Chapter 162: Lushen Island Undercurrent
Lushen Island, above the training camp square.
Lu Chengbin sat leisurely on a chair, and next to him, there was a small table with teapots and cups on it. In front of him, at the south entrance of the training camp, a group of people were busy here, carrying bricks and equipment, building fortifications, and the wall was almost five or six completed.
The people who built here were basically the local troops transferred from Lushen City, and there were a lot of people, so the construction progress was naturally fast, and after the construction of the main gate in front of it was completed, only the project on the west mountain remained.
Behind Lu Chengbin, the buildings that were originally built in the mountains on the east, west and north sides are also being repaired in a hurry, but fortunately, these houses are relatively simple, and it is not very laborious to repair, but it is always a little inconvenient to be on the mountain, and many materials have to be transported with a lot of mana.
Around him, the tall buildings that were originally used for offices, as well as the public facilities to the north, the library, and the dining hall were the first to be rebuilt, after all, he still needed these places even before the disciples returned.
Overall, the renovation project is halfway through, and it is estimated that it will take another month or so to complete.
Lu Chengbin was leisurely drinking tea, and at some point, Du Yuesong came out from behind him, walked around to him and stared at him, "I said Lord Lu, you are too leisurely! The big guys are working hard to catch up with the project, and they are very busy, why are you not in a hurry at all, and you still drink tea." ”
Lu Chengbin was not in a hurry, drank all the tea in the cup, and glanced at Du Yuesong, "General Du, don't worry, this reconstruction project is progressing rapidly, it has only taken more than a month, and it has been completed more than halfway, so why should we rush forward?"
Du Yuesong and Lu Chengbin have been in contact for more than a month, and they almost know what kind of person the other party is, and their words are very different from before, "Lord Lu, now it is different from the past, the West Spirit Lands have fallen, and our clan is the time to employ people." Lu Shen is an important place for the export of talents, and if the construction is completed as soon as possible, the disciples can be recalled as soon as possible, and they can also be successful in their cultivation as soon as possible to serve the government. ”
"What General Du said is extremely true, but this is just your idea. The disciples came to Lu Shen for a long time, and they must have missed their relatives at home, taking advantage of this opportunity to let them reunite with their families more, wouldn't this be a good thing, if they hurriedly summoned the disciples back to Lu Shen again, maybe they would have a sense of dissatisfaction in their hearts. In case something happens from within because of this, two more people like Ao Ying will not be worth the loss!" Lu Chengbin smiled as he spoke, then turned around to pour the tea, and no longer looked at Du Yuesong.
He looked at Lu Chengbin's ignorance of his love, and felt that there was no need to say more, so he turned around and walked towards the north fortification. Before he had taken two steps, he ran into Wei Cai coming down from the east mountain, and he stepped forward to block Wei Cai's way, "General Wei, this construction force is the army that the general brought from Lu Shen City, can you please ask the general to order to speed up the fortifications and complete the project here as soon as possible." ”
Hearing this, Wei Cai glanced at Lu Chengbin, who was leisurely in the distance, and he had already thought of what had just happened, and he whispered back to Du Yuesong: "General Du, it's not that you don't help, before you lead the troops here, the city lord specially explained that you must obey Lord Lu's orders." And in the past month, it has been directly ordered by Lord Lu, and I am just a messenger, so I really can't help. I think we need to make more efforts in private to build this matter, and I can't point to him. ”
Du Yuesong sighed when he heard this, and nodded to Weicai, "I understand, General Wei, you have also worked hard." With that, he raised his steps and headed north.
Wei Cai watched Du Yuesong leave, and then continued to move forward to Lu Chengbin's side, "Lord Lu, the finishing work on the East Mountain has been completed, and the four mana cannons have been completed. ”
"Well, well, leave some men to guard the eastern sentry posts, and the others will all withdraw. Lu Chengbin glanced to the east, and then without waiting for Wei to reply, he asked, "What did Du Yuesong tell you just now?"
"Oh... Nothing, just something about the work here,"
Lu Chengbin snorted coldly, "Those who lose power must speak less, so much talk will only cause people to feel annoyed." Then Lu Chengbin looked at the sky, "It's almost evening, since the east side has been fully completed today, let's rest early, let the soldiers have a good rest, so that tomorrow can be more energetic." ”
"Okay, when the top of the mountain is cleaned up and everyone has come down, I will order the work to be called a day. Wei Cai thought about it again and asked again, "Since you have finished work early today, is Lord Lu going to eat in the camp or go outside?"
Lu Chengbin stared at Wei Cai twice, and smiled, "Okay, then you can bring a few lieutenants in the army, and we will go to the restaurant in Colin Town after a while, we haven't been there for several days." ”
"My subordinates understand!" Wei Cai saluted and retired, turned around and headed for Dongshan again.
In a village in the south of Kolin Town, there were not many people living here, and it was very clean on weekdays, but a month ago, many of the cultivators in the training camp temporarily moved here to live, causing this place to suddenly become lively, and people came and went every day.
Yin Xin walked out of a house, he had been busy practicing some difficult spells recently, and he hadn't been out for more than two days.
After walking out of the room, Yin Xin went straight to the outside of the village, and he didn't even glance at the disciples around him who were busy with various things.
This time Lu Shen was rebuilt, and those who had a better relationship with Yin Xin, such as Yu Feng Wei Ning, had left here, so he was always busy concentrating on cultivation on weekdays, and rarely had contact with other disciples. I don't go out much, but every time I go out for a purpose, it's definitely not to go out for a stroll or to have fun with others.
After leaving the village, Yin Xin came to Colin Town not long after he was familiar with the road. He first went to the grocery store to buy some daily necessities, and then went to a bookstore to pick up a few books that would help him study. After that, I went to a small stall on the street and bought some food from here to take home. Yin Xin is a frequent visitor here, every time he comes here to buy a two-day or three-day amount, the owner of the stall needs to prepare for a while, so he enthusiastically served him a small pot of tea, and invited him to the table and chair on the side to rest for a while.
At this time, it was already evening, and Yin Xin had just sat down and stretched, when he saw eight people coming here from the north. These people Yin Xin is no stranger, and the leader is Lu Chengbin, the new person in charge of Lushen Island, and beside him, Wei Cai said something to him as he walked, with a smile on his face.
Yin Xin smiled silently, although he said that he went out very rarely, it was not the first time he had met this road Chengbin. He hurriedly turned his gaze to the teapot in front of him, and reached out to pour the tea, but his eyes kept staring at these people, watching them slowly walk into a restaurant opposite.
It's the biggest restaurant in the town, and it's not as upscale as some of the big cities, but it's still quite stylish. I have been here for so long, but I have never been there, and among the disciples, there are inevitably some rich families or powerful people who often come here.
This road Chengbin is really nourishing, he doesn't work hard during the day, and he comes out for fun at night, Yin Xin couldn't help laughing.
After two cups of tea, the owner of the stall prepared the meals, he carefully wrapped them, and handed them to Yin Xin. Yin Xin smiled at the boss, politely greeted him and left.
Yin Xin stood at an intersection, looked in the direction of the training camp in the north, and seemed to have something in mind, so he did not return to the village to the south, but went to the camp in the north.
At night, in the training camp, Du Yuesong originally wanted to find Lu Chengbin to theorize again, but found that his room was always dark, so he had no choice but to give up. I was bored and didn't want to sleep, so I walked around the camp.
In the current camp, unlike before, the army built a camp again, and Lu Chengbin sent people to take turns to stand guard at night. Everywhere he passed, there were sergeants patrolling and guarding, and he was much safer than before. Coupled with the newly built fortifications around it, it is really reassuring.
All this was seen by Du Yuesong, and there were also other people in the eyes. The fortifications on the hill to the west had not yet been carried out, and on a hill here two men were watching the camp from afar, looking at the tall walls and strong defenses that had been built around it. Beside them, a creature that looked like a jackal but was different from it sat obediently on the ground, staring at them as if they were very docile.
"Young master, these are the words that the king asked me to send, and the king also ordered me to stay here and assist the young master in attacking Lu Shen again. Plus, there's a team coming here to join us in a few days. At this time, one of them was saying to the other, this voice was very familiar, if Du Yuesong was here, he would definitely be able to hear that this person was He Junren in an instant, "The king said that I am still a little familiar with the situation here, and I have also fought with the people here, so he let me come again." ”
Beside He Junren, the demon heart is now here, his eyes staring straight down, "General He has worked hard, this thing must be very tired running at both ends." These days here is the time of strict prevention, not to mention that the disciples here have not come back yet, we don't know when to start, you can act at will first, but you need to be careful not to let Du Yuesong those who have seen you find out. ”
"Yes, the subordinates have settled on Lushen Island and found a place to stay, just west of the training camp by the sea. He Junren replied and stopped talking.
Demon Heart turned his head to look at him, knowing what he was thinking, he smiled, "General He doesn't need to be angry, although you can't be active in our winning battlefield, but the task here is even more arduous, and there are greater challenges here." Although it is calm now, the storm is bound to come, and the wind and waves here are also very strong. ”
He Junren also smiled, "What the young master said is extremely true, I hope that the people on Lushen Island will not let me down." If they are all characters like Du Yuesong and Ren Wensheng, it is still really boring. ”
Demon Heart nodded, and spoke again, "Wolf, there are a lot of people here, if you let others see you, it is not good to cause conflict, you can find a no-man's land alone and hide for a while, and I will call you back when the time comes." ”
Demon Heart's words were said to the wolf who was sitting obediently on the ground on the side, this wolf was the one who followed Fang Wei on Yeluan Island, it was not a beast from the spirit world, but a pet adopted by Demon Heart from the demon world, named Di Wolf. When the wolf heard what the demon heart said, he got up without saying a word, turned around and ran away.
Demon Heart once again shifted his gaze to the training camp below, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to himself: "It's a pity, it's a pity, that Lu Chengbin's hard work, the training camp that took tens of thousands of people to build in two months, will sooner or later turn into a ......ruin again."
