Chapter 351 What do people want?
When the field was in full swing outside, Bai Xiao fell into a brief silence.
After Bai Xiao fell into the air with blood rain, the undead at Baishan were defeated. With no leader and no way out, he actually surrendered to Bai Xiao... It can be said that the overall situation was determined by a battle. The independent army gathered on the Baiyuan were deeply shocked and walked out of the military tent and offered a bow to Bai Xiao.
But Bai Xiao himself seemed very indifferent to this. After landing, he reached out to touch Chu Yu's neck while extending his thoughts to the future.
Now, the undead at the foot of Baishan has been suppressed, so... the Baiye City should be considered liberated, right? Qingyue left the military tent early and headed towards Baiye City, which should be to seize the initiative.
Bai Xiao is familiar with history textbooks, so he is also very clear that as long as the opposition in Baiye City is cleaned up at this time, the city that has been prosperous after war is a great capital. At least it is more in line with people's expectations for the capital than the wilderness of Baishan.
Sure enough, will this still make the opponent take advantage?
Bai Xiao pondered for a moment, then shrugged and said it didn't matter.
After being an opponent with Qingyue for so many years, he knew very well that if he wanted to win Qingyue, the only way was to crush her with absolute advantage, and to get involved in details and gains and losses with her. The more he was entangled, the more he lost, the more he lost. So either he would just ride alone and chop off her head before Qingyue had time to make a brilliant move, or just let it go, bury his head in his own acre of three-point land, and do his own thing well. As long as he could do better and faster than Qingyue, he would naturally win.
Of course, Bai Xiao also considered beheading him and even Lu Hao dared to hostage him, let alone Qingyue, the direct opponent.
The relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend is one thing, and the relationship between competitive is another. If there is a chance, Bai Xiao will never mind killing Qingyue on his opponent in the test, but he is not sure enough to win.
Surrounded by the army, Bai Xiao felt that hostage Lu Hao was a little simpler than beheading Qingyue. Since he did not even succeed in his plan to hostage Lu Hao, he naturally would not consider testing Qingyue's deep scenery. The intuition conclusion was not optimistic.
It's better to do your own thing.
Judging from the script outline of this test, the undead who was suppressed by Lu Hao under the Baiyuan is both a challenge and an opportunity. Normal development should be to make full use of the ace of the undead, allowing Lu Hao to invest more and more manpower and material resources in the Baiyuan until the foundation for building a capital here and build the prototype of the academy on this basis... As long as all this can be won before the Baiye Sect, it will be Bai Xiao's victory.
However, Bai Xiao did not like that kind of long pull, especially considering that his opponent was Qingyue, who was best at laying the victory in pulling, Bai Xiao was extremely inclined to fight quickly, so he did not wait for Lu Hao to take action according to the script design, but instead interfered with the matter and overturned the problem that had troubled the Independence Army of the Western Continent for several years alone.
As for the later...
Just as Bai Xiao was pondering, layers of independent troops were already surrounded by him, and everyone had an exaggerated look of amazement on his face.
"So amazing General Bai!"
"I didn't expect you to have such a trick hidden!"
The words of the Independent Army generals were enthusiastic and earnest, but when Bai Xiao looked at it, he saw masks without sincerity, and knew that these people were not extras, but purely the resources provided by the map. Under the instructions of the backstage mentor, he had an instinctive reaction like a puppet.
Then there is no need to care about these supporting roles.
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard someone sighing: "The biggest confidant problem has been solved. Now we can finally go home, right?"
The voices of echoing came one after another.
"Yes, I can finally leave this hell."
"After the battle in Baiye City, there should be many places in the city. I wonder how many of us can be rewarded by His Majesty with Baiye's property..."
"If I can get a reward for a house close to the white tower..."
"Stop dreaming. The new country has built a capital, and the area around the White Tower must be the area of the palace. How can I take it out and give it a reward?"
"Hey, don't dream wishfully, don't forget General Bai's proposal!"
So the puppets suddenly showed a sudden sense of surprise, and then embarrassment appeared on their faces: "General Bai, sorry, we all forgot that you advocated building a capital here..."
"But to be honest, the capital building cannot be successful in three or five years. Before that, the empire must have a center."
"Yes, you can't let His Majesty stay in the military tent to preside over the government affairs of the empire?"
"To be honest, my home is in Baiye City, and I really want to go home and have a look."
"From the perspective of building a capital in Baishan, from the perspective of a century or even a thousand years of plans, it is of course better than Baiye City, but since it is a long-term strategy, you cannot expect to achieve success in one battle. That is a great achievement that can only be achieved by generations and dozens of generations of people with persistent efforts..."
For a moment, all around Bai Xiao was surrounded by this tactful but firm voice of opposition.
And for this situation, there were already curses in the audience.
"A group of short-sighted villains! This is a strategy related to the destiny of the empire. Do you have only your own interests in your mind?"
"I think this test is too unfair, right? How can the plot develop like this?"
"Yes, I bowed to me last moment, and then said thank you to me next moment, you are a good person? Are the screenwriters and teachers of Hongshan Academy all single, right?"
"Just because Qingyue's mentor is the dean and Bai Xiao's mentor is Yuan Shi, so are you trying every means to target it?"
"...Wait, after you say this, I think it's very likely that it's the truth! Bai Xiao really lost to his mentor!"
On the other hand, the backstage screenwriters' faces were as gloomy as iron after receiving feedback from the audience.
Because the plot in the test site is not really their intention to make things difficult for them!
According to basic logic, these civil and military officials who followed Lu Hao to suppress the undead in Baishan really do not want to waste the rest of their lives in a blank wilderness after the victory of the War of Independence. The reason why they were stationed in the Baishan Plain was that they were dragged here by Lu Hao. His Majesty the Overlord wanted to stay here to suppress the undead. Can their subordinates still run back to Baiye City alone?
But now the trouble of the undead has been lifted, and they really have no reason to support Bai Xiao’s fantasy strategy.
It would be fine if Lu Hao himself intended to support it, but Bai Xiao just launched a raid on Lu Hao... Although due to special reasons, the final result was in vain. It was neither allowed to hijack Bai Xiao, nor was it determined that Bai Xiao was counterattacked on the spot. However, according to the basic script rules, Lu Hao's favorability towards Bai Xiao was directly cleared, so Bai Xiao could not get any support from Lu Hao at this time.
Even Lu Hao does not support Bai Xiao, so even if there are really a few people willing to be loyal to the empire and give everything, then they can only keep silent at this time.
To put it bluntly, Bai Xiao’s gameplay that ignores the logic of the script is originally a traitor!
The screenwriter has actually achieved the balance between the two sides as much as possible, leaving a lot of room for Bai Xiao to display in the script. For example, Lu Hao's initial favorability towards him was much higher than that of Qingyue and others. In the process of purifying pollution, there are also many tricks that can be used, and the tricks that are hidden very shallowly and can be seen at a glance. This is how to balance the strength comparison between Bai Xiao and Qingyue.
But no matter how hard the screenwriters and teachers tried, they could not resist Bai Xiao tearing a good deck of cards to pieces!
Now facing the crowd of curses, they were also indignant, and then looked at Bai Xiao in the picture with a sneer.
Keep performing and see what else you can perform next!
Bai Xiao did not disappoint them, and soon waved his hands to the puppets who were carrying strings around him: "It's okay, I can't use you, let's break up."
This was said decisively, and the puppets' reaction was also decisive. Since Bai Xiao said he could not use them anymore, there was no need to bother him anymore. Soon people retreated and returned to their own military tents.
As the crowd dispersed, the time in the test site immediately began to accelerate. At this time, Qingyue was on her way to Baiye City, and there were not many exciting plots worth paying attention to.
So in a blink of an eye, three days passed, and the Baishan Plain where Bai Xiao was located was almost empty. Lu Hao had already withdrawn the army stationed here, and together with him, he temporarily stayed in the Snake-shaped Pass fortress east of Baishan.
Although Lu Hao did not set off directly to Baiye City and did not make the final decision, Snake-shaped Pass was a strategic location 1,800 years ago, which was known as the strategic barrier on the west side of Baiye City. It was stationed in Snake-shaped Pass, which actually showed Lu Hao's tendency at this time.
At this time, Bai Xiao was facing a wilderness, and the important task of establishing the imperial capital and the Demonic Academy in the wilderness.
Looking at the empty plain in the picture, a problem arose in the hearts of all the viewers.
How will Bai Xiao play next?
Is it a city built with bare hands? Judging from the physical qualities of tribes, it is indeed easy to dig a mountain and a road. Moreover, he also has the magic tool library of Hongye Xiaozhu and countless dragon tears. Even if a simple city is built overnight, it is not incredible.
But an empty city is obviously not considered the capital. The core element of the imperial capital is still people, and most of the people in the Western Continent have already returned to Baiye City. How should Bai Xiao pull people back to Baishan?
Build luxury houses for every citizen for free? Build a world wonder in Baishan that is comparable to the white tower and jade tree?
Not to mention that project volume cannot be completed by one single hand. Even if it is done, it may indeed win over some people, but it is still far from the standard of the capital where the empire is home. There is too much to do to make people willingly settle in a strange land!
When Lu Hao refused to express his opinion and began to lean towards Baiye City, it was almost a fantasy to try to win over people's hearts and form a more appropriate plan than the capital Baiye!
However, just when people felt that the situation seemed to be clear, they saw Bai Xiao walking on the plain for a long time, suddenly clapped his hands and spoke.
Chapter completed!
