Before leaving, Aslan went to find Chen Xiansong, but was told by his son that the teacher was still sleeping. Recently, he has heard rumors that Chen Xiansong is becoming more and more sleepy. Many people thought that he was sick, especially the people from Gray Stone Village, who had a tendency to curse Chen Xiansong for a serious illness when discussing it in private, so Aslan secretly suppressed this situation several times.

After a few words of encouragement to his son, Aslan left Graystone Village with more than 20 people and went out to plan. The people of Grayshi Village knew that there was not much food in the village, so they began to consciously save food and money, and also organized strong men to hunt in the mountains, which can be described as extremely hard. In contrast, Chen Xiansong's 'lingmin' is much happier, and there is a ration of food every day, because it is almost winter, Chen Xiansong also asked Ryan to go to the city a few days ago to buy a batch of cotton clothes and come back, and each family has a few pieces of hair according to each person.

Because there was a good lord, the people were not in a hurry at all, they slowly collected dead branches and leaves, collected excrement, threw it into the biogas digester, and also went to the vicinity to collect wild fruit tree saplings and transplant them to the hillside according to Bai Min's request. They were wholeheartedly preparing for next year's spring, and the people of Greystone Village watched from the sidelines, envious and jealous, and in comparison, they did not even dare to move casually, because activity meant expending more physical strength. They miss the short days when they worked for Chen Xiansong, not only did they have enough food, but they also had two or three small pieces of meat to eat every day.

Chen Xiansong now sleeps about 18 hours, he only has breakfast, lunch, and two hours before and after lunch, and he sleeps the rest of the time. It is strange that the average person sleeps for so long, and the body will be weak and weak for only a few days, but Chen Xiansong feels that he seems to be getting healthier and stronger, but he does not grow muscles.

Time passed for a while, the weather cooled down significantly, Chen Xiansong curled up in the quilt, sleeping soundly, suddenly felt someone shaking himself vigorously, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw Alice in a pale red maid dress standing at the head of the bed, and her crisp voice was in her ears: "Hurry up, big lazy worm, Uncle Ryan is waiting for you below, saying that there is something very important." ”

Chen Xiansong yawned and staggered down the steps, looking like he would fall down if he didn't pay attention. Seeing this, Alice on the side hurriedly went up to support him: "Be careful, don't fall." Really, how old a person is, and it's as worrying as a child. ”

"No way...... My head is still a little foggy. ”

"You sleep like this every day, it doesn't matter to your body."

"Xiao Min said no problem, then there is absolutely no problem." Chen Xiansong said indifferently.

While the two were talking, they went down to the living room. Alice let go of the boy's hand: "I shouldn't be able to wrestle if I go by myself now." ”

"I'm not really a three-year-old."

Alice laughed, "I think it's quite similar." I went to help out in the kitchen, and I screamed if something happened. ”

Ryan, who was sitting in the living room, saw Chen Xiansong and immediately greeted him, with an uneasy panic on his face: "Master, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but this matter is very important, and I have to take up your precious time." ”

"Sit down and talk." Chen Xiansong gestured to the chair next to him.

Bai Min brought two cups of flower tea and left. Chen Xiansong took a sip, it was quite bitter, it seemed that Bai Min did it on purpose, wanting to help him wake up. Ryan held the teacup, as if he had no intention of drinking tea, he said: "Master, not long ago, we went to the southern mountains to dig some white lily saplings, and when we were halfway up the mountain, we accidentally found that two cavalry appeared on the path at the foot of the mountain, and then quickly disappeared again, looking at their costumes, I am sure that they are definitely the cavalry scout vanguard of Tachibana Thorns. ”…,

"The cavalry scouts of the Tachibana Thorn?" Chen Xiansong remembers that Verder said this: "Can you be sure of them? ”

There was some nostalgia in Ryan's eyes, and he said with certainty: "I was also a mercenary when I was young, and once I went on a mission to stand up for the thorns, and there was some conflict between the mercenary group and their cavalry scout team on the border, and I was hit by an arrow in the knee, for which I had to quit the mercenary group, and I will never forget their costumes until I die." ”

"I heard that Tachibana Thorns have a brutal habit of robbing villages in other countries, they should have come to find out the situation, and the team in charge of robbery should be here in the next few days, so we must be prepared." Chen Xiansong put down the teacup and drank the strong flower tea, he felt much more sober.

"I think so too, master."

Chen Xiansong thought for a while and said: "I don't know much about war, according to the wartime civilian code handed down from the era of natural persons, we should go to evacuation first at this time, but now it is different from before...... Ryan, as a manor owner, what rights and obligations do I have in wartime? ”

"The owner has the right to form a small personal guard. They have the right to collect taxes from their lords. Ryan said, "But in return, the lord of the manor must hold on to his territory, and must not evacuate without an order from above, otherwise he will be convicted of treason...... But the master is a contemplative of the soul and should not be bound by these obligations. ”

Chen Xiansong smiled: "Is it really unfettered?" ”。

Ryan knew that he had not concealed Chen Xiansong, and he was silent.

"In other words, I can't leave here, can I?" Chen Xiansong took another sip of flower tea, and he said slowly: "War...... When I heard that, I was nervous...... Ryan, do you know how to reject horses? ”。

"Zhilu Dao" Ryan nodded: "When I was a mercenary, I used to learn." ”

Chen Xiansong thought for a while, asked someone to bring a pen and paper, on which he drew a topographical map of the vicinity of Graystone Village, and then marked some important places: "Ryan, you let the manor construction team stop work and return to Black Earth City, and then take people to the mountains to cut more wood, and arrange the horse rejection in the places where these circles are drawn, and the horse traps in the places where the squares are drawn." ”

Ryan looked at it for a while and became surprised: "The master has learned about army operations?" ”

"I haven't learned." Chen Xiansong smiled bitterly: "I just vaguely read some accounts about the cold weapon war in the book, but I didn't expect it to come in handy." But after all, this thing is on paper, and I don't know if it's useful or not. ”

Ryan smiled, and he suddenly felt much more confident. Everyone knows the Dao, among the three major forces, the Sun God Servant is the strongest, the Dragon Clan is the second, and the Soul Ponderer is the last, compared with the first two, the individual strength of the Soul Ponderer is too weak, but once it involves small-scale battles, or wars and the like, the most powerful is the Soul Ponderer.

The most famous example is the surprise attack on Solomon's palace by the cavalry of the Kate Kingdom more than 300 years ago. Under the command and leadership of Willy Yang, more than 400 cavalry unbelievably passed through Solomon's favored army line, directly attacked King Solomon's city, and directly destroyed the entire palace with a thunderous momentum, and all the members of Solomon's royal family died, and then, Yang Willy led more than 400 cavalry to shake off the Royal Knights of Solomon, who were frantically chasing them, and returned safely to the Kingdom of Kate, only a few months later, Yang Willy also died in a strange and clueless assassination.

It was also from that time that the soul-contemplative who was proficient in the science of war was the most sought-after talent in every country.

"I didn't expect the master to actually study war." Ryan took the defense map given to him by Chen Xiansong, and after walking out of the house, he laughed: "Now I hope that the miscellaneous pieces of the Tachibana Thorn Empire will come over soon, you will definitely die a miserable death, bastard." ”

At night, on the northern border of the Tachibana Thorn Kingdom, the Lone Wolf Legion, the Ninth Squadron were lowered, and the cavalry scout team was temporarily stationed in the station.

"Oh, you really see that they're building a manor-like building?"

"That's absolutely right, Captain. There are absolutely no private guards there. ”

"I didn't expect that. I just let you go to see the place where my ancestors used to suffer, but I didn't expect to run into a big fat fish. It should be a newly appointed nobleman, and he has not yet had time to assemble his own fighting power. They didn't find you. ”

"There was no one around at the time, and no one should have noticed us."

"Heh, it doesn't matter if you find out, the nobles of the Kate Kingdom can't leave their territory. The nobles have always been quite rich, and it is very comfortable to rob them, and if you catch that nobleman, you can get an additional ransom. Shawshank, you go and inform the guys who are ready to rob things overnight, and ask a few more people to continue to investigate the situation of that noble territory, I want to know the exact patrol time of the Black Earth City Scout Cavalry Team, when it will pass there, and how often. When you do it, you have to avoid them. ”……，
