Originally, when Emperor Dongchen heard that these people were talented people, he had the same idea as Xiao Haojin.
But think about the Third Brother's personality. If these people were willing to be subordinate to others, he would have recruited them long ago. Why would they wait until now to report to him?
It was obvious that the Third Brother hadn't gotten what he wanted, so he might as well just pretend he didn't know! If he failed to recruit him, it would probably create a grudge, and that would be troublesome.
With this in mind, he instructed his men to pay attention secretly. As long as the other party had no ill intentions, he should ignore them and avoid conflict with them.
night.
Qi Yanxuan called a few people to his tent, looked at the people who were already seated, and directly explained his thoughts.
"Now that we've reached our destination, we can't delay the construction of the city. I've decided to take my uncle and Linzi to choose a place to build the city tonight. Ah Qing, Wen Xuan, Lao Wen, and Chu Han, the rest of you will stay at the camp."
"good!"
Several people also knew that they could not help in building the city. Except for Shen Yanqing who had a reluctant look in his eyes, the others nodded in agreement.
Looking at Shen Yanqing, who was clearly reluctant but didn't say a word, knowing that he didn't want to be separated from her, Qi Yanxuan also felt a little sorry for her man.
Although they were only separated for one night, they had never been apart before, so it was inevitable that they would feel reluctant to part.
Qi Yanxuan leaned close to Shen Yanqing's ear and whispered softly, "Take Jin'en and rest well. I promise to be back before you wake up, okay?"
Shen Yanqing nodded obediently and agreed, and said: "Well, take care of yourself. It's cold now. Wear more clothes and don't catch a cold."
"Okay~"
Listening to her man's instructions, Qi Yanxuan felt a warm current in her heart, and responded with a smile.
Lin Zi looked at the two people being so affectionate with each other and rolled his eyes to the sky.
"That's enough! We're only separated for one night, why are you so reluctant to part? If someone didn't know, they'd think you'd been apart for a year or two!"
"Brother Zimo, are you jealous?"
Shen Wenxuan asked, but in his heart he was gloating. "I told you to always play with Wen Yu instead of me. Now you understand how I feel, don't you? You're upset, right? You deserve it!"
"Ahem...what nonsense are you talking about? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Xuanzi and I are brothers, why would I be jealous?"
Lin Zi was choked by Shen Wenxuan's sudden shocking words, and slapped him on the head with his eyes wide open.
Wen Yu smiled as he watched the two funny guys playing around. Even Lin Zi, the straight man, probably didn't realize that the child he was talking about liked him. Even Shen Wenxuan himself probably didn't realize his feelings.
He felt a little sympathetic towards Shen Wenxuan, but when he thought about how he was also wishful thinking, he suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
Chu Han looked at Wen Yu, who was smiling just now, and suddenly became melancholy for some reason. However, he was not a talkative person, so although he was confused, he did not ask.
Chen Yanshan looked at the two people who were reluctant to leave, and couldn't help but urge them: "Let's go! Just go early and come back early. It's important to do the business first. You can get bored when you come back."
…
The Huai River is located in the middle of the endless grassland. The water divides the entire grassland into two parts. The rolling mountains are like a natural barrier, surrounding the grassland.
The city cannot be located in a low-lying area, because after the drought ends, it will rain for a long time, which may cause floods. If the city is located in a low-lying area, it will be flooded.
The reason they chose to build the city here was because the range of the impending skyfire could not be predicted. The only thing they knew was that the area near the Huai River was safe. Otherwise, with two water-based ability users in their team, they would not have to live near the water.
The three of them searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable place. The terrain nearby was similar. While they were hesitating, Qi Yanxuan saw a series of bare mountains in the upper reaches of the Huai River.
These mountains are located in front of the mountain range. There is no trace of plants growing on the mountains. It seems that they appeared not long ago.
The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. Qi Yanxuan asked the two people beside him: "How about building the city on these mountains?"
Linzi looked at these mountains. They were large enough to accommodate all the disaster victims. They were also a certain distance away from the mountains. He also agreed with Qi Yanxuan's proposal.
"Sure! These mountains are still some distance away from the mountain range, and mutant plants generally don't threaten here. However, getting water is inconvenient, so Wen Yu and Wen Xuan will be busy every day."
Shen Yanshan felt that there was no need to go through so much trouble, and the victims could solve the water problem themselves.
"That's easy. There are all kinds of craftsmen among the disaster victims. We can just find a few carpenters and have them build some waterwheels to divert the water from the Huai River."
Lin Zi snapped his fingers when he heard this. "Oh, that's right! I forgot there was such an old thing as a waterwheel!"
After the three of them discussed it, they decided to build a city in this place, and they started construction immediately.
Shen Yanshan immediately activated his supernatural powers, and high walls rose from the ground, enclosing several mountaintops. Inside the high walls, neatly arranged houses gradually took shape.
When building city walls and houses, forests also assisted in strengthening the houses.
Shen Yanshan's left hand continuously absorbed the supernatural crystal cores, and his right hand continuously controlled the output of supernatural powers. What seemed like a huge project to ordinary people was completed in just one night in the hands of a supernatural person.
There are four city gates in the entire city. The gates were made of materials provided by Qi Yanxuan. Lin Zi controlled his supernatural powers and the gates took shape in an instant. The metal-textured gates were magnificent and majestic.
After the city was built, Qi Yanxuan asked Shen Yanshan to surround the foot of the mountains with city walls. In the future, the areas from the city on the top of the mountain to the city wall at the foot of the mountain can be used for planting for the people.
After we finished dealing with all these, the sky was getting light and the top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, giving us a feeling of being in a fairyland.
Emperor Dongchen’s palace is located at the foot of the mountain opposite Qi Yanxuan’s city.
At this time, the soldiers standing on the city wall were all shocked to see the huge city that appeared overnight, and rushed to report it in panic.
After hearing the news, Emperor Dongchen also came to watch with a group of ministers.
When they saw the majestic and impregnable city, everyone gasped.
The city stands on the top of a series of mountains, surrounded by thick walls. Even at the foot of the mountain, several peaks are enclosed by walls, making it impossible to get a glimpse of the entire city.
Before, Emperor Dongchen had only heard of their magical abilities but had never seen them with his own eyes, so he only believed them to a certain extent. Now facing such a scene, he believed that Haojin was not exaggerating.
These people are definitely not something an ordinary person can contend with. He felt that his previous decision was a wise one. Otherwise, if they could build a city that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people overnight, it would be a piece of cake for him to destroy his palace and kill them.
