The body was heavy and the pace was slow. Xiao Lingyao actually felt it was difficult. Fortunately, the road was beautifully and neatly built and the carriage was comfortable. Now when he relaxed, he collapsed on the couch and remained motionless.

Qin Feng went over as usual and relied on a doctor's instinct to massage her: "Do you regret coming here?"

"I don't regret it. When I see the new city, I seem to see new hope. If the capture of the southwest is mainly for self-protection in the sea, developing the new city is the real future of Kun." Xiao Lingyao's eyes were bright: "Tomorrow's future

Have you thought things through?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "I haven't seen them before, so I don't know what to do. Let's talk about it when we get there. Cheng Huanzhi is still here."

The two of them looked at me and I looked at you. The faint voices of Jing Wuming and Rou Ji could be heard outside. This reminded them that after the peace talks between the two dynasties, Rou Ji came back with a pair of children's pocket socks, which she regarded as a treasure.

, then embroidered a sachet and stuffed the socks inside.

Rou Ji and Song Qingming met in a hurry, leaving only a pair of socks worn by little Jingzhe. They came and went in a hurry.

When talking about Song Qingming, one has to think of Shang Huaiqing, who was rescued. After returning to the capital, this man was not questioned and escaped death.

"This person is being used again. It seems that there is not much room for us to use him." Qin Feng cannot be said to be disappointed. He is not a god, and not everything can develop as he expected: "This person has good character and strong ability.

, what a pity.”

"If we can't keep him, we have no fate, but he has also contributed to us. He has contributed the most to the southwest maritime fortifications, right?"

The two of them couldn't help laughing. Xiao Lingyao was pressed comfortably, turned her body sideways to make her body more comfortable, and fell asleep in a short while.

Qin Feng secretly got off the bed, took out the naturalization terms that Huang Tang and the others had summarized, and looked at them carefully, tapping his fingers on the table from time to time.

Lu Zhi's suggestion was excellent. Under his suggestion, everyone refined it again. It was more complete than before, and the terms and conditions were clearly laid out.

But Qin Feng knew in his heart that this was just their wishful thinking. If the prisoners were unwilling to stay, everything would be in vain.

In the bungalow area of ​​the new city, before a new day arrived, a group of soldiers were found breaking into their residence and began to pour water to clean up. This aroused the surprise of the prisoners: "Hey, the sun is coming out in the west, clean up for us."

?”

The soldiers who came in have long been accustomed to their generosity, and they have been living in peace for a long time: "Be honest, everyone knows what they are, there is a big shot coming."

Not only did they wash the floor, but they also got some flowers and plants from nowhere to put outside. The people who live here are all rough guys who are not allowed to be free. They never need these things. Look at this formation. Prisoners, look at me and I look at you.

, all felt unusual.

These bungalows were not built exactly according to the original drawings. In order to accommodate so many people in the smallest space, the interiors of all bungalows were opened up and turned into large pavilions. There was no east and west wing rooms, and large laundry rooms, bathrooms and bathrooms were built.

room.

Food is brought in from outside, on time every day, and when you leave work, you wait to be fed just like the workers.

They eat the same food, use the same food, and even pay the same wages as the workers. The biggest difference is that the workers are free to leave after work and can spend and drink as much as they like at nearby vendors, and they will be escorted back to their residences.

.

When we returned to our residence, we ate the same food as before. One day every month, the guard would arrange for vendors from outside to come into the prison camp to set up stalls.

Only on this day can they use their wages as they please to buy wine, meat, and even new clothes, shoes and socks.

One of the few days was the time when they truly felt like those free workers, but it was just too short. After the fun was over, the silence at night became more pronounced, making them even more homesick.

Today is not that day of the month, but there are such actions in the prison camp, and they can't help but guess who is coming.

Since the construction of the new city was completed, they were forced to take a rest, but their hearts were empty. They used to have work, wages, and live like human beings. Now that they are free, they can think more and think about the future.

They were prisoners and experienced a disastrous war in which military strength was disparate. They were the losing side but also the side with stronger military strength.

After treatment, the injured prisoners were left with a lot of disabilities. They could not do heavy work, so they were assigned to wash clothes and do whatever work they could for the prisoners who were working. They were also paid, which was naturally less than those who worked.

"Brother Li, what the hell is going on? Are you going to bury us?" A younger prisoner asked uneasily.

The man called Brother Li was originally a fifth-grade general. He became a prisoner and was not a general or a soldier. However, he was regarded as a leader among these people due to his past status: "Bury? Just bury him."

There were many cases of burying prisoners alive. The emperor of their first dynasty did this, and many of Daqi's defeated generals were also buried alive.

Hearing these words, everyone was chilling. It would be better to live than to die. I originally thought it was quite miserable to have no freedom, but now when I compare it, what does it mean?

If you think about it carefully, although they can't move freely, they have a lot of food, a lot of drink, and they still have money. At first, some people wanted to bully them. As soon as they started, they were caught by the people above, saying that he was their majesty.

There is an order not to mistreat prisoners of war.

This order works here, and such things become less and less, and then they disappear.

"Damn it, they won't give us a meal for a while. The workers in Jiyu have all withdrawn. We are useless now. The city has also been built."

It was time to unload the mill and kill the donkey. The more they thought about it, the more something was wrong. The commotion became louder and louder. I don't know how long it had passed before someone came and ordered them all to go out and assemble. There were not many places that could accommodate so many of them.

There is only one place specifically for gathering, but it is so crowded that only some people can stay outside and some can stay inside.

Seeing General Hong, this group of people couldn't tell what their mood was. They all stood there quite lazily and did not have to work. They were wearing uniform prison uniforms, but there were no big prison characters on their clothes.

General Hong saw that their standing posture was quite good, so he whispered: "My nobles are here, and I want to talk to you in detail. You also know that after the construction of the new city is completed, there will not be much space for you. Where do you go? You have to listen to what is said above.

."

Many people's expressions changed drastically. They were too far away to hear clearly. They asked what the people in front were talking about. The small space was filled with buzzing sounds, which was extremely unsettling. General Hong was not in a hurry and left them alone.

Restless, he shouted after a long time: "Quiet!"

His voice was so loud that for a moment, everyone was silent.

At this moment, someone trotted in from outside and leaned into General Hong's ear. General Hong immediately stood up straighter.

Then, the prisoners heard footsteps coming from far away. They were not heavy, but they landed lightly. They sounded extremely soft. When the door was opened, a group of guards came in first, holding swords and majestic.
