Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Two gang leaders as guards? Lin Ping must be poisonous!

Jiang Xiuwen was so angry he laughed, and he no longer had the strength to hit him.

The military system of the Wu Kingdom established a garrison in each prefecture, and each city lord had 10,000 private troops, which was equivalent to two garrisons.

The commander of the garrison was the highest-ranking officer of the garrison, under whom were five captains, then squad leaders, then platoon leaders, and finally platoon leaders.

Each gang leader commanded fifty soldiers, making him a mid-level general.

Lin Ping is just a merchant, and now he's become a son-in-law. What right does he have to ask two shopkeepers to be his bodyguards? Does he have no shame?

Lin Ping was also helpless; he had made many enemies in the city over the years.

Not long ago, he offended the casino owner again.

These people didn't kill him for money, but to vent their anger.

Therefore, if he is killed by these people, he will be unable to complete the mission.

The city lord was furious. He had been blinded by greed and had actually chosen such a shameless spendthrift son as his son-in-law.

Lin Ping couldn't miss this chance to save his life, and said righteously, "If I were to go out with two squad leaders, not only would it be impressive, but it would also let people know that the City Lord's Mansion is full of talented people and experts..."

Lin Ping left his words unfinished, giving the city lord ample room for imagination. As a spendthrift son, he couldn't very well reveal the secrets hidden in the shadows!

"Give him two squad leaders!" the city lord said to Jiang Yunying, trying to get her opinion.

Now, the city lord's 10,000 private troops are under Jiang Yunying's command, and any mobilization of the captains requires her approval.

Jiang Yunying naturally did not object; she would never disobey her father's orders.

Weren't we supposed to be here to serve morning tea? How did it turn into Lin Ping's show?

Hahaha! That's great! Lin Ping felt secretly pleased and almost laughed out loud.

With a personal attendant and two bodyguards, he was incredibly impressive! It was no wonder Lin Ping had married into the family!

Lin Ping couldn't help but think that being a spendthrift wasn't so bad. No matter how outrageous your demands were, others would think it was perfectly reasonable, since you were a spendthrift after all. Not making outrageous demands would only arouse suspicion.

If a decent person said these words, they would probably be beaten to death.

Jiang Xiuwen stormed off in anger, abandoning the whip behind him.

Jiang Yunying also went to the military camp. Every day at this time, she would train the soldiers and also select two squad leaders for Lin Ping.

Only the city lord's wife gave him a kind look, which was an extra bonus for Lin Ping.

On the surface, the other party seems to have no power, yet she can influence everyone's thoughts. Perhaps in the future, Lin Ping will have to rely on this mother-in-law for support.

"Alright, Yunying has gone to help you choose a leader, and I will also assign you a personal attendant. Tomorrow morning, take them home to have a look!"

The city lord said weakly, he hadn't expected it to be so difficult to talk to a son-in-law.

Fortunately, he finally found a suitable son-in-law.

He has no ambition, yet he can still help the city lord's mansion spend money.

"This humble son-in-law takes his leave..."

Lin Ping bowed and retreated respectfully.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. Lin Ping was still lost in his daydream, drooling and muttering to himself.

"Greetings, Li Changsui!" came Xiaohui's sweet voice from outside the door.

Approaching them was a servant dressed in a blue robe and a small hat, who had an arrogant air about him and took small, quick steps toward Xiao Hui.

"Is the young master still not up?" The arrogant servant still held his head high, not even glancing at Xiao Hui.

Xiao Hui's attitude became even more respectful, her head bowed as if she had done something wrong, and she said softly, "The young master is still fast asleep..."

"The sun is high in the sky, and you're still sleeping? What kind of maid are you!" the servant in blue shouted angrily.

Xiao Hui lowered her head even further, almost bursting into tears from feeling wronged.

The maid is responsible for the master's lack of diligence, especially since she is a maid who is specifically in charge of Lin Ping's daily life.

Hearing the commotion outside the door while he was asleep, Lin Ping was immediately enraged. Xiao Hui was his personal maid, how dare outsiders lecture her?

"Who's making a racket outside?" Lin Ping's lazy voice carried a hint of authority.

For some reason, Xiao Hui, who was usually terrified of Lin Ping, suddenly felt emboldened upon hearing his voice.

Although Lin Ping was a playboy, he still had his moments of laughter. Moreover, Xiao Hui felt that he did not treat her as a servant. The person in front of her was different; he was always cold and seemed unable to speak normally except for scolding.

"Reporting to the young master, Li Changsui has arrived!" Xiao Hui answered through the door, her clear voice slightly hoarse.

Lin Ping then remembered that he had asked the city lord for a personal attendant yesterday, which must be because the news had arrived.

It's true that the attendant's status is slightly higher, but she is still a servant after all. You shouldn't have scolded my little Hui Shuang, and you shouldn't have disturbed my peaceful rest.

"Bring Li Changsui in," Lin Ping said calmly, but his anger was boiling over.

Xiao Hui pushed open the partition door, bowed slightly to let the other person go in first, and was even more respectful than she was to Lin Ping.

Li Changsui felt even more lost, and strode confidently to the front of the forest.

Lin Ping sized the fellow up, his teeth itching with hatred. He had heard that servants held high positions and even addressed their masters as brothers, but he never expected this fellow to be so arrogant and rude.

Given his spendthrift nature, he should have lost his temper long ago.

"Does Li Changsui think I, Lin Ping, get up too late?" Lin Ping said, spreading his arms wide. Xiao Hui naturally helped him get dressed, and the two worked together very well.

"A man of seven feet tall should take it upon himself to make contributions and establish a career!" Li Changsui clasped his hands together and kept gesturing to the upper right, truly feeling that the City Lord's Mansion couldn't function without him.

"Not bad, not bad, Li Changsui is right to teach him a lesson." Lin Ping nodded and applauded, a big smile on his lips.

"May I ask what Li Changsui's name is?" Lin Ping asked patiently, while Xiao Hui helped him put on his shoes.

Emboldened by Lin Ping's praise, Li Changsui became even more arrogant and replied, "My name is Li Mingxuan!"

Ordinary servants should refer to themselves as "slave" or "lowly person" when speaking to their masters, but only the head servant dares to use "I am below".

Bang!

Lin Ping's foot, which had just been put on a shoe, landed hard on Li Changsui's chest. Caught off guard, the man staggered back two steps and fell to the ground.

“You…you…” Li Changsui pointed at Lin Ping and mumbled. He had grown up in the city lord’s mansion and had been a servant for two years. Even the city lord had never beaten him. Now he was being taught a lesson by a son-in-law.

This is hard to swallow!

"What do you mean 'you'? Call me son-in-law!" Lin Ping kicked again, stomping directly on Li Mingxuan's back, increasing the force with each kick.

Li Mingxuan felt a throbbing pain in his chest, coughed incessantly, and his face turned green with anger.

If he were to be taught a lesson by the heir apparent, that would be one thing, but to be taught a lesson by a son-in-law who isn't even a real man—how is he supposed to maintain his standing in the city lord's mansion after this?

Li Mingxuan clenched his fists, seemingly wanting to fight Lin Ping to the death, but quickly gave up the idea.

He was, after all, a servant, and his high status was given to him by the city lord. Lin Ping, though incompetent, was considered half a member of the Jiang family and represented the face of the city lord's mansion. If this punch landed, he would likely be in big trouble.

"So what if you're a servant? Everything you have is given to you by the City Lord's Mansion. If you don't want to work here, then get out." Lin Ping cursed directly.

Xiao Hui was secretly delighted. She had long disliked Li Mingxuan's behavior, but she never expected that her son-in-law would ultimately stand up for her.

Who says our son-in-law is just a spendthrift? At least he's quite capable with his hands, and he's pretty impressive when he hits someone.

"What a load of rubbish!"

Lin Ping inwardly groaned. The kick had been too forceful, twisting his ankle. If he hadn't been disciplining Li Mingxuan, he probably would have been crying from the pain.

There are two attendants in the city lord's mansion. One is Li Mingxuan, and the other is Li Mingxuan's father. No wonder he is arrogant and even has a name.

Li Mingxuan had been exposed to the profession of a servant since childhood and had learned its essence. He was quick to adapt. His sly eyes darted around twice, and he immediately put on a smile. "Young master is right. It's all my fault. You mustn't get upset."

Lin Ping was stunned. This guy is even more shameless than me? Such a personality... I like it!

"Little Li, come here and help your son-in-law put on his other shoe," Lin Ping said, stepping back to the bedside and crossing his legs.

Li Mingxuan was unwilling to accept this strange title, but dared not object at this critical juncture, so he obediently helped Lin Ping put on his shoes.

“Young Master, the nickname ‘Little Li’ seems a bit…” Li Mingxuan said with a grin.

"Don't you think it's very classy? It suits your status. Since you like it so much, from now on you'll be called Little Li."

Lin Ping said in a serious tone, his face full of anger, clearly not giving Li Mingxuan a chance to change his mind.

Seeing that Li Mingxuan didn't speak, Lin Ping continued, "What? You don't like it?"

"No, no, no, I like it very much!"

Li Mingxuan nodded repeatedly, knowing full well that he couldn't fight city hall.

"If you like it, that's good. From now on, you belong to your son-in-law!"

Lin Ping laughed heartily, saying that it would be incredibly cool to walk down the street and call out someone's name.

After taking on this subordinate, Lin Ping was overjoyed, finally having some backing.

Next, Lin Ping led Da Ri with an arrogant and domineering gait, heading straight for the city lord's accounting office. Lin Ping was there to collect debts!
