On top of the building, Zhao Yanxun sat on the ridge, looking at the guards who were busy in the distance.
According to Xu Yu's idea, the guards cut down trees from the mountains and found several large trucks to relay transportation on the city wall. They easily transported dozens of large logs.
These pieces of wood are more than half a meter in diameter. They are all selected to grow straight and cut into lengths of about ten meters.
There are mountains on both sides of Zhenxiguan, and there are so many good woods like this that you don’t have to worry about lumber at all.
At this moment, the guards have begun to repair the city wall. They are using the most basic mortise and tenon structure. Although the workmanship is rough, it is strong and durable.
Only guards who have been strengthened twice can easily cut and install these heavy timbers.
Some people are repairing the city wall with wood, while others are collecting gravel on the west side of the city wall to fill the inside of the city wall.
With a two-pronged approach, Zhao Yanxun estimates that it will be completed today.
Of course, more large troops are responsible for defending the zombies and stepping up the elimination of Kansai zombies.
After taking Zhenxi Pass, the zombies in the pass cannot "replenish" Longyou. At this time, clearing out the zombies will see the effect.
As a result, when Wang Zong handed over the steamed buns, Zhao Yanxun said: "This time you and Xu Yu will guard the border, and Liu Enfu will be sent to replace you in a month!"
"Life is tough here, so be patient!"
Although he had already guessed this, Wang Zong was particularly moved by Zhao Yanxun's words.
"Serving the prince, I dare not express my suffering!"
Zhao Yanxun nodded and said nothing more.
Time soon came to the afternoon, and I have to say that Xu Yu's method really worked, and the city wall had been almost repaired.
Wang Zong and Chen Yuhe led their men to repeatedly clear out the area on the Kansai side, killing more than two thousand zombies in a row.
Of course, Zhao Yanxun also contributed to this. He was bored by himself and joined the team of killing zombies.
Moreover, the number of kills he can kill alone is more than the forty or fifty guards combined. Unfortunately, these kills will not generate skill points.
When the sun sets over Xishan, the density of zombies west of Zhenxi Pass has been greatly reduced, and the guards can safely go to Liushan Station and transport the large amount of food left inside to Zhenxi Pass.
Zhao Yanxun will spend tonight at Zhenxiguan in order to prepare for zombie counterattacks.
As long as you stand at the city gate, see the densely packed zombies inside the gate, and listen to their endless roars, you will definitely worry about their counterattack.
It was only after nightfall that the voices of these zombies gradually became quieter, but they still screamed.
Both the inner and outer gates of Zhenxiguan have now been sealed, and the insides have been reinforced with "giant trees" used to repair the city wall.
At night, everything is quiet.
Except for the guards on duty, everyone else went to bed one after another, and Zhao Yanxun was no exception.
…………
Qianjiazhuang, the Qian family's mansion, in the main room of the inner courtyard.
Looking at the milk placed in front of her, Zhou Lanzhi was overjoyed. She asked the guards to help her find it.
In order to find the milk, the guards spent nearly a day before finding the milk from Liushan County.
"Thank you very much!" Zhou Lanzhi thanked her sincerely.
At the entrance of the main hall, the general who brought the milk replied: "Madam, you are too polite. I cannot bear this word of thanks in my humble position!"
It was already evening. To avoid suspicion, the guard stood at the door, two feet away from Zhou Lanzhi in the room.
Zhou Lanzhi has already gone to bed and will be admitted to the Forbidden Palace. In the eyes of this little flag officer, it is a certainty, so he is happy to serve Zhou Lanzhi.
In order to "curry favor", the flag officer arranged the matter of finding milk himself. He did not report it to his superiors, just to take the "credit" for himself.
Zhou Lanzhi has not yet been canonized, so we can only call her Madam.
At this moment, Zhou Lanzhi was happy and felt at ease at the same time.
After committing herself to Zhao Yanxun, she and her nephew's safety was finally guaranteed, and there was hope for their future lives.
She is a weak woman, and she also has a newborn baby. It is difficult for her to survive on her own.
"General, please give this milk to my nephew!"
"This is easy. I'll find someone to send it to you immediately!"
Nodding, Zhou Lanzhi continued: "Please tell Sanniang, general, that the milk needs to be heated before giving it to the child!"
"Now that I have taken note of my humble duty, do you have any other instructions, madam?"
"No more trouble, General!"
"Ma'am, you're welcome!"
The flag officer held the jar and exited the courtyard. Apart from the two guards guarding the gate, Zhou Lanzhi was the only one left here.
With the candlelight flickering, Zhou Lanzhi returned to the table, sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea.
Although things are now settling down, new problems and worries have emerged.
The unknowns of life in the forbidden palace, whether the princess is easy to get along with, what Zhao Yanxun's temper is... these are all worthy of worry.
On the other side, a guard came to Zhou Lanzhi's previous residence holding a jar.
There is a group of men living next door, and they are all wandering around the courtyard at the moment. They call themselves out to hang out, but in fact they are eyeing the women in the courtyard.
Fortunately, there were several guards standing guard around, observing the situation here, so Zhang Daan and others did not dare to act rashly.
In fact, the guards are all on guard against this. After all, they have rescued too many survivors and they have summed up a lot of experience.
At this moment, the guard holding the jar appeared, attracting some people's attention.
If you look closer, you can still see the milk in the jar, but I don't know whether it is cow's milk or goat's milk.
But no matter what kind of milk it is, these are good things, and everyone present is a little greedy.
I thought that the milk was going to be distributed to everyone, but the guard went straight to the women's courtyard.
After knocking on the courtyard door, the guard shouted inside and asked: "Who is Sanniang?"
When her name was called, Sanniang walked out with a big belly and a baby in her arms.
Seeing the guards looking for her, Sanniang looked particularly uneasy.
"Master Jun...what are your orders, Master Jun?"
"My wife asked me to give this to you. She asked you to heat up this milk and feed it to the child!"
Hearing this, Sanniang was a little surprised and asked: "Whose wife do you dare to ask?"
Seeing that Sanniang was pregnant with the child, the guard replied: "Madam is madam, she said that the child is her nephew, and the milk is for him!"
The madam is Lan Zhi. How did Lan Zhi become the madam? How can she instruct these guards to do things?
Sanniang had many questions in her mind, so she asked, "May I ask Master Jun, where is Lan Zhi now?"
"In front of the village!" the guard replied.
"Leave the things to you, it's time for me to go back and resume my life!"
After saying these words, the guard walked out of the yard.
After he left, the other two women in the yard gathered around him and looked at the milk in the jar with stars in their eyes.
"Did you two hear that Lan Zhi went to see the prince and is now his wife... What should you do now?" Sanniang, who was so humble just now, seems to be a different person now.
But this is her true face. When she was at Liushanyi, relying on Zhou Yanghui's authority, she was always bossing other women around.
"Yes, yes, let's go and heat the milk right now..."
"Sister, leave the baby to me to hold. Don't be tired while carrying the baby!"
The two women said these words, but in their hearts they were calling Zhou Lanzhi a fox, even though Zhou Lanzhi had never bullied them.
Sanniang said with a smile on her face: "Lan Zhi marries into the palace, you follow me... and you will have a good life from now on!"
