On the Seven Towers

The atmosphere in the conference room was as solemn as a quagmire, making people trapped in it unable to breathe.

An old man wearing glasses held the paper in his hand trembling slightly, wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief and asked: "Is this the only letter?"

Zhou Xiaoren, the intelligence team leader who was sitting not far away from him, gave a wry smile and said: "I have also obtained some evidence from the caravan. The possibility of an attack by horse thieves is extremely high."

"Well, I have always said that this kind of feudal society is full of disadvantages and disadvantages!" Li Mingde is the head of the education team and an old professor who has taught and educated people all his life, but he still lost his composure in front of this letter. He threw the letter on the table, clapped his palms and said, "The lords don't care about the hardships of the common people! Horse thieves are rampant, but the government doesn't care! What's the use of this king?"

"It has been so many days since we fell from the sky, and no one has taken care of us. Even the earl lord here has disappeared. We cannot use the common sense of our time to understand this ancient world." The person who spoke was logistics. Team leader Bai Yicheng.

"I have been reading the history of the feudal era in Europe recently. You don't have to count on the king. In a country with many princes, it is good if the king's decrees can be sent out of the royal territory. If you have the time, it is better to spend some money to ask the surrounding princes to send troops. ." Chang Lin wrote a few strokes in his notebook and asked, "Team Leader Zhou, does the intelligence department have detailed information on the thieves' movements?"

"This... we are still working hard. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now we need people, money and connections. It doesn't matter. We have to do it step by step." Zhou Xiaoren looked at the astonishing number on the letter again, " But we will try our best to find out the news. After all, there are more than two thousand horse thieves, so there will be some rumors. "

Mentioning this number, everyone had ugly expressions. Then someone asked Wang Jiyuan whether he could fight. Wang Jiyuan looked calm, but the words he said made people feel like they were falling into an ice cave: "If we were outside this door, I would say that we have Advanced weapons can defeat these backward enemies as long as they have the courage. But here I can only say that there is insufficient intelligence to judge."

"This, this is too unreliable. Should we make more preparations? On the one hand, find someone to negotiate with the horse thieves, which will probably cause some blood. On the other hand, we should also consider a retreat route. In case of an attack But is there anywhere left to go?" This is Chu Ying, the business team leader. He was already thin, but now his face was ashen, just like Wu Chang in the TV movie.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone objected loudly: "We must not negotiate! Negotiating with horse thieves is just inviting wolves into the house. If you provoke these maggots with bones, you will be extorted by them every day from now on. Don't even think about living in peace. Let other forces Anyone can come up and step on us if we see such cowards!"

Chu Ying glanced at it and found that it was Zhang Sicheng, who was usually silent. This guy usually rarely spoke to the committee except silently looking for minerals. Today, for some reason, he was like a chicken. He stood up and pointed at Zhang Sicheng and said, "Don't take over everything here. Because of your words, so many teachers and students will fight against the thieves."

Zhang Sicheng laughed angrily, "Hey, I have fought with goblins, and I know what it's like to fight! But why are we in this world? Isn't it just to survive? Not only do I fight for my life, but you also have to fight. !”

"You still think you are reckless and impulsive and have killed not enough people? Didn't Professor Lin and the others get killed last time because of your command error?"

Zhang Sicheng's face turned red. This was his biggest pain point. He was depressed for a long time before he slowly figured out the incident. Even his psyche had changed. Now it was treated as a scar and it was suddenly lifted up. The sleeves just want to fight. Fortunately, Wang Jiyuan next to him grabbed him.

"Okay, okay. Team Leader Chu was excited and spoke a little arbitrarily. Teacher Zhang, don't worry too much. Everyone recognizes your actions. The most important thing now is to return to the problem at hand, how to deal with it. Horse thief. We still have to discuss a practical and effective way." Chang Lin came out to smooth things over.

"I don't agree with negotiations and preparing a retreat. If there was still a fight, once these two things are done, there is really no hope." Wang Jiyuan said.

Chu Ying snorted and sat down, obviously unconvinced. The others whispered among themselves, and they must not all agree with Wang Jiyuan's words. The conference room suddenly fell into a buzzing sound.

At this time Guo Qian spoke, "Everyone is thinking about the problem of dealing with horse thieves this time. But I feel that the problem with horse thieves is not the horse thieves themselves. It lies with us."

People in the conference room became quiet, listening to what Guo Qian was selling.

"When we came to this world, we have actually been running around trying to survive. We have been busy for more than two months, and we have achieved a lot. But no one has an idea, or a route. How on earth are we going to survive? On what basis? How can we survive?”

Guo Qian looked at everyone present. Some were confused, some were thoughtful, and some looked impatient.

"There are many ways to survive. For example, we join them, mix among them, and become one of them. This is simple and convenient, and soon we will become one with them. But are you willing?"

"Of course I don't want to. We have mastered so many different technologies, and we still messed up like that. It's better to just die." The person who spoke was Qiu Wenhan, the leader of the technology team. The others also nodded. How could they, who were used to modern conveniences, integrate into that primitive life so simply?

"Or should we be an independent existence, or let the people around us depend on us, and then transform them and create our own era?"

"That's right." Chang Lin nodded in agreement.

"Then this school and these talents are our greatest reliance." Guo Qian looked at Chu Ying and said, "If we retreat, we have nowhere to retreat. If we withdraw from the school, we will lose the opportunity to transform this era. There is nothing to talk about. We have been warned in advance, so we can make preparations early and wait for the opportunity. Our school has high buildings and walls, which are high above, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We have enough personnel, and most of them have received military training. The villagers around us will surely support us, and there are even mysterious messengers who are messing up behind the horse thieves. In fact, it can be said that we have the right time, right place, and right people. If we can't get through the horse thieves, how can we face greater challenges? There is no need to talk about independence. I think Team Leader Wang should know our only choice."

"Yes. Fight with your back to the water, there is still a chance of victory." Wang Jiyuan answered happily.

"So, there is not much to discuss about this matter. It is not a question of whether to fight or not, but a question of how to fight. In a critical moment, we only need one idea and one plan."

"Principal Guo, I haven't asked so many people in the school for their opinions yet..." Chu Ying said stiffly.

"Everyone believes in us and agrees that we have formed this committee. We must take our own responsibilities. Now, as the chairman of the committee, I require all departments to prepare for the war with all their strength. Does anyone object?" Guo Qian stood up, his tall figure was like a flag, giving people pressure and encouragement.

The meeting hall was silent, but soon Wang Jiyuan's voice broke the silence: "Guarantee to complete the task."

"Our geological team will obey the committee's dispatch. Wherever we are needed, we will go!" Then it was Zhang Sicheng.

"The agricultural team will prepare enough food. If other departments have any needs, you can tell me." Chang Lin said.

Then, the voices of other people sounded one by one, and they all expressed their willingness to try their best to arrange the work of their own department.

Chu Ying clenched his fist and looked at Chang Lin angrily. Seeing that the other party shook his head at him, he had to stop.

————————————————————————————

Ji Yijun's injury has healed a lot. Lying in bed for the past two days has exhausted his patience. He ignored the nurse's dissuasion and practiced boxing in the ward. This boxing was much slower than usual, sluggish and unfamiliar, as if he was surrounded by sea water instead of air. But it was in this process that he could fully experience the strange power in his body. After a few days of exploration, he was almost certain that this was Dou Qi. His Dou Qi was very special, without obvious halo, no elemental attributes, but it was very condensed and very helpful for the recovery of the body.

He was just finishing a White Crane Spreading Wings when the door opened.

At a glance, Li Jia came again. In her hand was a basket with some local fruits. The world has changed, but some customs cannot change.

Ji Yijun put away his airs and joked, "Only a lazy person like you has time to come and see me. When you heard that the bandits were coming, the outside world was in chaos, right? I heard from the nurse that you can be choked to death by the smell of gunpowder if you breathe in outside now, and the school can be set on fire if you light a cigarette."

Li Jia looked a little anxious: "The bandits are coming, it's no joke. People's hearts are unstable now, and there are people saying weird things. Besides, the enemies of the bandits can beat you down, which means there are similar masters among the bandits."

"Tsk, this is different now. For a moment, if there is another fight now, I am not afraid of her. I have already mastered some tips, and I am almost able to master them. "Ji Yijun made a cloud hand gesture, "You will see how I teach the horse thieves a lesson when the time comes. But you, shouldn't you go to the town to recruit militia?"

"I came to say goodbye. I was sent to the nearby territory to ask for reinforcements. It is the territory of Viscount Ruiz, who is closest to us. I heard that he has quite a lot of military force under his command."

"Why would they send you? Aren't you just a shopkeeper?" Ji Yijun asked curiously.

"Xiao Chen, Luo Ling are on business, Zhang Hong is missing, most of these backbones of the foreign affairs team have important work to do, and there is only one girl named Du Mei who can be sent. They are worried that the girl can't show up, so they let our business team send someone to assist. After all, I have lived in the town for a long time and have the most contact with the locals. So, it becomes me and her who go."

"Oh, what a good job, not only can I be responsible for it alone, but also... a man and a woman, traveling together, there is hope, Li Jia!"

"Go away, I'm not a pervert like you, I'm worried about this. Unlike you, you have a confidante to accompany you every day." Li Jia waved at Ji Yijun like chasing away flies, and said, "Let's go." Then he pushed the door and left.

"Hey! You better be careful. I'm still counting on you to set up a chain supermarket together." Ji Yijun yelled out the door.

"Just take care of yourself, don't be stubborn!" Li Jia's voice was getting farther and farther away with the footsteps.

Ji Yijun came to the window and saw people busy carrying materials to build shelters and piling up fortifications. He had no worries or fears in his heart, but was eager to try.

A smile appeared on his face, "This is my world."
