Xingchen smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding scene changed rapidly, and when it stabilized, the two of them had already appeared at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The thin young man looked at the city under his feet and showed a look of horror, "How did we get up?"

A hearty voice sounded, "Of course, it's space shifting." ”

The thin young man turned to look at Xingchen, "You, no, you're a demigod? ”

Xingchen nodded, "It's not important, the important thing is that I need you to do the first thing and plan a path development plan." As he spoke, he looked at the Demon Ice Flame Mountain Range in the distance.

The thin young man's eyes flickered, and he also looked towards the Demon Ice Flame Mountain Range, but his vision was limited, and he could only see a blurry image, "This is no problem, I only need to make a field trip to complete it." What's the second thing, please?"

Xingchen waved his hand again, and the two returned to the small courtyard, he picked up the teacup, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it later." Then he took a sip, "When someone comes here, you go directly with him." As he spoke, the figure flashed in front of the thin young man, formed a palm with his right hand, directly penetrated the opponent's chest, and pinched out a finger of blood-black insects. During the whole process, there was no blood coming out of the thin young man's chest, and there was no wound at all.

Seeing that it was separated from its host, the black worm struggled desperately, intending to return to the emaciated youth's body, and its open fangs and sharp teeth even scared the emaciated young man back three or four steps. But it couldn't get out of Xingchen's control at all, and even opened its mouth to bite Xingchen's fingers in a hurry, but as a result, it broke its own teeth.

"It's small, but it's not small. Xingchen laughed, and took out a small cage and put the black bugs in it.

At this time, the thin young man came over, "This is the source eater, doesn't it look good?"

Xingchen nodded, "It's really not good, if it is parasitic on the Illusion Dao cultivator, it will be discovered at the first time." Unfortunately, almost no one will associate it with it, and naturally no one will notice the abnormality in you. As he spoke, he put away the small cage.

The thin young man was puzzled, "Could it be that it is restrained by the Illusion Dao?" I can't figure it out, the soul of the Illusion Dao cultivator is stronger than that of the cultivator of the same level. Although I have made slow progress over the years, I have advanced a lot, and my soul is much stronger than when I was younger, and I have never been able to discover it. ”

Xingchen patiently explained: "It's very simple, the source devouring worm devours the origin of the human being, the flesh and blood are taken from the host, and the soul is contaminated with the soul breath of the host, and it will become stronger with the host, and it can even be said to be your doppelganger." So even your powerful family can't find out that this thing is living on you. Okay, I've made arrangements for someone to pick you up later. Good students wait. After speaking, he walked towards the small building and disappeared into the main hall.

The thin young man looked at the entrance of the small building and secretly made up his mind.

After a while, a tall and sturdy man walked in, his eyes were more agile than the others, it was Xing, he laughed when he saw the thin young man, "Dare to ask if this is Brother Jianliang!"

The thin young man Jianliang turned around, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he stretched out his right hand and beat his chest, "I've seen the third son." ”

Xing walked over and patted the thin young man Jianliang on the shoulder, "What's polite, from today on, we are brothers, I heard Uncle Luo say that you are a builder, and we just need a talent like you." Let's go, I'm going to introduce you to the eldest brother and second sister, and let the eldest brother appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the road repair team. ”

The thin young man Jianliang nodded, "Thank you for the kindness of the third prince." The expression is respectful but not humble.

Xing immediately pulled Jianliang away, even though he noticed that Jianliang's realm was not inherent, but he had already received a reminder from Xingchen in advance that he must be courteous to this thin builder.

And after Jianliang walked out of the small courtyard, he glanced back, and thought in his heart: "It turns out that he is Lord Luo who defeated Lord Xiang, how can a demigod accept the challenge of the holy level, unless this Lord Luo doesn't want others to know his true strength for the time being, it seems that I haven't seen anything today?"

In the next ten days, under the protection of Xing, Jianliang inspected the conditions along the established route, and the two walked to the front fort and stayed there for a month.

On the way back, the two stopped and walked again, this time, every time they encountered water and mountains, Jianliang would take out different jade slips and modify them there, and finally painted them for seven days.

After returning, Jianliang locked himself in a small building for three months before finally finalizing the final plan.

In the cultivation world, the speed of construction is never slow, and it only takes half a day for a small building to be handed over to a special construction team, and if it is required to be sturdy and functional, it may take double or even three times as long.

The city of Luo Sha is 3,000 miles away from the front fort in a straight line, but in Jianliang's plan, the road is 3,300 miles long, and under his leadership, a whole construction team of thousands of people fought for three months to completely complete the road.

On the day of completion, rumors from nowhere circulated in the city of Rasha.

Basically, he is accusing: "The distance in a straight line is 3,000 miles, and the road is 3,300 miles long, isn't this an increase in the cost of changing direction? It even took three months to complete the construction, and it was replaced by a professional construction team and completed in a month." ”

For a while, the pressure was concentrated on Jianliang, and it was useless for the acting city lord to come forward to stop it.

That night, in a small courtyard in the guest room area of the City Lord's Mansion, Jianliang sat alone on the roof of the small building, looking at the starry sky.

After a while, a figure jumped on the roof of the building and handed out a pot of wine, "Brother, take a sip." ”

Jianliang took the wine jug and poured it violently, at this time he was different from the past, the whiteness on his face had disappeared, replaced by a ruddy face, sparse stubble, although the height was still less than one meter eight, but the whole person was much more energetic, "I'm a failure, you shouldn't hire me." ”

Xing took back the wine jug and smashed it directly, "." A few gossips will beat you like this. ”

Jian Liang suddenly shouted, "I've been failing, I want to succeed once, is it that difficult?"

Xing stretched out his hand and grabbed Jianliang's collar and lifted the other party up, "It's a shame that I trust you so much when you are a brother." Do you know that in order to build this road, the eldest brother even paid all his savings to fill the financial hole of the City Lord's Mansion, but he still defended you. It's so disappointing that you only think about success. ”

Jianliang couldn't help but hide his face, "I, I, I'm sorry." ”

Xing let go of Jianliang, "I'm sorry, I still have a task for you now, select three sentry stations on this road, and build one as a checkpoint first, can you do it?"

Jianliang lowered his arm, stared at Xing only, was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Of course I can, I can't live up to your trust, brother." ”

After a short and half a moment, in the hall of the small building, Jianliang solemnly planted a blue flag on the sand table, and said: "Luosha City is strong, but the front fort is weak, the first sentry station is best built two thousand miles away from Luosha City, considering that there is a Cangjiang River here, build a sentry station thirty miles away from the bank of Luosha City, and build small fortresses at both ends of the Cangjiang Bridge, and each garrison three five-person squads are on duty in turn. Of course, light and dark sentry posts need to be set up thirty miles around the sentry station, and so on, how to arrange it is your business, and I am only responsible for the design of the sentry station. ”

Xing responded directly, "This is natural. ”

As a result, a sentry station that occupies a radius of 300 meters appeared 30 miles away from Cangjiang in just seven days, and the road was officially opened and named Jianliang Road.

The water and fire city has already opened up thousands of miles of roads and connects with Jianliang Road.

Half a month after the road was opened, many merchants came and went between the two cities several times, and many of them inquired about the designer of Jianliang Road.

At this time, the people of Rakshasa City learned the true situation.

It turns out that Jianliang Road goes around the mountains and through the mountains along the way, which is relatively flat, and it is also the territory of avoiding powerful beasts, and the merchants gallop all the way, rarely attacked, even if they are attacked, they can also run to the sentry station for help, and the mount can ride far at a time before it will be tired.

After walking the Jianliang Road, to the road built by the Water and Fire City, the sense of experience instantly deteriorated, there are many boulders blocking the road on the road, you need to be careful to avoid; you have to go over the mountains and mountains, there is no way, the road is repaired, you have to go to the wilderness if you don't climb; and you are often attacked by fierce beasts on the road, which is unspeakably miserable.

Only then did people know why the length of Jianliang Road was longer than the distance in a straight line, and why it was built so slowly. At the same time, some merchants petitioned, hoping that the City Lord's Mansion would build more sentry posts to ensure safety along the way, and even hoped that the City Lord's Mansion would build the sentry post to the road built by the Water and Fire City.

The government immediately convened a meeting to discuss the matter.

Many people agreed, but Xing disagreed, and he directly stated his opinion:

First, the unauthorized construction of roads in the adjacent city has already caused the dissatisfaction of the city lord, but the city lord of the city is strong, and the city lord does not dare to say anything, if we send troops to garrison, it will be inevitable in local battles.

Second, our soldiers in Rasha City are nervous, and they are pulling out manpower.

At this moment, one person stood up and objected, "Although our Luosha City is weak, in addition to the city defense army, there are also 30,000 standing troops, why are the soldiers so tight?"

Xing knew that this person was close to Xiang Shao, so he sneered, "Your Excellency shouldn't know, right? Our city has stationed 5,000 people in the Demon Ice Flame Mountain Range, and another 1,000 people have been stationed in the newly built sentry station. Recently, we have discovered a number of ore veins around the forefront, and these are all places to be garrisoned. You also said that we are weak, and we must always prepare troops to prevent possible disputes between cities. ”

The naysayer had nothing to say.

Xing sneered and continued: "Third, the deficit of our City Lord's Mansion has expanded to 50 million top-grade spirit stones, and the gap continues to expand because of the recent construction. It can be said that we no longer have the troops and the funds to build another sentry station. Acting City Lord, please weigh it before making a decision. ”

Zheng didn't speak immediately, he felt very strange, and said: "Third brother, what are you talking nonsense, our deficit is not so much, and it is still decreasing. As for the soldiers, recruiting some city defense troops with weak combat effectiveness can also deal with it. ”

Xing couldn't help but be a little speechless, and Chuanyin persuaded: "My eldest brother, those businessmen only care about profits, they petition today, you agree, and they can order you tomorrow." Besides, this is what Uncle Luo meant, have you forgotten? ”

Zheng had no choice but to decide, "This is the end of this matter." ”

After the news of the city lord's mansion meeting came out, the merchants not only started to complain, but the complaints were complaints, and they still had to continue to do business. Some people smelled a business opportunity and began to organize caravan escorts on their own, a move that gave many people in Rakshasa a new way to earn a living.
