Chapter 495 Crisis
The howling north wind is mixed with a hint of coolness. Although it is still September, Yunhai City in the deep north has already ushered in the prelude to winter!
A long caravan was walking hard against the strong wind, but there was no expression of impatience on everyone's face. Instead, they all showed excited eyes!
"Young men, please work harder. After these supplies are delivered to Yunhai City, you can have a good rest. Then you can earn enough money to buy a house in the new city!" A fat man said with a sly look in his eyes.
The middle-aged man shouted loudly!
"Boss, can we really stay in the new city?" A man holding a horse shouted loudly!
The fat businessman stared and said loudly: "Others dare not say it, but as long as they follow my Qian Laosan, I have a way to make them stay!"
The fat businessman's words were quickly drowned in the howling north wind, but everyone still got a glimmer of hope from the confident eyes of the fat businessman!
At this time, Yunhai City was also bustling with excitement. Although the weather was getting colder, the enthusiasm of everyone did not diminish at all!
Especially the aborigines of Yunhai City, they travel between the new city and Yunhai City every day, and they have also contributed a lot to the construction of the new city!
The construction of the new city requires a lot of labor, so this also provides job opportunities for some people, and this is also a condition, that is, those who contribute to the construction of the new city have priority to enter the new city!
So many people are rushing to come here to work as laborers, and it has attracted many people from other cities!
At this time, Dongfang Yan in the General's Mansion was checking the money spent on building a new city in recent months. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh, "Building a new city is really expensive!"
At this time, General Zhao, who was sitting next to Dongfang Yan, said lightly: "Can we not spend money? Now we have just finished the foundation of the new city wall, and then it is time to actually spend money!"
Dongfang Yan just smiled and shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, there is enough food in our city now, and there are dozens of spare granaries that are full, which is enough to maintain these workers and provide them with supplies. As for the stones needed for construction, we can
Mining in Yulong Mountain in the south will only require more people!"
General Zhao nodded and said, "As long as you know these things well!"
At this moment, a soldier quickly ran in and said: "To inform the city lord, the materials we ordered have arrived outside the city. General Li asked me to ask where these materials are placed."
Dongfang Yan said calmly at this time, "Send it directly to the new city, but you must take protective measures!"
In fact, these materials are all some wood and some ironware. Although Yunhai City also has these things, they are still too few for building a new city, so they can only buy them from outside.
Fortunately, there are many merchants in Yunhai City. As soon as the news about purchasing these things was released, those merchants immediately took action, collecting materials from various places, and then continued to transport them towards Yunhai City!
Of course, these people couldn't afford to go early because they had no profit. The price of those materials more than doubled after they were transported to Yunhai City!
But they don't care about Dongfang Yan at all, because they got the treasure of the monster at the foot of Cangming Mountain back then, and the treasure house in the Crystal Palace that Dugu Zhan brought back from Beihai was also full of rare treasures, so the treasures in their hands were
There are so many rare treasures, if you just take some and sell them, you can get a lot of money!
Moreover, the food consumed by these tens of thousands of workers every day is their own, so they don’t have to spend money to buy it, which saves them a lot of money!
The construction of the new city is in full swing, but Dugu Zhan is very leisurely at this time. Every day he is either sitting in the yard basking in the sun, or entering the Map of the Origin of the World to chat with the Tiger God and others!
This left Dongfang Yan, who had been busy all day, speechless. Sometimes he really wanted to give up his job and live a leisurely life like Dugu Zhan every day!
It's just that now he is the backbone of hundreds of thousands of people, and everyone is looking at him, so he can only keep running around among various trivial matters!
"City Lord, something seems to have happened over there in the new city. I need you to go over and take a look!" At this time, a soldier suddenly came in and said!
"What happened?" Dongfang Yan stood up immediately and asked.
"I don't know, the person who sent the message just said something happened and asked you to come over, but didn't say what the matter was!" said the soldier!
Dongfang Yan frowned for a moment, but he still walked quickly towards the outside of the general's mansion. But at this time, the soldier did not follow him. Instead, he stood up with confused eyes and walked towards the general's mansion!
Dongfang Yan quickly left the city with his guards, and then headed towards the new city!
Hesitation New City is only five hundred feet away from Yunhai City, so Dongfang Yan quickly arrived at New City!
Although the new city is still a wasteland of grassland at this time, the surrounding city walls have begun to be constructed, but now they are only less than a foot high!
At this time, an official who was supervising the work saw Dongfang Yan coming and couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "City Lord, are you here too?"
Dongfang Yan couldn't help but was stunned when he heard what the supervisor said, and then asked: "Didn't you say something happened here and asked me to come over?"
The supervisor also looked at Dongfang Yan with doubts at this time and said: "The villain has been staying here all this time, nothing happened, and I never sent anyone to ask you to come over!"
Just when Dongfang Yan was staring at the supervisor in confusion, a sharp sword energy suddenly appeared from behind him!
Dongfang Yan also felt a tingling sensation on his back at this time. He instinctively jumped into the air, but he still could not avoid the sword energy behind him. A deep scar suddenly appeared on his back!
Dongfang Yan couldn't help but let out a roar at this time, and his body shook for a while. The sword energy was still destroying the meridians in his body after entering his body!
This made Dongfang Yan startled. He immediately used the divine power in his body to resolve the sword energy, but the strange thing was that the sword energy seemed to be alive and was running around in his body, unable to capture its trajectory at all!
"Hey, there's no need to struggle, you can't understand the sword energy in your body!" At this time, a figure walked out from the group of workers, with a devilish smile on his face!
At the same time, a figure also walked out from the other side, but this person seemed to be standing in the darkness, and his face could not be seen clearly!
"Who are you, how dare you attack our city lord!" The supervisor angrily yelled at this time.
Dongfang Yan was also frowning at this moment. He carefully explored the auras of the two people and found that the cultivation levels of these two people were actually higher than his, which made him feel surprised!
"Hmph, you ignorant reptile dares to speak loudly to us, die!" The man in the darkness said coldly, and suddenly a ball of black energy appeared in his hand and hit the supervisor quickly!
At this time, Dongfang Yan forcibly gathered his true energy and slammed out a palm to block the black energy, and then fiercely grabbed the supervisor.
In an instant, the supervisor was thrown several hundred feet away, and then landed firmly on the ground!
The man in the shadow couldn't help but sneered after seeing Dongfang Yan's actions: "You'd better look after yourself first!"
At this time, the sword energy in Dongfang Yan's body kept wandering inside his body, destroying his meridians, and even kept attacking the runes in his body!
The workers also fled quickly at this time, but some people still stayed. These are the aborigines of Yunhai City!
These people quickly gathered behind Dongfang Yan, their eyes full of anger!
"Protect the city lord!" Those people shouted loudly, waving their weapons!
At this time, Dongfang Yan raised his hand to stop everyone's impulse to rush over, "You guys, hurry up, I can handle these two people by myself!"
Dongfang Yan knew that these two people were probably coming specifically for him, so he didn't want to harm the people behind him, and he also didn't want these people to die in vain, so he had no choice but to let them leave first!
"You are so shameless. You actually made a surprise attack. This is not in line with your status!" Dongfang Yan said, trying to delay as much time as possible!
"Hey, no need to play tricks! I know you are stalling for time, but this area has been sealed by us. The masters in Yunhai City will not know what is happening here, and the people inside can't get out!"
At this time the first person who appeared said!
There was no panic on Dongfang Yan's face at this time, but he said calmly: "Really? But just because you two may not be my opponent!"
"Haha, it's been a long time since anyone said this to us two years ago. I remember the last time I heard this was when I killed that old bastard Gongsun Yan!" The man laughed arrogantly!
When Dongfang Yan heard the name Gongsun Yan, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and then a legend flashed through his heart!
Gongsun Yan was a god-level master two hundred years ago. Legend has it that at that time he had entered the quasi-emperor realm and was only one step away from entering the realm of the great emperor!
But then he was suddenly killed, which caused a huge sensation at the time!
It's just that we don't know who killed Gongsun Yan, as if the murderer appeared and disappeared out of thin air!
"Who are you?" Dongfang Yan asked with sharp eyes!
"Haha, it's okay to tell you, my name is Xuanyang, and his name is Xuanyin!" The man said with a joking expression!
Dongfang Yan couldn't help but shook his head at this time, and then said lightly: "Never heard of it!"
"Hehe, of course you have never heard of our names, because everyone who has heard our names is already dead!" Xuanyang sneered!
"Why are you talking so much? Just kill him!" Xuanyin said coldly, standing in the shadows.
