Mengyao Zhao was not the only one surprised.
Even Yanzhi and Ah Fu, who was carrying glutinous rice, were dumbfounded.
"Miss…Miss knows magic," Yan Zhi muttered.”
Li Xiuyuan, on the other hand, had an expression of anticipation.
"The Mysterious Eight Sounds of Heaven is the Mystical Power of the Nine Heavenly Maidens. Although you only used the first sound of the Mysterious Eight Sounds of Heaven, it's more than enough to deal with a mere giant corpse.”
"The Mystical Power of the Nine Heavenly Maiden?"
Mengyao Zhao nodded.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the zither. The strings that her fingernails had plucked just now had all broken.
"I bought this zither from the Tidal Pavilion in Qiantang City. It costs forty-five taels of silver.”Mengyao Zhao felt her heart ache.
Although forty-five taels of silver was not cheap, it was still acceptable. After all, her mother's family was the county governor, and her in-law's family was the richest in Qiantang City.
The main thing was that this zither was the masterpiece of a famous teacher. It was difficult to buy it with money.
" The Mysterious Eight Sounds of Heaven is a divine spell," Li Xiuyuan said." It's true that ordinary objects can't withstand it.”
"How about this? In a few days, I'll hunt some long tendons of the flood dragon to repair it. I'll definitely be able to make the zither as good as new and use the Mysterious Eight Tones of Heaven.”
Mengyao Zhao's heart warmed. She stood up and thanked him,""Husband, there's no need to trouble yourself. In the end, it's just a zither.”
"It's a small matter. It's not troublesome at all." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.”
In the arena.
When the servants saw the arm of the giant corpse fly out and attack their young master, they were instantly shocked and furious.
"Motherf * cker, how dare you sneak attack Young Master!”
"Brothers, let's cripple this giant corpse together!”
"We have to chop it into pieces, or else its broken limbs can still move.”
"Chop it up so that it won't disturb Young Master again!”
The servants seemed to have been injected with chicken blood as they used the Tiger Subduing Saber Technique at the risk of their lives.
Each of them forcefully raised the realm of the Tiger Subduing Saber Technique by one or two levels. Their arms danced crazily, and the cold saber light interweaved into a net and attacked the giant corpse.
Now.
Four people in a group, use the Tiger Subduing Dragon Formation.
It was no longer the previous mode where one person was injured and one person was a substitute.
Everyone, attack!
With the fastest speed, he would chop the giant corpse into pieces!!
Fu saw the dense saber light in the field and the servants who were driving wolves and swallowing tigers. He immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a low voice,"Too fierce, they are too fierce.”
"I'm afraid the navy of Qiantang City can't compare to the servants.”
Ah Fu knew that the servants 'opponent was the giant corpse.
A rotten and terrifying zombie with a bloated corpse!
He didn't know.
He thought that he was facing a little white rabbit that was easy to bully.
The giant corpse was indeed ferocious. It could still move even after being cut in half.
It was a pity.
It encountered even more ferocious servants.
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
The giant corpse turned into a pile of corpse pieces and scattered on the martial arts practice field. It couldn't be more dead.
The servants panted heavily. Their eyes were red and their arms were trembling.
They were exhausted.
Even so, he did not put down the saber in his hand.
"Pa!"
"Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!"
Applause.
It sounded on the training field!
Li Xiuyuan stood up from his rocking chair and clapped for the dozen servants who had passed the Life and Death Trial.
"Good, not bad at all."
"To be honest, each and every one of your performances have greatly exceeded my expectations!”
Li Xiuyuan clapped and said,""Now, you have mastered the Tiger Subduing Saber Technique, Wandering Dragon Steps, and the Tiger Subduing Wandering Dragon Formation.”
"Now, every one of you is equivalent to a second-rate expert when you go out and walk the martial arts world.”
"If we set up the Wandering Dragon Formation in groups of four, it would be enough to kill a first-rate expert.”
"Even if a top-notch expert comes, with the Wandering Dragon Formation, we can still deal with them for half a day.”
"As for raiders and fugitives, they are like sheep entering the tiger's mouth when facing you. They are not considered enemies at all.”
Li Xiuyuan's lips curled into a smile.
This was the result of his training.
The effect was obvious!
Of course.
Apart from Li Xiuyuan's self-created Tiger Subduing Saber Technique and Wandering Dragon Steps, it was inseparable from the hard work of the servants.
The servants looked at each other and knelt on one knee in unison. They held a hand and said loudly,"Thank you for your nurturing, Young Master!"
"We swear to follow Young Master."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and instructed,""The blood of the giant corpse contains corpse poison. There is glutinous rice here. You can apply glutinous rice on the wound to get rid of the corpse poison.”
"From now on, 11 of you will guard the newly built inn outside Qiantang City. The remaining four will protect the safety of Madam's daily travels. Each person will be paid 15 taels of silver a year.”
Fifteen taels of silver!
The servants sucked in a breath of cold air, their eyes revealing excitement and gratitude.
One had to know.
A family of three commoners living in Qiantang City for a year only needed ten taels of silver.
This cost was naturally lower in Tian Ning County.
Their annual income was fifteen taels of silver, which meant that even if their wives did not work in the fields and weaving, they could still afford to support their family. Moreover, they had six or seven taels of silver left.
As for the magistrate of Tianning County, his annual salary was only twenty-five taels of silver.
"Young Master, isn't it too much?" Ah Fu asked softly.”
"The servants in the old master's residence only earn six taels of silver a year.”
Li Xiuyuan glanced at him and shook his head with a smile. He asked,""Although the servants of the Li Residence are all good, how are they compared to my servants?”
Ah Fu thought for a moment and answered,"He's far from being the young master's servant's match."”
Li Xiuyuan continued," My servants have to guard the inn outside Qiantang City. They face the risk of raiders and fugitives. How dangerous is it compared to the servants of the Li Residence?"”
"Of course it's more dangerous to stay in the inn," Fu replied without hesitation.”
Realization dawned on him as he clapped his hands.
"Young Master's annual salary is very reasonable!”
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said to Li Tiezhu and Li Daniu,""From now on, the two of you will be the foremen. The people protecting Mengyao Zhao and the people guarding the inn will change shifts once a week.”
"For now, arrange for a few good men to go to the mortuary outside Qiantang City. It is currently the time for the inn to be newly built. A large number of materials will be used to prevent the local ruffians from causing trouble.”
"Yes, Young Master!"
Li Tiezhu and Li Daniu cupped their fists and bowed.
"Okay, go ahead."
Li Xiuyuan turned around and asked Mengyao Zhao,""Previously, when you were chatting with me, you said that there was a fortune-teller in Qiantang City who was very effective.”
Mengyao Zhao blushed and whispered,""Don't make fun of me, hubby. That Master God-Diviner was most likely just a rumor made up by the people of the city. How could I be alone in an empty boudoir?”
"It's just that mother cares about me, so before I got married, I went to a fortune-teller to do a divination. I wanted to know if I would be happy in the future.”
"In the end, that fortune-teller spouted nonsense. He said that I would stay alone in an empty room and be happy for nothing. However, I had a deep affinity with Buddha and would definitely be rewarded in my next life.”
Li Xiuyuan's eyelids twitched as he thought to himself,""This fortune-teller really is a master of fortune telling.”
