Wu Qianyuan lingered in Taiping City for a day, and before dawn on the second day, he hurriedly left Tougou Mountain with his men and horses.

Zhang Chu did not stay, and personally sent him down the mountain.

After the two said goodbye, Zhang Chu saw Wu Qianyuan covered the top, brought a hat, rode a horse to meet the first morning light in the east, and gradually drifted away......

Zhang Chu knew that Wu Qianyuan was in such a hurry to leave because he was afraid that it would affect him.

He really can't withstand the involvement of Wu Qianyuan now......

After Wu Qianyuan left, Zhang Chu quickly packed up his mood and reinvested his energy in the planning of Taiping City.

Dogtou Mountain is not a big mountain, the altitude is only seven or eight hundred meters, fortunately, the mountain is gentle, the slope is small, there are many open spaces for building houses, and there is a tributary of the Xuanyan Grand Canal with abundant water at the foot of the mountain on the left, which can build an embankment to intercept the river water and supply the domestic water of Taiping City, as well as irrigation water.

Considering various geographical conditions, Goutou Mountain has the qualifications to build a city, and it is not too big a problem to settle 50,000 or 60,000 people.

Zhang Chu also thought so at first.

But after carefully surveying the entire Goutou Mountain, he found that there were only 30,000 people living on the Dogtou Mountain.

No matter how much it is, it doesn't mean that it can't be lived, but it will make the living space on the mountain extremely crowded!

In order to build this city, don't spend manpower, material resources, and energy, even he himself went to the construction site to carry stones, and spent so much thought, of course Zhang Chu didn't want to build a dirty, messy, and poor slum.

But he has already promised Wu Qianyuan to take over the thirty or forty thousand displaced people, so he can't go back on his word now on the grounds of "too many people", right?

Zhang Chu had a headache.

......

The summer heat is getting stronger, and in a blink of an eye, the summer solstice has arrived.

The first rays of fiery red sunlight in the morning passed through the carved wooden window, slamming Zhang Chu's face and waking him up from his sleep.

He opened his eyes, felt the jade arm tightly wrapped around his neck, slowly lowered his head, and saw Xia Tao sleeping soundly in his arms without sleeping, with a drop of saliva hanging on the corner of his mouth.

He suddenly scolded "Han Po Niang" with a smile and a smile!

No wonder Lao Tzu kept dreaming of being choked last night......

He lightly moved Xia Tao away, sat up, and slowly went through what he was going to do today.

After he was fully awake from sleep, he got up and walked to the dresser, opened a small drawer, and took out a palm-sized bottle of thick-bellied green jade medicine.

"Ding Ding ......"

The pill slammed into the jade pill bottle, making a clear sound without any noise.

Zhang Chu took the wax seal of the medicine bottle and poured it into the palm of his hand, and two black pills the size of glass beads slid into his palm.

Don't get me wrong.

This is not a tiger and wolf medicine that tonifies the kidneys.

Although Zhang Chu was really hard last night......

This is Jiaogu Dan.

The last two grains!

When he walked out of the camp of the Zhenbei Army, he had a total of more than eighty Jiaogu Pills on his body.

He exchanged all the military exploits he had accumulated on the way to the south.

At that time, he estimated that these Jiaogu Dan were enough to support him until he had completed half of his four exercises.

But in fact, before he could complete his three exercises, more than eighty Jiaogu Pills were exhausted, and the consumption rate was nearly twice as fast as he expected.

Eight grades of marrow, practice to the back, become stronger is not only the density and strength of the bones.

There is also a physique...... Or it is more appropriate to describe it as vitality, Zhang Chu's bald and regrown hair is the best proof.

There is also blood qi, after a successful marrow training, Zhang Chu's increase in blood gas in his body is still a little vague, and after the second marrow training, Zhang Chu obviously noticed that the blood and gas in his body has increased by three percent!

The increase of these three percent of blood qi on Zhang Chu's strength, not to mention for the time being, with this thirty percent of blood qi, Zhang Chu can already support each round of marrow training, and at the same time quench six bones, and there is still a little spare strength.

Jiaogu Dan, when training the marrow for the second time, can accelerate five bones.

If you practice the marrow three times, you can only speed up three pieces.

In other words, Zhang Chu now has to swallow two Jiaogu Dan every day in order to ensure the progress of refining the marrow of six bones in one day.

"There are only two left!"

Zhang Chu stared at the two Jiaogu Pills in his palm, thinking in his heart, he had to get another batch of Jiaogu Pills to speed up his cultivation of the marrow.

In fact, he didn't stay in Bapin for long.

He was promoted to the eighth grade on the ninth day of February last year, and recently on the eighth day of the fifth month, it has only been 15 months since he was full.

Waiting for an idle eight-rank martial artist, it will take several years to practice the marrow once!

There are even a large number of eight-rank martial artists, who can't complete the practice of the marrow once in their lives, and can only die of old age!

Zhang Chuneng has gone from entering the eighth rank for the first time in fifteen months, steadily practicing to the advanced stage of three exercises, this achievement, even if it is placed among the pride of heaven at Huo Hongye's level, it is definitely a miracle!

It's just that in these thirteen months, he has experienced too much, too much powerlessness.

Moreover, the situation is still turbulent, the Northern Barbarians are still entrenched in the four northern counties, and they are unwilling to return to the grassland, he is already a little flustered, and wants to advance to a higher grade as soon as possible and sit in Goutou Mountain.

But with so many plug-ins in his hands to accelerate the cultivation of the marrow, it is a pity not to continue to impact the higher layers of the training of the marrow......

"The Zhenbei Army will definitely not be able to go back, I'd rather give up and continue to train the marrow than never return to the Zhenbei Army!"

Zhang Chu stood by the window, frowning slightly at the fiery red sunrise in the eastern sky, and said to himself with a firm heart.

"The main material of Jiao Gu Dan is the skeleton of the Jiao python. ”

"But Ji Ba said that when several generals of the Qi Sea level killed that kind of big snake, they all grinded it all night before grinding the big python to death, and a weak chicken like me went to the next three grades, and it is estimated that it will be equivalent to a takeaway delivered to the mouth of the big snake. ”

"Therefore, on the body of the big snake, I can't think of a way, and if I can't get the great man of the sea of qi, I must not die. ”

Zhang Chu's brows gradually furrowed.

"Did you send someone to Jiba and ask him to help figure out a way?"

"With Ji Ba's temperament, as long as I send someone to find him, he will definitely help. ”

"But Jiaogu Dan is also a controlled product within the Zhenbei Army, in addition to the exchange of military merits, each of the eight products is only rationed two per month, this kind of good thing, the gap within the Zhenbei Army should be very large, even if Ji Ba can get it, the number will not be too much, it is just a drop in the bucket for me, not cost-effective......"

Just when Zhang Chu was thinking about it, a pair of smooth jade arms returned to his neck from behind him, Xia Tao's hazy voice sounded in his ears, and the thin wind blew his ears itching: "It's so early, master, let's sleep with the concubine again, the concubine hasn't woken up yet......"

Zhang Chu's furrowed brows loosened, and he raised his hand and gently rubbed Xia Tao's forehead.

Xia Tao turned her head stupidly and rubbed Zhang Chu's palm.

Time is getting gentle......

Zhang Chu realized this beauty in his heart, and the fear of difficulty that had just raised his head in his heart was slowly suppressed by him.

Don't rush, take your time.

There are always more ways than difficulties......
