Li Xin came to the vicinity of Yuxi City with a condescending mentality, but what he saw was completely different from what he had imagined.
After the demons, Yuxi City once again strengthened and heightened the city walls, and the whole city looked completely new. And in the past year, Yuxi City has undergone several expansions, and its scale is already quite large. Although there is still some gap with the prosperous capital built by spending a lot of money like Lingyun City, but such a city stands in the uninhabited west of Yunyang, giving people a feeling of standing out from the crowd, and its grandeur is far beyond any Lixin has seen along the way. City.
In fact, with the development of the northern industrial base, Heyue is already planning the next expansion plan of Yuxi City.
Pills, spirits, and luxury perfumes, these are the three main industries currently in the northern industrial base. Distilled alcohol with a high alcohol content is still a popular product, especially in the cold northern territories; luxury perfumes are a new business, but already on the market, the supply is already in short supply. The only relatively weak elixir has gradually begun to open up the high-end market. It no longer puts all its energy into the production of low-grade elixir with small profits but quick sales, and begins to grope for refining and purifying high-grade medicinal materials.
Ironworks, experimental fields, and machinery workshops, these are the three strategic manufacturing industries that are kept secret in the northern industrial base. High-purity iron is supplied to Lingwu, hybrid rice from the experimental field is supplied to the royal family, and equipment such as bearings and thermal generators produced by the machinery workshop are self-produced and sold.
In addition, the most important thing in the northern industrial base is the research institute. If other businesses are output, then here is pure investment, and a lot of money will be burned every month. But it is precisely in this place that the anti-magic drug, a high-tech item, was born. Because the anti-magic drug is more important, the relevant research team has separated from the research institute. All these researchers have become technical backbones and high-level executives in the Magic Su medicine factory.
There are more and more industries, and the original small town will definitely not be able to accommodate them. These high-end industries are not suitable for relocation now, and can only continue to expand the city. People who have been staying in Yuxi City may feel little, but this change is simply incredible to outsiders. It is like a magic created out of thin air, and a prosperous city has been added overnight.
"Is this Yuxi City?"
Li Xin opened the curtain and asked the driver sitting in front.
The coachman replied blankly:
"I don't know. The last time I came to Yuxi City was five years ago. At that time, it was just a small town made of piles of dirt. Did I go wrong? No, there is only one way to go west. .”
"That's it."
Li Xin pretended to be calm and said:
"What's the matter, although it looks pretty good, it's far worse than those cities in Xiqin. It's just that it looks good in Yunyang. If you really want to take it out, it's not a pile of rubbish... Go, I will Let's see what kind of moths the fourth brother has made in the west."
The carriage drove leisurely to Yuxi City.
When she got closer to Yuxi City, Li Xin suddenly felt that the carriage became very stable, with almost no bumps and ups and downs. She poked her head out of the window and found that the gray-white ground was completely different from the usual muddy road. It is extremely flat, spacious and atmospheric, and the carriage will only make a small sound when driving on it.
Not only that, but there were a lot of carriages coming and going. Although Li Xin's carriage was considered quite grand among them, it was not far behind some of the more expensive carriages, which showed that there were not a few heavyweights traveling to and from Yuxi City. This made Li Xin a little annoyed, resenting the lord of Yunyang for not arranging a big carriage for her, and then routinely pinning the blame on all Yunyang male compatriots.
When he was about to enter the city, Li Xin opened the curtains and said coldly:
"Slap those two horses a few more times. Don't worry about those guards blocking the way, just rush in!"
Takizawa in the carriage stopped his fan and asked cautiously:
"Sister Xin, isn't this a bit..."
Li Xin reached out and brushed the bangs in front of her forehead, reprimanded angrily:
"What do you know? If you don't give them some power, they really think they are some kind of person. When we went to other cities before, which time did the city lord come out to greet him in person? It's good to be the fourth child. It's fine if he doesn't come out by himself." You don’t even have a guard of honor, do you think hanging a banner on the city gate will do the trick? Just crash into his city lord’s mansion, and it doesn’t matter how many people you crush to death!”
The last few words were addressed to the coachman.
The coachman could only raise his whip and beat the horse severely, and the horse, which had already slowed down, started to gallop wildly in fright. The tactic of striking first and gaining strength has been tried and tested time and again. When two very aggressive people meet, it is nothing more than being more aggressive than the other. With Xiqin's background, she has always been superior. Every time the other party has to obediently give way, then the momentum If you are suppressed, you will no longer be able to turn over easily.
However, what Li Xin didn't expect was that when seeing her carriage crashing into her, the guards of Yuxi City not only had no intention of avoiding it at all, but immediately started to huddle together. More than a dozen guards quickly assembled into a small spear formation, pointing their spears straight at Li Xin's carriage, as if they were going to stop her directly outside the gate of Yuxi City!
Li Xin leaned out from the carriage and shouted loudly:
"We are Xiqin's carriage, get out of the way!"
No one backed down.
The guards looked at the galloping carriage, but took a step forward in unison, and responded:
"Those who forcibly break into the city gate will be shot and killed!"
Li Xin was flustered all of a sudden, she couldn't believe that these little guards really had the courage to confront her, even if she knocked them away with the powerful momentum of the carriage, the spears in their hands would probably be nailed into the necks of the horses. Shi Lixin herself couldn't help but look embarrassed.
But she didn't stop.
The pampered life gave her great courage, and she developed a domineering habit since she was a child. If the guards of Yuxi City really dared to attack her, it would mean that Yuxi City and Yunyang had collapsed before they had talked, and she felt that Yuxi City could not afford it.
However, as the carriage got closer and closer to the gate, she realized that these guards really didn't look like they were acting.
When he was in a dilemma, a black figure suddenly stepped forward from the side, leaped to where the coachman was, raised his hand and grabbed the two reins in his hand, pulled back, ordered the horse to stop, and at the same time yelled at the driver in front of him. The guards said loudly:
"Be careful!"
This time, the soldiers dispersed one after another, and Li Xin's carriage rushed forward for a certain distance, but stopped before passing the city gate completely. Li Xin in the carriage stumbled violently because of the sudden stop, and angrily opened the curtains to look out.
A man who looked like a military officer stood there, looking coldly at the sweating coachman. Seeing Li Xin leaning out, he gave her another cold look, and jumped off the carriage.
He put one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist and said:
"The city lord has explained that the first time you make trouble here without causing serious consequences, the warning is to tell you what the rules are here. If you do it again, you will be punished twice. You are lucky this time, let's go .”
