Chapter 1021.
Hanhai County, Nameless Mountain.
“Open the mountain~”
A mid-air yell caused the people who were working hard under the scorching sun to retreat to safety as fast as they could.
Boom!
Accompanied by a shocking explosion, a huge cloud of smoke instantly rose from the mountain pit in front of them, countless debris splashed and flew in all directions, and the tilted mountain followed by a large-scale collapse, as if a natural disaster-level earthquake had occurred.
Birds and beasts in a ten-mile radius immediately fled their homes as if the end had come.
The people watching the explosion were all stupefied, and only after a long time did they unanimously let out a cheer.
“Work!”
Under the order of the supervisor, these quarrymen, who were still stragglers two months ago, swarmed to the pit where the smoke had not yet cleared, and began to carry the rocks that had just collapsed from the blast.
The green granite they quarried was hard and weatherproof, and was the best material for making floor and wall bricks.
According to the traditional way of digging, the quarrymen needed to use iron chisels to cut through the mountain wall bit by bit, and it was very time-consuming and labor-intensive to untie the stones with a lot of hard work.
Nowadays, with the use of gunpowder to open up the mountain, the rocks blown down in one blast are enough to keep hundreds of quarrymen busy!
These high-quality green granite will be polished into different sizes of stone blocks, and then transported by horse-drawn carriages to a place ten miles away.
There, the excavation of the foundation for a tower column designed to be more than twenty feet tall had just begun.
Wang Chen named it “Mountain River Pillar”.
The same Mountain and River Pillar would be constructed seventy-two times in the entire Hanhai County, and they would be distributed in the earth’s orifices where the spiritual qi of heaven and earth was abundant, and together they would form the Mountain and River Grand Formation.
This mountain and river formation with an extremely large coverage area could not only gather the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, but also gather the qi of humanity, providing unparalleled assistance to Wang Chen’s world domination!
In order to build these 72 mountain and river pillars, Wang Chuan had recruited 100,000 strong and healthy stragglers before and after.
As of now, the number of stragglers absorbed by West Sea County had exceeded half a million.
Although preparations had been made in advance, and there was also the full support of the Fuqing Chamber of Commerce, such a large number of stragglers still brought tremendous pressure to the two counties.
Wang Duan’s response was to recruit the old, weak, women and children of the displaced people to open up fields in Xihai County, and on the other hand, he recruited the strongest and strongest people to go mining and logging, and finally handpicked 100,000 people to build the mountain and river pillars.
This will ensure that everyone has a job to do, food for work does not feed the idle.
After the construction of all 72 pillars is completed, these 100,000 stragglers will all be incorporated into the New Hanhai Army.
Newest ~
A falcon swooped down from high in the sky and landed on Wang Chen’s shoulder.
He removed the letterbox and took out the silk paper hidden inside and glanced at it.
At the next moment, Wang Chen leapt up suddenly, and his powerful and unrivaled braking energy coalesced behind him to form a pair of invisible wings that carried him straight up into the sky, flying in the direction of Xihai County City.
Many of the stragglers who were busy on the construction site of the Mountain River Pillar saw this scene and kneeled down in awe.
In their eyes, Tai Fu Wang Chen was simply a god-like existence!
With the help of the strong winds whistling high in the sky, Wang Dust flew all the way out of Hanhai County and landed within the palace of Xihai County City.
After Princess Qing Yun entered the West Sea County, she took over the county governor’s mansion along with a large area around it to become a palace, ruling over the two counties and millions of people.
Of course, there was no way to compare this palace to a real palace, but there were 30,000 elite soldiers of the New Hanhai Army stationed inside, and the defense was as tight as a golden soup.
“Master!”
Just as Wang Dust landed, Princess Qing Yun greeted her with her guards.
Wang Dust smiled and said, “Let’s go, let’s go meet these guys.”
Earlier, Princess Qing Yun had sent him a message via Flying Eagle Transmission, saying that a mission sent by the rebellious party entrenched in the southern part of Great Liang had just arrived in Xihai County City, intending to establish an alliance with this side.
Because of the importance of the matter, Princess Qing Yun hurriedly recruited Wang Duan to come back for discussion.
Wang Dust has no good feelings for the Rebel Party, these guys under the banner of overthrowing tyranny, for the sake of the country and the people, and the restoration forces of the submerged dragon association and paganism, inside and outside of the dynasty everywhere to mess up, set off countless times of civil unrest.
The once strong and powerful Da Liang has fallen into the present situation, the Rebel Party has played an unnegligible role!
Nowadays, it is rumored that the Rebel Party has occupied three counties in the south, and is raiding the counties in the east, further expanding its power, and the scene is getting bigger and bigger.
Wang Chen is very clear that the Princess Qing Yun’s forces that he represents will sooner or later fight with the forces of the Rebel Party.
However, for the time being, Hanhai County and West Sea County did not directly border the territory occupied by the Rebel Party, so well water did not offend river water.
I didn’t expect that the other party would actually send a mission to the alliance.
This caused Wang Chen to become a bit interested, wanting to see what kind of medicine the other party was selling in their gourd!
Therefore, in the original county magistrate’s office hall, Wang Duan and Princess Qing Yun received the delegation that had traveled a long way.
“The envoy of the Pingtian Army, Murong Waide, pays his respects to Your Highness and Lord Taifu!”
An imposing and handsome man in green bowed to Princess Qing Yun and Wang Duan respectively without being overbearing.
The Pingtian Army was the banner of the Counterparty, which meant to return peace to the people of the world, and its leader, Zhang Anliang, had called himself the “Holy Heavenly King”, and his strength had reached the level of a sixth-order Martial Zun.
Zhang Anliang was also the most recently proclaimed Wu Zun powerhouse in the world. Originally, there were a total of four open Wu Zuns in Da Liang.
He was the fifth.
“Murong Huide?”
Princess Qing Yun froze, “You’re from the Murong Clan?”
The Murong Clan was one of the prestigious families and clans in Da Liang, widely powerful both inside and outside the imperial court, with industries spread across the north and south.
However, there was no previous information proving that the Murong Clan was significantly involved with the Rebel Party.
“Yes.”
Murong Huide frankly admitted, “My envoy comes from the Murong family and is currently working for the Sacred Heavenly King.”
He gazed boldly at Princess Qing Yun, his eyes revealing a strong confidence.
Princess Qing Yun frowned.
This Murong Huide gave off a feeling like a sheathed blade with a sharp, cold edge, and whether it was his looks and demeanor or his mannerisms and temperament, he was definitely a first-rate handsome man.
For a young girl in her teenage years, such a man is undoubtedly extremely lethal.
However, Princess Qing Yun’s heart has long been occupied by someone full, even if Murong Huide is ten times more outstanding, but also can not pry open a trace of her heart.
She only felt that this Pingtian military envoy was not very polite and respectful.
“Sacred Heavenly King?”
Wang Dust smiled faintly and said, “What character dares to call himself the Heavenly King and add the name of Saint?”
He was a clear observer and could naturally tell where this Murong Huide’s intentions were.
Want to play the beautiful man trick?
That was really blind!
Murong Huide instantly changed his face.
Although he was quite sophisticated, the indescribable contempt in Wang Chen’s tone when he mentioned Zhang Anliang immediately poked the Murong family’s scales!
