Chapter 390: Seeing Twenty Li? What is that?

~4 min read 713 words

The voices of the corvée laborers were one wave higher than the last!

The loud shouting of nearly a million people.

Piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks!

Changing the wind and clouds!

This sound wave was so loud that even the herds of cattle and sheep on the vast grassland outside the Great Wall fled upon hearing it.

After the voices of the corvée laborers stopped.

There was no chaos, but they followed the arrangements of the soldiers on the scene to register.

They were already impatient to go home.

But they knew they couldn't be chaotic; there were too many people.

Once it became chaotic, a stampede would definitely occur.

At this moment, they were all queuing up to register in an orderly manner.

And many more were kneeling on the ground crying bitterly and had not gotten up.

On the side of the military camp.

At this time, most of the soldiers had been sent by Meng Tian to the bottom of the Great Wall to stand by.

There were not many soldiers left here.

It was just because he was afraid that this news was too shocking and would trigger unnecessary riots.

But what Meng Tian did not expect was that after the corvée laborers received this news.

Not only did they not riot, but they consciously lined up to register.

The loud shouting of the corvée laborers could be heard clearly even from as far away as the camp.

It shows how powerful the loud shouting of nearly a million people was.

It shows how excited the corvée laborers were at this time.

"General Meng Tian, look at them like this, will they rebel?"

"If they really had the heart to rebel, they probably wouldn't be so excited, right?"

"And they all knelt down towards the direction of Xianyang, didn't they?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at Meng Tian lightly, and Meng Tian smiled awkwardly.

This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Eh, Your Highness, how did you know they all knelt down?"

Meng Tian wanted to ease the embarrassment.

And he really didn't know how His Highness knew about the situation in the distance.

They were in the military camp, and the distance to the location of the Great Wall was about five li.

The naked eye could only see a general idea; it was impossible to see them kneeling.

Let alone Meng Tian.

Even the surrounding military generals, Xiao He, Han Xin, and others were very curious.

No one knew how His Highness saw it.

Could it be that black thing in his hand?

Because they saw Ying Ying Zi Ye take out something about the thickness of an arm from his sleeve.

They didn't know what it was, but they saw His Highness holding this thing and looking at the location of the Great Wall from time to time.

They had never seen this thing; it was black, seemed to be empty inside, and would shine under the sunlight.

"Oh, you mean this."

"This is called a telescope, also called a thousand-mile mirror."

"The visual range is 20 li (10 kilometers); the actual distance depends on weather and other factors."

"If the weather is good, you can see further than this distance, but if the weather is not good, you can't see far."

Ying Ying Zi Ye said very indifferently, looking as if he were talking about an insignificant matter.

But the military generals on the side were dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Telescope?

Thousand-mile mirror?

They had never even heard of it.

This was also their first time seeing it.

What this is is not important.

The important thing is that they heard this thing can see twenty li!

If the weather is good, you can even see further!

What kind of divine artifact is this again?

Such a small thing can see twenty li?

Has His Highness gone insane?

He really dares to say this!

Do you know how far twenty li is?

A group of people stopped talking.

Looking at Ying Ying Zi Ye as if looking at a lunatic.

Ying Ying Zi Ye saw that there was no sound, turned his head and looked at the crowd.

Seeing that they were all looking at him with a strange look. ===== CHAPTER 392 =====
