Under the gray sky, the people waving their hoes were sweating profusely. The palm-shaped flying robots were carrying the baskets, and Wei Zhou took people to pick them up.

The robot's sharp black claws were loosened, and the transparent wings on its back were flapping only after seeing the afterimage.

"It's time to go." The foreman shouted.

The people stopped doing their work, wiped their sweat, put down their hoes, gathered in the open space and sat casually.

The robot completes the task and flies further and further.

The people chat while taking out food from the basket. It is very interesting to take a break from their busy schedule.

"When I first saw that thing, I was shocked. I thought it was a demon."

"Who said it wasn't? The big black palms had a pair of wings, and it looked so terrible."

"Chicken buns. I'm so tired of working, I finally saw some meat. How can one person and two be enough to eat?"

"Satisfied. Now we can eat hot foods. Think about it before. Not to mention hot foods, we don't have anything to eat."

"Who said no. We are about to dig the boundary of the city, right? Can we connect the rivers?"

"I asked the foreman and said it would take a few more days. Don't think that you can rest after digging the river, and you also need to build a stone bridge."

"We have specialized technical work, and we are only responsible for the hard work. We blame ourselves for being unsatisfied. Look at how comfortable Tie Niu lives. We go to the yamen every day to sit and examine the case. Don't mention how comfortable it is. Alas, is his wife pregnant?"

"I heard that I was pregnant some time ago. How great is it. My wife and children are covered in bed. Who doesn't want a woman?"

"Quiet, all are quiet. The superiors came to inspect." The foreman came over and shouted in a hurry, reminding them not to talk nonsense.

A group of people came from afar, and the woman at the forefront was so beautiful. No one here dared to look up, but the city lord actually came in person?

Zhu Qinghong looked at the excavation of the river: "After the river is connected, we are preparing to build a stone bridge. How to transport the materials?"

"It's very smooth. You can arrive in two days." Su Rui took out the drawings of the stone bridge, "This place is close to the pavilion where storage is stored, and a bridge is built. The surrounding construction is based on the original plan, and the people from tea stalls, inns and restaurants are screening."

This place is half a day away from the city.

It is more convenient for businessmen to communicate well, and there is still something to grow after someone is there.

There is more arable land around Tianchong City, so just arrange a group of houses to take care of. The arable land in the city is gathered together, and there is a lot of room for construction in the rest of the places.

Zhu Qinghong walked to the pavilion where the storage was placed. The surroundings were bare and looked very desolate.

"Ono, in this kind of bamboo forest." She smiled and seemed to be able to see the rustling of bamboo leaves.

The Four Corner Pavilion is looming in the lush bamboo forest, as beautiful as a painting.

[Okay, owner. Determine the planting area, category...]

"City Lord, you don't need to stare at me in person." Wei Wan smiled and asked, "It's better to go back to the city first. The mansion has prepared wine and food."

Zhu Qinghong nodded and set off for the city. The moment she turned around, a ball flew out and fell to the edge of the pavilion.

The people who saw it were curious and looked at it, what?

The ball suddenly cracked and grew more than one meter high, stretching out its limbs to dig the soil.

The beetle-shaped machine digging very fast, and a large area was dug out behind the pavilion.

Then it spit out bundles of bamboo seedlings. It was obviously sharp legs, but it carefully fiddled with it to plant it. It covered the soil and watered it in one go. After planting, it looked green.

The people were still holding half of the buns in their hands, and the people were swallowing. Take a bite and try to suppress their shock. Don't think too much.

After completing the task, the machine retracted into a ball and ejected into a mid-air and disappeared. Everyone was speechless. With this thing, they would not be unemployed, right?

No! No! No!

Everyone finished their food quickly, picked up their hoes and digged hard. No one could steal their work!

The city of the city, the city lord's mansion.

The soldiers presented new weapons, arrows, swords, swords, etc.

Zhu Qinghong picked up the craftsmen to observe one by one. The craftsmen's craftsmanship became more and more sophisticated, and the output was also considerable.

"City Lord, how about it?" Wei Bojun looked proud, "This batch of weapons is completed and I will send them to you immediately."

"It's very good." Zhu Qinghong smiled with relief, "I'm very relieved to leave the weapon production to you."

Compared with Tianchong City and Lingxiguo, the military power of the city is the strongest. It is not only reflected in weapons, but also the strength and cooperation ability of the soldiers themselves are also second to none.

If you know people and make good use of them, she will not let outstanding soldiers bury them. Strengthening training will be of great use in the future.

"There are some of your commanders below that are not bad." Zhu Qinghong sat back on the main seat and smiled, "It's just right to call for a meal."

"Yes." Wei Bojun immediately sent an order. There were four commanders in the city, stationed at the four gates.

"I will join the city lord." The commanders knelt on one knee to salute. Their surnames were Wen, Wu, Luo, and Wu.

When he first arrived in the city, Zhu Qinghong saw Commander Luo on the city wall.

She smiled and raised her hand: "Get up. Just sit down."

Everyone sat down and handed over the dishes.

Su Rui glanced at Zhu Qinghong, but couldn't understand why she suddenly saw several commanders, and seemed to have some plans.

Now it is the peak of construction, and demons retreat and have no external enemies. It is said that we should not meet at this time, so is there any war?

After Zhu Qinghong finished his meal, he went to Lingxiguo with Su Rui. After handling the matter, Su Rui stayed.

Zhu Qinghong returned to Tianchong City and spread the word "Yuan You're in the morning".

After being summoned, Fang Youan was not sure why.

What's the matter with the city lord looking for him? He has passed the assessment of the judicial yamen, so it should be fine?

"Are you twelve this year? What are your plans for the future?" Zhu Qinghong asked casually.

It seems that the answer is not important.

"Feithfulness to the duties." Fang Youan was sweating coldly.

Has he done something wrong recently?

If you think about it carefully, there should be no.

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhu Qinghong took a sip of tea: "Wei Xuanyu is in Tianchong City recently, so you can contact him more often."

Ah? Fang Youan was stunned.

Is it considered contact for business? The city lord is dissatisfied. Could it be that he also needs contact in private? Why?

"If you can't figure it out, you might as well ask Yuanyou." Zhu Qinghong waved his hand to drive him away, "or ask Wei Xuanyu directly."

This... Fang You'an bowed and left.

Compared to Wei Xuanyu who was unfamiliar with him, he prefers to seek Yuanyou. What's going on?

Yuanyou happened to go to the yamen and was about to go home. When he met Fang Youan, he came to see him and invited him to chat at home.

On the stone table in the courtyard, Yuanyou poured two cups of tea: "Please. The city lord has his own intention. You can do it."

Fang Youan didn't like drinking tea, so he took a sip and let it go: "The city lord asked me to ask you. But you played a puzzle with me."

"You are too simple." Yuanyou looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup, "If you say who the city lord trusts the most, it's nothing more than you and Su Rui. However, compared to Su Rui, you are not as good as scheming, means, and power. If you don't have the same strength, you will not be able to catch her eyes at all."

"I know." Fang Youan frowned, "I am loyal to the city lord. I just need to do things well and don't care about anything else."

"No, you have to care." Yuanyou sighed and said in detail, "Since you and Su Rui are the left and right hands of the city lord, how can you be suppressed by her? The city lord lets you contact Wei Xuanyu, so that you can gather the city and get under your command. You can check and balance with Su Rui."

Fang Youan seemed to understand but didn't understand why he had to check and balance each other. Is it enough for everyone to do things for the city lord?

"The city lord's intention is to settle the distribution of power." Yuanyou picked up the teapot and placed it in the middle of the stone table, and then placed two cups below. "The city lord is the king, and you and Su Rui belong to two forces. Su Rui has Lingxi Kingdom, and you must take down the city."

"I think it's wrong." Fang Youan shook his head, "Since the city lord intends to implement his power, why would he not consider you?"

After a pause, Yuanyou smiled but said nothing.

The city lord has his own considerations. When Su Rui and Fang Youan reach a balance, the city lord can ascend to the throne. The city lord sees it farther than any of them, calculates it step by step, and moves forward steadily.

He could guess the city lord's intentions, and Wei Xuanyu could guess them too. That was why the city lord asked Fang Youan to ask.

Wei Xuanyu is a smart person, so he naturally knows how to do it. Yuanyou stood up and said, "The city lord ordered you to find Wei Xuanyu, just do it. I still have something to do, so I won't give it to you."

Seeing Yuanyou turn back to the room, Fang Youan frowned and puzzled. He said it well, why did he suddenly drive someone away?

Not explained yet.

Yuanyou sighed softly. Fang Youan, with Wei Xuanyu helping, will definitely grow up quickly and compete with Su Rui.

The emperor's power and skills. No matter how close you are, you will not let anyone dominate. He seems to have seen the blueprint of the city lord's idea of ​​holding power.

They are all pawns of the city lord.

Yuanyou opened the book on the case and protected it if it is useful, and discarded if it is useless. Without exception.

Fang Youan obediently went to find Wei Xuanyu. The other party heard his purpose and was indeed much more friendly. After that, Wei Xuanyu came to Tianchong City and Fang Youan received it.

Yuanyou is busy with business every day and reads books at night, and does not care about subsequent developments. Everything is under the control of the city lord.

Half a year passed in a flash, the river was excavated and the stone bridge was built. On the day when the water was confirmed to be released, many people came to watch.

Each face was filled with joy and looked forward to it. With Zhu Qinghong's order, many people dug up the soil at the mouth of the river together.
To be continued...
