Under his tough measures, the anxious crowd finally calmed down temporarily and did not dare to act rashly.
Maodun swept his gloomy eyes over the coalition forces, his thin lips tightly pursed, the people's hearts were scattered.
However, he had only been on the throne of Chanyu for a short time, and he still had lofty ambitions. He had long coveted the prosperity of the Central Plains.
However, I didn’t expect that the Qin Dynasty would be so powerful.
At this point, he can no longer stop whenever he wants.
His pride wouldn't allow him to bow his head!
Due to the continuous rainy days, construction projects in various parts of Daqin were forced to stop a lot, especially the construction of the Great Wall and the new city of Xianyang. Materials are still being transported from various places.
The rainy days also stopped the transportation of materials, but the construction of the Great Wall did not stop.
Liu Ji lay in the haystack in a daze, eating sweet potato porridge. He didn't know when such days would end.
A lot of people were withdrawn from the army, and those left to guard the Great Wall were basically new recruits.
Even among the new recruits, there are about 100,000 or 200,000 of them. Even if he wanted to run away, he would not be able to do so. He would probably be hacked to death after running a few steps.
The days of building the Great Wall were really tiring. In just two or three years, he had gone from a strong man to a somewhat hunched over person.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the people guarding here paid some special attention to him.
For example, now, he was sitting in a haystack eating porridge, and a soldier on a watchtower not far away seemed to be watching him.
Of course, it is also possible that he was overthinking it. The soldiers on the watchtower must observe every place.
Liu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly. It didn't rain much in Shangjun, so they continued working as usual.
Now that His Majesty has sent troops to attack the Huns, he has been in Shangjun for so long that he has learned a lot about the Qin army.
The Qin army will surely win this battle.
He only hoped that His Majesty could quickly conquer the Xiongnu. Since the Xiongnu and Yuezhi were all territories of the Qin Dynasty, there was naturally no need to build the Great Wall.
Building the Great Wall is really tiring. If the Great Wall is not built, His Majesty might be able to pardon these people.
The current policies of the Qin Dynasty are very good. In such an era, I will definitely not starve when I return there in the future.
Looking forward to going home, Liu Ji's face became a little gloomy as he thought of Lu Zhi.
The woman who was used as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits has now completely broken free from his control and even become a favorite of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Although he was building the Great Wall, information was now more circulated with the help of the official bulletin, and he naturally knew a lot about Lu Zhi's affairs.
Even his fellow workers who built the Great Wall with him laughed at him after they found out that Lu Zhi had been married to him before, saying that he was blind and didn't know how to coax such a capable woman earlier.
He was angry at the ridicule at first, but gradually got used to it.
He was indeed blind. If he had been able to coax Lu Zhi at that time, she would not have ignored him.
If he had coaxed her, he might have followed Lu Zhi to Xianyang to live a good life.
At this time, Lu Zhi, who was being talked about by Liu Ji, had just gotten off work and was chatting and laughing with the little wolfdog Feng Zhaowu.
"As His Highness's assistant minister, Lord Lu has so many things to do every day, but he can handle them all with ease. Lord Lu is getting more and more powerful." Feng Zhaowu praised without any reservation.
"I'm not as great as you say." Lu Zhi blushed a little after being praised, and felt embarrassed. This guy was really too enthusiastic and too familiar.
"Lord Lu, don't underestimate yourself. If you were not capable, how could His Highness directly choose you as an assistant minister?" Feng Zhaowu said seriously.
As the two were talking here, Sheng Guanping, who was not far away, stopped in an empty corner and fell into deep thought while listening to their conversation.
This guy speaks so nicely, no wonder he was able to coax Lu Zhi.
He obviously had a good relationship with His Highness and they had known each other for so many years, but His Highness didn't feel anything special about him.
I sighed in my heart, wishing I hadn't always made His Highness angry.
Now that she has returned to Xianyang and become the crown prince of the Qin Empire, she is no longer someone he can covet.
Although I still feel a little unwilling, I have to move forward in life.
Thinking about his current life, Sheng Guanping started to have a headache again.
His mother started looking for girls for him. As he entered the cabinet, he became an assistant minister and the person closest to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
This also made his mother start to become arrogant, and she even wanted to choose a girl from the direct line of the Wang, Meng, Feng, or Li families for him.
He just thought that his mother was crazy. Who gave her the confidence?
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Your face changes from gloomy to bright." Zhao Qingrui walked behind Sheng Guanping at some point and suddenly patted Sheng Guanping on the shoulder.
Zhao Qingrui's sudden move startled Sheng Guanping.
She was very close to him, and a faint cool fragrance came over him, which was very pleasant to smell.
Turning around, Sheng Guanping quickly took two steps back.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I was just thinking about some family matters." Sheng Guanping bowed.
"No need to be so polite. I haven't visited Shusun Fengchang for a while. Do you want to go together?" Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
Ever since Sheng Guanping knew her identity, he has become much more distant from her.
"It's my honor." Sheng Guanping agreed quickly.
When I walked out of the palace, the entire Xianyang city outside had been demolished, and most of it had even been cleared out.
"I really want to see Xianyang City completed soon." Zhao Qingrui looked outside and said expectantly.
