As soon as Qiao Wan walked on the front foot, Long Xiang patted his head and said that it was broken.

How can there be noodles in this era? In addition to the steamed buns he had just "invented", the main method of noodles was soup cakes (similar to the current dough sheets).

The explanation is that there is no way to explain it, maybe noodles will become the first food of Xiaoqiao?

Long Xiang asked people to prepare horses to go out, ready to go to the craftsman camp to find Qiaoling.

Passing by the location of the Hero Monument, I found a familiar figure, it was Qiao Ling kneeling on the stage and crying.

Isn't there anyone who bullied Qiao Ling? Dare to bully my brother-in-law in Hefei? Is this worth it?

Seeing this, Long Xiang hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and stepped up the steps to the monument in a few steps, but saw the bridge sword in front of him.

"Childe is crying so sadly, is he thinking about the general?"

"Brother is here..."

Qiao Ling hurriedly wiped away her tears, and explained as she got up: "I passed by the Heroes Monument many times in the afternoon, and when I saw that the people came here to mourn their relatives, I remembered that my father's grave was far away in Qian County, so I couldn't help but come to talk to him..."

"What do you have to tell the general?" Long Xiang took advantage of the situation to help him up.

Qiao Ling replied, "I just told my father that my mother and sister are all right, and my brother takes good care of us..."

Long Xiang nodded slightly, and asked puzzledly, "Since everything is fine, why is Childe weeping and crying?"

Qiao Ling looked at the sword in his hand, and suddenly shook his head bitterly and helplessly: "I hate that I can't practice martial arts well, I hate that I am not a general, and I hate that I can't inherit my father's legacy..."

Long Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart How old are you, where is it so easy to practice martial arts?

But all the famous generals are the lucky ones who are killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and there are very few who are born at the peak, are you too demanding of yourself?

"Childe, can you tell me why you want to practice martial arts well? Do you want to be a general in battle, or a general in command of the army?"

Qiao Ling looked ignorant and muttered, "Isn't this different?"

Long Xiang smiled and said, "That's very different, the general in the battle is like Xiang Yu, but among the ten thousand troops, he takes the head of the enemy general, and the general who commands the army is Han Xin's kind, commanding thousands of troops and horses to fight, and he only needs to strategize."

"Xiang Yu, Han Xin? Compare... It's not comparable..."

Qiao Ling shook her head and added, "If you can do what my father did..."

Long Xiangxin said that your requirements are really not high, but low requirements are easy to become cannon fodder on the battlefield, and now Qiao Ling has become his brother-in-law, and he must be guided by his future employment, and now he must use reason to wake him up.

"The name of the ancients can't be compared, what do you think of Xu Zhongkang? Can your father's martial arts rival him?"

Qiao Ling's red eyes widened, and she shook her head and muttered, "I can't..."

Seeing this, Long Xiang pursed his mouth: "That's troublesome, there are Zhongkang martial artists in this world, I guess there are not a few, if the son only has the ability of a general, how can he survive on the battlefield?"

"Uh..."

Qiao Ling swallowed in embarrassment, and asked tentatively, "Then like my brother, be a general who commands the army?"

Long Xiang shook his head and laughed at himself: "Me? The commander of the army? Definitely. In this world, the commander of the army is like me, and the number of vehicles is innumerable, and the son has seen me lead the troops into battle?"

"That's..."

Qiao Ling scratched her head and didn't know how to continue asking.

"People are self-aware, and they must be good at using their strengths, rather than blindly pursuing the achievements of others, otherwise they will seek fish for the sake of wood, if they are ordinary people with mediocre qualifications, what does it matter if they face their ordinariness calmly?"

After Long Xiang finished speaking solemnly, he suddenly turned around and put his hands on his waist, looking at the sunset on the horizon and continuing to reason.

"Childe is still young now, there is no need to blindly decide what to do in the future, the two young ladies and ladies have me to take care of, you don't have to carry anything for the general, give yourself more time to think, think about what you are most interested in, whether it is martial arts, literature, conscription, even business, you can find a teacher after thinking about it, and then talk about ideals after a few years of studying the rules and regulations."

"Hmm..."

descendent

Nodding his head in understanding, he suddenly pulled Long Xiang's cuffs and asked curiously, "Brother is so modest, what are you best at?"

"What am I best at?" Long Xiang frowned.

After thinking for a while, Long Xiang suddenly pointed to the Hero Monument and changed the topic and asked, "What does Childe think this Hero Monument is doing?"

Qiao Ling looked around and muttered, "It's pretty good..."

Long Xiang nodded lightly and stretched out his left hand, and his five fingers gradually leaned towards the palm of his hand.

"The Hero Monument from the site selection, design, drawing, materials, technology, etc., are all from my handwriting, on martial arts I am not as good as Zhongkang, on the wisdom of I am not as good as Zijing, but on the architectural design and construction organization, no one in Hefei is better than me..."

"Ahh

Qiao Ling has heard the craftsman praise Longxiang, and even heard the craftsman praise him for creating cement, but the craftsman is a craftsman in the final analysis, so what if he is the strongest in the Han Dynasty? Could it be that he could still be knighted?

Thinking of this, Qiao Ling's expression became strange: "I don't know what my brother's ability is for in this troubled world?"

"What's the use? Is it useful? Hahaha..."

Long Xiang laughed confidently, and then asked Qiao Ling, "Gongzi once went up to the city wall to watch the battle, do you think it is easier to defend the city or attack the city?"

"Sun Ce can't even get in, so it's naturally easier to defend the city."

Seeing Qiao Ling's answer, Long Xiang smiled and added, "My ability can make the city strong, doesn't Childe think this skill is useless? Besides, you have been in the craftsman's camp, and the organization and scheduling skills you have exercised during the construction process can be used in both the army and the government, so don't underestimate the son..."

"I see." Qiao Ling nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Qiao Ling seemed to have an understanding, Long Xiang patted him on the shoulder and whispered encouragement: "I'll take the topic away, Gongzi will think clearly first when he goes back, and he will find a teacher for you when he thinks about it, but if you really want to learn martial arts, Zhong Kang requires him to practice enough."

"As my brother said, no matter how well I practice, I may not have the skills of a general, so why waste my time to embarrass myself?"

When Qiao Ling was helping out in the craftsman camp, he was actually quite interested in building construction, so he was afraid that Chen would say that he had no ambition.

Just now I heard Long Xiang connect the building with the defense of the city, Qiao Ling suddenly thought that this direction was also quite good, at least the brother-in-law would teach him more carefully than others.

Qiao Ling boldly asked, "Brother, can buildings be used in wars in addition to reinforcing city defenses?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I have to form a craftsman camp? Before the battle, quickly build a strong camp and directly fight a defensive counterattack with the enemy, are you angry with the enemy?"

When Long Xiang said this, he suddenly remembered the tower stacking tactic, if he repaired the dock fort in a critical position, it was estimated that he would be able to disgust the opponent to death.

Qiao Ling's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said that if architecture can be linked to war, her mother should not object.

Just as he was about to tell Long Xiang about his choice, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the main road to the south.

After a short time, the man quickly swept over the hero's monument, and suddenly pulled it to a halt.

Qiao Ling reminded: "It's Cao Dudu..."

Long Xiang walked down the steps to greet him, Cao Xing ran over quickly, clenched his fists and hurriedly reported:

"The general was originally here, and the last general just didn't need to go to the military Sima Mansion, and the head of the naval patrol Liu team reported urgently that seven or eight Jiangdong warships had broken into Chaohu Lake, and it was estimated that they would arrive in Hefei before dark."
