The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 40: City Wall Completed

Three days later, in the imperial study at the Guicheng Palace, Zixuan looked at the secret letter that Prince Guang had secretly sent to her, and a wave of gratitude suddenly surged in her heart.

This brother is really good, it's worth it. He is really devoted to me and loves me wholeheartedly.

So she secretly told herself that she must take good care of this little brother in the future.

After reading the letter, he gently placed it on the table and curled his lips.

He then said disdainfully, "King Qi, with your tens of thousands of troops, you still think you can come back to the city and fight me?"

"Haha, the current Laizi Kingdom is no longer the same Laizi Kingdom as before!"

"If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao, forbidding me from encroaching on the lands beyond my fiefdom, I would have led my men to annihilate your Qi State."

"Even if I can't kill you now, I will still teach you a lesson. I will definitely let you experience how powerful I am! Humph!"

As she was thinking, the voice of Ji Lao Da came into her mind: "My king, Qi Jiu is back and said that the city wall is complete."

Zixuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately slipped into the space. Qijiu greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, the walls and moat within the Guicheng fiefdom are now complete."

"The water in the moat has also been successfully diverted. Please inspect it, Your Majesty, and grant the city a name!"

Zixuan smiled and nodded: "Old Ji, Old Qi, you did a good job. I will give you a credit!"

After hearing this, the two men bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please give the city a name!"

Good! Zixuan folded his elbows, propped his chin with his fists, and walked back and forth several times.

I pondered in my heart: What should I call this fiefdom city? Is it still called Guicheng? No, the capital is already called Guicheng, and there can't be another name. What should I call it?

As she walked, her eyes lit up and she suddenly stopped.

Didn’t God allow me to come to ancient times to enjoy wealth and glory?

The name of this city is... (rich, noble, city) Yes, it is called Fugui City.

Thinking of this, she happily said to the two of them, "I've made up my mind. From now on, the fiefdom of Lai State will be called Fugui City!"

Wealthy City? After hearing this, the two of them thought about it carefully and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, Your Majesty, this name is good, Wealthy City, it sounds noble and grand!"

Well, Zixuan nodded and said: "Boss Ji, order people to carve this name above each city gate."

"The three characters 'Fuguicheng' must be plated in gold, and the font must be elegant and beautiful."

"Also, all the city gates and towers are plated with gold."

"The wealthy city that the outside world sees should be bright and golden."

"The first visual impression is that Fugui City is a city built of gold!"

"Hehe, I want to turn my fiefdom into a glittering golden city!"

The two of them responded in unison: "Okay, okay, I obey your command!"

Zixuan turned his gaze to Boss Ji again: "Boss Ji, how many soldiers have been sent out to repair the city wall?"

"Your Majesty, a total of twelve million has been released."

"Well, Lao Ji, let's put it this way: leave four million soldiers to guard the city, with one million at each of the four gates."

"All soldiers should change into the uniforms of Laizi soldiers. Their clothes and helmets must be bulletproof."

"Each person is equipped with a laser gun, a spear, a broadsword, a crossbow, and a dagger."

"Make sure you have enough crossbows and arrows. The remaining eight million soldiers should all be returned to the space."

"Also, all city gates must be equipped with surveillance cameras to strictly screen those entering and leaving."

"Any items that have never appeared in this world cannot be taken out of the city!"

Qi Jiu replied, "Your Majesty, all the surveillance cameras at the city gates and on the city walls have been installed. All we need to do is arm the soldiers."

"Very good, let's go and take a look at the southwest city wall. I heard that the King of Qi sent 50,000 troops to stop the construction of the city wall. I wonder if they have arrived yet."

In the governor's mansion in Donglai County, a border town of Qi State, the governor Xu Tu was pacing back and forth anxiously in the room.

He kept looking out the door, as if waiting for someone.

A few minutes later, a clerk ran in hurriedly from outside the door.

Xu Tu grabbed the man's arm and asked, "How is the wall being built?"

"My lord, this is bad. The city wall has encircled Donglai County and is now within Guicheng's territory. The wall was completed an hour ago."

"Now, the gates leading to Qi are closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. I can't get any news from outside the city."

It's over! After hearing this, Xu Tu sat down on the ground and asked, "Has there been any imperial edict from Linzi?"

The clerk quickly replied, "Sir, I haven't seen any imperial edict."

"What should I do? If Princess Xuan rebels, I will be dead!"

"Sir, don't be afraid. The total number of soldiers capable of fighting in Laizi's country is less than 20,000."

"And our Donglai County currently has 10,000 soldiers guarding the city, plus several thousand runners in the county, township, and town government offices."

"It's not a bad idea to fight the Lai army. It's better than just sitting there and waiting to be killed!"

After hearing this, Xu Tu pondered for a moment and said to the clerk, "Okay, this is the only way now."

"Send a notice immediately and have all the county, township, and town officials, including the servants of the wealthy families, guard the courtyard."

"Everyone gather on the city wall of Donglai County. No one is allowed to act rashly without my order!"

"Yes," the clerk agreed and ran out. Fugui City, under the southwest city wall.

Zixuan, Ji Lao Da and Qi Jiu, led by thirteen maids and guards, took the elevator and ascended to the hundred-meter-high city wall.

As soon as the maids got off the elevator, they started vomiting violently.

When Zixuan saw this, he immediately understood that the person was suffering from elevator sickness.

So she asked the machine boss to take out a bottle of small pills and give one to each person.

After a few minutes, everyone returned to normal.

Zixuan stood on the high city wall and looked around. The scenery within a radius of ten miles was in sight.

The city road is very wide, and two trucks can easily drive in opposite directions. There are small shooting holes on the battlements on the wall.

Every fifty meters, there is a covered corridor for shelter from the sun and rain.

Craftsmen were applying gold paint to the city gates and gate towers.

When the defenders inside the city walls saw Zixuan, they all knelt down, clasped their fists, and shouted, "Your Majesty, we greet you!"

The loud and high-pitched voice soared into the sky.

Zixuan looked at the robot soldiers and nodded with satisfaction: "Stand up, everyone, thank you for your hard work!"

Another loud shout made her ears buzz: "Thank you for your hard work, my king!"

At this time, the machine boss pulled a soldier over and said to her, "My king, please take a look at their equipment. Are you satisfied?"

Zixuan looked the soldier up and down and saw that the soldier was wearing a bulletproof helmet with a red infant gun tip on it.

He was wearing dark green bulletproof chain mail, holding a spear in his hand, a broadsword on his waist, and a crossbow on his back.

She asked a little puzzledly: "Old machine, why don't I see the laser gun?"

The boss chuckled and said, "My lord, how come you forgot again...that?"

"Hey, when you made your wish, didn't you ask for the robot to have its own weapons?"

"They have laser guns on their left arms and electric guns on their right arms. They can shoot the enemy at any time with just a command."

"They are all equipped with automatic positioning systems, and every shot has a 100% hit rate!"

"Wow! Old Machine! So powerful! It seems that equipping them with these cold weapons is unnecessary!"

"Your Majesty, you can't say that. In this era we live in, if we can avoid using firearms, we should do our best."

"Just this machine gun crossbow alone is enough to give the army of this era a hard time."

Zixuan asked in confusion, "Oh? Really? What do you mean, Lao Ji?"

Look, my king. Boss Ji took a crossbow from behind a soldier and said, "My king, it's called a machine gun crossbow because it can fire continuously like a machine gun."

"The internal manufacturing principles of the crossbow are very similar to those of the machine guns of the past."

"However, the crossbow's barrel is double-layered, so it doesn't shoot bullets, but small crossbow arrows."

"There are two rows of arrow clips under the crossbow body. All the arrow clips can hold a total of 300 arrows."

"Their maximum range is 300 meters, and their accuracy is 100 percent within 200 meters."

"Beyond 200 meters, it's hard to say. It might be flying around in all directions, and the force will be greatly reduced."

Zixuan nodded in satisfaction after hearing this: "Very good! A distance of 200 meters is enough!"
