Andre is telling the truth, it has always been Massena who has served as Cosimo's teacher during this period of time, Cosimo has a flexible brain and is also very talented in military affairs, Andre is only a fierce general and not a handsome talent, if he serves as Cosimo's teacher, it is estimated that his growth will be delayed.

Ernst couldn't help but nod when he heard this, he also very much agreed that Cosimobai was under Massena's door, even if the current Massena had not fully grown up, but he was qualified enough to be a teacher.

said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, just when talking about Massena, Massena appeared in front of Ernst, looking at Massena who had been absent for a long time, Ernst couldn't help but smile.

"Are you used to it along the way?"

"It's more comfortable."

Compared with the fugitive life in the past, the current comfort does make Massena a little uncomfortable, but isn't this the life he is looking forward to? Although he was a traitor, Massena was mostly forced to rebel rather than deliberately rebel.

Ernst looked at Cosimo beside Massena, who wanted to salute when he saw Ernst's gaze, but was stopped by Ernst.

"Andre is very optimistic about you, I hope you don't disappoint Andrei."

It was just a simple sentence, and not only André and Massena understood the meaning of Ernst's words, but even Cosimo seemed to understand something. Massena's face was not too ugly, he was a general, what happened today had long been expected by him, if Ernst really believed him unsuspectingly, he would probably be favored by Massena.

"Take a good break, if you need anything, you can ask Bert to arrange it for you, we will be here for a few more months, and it is possible to leave even after Christmas.

Around Christmas, it was probably time for Karl to repay the money, and although Archduke Ferdinand and Duchess Sophie did not say it, Ernst understood that they wanted to be able to stay here until the end of Christmas, and it was only a small expectation, and Ernst could not ignore it.

André didn't have any, and although they wanted to get to Ernst's territory as soon as possible, they wouldn't have a problem with Ernst deciding to leave after Christmas.

Just as Ernst was about to leave, Massena suddenly spoke: "Lord Count, I think there should be some secret visits to your territory now. ”

Ernst stopped, his eyes looked at Massena, he naturally understood what Ernst meant by this, and he was eager to fight for the responsibility of this matter.

Again, Massena was a general, and he was eager to make some achievements, and although the contact was not very long, he understood that Ernst would not allow his men to have useless people.

Massena considers himself a capable domestic politician. Military talent? He also has these, but compared to the domestic policy, Massena still thinks that his domestic ability is stronger. Of course, none of this is known to Ernst, and he is not clear about Massena's intention to go to the territory, but he only roughly guesses that Massena wants to make a meritorious performance.

"It's up to you to take care of this! Bert and Kurt will give you their full support in terms of money and manpower, but I hope you will give me a good answer after Christmas. ”

"I know what to do, Lord Earl."

Instead of returning to the palace, Ernst left the house where André and his family lived, and instead went to the place where Lenner's butler had arranged for Du Haibin, Ernst had arrived for the simple purpose of learning the art of swordsmanship.

When I saw Du Haibin again, Du Haibin's attitude towards Ernst was slightly different, he was a strict person, if he was just Ernst's servant at the beginning, then now he is half of Ernst's master, and Du Haibin, who is half a master, will naturally not use his previous attitude.

"Good knives!"

When Ernst entered the door, the first thing Du Haibin saw was not Ernst but the knife in his hand.

Without hesitation, he threw the Tang knife in his hand, and the cold light that flashed made Ernst's neck couldn't help but shrink, and then his eyes narrowed to see Du Haibin with an excited look on his face.

"I'm not too proficient in knife techniques, Bamen Golden Lock Knife, Bagua Knife, Sun and Moon Qiankun Knife, Shaolin Double Knife Eighteen Rolls, Tai Chi Knife, Plum Blossom Knife, these will be some, but these are not too suitable for short knives!"

Du Haibin frowned slightly, indicating that he felt that this matter was not very easy to handle, which was normal, after all, the short knife was not too suitable for the battlefield, and Du Haibin was half-born in the army, and he was more familiar with the routine of opening and closing, such a short knife......

Just when Ernst was about to say something, Du Haibin said again: "But the knife technique is mainly to sweep, split, dial, cut, sweep, nai, chop, and burst, although the short knife is not suitable for chopping and splitting, but you can have a good foundation with diligent practice, as for the question of the routine, I will help you ask a few of my old friends." ”

This can be regarded as a solution, especially Du Haibin will also point out some basic theories of Qigong to Ernst, but it cannot be said that Leonner's arrangement is in vain.

Du Haibin put aside the matter of the knife technique first, and let Ernst sit cross-legged, now that Ernst is only six years old, the flexibility of his body is also very good because of the teachings of the ascetics, and such a thing as cross-legged is not difficult for Ernst.

Although simple breathing methods are very common, some internal know-how, if you don't have a master to lead you into the door, it is estimated that it will take a year or two to explore on your own.

Exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale!

Along with the rhythm given by Du Haibin, Ernst's lower abdomen also drummed one after another, and there was no internal vision, no true qi flowing, that is, the human body seemed to be spinning, a very mysterious feeling.

After a while, Ernst was detached from that state, and his body did not change, but he seemed to be very satisfied with Du Haibin's appearance.

"This breathing method is not very useful, especially on the surface there is no difference at all, but it is subconsciously strengthening your internal organs, I also have a set of punches here, and if you practice it every day, it will have a certain effect on your strength and ability to resist blows."

Flying cornices and walking on the wall are not something of legend, in Du Haibin's words, even if he has no talent for more than ten years, he can kill with one punch and jump on a wall of nearly two meters.

Of course, you may say that this is a cornice walking wall, but compared to ordinary people, it is not impossible that you can indeed go up to the eaves out of thin air and run a few steps diagonally on the wall.

He returned to the palace with a set of breathing techniques and a set of boxing techniques to strengthen the body, and as soon as Ernst left Du Haibin, he began to write letters, and he needed to ask for help from his brothers and grandmaster friends in some sword routines, such as Huang Feihong and Sun Lutang......
