Chapter 120: Reforge (Part II)

"This place has to be renovated. ”

Arigen spreads a cloth with characters written on it on the couch table.

"On the hills on both sides, at the cliffs above the two roads that lead to the convoy, the rocks had to be re-piled. ”

He stared at the three men in silver armor standing in the hall below, and his voice revealed an unmistakable tone.

"Also, you can't just have a wall. ”

Arigen stood up and walked around the couch in front of him.

He walked along the logs stacked upwards and tied with hemp rope to the three of Naphtha, Feather, and Li Xi.

All three of them straightened their waists and looked straight ahead with their eyes.

Yougen put his hands behind his back and looked up and down at the three people side by side.

After a moment, a satisfied smile appeared on Arigen's face.

He smiled and walked around the three of them and walked behind them.

Seeing Yougen walk behind him, the three of them all showed luck and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the center of the hall, in a copper pot.

The fire clings to the dry wood and burns violently.

Arigen stood in front of the flames, his face shining with the light of fire.

He was above the flames, spreading his palms outstretched.

Feeling the scorching heat wave transmitted to the palm of his hand, Yougen's face was solemn.

"The letter sent by the general stated that Baisha County was close to a thousand miles away from the Ningchuan Pass. ”

"Before the allied forces of the counties broke through Ningchuan, the garrison closest to the pass was stationed in the eastern mountain pass, about forty miles away. ”

"There's an earthen fort they built there, and I've looked at it, and it's empty. ”

With his hands behind his back, Yougen raised his head and sighed.

"The pass stretches towards the canyon. Within a hundred miles of the arc, I searched all of them, and found no troops except for forty-six arrow towers and six villages and towns. ”

Arigen turned sideways and glanced at the three behind him.

"My whole army, are you here?"

Hearing this, the naphtha was agitated and immediately took half a step forward.

"Away from the statistics, above the pass. Our army is 11,134 men!"

"Well~. ”

There was a continuous sound in his nose, and Yougen lowered his head and muttered for a moment.

"Sixty-six people were lost. ”

"Have you ever found it?"

Hearing this, the forehead of the naphtha was immediately covered with cold sweat.

His tongue began to knot, and his voice began to stutter.

"Hey, hey, he's going to tell the chief. ”

"We waited for the army to march all the way, and when we arrived at the pass, we found that half of the soldiers were missing. ”

"Alright. ”

There is a root to turn around. Again looked at the burning fire.

"Send twenty cavalrymen, carrying enough food and grass, to search along the road. ”

Hearing this, the naphtha straightened his already upright waist. Answer loudly: "Yes!"

"Tonight, I will search the area three hundred miles away from the pass. ”

"If I still haven't found the garrison or earthen fort in Baisha County. ”

The corners of Yougen's mouth were slightly curled, and a strange color flashed between his eyes.

"That's us. At least twenty days. ”

Yougen turned around and walked quickly past the three of them.

He walked up the wooden ladder and around the couch table where the cloth was spread.

"Obey!"

Yougen stared at the thick wooden wall not far away. Diffusing the dark void, he gradually retracted the smile on his face.

The three people standing side by side looked up at the back of the root.

The three of them had solemn faces, and they all clasped their fists and replied in unison.

"Yes!"

"Ordered the soldiers to collect bark, solid wood. ”

"Rope was kneaded with bark and a ladder was made with sticks. ”

"The length of the rope should not be shorter than five meters. ”

Yougen turned around with a serious face and sat down.

He crossed his legs and pressed the soles of his wrists against his knees.

"In addition, our army also needs to collect rough wood, and cowhide and cowhide. ”

"The armies selected the most powerful men and sent them up the mountain to hew the rocks, and these soldiers were responsible for collecting the rocks. ”

With that, Arigen paused for a moment.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the cloth on the table.

He calmly looked at the words on the cloth and painted in cinnabar.

"Starting tomorrow, I give you six days. ”

"In the Grass Cloud Domain, there are still thieves. ”

"We can't wait too long in Ningchuan, we must make this place suitable for the garrison. ”

"It must also be made prosperous here, so that tens of thousands of soldiers can be stationed without relying on too many supplies from the Caoyun region. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is urgent. ”

Yougen, who looked down at the table, raised his hand and waved it forward.

"Of course, all things are tomorrow, go down and prepare. ”

Hearing this, Shi Nao, Li Xi and Peel Feather parted their fists.

Together, they turned around and walked towards the gate.

Between the pitch-black dome, there are sparse solitary stars.

There is no magnificent Milky Way, no dense sea of stars.

Therefore, every star in the sky looks so lonely, but it is extremely eye-catching.

Arigen stood on the platform, looking up at the sky.

His eyes were drenched in gold.

With his golden eyes, he carefully searched the endless night sky.

He saw nothing but a few lone stars.

The thick liquid Yuan Gang gradually faded from the rooty eyes.

Yougen lowered his head and looked straight ahead.

A gust of wind blew into the narrow valley and blew the cloak that hung on Arigen's back.

The surface of the maroon cloth is slightly folded in the wind.

"Bang!"

A golden flame emanated from its body, and the golden flame climbed onto the cloak that was blown by the wind, and the cloak stood still in the wind.

The cloak on his back fell to the ground again, and there was an expressionless face that drove the vitality in his body.

A golden flame flew into the sky.

Jin Yan rushed diagonally into the air at a height of sixty meters and stopped.

Yougen turned around and looked at the wall below.

Around the platform, the marble aisle forty meters wide and two hundred and eighty meters long was crowded with a large number of soldiers.

Bonfires burn among the crowd.

More than a dozen barracks were like a layer of yellow tulle in the reflection of the bonfire.

Next to the barracks, in the light of the fire.

Many of the soldiers were crouching around the fire, their hands crossed on their knees.

Their weapons were casually discarded on the ground beside them.

Except for the blades, all they had was a thin bamboo mat.

At the edge of the three stairs that could climb up the city wall towards the Grass Cloud Domain, thirteen hundred war horses were neighing continuously.

The cavalry stayed by their horses, and sat around the campfire, along with the infantry who could not climb the walls.

Yougen observed the lower pass and pursed his mouth.

He spun around and flew into the depths of the night sky.

In the Baisha region, east of Ningchuan Pass, 720 miles away.

The endless flow of the river flows along the river to the distance.

On the cliff, the original hole has been completely blocked by boulders.

Xu Ruo sat cross-legged on the rocks beside the river, and he kept looking at the hole in the cliff on the opposite side of the riverbank, which was blocked by boulders.

He had been here for ten days and ten nights.

And Zhang Yong, who was also sitting cross-legged in the cave, constantly refining the vitality in the dantian, had just opened his eyes.

Zhang Yongwei lowered his head and looked at the jade box in his hand.

For ten days, Zhang Yong has been holding the box, but he has never opened it.

For Zhang Yong, the jade box contained not only a spiritual pill that could improve his cultivation, but also a hope for himself to break through the realm and enter the Dao.

For him, what's in the box is actually another self. (To be continued......)
