Chapter 289 City Guards
Fan Li put his hands on his hips,
sitting a 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 beneath him, and the tenderness in his eyes.
This tenderness 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 understand, including many people in the city, why is this city in such a rush?
Although the life of a savage slave is not valuable, it can still be sold for money. Even if it is thrown away in a workshop, it can still be used.
Even if the savages were compared to animals, they would not ruin 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 Cheng Kingdom collapses, then Shengle City is close to the Tianduan Mountains and is located in the easternmost area ruled by the Yan Kingdom. It 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 tyrannical cavalry, but... under the rule of Shengle City, the real Yan people are just It's 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, just to stabilize the people's hearts and restrain the nearby Jin Dynasty. The role of local tyrants 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. My family knows their own affairs, and their Wubao stockade can easily block bandits and bandits, but if the savages The army is coming, and there is simply not enough to see.
At the same time, unlike when the Wen Ren family and the Helian family went to war with the Yan State, at that time, the Lord of Wubao and the local tycoons were quite indifferent as if they were the grass in the city. In fact, they were really Not so panicked.
It was nothing more than the change of the king's flag at the top of the city and the change of the court. But locally, they still had the final say. 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 only specifically targeted the people. It was heard that people from the Helian family and the Helian family committed genocide to vent their anger at the two families for sending troops to attack them without permission.
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";
Qie Cong Chengguo The news from over there 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 Hao Qiang, and make promises that should be made. , what should be beaten;
In front of Siniang, these powerful men and fort masters were like mommies who used to have a bunch of ladies under their control. They were kneaded and divided by Siniang back and forth, and everything was 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 all require Liang Cheng To be responsible for co-ordination, he was unable to do anything at all.
But the blind man who could have helped him share the work has not come back 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. Siniang could only bear all the work of her own.
Fortunately, the Lord is not at home either, so I can survive without the burden of daily sewing work.
The moonlight is 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 is far behind compared with those real big cities in the world. How about you have some achievements, and wait until you build a comparable city in the future. Can you go and have fun in a city like 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 angry 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.
During the process of practicing swordsmanship, she was once beaten by Fan Li, but her mentality was good enough, and her enthusiasm and subjective initiative for swordsmanship did not decrease.
Fan Li continued to admire the city wall,
The little sword boys began to practice their swords on their own.
One big and one small, under the cover of the night, a strange harmony was formed.
“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, 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 there was a gift for me in this city, is it this one?" ?”
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 was like some kind of immoral and shameless transaction, filled with a disgusting atmosphere.
“I can actually dance the sword rhyme just by practicing. It’s amazing, it’s amazing. Even when I was selected by the master when I was a child, I probably didn’t have the qualifications she has now.”
A born sword embryo,
For a master of swordsmanship,
How could you 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 good thing after all. 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 familiar.”
“My master is the second sword of Qian Kingdom!”
“Oh, him. "
The sword master thought about it, with a look of regret on his face.
Since there is a master, it will be difficult to deal with it. 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 Juggernaut opened his mouth slightly,
hehehe twice,
to the other side The blind man beside him said:
"If you hadn't been with me all the way, I would have thought you had made arrangements long 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."
“It made Lord Sword Master laugh.”
< br>"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 anything about qianguo in the future. The second sword is out, 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 to the sword master,
said:
" Disciple meets the second master!”
"Huh? Why is it only the second master?"
"Yuan Zhenxing is my master."
"But he is dead."
"But he taught I have taken care of me and raised me.”
“Haha, you want me to sit under Yuan Zhenxing?”
"Yes."
"Do you think I will be willing?"
"This is the disciple's bottom line."
"Then do you know my bottom line? Qian Guo I don’t think much of that Baili Sword.”
“But please do it.”
"If I don't succeed, will you stop learning swordsmanship from me?"
"Yes."
"If Yuan Zhenxing knew that you were so stubborn and missed this opportunity, you think he will What do you think?"
"If my master knew that he could sit on the head of the Master Sword Master, he might laugh out of his coffin."
"Ahem..."< br>
The sword master coughed and said
“Tomorrow, come to my place and I will give you some advice.”
“Thank you, second master, thank you so much, master.”
“How can I thank you two? Sound?”
"Replying to Master, the first message is to confirm that you are the Second Master, but from now on I will always call you Master. Since I want to learn from you, Master, I can't always respond to you like the two masters before and after you."< br>
"Generally, people who practice swordsmanship tend to be a little withdrawn. The guy from Baili Jian is like this, Li Liangsheng is like this, and the guy from Chu is even more like this. Even I have some of them.
But you, a little weirdo, have a long temper. A talking mouth.”
"Thank you for the compliment, Master."
"Okay, okay, it's settled."
The blind man stepped forward and said, "Then I will arrange the collection tomorrow Apprenticeship ceremony?”
The sword master looked at the blind man curiously and asked:
"Are you very free?"
We have arrived in Shengle City. In the sword master's opinion, the blind man should have too many things to do. Need to get busy.
“I’m busy, isn’t it the biggest thing in front of me?”
“Haha, there is no need for the apprenticeship ceremony. He has had a master, and I am a man who has subjugated his country. What’s the point of having a grand ceremony? It’s just making people laugh.”
"Other people's jokes are other people's business. We just live our own lives, not for others. Come and have fun with us. No matter what, we should all show some kindness as landlords."
"Inappropriate, no. It’s okay, no matter how much you benefit from others, you must pay it back to others in the end. I don’t benefit from you. I am only responsible for waiting here and waiting for the savages 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 I don’t think I know what you, a blind man, are thinking about.”
“You are wise, so I can’t hide anything from you.”
"It doesn't matter, you want me to be your official. That's fine. 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?" ( End of chapter)
