"Brother Yu is inside, you can go find him yourself, I have something to do, I’ll leave first." After speaking, Tie Zhuzi hurriedly left.

Jieke, a bit excited, arrived at Xiang Yu’s bedroom.

"Brother Yu." Jieke entered and joyfully called out.

"How’s it going over at the City Guard Army?" Xiang Yu asked with a smile when he saw him come in.

Jieke nodded and said, "Although the training is a bit exhausting, it’s fulfilling. I feel like a completely different person."

Xiang Yu poured Jieke a glass of water, then sat across from him and said, "Train well with the City Guard Army and hold yourself to high standards. Only by putting in more effort than others can you gain more."

Jieke didn’t understand what Xiang Yu meant, so he nodded and said, "I’ve always been working hard in training. During today’s combat training, several people couldn’t beat me."

"Jieke, get along well with the people in the City Guard Army, pay more attention to the things around you. In the future, I will put you to important use," Xiang Yu said bluntly.

Jieke was taken aback for a moment, then earnestly said, "Brother Yu, rest assured, I won’t let you down."

Xiang Yu also nodded and said, "Report to me immediately if there’s any situation."

Jieke nodded. He now understood Xiang Yu’s intention, knowing that he was planted by Xiang Yu as an informant in the City Guard Army.

"Understood," Jieke assured.

"Keep up the good work." Xiang Yu stood up, patted his shoulder, and then said, "I have to go out for a while."

After speaking, Xiang Yu went downstairs. Now that Lieyun City was already theirs, he needed to discuss with Jackson to see if Lieyun City was suitable for base construction.

Previously, there was a base in Lieyun City, and it was of good quality. He could have Jackson make some improvements.

He arrived at Jackson’s residence, where Jackson was leaning over a desk, drawing something. His hair was in a mess, looking more like a madman.

Seeing Xiang Yu come in, Jackson quickly walked over and said, "No, there’s a problem with the geology here. No matter how many designs I come up with, I can’t solve it."

"If this place doesn’t work, we can choose another," Xiang Yu said, pointing at a place on a map. "This area is also ours; can we build there?"

Jackson’s eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, "I’ve noticed this place too. Constructing here would be best. Both the geology and safety aspects are great."

The place Jackson pointed to was precisely the former base of Lieyun City. It was evident that back then, the Lieyun Corps had consulted experts in its design.

"Alright then, I’ll take you there now to assess the situation," Xiang Yu said, calling Jackson downstairs.

Xiang Yu got a car and drove themselves toward Lieyun City.

Along the way, development was happening everywhere. As they barely left Sun City, there was an expanse of plains ahead, with many people farming there.

"At this rate of development, this place will eventually become the economic center of this small region," Jackson couldn’t help but exclaim. "If a large market were built here, its structure should be oval-shaped..."

Xiang Yu remained silent, while Jackson muttered to himself, his mind flooded with designs, always linking any place to design concepts.

The people inside Lieyun City didn’t recognize Xiang Yu; they hadn’t realized the land had already been taken over by Xiang Yu.

Although people here were wealthier than in Sun City, they seemed numb, utterly indifferent to external matters and lived in a daze.

In such a war-torn place, they had lost hope for the future and just scrapped through each day.

There was none of the vitality seen in Sun City.

Xiang Yu directly took Jackson to the former base in Lieyun City. The place was in chaos, clearly left in a hurry by the Wolf Fang people without time to tidy up.

"Yes, this is the place," Jackson exclaimed excitedly upon reaching the base. "This is the best place to build a base. With my design, it’s guaranteed to be safe and reliable."

Seeing his excitement, Xiang Yu quickly stepped forward and asked, "Does the place need to be torn down and rebuilt?"

Jackson circled the base, then frowned and disdainfully said, "This design is rubbish, completely wasted a good spot."

Xiang Yu was left speechless; attacking the base back then took quite the effort, and if not for Wolf Fang joining the battle, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xiang Yu and Jackson toured the area, and Jackson was very satisfied with it, eager to get started on a grand project.

"Since this place is good, let’s head back first. Once you’ve got the blueprints ready, we’ll start construction," Xiang Yu said.

"No need, I’ll start designing now; have someone bring my tools here," Jackson said excitedly, glancing around.

Xiang Yu was speechless, as Jackson seemed like a madman.

"Want to go back and rest for a bit?" Xiang Yu asked.

"Not tired, if you don’t have anything to do, don’t disturb me," Jackson retorted and began walking around the base.

Xiang Yu: "..."

As Jackson was so satisfied with the site, Xiang Yu said no more and called Tie Zhuzi.

Now in Lieyun City, Tie Zhuzi was leading a team to assess the situation. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Brother Yu, what’s up?" Tie Zhuzi straightforwardly asked.

"Jackson is at the Lieyun City base; send a squad over to ensure his safety," Xiang Yu said cautiously.

"Got it, I’ll have the third battalion of the City Guard Army sent over right now," Tie Zhuzi responded quickly.

Tie Zhuzi was excited, having found through his investigation that the city was very safe, with none of Wolf Fang’s remnants.

Moreover, there were many beautiful women here, much better in quality than those in Sun City, making him slightly excited.

"Brothers, we have a new mission now, let’s go..." Tie Zhuzi called out excitedly, leading the City Guard Army towards the base.

Xiang Yu took another tour around Lieyun City, then took out his phone and called Long Wu.

"What’s up?" Long Wu yelled.

The other end was noisy, with the sound of machinery rumbling; clearly, Long Wu was on a construction site.

"The base is about to be built; we need a construction team," Xiang Yu stated simply.

"No way, we’re too short-handed right now, can’t manage it here at all," Long Wu refused.

"Figure out something, only by having the base constructed can we have more confidence in development, or we’ll always be under others’ shadows," Xiang Yu said earnestly.

Long Wu didn’t understand the current situation or fully grasp Xiang Yu’s words, but she knew the base construction was crucial.

She thought for a moment and said, "I’ll arrange as best as I can. I just got off the phone with Sun Bo; he’ll be dispatching the next batch of construction teams soon."

"Alright, if the new construction teams can’t arrive, let them come to construct the base first," Xiang Yu said decisively.

Development is undoubtedly important, but stability is key to everything.

As he’s soon heading back to China, he must have the base construction underway. He trusts Jackson; once the base is constructed, security concerns will be addressed...
