Dark Fairy

Chapter 330 Bubbling
Another half a month passed, and the entire inner city of Yongchuan became more and more dull, and panic had begun to spread in the streets and alleys.

Even the traffickers and pawns on the street have noticed the unusualness of Gejiang's increasingly stringent estrangement and interrogation.And some rumors from the south are also spreading rapidly in places beyond the control of the yamen.

In particular, the garrison began to build fortifications on both sides of the city walls facing west and south. It seems clear that there will be enemies coming from these two directions?Or the enemy is already very close?
Many people actually regret not running to the north earlier. Even if the journey is harder, it would be much better than being trapped in the city and panicking all day long, right?

As it is now, the city can only do some labor to make ends meet, other than that, with the permission of the yamen, it can only do some vegetable and fruit transactions with Zhuangzi outside the city, and things related to the dirty luck in the city.

In the past, everyone was full, then everyone was [-]% full, and now everyone is half full.Food control has reached a level comparable to that of a war.All non-combat but labor-intensive people can still eat seventy percent full, and non-combat and non-laboratory people can not starve to death.

Public dissatisfaction?Nearly [-] soldiers are stationed in Yongchuan City. Are they afraid of your little public grievance?
Of course, the lifelessness is only aimed at the city, but the industrial park outside the east of the city is another scene.If you are in a battle state where you don't even feel the situation.Here is a scene of busy grasping production.

Not only are the original Zhou family and Hou family's production capacity going all out, but even the two newly introduced iron and steel smelting firms under the banner of Liu Jianyu are gritting their teeth and working hard. .

At present, one of the newly built blast furnaces has already started to ignite and test the furnace. If everything goes well, it will be about ten days before the iron can be officially produced.

On the pier, it was still in the tea room where Bai Lang used to rest his feet. At this time, Yang Xiu, Zhou and Hou were present.

"How's it going?"

"Zu Dao, after going back and forth for half a month, we finally reached an agreement. Just like your previous judgment, those guys in Daomen Village couldn't resist the temptation. After hearing that we can prepare a complete When the ordnance production capacity was relocated, he immediately agreed.

It's just that they have been haggling over the number of the first batch of people who will be stationed later.But it's basically settled.Not much different than what you settled on. "

Yang Xiu said while handing a list to Bailang.

After Bailang took it, he glanced at it briefly. There were actually not many changes on it, and they were almost all made by him, Yang Xiu and Liu Xu.It's just that some of the knives named "Guardian" were obviously cut off from the list.This shows that Daomenzhai is also well aware of the tricks in the list.It's just that he didn't refuse the temptation of ordnance.

After reading it, Bailang handed the list to the hands of the two Zhou and Hou families who had been looking forward to it for them to see for themselves.

"Two of you, after you get down, you should each prepare a group of your children to go there first. The rest of the businesses will continue to be contacted by your two families. Everything is based on the names on this list and cannot be changed easily."

"Don't worry, Zuo Dao, we have been preparing for a long time, and we can start at any time!"

"There is also the relocation of ordnance production capacity. Remember what I told you before. Remember to plan it carefully. Neither the craftsmen nor the key equipment can go there first. The key parts will not start until at least half a year later."

"Zhou and Hou must strictly abide by Zuo Dao's order!"

Having said that, the people of Zhou and Hou families got up and said goodbye and left.The stone that had been hanging in their hearts before finally fell to the ground.Bailang did not cross the river and demolish the bridge, but continued to fulfill the promise he had made to the two of them.More than half of the names on the list are from the two of them, and the rest are from the other companies.And the waist knives of the knives shop mixed in it also accounted for the number of the rest of the knives.

Such treatment can be said to be generous enough.All that remains is to make final preparations and send away those whose families need to be evacuated first.

After the Zhou and Hou families left, Bai Lang poured Yang Xiu a cup of tea and said, "Is there any other news?"

Yang Xiu obviously had nothing to say before, his appearance was obvious, Zhou and Hou's family saw it and left in a hurry, that's why Bailang asked this question.

"Yes, Zuo Dao. The news from Daomenzhai came yesterday. They asked you to meet at the pebble beach on the back of the bay, thirty miles upstream from Changshui, tonight. They said they wanted to talk to you face to face."

"Oh? Someone is here?" Bailang was somewhat surprised after hearing this.Because during the period of contact with Daomen Village, the other party's habits and attitudes were extremely cautious. They had always just bargained with Bailang's request. This is the first time that they have actively sought contact like this. Second-rate.

"Who is here?"

"It is said that it is Li Longcheng, the sixth head of the Daomen village."

"Li Longcheng? The one who trained archers?" Bailang also had an impression when he heard this name, and he was mentioned many times in previous reports.

"Yes, Zu Dao, that's who he is."

"Where are our people? Why didn't there be any news before?" Bailang frowned slightly.

"Returning to the seat knife, it should be deliberately hidden from our eyes and ears, and the news came after we got here. It should be showing us that they have also touched our roots."

"Demonstration? Hehe, I'm afraid it's more than that. It's more likely that they are going to test our strength. It seems that although they still ate the bait we threw this time, they still choked a little, and they were going to find a way to smooth it out." Yi Shun."

Yang Xiu could hear the coldness in Bailang's words.

"The seat knife means that the visitor is not good?"

"The good ones don't come. They just want to see if they can control us."

"Then, how should we deal with Zu Dao's intention?"

Bailang was silent for a long time before he said: "I can't go if you don't. You follow me for a while, and the rest is just to play by ear."

That night, Bai Lang and Yang Xiu left by boat from the dock of the industrial park.After reaching the other side of the river, we changed our horses and headed upstream for more than thirty miles, and finally arrived at a pebble beach.

At this time, it was cloudy late at night, and there was no moonlight in the sky, only the river around was noisy, and there was a sense of tranquility combining movement and stillness on the entire pebble beach.

Suddenly, Bailang turned his head and looked towards the northwest of Pebble Beach. In his perception, there were six auras coming from there quickly, all of them were Qi practitioners!

No need to guess, these people must be the origin of Daomen Village.And there are six Qi practitioners here, I'm afraid this is not just a six masters, right?
But Bailang didn't panic, even though besides the two guards who were still warriors, there were only himself and Yang Xiu, two Qi practitioners.

Because Bailang didn't feel anyone with cultivation above the Qi-entraining realm from the six auras that came over.
