Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 141

Shen Yuexi remembered that in her previous life, she was very happy sleeping alone.

Soak your feet before going to bed and turn a few pages of a book.If you are sleepy, just throw the book away.A big bed, sleeping sideways, upright, changing patterns, how to sleep is her freedom.

Ever since she came here and shared the bed with Xiao Zhuo, her mentality has changed.

To sum it up, it is completely out of the single dog state.

When I started sleeping, I knew how to stick to the wall to make room for Xiao Zhuo.It's just that in the morning, things often backfire.

When you wake up at night, you don't have to turn on all the lights to go to the toilet.If there is any noise in the house, if you open your eyes and look, it must be Xiao Zhuo's reassuring back.

After getting used to this kind of life and becoming single again, she found that she also suffered from insomnia.

It was still the same room, and I was very sleepy, but I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.For her who has always had a high quality of sleep, it is very rare.

She tried various methods, until she rolled the quilt into a tube, hugged the quilt and rode on it before falling into a deep sleep.

Holding the quilt, as if holding Xiao Zhuo.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew she was thinking of him.

I don't know when Xiao Zhuo will return.

With his ability, he will never be in danger.This man is omnipotent, she just needs to follow behind him and let him protect herself.It has always been like this.

When she was under house arrest by Xiao Beiheng, it was Xiao Zhuo who came to rescue her.When Xi Rong came to attack, it was Xiao Zhuo who led the army to repel the enemy.

The only disturbing thing is that Xiao Zhuo is weak now, not only has no territory, but also no decent army.Xiaogang Village is the only place where he has won support so far.

Now that Xiao Zhuo is not here, she must guard this place for her husband.

She is not these ancient women who can only pin all their hopes on men.Xiao Zhuo's future is also her future.And this future, she can't just passively wait for Xiao Zhuo to develop it.

Shen Yuexi opened her eyes.

The east-facing window sills revealed a little light, and the sky was bright at once.

In order to charge the big bear, she deliberately pulled the bed to the east, so that the morning sun could shine on her in time.

"Big bear?" she tried to call out.

The universal manufacturing machine didn't respond. It seems that building a city has completely exhausted its energy. It has been charging for three days, and it hasn't turned on yet.

Shen Yuexi felt a little regretful.If I knew this was the result, I wouldn't use the universal manufacturing machine like this.

She got up, washed and tidied up, went to the kitchen to eat something casually, and left the yard.

Now she is alone in the yard, Mrs. Li and Li Wan are taking care of Mei Pu in Baixiu Mountain.Yang Cong was in charge of delivering news back and forth between Xiaogang Village and Baixiu Mountain, and he was very busy.

Seeing Shen Yuexi coming out, the sergeant guarding outside the courtyard said to her, "Mistress."

Shen Yuexi covered her mouth and yawned, "Has General Qiu already set up camp at Langya Pass?"

"Back to Mistress, General Qiu and Zhang Qianhu have led the army to camp at Langya Pass, and now the soldiers are also building the city together."

Shen Yuexi nodded and left the yard.A sergeant nearby led a horse for her.She got on the mount, whipped the horse, and rushed to the Langya Pass.

She has no experience in building cities.At first I thought it was not easy for thousands of people to work.It turned out that it took dozens of people to toss for an hour just to transport a processed city brick, and they had to find a way to lift it up after it was transported to the place.Everyone has to work in three shifts, digging out the women, the old and the young, and there are only a few hundred men actually working under the city wall.

After three days of tossing, the entire city wall has only been raised by four floors, and the current height is about the height of the ceiling of a two-story building, less than six meters.However, if the Xirong army wants to attack, they will not be able to climb up directly.

She followed the path to the iron mine.

At dawn, the artisans here have begun to forge crossbow bolts.The entire workshop was hot, and the flames in the stove made the shed glow red.The craftsman swung his hammer and hammered the fiery red arrowhead on the anvil.Someone nearby dipped the forged crossbow bolts into cold water with long iron clips, making a sizzling sound, and at the same time, a large amount of water mist rose.

Seeing her coming, the leading craftsman pulled off the sweat towel hanging around his neck, wiped his face, ran over and said to Shen Yuexi:

"Crown Princess, according to your instructions, six thousand extended crossbows have been built so far."

Three days ago, Shen Yuexi ordered the craftsmen to lengthen the crossbow.The range of the previous crossbow arrows was too short. She felt that such a dense rain of arrows could hit people casually. Naturally, the longer the range, the better.Then I discussed with Qiu Liming and lengthened the crossbow.

Qiu Liming thought her suggestion was good and agreed with it very much.

"How's the effect?"

"General Qiu has sent soldiers to try it, and the range is indeed half as far. But," the craftsman put down the sweat towel, "it's just that the accuracy is much worse, not as accurate as before."

Shen Yuexi said: "It doesn't matter, the crossbow arrow hits the enemy first, it's better than the enemy rushing closer. What about the iron mask?"

"The iron mask was handed over to General Qiu yesterday."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Seeing that all these arrangements had been made, Shen Yuexi bid farewell to the craftsmen and went to the city wall at the foot of the mountain.

It was light.All the torches that had been burning all night below the walls had been extinguished.Among the chaotic rocks all over the ground, people are sitting or standing, and the sound of iron chisels chiseling stones is heard.People use rolling wood to pad under the huge stones, and through the rotation of the wood, the stones are carefully moved towards the city wall.

Shen Yuexi walked through the crowd and found Qiu Liming.

"Mistress," Qiu Liming put down the iron pick in his hand, raised his finger and pointed to the dozens of wooden ladders leaning on the city wall, and shouted, "Before the enemy comes, we must be too late, and there is no way to build them up now." steps. Let’s use a ladder to improvise.”

The sound at the scene was too loud, and one had to shout to speak.

Three days ago, when he learned that the gods had opened up the avenue overnight, he was shocked beyond words.But he could never doubt Shen Yuexi's head.It can only be considered to be a real miracle.

This had never happened before, and it was the first time he had seen it.

Now everyone believes that the gods are protecting Xiaogang Village.On the opposite side of Xirong, even a hundred thousand troops could not shake people's belief.

This is also the reason why [-] sergeants dared to garrison here to confront the enemy.They believed they were an army protected by the gods.

"General Qiu, according to what my husband said, the enemy should still arrive in two or three days," Shen Yuexi asked loudly, "How high can the city wall be raised by then?"

"Now the city wall is higher, and it is more difficult to transport the city bricks up." Qiu Liming pointed to the city bricks that were pulled up a little bit by the winch, "It is estimated that one or two more floors can be built at most."

Shen Yuexi looked up at the city wall.

It is still far away from a city.If a city is compared to a house, now they have only built half of the wall.

Building infrastructure is really troublesome.When Big Bear is fully charged, some tools must be designed to speed up the construction of the city.

She was still thinking about it, when someone at the top of the city wall suddenly shouted: "North, look north! There is flying dust!"

"General, there are troops coming from the north!" A sergeant shouted down from the city wall.

"army?"

Shen Yuexi was surprised, did Xiao Zhuo lead the cavalry back?

She quickly ran to the bottom of the ladder and climbed up on hands and feet.Qiu Liming followed closely behind.

Looking up, the northern horizon is full of dust, and it seems that many people are rushing towards the Wolf Fang Pass.

"Xi Rong Army!"

Qiu Liming took a look and came to a conclusion.
