The players were equally dumbfounded.

The profession of warlock is even more unpopular than that of strategist, because they don't know what this profession is, and they don't believe that Zhang Jiao really has magic, after all, Zhang Jiao is just a poor and sour fool king in history, but in the game, Zhang Jiao really has magic.

I saw that Zhang Jiao drew the runes in the blink of an eye, and then a yellow flame appeared in his fingers, and he was about to burn the two drawn runes.

Lu Chen immediately stopped: "Daoist Zhang Jiao, please show mercy to your subordinates, compensate the coins, and we will go inside to discuss the payment." ”

......

Zhang Jiao glanced at Lu Chen, and when he saw a parrot embroidery bag in his hand, he immediately hesitated, glanced at Yu Wenyuan, and erased the two yellow talismans with his hand.

"Zhang Jiaodao, please."

When Lu Chen watched Zhang Jiao enter the post house, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, scratched a glance at Yu Wenyuan, who was already stunned, and muttered in a low voice: "You have nothing to provoke Zhang Jiao, it's too good, isn't it?" ”

Yuwen Yuan glanced at Li Long beside him, turned around and said with a sad face: "How did I know that he was Zhang Jiao, I just saw him using Huang Fu to save people, and then Li Long thought he was a liar, and when he was about to go up to arrest him, he knew that the other party was a big fool Zhang Jiao, and the result was ......"

Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "As a result, I was going to kill him, but I didn't expect that other people's kung fu was better than yours, right?" ”

Yu Wenyuan smiled awkwardly.

Lu Chen shook his head and glanced at Li Long, he was also helpless for him, his head was all on his ass, and he didn't ask about the background of marrying a wife, and he didn't ask about the name of the person he was arrested.

Li Long cooperated with Yu Wenyuan, a greedy person, and was not killed on the spot by Zhang Jiao, which should be regarded as good luck for the two of them.

If it weren't for the life talisman given by Zhang Ning in his hand, Zhang Jiao wouldn't have paid attention to himself.

Lu Chen changed the table again and ordered more than a dozen dishes of wine and food.

Zhang Jiao sat opposite, Lu Chen was also a little helpless, Zhang Jiao didn't talk to him the whole time, and only after eating and drinking enough, did he raise his head and look at Lu Chen.

"Daoist Zhang Jiao, I wonder if you can reveal something about the spell?"

Lu Chen asked tentatively: "Our aliens only exist in the imagination of the magic thing, I don't know if we can reveal a thing or two?" ”

Because after catching Zhang Ning last time, he asked some questions about the spell, but because Zhang Ning swore to die, as a result, he asked his daughter-in-law to persuade him, and finally got an embroidered bag life amulet.

Zhang Jiao glanced at the embroidered bag hanging from Lu Chen's waist, and immediately frowned lightly and said, "Spells, deductions, and formations are commonly used by warlocks. Spells consume essence, deduction consumes longevity, and formations exchange lives for lives. ”

When Lu Chen heard Zhang Jiao's explanation, he immediately understood why Zhang Jiao died.

I saw Zhang Jiao accept the compensation of thirty taels of gold, then turned around and left, did not talk to Lu Chen again, and drew a picture on the life talisman when he left, probably to strengthen Zhang Ning's lame charm.

He didn't ask Zhang Ning about it, but when he saw the life amulet, he didn't worry too much.

"Zhang Jiao's forced style seems to be quite high!"

Yuwen Yuan saw Zhang Jiao leaving, and suddenly slipped out, looking at Zhang Jiao's back and muttering.

"Su Datuo, how much compensation did he ask for from you?"

"Three hundred taels!"

"Damn, I'll just say, he's a liar!"

"Give money!"

"Give!"

"A horse is not a copper coin! Three hundred taels of gold! ”

"Damn!"

Lu Chen looked at the three hundred taels of gold in his hand, his face was beautiful, and he made ten times as much as he changed hands, two days passed, at noon, and the state set up a banquet in the Thorn Shi Mansion, and invited hundreds of officials, Lu Chen and other players were above the banquet.

Before the wine and food were served, Shi Dingyuan, an elegant military general, with a long sword at his waist, wearing an official uniform, holding a wine glass and inviting hundreds of officials to drink together.

Meantime.

A chime rings in the ears of the players participating in the banquet.

"Ding. Whether to take the task of conquering the Xiongnu and recovering the Hetao. ”

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, looking at the expressions of the players around him, and then saw rows of black-clothed martial artists appear around him.

"Pick it up."

"Ding. Congratulations on receiving the secret mission, the details of the mission have been kept secret, and you will return to the territory in three days to listen to the order, and the violators will be wiped out! ”

Due to the mission, the players did not speak, and Ding Yuan opened the military merit exchange, and nearly 800,000 military merits can be exchanged for a large number of things.

For example, food, armaments, etc.

This time, it was not distributed by the Han court, but by the local assassin history, the banquet dispersed, and Lu Chen and the others returned to the post house.

Although there are also expectations for Ding Yuan's issuance of tasks, the issuance of tasks is somewhat special, purely mandatory, or a secret mission, which is probably because the imperial court wants to recover the Hetao, but it cannot be made public, to prevent the Xiongnu from uniting with other foreign races.

There are three more items that have been replaced by military merit.

[Taishan Gong: Consume 10 million military merits]

[Official Position and County Guard: Consume 80 million military merits]

[Red Dragon Steel Armor: Consumes 140 million military merits]

When Lu Chen saw the new items added in the back, he unconsciously took a breath of cold air, and the consumption of military merit was frighteningly high, this should be the highest reward in the early stage.

The players gradually left, Lu Chen and the others also left, and when they passed through Yunzhong County, the traces of the battlefield had been cleared, and they entered the road crossing and arrived at Mole Nanting.

This is already the territory of Starfall City.

【Shengle Town】

【Order: Fish is high】

[Area: Thousands of miles]

[Upgrade: None yet]

Entering here, you can see a city wall under construction, which is the Shengle Town built on the original site of Mole Nanting.

The surrounding landscape has been completely renewed, no longer a barren grassland, and 1.1 million herders have been transformed into residents of Starfall City, and they have begun to build NPC villages around Shengle Town, and the process of clearing wasteland and transforming wheat fields is ongoing.

Shengle has all the infrastructure, and has recruited 6,000 guards to guard the town.

Lu Chen temporarily left Yang Feng here, he took Gao Shun and two battalions of light cavalry back to Xingluo Town, now the town is expanding rapidly, Xianbei Budugen surrendered, and Taihu Town in the north must also send a general to defend it.

Starfall's population was already 1.7 million, and it was definitely not enough to rely on one city and two towns, he had to build a third and fourth town.

The guards were also completely understaffed.

If Helian and Kebi can recover their vitality, Starfall City will be attacked on both sides.

When he returned to Starfall City, it was already nightfall, Tian Zhong arranged Gao Shun's residence, and Lu Chen entered the mansion to plan the choice of the new town.

Gao Shun was silent and said little, he seemed to have some resentment against Lu Bu's "abandonment", and Lu Chen was constantly condolences all the way, but they were all hot faces and cold butts.

Lu Chen is also inexplicably sad, anyway, people have already turned their hands, and if you follow Lu Bu, you may really die, it is better to follow Lao Tzu, and you will be able to eat and drink spicy food in the future, and you can make a lot of money.

sketch.

There is Taihu Town in the north of Xingluo City, Shengle Town in the south, and there is no town in the east, but there are two crossings in the east, one is Youzhou, and the other is Xianbei Dongting.

Lu Chen still chose to set up the town at the mouth of the mountain range, set it up as a Xiongguan, and named it Huguan Town.

The best location in the west is Xianbei Xiting, with mountains on the west, south and north, and the only crossing is at the junction of Hetao and Xiliang.

Turning over to the west, there is still a barren northern desert.

Lu Chen decided to establish Huguan Town first, and then expand his army to wait for Ding Yuan to attack the Xiongnu, attack Xiting, and include Xiting in the Starfall.

In this way, there are town buffers in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and they are temporarily friendly with Ding Yuan, as long as they defend Kebineng in the east, Helian in the north, and the Xiongnu in the west.

Sleepless nights.

The next day, he instructed Tian Zhong to lead Feng He to Gukou in the east to establish Huguan Town, and at the same time the residents of Shengle transferred part of it to Huguan Town.

The town of Huguan was established.

The temporary recruitment of six thousand guards was led by Feng He.

【Huguan Town】

[Town Order: Xing Xingye]

[Area: Thousands of miles]

[Upgrade: None yet]

Next is the expansion of the army, the Northern Desert Army and the Beifu Army began to recruit soldiers, the original military position remained unchanged, A Yu led the Beifu Army, Xu Rong led the Northern Desert Army, and Gao Shunte recruited the camp.

Three days passed.

The Beifu Army and the Northern Desert Army expanded, the eight-battalion military system remained unchanged, and the number of people doubled, from the original 800 battalions to 1,600 battalions.

6400 crossbow cavalry reduced to four battalions of crossbow cavalry; Four new battalions, two heavy cavalry battalions and two light cavalry battalions, the whole army was led by Ah Yu himself.

two battalions of heavy cavalry and two battalions of light cavalry; Two battalions of sword and shield soldiers, two battalions of archers, the whole army was led by Xu Rong.

Gao Shun's trap camp requirements were too high and the armament requirements were incomplete, so 800 trap camps were set up and handed over to Gao Shun for training.

The Guards were 3,200 men, temporarily led by two people, the rich three and the rich four.

The town guard army, 6,000 soldiers in one town, 12,000 soldiers in Xingluo City, first-class soldiers, the town camp was taken over by the guard army, Taihu Town was garrisoned by Yan Rou, Huguan Town was garrisoned by Feng He, and Shengle Town was garrisoned by Yang Feng.

Weight training is started throughout the city.

After arranging the army arrangement, Lu Chen ushered in the armament problem, the main problem was the armament trapped in the camp, the requirements were too high, which made Lu Chen's head hurt.

Meantime.

The lack of agricultural problems is that fruit seeds have already been planted, and vegetables are also cultivated rationally, but they are completely unable to grow in large areas in a short period of time, and meat has become the main food of the population.

The introduction policy of vegetables and fruit varieties began to be implemented.

The protection of new tree seedlings, the rational opening of rivers and canals, the planning and development of cultivated fields, and the scientific examination system for official positions have been implemented.

Lu Chen's face was already exhausted.

The establishment of the three towns, the opening of the post road, and the skyrocketing number of residents have made more and more things happen in Starfall City, and Tian Zhong has been overwhelmed, although he is only in charge of the affairs of Starfall City, but he has begun to face a state of collapse.

Talent is in dire need!

Lu Chen has realized that the current Starfall City is no longer the town.

The first imperial examination was held by Tian Zhong, and the annual scientific examination continued in the future, although it was only sufficient for the talents of the lower officials, but it could also temporarily reduce the burden on Tian Zhong.

Solve these city things.

Lu Chen came to a courtyard, which was garrisoned by Ayu troops, which was Budugen who surrendered last time, surrender and surrender are two different things, but Budugen is the essence of a hero in his bones, he is willing to surrender because his life is not guaranteed, but whether he surrenders or not, Lu Chen just smiled.

Xiaoxiong has his own place to return, this courtyard is very large, and it is full of Budugen's family, and Budugen's old housekeeper entered the courtyard with Lu Chen.

In the courtyard, Budugen was practicing martial arts, and the wooden stick was playing quite smoothly.

That's when it happened.

Budugen's wooden stick suddenly turned direction, and a stick stabbed at Lu Chen, who had just arrived, and with a bang, Lu Chen held the wooden stick and stabbed Budugen's throat.

Bu Dugen chuckled, turned the wooden stick in his hand in a circle, threw Lu Chen's wooden stick out, and in a change of hand, he slashed at Lu Chen's waist with one move.

Under the lightning flash, Lu Chen's agile body retreated sharply to avoid it, and the two fought for dozens of rounds, neither up nor down.

That's when ...

Budugen's three consecutive spears forced Lu Chen into a corner, and with a bang, Lu Chen hit the wall, and Budugen's wooden stick hit Lu Chen's chest.

"Boy, your marksmanship is good!"
