Chapter 75

"Hmm! Are you also a government official?" Ling Zhan frowned.

"Not bad! Ren Tong is my person. My name is Yuwen Chengji, Prefect of Wu Jun."

Su Fan had a few smiles on his face. The more he looked at this person, the more Su Fan felt that this person was good and worthy of his submission, so he revealed his identity for the first time.

"You are the leader of this group of bandits. Looking at how you manage this place in an orderly manner, it looks pretty good. Your ability is no worse than my subordinate."

"You are a beautiful person, why become a thief?"

"Why not follow this official back? You can also go back to being good. Being a bandit? You wouldn't want your descendants, their descendants, to all be bandits, right?"

"This official gives you a chance to be a decent person."

Su Fan didn't believe in any kingly aura, but as a Prefect of a commandery and a disciple of a clan, he believed that in this world, there were not many people who could refuse him.

Before the Song and Ming Dynasties, the aristocratic clans were definitely the benchmark. The Nine-Rank Impartial System of the two Jins brought the power of the aristocratic clans to its peak.

Although the Sui Dynasty was established and Emperor Wen of Sui began to suppress the clans, in this world, the aristocratic clans were still the mainstream.

Of course, this world is dominated by martial arts, and those supreme sects are also mainstream, and even the Buddhist sect's Cihang Jingzhai wants to manipulate the world's major events and preside over imperial power.

Later, they did succeed, and they bet on Li Shimin, which indeed allowed Li Shimin to ascend the throne and hit the Demon Sect.

However, it's a pity that Li Shimin is such a person, naturally unwilling to become a puppet of Cihang Jingzhai.

He turned around and united with the Demon Sect, giving them a backstab.

Otherwise, how could Wu Zhao ascend to the throne?

Without the Li family's indulgence, even if she had great talent and strategy, it would be impossible to become a female emperor.

Of course, historically, the female emperor relied on the Buddhist sect, but in this world, Wu Zhao is a disciple of the Demon Sect, and also a mortal enemy of Cihang Jingzhai, a member of the Yin Gui Sect.

Obviously, in this world, the Demon Sect's six paths and the Buddhist sect are all existences comparable to aristocratic clans.

It is also the Demon Sect's six paths, which have existed even longer than some aristocratic clans. This world's Demon Sect's six paths are the sects other than the Confucian school among the nine schools and ten schools of the Han Dynasty, and were suppressed by the Confucian school to become the secular demonic path.

They have been passed down for a long time, and once they could even subvert the imperial court.

The strength is extraordinary.

But no matter what, the aristocratic clans still have great attraction for talent.

After Su Fan finished speaking, the young man was moved, and the bandits behind him didn't need to be mentioned.

Hearing that Su Fan was the Prefect of Wu Jun, everyone was full of fear. No matter what, these people were just bottom-level people who had no way out and couldn't live.

For the government, there was a natural fear. Now that the Prefect of a commandery said that he could give them a chance, suddenly, everyone had no resistance, and instead, there was more gratitude towards Su Fan.

"Are you really the Prefect of Wu Jun?"

Ling Zhan looked at Su Fan seriously and asked.

"Of course! Look, this is the Prefect's seal."

Su Fan threw out the Wu Jun Prefect's seal he carried with him casually. The latter received the seal in a panic and looked at it carefully.

His heart was already determined, and suddenly his face also carried a bit of solemnity and caution.

This is respect for the official position of Wu Jun Prefect. He, Ling Zhan, is not a commoner of humble origin.

He, Ling Zhan, is a disciple of the Ling family of Wu Jun. The Ling family of Wu Jun, in its most prosperous period, belonged to the Three Kingdoms period of the late Han Dynasty. The family produced the Jiangbiao Twelve Tiger Ministers, Ling Tong.

Although the Ling family has declined now, and he can only act as the leader of bandits, he still remembers the family's glory.

"How about it? What does this official's proposal think?"

Su Fan looked at the young man, smiling and saying. Those bandits behind him some even put down their weapons. Obviously, the name of a Prefect is enough to scare these people.

"Prefect Yuwen, are you really willing to give us all a chance?"

Ling Zhan had to ask again cautiously.

"This official's words are as heavy as a mountain. Give them a chance, and they will go down the mountain. And this official has been reclaiming wasteland in Wu Jun. Now that they go down the mountain, they still have the opportunity to divide a few mu of land."

Su Fan once again brought out a temptation. As soon as these words came out, all the bandits put down their weapons.

Land is the lifeblood of all people. Hearing that there is land, now if you let these people follow the young man, it is probably very difficult.

Ling Zhan, upon hearing this, also breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "As long as Prefect Yuwen keeps his word, this life of Ling Zhan will be sold to you."

"Your name is Ling Zhan, very good. You will not regret your choice."

There were more than 1,200 bandits in Lion Mountain, of which the old, weak, women, and children accounted for 60% or 70%, and there were only three or four hundred strong men.

Ren Tong led people up the mountain. The reason why he was defeated, apart from underestimating the enemy, was also because of Ling Zhan's strength and his ability to command troops.

On the way, Su Fan also knew Ling Zhan's identity, a descendant of Ling Tong, one of the Tiger Ministers of Jiangbiao, and had a complete family inheritance.

And there are martial arts tempering flesh inheritance, not just their Ling family's, but also the Sun family's of the late Han Dynasty.

It's just that the Sun family's obviously has missing parts.

Su Fan didn't ask Ling Zhan to take out the family inheritance, but he got the "White Tiger Tempering Gang Art" of the Sun family.

Upon learning that Su Fan was interested in the method of tempering the flesh of martial generals, the latter was also quite emotionally intelligent and took the initiative to hand it over.

"These methods of tempering the flesh of martial generals seem to have very high requirements for the body."

Su Fan soon finished reading this "White Tiger Tempering Gang Art," and after finishing, his brows frowned.

"Indeed! This kind of method, ordinary people can't stand it at all. If you practice it forcibly, it is easy to consume vitality, making the lifespan seriously shortened!"

Ling Zhan nodded.

"It's fierce, it's fierce, but the flaws are great, and it's very difficult to popularize. No wonder martial generals are declining now."

Su Fan sighed. This is the inheritance of the martial generals of the Three Kingdoms period. From this method of tempering the flesh, he can feel that the terror of those fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms period.

Not to mention splitting mountains and overturning seas, but the terrifying strike can break the city wall like Wu Jun.

This kind of direct swallowing of heaven and earth origin energy to temper the flesh is how domineering it is, much stronger than Su Fan's method.

But the flaws are great. If the flesh is not strong, I estimate that it will explode instantly. Even if the body foundation is good, after the continuous scouring of heaven and earth origin energy, the body cannot withstand this rough tempering method.

Domineering and rough, this is Su Fan's view of this "White Tiger Tempering Gang Art." Of course, it is fierce, indeed fierce. Cultivating to a high level, the explosive gang energy is definitely terrifying. Su Fan feels that even Foundation Establishment cultivators might not be able to block the attacks of those fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms period.

"Actually, it can also be made up for with medicine."

Ling Zhan couldn't help but say.

"Indeed, but the cost is huge."

Su Fan shook his head with a smile, and in his heart, he also understood why this world is dominated by true energy martial arts. Flesh flow, strong is strong, but it is also too dangerous.
