My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

Before the Qin and Chu families were assigned to Beiling Village, there were only eight households left in Beiling Village, including Li Zheng and Bai Hu. Their houses were built close to the entrance of the village, and the fields for farming were also close to the entrance of the village.

The wall is being built on their field, surrounding the entire entrance to Beiling Village.

Qin Junyi and Su Yunwan walked in a hurry and soon reached the wall.

A soldier on guard duty shouted: "Who is this!"

Qin Junyi showed a token, and after the other party checked it, he immediately opened the door and let the two people pass through.

Su Yunwan discovered that this wall was made of adobe slabs just like the house, except that the rammed earth on the piers and corners was also wrapped with green bricks.

To say it is a wall is actually to say it is a city wall is not an exaggeration.

The wall is ten meters high, fifteen meters wide at the base, and twelve meters wide at the top, completely exceeding the proportions regulated by the Zhou Dynasty city walls.

The unfinished parts of the city walls include observation towers, arrow towers, turrets and other buildings.

When releasing, go through the outermost gate first. This door is a thick wooden door made of century-old wood, and the surface is wrapped with iron sheets, copper nails, etc.

After entering the door, there are two lathe door stoppers equipped with wooden spike boards on both sides of the wall hole. Once an enemy breaks through the outer door, they will be greeted by spikes riding on their faces.

There is also a thin trap door at the exit of the wall hole, which can be quickly closed in case of enemy attack.

After passing through the city gate, Su Yunwan looked back at the city wall, feeling extremely complicated.

This scale of city wall was the first of its kind in the Zhou Dynasty.

Some time ago, when she was chatting with Qin Junyi, she talked about the defense of the city wall, and casually mentioned the data on the strongest defense scale of the ancient city wall that she had seen in the last days.

Unexpectedly, Qin Junyi not only kept it in mind, but also discussed the feasibility with Qin Junxian, Qin Mu and several shadow guards.

Unexpectedly, they would use this design in Beiling Village, and in just a few days, most of it would be completed.

Back at the thatched house, Su Yunwan and Qin Junyi took off their facial disguises, and their substitutes Lingqi and Qingyao also returned to their respective places.

The four people moved to the hall, and Zero Seven reported in detail the major events that had happened in recent days.

It turned out that the day after the two left Beiling Village, the counties under Youzhou sent people to learn the techniques of building houses and making kangs.

Many officials leading the team were covetous of the Qin family's manpower and material resources, and asked Zhou Mu for people.

Dong Jian, the state herdsman, was worried that the Qin family was hiding their troops in the forest, so he decided to move the Qin family to a small and barren county east of Youzhou near the sea.

That place was far away from the state capital, with a flat plain, no complicated terrain to hide troops, and bordering the Goryeo Kingdom. It was the best location to prevent the Qin family from causing chaos.

However, the Qin family finally arrived in Youzhou and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build their residence. How could they be like a chess piece and just let Dong Jian move away at his request?

Ling Qi asked people to count all the expenses of settling down and buying a house in recent days, and doubled it, and asked the brothers Qin Mu and Qin Junxian to throw it in front of Dong Jian and ask him to compensate for the losses.

Dong Jian, who had monopolized power, naturally could not accept this debt and ordered them to move out the next day in a tough manner.

After the brothers returned, together with Ling Qi, Qing Xuan, Wu Shaohan and others, they decided to defend Beiling Village and completely separate themselves from the government.

They increased investment in labor and hired tens of thousands of people from the local area and neighboring counties, striving to build an anti-epidemic wall in the shortest possible time.

When the Chu family realized that something was wrong, they used secret operations to buy out all the military land assigned to their family and turn it into private land.

Initially, the location of the city wall was determined on the land newly purchased by the Chu family.

After hearing the news, Dong Jian immediately sent hundreds of soldiers to stop him, but the Qin family's own soldiers drove them back.

At that time, Northern Barbarian invasions and plunder occurred in many places in Youzhou. Dong Jian was restrained by them, so he had to endure the situation for the time being and ordered that the people under his rule were not allowed to be employed by the Qin family.

However, the people in Youzhou are different from the Zhou people in other areas. Most of them are criminals from the imperial court or exiled pariahs. They have no idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor at all and only think about how to survive in this bitter and cold place.

At present, it is a rare opportunity for the Qin family to have enough food and make money, and they don't want to let it go.

Therefore, the people did not obey the orders of Zhou Mu and continued to build the city wall for the Qin family.

Dong Jian killed the chickens to scare the monkeys, and sent officers and soldiers to arrest the family members of the few families in Beiling Village. He also ordered people from other villages who came to work to leave quickly, otherwise they would also arrest their families.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Qin family to let the officers and soldiers take away the people, and together with the residents of the village, they detained all those officers and soldiers.

The people who went to work were so angry that they had the idea of ​​joining the Qin family, especially in several villages near Beiling Village.

As for the residents of Beiling Village, they knelt down and surrendered, willing to sacrifice all their lives, land and property to advance and retreat with the Qin family.

Lingqi happily accepted these families and moved the original fence position to the entrance of the village, including the entire Beiling Village.

As for other people, Ling Qi said that they could move their families here, as long as they were willing to work hard, they would not have to worry about having food to eat.

However, after those people who were aroused by the public anger calmed down, they were reluctant to part with the property they had bought at home, so they took a break for the time being.

Seeing the thick city walls rise from the ground, a sense of security rushed over them. The people who had given up their thoughts were ready to move again, and some people brought up the old talk again.

But this time, Ling Qi did not agree and only waited for his master to come back before making a decision.

Seeing that the city wall of Beiling Village stood tall in a very short period of time, Dong Jian could no longer sit still and mobilized 3,000 troops to launch a large-scale attack, intending to destroy the city wall.

The Qin and Chu families joined forces to resist the foreign enemy Youzhou Army.

The Youzhou army had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. The Qin and Chu families had great fighting capabilities and had the advantage of city wall defense. Although they were not at a disadvantage, they could not win completely. The war fell into a long stalemate.

Wu Shaohan and Qingxuan led all the shadow guards, pretended to be Youzhou soldiers and approached the central army's position, pointing their swords at the opponent's generals.

In the end, the Youzhou Army was defeated after its general was seriously injured by Wu Shaohan, and the war finally ended.

The Youzhou Army, which returned with a disastrous defeat, was unable to organize a second attack within a short period of time. Dong Jian could only watch the Beiling Village wall being completed, and the Qin family completely lost control.

After Qin Junyi heard this, he immediately called Doctor Hua to learn about the situation of the wounded soldiers.

Su Yunwan went back to the room and took out various special wound medicines and handed them to Doctor Hua, and asked him to take the life-saving pills to the seriously injured immediately.

Doctor Hua took the bottles and jars and hurried to deliver the medicine.

Qin Junyi looked at Su Yunwan and said warmly: "Wanwan, please go back to the house and sleep peacefully. I will take care of these things outside."

"Okay, don't forget those people on the road." Su Yunwan stood up and said.

"Don't worry, I remember everything." Qin Junyi sent her back to the dormitory, covered her with a quilt and blew out the candles, and then moved her to the thatched hut where Qin Mu and the others lived next door, so as not to disturb her rest.

Soon, core personnel such as Qin Mu, Qin Junxian, Qing Xuan, Wu Shaohan, Shi Yi, and Shi Er gathered together.

Under the flickering candlelight, various messages came together. Qin Junyi's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he quickly conveyed the instructions one by one...
