The prisoners in Hezhou and Danzhou went north, just like the migration of migratory birds, which can be described as majestic. However, the migratory birds are looking for warmer places, and these prisoners are "going up despite the cold".
The prisoners from both states were all driven out to the fiefdom of the Border Guard King. Such a massive move could not go silently. After these prisoners entered Shuozhou, the Border Guard King's fiefdom, and were accepted by the Border Guard King without hesitation, this
The news slowly spread in Chu State.
Some people say that this border guard king is probably crazy about people. Since the army of Shang State invaded the border, many local residents of Huzhou and Saizhou, which border Shang State, have run away. Otherwise, they would be the three northwest states of Chu State.
lessons learned from the past.
Is the prince in charge?
People in the three northern Chu states are all optimistic about this prince. You must know that he lost the three northwest states to Huo Huo. I really don’t know why the current emperor still gave him these three northern Chu states as a fiefdom, but he just dares to be angry and dare not
In other words, it might as well be left to those who want to get promoted and make a fortune.
Therefore, in order to enrich his fief, the prince accepted these people. There is even unreliable news that when these prisoners arrived in the fief of the Border Guard King, not only were they exempted from all kinds of crimes, but they were also given houses and land.
Something like that, it felt like being reborn, which made some of the wanted people want to take action.
But some people say that the war in the north is so intense that all the farmers have left, and the border guard king cannot find more food, so he has no choice but to grit his teeth and accept these offenders and let them come here to work as coolies.
"So, this border guard king is a foolhardy man. He just randomly found some people, dug up the ground, sprinkled water, and crops were immediately grown in the ground? The crops are so easy to grow, so we, the peasants, don't have to.
He won't be beaten once and for all."
In some rural towns, some barefoot farmers who were not afraid of wearing shoes openly scolded this prodigal border guard king.
Anyway, I can still hear interesting things like this on New Year's Eve, so I treat it as a side dish.
.......
East Palace of Yingdu Imperial City.
As the New Year is approaching and there is no need to go to court, His Royal Highness, who has finally had some leisure time, is lying on his soft couch made of precious mahogany, covered with a silk quilt from tribute, looking at the memorial sent by the eunuch.
There is also a beautiful and charming Crown Princess waiting on her.
"Shuhua, what do you think this border guard king is doing? Is it true that he is filling the population and opening up wasteland for farming, as the people say?"
Princess Shuhua handed the prince a cup of hot tribute tea and said, "A little girl like Shuhua cannot understand the thoughts of the Border Guard King."
"You are not a little girl. You have helped me a lot. It can be said that without you, I would not have been able to sit on the position of prince so easily." Jiang Zuo held her warm and soft palm and said. "Back then,
Father asked you to betrothed to him, but he was blind and did not like you. It is a huge loss. We are a destined couple."
"Glib tongue." Shuhua broke away from Jiang Zuo's hand. After all, there are still maids here, and no matter how affectionate they are, they are embarrassed to kiss me in front of others.
"I heard that there is an actress in the south of the city who sings very nice songs. Don't you like to listen to music the most? How about summoning her to the palace to listen to you."
"I think the drunkard's intention is not in the bar?" Shuhua smiled delicately.
"How could it be? It's enough for me to have you. I usually don't have time to accompany you. Now that I don't have time, I just want to listen to music with you. Since you don't like it, let's forget about it." Jiang Zuo Ai Lian said.
"I didn't tell you not to listen. Just find some time, you busy man." Shuhua pointed Jiang Zuo's head with her jade finger. Even if Shuhua knew his little thoughts, she could still be arrogant.
?She can't. Her family has taught her what to do and what not to do since she was a child. Now she is only one step away from being below the top of ten thousand people. She has to be careful every step she takes. Taking a wrong step is not just a loss of favor.
It's simple, but it may affect the whole family.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements after the New Year."
...
In Shuozhou, where the north wind blew, the escorting officers and soldiers returned after the handover. Soldiers and horses from different areas could enter and leave other places at will without the consent of the court. Otherwise, it would be regarded as treason. Moreover, these people were not willing to go there and see
The Chubei Three Continents of Maluo are about to be devastated. Some of the officers and soldiers responsible for escorting are destined to be unable to return home during the Chinese New Year. It just so happens that they have made a fortune this time. I also heard that the girls from Danzhou are famous in Chu State.
The water spirit was so beautiful that I just wandered around in this land of fireworks.
The prisoners' carriage did not stop and continued to be ravaged by the cold wind. The bumpy and hard work along the way made these people exhausted. After coming out for a short rest at Bailantan, these people could be said to be heading north non-stop.
They were all dealt with in the car, which was unspeakably miserable, but the most miserable thing was for the female prisoners. There were not many of them, and their fate was more miserable than that of the grown men. They already knew the fate of these people very well. When they went to the border, their fate was only
One is the military prostitutes. They cannot resist. Even if they want to die, it is almost a luxury. If the officers and soldiers were not escorted by the soldiers, they would have started to perform their duties long ago.
After traveling day and night, thousands of prisoners finally arrived at their destination, Luoyi City, with more than a hundred people dead.
Chen Mo looked at this heavily guarded city and hesitated for a moment. According to his speculation, this place should still be within the territory of Shuozhou. There are two other states behind Shuozhou. There shouldn't be a major military city here, even if there is.
It shouldn't be in such a rear area, because they had just entered Shuozhou not long ago, and this should still be in the rear area of Shuozhou.
After entering the city, Chen Mo looked at the large and small granaries and probably knew what was going on. This place should be used to store food, but why store food in a city? Chen Mo didn't know, after staying in the mountains for so long
For a long time, I was completely blank about things here.
Everyone was brought to a dilapidated and unused cell in a daze. It was probably reserved when the city was not turned into a granary. However, thousands of people were crowded into a large cell. You can imagine how crowded it was, but fortunately, they didn't have to be stabbed to the bone.
The cold wind was devastating, and many people fell into a deep sleep after arriving here, sleeping in total darkness.
Chen Mo huddled in a corner, listening to the snoring one after another, and gradually closed his eyes. Even though he was so strong, tortured, and tired from running so far, he still felt very tired and was not there.
Thinking about what kind of place this is.
Chen Mo slept soundly this night. When the next day, there was a commotion in the cell, he slowly opened his eyes. From his eyes, it could be seen that Chen Mo had recovered well. The only thing that made Chen Mo feel a little regretful was that
, the strange feeling like when I got it in the dungeon of Youcang City has never appeared before. Maybe it was a dream, but the dream was extremely real.
Everyone was taken to a large school ground, where hot white porridge had been prepared. Although it was very thin, they finally had food that could warm their stomachs. Some people even shed worthless tears with emotion. As they ate,
Some of the prisoners in Renchou began to look at the environment here, but they couldn't see anything useful except the surrounding houses and the soldiers who were serious as if they were facing the enemy. Of course, they still saw the high city walls.
Some wretched prisoners were still looking for the few female prisoners in the crowd, but they were disappointed and couldn't even find their shadows.
Chen Mo was also looking around. After looking at the environment, he glanced at the crowd. At this time, he found that being tied to so many chains was not the worst. Some people even had their bones pierced by iron tools. I guess those
They are all people with some strength in the world. The people with some strength that Chen Mo said are those who have stepped into the gate of the second realm. Otherwise, they would not be treated like this. This is mainly to make it difficult for them to gather their true energy and reduce their strength.
Lose more than half.
Chen Mo was also glad that his bones were not penetrated, otherwise he would have been even more uncomfortable.
The hot porridge was gone. Even if I wanted to eat it, I couldn't eat it. Dozens of wooden plates were removed. Just as a large group of prisoners were looking forward to whether there would be a second round, they only saw carts of porridge.
The old clothes were pushed up on a cart and placed in front of everyone. A soldier stepped on the pile of clothes on a cart, looked at the prisoners, and shouted loudly: "If it's cold, just take your own clothes and wear them."
I don’t have time to help you change your clothes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, those prisoners who were already afraid of the cold and hugging others for warmth rushed forward. At this time, they no longer cared about whether anyone would threaten them. They were freezing to death and they didn't care anymore. But they didn't know
, not long after putting on their clothes, others were eyeing them eagerly, and as expected, there was another fight.
The soldiers repairing shoes and waiting outside the school grounds watched all this happen with great interest. They waited until it was almost done before speaking out until they would not really let them kill anyone.
"Chen Mo, do you want it? I got a little more." Ah Xiao put on some clothes randomly and walked next to Chen Mo who had not made any move to fight for clothes earlier.
"You should keep it for yourself. Wear it as much as you can. These will be clothes that will accompany you for a long time in the future." Chen Mo said lightly. When he came here, he felt a familiar feeling, a feeling he had experienced before.
experience.
Ah Xiao didn't quite understand it, but here, he trusted Chen Mo's words the most.
"Alright, stand still. If anyone dares to move next time, please be careful that the guys in my hands don't have eyes." The soldier who distributed the clothes shouted, perhaps his voice was the loudest, and he let me know.
He came to be the shouting mouthpiece.
There was still some commotion among the people. Maybe they didn't hear what the soldier said, or maybe they were jealous and didn't feel warm enough themselves, so they didn't bother to pay attention to those people's nagging.
With a "shoo" sound, an arrow shot a prisoner who kept talking to the ground, but did not kill him. At this time, everyone calmed down, looked at the unlucky guy, and then turned to look at the prisoner.
The soldier who spoke, let's see how long the ivory can come out of his dog's mouth.
