Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Although it’s generally certain that the tunnel leads to the top of Twin Dragon Mountain, Xia Hong had issued a strict order not to climb Twin Dragon Mountain without permission. So, they had no other option but to clear that passage out.

They’ve been clearing it for over six months since February, and it still hasn’t been sorted out. It’s not just Zhao Hu and others who are frustrated; even Lu Yang himself is upset.

”Lord He, how is the progress on the secret passage?”

The task of excavating the tunnel naturally fell to the Artisan Department.

He Xing, who was in charge of good construction in the Artisan Department, heard Lu Dong’s inquiry and answered with a wry smile: ”I personally oversaw it for a time, but by the end of June, we had dug over twenty kilometers forward and still couldn’t see the end. I was getting frustrated, so I turned it over to Fan Kui. I haven’t inquired about it for more than a month, but I can summon him to update us on the situation!”

Fan Kui was one of He Xing’s subordinates, serving as the Deputy Good Constructor in the Artisan Department of Hanqiong.

Lu Dong nodded, being aware of the progress by the end of June.

”Hurry up and call him for an update. If that’s not enough, then send more people. We must...”

”Lord, good news, very good news!”

Lu Dong’s words were suddenly interrupted by a burst of joyous shouting from outside the door.

He and the six others in the hall immediately looked up toward the door.

”It’s Xiao Yuan’s voice. Did he return from Xia City so quickly?”

”It’s just nightfall, and the escort team hasn’t returned. He must have come back early.”

”What is the good news that makes him so happy?”

...

The person who came was Xiao Yuan, Deputy Martial of the Camp Supply Department, and everyone recognized his voice at once.

In all the outposts of the Great Xia, the day they submit their materials to Xia City is the fifth of every month. In Hanqiong, it’s Xiao Yuan who is responsible.

At this moment, all seven were curious about what was making Xiao Yuan so cheerful.

Xiao Yuan entered, still wearing a broad smile, saluted everyone slightly, and then said with a grin, ”Lately, Xia City has had all kinds of happy news. The lady has given birth to a pair of twins, the First Prince Xia Yuyao and the Second Prince Xia Yusheng; the Minister’s second wife, Xiao Yu, also gave birth to a daughter named Xia Yuning; and Chen Ying has found a silver mine on the mountain’s north slope. The mine contains just over two thousand Rodents. Everyone in Xia City is saying it’s a congratulatory gift from the heavens for the birth of the two princes.”
