The town of Zhenhuang under the heavy rain is like an inn that is about to open its doors at this time, and every citizen in the town is one of the owners of this inn, and they all want to show the best side of this southwest city in front of everyone in Daxia from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, in the past few days, if you walk in the streets and alleys of the deserted town, you will find the hospitable southwestern people, spontaneously gathering together in groups of three or five, pruning the branches and leaves of the trees on both sides of the street, green trees and red flowers, cleaning up the fallen fruits in the forest, making the whole city look simpler and cleaner.

The hospitality of the people of the southwest is engraved in their bones, but behind this city-wide action, there is also a little uneasy beating heart in their hearts, just like the rain that hits the marble flat ground today, up and down, up and down.

After so many years of life-and-death struggle with the desolate people in the Nanban Jungle, the sons and daughters of the desolate city of Leizhou Town have even become accustomed to facing dangerous life and death, but it is the first time that they have focused on the eyes of all the people in the entire Great Xia.

It's a very different experience, and the people of Leizhou are not only enthusiastic, brave, but also stubborn and arrogant, and they want to do everything to the best of their ability.

Therefore, not only the retired veterans like Lao Jin, who became the officials of the Guanyou Division, but also every citizen in the city treated it as if it was a battle, making the southwest city a few hours before the Valley of the Giants opened, unconsciously carrying a smell of pre-war iron and blood.

Rain is a frequent visitor to the southwest of Great Xia after the beginning of summer, so even if it is extremely important for the town of Huanghuang today, it still arrives as promised, and even with time, there is a tendency to become bigger and bigger.

In the heavy rain, located in the west of the town of Huangcheng, very close to the stone statue tower that goes straight to the sky, a large number of people wearing the robes of the Guanyou Division held umbrellas, and hurriedly entered the yamen from all over the country, including the Lao Jin family.

I saw that behind Lao Jin, who was striding forward, the girl Jin Yi and Ziyue followed closely, and the two of them who changed into a priest's robe had a different temperament, especially Ziyue, who put away the confusion on weekdays, and looked a lot more capable at this time.

Don't look at the little girl Ziyue is very arrogant on weekdays, but she is not very bold, at this time, looking at the surrounding officials with solemn faces, as if they were holding their breath before the start of the war, a trace of timidity flashed in their eyes, and they stretched out their hands and quietly grabbed the corner of Jin Yi's clothes on the side.

Then Jin Yi, a girl with a normal complexion, gently patted the back of the former's hand, and a reassuring voice came out:

"Don't be nervous, remember what you said and keep smiling. ”

After Jin Yi's words fell, Ziyue nodded heavily, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying, and then continued to murmur with a little apprehension:

"Smile, Ziyue should keep smiling!"

At the same time, on the wall of the sky adjacent to the Yamen of the Guanyou Division, two figures holding umbrellas stood in the rain, staring at the great southwestern city under the city wall.

The eyes of the two people on the city wall were full of the vicissitudes of time and sophistication, and then an old but extremely thick voice sounded faintly:

"Sun Sicheng, can you imagine that the large area below us on the west side of the new city, where inns, houses, squares and other buildings are being built, was still a primeval jungle full of hidden castles and traps at this time last year?"

After the words fell, Zhong Liye, the king of the Western Barbarians wearing a black royal robe, straightened his not burly body slightly, stretched out his right hand and pointed downward, and then continued to speak to Sun Qian beside him:

"Before Your Majesty pacified the Southern Barbarians, the Heavenly City Wall under the feet of the two of us was called the Hell Border by the Desolate People, because the Desolate People in the Primordial Barbarian Forest behind us left countless lives in the land before this city wall, and in their opinion, this is Hell. ”

Although the voice of the old Western Barbarian King was flat, it carried a domineering aura that made the surrounding void almost freeze, and then Sun Qian, who was wearing a brand-new Si Cheng robe beside him, stretched out his hand to press the city wall in front of him, and responded:

"The southwestern border has not been peaceful since ancient times, especially in the past few years, the desolate people often rioted and stormed the city walls, and even when Ben Si Cheng served in the Jade Dragon Pass of the Endless Mountain, he had heard a little about the dangers in this place.

"And all the sergeants in the Jade Dragon Pass admire you, the old prince, and the entire Leizhou people for their feat of independently guarding the southwest border for so many years. ”

"Because behind this wall is the home where we have lived for generations!"

There was a sigh in the voice of the old Western Barbarian King, and then his fingers turned slightly, stretching out to the huge stone statue tower below the two, and the voice continued to say:

"In fact, there were originally two city walls on the southwest border, which are now the location of the town desert square below, because there were originally strategic depth considerations, there were two border walls inside and outside, not only that, but there was also a large area of primeval forest as a buffer between the border city wall and the center of the town desert city. ”

"The two armies are facing each other, and there are many choices for the depth and length, which can be detoured, so our human race has always attached great importance to it. ”

After a slightly leaky voice came out of Sun Qian's mouth, he lowered his head and looked at the southwest border where a brand-new city had appeared, with emotion in his eyes, and then sighed sincerely:

"The world is changing, and who would have thought that the borders of hell will become wider and ruins, and the wild jungles will turn into new cities, just in the blink of an eye, the world says that the avenue is infinite and the manpower is limited, but the energy that bursts out with the strength of countless people is beyond imagination, because it represents a miracle. ”

Those who have not experienced this infinite change can hardly understand the inner emotion of the two people on the city wall at this time, and the scene outside the border city wall that is completely different from the past is just a microcosm of the earth-shaking changes in the town desert city.

"In fact, many years ago, this king once imagined that if my town and deserted city could one day completely get rid of the invasion of the southern barbarians, how to develop, my Leizhou town guarded the southwest, as if it had been disconnected from the rest of the entire Great Xia, so at that time, the king's most direct idea was to approach the surrounding Fuzhou and Shunzhou.

"But Fuzhou has world-famous porcelain, and Shunzhou also has the fruits that sell well in the whole of Great Xia, and my Leizhou, except for the loyal and scarred barbarian army, can't take anything that can be traded, so the old man has been thinking about how to find a new way out for the people of Leizhou after the Nanban War. ”

When the words of the old Western Barbarian King lingered in his ears, Sun Qian's face beside him gradually became extremely solemn, and then the voice came out word by word:

"The people of Leizi are really respectable and lamentable!"
