Chapter 176: The Edge of the City
"Donglai Giant City? He Cheng dared to speak out about giants? Did Lao Jian hearsay? Did he mislead Li?"
"If you want to say that this black armored sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacr
Kong Rong spoke very well, and it was difficult to distinguish between praise and criticism. The old man could not determine whether he was helping Li Ling or criticizing Li Ling, so he hurriedly explained.
"Kong Beihai misunderstood that his old eldest grandson worked in the Donglai Army and would never be false."
"The prefect wants to build a city. The outer city wall is expected to be 100 meters, covering more than one-third of Donglai. It reaches Huangxian in the north and Mouping in the east, covering Qucheng Qixia in the east. Many villages in Donglai want to move to the outer city, but they only need approval and dispatch before they can move."
"Just! How is this a city building? If this is a city, when will it be completed? How much labor will it be killed or injured? Could this Li Ling still want to learn from the tyrannical Qin Dynasty?" At first, he was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, Kong Rong looked angry.
"You are still ignorant people who want to migrate? Do you think your life is long? Approval and dispatch? Could it be that he is afraid of arousing public anger and detains the people of Donglai in batches?"
"Don't be angry in Kong Beihai, don't be angry. Approval and dispatch, but the prefect must first reclaim wasteland and open fields. There are many mountains and rivers in Donglai, and beasts also come out. Level out suitable land and eliminate dangers before the village can be migrated." The old man hurriedly spoke.
When talking, the old man's eyes are circulating. As the saying goes, a person becomes a savage. The old man has already noticed it. Kong Rong does not seem to be a person who is dedicated to the prefect. He is afraid that he will make mistakes in his words, so he is unwilling to talk to him in detail.
"Well, so that's it? What Lao Zhan said made Sun Yi in the Donglai Army? You and others seemed to trust Li Ling quite a lot. Kong was curious. How could such a good deed would not harm the people's strength? Please help Lao Zhan solve his doubts?" Kong Rong calmed down and asked.
"Haha, I don't know much, and after all, it's hard to get out. It's easy to reach the Qixia Mountains and bypass the foot of the mountain, the western boundary of Donglai City. When the fall, the adults can see it themselves and know it in detail." The old man said, blurting out as if he was unintentional.
"When Kong Beihai is coming to Donglai, do we know? If the prefect welcomes each other, I still need to avoid it soon. Don't miss the interest of all the adults."
"It's okay, the people from Laozhanzhuan Village should be respected by the elders. Kong and Bao Duwei Dan came to visit Cai Yong. Can Laozhan know the specific location of Cai? If you know, we don't have to bother Prefect Li." Kong Rong smiled.
"..." After a moment of silence, the old man spoke again with a little helplessness in his eyes.
"I'm not sure about it. I'm going to go to the place where Master Cai lives in seclusion. My young grandson is studying with Master Cai in Qilin Pavilion. It's really hard for outsiders to find where Master Cai is now. I can guide you."
"Thank you, old stick. I didn't expect that the old stick was both civil and military, and the old stick was blessed... wait... wait... what pavilion did you say just now?" Kong Rong looked surprised and was about to praise the old man, but suddenly asked in surprise.
"?...Qilin Pavilion? Kong Beihai is this..." The old man asked in confusion.
"Qilin Pavilion? Is it the name of Li Ling's chaos? Or is it caused by Cai Yong's interest?" Kong Rong asked in disbelief.
"Uh... I don't know." The old man replied.
At this time, Kong Rong looked at the old man carefully and gradually found that the old man was strange. The old man was quite old and had a look of Donglai, which made the old man feel dry and dark skin, but he did not show any sign of weakness.
The old man was riding a ox cart, which was a green cow that dragged a wooden frame, which was extremely simple. However, the green cow was fat and strong, and accompanied Kong Rong and his team of war carriages at a constant speed. The green cow walked calmly and did not look like it at all.
And the green bull with mud ideas on his body was running, and the players on the side seemed to vaguely avoid it while riding a horse and did not dare to approach it. Kong Rong's eyes were a little solemn.
The Qilin Pavilion is too tempting for literati and poets, especially those who want to spread books and make statements.
Seeing that the old man couldn't ask, Kong Rong had to press his temper. Now, compared to Li Ling's joke, he suddenly looked forward to finding Cai Yong earlier.
The old man already had a taboo in his heart and did not want to communicate more with Kong Rong, so he deliberately avoided it. Kong Rong took into account his face and was very curious, but he couldn't let go and actively searched for the old man to talk.
There was nothing to say along the way, and the old man drove the ox cart to lead the way. Half a day later, the foothills of Qixia Mountain were close to him, and he walked around a corner of the mountain range, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
Originally, all the forests and mountains were missing. A gulf that was nearly a hundred meters wide was horizontal in front of everyone, crisscrossing north and south, without ending.
"Hiss...is this...? Are you digging a canal here? Want to open the sea road?" Facing the huge ditch in front of you, Bao Xin couldn't help but look into the distance and asked.
"Haha, this is the future Donglai City Realm. This is the foundation of the city wall built by the soldiers under the command of the prefect. There is a temporary bridge to the north. We will pass there from there, otherwise we will have to walk around for at least one day." The old man smiled, his eyes full of pride.
"Just kidding? You said you were going to dig the foundation of the city wall here? I won't talk about why he dug such a big ditch. What should I use to fill this thing?" Sun Mingyu said in amazement with the group of people.
Whether it is players or Kong Rong, they all heard that Li Ling was going to build a city, and the site selection of the new city did not allow players to enter and exit at will, but some players more or less collect information about Donglai on the periphery.
Shangguan Wan'er and her party also saw some people posting pictures of digging here on the forum. At first, some people speculated that Li Ling built the city wall. But as the ditch became wider and deeper, everyone thought that Li Ling wanted to open a canal or use it as a moat.
But when I saw this shocking trench with my own eyes, you said that I really want to build a city wall here? This is how to build a city wall?
Everyone followed the old man in a daze towards the bridge, still far from the "city wall foundation". From time to time, they could still hear dull knocking and smashing sounds from deep ditches.
The dull sound accidentally caused the vibration of the nearby land, and Shangguan Wan'er and others could not hold back. Kong Rong also called the old man to wait, and the group approached the deep ditch and watched down.
Looking around, this deep groove is probably twenty or thirty feet long, and there are a lot of fluorescent stones inside it, so the light in the groove is no worse than that in the outside world.
In the deep ditch, at every distance, there were several strong men holding giant hammers of two people in their hands, either knocking on the ground or hitting the wall of the ditch. Every time the hammer fell, it could cause a great earthquake. Looking from a distance, the group of people and others had their eyelids twitched.
"Damn, that old man said this is a soldier? I said it is a plague epidemic? Damn, look at the hammer, the ground is smashed with one hammer, who can hold it back?"
Xueyin swears violently and curses his mouth. He looks up at Bao Xin. Seeing Bao Xin's eyes twitch, he doesn't think he knows what these soldiers exist.
"My dear nobles, don't watch here. The bridge in front is more lively." The old man was accustomed to this and shouted to everyone.
"What if he doesn't matter, I see that their hammers are at least golden weapons. They are quite scattered. Here I am the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Let's go back and attack here." Aisin Gioro whispered a few more people.
"How are we fighting now? They are in the ditch, we have a geographical advantage and use long-range attacks." Liu Qingyan whispered to the few people.
"No, my subordinates said that the soldiers on Donglai have a 'wolf whistle', blowing the wolf whistle and warning thousands of miles away. Other wolf whistles within thousands of miles will react." Li Ming rubbed his fat face, and the meaning was obvious.
"Bao Xin and Kong Rong won't let us fight now. I said, "You guys can kill them now?"
"Zhang Wentao, Sun Mingyu, don't you also have black armored wands? Let's attack with all our might, the guards behind may not react." Tianlang glanced at Bao Xin behind and whispered.
"If you want to beat you, you will be resurrected if you kill them. We don't want to be chased around the world like you kill Polang."
Sun Mingyu curled his lips, everyone shook their heads, and followed the old man to continue moving forward.
