Chapter 79: Unexpected

Because the main force was repairing the city wall, with so many people working together, the city wall was repaired quickly.
When Mr. Liu returned with the supplies, most of the city wall had been poured. He glanced outside and nodded again and again.
As expected of Xie Linlang, quick decision is quick.
After he entered the city, he hadn't left for long, but the city in front of him had changed again.
First of all, the half-built black asphalt road, the original dark color, and the strange smell, the people in the city are a bit unacceptable.
But after the repairs were completed, they realized that they were short-sighted. The bluestone roads are good-looking, but the roads are easily damaged. Not to mention troublesome repairs, and later maintenance is also a major project.
And this kind of asphalt road is much better. It is quick to repair and easy to level. It can last for many years after a single repair. The performance is much better than the bluestone road. No wonder Mr. Xie would choose it!
After seeing it, Mr. Liu also felt that Xie Linlang was a real person, indeed, there was nothing wrong with this road except that it was unsightly.
At this time, the buildings on both sides of the road were being rebuilt, and many holes were dug in front of the building to plant trees. In addition, there were workers, carts, etc. everywhere, and the whole city actually looked messy.
But this does not hinder Mr. Liu's imagination, he also wants to know what the city will look like in the end by Xie Linlang.
On the other side, Qin Jue was already on the way back. At this time, someone rushed forward and reported loudly.
"Your Highness! Confirmed! The destination of the rebel Dong Gu is indeed Xiangcheng!"
Qin Jue was taken aback. What he had been worried about during this period still happened, but why? Why would the rebels target Xiangcheng?
The man continued to replied, "It is said that Dong Kui came down to a capable man. That person knew the secret of Xiangcheng. He also said that Xiangcheng has an excellent geographical location and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Dong Kua only needs to take Xiangcheng and retreat there. , You can become the emperor of the earth, and you can slowly expand his influence, so Dong Gu will go south under the attack of the court and go straight to Xiangcheng!"
Qin Jue's hand holding the rein tightened when he heard the words.
He promptly said, "Shan He, you send a pigeon to Xiangcheng to report the letter, and at the same time inform Shan Yun, telling him that the recruits don't need to practice any more and bring them directly to Zhuanjiang City and meet us halfway.
Wang Yong, you stay and protect them and continue on their way, Dong Qi, you take your soldiers and follow me first! "
Several people heard this and quickly stood up and said yes.
After the explanation, Qin Jue stopped staying and took the soldiers away.
Soon, a flying pigeon flew into the sky and headed south.
After that, Qin Jue hardly stopped and was on the road all the time. Seeing that the horse couldn't bear it, Dong Qicai couldn't help but calm down.
"His Royal Highness does not need to be so worried. Master Xie has a long-term vision. He may have investigated the rebels southward and made preparations early. Moreover, Mr. Huang is also there. When the situation is wrong, Mr. Huang will deploy troops to protect him."
Qin Jue is not optimistic, the number of rebels is not easy to count, because not everyone is willing to follow Dong Gu Chang to go south, so they are still not sure about the number of rebels.
If there are few people, it’s okay, thanks to Xie Linlang’s ingenuity and the strength of the Red River Valley, he doesn’t have to worry at all, but if there are a large number of people, the entire Xiangcheng city may not be protected, what about his Linlang? !
That's why he sent all the recruits he recruited to Xiangcheng. Although their individual strength is not strong, the more they are, the safer Xiangcheng is.
He rushed to Xiangcheng in such a hurry, and Xie Linlang also received the news that Huang Lao brought back.
Because the distance is relatively close, the news she gets will be more accurate.
According to the news, Dong Gu’s army should have been around 30,000. Originally it was 50,000, but it was chased by the court all the way, and it must have been wasted. In addition, there are deserters. 30,000 people are willing to follow him south. Not bad.
And she has five hundred officers and soldiers under her, and there is a token given by Qin Jue in her hand, which can mobilize three thousand elite soldiers in the Red River Valley. Those elite soldiers are well-trained. She has a tall and strong city wall here, even if Dong Ku really calls. She is not afraid! After all, it was just a mob.
After Xie Linlang secretly calculated it, he relaxed a lot. Qin Jue was quite interesting. He gave her the token a long time ago, and she was worthy of his support!
After Xie Linlang shared her thoughts with Huang Lao and the others, Huang Lao and the others also felt much more relieved.
They are strong and strong, and they have enough food. Even if they are besieged in an emergency, they don't worry, the group of people outside may not be able to consume them.
Soon, under Xie Linlang's guidance, the repair of Xiangcheng's city wall was completed.
This time the repair, the city wall was moved out a lot, not only covering the oil field in the city, but also expanding the area of ​​the city.
Looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Xie Linlang was very satisfied. If it weren't for the lack of time, technology and materials, she really planned to water it with molten iron to make sure it was indestructible!
However, the food needs a bite, and the city needs to be built step by step. This perfect idea, let's save it for later!
After the city gate was repaired, Xie Linlang asked them to dig all the canals. Diversion of water into the city was also a very important event, not only related to people's livelihood, but also related to safety.
With such intensive construction, this day, Mr. Huang finally sent good news!
It turned out that the rebels stopped. It was not that they stopped on their own initiative, but the floods in the southeast moved south, causing the Wangjiang River to soar and directly blocked their way!
It is not a simple matter to cross the river surface during the flood season. Xie Linlang sighed in secret, thinking that the group of people probably stopped there.
She let people continue to stare at, and she let go and continued to plunge into the workshop. Xiangcheng still has a safety hazard. In the final analysis, it is still not enough money!
As long as there is money, there will be people, there will be cities, everything will be there. Since those rebels can't make it, then she should continue to make money! After all, her time is also very precious.
Just like that, a few days later.
On this day, Xie Linlang was trying to shape the liquid glass and wanted to make a handicraft. As a result, someone ran over in a panic.
"My lord! My lord is not good!"
Xie Linlang was very calm and raised her eyebrows slightly, "What? The rebels went south?"
"No, it's not!"
The man was pale and shouted, "It's the water bandit! It's the water bandit here!"
This made Xie Linlang a little surprised. After all, the water bandits hadn't come to Xiangcheng for robbery for many years. This suddenly came, and it was a little bit beyond her expectation.
But she was not worried. If there were not many people, she could still deal with it, so she asked.
"How many water bandits are there? Where did they come from?"
The man's face was even more ugly, and his staring eyes hesitated and said, "...uncountable, many boats! It is estimated that there are at least five thousand people!!"
