Chapter 184

Su Ling accompanied Chen hai to the top of Juquan mountain. Under the sunset, Juquan Lake in the northeast corner of the foothill was sparkling, as if there were thousands of gold and silver. The waves beat the stone bank and aroused waves seven or eight meters high.

It's hard to imagine that a mountain lake with a radius of 40 or 50 miles and a nearshore cliff can stir up such a high wave.

With such a big wave, ordinary ships have to take great risks when landing. No wonder there are few fishing boats on Juquan lake. Even if there are no black towel thieves, no boats will enter Juquan lake.

Such a big storm is really dangerous. Besides, there are two fierce crocodiles dormant at the bottom of Juquan Lake these years.

According to the description of the nearby mountain people, the two giant crocodiles at the bottom of Juquan lake are twenty or thirty meters long and extremely fierce. In the early years, xuanxiu came to kill the demons from time to time. However, every time he stirred the Juquan lake, xuanxiu, who was arrogant at first, was killed and fled.

Even if one or two strong swords are repaired occasionally, and two giant crocodiles hide at the bottom of the lake, those strong swords are helpless.

Juquan lake is a great rift valley between Juquan ridge and the surrounding peaks. It forms a mountain lake after receiving the water from Tonghe river. It is hundreds of meters deep. The underground river caves at the bottom of the lake are different from each other, and the terrain is very complex.

Even the strong men above Mingqiao state are not sure of winning if they want to sneak into the bottom of the lake to kill these fierce lake animals. After all, the bottom of the lake is not the main battlefield of xuanxiu of the Terran, and the two heterogeneous giants obviously master the water system magic power, and they escape very fast underwater.

Fortunately, Juquan lake receives the water from Tonghe River, and a large number of fish and animals gather from the upstream. Two giant crocodiles can hunt enough prey at the bottom of the lake, and they will not go ashore to hunt cannibals. Mountain people worship giant crocodiles as Lake gods. From time to time, they kill cattle and sheep and throw them into the lake. Both sides have been peaceful for so many years.

Even if the black towel thief occupied Juquan ridge, he didn't want to get rid of the two giants.

Seeing Chen Hai frowning at Juquan lake, Su Ling thought that with Chen Hai's spirit, the side of his bed would never allow monsters to lie dormant. He estimated that he wanted to find a way to lure those giant crocodiles ashore, but these giant crocodiles had been dormant in Juquan lake for some years. If they could be lured ashore to kill, it would not be a problem. She wanted to see what special means Chen Hai could have.

In the East, South and west of Juquan ridge, the mountains are continuous and undulating. Within the scope of vision, several streams flow out of the depths of the mountains and eventually flow into Tonghe river or Juquan lake.

In Juquan ridge, the Cao family, who first migrated over a long distance, was busy tidying up the Shizhai with the craftsmen and craftsmen in the herbalist garden, and the weeds half a person tall in front of the house were cleared away.

Not only did the Cao family move to juquanling, but Zhou Jingyuan led craftsmen and craftsmen to move west to meet Chen Hai. Naturally, the new foundry was directly built in juquanling

Juquanling was once occupied by black towel mountain bandits, and the leader of mountain bandits was also a man of cultivation. Chen Hai and his colleagues saw the remains of practice room, sutra room and other buildings in juquanling.

In the early years, this group of black towel thieves bewitched the people and plundered the countryside west of Tongbei mansion, which was deeply hated by the local people.

Tongbei prefecture has sent troops to suppress many times, but juquanling mountain is deep and dangerous, and the thief soldiers are well-trained and hurt many times. It was not until this time that juquanling got rid of the black towel mountain thieves along with the north side of the main rebel force.

Juquanling is said to be a dangerous mountain, but the official road is built to heifenggang, 60 miles away from juquanling, and the mountains from heifenggang to the West are rugged. Some mountain people open dangerous and remote paths, but they can't pass through for large numbers of soldiers and horses; There are giant crocodiles in Juquan lake, but ships can't come from Tonghe river.

Before the rebels withdrew to the north, most of the cities and villages in Tongbei prefecture were destroyed, but the mountain stronghold in juquanling was completely preserved.

Maybe the leader of this group of black scarf mountain thieves is reluctant to destroy the nest that has been entrenched for many years, or maybe he thinks that leaving the nest will not be used by the Xiyuan army; It is likely that they will be able to return to the offensive in a short time, which saves a lot of time and energy for the construction of the foundry and the westward movement of the Cao family.

From the scale of the school yard, barracks, martial arts hall and other buildings, it can be roughly seen that there were three or four thousand thieves in juquanling at its peak.

Before the black towel thieves occupied juquanling, several clans took root and multiplied here.

In addition to Juquan lake at the north foot, which is close to the water and deep waves, nearly 10000 mu of land has been opened up on the other three sides of the valley; There are traces of herb planting in the mountains, and even the remains of an iron mine in the back mountain. However, after the black towel thieves occupied it, the farmland, medicine field and iron mine near juquanling were abandoned, and even the mountains 40 or 50 miles around juquanling were uninhabited

All this provides great convenience for Chen hai to redevelop juquanling.

In addition to more than a hundred craftsmen, craftsmen and more than a thousand people such as the Cao family led by Zhou Jingyuan, Chen Hai also asked Wu Meng and Ge Tong to move their people to Tongbei and juquanling to settle down.

How to migrate and resettle more ethnic groups, recruit young people from the hungry people in Tongbei Prefecture, build roads, develop nearby mountains, forests and lakes, and even restart iron ore farms, logging farms and quarries are familiar to Cao Feng and Cao Shan's father and son. It does not need too much attention from Chen Hai, Wu Meng, Ge Tong, Ding Shuang, Zhou Jingyuan and other core figures.

Su Ling couldn't guess what Chen Hai was thinking. Giving up his military power said that he ignored world affairs and had to devote himself to hard cultivation. However, Chen Hai tried every means to capture juquanling and moved the Cao, Ding and GE people from thousands of miles to live in peace. Where did he look like ignoring world affairs?

But if Chen Hai wants to manage secular power, how can the three or five thousand ethnic groups gathered in Quanling keep up with the military power of the division of thirty or forty thousand tigers and wolves of the first battalion of the Xiyuan army?

Moreover, there is no contradiction or conflict between controlling the military power of the first battalion of the Xiyuan army and operating juquanling.

At this time, Chen Hai didn't even intervene in tongbeidachang. She stayed in Juquan mountain all day, which puzzled Su Ling. She thought that Chen Hai would give up the military power of the thirty or forty thousand tiger wolf division and not hold it in her hand. Do you think that the three or five thousand weak ordinary people can really make any tricks in the corner of Juquan mountain?

"I've been looking for you for a long time. Young Marquis and miss Ziling came here to see the scenery." Zhou Jingyuan picked up the steps and walked to the top of the mountain. Two craftsmen of the spirit setting followed him, handed a scroll in his hand and said, "we'll draw the sample pictures you want according to your instructions. If there's no problem, we'll try one or two to see the effect..."

Su Ling wants to know what the drawing is, but Chen Hai takes it, turns around slightly and turns away from her.

Although Zhou Jingyuan doesn't know the entangled relationship between Su Ling and Chen Hai, it involves core secrets and will never be disclosed to the eyes of others.

Su Ling has been around Chen Hai for a while. Naturally, she knows that Chen Hai stays in Juquan ridge. In addition to concentrating on cultivation, she mainly leads craftsmen and craftsmen to build a different mechanism chariot. She thinks this drawing is to build a core component of the mechanism chariot?

At juquanling, Chen Hai and his team immediately cleared out two foundry sites and one outfield. They used the existing cottage houses. At present, they are mainly responsible for the repair of ordinary soldiers' armour and war equipment; One is the infield, which is located in a cave on the hillside of juquanling. Usually, Zhou Jingyuan is directly responsible for it with the two craftsmen most trusted by Chen Hai. Irrelevant people are strictly prohibited to enter. It is impossible to approach.

Su Ling, even as Chen Hai's personal maid, is not qualified to enter the infield; The craftsmen in the infield were the first to follow Chen Hai and Zhou Jingyuan in Mengyi city.

Su Ling had no chance to go into the infield or peep into the drawings. Naturally, she didn't know what the mechanism chariot Chen Hai was going to build during this time.

Seeing Chen Hai's eyebrows frown slightly, and then looking at Zhou Jingyuan and the two craftsmen, Su Ling thought, is there any problem in the development of the mechanism chariot? The drawings drawn by Zhou Jingyuan and them can't satisfy Chen Hai?

When she was in Hexi, Su Ling really didn't see the role of Zhou Jingyuan in her eyes, but in recent years, Zhou Jingyuan has won Chen Hai's trust. She is over 40 years old and has even built a secret palace of Linghai. At this time, she even stepped into the middle of the spirit realm.

The two craftsmen who were in charge of the infield with Zhou Jingyuan also made great progress in cultivation in the past two years.

Su Ling used to feel that Chen Hai was really willing to spend money on Zhou Jingyuan, but at this time, she thought that Chen Hai even took out four Tongmai pills to help her improve her accomplishments. How could she treat Zhou Jingyuan's lineages badly?

Wu Meng and Ge Tong have even entered the spiritual realm, and they have the hope of opening up their ancestral orifices and understanding the sea.

In the past, this was almost impossible for the children of the Han nationality, such as Wu Meng and Ge Tong.

It's no wonder that Wu Meng, Zhou Jingyuan and other lineages are loyal to Chen Haizhong and die.

Of course, after Chen Hai's rise in Hexi, whether with the support of Chen lie or his repeated military achievements, he has enough cultivation resources, so that he can support his lineage department to improve his cultivation regardless of cost.

Su Ling doesn't know how many resources Chen Hai has even if she follows Chen Hai all day.

Sometimes she is also very strange. The rewards of war merit are detailed. Since Chen Hai is in charge of Tongbei warehouse, he can't have a bottom, but seeing Chen Hai's investment in juquanling these days, where does it look like a bottom?

Not only did Wu, Ge, Ding, Zhou, Qi and others improve their accomplishments very quickly, but juquanling, together with the Hu Wei left by Chen Hai in Dachang in the north of Tong, had more than 20 lineages above bilingjing; Even Shen Kun, who stayed in Yulong camp in Hexi, opened the Linghai secret palace years ago and successfully stepped into the spirit realm.

In the younger generation, Shen Xiu, the son of Shen Kun, and Zhou Qingyun, the daughter of Zhou Jingyuan, have outstanding qualifications. They are only 16 or 17 years old. They have also successfully entered the spiritual realm, which is no weaker than the legitimate children of the sect. However, the underlying reasons are inseparable from the full support of Chen Hai.

Shen Kun and his son Shen Xiu, as well as Zhou Qingyun and other teenagers, escorted relatives surnamed Ding and Ge to juquanling a few days ago. They also decided to stay in juquanling and help Chen Hai.

Think about it. When Chen liegang was granted the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion, there were only twenty or thirty direct departments of bilingjing available; Only two years later, Chen Hai, as a branch of the Marquis house of Zhaoyang Pavilion, has been called by 20 or 30 direct departments of bilingjing.
