In the Juyi Hall, Ye Zheng and the leaders of the mountain bandits carefully discussed the measures to deal with the enemy, and then prepared to disperse.

Before the meeting ended, Ye Zheng also attached great importance to issuing several orders, asking them to do a good job in the prevention of the Black Dragon Valley from now on, and at the same time to strengthen the investigation of patrolling the mountains and horses, expand the scope of the investigation as much as possible, and be sure not to miss any detail. In addition, he particularly emphasized that those eyes and ears planted in Linjiang towns must pay close attention to the movements of the government, and if there is anything unusual found, the information must be transmitted in time.

After the meeting, the leaders of the mountain bandits in Qunyingzhai walked out of the Juyi Hall one after another, and hurriedly prepared to go back to strictly arrange precautions according to the requirements of the alliance leader Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng was the last to walk out of the Juyi Hall, and at this time, after he and Liu Chengfeng, Xiahou Zhai and other leaders saluted and dispersed, they were ready to go back to their residence.

On the way back, Niu Tiezhu and Niu Sanyan were by his side, one left and one right, but in order to show their respect for Ye Zheng, the two of them always had to lag behind half a step behind.

At this time, Ye Zheng glanced back at Niu Tiezhu and asked lightly, "How are the five hundred and forty brothers in the Fire God Hall training now?"

Niu Tiezhu listened, and replied in a respectful tone: "Alliance leader, the subordinates have carried out targeted training for them in strict accordance with the orders of the alliance leader during this time, and at this time, the members of each branch hall have also made great progress in the operation and cognition of various firearms, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they can meet the requirements of the alliance leader." ”

Ye Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, that's good, that's good! Are the ammunition I gave you last time enough for training?"

Niu Tiezhu smiled awkwardly and said, "This ...... Now, alliance leader, I'm trying to find you today because of this? Look at the time, give me some more ammunition, you don't know, those guys don't know how excited and fanatical they are in the process of training, and they don't want to let go of their firearms one by one. ”

Ye Zheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, and said, "I can give you another batch of ammunition, but this time I really want to save a little bit of it, hey...... It won't be long before the imperial court will send a large army to attack us, and we must leave some ammunition to deal with those officers and soldiers, otherwise, if the training runs out, if the officers and soldiers come to the door, why should we fight them?"

"Yes, yes, what the alliance leader said makes sense, and his subordinates know it. Hearing this, Niu Tiezhu nodded again and again.

At this time, Ye Zheng turned his head to look at Niu Sanyan again, and asked, "Brother Sanyan, how are the snipers under your command trained?" In fact, this time, Ye Zheng also specially handed over the sniper rifle branch to Niu Sanyan to take out for individual training, so he asked.

Niu Sanyan smiled when he heard this, and said: "Alliance leader, you can rest assured that I will do things, those twenty snipers, after being trained by my own special training method during this time, all of them have improved by leaps and bounds, as long as you want, you can arrange tasks for us at any time." ”

Ye Zheng laughed and said: "Okay, very good! Continue to strengthen training, in the future, your sniper rifle division will be a terrifying nightmare for the enemy!"

Niu Sanyan was praised by Ye Zheng for such a while, and suddenly, he smiled happily, and said modestly: "The alliance leader has won the award, the alliance leader has won the award." ”

After returning to the residence, the two brothers, Niu Tiezhu and Niu Sanyan, saluted and said goodbye to him, and Ye Zheng did not ask them to sit down and have a cup of tea, because he knew that Niu Tiezhu would definitely rush back to supervise the training progress of those members of the Fire God Hall, hoping to reach the standard that satisfied him as soon as possible.

At this time, it was a hot afternoon, the sun in the sky was hot, the roasted Ye Zheng was covered in sweat, his mouth was dry, after returning to the residence, he took a comfortable bath under the service of Lianxin, changed into a set of clean clothes, and hugged her in bed After the clouds and rain, he fell asleep deeply.

By the time he woke up, it was already evening.

At this time, Lianxin was no longer around, so she must have gotten up a long time ago.

Ye Zheng walked on the bed for a while, and then put on a robe and got up.

Pushing open the door of the wing, he smelled the smell of food coming from a distance, and suddenly he felt an appetite lifted.

When he came to the living room, he saw that Lianxin had prepared a few delicate side dishes and a pot of wine. At this time, Lianxin saw that Ye Zheng had already walked out of the wing, and she greeted her with light steps. "Ye Lang, you're awake, the concubine for dinner is ready. ”

Ye Zheng looked at the food on the table, sniffed it gently, and praised: "Lianxin, your cooking skills are superb, I am blessed to have such a considerate beauty like you to take care of me, but it is inevitable that you will work a little hard." ”

Lianxin was praised by him like this, and suddenly, her heart bloomed, her pretty face flushed, and she said: "Taking care of Ye Lang is a matter of concubines, so why do you have to say that it is hard." Ye Lang better hurry up and eat, if it's any later, the food will be cold. ”

Hearing this, Ye Zheng was in a good mood, and immediately smiled under the service of Lianxin, swept away the food like a cloud, and Lianxin saw his wolf-swallowing appearance, and also pursed his lips and smiled coquettishly.

After dinner, Ye Zheng, accompanied by her, went to the courtyard outside the house for a walk, preparing activities to help digestion.

In the huge courtyard, many unknown flowers and bonsai are planted, colorful, very good-looking, Ye Zheng doesn't have to think about it, knowing that these things are all done by Lianxin when he has nothing to do, and secretly said in his heart at the moment, this woman really likes to fiddle with these flowers and plants and other things.

After a turn in the courtyard, he suddenly found that in the middle of the backyard, I don't know when a delicate pavilion was built, and there were several rockeries around the pavilion, especially in the row of places against the courtyard wall, there were actually many more stone carvings.

Look at those stone carvings are fine, lifelike, birds and beasts, but it seems to be relatively old, and it should not be new.

At that moment, he pointed to the pavilion and those stone carvings in the backyard, and asked suspiciously: "Hey, Lianxin, I remember that when I first moved in, there didn't seem to be these things in this backyard, why did these pavilions and stone sculptures suddenly appear?"

Lian Xin listened, and said with a slight smile: "Ye Lang, you have been busy with major events in the village these days, of course you haven't paid attention to some changes in your family. These pavilions were built by Steward Zhang, and those stone carvings were also transported and arranged by him. ”

Hearing this, Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "Who is Steward Zhang?"

Lian Xin said: "It's the manager of Zhang Sihai under the head of Chen Fu!"

As soon as Ye Zheng heard that she was talking about Zhang Sihai, he suddenly realized that this guy was really an ace sycophant, and last time he led himself to the residence of the dead ghost Blue Army in order to pat himself on the back, and he never thought that the sycophant was sent to the horse's hooves. There is no spirit of this guy's sycophancy, but perseverance, this time, while he is no longer at home, he actually built his own residence like a garden, but not to mention, this chapter of the four seas really has some ability to pat on the back, and now his own residence, after he tossed it like this, it really looks like it, and it adds a lot of color. Especially those stone carvings with exquisite carvings are really good for ornamentation.

Thinking of this, he walked to the side of those stone carvings, looked at them carefully, and said, "Lianxin, where did you say they got these stone carvings? Not to mention the exquisite carvings, the key is that these stone carvings look very old, and they don't look like new things anyway." ”

Hearing this, Lian Xin smiled and said: "Ye Lang's question, the concubines also asked them, and they said that these stone carvings were dug out from the ground some time ago, when the house was being built in the valley. ”

Ye Zheng's expression moved, and he said in surprise: "Excavated from the ground, how can there be these things underground?"

Lian Xin tilted her head and thought for a while: "Ye Lang, you may not know, this Black Dragon Valley was once a long time ago, it was actually the capital of a small country, called Dragon City, and there were tens of thousands of residents in the city, and then I don't know what happened, a monstrous flood was launched in the Black Dragon Valley, which flooded the entire city, and none of the residents in the city survived, including their king, but these are also what the concubines heard from the original family members of the Black Dragon Village, whether it is true or not, the concubines are not sure." ”
