Chapter 73 Beautiful Sky Island
On July 2, the fourth year of Tianxuan, it was still dark. After Qu Mao got up, he asked the maids in the lord's cabin to wake up Liu Qianhui and Mo Yangqiao.
Not even a soldier from the Imperial Guard of the Lord's Lodge was taken with him. Qu Mao directly took Mo Yangqiao and Liu Qianhui towards the civilian dock outside the fishermen's village. He only exchanged a few words with a guard captain from the Lord's Lodge before leaving.
On the civilian pier outside the fishermen's village, a super warship had been waiting for a long time. Qu Mao directly made it clear to Mo Yangqiao and Liu Qianhui that he wanted to go to Kongdao for breakfast.
It wasn't until the super warship left the civilian dock outside the fishermen's village that Liu Qianhui finally woke up from the state of being lost in the lake. She couldn't help but burst out in anger, and said to Qu Mao dissatisfied: "Grandma, Qu Mao."
!
You are the lord of Yicheng Territory, and you want to go to Sky Island with us. Why do I feel like you are a thief?
You wake me up so early, I haven’t slept enough yet.”
Qu Mao said helplessly: "Liu Qianhui, if you think you haven't slept enough, just find a cabin and continue sleeping.
As soon as Kong Ming and I returned to the Holy Land, heroes and managers from all walks of life asked to meet. It would not be appropriate to directly say no and go to Sky Island. After all, they are all key figures in our Yicheng territory.
This time they asked for a meeting, and it was not just for a simple matter of debriefing, because Kong Ming and I had only spent two and a half months on the main continent, and we had not completely severed contact with the Holy Land. They were always ready for work matters.
You can use the magic communication crystal to contact us, so nothing major happened during the report.
It was just a courtesy visit to them. If I told them directly that I was going to run away, it would be against etiquette and it would inevitably make these heroes and managers feel uncomfortable.
It is also appropriate for us to leave Kong Ming behind and leave the lord's cabin in a low-key manner."
Liu Qianhui stopped complaining, curled her lips, and muttered: "Grandma, you still slept like a shit. It doesn't even take an hour to get to the empty island. When you find the cabin and lie down, you don't even have time to close your eyes, and you have to get off the ship again.
.”
Mo Yangqiao had been standing behind Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui, but he didn't say anything. He just couldn't help himself and seemed to want to burst out laughing.
After a moment of silence, Qu Mao said: "If you are really sleepy, it's good to sleep for half an hour..."
Liu Qianhui scolded: "I'm sleeping on your grandma's legs, what's the point of sleeping for half an hour?
Alas, I shouldn’t have promised you to come to Kongdao again last night. It would have been better for me to just stay in the lord’s hut. Anyway, you and Kong Ming have returned to the Holy Land, so I won’t feel lonely if I stay in the lord’s hut.”
Qu Mao asked in astonishment: "Holy crap! Liu Qianhui, do you think Sky Island is bad? Why don't you want to stay on Kongdao?"
Without waiting for Liu Qianhui's reply, Qu Mao turned to Mo Yangqiao behind him and asked: "Mo Yangqiao, Kongdao is now under your jurisdiction. Liu Qianhui thinks Kongdao is not good. What do you say?"
Mo Yang happened to see Qu Mao asking a question, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Sir, Sky Island is being developed. Of course, the area of Sky Island looks a little smaller, but Sky Island must be beautiful and full of vitality.
Your Excellency is about to land on Sky Island, and my subordinates think that Your Majesty can experience the beauty of Sky Island in person, and there is no need for me to say anything else.
I accepted your order and served as a military hero stationed on the island. I have been performing my duties conscientiously and responsibly on the island. I think the island is very beautiful."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "That's true. The super warship travels very fast. We can reach the empty island in less than an hour. I'll see for myself then."
Sure enough, the super warship Qu Mao boarded arrived at the Sky Island Civilian Terminal in less than an hour.
Looking at the sky island from a distance from the deck of the super warship, under the dawn glow, the sky island is verdant, with green trees and grass complementing each other.
Seeing such beautiful scenery, Qu Mao sighed and said: "Well, when I first discovered Kongdao two years ago, Kongdao was just a barren island.
After more than two years of hard work by our Sky Island residents, we have finally transformed from a desert island into a verdant island. Looking at the color, I am afraid that the grass cultivation has completely covered the Sky Island, right?"
Mo Yangqiao said: "Sir, the current grass planting coverage rate of Kongdao is less than 100, but it has exceeded 80. The remaining places not covered by grass are either ponds, villages or roads.
Nowadays, the height of the grass on the Sky Island is generally about one meter. Except for places where people come and go, grass is planted in other places. The only trees on the Sky Island are roadside trees, which may not add up to a thousand. Currently, they are stocked on the Sky Island.
There are only about 200 war horses, mainly stallions and mares."
Qu Mao asked doubtfully: "Oh? I seem to remember that Zhao Pan herded a group of mounts on the empty island? Why is the total number only 200?"
Mo Yangqiao said: "Sir, after taking over the military defense mission of Kongdao, my subordinates arranged for manpower to transfer all the war horses raised by Lord Zhao Pan to Jidao.
Not only that, his subordinates also suggested that the heroes of Liandao transfer the war horses that were grazing on Liandao pasture to Jidao.
The area of empty islands and connected islands is small, and the vegetation is sown by us, and the root system is not yet stable.
The subordinates believe that there are plenty of places to feed war horses on Ji Island and the main continent. The main force of Master Zhao Pan's cavalry regiment is in Wucheng on the main continent and is stationed at Baihu Pass. There is no need for these few war horses to destroy the empty islands and the fragile alliance islands.
The ecology of pasture cultivation.”
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Well, it is a good idea to protect the fragile pasture cultivation ecology of Kongdao and Liandao."
Mo Yangqiao said: "Sir, my subordinates have also understood that there is no pressure to support 100,000 war horses on the pastures of Liusu Principality on the mainland.
Moreover, on the main continent, there are a large number of pastures in the Kingdom of Gil, the Kingdom of Bo Tier, the Kingdom of Abyss and the Kingdom of Lianhe.
Our cavalry regiments can be grazed on the main continent. If they must be grazed on empty islands and connected islands, they should be mainly bred and cultivated."
Qu Mao led Liu Qianhui and Mo Yangqiao to land on Kongdao, and said as they walked: "Yes, after all, the grass on Kongdao and Liandao is artificially sown the day after tomorrow, and it takes a long time to maintain and form an ecology. It needs to be left for several years.
It’s not a big deal.”
Accompanied by Liu Qianhui and Mo Yangqiao, Qu Mao walked around the island and chatted. Qu Mao did not plan to stay on the island for too long.
There are only three days and three nights before the meeting on July 5. In addition to Sky Island, there are 14 islands that need to be observed. On average, half a day is not enough for one island.
After breakfast on the empty island, Qu Mao said goodbye to Liu Qianhui and Mo Yangqiao, and returned to the dock to board the super warship to the outlying island. It probably wouldn't even take 10 minutes to get to the outlying island.
