Chapter 396 [You understand this too?]

Chen Daolin was thinking about the origin of the name "Lu Gao", but Lu Gao no longer looked at Chen Daolin. Instead, he turned around and unbuttoned the reins of the horse and glanced at Chen Daolin: "What are you still standing there? Do you want me to treat you?"

Chen Daolin's face froze and said with a wry smile: "That... Mr. Lu Gao, I still have a lot of things to deal with at home. Such a big career is just starting, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while. Look... If you take me away like this..."

Lu Gao smiled strangely and his voice was harsh: "Do you think you have room for rejection?"

Chen Daolin was choked and couldn't speak. After a long time of breath, he let out: "Even if you want to leave... you have to tell me where to go and how long will it take?"

"It's hard to say very much." Lu Gao shook his head: "If it goes well, maybe one or two months, if it doesn't go well, I'm afraid it's three or five months. But don't worry, it won't last more than half a year at most."

Half a year?

Chen Daolin's face suddenly collapsed.

What a joke!

There are so many things at home, the plan of church expansion, the distribution of teaching land, and various measures that win people's hearts must be presided over by themselves! Also... Captain Hook was sent by himself to do important things, and his days were almost back... What should I do if I am not at home by then?!

Can a big stall with more than 10,000 people be thrown away? It takes only half a year to leave?

But seeing that Lu Gao had no room to discuss with him. If he objected, he would be afraid that he would faint again and force him away!

Chen Daolin only cared about his anger, but did not notice that when Lu Gao said the sentence "It will not exceed half a year at most", a faint sense of ignorance flashed in his eyes...

"Okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense to you, so let's go." Lu Gao pointed to the horse beside him: "Are you going on the horse by yourself, or am I going to 'help' you?"

Chen Daolin was about to cry but no longer cried.

Do these peerless masters like to be kidnappers so much?!!!

Go up and turn on the horse...

However, although Lu Gao had a strange temperament, he still made a little concession.

After the two of them rode together on a horse and set off again, they walked in the wilderness all night. When it was almost dawn, they came to a small town.

When Chen Daolin arrived at this town, he found out after asking the people that this place was no longer the territory of the Nulin Province. Instead, it had reached the territory of the Tulip Family.

More importantly, this place is less than twenty miles away from Loulan City, the capital of the Tulip Family.

In this small town, Lu Gao bought two more horses - Tulips has never shortage of horses in the northwest because they have been doing business with grassland aliens all year round.

The two horses I bought had very good foot strength. Chen Daolin finally didn't have to ride a horse with this old monster. And Lu Gao also made a concession and agreed to Chen Daolin's request.

Chen Daolin found a mercenary group station in the town - the territory of the Tulip Family. There are dozens of mercenary groups of all sizes. It can be said that the territory of the Tulip Family is a paradise for mercenary groups to survive in the entire Roland Empire. In the territory of the Tulip Family, many large and small towns have mercenary associations. The mercenary industry business here is also extremely developed.

Chen Daolin found the garrison of the mercenary guild, spent a commission fee, and made a commission.

The content of the commission is very simple. Ask someone to send a letter to his own territory and hand it over to teams of all sizes who are staying at home.

Chen Daolin found a lounge at the Mercenary Guild's garrison and spent two hours writing a very long letter.

The letter told me that I had to go out for a while if I had an urgent matter, from at least one or two months to six months. Then I wrote down all the plans he had prepared for sitting on the horse's back last night.

The church expansion steps, the distribution of teaching property, and the development of various industries were written roughly. After writing, Chen Daolin read it carefully several times and made some modifications to several details. Then he carefully put the letter away.

He was a magician. In order to keep it secret, he added a magic mark to the letter and left a line of code words on his belief that only Lodell and others could understand.

As long as the letter is handed over to Lodell, this Liszt girl can also have some magic, and she can completely open her magic mark - but if the letter falls into someone else's hands, if she wants to peek, the letter will immediately burn it.

The mercenary guild in the Tulips' territory has a good reputation. Chen Daolin entrusted the letter to the mercenary guild with confidence. Lu Gao always stood by and watched coldly. Seeing Chen Daolin sighing and frowning, the strange man snorted coldly, took out something like a gold coin from his arms, and threw it coldly to the person in charge of receiving the mercenary guild, and said coldly in a sharp voice: "This matter must be handled properly. If something goes wrong, you will know the consequences."

The receptionist was already very polite to Chen Daolin, but when he saw the gold coin thrown by Lu Gao, his face suddenly changed drastically. The originally polite attitude was ten times respectful! He nodded and bent down and bowed, almost almost kneeling down!

Chen Daolin's eyes were sharp and saw that there seemed to be a tulip pattern on the gold coin...

"What do you think?" Lu Gao said coldly: "This is the thing given to me by the boy from the Tulip family back then. In the northwest, you can walk sideways with this thing. People from these mercenary guilds make a living by looking at the Tulip family's face. If you show this thing, they will never dare to neglect your entrustment, let alone make a mistake - Okay, you can rest assured now!"

Chen Daolin breathed a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled bitterly: "Thank you."

"Hmph, I hate you the most." Lu Gao shook his head: "You were forcibly brought by me. I said thank you, but I might even scold me in my heart."

Chen Daolin's nose is not the nose, eyes are not the eyes, and he just couldn't help thinking in his heart: This guy is simply a dog-tempered person. How did this old monster with a weird temperament survive to this day?

After resting in this town for a long time, the two of them set off again.

Chen Daolin couldn't help asking several times along the way, where Lu Gao would take him and what he would do.

But Lu Gao was weird, but he seemed to have an impatient look. Chen Daolin asked seven or eight questions, and this guy only replied with three or five words. If Chen Daolin asked too much, the old monster pointed at him casually, and Chen Daolin would become a mute and could not speak for a long time.

After a few times, Chen Daolin simply stopped asking.

Anyway, this guy is said to have been entrusted by Du Wei, so... I have received Du Wei's gift, I think this guy will never harm me.

But what happened next was completely beyond Chen Daolin's expectations!

After Lu Gao and Chen Daolin left the town, their speed of traveling completely slowed down!

The two of them rode their horses calmly, but went straight toward Loulan City, the base camp of the Tulips!

In the evening, the outline of Loulan City had already appeared in sight.

This bustling city in the northwest is actually not as tall and majestic as imagined.

Although it was also built according to the imperial standard city, the city walls seemed to be far from as high as the imperial capital.

But Chen Daolin only glanced at it and saw a little difference!

The walls of this Loulan City are not circular castles like most of the cities of the Roland Empire. Instead, they adopt a standard castle structure!

Chen Daolin knew very well that this prismatic fortifications was the pinnacle of the development of military fortifications in the era of cold weapons wars! In the real world, even in the early days of the Rewu era, this prismatic fortress city wall system could still play a strong defensive role!

It can be said that the structure of the bastion is a masterpiece of the pinnacle of military defense in cold weapon wars!

Chen Daolin didn't even have to think about it to be sure that this kind of bastion structure must have been created by Du Wei.

Du Wei really put a lot of thought into his own base camp!

A prismatic bastion is a type of ancient fortress. Its essence is to turn the city block from a convex polygon into a concave polygon. Such improvements allow the attacking party to be exposed to more than one prismatic bastion surface, and the attacking party will be subjected to cross-fire counterattacks from several aspects at the same time. This greatly increases the difficulty of the attack!

Chen Daolin sat on the horse and carefully looked at the city defense system of this Loulan City. The more he looked, the more he became more and more ecstatic. In the end, he didn't even hear the sound of Lu Gao shouting to him beside him.

"You're dumb?" Lu Gao snorted coldly, finally awakening Chen Daolin, and heard Lu Gao say coldly: "Do you also understand the beauty of this city defense?"

Chen Daolin was manipulated by this guy along the way, and he was already full of anger in his heart. After hearing this, he shouted: "Why don't I understand? Humph! Isn't it just a bastion? Isn't it a concave line? If someone attacks, he will be counterattacked by two or three sides... Humph!"

"Huh?" Lu Gao's eyes seemed to lit up: "Do you actually understand some military strategies?"

Chen Daolin smiled proudly, looking at Lu Gao's surprised expression, his self-esteem that had been aggrieved for many days, and sneered proudly: "Isn't it just a bastion? Humph... Although this thing is very good, it is not difficult to break it!"

"oh?"

This time Lu Gao really developed a strong sense of curiosity: "Do you actually have a way to break through this kind of bastion?"

"Of course." Chen Daolin rolled his eyes.

After this bastion was invented in the real world, it once played a magical and powerful role in the early wars of the era of cold weapons and gunpowder. The strong defense of the bastion made the power balance between the city guards and the attacking bastion three to five times higher than that before the invention of the bastion! In other words, after the invention of the bastion, it would take three to five times more troops to conquer the new defense system of the bastion, which would cost three to five times more troops than before! This loss ratio is generally difficult for an attacking bastion to bear.

Lu Gao's expression became a little weird!

He looked at Chen Daolin, then looked at the wall of the Loulan City in the distance...

After a while, Lu Gao suddenly shouted loudly, kicked the horse in the stomach hard, speeding up the speed, and the two of them headed towards Loulan City!

In the evening, Loulan City is indeed the most prosperous city in the northwest. The city gates are still crowded with people, and there are still many caravans transporting vehicles and horses. After entering the city, I saw colorful shops on both sides of the street, with many types of doors from south to north. It was clear that the sky was almost dark, but there were still many pedestrians on the street.

Chen Daolin couldn't help but compare Loulan City and Mulan City. It is also a capital city with a provincial scale, but if it reaches this time of day, there are almost no pedestrians on the street.

But Lu Gao seemed to have no idea what kind of temperament he had, so he took Chen Daolin into the city, walked through several streets, and came to a large hotel, dismounted his horse and threw the horse to the servant at the door. Then Lu Gao threw a gold coin and threw it directly into the hands of a guy who came out to welcome guests: "Two big rooms! Hurry! A secluded place!"

The hotel servant who was welcoming guests was full of joy and soon led the two into the store to go upstairs. At the innermost part of a corridor on the second floor, he opened two large rooms for them.

Chen Dao couldn't help but smile when he entered the room. The hotel room in Loulan City was actually a bit similar to the hotel room layout in the real world - this was not the same as that of Du Wei back then.

But Lu Gao seemed very impatient. After the servant left, he pressed Chen Daolin to the table and sat down.

Then the guy grabbed a few pieces of paper and pen from the table, stared at him and shouted, "Boy! You said on the way that you have a way to overcome such a bastion? Tell me your way! If you talk nonsense, I will definitely deal with you!"

Huh?

Chen Daolin was stunned, but he didn't expect that this strange master named Lu Gao was so interested in things like leverage?

Although the stolen castle is a very powerful military defense system in the early days of cold weapons and gunpowder, it is nothing in front of a perverted master like you, Lu Gao.

You can't stop the master of the holy level in the powerful bastion!

But why, Lu Gao's expression seemed to have been poked at a G-spot? Could it be that this holy master has also suffered a loss from a bastion?

This is impossible...

Chen Daolin thought suspiciously, but he didn't know that his guess was infinitely close to the facts...

Lu Gao... has really suffered from the loss of the brink!

To be precise, it was the loss of the guy who had made a bastion in this world - the first Duke of Tulip, Du Wei!

A big loss!

"What are you doing while standing there! Say it quickly!" Lu Gao snorted impatiently, with an obvious anger in his voice.
