Daming prepares the emperor

Ju Fei immediately cut it very loudly and disdainfully.

Following this sound, the eyes of the other monsters looking at Changsun Wanguan became a little strange.

Town demon?Where is the demon in the town, which demon?

The eldest grandson Wanguan smiled awkwardly, and stood back silently, very tactfully.

Zhu Biao opened his mouth to rescue him, and said, "The main reason for calling everyone here today is to ask everyone for a favor."

After hearing this, all the monsters put away their emotions and volunteered, saying that they can help no matter what kind of help, and it doesn't matter how much they help.

Zhu Biao took out a roll of map from his sleeve, spread it flat on the ground, picked up two stones to press it, pointed to Jiangdong Bridge and said: "Look, everyone, this bridge on the Qinhuai River is originally made of wood. Now it needs to be replaced with a stone bridge, and the construction can only be started at night, and the time limit is one night, so what is the difficulty?"

All the monsters came together one after another, formed a circle to carefully observe the geographical situation near Jiangdong Bridge, looked at each other a few times, and got the bottom line in their hearts.

Liu Laoxu is a mouse, born to be good at digging holes and opening roads, and bridge repairing is also related to these things. In addition, he has lived in the city for a long time and has seen many craftsmen work, so he is confident, and he is the first to say: "My lord, we wait for you With the ability of the monster race, it is not difficult to build a bridge, but firstly, there is no blueprint, so I don’t know how to start, and secondly, it is more difficult to find stone materials.”

"The drawings are in the care of the grandson, don't worry."

Changsun Wanguan bowed immediately, expressing that he had heard the order.

Ju Fei said: "If you want stones, you can go to Zhongshan to get them. Where I live, stones are easy to pick, and the quality is good. If I grab them, they won't break easily."

The cat scratching board of the century-old cat demon is indeed of guaranteed quality.

"That's good. You can take Liu Laoxu to pick the stones. It costs a penny. Is there any problem?"

Ju Fei originally wanted to act coquettishly with Zhu Biao, saying that he would be hungry if he and Liu Laoxu acted together, and wanted to change someone else, and Changsun Wanguan would be very good - so he could take the opportunity to retaliate, but when he heard that he had a penny, he didn't have anything Having said that, he immediately smiled and nodded violently, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Liu Laoxu was taken aback by its violent movements, and felt horrified after thinking about it. What kind of terrible method was it to make a greedy and treacherous cat demon so humble?

The human race is really scary.

Wu Pinwei was calm and calm, more careful, and watched for a little longer, and finally said: "Brother, you can dig mountains and break rocks, and Ning Wanneng and I will transport them there."

Carp vomited a bubble and was in a daze. He didn't quite understand what everyone was talking about, but he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Huang Xiuzhu... Huang Xiuzhu didn't come?" Zhu Biao realized that the weasel was not here.

Mr. Liu raised a paw and reported: "My lord, Mr. Huang has gone on a long journey. The villain saw Mr. Zhu, and he said that Hao Sun and these monsters can be lent to us."

"Bamboo shoots?"

What can bamboo shoots do?

Zhu Biao didn't ask, but Liu Laoxu knew what he meant, and said: "Although the bamboo shoots are bamboo shoots, they can also give birth to bamboo. With their help, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

"That's good, you all get to know each other. There will also be Taoist monks at the Demon Town to help. Grandson, you will be responsible for taking people to Jiangdong Bridge the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

"One night, one night, before dawn, I will turn that bridge into stone."

This small meeting ended here. For these words, the entire demon world of Yingtian City was mobilized. Although it was invisible on the surface, it was turbulent secretly.

Tens of thousands of Rats moved the materials and used the method of storage to transport the stones to the outside of the city in batches.And in the river, no matter whether it was big fish or small fish, or even shrimps and snails, no matter if they were enlightened or not, they all joined the torrent, headed vigorously to the canyon behind Zhongshan Mountain, and followed Shen Hai to hit the mountain to fetch rocks.

Countless monsters acted and voluntarily served the will of a human being. The last time was in ancient times.

------

The past few days can be regarded as exhausting Zhu Biao.

For the first time, he knew that stones are not easy to find, and there is still a lot of attention to it-it is not easy to break if it is too big, it is just a joke if it is too small, and it is not good if it is too soft or too hard.What's more, because it has been grown in the dark for too long, it is not easy to connect with the pure mana, and it can't be used if it is taken out.

Zhu Biao went out at night every day, fell asleep as soon as he came back, and went out of the city along the Qinhuai River at night, and finally prepared things before the battle.

As for Chen Youliang's spies, they have been focusing on the generals recently and have no time to pay attention to a child, even if this child is Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son.Besides, Zhu Biao's actions were secretive enough that they would not easily be discovered by them.

Regarding the situation in Longwan, the spies naturally reported it to Chen Youliang as usual.

The action is tonight.

At noon tomorrow, Chen Youliang's fleet will arrive.

Zhu Yuanzhang has not lived in the mansion since the day before yesterday, and moved to the barracks early, so as to keep abreast of the movements of various ministries, arrange manpower, and prevent people from reporting and defecting.

He entrusted his wife and son with all the affairs in the commander's mansion.

Ma Xiuying got up early in the morning, folded the quilt and clothes, went out and sat in the rattan chair in the courtyard, fanning gently with a fan.

She is not actually hot, but the secret anxious worry in her heart needs a fan.Zhu Yuanzhang has fought many battles, large and small, over the years, and this is the first such dangerous one. Chen Youliang's power is almost four times his, so how can Ma Xiuying not be worried.

What's more, Yingtian City is at the back of this battlefield. Comrade Zhu's foundation is all accumulated here. If he loses, it will be as difficult as going to the sky to make a comeback.

But no matter what, with Ma Xiuying suppressing and Zhu Biao restraining, the life in the yard has not changed much.

Ying Tiancheng has already changed.

The whole city, including its people, knew that there was going to be a war.

The streets and alleys are all empty.

Shops, vegetable markets, taverns, brothels, even gambling houses and rice markets were closed, and every household took out water tanks, filled them with stones and placed them at the door.

If possible, store some food and water, such as pickled vegetables and bacon, or pancakes and other durable foods.Those who have no conditions have to prepare ropes so that they can be used to tighten the waists of the whole family.

On the day the city was destroyed, most of the generals would allow their soldiers to massacre, plunder, and humiliate their wives and daughters. It is true that a very small number of generals would not allow this, but the probability is too small, how dare the common people dare to bet.

In fact, if feasible, they would prefer to dig a tunnel to the other side of the world.

The commander's mansion wanted to do the same, but was stopped by Ma Xiuying.If Chen Youliang's army really attacked, they would definitely drive straight in and go straight to the commander's mansion. It is not a good idea to block the door, it is correct to leave the door open and escape.

At the end of the sentence, even if Zhu Yuanzhang died in battle, there is still Zhu Biao who wants to be supported here, and the hearts of the people will not disperse.

Ma Xiuying leaned back on the chair, put down the round fan in her hand, thought for a while, and called Li Li.

"Bring Biao'er to me, don't let him run around."

Li Li nodded, went to Zhu Biao's study, and came back soon, but there was no one else around.

"what happened?"

Li Li replied in a panic: "Young master has gone out!"

The long street is empty and spacious.Two horses galloped past, leaving a series of crisp hooves on the stone road.

Zhu Biao rode on the horse and followed Wu Ce.

Wu Ce was dressed in a black outfit, holding a long whip in his hand, and lowered his body on the horse's back. His posture was quite vigorous and graceful, like a black panther.As for Zhu Biao, he is still young, so he can't say whether he is beautiful or not. He is not in a mess after all, and there is nothing wrong with boasting that he is a heroic boy.

What the two of them were going to at this time was the place that the Arch Guard Division had inquired about a long time ago.Chen Youliang had a total of eight spies in Yingtian. In fact, Wu Ce had secretly sent people to arrest seven of them. There was only one person left, who was usually responsible for releasing the last message.

So he was also the only one left behind.

This person should be taken seriously, and when he completes the task, take him down immediately, Chen Youliang's sources of information will be completely cut off, and he will never be able to notice anything about Yingtian's situation.

"Call-"

Wu Ce tightened the reins, quickly turned over and got off the horse, and Zhu Biao just got off the horse, so he supported Zhu Biao with one hand and tied the two horses to the tree.

"In the alley, the third last door." Wu Ce said, "He married into the local Qi family. Just in case, his wife and his wife's parents must be taken back."

"How is it? Are you ready, son?"

Zhu Biao touched the dagger in his arms and nodded, a little excited and nervous.

His martial arts and techniques have passed the test, but he still has very little actual combat experience. When he comes out today, he has both Comrade Zhu's meaning and Liu Ji's meaning.

The alley was very narrow, and the stone slabs paving the road inside were cracked, falling to pieces, like a big spider web, and there were some small stones everywhere.

When he walked to the middle of the alley, Zhu Biao saw a big locust tree growing there, with luxuriant branches and leaves, casting a lot of thick shade.

Fortunately, every household is hiding now. Otherwise, it is estimated that there will be many old people chatting in the shade, and it will be easy to leak information and affect their arrest.

Wu Ce walked in front and gestured to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao said he received it, changed places with Wu Ce, and walked to the front.

He specially changed into some ordinary clothes today, and he is very confident in himself.

The people living in this alley are not very wealthy. The Qi family has lived in Yingtian for generations. This generation makes a living by selling oil. The old couple only had one daughter in their whole life, so they wanted to recruit a son-in-law , just happened to be discovered by Chen Youliang's spies, came forward on his own initiative, and smoothly integrated into the people of Yingtian City.

Before Wu Ce came, he had made sufficient preparations. If he wanted to bring the young master to exercise, he couldn't be so hasty. It seemed that there were only the two of them here, but in fact, the whole alley was covered with dumplings, and there were at least 30 people ambushing in the dark.

Some dilapidated wooden doors were knocked.

In the courtyard, the spy happened to be walking up and down distractedly nearby, and as soon as he heard the sound, he quietly walked over with his hands behind his back, and his heart began to pound at the same time.

Through the crack of the door, he saw a child standing at the door, banging on the door and crying, "Mother, are you there? Mother, my grandfather is sick, and he wants me to come to you."

Goddamn?

Wang Ming began to wonder, godmother, when did that mother-in-law accept a godson?Or is this a relative of the Qi family?Or is it a mistake?

No, special treatment in special times, even a child can't let go of his vigilance.

While he was in doubt, Zhu Biao knocked on the door even louder, and began to cry loudly after displaying his acting skills all his life. Wu Ce, who was hiding behind the wall not far away, felt a little bit in his heart, thinking that the young master was going to suffer. Aggrieved, almost rushed out.

"Godmother, you can't just leave your life alone. I think back then, it was my grandfather who lent food to your family, so you weren't sold. You can't be ungrateful!"

All of a sudden, Zhu Biao's cries wafted over the entire alleyway.

This is just great.Most people love to listen to stories and gossip.Although the other houses in the alley didn't open their doors, they all kept their ears high. Those who liked to watch the excitement all the time wanted to squeeze their eyes out through the cracks in the doors.

The old man in the yard couldn't sit still anymore. He was so old that he was most afraid of losing face and became the laughing stock of neighbors and neighbors after dinner. He hurriedly said: "Ming, bring that child in first. Bring it in and talk about it."

His wife, a woman in her 40s, immediately rolled her eyes at him: "What did you bring in here, who knows where he came from as a beggar, do you know him? You can drive him away."

The Qi family's daughter was also puzzled, she didn't remember what godson she had adopted, but it was true that she was almost sold because of the famine when she was young.

Thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt that the children outside might have really helped her, otherwise - the war is coming soon, who would let the children come out to lie?

So she also wanted her husband to open the door, and to take a look at the child first.

Wang Ming's ears hurt from the quarrel of the three people. At the same time, he was also afraid of attracting attention and being noticed by the neighbors. He quickly chose a more favorable word to resolve the matter, and agreed: "Mom, I'll tell him to go."

No matter what they thought, the door opened anyway, and as soon as it opened, Wu Ce squeezed in, protecting Zhu Biao behind him.

Except for Zhu Biao, no one saw how he got here.

With his martial arts, when he used lightness kung fu, his movement was already like a gust of wind.

As soon as Wu Ce entered the door, he immediately grabbed Wang Ming's arm, twisted him around, pressed him hard to the ground, and then stepped on his back, making him unable to move.

Before Qi Shi could yell out, a pair of hands covered his mouth.

It turned out that when Wu Ce made a move, many people jumped from the eaves and controlled all the population of the Qi family.

The moment Zhu Biao opened the door, his expression changed, calm as a lake, as if he was not the one who cried loudly just now.

The skills of crying as soon as you say it and stopping as soon as you say it, were honed because of Comrade Zhu.Don't look at the loudness of his crying, in fact, it's just thunder and no rain, not a single tear.

After all, the louder the voice, the more likely it is to attract Ma Xiuying's attention. If she joins the battlefield, Zhu Yuanzhang will have no choice but to die.

But this method has not been used a few times. After all, Comrade Zhu has only hit Zhu Biao half of the time, and Zhu Biao is still very good.

Wu Ce lifted him up from the ground, kicked him on his knees, pushed him down to his knees, and said with a smile, "My lord, he released the pigeons a quarter of an hour ago. See if there are any more pigeons." To be sure?"

"Um……"

Zhu Biao stared at Wang Ming for a long time, then reached out to touch his chest, his attention seemed to be on his upper body, but suddenly he stepped on something under his feet.

A paper man the size of a palm ran out along Wang Ming's trousers at some point, and was struggling under Zhu Biao's feet.

This piece of paper figurine was pale and pale, with only the head and limbs cut out, flat and small, struggling like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, scratching the ground and crawling forward, very creepy.

If you don't step on it hard, people will be blown away.

Zhu Biao said to the line of people in black in the yard: "Bring a glass of water here."

Immediately, someone came out, went into the house, took a pottery bowl, took a bowl of water from the water tank in the yard, and handed it to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao poured water on the paper with his backhand.

The paper figurine uttered a shrill scream, and it burned up, and after a while, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and floated into the sky, disappearing.

A trail of ashes remained on the ground.

Wu Ce had little contact with this kind of thing, so he was amazed that he crushed the ashes on the ground with his boots, thinking that he would go to the demon town more often in the future, so he couldn't lag behind.

Zhu Biao saw that he was interested, and explained: "In the daytime, these sorcerers have weaknesses. Paper and fire are afraid of water, and it is difficult for ghosts to come out to harm people in the daytime. Use some boy's urine, chicken blood, and copper coins to get rid of them." Anything, basically can be restrained."

The faces of the three members of the Qi family were all pale, and cloth strips were stuffed in their mouths. At this moment, even if they were fools, they would know that something was wrong.

"Take them all away."

The people in black quickly pushed these four people away.

Zhu Biao looked sideways, and said: "Check it out thoroughly, if the three ordinary people in the Qi family did not commit crimes, they will be released after a while."

Wu Ce said hello, and then said, "Do you need the assistance of your subordinates for tonight's matter?"

"No need, I'll go by myself." Zhu Biao stepped out of the alley, "Go back and tell my mother that I won't go back tonight."

Wu Ce was stunned for a moment, and chased after him: "Young Master, tomorrow's battle will be dangerous, you must come back before dawn. Otherwise, the marshal and his wife will have no way to explain if their subordinates lost their heads."

"Well, don't worry." Zhu Biao led the horse over and said helplessly, "Don't say that you told me, don't you dare to disobey my father if you don't tell me?"

Wu Ce thought about it too...

He has been with Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, and has done everything. Although the commander-in-chief dotes on his son, when it comes to fighting, the soles of his shoes are unambiguous.

There is a crackling meal, like stir-frying and popping beans.

"Okay, you go." Wu Ce cupped his hands, turned and left.

Under the sun, his figure quickly disappeared on the long street.

He still has his own things to do. In tomorrow's Longwan battle, Wu Ce will still be the secret guard who will personally protect Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is easy to dodge an open spear, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark.

Zhu Biao didn't stay here for long, squatting in the corner for a while, and caught a mouse in a short while, telling it to inform Liu Laoxu that he was going to leave the city.

Then he found a step for himself, sat down, took a bamboo piece and a carving knife, and worked as a carpenter in the shade, working hard for the unborn fan.

Zhu Biao was a little annoyed all the time. He looked at the streets where people used to come and go, and thought of the grand event that came out during the Chinese New Year, and then thought of the long street on the day Liu Laoxu married his daughter. Emerging, the pale faces of the three members of the Qi family when they were taken away, and looking at the empty scene now, they are not only annoyed, but even panicked.

In the war, the conscripts do not return, the wives and children are scattered, and the land is thousands of miles away. No one has a good war.

It is better to unify the world sooner.

with a snap.

Bamboo pieces were thrown on the ground.

Soon it was midnight.

The river was flowing mightily, and it was dark all around, without a ray of light.

On the bank of the Longwan River, a dense mass of monsters and Taoist monks stood in line, waiting for command.

At this time, Upin has become as big as a boat, and its back is full of bamboo shoots. While they chatter, they create many shelves out of thin air for people to climb on.

The eldest grandson Wanguan stood by the river, directing Ning Wan and Shen Hai, and the Shui tribe worked together to lay a foundation soon.

Tens of thousands of mice carried cloth bags on their backs, transporting stones mined from the Zhongshan Valley, and placed bags by the river.

The Taoist monks held sacks no bigger than a palm, but what they poured out were stones as tall as a person.

In order not to let people know his identity, Zhu Biao stood not far away to supervise the work.

Those subordinates at the Monster Township Department naturally thought that these monsters were found by the grandson Wanguan, and that those who could come to work at the Monster Township Department were not pedantic people. Nothing else to think about.

"Strength! Hard! Hey! Talk about you, put the stone there!"

"Brother Xu, quickly give Pindao a lighting technique, Pindao is about to fall into the water—"

"Brother Wang! Whoops!"

"Ah! Brother Mouse, why did you fall into the water, Brother Fish, Brother Loach, grab it, it's on the left, on the left!"

Everyone was a little hectic at first, but it was fine after we adjusted.

Zhu Biao opened a pair of golden eyes, grasped the landing position of the bridge from a high place, and commanded the commander Sun Wanguan remotely with a talisman for communication, and worked like this all night.

As dawn broke, the dawn light shone on a brand new bridge.

The stone surface reflects the light, and a bridge stands on the river.
