Chapter 121 The Mountain-Cut

I guess he had seen the rough and cruel methods of soldiers. Li Si was still scared and dared not deny it. "The prince is here, and the villain said that twelve years ago, the villain was a villager of Heishuizhai. Our ancestors have been relying on the mountains and rivers to eat water for generations. As long as North Vietnam does not launch troops to invade the territory, we can live and work in peace. But at that time, North Vietnam's border soldiers often came to the village to grab food. We were really miserable, so we hoped that the court would send troops to fight back and expel them. Later, the North Vietnamese army invaded the territory, and the court really sent a large army to come. We were very happy and thought that we could finally breathe a lot of anger."

Although Baili Changqing was only in his teenage years old and was not as weak as a slightest, he followed his father to the front line. He still remembered the situation at that time, but did not interrupt Li Si, and just said calmly: "What's the matter?"

Li Si swallowed his saliva and continued: "Master Baili used his troops like a god and quickly repelled the enemy troops in North Vietnam. Our village was beating drums and drums, and he was happy and thought he would have a good life in the future."

Chu Yao also knew that after the old marshal died in his country, Donglan was defeated, and the people on the border lived in vain and were full of sorrow. What good days should we talk about?

Li Si narrowed his eyes and continued to recall, "It was cold and the weather was very cold. One day, an official army came to the village to recruit craftsmen."

"What are you recruiting craftsmen?" The person who asked was Feng Wei.

Li Si's eyes showed panic, "We didn't know what to do at that time. We only knew that the wages were very high, 30 cents a day, which was worth the wages of hard work for a month. Many people broke their heads and rushed to go. The official army picked thirty strong men from it, and I was among them. Later, when I arrived at the construction site, I realized that it was a mountain and that it was a night."

"Why?" King Jiang Xia's thick eyebrows were deep, his body was as cold as ice, and his murderous intent burst out.

Li Si didn't dare to look up and noticed a cold chill, and his body subconsciously shrank, "Prince, money can make the devil push the mill. People's wages are so high. One of the most important requirements is to lower their heads to work. If they don't have many words, how dare we ask more questions?"

Chu Yao said at the right time: "Prince, Li Si said that he was a villager of Heishuizhai after he was drunk. He was heard by the deputy general under the command of the general. The general was suspicious and rushed to ask. When he was drunk, he said that someone had recruited craftsmen to dig the mountain. When he woke up, he refused to admit anything. The general thought that things were not that simple, so he brought him back."

In front of King Jiangxia, Li Si did not dare to deny it. His life was like an ant in King Jiangxia's hands. "We rested during the day and worked at night. Twenty days later, the foreman said that the construction would be completed the next day. After the completion, he would pay the wages and would invite everyone to have a big meal. Everyone was very happy."

Speaking of this, Li Si's face suddenly turned gray, as if he had experienced something extremely scared, "But that night, everyone died and none of them survived."

Feng Wei's forehead bulged with veins, "Then why are you okay?"

Li Si was frightened, "I dare not hide it. I had a good friend at that time. On the night of paying the wages, I suddenly came to me and insisted on taking me to accompany her. Although I was anxious to get the wages for a big meal, I didn't dare to annoy her too much because I liked her, so I delayed for a while. But when my identical twin brother heard about this, he pretended to be me and went to get the wages."

"So, your brother died on your behalf?"
