302 Ten years east of the river
Surrender? Hearing this word, Chen Fei thought for a while and said: "This is unlikely, the official position of the captain of the water school is not small, if there is no chance, it is a little difficult for ordinary people to reach this level." Although our rebel army should rise up in response to the general trend, but now that the imperial court has not yet run out of oil lamps, it will only be humiliated and come back if we rush to surrender. ”
Jiang Jiqing stood up, shook slightly, and said with a confident smile: "King Shiling, please rest assured, I have confidence in this matter." I have a brother named Jiang Ruiyuan, who is very good at words, and is not known to the world, I have a way to get Temujin to be separated from the puppet court, and in just a few days, I can let Temujin join our rebel army! ”
Temujin was also a little famous among the rebels, which sounded wonderful, but Chen Fei still hesitated: "The enemy's reinforcements will arrive in a few days, if it doesn't work, this matter will be a little troublesome......"
"King Shiling, the lower officials can make a military order, if within three days, Temujin cannot be said to be in our army, I will bring someone to see me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent was shocked.
Good! Chen Fei shouted and stood up: "For your arrogance, I will give you three days." Someone came, the order went down, the army retreated ten miles, hung up the battle card, and avoided the battle. ”
The war on the side of the Aurora Kingdom is pressed for the time being. Winter on the Kate Kingdom side is earlier than the Aurora Kingdom. That morning, Chen Xiansong opened the window and found that it had begun to snow outside. He reached out of the window, took a few snowflakes and started it, it was cold and cold, and then he suddenly found that his room was not cold, the temperature was moderate, according to experience, it should be about twenty-five degrees, which is the most suitable temperature for the human body.
What's going on? He was a little strange that there was no fire in the room. Logically speaking, this should not be the case. At this time, Bai Min came in with warm water and a towel, and Chen Xiansong told her his questions, and the answer was immediately obtained. The beautiful cyborg girl gently pointed to the green cube on the desk with her jade hand.
Chen Xiansong picked up this thing and felt a warm touch, as if holding a piece of warm jade.
Bai Min explained: "This unknown object can keep the molecules in a certain range at the same vibration frequency, Xiao Song, you should also know that the temperature is actually the intensity of the molecules' vibration. ”
Chen Xiansong nodded, and then asked, "Since this thing has this ability." Why didn't you tell me before? ”
"You didn't ask." Bai Min seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and his eyes widened a little.
Chen Xiansong didn't notice Bai Min's expression, he put his mind on these strange cubes. Although the little guy said that this thing was 'the blood of the planet', until now he had not figured out what it was for, and he was not afraid of fire and water. is not afraid of green fire, and is surprisingly hard. Much harder than an exorcist stone. On top of that, it's beautiful, with starry dots in it.
After studying this thing for another day, it turned out that nothing had been studied, and Chen Xiansong gave up with a sigh. The next day. He put on his thick clothes and went out the door, feeling the cold weather outside, he slapped his palms a few times. Then he got into the carriage, and today he did not go to the Soul Thinkers Association, but to the teacher's house.
For Udil, Chen Xiansong has always been grateful. He also promised to take care of the teacher's descendants, but there have been a lot of things recently, so it has been delayed until now. Udil's home is in the western suburbs of Black Rock City, and there is one of the best fields in the city, and every year it harvests more crops than others. But a few decades ago, these lands were just a mess of rocks, and it took Udil a little effort to turn them into the fertile soil they are now.
Falling snow covered the yellowing canopy of the trees, and several servants were clearing the snow from the manor road. One of them was startled when he saw the carriage marked with the sign of the Soul Thinker, and immediately stepped forward, bent over and asked, "May I ask if Your Excellency has come to the village as a guest?" ”
Chen Xiansong poked his head out of the carriage and said, "Robert, I haven't seen you for a long time, I came here as a guest, I didn't notify you in advance, I don't know if your master is here?" ”
"I'm here, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform the master." When Robert had finished speaking, he hurried back to the farm, picking up a foot of snow and lifting it back. Since the death of the old owner Udir, there have not been many guests in the village, typical ten years in the east of the river, ten years in the west of the river. Robert is an old man in the village, he followed Udir in his youth, and has been watching the old master maneuver among many nobles, but as soon as the old master left, he immediately walked away, and never saw a significant guest come to visit, even if it was the city lord's mansion that had a good relationship before, several principals, did not come, at most, he sent someone to visit the door and report something.
Chen Xiansong is a nominal student of Udil, and he is half the master of this Zhuangzi, and he has a certain right to speak. However, it is precisely because of this that he wants to avoid suspicion and try to avoid being a guest in the village, so as not to have unnecessary misunderstandings among others, but he thought of something today and came.
Robert rushed out with a few servants who hurriedly changed into their dresses and welcomed Chen Xiansong into the manor. The little grandson stood at the gate, wearing a gorgeous aristocratic long dress, this dress was very slim, the young man was very beautiful and temperamental, but he was not very warm, he shivered in the cold wind, and when he saw Chen Xiansong's carriage coming, his eyes lit up, and he immediately greeted him.
The youngest grandson's real name is Engels, and he was originally very handsome, but because he has been in charge of things in the village recently, under many experiences, he has faded a little bit of youth and delicateness, and has become more mature and calm. As soon as Chen Xiansong got out of the carriage, he came up and gave Chen Xiansong a big hug, and then said very excitedly: "Brother Chen, you are finally here." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiansong was a little ashamed. He patted his little grandson on the shoulder apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I've had a lot of things late, so I'm a little late." I don't know if Uncle and Aunt Lu Dao are also in the village. ”
"Yes, all in." Listening to Chen Xiansong's name to his father, the little grandson seemed even happier, he glanced at Bai Min behind him, nodded his head, and then enthusiastically pulled Chen Xiansong into the house.
Compared to the cold outside, the inside of the house is as warm as spring. A few sticks of wood are burning in the fireplace in the hall. A middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman sit in the primary and secondary positions, respectively. As soon as Chen Xiansong saw the appearance of the man, he felt that he was a little similar to Udil, a simple man, and a middle-aged lady with special charm. The little grandson is obviously more like his mother.
As soon as Chen Xiansong entered, he asked his uncle and aunt how he was. In the aristocracy, this is generally the case, representing the saying that the two sides are one family. After hearing this, the two middle-aged people had some happy expressions, and they seemed even happier. They hurriedly asked their subordinates to serve wine and food, and warmly entertained Chen Xiansong and Bai Min.
The more the two sides talked, the happier they became, after lunch. The little grandson took advantage of the wine and asked, "Brother Chen, before grandpa died, he arranged for more than 300 women to help with farming in our village. Before leaving, he told the old man that when you come, these more than 300 women will be handed over to you, and he said that you are of great use. ”
Oh? Chen Xiansong was a little surprised. He's been worrying a little lately. The guards of Greystone Village, except for Fina. The rest are all male. And almost all of them are singles, Chen Xiansong is thinking about 'tricking' some women from the outside to come in. Give them a lifelong problem. Unexpectedly, Mr. Udier actually saw this step earlier, this is a rush of rain.
"Engels, thank you for remembering this." Chen Xiansong was a little moved in his heart, and he said: "Since the teacher's death to the present, you must have encountered a lot of trouble. If there's anything you need help with, just say yes, and I'll find a way to help you get it done. Plus, though you're smaller than me. But you should also reach the age of marriage, what are the requirements for girls, I can help you talk about matchmaking, anyway, I am also the president of the Soul Thinkers Association, and my speech and acting have some weight. ”
Hearing this, Engels's parents were very happy and felt that Chen Xiansong had not forgotten his roots.
When it comes to women, Engels is a little shy: "Brother Chen, women's affairs, take your time, don't be in a hurry." Our family is living very well now, we don't have to worry about food, we don't have to worry about clothing, there are a lot of prey here, and occasional hunting can also soothe our muscles and bones, and there is nothing to take care of. ”
If ordinary people heard this, they would naturally believe it. But Chen Xiansong is different, when he came, he found that the number of servants in the farm was about half, which indicated that the farm's economy began to have some problems. He remembered the last time he attended Udir's funeral, there were a large number of people in the farm. But think about it, although Engels's parents worked very hard to maintain the family, they lacked the ability to keep it and it was okay, and the little grandson had not fully grown up, so naturally there was no way to resist the whole family.
Chen Xiansong is willing to help them, but he also knows that although the family looks soft, they have a lot of self-esteem, and it is impossible to accept Chen Xiansong's 'charity', so Chen Xiansong changed his words: "Engels, you should also know that I recently made a 'Heluo Daqu'. ”
Engels nodded, he now admires Chen Xiansong's ability to 'reconstruct knowledge', which is much more powerful than his grandfather.
"Although I told the public that as long as the people in Graystone Village kept it, that was just a prevarication, and I always wanted to find someone I could trust to help me secretly sell these liquors. I want to think about it, only you are suitable, and I can't trust others. ”
"Not even an association?" Engels asked.
"There are too many things to do in the association, and there are many interests involved, and it is not easy to sell liquor at a high price." Chen Xiansong said: "So I need a capable and trustworthy family cooperation, I secretly sell not many baijiu, only a hundred barrels a month, and I can't sell it in Black Rock City, I hope you can help me in this matter." A barrel of liquor, I will give you the price of four gold coins, as for how much a barrel can be sold for, it depends on your ability. ”
This is an excellent business, the name of Heluo Daqu is a little scary, and it is not used for any promotion, so you can sell the goods quickly, and you are not afraid of accumulating goods at all. If he can get this business, it will be an excellent thing for the family that is now going downhill, and Engels himself doesn't care, he holds his father and thinks that Chen Xiansong is 'charity' for his family.
Engels looked at his father and waited for him to make a decision. Just as the middle-aged man was about to speak, Robert walked in, and he said a few words in the ear of Engels' father, whose face turned a little angry. (To be continued......)
