Chapter 388

"Starting from today, nearly one million corvée laborers of the Great Wall will be dissolved!"

Things having reached this point, Meng Tian had no other way.

He could only obey the order.

"General..."

The group of military generals wanted to speak but hesitated.

This was their lifeblood, yet it was dissolved because of a single order.

They felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.

Meng Tian swept his gaze over the military generals.

"Execute the order!"

"This subordinate obeys!"

Seeing Meng Tian's firm gaze.

The military generals knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion and could only sigh in their hearts.

They all sensibly went to issue the orders.

Ordos Loop.

The Great Wall.

At noon, the corvée laborers were working.

They were working with great enthusiasm.

The work of building the Great Wall was bitter and tiring, the kind where people would die at any moment.

Many people had become somewhat numb, but they still spared no effort, wanting to finish the construction quickly.

If that were the case, they could also leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

Many people never wanted to come here again in their entire lives.

Some corvée laborers were worked to death, and some were killed by the Xiongnu who came to harass and raid.

In any case, this place had left them with too many profound impressions.

They only had one wish, which was to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

Today, the Great Wall ushered in a special day.

The corvée laborers who were originally working all received the order to stop construction.

Hundreds of large and small corvée groups all stopped working at the same time.

And the 300,000 border defense troops all gathered near them.

Every soldier held a weapon in their hand, and the momentum was too astonishing.

This made the corvée laborers somewhat confused.

They did not know what had happened.

Could it be that the tiger-wolf army of Great Qin wanted to kill them?

Otherwise, why did they all stop working?

People building the Great Wall here had never stopped before.

It would be good enough if they didn't work overtime; wanting everyone to stop working was a dream.

But now, they had truly stopped construction.

And it was not just one section of the Great Wall, but all the Great Walls had stopped construction.

This left those corvée laborers who gathered together scratching their heads.

Everyone came down from the Great Wall and gathered together on the ground.

The crowd was dense, group after group.

They did not know what fate awaited them.

"What is going on? Why did everyone stop working?"

"I don't know; maybe there is a problem with the project? Otherwise, why would everyone stop working?"

"You say, could it be that they are going to let us go home? Otherwise, why would everyone stop working?"

"Brother, I have no grudge against you; why do you treat me like a fool?"

"Let us go home? Are you sick? If you haven't woken up, go to sleep quickly."

"The Xiongnu harass our progress from time to time, and the Great Wall has not been completed yet."

"Why do you have such thoughts? Why would they let us go home?"

"Maybe there is a problem with the project, and it would be miserable if it needs major repairs."

"This... working is so tiring, there's nothing wrong with fantasizing, right?"

The corvée laborers were all guessing why they stopped working, but no one could guess it.

They could only wait for the order from above.

Soon, the corvée laborers stopped discussing.

Because they all saw hundreds of cavalrymen galloping towards their position.

It looked like they were going to convey some order.

The corvée laborers felt some anticipation and a little nervousness.

Because they did not know what would happen next.

If the quality of the Great Wall was not good and needed to be renovated again, they would be miserable.

"Decree of the Qin Qin Shi Huang, His Highness the Crown Prince is here in person; you all receive the decree!"

The cavalry rode their horses to the gathered corvée laborers and stopped.

Such a voice rang in the ears of countless corvée laborers.

Hearing that it was the decree of His Majesty the Qin Qin Shi Huang, the corvée laborers all became solemn.

There was not a sound at the scene, and everyone wanted to listen carefully.

After all, there were too many people, and if they didn't quiet down, they really wouldn't be able to hear the cavalry's voice.

"Imperial grace is vast; His Majesty the Qin Qin Shi Huang sympathizes with all the people, and you are all subjects of our Great Qin!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived in person to dissolve all of you!"

"You are dissolved; those with homes can go home, and those without homes will be assigned new homes by the imperial court."

"As long as you are registered, you can all go home!"

The words of the cavalrymen rang out among the major corvée groups.

Resounding throughout the whole field!

The corvée laborers who heard these words were stunned at first.

They all suspected that something was wrong with their ears.

The scene became completely quiet.

It was not until they heard it three times that they heard it clearly.

Subjects of Great Qin!

His Majesty the Qin Qin Shi Huang sympathizes with all the people!

His Highness the Crown Prince came in person to dissolve them and let them go home!

They were actually being dissolved and let go home!

This news shocked them.

How is this possible?

Everyone thought they were dreaming.

They pinched their thighs one after another, and suddenly they were grimacing in pain.

This was truly a shocking and unexpected piece of news!

Before, some people had fantasized about whether they were going to be dissolved.

Otherwise, why would they have gathered them all together?

But they were only fantasizing.

They even laughed at themselves for this thought.

Because this was simply unrealistic and impossible to happen.

But now it had come true.

How could this not shock them? ===== CHAPTER 390 =====
