Regarding the content of the letter, Qianye couldn't laugh or cry. These two guys don't know where they are going to harm people, Qianye only hopes that the two of them don't think that the neutral land really comes and goes freely.
After going to the edge of the floating land and wandering around for many days, Qianye is already physically and mentally exhausted, and he doesn't want to go out again. He returned to his room and ordered no one to disturb him if there was anything important to do, then he threw himself on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Ever since he cultivated to become a warrior or above, Qianye has rarely slept. The practice of Song's ancient scrolls is gentle and gradual, like spring wind and rain, it can completely replace sleep, and even the effect of rest and rejuvenation is far better than sleep.
But now that Qianye is exhausted, a good sleep is what he wants most.
The darkness is so deep and so lonely.
After an unknown amount of time, Qianye suddenly opened his eyes, and there was some dazzling sunlight. A ray of sunlight penetrated through the gap in the curtains and shone into the room. Looks like it's a rare fine weather outside.
Qianye lay quietly, staring blankly at the ceiling, his eyes were empty and lifeless.
He jumped up suddenly, rushed to the window, pulled open the curtains, and suddenly the blazing sun shone on his face, causing his eyes to narrow slightly.
Today is indeed a fine weather, outside the window is a busy construction site, nearly a hundred mercenaries have turned into construction workers, busy. A warrior-level powerhouse carried a stone weighing several tons and walked into the construction site step by step with heavy steps. Then, with a hey sound, his muscles sprang up, and he inserted the stone heavily into the foundation, turning it into a pillar.
This stone pillar stood up straight without any deviation, and there was no need to adjust the angle. Several mercenaries immediately reinforced the base of the stone pillar, while the warrior turned and left to move another stone pillar.
Qianye's thoughts were a little sluggish at the moment. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this person was the Frost Wolf, who was originally the boss of this yard. Now that he puts down his figure, his enthusiasm for work is so high. He doesn't know whether it's because he went to Guanlan City once with him, or because Ning Tianqing secretly cleaned him up.
Qianye smiled slightly, pushed the door open, and there were two guards standing outside the door, guarding them dutifully.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Three days! My lord!" A guard replied loudly. He already had the demeanor of a regular imperial army. It seems that Miss Ji's devilish methods are not vegetarian.
"Three days?" Qianye stretched his body and said, "Who is in charge of Dark Fire now, take me to see him."
In one morning, Qianye met several people. They were originally the leaders of their respective mercenary regiments. After the change in Nanqing City, because they were knowledgeable about current affairs and smart, they were selected by Song Zining to be in charge of various aspects.
After listening to them talk about the work they were responsible for one by one, Qianye understood the current situation of Dark Fire.
The lunch time was very short, and twenty minutes later, the various construction sites started construction again.
In the warehouse where the materials were piled up, the Frost Wolf leaned over, grabbed a polished stone pillar, and carried it on his shoulders with a hey sound. The few mercenaries who were watching immediately applauded loudly.
Even if the Frost Wolf is no longer the leader, after all, where the combat power level is placed, there will be preferential treatment wherever it is. But now he was able to put down his body and work with ordinary mercenaries in construction, and immediately won the love and respect of many mercenaries.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. The man was standing next to a pile of steel beams and was asking the people around him, "Are these going to be moved to the same construction site?"
"Yes, yes, my lord!" The soldier who answered stuttered, and the Frost Wolf was also greatly surprised, recognizing that this person was actually Qianye.
Qianye casually wore a set of worn-out battle armor, which didn't fit well. It looked like a second-hand suit found in the warehouse. He grabbed the steel beams and put them on his shoulders one by one, stacking seven or eight beams until he was satisfied.
Qianye walked up to Frost Wolf, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, let's go together."
"My lord, you, you are..."
"Work."
"But… "
"But what, you are standing here carrying a stone beam, aren't you tired?"
The Ice Wolf swallowed his saliva, and led the way first, without further words, Qianye followed behind him. The steel beams on Qianye's shoulders don't look thick, but are actually quite heavy, each weighing several tons. Qianye carried so much in one breath, and he had to run the force when he walked, so as not to sink himself into the ground.
Do this from noon until late at night. With the addition of Qianye and Frost Wolf, the construction speed of the construction site doubled. By late at night, the framework of a new armory warehouse had been built.
After working hard all day, even Frost Wolf was so tired that his face was pale and his feet were a little fluttering. But Qianye remained the same as before, completely unresponsive.
When the mercenaries left the construction site one after another and went back to rest, the Ice Wolf asked cautiously: "My lord, work is over now, do you want to have a drink later?"
To his surprise, Qianye agreed very happily: "Why not?"
After a whole day of hard work, all the taverns in Nanqingcheng were full. Before the mercenaries had time to wash off the dust and sweat on their bodies, they impatiently planned to have a drink.
Although tiring, for ordinary mercenaries, this is also a job that can get paid, and they don't have to work hard with their heads. The experienced veteran mercenaries saw the grand prospect of Dark Fire from the scale and purpose of the construction. Ordinary mercenary regiments really don't need four arsenals for different purposes, nor do they need to build airship repair workshops.
Most of the mercenaries in the neutral land have simple survival wisdom, and everyone knows the importance of hugging their thighs. If you really don't have thighs to hug, you will choose to hug your legs. Now Qianye, Ji Tianqing and Song Zining let them see from every angle how thick and strong Dark Fire's thigh is, at least able to suppress the city lord Ji Rui. And the vast majority of mercenaries can't even enter the city guards. If they can live in the city guards safely, who will become mercenaries? Unless it's a real outlaw.
Therefore, when building the new base of the mercenary group, the soldiers from the small mercenary group all exerted their utmost efforts. They are cannon fodder on the battlefield, and it is difficult to succeed even if they try their best. Now it's just a matter of working hard and sweating to make the people above see it. Who would not seize this opportunity.
When the Frost Wolf and Qianye walked into the tavern, the original noise fell silent for an instant. For ordinary mercenaries, the Frost Wolf is an unattainable figure, and Qianye, the nominal head of Dark Fire, is even more out of reach.
But the tavern is the easiest place to get closer. After the initial restraint, the mercenaries soon let go, and the atmosphere in the tavern became fierce again with glasses of strong wine. The only eyes of the mercenaries were their opponents at the wine table, and they had long forgotten Qianye's identity.
The night passed quietly, and the tavern changed from noisy to calm again. The mercenaries inside fell to the ground in disorder, you piled on top of me, I pressed you down, and everyone snored loudly.
At this time, the Ice Wolf crawled out from under the table with difficulty, holding his head and moaning. At this moment, he had a headache as if someone had shot him with a force gun, and everything in his field of vision was shaking.
"Master Qianye... Master Qianye?" The Ice Wolf finally stood up and looked around.
"Your Excellency has already left, and paid for the drinks for you when you left." The tavern owner replied.
The Ice Wolf poured a glass of ice water on his head, and only then did he feel a little more awake. He looked at the mercenaries all over the floor, feeling a little unbelievable, and asked, "Wait, did Lord Qianye drink us all down by himself?"
The tavern owner rolled his eyes at him and said, "Otherwise?"
"... As expected of the leader."
For the next few days, Qianye was just like an ordinary mercenary, spending his days at the construction site, and didn't go back to rest until late at night.
Even the head of the regiment did the coolies himself, and none of the original leaders, big or small, dared to put on airs, and they went to work on the construction site honestly. A large number of strong people joined in, and the progress of the project was like adding a powerful engine, soaring into the sky.
At this moment, Song Zining and Ji Tianqing were lying on the top of a peak at the edge of the East China Sea, covering their bodies with the help of stones, and poking their heads out cautiously.
"What are we doing here?" Before Song Zining could finish his sentence, Ji Tianqing grabbed the back of his neck and pressed his face into the snow.
A voice as small as a mosquito rang into Song Zining's ears: "If you don't want us to die here, just shut up!"
Song Zining was shocked, he had never seen Ji Tianqing so nervous before. He just wanted to use the Three Thousand Floating Leaf Domain to disguise himself, but the back of his neck tightened again: "Don't use the Domain!"
In the end Song Zining had no choice but to follow Ji Tianqing's example, clinging to the ground, with half of his body buried in the snow, moving forward bit by bit.
The two finally reached the edge of the cliff, slowly probed, and looked forward.
In front of the cliff was an open field, and a floating warship was parked in the distance. It looked like a blood warship, and at least it was the ship of the Marquis of Glory.
Song Zining was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a ship of a high-ranking blood race in the East China Sea. But he was extremely smart, and Qianye also mentioned Yetong's current situation, so he understood the origin of this battleship.
Ji Tianqing stared intently at the warship in the distance, and Song Zining couldn't figure out what she was researching.
Looking from a distance, one can see a busy figure on the battleship, repairing the damage. Even though they were far away, Song Zining was such a character that he knew that the blood clan was extremely powerful. Such big figures of the blood family are willing to be their servants, and Yetong at this moment is really not something they can compete with.
Ji Tianqing watched silently for a while, then gestured to Song Zining, and the two of them stepped back carefully, and quietly descended from the back mountain.
"That battleship..." Song Zining asked tentatively.
"She's in there, I can feel it."
"How did you know she was here?"
"Don't worry about it, I have my own way."
Song Zining shook his head helplessly, "So this is what you said to collect resources."
"The reason doesn't matter, does it?"
Ji Tianqing was a little weird at this moment, Song Zining stopped talking, but followed her forward. However, the direction of the two is not to return to Nanqing, but to continue to the edge of the land mass.
