Chapter 234 Building an Island
At this time, the men who had just finished bathing came down from the mountain. They put on clean clothes and looked refreshed, as if they were changed into different people.
"Wow, you guys look so energetic!" Nangong Lin said with a smile.
"Haha, thank you for the compliment to His Royal Highness Prince Yu. The hot springs here are really great, making people feel relaxed all over." said a Qingyi disciple.
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became relaxed and happy. Next, they began to discuss how to develop the island and how to use the resources here. They believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to build the island into a beautiful and rich home.
As night fell, the moonlight sprinkled on the earth like water. Nangong Lin stood alone in the mall, staring firmly at the four unmanned excavators in front of him. These high-tech equipment will become the key tools for him to realize his plan.
After careful consideration, Nangong Lin decided to dig magma from the volcanic cave and lead it to the nearest sea. This bold idea not only solves the problem of cement needed for construction on the island, but also makes the island self-sufficient and reduces its dependence on external resources.
As the four unmanned excavators slowly started up, they made a low roar, as if telling of the coming changes. Nangong Lin watched these huge machines gradually disappear into the darkness, his heart full of anticipation.
Before leaving the island, the ghost doctor found more than 20 kinds of medicinal herbs on the island for Yu Yunxin, and she planted them all in the space of the colorful bracelet. She also took the finger lime, sugar apple, mist lotus, egg fruit and other fruit seedlings from the island and planted them directly in the ring's agricultural products.
At the same time, the elite guards of Shura Gate also quietly took action. They received an order from Nangong Lin to build on this island according to the drawings drawn by Yun Xin. These guards are the best in Shura Gate. They are well-trained and disciplined, and they are full of confidence in this mission.
After everyone left, the elite guards of Shura Gate finally landed on the island. They brought various building materials and tools, ready to start a large-scale construction project. They first selected a suitable location and began to plan and design the future city and manor.
Nangong Lin believed that it would not be long before a magnificent city gradually appeared before people. The city walls were towering into the sky and extremely solid; the city gates were tightly closed and heavily guarded. The streets in the city were spacious and clean, with shops lined up on both sides, and it was very lively. Outside the city, there was a gorgeous manor standing in several orchards, which complemented the surrounding environment and demonstrated the noble status of the owner.
In this newly built city, everything seems to be in order. There is no dispute, no war, only peace and prosperity. This is the Knight Island that Nangong Lin wants to build, a place full of hope and dreams.
After returning to Lincheng, Yu Yunxin asked Nangong Lin: "How many people from Shura Sect did you send to the island?"
Nangong Lin smiled and held up a finger and said, "Ten thousand people, most of them are people from Xizhou who want to live in another place."
Yu Yunxin nodded. She knew that these people were the natives of the future Xiake Island. "Since the Xiake Island Arena is indispensable, and there are also martial artists who can get Shan Ling, what martial arts have you prepared?"
Nangong Lin nodded, "I have prepared some martial arts secrets and training methods to help those talented martial artists improve their strength. At the same time, we will also invite some martial arts masters to the island to teach martial arts, so that everyone can communicate and learn from each other."
Yu Yunxin looked at him in surprise, "You actually invited Jianghu seniors to come? Aren't you afraid that they might not agree? After all, this is a brand new island, and it was built by the Shura Clan."
Nangong Lin smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I believe that as long as we give them enough benefits, they will definitely be willing to come. Moreover, we can promise to provide them with the best training environment and resources, so that they will have no reason to refuse."
Yu Yunxin nodded after hearing this, thinking that this method was indeed feasible, so she asked, "Then how do you plan to select these martial artists to participate in the competition? You can't just let anyone come, right?"
Nangong Lin thought for a moment and said, "Of course not. We need to set certain thresholds and rules so that only qualified martial artists can participate in the competition. First, they must hold a Shanling to be eligible to participate; second, we will screen them based on their strength and potential to ensure that only the best people can enter the final."
Yu Yunxin agreed after hearing this, "This is good, it not only ensures the fairness of the competition but also improves the level of the contestants. However, how do we determine the strength and potential of these people?"
Nangong Lin smiled and said, "This is very simple. We can test and evaluate them in various ways, such as martial arts competitions, actual combat drills, etc. In addition, we can also invite some famous people in the martial arts world to serve as judges to evaluate and score them from a professional perspective."
Yu Yunxin nodded after hearing this, thinking that this method was very good. It could not only select martial artists with real strength, but also avoid some unnecessary troubles and disputes. Then she asked, "So what reward will the winner get?"
Nangong Lin's eyes flashed with a cunning look, "Of course it's an extremely generous reward! In addition to gold and silver treasures, they will also receive a peerless martial arts secret book like the "Nine Yang True Classic" or "Xuan Yuan Sutra" in martial arts novels. These are naturally the martial arts I made up for them. Whether they can practice them depends on their martial arts talent."
Yu Yunxin was shocked. "I have an idea. We can make up more martial arts secrets, but we can divide these secrets into seven or five fragments to reward them."
Nangong Lin smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, your idea is good. I'm going to get some hidden weapons like thunder bombs, rainstorm pear blossom peacock feathers, etc."
Yu Yunxin couldn't help but sigh: "So people who go to the island must be strict and must be righteous knights!" Her voice was firm and determined, as if she was declaring a belief.
The two discussed the matter of the Island of Heroes, and the atmosphere became serious. They knew the importance of the Island of Heroes, which was not only related to the stability of the martial arts world, but also to the peace of the people of the world. Every detail needed to be carefully considered, and there could be no carelessness.
At this time, several workshops in Qizhou City have been built. Workers are busy shuttling between them, and the sounds of machines and hammers are intertwined, forming a busy scene. Although everything seems to be going smoothly, they clearly know that there are still many things waiting for them to deal with.
At the same time, Nangong Rui, who was far away in the capital, learned that Nangong Lin and his princess had gone to Qizhou together and had received the support of Emperor Cheng. This news hit him like a bolt from the blue, and he was instantly furious. He clenched his fists tightly, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes, and his heart was filled with resentment.
Nangong Rui recalled his experience in Qizhou, and he became more and more certain that all this was a trap set up by Nangong Lin behind his back. He gnashed his teeth in hatred, and his heart was filled with murderous intent towards Nangong Lin. He secretly swore that if he had the chance, he would make Nangong Lin pay the price to relieve his hatred.
“Damn it!” Nangong Rui slammed the table in anger, his eyes flashing with anger, “How dare they scheme against me like this! I will make them pay the price!”
He clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the table, venting his inner dissatisfaction. He couldn't accept that he had lost his fiefdom Qizhou and the 200,000-man army. These were the fruits of his years of hard work, but now they were easily taken away by Nangong Lin.
"Your Highness, please calm down first." Wang Taifu beside him quickly persuaded, "We can't let anger cloud our heads. The most important thing now is to find a way to deal with the current situation."
Nangong Rui took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, as if he wanted to spit out all the anger and unwillingness in his heart. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug deep into his palms, leaving blood marks. He knew that his grandfather was right, now was not the time to act on impulse, he needed to calm down and think carefully about what to do next.
After a while, Nangong Rui's breathing gradually stabilized. He raised his head, with a flash of determination in his eyes. "Grandpa is right. I can't let anger cloud my mind and make the wrong decision. I will calm down and think about how to deal with the current situation." He gritted his teeth and said in a low and firm voice.
Wang Taifu watched his grandson gradually regain his sanity and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Nangong Rui on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Rui'er, although we are at a disadvantage now, we are not in a desperate situation yet. As long as we stay calm, we will always find a way out."
Nangong Rui nodded to show that he understood. He pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of a good idea. "Since Prince Yu and Princess Yu are also in Qizhou, we can find a way to pass the news to the pirates and tell them that Prince Yu and Princess Yu are in Qizhou. In this way, they will definitely take action."
After hearing Nangong Rui's words, Wang Taifu's eyes lit up and he nodded in appreciation. "That's a good idea. As long as the pirates know the whereabouts of Prince Yu and Princess Yu, they will definitely find ways to capture them and force them to return to the capital. In this way, we can put all the blame on Prince Yu!"
A sly look flashed in Wang Taifu's eyes, as if he saw the dawn of victory. Nangong Rui raised his lips slightly and said with a bit of pride: "Don't worry, sir, I have my own way to pass the news to the pirates. With a little trick, they can know the whereabouts of Prince Yu and his wife."
Nangong Rui went on to say: "Moreover, we can also use this opportunity to secretly make some moves against Prince Yu's power in the capital, so that he will never be able to turn things around." A sinister smile appeared on his face, and it was obvious that he had come up with a specific action plan.
Wang Taifu nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Nangong Rui's plan. "This is a good idea. It can not only solve the current dilemma, but also deal a fatal blow to Prince Yu. But how do we pass the message to the pirates?"
Nangong Rui smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Master Wang's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, my lord. I have made all the arrangements. We just need to find a reliable person to carry the portraits of Prince Yu and his wife to the place where the pirates are active and spread the news."
Wang Taifu nodded slightly, indicating his agreement. The two looked at each other, both showing satisfied smiles. This conspiracy is quietly unfolding...
Nangong Rui thought for a moment and replied, "We can pass the news to the pirates through some special channels, such as some organizations or secret intelligence networks in the underworld. Of course, these things need to be done by you in person, after all, your network of contacts is much wider than mine."
Wang Taifu nodded and agreed, "No problem, leave it to me. However, we have to be prepared for both situations. If the pirates fail to capture Prince Yu and Princess Yu, we have other means to deal with them."
Nangong Rui frowned and asked, "Grandpa, do you have any other plans?"
Wang Taifu smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: "I know some martial arts masters who can help us. If the pirates fail, we can let these martial arts masters assassinate Prince Yu and Princess Yu directly."
Nangong Rui heard this and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. "But, will this cause too much noise? If someone finds out, it will be a disaster for us."
Wang Taifu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, these martial arts masters are all hidden masters and will not easily reveal their identities. As long as they succeed, we can completely get rid of suspicion."
Nangong Rui thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. "Okay, then let's do as Grandpa said. I hope this plan will succeed, and Prince Yu and Princess Yu will never be able to turn over."
The two smiled at each other, with a cold light flashing in their eyes. A conspiracy against Prince Yu and Princess Yu began...
At the same time, a mysterious organization suddenly appeared in the capital. They first sold lotus cream in the princess's teaching shop and then targeted Yun Xin's industry, spreading rumors everywhere in an attempt to discredit the reputation of her several businesses.
Outside Mingyang Building, Chen Wenjie and his men were creating chaos. They were making loud noises outside Mingyang Building and constantly pulling away old customers of Mingyang Building.
"The new play our Ruyi Opera Troupe is launching today is much more exciting than the one in Mingyanglou! And it's free to watch!" Chen Wenjie shouted loudly and enthusiastically.
The customers who were originally planning to enter Mingyang Building were immediately excited when they heard the words "free theater". They changed their minds and walked towards Ruyi Theater.
Shopkeeper Mu looked around Mingyang Building and thought today was very strange. She wondered, "Strange, the show is about to start, why are there so few people watching today?"
After Qiu Yong came back from the street, he was so angry that he punched the table. Seeing this, Mu Xue hurriedly asked, "Brother Qiu, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Qiu Yong said angrily: "It's that Chen Wenjie! He has been demoted, but he is still so arrogant. He even brought people to our Mingyang Building to steal our business!" After saying that, he couldn't control his emotions and slammed the counter again.
After hearing this, Mu Xue calmed down a lot. She comforted Qiu Yong and said, "Okay, Brother Qiu, you don't have to be too angry. Let's send a few people to check the situation of Ruyi Theater first."
