Chapter 17

early morning.

The sun shone down on Qiongzhou City, and the whole prefectural city was filled with chills. On the quiet and empty streets, there were only the footsteps of soldiers patrolling.

Following yesterday's order, the entire prefecture was sealed off to guard against the Miao Li rebellion that might appear at any time.

At this moment, Zhu Youchen's figure reappeared in front of the magistrate's yamen.

But in front of the yamen, Wan Qiong had already come out to greet her in person, with a more solemn demeanor than before.

Just in an instant, Wan Qiong's expression changed drastically, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes.

"This...His Royal Highness is leading soldiers?"

"Tap Tap!!!"

Accompanied by the sound of uniform footsteps, Zhu Youchen led a hundred swordsmen towards this place from a distance.

hiss! ! !

Seeing this, everyone shrank their eyes, but looked at Zhu Youchen with even more awe.

Even Wan Qiong was no exception. Looking at the figures of swordsmen who had nothing to do with the peasants of yesterday, his expression was completely moved.

Swordsman!

A full hundred swordsmen.

All the swordsmen wore uniform blue half-length leather armor, a blue nose-protecting leather helmet, and a blue cloak rippling slightly behind them.

Although there are only a hundred people, they are full of evil spirits.

At this moment, all the 100 people held their swords with their left hands and a round wooden shield with their right hands, and they followed behind Zhu Youchen quietly and wordlessly. Their expressionless faces made everyone feel depressed and frightened.

All this shocked Wan Qiong even more.

"Elite soldiers!"

"Absolute elite soldiers!"

"There are not many elite soldiers like this in the entire Hainan Guard."

But what surprised Wan Qiong even more was, where did these elite soldiers come from?

All the guards before Zhu Youchen were forcibly dismissed by Chongzhen and returned to Hengzhou.

However, Zhu Youchen brought a hundred swordsmen over in just one night. Could there be more secretly?

More importantly.

"The gate of the city was closed yesterday, and no one came in or out at all. It is absolutely impossible for this group of people to come from outside the city."

Instead of outside the city, where did that come from?

It can only be that he was originally in the city.

Thinking of this, Wan Qiong shuddered, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Looking at Zhu Youchen who was getting closer and closer, an endless chill grew in her heart.

"Perhaps, as long as His Highness King Gui thinks about it, maybe the head of the magistrate has already moved, and the entire Qiongzhou Mansion may be taken over by King Gui in an instant, but it's just not announced yet."

"And all of this is not difficult for King Gui at all."

Wan Qiong's heart hadn't come to fear and rejoicing, but was replaced by joy and ecstasy.

They are all tied up with Zhu Youchen, and they are all prosperous.

The stronger Zhu Youchen's strength and ability, the more excited they are...

It can even be said to be a sigh of relief.

Yesterday's surrender was a surrender without a choice, more like being forced to gamble their lives. At this moment, it seems that they did not make a mistake in their bet.

Moreover, Zhu Youchen showed them more strength today, isn't it a kind of alternative acceptance?

Thinking of it this way, everyone including Wan Qiong who wanted to understand suddenly felt a little excited. Seeing Zhu Youchen walking in front of him, he knelt down and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty is waiting to meet His Highness!"

His tone and demeanor were more respectful and solemn than before.

Zhu Youchen smiled in his heart, this is the effect he wanted, and he kept making everyone fearful, so that he could serve him better.

Therefore, he spent 6000 points of food units and 2000 points of gold units last night to produce a hundred swordsmen.

Name: Swordsman.

Health: 45

Attack: 6

Armor: 0

Shields: 1

Range: 0

These one hundred swordsmen will be his personal bodyguards in the future.

With their guards, his safety can be greatly guaranteed.

After all, these 100 people can block him without hesitation, which means that he has gained [-] lives.

At this moment, Zhu Youchen immediately raised his hand and said: "Everyone, don't be polite, let's get down."

Although the words were light, everyone stood up immediately, waiting for orders with respectful faces.

With the entire Qiongzhou government taking refuge, some things naturally became easier.

At this moment, seeing Wan Qiong and the others coming out, Zhu Youchen also said directly: "Prefect Wan, can Qiongzhou Prefecture help me collect enough wood in the shortest possible time?"

The purpose of his coming is for wood.

The barracks were built successfully last night.

There are two types of arms that can be produced, one is the spearman, and the other is the swordsman behind him.

Based on Zhu Youchen's comprehensive consideration, spearmen are his choice in a short period of time.

Judging from the barracks and the production conditions of swordsmen, gold will become more and more important in the future. Mass production of swordsmen will consume a lot of gold at this moment, which is not advisable for him at present.

Therefore, only a small number of hundreds of swordsmen can be produced to protect their own safety and stop.

And the cheaper spearman is his best choice.

But the Spearman needs a lot of wood, but he has almost no wood at present. Although he can let farmers bring tools to cut, it is too time-consuming, and it also weakens the accumulation of food in disguise.

Moreover, the Miao Li rebellion would come soon, and he didn't have that much time.

"How much wood does Your Highness need?"

Although Wan Qiong was a little confused about what Zhu Youchen wanted the wood for, she agreed without hesitation:

"At this moment, there are still some wood accumulated in the warehouse in the city. If His Royal Highness needs a large amount, there should be still wood in the lumberyard outside the city. I need time to collect it, and I need the assistance of His Highness's people."

Wan Qiong said that there is no shortage of food on Qiongzhou Island, especially wood.

Due to environmental reasons, the entire Qiongzhou Island has lush forests and towering trees are also very common.

Moreover, because of Miao Li's rebellion, some wood was deliberately cut down to prepare for strengthening the defense and defending the city.

Zhu Youchen was overjoyed that the Qiongzhou government organized to do it for him, so the matter was really much simpler.

"Okay. Take me to fetch the wood immediately. In addition, I will send you a thousand young men to bring the wood in as soon as possible."

Zhu Youchen also allocated him a thousand youths without hesitation. At present, he has more than 1 people. Although giving him a thousand youths will have an impact on food collection, but under the huge base, the impact Also limited.

"I obey the orders. Li Tong ordered you to take His Highness's people out of the city to deliver the wood immediately, and you must return before dark."

Li Tongpan, who had a dark complexion, immediately clasped his fists to promise, and hurriedly went to organize the manpower, and Zhu Youchen also ordered a thousand farmers to cooperate in his mind.

"Your Highness, please come with me."

Wan Qiong personally took Zhu Youchen to the timber storage place quickly.

At this moment, the entire Qiongzhou City was filled with a stormy atmosphere, and there were more soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys, and the number of patrols became more frequent.

The entire prefecture temporarily stabilized.

It's just that Zhu Youchen understands that all the [-] soldiers in the city at this moment, including his [-] young and strong, are only [-] people, and they can only temporarily stabilize the situation in the city.

Confining everyone at home is okay for a short time, but chaos will break out after a long time.

The lack of any of the rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea is enough to cause restlessness in anyone.

People in this era don't have such a profound view of the big picture.

However, as long as they stabilized for the time being, Zhu Youchen had already completed the construction of the barracks, and then he only needed to focus on one thing.

Blast!

Non-stop explosive soldiers!

The resources at his disposal at the moment are sufficient to support him in doing so.

After all, he now controls the entire city of Qiongzhou.

And in the morning, he collected half of the grain and grass given by Wan Qiong, and when he harvested enough wood, he started to explode.

At that time, as long as there are enough troops, even if Miao Li's rebellious army does not come, Zhu Youchen plans to take the initiative to attack! .

Chapter 18

In the huge warehouse, thick and heavy logs were neatly arranged.

Under the leadership of Wan Qiong, as soon as Zhu Youchen entered here, reminders kept ringing in his ears.

[Ding, it is found that wood can be collected, do you want to collect it immediately? 】

[Ding, it is found that wood can be collected, do you want to collect it immediately? 】

[Ding, it is found that wood can be collected, do you want to collect it immediately? 】

Zhu Youchen's ears were buzzing when he heard the dense reminders, but he looked at the dark wood with bright eyes.

Obviously, Wan Qiong was well prepared for the next battle in Qiongzhou. Just by looking at it, one could tell that the amount of wood was extremely high.

It's just that this moment has fulfilled him.

Zhu Youchen immediately waved to Wan Qiong and said: "Prefect Wan, you don't have anything to do here. There are many things in the city, so you should go get busy."

"As ordered. Your Highness." Even though Wan Qiong was curious, she didn't ask any questions, and immediately resigned after hearing the words.

And when Wan Qiong left, Zhu Youchen no longer suppressed the excitement in his heart, and just stayed and started collecting.

"collection."

"collection."

"collection."

Zhu Youchen's excited voice kept ringing in the warehouse, and his hands turned into bottomless black holes again, frantically devouring all the logs in sight.

At the same time, the system's crisp reminder sounded again and again in his ears.

[Ding, collected wood, wood + . 】

[Ding, collected wood, wood + . 】

The data screen box that popped up in front of him began to flicker crazily, and the number in the wood column jumped crazily, breaking through four digits in an instant and still growing crazily.

After a long time, when all the wood stored in the warehouse disappeared, the entire data gradually stopped refreshing.

Host: Zhu Youchen

Food: 605896

Wood: 109682

Stone: 63

Gold: 243683
