Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 314 We are in the same boat and we should help each other

White Key City in winter is surprisingly cold even in the vast northern plains of Yueyang, so the cold protection measures in the city are also particularly in place. As the Dinghuang Tower stands in the middle of the city, it naturally takes full consideration of the possibility of cold wave erosion. For this reason, the Northern Territory Business Group spared no effort to install flints in the tower to prevent cold. Even if you stand on the top of the open-air tower, you will feel warm...

But at this moment, the entire tower's flint could not withstand the severe cold caused by Lu Youyou's words.

The silence in front of the mirror lasted for a while, and then He Yuan tried his best to smile: "Deer, Lord of the Deer Kingdom, you are joking..."

Lu Youyou interrupted: "I'm not kidding. Counting from today, within three years, a hundred such Dinghuang towers should be erected on the Northern Plains. In this way, when the Immortal Alliance moves westward, Yueyang will not have No worries.”

Heyuan hesitated several times and finally could only smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, the previous plan of the Immortal Alliance only requested fifty seats."

"And how much have you actually accomplished?"

"Here, there are thirty-four towers that have been built so far. It's just the quality of those towers..."

Lu Youyou added: "When the Immortal Alliance made previous plans, it was assumed that the Wasteland did not have the ability to penetrate from Yueyang to Zhuwang. Now that the Wasteland side has clearly shown stronger power, the Immortal Alliance will naturally strengthen its deployment, and Yue Yue will The Yangtze River Company has not completed its original planning requirements. Shouldn't it be doubled to make up for it? What's more, one hundred Dinghuang high towers are only the most basic requirements. I remember what Wang Luo wrote in his report, He Yuan, the deputy consul of the Northern Territory Merchant Group , is a talented person with great ambitions and is devoted to the public. Your ideal is to erect a hundred towers on the northern plains, isn't it?"

He Yuan whispered: "I was talking about twenty years..."

"Then wouldn't it be better if it could be completed in three years?"

Heyuan quickly explained: "Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to, it's actually that such a task is completely beyond the capabilities of the Northern Territory Business Group..."

Lu Youyou said: "Really? Then try to improve your abilities. Otherwise, when the famine comes, you won't find anyone to explain it."

He Yuan was still waiting to talk, but Lu Youyou had no interest in accompanying him at all. She turned her gaze to Wang Luo, and her voice was obviously colder: "Master Wang Shan, I still entrust you to supervise and handle this matter. Can you do this in such a way?" In a short period of time, I have become like a fish in water in Yueyang, and I have discovered talents like Consul He. I think I will be able to work in tower construction with ease."

After saying that, Lu Youyou took a step forward and disappeared without a trace. Mo Yu, who was following her, only cast a rather gloating look at Wang Luo, then followed Lu Youyou closely. The footsteps left quickly.

On the top of the tower, only a group of He family members were left, looking at each other in disbelief, while Wang Luo let out a long sigh.

Heyuan sighed when he heard it, and an evil fire suddenly surged up in his heart. He couldn't help but said: "Master Wangshan, is this inappropriate!?"

Wang Luo said: "It is indeed inappropriate. I am at fault for this matter, and I should indeed compensate you."

After saying that, he took the initiative to salute He Yuan with his hands, but He Yuan's evil fire suddenly stagnated in his chest, making him even more depressed.

The deputy consul of the Northern Territory Business Group, after all, had the palace of a superior. He suppressed countless doubts in his heart and asked in a low voice: "Master Wang Shan, what is going on? Why does the king suddenly come to visit, and... …And, with all due respect, being so unreasonable?”

Wang Luo smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story..."

"It doesn't matter, Shengxue Tower, Jian Yue Pavilion... The He family still has good wine and food here, and even the beauties will be named by you! We can still listen to your stories!"

Wang Luo waved his hand: "You don't have to go far, let's talk here. Besides, I can't go back to those luxurious places for the time being. In fact, I have moved out of the Star Picking Hall for two days."

"Okay, what you say, I'm all ears!" Wang Luo then explained: "The Lord of the Deer Kingdom came to divide the public and private roads. Yu Gong, she is indeed dissatisfied with the progress of Yueyang's deforestation, and the report I gave her, Although the current achievements have been emphasized, they are still far behind the requirements of the king, so she is here to personally supervise the battle."

These words puzzled He Yuan: "Master Wangshan, a few days ago, with the help of Mo Lijing's magical power, you and General Huang have uprooted the desolate demons lurking around you. No other hidden dangers can be seen for the time being. Lu Is there anything else the king is dissatisfied with?"

Wang Luo sighed: "This matter should have been kept secret, but in this situation, at least I can say a few words to you, Consul He, but as for the others..."

Heyuan then made a gesture, and the rest of the people who stayed on the top of the tower left immediately.

"Okay, to put it simply, there are fundamental loopholes in Yueyang's Desolation Barrier. Just killing a few desolate creatures is simply treating the symptoms but not the root cause. To cure the root cause, what Lord Lu said is a hundred A tall tower is really just an entry requirement.”

Heyuan was in disbelief when he heard this: "The root loophole? Is this... is Shanzhu Wang serious?"

"This kind of thing, even if the Lord of the Deer Kingdom comes, he won't make a joke, and he will naturally take it seriously. In fact, as a Yueyang person, you should also understand that if there is no problem with the Dinghuang barrier, why would White Key City be regarded as Dinghuang City? But it was riddled with holes in the wilderness? General Huang and I were the wild demons captured from your mansion a few days ago. You and the wild demon live next to each other, can you really sleep peacefully? So to a certain extent, the deer The request of the king is not an exaggeration. You really need to step up the project. Otherwise, if a disaster does occur, you will be the first to bear the brunt. You cannot expect people to wish you well every time to prevent disasters for you."

Heyuan digested it for a long time before saying: "If this is true, this is a huge project at the level of Yueyang and even the Immortal Alliance. The king should discuss this matter with Lord Butian. Even if he harshly criticizes the Northern Territory Business Group, it will not help... …”

Wang Luo said: "So she just hammered out a few words today and did not give you a death order. There will naturally be many meetings at the level of the king in the future, but they have little to do with us."

He Yuan sighed: "Knocking? The beating of Lord Lu was really thrilling. My soul almost burst at that time... So, when the Lord came to visit, Yu Gong wanted to personally supervise the battle and beat; what was Yu Private's purpose? ?”

Wang Luo smiled bitterly: "Why else? Of course it's because I was received so well by you in White Key City, and you were praised so well in the report, so she's not satisfied with me!"

"?" Heyuan opened his mouth, and finally opened his mouth.

Wang Luo added: "Actually, we can talk a little more clearly in private. She sent me to be the leader of this team. She didn't expect me to carry out very effective work here and bring down the wasteland lurking around White Key City. It's enough to catch the devil. Further issues related to city management are not my turn to take responsibility. I am not humble. It has only been half a year since I woke up from Lingshan, and I still have a little understanding of many things in the new world. Let me go to the front Killing enemies, fixing wilderness and exorcising evil spirits is all that matters. No matter how complicated the job is, I am really not good at it. So, come here to connect with local wealthy families like you, experience the local customs, and then personally kill a few wild demons. It’s okay for me to return to the imperial court. General Huang’s situation is similar to mine. Lord Yulong sent him here half the time as a vacation.”

Heyuan nodded silently, feeling that these words were indeed reasonable.

"As for me, in fact, my initial expectation was the same. During this period, I just asked you to build an extra high tower, which is a way for me to show my personal subjective initiative. After all, the boss asked you to do ten points, and you can do twelve points, wouldn't it? Better? But unfortunately, this and other trivial matters reached her ears, and things began to ferment and sour."

He Yuan was puzzled: "Something else?"

"The fact that I competed with those two female artists on acting skills seems to have made Lord Lu very angry."

"..."

"So now you and I are in the same boat, and we should work together to overcome the difficulties together!"

"I……"
