For the next few days, Yao Ruoyu stayed in retreat, and the content of the retreat was simple, studying other people's martial arts.

This battle with Guang'an City made Yao Ruoyu discover one of his biggest weaknesses, not having a strong enough move.

What? There are no powerful moves? Co-author Trick Bai has such a great reputation, but there are no powerful moves?

No, trickery is powerful, but as Yao Ruoyu's current opponent's level continues to rise, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for him to blatantly perform trickery, after all, the stronger the more knowledgeable, who knows which opponent will recognize his trickery inheritance in the future, and then not only will he be unlucky, but even the entire Dawen city-state will suffer.

If trickery is excluded, then only "Ice Heart Technique" and "Heart Secret Sword" remain.

Although the former is a fifth-class general-level technique, the spiritual methods contained in it are either condensation tools or group battle spiritual techniques, and there are very few spells suitable for heads-up.

As for the latter, although Yao Ruoyu is now the heir of the Heart Sect, only he knows that this inheritance was snatched from the Heart Sect by the predecessors of the trick back then, and he is just an impostor.

Moreover, when the Trickery Sect snatched the inheritance of the Heart Sect, because of the desperate resistance of the Heart Sect, in addition to the core heart method, the last thing he grabbed was only the three secret skills such as [Void Soul] and [Unity Spirit Sword], and because of Yao Ruoyu's realm problems, at most the two secret skills of [Void Soul] and [Unity Spirit Sword] could be used, and the last move could not be used.

Therefore, when he fought with Wan Yan Yan and the others that day, Yao Ruoyu except for the [Ice Waterfall Sword] that he created himself could threaten the other party, and at other times, he often relied on the domineering attribute of the sword intent to destroy the enemy with brute force, and he didn't have any skill at all.

This kind of combat method was very suitable before the Four Realms, but after arriving at the Four Realms, Yao Ruoyu began to reveal that his secret skills were not enough, and it was difficult to completely release the embarrassing situation of his combat power.

Therefore, in the three days before the court meeting, he also thought about it carefully, and finally decided to study other exercises, not to practice these exercises, but to learn the advanced secret techniques.

The Trickery Sect has been inherited for thousands of years, although it has been underground since the fall of the Qin Dynasty, but there are not a few exercises that have been sought over the years, so in the ten days after the court meeting, Yao Ruoyu has always studied these secret techniques in his residence, and even eat, drink, and Lazar have been solved in his residence together, and he has not taken half a step towards the door.

Because of what happened last time, Wanyan Fuchan was still angry, and she only came back once in a while during Yao Ruoyu's retreat, and she usually didn't know where she went. However, Yao Ruoyu knew that with her temperament, she would be discouraged in a few days, so she didn't care.

*——*——*——*

At the same time, under the auspices of Xu Xuanrong, the construction of Sanjiang City and Yitong City is also in full swing.

The first is to choose the location of the two acropolis, which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Works, but it takes a few days to choose the place. It's just that when the city plan needs to be determined later, Xu Xuanrong is greatly annoyed.

The city is good, this city is based on the military fortress as the prototype, the overall planning is not complicated, two avenues cross to divide the whole city into four pieces, and then by a circle of city walls will divide the whole city into two urban areas, the inner city is the living area, the outer city is the military camp.

But the most irritating thing is Sanjiang City, which is the city that the Dali relics intend to use as a place to settle in the future, and they intend to build it to perfection.

It's just that when they handed the prepared plan to Xu Xuanrong, who is currently in charge of political affairs, the minister of the minister, who has always been calm and unhurried, almost fainted.

According to this plan, Sanjiang City can accommodate nearly one million people, and there are areas where the army is housed, as well as areas where ordinary people live, and even entertainment buildings such as the so-called gladiatorial arena, which is three times the size of Diaoyu City.

"Just make Sanjiang City the capital of the city-state!"

Xu Xuanrong, who was angry and laughed, directly tore the entire planning map to shreds, slapped the table and yelled at Duan Li.

Duan Li also knew that their plan was too ridiculous, so he could only take the roar with a dry smile and turn his head to study the plan again.

Finally, when the planning plan is ready, then the next step is to start building the city.

However, what made Xu Xuanrong speechless was that as early as after the site selection was over, Bai Qiuyu ordered people to move the local people, but until the planning map was ready, those people had not moved the people away.

After asking, Xu Xuanrong learned that after daring to let these household officials move to Diaoyu City directly, they didn't mention the issue of demolition fees at all, and the people in those towns and villages were unwilling to leave their homeland, so it became a stalemate.

As a result, when Xu Xuanrong mentioned the demolition fee, Bai Qiuyu looked blank and didn't understand what she meant.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that there is no demolition fee in this era, even when Yao Ruoyu proposed paid conscription, it will cause the people to cheer, which shows how low the status of the people in this era is.

However, after Bai Qiuyu followed Xu Xuanrong's instructions, informed those township residents that they could get a demolition fee, and mobilized some rural elders to mediate, he successfully persuaded those villagers to move to Diaoyu City.

The construction of the city does not need Xu Xuanrong to be in charge, Sanjiang City has Duan Li and others in charge, since this is their home, of course, they don't have to worry about it, and Song Kai is in charge of moving through the city, and Xu Xuanrong doesn't need to worry about it.

By the way, it needs to be mentioned here, because the overall construction of the city is purely based on the military fortress as a model, only bricks and tiles need to be prepared, and at the same time, the corporates of the literary and artistic army also act as a people's husband, they are all from the common people, and they will build bricks and walls, and the cost paid by Xu Xuanrong is not high, it can be said that this city is the lowest construction cost in history.

*——*——*——*

More than half a month later, Yao Ruoyu finally ended his retreat.

It's a shame to say that although he studied the secret techniques of other exercises every day for the past fifteen days, he never had any inspiration, or rather, these secret techniques did not fit in with his kendo, and even if he studied them, there was no point in learning.

However, without waiting for Yao Ruoyu to dispel this frustration, Bai Junru came over with the will from the Song Dynasty seven days ago.

Seven days ago, the imperial court suddenly issued an order, because the king of Wen Yao Ruoyu repelled the invasion of the Jin State several times, and the results were outstanding, he specially promoted the position of the vassal king to the first class, and put their newly built Sanjiang and Qiantong two cities under the rule of Wenbang, and gave the next batch of gold and silver, just to make up for the expenses incurred in the construction of the city.

However, Yao Ruoyu didn't react much to this, because he had already quickly thrown himself into the training of the Night Dragoon.

In the battle with Guang'an City, the Night Dragoon under Yao Ruoyu's command lost hundreds of people, and after that court meeting, Yao Ruoyu incorporated all the prisoners of the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia into the Night Dragoon, and supplemented part from the reserve battalion, expanding the original one battalion to two battalions, barely reaching the scale of the puppet military town.

Although the remaining 1,300 or so people of the Night Dragoon were all from the Three Realms, these captives were not weak.

The Guang'an army is all successful in the second realm, and the remnants of the Western Xia are all elite, in addition to the three borders, there are more than 20 people in the four realms, plus each other is a prisoner, they actually secretly joined forces because of the same disease, and several conflicts have broken out in the past half a month.

So Yao Ruoyu, who finally had a free hand, immediately dealt with the matter of the Night Dragoon.

His method was also very simple, directly teaching the "Night Dragoon Sutra" to these captives and the newly replenished soldiers of the reserve battalion.

As mentioned earlier, "The Dark Night Dragoon Sutra" has the effect of controlling other people's minds, although these people do not have enough trust and respect for Yao Ruoyu because of their identity, but as they begin to practice this mental method, their attitude towards Yao Ruoyu has also changed slightly, without the earlier hostility and rebelliousness, and there is a faint increase in obedience and compliance.

However, Yao Ruoyu also knew that after all, this group of people were all born as captives, and it was far from enough to completely control their minds by cultivating the mental method, and only by killing them on the battlefield a few times in the future could they wash away their last hostility and completely make them obey.

Of course, this matter is not in a hurry, although they have not completely obeyed, but at least they will not take the initiative to conflict with the original veterans again, and the veterans will naturally not deliberately provoke under the constraints of Yao Ruoyu, so the night dragoons can be put down for the time being.

After taking care of all the miscellaneous things, Yao Ruoyu and Wanyan Fuchan, who had been dissipated, were tired of being together all day long, and the two of them did not go to practice, they went to the city for a walk and shopping every day in disguise, and they were crazy about sprinkling dog food.

It's also a shame that others can't recognize the two of them after makeup, otherwise I really don't know what I will think when I see the greasy posture of King Wen.
