Bai Zhiqiu left, leaving Bai Lan to sit outside alone. It's easy to get in, what to do after you go in, those aunts and sisters-in-law also taught me a few days ago.

But is it really going to be done? What Bai Lan wants in her heart is for Gu Xiangyang to accept herself emotionally, to know her heart, to communicate with her heart, and to be heart-to-heart. is not such a simple use of the flesh as a tool, so as to tie up Gu Xiangyang and make him feel guilty.

just missed this opportunity, as far as Gu Xiangyang's character is concerned, he can't fit other women in his heart, and the only gap may be left for Wen Yue.

Whether it is going in or leaving, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for Bai Lan.

The next morning, Bai Lan pushed open the courtyard door and left, and no one knew what had happened that night except herself.

And Gu Xiangyang slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and finally felt very bad, weak, dizzy and nauseous, all of which were post-drinking syndromes.

"Alas, I have to hide from the Bai family brothers and sisters in the future, this wine is refreshing when I drink it, but I am guilty when I wake up." Thinking so, Gu Xiangyang slowly paced back to his mansion.

Now that there is nothing to do left and right anyway, Gu Xiangyang began to concentrate on cultivation, the first level of the Heavenly Awakening Technique's unsullied body has been cultivated by him, and now he is moving towards the second level of immaculate body.

To say that the unsullied body is the foundation, forging itself into a perfect embryo. Then starting from the immaculate body, it is to add state to the body. The flawless body is to increase the body's ability to recover, no matter what kind of injury, as long as it is not missing arms or legs, those wounds can recover quickly and spontaneously, without leaving any scars.

And then there is the body of regeneration, the body of Vajra, etc., anyway, according to the heavenly awakening, as long as you come step by step, in the end, it is difficult to die.

Personally feeling the benefits of the Heavenly Awakening Technique, Gu Xiangyang decided to let Wen Yue and Bai Lan also practice this exercise together.

It's also strange to say, since the last time he got drunk, Gu Xiangyang often thought about Bai Lan, a little girl.

Take teaching Tianxing to make a decision, when I think of Wen Yue in my heart, I will think of Bai Lan.

Calling the two girls over, Gu Xiangyang taught them the exercises, and personally refined the medicinal liquid for them to soak and cultivate.

With the increasing fame of Huaxia City and the publicity of the caravans, more and more people came to settle in Huaxia.

In this way, Huaxia City, which has been expanded twice, is facing the need to expand again.

But in this way, Gu Xiangyang's monks were obviously insufficient, and it was impossible for Gu Xiangyang to waste too many of his subordinates in order to maintain law and order in Huaxia City. Having more high-ranking monks is the priority.

If you want to improve the cultivation of your subordinates, you must let them cultivate more, but more and more people are pouring into Huaxia, although it will make Huaxia's economy better, but it is also a trouble for their management.

After pondering for a long time, Gu Xiangyang decided to talk to the old man of the Bai family.

Old Man Bai was overjoyed when he saw Gu Xiangyang coming, and immediately arranged a banquet to entertain Gu Xiangyang.

Gu Xiangyang was not polite, and chatted with Old Man Bai and Bai Changshan while eating at the wine table.

"Old man, what do you have to pay attention to the situation I just said?" Gu Xiangyang asked.

"This situation is also simple to solve, one is to recruit people, set up an army, and assist in management, but then the financial expenditure will be much larger, and once something happens, the defense will be stretched. Instead, build a new city nearby, which will distract some of the manpower, but the effect is much better than expanding the city. I think...... You'd go for the second option, wouldn't you? "Old Man Bai seems to be confident.

"Hehe, the old man is the same as I thought? But how did you guess that I would choose the second option? Gu Xiangyang asked with a smile.

"This is very simple, this kind of thing has long been precedent in various forces, and building a new city is the best solution. Besides, if you want to expand the city, why do you come to me for advice on it? With your steel and cement construction speed, it can be completed in less than a month, right? Old Man Bai replied proudly.

"High, really high, the older a person is, the sharper his vision is." Gu Xiangyang admired: "I came this time to invite the old man to be the city lord." ”

"Haha, good! As long as you kid can afford me, I'll be at your disposal. Old Man Bai said happily: "Come on, after this glass of wine, let's discuss the affairs of Xincheng." ”

After eating and drinking, the old man and celebrity Bai withdrew from the banquet and brought a large map of animal skins and spread it on the table.

"Xiaogu, this is the surrounding geographical map that Zhiqiu and I drew in our leisure during this time." The old man unfolded the picture and ordered someone to fetch a few luminous stones for lighting.

"You see, this south is full of lofty mountains, and there are many fierce beasts, once the city is built, it will need a lot of manpower to patrol the surrounding area for safety.

And most of our western and northern areas are now the territory of the Fire Ox Country, and once the city is built on top, with the current attitude of both sides, it is very likely that it will cause trouble, so that the two sides will go to war. In this way, we can only increase our defenses, and now that the Fire Ox Country has sealed off its borders, no one will go there.

My suggestion is to build a new city to the east of Huaxia City, parallel to Huaxia City, so that we can double our territory, and the southern area behind us will become our back garden, and at the same time, we can also protrude the encirclement of the Fire Ox Kingdom to the east. ”

After the old man Bai finished speaking, he looked at Gu Xiangyang with a smug smile on his face. This is the quality of people who have been trained in the court, when there is something to do, when there is nothing to do, go to investigate; , research, analysis, once necessary, then these data and predetermined solutions are the embodiment of their own ability.

"How far is it from Huaxia?" Gu Xiangyang still asked another question.

"The Yuanying Monk can drive the flying sword in two days, and it will take more than five days to control the fierce beast mount, while ordinary people need three weeks to arrive." Old Man Bai replied.

This data is already very detailed, which is enough to show how much thought the Bai family has put into this.

"Very well, the new city is here, and I will build roads, establish post stations along the way, and send monks to garrison and patrol them to ensure safety. Once something is reported, it doesn't take a day for us to receive a report to help. After Gu Xiangyang finished speaking, he pressed his hand on the location of the new city on the map, and his eyes burst into light.

"Xiao Gu is wise, and the old man admires." Old Man Bai replied.

But he had already thought about these things carefully, and he knew the way to hide clumsiness, and he could not do anything absolutely, and all those who were wise and resourceful would show their flaws, so as to keep long-term peace. Take the vernacular of the earth, that is, everything should be given to the leader to give him a chance to play, so that he has a sense of accomplishment.

The two discussed properly, and Gu Xiangyang went to arrange forging, steel wire, and cement. These things are also confidential and cannot be made public.

The first phase of the new city was about the same size as the inner city of Huaxia, but at the core it was a large castle, and the outer city could be built when the population size increased.

At this time, the first priority was to build roads, and to build castle inns along the way.

When the roads are built and the post stations are established, the transportation of building materials will be much faster and safer.

After January, the new city was built. As for the name, Gu Xiangyang handed it over to the Bai family to pick it up by himself. Old Man Bai thought twice and named him Bai Lan.

This is homophonic with Bai Lan's name, and in the future, as long as Gu Xiangyang talks about Bai Lancheng, he will think of his daughter Bai Lan. That's a good move.

The establishment of Bailan City benefited Gu Xiangyang a lot, and Gu Xiangyang also positioned Bailan City as a commercial city, and all future commercial activities were transferred to Bailan City, and Huaxia City became a place of manufacturing and cultivation.

Compared with the prosperity of Huaxia, the Fire Bull Country is getting worse and worse, originally relying on the blood soul wine, the land of burial beasts and the fire bull trade, the trade of the Fire Bull Country is quite good, but since the two sides turned their faces and cut off trade, the Fire Bull Country can almost only rely on the fire cow trade to make money. The cultivation resources that were already scarce were now even more stretched.

And a large number of the residents of the original Fire Cow Country began to move eastward, gathering in Dingzhou City and the vicinity of the original Cangyan Sect.

What's more, he went directly to Yunzhou, which borders the east, and took the opportunity to settle in Bailan City in Huaxia, at least the Bai family had a good reputation in the Fire Cow Country before.

For this kind of thing, the Fire Ox Monarch is also helpless, and he doesn't want to care about it. The rich aura of the Cangyan Sect just provided him with cultivation, and at the current speed, as long as it took ten years, he would be able to break through the half-step transformation god and truly ascend to the upper realm.

Of course, before ascending, he would give Gu Xiangyang a profound lesson.

And the rise of Gu Xiangyang's side has also aroused the vigilance of other surrounding forces, the eastern part of the continent is actually more chaotic than the west, various forces and sects are intertwined, and the forces that have been balanced are now a little turbulent.

However, before these people could do anything, bad news came from the southern mountains.

On this day, Gu Xiangyang received an urgent report that a large group of fierce beasts had gathered in the southern mountains, just near Bailan City.

Moreover, there was also the death of the Jindan monk who went to investigate.

According to the information returned from the inquiry, there were at least ten or more half-step Divine Beasts there.

This can surprise Gu Xiangyang, and immediately mobilize all the monks of Huaxia City to defend.

It is not yet known where the target of the beast will be after it gathers, but judging from the current situation, Bailan City must be the most likely target to be attacked.

Gu Xiangyang divided the monks into three parts, the monks above the Yuan Infant level were a team, except for Elder Zhan, who left a half-step god to stay in Huaxia, the rest of the monks immediately went to Bailan City.

As for the remaining Jindan monks, Gu Xiangyang left one-third in Huaxia City, and these monks and the innate monks in the city, with the trebuchets on the city wall, were enough to guard for a while.

Of course, Gu Xiangyang still has a reinforcement, that is, the spider army, but now to gather them and rush to Bailan City, it is estimated that the two sides have already been separated.

Moreover, leaving the spider army in place can at least ensure that there are no fierce beasts and can attack Huaxia City from due south.
