Anu still didn't take away the early warning beast after all, and the safety of the entire Tianshui Village is still the most important.

In this regard, Wang Huzi is clearly the most suitable candidate. Moreover, after more than a year of getting along, Wang Huzi's military talent and loyalty to Guo Yang are still relatively acceptable.

"You let it go. Tianshui Village is the home of the descendants of the merchants, and it is also the home of your king's beard. Guo Yang said gently.

Wang Huzi swore in his heart that he must protect Tianshui Village.

If in the past, he Wang Huzi and hundreds of men submitted to Guo Yang, maybe it was just a helpless move when he was cornered, but now it is different. When everyone has a family and a wife and children, there is a kind of responsibility and obligation.

In fact, there is no need for Guo Yang to say that Wang Huzi has regarded himself as a male tiger, and he must protect his territory and tear all the enemies who come to him to pieces.

Tianshui Village has entered full construction.

The king's beard fully embodies the prudence, vigilance, and cunning of a bandit leader.

In the area of Wuling Mountain, all the original roads have been destroyed, and new paths have been opened up. Each of these roads will not lead to Tianshui Village, and once someone looks for it along the road, it will never reach Tianshui Village.

Not only have the roads been completely transformed, but even those mountains and forests and iconic mountains have been completely transformed by Wang Huzi's people, and from a distance, Tianshui Village is not at all conspicuous in a radius of two or three hundred miles, mixed in those ordinary lofty mountains and mountains, without any characteristics.

In all the passes and valleys that may lead to Tianshui Village, too many traps and traps have been set up. In this link, the people in the manual group trained by Anu played a great role. The traps and traps they devise are aimed only at people, and they are completely based on the characteristics of people's behavior. On the contrary, those wild beasts, whether wild boars, wild wolves or wild asses, will be unscathed even if they walk through those trap areas.

This set of design surprised Guo Yang, and he sighed more than once that people's creativity in difficult times can be exerted to the limit.

The protective measures of the king's beard are divided into eight layers, each of which contains eight variations.

Moreover, as he gradually approached Tianshui Village, those changes became more subtle and ingenious, even if someone broke the previous layers of protection, the next few layers would definitely make him unable to eat and walk around.

Especially around the Tianshui Village around more than ten miles of a large circle, almost become a forbidden area for outsiders, you obviously look at the front of a group of wild donkeys leisurely walking through the meadow, as soon as people's feet step in, there immediately becomes hell.

The original cliff face has been dug into an ant's nest, or rat's hole.

In order to kill the strong outside, those weak people used the limits of their wisdom, and even included a large number of whimsical inventions.

If it weren't for the special craftsmen and the iron tools that Guo Yang quietly provided to Anu, this project would not have been possible. And once it's done, those ordinary-looking stone walls will forever become the most terrifying defense system.

The rat holes collude with each other and can be independent, allowing defenders to quickly move to another designated location. When people or beasts plan to enter Tianshui Village from those cliffs, some untraceable weapons and hidden weapons will be used insidiously, leaving those outsiders to die silently on the way to fall.

As the last barrier on the surface, the tall stone wall was also completely transformed by Wang Huzi's people.

The walls were seven or eight times taller, and were disguised as a cliff, and the moat in front of it was disguised as a clean little lake, where ducks quacked and chased the little fish.

The walls were also widened, and the inside was empty, a small armory, with all kinds of defensive and offensive weapons divided into categories, which could be collected at any time according to the needs of the battle.

Wang Huzi was very satisfied with the improvement of this stone wall, and he claimed that even the Zhou Wang Shi, who was stationed in the vicinity of Luoyi City, could not easily break through this stone wall.

"We are still very weak, and we have to make concealment our main goal. It's best not to let anyone discover this stone wall, otherwise, a strong defense will never be able to match an equally powerful attack. Guo Yang appropriately poured some cold water on Wang Huzi to prevent him from being too proud.

……

With the continuous refinement and strengthening of Wang Huzi's defense system, a large number of weapons and hidden weapons were invented.

Anu opened a new cave for the craftsmen, which could accommodate hundreds of people. The cave is stocked with a lot of food and water, meat and wine all year round. Even the wives and children of the craftsmen were secretly transferred to the new caves, so that they could combine life and work perfectly.

For these craftsmen, Anu has adopted absolute secrecy, and even Guo Yang is a little unclear.

Of course, he doesn't need to be too clear, with Anu here, Guo Yang basically doesn't pay much attention to these details of life.

Wang Huzi can only get any weapons and hidden weapons he needs through Anu, which makes him a little angry, but in the face of Anu, Wang Huzi thinks to himself that even if he borrows him another guts, he will not dare to be presumptuous anymore.

is different from Wang Huzi's publicity, Anu has always done things quietly, so how many kinds of weapons and hidden weapons have been designed by those craftsmen, even Guo Yang is a little confused, in short, there are many, many more, so much that Guo Yang is a little impatient.

In addition, Anu also made the thirty teenagers disappear completely, except for him and Guo Yang, no one knows where the teenagers he trained with his own hands and are as fierce as hyenas have gone.

Anu is becoming more and more low-key and mysterious, and many things are done in secret.

But Guo Yang was very relieved.

He knew that Anu's only friend was Guo Yang.

"Anu, there's no need to engage in so many tricks, right?" Guo Yang said with a smile.

"Young Master, it is necessary." Anu said, meticulously.

"Okay, then you just do it." Guo Yang said helplessly.

"Young Master, we have to make all kinds of plans for the future. Tianshui Village is a small place, and it will not be suitable for the young master after all. Anu said.

Guo Yang was slightly stunned when he heard this, to be honest, he hadn't thought about such a long-term thing, he just wanted to protect this Tianshui Village and let this group of people have a way to live.

The two of them were silent, slowly drinking wine, each thinking about their own thoughts.

……

Tianshui Village has basic defense capabilities, and has also solved the problem of food and clothing that has plagued everyone for too long, and all work is progressing smoothly.

Guo Yang sent Anu away and fell into deep thought.

Anu may have a point, Tianshui Village is a small place, and these people can only hide like rats, slowly multiply, fend for themselves, and finally gradually disappear.

Guo Yang himself is nothing, he has witnessed too much slaughter and persecution, suffered too many whips and humiliation, but he thinks that Tianshui Village is good, and he can even consider living in seclusion for a long time.

But every time he looked at the dozens of children who were crawling in the puddle in front of the cave and playing with mud from a distance, Guo Yang's heart softened.

Everyone deserves a better and broader future, and if these children are allowed to grow up in a completely closed environment for a long time, sooner or later they will slowly degenerate and become animals or beasts.

Guo Yang remembered himself back then, Guo Yang, the little coppersmith, the young man who had no vices but no friends, and looked quite quiet on the surface. But he knew for himself how that never-ending sense of nothingness tormented him all night long.

If he doesn't find a way to revive this pool of stagnant water that has closed itself off because of chaos, these children will be like him, and they will be burned beyond recognition by the fire of loneliness for as long as he can remember.

Not only to protect himself from the invasion of those strong people outside, but also to completely close himself, this problem has plagued Guo Yang for a long time, and even began to seriously disturb his daily cultivation, and he almost went mad several times because of inexplicable distraction.

If this problem is not solved, Guo Yang's heart will be chaotic.

……

On a sunny afternoon, Guo Yang slowly walked into Tianshui Village.

The sun shone lazily, making this vibrant place seem a little over-energetic, and the crops in the fields were growing vigorously and making a "horn" sound. The animals stayed in the pen at leisure, eating and pulling so much that the drains designed by Anu himself were blocked.

The smell of livestock, the smell of cured meat, the smell of men, the smell of women, the smell of forage, the smell of hundreds of things mixed and filled the entire Grand Canyon.

The whole Tianshui Village presents a strange prosperity, all life is immersed in the warm sun, stinking, but extremely lush.

Guo Yang hadn't walked into Tianshui Village for a long time, so much so that when those people saw Guo Yang, they were stunned for a while, and then they cheered loudly.

The old people, women, and men came out of their caves and welcomed Guo Yang ceremoniously, as if this was their king.

Or, their gods.

Even the children who were crawling and playing in the mud suddenly raised their black heads and glanced at Guo Yang.

The animals in the pen also seemed to be a little excited, humming vigorously, their tails flicking, and slapping on their smooth buttocks.

……

Guo Yang scratched the back of his head, smiled a little embarrassedly, and walked directly into Anu's cave.
