Chapter 21: The Establishment of the City
Naturally, all kinds of things in Flame City spread quickly all over the world, and at the same time, more and more people re-examined these seemingly ridiculous decrees.
And all these changes made Situ Hao, the city lord of Flame City, more and more happy, he was now full of all kinds of treasures sent by those merchants, and at the same time, Flame City was also led by those merchants to start the expansion and renovation.
And businessmen do all this "for free".
They don't need Blaze to pay them a penny, but they do need Blaze to give them a promise that they will always be allowed to do business here, and that their taxes will never be raised.
For this matter, Situ Hao didn't need to ask Han Long, so he nodded directly and allowed it, he naturally wouldn't worry about this kind of mutually beneficial thing.
And when Flame City was booming, Han Long, who was far away from the other direction, finally arrived at the destination of their trip with many of his subordinates.
"Is this the frontier?" After walking through Qingyou City, they also arrived at the destination of Han Long's trip.
Outside the Qingyou City, before they reached the place of a hundred miles, they already felt a thick dead silence, which made Han Long and his party feel not very good in their hearts.
"This is just the outside of Qingyou City, there are still one hundred and fifty miles away from the frontier, and as for the frontier, there is still the Dajin Kingdom!" Han Long sighed leisurely, and at the same time explained to them, "Among them, the two cities of Dajin, Shangcai and Qifeng, can be said to be our biggest threat!"
After Han Long finished speaking, Li Ru also took over the conversation, "Dajin Kingdom is really not very strong, they don't like people's livelihood, and they don't like to engage in farming, and most of their land is grassland.
Therefore, they do not have a few cities, they are more of various tribes, among which their people are ordinary people, soldiers in wartime, and they have been skilled in archers and horses since childhood, and their bravery is abnormal.
The most special thing is that whether they are monarchs or ordinary people in Dajin Country, they are used to plundering, and they will come to our Fuling Kingdom to plunder after the grain is ripe.
And when we are weak, they will rush out to launch a war of annihilation against us, although we have survived for so many years, but the threat of the Dajin Kingdom to us has always been in our throats. ”
Li Ru had traveled to many places back then, although he had never been to Dajin Country, but he knew a lot about the rumors there, and now it was an excellent thing to have him to supplement Han Long.
After hearing this, Han Long also nodded and said to the people under his command.
"The mission we are waiting for this time is to successfully build here, and then successfully gain a foothold!" Han Long said his goal, "At the same time, a special team has appeared hundreds of miles outside this quiet city.
It is not known who they were, where they came from, but they just appeared so suddenly, and then slaughtered thousands of people in more than a dozen villages on the frontier, and then disappeared again. ”
When he said this, Han Long couldn't help but sigh a little.
Just now he wanted to ask the Sun Peishan Sun City Lord in Qingyou City, but the people didn't even show their faces, as if Han Long and their group didn't exist, and they didn't have any intention of appearing at all.
For this reason, Han Long was also quite helpless, but although he was helpless, he couldn't say anything, after all, Sun Peishan's identity and status were not comparable to him as a down-and-out prince.
As the largest city in the frontier, Qingyou City has guarded the Fuling Kingdom for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is a well-deserved big city in terms of solidity and land occupation!
And Qingyou City is not only a big city, but also one of the few first-class cities in Fuling Kingdom, and one of the largest cities.
At the same time, as the city lord of Qingyou City in Fuling Kingdom, Sun Peishan is a first-class city lord, the Zhenbei general of Fuling Kingdom, as one of the four towns of the Four Expeditions, and one of the famous eight King Kongs in the military of Fuling Kingdom!
Moreover, because of the frequent wars in these years, Tian Ze, the general of Zhengbei, has died on the battlefield against Dajin, and the general of Zhengbei is still vacant.
And Xiahou Chun, the general of Zhengnan who sat in southern Xinjiang to suppress those barbarians, and Xiahou Qing, the general of Zhennan, are a pair of brothers, and they are now over 100 years old, that is, they have cultivation that is infinitely close to Jindan, and they are already too old, and it is difficult to make any more progress.
The east and west directions are not a big deal, but those are the hands of many princes, and to be honest, they don't have absolute real talent.
And Sun Peishan is not clear, Zhenbei General Sun Peishan is not like others, he really has enough ability, he has been guarding the frontier of Fuling Kingdom and Dajin for more than 300 years, and the cultivation of Jindan in the later period is one of the top combat forces in Fuling City!
For such a neighbor, Han Long can only endure it again and again, there is no way to do this.
And when Li Ru and the Huo family brothers heard Han Long say that they and the others still had such a terrible enemy, they were really a little nervous.
Han Long, as the seventh prince of the royal family, was sent here by his own father, so naturally there was a lot of news that they didn't know, and now that even Han Long didn't know anything about those people, they could imagine how mysterious this was.
But although I feel mysterious, I don't feel any fear, who are they, who don't feel that they have extraordinary abilities, although they are not arrogant, but they will definitely not be frightened by such a small thing.
"No matter if they are mysterious demons and monsters, if they dare to disturb us, then I will chop them all up one by one!" Huo Du still had such a big temperament, looking like he was not afraid of anyone, but it made them laugh out loud.
And Han Long was also amused by Huo Du's appearance.
At the same time, a voice appeared again in Han Long's mind.
"Publish Mission: Foothold: Have your own foothold and successfully build your first city.
Rewards: One luck magic weapon, three character summons, one special exercise, and one set of special magic weapons. ”
"Mission: Find out the truth: More than 1,000 people in the border of Fuling Country were slaughtered by inexplicable forces, find out the truth, don't solve this matter.
Task rewards: a few luck, the system opens the mall function, and a special building!"
Looking at the two tasks that suddenly appeared, Han Long also had some various feelings in his heart, and then directly started to distribute their respective tasks.
After arriving at their destination, Li Ru and Han Long walked around here together, since they wanted to build a city, then choosing a location was a very important thing.
Zheng Zhong is naturally by Han Long's side, in addition to acting as a guard, more to provide some advice to Han Long, Zheng Zhong, as a gardening person, really has a lot of understanding of soil water quality.
The Huo family brothers did not stay by Han Long's side, but were directly arranged by Han Long to disperse.
"More than ten villages, thousands of people!" Han Long looked at this barren land, beckoned the Huo family brothers to his side and ordered, "It's impossible that there is not a trace left, go and look for it, see what you can find?"
"Obey!" After the Huo family brothers received the order, they began to search for the three hundred people under their command.
Now that a few people are no longer what they used to be, after Han Long recovered from his injury, he finally understood that he could no longer blindly seek speed, and he was directly and steadily cultivating, and now he was already a monk in the middle stage of Qi cultivation.
Although he is still physically weak, although he still does not have much combat power, at least he is not purely helpless.
And Zheng Zhong not only had to run around and run west during this time, but also served Han Long, but his cultivation was already approaching the late stage of Qi training, and this kind of talent, such a fast improvement speed, could not help but be envied by Han Long.
As for the Huo family brothers, Huo Jun is still quite mysterious, but it is certain that Huo Jun has not yet reached the point of building a foundation.
As for Huo Du, because he is practicing the outer door exercises, it is different from what they say, now Huo Du shows a bronze complexion all over his body, once Zheng Zhong tried Huo Du's skin and flesh with the sword in his hand, although he can't be invulnerable, but if his cultivation is not high, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to be seriously injured.
The only one who made everyone unable to figure out the depth was Li Ru, who finally joined Han Long.
As the latest person to cultivate, Li Ru was already an old man when he started cultivating, Mo said that he missed the best cultivation age, and the root bones and meridians were already aging, etc.
At this age, except for Han Long, everyone doesn't think that this person will have any good future prospects.
But now, Li Ru doesn't seem to have any cultivation in his body, but it is becoming more and more incomprehensible, especially Zheng Zhong, who has the highest cultivation on the surface, and his eyes are weird when he looks at Li Ru.
The Huo family brothers have dispersed, and Li Ru, Han Long, and Zheng Zhong have also traveled a lot.
"This place is backed by the river, although there are no mountains and rivers to rely on, but at least you don't have to worry about the water source, if you build a city from this, would it be good?" Han Long found a place that seemed good, he didn't know much about this, but he knew that there was water here, and to build a city, he needed to be close to the water source.
However, after Han Long finished speaking, Zheng Zhong and Li Ru shook their heads together.
"Because of the water, the soil is so soft that if it were a village or a few houses, it would be fine, and if the city was built, the walls would not be able to stand up. Zheng Zhong rejected the proposal from a construction perspective.
"The river water here is too shallow, although it is enough for the people's livelihood, but it does not have any protective effect, and if the city is large in the future, after there are more people, this river water will not be enough!" Li Ru rejected Han Long from a strategic point of view.
After the opposition of the two people, Han Long also gave up and asked directly towards Li Ru, "If you have any good suggestions, you can just say it!"
"Lord, why don't you build a city in Feihuyu?" Li Ru said a place name, and Zheng Zhong and Han Long's hearts directly missed two beats.
