The nineteenth princess and the chief martial arts have already left, she is out of concern for Zhu Xiaobao, so she is a little flustered, after all, the role of Zhu Xiaobao is too great now, but strong ability will inevitably lead to danger.

What the Nineteenth Princess can do now is to strengthen patrols around Xiyuan City and increase the number of people, no matter how strong Ao Yang's martial arts are, she will not dare to confront the army head-on, that is simply hitting a stone with an egg, because a person's strength is always limited.

This time, Xia Zixiu also showed a very positive attitude, sending two thousand men and horses to patrol back and forth along Xiyuan City, four shifts a day, day and night. The Nineteenth Princess also sent a thousand people, and her main responsibility was to be responsible for the realm and patrol outside the West City Gate. Now the number of people in Xiyuan City has quietly increased to more than 40,000, of which Xia Zixiu has 30,000, and the people of the nineteenth princess are basically relatively hidden, known as 8,000 to the outside world. In fact, it is a part of the strength hidden, which is the result of discussing with Xia Zixiu. After all, the rapid increase in people will attract close attention from all parties.

After the nineteenth princess left, Zhu Xiaobao was also very silent here, and there was no joy after returning. On the contrary, everyone was a little worried and silent.

"What to do? You, a person who doesn't know martial arts, are now being targeted by a giant bandit with strong martial arts? If you want to learn martial arts well, you just don't want to work hard, and now you regret it, right? Wu Yue said a little complaining, she was really worried about Zhu Xiaobao's safety, and now it was obvious that she and Tong Wuxin might not even be able to deal with Ye Qinghong, let alone Ao Yang!

"Hmmm! In fact, even if I practice martial arts hard, it's useless, this thing also needs to pay attention to talent, and I definitely can't compare to you in this regard! But force doesn't work, we can use our brainpower to make it! If an Ao Yang stumps me, then how can I protect you? Zhu Xiaobao looked at Wu Yue and Tong Wuxin in front of him, and then looked at Ying Xiuxiu and Lu Tong Lu Fang who were standing at the bottom, and then said, at this time, Zhu Xiaobao felt that he was their backbone, and if they wanted to win Ao Yang, they had to rely on themselves!

"Xiaobao is right, in fact, an Ao Yang is not terrible, as long as we increase our precautions and don't give him a chance to get close, it will be much safer. And Xiaobao's new gadgets may be able to restrain Ao Yang! Tong Wuxin said encouragingly, what is needed most now is confidence, if you lose confidence in the first place, then you have fallen behind! What's more, if Zhao Shenbao is also counted, in the face of the siege of three people, Ao Yang may not be able to take advantage!

"Then we'll start going down less now! As long as we are in the blessed land, we are still very safe! Wu Yue also nodded, she also knew that she was a little out of shape just now, after all, Zhu Xiaobao didn't have any talent for martial arts, and as the person who protected him, she should comfort him instead of blindly accusing him!

"It's okay if I don't go down the mountain, but you have to help me connect with Ye Qinghong, and the things she needs and what I need must be exchanged immediately! This is where the delivery will be! You bring more people in case you run into Ao Yang! Zhu Xiaobao thought for a while before he said, it is indeed a little inconvenient for him to go down the mountain, everyone has to guard him, once there is danger, he will be very passive, and it is much safer to let Tong Wuxin and Zhao Shenbao take people there, these two people's martial arts are not weak, and they are very experienced in the rivers and lakes. Now that the two of them have a short knife in their hands, they are already like tigers with wings, and when they meet Ao Yang, the two of them may not be able to win together, but they can retreat with their whole body.

"What? What the? You just came back, and you made an appointment with Ye Qinghong? Hey, Zhu Xiaobao, don't you have a crush on this female bandit? I'll tell you, she's not young! And do things ruthlessly, don't get too caught up in the wrong! Wu Yue exclaimed a little dissatisfied when she heard this. I felt a little sour in my heart, I don't know how Zhu Xiaobao could believe in Ye Qinghong so much, although Zhu Xiaobao had already said what happened to Ye Qinghong, but Wu Yue still didn't believe it!

"Hey, hey, hey! Where do you want to go? Am I that kind of person? Besides, she has the saltpeter I need, and if she doesn't trade with her, why don't you go to the thatched pigsty and loot it for me? Besides, I asked Sister Wuxin to go for me, and I won't go! Zhu Xiaobao exclaimed angrily.

"Huh! I'm just reminding you! I don't care, I'll go when the time comes! Wu Yue was suddenly a little speechless, what happened to her today, she was always thinking nonsense, but Wu Yue was still not at ease, she wanted to meet this Ye Qinghong.

"It's okay, Wu Yue will go with us, our advantage will be even greater, maybe we can even kill Ao Yang!" Tong Wuxin is still a little biased towards this Wu Yue, knowing that she was frightened this time, so she has always been a little distracted. And Wu Yue's thoughts, Tong Wuxin has already seen it very clearly, but Wu Yue himself refuses to admit it!

"Hmmm! Okay, then let's go together, anyway, Lu Tong knows what you need! I'm going to calm down and do some research now, and don't bother me if you're okay! Zhu Xiaobao didn't ramble anymore, but immediately entered his laboratory. Time is of the essence! I always thought that people in this era were not efficient, but I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, and now we must seize the time and come up with some self-defense weapons.

Zhu Xiaobao immediately entered a state of full-length preparation, and engraved six big characters on the wall of the laboratory: Knowledge is power!

He wants to use his knowledge to defend his rights and interests, Zhu Xiaobao doesn't believe that he can't deal with a bandit like Ao Yang with his knowledge? So what else is there to help the nineteenth princess to dominate the world? It's just that I didn't pay much attention to it before, thinking that the pace of this era would be very slow, but I didn't expect it to be very urgent now!

At the same time, Zhu Xiaobao also asked Du Ping, Du Xing, and Du Wang to install the simple blast furnace according to his design, as well as the coking cellar kiln. Anyway, it's already on its own territory, so why don't you get it all out? He also invited the carpenter Li in the original nineteenth princess's mansion, because he helped Zhu Xiaobao build the blast furnace at the earliest, and now he is just employing people, Zhu Xiaobao can't take care of so much, and everyone who can use it has been invited.

Five hundred additional people have been dispatched to help build the Ring Island Road in the Blessed Land, and now there is no need for Zhu Xiaobao to worry about it, these things are all watched by Tong Wuxin.

The cave heaven blessed land suddenly seemed nervous and busy, just because of Zhu Xiaobao's hard work, all of them felt a sense of tension against time. And the first thing Zhu Xiaobao had to do was to get the detonating device out, because the safety of the cave entrance was always a hidden danger.

Fortunately, this kind of detonation device is not complicated, I think that back then, the guerrillas and the earth eight roads could be made with simple facilities, and Zhu Xiaobao is not a problem here!

Originally, I wanted to make it more ruthless, to get a torch or an earthen cannon, but the existing facilities were not enough to make these things, and it was too late in time, so Zhu Xiaobao gave up this idea for the time being, and being able to get the mines out was already a big safety factor!

……

Tong Wuxin took Zhao Shenbao and Wu Yue and others to the place of exchange, Tong Wuxin and Wu Yue saw Ye Qinghong for the first time, both sides were looking at each other, especially Wu Yue was constantly comparing in her heart, she was afraid of being compared by Ye Qinghong, but she had one of the biggest advantages, that is, her age, Ye Qinghong was much older than her, and she was now twenty-six or seventeen years old!

However, Tong Wuxin and Ye Qinghong quickly became familiar with her, she had made a special trip to find Ye Qinghong, and now the two of them are exempted, and they can still chat a few words, and when talking about Ao Yang, Ye Qinghong also gave a lot of help, and told the battle between himself and Ao Yang in detail, including Ao Yang's weapons, body style, and some habits of walking the rivers and lakes.

Then the two sides began to count the exchanged items, each side brought a hundred carrier pigeons, handed over to each other, so that the two sides for the purpose of transmitting messages, in this era, this is a very important means of communication, but it is necessary to domesticate a lot of carrier pigeons, this point began as soon as Zhu Xiaobao entered the cave blessed land, and now those carrier pigeons can be used!

Tong Wuxin brought soap, toilet paper and twenty jars of burning knives, as well as some marinade for processing tofu. And Ye Qinghong is full of more than a dozen bags, which are full of scraped saltpeter, she has too many such things there, just scrape a little bit so much! There were also two bags of rocks that were messy and eight-grooved, and she didn't know if they were of use.

In addition, Zhu Xiaobao also asked Lu Tong to bring some sauced beef, pickled pepper and phoenix feet, and stinky tofu, etc., anyway, Zhu Xiaobao is still very interested in this sister!

"Huh! I didn't expect this brother to pick up halfway is really good, so thank him for me! Go back and tell Xiaobao, if you need anything, you must come to my sister! Ye Qinghong said with a little embarrassed smile, feeling that the value of what Zhu Xiaobao gave her far exceeded what she could take.

"Hmmm! You should also be careful, Ao Yang has already started to do evil here, and it is estimated that he will not leave easily! Tong Wuxin told Ye Qinghong everything that had happened recently.

"I know, I've been fighting with Ao Yang for so many years, he can't do anything to me, his biggest flaw is that there is only one person, as long as you keep being together, he doesn't have any chance!" Ye Qinghong waved her hand and said.

"Thank you for the advice!" Tong Wuxin hugged his fists, and then broke up with Ye Qinghong, Wu Yue didn't say a word from beginning to end, and looked at Ye Qinghong angrily, but Ye Qinghong looked at Wu Yue inadvertently when he left, and smiled slightly......

"Humph! is coquettish, I don't believe Xiaobao will like her! Wu Yue snorted angrily.

"Who said Xiaobao likes her? Are you thinking about it yourself? Tong Wuxin couldn't help but laugh and said, now Wu Yue's IQ has dropped sharply, which everyone can see......
