The next day, the morning of early autumn was already slightly chilling. Chen Guangde woke up from the bright pink and washed up under the maid’s service, and then tidied himself neatly and meticulously. The breakfast was an excellent tender sparrow meat and scallion porridge. The chef has been serving it from the middle of the night until now, using a high-quality blue and white porcelain bowl. When he lifted the lid of the bowl, the rich aroma came to his face.

Chen Guangde sat with a big golden knife, used a silver spoon to pull away the scallions from the porridge noodles, scooped half a spoon into his mouth, feeling the smell on the tip of his tongue, and then nodded slightly. The chef standing beside him breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Because Chen Guangde had originally managed a restaurant, he was very proficient in eating and drinking, and had very high requirements. If the taste was not in line with his appetite, being scolded was just a trivial matter, and he might even be punished.

Although it is just a simple dish of croaker, it is very particular about choosing rice, using water, and heat. The value of a handful of good rice may be worth more than the food and food of an ordinary family of five. The nobles of the Zhendan Kingdom believed that in addition to being different from ordinary people in terms of power, aristocrats should also widen the gap in food and clothing. If there are not many good chefs in the mansion who are good at various cuisines, they will feel ashamed of being dissatisfied when entertaining guests.

While he was having breakfast, Zhang Wu came to report: "Your Excellency, the members of the association have already delivered the snow salt in advance today. They also said that they may no longer ship or produce in the near future. It will not be able to operate normally until the army of Tachibana withdraws."

Chen Guangde also knew about the Lihua Tsai Army coming, but he didn't care. He just said lightly: "With such a large-scale snow salt business, the scholars of the association don't know how to recruit people to protect them. Once the enemy comes, they will be forced to close their business. How much money will they lose on this day? If it were me, Humph, I must manage this place like an iron bucket, whether it is a lone wolf or a Garfield, as long as they dare to come, they will not be able to return."

"Master is mighty." Zhang Wu flattered.

"I will go to the association to pay homage to the president of the scholar here. Have you prepared some?" Chen Guangde said after his last sip of porridge: "You must choose a gift, and there must be no wrong things. No matter what, we must always occupy the business of Xueyan. If possible, it would be best if you can pry out more of the share from his mouth. Uncle Six said he is lustful, so the beauty must be of high quality. It's just a pity...ah."

Chen Guangde sighed long. Zhang Wu didn't know what the master was sighing, and he didn't dare to make random guesses. He immediately went to do some things.

Half an hour later, Chen Guangde got on the carriage, followed by two cargo trucks. The goods were piled up very high, but they were covered tightly with black tarpaulin, and the details were unknown. At the same time, the convoy had more than 30 guards riding horses to protect him, and headed towards the direction of Heiyan City.

Chen Xiansong stood on the balcony. Looking at the convoy under the mountain legs, after they disappeared from sight, they returned to the room. Xiao Min put on his casual clothes and went down to the upper hall. Alice and Ruth served freshly baked honey bread and fresh honey milk tea. Chen Xiansong took a bite of the bread, chewed a few bites, and said, "It tastes good, but some places are burnt."

Alice snorted coldly and said angrily: "This is my first time making honey bread. If you find it bad, you can avoid it."

Since Chen Xiansong and Catherine were having sex, she has become like this now. She is not very happy about Chen Xiansong doing anything. However, her emotions are only aimed at Chen Xiansong, and she is still the same for others, and she is a little more intimate with Catherine.

Chen Xiansong immediately swallowed a few bites of the honey bread into his stomach, and then said, "It tastes delicious, even if it is burnt."

Alice's face improved a lot, then she snorted again, turned around and went back to the kitchen. The golden ponytail drew a semicircle as her body turned, almost slapped Chen Xiansong's face. The latter murmured: "Alice is so angry lately, what's wrong with her?"

"The girl's heart is awkward, mainly because Xiao Song is a bit arrogant and the other. But it doesn't matter. As long as she is a little bit too late, she will figure it out. If Xiao Song wants her to be happy soon, go and coax her." Bai Qianxin finished her breakfast, walked to Chen Xiansong, kissed his forehead with a kiss, and then continued, "I will continue to supervise them to reconcile those things so that they will not accidentally die. If Xiao Song has nothing to do, she will go to the guards to boost their morale, and also go to the village to speak, so that they can prepare for war. This is good for everyone."

Chen Xiansong nodded to show his understanding.

After Chen Xiansong had breakfast, he went to the guard's dormitory. Balf, Fina and others were practicing these original mercenaries with good strength. Seeing the lord coming, Balf immediately asked them to line up to gather. These people looked at Chen Xiansong with expressions of gratitude and dependence in their eyes, and when they saw Bai Min, they felt a strong awe.

Standing in front of these iron-blooded men, Chen Xiansong knew that someone might die in this battle, so he was a little heavy and said, "The battle may come soon. Maybe my next words will hurt everyone's morale, but I still have to make my thoughts clear."

"As long as you fight, someone will die. This is inevitable. If you use the righteousness, I can use the word "defending the country" to arouse everyone's fighting spirit and morale, but I don't want to, because a person's life is only once, and death is dead, and nothing is gone. Honors, pride, medals, these are just things that only the winners and those who survive. In the next war, I have the confidence to win, but I cannot make sure that each of you survives."

Chen Xiansong looked at these familiar and somewhat unfamiliar faces and continued: "But I hope that each of you can survive, not for the territory, not for me, nor for the country, but for your own relatives, friends, and confidants. Only by surviving can you enjoy the happiness and rewards after the victory of the battle, and not make your relatives and friends cry."

There was no cheering or noise. It was not until a few minutes after Chen Xiansong left that the guards spontaneously dispersed. They began to organize their equipment at the same time, more carefully and seriously than before. After Chen Xiansong finished speaking, their morale might have fallen a little, but there seemed to be something else in their eyes.

Next, Chen Xiansong went to the village. The little guy was teaching Jessica in the open space in the village. Linda and Alex were literate, and two guards were guarding her. When she saw the teacher, she seemed very happy, but she restrained her actions. She didn't rush over at home, but slowly walked forward, gave a lady's greeting, and then stood beside him, looking extremely well-behaved.

Jesica, Linda and Alex came up and saluted Chen Xiansong. These three little guys were a little embarrassed. In order not to affect their learning mood, Chen Xiansong encouraged him a few words and then entered the second uncle's home.

It was a very strange thing that a nobleman ran to a civilian home as a guest, and soon there was a large group of people outside.

Chen Xiansong sat in the hall. Except for the second uncle who seemed calm because of his age and experience, his family was all at a loss. Especially the second uncle's son, he was even more nervous. His wife brought a plate of dried fruits and saw that one of them seemed to be moldy. He slapped him over: "You idiot woman, you dare to use this rotten dried fruit for the lord to eat. Are you having any problems with your head? Why don't you go and change it to some fresh fruits."

His wife moved her mouth twice and wanted to say, "There is no fresh fruit in our family..." But when she saw her husband's fierce look, she stopped her mouth and could only go back to the room and think about a solution.

Seeing this situation, Chen Xiansong felt that it seemed something was wrong for him to come in person, so he turned his head and said to the second uncle: "Old village chief, I know you have a high reputation in the village, so I want to ask you to do something."

The second uncle had a small conflict with Chen Xiansong before, but now he still regrets the incident. Hearing this, he said, "Lord, please say that even if you don't sleep, the men in our village will help you get things done."

"It's not that exaggerating." Chen Xiansong waved his hand: "Large-stood army will soon be coming, and I think everyone should know about this."

The second uncle nodded.

"In the last war, the village suffered a lot of disasters. Some people's houses were burned out, and some people's food was burned out." Chen Xiansong remembered the images of the village after that war. He paid almost all of the reconstruction work after the war. Although he spent a lot of money, he also won the hearts of the people: "And there were more enemies this time. For everyone's safety and property, I hope everyone can temporarily leave the village and retreat to the mountain."

The second uncle thought for a while and said, "Lord, we will not leave. The farmers have no land and no houses, and we will have no way to live."

"I can help you make up for the losses after the war," Chen Xiansong said.

"Lord, you have received your kindness." The second uncle smiled bitterly: "You have done enough for us, such as our bitter mud legs. We have helped us build houses, reduced our agricultural taxes, exempted our foreign taxes, and took the initiative to help us find work. We also used the water trucks. You are the best lord I have ever met, and we have never done anything for you."

The second uncle said slowly: "Lord, we will also participate in this war. Even if we hold a hoe, we will also fight with the lord. The lord protects the people. In return, the lord must fight for the lord. Building the territory is your responsibility, and dying is our obligation to lead the people."

Looking at the second uncle's stubborn eyes and then the gazes of the people around him, Chen Xiansong couldn't speak.
