The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 100 16 Years and the Beginning of the Plot

After getting rid of Qiao Feng, Li Mu didn't run around with his wife and children, but returned to Liangshan, diligently cultivated his internal strength, and devoted himself to developing his sect.

He never told Qiao Feng about the Changkong Sword Sect, and planned to surprise him in the future.

So Qiao Feng only knew Li Mu's name, but didn't know anything about his identity. Qiao Feng would still not tell others that he had a master.

Half a year later, he successfully joined Wang Jiantong's sect and began to practice Dragon Subduing Palm and Dog Beating Stick.

It's just that the dog-beating stick method is not in line with his method. He just learned it so that he can pass it on in the future, but he probably won't use it when fighting against the enemy.

More than a year after Li Mu and his wife returned to Liangshan, Wu Yazi brought Su Xinghe to visit them.

At this time they have eliminated Ding Chunqiu, and the Xingxiu Sect no longer exists.

Ruan Xingzhu originally wanted to keep his master in Liangshan, and Li Mu also intended to enshrine him as the Supreme Elder.

It's a pity that Wu Yazi declined politely, he has already joined the eldest sister Tianshan Child Elder, and now lives in the Vulture Palace of Piaomiao Peak in Tianshan.

Now he brings his disciple Su Xinghe and disciple Yan Wangdi Xue Muhua together to study medical skills painstakingly, trying to restore his senior sister's body shape.

Seeing this, Li Mu and his wife couldn't say anything more, Wu Yazi and Su Xinghe stayed in Liangshan for half a month, then they left immediately and went back to Tianshan.

……

The Changkong Sword Sect has money, masters, excellent skills, and territory. In the words of cultivators, it means that there is no shortage of wealth and companion skills, and its development is extremely rapid.

The direct disciple Li Mu didn't take any more, because Ruan Xiong and the others had already entered the martial arts school, and they only needed to keep accumulating internal energy to improve their cultivation, and then began to accept direct disciples.

With the growth of direct disciples and inner disciples, the Changkong Sword Sect was able to flourish.

In just ten years, the number of elite disciples exceeded [-], the number of inner disciples exceeded [-], and the number of outer disciples was three times that of inner disciples, and most of them were orphans.

Only a small number are residents of towns with a radius of hundreds of miles, and they send their children to the Sky Sword Sect to learn from them.

And the disciples have broken through the [-] mark, most of them are young and strong, and they come from all over the land of Qilu.

Most of them are good people, because the Sky Sword Sect is very strict in controlling the origin of the disciples.

Although I dare not say that there is no treacherous person, but there will never be many.

Once he became a disciple of Chang Kong and was found to have committed crimes in the past, his martial arts would be abolished and he would be expelled from Liangshan, or he would be sent to the government for investigation.

Not all of these disciples live in Liangshan, and many of them have their own business, but they are only under the name of the Changkong Sword Sect.

When the sect has something to do, they go to do it themselves. When there is nothing to do, they can live their lives as usual, and just report to the Changkong branch in each town every month.

Naturally, there is no salary to receive in this situation, and the disciples who are resident in Liangshan can receive five taels of silver a month, which is six taels a year.

In this era where the annual living expenses are only one and a half taels, an annual income of six taels already belongs to the middle class.

But those disciples who are outside, if they encounter any problems, they can also ask other disciples or even the sect for help, and the other disciples and the sect will definitely help them solve the problem.

This also made the disciples in the sky extremely united.

This model was established by Li Mu for reference from Hongmen.

With the successful example of Hongmen, as long as there are no problems with the Changkong Sword Sect, the disciples of Changkong will sooner or later become a super powerful force that spreads all over the world and is no less than the beggar gang.

In terms of funds, the Sky Sword Sect also has its own business, which is a partnership with the Beijing East and West Road appeasement envoys.

The appeasement envoy of the East and West Roads of Beijing was the former prefect of Jeju.

After the development of the Long Sky Sword Sect, the prefect of Jeju's political performance has been rising steadily. He was promoted a few years ago and became the comfort envoy of the East and West Roads of Beijing.

The current prefect of Jeju is on the same path as him, and is responsible for direct communication with the Changkong Sword Sect.

Li Mu didn't come up with anything that would affect the development of the times.

He just invented daily necessities such as soap, scented soap, washing powder, toothpaste, etc., replacing pancreas, saponin powder, and saponin juice.

This has already made the Changkong Sword Sect wealthy, and there is no need to move the treasures of Tianning Temple.

Daily-use consumables can be said to be the largest in the market and have a long history, because everyone needs to use them and will continue to use them.

The key is still to monopolize the business now, Li Mu is backed by the government, and the prefect of Jeju is behind the Beijing East and West Road appeasement, and there are naturally people behind the appeasement.

Although the bulk of the business income is taken by a certain boss in Kaifeng's mansion in the capital, it can be exchanged for the strong support of the government, which is beneficial and harmless.

It's nothing more than making less money. It's useless for Li Mu to ask for so much money. It's enough to support the development of the sect, but he can't take it away.

And after the disciples grow up, they will naturally need to go out to travel around the rivers and lakes. As a result, the bandits and bandits on the land of Qilu and the heroes of the green forest have suffered a great disaster.

The law and order situation in Qilu land was cleared up, and the bandit land that used to be rampant with bandits has become the safest place in Song Dynasty.

These are all achievements of Qilu state government officials, and they are naturally very close to the Changkong Sword Sect.

Today's Sky Sword Sect is the undisputed No. [-] Qilu Sect.

Li Mu's most important decision for the Sky Sword Sect lies in the eight words "the great chivalrous man will serve the country and the people".

When the Great Song Dynasty fought with Xixia, he sent a large number of masters to the border to help the Song army in the battle, and made great achievements.

Of course, it is not a frontal battle, but a hidden front such as scouting, passing information, assassinating Xixia generals, dealing with Xixia Yipintang masters assassinating their own generals, etc.

To put it plainly, it is the work of secret agents and special forces.

Even Li Mu personally killed more than [-] Xixia Yipintang masters at the border, and killed several Xixia generals among the tens of thousands of troops. The officers and soldiers of the Song army were shocked.

Many Changkong disciples took this opportunity to directly enter the army and eat the imperial rations under the recommendation of the generals in the army. Ruan Baiming was one of them.

As his original destiny, he served under the command of Chung Park, the famous general of the Song Dynasty, and was a colleague of Yi Sunshin.

With Li Mu's situation, he would naturally not be like other people in the martial arts world who would never deal with the imperial court. On the contrary, he very much supported his disciples joining the army or studying for fame.

As long as there are a few high-ranking talents in the future, the Sky Sword Sect will be extremely stable with this kind of enthusiasm.

Li Mu and his various achievements of the Sky Sword Sect were greatly appreciated by Song Ting.

The great hero, serving the country and the people, has once again become the slogan for Li Mu to gain the favor and support of the court, and the people of the rivers and lakes admire and support him.

When the name "North Qiaofeng, South Murong" appeared in the Jianghu, Li Mu was already called "Giant Xia" by the people of the world, which is a more noble title than "Hero".

The title of hero is already rotten in Jianghu, but there is only one Juxia in the entire Song Dynasty.

And because he charged into the formation alone, broke the Xixia shield formation, and when he beheaded the Xixia general, he used the unique skill of a ten-foot sword light, and was honored as the "Sword God".

After the war, Li Mu returned to Liangshan, but his name spread all over the world in a very short time.

At this moment, Qiao Feng finally knew the origin of his master, and for a moment he felt proud and proud.

During the Song Xia War, he actually brought the disciples of the Beggar Clan to participate in the battle, but it was not in the same place as Li Mu, so he passed by just like that.

Originally, he wanted to go to Ludi to meet his master, but unfortunately he is now the leader of the beggar gang, and he is entangled in affairs, so he can't get away and go to Ludi.

I had no choice but to send someone to send a handwritten letter to say hello to Master and Mistress, and when I have some free time in the future, I will go to Ludi to visit Master and Mistress and visit my junior sister.

……

With the passage of time, the Changkong Sword Sect expanded northward to the Yanzhao region and southward to the Jianghuai region with Qilu as the center.

If the sphere of influence of the Changkong Sword Sect is drawn on the map, it will almost cover the eastern part of China.

In the Central Plains, Shaanxi, and Huguang areas in the west, the tentacles cannot be extended for the time being.

After all, although Li Mu is well-known, the Central Plains Wulin is the core of the Great Song Wulin. There are too many forces and the situation is too complicated, which will involve a lot of energy from the Changkong Sword Sect. The gain is not worth the loss. Li Mu does not intend to dominate the Wulin.

Therefore, he has no plans to develop westward at all. His plan is to let the Sky Sword Sect spread to the southwest along the east, southeast, and southern coastal areas.

In this way, it will be more convenient to send troops to Dali in the future.

They can even take a boat by sea, along the coastline to the North Sea, and cross Dali from Guangxi, which is not only easier, but also convenient and quick.

……

In the past ten years, Ruan Xingzhu gave birth to two more children for Li Mu, but for some unknown reason, they were all daughters.

The third child is called A Xiu, and the fourth child is called A Mei.

Originally, Li Mu also wanted to try to see if he could break the shackles of the original plot and let Ruan Xingzhu give birth to a son for him.

But after giving birth to four daughters in a row, Li Mu really didn't want to have another child, and Ruan Xingzhu was not a reproductive machine.

Therefore, from now on, when he and Ruan Xingzhu live as husband and wife, he will "refine and transform Qi" and will not leave any children or grandchildren.

In the world of Xiaoao, after giving birth to Yue Lingshan, Ning Zhong inexplicably never got pregnant again, and this world can only have daughters.

Li Mu sometimes doubts whether there is such a thing as "the way of heaven" in every world, and whether there are any plot corrections.

But apart from the aspect of giving birth, he didn't feel any plot modification in other aspects.

Yun Zhonghe, one of the four villains, had already been slaughtered by his own disciples who had traveled around the rivers and lakes a few years ago.

Elder Yue and Canglong, the third Yue, were also completely subdued by his disciples after a few good meals, and now he is honestly serving as a deacon elder in the outer sect.

Although his temper was still irritable, he only had an evil face, and he didn't see him twisting anyone's neck with a "click" every now and then.

Ruan Xingzhu couldn't give birth to a son, Li Mu and she didn't care much about it, but it made old boxer Xu, Ruan Xiong and others worry.

When Mrs. Ruan complained about her disappointment, it was Li Mu who explained the popular science to them.

Women are only responsible for conceiving children, and giving birth to children depends on whether the offspring sent into the mother's body by a man are male or female, and it has nothing to do with women.

After knowing these things, Ruan Xiong and the others had nothing to say, but they were still worried. Even Ruan Xiong privately persuaded Li Mu to accept another one.

The relationship between Li Mu and Ruan Xingzhu has been strong for a long time, but they refuse to accept concubines, even a bunch of old guys.

However, with the Changkong Sword Sect's status in the arena and the good life they live with them, they are no longer so attached to their status as relatives of the emperor.

If it wasn't for Li Mu's obsession, they all wanted to persuade Li Mu to forget it and just be a giant in Song Dynasty.

Li Mu said that the throne of Dali should belong to him, and he can dismiss his things, but others can't take them away.

Even if he only sits on the throne for one day, as long as he has sat on it, it means that he has taken back what belongs to him, and he doesn't care what happens after that.

Hearing what he said, everyone stopped talking and let him go.

……

In the blink of an eye, another six years passed. This year, the plot that Li Mu had been waiting for for a long time finally happened.

In recent years, many masters in the martial arts world have been killed by their own unique skills, and everyone in the world speculates that it was Nan Murong who did it.

After receiving this news, Li Mu knew that Ruan Xingzhu's skill was going to skyrocket again.

After Azhu Azi started to practice internal skills, Ruan Xingzhu gave them some skills to make them grow faster, so her own skills were depleted.

These 16 years are tantamount to no cultivation. If Li Mu hadn't allowed her to keep her internal energy savings of more than 50 years at any time, she would have wanted to pass on more.

After staying with Murong Bo for so many years, this skill-making machine has matured, and it's time to pick peaches.

This guy has 50 to [-] years of accumulation, as long as he can get his skills, Li Qiushui's skills can basically absorb it.

With the skills of these two, the four daughters can also rank among the top experts in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu immediately made some arrangements. He sent A Zhu to let her take a group of elite disciples to Jiangnan, and explained some things to her.

When A'Zhu heard that he was going to help the elder brother, he was very interested, and took ten elite disciples, and headed for Wuxi.

Afterwards, Li Mu let Ruan Xingzhu sit in the sect, and gradually dispatched elite disciples and inner disciples to Dali along the route he had planned.

He himself brought Yue Canglong and a group of outer disciples to Dali Wuliang Mountain to act.

It's just that they will part ways on the road, and he only entrusts Yue Canglong and his disciples to do some things.

Knowing that Li Mu was already planning to do something, Ruan Xingzhu didn't ask to go with Li Mu, but decided to personally lead the elite of his disciples to take a boat to Beihai.

Those outer disciples were actually sent by Li Mu to absorb internal energy for Duan Yu.

In the original plot, the four villains played a key role in Duan Yu's chance.

Now that the four villains no longer exist, Li Mu needs to make up for this gap if he wants to give Duan Yu a chance.

As for those outer disciples who lost part or even all of their skills, they would not do it in vain.

After this incident is over, Li Mu will let them enter the inner sect to practice the Nine Yin Magic Art as compensation.
