Hu Ye and Vanessa rode the horses left behind by the knight and walked unhurriedly towards Baishi Village. Although Hu Ye wanted to go back as soon as possible, the female thief was injured and couldn't go too fast.

Vanessa was silent all the way, and whispered to Hu Ye that night: "Why don't you go first, those soldiers who escaped will definitely go back and report to Count Ross, the Great Valley is their only way, you rush over first and kill those deserters, and there will be less trouble in the future." ”

Hu Ye smiled: "No wonder you have been thinking about it all day, you were thinking about it." This matter has been settled, don't worry! ”

Hu Ye's words surprised Vanessa, and she realized that he still had power in his hands that he didn't know. Thinking about Hu Ye's strength yesterday, the female thief was also secretly glad that she didn't lead her men to attack Baishi Village, otherwise she would have ended up with the same fate as those two knights.

For the next few days, the two stayed overnight. Every night after camping, Hu Ye would clean Vanessa's wounds and give her antibiotics to avoid infection.

The female thief also trusted Hu Ye more and more, and never asked him what exactly he was taking for herself, anyway, as long as Hu Ye gave it, she would eat it all.

After several days of trekking, the two finally returned to the vicinity of Shiraishi Village.

Hu Ye soon discovered that the work of paving the road had come to a standstill. The cement road was cut off more than a dozen miles from Baishi Village, and he didn't see Tongsu and any villagers busy, which made him feel a little dissatisfied.

"I've only been gone for a few days, and I'm starting to be lazy?" Looking at the empty construction site, Hu Ye frowned and muttered: "I'm going to leave for a hundred days next, and when I come back, I don't know what will become of here." ”

Seeing that Hu Ye was angry, Vanessa hurriedly whispered to him: "Don't rush to conclusions first, maybe they are in some trouble, let's talk about it after asking clearly." ”

The female thief's words also made some sense, Hu Ye nodded, and hurried to Baishi Village.

Completely different from the empty road construction site, Shiraishi Village is very lively, and everyone is building new houses in the village under the command of Tongsu.

Seeing Hu Ye returning, Bronze Whisker immediately strode up and said, "Lord Lord, you are finally back, our road construction plan is in trouble." The sheriff of the town of Shining Gold came the other day and said that we were not allowed to build any more roads without the Count's permission! ”

Only then did Hu Ye know that there was a reason why the road construction project was stopped, and he was secretly glad that he listened to Vanessa's advice and did not get angry at the dwarves as soon as he came up.

Since it wasn't Tongxu's fault, of course Hu Ye wouldn't blame him, and nodded lightly: "I know, because you can't build roads, so you let everyone start building houses?" ”

"yes!" Copperbeard smiled and said, "I discussed it with the Brown Knights, and we have to let everyone have something to do, so let's build a house first." ”

"You made the right decision." Hu Ye nodded and said, "Find someone to inform the Brown Knights, I want to introduce a new partner to everyone." ”

It didn't take long for the main members of the village to arrive, and everyone was relieved to see Hu Ye come back safe and sound. Now Hu Ye is the backbone of Baishi Village, if he has an accident, everyone will be leaderless.

Hu Ye introduced Vanessa to the crowd, saying that she would also stay in the village for the time being and serve as the deputy of the Brown Knight. Hu Ye was vague about the identity of the female thief, so as not to leak it out and attract the attention of Stormwind and Count Rose. At present, Baishi Village has just begun to develop, so it is better to keep a low profile.

Others also saw that Vanessa's origin was problematic, but out of trust in Hu Ye, everyone didn't ask more. This also surprised the female thief very much, only to know that Hu Ye's prestige in the village was even higher than she imagined.

Although Vanessa was Brown Knight's deputy, she was more interested in the construction work of the village. Now Vanessa is also a native of Baishi Village, and she can finally observe the use of cement generously.

Vanessa was amazed to see that the copper whiskers and the workers had built small buildings with cement in a short period of time. As the daughter of a stonemason, she knew exactly what that meant. If this material, called cement, is spread on a large scale, not only will many stonemasons lose their jobs, but they will even completely follow the construction method that subverts the mainland.

Looking at the neat small buildings, Vanessa couldn't help muttering: "A new era is coming......

Hu Ye didn't think as far as Vanessa thought, and now he was worried that the road construction project was forced to stop.

Originally, in Hu Ye's opinion, paving the road was also good for Shining Gold Town, and Count Rose should have strong support. I didn't expect the sheriff of Shining Gold Town to oppose paving, and I don't know what this guy has in his head.

"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads", this sentence is very reasonable. Sooner or later, the construction of Baishi Village will come to an end, and the cement produced will become an important source of income for the village.

If you want to transport a large amount of cement out, an easy-to-follow road is essential, so Hu Ye must complete this road. If he could, he would even be willing to build the road all the way to Stormwind. This will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the development of Baishi Village, which is likely to become even more prosperous than Shining Gold Town in the future.

"Looks like it's time to talk to Count Rose." Hu Ye stood on the high wall, looked at the road that stretched into the distance, and asked the Brown Knight behind him in a deep voice: "How are the militiamen training?" Can a large-scale battle be fought? ”

"The training time is still too short, but we have strong walls and assault rifles, and I don't think it's a big problem," Knight Brown mused. ”

"Good!" Hu Ye nodded with satisfaction and said, "You tell everyone to train harder and be ready to fight at any time." ”

The Brown Knight whispered, "Going to war?" Count Rose this time? ”

Hu Ye shook his head lightly and said, "I really don't want to turn my face with Count Rose right now, but ...... If the town of Shining Gold stands in our way, we'll have to kick it out of the way! ”

Knight Brown said in a deep voice: "As long as Count Rose dares to come, we will definitely make him regret it!" ”

Hu Ye nodded, and then asked the Brown Knight: "Has the new gunner been decided?" ”

The Brown Knight replied: "I've discussed it with Jeremy, and we've already selected three lads to start training tomorrow." ”

"Count Vanessa as well." Hu Ye personally made the decision, and of course the Brown Knights would not object.

However, before Vanessa can also learn to shoot, Hu Ye has another problem to solve. That night, Hu Ye came to the female thief's residence, and as soon as he entered the door, he whispered to her, "Take off your clothes!" ”
