Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chapter 363: Building a Protective Wall and Beacon Tower

Guoguo thought of the ancient beacon fires and said to Yeheng, "When the protective wall was built, a beacon tower was built every few miles, and firewood that was easy to ignite was placed on it. The highest point was about the size of a house. If someone saw something happening at sea and lit firewood, soldiers in the distance would see it and be able to arrive in time. People are slow to pass on messages, so this is much faster!" Yeheng was surprised that Guoguo knew so much. He thought that Guoguo must have been a good student and he must have picked up a living treasure. Although he knew it long ago, he still kept sighing when he heard Guoguo's words. He said, "This is a good idea, it's feasible." Guoguo said again, "The coastline is long, and it's inconvenient to pass on messages. It will be easy to see if you light a fire at a high place." Yeheng: "Yes." Xiaodong: "What a wonderful idea!" "Huts, so that soldiers can rest." They don't have to patrol back and forth.

Ye Heng: "Let's go and see if there are any workers. Let's do this first." Guo Guo: "Bake the bricks yourself. We brought lime with us. We don't need to burn this. We have coal for cooking." Ye Heng and Xiao Dong went out. "Guo Guo, don't go out." Guo Guo: "Okay."

Guoguo came to the space and said, "Dad, you should go out. I'll call you to eat after I'm done with the barbecue." "Okay." The fourth brother also knew what he was here for.

Guoguo raised her hand, and the fourth brother came outside. "Hey, finish this battle quickly and go home. I'm quitting." With that, he went out to find his soldiers to do their work. No one wanted to fight; it was a waste of money and life-threatening. There was nothing he could do!

Ye Heng and Xiao Dong rode their horses, preparing to mark out a route for the construction. The Chai Jing people assigned their men to different tasks: some would search for water, some for clay, some for wood, and so on.

After assigning the missions, he rode to the seashore to investigate, accompanied by several generals. They spotted ships in the distance. The fourth general said, "Old Li, go back and fetch them." General Li replied, "Okay," and rode back. The fourth general drew his broadsword, but then realized it wasn't a land battle, so he sheathed it and took out his bow and arrows.

He forgot his backpack. When Guoguo wanted to tell him about it, he said, "I'm going back to get my stuff." Then he rode back. Yeheng and Xiaodong also saw it and rode back to get their weapons.

Guoguo knew it a long time ago. He had already rushed over and said, "You must bring weapons when you go out in the future." Guoguo gave each of them a backpack. He took out several binoculars and said, "One for each of the generals." Yeheng: "Take it." Yeheng put it on first and looked at the sea in the distance. There were two large ships with several people standing on them. He could see them clearly, but he didn't know who they were. Guoguo took out a microphone and asked Yeheng to speak. Yeheng understood instantly and shouted with the microphone, "Ships on the sea, who are you? If you don't tell me, I will shoot! I'll count to three, one," and then shouted "two" after a short pause. No one on the ship said anything. The people on the ship said to their men, "Shoot." Yeheng saw the men on the ship who took out bows and arrows and ordered, "Shoot!" He quickly took out a gun, aimed at the other side, and fired a shot. Yeheng saw someone fall down on the other side's ship. However, the arrows from the other side also shot over, and Yeheng picked up Guoguo and flew out. Everyone was fine, all skilled in martial arts, and dodged the arrows. Xiaodong dismounted, picked up the arrow, and examined it carefully. "It's definitely not ours. The pattern on it is from another country." Yeheng picked it up and examined it. "Indeed, it's not ours." He could see clearly that the attire was different. Guoguo looked like a Japanese, with a bandage tied around his head. Guoguo said, "They must be bad guys." General Li arrived with his troops. The ships at sea turned away.

Ye Heng wanted to chase after them, but then thought better of it. They had just arrived and hadn't rested enough.

Ye Heng left a hundred soldiers to guard the seashore. "If there's anything, report it first. General Li will stay." "Yes, Your Highness." Everyone else went back. Ye Heng asked Guo Guo if we could use our big ship. Guo Guo: "Can we? But I don't want to. It's in my space and can't just appear casually. We can buy a ship. The emperor has already bought it in the space, and it will arrive tonight."

Ye Heng ordered his men to hurry up with their work.

The map zoomed in! Ye Heng had set up a large tent as his headquarters, the central military tent. A large map lay on the table, and several generals were studying it to discuss battle plans.

Ye Heng said, "The man who just died seems to be an official. Otherwise, the ship wouldn't have returned just because one person died." General Wang said, "Your Highness is right. He was an official, no matter how big or small. If we hadn't come, who knows what would have happened to the people! There were quite a few people on both ships!" Huan Huan said, "He must be a high-ranking official. At least he has the final say this time."

"Let's prepare to go out to sea tomorrow. Our small boat is also very flexible." Ye Heng ordered.

Several generals sat down, and soldiers came up to serve tea. General Wang said, "This is the real ocean. Only here can we hone our underwater combat skills." Ye Heng said, "That's right. We need to understand the underwater conditions and not venture out rashly. We must proceed slowly and grope our way forward. Go to the warehouse and find waterproof swimsuits for underwater use. Give them to the soldiers."

"Yes, Your Highness," several generals shouted. Ye Heng asked, "Who's in charge of the warehouse now?" Chai Jingren replied, "Deputy General Li." Ye Heng replied, "Go ahead. Dismissed."

Ye Heng returned to his tent and put down his backpack. Xiao Dong followed him back and put down his backpack as well. Guo Guo said, "From now on, you should always carry your backpack when you leave the tent!" Ye Heng said, "Got it." Xiao Dong also said quickly, "Got it." He looked at Ye Heng.

Ye Heng, feeling guilty, sat down and read a book. Xiaodong took out a book he had brought with him and sat down to read. Huang Bao called out, "The roasted whole lamb is ready." Guo Guo took out two lamb legs and said, "Eat!" The aroma wafted far away!

Guoguo went out to find her father and bring him back so the fourth child could have some meat. He'd been thinking about it for so long, but he couldn't go without it. Guoguo looked at the secret guards gathered around her tent and said, "Come in. There's a basin outside for everyone to wash their hands." She lowered her head and walked into the tent. Guoguo saw only four or five people and said, "Help yourself. Take as much as you want!" The secret guards said, "Yes, master. Thank you, master!" Huangbao was still roasting a whole lamb in the space. People outside ate. Guoguo filled their water bags with spiritual spring water. "Hot water, drink it."

Ye Heng: "If you need anything, just tell me. Wear more clothes if it's cold at night." Secret guard: "Yes, master." Each of them went out with a large piece of mutton and touched the water bag. The water was hot.

The secret guards who came this time included those in the open and those in the dark. Including the one thousand people Guoguo had sent with him, there were five thousand naval forces, for a total of six thousand people.

Ye Heng ate the mutton, "Delicious! Delicious! How is Huangbao grilled!" Guoguo: "A lot of seasonings! Of course it's different when grilled with fruit wood." Xiaodong: "The grilling depends on what it's grilled on!" Guoguo: "Yes, the fruit wood has a fragrance. When it burns, the fragrance is absorbed by the mutton and the taste is different. Also, applying seasoning on the mutton is key! You'll get it after grilling it a few times!"

After Ye Heng had eaten and drunk his fill, he went out with Xiaodong, and the two rode off on horseback. Guoguo called out, "Come back!" Ye Heng suddenly remembered and said, "Xiaodong, go get it!" Xiaodong was still confused, but after hearing what the emperor's uncle said, he naturally ran back. Guoguo took out a backpack and handed it to Xiaodong. "Hmph, you two adults still forget things." Xiaodong smiled and said, "This won't happen again!" He picked up the two backpacks and rode away.

Catching up with Ye Heng, he handed him a backpack and said, "Uncle, don't forget it next time!" Ye Heng took the backpack without saying a word, put it on his shoulder, and continued walking forward. Xiaodong thought to himself, you only know how to bully me.
