In desperation, Ye Lingyue could only repair a book and go to Qicheng, hoping that Qicheng could send some plasterers and soldiers over to repair the city walls as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Qicheng quickly replied to the letter.
The words in the letter were cold, saying that the army is currently experiencing troubled times, and there is no way to care about rebuilding the city wall.
After the new military order was promulgated, the morale of the soldiers in the army was at an all-time high. Everyone hoped that they could kill more spirit beasts in order to obtain higher merits and ranks.
As a result, no one is willing to do heavy work like building the city wall.
In addition to Hong Fang and others' deliberate efforts to make things difficult, Dandu's city wall remained the same after more than half a month of collapse.
In the past few days and nights, although Ye Lingyue has ordered people to step up patrols, there are still a few civilians' homes, and beast attacks have occurred. Many civilians have been looted by spirit beasts, and their lives and deaths are still unknown.
"I can't go on like this. It seems that I have to go to Qicheng myself." Ye Lingyue frowned, looking at the letter in her hand.
"That can't be done. You are not a sheep at the mouth of a tiger. Hong Fang and Xia Houhong are waiting for you to come to your door. Besides, the alchemist's mansion is so busy now, and you have to take care of the affairs in the city. If you leave, the city will not It's messed up." Lan Cai'er disagreed with Ye Lingyue's going to Qicheng. "Why don't I go to Qicheng and ask General Nie and Aunt Ye for help."
After all, Lan Caier is also the Princess of the imperial court, and she, Hong Fang, and Xia Houhong don't have the same deep hatred as Ye Lingyue. After thinking about it, she still thinks that it is most suitable for Dandu to go to Qicheng by herself.
Ye Lingyue still felt a little insecure, Lan Caier patted her chest boldly.
"I said Lingyue, although your sister and I are not as capable as you, but at least I am a master of alchemy. You just give me a chance to kill some spirit beasts, and become a school captain."
Ye Lingyue was so entangled by her that she had no choice but to let her go to Qicheng.
Not long after Lan Caier left Qicheng, on this day, Ye Lingyue was standing by the city wall, supervising the soldiers moving the ruined walls.
The dry cauldron in his hand buzzed, and there was a voice that sounded like gossamer.
"Ye Xiaoyou, just sympathize with me and let the old monster out. You see, I am old enough to be your great grandfather. If you torture an old man like this, you won't feel uneasy about your conscience?"
Compassion, what the hell is that
Her mother had never taught her, nor had she seen it in books, so Ye Lingyue ignored it, and directed the soldiers to move the city stones.
Seeing the city wall full of scars and the displaced residents due to the beast attack, Ye Lingyue was furious. If it wasn't for the old monster Jinwu, how could the city wall become like this.
Ever since the golden crow was imprisoned in Gan Dingli, he has begged Ye Lingyue countless times in disguise.
This is no matter how hard-hearted a person is, I'm afraid his heart has already softened, but this Ye Lingyue is completely indifferent, as if he has no heart at all.
The Golden Crow was at his wit's end, and when he heard the soldiers moving the wall stones, he had an idea and spoke again.
"Little friend Ye..."
"Shut up." Ye Lingyue said viciously.
"Little friend, the old man actually has a method that can help you repair the city wall."
Just after Jin Wu finished his strange words, Ye Lingyue's expression changed slightly.
"What a way!"
"Ye Xiaoyou, you don't need any masons, you don't need any reinforcements, and you can still cultivate the city wall. And the old monster promises that as long as you let me go, the old monster will find a way to help you build the strongest city wall on the mainland, and guarantee that you will not be able to survive for a thousand years." Actually, what kind of beast attack and bombardment is nothing to worry about." The old monster of the Golden Crow was bragging happily, but the next moment, the cauldron moved, and the ball of Golden Crow Dan fire was spit out.
"Don't even think about running away. I have already left a spiritual imprint on your fire. As long as you dare to run away, I will immediately refine you. On the other hand, if you can obey me obediently, I will not only let you go, but also let you go." I can help you find a body." Ye Lingyue's words instantly dispelled the Golden Crow's urge to wait for an opportunity to escape.
The world is so big, where can he escape.
The Golden Crow Sect had already been wiped out, and he couldn't survive in the Central Plains area. The Golden Crow old monster thought about it for a while, and then simply kept quiet and obediently listened to Ye Lingyue's words.
Ye Lingyue did what she said, and she soon found out about the dead body of a middle-aged man in the city.
This man was unfortunately killed in a beast attack, but he died only a few hours ago, his body hadn't cooled down completely, and his hands, feet, and limbs were still sound.
The Golden Crow monster wasn't picky either, the ball of Golden Crow's pill fire penetrated into the man's body.
The man whose complexion was already blue-gray gradually returned to normal, and then he sat up slowly.
"Thank you, Ye Xiao... It's time to call you Ye Zhangding. Thank you for your kindness of rebuilding." The Golden Crow old monster quickly changed his words.
This body is very good, in the prime of life, and before his death, he was an alchemist, which is quite to the appetite of the Golden Crow.
"I don't need to say more polite words. I just want to ask you, what method can be used to rebuild the city wall?" Ye Lingyue is most concerned about the city wall.
"Well, it is to use the alchemists in the city to work together to refine a large amount of iron and stone, preferably high-quality black iron. The molten iron is poured into the city wall, and it will naturally be as solid as gold, and it will last for a thousand years." The old monster Jinwu said triumphantly . "Actually, before the establishment of the Golden Crow Sect, the old monster was a handyman in a sect. He had seen similar casting techniques in the sect to build the defense of the mountain gate. Later, I blamed me for offending an inner disciple. I had no choice but to escape, but I still remember this skill."
Ginger is still old and hot. The Golden Crow monster has been rampant on the mainland for so many years, and he has eaten more salt than Ye Lingyue has eaten rice. His method is indeed very insightful.
In other places, it is also difficult to implement things like building city walls with molten iron.
But alchemy is different, there are not hundreds of alchemists in the alchemist's mansion, there are a hundred, plus Jinwu old monster and Ye Lingyue, it is absolutely feasible to pour the city wall with molten iron.
The only thing that the Golden Crow is worried about is that building the city wall is a big project, and the amount of black iron needed is too large.
"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way to get a lot of high-quality black iron." Ye Lingyue was born in the Ye family, which owns some of the best black iron veins in Daxia.
Ye Lingyue made a Fang Crane immediately, and sent it back to Ye's house urgently.
About two or three days later, Fang He brought back Mr. Ye's answer.
Mr. Ye said that he would raise enough ore in the shortest possible time, and transport it to Dandu by land. It would take about half a month at the slowest to form halfway.
