"There are a lot of rumors about the Crazy Sea, some people say that he devours people's spirits, of course, this is because of the legend that he practiced the Drifting Snow Gate exercises, but I think it's unlikely, how can the Drifting Snow Gate's exercises flow out? The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Black Cliff let out a long breath and said, "But in terms of his strength, he only has a spirit master level, which is incredible, he has been on the border for many years, and he is still so young? ”

"Well, there is indeed a problem. Jialan pondered for a moment and said, "Anything else?"

"Then there's about Xuanyuan Ruohua, he doesn't deal with Crazy Sea very well, it is rumored that his brother was framed to death by Crazy Sea, but he doesn't have conclusive evidence yet, I think that's why he wants to stay. "Black Cliff came one after another.

"I see, no wonder he wants revenge but won't let me interfere. Jialan leaned back in her chair and looked up at the roof.

"Well, Xuanyuan Ruohua suspects that the sea is colluding with the barbarians. Black Cliff added.

"So, he's a traitor?" Jia Lan sat upright, her eyes cold.

Here's what the information gathered says. Black Cliff looked at Jialan's eyes and his heart was also tight, Jialan's eyes he had seen before: he still remembered the bloody and bloody massacre at the beginning, and the memory of killing several cottages by one person was recalled again.

"Hmm. Jialan fell into silence, and after a long while, she spoke: "Inform the troops, we will disperse the troops and inspect the entire city wall." ”

"Yes, so how do you distribute people?"

"The Blood Guard follows me, and the others let Xuanyuan Ruohua arrange it, and then send you a task to gather all the Shadow Clan people and keep an eye on the Crazy Sea for me at all times. ”

"Understood. "Black Cliff takes the order.

Xuanyuan Ruohua is worthy of being born in a family of generals, and the orders given by Jialan were quickly arranged, which made Jialan very satisfied. The border is very long, and Jialan and her people are constantly patrolling, so to speak, in different places every day. When he was halfway there, Jialan found that there was also a small city on the border, which Jialan didn't expect at first, and there was no mention of this town in the information he got; And this small city is called Ember City, which is closer to the barbarians than the area of the General's Mansion. And there are many ordinary people living here, and it has been multiplying for many years. It's just that it's far from the pipeline to the border, so slowly, the garrison builds new camps elsewhere.

"So that's the case, pass on my general order, the large troops will be drawn one after another, and they will be concentrated in Ember City!" "Jialan decided to transfer the large army to the Ember City to station, guarding the border is not to fight against the barbarians, this is the closest place to the barbarians, and it can also play a role in making the sea show its feet, why not do it."

"General, this ・・・・・・" The veteran was a little puzzled, the generals in the past were unwilling to spend more resources here, the general in front of him was really different, he didn't have the idea of filling his own pockets at all, and it was rumored that he also used his spirit jade to buy equipment for the soldiers.

"We're here to defend against the barbarians, what's the use of hiding so far away? Just you go and inform Xuanyuan Ruohua, go quickly!" Jia Lan decided that the veteran would go and do this now.

"Yes!" the veteran was a little emotional and took the order.

After Jialan inspected a circle, it was already the middle of spring when he returned to the large army, and it took nearly half a month to prepare for the completion of the preparations, and it was not a simple matter to move the garrison, it would take a long time to get instructions after reporting to the Imperial Capital Military Department, of course, most of this kind of thing would be passed, but this process could not be omitted;

However, these things are handed over to Xuanyuan Ruohua to do, and Jialan put his mind on the promotion of Huangfu Wushuang, first prepared the elixir, and then found a secluded place, which made Huangfu Wushuang start to advance; ？

Put the newly promoted Huangfu Wushuang into the palace to stabilize his cultivation, and Jialan returned quickly.

With a large army back to the Ember City, I found that the Ember City had been captured, and there were not many people in the city, but there were even fewer at the moment, according to the remnants of the people in the city: The barbarians are coming!

Jialan was very surprised, such a big thing, why didn't anyone report it to herself? What about the soldiers who stayed here? After asking, it turned out that it was the sea that ordered the construction of Ember City, and most of the soldiers were sent to carry building materials, and when the barbarians attacked, except for the two thousand regular troops in the city, the others were the defense forces organized by the people in the city themselves, which was the opponent of the barbarians! But there is still no evidence, Jialan knows about reinforcing the Ember City, and it is no problem for Crazy Sea to do this, and it can even be said that he is helping Jialan, but as soon as the soldiers left, the barbarians came, how could this be such a coincidence?

At the same time, Jialan recruited soldiers in the city, replenished the troops, and stationed them in the city, and ordered the blood guards to train these defenders.

Moreover, Jialan also recruited a large number of craftsmen and laborers to repair the city wall as soon as possible. According to the local population, there is a lot of hard stone in the mountains near Ember Castle, which is very suitable for defensive walls.

Hearing this, Jialan sent people to investigate the area around the town, and found that there were indeed many good things in this far north, but no one thought about these things, because everyone was guarding against barbarian invasions, and no one cared about these products with economic value.

During the exploration, Huangfu Wushuang and Jialan found three spiritual veins here, of course, they couldn't let it go, and directly put away the spiritual roots, and arranged for the blood guards to secretly mine the spiritual veins, this huge income can do a lot of things. As for the large quantities of exotic ores and metals found, Jialan marked them and did not touch them.

Back in the city, in order to prevent the barbarians from invading again, Xuanyuan Ruohua put a large number of soldiers on guard, and Jialan was very satisfied to see this. Coming to a remote place, Jialan took out the contact things and contacted Yin Yang Island: ask Murong Yu to come quickly with people from the business side, if you want to establish power, the resources are indispensable, although there are three spiritual veins, but sooner or later they will be exhausted, so it is most accurate to establish a business system of your own.

After Murong Yu got the news, he said that he would leave immediately, and told Jialan that he would change his name to Yu Rongmu; Jialan had a general plan for what Rong Mu would do after he came: first, let him arrange people to come here to mine minerals, transport them back to sell, and make huge profits; for this, Qin Shang could help. At that time, Jialan will send some old and weak soldiers to escort them, and the reasons are all found, so they will say that they are a team to transport building materials for construction. The second is to secretly mine the spirit jade, part of which is left in Huangfu Wushuang for daily expenses, and the rest is transferred by Yu Rongmu.

However, this kind of thing still has to be done on the official side, so Jialan reported to the imperial capital, explained the importance of Hanyan City, and put forward a request to build a city defense on the spot. After all, Jialan said that the cost could be kept very low, and many materials could be taken locally, which made the officials in the imperial capital not wary of Jialan at all.

Things started to be a little messy, but Yu Rongmu's ability was still undoubted, and it only took nine days to arrange things smoothly.

"Brother, let me say, you are more suitable to be the head of the house. "Jialan and Yu Rongmu came to a secret place.

"Xiao Wu, don't talk about this, we are all people with deep hatred now, everything is based on you, and my brother's life is ready to be handed over to you at any time. ”

"Brother, if that day comes, I will send you back to Yinyang Island in advance, and then the eighth child will also go back, and the family will live in peace. ”

"You, why are you so pessimistic?"

"Things should be done for the best expectations, the worst plan, in the future, we will have less contact with each other, if there is anything, you can find Huangfu Wushuang and let her tell me. The two didn't dare to communicate too much, so they separated after a simple expression.

Yu Rongmu didn't just make money, but also used the resources he earned to repair the city wall according to what Jialan said, but these are too different from transporting the resources of the far north back to the inland and getting big profits;

Yu Rongmu understands that Jialan is afraid that something will happen to her, and Yu Rongmu can quietly return to Yinyang Island with this huge resource, but Jialan still wants her to take out 20% of the net profits to fund the construction of the border city, which will also make Jialan feel more at ease, and Yu Rongmu also feels reasonable.

However, Jialan instructed Yu Rongmu that the discovered ore veins and spiritual veins must be mined as soon as possible, not delayed, and not afraid of waste, and transported the things away as soon as possible and exchanged them for currency.

The construction of the ember city was very fast, and Yu Rongmu transferred all the people who could be mobilized in Zhongyi Village; during the construction period, Jialan burned the formation on the city wall, which greatly increased the defensive power of the city wall.
