Chapter 912 General Black Fiend Arrives in Person
Seeing this, Chu Chen was not angry and continued to discuss the renovation of the city lord's mansion with the craftsmen.
And so, half a month later, construction of Chu Chen's City Lord's Mansion officially began.
Several large excavators were digging the foundation, and the entire city lord's mansion was instantly filled with dust.
That's right. In the past two weeks, besides designing with the craftsmen, Chu Chen has been teaching them how to use various modern tools.
If you want to be fast, then these powerful tools must be in place.
Even the four top experts, upon seeing these novel gadgets, gained even more confidence in Chu Chen's earlier statement about eliminating the Black Fiend Army!
"Lord City Lord, these things are really great for construction!"
Benhu, with a cigarette between his hands, walked up to Chu Chen and said with a sigh.
"Uncle Tiger, stop calling me 'Lord City Lord' all the time. Just call me by my name or Chu Wa Zi!"
"Chuwazi? What idiot gave you that name?"
After spending more than half a month together, Chu Chen's relationship with the four masters has progressed rapidly.
Their previous respect for Chu Chen was entirely based on their respect for Sha Jinrui.
After spending more than half a month together, they developed a deep liking and admiration for this young man who was much weaker than them.
They possess quick minds and wondrous items, as well as the ability to capture their appetites with all sorts of novel foods and products.
"Um... many years ago, in the small mountain village where I was born, everyone called me Chuwazi, it was very endearing!"
While the two were talking, Guan Chuan and Fei also came over.
Several people each held a thermos cup in one hand and cigarettes in their other hand. Because the sun was a bit glaring, Fee, who had only one eye, was wearing a pair of sunglasses that Chu Chen had given him.
Seeing this scene, Chu Chen grinned foolishly. The scene was similar, but he just couldn't quite place it.
And so the days went by, and all I did each day was supervise the work and chat and joke around with them.
As for those so-called Black Fiend Army, they haven't shown up since the last time they sent people here.
This also gave Chu Chen a very good breathing space to focus on construction.
A full month later, the outer wall was erected, and the craftsmen and laborers gradually became familiar with Chu Chen and his group.
"Lord City Lord, can this thing really absorb the sun's energy?"
A craftsman was holding a solar panel and asking Chu Chen for advice.
Chu Chen didn't hold back either, telling them everything he knew about the uses and simple principles of these modern devices.
Anyway, they can't build it, and even if they could, they don't have the modern equipment and materials.
"Lord City Lord, this is the first time I've seen a wall built with both inner and outer walls!"
"Yes, Lord City Lord, carriages and horses can now pass through these walls."
On this day, Chu Chen was still patrolling and inspecting the walls.
Behind him, Ba Tiancheng carried a bottle of wine, swaggering around with an arrogant and domineering air.
Chu Chen greeted the craftsmen and laborers, showing no trace of being a city lord.
Suddenly, Ba Tiancheng threw the wine in his hand, then pressed Chu Chen's head down, and an arrow flew towards the top of Chu Chen's head.
"Holy crap, they've got no sportsmanship and they're resorting to sneak attacks!"
Chu Chen turned to look at the arrows embedded in the wall and said with lingering fear.
At that very moment, four figures arrived and immediately surrounded Chu Chen.
"Is this all the Black Fiend Army is capable of?"
Ba Tiancheng snapped out of his daze, turned around, and shouted loudly at the group of people riding tall horses charging towards him.
"This must be our Lord's grandson, the little tyrant whom everyone fears."
At this moment, a huge sedan chair carried by eight people emerged from the crowd below.
It's not quite right to call it a sedan chair, because it has no roof and looks more like a bed.
On the bed, a burly man had one arm around a petite girl and looked at Ba Tiancheng with disdain.
Chu Chen glanced at the man on the bed and asked Ba Tiancheng, "Who is this guy?"
Ba Tiancheng didn't speak, but Guan Chuan took over from the side: "General Zuo Yunxiong of the Black Fiend Army has the cultivation of the late stage of the Void God Realm, which is on par with the four of us."
Chu Chen nodded after listening: "Then why don't the four seniors just go down and kill him?"
"It's not that simple. Those eight palanquin bearers are all as strong as Little Tyrant and his men. Even if the four of us work together, we can't kill them immediately. This is because every time this person goes out, he is followed by at least a thousand soldiers at the late stage of the Heavenly God Realm. These people are his personal guard. If he were so easy to kill, he would have been dead long ago!"
That's way too cautious.
Chu Chen immediately thought of a question: why didn't Sha Jinrui kill him when he came to suppress the bandits? Could it be that he was spared for him?
Then he stepped forward and said, "You are Zuo Yunxiong, the general of the Black Fiend Army?"
"Hahaha, General Zuo Yunxiong of the Black Fiend Army greets the City Lord. The City Lord is indeed handsome. It's a pity he's alive!"
"Lord City Lord, the sandstorms in this desert city are fierce. If you're not careful, you'll die. You must be careful!"
Chu Chen remained unfazed by Zuo Yunxiong's blatant threat.
"Hehe, General Zuo, you're getting old, take care of your health. Also, before, when there was no master in the desert city, the people couldn't even keep their meager food and silver. But now it's different. I'm here. So, you should take your bunch of rabble and go back to prepare for next year's spring planting. Otherwise, with so many people to eat, don't let them go hungry!"
"Boy, you are looking for death!"
Chu Chen didn't say anything, but waved his hand and took out a sniper rifle, loaded it with a white phosphorus bullet, and pulled the trigger.
It's a waste of life to waste words on someone who wants to get rid of you.
Chu Chen didn't believe that a sniper rifle could be of any use to him if he was on guard.
However, he wanted to make a statement in front of the people of the desert: that he, Chu Chen, was not afraid of the so-called Black Fiend Army.
It's even better that he's here today. If I don't take a piece of his flesh, I'll be letting down Sha Jinrui's expectations of me.
A bullet spun rapidly toward Zuo Yunxiong, but just as it was about to reach him, Zuo Yunxiong, as if he could predict it, pulled up the woman beside him and blocked it.
The bullet immediately burst into flames on the chest of the woman beside him, and no matter how hard he tried to extinguish it, he couldn't.
A short while later, amidst her pain and terror, a large hole was burned through her chest, and she died.
Zuo Yunxiong frowned upon seeing this: "Kid, you really dare to be my enemy?"
