384 Mountain Army (1/2)
At 10 AM, Ouyang Shuo ordered the officials in Yashan City to see him. He also announced the appointment of Tian Wenjing.
After Bai Nanpu completed the turnover, he would return to Shanhai City. Yashan City's training would become one of his greatest riches.
To show his support for Tian Wenjing, Ouyang Shuo did not move into the Town Hall. Instead, he stayed in the Lord's Manor. Although the town grade manor was shabby, it was still okay to stay in for a period of time.
Ouyang Shuo was not a person greedy for such enjoyments in life.
When he walked into the Lord's Manor, Sun Xiaoyue, Linjing, and Qing Sikou were all coincidentally there.
When she saw the four Guards behind Ouyang Shuo, Lin Jing teased, ”Stupid brat, you’re getting more and more powerful!”
When Ouyang Shuo heard these words, he could only keep silent. After all, she was his elder. Deep in his heart, he kind of enjoyed this teasing. As his position and power increased, there were very little people who would dare to treat him in such a manner.
It was cold when you were so high up.
When Qing Sikou saw their exchange, she felt that it was really interesting. The Lianzhou Lord that everyone looked at highly was just a little boy being mocked.
Ouyang Shuo asked the Guards to step down. Then, he sat opposite his little aunt, ”Have you all passed through the South Mountain Cave yet?”
”Soon!”
Lin Jing frowned when she thought about this issue.
The exploration in these two weeks had really been an unforgettable experience. After all, the three guilds had taken turns. They were far different from the Blood Evil Mercenary Group, who had entered all by themselves.
Although two months had passed, they still had not fully explored the cave. However, from her words, the exploration had reached a crucial moment.
In a week, they would pass the cave if nothing went wrong.
Who would claim the riches was still unknown.
Although the three guilds were allies, in this exploration, they were competing against one another. Their exploration progress was kept a secret from one another.
He saw that her expression seemed really confident.
The reason why Ouyang Shuo paid attention to the exploration speed was because it concerned his plans.
He could officially open up to adventure gamemode players the moment they completed the exploration. The first batch of players would mainly be members of the three guilds. Apart from them, small teams would also be picked.
The Black Snake Guards and the Military Intelligence Division would set up an intel station here at the same time. This would strengthen their control over Yashan City and allow them to monitor every move in the city.
Ouyang Shuo turned and looked at Qing Sikou. He smiled and asked, ”Guild leader Qing, are you okay here in Yazhou?”
After he had tried so hard to move Thread into Yazhou, this lord had come around one month later. It did not feel right.
Qing Sikou did not mind and nodded her head, ”It's much better than I expected.”
Thread had taken root in Yazhou. Using the resources that she had gathered in Jingdou, they had invested in numerous workshops and shops in Yashan City. Outside the city, they had also opened up four manors and two farms.
Their investments in Yashan City was even crazier than the Chamber of Commerces.
The ten thousand members left in Thread were not only loyal, but they were also intermediate rank and above. This just happened to nicely fill up the gap of talented individuals in Yashan City.
The current Thread was a power in Yashan City that could not be underestimated.
As for rare resources, they bought these from the elite groups or from the headquarters of the three guilds. As Yashan City started to grow more open to the public, rare resources would not be a problem anymore.
Thread was on the road to being reborn.
Even though she had talked to Ouyang Shuo before, Qing Sikou was still expressionless. This woman definitely would not reveal her thoughts and feelings to people easily.
Her coldness was a level higher than Bai Hua’s.
Oddly enough, she actually became close friends with Sun Xiaoyue.
Sun Xiaoyue was not ready to move before Yashan City was built. Leading the construction of a city gave her a huge sense of achievement.
Naturally, Sun Xiaoyue would not speak any words of thanks toward him.
A tacit understanding had formed between the two of them.
In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo headed for the Tiger Legion camp.
Since Yashan City had already gotten on the right path, in addition to Tian Wenjing taking charge, Ouyang Shuo would not interfere too much. The only thing that worried him was the clearing of the aboriginals.
For the minute details, he needed to discuss with Sun Bin face-to-face.
Sun Bin was a master of formations. He had built up the main base of the Tiger Legion with well with hidden formations. In the camp, apart from the troops that were sent out to clear the aboriginals, the remaining trained in the fields.
The whole army camp, apart from the sounds of training, lacked any other sound.
Sun Bin's strict rule was evident.
On the way to the commander's tent, Ouyang Shuo met a young soldier and nearly bumped into him.
The soldier was holding a sack of potatoes that weighed around fifty kilograms. It looked like he was about to feed the horses in the stables. He effortlessly carried the huge sack.
Maybe because he was in a rush, but he did not see Ouyang Shuo.
”Who dares to bump into the lord!”
The guard took out his blade and wanted to take down the soldier.
Ouyang Shuo raised his head. The soldier was only around seventeen to eighteen years old. His skin was slightly tan. He was really tall but exceptionally strong like a leopard.
