Chapter 1044: Treading Cloud City
The council hall of Qilin City is as lively as a vegetable market at the moment.
"Give me this land, and I promise to develop it into the most prosperous big city within a radius of 100,000 miles within ten years. โ
"Don't listen to him, if I can enter this city, I will set up a large teleportation array in this city, and I will definitely be able to make it a transportation hub for all the surrounding cities, use the flow of people to develop trade, and guarantee that this city will be greatly changed within ten years. โ
"You don't blow it, it's not a score and let Lu Gongzi help you build a teleportation array, you have the ability to do it yourself!"
After the leaders of the forces reunited this time, Lu Yi redivided the two cities that had completely broken away from the sandstone area under his rule and the area left by nearly thirty percent of the forces within a million miles of Hecheng, and then took them out one by one in the form of leasing for everyone to make their own conditions. Lu Yi's side only takes half of the annual income of these regions to build a public treasury, which is used for the defense of the entire region and the cost of daily affairs as a symbolic rent. This is simply giving away the territory for nothing!
After a short silence, everyone began to draw up their own blueprints, making speeches and debating about the areas they fancied for, and trying to defeat their competitors and successfully occupy the territory.
As a result, scenes of dialogue like the one just now appeared. The forces are inextricably linked, especially in some places with good potential, there will be many forces participating in the competition, watching the forces of each family continue to increase their weight and open more favorable conditions, Lu Yi's heart has long been happy. He didn't have much time to manage such a large area in the first place, and now he was collecting rent for others to take care of it for him, so why wouldn't he bother to work hard and get money?!
A group of forces fought for a day and a night before the sphere of influence was re-demarcated, and then everyone sat down to have an in-depth discussion on the future development direction and mutual cooperation, etc., and finally, according to the different regions, all the regions under Lu Yi's rule were divided into three fast: sandstone area, Shulu country, and millions of miles of territory, each of the three regions elected a regional person in charge to manage daily affairs, deal with some small disputes between forces, it is really irreconcilable, and it will be reported to Lu Yi here to be decided by him. In this way, Lu Yi can be his shopkeeper again, he has a plan, when everything here is on the right track, he will leave and go to another place where Chen Yunzi gave him back then. It just so happened that Sima Hongqian gave Lu Yi three years of free time, and Lu Yi calculated that he could almost finish the next place. He was originally more resistant to Sima Hongqian, but after Sima Hongqian drove away the Pingshan Demon King and helped him take down the million-mile area, Lu Yi felt that Sima Hongqian had a lot of secrets to dig up by himself, and now he has some interest in Sima Hongqian, so he plans to return to Qilin City again after completing the other thing that Chen Yunzi confessed, so as to continue to follow Sima Hongqian to accept his tempering, and see if he can have the opportunity to reveal some of the secrets he cares about. At the same time, in three years, his deeds should have spread all over the Western Regions, if his old departments got their news, they would definitely come to Qilin City, Lu Yi is still very much looking forward to reuniting with them, those people are his real henchmen, Lu Yi plans to cultivate them well, and quickly improve their abilities, but also in the future, he can give himself more help.
Hengshan Ridge, as the name suggests, is a long and narrow mountain range, full of cliffs, there is no decent access, like a long knife towering on the desert of the Western Regions, blocking the passage of a section of more than 100,000 miles from east to west. If you want to go to the other side of the mountain, unless you have the perseverance to go around a far area, you can only fly thousands of feet to cross the mountain, which is difficult for ordinary flying mounts to reach, and you must be a relatively high-level flying demon beast or a high-level monk to do it.
When Chen Yunzi came to the middle of the Hengshan Ridge, he happened to catch a caravan transporting supplies and flying over the Hengshan Ridge, but he encountered a cross wind in mid-air, causing several large fifth-order flying mounts Tongtian Geese to collide with each other, and they fell to the ground with their full of goods. You know, it is extremely difficult to catch and train flying monsters that can fly at such heights, and the cost is much higher than the goods on their bodies, and the person in charge of leading the team is a sixth-order monk, and he and his four fifth-order monks are trying to save the lives of several mounts while resisting the strong crosswind, and in a hurry, they have to cut the ropes tied to Tongtian Yan's body to bind and fix the goods, and even if those goods are lost, they must save the lives of the mounts. But this gust of wind was extremely violent, several fifth-order monks themselves were unable to resist, so they had to fall to the ground, the sixth-order monk was lonely, seeing that a Tongtian goose had been blown into the cliff by the crosswind, and it was immediately a broken end, he was in a hurry and jumped between the Tongtian goose and the cliff, and used his body to take a hard hit by the Tongtian goose, and finally saved the life of the Tongtian goose, but he was not lightly hit, and the whole person was hit hard by the strong impact on the back of the mountain rock, even if his body that had been tempered by the aura of heaven and earth could not bear it, a mouthful of old blood spurted out of his mouth, and then the whole person fell to the groundใ Seeing that this person had a good character, Chen Yunzi raised his hand to save him, and led this small caravan composed of four wild geese and five monks across the other side of the mountain. After Chen Yunzi's inquiry, he learned that these five people were from the same school, but the sect was later destroyed by the enemy, and the five of them escaped by luck. If this mission doesn't meet Chen Yunzi, I'm afraid it will end up with both personal and financial resources.
Several people were grateful to Chen Yunzi for saving his life, but they also knew that the gap between the two sides was too far away, and the five of them had nothing to repay, so they planned to be loyal to Chen Yunzi and serve him in this life. But Chen Yunzi had something to do, and he was a lazy person who didn't like to overcharge others, so he gave the five people two sets of sixth-order magic circles and pointed out the cultivation of the five people, leaving a sentence: "Your life is mine, you live well, sooner or later, I will arrange someone to come to you." Then he drifted away.
These five people were also more competitive later, and now there is already one person building spirits, and the remaining four people are all in the late stage of the seventh order, and they have developed in the middle of Hengshan Ridge, and have established a small force, still relying on helping the past caravans to cross Hengshan Ridge as their main business, and at the same time give full play to their specialties and carry out pets.
Chen Yunzi asked Lu Yi to find the five brothers, that is, he wanted them to assist Lu Yi, now that the Western Regions are in chaos, the livelihood of the five brothers may not be remembered, the five of them are very embarrassed to say that they are not strong or weak, and they can't withstand too much wind and waves, but there will be good development if they follow Lu Yi, at least they will not be displaced or even lose their lives in this storm that swept the Western Regions.
Lu Yi stayed in Qilin City for another month after the auction of the territory, and seeing that nothing had happened, and the forces that had newly acquired the territory were all working hard to develop, he pulled Liu Hongyan and quietly left the sandstone area to find the five brothers. This time, Lu Yi did not bring someone to slaughter, but asked him to help sit in Qilin City in case of accidents, and at the same time explained that if someone came to look for him, he must leave people behind and wait for him to come back.
The trip to Hengshan Ridge was still very smooth, Lu Yi still let Liu Hongyan follow secretly, and he released a trap bird to walk, and it was surprisingly quiet along the way, until he stepped into the boundary of Hengshan Ridge Lu Yi did not encounter any fault, which made Lu Yi a little disappointed, he originally planned to take the opportunity to rob something, but it turned out to be nothing.
After entering the boundary of Hengshan Ridge, Lu Yi put away the trap bird, teleported forward instead, and within half a month, he came to the small city established by the five brothers led by Lynx Yunzi - Tayun City. This small city is the only city within a radius of 10,000 miles, and it is also the preferred way for merchants to cross the Hengshan Ridge in the past, the city not only provides flying mounts and bodyguard escort business, but also set up a teleportation array a hundred years ago, which can go directly to the other side of the Hengshan Ridge, providing great convenience for those who are in a hurry. There are not many residents in the city, only less than 30,000 people, most of them are middle and low-level monks, who use the protection of Tayun City to practice at the foot of the Hengshan Mountains, and occasionally help passing caravans guide the way, escort or something to earn some hard-earned money. As the city lord, the five brothers of Lynx Yunzi have mastered a team of 1,000 monks, and the composition of the personnel is all monks of the fifth order or above, and they take the elite route, and there are not many people who are expensive. Tayun City also arranged two large arrays, both of which were sixth-order magic arrays left by Chen Yunzi to the five brothers, making the protection ability of Tayun City also first-class, and the reason why Tayun City is more famous in the Hengshan Ridge area is also because of the existence of these two magic arrays, one attack and one defense complement each other, and have protected the safety of countless caravans over the years. In places outside Tayun City, there are often bandits robbing, killing people and goods, doing all kinds of evil, and there are often monsters and beasts attacking passers-by.
The establishment of Tayun City has largely solved the problem of access and safety in Hengshan Ridge, and it can be regarded as the largest haven in the middle of Hengshan Ridge, which is why it is so famous and remembered.
