The Imperial Garden has changed dramatically:

The rest of the small lake is just a little tidy, with pavilions and rockeries flowing as before.

What has changed dramatically is the eastern side of the small lake.

It is divided into two growing areas:

One is an orchard and a tea plantation, and the other is a test field.

In the orchard, three tea trees that have been strengthened to the limit are about ten meters tall!

There is no doubt that ordinary tea trees will never grow so tall.

The three tea trees, which have been completely mutated, are distributed in a zigzag shape, verdant and vibrant, exuding a rich fragrance that cannot be described.

Just getting close to the tree and taking a deep breath will make people feel refreshed and tired!

These three mutated tea trees are not very tall, but their canopies cover a wide area within a radius of more than ten zhang!

It looks like three thousand-year-old trees, with very thick trunks and staggered branches and leaves, and even the sun can't see through the ground.

"Qingshen Tea Tree: Age, 1,000 years (growth period).

Tea picking period every year: spring and March, autumn and September.

Edible method: Spring water is boiled and brewed, which slightly improves the mental power of ordinary people, and has the effect of refreshing the mind and recovering fatigue. ”

It sounds like this Qingshen tea tree, nothing remarkable.

However, Zhu Youxiao knew the perversion of the identification of this "craftsman hammer".

Even the four mutant big dogs and the twelve mutant battle chickens, the identification of the craftsman hammer is like this: the first-level mutant dogs are extremely weak in combat effectiveness, with average sense of smell and sensitivity, and ordinary speed.

A first-class mutant chicken, with extremely poor combat effectiveness, ordinary flight speed, and ordinary eyesight.

You know, in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, he is already the two invincible overlords of birds and beasts on the earth!

The mutant dog even bites the big wild boar to death, and the speed of the fighting chicken has exceeded that of any fighter known to Zhu Youxiao in his previous life.

They are so powerful, they were actually identified as so bad by the Craftsman Hammer.

In this way, we know that in the appraisal of the Craftsman Hammer, the miraculous effect and rarity of these three tea trees far exceed those of mutant dogs and battle chickens!

"It's a pity that we won't be able to pick tea until late spring next year."

Zhu Youxiao looked at the three mutated tea trees with great regret, and muttered to himself helplessly.

He won't pick the tea now, otherwise, he will destroy the growth of the tea tree, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

He still believes in his golden finger.

If nothing else, if you don't have a golden finger, you guess your bones will turn to ashes.

Where can I still live as tastefully as I do now?

Not far from the tea plantation, is an orchard.

Today's orchards have many types of fruit trees, but they all look like they have just come to life.

Not including a large peach tree.

Because Zhu Youxiao's current enhancement times are very precious, in this imperial garden, in addition to the three big tea trees, he has only strengthened one peach tree.

Without it, in his previous life, he liked to eat that kind of red and white peach.

Now that we have the Hammer, of course, we have to make a mutated peach tree first.

The peach tree in front of him, which was as big as a big tea tree, was also strengthened to the limit by him:

"Crystal white jade peach: tree age, thousand years (growth period).

Fruit ripening period of each year: summer and June.

Fruit: The taste is ordinary, the effect of nourishing yin and aphrodisiac is average, and it has a slight effect of nourishing the skin. ”

"Huh"

Zhu Youxiao shook his head when he saw it, this is another good thing that cannot be enjoyed for the time being.

However, he strode to the nearby experimental field, and looked at the many crops that had come to life, and his face was full of relief.

The varieties of these crops are all perennial crop varieties, and as long as you pay attention, you will not freeze to death and wither because of the arrival of winter.

Presumably, it took Xiao Xuanzi a lot of thought to get it from all over the place.

In fact, many crops, including sweet potatoes, are perennial plants that can grow for years.

In his previous life, after graduating from high school, Zhu Youxiao used a large vat at home, made a hole in the bottom, put a lot of soil mixed with farm fertilizer, and planted just a sweet potato seedling.

Originally, he wanted to grow it specifically to pick sweet potato leaves to eat.

As a result, it has been growing from the sweet potatoes in the vat, and only picking sweet potato leaves to eat every year.

Four or five years later, one day, he dug up the sweet potatoes in the vat on a whim.

He was immediately taken aback!

The sweet potatoes harvested this time are actually the size of a big bowl, and each one is estimated to weigh seven or eight catties!

It can be seen that many of the crops that people usually see can be grown for many years.

"Well, it's going to snow soon, so I'll have to ask someone to get a sturdy and simple greenhouse to cover up all these crops that have just taken root."

Over the years, the winters have become colder and colder, but he still thinks of taking insurance to prevent these crops from freezing to death in the winter.

That's why he didn't strengthen them one by one, otherwise, he wouldn't have to worry about them.

These fruit trees and crops are the plants he will use to experiment with strengthening in the future, but he doesn't want them to wither and die easily.

He wanted to use them to experiment and strengthen them one by one, to see if he could make a few super delicious and special mutant varieties.

With such a powerful golden finger, it would be a fool's errand to enjoy some appetite.

"Whoosh!"

In the sky, suddenly a slight sound of breaking the sky sounded, a colorful light flashed, and in front of Zhu Youxiao, a colorful mutated pheasant appeared.

“F4！ How did you get back? ”

Zhu Youxiao called out in surprise, teased it for a while, and then untied a small bamboo tube from F4's feet.

He marked each of the fighting chickens so that he could recognize them at a glance.

This F4 was asked by Zhu Youxiao to follow Lu Jiude, and was specifically responsible for the contact with Lu Jiude.

It's just that I don't know what news it helped Lu Jiude deliver back today.

opened the bamboo tube and took out a letter, and Zhu Youxiao read it.

It turned out that because Wang Qinian, the deputy general of the Yongwei Army, was transferred to the Qilin Army as the commander, Lu Jiude returned to the front line of Shanhaiguan, commanded the soldiers of the Yongwei Army, and strictly supported the construction army to build roads and farms.

It's just that the construction corps has built the super official road three miles away from Shanhaiguan today.

Lu Jiude asked for instructions, and the soldiers guarding the Shanhaiguan were now like a great enemy, and they had sealed the city gates, as if they were preparing for battle.

Therefore, Lu Jiude asked for instructions, whether he wanted him to lead the soldiers to attack Shanhaiguan and control Shanhaiguan.

"That's not going to work."

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while.

The 100,000 brave guards led by Lu Jiude now, although they are armed to the teeth like the new army, have good combat effectiveness.

However, the Yongwei Army is not just a construction corps that supports that road, they are now scattered in the huge Shuntian Mansion and Yongping Mansion, and there are construction corps everywhere for them to support.

Now in Lu Jiude's hands, there are no more than 30,000 horses, and they are not yet equipped with a new Franc cannon.

It is very unrealistic to want to conquer Shanhaiguan, which is known as "the first pass in the world".

Even if they pay a big price and conquer Shanhaiguan, it is estimated that 30,000 brave guards will suffer heavy losses, and it is not uncommon for more than half of them to suffer casualties.

He hurriedly gave Lu Jiude an order, asking him to stay still for the time being, just try his best to protect the construction corps and continue to build roads to Shanhaiguan.

If the enemy does not take the initiative to attack, ignore it.

Anyway, the army will be pulled out tomorrow, and now the super official road has been built to Shanhaiguan, which is just right.

Stuffing the secret decree into the bamboo tube and letting F4 fly, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Humph! Very good! ”

He was furious in his heart, and said secretly, "This general of Shanhaiguan must have chosen the camp and is ready to make up his mind to fight against the imperial court." ”

"When Lao Tzu's army arrives, see how arrogant you are!"
