Zhao Xiaonian inspected the streets of Hexi Fort.

People are in a hurry.

Those who should leave have left, and those who do not leave have also begun to act.

Dig a pit and erect a pile.

Zhao Hu led a man over.

This is a man with an ugly appearance. After seeing Zhao Xiaonian, he knelt on the ground with his fists and said in emotion: "Master, the young man is willing to work hard for you, just say, what do you want the young man to do?"

Look at this man in gray, who was sloppy and although he was not good-looking, he was Huang Yulang's subordinate. After something happened before, Huang Yulang hid, and they seemed to have no roots, running away and dispersed. This ugly man didn't run because he knew that it was useless to run away because no one would ask him. Moreover, his parents were seriously ill and should not travel far, so he couldn't rest, so he stayed to die in the end.

Seeing him like this, he looked at Zhao Hu with inquiring eyes.

Zhao Xiaonian asked the man: "How are your parents?"

The man couldn't help but be grateful, and he almost cried with his face tense. He swallowed and squirted, cleared his throat and replied, "Report to the Lord of Fortress, the medicine you gave is really effective. They are all cured. The villain is grateful! In the past, the villain had no choice but to work hard for Huang Yulang! Without the money he gave, the villain had no way to survive! The Lord of Fortress did not grudge and saved my parents. I know that the Lord of Fortress must let the villain do your business for you! I, Zhou Dawu, will definitely die!"

Um……

He ordered him to get up and accompany him, and walked along the road in the fort. Zhao Xiaonian gave him instructions and walked along the way. Zhou Dawu nodded repeatedly and said that he would do whatever he wanted.

Then, he came to his house and put 500 taels of silver in his old father's hands.

Zhou Dawu's eyes were flowing, and he clasped his fists and swore.

"Master, don't worry, the things you arranged are the smallest, and I will do it for you even if you die!"

Immediately, Zhou Dawu returned to the house to change his clothes, clasped his fists and left.

There must be a brave man under heavy rewards. Maybe he saves his parents' lives. He is a filial son and will be grateful, but it is not enough to make him work hard. But these 500 taels are enough to make his parents' lives without worries about food and clothing...

When he walked out of the Zhou family's house, Zhang Long still felt it was unreliable. He followed Zhao Xiaonian and went to a secluded place to hold him: "We are betting on him, if he betrays us..."

Zhao Xiaonian shook his head and explained: "First of all, his parents are in our hands. If he dares to betray us, he knows very well what the consequences of his parents will be. Moreover, he will give a lot of money..."

"Money can't buy everything. He followed Huang Yulang. Now he will betray him if he says he will betray him!" Zhang Long was a little uneasy.

It is not easy to trust a person completely, it is just a check and balance. Zhao Xiaonian explained: "All my promises in Hexi Fort have been fulfilled, the fields, the toilets, and the repairs have been made. Nothing should be done is done. Isn't it done? It is not about taking the title of a clean official, or making the people understand in their hearts that I am doing things for them, not to squeeze them. This is the difference between me and Huang Yulang. As for whether they believe it, this is not something I can control."

...

"At least, Huang Yulang hasn't done anything for them in Hexi Fort over the years. They are afraid of Huang Yulang, and hope for me. For fear, when they want to stand up, they will turn into anger, and when they want to stand up, they will turn into relying on them."

Zhao Xiaonian pointed to the militia working hard in the distance: "In the past, they wouldn't have worked for Huang Yulang, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Long could only nodded nervously.

"There are also backup plans." Zhao Xiaonian rubbed the back of his head and said casually: "It's no big deal. At most, don't you get rid of me like last time?"

“…”

"Last time is different from this time! We are the ones who provoked us first!" Zhang Long reminded?

"?" Zhao Xiaonian, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhang Long carefully: "He was right to hit me? I ignored him if I got him? Interesting! What is he? A group of bandits! I provoked him? I should kill him! Why is it different? Could anyone else be on the Wolong Ridge?"

This sentence made Zhang Long stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Xiaonian blankly.

Slap...

Zhao Xiaonian patted Zhang Long on the shoulder meaningfully, then turned around and left.

...

The entire Hexi Fort started digging, some were digging secret passages, some were digging traps, and some were digging treasure holes.

Zhao Xiaonian inspected the main streets and arranged for everyone to build them as soon as possible.

Not only the streets are sorted, some roads are sealed with revolving blocks, and some houses are pushed, opening up a new road.

It was supposed to be a relatively troublesome job to do these jobs, but by chance, I used to repair toilets and fortifications, leaving a lot of tools and materials, and now I just used them.

Until the afternoon of working, Zhao Xiaonian directed the construction and everyone followed the orders. Later, everyone realized that the lord of his house was a genius!

"The Castle Lord... Everyone got lost, I don't know how I got out!"

"Come on!" Zhao Xiaonian summoned everyone and then pointed to the Immortal Tower. "As long as you follow the direction of the Immortal Tower, you can walk all the way to the Immortal Tower."

"Ah?" Everyone was worried: "Then, you can't just go to the fairy tower, right?"

"Well, yes, look at the landmarks," Zhao Xiaonian pointed to the snow-capped mountains in the distance again: "Isn't it the snow-capped mountains of Lianhua Mountain over there? That's the south. Walk along the south and you'll reach the Xiacheng District?"

"Oh! It makes sense!" These guys understood.

A young man asked, "Master, if you go to your house, how can you leave?"

"Come on!" Zhao Xiaonian stretched out his hand and shouted loudly: "This maze is very simple. The center point is on the street of the Fairy Tower. No matter where you go, you have to pass the Fairy Tower first to go. So, if you go to the fort, then go to the Fairy Tower first, then look at the direction of the two arrow towers and follow it up. Isn't it just going to the fort?"

"Oh! So that's it." Everyone laughed and praised: "The Castle Lord is a maze!"

"Yes, let the bandits come and they can't figure out the direction. When they walk inside, they will fall into the trap and all die? This is called waiting for their work!" Zhao Xiaonian thought for a while, and added: "In the past, Zhuge Liang had an Eight Formation Map! You know, the military ranks also have the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation! Do you know what I am?"

"What?"

"Spiral Maze!"

"oh!"

Everyone couldn't help but say oh, and they understood.

To be honest, if you don’t understand anything else, you will understand if you add a spiral.

Just take more detours and you can get through.

Then, everyone went back to rest according to the assignment.

...

At night, Zhao Xiaonian stood on the immortal tower and watched the situation in the fort, where he could see the scenery in the entire fort.

In the quiet alley below, two figures were moving quickly. They circled around and finally reached the gate of Hexi Fort. They tacitly understood and turned a cat's waist out.

Then it quickly disappeared into the night.

All this did not escape Zhao Xiaonian's eyes.

He looked at the two figures with his hands coldly on his back, and then ordered: "Dropping this building!"

"yes!"
Chapter completed!
