Xiaoyao City is still the same as before. No matter how big things happen outside, everything in the city still runs on its own.

Even if the capital of Zhao State was captured, Xiaoyao City did not change much.

In this era, even if a war comes, it is impossible for people to migrate on a large scale.

Not to mention that the State of Zhao and the State of Chu were separated by the State of Wei and the former South Korea, so ordinary people could not travel this far.

Of course, there is still some impact on business, but not very big. After all, the products in Xiaoyao City are purchased by the merchants themselves.

During this period of time, in addition to practicing martial arts, Li Chen also started planning the buildings in the city.

With an area of ​​more than 500 square kilometers, it would still be considered a small city even in later generations.

According to the topography of the city, some of the more peripheral areas with less convenient transportation are classified as agricultural areas.

Li Chen planned to develop some of it first, and then move some of the residents there, so that he could farm with peace of mind from now on.

Although there were not a lot of seeds provided by the system back then, after two years of cultivation, they were almost there.

In another year or two, it will be enough to plant all the land in Xiaoyao City.

In addition, water conservancy and roads in the city have also been re-planned.

Next, Li Chen plans to plan and rebuild the residential shops in the city.

It doesn’t mean it should be as prosperous as later generations, but at least it should look clean and tidy.

As for the fighting outside, Li Chen didn't care much. As long as the war didn't reach Xiaoyao City for a day, Li Chen wouldn't get involved.

However, the reality is a little less than what Li Chen expected.

Just when Li Chen was busy with his transformation project, someone came to his door.

Li Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard that Zhang Qi came to tell him that peasant hero Kui Tian Guang and Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom came to visit him.

Li Chen had also heard rumors before that the peasant hero Kui Tian Guang was assassinated by a trap killer and disappeared after that.

Logically speaking, he should be hiding now and not showing himself to others, so why would he come to his door openly now?

As for Yan Dan, let alone that. Although the two had only met briefly, Li Chen never felt very good about him.

Now that the Six-fingered Black Man is dead, if he is not busy plotting to become a giant of the Mohist family, what is he doing here?

After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure it out, so he took Zhang Qi to the reception room of Xiaoyaomen, intending to meet the two of them in person.

Both of them were covered in black robes, and at this time, they had taken off the coverings on their heads.

Seeing Li Chen come in, the two of them stood up and saluted Li Chen. "Farmer Tian Guang, I have met the city lord."

"Yan Dan of Yan State has met the city lord."

Li Chen returned the greeting: "Boy, long time no see."

Then, he walked up to the main seat and sat down, and motioned for the two of them to sit down.

Li Chen stared at the two of them for a while, and then he said to Tian Guang: "Some time ago, I heard that Xiakui was assassinated by a net killer and disappeared. Now it seems that the rumors in the world are still not to be believed!"

Tian Guang cupped his hands and said: "The city lord is joking. I was indeed assassinated by a trap killer before, but I was lucky and managed to escape with my life."

Li Chen sighed: "This Luo Wang is so arrogant. He dares to assassinate the head of a dignified family at will. I don't know how this hero plans to take revenge. Maybe I, Xiaoyao City, can help. After all, we and Luo Wang are fighting to the death."

Already."

Tian Guang shook his head and said: "The farmer has not taken any action for the time being. I came here this time because I want to cooperate with the city lord."

Li Chen smiled: "Farmer disciples are all over the world, and there are countless masters in the sect. What else does the hero need to do in my little Xiaoyao City?"

Tian Guang sighed: "The city lord is joking again. Although my farm family is powerful, the disciples are uneven, and their origins cannot be guaranteed.

The city lord's Xiaoyao City can withstand the Chu State's 80,000-strong army, and the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect have also been sorted out by the city lord. They are all usable people and are better than the peasants."

Li Chen nodded slightly, looked at the two of them and said, "I wonder what you two want to cooperate with? My Xiaoyao City is small and I'm afraid I can't bear any trouble."

Tian Guang said solemnly: "In recent years, Tyrannical Qin has gone too far, ignoring Zhou rites and constantly conquering all directions. South Korea and Zhao have been destroyed by Tyrant Qin's troops.

But the violent Qin had not yet been satisfied, and set its sights on Yan and Wei.

We came here this time to unite with Xiaoyao City to fight against Qin’s military front.”

Li Chen understood: "Xiaoyao City is just a small city in Chu State, how can it shoulder the important task of resisting Qin?

Instead of wasting time on Xiaoyao City, you two, why not unite with the royal family of Chu and send troops to fight against Qin."

Tian Guang and Yan Dan looked at each other, and Yan Dan said: "To be honest with the city lord, before coming here, we visited the royal family of the King of Chu. They promised to send troops to Qin, but the city lord needs to give up Xiaoyao City."

Li Chen looked at the two of them and sneered: "Haha, you two have made a good plan. Since you have reached an agreement with Chu State, what are you doing in Xiaoyao City?

Is it possible that you two think that just by relying on your sharp tongue, you can get us to hand over Xiaoyao City?"

Yan Dan said in a deep voice: "City Lord, now, the Chu State has promised to send troops to fight against the Qin State as long as it takes back Xiaoyao City. By then, the people of the Yan State and the Wei State will be free from war. Such actions will be condemned by the world.

Praise."

Li Chen rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Whether the people of Yan or Wei die, what does it have to do with me?"

Tian Guang said in a deep voice: "What the city lord said is wrong. Even if the city lord doesn't care about the people of Yan and Wei, if he can make Qin stop attacking, his name will be passed down through the ages."

Li Chen snorted coldly: "Humph, as far as I know, the reason why Qin sent troops to Yan was because Prince Dan fled Qin privately. If His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to surrender himself to Qin, Qin's military attack will naturally be stopped.

.

As for the Wei State, the peasant family has 100,000 disciples in Daze Mountain. With just an order from the hero, the army of 100,000 people will definitely be able to help the Wei State block Qin's army.

Our Xiaoyao City is just a small city. Even if we hand it over, how many troops can the Chu State send? It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others!"

Tian Guang and Yan Dan's expressions darkened. After a while, Tian Guang finally said, "So the city lord is unwilling to hand over Xiaoyao City?"

Li Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to hand over Xiaoyao City, it's just that even if I hand over Xiaoyao City, it won't have any effect. You two might as well consider the suggestion I just made."

Tian Guang and Yan Dan looked at each other, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, we will leave. I hope the city lord will not regret it."

Li Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, you two, now that I have made a decision, I will not regret it."
