I have become immortal, Taoist friends still need to be diligent

Starting from the next day, Li Mu started studying medicine next to the middle-aged man.

Because Li Mu mostly knows some about herbal medicines, but many of them have never seen the real ones. Once you get familiar with it, you will know, so Li Mu mainly went to study pathology.

In addition to sleeping for four hours every day, practicing for three hours, and studying medical skills for another three hours, Li Mu arranged the remaining time alone.

Compared to other apprentices, Li Mu was relatively relaxed. There was nothing he had to do. Li Mu positioned himself as a free man and could go wherever he needed to go.

Every day was very fulfilling.

Sometimes I go to have a big meal, sometimes I go buy a book, sometimes I go listen to music, etc.

"Brother Li? Why didn't Brother Li even tell me when he came to the county? I wanted to fulfill my duty as a landlord."

Li Mu gave himself a holiday today and was about to go out to relax, but he heard someone calling him.

"It turns out to be Brother Liu, long time no see."

When Li Mu saw that the person who came was actually Liu He, he cupped his hands and said.

After all, he was still going to hang out in Qingping County in the future, so there was no need to give face to this local snake.

"Oh, Brother Li, I will be the boss today, let's get together."

"Also."

Li Mu saw that Liu He had lost the impulsiveness of his youth and now seemed very calm, so he did not refuse.

"Waiter, let's have a table of good wine and good food, and open a first-class private room. I want to treat my brother to a drink today, so don't fool me with inferior wine."

Arriving at a high-end restaurant, Liu He shouted to the waiter.

"How can that be done? Mr. Liu, make arrangements immediately. Please come over here."

Then a group of people went to the private room, Li Mu, Liu He, and two of Liu He's followers.

"Brother Li, so you plan to stay in the county permanently?"

"What? Young Master Liu doesn't welcome you?"

"No way, it's too late to be happy."

After three drinks, Li Mu became familiar with Liu He.

The main reason is that Liu He is too familiar with himself.

……

"So your father intends to quit? Then you are going to be the leader of the gang?"

"Oh, I made Brother Li laugh, so I just have to make a living and not be on the stage."

Li Mu, Liu He and others were changing cups and cups, and they probably heard about Liu He's situation.

Liu He's father only had Liu He when he was in his thirties. Now Liu He is about the same age as Li Mu, and Liu He's father is already in his fifties. He feels that his strength has declined, so he plans to retreat behind the scenes.

Let Liu He take the position in advance. With his help, he can also practice well.

"Without further ado, Brother Liu will be the leader of the gang someday, and I will definitely go and support him."

"Hahaha, I couldn't ask for it."

……

Afterwards, Li Mu and Liu He went home respectively after the gathering.

Li Mu also understood the dark forces in Qingping County.

There are three big gangs, all occupying certain streets in the business district of Qingping County.

They are the Blue Bird Gang, the Black Tiger Gang, and the Broadsword Gang.

Among them, the Broadsword Gang is the most powerful, because Liu He's father is the only second-rate early warrior. The other two gang leaders are both third-rate warriors.

Although Liu He's father had originally intended to unify the dark forces in Qingping County, second-rate warriors could not crush third-rate warriors.

After all, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. In addition, Liu He's father is getting older and his energy and blood are gradually declining. His realm will not regress, but the decline in combat power will become increasingly difficult to control.

Therefore, the strength does not allow it.

So Liu He, who was already in the late third-rate stage, took over in advance.

The main income of several gangs depends on their own casinos and Fengyue venues. There is also the need to collect protection fees from other shops.

Although there were no big fights between the previous gangs, small vandalism was indispensable. Today you occupy an extra shop, and tomorrow he will take it back. The injured person is often the shop owner, and sometimes he has to give three pieces of money.

The county government didn't care, but the martial arts in the Wei Dynasty was prosperous. If Wang Er is in charge today, Zhang San will be in charge tomorrow. As long as it doesn't go too far and massacres a large number of civilians for no reason, they will turn a blind eye.

Moreover, county police officers often receive money from gangs.

……

"Brother Li, the county government posted a notice today saying that there is going to be a military conscription."

"Well, I know that all those recruited are warriors, and the treatment is not bad."

It was another day of free time, and Li Mu and Liu He continued to drink and listen to music.

"Hey, some people from the gang have applied for the army. I heard that this time it was because of the invasion of Tang State. You said it's just Tang State, how dare he do it?"

Liu He looked so bitter and resentful that Li Mu felt ashamed.

Others, even the leader of a gang of dark forces, can understand the righteousness deeply, but I feel less deeply about it.

"You also want to go to the battlefield?"

Li Mu asked rhetorically.

"If my father wasn't old, I would definitely go."

Liu He said firmly.

When Li Mu heard what Liu He said, he felt a little touched and murmured to himself.

"I think many martial arts disciples will also go."

Before Liu He could speak again, Li Mu pulled Liu He up.

"Let's go, we can't go, can't we go with the money?"

"Yes, let's go."

Then the two of them came to the county government office. Li Mu relied on his reputation as a scholar to meet the county magistrate.

"Sir, we are also citizens of the Wei Dynasty. Although we cannot go to the battlefield to fight with the enemy, we still want to do our little bit."

Then Li Mu took out a thousand taels of silver notes in front of the county magistrate's shocked eyes.

Of the one thousand taels, 800 taels were borrowed by Li Mu and Liu He, and Liu He also borrowed the eight hundred taels by using the gang's public property.

"I am just like Brother Li."

Still drunk, Liu He also took out three hundred taels of silver notes.

"Ahem, cough, cough, Li Xiucai, Liu Xian's nephew Gao Yi, I will definitely send them to the front line, and I will not let their righteous deeds go to waste."

Originally, the county magistrate was quietly processing official documents, but when he heard that Li Mu was coming, he met with him to see if Li Mu was okay.

After all, County Magistrate Zhao at that time had some connection with Li Mu, and Magistrate Zhao was no longer a county guard. He had been transferred to the capital a long time ago. I heard that he was already a high-ranking official who could go to court.

Although the current magistrate of Qingping County only wants to retire in Qingping County and has no ambition to make progress, if Li Muchen gets in touch with Magistrate Zhao, he can still do it if he loses his retirement position.

So I came to meet Li Mu, and saw two people drunk and asking for donations.

You must know that donations are usually made when the war is serious, and various places will call on wealthy households to donate, and usually the court has enough money to pay military salaries to the soldiers.

But someone taking the initiative to donate is also his political achievement. Although it is not big, it can also make him feel more at ease in his retirement.

"Someone, take this letter and the banknote to the county governor."

After Li Mu and Li Mu left the county government office, the county magistrate wrote a letter according to the truth and gave it to the officer to send to the county.

Li Mu donated money partly out of passion, and partly out of hope that the martial arts disciples and other soldiers, including Zhang Fugui, could come back safely.

One thousand taels may not be much, but it is still a good hope.

"Okay, I have to work to pay off the debt."
