Chapter 369
Wild forest, somewhere in a valley.
This place was originally the lair of a soul beast, but now it has become a mountain stronghold.
The scale is not very large, it can only be considered normal.
But the design is very reasonable, and the external defense is reinforced layer by layer.
The gate of the village is covered with iron sheets and inlaid with door nails. There are three rows of horses and deer antlers in front.
There are defensive structures such as battlements, arrow towers, and watchtowers on the walls.
And if you know how to come here, you will definitely find that this village not only has Eastern characteristics, but also Western elements!
At this moment, the heavy sound of horse hooves sounded in front.
The first people to discover it on the city wall were naturally the guards stationed at the watchtower.
"Someone is coming this way, be alert!"
A total of ten people on two stations on the city wall looked at the person coming, drawing their bows and arrows, ready to shoot at any time!
But don't underestimate these arrows. It takes at least hundreds of kilograms of strength to draw these bows!
Not to mention that the garrison personnel standing on the wall are still pouring soul power into the arrow!
But at this tense moment, a voice sounded in the ears of these garrison personnel.
"Put down your bow, it's sir who's back."
The person who walked up the city wall was a young man with a powerful appearance and an extraordinary stature.
Despite his young age, people here respect him very much.
It can be seen from the fact that just one word from the other party can make dozens of soul masters who have reached the Soul Sect level put down their weapons.
But the young man did not explain, let alone stay here.
The young man got off the city wall, turned to the village gate and said, "Open the door!"
His orders were not to be disobeyed, and soon the door was opened.
At the same time, the sound of horse hooves also sounded in the village.
But compared to the thick and powerful one on the outside, the one on the inside is obviously much lighter and more flexible.
"lady."
When the young man saw the visitor, he could not help but bow his head and salute.
The girl who was called Madam couldn't help but blush when she heard this title.
But the girl couldn't help but corrected her: "Chengdu, this is a military camp, you have to call me deputy commander!"
The young man is Yuwen Chengdu, and this girl is undoubtedly Saber.
This cottage was also the campsite chosen by the two.
Of course, this is not a military camp, just their temporary stop.
"Haha, actually the wife of the legion commander is more suitable, isn't it?"
At this time, hearty laughter sounded outside the village, apparently from the conversation inside the village.
The person coming is none other than Xiao Tianyang!
Saber was a little helpless, but she could only say: "This is not the place to talk. Go back first."
Xiao Tianyang smiled and nodded. Of course, he also noticed the white horse Saber was riding.
"This should be my reward at that time, the Jade Lion according to the moon, right?"
Xiao Tianyang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: "It's really beautiful, but I don't know how it compares to Chitu?"
He went up the mountain at that time and did not redeem it immediately after receiving the reward.
Moreover, Xiao Tianyang also found that the system was quite humane in this aspect, and knew that he wanted to give the next horse to Saber.
So I was given two options at that time. One was to design a link and then send the Jade Lion to Saber.
The scene today is the consequences of that decision.
It doesn't matter if you wait, after all, Xiao Tianyang and Saber's relationship does not lack this horse to add to it.
Yuwen Chengdu did not follow him. After all, he thought that the couple had not seen each other for a long time, and there were some scenes that he could not see.
What's more, Saber knows the situation here better than he does, so it's perfect for the other party to speak.
The two walked and chatted while holding the horse. At the same time, Xiao Tianyang also had time to observe the surroundings.
I have to say that it was the right thing to ask Saber and Yuwen Chengdu to cooperate in building this fortress before leaving.
Although today's buildings are much simpler than those in big cities, they are also more distinctive in a certain way.
It has both the ancient charm and restraint of the East and the elegance and subtlety of the West.
The combination of these two makes even a wooden house look particularly pleasing to the eye.
Saber's residence is in the center of the current village, and its location is the highest point in the entire village.
Of course, this is not to show off any rights, but to make it more convenient for people coming and going.
After all, Saber is handling most of the things here now.
Even the village chief, Mo Zaiwen, is far inferior to Saber in terms of management.
Moreover, she is now also responsible for the organization and training of the army, so she is extremely busy all day long.
With so many people coming and going, it is natural to place the center at the core.
This would both reduce time spent on the road and turn the center into an iconic building.
As time goes by, and the management system here is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone is doing their job, Saber will definitely move out from here.
After all, living here is not a pleasant thing.
However, in this regard, Xiao Tianyang, who is the hands-off shopkeeper, does not know.
So he even teased Saber on the way.
To be honest, if Saber wasn't virtuous and didn't care about this, Xiao Tianyang would probably be lying on the ground now...
The two returned to their residence, where the architectural style was relatively simple.
There is only a bookshelf, a table and two chairs in the office.
There is a door on the side, which opens into the room where Saber usually rests.
When the two of them talk about serious things, of course they are in the office, so they still have to follow these rules.
But before Saber could start reporting, Xiao Tianyang took the lead and asked: "I seem to have seen a lot of strangers on this road. Where did they come from?"
"He's from a nearby village."
Saber explained: "Because Uncle Mo knew them and was unwilling to let them suffer, so with my consent, Uncle Mo took them over."
After a pause, Saber whispered like a child who had done something wrong: "I'm sorry, I just made a decision without your consent..."
Xiao Tianyang smiled indifferently and said: "It's nothing, not to mention that under the army, there is population."
"If we didn't have a fixed source of troops, this would be a problem, but you solved it perfectly."
To be honest, before leaving, he had thought about directly delegating power to Saber.
Anyway, he will definitely be a hands-off shopkeeper in the future, and all he wants is to complete the task.
But in this regard, Saber firmly refused, no matter how he tried to persuade her, even using extraordinary means, it was useless.
If it weren't for this attitude, why would I have to admit my fault to him for such a trivial matter?
The two looked at each other and smiled, ending the topic.
However, Xiao Tianyang then said: "This time I will purchase according to your requirements. All materials should be ordered here."
He handed over a space ring, which was also the one he used in the Star Dou Forest.
And now that there are new ones, the old ones are naturally eliminated.
Of course, adhering to the principle of not wasting, Xiao Tianyang still made use of this space ring.
At least its current function is to store military supplies.
It is worth mentioning that Saber did not completely believe Xiao Tianyang in this regard.
In other words, her serious character does not allow her to have a perfunctory attitude in anything.
It's a bit tiring to live like this, but Saber is such a person and can't change it.
And Xiao Tianyang also likes the serious look of the other party, he is very cute and has a good temperament.
