Fan Li had his hands on his hips,
sitting the little sword boy on his shoulders,
under the moonlight,
standing for a long time.
The little sword boy lowered his head from time to time, looking at the big fool under him, and the tenderness in his eyes.
This gentleness is for this city wall.
The city wall of Shengle City was finally completed. In order to meet the construction deadline, hundreds of savage slaves died of exhaustion.
Many people will not be able to understand, including many people in the city. Why is this city rushing like this?
Although the life of a savage slave is not valuable, it can still be sold for money. Even if it is thrown into the workshop, it can still be used.
Even if the savages were compared to animals, they would not waste animals like this.
But recently, as news from Cheng Guo came one after another, the previous slanderous voices slowly disappeared.
The newly established Dacheng Kingdom seems to be collapsing in less than a year. Once the Chengguo collapses, then Shengle City is close to the Tianduan Mountains and is located in the easternmost part of the notification area of the Yan Kingdom. , will definitely be the first target of the savages.
The role that a city, a fortified city, can play cannot be underestimated. Even though the Yan people are famous for their iron cavalry and tyrannical power, but... under the rule of Shengle City, the real Yan people, on the contrary, Just a small part.
Moreover, there is a city behind you. Whether it is the transfer of grain and grass supplies or the strategic initiative in the army's rest and reorganization, it is truly in your own hands. To say the least, it is just to stabilize people's hearts and restrain them. The role of the powerful people in Jin cannot be ignored.
Many nearby powerful Wubao owners have recently taken the initiative to send their female families and children to live in Shengle City. Their families know their own affairs, and their Wubao stockades can block bandits and bandits. It's no big deal, but if the barbarian army comes, it won't be enough to see.
At the same time, what was different from when the Wenren family and the Helian family went to war with the Yan State was that at that time, the Lord of Wubao and the local powerful people were quite indifferent as if they were the grass in the city. In fact, in their hearts Not really that panicked.
It was nothing more than a change of the king's flag on the city wall and a change of court, but they still had the final say locally. They did not believe that the Yan people would raise the butcher's knife. Indeed, the Yan people did not raise the butcher's knife. They just specialized He carried out genocide against the Wenren family and the Helian family to vent their anger that these two families sent troops to attack him.
But this time is different. Once the savages come, how will they treat them?
If the Yan people and the Jin people are a confrontation between countries and a duel between two political forces, then the Yan people and the savages are a fight between different races.
Especially in the Shengle City area, the savage slave trade has really taken off over the past hundred years. Who has not stained their hands with the blood of the savages?
It is precisely because I know in my heart how I treat others that I have no illusions about others treating me "kindly";
And the news from Chengguo also verified this. The brutality and ferocity of the savages was indeed extremely terrifying.
So, no matter what impact the Savage Rebellion will have on the Yan State's political affairs, at least for Shengle City, it has had the effect of actively dissolving internal conflicts and strengthening local control.
Sixiang only sleeps for two hours a day now. She is busy reviewing and processing various articles every day. At the same time, she also has to go out to meet the visiting Wubao Lord and powerful people. She should make promises. Promises should be beaten;
These powerful men and fort masters are like mommies who used to have a bunch of young ladies under their hands in front of Siniang. They were kneaded and divided by Siniang back and forth, and everything , quite in order.
Liang Cheng is only responsible for training troops, and because recently a large number of local children from Wubao have either come by themselves or been sent by their elders to defend their homeland, Shengle City has attracted a lot of new soldiers. These require Liang Cheng Qu was in charge of the overall planning, but he was also unable to do all the work.
But the blind man who could have helped him share the work has not returned yet. Xue San and Fan Li, one went to the blacksmith workshop to oversee the construction of ordnance, and the other was responsible for building the city. She has her own work to do, so Siniang can only bear it all by herself.
Fortunately, the Lord is not at home either, so I can survive without the burden of daily sewing work.
The moonlight was soft,
Fan Li stretched out his hand and touched the bricks of the city wall, like an artist admiring the work he had just completed.
“Hey, you idiot, I say, this city is good, but it’s far from the real big cities in the world. How about you have some potential, and wait until you create a capable city in the future? Can you go and have fun in a city that is comparable to the capital?"
The little sword boy gave Fan Li instructions with an air of having seen the world.
To a certain extent, the little sword boy once accompanied Yuan Zhenxing on his travels. Although he suffered a lot, he did go to many places.
Fan Li shook his head and said nothing.
Most of the time, unless you take the initiative to ask a question that must be answered, such as "yes" or "no", Fan Li will most likely choose to remain silent.
Of course, there are exceptions. Sometimes Fan Li will suddenly say something, but that sentence will definitely make you mad to death.
The little sword boy patted Fan Li's head, slipped off his broad shoulders, pulled out his small wooden sword, and began to practice swordplay.
On the way to practice swordsmanship, she was once beaten by Fan Li, but her mentality was good enough, and her enthusiasm and subjective initiative for swordsmanship did not decline.
Fan Li continued to admire the city wall,
The little sword boy began to practice his sword by himself,
One big and one small, under the cover of the night , forming a strange harmony.
"Huh?"
A voice of suspicion came.
Fan Li turned his head, walked to the little sword boy, and looked ahead.
In front, a middle-aged man walked out. The man ignored Fan Li, who was so big, and kept staring at the little sword boy.
"Come on, let's dance two more dances for uncle."
"Don't scare the child."
The blind man's voice came from behind.
Fan Li took two steps back. Since it was the blind man who brought him back, he let down his guard.
The little sword boy looked at the Sword Master with some curiosity, and the Sword Master looked at her with the same curiosity, and said to the blind man at the same time:
"You said that in this city, there are Is this a gift for me?”
The little sword boy glared at the blind man, but the blind man was automatically immune to all threats from the gaze.
"Do you like it?" the blind man asked.
The sword master nodded and said:
"I like it very much."
The conversation between the two looked like they were engaging in some kind of immoral and shameless act. The shady transaction smells disgusting. < /p>
A born swordsman,
For a master of swordsmanship,
How could he not like it?
The emperor wants to pass on the country, the princes want to pass on the wealth, and everyone in the world wants to pass on their own skills and legacy.
Why can’t the little sword boy understand the meaning of the two people’s words? She is also a little clever girl, but it is precisely because of this that she is so angry. In the eyes of these people, she is just a piece of cake after all. A nice gift?
"I have a master. My master's name is Yuan Zhenxing!"
"Yuan Zhenxing?"
The sword master rubbed his chin and said:
"It sounds a bit familiar."
"My master is the second sword of the Qian Kingdom!"
"Oh, him."
The Juggernaut thought about it, with a look of regret on his face.
Since there is a master, it will be difficult. Although the master is looked down upon by the sword master.
The blind man said after finishing his blow at this time:
"Yuan Zhenxing is dead."
"Okay."
The sword master is very Satisfied,
The master is dead,
It is an ownerless thing.
The little sword boy held the wooden sword tightly in her hands. She did not resist or refuse anymore, but said:
"I can worship you as my teacher, but you..."
A smile appeared on the blind man's lips.
However, what the little sword boy said next made the blind man a little surprised.
"But you have to stay in this city!"
The sword master opened his mouth slightly,
hehehe twice,
< p>He said to the blind man standing next to him:"If you hadn't been with me all the way, otherwise I wouldn't haveI think you have made arrangements a long time ago. It seems that this place in Shengle really has the atmosphere of a place with outstanding people. Even the gifts will help the original owner speak for itself. ”
“Make Master Sword Master laugh. "
"Hahaha. "
The sword master laughed, stretched out his hand to rub the little sword boy's head, and said:
"Listen, you don't have to learn the second sword in the country in the future. If you have a sword, follow me and learn the best sword in the world. ”
The little sword boy took a deep breath,
dropped the wooden sword in his hand,
knelt down in front of the sword master,
< p>Tao:"Disciple meets the second master! "
"Huh? Why is it only the second master? ”
“Yuan Zhenxing is my master. ”
“But he is already dead. ”
“But he taught me, led me, and raised me. "
"Haha, you want me to sit under Yuan Zhenxing? "
"Yes. "
"Do you think I would be willing? ”
“This is the bottom line for disciples. "
"Then do you know my bottom line? I didn’t pay much attention to the Baili Sword from Qian Kingdom. ”
“But please fulfill it. "
"If I don't succeed, will you stop learning the sword from me? "
"Yes. "
"If Yuan Zhenxing knew that you were so stubborn and missed this opportunity, what do you think he would think? "
"If my master knew that he could sit on the head of the Master Sword Master, he might laugh out of his coffin. "
"Cough..."
The sword master coughed,
"Tomorrow, come to my place and I will give you some advice. ”
“Thank you so much, Second Master, thank you so much, Master. "
"Why thank you twice? ”
“Replying to the master, the first message is to confirm that you are the second master, but from now on I will call you the master. Since I want to learn your skills from the master, I can’t be the same as the two masters before and the second master every day.” you. ”
“Generally, people who practice swordsmanship are a bit withdrawn in temperament. The guy from Baili Jian is like this, Li Liangsheng is like this, the guy from Chu State is even more like this, and even I have some of them.
You little monster has a mouth that can talk. "
"Thank you Master for the compliment. ”
“Okay, okay, it’s settled. "
The blind man stepped forward and said, "Then I will arrange a ceremony for accepting disciples and becoming masters tomorrow?" "
The sword master looked at the blind man curiously and asked:
"Are you very free? "
This has already arrived in Shengle City. In the opinion of the sword master, the blind man should have too many things to be busy with.
"I'm busy, isn't it the biggest thing in front of me? What? ”
“Haha, there is no need for a ceremony to become a master. He has had a master, and I am a man who has subjugated his country. What’s the point of holding a ceremony? It just makes people laugh. ”
"It's other people's business to make other people laugh. We just live our own lives, not for others. Come and let us have fun. No matter what, we should all show some kindness as landlords."
" It’s inappropriate, it’s inappropriate. No matter how much benefit you receive from others, you have to pay it back to others in the end. I don’t accept your benefits. I am only responsible for waiting here and waiting for the savage to come.”
"Then we have to arrange an official position for you. The official position represents a salary, and you can keep it secret. It's just because everything in Shengle City is rationing food and supplies in a war situation, so..."
"Don't think that I don't know what you, a blind man, are thinking about in your head."
"You are wise, so naturally I can't hide anything from you."
"It doesn't matter, you want me to I can be your official. This is the east gate. As long as you can find Long Yuan for me, what's the point of me being a guard of your east gate?"
