Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 286 Extra Flower Cloud City (Part )
Apart from Tianyao's workers, the Pei family army soldiers had nothing to do recently after the war.

After Han Ruize and Shao Liran agreed, a large number of Pei family army soldiers also rushed to assist in the construction.

Pei Nai and Gu Jinheng distributed land to the soldiers. After the soldiers participated in the city construction, they could build houses independently on the land allocated to each person.

The vast majority of Pei’s army soldiers wanted to settle down here and bring their families over.

This place is close to Pei’s army’s new base, and it is also convenient to go home during holidays.

Moreover, with Gu Jinheng's personal soldiers guarding the place and General Pei also living here, how could the whole city dare to be invaded by foreign thieves? It couldn't be safer.

The most important thing is that although Pei Nai resigned from the military, she means too much to the Pei family army. Being able to settle down on her fiefdom is a comfort to all the Pei family soldiers.

Pei Nai and Gu Jinheng also set aside a part of the soldiers' residential area to accommodate the families of the martyrs of the Pei Family Army. While respecting their wishes, the Pei Family Army and Gu Jinheng borne the costs of building houses and relocating the brigade.

It was also after the end of the Battle of Zhudian that Han Ruize and his colleagues calculated the military expenditures over the years, and combined with Pei Nai's verification of the income and expenditure of Pei's various industries, they discovered that there were discrepancies in the amount of pensions for the martyrs' families.

After investigation, Pei Nai and Han Ruize found out that in the past eleven years, the families of the soldiers who died in the Battle of Chishan and the Battle of Yagu, in addition to receiving regular pensions from the government and Pei's assets, also received another regular pension.

This additional pension came from the Duke Duan Ding's Mansion and was borne by Gu Jinheng personally.

Because it was always paid together with the pensions from the government and the Pei family, only a few generals of the Pei family army knew the inside story.

Gu Jinheng never cared about his reputation and didn't need others' thanks.

He just wanted to do his best to compensate the dead soldiers on her behalf after Pei Nai's "death".

Han Ruize did not reject his kindness, but when the pension was distributed the following month, he asked Si Xun and local officials to emphasize the source of the extra pension so that the families of the martyrs of the Pei family army could learn the truth.

In addition to the soldiers of the Pei family army and the families of martyrs, there were also many girls rescued by Pei Nai from the Wu tribe's shrine, who arrived at Huayun Village alone or with their families.

Many residents from Tianyao and Qilu also came here, wanting to become new residents of Huayun City.

The people of Qilu did not even need to change their nationality when they moved here, because half of Huayun City belonged to Qilu and was Pei Nai's fiefdom.

The original Huayun Village has not been demolished and will be preserved as an ancient village on the outskirts of the new Huayun City. The villagers will also be allocated plots of land in the city according to their family circumstances and can build their own houses.

The construction of Huayun City had just begun, but a camping area more than ten miles long had already been set up on the outskirts, all of which were for people who came to participate in the construction and wanted to settle down here.

Pei Nai and Gu Jinheng did not accept all of them either.

Gu Jinheng's subordinates listed a set of evaluation criteria based on skills, achievements, contributions to the motherland, health, criminal record, etc.

Except for the soldiers of the Pei family army and Gu Jinheng's personal soldiers, except for the girls and their families who were given special places by Pei Nai, other families must pass this set of evaluation indicators before they can be allowed to settle down.

But no matter what, everyone can be sure that this will become a city that embraces multiple races and nationalities.

After the war ended, countries opened up and prospered.

The area of Huayun City is located between the east and west borders, and belongs to the territories of Tianyao and Qilu, making it very suitable for trade.

Gu Jinheng, Xiao Mingyi, Da Xian and others agreed to start from Huayun City and prepare to build canals and official roads. They also asked all countries to cooperate in order to completely open up the trade routes of the countries in the east and west.

Commercial taxes will also be paid separately to the two countries, which will also boost trade in other small countries and promote prosperity in various industries.

Xiao Mingyi had no objection, but Da Xian was very supportive.

Even Da Xian immediately planned a canal route from Mixiang to Huayun City, and construction has now started.

When Gu Jinheng found out about this, he was so angry that he used his Qi to start a fire and burned the memorial.

Pei Nai was laughing so hard beside him and asked him what was wrong?
Gu Jinheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "He just thinks that now that the route has been repaired, taking a boat can save time and make it more convenient for him to come and see you."

Pei Nai was overjoyed and said with a smile: "You understand him."

Gu Jinheng's face turned even darker.

Pei Nai then stopped laughing and went over to comfort him.

Before the hero's tomb on the outskirts of Huayun City was about to be rebuilt, Han Ruize, Shao Liran and others returned to Huayun City.

Han Ruize even went to Guo Min's burial place along the way to transport his coffin and remains.

There was no other reason, Pei Nai and Han Ruize both felt that the Shanyin Sect area was creepy.

The Heroes' Tomb was built on the basis of the Martyrs' Cemetery of the Battle of Yunxuan, and a monument was also erected for the heroes of the Battle of Zhudian. There is no reason for Guo Min's body to be buried outside.

Pei Nai approved and supported the relocation of Guo Min's grave.

But when Han Ruize came back and prepared to go north with Gu Jinheng to find Pei Nai's remains and transport them back for reburial, Pei Nai was dumbfounded.

She protested, but to no avail.

Gu Jinheng has always been concerned about Pei Nai's remains left outside, it seems like a thorn in his heart.

Han Ruize also felt uneasy. He buried Pei Nai in the mountains to protect him from Gu Jinheng.

Now it was useless to defend, so it would be better to retrieve her body and bury her in the Heroes' Cemetery. Before leaving, Da Xian finally got around and rushed to Huayun City.

He originally came to see the site of the palace, but when he heard that Han Ruize's mansion in Huayun City was planned to be next to Pei Nai's residence, and even next to Pei Nai and Gu Jinheng's mansion, Da Xian was unhappy.

He came here specifically to arrange for the palace to be located near Pei Nai's future residence.

By the way, let's go see Pei Nai.

After arguing for a whole morning, we finally decided on the division.

That neighborhood will be where the members of the Alliance live in the future.

People like Huyan Weizhao and his daughter, Qu Qianshou, Du Ling, Lin Shengtao and others will settle here in the future. Everyone has an independent house and will be near Pei Nai and others.

Although Shao Liran has a general's mansion in Chaoyang and Da Xi Shangle also has a princess's mansion in Mixiang, Da Xi Shangle is unfamiliar with the place and not used to it in Chaoyang, and Shao Liran will also be stationed at the border for a long time in the future.

For both of them, settling down in Huayun City became the best choice.

After all, it is close to Pei’s army’s base and has not left Qilu.

There are many Qilu people here, and Da Xi is happy to stay here and it is also convenient for him to return to Mixiang.

Shao Liran and Da Xi Shangle have not yet married, but in order to make early preparations, they can build their respective houses together and connect them after the marriage.

Gongyang Zisheng and Zhong Lin also have residences in Huayun City, which were selected by Da Xian and Han Ruize respectively. As long as the allied team gathers, they will rush over.

As for Pei Nai and Gu Jinheng's mansion, it was eventually merged with Han Ruize and Da Xian's mansions.

Gu Jinheng was unwilling, but this block happened to be within Pei Nai's fiefdom and was considered Qi Lu's territory.

Gu Jinheng had no right to interfere with where Da Xian decided to build the "temporary palace".

If one looks down from the sky, their three houses form a square. Pei Nai and Gu Jinheng's houses occupy the upper half of the square, and the other half is equally divided into the territories of Da Xian and Han Ruize.

They finalized the plan for the residence in the morning and finally calmed Gu Jinheng down. In the afternoon, Gu Jinheng, Han Ruize and others prepared to set off.

Da Xian was not in a hurry to return to Mixiang for the time being, but insisted on going with us.

Han Ruize brought a camel, saying that only with the camel leading the way could they find the place where Pei Nai was buried.

Pei Nai finally asked the question in her mind, "Has this camel been stolen before?"

Han Ruize shook his head.

Pei Nai continued, "Then how did Senior Zhong dig out my tree fragments?"

"I'm also wondering, can the users of your Hunshu slices have a sense of each other?" Han Ruize asked back.

Pei Nai denied, "That shouldn't be the case. Is it because I am too inexperienced?"

Confused, they traveled for a long time and even spent a night outside. At noon the next day, they finally found Pei Nai's previous burial place.

They dug up the soil and opened the coffin lid.

When the bones and armor inside were revealed, Gu Jinheng's hands were shaking.

After Elder Zhong took out her tree pieces, he arranged the other parts as they were and buried them back.

Pei Nai looked at the situation inside the coffin and shouted, "Han Ruize! Can't you put some burial objects when you bury me? How can you be so stingy!"

Han Ruize glared at her and said speechlessly: "I can't find burial objects for you in this lonely mountain. A coffin is good enough."

Han Ruize's expression was still normal, but Gu Jinheng and Da Xian looked at her corpse with extremely solemn expressions.

Gu Jinheng even had to hold her hand to ease his emotions.

Then he knelt down, leaned in, and hugged Pei Nai's bones. At this moment, his straight spine almost bent a lot.

Pei Nai was very confused, with mixed feelings in her heart, and asked: "Hey, I'm here, why are you so sad?"

Gu Jinheng put down her remains, his eyes still filled with red.

Pei Nai looked at Da Xian with the same sad expression, and her eyes widened even more. "When I used this body, you didn't seem to know me. What's the difference between you and crying for a stranger?"

"You can't understand." Daxian refuted her.

Pei Nai was too lazy to argue anymore. "Okay, I'll go walk around and revisit the old place."

"Nell!"

"No more bad words!" Gu Jinheng and Han Ruize's voices rang out at the same time.

Pei Nai: "."
