The red curtain of the wedding had long been removed, but the mansion was still gorgeous. At the end of the ceremony, Dragon Girl sent most of the water tribe's maids back. This may be Dragon Girl's low-key style.
The joy in the family gradually calmed down and normal life returned. Except for the occasional admiration for the aquarium brought to the Dragon Palace and the luxury of the gifts, there seemed to be no other changes.
It's just that the Nanlian Mountain Workshop District is running non-stop, with craftsmen working in shifts, producing leaves and thunder, and preparing for war, and the atmosphere is still filled with chills.
At night, the sun sets, and in the vast sky, layers of sunset gradually dissipate in the curls of smoke, while traces of spiritual mist rise up, shrouding the mansion.
The main courtyard halfway up the mountain was lit with dim lights, revealing a sense of tranquility and tranquility in the mist.
Cao Baijing was practicing "Yun Shui Ji Tu" in an alchemy room. She was wearing a moon-white middle coat, sitting cross-legged with her bare feet, using her fingers to make magic spells, and the slightest breath was restrained on her body. As the exercises were put away, her mind was in Shui Ling.
He calmed down under the calmness, and when he looked at himself, he saw a small white pool with a watery texture, only about one meter in diameter.
"The spiritual pool has been opened... It can be finalized in the past two days. This volume is indeed the lost core Taoist book of our sect, and it is far more beneficial than the old "Youshui Jing"..."
She opened the window and quietly looked at the continuous fertile fields, spiritual fields, villagers, military camps, workshops, and even Taoist workshops at the foot of the mountain. They were all busy. Frequent and intensive exchanges of materials were woven into a large network through waterways, and their tentacles penetrated deeply.
Go everywhere in Yingzhou.
"After returning home from the Dragon Palace, there was another banquet. Many small tribesmen from this county came to the banquet again to express their thanks. My husband was busy meeting during the day and also went to see the Dragon Girl at night. He specifically said that there was something to do with the magic circle.
But I will still come to the courtyard to rest for an hour..."
There was a sound at the courtyard door, and there was a burst of footsteps on the verandah, which did not slow down as they passed by. The voice was that of the Dragon Girl. She remembered that it was raining today and she was on duty for water affairs.
Cao Baijing is a careful woman. When she recognized it, she put her head in and called out: "Sister Yun, come in."
"Isn't he at Sister Jing's place?"
The little dragon girl paused outside and asked suspiciously.
"Newlyweds are like glue... Sister Yun has a new person and doesn't she remember the old one?"
Cao Baijing said jokingly, she ran barefoot and opened the door. The little dragon girl outside was very generous, close in age, had many things in common, and had a good relationship.
"I'm indeed looking." Henyun admitted without blushing. He looked around and saw that there was no husband inside, and then his eyes turned to her: "Huh? Sister Jing has opened a spiritual pond. I haven't seen you for a few days... Oh, I think about it.
Although the earth is short, you have been here for half a year."
Hengyun understood, he put his hand on hers and felt it, and he had a clear insight: "It's so fast. He has invested a lot of resources in you down there? You are really caring..."
Cao Baijing smiled and nodded without explaining.
"That's just right. Sister Jing can help adjust the Jinyu Pavilion." Henyun smiled, pulled her and left.
Cao Baijing blinked. She was indeed curious about the Earthly Immortal's methods. She hadn't gone inside to see it yet...does she finally have the qualification now?
In addition to thick accumulation, earth veins also need to be solidified, while water veins can only accumulate, accumulate, and accumulate again... until the end of the water rises and crosses the line. Under this characteristic, the human race's physical lifespan is at a disadvantage compared to the dragon race. This is also what I have practiced in the past.
The reason for the slow progress is that not everyone can obtain a large amount of resources when they are young, and it will be even more difficult when the body ages.
A bright pearl shines on the top of the mountain. The placement of the Jinyu Pavilion is very low-key, just like the simple style of the Dragon Girl in weddings. Many people only looked at it in surprise, and only the magicians sighed at this fairy trick.
In many details that mortals cannot see, it is embedded with the main array of the Earl's Mansion, becoming the strongest main array eye.
Cao Baijing knew more, and went inside to see the Five Spiritual Ponds. She saw that this was a hall, with a pond in the four corners and in the middle. This pond was filled with the qi of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and it was cyclically transforming. At the moment, it was
Sighing: "Is this the Earth Immortal's design?"
Hengyun chuckled: "No, it was his design."
He knew very well who he was... Cao Baijing was stunned for a moment.
"The Five Qi Spirit Pond is still in the process of coordinating with the blessed land's spiritual veins. It's difficult for me to manage it alone without my sister. Sister Jing, please help me." The dragon girl grabbed her hand, jumped into the spiritual pool, and arranged: "The natural blessed land spirit
The veins all have directions. The main ones under Nanlian Mountain are earth veins and water veins. It would be most suitable if your husband is here. Let’s first get the water veins along the Nanyu River..."
"Isn't the magic circle coordinated?" Cao Baijing felt, a little confused. She remembered that her husband had been busy in Jinyu Pavilion for several nights to do this work, and he specifically explained it to her and Qianqian.
Hengyun raised his head slightly, his eyes shining: "It's not just the magic circle. My husband specially added it. It also has the effect of enhancing the blessed land. In theory, it can harmonize and resonate with the blessed land."
"If the connection and coordination are successful, the superposition and activation of the spiritual energy will be twice that of the original blessed land. This not only makes the magic circle stronger, but also absorbs the rainy thunder, which in turn gathers the underground spiritual veins, and continuously optimizes the nearby soil, crops, and the original core.
If the output of ten acres of spiritual fields is doubled, the area of spiritual fields will expand outward..."
Cao Baijing was frightened when she heard this, and thought: "In turn, gather the underground spiritual veins. Do you want to find a way to upgrade the blessed land?"
"It's us"
"My husband said that we should turn disadvantages into advantages. The invasion of foreign lands triggered a fierce reaction from heaven and earth. It is both a catastrophe and an unprecedented opportunity."
Hen Yunqiao's face was serious, and she clenched her fist: "The water veins are facing the greatest opportunity. Every round of large-scale astronomical tides is a majestic and endless energy. Whoever can intercept a bit for their own use has great power, although it is not as good as an immortal.
The source of the garden is self-generated, and over time it will be enough to increase the blessed land."
"Husband... you are really amazing." Cao Baijing smiled and whispered.
Hengyun was still excited: "Nanlian Mountain Cave Tianzhen Lord, how about this ancient title? But the monk throne can only be supported by Dongtian, and it is still far away. General Fudi, Dongzhenjun... and further up is the True Immortal Opening
In the fairy garden, your husband will definitely reach this level."
Hengyun already knew that he would enter the earth and open up the East China Sea. Her husband would turn the deep sea into the Pacific Ocean as a betrothal gift, and would even adjust the national destiny to support ocean development. From now on, he and his sister would be the kings of the ocean, which would be even more majestic than using the name of Taiping Lake, the name of his father's generation.
Cao Baijing was a little envious and stopped talking. She buried her head in the spiritual pond and adjusted herself silently...
Government Hall·Brightly lit
Lu Shangjing made a report: "The significance of waterways is becoming more and more obvious. Through waterways, they are connected into a network, and weapons, armor, and talismans are transported to various alliances. Massive materials, manpower, and food are gathered together, and the cycle responds like this. Before the war begins,
The benefits are realized in advance, and every gain deepens the strength of each family. It not only wins the hearts of the people but also deepens the connection, making the people tied to my family's chariot deeper. My lord, this method is so profound that the veins of the earth are thickened."
Ye Qing flipped through the financial and military reports, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Is the county's military deployment situation openly hostile to my family?"
Jiang Chen bowed in the front row of generals and said: "The deployment of troops in the entire county has been completed, and the county is in good condition. Our family borrowed the Dragon Palace as a backstage, and resorted to wooing from all sides. Originally, our alliance had the upper hand, and through hard and soft tactics, most of the Yu clan was separated from its vassals.
, the siege of the county has been completed, and the prefect Yu Chengen has recently issued a curfew order, but there has been little other response."
Didn’t the Yu family react much?
Ye Qing was a little strange. Even if Yu Fan lost power, Yu Chengen was not such an easy person to deal with in his memory.
At this time, he thought about it and said: "In this case, we will speed up the pace, borrow the authority of Longjun to integrate the waterways, and then use the name of clearing out the remaining invaders to block the main roads and deploy force in this county to create an established fact."
"What if the Yu family sends troops to stop it?"
"What I am really afraid of is the state army. There are 20,000 people stationed in Changqi County on the northern border of Nancang. But Long Jun has intervened in the military system. This army will not be able to deal with me so easily. At least the prefect Yu Chengen has not mobilized on a large scale.
The governor has the capabilities of a border guard, but he may not dare to make the decision."
Ye Qing said calmly: "The rest are the county troops. The Yu family has a lot of infiltrators, maybe thousands of people, and maybe they want to disguise themselves as thieves. These fights should be somewhat expected..."
As he said this, he suddenly asked: "Where is Yu Fan? How come you haven't heard anything from him?"
Jiang Chen shook his head and expressed ignorance, but Zhou Feng said: "Yu Fan did not conduct large-scale military operations, but he visited the ancient battlefield in private...
"Ancient Battlefield"
Ye Qing was slightly startled and thought about it thoughtfully.
The ancient battlefields in various states are basically the entrances and exits where the soil breaks through to the ground. This meaning is a bit deep, but such an important place has always been a closely monitored area by the imperial court and heaven. During wartime, it is even more vigilant when it is related to the safety of the land system.
Sen Yan, if something really happens, he will never sit idly by and do nothing, and it is not his turn to remind him.
So he kept it in his heart, calmed down and asked: "What is the reaction of the various families outside the Free Alliance in this state?"
Ji Caizhu went out to report: "Ordnance and combat equipment are better than ordinary interests. Many hesitant small families regretted it and asked to join our Ye family alliance. However, these groups are capricious and I dare not act on my own."
"It's not too late to wake up. It's okay to accept them. Now list the fourth level for me... As preliminary allies, or called quasi-allies, this group will first hand over generous certificates of nomination, and they can only be included after the war. Let's see if they can
Not lucky enough to survive."
Ye Qing never refused to accept forces, but he always grasped the screening, confidants, bones, minions, wings, and all kinds of separate treatment in order to stabilize the structure, so that the general situation could be more cohesive and withstand the storm, rather than just showing up and letting the wind and clouds drift away.
Come and go, it's better than nothing.
Ye Qing said simply, saying that concrete is strong because there are veins of steel bars inside. It was used in ancient city walls, and the rammed earth was layered with wood, bones, and bamboo bars.
"This is called a system in human nature. The Junwang family has established a system to withstand the storm."
Ye Qing said meaningfully, unfolding the map of Yingzhou: "This state is 2,000 miles away, and is divided into three regions: northeast, southeast, and central and western regions by the Beimang Mountains, Changhe River, and Taiping Lake. Each region has a relatively independent economy. Although
There are inter-circle exchanges, but they are not as close as within the region, and are not even as convenient as the economic circles of Lingzhou, Yunzhou and Xiangzhou next door... Mr. Ji, do you know why?"
"In terms of transportation, even if there is a communication connection, boats and cars are still needed to transport physical goods." Ji Caizhu said, focusing on his mind, and an idea flashed: "My lord said that the relative isolation of these three places geographically is... This is caused by artificial division.
"You guessed it right, this is the fundamental reason why the imperial court divides states and counties. Artificial division of states and counties prevents them from being unified, but this is still a check and balance and cannot really solve the problem."
Ye Qing smiled and saw that they understood, so he said nothing more and ended it: "Even with the help of the Dragon Palace, our limit is one county. Any more will be counterattacked by the governor and the court."
"Right now, stabilizing digestion and welcoming the offensive from outside is the first priority. Only by winning can we have the capital and righteousness to continue to expand."
"As for Yu Fan..." Ye Qing went to the window, looked at the dark blue sky and stars, and sneered: "This person is abnormal, so it's better to report it to him. Since you have Qing's authority, you have to use it when you need it. Don’t regret it in the end.”
