Chapter 077: The Post-War Meeting (I)

The convoy did not encounter any more monsters on the Baili Grain Road, and it was already evening when they arrived in Fangcheng, and there were many ragged people outside the city wall, who were deserters who came back on their own.

The men were sandwiched between the sides of the trench bridge, kneeling on their knees facing the convoy, their heads bowed. The battlefield they went to together, they left blood and sweat together, some people came back as heroes, and some people became cowards and begged for forgiveness.

A chubby figure jumped from the gatehouse, it was Longji Zhenren, "Those who escaped, belong to three hundred and seventy-eight people, please dispose of the sect master." Of the more than 700 deserters, only half survived, and the rest perished.

"Are there any bitten people?"

"Screened out. ”

"Let them in later. ”

"Yes. ”

The convoy passed the trench bridge, and someone spat on the kneeling man, "Phew! ”

The scolding was an outsider. He was ashamed of the fact that many of the outsiders had banded together to fight against the aborigines in order to be treated fairly, but many of them had deserted during the most difficult time of the battle.

The gates were wide open, and the roads were crowded with people, and the whole city came out to meet them. The convoy slowly drove in.

On the one hand, he held his head high and enjoyed praise and applause, and on the other hand, he was discriminated against and white-eyed. Zhang Jiabao remembered his uncle's experience, once he made a wrong choice, it was difficult to have dignity and glory for life. Eight white people were pointed at by the residents of Fangcheng like criminals on the streets.

Two hundred chickens were slaughtered in the city, and a great feast was prepared to reward the warriors. Fuyaozi asked Longji and Wulai to arrange the treatment of the wounded, and Zhang Luo rewarded him for his meritorious deeds. The warriors who insisted until the last moment, those who wanted to marry a wife and concubine were promised a woman, and those who wanted meat were given meat food. As for those deserters, they have made great achievements in carrying their lives to the battle, and they have made great mistakes in fleeing in fear of battle, and they will not be rewarded or punished.

After eating a big meal, the warriors went to sleep, two days and one night without meeting their eyes, long journeys and high-intensity battles, extremely sleepy. Zhang Jiabao: The same is true for them.

Fuyaozi and the real people didn't care about resting, they had a lot of things to discuss, and they all gathered in the conference hall.

Fuyaozi looked around at the fifteen real people present and sighed, "Two old friends are missing." ”

The two True Realm monks who died in battle, one was a female cultivator in her eighties, and the other was a male cultivator in her hundreds, both of whom were real people with old qualifications.

"Now that the number of young and strong people has decreased greatly, Fangcheng's operation is no longer sustainable, and it is imperative to escape from the Demon Land, so we must make a plan as soon as possible. Fuyaozi shouted outside the door, "Bring people up!"

The eight white men were escorted into the house by several Dragon Seeking Realm monks, and Fu Yaozi ordered them to be loosened, and instead of letting them kneel, they stood and answered questions.

"Tell me, how to get us out of England. ”

"We can lease the spaceship to the Academy. Hugo said. Among the white people, except for Avril, he is the most proficient in Chinese, he has the most destructive power, and he is most responsible for the affairs of Shaoxian.

"What flew you here?"

"Yes. Small airships can carry ten people, medium ships can carry fifty people, and large ships can carry two hundred people. ”

"When will I be able to borrow it?"

"We'll be back in fifty-four days, and we'll be able to do it as soon as we get back. We, as warriors, will do our best to provide funding, but after all, financial resources are limited, so ......" Hugo paused and smiled embarrassedly.

"Don't ramble, just say how much it costs. ”

Hugo stretched out a finger, "According to your country's coins, I estimate that it will cost one hundred silver dollars per person from Fuzhou to here." ”

Isn't that the need for four or five hundred thousand silver dollars for so many people in Wuliang Mountain? This is not a small amount. The most useless thing after the earthquake is money, and there are many abandonments, and I'm afraid there are not many things left in Fang City.

Fuyaozi asked Wulai, "How much silver is in the treasury?"

Wulai Zhenren muttered: "There are more than 5,000 catties of gold and silver in the public treasury, and the total amount is estimated to be between 100,000 and 150,000 silver dollars. ”

Fuyaozi asked Hugo, "How much can you offer?"

"Uh, wait a minute. Hugo discussed with the other white men for a while, "160,000, this is our greatest ability." ”

Fuyaozi frowned, and wanted to spend a lot of time looking for money in the ruins outside, which was another danger.

Longi's focus was not on money, and he asked Hugo, "How many ships can you bring in?"

"We at St. Martin's have three large flying ships and five medium-sized ones. There should be ten large flying ships in the entire Fuzhou, and more than twenty medium-sized ones. ”

Longi shook his head, "Not enough, we have four, five thousand, six hundred. ”

Hugo smiled confidently, "That's not a problem. This year's International Concentric Athletic Meeting will be held in Fuzhou, and in about two months, the fleets of various countries will arrive in Fuzhou, and I will find a way to rent them then. ”

I see, Fuyaozi knows it. The Universal Hearts Athletic is a permanent world-class event jointly sponsored by the Western powers, which was first held thirteen years ago and has been held every four years since then. Thinking that the talents of the Infinite Sword Sect were also selected by the imperial court, they traveled thousands of miles by boat to attend the meeting, but they didn't expect that other people's families were flying now.

If it weren't for the earthquake, the imperial court's letter of raising the British this year would have come down a long time ago. But it's good to do this, so as not to be beaten every time in the past and be embarrassed.

"Okay, we got it. These days you live here, and you are not allowed to move around freely, and you are not allowed to cause trouble. ”

"Definitely, definitely. Hugo was busy.

"Come on," Fu Yaozi summoned in two Dragon Seeking Realm monks, "take them down, arrange a place to live, and let them eat and drink well." ”

After the others left, Fuyaozi asked everyone, "What do you think, is it credible?"

Yan Yong scolded and scolded: "What a heavy weapon is the flying ship, why should people lend it to this thief with a mouse-eyed and obscene face? He said that these are just fooling us into letting them go, and he can't believe it." I'm going to teach him a lesson and tell him the truth. ”

"But you may not be able to beat him. Luo Chan said lightly.

Akazao scoffed, "It's as if you have what it takes." ”

"Seriously. Longi glared at him, "In my opinion, what he said may be sincere, but it may not be able to do it." This matter involves a political contest between major powers, and if the Fuzhou Academy of Magic uses Yingzhou as a place of trial, has it been passed or not approved by the imperial court? If it is allowed by the imperial court, is it allowed by the exchange of conditions or allowed under oppression?"

"Besides, this place has long been an abandoned land, if suddenly thousands of remnants reappear in front of the world, how will the people of the empire think, where will the face of the imperial court be?"

"The biggest constraint on the dispatch of flying ships from Fuzhou is not money, nor is it foreign forces. To put it mildly, the last thing you want us to go out is the imperial court. ”

Fuyaozi gave him an approving look, which was exactly what he was worried about, and he didn't expect Longi to think like this.

The real people were dumbfounded, they didn't want to believe that the court would do this. Luo Chan said: "Brother Longji is reasonable, so those eight people can only let one person go back, so that he can use his life, and it also makes the court and the Western countries have scruples." ”

Fuyaozi nodded, "And we can't trust our hopes to others, we have to find another way to save ourselves." Do you have a trick?"

A real person stood up and arched his hand: "Sect Master, I think that the young people who came here yesterday can improve the wooden car a little. Remove the bottom, and a car of the same size, like a shield on all sides, can wrap twelve people to walk. Only 400 wooden carts were needed to be built. ”

Fuyaozi's eyes lit up, "Wonderful, remember a merit." Speak freely. ”

Everyone discussed it with each other, and someone proposed to go to the edge of the demon land for a field trip, set a plan to build a bridge, and by the way, explore the bottom of the monster and find the best route.

Someone gave advice on the construction of the wooden car, the bottom of the car should not be completely empty, there must be a place to support the body, so that the monster does not get through the hole, and a box should be installed on the roof of the car to place materials. There are also people who talk about the elderly, the weak, women and children, and the disabled, who are inconvenient to walk, and have to find a way to solve this problem.

Fuyaozi assigned tasks to everyone, who was responsible for leading the construction of the car, who would take people outside to find gold and silver, who would investigate the distribution of monsters, and plan the route of the march and the location of the bridge.

Everyone enthusiastically offered suggestions, but Qingxiao looked very depressed. He has been exercising his strength, using his true yuan to resist the demonic poison in his body. But the poison was so strong that he couldn't resist for long, and his nails had turned black, and he hid them in his sleeves for fear of being seen.

Qingxiao stood up and said, "Sect Master, I'm not feeling well, please let me retire first." ”

"You waited for a few days in Shao County, but I couldn't sympathize with it. You go down and rest first, and take care of your body. Fuyaozi said.
