Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Defender

Fan Li crossed his waist,

On his shoulders sat the little sword boy,

Under the moonlight,

Stood for a long time.

The little sword boy lowered his head from time to time, looking at the big fool under him, and looked at the tenderness in his eyes.

This gentleness is for this wall.

The walls of Shengle City were finally completed, and hundreds of savage slaves were exhausted to death in order to meet the construction deadline.

Many people will not understand, including many people in the city, why this city is in such a hurry?

Although the life of a savage slave is not expensive, it can be sold for money, even if it is thrown to the workshop, it can continue to be used.

Even if we compare savages to animals, there is no such waste of animals.

But recently, with the news coming from Chengguo's side one after another, the previous slander slowly disappeared.

The newly established Dacheng Kingdom, in less than a year, seems to be about to collapse, once the Chengguo collapses, then Shengle City, which is close to the Tianduan Mountain Range and is located in the easternmost part of the Yan Kingdom's notification area, will definitely be the first target of the savages.

A city, a strong city, can play a role, absolutely not to be underestimated, even if the Yan people are famous for their iron cavalry to dominate the world, but ......... Under the rule of Shengle City, the real Yan people are only a small part.

Moreover, there is a city behind him, whether it is the transfer of grain and grass materials or the strategic initiative of the army to rest and recuperate, it can be regarded as really pinched in his own hands, and he said that he took 10,000 steps back and said, just to stabilize people's hearts and restrain the role of the nearby Jin land, it cannot be ignored.

There have been many nearby Haoqiang Dock Fort owners who have recently taken the initiative to send their female dependents to Shengle City to settle down, and their own family members know their own family affairs, and their Dock Fort Zhai, blocking a bandit is not a problem, but if the savage army comes, it is not enough to see at all.

At the same time, unlike when the Wenren family, the Helian family and the Yan Kingdom were at war before, at that time, the lord of Wubao and the local heroes still had a kind of indifference when they were the head of the city, but they were really not so flustered in their hearts.

It's nothing more than the city changing the banner of the king and changing the court, but locally, they still have the final say, they don't believe that the Yan people will raise the butcher's knife, and the Yan people really didn't raise the butcher's knife, but just exterminated the people of the Wen family and the Helian family to vent the anger of the two fans to attack themselves.

But this time it's different, what will the wildlings do to them once they come?

If the Yan and Jin people are a confrontation between countries, a duel between two political forces, then with the wild people, it is a fight between different races.

Especially in the area of Shengle City, for more than a hundred years, the savage slave trade has really been done by everyone, who has not been stained with the blood debt of savages?

It is precisely because I know in my heart how I treat others, so I have no illusions that others will "treat" me;

And the news from Chengguo also verifies this, the brutality and ferocity of the savages are indeed extremely terrifying.

Therefore, no matter how the Savage Rebellion will affect the political aspects of the Yan Kingdom, at least for Shengle City, it has played a positive role in dismantling internal contradictions and strengthening local control.

Siniang only sleeps two hours a day now, and is busy reviewing and processing various provisions every day, and at the same time has to come forward to meet with the visiting dock lord and Haoqiang, the promise that should be made, and the knock that should be beaten;

In front of Siniang, these heroes and dock castle owners are like mothers who used to have a group of young ladies under their hands, and they were kneaded and divided back and forth by Siniang, and everything was quite orderly.

Liang Cheng is only responsible for training, and because a large number of local disciples in Wubao have either come by themselves or been sent by the elders of the family in order to defend their homes recently, Shengle City has absorbed a lot of recruits here, all of which need Liang Cheng to be responsible for the coordination, and he is also lacking in skills.

And 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 be responsible for keeping an eye on the building of ordnance, and the other was responsible for building the city, and they also had their own work, and Siniang could only carry everything alone.

Fortunately, the Lord is not at home, and he can survive without the burden of daily needlework.

The moonlight is soft,

Fan Li stretched out his hand and stroked the bricks of the city wall, like an artist admiring the work he had just completed.

"Hey, big fool, I said, this city is good, but it's far worse than those real big cities in the world, are you a little promising, and when you build a kind of city that can compare to the capital, will you go and have fun?"

Xiao Jiantong was pointing at Fan Li with a posture that had seen the world.

To a certain extent, Xiao Jiantong once accompanied Yuan Zhenxing to the north and south, although he suffered a lot, he did go to many places.

Fan Li shook his head and didn't speak.

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 respond silently.

Of course, there are exceptions, sometimes Fan Li will suddenly burst out with a sentence, but that sentence will definitely make you half angry.

The little sword boy patted Fan Li's head, slid down from his broad shoulders, pulled out his small wooden sword, and began to practice swords.

On the way to sword practice, she was hit by Fan Li, but her mentality was good enough, and her enthusiasm and subjective initiative for sword training did not decline.

Fan Li continued to admire the city wall,

The little sword boy began to practice swords by himself,

One large and one small, under the cover of this night, formed a strange harmony.

"Huh?"

A light suspicion came.

Fan Li turned his head, walked in front of the little sword boy, and looked ahead.

In front, a middle-aged man walked out, the man ignored Fan Li's big man, and kept staring at the little sword boy.

"Come on, dance two more dances for my uncle."

"Don't freak out kids."

The voice of the blind man came from behind.

Fan Li took two steps back, and since he was the one brought back by the blind man, he let down his guard.

The little sword boy looked at the Sword Saint with some curiosity, and the Sword Saint also looked at her with the same curiosity, and at the same time said to the blind man:

"You said there was a gift for me in this city, isn't this one?"

The little sword boy glared at the blind man angrily, but the blind man was automatically immune to all gaze threats.

"Do you like it?" The blind man asked.

The Sword Master nodded and said:

"I like it."

The conversation between the two is like some kind of immoral and shameless dealing, and it is filled with a disgusting atmosphere.

"Just practicing a shelf, I can actually dance the sword rhyme, amazing, amazing, even when I was selected by the master when I was a child, I guess I didn't have the qualifications she has now."

born sword embryo,

For a kendo master,

How can you not like it?

What the emperor wants to inherit is the country, what the prince wants to inherit is wealth, and everyone in the rivers and lakes wants to pass on their own mantle.

Why can't Xiao Jiantong hear the meaning of the words of the two, she is also a little clever ghost, but it is precisely because of this that she is angry, in the eyes of these people, she is just a good gift after all?

"I have a master, my master's name is Yuan Zhenxing!"

"Yuan Zhenxing?"

The Sword Master rubbed his chin and said:

"Sounds familiar."

"My master is the second sword of Qianguo!"

"Oh, he."

The Sword Master remembered, and a look of regret appeared on his face.

Since there is a master, it is not easy to do, although that master, the Sword Saint is not to look down on.

The blind man mended the knife at this time:

"Yuan Zhenxing is dead."

"Yes."

Juggernaut is satisfied,

The master is dead,

That's the ownerless.

The little sword boy clutched the wooden sword in her hand, she did not resist and refuse, but said:

"I can worship you as a teacher, but you ........."

A smile appeared at the corner of the blind man's mouth.

However, the next words of the little sword boy surprised the blind man a little.

"But you have to stay in this city!"

The sword master's mouth opened slightly,

Hehe said twice,

To the blind man who stood beside him, he said:

"If it weren't for you being in front of me all the way, otherwise I would have thought you had arranged it a long time ago, it seems that this place of Shengle really has the taste of some outstanding people, and even the gifts will help the original owner speak."

"Let the Swordmaster-sama laugh."

"Hahaha."

The Sword Saint laughed, reached out and rubbed the little sword boy's head, and said:

"Listen, you don't have to learn the sword of the second sword of the Qianguo country in the future, follow me and learn the first sword in the world."

The little sword boy took a deep breath,

Drop the wooden sword in your hand,

knelt down before the Juggernaut,

Road:

"Disciple, see Second Master!"

"Huh? Why is it the second master? ”

"Yuan Zhenxing is my master."

"But he's dead."

"But he taught me, took me, and raised me."

"Hehe, you let me sit under Yuan Zhenxing?"

"Yes."

"You think I'll be willing?"

"This is the bottom line of disciples."

"Do you know my bottom line? I didn't pay much attention to the hundred-mile sword of Qianguo. ”

"But please do it."

"If I don't succeed, won't you learn swords from me?"

"Yes."

"If Yuan Zhenxing knew that you were so stubborn and missed this opportunity, what do you think he would do?"

"If my master knew that he could sit on the head of the Sword Saint, he might have to wake up laughing from the coffin."

"Ahem........."

The sword master coughed,

"Tomorrow, come to me, and I will guide you."

"Thank you, Second Master, thank you, Master."

"How do you thank you twice?"

"Back to the master, the first sound is to confirm that you are the second master, but in the future, I will call you master, since you want to learn your skills, you can't respond to you every day after the second master."

"Generally, people who practice swordsmanship are a little withdrawn, Baili Sword is like that, Li Liangsheng is like this, and Chu Guo is even more so, even me, there are some.

But you little elf has a talking mouth. ”

"Thank you, Master, for the compliment."

"Okay, okay, that's it."

The blind man stepped forward and said, "Then I'll arrange a ceremony for accepting apprentices tomorrow?" ”

Juggernaut looked at the blind man with some curiosity and asked:

"Are you idle?"

This has arrived in Shengle City, and in the eyes of the Sword Master, the blind man should have too many things to do.

"I'm busy, isn't that the biggest thing in front of me?"

"Hehe, there is no need for a ceremony of apprenticeship, he has a master, I am a person who has lost the country, what kind of ceremony does it mean? It just makes people laugh. ”

"Other people's jokes are someone else's business, we just live our own life, not for others, you come to our Shengle, no matter how we should do some landlord friendship."

"It's not proper, it's not proper, how much benefit you receive, in the end, you have to pay it back to others, I don't benefit from you, I'm only responsible for waiting here, waiting for the savages to come."

"Then we have to arrange an official position for you, the official position represents the treatment, and you can not make a public announcement, but because everything in Shengle City is now rationed with food and materials in a war situation, so ........."

"Don't think I don't know what's going on in your blind head."

"You are wise, naturally I can't hide anything from you."

"Okay, if you want me to be your official, it's okay, this is the East Gate, as long as you can get Long Yuan back for me, what does it matter if I am a city guard of your East Gate?"
