Chapter 28: Let my daughter stay with you for a few days
In the afternoon, when Shaolan was humming a minor tune to perfect the "Hades System", there was a knock on the door.
"Come in. ”
Changed into a Faya women's dress, and Bai Mi, who still didn't have the slightest noble girl's style, walked in.
"Little master, the loyal old man is here. ”
Zhong's old name is Xu Zhong, he is the friend of life and death of his father Xu Hao, and he is the old man who crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain with Xu Hao.
is also Xu Hao's big housekeeper now.
Even if Shaolan and the others saw it, they had to respectfully call Uncle Zhong, and the other servants would respectfully call them Zhonglao.
It can be said that Xu Zhong is a pivotal figure in the Xu family.
And now, such a character has suddenly come to his own territory.
At that moment, Shaolan immediately got up and went out to greet him.
Xu Zhong was still very good to his predecessor when he was a child, and his warm memories are still fresh.
Xu Zhong wore a piece of chain mail, led eight soldiers, and escorted four carriages.
Gray-haired, but tall and resolute.
"Uncle Zhong, please come in. ”
Seeing Shaolan, Xu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief: "I haven't seen you for a while, I'm most worried about you, so I was the first to come to you first."
But looking at your complexion, I'm relieved. ”
patted Shaolan on the shoulder, and Xu Zhong's eyes were filled with relief.
"Uncle Zhong, don't worry, I will definitely be able to take care of the Xuanguo saplings and manage the territory well. ”
"It's not that simple, let's go inside. ”
Shaolan took Xu Zhong into the courtyard.
Shirami beckoned the gladiators to carry the four wagons into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Xu Zhong was attracted by the four small thatched huts at the edge of the courtyard.
Underneath these small thatched huts is a basement entrance.
"What is this?" Xu Zhong frowned.
"Uncle Zhong, these are basements. ”
"What are you doing building a basement in your yard?"
Could it be that Shaolan is starting to make trouble again?
From childhood to adulthood, Xu Zhong was most worried about Shaolan.
Some are cowardly, some are stupid.
"Uncle Zhong, I think that the leaders gather in the courtyard every night, and it is easy for them to live,
So I had people build basements so that they wouldn't be able to get sick on rainy days or in winter. ”
patted Shaolan on the shoulder, Xu Zhong did not comment on the matter.
Four little masters, the reason why he likes Shaolan the most is because of Shaolan's kindness.
It's just that kindness can sometimes hurt oneself.
However, this is not the place to talk about things, the two entered Xu Xi's room, and Xu Zhong cautiously closed the door.
Then Xu Zhong looked serious and lowered his voice: "Have you seen a team of people wearing black armor recently?"
The abrupt question startled Shaolan, could it be that he had happened?
"No, what's wrong?"
Xu Zhong said with great solemnity: "Remember, they are from the Zhongqing Sima family, and they are here to buy Xuanguo saplings."
It is simply hateful to take it by force, but our Xu family can't afford to provoke them, if the little master encounters it, he must deal with it carefully.
But in any case, Xuanguo saplings should never be sold to them. ”
"Yes, I remember. ”
Obedient as always.
Xu Zhong nodded with satisfaction.
"What are they buying Xuanguo saplings for?"
"I don't know the specific situation, the master explained, you can't sell Xuanguo saplings,
Otherwise, the house rules are disposed of. ”
"In addition, I came this time to bring the materials that the master has provided for you.
A cart full of clothes, weapons, food, and other supplies. ”
"My father has supported us with so much supplies, and he ...... there. ”
Xu Zhong interrupted Shaolan's words: "Master, if you need to worry, just take care of yourself." ”
After chatting about business, Shaolan was also normal, and Xu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Show me your territory. ”
"Okay, Uncle Zhong will come with me. ”
Shaolan's territory is so big that you can see it all when you stand at the door.
Xu Zhong shook his head: "It's been so long, and your territory hasn't strengthened its defenses, which is not good." ”
At that moment, Xu Zhong took Shaolan around the wall and taught Shaolan to arrange defense matters.
I am very concerned about Shaolan's safety.
As he walked, Xu Zhong suddenly discovered the situation.
Pointing to the ditch dug dozens of meters away, he asked, "What are you digging a ditch for?"
Without waiting for Xu Xi to answer, Xu Zhong criticized with a serious face: "Your territory is so small,
Are you trying to dig a moat? There's no objection to that, it's a lot of work, and there's no strong fortress to stop it.
The dark creature jumped over as soon as it jumped. ”
Shaolan sneered: "It's not a moat, I'm going to build a city wall and enclose this land as a residence." ”
"What?" Xu Zhong suspected that he had misheard.
The area encircled by the project was estimated, and it was about 10,000 square meters.
Such a huge area is actually only used as a residence?
You must know that Xu Hao's castle is only about 20,000 square meters, and more than 2,000 people live.
How many people does Shaolan have?
"Nonsense!" Xu Zhong blew his beard and glared at Shaolan.
"Do you know how many people are needed for such a large project, how long it will take, and how many building materials will be needed?"
"I'll figure it out. ”
"Figured out, tell me what you have to do?"
Xu Zhong looked like he hated iron but not steel.
"Uncle Zhong, you come with me and give you a surprise. ”
At that moment, Shaolan brought Xu Zhong to his Xuanguo sapling.
"This is ......" Xu Zhong was shocked inexplicably.
"That's right, it's the real leaf, I own the real leaf world. "Shaolan inherited the feelings of his predecessor for Uncle Zhong,
Like a child who invites pets and shows off to adults: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, there will be no problems in my territory." ”
"Hahaha!" Xu Zhong laughed: "Okay, I knew I didn't mistake you, I didn't expect you to have a real leaf so soon."
I will report this matter to the master to get more cultivation resources for you. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhong. ”
Shaolan looked down from above, and then from bottom to top, and nodded with satisfaction, Xu Zhong sighed.
Knowing that Shaolan had something to rely on, Xu Zhong was no longer worried.
"Since you left, you have left Xuan'er alone in the territory, which is very boring.
pestering me to come to see you every day, and then continue to stuff her at home, I'm afraid it will suffocate her.
After a while, I'll send her to you to play for a few days, so that my ears won't be clean.
What do you think?"
Xuan'er is Xu Xuan, the daughter of Xu Zhong.
It is said that Xu Hao intends to let his successor marry Xu Xuan as his wife.
Therefore, Shaolan's three elder brothers used to be very flattering to Xu Xuan.
Now that Xu Zhong has said this, his intention is too obvious.
"Okay! I miss Xu Xuan too. ”
Xu Zhong nodded his head, very happy.
After hastily eating lunch, Xu Zhong continued to set off with the other three or two carriages.
Originally, the only thing that supported Shaolan's four brothers and sisters was supplies, not carriages.
But Xu Zhong still left the carriage for Shaolan.
Shaolan wanted to stay with Xu Zhong overnight and set off again the next day, but Xu Zhong didn't dare to delay.
He wants to deliver the supplies to every little master as soon as possible,
The most important thing is to bring Xu Hao's words to them.
Therefore, Shaolan did not keep much.
