After the appointment for the expedition was completed, Mao Qi's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated. Although the Continent of the Dead was not against polygamy, as he had more and more wives, Mao Qi felt guilty. Because as a traveler, he needs to
He keeps traveling among various races to break through the forbidden door, while his wife and children have to live in endless expectations. This kind of shortcoming may never have a chance to make up for it.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Li's gentle voice interrupted Mao Qi's thoughts.
Mao Qi gently looked at the faint blush that appeared on Gu Li's delicate face, and his gentle eyes could melt the cold hearts. The past experiences of the two slowly came back, and a line of tears actually flowed out.
Cold tears interrupted Mao Qi's thoughts. He stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes. Mao Qi still looked at Gu Li in silence.
"What's wrong with you?" Mao Qi's speechless tears and downcast eyes made Gu Li feel distressed. He gently hugged Mao Qi into his arms and asked with utmost concern.
Guli's gentle movements and delicate words gave Maoqi incomparable warmth. With helplessness and anxiety, he told Guli about his experience in Xiangxiang Village.
What Mao Qi said made Gu Li feel mixed with emotions, including worries, complaints, and disappointment. But even so, Gu Li never thought of severing relations with Mao Qi, and his emotions kept changing with Mao Qi's experiences.
, especially when Mao Qi talked about the breath of another world and that he became a doctor, Mao Qi only felt worried and happy in his heart.
As for Zhu'er's existence, Gu Li accepted it calmly after hearing about Mao Qi's year-long suffering at Luo Ying Cliff and hearing about Mao Qi's amnesia. Because Gu Li knew very well in his heart why Mao Qi was at Luo Ying Cliff.
Suffering, in that kind of situation, being able to survive is already a miracle. And when Mao Qi needed herself the most, Zhu'er was by her side.
"Zhu'er is so lucky to be by your side when you need her most. Mao Qi, do you like Zhu'er?" After listening to Mao Qi's story, Gu Li was silent for a long time before asking.
When Gu Li asked this question, Mao Qi became nervous. He couldn't help but look at Gu Li, but saw that Gu Li's expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking in her heart.
In fact, regardless of whether Guli accepted it or not, Mao Qi was ready to tell the truth. After hesitating for a moment, Mao Qi nodded lightly and did not continue to explain himself.
Seeing Mao Qi nodding his head in recognition, Gu Li felt jealous and thought a little reproachfully: "What a stupid person, can't you say something nice to make me happy?"
But thinking about it, Gu Li still couldn't let go of Mao Qi. After all, he was the one who accompanied and supported him in his most desperate and helpless dark time; it was him who gave him the hope of survival regardless of everything; at the same time, he allowed himself to start anew.
He was the one who raised the hope. So Gu Li decided to choose him.
"Mao Qi, I know you can't stay with me forever, but I hope you will be nice to me when you are by my side." Gu Li said in a positive tone, but with a hint of complaint.
"Are you really willing to endure indefinite loneliness?" After hearing Gu Li's firm and decisive answer, Mao Qi asked calmly.
"Rather than living a hopeless life, I would rather wait in loneliness. What's more, there is no time to be alone. I will work hard for us to meet again." Gu Li leaned gently on Mao Qi's shoulder, his eyes filled with happiness again.
"In order to meet again, no matter how difficult the road is or in the desperate environment, I will persevere. Believe me, that day will definitely come." Mao Qi stroked Gu Oriole's shoulders and his eyes became firm.

In the forbidden area of the back mountain of the Ancient Palace Clan, also known as the Ancient Yin Mountain, the dark wind was howling, the air currents were flowing wildly, and the cold breath surrounded a disheveled figure, lingering for a long time. A moment later, a group of figures in gorgeous clothes and anxious faces hurried away
Got here.
"Gu Chu, you are so bold, how dare you break into the forbidden area without permission?" A leading man asked angrily.
This unkempt man was Gu Chu. In order to seek strength, Gu Chu gritted his teeth and blocked everything, and started the forbidden trial by stealing the tribal jade token. The person who questioned Gu Chu was Gu Xun, the second young master of the Gudian clan.
Gu Chu did not answer the ancient admonition, and did not even raise his head. All he responded to the ancient admonition was his cold breath.
"Gu Chu, starting the trial requires the protection of all the elders. If you start the trial privately, if you are contaminated with the devil's aura, the consequences will be disastrous." Another group of people hurried over, and the leader said with concern.
"I'm not willing to give in. When I first saw him, I hated him from the bottom of my heart. It was he who wiped out my hope. In order to take revenge, I need strength. Brother, please don't persuade me to leave here as soon as possible." Gu.
Chu's voice was cold and terrifying, like a demon from hell, and he still didn't raise his head while speaking.
"Gu Chu, you are stubborn and no one can save you." Gu Xun scolded. However, because his eldest brother Gu Dian was present, he restrained himself slightly.
"Get lost!" As Gu Chu shouted angrily, streams of realm energy mixed with stern screams suddenly attacked Gu Xun.
"You..." Gu Xun dodged and wanted to scold him again, but unexpectedly the rocks around him began to tremble.
"Get out!" Gu Chu's cold voice sounded again, and some rocks actually left the ground. The strange scene scared Gu Xun and others and fled the place quickly.
"Brother, Gu Chu is in big trouble this time." Looking at Gu Chu submerged by the rocks from a distance, Gu Xun said in fear.
"Even if the disaster is serious, I'm afraid there is no chance to punish him." Gu Dian said expressionlessly and left. "Second brother, the patriarch wants you to go to the meeting hall immediately."
…
After the Gushan Tribe announced the conquest of the Gudian Tribe, the first thing they did was to rebuild Shanhe Village. As the most dangerous gateway in Gushan, whether Shanhe Village is strong or not is directly related to the safety of the Gushan Tribe’s rear base camp. After more than two months of fighting with the Gudian Tribe,
During the war, most of the civilian buildings and defense facilities in Shanhe Village were destroyed, but the underground defense system was more complete. Therefore, under Mao Qi's suggestion, Shanhe Village was prepared to be built into a defensive fortress.
As soon as the proposal was put forward, it was met with many doubts. Especially Elder Tutu, who was an expert in urban construction and weapons production, had very good reasons for his opposition, that is, there was a lack of defensive buildings, defensive weapons, and most importantly, a lack of defensive facilities.
and materials to make weapons, and the cost of rebuilding them is huge.
But Gu Oriole firmly supported Mao Qi's proposal. The reason was that the geographical location of the mountain and river fortress was a battleground for military strategists, and it was also a stable source of living materials. Such an important place must be rebuilt even if all the tribe's resources were used.
In fact, the importance of reconstruction is well understood by the elders here, but with the current situation of the ancient mountain tribe, even if the whole tribe uses the strength of the whole tribe, it will only take five years to complete. Once the ancient temple launches an attack during the reconstruction, all the investment will be lost.
It will all be in vain.
"Elder Tutu, how many spiritual crystals are needed? You estimate a price, and I will sell them for you." Gu Li had already made up his mind, but the elders headed by Tutu resisted, making him a little angry.
Seeing Gu Li's tough tone, Mao Qi was a little surprised, but he was quite supportive. The most important reason for these elders to push and hide was that they were afraid that they would not be able to do anything due to insufficient spiritual crystals. Now that Gu Li has spoken out about his worries, see
What excuse do they have.
"Chief of the Ancient Oriole, spiritual crystals are indeed important, but in order for the rebuilt mountain and river fortress to be able to withstand the attack of trebuchets, special ores such as heavy iron stones are needed. And these ores are monopolized by the three giants in the Capital of Gold and Stone. Now they have a price but no market.
"It's hard to find a mine." Tu Tu said in a dilemma.
Since the reconstruction of the mountain and river fortress cannot be solved by the spiritual crystal, Mao Qi cannot stand by and watch. In order to stabilize the rear and let the front line have no worries, Mao Qi decided to take the spiritual crystal to go to Jinshi Capital in person.
As soon as he heard that Mao Qi was going to Jinshi Capital, and that he was also bringing Lingjing with him, Guli immediately said that he must go. Zhuer's incident is a lesson for others. You can get a wife in a small, dilapidated village. In a place like Jinshi Dadu, where people are obsessed with life and money,
Even more unexpected.
Tu Tu is not to be outdone. He is not afraid of Mao Qi's philanthropy, but he is afraid that Mao Qi does not know the goods and will be cheated and waste his spiritual crystals. If inferior goods affect the quality of the fortress and become a shoddy project, then Tu Tu will not
Will take the blame for Mao Qi.
In order to be able to be by Mao Qi's side, Tu Yu, Dali, Big Guy and Shan Ping also came forward and expressed their willingness to ride on horseback and wait for orders to take care of Mao Qi.
Before leaving, Titu specially handed over the reconstruction drawings to Gu Xiao, asking him to lay the foundation first, and then he could safely follow Mao Qi and others.
Jinshidudu, the largest and richest capital of the Gushan Tribe. It was once affiliated with the Gushan Tribe, and later became independent with the decline of the Gushan Tribe. It is not subject to any tribal control, but it is still recognized as belonging to the Gushan Tribe. The ore market in Jinshidudu is controlled by
It is controlled by three major families: Jin family, Shi family and Li family.
The bustling streets and exquisite and neat houses changed Mao Qi's understanding of the Gushan people. He did not expect that in a place plagued by hunger and enslaved by various miscellaneous taxes, there would be such a prosperous capital city.
.
Except for Tutu, who has seen the world, Maoqi and his group are all just a bunch of locals. Even Maoqi is no exception. Whether in China or in Tianwang, Maoqi has never truly understood what prosperity is. Walking on the street
, everyone felt that their eyesight was not enough. Fortunately, Tutu reminded him in time, so that he would not be too embarrassed.
"Boss Maoqi, we've been gone all day, let's find a place to stay." After a hearty meal, Gu Li said lazily.
Gu Li's proposal was quickly approved by everyone. The group happily arrived at a hotel, but they didn't expect that they would have to suffer after spending money to stay in the hotel.
"Sir, the rooms in our hotel are full, please find another one." As the only elder Titu who has ever seen the world, he led Mao Qi and others into an inn with a proud look on his face, but he didn't say anything yet.
, the store manager refused directly.
Full customers meant that business was good, and Tutu was not angry at all, so he led the crowd to another house. But he went to three houses in a row, and they were all the same, and he didn't even have a chance to talk.
Tu Tu started to lose his temper. Just as he was about to ask, he saw three middle-aged men with gorgeous clothes and elegant demeanor walking in. They asked the shopkeeper for the three best guest rooms.
"Sir, you are late, the inn is full." Before the shopkeeper could answer, Tu Tu said over his shoulder.
"Yes, yes. Sir, don't listen to his nonsense. We have three more superior rooms." The innkeeper looked flattering and quickly asked the waiter to take three men to see the rooms.
The innkeeper's arrogant attitude immediately made Titu furious. However, the innkeeper acted as if he didn't notice and was busy registering and socializing, for fear of neglecting the guests.
