Chapter Ninety-Six: Escape

The entire shop purchase process lasted for two days.

On the third day, the shops began to enter the mall to see the shops they had rented.

The mighty queue followed the waiters one by one into the mall.

"Wow, this wide hall is so bright!" The first thing people felt when they came in was, it was too bright!

The floor is neat, and the walls are also inlaid with artworks made of glass, and you can see fragrant flowers everywhere.

"Comfortable, this kind of place is refreshing! 200 taels a year is a lot cheaper, folks. Someone exclaimed.

The brightness of the room is because Li Yi used a lot of mirrors to paste on it, using the refraction of light to illuminate the room brighter.

The wide corridor is flanked by shops, each of which has a basic finish.

The décor of each shop is the same, and there is a sign at the entrance of the store where you can hang your own sign.

All the shops that sell the same items are on the first floor,

It is said that peers are enemies, and now the enemies are opposite, next door, and around!

The mall also has stairs, of course, handrails, and you can see a lot of calligraphy and paintings when you go up the stairs.

"Look, these paintings are really realistic. The person in the painting seems to have come out, the horse is vivid, these paintings should be the master's handiwork.

Each one is priceless, but now it's everywhere! The crowd looked at the 3D paintings on the wall and were amazed.

The shops on the second and third floors, after everyone read it, they all unanimously felt that this is the row that we businessmen should have.

"I saw a sign in the lobby downstairs that said that there was a wall in the hall that could be used for publicity, and as long as you paid a certain fee, you could leave the name of the store and a promotional slogan on this wall."

"This is good, otherwise the buyers will come in, and they will be intercepted by other merchants before they come to us!"

"Hurry up and ask for the exact cost."

"There's another good thing, don't you know yet?" Crowd A said arrogantly.

"What's the matter, Boss Cheng won't sell it."

"There is a special parking lot behind the mall, all your carriages can be parked in the parking lot, and the carriages will be taken care of!"

"This shopping mall made by Hou Ye Li is really a holy place for our businessmen! Haha......"

"I heard that Building 3 and Building 4 are starting to be built again, and I will have to grab a few more shops when the time comes, and I can sublet them if I don't need them!" The crowd has spoken.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

When they found their shop, they began to instruct their men to bring the goods into the shop.

"Master Hou, we collected a total of 800,000 taels of silver in the first batch of the entire shopping mall. Construction of the second phase of the mall has already begun, and this time it is expected to be completed before the early Chinese New Year. Zhuge Jun reported to Li Yi.

"Thank you for your hard work, and the construction of the city wall cannot be left behind."

"Yes, Master Hou. Now for the construction of the city wall and the inner city river, the entire army is taking turns to work, after all, the amount of work is huge, and the time will be relatively long! Zhuge Jun replied.

"Well, sir, where can we recruit more workers?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, his subordinates thought that they could go to other cities to recruit refugees, displaced people and other poor people. There is also a north side through Zhao Guomeng City, I heard that there will be a lot of barbarians over there, who can be captured as slaves. Zhuge Jun analyzed with Li Yi.

"Do as the gentleman instructs! The city wall is the first task, and now that the news of Zhongzhou City is going to build the city wall has spread, I am afraid that the troops of other countries will be ready to move! Li Yi said with some concern.

"Master Hou, please rest assured, my subordinates will do it." Zhuge Jun left.

Li Yi was accompanied by Gao Ren and left the Li Mansion.

The whole East Side is very empty now, because a large part of the shops have moved into the mall, so there will be a lot of empty space.

The area of Zhongzhou City is not large, after two months of statistics,

The city has a permanent population of 600,000 and a floating population of 200,000.

While counting the population, there was also a lot of friction.

But they were all disposed of by Li Jiajun, and only when they encountered the people of the killer organization, they encountered some trouble.

Now the entire Zhongzhou City can be said to be under Li Yi's control.

In addition, a city with a population of 800,000 is far worse than Kyoto in various countries, but for a medium-sized city, it can be regarded as a large city.

The biggest problem in Zhongzhou City before was that there was no unification and no city walls. Each country is in its own right, and it is impossible to build walls.

Now that the walls are built, there are many dangers outside.

……

This is not, at the same time, Zhao Guo Kyoto.

"Inform General Jin Ming to act cheaply, and you can't let Li Yi build the city wall smoothly!"

"Yes, King!"

……

At the same time, the country of Qi Kyoto.

"This Qi bangs are really bastards, and he let Zhongzhou City out without moving! Wait for Qi Bangs to return to Kyoto to reinstate, take it for me! King Qi was furious.

"King, this matter is a foregone conclusion, we must prevent Li Yi from successfully building the city wall!"

"Okay, let's arrange it!"

"Yes, King!"

……

"Meet the Hou Ye, meet the Hou Ye!" Li Yi came to the city wall,

Looking at the increasing city walls, the worry in my heart is also getting bigger and bigger, and the speed is still too slow!

Chen Pi had already told Li Yi that the Qi army had an army from Lancheng that was gathering 300 miles west of our Zhongzhou City.

Compared with Qi Jun's caution, Zhao Jun was a little impatient!

Half a month later, the team of Yang Chuan, the city defense army stationed in the first district of the west of Zhongzhou, was attacked by the Zhao army while patrolling the border.

It heralded that the army of Zhao Guomengcheng officially declared war with Li Yi's Zhongzhou City!

"Report, Zhao Jun gathered more than 20,000 people to assemble on the north side of my Zhongzhou City, and has entered the garrison of my Zhongzhou City.

Commander Lu Xian has already rushed to stop it! The herald said breathlessly.

"Let Yang Chuan be responsible for evacuating the people and evacuate all the people from the West 1st District.

Hua Jiao, Tu Shan and Niu Shangjin all gave me quick support for Lu Xian.

Qin Da, Hao Jianren, Chen Qiao, and Wang He's teams were adjusted to Xicheng for me to prevent the Qi army from attacking my Zhongzhou City! Li Yi looked at the latest map of Zhongzhou City in front of him and ordered.

"Yes, Master Hou!"

It's time to come, even if we give another two months, the defense will be more sufficient, and the time is a bit rushed!

"Come on, go and order the city defense army of Song He and Yang Chuan to be responsible for evacuating the people, this time it is a siege battle, if you want to leave Zhongzhou City, evacuate from Dongcheng!"

Tell everyone that my Li Jiajun in Zhongzhou City will not lose a place, please rest assured! After Li Yi finished speaking, in fact, Li Yi didn't have a bottom in his heart!

Because this is a war against two countries, there are no walls, but it is too difficult to protect the people!

"Mr. Zhuge , I'll go over there Zhao Jun! You go to Xicheng to be in charge of the Qi army, this time we have to beat the Zhao army painfully, and we are afraid!

Let Qi Jun take a look, you can eat it in my Zhongzhou City, but you will also collapse with a mouth full of blood!

Qi Jun, Li got rid of Mr. Li Yi arched his hand at Zhuge Jun and said.

"Master Hou, this life should have died, it was you who left a life for your subordinates, people are in the city, people are dead, people are ......" Zhuge Jun left with people.

Li Yi turned over and got on his horse, "Everyone, come with me to meet this old friend!" ”

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Gao Ren's wife, Wang, looked at the county lord and asked.

"Ah, it's okay, maybe a little tired! I'm going to a break! The county lord sat at the stone table and looked at the busy figures of Ruhua, and his right eyelid kept jumping.

The county lord listened to the chaotic scene outside.

Many merchants and people are fleeing, saying that Zhongzhou City can't be saved!

Li Yi rode a fast horse and galloped on the street,

"Master Hou, many merchants in shopping malls want refunds, saying that Zhongzhou City is going to be gone, and the shopping malls will definitely not be able to keep it, can their money be refunded to them." A herald caught up with Li Yi and reported.

"Go and tell Mr. Zhuge that as long as you want to quit, you can return all the money to them, but if you come back, the price will not be this price.

Let them consider the importance of Zhongzhou City to their business. Li Yi commanded as he hurried.

The herald left, and Li Yi was a little slower, because many people were fleeing on the road.

"Let's go quickly, Zhongzhou City heard that it is surrounded by the Zhao army and the Qi army."

"That's right, Zhongzhou City has just passed two days of stable life, and it's time to change its flag again."

"I have to hurry up and return my shop in the mall, otherwise when Zhao Jun comes in, there will be nothing!" Crowd A hurried away.

"I think Hou Ye's Li Jiajun can win, after several wars, Li Jiajun has won! There's still cooking at home, so run away, I'm not leaving. Crowd B snorted and said.

Li Yi listened to everyone's complaints and complaints, distrusting Li Jiajun and Li Yi, in the final analysis, he had no sense of belonging to Zhongzhou City.

If a person regards a place as his hometown, will he easily leave? Will he allow the enemy to destroy his homeland?

"Master Hou, the front is in the battle zone." A herald said to Li Yi.

Before Li Yi arrived at the battlefield,

"Bow and arrow ready, put, put, put!" A general of the Zhao army gave an order.

Lu Xian: "Shield, shield cover!" ”

The two sides shot each other back and forth, Li Jiajun won in good equipment, and Zhao Junsheng in numbers.

Countless soldiers on both sides died under the arrows.

The Zhao army launched a charge, and the Li Jiajun was a little unable to hold on, because Lu Xian only had 3,000 people, and the casualties of Yangchuan's city defense army were also somewhat serious.

Everyone knows that the Li family's bow and arrows are powerful, so the current Zhao army is equipped with a large number of shield soldiers to resist the dense arrow rain attack of the Li family's army.

Li Yi took out his binoculars and saw that the entire battlefield was extremely tragic.

"Niu Shangjin will take out your second-generation heavy crossbow for me, hurry, Lu Xian can't hold it anymore!

Tu Shan replaced Lu Xian for me! Li Yi shouted loudly.

"Brothers, let Zhao Jun on the opposite side take a look at our new guy, all the heavy crossbows and three arrows are fired at once, ready, release!"

"Next group, put! Put! Put! Niu went up and gave the order to shoot.

At the forefront of the battlefield,

"Commander Lu, you withdraw first, there are too many people in the Zhao army, the brothers resist it, otherwise they won't be able to leave!" A battalion commander said while guarding Lu Xian's side.

"Withdraw? Even if I, Lu Xian, die here, I can't withdraw! Come on, Zhao Jun's mongrels, your Grandpa Lu is here! Lu Xian shouted loudly, and then one of the enemy soldiers next to him was also cut to the ground at the same time.

"Commander, you should withdraw first! The brothers couldn't hold it anymore and retreated, using street fighting to maneuver around them. The guards around him were also constantly urging Lu Xian to retreat, because they knew that if they didn't retreat, they would die.

"Yang Zhen, Dong Kang, I, Lu Xian, am going to look for you today!

Master Hou, this time Lu Xianzhen is gone, and you will be a pawn in the next life! Kill me, brothers! Lu Xian yelled and launched a final charge.

Just as Lü Xian rushed into the camp of the Zhao army, Niu Shangjin arrived and issued a shooting order.

Tu Shan quickly followed and cut into the battlefield.

Li Yi took out a sniper rifle, "Old friend, it's been a long time since we've fought side by side!" ”
