The land of the northern frontier.
Jiuyuan County Great Wall area!
The north wind howls like a ghost crying.
The night sky was even darker, and the bright moon and stars disappeared.
Under night.
The pouring rain washed the earth.
Wash away the filth and blood of the world.
In a huge stone and wooden house.
The lights were dim.
"Brother!"
A young man wearing tattered cloth that covered his body had a smile on his face.
A basin of hot water was brought and placed next to the bed of a middle-aged man wearing a coat but with a slovenly look and a beardless mouth.
"Ha, it's so cool!"
The middle-aged man first washed his face with hot water, put a towel on it, and then soaked his feet, which was very comfortable.
"Xiao Zhang, you did a good job. Brother, I am very happy!"
The middle-aged man's voice was as gloomy as a drake's voice.
"Hehe, I usually rely on Brother Liu Ji to take care of me, so I should do this!"
The man named Xiao Zhang said with a grand smile.
The middle-aged man was apparently Liu Ji, who was castrated into an eunuch and sent to the northern border to build the Great Wall!
"Ah!"
Liu Ji chuckled, his eyes showing both pride and hatred.
He has been here for more than half a year, and although he suffered a lot when he first came here, he has managed to thrive thanks to his shameless spirit.
Now he has become an overseer, managing a hundred people under his command!
Of course, quite a few people have died at this moment, not all of them.
"Brother, give me some beef jerky!"
At this time, another middle-aged man came over with a smile, holding a bag of beef in his hand.
"Hey, where did this come from?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Ji took it, picked up a piece, tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction.
He generously distributed it to the middle-aged man, Xiao Zhang and a few people around him.
"Hey, isn't this news of a great victory coming from the southern battlefield of Great Qin?"
"We've also started celebrating here. The army has enough food and wine. I'm friends with the civilian soldiers from Huotou Camp, and he gave it to me!"
The middle-aged man happily ate beef and said with a smile.
"It would be nice if I had some wine."
Liu Ji sighed.
"You can't do that, the alcohol control is too strict."
The middle-aged man shook his head.
At this time, a few more people came. They were eating beef jerky slowly and chatting, which was very lively.
boom!
There was a muffled sound.
Like thunder rolling from the sky.
However, when I looked up out the window, I saw no lightning or thunder.
"what happened?"
Xiao Zhang touched the back of his head and asked doubtfully.
"Go out and have a look!"
Liu Ji rolled on the bed and stood up, his eyes flashing.
If something happened in the middle of the night, it would really make people sleep uneasy.
"good!"
The middle-aged men nodded and put on their raincoats one after another.
Liu Ji was wearing a raincoat and holding an oil-paper umbrella. He grabbed a torch in his other hand and lit it. He led the way and moved forward in search of the sound.
A dozen middle-aged men and Xiao Zhang also followed.
We can't go more than a hundred feet forward.
Liu Ji stopped and his eyes widened with horror in his eyes.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
The middle-aged man, Xiao Zhang and others asked aloud.
"Come here and take a closer look by the firelight!"
Liu Ji's voice was low, revealing a hint of trembling.
The middle-aged man, Xiao Zhang and others heard the sound and took a few steps forward.
The strong wind blew, and the firelight swayed.
But it illuminated a section of the collapsed city wall.
A large area of bricks and stones was piled up, and the loess was washed away by the rain and turned into a yellowish mud.
Under the dim night, it is impossible to tell the difference.
But it's at least ten feet long.
The Great Wall has fallen!
"What's going on now?"
The middle-aged man suddenly exclaimed.
Xiao Zhang also frowned and murmured: "How could the Great Wall fall? How could it be allowed to fall?"
The collapse of the Great Wall will inevitably affect the progress of the project.
If it is not completed on time, not only will they who are responsible for this project be executed, but their family members will also become slaves...
"Don't panic, don't panic!"
Liu Ji took a deep breath and looked calm.
He looked at the crowd and said, "Maybe only a small part of the city wall has collapsed. Let's look elsewhere."
After everyone heard this, hope was rekindled in their eyes.
"Yes, maybe it's just a little bit. We can fix it if we have some time on weekdays!"
Xiao Zhang's body trembled and he spoke.
Liu Ji held the torch and led everyone to one side and walked some distance away.
Just as far as the eye could see, the city wall collapsed!
The middle-aged man, Xiao Zhang and others couldn't help but feel nervous and panicked.
At the end, Liu Ji stopped and said with a gloomy face: "The Great Wall, as far as we can tell, has collapsed by more than 500 feet. I'm afraid we won't be able to repair it on time."
When everyone heard this, they also fell silent, unable to stop feeling frightened in their hearts.
This time, he is dead!
"Brother, what should we do?"
Xiao Zhang couldn't help crying and said sadly: "I'm still young and I haven't asked for a wife yet. I'm not willing to die like this!"
The middle-aged man was also trembling, and he and the other dozen people looked at Liu Ji.
Liu Ji felt terrified and uneasy. He felt that the blade had been placed on his neck, and it was so cold and biting.
The whistling wind at night was also a ghostly sound in his ears.
His heart skipped a beat, but Liu Ji made up his mind, stared at everyone with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, we will die no matter what, so why not run away!"
At this point, the only option is to run away.
"good!"
"Can!"
"We listen to big brother..."
Everyone responded one after another.
It is said that most of them are criminals and were punished as Chengdan.
Nowadays, it doesn’t matter if one crime is added to another.
Simply run away and get free!
"Now, let's go back quietly and gather more brothers to escape."
"No matter what, we must rescue them!"
Liu Jiyi said righteously.
After all, the laws of Daqin are linked together. Once they run away, others will also be implicated.
"good!"
"Go back first and prepare clothes and food."
"Bring the brothers out together!"
Everyone responded.
He immediately returned to the house, shouted to the others, and gathered them together.
"Brothers, the Great Wall has collapsed!"
Liu Ji opened his mouth.
The others were suddenly surprised and their expressions changed.
"Brother, are you joking?"
Some people couldn't believe it.
"Brother is not joking!"
The middle-aged man said solemnly.
Xiao Zhang also said: "I can testify."
The others were horrified and looked at Liu Ji and others.
The dozen or so people before him also nodded.
"Now, if we want to survive, we have to escape from here and escape to the grassland."
"Otherwise, it will be beheading!"
Liu Ji bewitched everyone, and his words were all about killing those who missed the deadline, and said in a deep voice: "We are leaving tonight, now pack your clothes and food."
"Whoever wants to come along can follow Big Brother."
"If you don't want to, I won't force you!"
Say it.
He immediately turned around and packed up his things.
When the others heard this, their expressions were tangled.
But only after a few breaths, others also became determined.
Either way, it's death!
If Liu Ji and others leave, they will also sit together.
"Let's follow big brother too!" Everyone responded.
When Liu Ji saw this, he was secretly happy and immediately led his people away, disappearing into the dark night.
