dragon city

After Zhuge Liang received the news that the team escorting slaves was approaching Sais City, he quickly arranged for Lu Su in Sais City to take over. After crossing Hengduo, the Dragon City army would completely take over the escort of the team.

A spectacular stone bridge has been built across the Hengduan River at this time.

At first, Zhou Yunfei felt that it was too troublesome to transport the people by ferry every time they crossed the river, so he summoned a large number of craftsmen to build the bridge across the river. After nearly half a year of construction, it was completed.

The wide stone bridge spans the river, and everyone who sees it for the first time is filled with emotion.

After Lu Su received Zhuge Liang's order, Xu Sheng's army, which came with the team, completely took over the team.

After the transaction with the slave merchants is completed, all the armed forces that do not belong to Dragon City will be detained in Seth City.

Pat Lancelot and his Phantom Knights wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the mysterious Dragon City, but to no avail. Depressed, they had to return the way they came.

Since Dragon City had hoarded a large amount of food in Sais City in advance, when the 60,000 slaves arrived, these slaves who had traveled a long distance from the Noer Empire had enough food for the first time! No matter what the future holds, at least they are now in their hearts

I am still very grateful to this Dragon City that bought me.

The slave team that stayed in Sais City for a few days, after arrangements, crossed the Hengduan River in batches and set foot on the mysterious Dragon City territory.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was leading his men to pick up the arriving slaves at the Acropolis.

This large influx of slaves put the entire Dragon City into intense work. A large number of citizens were recruited to help manage the arriving slaves.

Those who possess special skills among the slaves will be screened out and they will be directly promoted to civilians. A large number of mature men will be issued temporary slave certificates and rush to various farms, mines, and shops that are urgently needed in the Dragon City territory to replace the vacancies of the citizen class.

A large number of locations.

The remaining family members were arranged together and held slave certificates to wait for the day when they would be converted into civilians.

After several arrangements, this time the slaves were continuously diverted and digested by Dragon City society. The number of citizens in Dragon City now has reached more than 30,000, and it is still rising rapidly, with nearly 1,000 people produced every month.

citizens.

After nearly a month of busy arrangements, Zhuge Liang and others finally relaxed, and the tight nerves in Longcheng also relaxed. After Zhugeliang finished handling all the matters, he notified Zhou Yunfei who was far away in the imperial capital. Zhou Yunfei learned that everything was normal in Longcheng.

, took a long breath.

Zhou Yunfei had been very worried about accepting slaves this time, worried that the arriving slaves would bring unpredictable trouble to the entire Dragon City. Fortunately, everything was safe.

Zhou Yunfei felt relieved and knew that the time had come for Longcheng to develop rapidly. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhou Yunfei would be able to double the current strength of Longcheng in just one year! A large number of labor forces will drive the development of a large amount of agricultural land, and

Using Dragon City's advanced farming methods, the food production in one year will be self-sufficient and it will once again accept a large number of refugees! And the rich population will bring about a significant increase in the number of citizens, and Dragon City's military strength will also further increase! Everything

All are healthy developments, getting stronger and stronger!

However, Zhou Yunfei is not ready to continue the violent attack yet. Now is the time when Dragon City is developing rapidly, and a large number of citizens are needed to lead the civilians and slaves. So Zhou Yunfei has no choice but to wait.

He took a sip of tea, and the rich fragrance hit his face, "It's good tea, but the person who makes the tea is better." Zhou Yunfei said with a smile, looking at the beautiful woman who always accompanied him.

When Diao Chan heard this, she slightly rolled her eyes at the idle person. Ever since the hunting party ended, that person had been hiding in the house because of his slight health condition. He looked like an otaku.

However, this is also a helpless approach for someone. Faced with a large number of invitations, one must not be selective in participating, because it is easy to offend many people unknowingly, so Zhou Yunfei rejected them all with a wave of his hand, even though this would

It gives the outside world an unsociable view, but as long as you don't offend anyone casually, everyone will know it.

But for today's invitation, Zhou Yunfei had to go. The reason was simple. The eldest prince, on behalf of the royal family, invited Zhou Yunfei to the palace to attend the royal dinner.

Yes, today's private banquet for the entire royal family, and the other three princes have also returned to the imperial capital. Even the old emperor, who has not appeared for a long time, will also attend. Simply put, it is a family gathering, but Zhou Yunfei, an outsider, has been invited. This is very strange.

Makes it worth considering.

"It seems that the old emperor is really dying. I'm afraid this time is the so-called return of light. This imperial capital is about to become a place of right and wrong. I have to prepare early." Zhou Yunfei looked at the gold-inlaid invitation in his hand and thought about it.

With.

After Zhou Yunfei was dressed neatly, the royal courtesy officers led him into the royal inner courtyard.

Zhou Yunfei, who met Emperor Bywister for the first time, found that just as he expected, the old emperor's complexion turned yellow, his eyes were deeply sunken, and he looked like he was about to die.

After the ceremony, Zhou Yunfei also met the two people beside the third prince.

The tall man with a serious face is the rumored fourth prince, who is currently the deputy leader of the Knights of the Rose. He is indeed a good-looking person.

The person next to him who was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a smile on his face was probably the second prince. No wonder I felt that there was always a conspiracy hidden in his smile.

During the dinner, Zhou Yunfei also met several concubines from the royal family, but to an outsider like him, except for the third prince's mother, Yuna's aunt, who nodded slightly, the other concubines ignored him. Want to come to him?

It's not even in their eyes.

This dinner was extremely boring. The strict royal etiquette and the silent dining table made someone feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, Diao Chan had taught him a series of aristocratic etiquette before, so there were no jokes.

The old emperor just ate a little, and then he was helped by the guards to leave. The dinner table after that made people feel that it was more like a battlefield, with all kinds of sword-like eyes and cold smiles that made people tremble.

shock.

After the dinner party was finally over, the four imperial concubines left one after another, leaving only the four princes and someone making soy sauce in the hall.

After all the guards and maids around them retreated, the four princes all looked at the wine glasses in their hands in silence.

After a long time, the eldest prince sighed slightly.

"I don't know when we brothers became so estranged. Haha, it's a joke to the earl." The eldest prince said with wandering eyes.

"Brother Emperor, weren't you the one who forced us to leave the imperial capital in the first place? But now you say this in a pretentious manner, haha." There was a hint of resentment in the smiling eyes of the second prince.

The fourth prince in the corner turned his head away with disdain, while the third prince stared silently at the wine glass in his hand.

Zhou Yunfei looked at the four people with interest. In fact, essentially, he, an outsider, could not listen to the prince's conversation casually, but the four princes did not care. It was precisely because Zhou Yunfei was one of the few neutral people in the empire.

Several powerful nobles wanted to make friends with him in order to gain his support. Therefore, they did not regard him as an outsider.

Zhou Yunfei also knew that his position in the hearts of the four was very important, so he was happy to watch the confrontation between them.

"Second brother, it's not what I want to do as the eldest brother. I really can't help myself. I'm afraid any one of the three of you would do this." The eldest prince continued to say quietly, his helpless tone showing that he was now

The truth doesn't seem like a lie.

Hearing the eldest prince's sincere words, the other three princes couldn't help but fell into deep thought. They remembered the play between brothers, the coquettish behavior with their father, and being punished together after sneaking out, etc.

Everything is as far away as a lifetime ago. Since when did they plot against each other's brothers, and when did they not hesitate to kill each other for that position.

Zhou Yunfei looked at the four brothers who were deep in thought and sighed inconspicuously. The cruelty of the royal family has been around since ancient times and has never stopped and will continue to happen in the future.

"I wonder if my descendants will be like this after I become emperor in the future. Alas, let's talk about the future later." Zhou Yunfei thought silently.

a long time.

The third prince let out a long sigh. He was the one who suffered the most misfortune among the four brothers. He once hated them, but now he can't hate them. After all, the connection in the blood will always be

They couldn't make up their minds. Even the eldest prince who had hurt him many times had never really thought about killing him and the three of them. He had many opportunities, but in the end he gave up. It was that trace of intolerance

, the cause of the current chaos in the empire.

Today, the three imperial brothers all returned to the imperial capital, but when the eldest prince wanted to ruthlessly get rid of them, he found that the strength of the three no longer allowed him to do so.

"Come on, come on, no matter whether the four of us brothers will fight to the death or not from today on. Today! We are just four half-brothers. We will never return until we are drunk!" The eldest prince stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said to the three people who were meditating.

"Okay! Today is the last gathering of the four of us brothers! After today, each of us will use his own methods! Come! You will not come back until you are drunk!" The second prince also stood up and said after hearing this.

"Do it!" The fourth prince said nothing and drank the wine in his hand directly!

"Eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother. Today's wine is our last brotherly love! Do it!" The third prince also drank it all in one gulp.

In this way, Zhou Yunfei watched from the corner as the four of them drank in silence, slowly turned into respecting each other, and finally, the four of them hugged each other, drinking while laughing and crying.

The four of them completely ignored Zhou Yunfei in the corner. Zhou Yunfei watched the four of them venting to their heart's content and drinking cup after cup. Accompanied by laughter and crying, Zhou Yunfei gradually became confused and finally fell asleep on the table.

The next morning, Zhou Yunfei woke up in a daze, looked around, and rubbed his stiff neck vigorously.

Just as he turned his head, the hungover fourth prince woke up first. He looked at the other three princes, stood up slowly, nodded slightly towards Zhou Yunfei, and strode away. But the figure looked lonely and slow from the beginning.

Slowly becoming firmer.

Shortly after the fourth prince left, the second prince also woke up and stood still. He looked at the eldest prince, the third prince and the empty seats at the table. He slowly turned around, walked to Zhou Yunfei, and patted his shoulder.

, strode away.

The third prince woke up for the third time. Facing the eldest prince and the vacant seat in front of him, he sighed, nodded to Zhou Yunfei, and turned around and walked away firmly.

After the three princes left, the eldest prince who was lying on the table opened his eyes, raised his head and looked at the open door, as if he was looking for something. But in the end he wiped away the remaining tears on his face, and his eyes gradually became firm.
Chapter completed!
