After dinner, he would always stay in his study after he returned. He would study on how to arrange the twelve guards in the study room so that they could arrange the best positions in the Twelve Confinement Arrays. After looking through the various plans he had considered before, he tried to make more plans.

The Twelve Confinement Arrays had 12 different changes, every change was a new type of formation, and these formations seemed to be completely different, but the truth was that each formation was intertwined, and could also change flexibly at any time, and now, even he was unable to completely master them, so to let the guards completely master them, it was impossible, he could only practice the formations one by one.

The problem was, other than the most basic formations, which formations should he choose for his initial practice?

Once one was immersed in it, one would no longer care about the passage of time.

"Marshal, the light in Ling childe's room is still on."

The guards of bamboo house squatted on the wall between the two courtyards and shouted towards the bamboo house.

On the table, there was a map of the Tan Yang, as well as a detailed topographic map of each and every county of the Tan Yang that Yao Yi had collected using a special method. Among them, there was a map of the Qi County that was tucked in the south and west of the Tan Yang City, which Yuwen Tong had intentionally drawn with a big circle on the table.

Hearing the guard's words, Yuwen Tong put down the map in his hands and looked at the missing mark.

He wanted to get up, but in the end, he did not. Ling Zhang was not a child. He had his own limits when it came to doing things, and he could not be in charge of everything. Before Zhang Chong fell to the ground, it would be hard to let Ling Zhang sleep in peace. It would be better to just leave it to him and let him do some things.

On the morning of the second day, Ling Zhang punctually appeared in nursing home. Following Ling Zhang's instructions, he expanded the number of training field they already had and moved away all the things in the area.

"Eldest Young Master, is today still training tacit understanding?"

"Yes."

Because of what Ling Zhang had said, the guards did not do anything else for the entire day. They were still practicing their coordination with each other.

In the next two days, Ling Zhang trained the guards' tacit understanding.

In the past two days, Yuwen Tong was not at Ling Residence, so Ling Zhang didn't know where he went nor what he went to do. He didn't ask, but if Yuwen Tong wanted to tell him, he would naturally do so. Because Ling Zhaowen had almost been schemed against, he now had three or more servants to accompany him to the magistrate court every day. He never left their sight and was still safe and sound for at least two days.

On this day, Fu Caiwei came over to tell him that the Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop had sent over the remaining two crucial medicinal ingredients, and she had now gathered all of them.

Yuwen Tong is not here right now, and he was not in a hurry to take the medicinal bath, "Second Aunt, thank you for your hard work, I will personally come over to thank you later on."

"Alright, that's right, Senior Yu isn't here for the past two days, do you know where he went?"

Fu Caiwei looked at Ling Zhang, a profound look flickering in her eyes.

Ling Zhang knew what his Second Aunt was thinking about, which was to see if he and Yuwen Tong had a closer relationship, and to see if he could change his mind about annulling the marriage. He did not expose him, so he replied: "He didn't tell me, and I also didn't ask, but the guards said that he will only be gone for a few days."

She was also very satisfied with Yuwen Tong, and felt that her child was the best in everything. She felt that only Yuwen Tong could be worthy of her nephew, but she understood that all of this depended on Ling Zhang's own intentions.

Fu Caiwei left in disappointment. She stood for a while before she returned to the nursing home.

Yesterday, Xia Feng had already returned from Yanzhou, and he had already checked Liu Yi's background, there were no problems.

From today onwards, they would be training the Death Kill Array.

However, things did not progress as smoothly as Ling Zhang had imagined. Just explaining the Confinement Arrays to the twelve guards took half a day's time, and to make them remember every direction, he still had to supplement some basic knowledge of the array.

Ling Zhang had a sullen face the entire morning. No one dared to make a sound, as they too, felt very guilty.

"Eldest Young Master, our brothers are all rough people, we haven't read many books, and we don't know much about this. Look, don't get angry at them. I will definitely let them practice as much as possible and master all of the things that you have taught them. "

Wang Dashan said carefully, afraid that Ling Zhang would fly into a rage.

After taking in a deep breath, Ling Zhang knew that he had not considered this very carefully, "A suspension in the afternoon, I will first teach you the basics of location, location and terrain, and distance measurement. It's not all your fault. Now go and rest, I'll come back in the afternoon. "

The guards all heaved a sigh of relief, Qiu Bing scratched his head and said: "Eldest Young Master, then do we need to prepare ink and brush?"

The others also looked at him with concern. It would be too difficult for them to learn how to read and write, even if they had to brandish their swords and spears!

"No, I'll tell you what to do."

"Okay, Eldest Young Master, we will definitely learn seriously in the afternoon."

Ling Zhang nodded and sent them to rest before calling Wang Dashan and Liu Yi over, "You guys still need to wait for them at night, is that alright?"

"It's fine, we'll take turns to rest at night and rest. Eldest Young Master doesn't need to worry."

Wang Dashan and Liu Yi both said that they would not be affected, but if they really felt tired, they would take the initiative to ask Ling Zhang.

When Ling Zhang saw that they were indeed not lacking in spirit, he did not say anymore, but after leaving the Residence of nursing home, he sent someone to the kitchen to speak with them. In the future, he would have to add some meat dishes at noon every day and give them some oil and water.

Although it was said that Fu Caiwei was the one controlling the room, but Fu Caiwei had long ago said that as long as it was a request from Ling Zhang, even if he spent more money, he would have to fulfill it, so the kitchen immediately agreed.

As expected, there were quite a few types of meat dishes for the meals of the guards at noon. The group of men were all moved to scream out loud.

They were happy, but Ling Zhang wasn't happy. After returning, he ate a simple lunch, and started to draft out the knowledge points he needed to teach the guards, one by one. He didn't get up from the moment he sat down, and only went to nursing home with his things after the appointed time in the afternoon.

"It's enough for Ling childe to be busy for a while. They're a bunch of coarse old men who can't read much, it'll take a lot of effort for them to understand it."

Yao Yi and the other guard who were left to defend on top of the roof of the bamboo house watched the situation on the other side, and grumbled.

"If it were me, I would rather fight with them, than to do such a tiring thing as teaching."

"So, Marshal doesn't like you."

"Pfft — — cough, cough, cough!" Captain, what are you talking about? If the Marshal finds out, it'll be a disaster. "

"The marshal is not here, what's there to be afraid of?"

Yao Yi calmly crossed his arms, looking at the situation in Residence of nursing home, the guards around him quickly looked left and right, afraid that their Marshal would suddenly appear like a spirit from behind them.

The guards were all waiting at the training field on time. When Ling Zhang arrived, everyone was there, and their spirits looked much better than in the morning.

"Don't worry about not being able to learn it. I will explain it all in detail and demonstrate it to you. All you need to do is to put on your brains and focus on studying and thinking."

This was the first thing Ling Zhang said when he came over. He did not need the guards to worry, as long as they earnestly studied this, it would be the best.

The guards all had a certain level of experience in the martial arts world. Although the matter of rehearsing their formation in the morning had made their heads hurt, no one would be lazy to do it in the afternoon when they needed to learn seriously.

This time, Ling Zhang slowed down his pace and patiently explained the most basic of steps first, demonstrating it to them over and over until everyone had a clear concept of this foundation. Only then would he begin to explain the next knowledge point.

Even so, he only taught four basic knowledge points in an afternoon.

When leaving the nursing home, Ling Zhang couldn't help but rub his forehead. He needed to tell himself over and over to not be anxious, but in reality, he was extremely anxious. At this rate, when would he be able to achieve the goal he wanted to achieve?

After bathing, Ling Zhang looked at the arrays that he had chosen on the desk and sighed. He was simply too naive to think that he would be able to teach them three arrays within half a month.

There were still no movements from the bamboo house next door. Yuwen Tong still hadn't returned, so Ling Zhang guessed what he had gone out for. After thinking about it for a while, he was really too tired and directly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, there was movement in the bamboo house. Yao Yi immediately noticed the person who had arrived, "Marshal, you're back."

Yuwen Tong nodded, "How is Ling Residence's situation in these three days?"

Yao Yi described the situation of the Ling Residence s during these few days, focusing on two things. One, he had finished matching up all of Ling Zhang's medicinal ingredients, and secondly, the process of Ling Zhang's training during the day.

After hearing that Ling Zhang had taught those guards four basic knowledge points in an afternoon, Yuwen Tong frowned. "Those people are too stupid."

"That's right. The foolish subordinates don't even have the chance to see it. Fortunately, the young master patiently taught them. With their current strength, how could they possibly stand up against the wall?"

Yuwen Tong pondered for a while, then asked, "He also stayed up very late tonight?"

"No, Young Master is probably tired and rested early today."

"A bunch of trash." Yuwen Tong cursed again, his expression already extremely cold.

Seeing that he was really angry, Yao Yi did not dare to say more.

"He'll let me know when he goes out tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

After changing into some night clothes, Yuwen Tong washed his face and rinsed his mouth. He sat behind his desk and thought for a while before opening a piece of paper, taking out a brush and ink and starting to draw the Twelve Confinement Arrays's matrix diagram s. Out of the eight blueprints, he picked out two of them.

Then he drew a big circle on a blank piece of paper and drew on it with a pen.
