Panlong City.

He Lingchuan walked outside the house and counted the goldfish in the tank first. No. 1 to No. 9, alive.

But two of the flowers seem to have changed, and I don't know if it was the fish and insects fed by Sun Poria that caused them to be more colorful, or ......

The weeping jasmine that was originally placed above the fish tank had withered like snow-like flowers, so it was ruthlessly removed, and a pot of osmanthus took its place.

The residents of Panlong City like to plant osmanthus trees, but He Lingchuan's yard is too small, and I don't know where Sun Fuzi got such a small pot, and the flowers bloom just right.

At this time, Panlong City has faded from the summer heat and the autumn wind is blowing, which is a good season to enjoy the laurels.

The fragrance of osmanthus flowers overflowed from the courtyard to the house.

There was a wind chime next door, and He Lingchuan leaned on the wall to see that Sun Lingling's door was closed and the owner was not at home.

He looked up at the clear blue sky, at this hour, the master should be in class?

On the other side, there was the sound of footsteps, the noise of moving heavy objects, and the complaints of children.

He Lingchuan opened the courtyard door and walked out, just in time to see a mule cart starting slowly, and the neighbor's male owner was sitting in the car, waving goodbye to his family.

"Don't worry, at most half a year, at least three months, and I'll be back!" The hostess grabbed the little fat and watched her husband go away.

He Lingchuan didn't bother the people to say goodbye, until the mule cart disappeared into the corner of the street, and then he stepped forward and asked, "Why does even he have to travel far away?" The neighbor works for the Panlong City Government Office, according to He Lingchuan's understanding, he is an official ape, his life is relatively stable, and he doesn't have to travel long distances, why does it take three or five months to leave this time?

The female neighbor sighed, "He also has to help rebuild Yuheng City."

The son Chubby didn't understand: "Dad is not a mason, he is not a carpenter, he can't build a house, why should he go?"

The mother and son are very talkative.

The female neighbor stroked his head and said, "Your father has to help people manage their expenses and settle accounts, otherwise who will pay the masons and carpenters to work?"

The last time Panlong City sent troops, it directly destroyed Xiqi. Although the monarch of Xiluo ordered that the soldiers and civilians of Panlong were forbidden to return to the east, it was impossible for Panlong City to swallow the territory that it was difficult to spit out.

Therefore, the original land of Xiqi was also inherited by Panlong City. Yuheng City is the border city in the east of the original Xiqi, and it is only separated by a river from the Jinhan Kingdom.

Jin Han is close to Baling Kingdom and Beijia, and his relationship with Panlong City is also very bad.

As a border city, the original defense facilities of Yuheng City are old, and even the river embankment is in disrepair. After Panlong City destroyed Xiqi, if it was necessary to consolidate the border defense, it was necessary to repair Yuheng City.

Of course, there are many Xiluo people on the original Xiqi territory, and there is no shortage of skilled craftsmen, and He Lingchuan, a neighbor, went to do some municipal service work.

In fact, this incident is just a microcosm, and the entire Xiqi area is under construction.

In addition to relying on the original city facilities, such as Longyu Pass, Yuheng City and other checkpoints and border cities, Panlong City also needs to build several cargo transfer and garrison places in the Xiqi area.

The plains of Xiqi are also very fertile and suitable for growing crops. In this way, in addition to the Chipa Plateau, Panlong City has a new high-quality grain production area.

Because it is too far away from the Chipa Plateau and too close to Jinhan Kingdom, the safety of Xiqi is a big problem. It must be defended after the defeat, and it is impossible for Panlong City to send troops there every day.

However, the new trade routes brought by Xiqi are particularly important, so Panlong City has been sending all kinds of talents there in the past two months to help the Xiluo people in the Xirui realm become masters as soon as possible.

He Lingchuan entered the Soul Land several times before, and found that many comrades-in-arms were ordered to send or reinforce Xiqi, and Commander Xiao was even sent as an instructor, and it was said that he would train 50,000 recruits.

It is said that Zhong Shengguang is also considering the candidates for the generals sent to Yuheng City, and he will garrison, train the troops, and grasp the tuntian.

It's autumn now, and after the autumn harvest is a good time to train troops.

He Lingchuan thought that he would also be sent to Xiqian, but the Broken Knife Team did not receive such an order for the time being.

As for the old royal city of Xiqi, there is now one

A large group of civilian officials are trying to get the post-war Xiqi back on track.

Although Panlong City was rarely as peaceful as Blackwater City that He Lingchuan was accustomed to, the changes brought about by the merger of Xiqi were beyond everyone's expectations.

There are many people leaving Panlong City every day, and many new faces are flowing every day

Enter. The war machine is in motion again, but it is not busy for war.

Or rather, not for the time being.

Novelties quickly distract residents and dilute the frustration of not being able to return.

This time, the renovation of Xiqi also aroused the enthusiasm of the civilians, and the number of volunteers to support them increased day by day.

This kind of scene may continue for a long time.

Now He Lingchuan stuffed a few kraft candy for Xiaopang, and chatted a few words, and not far away, a herald came on horseback and said to him:

"General Hong's order, He Lingchuan is on duty at three o'clock in the afternoon."

He Lingchuan received the order and headed to the south of the city. Ever since he killed Jindu Cub and rescued Wen Daolun in Panlong City, Zhong Shengguang and General Hong's trust in him has increased day by day. In the Battle of Xiqi Kingdom, he led the Broken Knife Squad to successfully complete the task in Longyu Pass, and performed well in the Battle of Xiqi Wangcheng and the Battle of the Xianba Alliance, and made many military exploits, and the distance between him and the high-level of Panlong City is getting closer and closer.

The activities he participated in became more and more secure, and Zhong Shengguang and General Hong's words did not shy away from him.

Going to the Gange Hall like this is a special honor for the Gale soldiers. Only the most trusted warriors are qualified to defend the secrets of war in Panlong City.

He had plenty of time, and he still had time to go to the South Gate Square for a turn.

The Guluo tree by the river did not change much, and the strange head Nightmare, entangled in branches, complained when he saw him:

"When will you let me go! I have completed all the tasks you have assigned."

"You're a weak chicken now." He Lingchuan smiled, "Wandering around, it's easy to be eaten by other nightmares."

"I need a dreamland, or I'll be weak to death!" The Soul Country is not a place where it should stay for long, let alone here...... What the hell is here!

"I'll help you find it when I have time." He Lingchuan appeased it. This nightmare had already seen the interior of Panlong City, and it was considered half an insider, and it was impossible for He Lingchuan to release it.

Dafang Pot and Panlong City are his biggest secrets, and once they are leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The nightmare and sad roar, he turned a deaf ear, and soon passed by Wang Lin Street. After passing through Yunling Island, he found that there were more guests coming in and out, not to mention shoulder to shoulder, at least they were like guests. Even though it was a slightly cool autumn, the white fat man was still so busy that his forehead was shining, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or oil.

The store hired two more guys, and there were a lot of fresh goods on display.

The goods displayed in a conspicuous position in the store by a female cadre like Bai Shan are either very expensive, rare in quantity, powerful in function, or very trendy.

He Lingchuan saw a snail shell in the whole row of goods at a glance, oily yellow, larger than the palm of his hand, the texture on the surface was actually like tiger stripes, and the screw mouth had fine serrations.

Although he was mixed in the crowd, the white gnat's sharp eyes still recognized the landlord, and trotted all the way over:

"You're here!"

This guy has a set of hospitality and deserves to make money. He Lingchuan said with a smile: "Boss Bai is rich, and his business is booming. You see, shouldn't this shop be rented......

Hearing that the unscrupulous landlord wanted to increase the rent, Bai Jia vomited bitterness: "Hey, you don't know, there are a lot of new things recently, but the cost is also high, and the competition is still fierce......

He Lingchuan squinted at him: "If I hadn't told you the news in advance, would you dare to take down the store at the west corner of Wanglin Street?"

When rumors of returning to China were flying, he told the white fat man that the soldiers and civilians of Panlong would definitely not move east. At that time, people's hearts were fluctuating, and there were people on Wanglin Street who transferred their shops out, and the white fat man listened to his "inside information" not only dispelled the idea of quitting the rent, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, but also took the store down.

This is called bracing

The faint of heart is starved to death.

Now it's okay, the Panlong army and the people are not leaving, the other party regrets dying, and can only sit and watch the white fat man make money every day.

Bai Jia hurriedly took out a box, and inside were five ghost shadow cicadas: "Brother He, no, Master He is amazing, a small gift is not a tribute."

He Lingchuan was also not polite, grabbed it and put it in his arms, and said strangely: "Usually let you buy a few cicadas, and it is difficult to talk about it. Why are you so happy today?"

Bai Shan wiped his sweat: "In the past, this was a rare thing, with a price but no market, and it may not be possible to get it if you want to." "Now?"

"Didn't we defeat Xiqi?" Bai Grasshopper's mouth grinned to the back of his ear, "Kick out this roadblock, and the trade route to the south will be unblocked, and it can even open up to the seaport of Song Kingdom!" The goods from outside can come in, and the variety is complete."

He Lingchuan understood.

Panlong City has always been an enclave, and its development has been hindered on all sides. Laying down Xiqi will also open up the trade route to the south, which is very beneficial to Panlong City's external communication.

Bai Grasshopper is right, the trade route extends outward, and it can even reach the seaside!

He Lingchuan even suspected that this was the real purpose of Zhong Shengguang and others to win Xiqi one by one, to strive for external communication and get rid of the enclave dilemma.

If he guessed correctly, Panlong City would spend more effort to consolidate and operate Xiqi in the future.

For Panlong City, this is a new opportunity.

"In other words, you can sell me cheaper in the future?" "Uh...... "The landlord's heart is so dark!" Yes, yes! Again, hit 9% off! Stingy, He Lingchuan shook his head and pointed at the conch: "What's that?"

"Oh, it's a conch." Bai Shan smiled, "If it is used as a marching horn, the sound can be transmitted ten miles away, and basically the entire battlefield can be heard; It can also remember different sounds, and it can blow them directly next time, such as birdsong, tiger roar, etc....... Would you like one? It's easy to use on missions."

"Don't." He Lingchuan saw the price tag.
