The Emperor is Above

Chapter 414 Arriving at Dragon City Again
"The Lord asked Xizi and Huaimu to stay in the camp outside Yangwu City. Wasn't it for the layout of the twelve cities in the northern border?"

Gongsun Wu had a trace of doubt on his face, "Yangwu City is the closest city to the Dragon City Mound, and it is also a key step in controlling the twelve cities in the northern border, and we must not let it fail.

Xizi and Huaimu are both smart and steady, but they are only sixteen years old after all, and do not have much experience in taking charge of things alone. I am worried that they will accidentally mess up the master's plan.

After all, the family of Tian Bin, the defender of Yangwu City, has controlled this place for more than a hundred years, and is deeply supported by the people of Yangwu City and the nobles. Tian Bin is also an old and cunning man, so it is difficult to hide it. "

"Of course it is extremely necessary to control Yangwu City. The people responsible for this matter are not Xizi and Huaimu, but Shi Ludan and his group of rangers. I have already made arrangements."

Qing Yi chuckled calmly and said, "As for leaving Xizi and Huaimu here, let them openly attract the attention of the Yangwu City Guards and even the twelve Northern Frontier City Guards, so that everyone in Yangwu City will gradually get used to our presence here.

In addition, the two of them will build this place into a transit station for the people of the country to go to Longcheng Fengtu, and then they will have to continue to recruit a large number of people to go to Longcheng Fengtu."

"It turns out that the master already had a plan in mind!"

Gongsun Wu showed a hint of joy in his eyes. "Right now, Longcheng has 37,000 people, but there are only 15,000 people from the country. We need to recruit at least 30,000 more people from the country."

"Master, Master, how about we wait until the caravan arrives at Longcheng Fengtu, and then Gongsun Jiazai and I will lead the caravan and set off immediately, returning to the capital to continue recruiting farmers from the country."

Daniu patted his chest and said in a muffled voice, "Now that the Ghost Witch tribe has annihilated a hundred thousand troops in Yanze, and the Sacrifice Willow tribe has also surrendered to the master, there shouldn't be any problems along the way."

"Haha, Daniel, you are really bold!"

Qing Yi couldn't help but patted Daniu's broad shoulders.

"Don't you think about how long it took us to get from the capital to Yangwu City? And how long will it take for the ice and snow to completely melt?
Even if you turn around and return to the capital area today, before you can recruit enough farmers from your country, even if the ice and snow melt and spring comes, our sled will be difficult to move."

"Master, the entire Xing State has a large population only in the capital area and the area south of the capital. If we don't go there to recruit farmers, where else can we go?" Da Niu looked confused, and Gongsun Wu also had a puzzled look on his face.

Qing Yi did not answer them immediately, but smiled and asked: "Think about it, where is the poorest place in the entire Xing Kingdom?"

"There's no need to think about it. The northern border is recognized as the poorest place!" Daniu and Gongsun Wu answered the question in unison.

“When you are poor, you must change. When you change, you will succeed!”

Qing Yi couldn't stop smiling, "The Twelve Cities in the Northern Frontier have always been the poorest places in the entire Xing State. The farmers here are at the bottom of society and are extremely poor and destitute.

Not only did they have to pay taxes every year, but whenever the Xianyu tribe invaded or the Guiwu tribe rebelled, they were also required to perform labor service and fight in the army and transport supplies.

If there is a place where they can live a happy life, do you think they would be willing to migrate here and give it a try?"

"My Lord is right!"

Gongsun Wu could not hold back his excitement, and he counted with his hands.

“There are approximately 700,000 people in the twelve cities of the Northern Frontier. Even if 1,000 people are relocated from each city, there will be 12,000 people.

These people came to the Dragon City and are very familiar with their old homeland. When the Lord controls the entire northern border in the future, they will be the most powerful helpers. "

"Many things cannot be rushed, we can only take them one step at a time!" Qing Yi's calm expression and confident look made Gongsun Wu, Daniu and others feel more at ease.

The distance from Yangwu City to the hilly forest belt outside Yunling is only more than 400 miles. By the afternoon of the next day, the lush forest was in sight, and a warm cheer broke out in the team.

The cheers were not only due to the excitement of arriving at the outskirts of Yunling, but also because of the beautiful, tall, hot, and revealingly dressed young woman in front of them. "He Clan Leader, it's only been two days since we last met, and we meet again!"

Qing Yi didn't expect that the White Crane tribe leader He Qianxue had been waiting here. She was wearing a tight and hot outfit, which attracted many men to constantly glance at her secretly and made many women secretly curse her as a slut.

In front of her retainers and private soldiers, He Qianxue did not hesitate to show off her graceful figure, but she did not dare to act rashly in front of Qing Yi.

She bowed respectfully and said, "The senior official led his troops to migrate to Longcheng. The two mountain masters were afraid that there would be misunderstandings along the way, so they ordered me to come and lead the way."

"Thank you very much, Shi Ling and Qing Hua, the two mountain masters. Next we have to move forward on the ice of the river." Qing Yi didn't care at all whether He Qianxue had the intention of monitoring and exploring his own strength.

The fact that the team now had four first-grade tree spirits made the woman's beautiful eyes full of surprise. Even if Mr. Qingyu showed up, they still had powerful trump cards like Mu Ling and Duan Hun.

He Qianxue rode a white crane fearfully in front and led the way until dusk when they arrived at a river bend and stopped. She introduced in a tender voice:
"Doctor, this is Feixiong Bay, only 150 miles away from Longcheng. Beyond that are mountains that keep rising. We can only set out early tomorrow morning."

Let Gongsun Wu and Tun Shigu arrange the camping and Qing Yi carefully looked at the river bend. It was actually a small mountain basin formed by the flooding and erosion of the Hutiao River for countless years.

It is far smaller than the area of ​​Longcheng Mound, with a length and width of less than 20 miles, and is divided into three parts by Hutiao River and a tributary.

If all of the land is reclaimed, it will be enough to accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people. What's even better is that it can accommodate ships carrying millions of pounds, and can be used as an important transshipment terminal to build a large number of storage warehouses.

Qing Yi silently kept this piece of land in his heart. Now the land of Longcheng is not stable yet, so it is not suitable to occupy land everywhere, but this place must be controlled in the future.

Although thinking about this in his heart, Qing Yi chuckled and said, "I heard that the two mountain masters have a Feixiong tribe under their command, and this place is called Feixiong Bay. Could this be the place where the Feixiong tribe lives?"

"Shang Dafu is really smart. Feixiong Bay is indeed the territory of Feixiong tribe! But they don't live by the water, but on the mountain over there."

He Qianxue looked humble and smiled charmingly, "But the doctor can't see them here. The leader of the Feixiong tribe has been ordered to help clean up the earth surrounding Dragon City. He needs to relocate all the strange beasts and fierce birds within the Dragon City."

"Oh? Thank you very much!"

Qing Yi didn't expect Shi Ling to be so simple and honest. He didn't even have the slightest difficulty. He felt a little embarrassed to continue to cheat him.

The night was extremely peaceful. Apart from the noisy noises of the Dragon Bird scouts, no accidents occurred. The next part of the journey the caravan had to face was the most difficult one.

Going upstream along the river, the river channel is rugged and full of large pieces of gravel. It is only about fifty meters wide. Rocks block the way, steep cliffs stand tall, and high peaks on both sides reach into the clouds with no visibility.

The Wangmang Fish King volunteered to lead the way with eleven Wangmang giants, and more than a thousand exotic war horses, giant rhinos, and green rhinos pulled the carriage forward.

In some sections that were too steep and difficult to navigate, four dragon claw locust tree spirits took over and lifted the entire convoy up. Qing Yi couldn't help but be grateful for their presence as it saved a lot of effort.

After expending a lot of energy and brainpower, at the end of the afternoon, Qing Yi, who was leading the way with the giant of the Wangmang clan, finally stepped into the Dragon City mound again.

What surprised Qing Yi was that no matter it was the people of Guqiu who had followed him for a long time, the people of Guoren who were recruited in the capital, or the people of Dahuang who came to submit to him from Yanze, everyone cried loudly with excitement when they stepped on the land of Longcheng.

The lips of the old lady and the old man trembled with excitement, and they kept shouting, "We finally have our own home again. This time we will never move again."

But at this moment Qing Yi had no time to comfort these old people, because he saw from afar that the giant kong apes were chasing a group of wilderness folks everywhere.
