The happy life of a prodigal

All such fiascos!

I see......

At this moment, General Qi Yan was really curious.

Curious about who the legendary Marquis Xin An was, who was able to transform Da Chu into a brand new Da Chu in such a short period of time!

Even a beggar can't help feeling admiration for the other party.

Time passed, and after more than ten days of difficult journey, on this day, General Qiyan finally pushed all the captives of Kelei's department outside the capital.

Not surprisingly, outside the capital, thousands of elites from the Shenji Battalion were ready to accept the captives.

General Qi Yan looked at the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who were wearing light armor and had firm expressions, holding firecrackers in front of them, and took a deep breath.

He rode forward, looked at a mighty looking general in front of him, and said loudly: "I am Qi Yanhong, these are the prisoners of the Kelei Department, I will hand them over to you!"

Chapter 9 Mining

The general of Shenji Battalion stepped forward, with a solemn expression, nodded, and said: "I am here to receive the prisoners under the order of Duke An. You have completed your mission, and you can return after a short rest."

General Qi Yan also nodded when he heard this, and only said one word: "Okay."

Then, he looked at the soldiers of the Qiyan Department behind him, and said loudly: "Return!"

"Yes!"

More than 2000 soldiers of the Begging Yan Department shouted in unison, then followed behind their general and rode away.

As for what to stay and rest for a while, they all knew in their hearts.

If I stay outside the capital for a second longer, the hearts of the civil and military officials of the Great Chu court will tremble for a second. If this is the case, it is better to leave earlier.

Leaving earlier was also for the sake of my own safety, so that these Chu people would not regret it and find their own affairs.

A group of people from the Begging Yan Department left in such a mighty way.

In a blink of an eye, there were only tens of thousands of prisoners of the Kret tribe left in the open space outside the capital.

These captives were old and young, male and female, and they all looked pretty good.

At this moment, they were all standing in place, looking anxiously at the weapons in front of them who did not know what kind of weapons they were holding, not knowing what to do.

No matter how cruel the begging Yan people are, they have the same customs and speak the same language as them.

However, these Chu people are different.

Among other things, it is very strenuous to communicate.

"Ada, what will the Chu people do to us?"

The boy looked at the Chu people in front of him with timid eyes, and asked Krezen cautiously.

Krezen was also a little uneasy.

Because he knows that these Chu people are the ones who really decide their own destiny, and those beggars are just tool people to escort him.

The fate of myself and my children, as well as my clansmen, is all decided by these Chu people!

He looked at his child and said in a low voice: "It's okay, no matter what happens later, don't talk or make a sound. If those Chu people do something, you will lie down on the ground with Ah Da, understand don't know?"

Hearing this, the boy naturally understood what Ah Da meant.

It's nothing more than pretending to be dead. Born in a warlike tribe like the Kret, this knowledge is just common sense to them.

When encountering an opponent whose strength gap is too large, playing dead may not help you avoid a catastrophe, but if you don't pretend to be dead, you must not escape this catastrophe!

This point, the boy still understands.

"Ada, I understand!" The boy nodded vigorously and replied.

While speaking, there was a burst of discussion among the crowd.

Krezen looked up, and saw a luxuriously dressed young man riding a horse, appearing at the forefront of the team.

Beside him, dozens of guards in heavy armor stared at everything around him, obviously on extreme alert.

Needless to say, these Kelie people also understand that this luxuriously dressed young man has an extraordinary status!

Most likely......

This time, it was the young man's intention that the Qiyan tribe wantonly captured prisoners in various tribes on the grassland!

"Ada..."

The boy also noticed this scene, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Kledzeng say: "Be quiet, don't talk, get ready."

"En." Hearing this, the boy nodded without asking the question he originally wanted to ask.

After waiting for a while, the young man in brocade clothes spoke.

It was the language of the Chu people, none of them could understand it.

Everyone's expressions became a little strange, not knowing what to do.

They can't understand the language of Chu people!

Even so, they could all hear the deep and magnetic voice of this brocade-clothed young man, obviously the voice of someone in a high position.

Indeed, the voices of the people who are humble and noble are also different.

A person of noble status, the voice of speaking, either makes people listen to the spring breeze, or makes people listen to it and feel awe.

The young man in front of him looked very young, but his voice made everyone present feel intimidated. This is the temperament cultivated by living in a high position for a long time.

It's not just the psychological effect of everyone present.

When the people in Kelei's department didn't know what to do, a soldier beside the young man in brocade clothes suddenly spoke.

"The person next to me is one of the four current Dukes of our Great Chu, Duke Anguo!"

"An Guogong said just now that you are not my captives, Da Chu, but our Fang Xiu's captives! Your wealth and lives are tied to me!

From now on, you are my buddies!All you need to do is help me mine!

I will give you a chance to get rid of the status of captives!All of you are young and strong, all of you are grouped, 100 people form a group!

As long as the weight of mining can be ranked among the top ten in the same group, after three years, you can regain your freedom, take your family, choose a place in Lianghu Road, and live with peace of mind!

Those in the top [-] will also be free after five years and find a place on Liangchuan Road!

Those who rank in the top sixty will be free after eight years and find a place on Southwest Road!

The rest of you will mine for me for ten years, and you will also be free!

During this period, if anyone dares to escape, the time for those in the same group to be free will be postponed by two years!

During the mining period, you can only live in the place designated for you. If you have any needs, you need to tell your supervisor in advance!

In addition, your family members can also live with you. The young ones can study and read in the academy, and the old ones need to weave, farm and support themselves.

Of course, if you have extra strength, you can continue to work after digging the mine, and you will be rewarded. This reward is not much, and it is enough for your family to eat and drink!

Those who run away will not only be punished by the same group, but also their family members will be punished. Regardless of the reason, they will be executed immediately. Do you understand! ? "

The voice fell, and the audience was silent.

After a moment of silence, a burst of heated discussions suddenly broke out!

What is mining, many of them actually do not know.

But there are also some people who know it, especially blacksmiths, who know that this iron does not fall from the sky, it is iron ore that needs to be dug out of the ground and smelted.

Many of them have also seen iron ore and know that mining is an extremely hard work.

Few people are willing to do such drudgery if they are not desperate.

It is precisely because of this that at this moment, their faces are full of joy.

Because they knew that An Guogong asked them to mine, but he didn't intend to put them to death.

In addition, the most exciting thing for them is freedom!

According to what this An Guogong said, many of them only need to sell their strength for three years to be free!

This... is simply a great thing!

Chapter 9 Requirements of Supervisors

For a time, the entire open space was filled with heated discussions.

There is no doubt that the discussion is about mining.

For a group of defeated captives, this treatment was so good that it made them feel a little unrealistic.

Even many people don't believe it, the facts are really as the An Guogong in front of him said.

You know, they are defeated captives, and generally speaking, they are pushed to the front line as cannon fodder.

The better ones are still slaves, doing some physical work, living in a dark environment all their lives, and never having a bright future.

However, according to this An Guogong, no matter how poorly they mine, as long as they don't run away, they will be free after ten years?

After losing freedom again, there is nothing more precious than freedom in this world!

Especially for those people who live on the grasslands.

After these people heard the news, their faces were full of joy, and they looked expectantly at An Guogong Fangxiu who was not far away.

Fang Xiu also looked at them, waved his hands and said, "This is the end of the conversation, and you have no right to choose, so get out!"

After speaking, he rode on the horse, turned around and left here.

The guards naturally followed closely, not leaving a step.

The remaining soldier translated Fang Xiu's remaining words.

Everyone in Kret looked at each other, and they could all see a special emotion in each other's eyes.

It's called hope!

In any case, they still have something to look forward to.

It is nothing more than working hard for this young man for ten years. Compared with losing freedom and losing life, what is it?

It is simply not worth mentioning!

Because of this, everyone relaxed their vigilance and felt that the whole person was much more relaxed.

Even Kledzen, who had been on guard all the time, was like this.

Because he knew that there was absolutely no need for Chu people to deceive them.

They are all bound in chains.

Even if this young man clearly told them that he would treat them as slaves and let them spend their entire lives in the mine.

They have nothing to do, and they have no capital to resist.

But the young man didn't do that.

Just this point is enough to make him trust this young nobleman of Great Chu!

Of course, besides this, I have no other choice.

Thinking this way, he saw these soldiers of the Shenji Battalion in front of him step forward.

He succeeded those beggars and became the new guard.

What happened afterwards was just as the young nobleman of Chu said.

The [-] Klei prisoners were divided into five teams.

Each team is 2000 people.

Then, among the 2000 people, seven or eight hundred strong laborers were selected.

These laborers were divided into eight groups, each group was close to 100 people.

Then he was escorted to another place.

Everything is the same as that young Chu nobleman said.

Kledzen was assigned an open-pit mine.
