287 How can she be so young and lovely?
Although the Chen family is not a noble family promoted by merit, but after standing in the world for so many years, the necessary basic common sense is still possessed, when a city is closed and heavily guarded, it means that there is definitely a large army ready to attack the city. He recalled what Uncle Sixth said: There may be a small group of enemies who will come to harass ...... Then he realized that he had been misled by him.
No wonder Uncle Sixth let go of his power so easily, and no wonder he walked so simply, it turned out to be like this. What kind of virtue did Tachibana stab do in the war, the whole world knows it. Whenever they attacked the city, they would always send a small group of rangers to Xiaofuzi near the enemy's city, burning and killing and plundering in the small town, which could hit the enemy's psychology and morale, and second, to replenish their own military rations.
Chen Guangde now also understands that in Chen Xiansong's territory, those guards and mercenaries are building fortifications like a great enemy, and on his side, he only symbolically got a few rejecting horses...... I don't know if it's too late to go back to work now. Most of the information that the other sixth uncle said and gave was not credible, and he had to reorganize it.
"Get in the car, turn around, and go home." Chen Guangde got into the carriage, and then continued to order Zhang Wu: "Since Chen Zeyi took away his henchmen, but among the people who stayed, there are always some people who know a little bit of information, you go back first, and ask one person clearly, who is the city lord of Black Rock City, who is the president of the Scholars Association, and who is in the hands of the source of the snow salt business, check them one by one, and when I return home, you will tell me the answer." Otherwise, you will be punished. ”
Zhang Wu shuddered, and immediately rode his horse in the direction of the Chen family's territory.
Sitting in the carriage, because of the urgency, the car swayed very badly, if it was in the past, Chen Guangde would definitely scold, but now. His mind was all on the matter at hand...... Later humans inherited the expertise of chimpanzees, and their imagination is very poor, but their memory skills are quite outstanding.
"Big brother, the business of Yanlu was given to our Chen family by my husband. ’
The words of the little sister seemed to sound in his ears again, Chen Guangde took a breath of cold air, if this sentence is true, then. He felt that he had fallen into a trap, a trap woven by the eldest uncle and the sixth uncle, a trap for their fifth room. And now that they have succeeded, they have offended Chen Xiansong. That is, his good brother-in-law, and he was put in danger by them. The armies of other countries may be coming soon. If they escape, the business of Yanlu will be cut off, then their fifth house will have no place in the clan at all in the future, if they don't leave...... Life and death are unpredictable.
It's just that Chen Guangde doesn't understand one thing, the uncle is the patriarch, so that future generations can inherit his position. Therefore, it is normal to target the fifth room that is out of class, and the reason makes sense, but the sixth uncle has no children and no daughters, and he is alone. Why should he target himself, and what is the benefit of him helping his uncle?
In Chen Guangde's painful thoughts, the carriage returned to Graystone Village.
He got off the carriage at the intersection, and saw that on the other side, Chen Xiansong's leaders were actively building fortifications, and now they were not only building a simple rejection of horses, but also building a stone wall at the intersection that was only about about a meter high, but all the intersections that went up the mountain were sealed, and the gate was almost completed.
That's not all, the villagers dug a lot of small crystal pillars in the field and put them in front of and behind the stone wall, these things have a certain anti-elemental effect, that is, if the enemy wants to storm Chen Xiansong's territory, they must use their flesh and blood to push it...... His castle was originally built on the mountainside, and the attackers were at a low level, showing their disadvantage.
After a few more closer looks, Chen Guangde returned home, Zhang Wu came out sweating profusely, and said: "Master, I have asked for something, but there have been some lynchings, among which there is a woman who serves you has a very hard mouth, and now she has been knocked out in the backyard, but she finally said something." ”
"It's okay, tell me everything you know." Chen Guangde sat back in his chair with a very solemn expression.
"Most of the things that the sixth master told you are military, but there are two things he should hide." Zhang Wu glanced at his master, then lowered his head and said, "The first one, the Tachibana Thorn is overwhelming, and the number of troops may exceed 10,000. ”
"Ten thousand!" Chen Guangde grabbed the chair hand with both hands. No wonder my little sister came to beg her brother-in-law to hide for a while last night, it turned out that it was not my sister who was confused, but she was confused by the illusion of power in the house, and she was too confident to judge at a loss.
"What about the second one?"
Zhang Wu paused and said, "The second thing is related to my uncle." The business of Yanlu is indeed a gift from my uncle to our Chen family, and the most important thing is that the president of the Soul Thinkers Association here, whose name is not Albert, and he doesn't like women, but our aunt. He's the president here. ”
"What!" Chen Guangde stood up suddenly, his face hideous. It's not that he has any opinion on Chen Xiansong as the president, but he is annoying the uncle and the sixth uncle, this is not so simple as misleading, but he is directly lying, here he is pushing him to a dead end, but this is also to blame himself, why do you believe the words of the uncle, but do not believe the words of his little sister.
Zhang Wu took two steps back, bowed, and swallowed his saliva quietly. At this time, Chen Guangde is generally very easy to take people out of anger, if he unfortunately bumps into his muzzle and becomes an unlucky ghost, then there is no place to reason.
After a while, Chen Guangde sat back in his chair and said, "You have all the men go and build fortifications against the cavalry, and the women make dry food, and the more you do, the better." In addition, you go and pick out some fine jewelry, and I will go to my brother-in-law's house with you in a while to meet my little sister, even if my brother-in-law has disliked me, I should still be able to meet my little sister. When the time comes, apologize, and see if things turn around. ”
Zhang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that his master would be stubborn and refused to bow his head and admit his mistakes.
Chen Xiansong was looking at the fortification map in the study, it was his idea to build a city wall, and as a lord, he did have this power. There were a lot of enemies coming this time, and even if some of them were blocked by the City Lord's Mansion, he estimated that he would have to face more than 3,000 enemies. There are also those inexplicable alien races, who really don't understand them, one faction is trying to woo themselves, and the other seems to be trying to find a way to kill them.
But this is normal, according to the information revealed by the little guy, the alien race is divided into three factions, and it is not a strange thing that there are political disagreements.
Although Bai Qianxin and Bai Min already have equipment specifically for the alien race, it is difficult to guarantee whether the other party will have countermeasures. After separating the two of them from the alien race, then, the worst plan is to use the current combat power of Greystone Village to fight against 3,000 to 5,000 enemies.
This may be an impossible task for others, but Chen Xiansong feels that it does not seem to be so difficult.
In the era of cold weapons, there were not many ways to war, and they had their own limitations. Chen Xiansong built a city wall, which could greatly ease the opponent's attack, and then asked the women and children in the village to cut down the castle and the trees around the village and transport them away, he was afraid that the other party would attack with fire arrows and set fire to the mountain.
The trees that were cut down were dragged away by Bai Qianxin, and she was going to have people make these things into trebuchets. There are not many other gray stone villages, but there are many stones on the mountain, so it is named. In addition to throwing stones, the trebuchet can also change for something else, which is just the second step in Bai Qian's scheming.
There are too many unexpected factors in war, so many times, war is a super gamble of 'doing your best and obeying the destiny of heaven'. Chen Xiansong said a little panicked when he said to the escort team that he had the confidence to win, he estimated that his side had a chance of winning about 90%, but this was not a sure victory.
Alice boiled some hot soup and brought it up, Chen Xiansong thanked him, and then drank it slowly.
Although Alice usually likes to play a little temper, which is also one of her characteristics, she knows how to measure things, and at times like this, if she loses her temper again, she will only drag others down, and then hurt herself. She looked at Chen Xiansong and felt that the other party seemed to have lost a little weight, so she said, "Actually, you can ask my brother for help...... My brother also has some troops at his disposal now, and although there are not many people who can be sent, it can always lighten your burden a little. ”
"He's in the royal capital, it's too far away, it's too late." Chen Xiansong smiled: "Besides, now that the royal family is still in a stalemate with the rebels, how can your family, as a member of the royalist faction, be distracted." Even if your eldest brother is willing to help, the patriarch of your family will not let him come. ”
"That's right......" Alice muttered, then exited the room and went downstairs.
The rest of the soup gurgled on the stove, and Alice froze. It's been almost a year since she came to this house, and she feels that she is very happy, she doesn't have to worry about strict house rules, she doesn't have to worry about marrying a dirty middle-aged man at any time, and she doesn't have to worry about her father's roaring and scolding from time to time.
Although she is usually very strong and always likes to find trouble with Chen Xiansong, she is not a heartless person, she knows that Chen Xiansong is letting herself. In such an era, it is almost impossible to meet a man who has the ability, appearance, property, and can still let himself, and the woman's small temperament, and when you meet such a man, as long as it is a woman, she wants to marry.
Alice also thinks this way, but the problem is, Chen Xiansong doesn't come to her...... If Chen Xiansong and Bai Qianxin and Bai Min are happy, she still has no grudges, but Chen Xiansong often runs to Catherine!
A woman who has given birth to a child, although she is still beautiful, how can she be so young and lovely.
"Bastards who don't know how to appreciate."
Alice picked up the wooden spoon and tapped the lid of the pot a few times. (To be continued......)
