Although the courtyard where Lu Botong lives is located in "Yunlan Castle", it is located in a remote location, with quiet environment, swaying trees and deep scenery. The most distinctive point is that there is a rockery stone forest with a radius of more than ten meters outside the entrance, which is filled with flowing water and a pool, and goldfish are also raised, which connects the garden with other buildings in the fort with a Jiuqu Bridge that is more than ten meters long.

The long bridge passes through the rockery and rock forest, and it is like entering a maze. There is still a hexagonal pavilion in the middle section, which is so ingenious that it is exciting.

After passing through the Jiuqu Bridge, there was a green bamboo forest in front of me. Ye Qingxuan relaxed his mind and began to wait and see around in the mood of a tourist.

Through the left bend and curved right, beautiful scenery on both sides emerged one after another, and a sound of water gurgled. It turned out that there was a square pavilion at the end. Next to the square pavilion, there was a clear spring gushing out from the ground. The water was quite strong, and it was two or three feet high on the water surface. It was surrounded by strange flowers and plants, which was extremely graceful.

It turned out that the water from the fish pond outside was derived from this. If it were not for the bamboo forest outside, I would have heard the rumbling sound of water like hidden thunder.

On one side is the deep spring pool and the shimmering waves, while on the other side are painted pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, forming a wonderful fairyland on earth.

Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but be amazed.

This garden path is the way of nature. The scenery here is deeply rooted in the essence of the nature path of gardens. Applying scenery according to the situation is like the finishing touch of the painting. The gardens are ever-changing, and there are only nine key points: space, light and dark, separation, lining, standing elephant, color, climate, smelling fragrance, and offering fruit.

The architecture here comes from nature and ends with nature. The scenery and nature are combined into one, and all the nine musts of this garden are displayed, which is really the ultimate realm of the world.

The way of gardens can not only cheer up emotions and nature, but also trigger the secrets of heaven. It must not be seen in small ways.

The designer of the building here is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

The first thing Ye Qingxuan thought of was Lu Botong, the "skilled and crafted"; the second thing he thought of was the design style of the entire "Yunlan Township"; the third thing he thought of was the wonderful realm formed by "Ningbi Villa" naturally...

It is obvious that "Yunlan Township" and "Ningbi Villa" were both completed under the command of Lu Botong, the "No. 1 skilled craftsman in the world".

There is a gravel path on the left, connected to the square pavilion, extending along the edge of the cliff to the depths of the forest, which makes people feel excited to find the secluded and explore the beauty. Ye Qingxuan walked all the way, turned left and right, and suddenly the eyes suddenly became clear, and a two-story building suddenly appeared in front of him.

With respect for this educated old man, Ye Qingxuan gently pushed open the door below the small building.

When Ye Qingxuan, together with what Ji Guanglan said to him, hid the matter involving the master's sect and told him all about it to Lu Botong, Lu Botong was silent for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.

"TMD, I knew that these things could not be hidden from the old traitor. I was also worried about the Ji family and couldn't sleep all night. It really makes people angry if I think about it..."

Then he seemed to really get angry, and he slapped the sandalwood table in front of him with a slam. The whole solid sandalwood table broke into powder all over the floor. At the same time, he said angrily: "Ji Guanglan, an old traitor, has known about the matter here for a long time. He has been fooling me as a monkey for so many years. TMD, and he still blocked me from the face to scold the Thirteen Boy's master, saying, "Which bastard can teach such a bastard apprentice?" At that time, I didn't dare to admit it, pretended to be a grandson to endure it. Ji Guanglan, my grandson, it turns out that you TMD knew it was me and deliberately harmed me in person. Ji Guanglan, you are a traitor who has no son..."

Comrade Lao Lu shouted angrily, and the Gao Guan on his head moved around with Lu Botong's own movements. His tall and thin figure was trembling in his broad coat...

Ye Qingxuan regretted that he said everything without restraint. After enduring it for a long time, he saw that Lao Lu was tired of scolding, so he bit the bullet and wanted to go forward to persuade him. Before he could speak out, Comrade Lao Lu on the other side started talking again.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to scold such a person. Who told me to save the old rape Mao so many times back then..."

Ye Qingxuan thought to himself: Do you think you are scolding too little?

Lu Botong's temper comes and goes quickly. Before Ye Qingxuan can react, the storm has disappeared.

Sure enough, none of the peerless masters are mentally normal.

"Boy, you are really relieved of my advice this time. I feel very relieved..."

Ye Qingxuan was delighted, I'll always be relieved, you always show your hands to comfort me, ah, ah, I'll help me...

"There was news from the fort, and a large number of bandits were discovered. It is roughly estimated that the number of people on the other side is 10,000. The four major cities and main forts of "Yunlan Township" have been mobilized. Excluding the soldiers who must guard the city, the number of soldiers we can fight in the field is no more than 6,000. However, we are all warriors who are used to fighting. The opponent is just a bandit in the region. Perhaps some of them have good personal strength, but their overall strength is limited. If the opponent attacks the city, they will definitely lose. If it is a field battle, we will have a 70% victory rate. The only thing we are worried about is the enemy's internal response. If someone in our front turns against each other when the two sides are fighting, it will undoubtedly have a reversal effect on the entire battle situation. The original direct troops of the Feng family were Feng Yi's uncle and the two thousand soldiers under Feng Mufeng. If these people had problems during the war, it would be enough to affect the overall situation.

Although this matter has been under the calculation of Lao Cai Mao, if the number of soldiers on his side is weakened, it will be very dangerous. So I have sixteen crossbow machines here, which you will hand to Kang Yannian later. He is now staying in the main fort and responsible for defense. If you hand over this crossbow machine to him, you can greatly enhance the guardian strength of the main fort, and even save the number of defenders. By transferring the excess soldiers to the main battlefield, you will have more room for maneuver. Coarse cloth can probably at least 500 people from the fort."

Ye Qingxuan was stunned. The number of enemies on this battlefield was more than 10,000, and there were more than 500 people to use for an egg...

"Why not send those sixteen crossbow machines to the battlefield?"

"It's too heavy, it's hard for the soldiers to hold..."

“What about loading it on a carriage?”

"Car crossbow? I have tried it but some places still need to be improved, and the requirements are not met for the time being... Huh? I have a lot of ideas..."

Ye Qingxuan didn't answer, just smiled slightly.

There is the "military art system" of "Langhuan Lingmiao Pavilion" in the "Qimen Miscellaneous Art System". At the beginning, I randomly pointed out the comprehensive one and had an impression of the combat equipment in this military strategy. Moreover, among the "Quality", there are also the most basic ones that involve military equipment, so Ye Qingxuan is not unfamiliar with this.

I took a look at the crossbow machine designed by Lubotong with great interest. The design was indeed clever, but it was also because it was too clever and not suitable for large-scale production and maintenance. It was difficult to use it as a clever tool, and it could not be used as a large-scale military product.

Ye Qingxuan just took a look and denied the opinion that it would be changed to a crossbow.

Not that it's not possible, it's too late...

It took almost a month to modify all the sixteen crossbow machines. It was all because of the fact that this thing was too sophisticated and too delicate... and I was just Lu Botong and I couldn't be busy.

"Okay, I'll hand over these crossbows to Kang Yannian in a while." Then Ye Qingxuan paused and asked awkwardly: "Will that old man cause trouble for me because he hates me?"

"Don't worry, that old man can't beat you, so he can cause you any trouble. Besides, nothing else can be hidden from Ji Guanglan. Can he not know about this? After that, he must have found someone to comfort Lao Kang. Since he can stay now and be responsible for the safety of the castle, it means that he has no problems at all. Otherwise, how could such an important responsibility be left to a person who is upset to take responsibility?"

Ye Qingxuan nodded to show that he understood.

Lu Botong settled down, looked at Ye Qingxuan, and said, "This fierce battle, in order to preserve the Ji family's small strength, it will probably take a lot of time. Moreover, the enemy is not simple this time. It should be prepared, and it is definitely not the bandits who used to rob people and grain. As Lao Ji said, the enemy came to destroy his Ji family. In that case, among the people who came to the enemy this time, there must be masters who dealt with Lao Ji, and even a few of us old guys were also in the enemy's calculations..."

After saying that, Lu Botong threw Ye Qingxuan a bronze token and said, "My sign allows you to walk freely in the fort, and you can help you patrol for any foreign invasions. At critical moments, you can also help you a little."

Ye Qingxuan received the order and put away the token. Although Lu Botong asked himself to help deal with the enemy, the action of giving himself token undoubtedly made him more free to move and more convenient to do things.

"When the enemy attacks, you will inevitably encounter enemy masters. To be on the safe side, I will give you some things to protect yourself. Come with me..."

Oh, I have a baby to get it. This is good. Complete the task and give the equipment...

Lu Botong rose up and moved to a bookcase. He reached into the house and found that he had touched some mechanism. With the sound of "rolling", the bookcase on the other side flipped outward, revealing a secret door. There was a staircase rotating downward inside. The design was so clever that it was breathtaking.

Lu Botong led the way and said, "Follow me down."

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped down the stairs.

Ye Qingxuan followed him enthusiastically, walked down the stairs that were more than ten meters long, and came to a basement of more than twenty square meters.

The top of the basement is inlaid with fluorescent crystals, which looks beautiful, but should not be expensive.

Under one wall, four huge wooden boxes are placed side by side, and more than a dozen exquisite wooden boxes are placed on the long table on the other side.

The four walls were hung with strange-shaped objects, like weapons.

Surprisingly, the air in the basement is not stuffy, it is almost as fresh as the air in the room, and it shows that it has good ventilation facilities.
