"What kind of failure could it be? You only came back with so few people. Didn't your plan to build a village fail?"
"Where are the others? They are separated, right? You were attacked there and we need to rescue them?"
The second sentence was said by Man Xiong. Although like Ji Hongdie, he also thought that Lu Chen's outing failed.
But he still had one last glimmer of fantasy, hoping that the leader's son was only separated but could be saved.
In this way, even if they fail, they are not completely defeated.
However, the questions between the two people made the barbarians who followed Lu Chen look confused.
They looked at each other and then said:
"Why do you think we have failed? With the leadership of His Highness, how could we fail?"
"That is, if you don't trust us, don't you still trust His Highness the Prince?"
At this time, these soldiers were a little angry. They were angry that people here dared to question Lu Chen. I can only say that once people become fanatical, they will not allow others to say anything bad about their idols.
But at this time, Ji Hongdie no longer cared about the attitudes of these barbarians.
Their words contained a lot of information. The smart Ji Hongdie and Yi Rong, as well as the businessmen in Yunzhou, had already figured out something from those words.
"Your Highness the Prince has not failed, have we succeeded?"
However, after thinking of this, there was no joy on their faces, only endless shock.
"What do you mean, have we succeeded?"
"Of course it was successful. The six sub-towns have been built. None of the leaders have died. They are all guarding the village against evil spirits."
After receiving the definite answer from the returning warrior, Ji Hongdie was in a daze.
"It's been built, how is it possible?"
She was in disbelief, and the bear was quite rude.
"Are you kidding? You have only been out for four or five days. I believe you can build two villages in such a short period of time, but six, how can you build them? Do you use clones?"
The news was so absurd that no one living here could believe it.
They admitted that Lu Chen was powerful, but Lu Chen only had one person. In their opinion, being able to establish two or three tribes in just four or five days was already a great performance by Lu Chen.
No matter how much, they dare not even think about it.
Their shocked expressions made the soldiers who followed Lu Chen back laugh.
After a long while, someone spoke in a somewhat arrogant tone:
"Don't compare you with His Highness. Just because others are not good at it doesn't mean that His Highness is not good at it. There is nothing that His Highness cannot do."
This is an exaggeration, and only this group of fanatical believers who have followed Lu Chen for several days and were impressed by Lu Chen's performance can say it.
But faced with such words, Hongdie and others did not know how to refute.
Because, from the expressions of the returning soldiers, they discovered that what these people said might be true. Lu Chen really built six sub-towns in four or five days.
"Four days, six villages, how on earth did this happen?"
Puzzle appeared in the hearts of Hongdie and others.
But then Ji Hongdie stopped thinking so much.
"My husband did not fail, we won, that's great."
Although Ji Hongdie, who cares about Lu Chen, can accept even if Lu Chen fails, who doesn't long for victory?
If possible, everyone wants to go higher.
Especially when she thought Lu Chen had been defeated just now and was in a gloomy mood, she suddenly learned the news of victory, which made Ji Hongdie even more surprised.
The relationship with Lu Chen made Ji Hongdie feel more happy, but the others were mostly shocked.
At the same time, a feeling of disbelief also appeared among the businessmen who gathered around.
"Is this a hallucination caused by the failure? Or is it deliberately deceiving us and asking us to invest more?"
Suspicion is not a derogatory term for businessmen. Only those who think more can live longer.
But in addition to being suspicious, capable businessmen also have the ability to read people.
At this time, both the impatient businessman and the tall businessman saw clearly the expressions of the returning barbarians.
The faces of those barbarians showed fatigue and sleepiness, but there was no trace of worry on their expressions.
Seeing the expressions of admiration, excitement and excitement on the barbarian's face, the two businessmen were a little confused about their guess.
"Did we really win?"
"It's probably true." After he finished speaking, the tall businessman continued: "If it were our counterparts in Yunzhou, they might have deceived us, but the barbarians are rude. Even if a prince explained it to them, they wouldn't be able to do it so quickly.
With the ability to deceive, that lord might have actually established six villages in four days, but how did he do it?"
Just when the two barbarians felt puzzled, a delicate voice sounded in their ears.
"Hehe, why are you two here? Are you congratulating my husband?"
The speaker was Ji Hongdie. Knowing the victory, she had returned to her shrewd and capable nature.
At this time, she was looking at the two businessmen with a smile.
However, being stared at by that smile, the two businessmen felt bitter in their hearts.
"Damn it, why did His Highness the Prince find a Yunzhou girl to distribute supplies? Like everyone else, wouldn't it be more in line with tradition to find a barbarian to be the supply officer?"
That was indeed in line with tradition, but the straight-tempered barbarians could easily be deceived by the merchants from Yunzhou.
This is also the reason why a businessman from Yunzhou complained about Lu Chen marrying a Yunzhou woman.
With the existence of Hongdie who understood the nature of Yunzhou merchants, the two of them had no intention of taking advantage of Lu Chen.
While Ji Hongdie stared at them with a smile, the two businessmen were thinking rapidly. They understood that the smiling Ji Hongdie had understood the reason for their coming.
And this also made the two businessmen have to give an explanation to Lu Chen, otherwise, they knew that Ji Hongdie would not say anything at this time, but once the Chen tribe established a foothold, it would be almost impossible for them to obtain benefits.
.
After thinking of this, it was the impatient businessman who was the first to come to his senses. Looking at the smiling Ji Hongdie, the fat businessman wiped the sweat from his face and said: "Please forgive me, I didn't expect the prince at all."
His Highness is so powerful that he built the entire village in such a short period of time." After saying this, the businessman said proudly: "I thought His Highness the Prince had failed and came here specifically to provide support. When I came here
I was just thinking that if His Highness the Prince fails, I will give all the goods I brought to His Highness so that His Highness can have the capital to make a comeback. Now it seems that I underestimated His Highness the Prince."
These words almost made the tall businessman's eyes pop out.
"Fuck, didn't we just agree to raise the price? Sure enough, if you can come here, you have two brushes."
Thinking like this, the tall businessman echoed and said: "I think so too. His Highness the Prince is so powerful that ordinary people like us cannot understand it. Please forgive me, Your Highness the Princess. I just thought that His Highness the Prince failed."
, this is my fault."
"Of course you can't understand His Highness's power. Wait until you see His Highness fight..."
Before Ji Hongdie said anything about the nonsense told by the two businessmen, those returning soldiers actually believed it.
Later, they also boasted about Lu Chen's achievements to the two businessmen, indicating that they already recognized the two businessmen.
Fortunately, Lu Chen already knew the character of the barbarians and did not hand over the distribution of supplies to his own tribe. Otherwise, everything he captured might be sold.
However, the words of the two businessmen actually made Ji Hongdie smile. Of course, she did not believe the lies of the two businessmen. She was happy about another thing.
"I am just a concubine of His Highness, but I cannot bear the title of princess."
"If you refuse, don't smile so happily!"
This was what the two businessmen were thinking, but they would not say it outright on the spot. Instead, they said directly: "To be entrusted with the important task of material distribution by His Royal Highness, you are not the princess, who can be?"
"That is, speaking of it, I went to Ji's house to see you when you were young. At that time, I felt that you had the image of a mother who cared about the world."
"hehe."
The impatient businessman did go to Ji's house, but at that time Ji Hongdie could only watch from outside, and could not even get close.
But now, seeing the existence that was previously unattainable complimenting her, pride and sense of accomplishment also appeared in Ji Hongdie's heart.
But such thoughts were interrupted by a cold snort.
Yi Rong came over, and when she saw Ji Hongdie being complimented, she didn't look happy.
In ancient times, real high-level officials did not value businessmen, and Yi Rong, who was born in the Yinshan Sect, did not value Hongdie, the daughter of a businessman, either.
And Ji Hongdie would not like to come over to fight for Lu Chen's favored Yi Rong. The harmony in the harem can only appear in dreams.
For her own rights and the status of her children, the woman who follows Lu Chen is destined to live in peace.
The two looked at each other for a long time. In the end, Hongdie's good mood was ruined and she could only hastily end the negotiation with the two businessmen.
Of course, Hongdie, who knew the thoughts of those businessmen, gained some benefits from this conversation.
The two businessmen, while angrily scolding Hongdie for being petty, complimented Ji Hongdie with a smile on their faces and said that it was appropriate to pay more.
The two businessmen did nothing wrong from beginning to end, but Lu Chen was so powerful that they had to pay a price just for having an idea.
This is this era, the strong is the right.
In this way, a confrontation started and ended in laughter, but the tribesmen who followed Lu Chen back did not notice anything from the beginning to the end.
They only thought that those two businessmen were really good.
…
Lu Chen didn't know the hidden confrontation, and he was extremely tired and slept until dusk.
Stretching in the water, Lu Chen felt that his body was completely revived, just like the land that had experienced dew after a long drought.
"Comfortable, I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time."
Deep sleep is indeed the best way to restore the body and spirit. A deep sleep allowed Lu Chen to clear away all fatigue.
While feeling comfortable, Lu Chen also opened the properties panel, where a series of system prompts appeared in Lu Chen's mind.
[The system prompts that the host's subordinates killed the wild beast - mountain boar. Congratulations to the host for gaining 17 experience points]
[The system prompts that the host's subordinates killed the savage beast - the colorful viper. Congratulations to the host for gaining 21 experience points]
…
A series of system prompts made Lu Chen look at it for a long time.
After some calculations, Lu Chen found that while he was sleeping, his subordinates who stayed in the village went hunting around, which allowed him to gain more than 3,000 experience points.
"Like a giant dragon, you can continue to improve your strength while sleeping. This dream is about to come true!"
3000 experience points is not a lot, and it is just a drop in the bucket for Lu Chen now, but it should be noted that these experience points are completely free.
Free things are always a joy, especially since Lu Chen knew that it was only daytime and his people could only hunt wild beasts, which would not yield much.
When night falls and evil spirits abound, his warriors will experience more battles, and he will also gain more experience points.
Therefore, Lu Chen could already predict that it would not be long before he could improve his strength while lying down.
"No, we can't be careless yet. I still need to bring ordinary people from the royal court."
A village cannot have only warriors. Only when enough people are farming and working can the warriors be freed up for training and conquest.
In particular, Lu Chen is preparing to become a totem god and turn this place into a divine kingdom on earth, which requires the prayers of many tribesmen.
"The prayers of believers will bring the power of faith, and when the power of faith is converted into divine power, it will not only increase my combat effectiveness, but also have a great bonus for my cultivation."
Lu Chen did not forget that after activating the godhead, the state of accelerated thinking caused Lu Chen to realize 5% of the desired progress in just a few seconds.
It can be foreseen that if Lu Chen can always use the godhead, all abilities will be able to be learned in a short period of time.
God is the omnipotent person.
Although experience points can also speed up this process, even better than divine power.
After all, even divine power cannot change a person's bloodline if there is no corresponding priesthood, but experience points can.
However, there are too many things that Lu Chen needs to improve, and his experience points are simply not enough. Therefore, while maintaining the ability to kill evil spirits and gain experience points, he can also rely on his divine power to improve his skills. This is the best option.
"Increasing the experience value is the most convenient method, but in addition to the experience value, I can also rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to advance, and there is also the thought acceleration that comes with the godhead. The three methods need to be carried out at the same time, so that the speed at which I can improve my strength will be
The fastest to arrive.”
Thinking like this, Lu Chen looked at his heart. There, there had been a qualitative change in the progress of strengthening.
【Left heart:20%】
[Right heart:20%]
"Have we reached one-fifth of the progress? It's pretty fast."
Don't think that 20% progress is very small. You must know that the experience value required for each of Lu Chen's heart temperings is 1.6 million. One-fifth of it represents more than 300,000 experience points. Two hearts together are six
More than one hundred thousand.
If it were an ordinary person, the tempering would have been completed by now.
When tempering these two hearts, Lu Chen did not consume any experience points. This was all due to Lu Chen's Qi and blood.
Of course, being able to temper so quickly has a lot to do with Lu Chen's Avalon. Without Avalon, if Lu Chen wanted to temper so quickly, the required materials could pile up into a small mountain.
"Myths are myths. In this way, it will take me more than twenty days to complete the evolution of both hearts."
"No, I have been fighting most of the time in the past few days and have very little time to practice. If I find a mountain top to retreat and practice, I will probably complete the strengthening of the two hearts in eleven or two days."
The only organs that Lu Chen needed to temper were the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and the tempering time for these five organs was similar.
This also means that if Lu Chen concentrates on training, even if he condenses a few more hearts, he can complete the tempering of the internal organs and reach the peak of bravery within half a year.
Moreover, with the unity of man and nature, the protection of the sun, and the small world of Avalon, Lu Chen still did not need any supplies to complete it within half a year.
"If there are treasures from heaven and earth, or the heaven and earth are accelerated, my tempering speed will be accelerated again, and I will reach the peak of the brave within half a year. This speed is not slow for a genius."
"It's just that, for me, it's still too slow."
Thinking like this, Lu Chen looked at the experience value column.
There, Lu Chen's experience value has undergone great changes.
