As the people of the Gahide reported, the roads outside the city were muddy. You should know that it was not the same as raining and being flooded. The flooded places had more water and were trapped even harder. The carriage was pressed up and directly stuck to the axle, which was impossible to pass.

Weicheng is close to the seaside, with high humidity and water evaporation slow. The road cannot be restored without ten days and half a month. However, no matter Wu Zhongyuan or Weicheng, it is impossible for everyone here to spend half a month. There is no way, so they can only call the wind and rain, raise the wind and cool down, and freeze the road surface.

In fact, even if you stand on the city tower, you can still make tricks. However, Wu Zhongyuan did not choose to do it from the city tower, but hovered in the air with the blue dragon armor. This place is not far from the South China Sea. Although Ao Zhu and others retreated, they were likely to observe in secret, and they had to show their strength to make them afraid.

Weicheng is located in a corner, and the people in the city rarely see wizards doing things. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan could summon wind and rain, he was surprised and sighed, and suspected that he was a celestial being.

Normally, the road surface can be frozen in half an hour, but Wu Zhongyuan took one hour because the freezing point of the sea water is lower than fresh water, and it takes a lower temperature to freeze the sea water.

After the road was able to carry chariots and horses, everyone in Weicheng began to set off. The first carriages were loaded with wooden barrels. The barrels were tied very tightly. The outside was painted with waterproof tung oil, and the inside was filled with salt for the bear clan.

Since continuous practice is required to keep the road surface hard, Wu Zhongyuan was unable to leave first and could only stay in Weicheng for the time being.

The so-called northward migration is a fleeing for the people of Weicheng. They all have a sad face and the atmosphere is very heavy. However, after the Dragon Clan made such a fuss last night, everyone in Weicheng was eager to leave here, and there was not much reluctance.

From dawn to Weicheng's carriages and horses, they were all withdrawn until midnight. The entire team of migrating north extended for dozens of miles. Weicheng had many soldiers and generals, and at least they had no problem with resisting bandits and robbers. In addition, the team of warriors under Li Wanzi, as long as they did not encounter a tough role, the safety of the people migrating north should be guaranteed, but they were forced to work hard.

All those who should leave were gone. The huge city was deserted, and only Wu Zhongyuan, Li Wanzi and a few leaders of Weicheng were left.

As the saying goes, people are inferior to people, and no one likes to leave their hometowns. Jeanci and others are unlucky. They all know that this northward migration is a road of no return. It is not that everyone has to die outside, but that even if the world is peaceful in the future, they will not be able to come back. Weicheng relies on the sea to make a living and offend the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea. How can he have a good life when he comes back?

But in the situation last night, Jetz could only choose to stand on Wu Zhongyuan's side. Five seals were about to disappear, and there was only one way to die.

Li Wanzi had to go back to build a city for everyone in Weicheng, and could not return with the team. After pondering, Wu Zhong Yuanshen gave the third master a letter and ordered it to send Wu Mei to come and replace Li Wanzi.

Wu Mei was one of the two female warriors who took lotus seeds from the front of the armies of the Xiong tribe and the Niu tribe that day, and the other was Wu Shuang. There were two reasons why he chose Wu Mei to replace Li Wanzi. One was that Wu Mei would be the lord of Xinpiyuan City in the future. Weicheng's residence was within her city. Let her guard Jiangzi and others to go north, so that they could build relationships and facilitate work in the future.

The second reason is that Wu Mei is Ng Junyue's person. Compared with the selfless Ng Junyue, he is more willing to work with Ng Ji, and Ng Shuang is the person selected by Ng Ji. Another new Piyuan City will be handed over to Ng Shuang for the future.

Due to the large number of people in Weicheng and complete autonomy, Wu Mei, the city lord, has a much smaller value, and at best, he is an ambassador. Wu Shuang's city will become a border town for the bear clan like Daze and Daqiu.

As a king, it is far from enough to be able to fight well, and you must also know that others are well-positioned.

After making up his mind, he ordered Li Wanzi to return first, follow the team, and wait for Wu Mei's arrival.

In this way, the burden on Li Wanzi's shoulders was very heavy. Not only did she have to connect the roads with the barbarians, but she also had to expand two walled cities. She would not be considered if she had any work arrangements in the future.

When Li Wanzi controlled the armor and left, Wu Zhongyuan ordered Jeanci and others to catch up with Weicheng's migration team, leaving only Zhu Qianwei.

Zhu Qianwei was a red spiritual energy. He needed to take a lilac seventh-level lotus seed to become Taixuan. He gave one to Wu Di before, but now he still has one left.

Wu Zhongyuan took out the lotus pod from his arms, took off the seventh-level lotus seed and handed it to Zhu Qianwei, "Pinch it and take it."

Zhu Qianwei reached out to take it, pinched the shell, took the lotus seeds, and asked, "Sir, what is this?"

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer Zhu Qianwei's question, because after asking this question, Zhu Qianwei suddenly frowned, which means that the lotus seeds have taken effect.

It was not without reason that he admired Zhu Qianwei. Zhu Qianwei asked the question that he swallowed the lotus seeds first, which shows that Zhu Qianwei had absolutely trusted him.

"What kind of virtue can the last general be? I am ashamed of being favored by God." Zhu Qianwei knelt on one knee, moved and panicked. He did not ask what Wu Zhongyuan gave him again, because he already knew what Wu Zhongyuan gave him.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Zhu Qianwei and reached out to help him up. Loyalty has been the noblest character since ancient times. Everyone thought they had this character, but in fact most people did not. When he first met Zhu Qianwei that day, Zhu Qianwei was fleeing with his young master who was still in his infancy. Without any reward, Zhu Qianwei's only motivation for doing this was loyalty from the bottom of his heart.

"Sir." Zhu Qianwei tried hard to restrain his inner excitement, but he still trembled uncontrollably. There was a saying that he could reach the sky in one step. Now he was, from the red energy Gao Xuan to the deep purple Taixuan, and advanced to seven levels in a row, and instantly entered the ranks of top masters.

"You should know that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility," Wu Zhongyuan patted Zhu Qianwei on the shoulder. "Our opponent is stronger than you think. I don't know how many years this war will last, and I don't know if we can survive. If one day you die in battle, don't blame me."

Zhu Qianwei took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and said seriously, "If you have never met an adult by chance, you will only live in a corner and be mediocre in your life. Thanks to the adults' value and promotion, you can display your ambitions and show your talents. Even if you die in the battlefield in the future, you will be passionate and heroic, and you will have no regrets in this life."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "There are Zuofu Hall and Youbi Palace, and each commands warriors and wizards. However, it is not enough to have warriors and wizards alone. They also need brave soldiers and powerful troops. However, the soldiers of each major city are under the jurisdiction of the city lord, and it is not convenient to change. They can only retreat to the second best. I have twenty cities in the city. You can draw 100 people in each city and form a royal army for emergency assistance. Before the festival, you can go to Youxiong to meet me. After the festival, you will immediately implement this matter. The soldiers are selected, the army is led by you, and the organization is formulated by you. It is directly under me, and it is not controlled by the Zuofu Hall and Youbi Palace."

"Get orders." Zhu Qianwei answered the order loudly.

Although Wu Zhongyuan completely delegated power, Zhu Qianwei still had to consult with him, including various details such as the establishment of troops, the allocation of personnel, and the scope of authority.

After discussion, the two decided that the two thousand personal soldiers were all cavalry, because only cavalry could rush to support quickly. In order to distinguish between wizards and warriors, and at the same time, the two thousand people were all yellow cloaks, divided into five hundred heavy armor, five hundred light armor, five hundred bows and arrows, and five hundred muskets.

The so-called musket is actually earth and guns. This thing is very simple to make. In modern times, many rural hunters can do it themselves. Their power is naturally not comparable to standard guns and guns, but their lethality is still much stronger than ordinary bows and arrows.

Zhu Qianwei didn't know what a musket was, because there was no such thing at this time, so Wu Zhongyuan gave a brief explanation to him, and then lowered his voice and secretly gave him the opportunity.

After hearing Wu Zhongyuan, Zhu Qianwei nodded slowly, "Don't worry, I will do this when I select soldiers in the future."

As long as he is a human being, he has selfish intentions, and Wu Zhongyuan is no exception. There are two reasons for him to form his personal soldiers. One is that he has an army that truly belongs to him. At this time, it is somewhat similar to the situation in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The military power is scattered in the hands of the princes. Although the major city lords had to obey his orders, they still could not respond quickly at critical moments, such as using their fingers to use their arms.

The second reason is that he wants to tailor a suitable identity for Wang Xinran. Before that, he wanted Wang Xinran to work in another place, but the more he thought about it, the less at ease he felt. If he didn't help Wang Xinran improve his cultivation, Wang Xinran's safety outside would be unable to be guaranteed. If he improves his cultivation, her identity would be easily exposed.

If you think about it carefully, it is safer to form a personal soldier controlled by you. These people were all drawn from the various cities of Dayuan and did not know each other. Most of these people do not have spiritual cultivation and will not become the enemy's primary target of attack. The most important thing is to keep Wang Xinran by his side, which can also ensure her safety to the greatest extent.

What he had previously secretly told Zhu Qianwei was to ask him to go to Heling to pick Wang Xinran away. As for who Wang Xinran was and what Wang Xinran had to do with him, he did not mention that Zhu Qianwei was a smart person, and he should be able to guess.

The convoy moved slowly, and the two of them were not in a hurry to chase. Then they sat on the city tower and talked about gossip. In fact, it was not gossip, but some scattered things.

In addition to 30,000 jin of salt, Weicheng also prepared 30,000 jin of copper and iron and 30,000 jin of rice and grain as a gift for Wu Zhongyuan. According to his and Wu Di's previous estimates, if the fox tribe could support 50,000 jin of rice and grain, and there was still a shortage of 90,000 jin, another 30,000 would be less than 60,000.

However, this number is based on the fact that the elderly and children do not count. If they do not starve to death this winter, they must also find more rice and food.

The richest person in the Southern Wilderness is Weicheng, but Weicheng has many people and can't squeeze out much rice and grain. Apart from Weicheng, there are only the fox tribes who live better. Apart from these two landlords, there are really no tribes in the Southern Wilderness that can have extra rice and grain.

At dawn, Wu Mei came, Wu Zhongyuan introduced both sides and then left the convoy to go to the fox clan.
