Because Mu Yunjing and Li Feng had stayed in Qiu Shui Town for quite a long time, they had to rush back to the Protectorate immediately. They decided to set off in the afternoon.

Before leaving, after the few of them had finished explaining all the matters, Li Feng quietly pulled Zhou Yimo aside, seemingly to instruct him on something in private.

Li Qingqing glanced at them and saw that Zhou Yimo's ears were slightly red. She suspected that they were saying something inappropriate for children, but she ignored them. She was thinking about what she should do next.

When Mu Yunjing left, he left Yunying and other shadow guards behind and asked them to follow Li Qingqing.

Let Li Qingqing start arranging the Shadow Guard training base and living quarters for all members of Qingfeng Pavilion as soon as possible.

After much consideration, Li Qingqing decided to make use of the dense forest village.

The geographical environment of the dense forest village is extremely secluded, surrounded by dense forests and many wild animals.

Moreover, the road up the mountain is in a dangerous position, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which can effectively hide one's whereabouts and avoid external interference.

Most people dare not leave the dense forest village easily after entering it, and it is not easy for outsiders to find this hidden place.

Isn’t this a perfect place for all members of Qingfeng Pavilion to live?

I am really grateful to Mr. Luo for giving her such a great gift.

Li Qingqing acted decisively and found Master Qiu, asking him for a map of the locations of other small bandit dens.

He then threw the ointment and powder to Zhou Yimo and asked him to change the dressing for Xie Xuan'an, just as a practice session.

Now Xie Xuan'an only needs to rest for another week to recover, and there is basically no sign of the scars on his body, so he can leave the medicine powder and ointment to Zhou Yimo.

Then he hurriedly took Yunying and a group of shadow guards to wipe out several small bandit dens near Milin Village.

Of course, her purpose in doing this was not only to eliminate the banditry in these places, but more importantly to ensure that her Qingfeng Pavilion could remain secret and not be discovered by the outside world.

Then she asked Yunying and the others to stay and let them carry out a thorough renovation of the Milin Village, build wooden houses, and set up various defensive fortifications around the village.

He and Yunying came to the deep mountains, marked out a shadow guard training base, and set up training facilities.

After arranging these things, Li Qingqing left enough food and various pills and powders to Yunying and the others, and then returned to Qiu Shui Town.

"My wife, you are finally back." Zhou Yimo was delighted. His wife had been busy for several days.

Zhou Yimo then told Li Qingqing,

"Li Tiezhu sent someone to inform us that our houses and industrial buildings have been built, and they are currently working on houses for other villagers."

"Great, I'll go back to Lihua Village later." Li Qingqing was also a little happy, and then asked:

"Where's Xiao Xie?"

"He is practicing swordplay with Bai Ye now. He should be back in a quarter of an hour."

"Oh!" Li Qingqing raised her eyebrows.

"I gonna go see."

Li Qingqing walked briskly across the courtyard and came to the sword practice area.

I saw Xiao Xie and Bai Ye each holding a long sword, concentrating on a sword contest.

Li Qingqing stood quietly by, observing intently. She had never expected that after not seeing him for many days, Xie Xuan'an could dance the sword so well.

Although his sword skills were still a little immature, his movements in swinging the sword were already quite methodical, and each move revealed an indomitable tenacity.

Li Qingqing was secretly surprised.

She didn't expect that once Xie Xuan'an got serious, he would be completely different from his usual free and easy image. It turned out that he really wanted to learn kung fu.

Li Qingqing knew that now was not the time to disturb them, so she waited quietly by the side.

Only after they finished practicing and stopped moving did she walk forward with a smile and said admiringly:

"Thank you, sir. Your swordsmanship has been practiced quite well and your progress has been remarkable. It is truly impressive."

Xie Xuan'an hadn't seen Li Qingqing for a long time. When he saw her finally come back, a look of joy appeared on his face.

But then he remembered something, retracted his smile, and said expressionlessly: "Not bad, Bai Ye's teaching is quite good."

Xie Xuan'an has now gradually come to understand why Bai Ye kidnapped him. Letting Bai Ye teach martial arts is indeed the best choice.

Now he can not only learn swordsmanship well, but also earn money.

When Bai Ye saw Li Qingqing, he also bowed: "Master."

Li Qingqing looked at Bai Ye with admiration in her eyes, "Bai Ye, you taught me very well. Master Xie's swordsmanship has improved a lot."

Bai Ye immediately responded: "Thank you, sir, for your talent and intelligence, coupled with your diligent practice, your progress will naturally be remarkable."

Li Qingqing nodded, then turned to Xie Xuanan and asked with a smile, "Are you still going to practice sword?"

"Not for now. I'm just about to take a break."

"Okay then. I'm going back to Lihua Village later. I have something to tell you."

Xie Xuan'an and Li Qingqing came to the hall of the mansion one after another, and Zhou Yimo was waiting there.

After the three of them sat down, Zhou Yimo said:

"Madam, Lord Xie and I have discussed relocating the county government office to Qiushui Town. Right now, Master Qiu is directing the construction of the new county government office."

Today, Qiu Shui Town has both blue brick walls and city gates, which greatly enhances the security and defense capabilities of the area.

If the roads leading to the other three towns are built in the future, transportation in the entire Qiu Shui Town will be more convenient and trade will become more frequent.

After hearing this, Li Qingqing nodded slightly, expressing her agreement.

"This is indeed a good idea. Qiushui Town has a superior geographical location. Relocating the county government office here will benefit the management and development of the entire region."

Once Hu Dabao and his men open up all the roads that extend in all directions, this place will become more and more prosperous.

Xie Xuan'an also informed Li Qingqing that the renovation of Zuiyuexuan was completed.

Li Qingqing then told them that Milin Village had been completely transformed into Qingfeng Pavilion, and then said,

"Xiao Xie, quickly craft a batch of weapons for Qingfeng Pavilion, as well as the iron masks used by the Shadow Guards. I'll return to Lihua Village now and start setting up the candle factory. I'll leave some silver and food for you later."

After the three of them exchanged the news, Li Qingqing said goodbye and hurried back to Lihua Village.

She hurried back to the flat land on the hillside behind the mountain, and sure enough, she saw that a four-courtyard house made of blue bricks and tiles had been built on her own land.

Li Qingqing stood outside and looked at it. She felt that it would definitely be comfortable to live in the house without even going in.

Next to the blue brick and tile house, there is a large courtyard wall. The wall is tall and sturdy, and inside the wall, there is a row of bungalows neatly arranged, and the layout of the bungalows is orderly.

If diversified industries are developed within this courtyard wall, they will not interfere with each other, which is extremely convenient.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to buy this entire mountain land.

Seeing Li Qingqing coming back, the village chief was very happy. He walked up to her with a smile on his face and said:

"Qingqing, you're finally back! Luckily, the weather has been good recently and it hasn't rained. Now, we've already repaired most of the houses, including yours. We estimate that we'll be able to complete everything in about ten days to half a month."

Except for the Zhou family's house which required some labor, most of the others had only one or two entrances, and since there was plenty of labor, they were built quickly.

Li Qingqing responded with a smile:

"Great, Village Chief, your construction is progressing very well, even faster than I expected."

"I have something to discuss with you. Let's find a place to talk."

The village chief smiled, his face beaming with joy.
