Leaving the quadrangle courtyard, Xu Haifeng raised his head and looked up at the sky. The air on the high mountain is much fresher than in the city.
With his extraordinary spiritual awareness, he has a deep feeling about this. Here, he seems to be able to enter the state of unity with nature more easily. His response to various natural forces is also much easier.
Sometimes he would inexplicably produce a kind of absurd idea to abandon all worldly things and cultivate himself in solitude for the rest of his life, just to see how far he could go.
Although he knew it was an absolute impossibility, at least not something he could do now. Yet those thoughts still flashed in his mind like a runaway wild horse.
"Master, what's wrong?" Jiang Gongming asked in surprise, seeing Xu Haifeng with a thoughtful expression.
"There's nothing." Xu Haifeng didn't share his thoughts with him. Jiang Kongming was indeed extremely intelligent, but after all, he wasn't the kind of person who could understand this realm, and naturally couldn't comprehend its subtleties. Moreover, in that brain full of utilitarianism, he would probably sneer at his own epiphany.
Since Xu Haifeng was unwilling to speak clearly, Jiang Kongming didn't force him either. He furrowed his brow and said: "Master, apart from the Blood Wine Warriors, I also did the same treatment for those Blood Wine Warhorses."
It was only natural that he would nod his head in agreement. Given Jiang Gongming's personality, if he had thought of the Blood Wine Warrior's inheritance, there was no reason for him not to think of the Blood Wine Warhorse as well.
However, horses are not like humans and have a very short growth cycle. Jiang Gongming has obviously achieved something and it's only now that he's brought it out to show off.
Those little horses are indeed extraordinary, although they can't be compared to their parents for the time being. However, if nothing unexpected happens, when they grow up, they will become a batch of fine horses that are in no way inferior to the first generation of Blood-Wine Warhorses.
"Oh... isn't it inferior to the first generation?" Xu Haifeng asked in surprise.
Just now heard Jiang Kongming's tone, the fighting strength of the second-generation blood wine warriors will be slightly inferior to that of their parents. Why didn't the second-generation blood wine war horses undergo such a change?
Jiang Kungming smiled wryly and said, "I don't know the reason myself, but I suppose it's because humans and beasts are different."
There's a difference between humans and beasts, this explanation is quite creative. Xu Haifeng couldn't help but laugh, and didn't take it to heart anymore.
The blood wine war horse is fierce, but after all, it's just a beast. However, the legacy of the Blood Wine Warrior is completely different.
When Xu Haifeng first heard about this matter, he had a thousand thoughts in his mind and didn't know what to think.
After a day of rushing and negotiating, the sun had already moved westward. Jiang Kongming looked up at the sky and suddenly remembered something, so he quickly pulled Xu Haifeng to walk forward with him.
His footsteps were quick, and Xu Haifeng didn't need to be said, no matter how he turned east and west, Xu Haifeng was always close behind.
They soon arrived in front of another row of residences. Jiang Kongming was very familiar with this place.
Because everything was arranged by him. He naturally knew that there was no one inside, so he randomly selected a house and pushed the door open.
Inside, as expected, there was no one, only the furniture and floor were quite clean, apparently someone had been sweeping regularly.
The houses on the mountain were all designed and built by Chiang Kai-shek himself. Although the rooms are not spacious, the facilities inside are complete.
Xu Haifeng's gaze swept across the room, and the most eye-catching thing by the bed was two light blue wardrobes. Xu Haifeng immediately understood that this house was not prepared for the soldiers of the Black Flag Army.
Those iron-blooded warriors who don't know what enjoyment is, simply do not need to be equipped with such a large wardrobe. So, it's clear for whom these houses were built without asking.
For the continuation of the next generation of the Black Flag Army, Jiang Kung-ming had indeed made early plans. These buildings were all specially prepared for these women and their children in the future.
If this time with the Fourth Legion of Bancroft is not a great victory, and these women are discovered, then Jiang Kongming will have to think of another way. It's estimated that even if all the poor women in the Western Camp and Wulong City were exhausted, they would still have to guarantee the number of people here.
Looking at Xu Haifeng, Jiang Kongming suddenly had a smile all over his face.
Xu Haifeng felt a chill in his heart and almost turned to leave. This smile, he was too familiar with it, every time Jiang Kongming had ulterior motives, his face would have this expression.
"General, please speak your mind."
It's probably impossible to hide, so it's better to face it calmly.
Jiang Kongming's face didn't change color, he just pulled out an object from his pocket.
Xu Haifeng's face changed slightly, and he was even more unfamiliar with this object, which turned out to be a blood sampler.
"General, it seems that Xu had said before, since entering the realm of the sect master, he has lost the special ability to replenish blood with wine. Moreover, with the great war imminent, Xu also doesn't want any unexpected things."
Jiang Kongming's expression was unmistakable - he was drooling over the demonic blood on Xu Haifeng's body.
Xu Haifeng bluntly and directly refused, shutting down Jiang Kongming's intention with one sentence, leaving no room for discussion.
If it were an ordinary day, Jiang Kongming would have retreated long ago if Xu Haifeng spoke in such a decisive tone.
However, today, Jiang Kongming still smiled and said: "If the students didn't remember incorrectly, Master has become a master for three months now."
Xu Haifeng's expression changed, from the fall of the capital this spring to the battle in the north and now the great victory on the western front. In just three short months, so many things had happened.
This year is really a lot of things autumn, and it seems that it will continue to go on.
Whether it is Taiyuan's war to seize the Central Plains or Caesar's army pressing the border, they are destined to start a war this year.
He nodded slightly and said cautiously: "Indeed it has been more than three months, the military advisor's memory is really good."
As for Xu Haifeng's sarcastic remarks, Jiang Kongming ignored them and smiled to himself: "Master, do you know why new blood is produced after a person loses blood?"
Xu Haifeng was indeed very interested in this principle, and although he knew that continuing to discuss it with him would probably lead to no good, he still asked: "Why?"
Jiang Kongming smiled and said with a pleased expression: "There are many types of blood cells in the human body, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, etc. They all have a lifespan, ranging from three months to one and a half days, and they are constantly being renewed and replaced in the body. In fact, these blood cells all originate from a type of stem cell called hematopoietic stem cells."
"...This hematopoietic stem cell has a high ability to self-renew and self-replicate, and also has strong regenerative ability. Once the body loses blood, it can stimulate the bone marrow to accelerate hematopoiesis, and only need seven days to half a month to recover to its original level."
Xu Haifeng felt as if he was in a fog, and if it wasn't for his keen intuition picking up on the genuine tone of Jiang Kongming's words, he would have really thought that he was just talking nonsense.
What about red and white blood cells, and blue, yellow, and black ones?
He muttered to himself, and then Jiang Kongming stretched out his fingers one by one: "Within a certain period of time, periodic blood loss has great benefits. First, it can alleviate high viscosity syndrome; second, it can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease; third, it can reduce the occurrence of cancer. Cancer, you know? I suppose you don't understand, it's a...
Xu Haifeng suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him from his lengthy and grandiose speech, and sneered: "So there are so many benefits to fixed blood loss? I wonder if it also has the effect of prolonging one's life?"
Jiang Kongming's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he said: "So the master also knew, right? The lifespan of regular blood donors is indeed about 5 years longer than that of non-donors."
Xu Haifeng was suddenly speechless, looking at Jiang Kongming's eyes filled with helplessness. This Jiang Da Junshi's face was so thick that it was unprecedented. His own sarcastic words, he didn't know how to shamelessly use them to make a fuss.
What else can you do if you don't want to argue with someone like this?
He let out a deep sigh and said, "Military Strategist sir, you don't have to say any more. I already know the principles you're talking about."
Jiang Kung-ming exclaimed, "Ah!", and said: "Your humble student only knows that you, sir, are a master of all knowledge, knowing everything under the sun."
Upon hearing these obviously perfunctory flattering words, Xu Haifeng shook his head and sighed, saying: "I knew it, if you're not satisfied today, you'll absolutely not let this matter drop."
He stretched out his right hand and said, "Take as much as you want."
Jiang Kongming was overjoyed and said, "My lord is wise." He happily stepped forward, skillfully drew a small bag of blood, and immediately stopped.
Xu Haifeng was slightly surprised, his master's name wasn't called in vain, this little blood loss didn't mean anything to him. He thought Jiang Kongming would take advantage of this rare opportunity to extract more. Unexpectedly, Jiang Kongming only took a small amount of blood this time, the least among all the times.
"Is that enough?"
"It's enough..."
Jiang Kongming said with satisfaction: "In any case, blood wine is our greatest reliance, and a certain amount of storage is necessary. One quarter at a time, that's four bags of blood per year."
It was originally once a quarter, and if the amount of blood drawn each time is this standard, then this frequency is not unbearable.
He let out a long sigh and said, "Now is wartime, the loss of the Black Flag Army is inevitable. However, with these demon blood in hand, it can make up for a certain number of casualties of the Black Flag Army soldiers. Before their next generation grows up, these blood wines are necessary strategic reserves."
Xu Haifeng was taken aback, and the slight dissatisfaction in his heart immediately dissipated.
In fact, Xu Haifeng was so confident and bold to let Jiang Kongming take charge, it was because he firmly believed that he would not harm himself, if it were someone else, naturally, he would never be so easy-going.
However, in this world, except for Jiang Gongming, I'm afraid no one else will remember his blood.
