Lu Chen nodded, and said, "You tell Long Yan to send more people to the surrounding mountains to stand guard, as long as they find any abnormalities nearby, let them come back in time to inform."

The old patriarch also sighed lightly, and said, "This can only be done, I hope this Tubo is because he has no time to take care of us, and not for other reasons."

The two talked for a while, but at this time, they saw the two forging masters of the Luo family walking in from outside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After seeing Lu Chen, the two of them seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly, "Lu Chen, what's that.... Can you help us build two forging rooms, they don't need to be too big, as long as they can complete simple forging."

Hearing this, before Lu Chen could speak, he saw the old patriarch next to him and said with a smile, "Naturally, if the two of you have any other requirements, you can put it forward, although we don't have a good craftsman here now, but we will try our best to satisfy the two of you."

Hearing this, the two hurriedly thanked the old patriarch. After all, they can be said to be under the fence now, and now they are still asking for others, which makes the two feel very embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen just smiled slightly, he naturally knew the reason why the old patriarch was so enthusiastic. Nowadays, there are many facilities in this holy city that cannot be completed due to lack of raw materials, if these two forgers can forge these devices, at that time, the holy city will have a qualitative leap in both defensive facilities and daily facilities.

The old patriarch did not send someone to build a forging room for these two forging masters this time, but he personally went into battle. Because he is not worried about others, it is more reassuring to play by himself, which can also be seen how much the old patriarch attaches importance to these two forging masters.

When the old patriarch left with the two, Lu Chen found Longyan and asked about the city defense facilities. Although since the establishment of the Holy City, it has not experienced a major war. However, Lu Chen did not dare to be careless. Especially after the old patriarch expressed his doubts just now, Lu Chen became more concerned about this city defense. He even thought that when he had time in the future, he should go to Tubo to find out the news. Otherwise, this matter will be a hidden danger sooner or later.

After Lu Chen dealt with the affairs of the Holy City, he sent people to Chang'an City to inquire about the recent situation in Chang'an City.

Although Chang'an City is still very calm on the surface, in fact, there is an undercurrent. Not to mention the princes who move frequently, even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are now beginning to be active and ready to stand in line, they are afraid that they will stand on the wrong team, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, those who support other princes will probably be dismissed and investigated openly and secretly.

Although Lu Chen was not interested in these things, he had to grasp these news to determine how he should develop next. What's more, the Lu Mansion is in Chang'an City. When those princes start a struggle, there will definitely be a lot of forces to win them over the Lu Mansion.

After all, Lu Yi is also a top-level figure in the military, and if he can be brought over, it will be a big help that cannot be ignored for any force. Therefore, even knowing that Lu Yi and the hussar general have always remained neutral and never participated in the struggle between those princes. However, there are still many people who do not give up. The people who secretly went to the house of the two to woo them never stopped.

Lu Chen was afraid that after these people failed to win over, they would hold a grudge and secretly retaliate. Although there are many guards in the Lu Mansion, there is no shortage of powerful people. However, these people can't guard his mother all day, Lu Chen is afraid that his mother will be poisoned when she is outside.

After sending people to Chang'an, Lu Chen began to think about the construction of this holy city behind, although the holy city could be built according to other city models. However, Lu Chen, who was cautious, was bent on strengthening the defensive capabilities of the city wall.

It looked around the current city walls, and the stones were cemented with cement he had invented, which was much stronger than the others. The only downside was that they didn't have a lot of manpower and because they were pressed for time. Therefore, the thickness of this wall is not enough. Compared with the city wall of Chang'an City, it is four or five meters thinner, which also invisibly weakens the defense of the city wall.

While thinking, Lu Chen circled around the outer walls of the Holy City. Looking at the bare city wall, Lu Chen's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he could have inserted a circle of spikes into these city walls. You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, in addition to entering through the city gate, when attacking the city, it was generally with the help of tools such as rushing cars, ladders and catapults to storm the city wall.

The first two types of equipment are generally used to assist the besieging soldiers to rush up the city wall, and if a few rows of spikes are inserted on the edge of the city wall, those enemy troops who attack the wall will be easily stabbed by them.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately found Long Yan and told him this idea. And Long Yan's eyes lit up after hearing Lu Chen's thoughts. After the two of them simply sketched the shape of the spike, they went to find the two Luo family forgers.

The forging room of these two people was not built in the city, after all, the continuous sound of iron every day would disturb the rest of the others. Moreover, the two also wanted this quiet place to carry out their work.

After Lu Chen and the others walked along the field path for a while, they came to the four stone houses a moment later, and the old patriarch built a total of four stone houses for the two of them, two of which were their forging rooms, and the other two were small warehouses for storing raw materials.

Lu Chen and Luo Gong came to one of the stone houses and knocked lightly on the wooden door. Soon, the wooden door was opened, and a messy old man walked out. Seeing that the person who came was Lu Chen, the old man hurriedly said, "It turned out to be the city lord, I don't know why I came to find the old man?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen did not directly say the purpose of his visit, but smiled and said, "I wonder if the predecessors are satisfied with the current forging room?" Hearing Lu Chen's inquiry, he saw that the old man was very serious and said, "Thank you very much to Mr. Lu for allowing me to have a place to settle down." Otherwise, we would still be in that treacherous mountain range, and we might even have been captured by the Taishou army. This forge room is very comprehensive, you guys bothered."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Seniors don't need to be so modest, with the talents of the two seniors, no matter where they go, I believe they will be reused." Even if it is the Taishou of Nayizhou, I am afraid that he is not willing to kill the two forging masters. I won't talk nonsense about delaying the time of the two of you, I came this time to ask the two of you to do me a favor. Can you both help me forge some spikes? ”

After hearing Lu Chen's words, the old man did not hesitate at all, and immediately said, "As long as it is not too exquisite, I still have some confidence." I wonder if the castle lord has a structural diagram? (To be continued.) )
