Warlock Sword Fairy

"Master Chu is safe and well, I see the progress of the workshop is fast, and I don't need to wait until the day of delivery, it can all be completed."

Chu Lan was outside the workshop, watching the busy workshop, and Qi Tongyi beside him said happily, as if all of this was due to him.

As the garrison general stationed in the workshop by the Wei court, the burden of Qi unifying the barbarians is actually not light.

Qi Tongyi shoulders important responsibilities, and the importance of Chu Lan's workshop is self-evident. The Great Wei court almost regarded this place as the starting point for turning around. In layman's terms, it is to suppress the "national fortune".

With such a burden, Qi Tongyi's pressure can be imagined, so on Chu Lan's side, he walked on thin ice, taking every step carefully.

Chu Lan listened to Qi Tongyi's words, but shook her head with a light smile, and said, "It's so smooth, if the materials are not delivered, I'm afraid this workshop will stop."

Hearing Chu Lan's words, Qi Tongyi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately came to Chu Lan, cupped his hands and said, "It's just what Master Chu said, this workshop must not stop working."

His family knew about his family affairs, so Chu Lan told Qi Tongyi about the lack of materials, but Qi Tongyi was immediately shocked. He didn't expect that the consumption of materials was so great.

"Master Chu, is there any workaround? The imperial court is pressing hard. If the delivery cannot be delivered on time, I'm afraid the higher-ups..."

As Qi Tongyi said, he couldn't help feeling cold sweat coming out of his back. During this period of time, he knew that the supply of materials was a little tight, but he didn't expect that there would be a shutdown.

"No way, the cut-off materials are all necessities and cannot be replaced."

Chu Lan shook her head, expressing that she was helpless in this matter, he was real, there was nothing he could do.

After hearing Chu Lan's words, Qi Tongyi could only lament, this matter is not easy to handle.

"Master Chu, if you have nothing to do, can you go to the humble house for a sit-down. Last time, some of Mi Yang's friends brought me some new tea, so we can taste it together."

Chu Lan nodded, and then followed Qi Tongyi to his residence, which was an independent courtyard, and a few soldiers were doing work similar to the accountant.

It is the residence, and it is also the office of the Great Wei court in Luofeng Workshop. When entering the house, the furnishings are a bit simple. After all, they are all from the military, so they don't pay much attention.

The soldiers served refreshments, and the two sat down to chat. Chu Lan knew that Qi Tongyi must have something important to discuss with him.

"Master Chu, is it true that the puppet sword in the workshop can no longer be produced?"

With a hint of solemnity, Qi Tongyi spoke, but Chu Lan didn't speak, but shook her head slightly.

"Then Master Chu, if the puppet sword cannot be produced, what will be produced next?"

Qi Tongyi didn't understand the puppet technique, he wasn't even a monk, so what he cared about was only the progress of the workshop.

"Some ordinary wooden figures have a single function, but the advantage is that the materials are more common."

Chu Lan tapped her mouth, this tea tastes really good.

"Wooden man? The imperial court did not purchase this thing."

Qi Tongyi showed doubts, but Chu Lan said flatly: "The workshop has its own arrangements, so the court doesn't need to worry about it."

There was obviously a trace of displeasure in these words, and Qi Tongyi immediately stopped speaking and said nothing more.

Although it has cooperated with the court and borrowed a lot of convenience, Luofeng Workshop is Chu Lan's workshop, not the court's.

According to the agreement reached with the imperial court, the workshop produced the imperial court's orders, and the materials were provided by the imperial court, so production could not continue. This responsibility came from the imperial court, not the workshop itself.

The two were silent, and the room fell silent immediately. Chu Lan was about to get up, but Qi Tongyi hurriedly stopped her.

"Master Chu, actually this time I want to talk to you about something, please be patient for a moment."

After Qi Tongyi finished speaking, he took out a letter from the box on the side and sent it to Chu Lan.

Chu Lan picked it up, but after reading it, she couldn't help frowning.

"What does the imperial court mean, that they are preparing to train soldiers here?"

The content of the letter is not much, but the meaning is very clear. It is to send part of the Flying Armor Army to Xiluofeng Mountain for training.

This is interesting. You must know that Xiluofeng Mountain is now Chu Lan's territory, and suddenly there is an extra army. This makes Chu Lan, the landlord, a little annoyed.

No one wants their territory to be spied on by others. Although nominally this army is just to deploy as soon as possible to improve its combat effectiveness, for Chu Lan, it really feels like being threatened and spied on.

"Hehe, Master Chu thought too much, the imperial court actually hoped that Master Chu could help and train this army.

After all, these are mortals, and their understanding of puppets is limited, and in terms of battle tactics, the imperial court is also out of exploration.

If Master Chu can help, then it will get twice the result with half the effort. The imperial court also decided to come here to form it out of this consideration. "

Qi Tongyi hurriedly smoothed things over. After all, if Chu Lan was unhappy, things would be difficult.

"But this is my Chu Lan's place after all."

Chu Lan didn't take this approach, and let out a bit of coercion. Although he was only in the middle stage of Jindan, Qi Tongyi was a mortal, and he immediately felt a bit stagnant.

"Master Chu, please listen to me, listen to me..."

Qi Tongyi's face turned red, obviously feeling uncomfortable, but he still held back Chu Lan, wanting to continue talking.

"Forget it, tell me, what exactly are you going to do."

Chu Lan withdrew the coercion of the Golden Core cultivator, turned around, and looked at Qi Tongyi who was having difficulty breathing.

"Huh...huh...Master Chu, the imperial court attaches far more importance to puppets than you imagined. This time, it is really not intentional to threaten you, but the imperial court hopes to form a new army."

Withdrawing the coercion, Qi Tongyi felt much better, and immediately pulled Chu Lan to sit down, and said eagerly.

"New army? Isn't there a flying armor army? Even if you want to expand, you must first arm the flying armor army."

Chu Lan showed doubts. He could have imagined that the Wei court would expand its armaments and increase the number of puppet troops, but he didn't expect it to be so eager.

"Yes, the imperial court will indeed continue to arm the Flying Armor Army, but it plans to dismantle the existing Flying Armor Army and recruit more recruits."

Qi Tongyi also sat down. This time, he really felt that facing monks, mortals are really hard to resist.

"What's the name of the new army? How is it different from the Flying Armor Army?"

Chu Lan picked up the tea bowl on the side and took a sip, which meant to listen to Qi Tongyi's continuation.

"The new army is called the Flying Dragon Army, and it is estimated that there will be 8000 people, and the Flying Armor Army will also expand to the same size.

The reason why I couldn't wait to come to Xiluofeng Mountain this time was entirely because the imperial court felt that the puppet army could completely replace the fairy army in Dingshan Pass, so that they could master the use of puppets as soon as possible.

It is estimated that this time, more than a thousand people will come from the imperial court, none of whom are ordinary sergeants, mainly ten and centurion commanders, and many school lieutenants, just to learn from the scriptures.

That's why I hope that Master Chu can temper them well, and when they go back, they will be formed with these people as the core. "

After listening to Qi Tongyi's words, Chu Lan nodded. This is a way to quickly form combat power.

First train a group of grassroots officers, and then these grassroots officers go back to train soldiers, which can improve efficiency.

But in this way, his place is no longer a workshop, it has completely become a military academy.

"Well, since that's the case, it doesn't matter, I can set aside an area in Xiluofeng Mountain for you to station.

But these people are not allowed to step into the workshop, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face. "

Chu Lan drew a red line. He can let these people station in Xiluofeng Mountain, under his own territory and under his nose, but correspondingly, these people must also abide by the rules and not disturb the order of the workshop.

"Okay, this is no problem. I will write a letter and explain Master Chu's request to them."

Seeing that Chu Lan let go, Qi Tongyi let go of a big stone in his heart.

"Do you need to transport the products of the workshop away? Or hand them over to these people directly."

Chu Lan asked a serious question, that is, the number of puppet swords produced by the workshop is not large. If these people are required to use them, they may not be able to satisfy them.

If the Wei court sent away the puppet swords from the workshop, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to practice. "

"I haven't received any news about this yet, please wait for Master Chu."

Qi Tongyi didn't know how to arrange it, so Chu Lan nodded. It was the court's own business, and he couldn't control it.

After a few more gossips, Chu Lan left. He returned to his cave, thanked the guests behind closed doors, and told the remaining disciples that he needed to retreat for a few days.

The so-called retreat is actually running back to the secret realm of the small tower. He has an important matter that needs to be confirmed.

"You came?"

A piece of fiery red trees, growing on the red land, the leaves of these trees are all red, which is quite similar to the surrounding environment.

Xiaotao stood there, watching Chu Lan fly over, and said calmly.

"Thank you for taking care of me during this time. It's really not easy to plant all these red trees alive."

Chu Lan looked at a forest in front of her. The area was not large, but more than ten acres. There were hundreds of red trees of different sizes growing quietly.

"These red trees are suitable for the environment here, and it is not uncommon for them to be able to grow and survive.

And there are more than a hundred trees, which are about to give birth to new branches, and it is estimated that the scale will further expand soon. "

Xiaota knows these plants. After all, as a peach tree spirit, she knows Lingzhi's habits like the back of her hand.

"If I plant some other spiritual plants, is it feasible here?"

Chu Lan immediately asked, and Xiaotao listened and thought for a moment, then it depends on what kind of spiritual plant it is.

After listening to Xiaotao's words, Chu Lan nodded. He really wanted to plant some things, but these things had a different style of painting. They needed Xiaotao, a peach tree spirit, to give good advice.
