Chapter 94: Building a Top-Level Security City (I)
Second Brother Jiang stood at the edge of the city wall, holding up the military flag as the crowd cheered, "We have secured Xuzhou City!"
The sadness in the tone can only be understood by those who have experienced the Battle of Yingzhou.
The Battle of Yingzhou was an indelible pain in the hearts of the soldiers. Their defeat led to the invasion of Yingzhou, a city that had been peaceful for a century, and the people were either killed or forced to flee.
Those who managed to survive are still neither human nor ghost.
"General, we held it!"
"We won't be scolded anymore. We are not cowards."
"With the help of the gods, we will no longer have to endure the hardship of a broken city. Can we drink and eat meat tonight, General?"
A group of soldiers were crying and laughing, with blood on their faces.
With the help of God, they finally won with fewer troops and felt proud of themselves.
But when he turned around, he saw a familiar face on the ground. He was clearly a comrade-in-arms who was still alive this morning, but now he was lying on the dirty floor with a pale face.
Everyone was suddenly speechless.
Uncle Jiang's wound had already been bandaged by the military doctor, and he had been carried down from the tower and placed in a compartment. As for what would happen next, the military doctor couldn't guarantee it.
Father Jiang stood up in a daze.
This time, the Su family army's siege caused some damage to the Jiang family army, and corpses were everywhere.
The initial long-range artillery fire alone killed many people.
"Your Highness, I will send someone to take you back to the Governor's Mansion first."
Father Jiang watched Jiang Qingqing walk out from the corner holding a sniper rifle, and arranged for someone to send her back.
Don't pollute her eyes by cleaning the battlefield.
Jiang Qingqing nodded, knowing what he was thinking. She said softly, "As for the compensation money or supplies, ask Xu Jifeng for them. They'll be paid from the public account."
Xu Jifeng is now in charge of these.
Father Jiang looked back at Jiang Qingqing respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness."
——
On the way back to the governor's mansion, Jiang Qingqing kept fiddling with her watch, but there was no sign of the screen lighting up.
Combined with Fu Zhengnan’s words today, Jiang Qingqing felt vaguely uneasy.
The streets were deserted and the people were hiding. They had not yet heard the news of the victory.
The carriage was stopped by Xiao Congyan who had returned.
Xiao Congyan used his speed ability to flash into the carriage. Seeing Jiang Qingqing fiddling with the watch, his eyes lit up and he wanted to grab it.
Jiang Qingqing withdrew her hand quickly.
"You are sick!"
This was the first time Jiang Qingqing was so annoyed with someone!
The driver outside had been knocked unconscious by him.
Xiao Congyan sat lazily on the side of the carriage, waving a jade-bone fan. She was not in a hurry: "Let me see. Do you, a little princess, know how to use such high technology?"
Jiang Qingqing felt that he was probably laughing at her.
I just wanted to stand up, lift the car curtain and get out. If I can't provoke her, can I not hide from her?
“Hey hey——”
Xiao Congyan blocked her way with the fan in his hand.
"Don't go! I'm here today for a serious matter. What's with the high temperatures mentioned in your secret letter? Are the ancient times also about to enter the apocalypse?"
When he returned from the battlefield, he felt something was not right.
"Do you know any news?"
Xiao Congyan looked up and down at Jiang Qingqing in front of him, and his intuition told him that Jiang Qingqing must know something.
During the apocalypse, he was unable to stock up on supplies, and he loved eating takeout.
There was no food left at home and the situation was extremely dire.
If he were given another chance, he would fill his house, even the space under his bed, with food, clothes and daily necessities, and live leisurely for a few months before leaving.
Jiang Qingqing glanced at him and said, "You've read the secret letter and you're still asking me, just as it says."
Xiao Congyan looked at Jiang Qingqing's attitude of not wanting to talk to him more and touched his face.
He doesn't look that bad, does he?
I was a very popular figure in the base at that time, so why does Jiang Qingqing despise me so much?
"You think I'm not handsome?"
Xiao Congyan spoke without thinking.
Jiang Qingqing: ...
“Not handsome.”
Anyway, she doesn't like this kind of bad-looking guy.
After saying that, she sat back in her original seat. Anyway, the driver had fainted, and with such a persistent guy around, she probably wouldn't be able to go back for a while.
Her words "not handsome" silenced the once extremely confident Xiao Congyan.
"Okay, you have eye problems. Speaking of which, the high temperature is coming. What are your countermeasures?"
Xiao Congyan brought the topic back to the high temperature.
Jiang Qingqing glanced at him dimly, "Why? You want to cooperate with us?"
Xiao Congyan actually had this plan, because when he was strolling in Xuzhou City just now, he saw several large excavators.
Xiao Congyan moved closer to Jiang Qingqing and said flatteringly, "Give us a few of those machines. I'll buy them from you."
When it comes to doing business, Jiang Qingqing is happy to speak.
Thought for a while.
Puzzled, he asked, "What are you offering to buy? We just want supplies."
Hearing her words, Xiao Congyan exclaimed, "You don't want the gold anymore? This is not like you."
Jiang Qingqing curled her lips.
Gold also needs to be used at certain times, for fear that one day you may suddenly lose contact with the gods.
Then the supply of materials to Xuzhou will be cut off.
Now that we have the opportunity to purchase things from Tianqi Country, we should definitely take as much as possible. "Do you want it? But I'm not sure if I can still get it."
Now the watch doesn’t work and the gods don’t respond when I call them.
It's quite suspenseful.
"Of course!"
Xiao Congyan agreed immediately and let Jiang Qingqing talk about the supplies.
Jiang Qingqing nodded, took out a walkie-talkie from the drawer under the car seat, handed it to Xiao Congyan, and began to drive people away.
"Then go ahead. I'll let you know if there's any news."
Xiao Congyan held the walkie-talkie blankly, "!!!"
Do you have all this stuff?
"What's the channel number? That's incredible! How do you have everything? Jiang Qingqing, you must have traveled through time!"
Xiao Congyan seemed to have discovered the truth.
Jiang Qingqing frowned as she saw him yelling.
"What channel? I don't understand."
These things were given by the gods a few days ago, but there have been so many unexpected events recently that they haven't been taught how to use them yet.
It is said that long-distance communication is possible.
Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Xiao Congyan didn't seem to be pretending, and asked uncertainly, "Don't you know what this is? Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?"
Jiang Qingqing: "Are these things very valuable?"
Are you so surprised?
Xiao Congyan was now certain that she really didn't understand.
He took the initiative and took out another one from the drawer, adjusted the channel and adjusted it.
"Hey, hey—"
Xiao Congyan's voice actually came from another intercom. Jiang Qingqing was a little stunned. "You can use this? Oh, you are also a genius..."
Jiang Qingqing realized it later.
Suddenly I forgot that Xiao Congyan could control thunder and lightning.
Maybe it was because his lightning was not as powerful as Fu Zhengnan's, so he subconsciously ignored it.
Xiao Congyan looked at Jiang Qingqing's surprised expression, and felt itchy in his heart. He really wanted to pinch her.
"Yes, of course I am God."
In front of you weak ancients, he is as powerful as can be. But I don’t know what this high temperature will bring?
Will there be people with special abilities appear?
"Jiang Qingqing, what else do you know about this natural disaster?"
Xiao Congyan looked into Jiang Qingqing's eyes and asked seriously.
