Chapter 371

They just needed to obey the instructions.

They didn't need to think so much about the rest.

"Understood!"

The soldiers accepted the order.

They quickly went to issue the instructions.

On Lishan, all the convicts stopped working.

At this moment, the convicts were completely bewildered, unable to make heads or tails of it.

This was the first large-scale work stoppage, and it was everyone who had stopped.

All the soldiers held their weapons, standing in battle formation.

The convicts were confused, not knowing what had happened, and their hearts were filled with panic.

More convicts were whispering, all wanting to figure out what was going on.

"Could it be that these soldiers think we work too slowly and want to kill us all?"

"Nonsense, do you think that's possible? There are hundreds of thousands of us here, how many soldiers are there?"

"Exactly, if they dare to make a move, I'll be the first to fight them to the death!"

"Anyway, this work isn't meant for humans; since we're gathered together, we might as well just riot!"

"Riot? Who dares? If you dare to riot, everyone here will die!"

"That's true, don't look at the few soldiers and overseers now, but if a riot starts,"

"we aren't far from Xianyang City; once the main army arrives, everyone here will die!"

"Then you tell me, they gathered us, they don't want to kill us, what do they want to do? They wouldn't want to release us, would they?"

"Brother, was your brain kicked by a donkey? Release us? Do you think that's possible?"

"If they release us, who will build the mausoleum? Let the soldiers build it?"

The convicts didn't dare to speak too loudly, fearing the overseers would hear them.

If that happened, they would be done for.

The person in charge of Lishan stood on high ground, looking at the dense crowd.

He couldn't help but sigh; the spring for this group of people had finally arrived!

Such a massive project, exhausting the people and wasting wealth, yet it had to be built.

Now that it was finally being disbanded, he felt many emotions.

"Everyone, be quiet, I have good news to share with you!"

The person in charge of Lishan shouted to the convicts before him.

But there were too many people; it was impossible for the whole field to hear.

Not far apart, soldiers would repeat the words of the person in charge of Lishan.

This way, it could be quickly conveyed to further places.

This also allowed the Lishan convicts to hear his words.

"Imperial grace abounds; His Majesty the Emperor and the Prince sympathize with the people of Great Qin!"

"From now on, there will be no more remnants of the six states; you are all subjects of our Great Qin!"

"His Majesty and the Prince care for the people; effective immediately, the Lishan convicts are disbanded!"

"You can all go home! For those who are homeless, Great Qin will also arrange for you to have a place to live and land to farm."

"You will receive a new life! You no longer need to be convicts; you can all return to the places you are familiar with to live!"

"Great Qin treats you as its own people; I hope you will remember to be grateful and give back to Great Qin in the future!"

"Everyone, don't cause chaos, line up, as long as you register and follow the arrangements, you can leave Lishan immediately!"

The soldiers conveyed the words exactly as they were to every corner of Lishan.

And not just once, but like repeaters, they kept saying the words of the person in charge of Lishan!

At this moment, the Lishan convicts were stunned.

This news came too suddenly, without any warning!

But the next moment, all of Lishan was completely boiling!

The convicts were so excited that tears streamed down their faces!

Some were even so excited by the news that they fainted.

Disbanded!

It was actually disbanded!

They had been gathered here, and they had had many thoughts in their hearts.

But no one had ever thought it would be disbanded!

Even if someone fantasized about mentioning it, they would be torn to shreds by criticism!

But now the accurate news had arrived: it was disbanded!

On Lishan, the voices were deafening!

Whether they knew each other or not, they hugged and wept at this moment!

Some couldn't believe it was true.

They listened carefully to the soldiers' shouts several times before they heard it clearly.

At this moment, the Lishan convicts were crazy, weeping with joy!
