Before dawn, Shen Leng had already gotten up, fetched well water to wash and then went to the morning market in a nearby village to buy vegetables and meat, and took over the financial power from the first day he came, both Mr. Shen and Shen Chayan were very satisfied, after all, one was lazy and the other didn't know how to manage money.

After returning to the Taoist courtyard, I started cooking, fried eggs, fried shredded pork, and then cooked noodles, and it didn't take long for the fragrance to waft out of the kitchen.

Mr. Shen stretched out and went out, habitually watering the pine tree at the kitchen door, this pine tree is his greatest nostalgia for this place, after all, it was planted by his own hands back then.

Shen Chayan wore loose clothes, and walked into the kitchen with her hair scattered casually: "Stupid, what do you eat in the morning?" ”

Shen Leng nodded towards the noodles that had already been cooked: "Noodles"

"Oh."

Shen Chayan didn't seem to be interested, but she knew that Shen Leng knew that she loved noodles and made them, but of course she wouldn't show anything, and when she turned around, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and the girl smiled brightly.

"Senior sister, I want to ask you something."

"Don't call me Senior Sister."

"What's that called?"

"Called...... Forget it, what do you like to call it? ”

"Oh, tea master, I want to ask you something."

Shen Chayan's eyes lit up: "This name is good, let's talk about it, what's the matter." ”

"What's the name of the gentleman?"

"His name? Hehe...... Hey...... Hahahaha......"

Shen Leng didn't understand why Shen Chayan was laughing, Shen Chayan had laughed enough and turned around and left: "You ask Mr. yourself." ”

Mr. Shen naturally heard it clearly outside the door, coughed twice and said, "Behind the scenes, no matter whether people are right or wrong, it is a gentleman's doing." ”

Shen Chayan: "I know Mr. Komatsu." ”

Shen Leng was stunned: "Mr. Komatsu? Shen Xiaosong? ”

He looked at the pine tree and said to himself, "No wonder."

Shen Chayan, who was still smirking, suddenly thought of something, and then his smile gradually solidified...... At that time, the gentleman who was still a teenager planted a pine tree in this Taoist temple, and his name was still Xiao Song, what kind of Taoist style did he yearn for in his heart, but twelve years ago, when he walked out of the Taoist temple with Shen Leng who was still in swaddling clothes, he looked up to the sky and shouted My life is up to the sky, not me, how sad is it?

Therefore, the significance of this pine tree to Mr. is not just that he planted it with his own hands, the green pine wind bones that he once hoped he could have were gone after that night, and the wind bones were gone, only the green pines remained.

Shen Chayan stood there for a while, then went to fetch water and watered the tree, and after watering, she returned to her room and took out her soft pillow, walked to Shen Leng's side and measured the height, and then bent down to test the height of the dive, and then tied the pillow to the small tree under the bewildered gaze of Mr. Shen and Shen Leng, and then she grabbed Shen Leng and pushed it at the door, Shen Leng stumbled on the pine tree, which happened to be the position where the pillow was tied, Shen Chayan squinted his eyes and laughed, beautiful.

Shen Leng's face was confused.

"You've cut the threshold."

"What do you care?"

The tea master, who was in a very happy mood, went back to the house with his hands behind his back, thinking that he was a hard worker, Mr. was a hard worker, and that idiot was also a hard worker.

Shen Leng thought that the tea master was just a whim, and the matter of tying a pillow to the tree was just her temporary idea, but what she didn't expect was that in the next three years, the tea master would carry Shen Leng every once in a while and bump the pillow on the small tree, changing the position of the pillow according to Shen Leng's height, and because she was worried that the tied rope would affect the development of the small tree, she had to loosen the rope and re-tie it from time to time.

Shen Lengxin said that the tea master is really a caring person, although he has not taken the initiative to hit the tree again in the past three years......

Three years passed in a flash, Shen Leng's life was compact and full and a little cruel, in the past three years, Mr. Shen and Shen Chayan desperately stuffed things into Shen Leng's pocket, stuffing them until they vomited.

It was another sunset, and the three of them had dinner under the pine tree, simple but exquisite, and Shen Leng's cooking skills had also improved a lot in the past three years.

"Tomorrow you two will go out."

Mr. Shen looks a little more vicissitudes, it has only been three years, and he has a lot of gray hair and a lot of wrinkles than the Mr. Shen that Shen Leng was familiar with before, I thought that his wordless art of war was almost finished three years ago, but who would have thought that the rewriting and writing were still not completed for three years.

"What are you going out for?"

Shen Chayan asked while picking up vegetables.

"Breaking the Killing Ring."

Mr. Shen's answer was very bland, but Shen Leng and Shen Chayan could hear it, and his voice trembled slightly when he said these three words, no matter what, there must have been a lot of pressure when he said the three words of breaking the killing ring to the two fifteen-year-old children, even more than the two of them.

"In the past three years, the sailors built by the Daning Imperial Court in the Jiangnan Weaving Mansion have begun to take shape, and the large number of water bandits on the Nanping River have basically been suppressed, but the sailors of the Weaving Mansion are all big ships that can't enter the narrow waterway, and the water bandits are just beaten not as rampant as before, and the number is still quite a lot."

"The two of you will go out tomorrow, from here there is a fork in the Nanping River for more than thirty miles, and after entering, there is a reed swing for about twelve miles, where there is a group of water bandits, and there is some relationship with Shen Leng...... Back then, Boss Meng was also Baili Tu's subordinate, the second boss didn't die, and he pulled a group of people to continue to do evil, there were about seventy or eighty people, and it was time for the two of you to test your strength. ”

Mr. Shen tried his best to be plain because he didn't want the two children to be too nervous, but he was nervous himself.

"Okay."

Shen Chayan only said one word, and then continued to bow his head to eat.

Shen Leng put down the dishes and chopsticks and went back to his room, took out the scabbard of the small hunting knife hidden in the closet and wiped it carefully, Shen Chayan frowned slightly: "You plan to use this as a weapon tomorrow?" ”

Shen Leng nodded and replied seriously: "Yes." ”

Although there is only one word, it is extraordinarily determined.

Shen Chayan put the rice bowl on the table with a snap, which startled Mr. Shen.

"You have practiced hard for three years, you have learned all the eighteen weapons, melee swords, hooks, forks, long-range battles, hard bows, and crossbows are good, do you prefer to use a scabbard?"

Shen Leng raised the scabbard in the direction of the setting sun: "Because I like it." ”

He didn't say what was going on in his mind...... I don't know how Meng Changan has been in the past three years, he entered the Yanta Academy at the age of six to study and practice martial arts, and now it has been nine years, he started studying six years earlier than himself, and he should be far more powerful than himself...... That little hunting knife should be safe in his hand?

Sixteen years old is the lower age limit for Daning conscription, if nothing else, sixteen-year-old Meng Changan is about to enter the army, this year is his last year in Yanta Academy, with his kind of temperament, he should be the best everywhere.

Although Shen Chayan was unhappy, he still finished the last bite of rice in the bowl, there was not a grain of rice left, put down the rice bowl and sat up straight and asked Mr. Shen seriously: "At the beginning, you didn't let you mention Siku Wufu, but now you have to mention that Silly Lengzi is not from a military family and can't directly enter the soldiers, he can join the army next year, what does Mr. plan to do?" ”

"Why didn't we leave Nanpingjiang?"

Mr. Shen asked rhetorically.

"I don't know."

"I don't know."

Mr. Shen smiled and said: "Although it is said that every year there will be a captain from all over the country to select talents to be trained, but the priority is still the children from military families, and a person of unknown origin like Shen Leng will be screened out even if he is selected by the captain of the Siku Martial Mansion." ”

"Don't talk about the soldiers of the four frontiers of Daning, let's just say that the soldiers stationed in the provinces and prefectures, and non-military households can't enter, this is the rule set by the founding emperor of Daning, and no one dares to break it easily, so that's why we stay in Nanpingjiang and don't leave, because the sailors don't have such restrictions."

"When the sailor was first established, His Majesty meant to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern, and the people who were drawn from all over the country to train for three years were far less watery than the local fishermen, so the main force of the sailor division was the Minyong recruited from the upper and lower reaches of the Nanping River in the past three years.

Shen Chayan frowned slightly: "Mr. wants to let Silly Lengzi enter the water division?" What is the future of the sailor! To expand the territory and make contributions, we still have to go to the division of tigers and wolves in the four frontiers, and the water division is just to suppress the water bandits on the Nanping River. ”

"Xiaocha, you underestimated Your Majesty's ambition...... Do you really think that His Majesty created the Water Division just for the sake of those water bandits? If it's really just for the bandits, why are the river patrol warships built so huge? That's going to sea...... Land martial arts, the previous Daning emperors have achieved the extreme, and the ocean conquest is the grand plan of His Majesty today. ”

Mr. Shen continued: "Not to mention the farther places, the country beyond the southern Xinjiang sea is said to be just a small land, with a population of less than 10 million, but it relies on the strong sailors to constantly invade the Daning Sea Frontier, and the Daning Sea Frontier has no decent warships, and even the fishermen can't protect it. ”

Mr. Shen looked at Shen Leng: "Of course, the water master is just the path I chose for you, you can also choose it yourself, if you insist on going to the land of the four frontiers, I will also try my best to help you arrange it." ”

Shen Chayan said: "I still think it's better to go to the division of tigers and wolves in the four frontiers, and the sailors are going to the ocean?" It's not realistic. ”

Shen Leng sat there without speaking, pondering for a while before suddenly laughing: "The tigers and wolves of the four frontiers on the Daning land are almost invincible, it is really not interesting, if you can bring a sailor to make the four seas surrender, it will be awesome." ”

Shen Chayan snapped and knocked on Shen Leng's head: "Where did you learn this kind of foul language." ”

Shen Leng rubbed his head and smirked: "I don't think it's rude words, if you enter the army, you will be disliked." ”

Mr. Shen got up and went back to the room, and then took out the art of war that he had written for many years and handed it to Shen Leng: "Land warfare, water warfare, everything I can think of is written in this, you will mainly study these things from today, and after a year, you will enter the Nanping River Water Division." ”

Shen Leng took it and looked at the art of war, there was not a single word in it, but the four words on the cover were very clear.

"Forbidden the Art of War?"

He looked at Mr. Shen: "Why are the two words forbidden?" ”

"Fighting with the army and forbidding it is to let the enemy be passive everywhere and be restrained everywhere, absolutely, so that the enemy cannot see hope, and there is a dead end everywhere."

Mr. Shen said proudly: "There are countless famous generals in this world, but who can really do the word forbidden?" ”

......
