Chapter 285: Back to the City!
Seeing that this fat city lord was so sensible, Lu Chen was a little embarrassed, he took out some gold and handed it to the fat city lord, which startled the fat city lord and hurriedly refused. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, in the end, under Lu Chen's stern order, he still took it with trembling hands.
They rested in the City Lord's Mansion for more than two days. When everyone became energetic, Lu Chen gathered everyone to set off, and when they came out of the small city, they once again embarked on the return journey to the holy city.
They went back along the same road they came, and on the way, Lu Chen still wanted to let the hundreds of city guards go through it again, who would have thought that the mountain bandits who robbed the road on both sides of the road, after seeing Lu Chen and them, ran faster than rabbits one by one.
Moreover, it didn't take long for the news of Lu Chen and the others coming back to instantly spread all over the large and small mountain bandit villages on this road, so that in the back, they often couldn't see half of the mountain bandits all day, which made Lu Chen a little disappointed in his heart, and he also wanted to use those mountain bandits to temper his army. Looking at the way he is now, most of his plans are going to be in vain.
However, without the harassment of the mountain bandits, their journey was much faster. In just a few days, hundreds of people have already arrived in Minzhou.
Stepping into the territory of Minzhou again, looking at the city of Minzhou towering in the distance, Lu Chen felt a lot of emotion in his heart, his real rise can be said to have started here. As for the actions in Chang'an City before, they can only be regarded as petty fights.
They did not directly enter Minzhou City, but under the leadership of Lu Chen, they headed towards the valley where the Holy City was located.
After turning over the mountain range that surrounded the Holy City, the Holy City that was not very large appeared in the distance, and the clansmen of Luo Gong looked at the city standing in the valley, their eyes full of disbelief. It was hard for them to imagine that a city could really be built in such a deserted place.
With a thick doubt, these people followed Lu Chen and the others into the valley. Before they could get close to the Holy City, they saw that there were many people busy working in the surrounding fertile fields. When these people saw the people, they first stared at them vigilantly, but when they saw the faces of these people clearly, they all put down their work and respectfully saluted Lu Chen.
Lu Chen and the others also responded patiently one by one, and they seemed to be harmonious.
In this way, they followed the path in the fields and finally came to the city walls of the holy city. No one walked around, they all followed Lu Chen honestly, he had already warned the people of the Luo family before, let them not run around after arriving in the Holy City, after all, there were countless traps around.
There were two guards standing at the gates of the city, and they were very careful to observe the flow of people coming in and out. However, for these people who came in and out, the two of them did not check them one by one. After all, almost both of them know the people who live in this holy city, and they only need to look at their faces to know whether this person lives in the holy city or not.
Today, as usual, they stand guard at the gates of the city. The two used to be members of the same tribe, and after the tribe was destroyed, they followed some of the tribe to flee. However, it was then that they heard that a city had been built where they had lived, and that it was gathering their exiled tribesmen.
Although they didn't know what the city was at the time, they still came with a glimmer of hope for survival. Because the two of them were strong, they were successfully recruited into the Holy City City Guard, and after entering the City Guard, the two lived an unprecedented comfortable and happy life.
Although the training is usually harder, whether it is the house they live in or the food they eat, it is not comparable to before, which also makes them cherish their current life extraordinarily, and every time it is their turn to stand guard, they are very serious to prevent people with bad intentions from mixing in. Of course, there are basically no people coming, after all, the holy city can be called isolated.
The two were observing at the door, and suddenly, a team of people appeared in the distance. After seeing these people, the two of them immediately stared, and one of them said, "You go and inform the old patriarch now, and let the old man bring someone out to have a look."
The old patriarch they mentioned was very good to the people of the Holy City, and in general, when the city lord was away, it was this old patriarch who managed the city with Long Yan. However, now Long Yan is not in the city, so the only person in charge of the city is this old patriarch.
When the old patriarch led a group of city guards out of the city, the people outside the city had already approached.
After seeing the delicate face of the young man walking in front, everyone was stunned. Immediately afterwards, he saw the old patriarch walking up with a hint of surprise in surprise, and laughed, "It turns out that the city lord is back!" ”
And the city guards in the back, after seeing Lu Chen, gave him a salute.
Lu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Old patriarch, you first ask people to help these more than thirty people of the Luo family find a few houses to live in, and after a few days, build a few houses for them in the city." By the way, what's going on in the Holy City lately? ”
The old patriarch first glanced behind Lu Chen, glanced at the more than thirty Luo family members one by one, and then asked one person next to him to buy houses for these people. At this time, the old patriarch bowed his hand to Lu Chen, and said with a smile, "Report to the city lord, the development of the holy city is going well." However, it is precisely because of the rapid development that there is a lack of manpower and raw materials, especially those relatively large items, and we cannot transport them here from Minzhou City at all."
Hearing these problems, Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "These old patriarchs don't have to worry, among the more than thirty Luo families who came this time, there are two forgers." With the help of these two people, I believe that there are many things that could not be built before, and they should be able to be built now."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the old patriarch's slightly cloudy eyes suddenly burst out with two essences, and he said in disbelief, "Are there really forgers among these people?" Can they make those huge objects? ”
Seeing the suspicion on the old man's face, Lu Chen smiled very confidently, "Although I don't know how these two people are skilled. However, it is perfectly fine to make those large, simpler and cruttering items. ”
Hearing Lu Chen's assurance, the old patriarch's face suddenly showed a hint of relief. However, thinking of the Luo family members who entered the city just now, the old patriarch was still a little uneasy and said, "City Lord, the old man dares to ask, are these people reliable?" Do we need to send someone to watch them? ”
Hearing the old patriarch's words, Lu Chen groaned slightly, and then said in a low voice, "These people are all following Luo Gong, and there shouldn't be a big problem in terms of loyalty." However, just in case, you should send someone to observe secretly for a while, so that they don't find out."
The old patriarch nodded, and then the two of them walked towards the Holy City, and after Lu Chen entered the Holy City, he found that there were many more houses than when he left, and some small shops also appeared. (To be continued.) )
