Small, densely packed houses, looking like many ancient buildings, with wooden balconies and windows, each household has a pot of ornamental flowers on display, although they are all inexpensive varieties, but even if no one takes care of them, they can still thrive.

  The house is surrounded by high walls, on which some rugged rocks are erected. The blade edge is polished to be as thin as paper. If an unsuspecting person touches it lightly, the skin will break and the flesh will burst in an instant.

  In the center of the house is a high tower with a large telescope on top that attracts attention.

  Pointing to the newly built walls, Jiang Kongming said with a hint of pride: "These women may be physically strong, but they are no match for men. The high tower has someone patrolling non-stop for twelve hours a day. Unless something unexpected happens, they will definitely not escape."

  Xu Haifeng nodded repeatedly, but his face was quite strange.

  He naturally knew that those women in Jiang Kungming's mouth were the group of women who were personally escorted up the mountain by Erhu.

  These women were spoils of war gathered by Bancroft's Fourth Legion from various occupied territories, and in the end they still ended up being a bargain for the Black Flag Army.

  As for Jiang Gongming's order to escort these women to the Taihang Mountains, the high-ranking officials in Wulong City did not raise any objections.

  They all knew that the Taihang Mountains were the lair of the Black Flag Army, where there were nearly 10,000 strong men hiding inside for more than a year without any movement.

  Now they have made great contributions, it is also reasonable for them to show off with these spoils of war.

  Even Xu Haifeng would not be blamed for such a thing.

  These women's lives may be pitiful, but their fates are already sealed. In this chaotic world, no one can change their destinies, and even Xu Haifeng wouldn't bother to do something so thankless.

  Perhaps sending them to a brothel would be the best release for them, but it's hard to say.

  These women's looks are all above the standard, and there are several who can be called top-notch. Among those big shots in Wudang City, although a few people were quite tempted by these women's beauty, as soon as they thought of Jiang Kungming, they immediately retreated. In the end, more than a thousand of these women arrived at the mountain without exception.

  However, Xu Haifeng, who knew the inside story of the Black Flag Army, was extremely surprised. The generals and soldiers of the Black Flag Army were different from others, their energy was vigorous, but they didn't need to use this method to vent.

  Jiang Kungming must have done this for some other purpose.

  To his chief advisor, Xu Haifeng had always been straightforward: "Military strategist, you brought them to the mountain, won't it be because you took pity on their miserable lives and wanted to do a good deed?"

  Jiang Kongming shook his head repeatedly and said, "The student is not a great good person, this kind of thing that has no benefits at all will absolutely not be done."

  "Since it's not like that, then......" A ridiculous idea suddenly surged into Xu Haifeng's mind, and he blurted out: "Could it be that it was really prepared for the Black Flag Army?"

  "Right," said Chiang K'ung-ming gravely, "it is for these murder machines that we have made our preparations."

  Xu Haifeng's face was solemn, and although the soldiers of the Black Flag Army also had this aspect, they didn't have an absolute need for it. This extra service might not necessarily be a blessing for the Black Flag Army either.

  This principle should be well known to Jiang Gongming, but he still did so, then his intention is obvious.

  "The next generation?" There was a hint of uncertainty in Xu Haifeng's voice.

  "It's true, these women came here to cultivate a new generation of Blood Wine Warriors." Jiang Kongming smiled and said: "Although I don't know how they will grow up, some of their characteristics can be inherited."

  Xu Haifeng turned his head to look at him, and suddenly had an epiphany in his heart. He said: "Two years ago, Wenyin bought four maids for you, but within a few days, they disappeared without a trace. From then on, everyone knew that General Jiang was not close to women. Even Xu thought that those four maids were unlucky. But... seeing it today, it seems that the general had planned this long ago."

  Jiang Kongming was taken aback, and with a slightly awkward smile, he showed an expression that was rare for someone as thick-skinned as him.

  "As you didn't ask about it, Master, I took the liberty of handling this small matter myself."

  Xu Haifeng knew that this person was cautious in his actions, and since he had brought these women to the mountain with such fanfare, with such a definite attitude, even grasping at the idea that certain characteristics could be inherited.

  Then there can be only one explanation, he had seen the new generation of Blood Wine Warriors long ago.

  "A new Blood Wine Warrior was born."

  "Not many, just four."

  Since Xie Haifeng had already guessed it, Jiang Kungming simply didn't hide it anymore. He raised his hand and beckoned, saying: "Master, please follow me."

  Xu Haifeng followed him to a separate siheyuan, Jiang Kongming was familiar with it and didn't greet anyone, he directly pushed the door open and entered.

  Four gloomy gazes floated over, with two black flag soldiers standing guard inside. Seeing the two of them, they only took a slight glance and then ignored them.

  Jiang Kungming walked into the side room, and the people inside looked up in surprise.

  It was a sixteen or seventeen year old girl, idly embroidering flowers, who heard the noise and hastily stood up, bowing her head and saying: "Master."

  Jiang Kung-ming responded with a non-committal "en", and asked: "What about Ah Tai and the others?"

  "Playing with Mrs. Li in the backyard."

  "Call them over."

  It is...

  The girl didn't dare to delay, bowed and immediately went out. Just a moment later, a fifty-year-old old woman came in with several women and four children in a hurry.

  Xu Haifeng's gaze swept across the old woman's face, and he understood that this was the nanny Jiang Koming had invited to take care of the child, so he didn't bother with her anymore.

  It was only when their gaze fell on the few small children that a look of surprise immediately appeared, and he hesitated to turn his head, looking at Jiang Kongming.

  Jiang Kongming nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, it was those four."

  Xu Haifeng's expression changed slightly, and judging from the time, those four maidservants were sent to Jiang Kongming two years ago. Even if he had this intention at that time, the Blood Wine Warriors gave him face. So, counting up to ten months of pregnancy, these children are at most only a little over one year old.

  But looking at their height and build, they didn't seem like children over a year old. If Xu Haifeng hadn't known that Jiang Kungming would never deceive him, he really thought he had brought in a few three or four-year-old kids to swindle him.

  "Get out, leave the kid behind." Jiang Kongming ordered coldly.

  Those women did not dare to hesitate, they were extremely afraid of Jiang Kongming in their hearts and did not dare to disobey his will. Although some were reluctant to part with their own flesh and blood, they still did not dare to stay and walked out.

  However, surprisingly, these children did not seem to care about their mothers' departure and remained calm, apparently without much attachment to them, which is quite different from ordinary children.

  Xu Haifeng furrowed his brow, judging from the performance of the four of them just now, they really gave people a somewhat stupid feeling, could it be that they were all idiots?

  Xu Haifeng took a few steps forward, but unexpectedly saw the four of them simultaneously raise their heads and look around. In their eyes, there was not a hint of innocence or naivety, but rather a faintly discernible air of vigilance, with a whiff of danger.

  He stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Jiang Kongming, these children were not idiots, but their behavior was absolutely beyond the bounds of normal reason.

  "These few children, the oldest is one year and one month old, the youngest is only eleven months old. Among them are three boys and one girl, they have many commonalities, or rather - places that inspire fear."

  Jiang Kungming's voice echoed eerily in the room, and with his voice, the air seemed to have an extra layer of chill.

  "Ah Dai, come here." Jiang Kongming beckoned with his hand.

  The tallest boy immediately stepped forward and firmly grasped Jiang Kongming's outstretched right hand.

  Xu Haifeng's eyebrows rose, and a strange feeling surged up in his heart. All along, the Blood Wine Warriors had been at his beck and call, and in his impression, it seemed that a fixed notion had already taken shape.

  However, these children of the Blood Wine Warriors clearly do not have this crucial trait; their loyalty can be said to no longer be unconditionally devoted to themselves.

  "After they were born, they received the best care. For the first three months, their performance was no different from that of ordinary children, but after three months, their special features gradually emerged."

  Jiang Kongming said in a low voice, his tone deep and powerful: "First of all, their height has soared, at least one head taller than children of the same age. At the same time, their strength, agility, and reaction speed are even more superior to their height. Even if it's an ordinary five or six-year-old child competing with them individually, they may not necessarily win stably."

  "Are they really strong enough to defeat a five or six year old child?"

  "It's not entirely true." Jiang Kongming paused for a moment, saying: "If we only consider physical strength, 5 or 6-year-old children are still above them. However, apart from their exceptional physical abilities, their endurance, attention span and judgment are not comparable to those of children of that age."

  "Do they feel pain?" Xǔ Hǎifēng suddenly thought of something and asked.

  "There is." Jiang Kongming said affirmatively: "But it's not obvious."

  "So that's how it is." Xǔ Hǎifēng suddenly understood his meaning.

  Five or six year old children already know pain, but their strength is not great, so the harm caused is naturally smaller. When encountering these insensitive children, they will be at a disadvantage when fighting each other.

  "After a year of observation, the students concluded that these children have some special abilities similar to those of the Blood Warriors, namely strength, endurance, concentration and strong discipline. At the same time, they also possess special abilities that the Blood Warriors do not have, that is, coordination awareness, in other words, their team consciousness is extremely strong, if this characteristic can be retained, it will play a crucial role in large-scale battles in the future."

  "Cooperation consciousness? General Military Advisor, aren't you exaggerating a bit, they're only one year old." Xǔ Hǎi Fēng said in surprise.

  "Otherwise, it can be seen in many small places that they have a very high degree of trust between them, just like... just like twins. Ah, yes!" Jiang Kongming clapped his hands heavily and said: "Just like twins with spiritual connection, if they can still do this after growing up, then only 10,000 people would be enough to counter Bankroft's Fourth Legion."

  "Is it one against five?" Xu Haifeng whispered, if that's the case, their actual combat ability is likely to be inferior to the Blood Wine Warriors.

  Taking a slight pause, Jiang Kongming said: "Apart from this, they are as calm and silent as the Blood Wine Warriors... no, it should be reclusive. They are equally not good at communicating with people."

  "Can Blood Wine really be inherited?" Xu Haifeng muttered: "Can they be passed down forever?"

  After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Kongming said: "If we look at it from the traditional medical perspective, even if the Blood Warriors can inherit their abilities, they will become less and less powerful due to the decreasing proportion of blood wine in their bodies. If the Blood Lord's power is just a form of energy, then once that energy is depleted, all his special abilities will be gone."

  Although he knew nothing about these terms, Xu Haifeng still understood what he said. He furrowed his brow and asked, "So, how many generations can they inherit?"

  "It's not necessarily so, but if we're lucky, it might be passed down forever." Jiang Kongming suddenly revealed a big smile.

  Xu Haifeng was perplexed and looked at him with a questioning gaze, wondering if he had misunderstood his meaning.

  "Master shouldn't have forgotten, students are from a different world after all."

  "This kind of thing, I reckon no one will ever forget." Xu Haifeng glanced at him, if he even forgot this, was he still human?

  Jiang Kongming smiled slightly and said, "In the world where the students came from, science occupies a dominant position. In that world, everything must be based on science. Take blood wine for example, if viewed from the perspective of modern science, what changes is not the ability of the Blood Warriors and Blood Horses, but their genes."

  "Genes?" Although he was a master, Xu Haifeng still had no idea what this meant. He had heard Jiang Kongming mention the term "genes" many times before, but he still didn't understand its meaning.

  "Not bad, genes are the most important factor in determining whether a person is intelligent, strong, and healthy. " Jiang Kongming said seriously: "Genes, they also have a very special ability, that is self-replication. According to student estimates, as long as these Blood Wine Warriors' descendants do not mix blood too much, then certain characteristics can be preserved forever, no matter how many generations."

  "Because, according to modern scientific theory, some genes possess strong and even irreplaceable properties. If the blood wine altered by the main lord is precisely this type of strong and irreplaceable gene, then no matter whether it's a Blood Wine Warrior or a Blood Wine Warhorse, their offspring will not be able to undergo any changes regardless of how they are mixed."

  "Genes? What a wonderful thing." Xǔ Hǎifēng sighed deeply.

  Jiang Kongming smiled and said, in fact, there were many more reasons, but he didn't say them out loud. Even if he explained a hundred times more, Xu Haifeng still wouldn't understand. This wasn't because of any difference in their intelligence, but rather the difference in their knowledge base, which had been shaped by what they had learned since childhood, creating an unbridgeable gap between them.

  The new generation of Blood Warriors inherited it from the sperm of their parents.

  Even with today's technological advancements, it is still impossible to detect whether there is energy in the sperm of a man.

  If the sperm of the Blood Wine Warriors did not contain energy, then what they provided to their descendants was just information.

  A sperm with its own information, wandering into the ovum of those reproductive machines, can finally decide what kind of offspring to produce.

  Xu Haifeng uses the Blood Wine to transform the Blood Wine Warriors, a transformation that is instantly successful, and from then on these warriors bear his mark. Moreover, they will not lose control due to the continuous consumption and dilution of the Blood Wine's energy.

  Blood wine's change, no need for a second time.

  This means that Blood Wine changes Blood Warriors by their genes, rather than simply providing them with some kind of energy.

  Since the change is in the genes, it can be determined that the Blood Wine will definitely affect the genetic information of the Blood Wine Warrior and the Blood Wine Horse to some extent.

  If this gene is truly dominant and irreplaceable, then no matter how many generations pass, the Bloodwine Warriors will not become extinct.

  As for these principles, Jiang Kongming only knew them in his heart, but did not declare them orally, because he knew that in this world, apart from him, there would never be a second person who knew this information.

  "General, where is their loyalty?" Xǔ Hǎi Fēng pondered for a moment before asking the most crucial question.

  Jiang Kongming smiled and said: "Time."

  "What time?"

  "It's all right. Although their loyalty can't be compared to that of the true Blood Wine Warriors, as long as you genuinely interact with them, they will definitely accept you." Jiang Kongming said calmly.

  "So, their loyalty is no different from that of ordinary troops?" asked Xu Haifeng.

  "It's not certain, after all they are still young, and at this point in time, it's hard to tell the specific situation. The only thing that can be confirmed is that they get along quite well with each other, but once they encounter other kids, they immediately ignore them. However, if you spend a bit more time with them, you should be able to gain their friendship."

  Xu Haifeng nodded slightly and took a deep breath.

  Just as he was still worried about the two forces of Caesar and Xiongnu, Jiang Gongming had already considered the next generation, and even the next generation, for his Xu Dynasty.

  Such a person is worthy of being called the number one under heaven.
