Chapter 541543. Ship
"Lord Tuzhong, does the man just now look like the hermits around our king?" Just as Tuzhong began to wonder, someone next to him asked.
“I don’t know, I haven’t seen it, I just heard about it.
I have never heard anyone say that there are such powerful masters here before, otherwise I would not dare to make this trip even for my livelihood."
"Don't talk, hurry up and follow me." Following the scolding, no matter how many doubts they had, they had to endure them at this moment.
After finally arriving at the place, all I saw was an empty field of weeds.
Especially when the leader said "we're here", they felt confused and scared.
This is simply a natural execution ground, where corpses can even be dumped directly.
"Don't just stand there, clear the grass off the ground."
Tu Zhong was an interpreter among these people. He walked over tremblingly and asked, "Sir, may I ask why you brought us here...", bearing everyone's hope.
The leader, Captain Xiao, pointed to the empty space and said, "Our general is merciful and does not want to cause more killings. Now that we have spared your lives, we can atone for the mistakes you made in the past.
See this piece of wasteland? If you want to get food in the future, you have to complete the task every day.
Someone will read the rules to you shortly. Although your voice is a bit awkward, it can barely serve as a megaphone. From now on, you will be responsible for explaining everything.
Stop standing now, move quickly, or you won’t even have a place to rest at night.”
Tuzhong's face turned gray. "But our Lord Prince Zuo can go back. How are we going to explain to our Lord Prince when the time comes if you keep us here?"
Captain Xiao laughed, "Are you talking about the cowardly Prince Dongyi? I advise you not to hold out too much hope.
He will return to Dongyi early tomorrow morning under the escort of our general, and all of you are just slaves left behind by him to atone for your sins.
Your Prince Zuo said that since you are loyal to him, you should think about him. When he becomes rich and powerful in the future, he will definitely not forget your efforts. "
In the soil, "Impossible..."
Captain Xiao admired the change in his expression and said, "If you were in his position, you might run faster than him. Now stop talking nonsense and go explain to them. Get moving immediately."
Captain Xiao went over to command his soldiers and stood at several important outposts.
This group of people in front of us must be put into action as soon as possible. All the grass roots and rubble here must be cleared away within two months.
Tu Zhong was quickly surrounded by people, and everyone was asking him what news he had received.
Tu Zhong repeated what Captain Xiao had just said, and a barrage of insults came out of everyone's mouth.
"No wonder that beast Teng Shang only took away the generals of the direct branches of the big families. It seems that he really treats us as abandoned pawns."
"We were loyal and worked hard for him for so many years. We didn't expect to end up like this."
"Now that we are trapped here, what about our family? Do you think he will treat our family well when he returns?"
"What kind of beautiful dream are you having? When he becomes the high and mighty Prince Zuo again, other loyalists will soon appear around him.
We who were sold out by him have long been forgotten by him. We still expect him to treat our families well. We are lucky that he didn't kill us all."
"I can't?"
"Oh, your family doesn't know, but if my wolf cubs knew that I was sacrificed by Teng Shang, they would definitely find ways to avenge me."
"Mitsuta, you'd better pray that your kids know nothing about what we're doing here, otherwise at most they'll just add a few more dead souls."
"You damn curse me..."
“You have a really bad temper, and I’m telling the truth.
Do you think that when that moment comes, people will still cherish your feelings for them..."
…
While Captain Xiao was arranging things, he did not forget to look back at the people who were arguing. Seeing that they were arguing so fiercely, he knew that his previous words had worked.
These people have not always had the confidence to return to their homeland. Now that their beliefs are being shattered step by step, it is unknown whether they will still be as loyal as the previous groups.

Seeing the boat they had personally supervised being launched, Jin Qianqian and Gu Wenheng clenched their hands in excitement.
This is the first ship in their lives, and now it is about to set sail.
"I'll ask the crew members who are familiar with water to take this boat to the open sea for a trip." Zhou Shixiong looked at the ship, which was twice as big as the one brought by the pirates, with excitement in his eyes.
If this merchant ship can be built, it means that it can be transformed into a warship after some modifications. This is how the road is built step by step.
This meant a major step forward for Rong Dynasty's shipbuilding technology.
Thinking of the blockade of shipbuilding technology by foreign ships, Zhou Shixiong wanted to put his hands on his hips and laugh at them. Even without them, they could have done it anyway.
Watching hundreds of people pushing the boat into the water step by step and slowly reaching the deep water area, everyone jumped up excitedly.
The huge ship in front of them made the pirate ships nearby look insignificant.
"Good! Good! Good!" The people standing on the shore watching didn't know what to say, they could only say good over and over again.
Some sentimental people even began to wipe away their tears. They had suffered too much in these years. If it were not for the difficulty in leaving their homeland, they would not be able to stay in this place sooner or later just because of the frequent harassment from bandits.
Gu Wenheng turned his head to look at Jin Qianqian, who was smiling, and asked, "How is it? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"
Jin Qianqian saw people on the boat waving flags excitedly, "This is the feeling of patriotism. Next time, we must build a better and stronger boat."
Gu Wenheng, "No hurry, but this ship has to be requisitioned first, are you willing to give it up?"
Jin Qianqian: "Of course I'm reluctant to give it up. After all, this is made with real money, and it's also the result of our hard work.
You have to say hello to Brother Zhou and ask his men to take better care of him."
Gu Wenheng, "You don't need to tell me about this precious child. Brother Zhou and the others will take good care of him."
Jin Qianqian believed this. Now this ship will definitely attract attention from many parties, and everyone will only be more dedicated and careful in maintaining it.
"Then the people going out to sea this time are all experienced in water. Can they keep up with the team?"
Gu Wenheng, "These have been prepared long ago. It can be said that now, as long as there are no special circumstances in the barracks, everyone can swim back and forth in the water.
Even though there aren’t many people now, by tonight, everything will slowly fall into place.”
Jin Qianqian also secretly laughed at herself for worrying too much. No matter whether she had thought of it or not, others had definitely made better preparations.
