After seeing it, Zhu Qinghong didn’t say yes or not.
He knew that the city lord was still dissatisfied with the new plan. However, some professional knowledge could not be shown off by just learning.
"Put this matter aside." Zhu Qinghong did not embarrass Yuanyou, "Go and do other things."
Yuanyou nodded, bowed and stepped back.
Zhu Qinghong released the flying camera: "How is the progress of the channel connecting the two cities?"
[Everything went well. The manpower was limited and the construction period was short. They built a simple shed with wood and mainly cleaned up the demon corpses.]
Zhu Qinghong looked at the screen and nodded.
In the projection screen, a group of men in coarse linen clothes are busy on the deserted land.
"Isn't it Miss Su who is delivering food today? Which one of you dares to come up and talk to me?" a man encouraged while working.
"I want to talk to Miss Su, but I don't want to urinate and take pictures. Don't you know what you look like?"
"General Wei is very respectful to Miss Su. Who are we? We dare to come forward."
The men were laughing and joking.
Leng Yi saw Wei Zhou walking away. It was almost lunch time and he should have gone to get some food.
Putting down the half-carried body, he followed quietly. It was indeed Su Rui's turn to deliver food today.
As soon as she left, Wei Zhou arrived.
Su Rui handed over the basket and chatted with her for a few words. Wei Zhou felt that she was gentle and gentle, and he was willing to get closer to her.
After saying a few words, Su Rui roughly understood the temperament of the person in front of her. He was upright and had a strong sense of responsibility, so he could rest assured.
"Is lunch here?" Leng Yi pretended to smile and walked over, "Everyone is already hungry. General, let me get it."
Wei Zhou was a little unhappy that he came without permission. He had no discipline and simply didn't understand the rules.
Leng Yi didn't notice Wei Zhou's expression at all, and kept looking at Su Rui.
She was wearing purple today, and there was a charm in her elegance. It was hazy and even more attractive.
Carrying the basket, Leng Yi straightened his back with all his strength: "Thank you, Miss Su, for a quick trip."
"It's just a duty." The smile on Su Rui's face did not reach her eyes. The way this person looked at her was quite disgusting.
Su Rui was never at ease with the men's astonished and appreciative glances. Many people were self-aware, and the gap was too big and they only saw her as a beautiful painting.
This person is different, his eyes are full of filth and coercion, he wants to possess her eyes.
"Miss Su, are you tired from the journey here?" Leng Yi raised his hand and asked, "Why don't you find a clean place to take a rest?"
"No. I still have official duties." Su Rui smiled and nodded, "General Wei, I'll take my leave."
She glanced at Leng Yi and raised a meaningful smile.
Wei Zhou bowed his hands and said goodbye: "Miss Su, walk slowly."
Leng Yi was about to speak but stopped when he saw her turning around with unclear emotions in her eyes.
Su Rui suddenly turned around and asked him: "What is your name?"
"Leng Yi." Leng Yi was very excited.
Her eyes became colder, she smiled softly and turned away: "I will remember it."
The moment she turned around, Su Rui's smile turned from soft to fierce.
She hates dirty men most in her life, especially those whose intentions are obvious.
Beauty is so different to him.
Leng Yi's heart is racing. Do you like him? If you find a beautiful woman in your arms, it will be a great joy in life.
Su Rui gradually walked away.
Wei Zhou frowned and warned: "Next time, military law will be dealt with. What are you looking at? Go back."
Leng Yi looked back three times in one step.
He is no longer a slave. Even if there is a difference in background, as long as she truly falls in love with him, things will work...
After getting the food back, Leng Yi distributed it to everyone.
Men discuss and discuss these things, and everyone laughs loudly.
"Captain, have you met Miss Su? She is gentle and beautiful. Who wouldn't want to marry her home?"
"How can an official like us? Just stop thinking about it."
"If you can't get it, why don't you think about it? How many peerless beauties can people like us meet in a lifetime? Some of them are pretty good."
The whole room burst into laughter, one joke after another.
Leng Yi gnawed on the steamed bun and looked into the distance, wondering if she would be safe on her way back.
Tian Chong City.
Su Rui landed and took off her mecha.
She entered the palace and acted coquettishly: "Sister, I'm so thirsty. Give me a cup of milk tea."
The robotic arm immediately handed over a glass of lemonade. Su Rui took it and drank most of the glass in one breath: "It tastes good."
"Has the passage from Tianchong City to Lingxi Kingdom been built?" Zhu Qinghong crossed his legs and scooped half of the watermelon with a spoon.
"Almost." Su Rui opened her mouth with a smile.
Zhu Qinghong smiled and fed her a spoonful of watermelon: "Has Lingxi Kingdom notified you?"
"Yeah." Su Rui happily ate the watermelon, "We have dug out some ore. Once the tunnel is built, we can transport it here."
Building a passage is not difficult for Fang Youan and Su Rui. What hinders them is the demon. Even though the demon is not strong, there are too many of them.
Not only does it take time to clean up, but the established passages will also be harassed. They can only slow down and kill them.
"The passage here has been built. Shouldn't the road to the water source in the south also be cleared?" Su Rui asked with a smile while lying on the desk.
"There's no rush over there." Zhu Qinghong had eaten enough and gave Su Rui most of the remaining watermelon, "Let's go to Haocheng first."
Su Rui jumped up and sat on the table, holding a watermelon and eating while saying: "Haicheng? How many talents do you want to recruit?"
How many?
Zhu Qinghong smiled but said nothing.
How can one allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
Haocheng is too close to Tianchong City...
After eating the watermelon, Su Rui jumped off the desk: "Sister, I'm going to work. When I finish my work, I will accompany you to Haocheng to see it."
"Go." Zhu Qinghong nodded.
Su Rui went out happily.
After a while, she ran back and returned the spoon.
Su Rui bared her teeth and smiled, she really left this time. Zhu Qinghong smiled helplessly, after all, he was only fifteen years old...
In the sky, Su Rui, dressed in a blue mecha, passed by. She looked down, feeling indescribably carefree and carefree.
Beautiful freedom...
Passing by Wei Zhou's group, Su Rui saw Fang You'an from a distance. She flew forward and landed on the ground.
"Let's have lunch." Su Rui took out a piece of cloth from the basket and spread it on the ground, then took out lunch and put it on top.
A group of people in Weizhou eat the same lunch as the common people every day. Steamed buns, steamed buns, pancakes, etc.
Fang Youan and Su Rui also eat sometimes, and Zhu Qinghong usually adds one or two dishes to them.
It tastes even better when paired with steamed buns.
After taking off his mecha, Fang put it on and sat on the ground.
He picked up his chopsticks and ate loudly: "The passage will be opened as soon as possible, and the people of Lingxi Kingdom can also help clean it. Those people behind are too slow, and they may delay the city lord's important affairs."
"Okay." Su Rui took a bite of green vegetables and said, "I will make arrangements then. You are responsible for checking the safety of the passage."
Once the channel is built, it’s all over? How is that possible?
There are still demons harassing you, and one of them must patrol during this period.
Su Rui has national affairs to deal with.
Patrolling can only be left to Fang Youan.
When the passage is stable, the demon retreats.
Only then can they succeed and retire.
Only after safety is confirmed, the two cities can communicate with each other.
Of course, not everyone can move around freely, so it is better to have a specific token.
After eating, they continued to work.
The two of them used all their strength to kill batch after batch, then put down their storage devices and sat back to back to rest.
Fang Youan and Su Rui never dared to think about resting among the monster corpses.
Those days when I was afraid of monsters were like a dream.
The sky was like a lamp gradually extinguishing, and darkness swept across the earth. Su Rui raised her head and looked at the sky: "Have you seen the stars in the sky?"
"Maybe I've seen it before, but I don't remember it." Fang You'an has been either locked in a cage or on the run since he had memories.
Stars? What are they like? Are they the shining things in his dreams? He was once afraid of the dark night and longed for light to dispel the darkness.
As the saying goes, he thinks about things every day and dreams at night. In his dreams, there is always light shining on the earth, which is more dazzling than the sun.
"The stars hang in the sky, twinkling like little eyes." Su Rui smiled and stretched out her hand, "It's a pity that they can't be seen."
When did it start?
Maybe six years ago, maybe even further back.
It's always gray during the day and there are no stars at night.
"The little eyes are covered, so we can't see." Fang You'an stood up and "go back and rest."
Yes.
The little eyes are covered.
Su Rui lowered her eyes and smiled, covered by the gray sky. She probably won't be able to see it anymore...
Fang Youan and Su Rui worked hard for nearly a month and finally built the passage. She went into the city to arrange various matters, and he patrolled all the way back.
The quantity of ore produced is not ideal.
Gao Chen reported from the side: "We have lost too many things due to the demon's attack on the city."
Some things can be regenerated, and some things cannot be prepared. Mining tools are one of them.
They can't forge it.
In the past, they traded with Haocheng and stopped mining after the road was closed. Lingxi Kingdom did not pay much attention to maintenance, and there are not many tools that can be used now.
Su Rui went to the mine to check the situation in person.
The people are working very hard, but the output can never increase. You can't dig with your bare hands.
She reported the situation to Zhu Qinghong and suggested that she go to Haicheng immediately. Tianchong City has no mines, so naturally there are no mining tools.
Whether you go to Haocheng to buy or rob, you can always get something. Zhu Qinghong asked her to take care of the state affairs first and not go to Haocheng.
Since there are not many ores, Su Rui wants to get some other items to trade in Tianchong City.
The most cloth, a small amount of wine...
Su Rui was so busy that her feet never touched the ground.
Repairing leaks in the city wall, rebuilding various places, and accounting records for grain shipments, etc.
She had to read too many things in one day, and the old habit of some courtiers relapsed. The memorial began to be filled with rhetoric, and there was no trace of the incident in it.
Feeling angry, Su Rui dropped the memorial: "It's okay to rely on your old age and sell your old age. Send the order, reduce your position and investigate."
No one dares to step forward to cause trouble.
Gao Chen took the order to go on an errand.
Su Rui continued to read the memorial irritably, reading ten lines at a time.
The grain in the warehouse was about to bottom out, and she had to make a decision immediately. On the one hand, she sent people to keep an eye on the grain in the fields to see when it would be harvested.
On the one hand, people were asked to rush to pack things and be ready to go at any time. Su Rui ordered many people to be sent out to clean up the demon corpses in the passage.
I can't control that much, and I will pass immediately after cleaning up.
At worst, she will escort the team throughout the entire process and prevent the team from getting into trouble on the road.
As Su Rui was busy day by day, the passage was cleared quickly. Wei Zhou and his party entered the city and were given accommodation to participate in the subsequent construction of the pavilion.
A group of them looked around curiously, sighing that the houses in Wancheng were more beautiful.
There are more people than them and it’s more lively.
Wei Zhou and others found a temporary residence and walked around. They will stay here for a while until they finish the work and return home.
