The city wall is still getting taller and thicker, but one section has already begun to take shape. Walking on it, you can roughly see what these walls will look like after they are completed.
Liu Jianyu's tour of the city today was also his first official tour of the city after becoming General Sanyu. After going around, he was quite satisfied with the construction of the city wall. At least the thickness, strength, etc. are strictly in accordance with the requirements, and no one is messing around with it. But the speed of the project is a bit slower.
"General, there is nothing we can do about this. There is a shortage of craftsmen and labor. All of our newly recruited auxiliary soldiers have been put in to maintain the current construction speed." Chen Shen explained from the side.
Liu Jianyu didn't criticize anything, but just left one sentence: "Complete it as soon as possible."
Coming down from the city wall, Liu Jianyu met Bai Lang waiting at the gate of the military camp. An expression that looked like a smile but not a smile appeared on his face.
"General, Lieutenant General Bai seems to have something to explain to you face to face." Chen Shen also guessed Bai Lang's purpose and also laughed.
"He's just a cunning person. I didn't know what was going on with Feng Mingyuan before. I wanted to take advantage of both sides. Now I'm afraid of being manipulated by a kid from a family like Feng Mingyuan. I'll leave him alone for a long time, and then let him enter the stronghold in the afternoon."
"Yes, General."
So Bai Lang, who was waiting outside the military camp, waited from morning to afternoon in the strange eyes of the soldiers coming in and out.
When he saw Liu Jianyu in the tent, Bai Lang still maintained his usual respect. After paying homage, he stood up and stood at the bottom.
"Vice General Bai was very popular yesterday. The whole city knows that Vice General Bai has made great achievements in the industrial park and received great rewards. If you don't hold a banquet at your house to celebrate today, why are you here?" Liu Jianyu's words were cold and his eyes were like blades. Plunged into Bailang's body.
"General! I am here to explain what happened yesterday."
"Explanation? So you Bailang was not wrong, but you just misunderstood?"
"The general knows clearly that at this time and that time, before Bailang surrendered to the general, he was just a swordsman in the East City Sword Hall under the command of the city lord's palace. No matter what happens in the industrial park, he has no control over it. Under the control of the city lord's palace, he naturally needs to do dirty killings. . This was the duty of the general at that time. After he returned to the general's command, he had nothing to do with the city lord's palace. However, in the past, the friendship was still there, so the outside world often slandered the general.
The purpose of the City Lord's Mansion this time is hard to guess, but it is by no means half-hearted. Please give me a clear warning, general! "
After being silent for a while, Liu Jianyu sneered and said: "What a one-on-one thing! You did it yourself clean. You don't want to have anything to do with the City Lord's Mansion. Why did you just accept Feng Mingyuan's reward yesterday and not return it?"
Bailang also hesitated for a moment, and finally said shamelessly: "I was so greedy that I swallowed it and don't want to return it."
As soon as this answer came out, Liu Jianyu leaned back directly, never expecting Bai Lang to speak like this. He admitted that he was greedy for the elixirs, magic weapons and gold tablets, but at the same time he said that he had swallowed them and did not want to return them.
This answer sounded outrageous at first, but Liu Jianyu thought about it and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. I immediately understood the twists and turns.
"Tell me, what are these things that make you so greedy that you lose face?"
"Two bone-strengthening pills, a small yuan-boosting pill, and a magic weapon arm guard. The gold tablets are over a hundred. The general's short-sightedness makes the general laugh."
Liu Jianyu curled his lips, the pills were just like that, except for the Xiao Pei Yuan Dan, but could he also get something like the Bone Strengthening Pill? You must know that the Bone Strengthening Pill has a very limited effect on martial arts cultivation, and its significance is far less than that of the Xiao Peiyuan Pill. On the contrary, a magic weapon arm guard is pretty good. Thinking about Bai Lang's background, these things are indeed enough to make him greedy and shameless.
"Hmph, you will lose points for just a small profit. Remember, the military is not lacking in these things. You just have to do your job well, maintain all aspects of the industrial park for me, and find ways to increase the output of ordnance. This is much stronger than anything else you can do, and you will be given more rewards when the time comes.
You are a smart man. After this, I think you should understand where your position is. Stop playing tricks, otherwise the military rules will not be reasonable to you. "
"I will finally understand!"
"Okay, let's go down. I already know about this and I won't do it again."
"Thank you, General, for your kindness!"
Then Bailang bowed and bowed before exiting the tent.
The smile on Liu Jianyu's face gradually grew thicker, and finally he laughed and said to Chen Shen, who was also smiling next to him: "Isn't Feng Mingyuan's move made him angry? Hahaha, he actually made a baby out of someone like Bai Lang. I don't know if this is to show off his power or to smear his own face. After this, Feng Mingyuan's reputation will probably get a lot worse. Even the Feng family will have to be blamed by others for bad words.
I didn’t expect that a child from aristocratic families would be so unwise at times. It really makes people laugh! "
Chen Shen also laughed and said: "What the general said is that Feng Mingyuan was unwilling to have the actual control of the industrial park taken away by the general this time, but he had no way to resist or even dared to argue, so he got angry and made a stupid move. In fact, It makes people laugh. In addition to making himself look bad, it also makes him a joke. In the end, he is the one who feels uncomfortable.
Oh, by the way, Lieutenant General Bai was also the one who took advantage. He got a few pills and a pretty good magic weapon out of nowhere. "
"The aristocratic families are now shrinking, just like a tortoise shrinking its head. They are not only pretending to be dumb in the temple, but the businesses outside are also frantically selling off or replacing assets. This was not the case in the past few years. It was exactly the same during the Yunyan disaster.
If the situation becomes more difficult, they will encourage His Majesty to move the capital to Beining and follow the old path. Then wait for Shang Bang to come and mediate. There is no awareness of being a member of the country at all. Just like a group of insects, clinging to the country to suck blood and eat meat, it is just a hunting ground. Disgraceful.
But this is also an opportunity for our military. If Yun Yan can really be stopped, the power structure within the country will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future. No matter the old or new families, they will be stepped into the mud in front of the army! "
At the end of the sentence, Liu Jianyu's eyes lit up and his aura became stronger. But after a moment, his face was full of sadness again.
"It's a pity that Li Zhou's defense on the front line of Pengshan City has basically broken down. The entire defense line has been riddled with holes by Yun Yan, who frequently makes strange moves. Now he can only shrink the defense line and defend the front line of Pengshan City. I hope I can defend it longer. A few months. Otherwise, even though the Tianfeng Plain behind has been armed for almost half a year, the terrain is too vast and the time is still too tight."
"General, I heard that Pengshan City has ordered the Tianfeng Plain to start burning the plains, and that the food and grass in the fort are always close to kerosene. Once it is destroyed, the food, grass and jade will be burned first. Such a cruel strategy is at least Can it also delay the advance of the Yunyan Barbarians? After all, it is obvious that they can no longer rush in as quickly as they did in the previous battles to support the war."
