"Rustling ......"

The sky was gloomy, and the cold wind was sandwiched with the silky autumn rain.

However, Xicheng was crowded with people, the atmosphere was noisy and hot, and all of them were huddled together and stretched their necks to look at Ye Xi, without the slightest intention of retreating.

There were even many children riding on the necks of adults, holding the heads of adults and looking at Ye Xi, the city lord, excitedly, not caring at all that they were drenched.

In the midst of this kind of attention, Chief Tushan began to explain to Ye Xi what had happened in Xicheng in the past year.

The more Ye Xi listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he said in surprise: "So, this year, a total of thirteen tribes in Xicheng have joined, and there are more than 70,000 more people?"

There were many people from the outer city, but Ye Xi originally estimated that there were only about 40,000 people, but now Chief Tushan said that there were 70,000, so it was estimated that the rest of the people should go hunting.

He didn't expect that Xicheng would be able to attract so many small and medium-sized tribes in such a short period of time, and now the people of the Jushan Clan have not yet come, and when they come, plus the original population of Xicheng, the total population will be more than 100,000.

This is not counting newborns, the number of newborns has increased sharply in the past two years, and if they are counted, the population of Xicheng is estimated to reach more than 200,000.

In this wild land, such a human settlement of 200,000 people is already quite large and prosperous.

You must know that the super tribe has a population of four or five hundred thousand!

Chief Tushan was also overjoyed when he thought of the momentum of Xicheng's development in the past year, and said with a smile: "Yes, Xicheng has newly joined thirteen tribes, fortunately, Lord Xiwu planned the outer city in advance, otherwise there will definitely be not enough to live in the city!"

Ye Xi's eyes turned to the direction of the city, and Yu Guang inadvertently saw the Lotus Chief, Chief Beng, and others in the team, and couldn't help asking, "Do the Lotus Tribe, the Beng Tribe, and the Lishui Tribe also live in the outer city?"

Chief Tu Shan was stunned.

He couldn't grasp the meaning of Ye Xi's question.

Although Ye Xi sent a cormorant to escort the people of the three tribes back to Xicheng safely, he did not have any explanation about their residence, so he did not know whether Ye Xi wanted the people of the three tribes to live in the inner city or the outer city.

So he hesitated before replying, "No, they live in the city." ”

Ye Xi nodded calmly and encouraged him to continue.

Chief Tu Shan exhaled quietly.

Although Ye Xi was still a warrior of the Tushan tribe a few years ago and obeyed his orders, it seems that it was a long, long time ago when I think about it now.

Sometimes when he thinks back to the barren and gray days of Xiaotu Mountain in the Black Ridge Mountains, and then looks at the magnificent Xicheng in front of him, he will feel that everything before is not a dream?

The shadow of Ye Xi, a Tushan warrior, had completely faded in his heart, and in his place was the city lord of Xicheng, the lord of Xiwu who was loyal to dozens of tribes, and the spiritual leader of everyone.

The change in status, the disparity in strength, and the fact that he hadn't seen him for more than a year, Chief Tushan unconsciously had a sense of awe for Ye Xi, Ye Xi didn't feel anything yet, but Chief Tushan had already begun to be careful when he spoke, and he didn't dare to be as casual as before.

He was a little afraid that he didn't do good deeds and didn't manage Xicheng well, so Ye Xi would choose another chief to manage Xicheng in the future.

You must know that the other chiefs have been coveting this errand for a long time.

Chief Tushan secretly sighed and replied: "The three tribes of the Lotus Tribe, the Beng Tribe, and the Lishui Tribe live by the water and are inseparable from rivers and lakes, but there are only wells in the outer city, so they can't raise lotus and mussels in the well water. ”

"So I consulted with the White Turtle Witch, who finally decided to give them a chance to enter the inner city. ”

"To seize this opportunity, the three tribes must do two things. ”

"First, you must hand over ninety percent of the valuable things you brought such as beast cores and alien plants to the city treasury. The second is that at that time, the White Turtle Great Witch calculated that a powerful mutated beast would attack Xicheng in a few days, so he handed over the task of killing the mutant beast to them, and all the flesh and blood of the mutant beast hunted were given to the people in the outer city, and they could not keep a drop of blood privately. ”

Ye Xi: "They agreed?"

Chief Tushan: "Yes, although these two conditions are very strict, the Lotus tribe can't leave the rivers and lakes, so they all agreed." ”

Then he added cautiously: "In order to kill that mutant beast, these three tribes sacrificed a lot of people, but because of this, the people from the outer city are not dissatisfied. ”

After hearing this, Ye Xi smiled at Chief Tushan, who was a little apprehensive: "You did the right thing. ”

In fact, although the three tribes of the Lotus Tribe, the Beng Tribe, and the Lishui Tribe have a small number of warriors, their strength is not bad, and they also have a good way to lay golden eggs, and the high-level people of Xicheng must be willing to let them live in the city.

The conditions in the city are good, the security is higher, the facilities are more perfect, and the proportion of prey paid by the hunting team in the inner city is not the same as that in the outer city, and the difference is a full one, and all the people in the outer city want to enter the inner city.

If they rashly let the Lotus tribe enter the inner city, then the people in the outer city will inevitably be dissatisfied, and people's hearts will be unstable.

But with these two harsh and almost cold conditions, the people outside the city couldn't say anything dissatisfied, and the flesh and blood of the mutated beasts firmly blocked their mouths.

In fact, although the Lotus tribe seems to have suffered a big loss, but in the long run, they must be sure to make a profit, looking at the current Lotus Chief Beng Chief and their red faces, you know that they are living a good life, maybe Xicheng secretly compensated them is unknown.

Now that there are people from outside the city, Ye Xi didn't ask the Lotus tribe about them again, his eyes fell on the circle of insect willow trees planted outside the city.

Since the outer city was planned, the insect willow tree wall that was originally planted outside the inner city wall has also been transplanted to the outer city.

For example, if the inner city of Xicheng is a circle with a diameter of about ten centimeters, then with the outer city, the diameter of this circle in Xicheng can reach fifty centimeters, that is, the circumference has expanded dozens of times.

The circumference has expanded so much, and the insect willow trees that were originally planted outside the inner city walls are naturally not enough.

When Ye Xi left, almost half of the branches of the insect willow tree that had grown into them had been cut off, and all the fine bones were planted in the pit next to them, covered by heavy snow, and the shadows could hardly be found.

Unexpectedly, it has only been more than a year, and the insect willow wall in the outer city is also decent.

Ye Xi felt a little magical: "I remember that the giant insects around Xicheng are almost eaten. ”

Chief Tushan: "There are indeed fewer and fewer insects at night, and now we send the stinging tribesmen every night to lure the giant insect swarm in the grassland over to feed the insect willows, otherwise the new insect willow trees will not grow tall!"

Ye Xi: "It's the grassland rainstorm season now, and the giant insects are hiding in the ground and can't come out, and the sting tribe can still lure the giant insect swarm over?"

Chief Tushan: "Yes, they have a lot of ways to deal with bugs. ”

Ye Xi smiled and nodded at the stinging witches in the crowd.

The witch bowed flatteredly.

After Ye Xi asked these questions, he finally raised his feet and slowly walked in the direction of the city gate, and Chief Tushan and the White Turtle Great Witch hurriedly followed him.

Ye Xi said as he walked: "It is not enough to have insect willow walls in the outer city, it can only prevent the insect tide and cannot stop the mutant beasts, but it is too time-consuming to build a city wall...... In this way, I want to build fifteen towers in the outer city next year. ”

"These fifteen towers are about 100 meters high, and some bronze crossbow batteries are erected on them, and then soldiers are arranged to take turns on duty, so that the safety of the people in the outer city can be guaranteed. ”

The chiefs and witches naturally sang in unison.
