What, this guy turns out to be quite good at talking.
Luo curled his lips slightly, thinking that he would stutter for a long time without being able to explain the situation, and finally let himself go to the rescue.
But it's strange to think about it, why can a man from a small county be so calm in front of everyone
You must know that she trained for a long time before overcoming her stage fright.
In addition, although this speech sounds exaggerated, at least the goals and means are complete, and the levels are relatively clear. This is something that most people cannot do.
And the crab...
He said it had nothing to do with this matter, but bringing such an unexpected food here at night was probably to prove that he could rely on his own ability to gain a foothold in Qingshan Town, which was cut off from supply, right
Xia Fan... what kind of person is he
Luo gently moved his gaze towards the crowd who were still digesting the information.
Compared with the restlessness just now, the atmosphere of whispering at this moment has changed. Obviously, the biggest impact on everyone is not the unity and head-on fight against the evil night, but the fact that "everyone has a chance to pass the exam."
In addition, the plan to transform the town into a city also reduced the panic in the minds of the candidates - people like to follow the herd, and the greater the number, the more so. Regardless of whether the plan works or not, just having the aristocratic family and the unorganized family stay in one place is already a huge comfort to them.
So far, the plan is going well.
"Luo Qingqing, what do you mean!?"
Suddenly, an angry questioning interrupted her thoughts.
She turned around and saw Fang Xiandao walking over with an angry look on his face, "I just heard that your Luo family drove all the people I arranged from the shaft and sealed the mouth of the shaft? You can't get a good seat yourself. Do you just want to drag others to die with you?"
"Brother Fang is serious. The little girl had to do this just for the sake of safety." Luo Qingqian leaned over slightly and said, "Last night, a disciple reported that several animal carcasses were found deep in the shaft. Once the evil night comes, they will It will also become part of the evil spirits. Considering that there are many corners in the shaft that are difficult to explore, it is most appropriate to seal them."
"This is obviously a necessary risk!" Fang Xiandao didn't believe this nonsense at all. "Even if there are a small number of corpses, they still have to line up. For the family, it's just a matter of dedicating one or two more people to deal with it! Now there is no shaft. , how do you plan to survive the Great Desolate Night?"
"That's a good question. This is exactly what we are discussing. Luo Changtian!"
"I'm here." Luo Changtian responded.
"Please explain our new countermeasures to Fang Xiandao. If he still has any questions, he can come to me again."
"I understand. Brother Fang, please come with me."
"What new strategy? This is clearly revenge! Wait, don't pull me... Hey, stop..."
Seeing Fang Xiandao being pulled away by his senior brother, Luo Youer made a face happily.
"Hmph, you deserve it. You're trying to steal space and you're deliberately trying to make people angry."
Luo Qingqing also showed a smile. What she remembered was the discussion with Xia Fan last night.
"I understand, your plan is feasible, but what about the Fang family? They are capable of guarding the shaft, and they don't need to listen to you."
"It's very simple, just let them have the same choice as the Sanmen."
"Aren't you afraid of being resented by them?"
"If they all pass the exam, there won't be any unresolved hatred. At worst, I'll treat them to a meal of fried crab."
"How about you leave this crab to the Luo family so that they have no choice but to do it for you?"
"Oh? You don't like the Fang family?"
"It's just a courtesy."
I have to say, this feels really good...
"Luo Qingqing, is it really okay for you to choose to cooperate with Xia Fan?" Luo Tang said worriedly, "The senior brother seems to be very dissatisfied and thinks that you should make the arson public and let Xia Fan bear all the responsibilities. We Then continue to search for a new hiding place as planned. He said that if you do this, you will give all your reputation to others. In the future, if the news spreads, the Luo family will probably become the laughing stock of other aristocratic families. "
Luo patted her shoulder gently and comfortingly, "Maintaining the order of the world is the responsibility of the Privy Council alchemists. But in the process, we will inevitably encounter a problem, that is, which order to choose to maintain?" .”
"What kind of... order?"
"Did you propose it yourself or someone else? If the latter is worse than the former, then of course there is no need to consider it, but what if the latter is better than the former?"
Luo Tang opened his mouth, but couldn't tell the answer.
"This is not an easy question to answer, and everyone will have different ideas. There is nothing wrong with choosing the order you set, because it does not require you to adapt and is most beneficial to you." Luo Qingqing said calmly, "But I will Choose the better one - organizing the evacuation of candidates, because it is better than leaving it alone and watching chaos spread."
"Just like the Privy Council stood out from the six departments and put an end to the endless evil incidents that occurred in various places after the fall of Yongguo, as long as we continue to choose a better order, the new order will get better and better. And as the defender of these new orders , will never become a laughing stock." She exhaled slightly, "When I heard his plan, I was indeed unwilling, but that did not prevent me from cooperating with him. I hope you understand that I did not choose Xia Fan, Instead, we chose a better order.”
…
"This is the medicinal material newly collected by the logistics team. I leave it to you."
"Has the paper chips been made into talismans?"
"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."
"I'll come first, Genshu is ugly, made by Longshan!"
As a candidate performed alchemy, the ground between the two houses began to arch upward, climbing up along the wall little by little, and did not stop until it was close to the top of the first floor.
"Huh... I can't do it anymore, I've run out of energy today." As soon as the operation stopped, he panted and sat down on the ground.
Someone immediately stepped forward and measured the height of the arched ground. "It has risen nine and a half feet in total, which is good. It is better than the previous group."
"Who's next?"
"Let me try." Another alchemist received the medicine package and stood in front of the house.
"It seems that the progress is quite fast." Luo Qing paused and looked at it for a while, then said to Xia Fan beside him, "It's hard to believe that these people were scheming against each other and fighting each other two days ago."
From the time the plans were announced until that afternoon, Qingshan Town Center had turned into a noisy construction site. All independent candidates were mobilized and invested in this vigorous transformation. Among them, the fastest progress was made by the outer demolition team. The demolition team, composed of more than 40 people, completely looted the houses in the outer circle of Tic Tac Toe in just two hours. All utensils that might come in handy, such as pots, cauldrons, door panels, and hoes, were gathered in front of the teahouse.
Next is the leak-stopping team—it has the largest number of people, nearly sixty people, and the largest proportion are children from aristocratic families. When it comes to alchemy skills, the aristocratic family does have advantages that are unmatched by other sects. They used Gen Shu and Kun Shu to seal the gaps between the buildings one by one, and then used wood to build simple defense facilities such as fences and platforms.
In just half a day, the appearance of the town has changed beyond recognition. The originally smooth brick roads have been plowed into potholes, and a large number of bricks have been used as raw materials for renovation. The two-story houses in the inner circle are connected by crude mud walls. At the same time, due to control issues, many mud walls have even invaded the interior of the walls. At first glance, they look "activated", which is both ugly and terrifying. But compared to the original Qingshan Town, it now looks more like a fortress.
Of course, everyone was not so positive from the beginning. Even with the endorsement of the Luo family, there were still many candidates who questioned the plan. The most important question was not whether they could withstand the evil night, but whether so many people could survive in time. Hunt enough prey to survive the last two days of the exam.
The only shortcoming of the alchemist is probably consumption - once the stomach is full, the efficiency of entraining Qi will be greatly reduced, and it will become no different from ordinary people.
Therefore, the first to achieve results and drive the overall situation was neither the demolition team nor the leak plugging team, but the hunting team. According to the instructions, it only took them half an hour to catch a large number of crabs from the living stream in the back mountain. Even if it was not enough for everyone, it was undoubtedly a boost for the candidates who had been without food for a day. It can be said that it was after the fried crab feast that everything got on track.
"They fight because of profit, and now they cooperate for profit." Xia Fan chuckled, "There is external pressure to survive from the Great Wilderness, and internally there is the temptation to pass the exam. As long as there is no sworn hatred, they should be able to do it. Endure it. This does not count as resolving the conflict. At best, it just suppresses the conflict. It may explode over time, but fortunately, we only have to persist for two days."
"Oh? I thought you would praise me for your good decision-making and your ability to make speeches and appeals."
"In your eyes, do I turn out to be such a self-aware person?"
"It looked similar when I came to the door last night." Luo Qingqing stepped forward with his hands behind his back, "By the way, where did you learn these things? Not only are you good at arranging people, but grouping is also very interesting. What about plugging leaks? Team, measurement team... review the improvements while implementing them, as if you know it well and it's not the first time you are responsible for this. Don't tell me you learned it from books, they don't teach this."
"Of course it won't be in the book, just like the tricks of Jianghu gangs are not recorded in the book." Xia Fan followed slowly, "I have been wandering with my master for more than ten years, and I have learned a few tricks."
"Really?" She turned her head and glanced at him, her eyes full of disbelief, "It's okay if you don't want to disclose it, but it's best not to mention your past in the future - for a person with a bright future who serves under the emperor For an alchemist, a humble background is not a qualification worth talking about."
Xia Fan couldn't help being stunned, "What did you say? Me?"
"Otherwise, who else." Luo Qingqing said strangely, "As long as you can successfully survive the evil night, with your decision, you will definitely be the top choice. And the top three in the scholar examination will all be divided into Go to the metropolis of Gyeonggi, and from then on you will reach the sky in one step, above ten thousand people. To describe it as a promising future, is there any problem?"
He didn't know what to say for a moment. This was a question he had never considered. For Xia Fan, the only purpose of taking the scholar's examination was to gain access to everything about alchemy, so that he could rise to prominence. He had never thought about it.
"Don't worry, you will get used to it." Luo Qingqing misunderstood his expression. She turned around and said with a sweet smile, "I thought that after the exam, we would not meet again. It seems that I was wrong. . We are likely to work together in the same mansion in the future, and I would like to ask for your advice."
