Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 247
In September in the Northland, it gets dark early.

Among the Lingzhi cities, the north city was the most severely damaged, while the relatively poor and dilapidated south city suffered little damage.

However, due to the large-scale construction plan in Lingzhi City, the population of the city moved to the North City, which was being rebuilt.

This small area is dilapidated and uninhabited.

Among the crooked thatched huts and melons, a few relatively bright buildings were lit with dim candlelight.

The backyard of this restaurant is a courtyard with two entrances, and there are three small courtyards for living in the side. It also doubles as a foot shop for drinkers to rest temporarily.

At the end is a courtyard dedicated to parking horses and carriages.

In the main room in the middle, there was the rustling of voices speaking at a low volume.

The dim candlelight reflected the bright silk fabrics of everyone in the room.

In this dilapidated house with frayed lichen and a musty stench, half of the prominent families in Lingzhi gathered together.

Those who can come here have reached a tacit agreement and taken action.

Lian Zhe was a little confused.

Lin family, Jiang family, Guo family...

These people with big surnames gathered around Lian Zhe and praised his behavior.

Although he didn't seem to have actually done anything.

But that didn't stop him from looking modest, saying that he just didn't want to continue to be bullied by Zhao Yunpifu and Gongsun's vicious woman.

But Manager Ding, who really took action, sat aside helplessly.

I don't know where I offended Mr. Lian, and he was left in the cold.

Another meritorious man, Wang Jin, was well received. Following Lian Zhe's death, he got to know many people from aristocratic families.

This made Wang Jin overjoyed and kept smiling on his face.

It was getting late at night, and the oil lamp burning in the corner of the room crackled and bloomed.

Suddenly someone said: "Count on the time, it's time for Lian Gong to start taking action."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of Dongcheng.

……

patter
An extremely heavy leather bag fell to the ground.

The mouth of the bag was not tied tightly, and several golden cakes rolled out.

Not the usual stuff called gold but actually copper, but real gold.

Under the torchlight, it sparkles with a charming luster.

Lian Zhen raised the corners of his lips, watching the dark-skinned city gate captain in front of him looking at the gold on the ground, and swallowed subconsciously.

The value of this bag of gold is enough to make the young man in front of me worry-free for half his life.

Finally, the young man with veins popping out on his forehead was bewitched by the golden light. He suddenly stepped forward, picked up the bag of gold, and held it in his arms like a treasure.

Lian Zhen showed a satisfied smile and signaled to the servant beside him, who followed the order and left.

He came back after a while and nodded to Lian Zhen.

Lian Zhen's face suddenly showed a satisfied smile.

……

The second half of the night is when people are most sleepy.

The soldiers on the east city were drowsy. Lian Zhen, led by the city gate captain, walked up to the city wall with his followers in a swagger.

He looked at these sleepy soldiers and shook his head secretly.

After all, Zhao Yun's background was a bit shallow. After his elite soldiers followed him to Xiangguan, there was no one available. The county soldiers in the city were extremely slack.

However, this is the best.

The fruit that Yuan had promised them turned around and fell into the hands of his Lian family.

Lian Zhen thought proudly.

At this time, there were lights everywhere outside the city, and thousands of people were coming towards the city gate.A dozing soldier woke up and when he saw the situation before him, he ran to the watchtower to ring the bell as a warning.

But he was stopped by the city gate captain, who kicked him on the buttocks and said, "You are so blind that you can't see the flag of Governor Zhao?"

The city gate captain said loudly: "Don't mess around. It's Governor Zhao who is back. Don't make any noise. If you cause trouble, you will be killed without mercy."

After hearing what he said, the commotion on the city wall calmed down.

A soldier asked timidly: "Why did Governor Zhao come back at night?"

But he was slapped across the face by the city gate captain: "Is this what you should ask?"

The soldier covered his face, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he lowered his head in anger but did not dare to speak.

While he was talking, soldiers approached from a distance. Under the heavy firelight, a red flag was raised, with the word "Zhao" vaguely written on it.

"Open the city gate quickly," the city gate captain said, "If something serious happens and we are investigated, I will kill you first."

The soldiers on the city hesitated for a moment, saw him raising his hand again, and then hurried down to the city to give the order to open the door.

Lian clasped his hands and squinted his eyes to watch this farce-like scene.

The city gate creaked open a crack, and then the gap slowly widened.

The people below the city crossed the suspension bridge on the moat and slowly entered the Wengcheng. Lian Zhen saw a familiar face in front of the team.

As groups of soldiers walked into Wengcheng, the joy on the town could no longer be suppressed.

He winked at the city gate captain, and when he was about to leave, he noticed a tall man standing next to him.

Seeing him stunned, the man turned his head and gave him a friendly smile.

Lian Zhen was briefly lost for a moment, then his face turned as pale as a ghost.

The city gate captain didn't know when he stood behind him, put his hand on his shoulder, and grinned widely.

"What are you doing..." Lian Zhen's followers were about to have a fit.

The soldier who ran down to deliver the order came back at some unknown time. He grabbed the attendant's neck and twisted it casually.

There was a crisp click sound, and it fell down as soft as a cloth bag.

The soldier touched his face, walked to the city gate captain and whispered: "You will be dead later, but you dare to hit Naigong!"

"Hehehe." The dark-skinned Chengmen Lieutenant let out a silly laugh.

Lian Zhen looked up in despair, only to find that the yawning soldiers had all stood behind the parapet at some unknown time, holding crossbows in their hands.

And in the distance, the sound of thundering horse hooves was approaching.

……

"Hey, I wonder if Lian Gong's operation went well." A person in the wine shop frowned.

Normally, he should have slept in a warm bed with soft pillows, but now he had to sit upright in this drafty shabby room. Some people had long been dissatisfied.

Lian Zhe glanced at the man and said nothing.

Manager Ding stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

Lian Zhe snorted. Now that the matter is over, Manager Ding is no longer so important.

Wang Jin didn't know what he was thinking, so he stood up and said, "I'm going with Brother Ding."

Manager Ding glanced at him inexplicably and walked out first with an expressionless face, followed by Wang Jin.

Not long after they left, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside.

Lian Zhe was looking forward to it. He turned around and saw a guard pushing the door open and coming in.

Lian Zhe wanted to ask if it was done, then he heard the guard say: "No! Many people came from outside and surrounded the courtyard."

Lian Zhe was stunned on the spot: "Impossible, impossible. How could anyone know that we are here."

The guard's words made everyone present panic. They stood up and ran outside, only to find that the courtyard door was blocked from the outside.

For a while, the courtyard was filled with noise.

Lian Zhe stepped on the guard's shoulders and climbed up the courtyard wall, his heart suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
