The next day, at dawn, the prisoners on the island heard the sound of gongs and drums.

"What happened? Did something happen? Come over and have a look."

"Why are the gongs and drums ringing so early? Something happened, right?"

"Oh no, the pirates are coming again, right?"

"Quick, quick, quick."

When the prisoners on the island hurried over, they saw at a glance Le Zhengting standing on the high platform of the military camp, holding a gong and drum, banging for a long time, until the prisoners After everyone rushed over as quickly as possible, General Wang led Wang Yang out of the main camp tent.

The agents hidden among the crowd quietly became vigilant. It is no wonder that they acted cautiously. Ever since Jia Yan failed in his mission and was captured, no news could be found out. Although he was sure that Xiao Rongjin could not find out anything from Jia Yan's mouth. Useful news, but you still have to be careful.

General Wang stood on a high platform, with two guards behind him each holding a torch, which illuminated the dark school grounds a little.

"All prisoners, please listen to me. The summer flood is coming. In order to resist this natural disaster, all prisoners on the island must participate in flood prevention work from today on. If anyone dares to do something bad at this juncture, I will kill you." No mercy!"

"Did you hear that clearly?"

"Yes, General!"

The old prisoners all know that the so-called Xia Xun refers to the plum rainy weather. Because Qiongzhou Island has a special terrain and is surrounded by the sea. Whenever it encounters plum rainy weather, it will rain continuously for two or three months. Under the heavy rain, due to the topography of the island, the entire Qiongzhou Island will be flooded by sea water at any time, submerging the entire island.

The year when Xiao Rongjin and his group of convicts first came to the island, they happened to miss the summer season, so they didn't know about it. In addition, there was extra rain on the island this year. According to some experienced old people's guess, this year's summer season The news may be even more terrifying than in previous years.

Therefore, General Wang summoned people in advance to build the embankment. This is a top priority at present, and General Wang naturally does not allow any mistakes.

Fu Yinong and Xiao Rongjin both arrived relatively late. By the time they came over, the teams had almost been assigned, including the stone-breaking team, the stone-carrying team, the wall-building team, and the logistics team.
  "Commander Xiao, Military Doctor Fu, you are here."

Seeing the two of them appear together, Wang Yang, who already knew their relationship, smiled and said hello to them. His eyes focused on Xiao Rongjin's legs and he knew that he had just undergone an operation not long ago. I thought there would be some changes, but now it seems that the operation may have failed.

Even with this thought, Wang Yang did not show it. He introduced the people into the main camp tent, did not stay long, and left quickly.

"coming."

General Wang held a chariot map of Qiongzhou Island in his hand. When he heard the movement, he raised his head slightly. After saying hello, he lowered his head again and continued planning the Xia Xun defense line.

Xiao Rongjin slid the wheelchair in front of the chariot picture very naturally, and then lowered his head and looked over carefully.

Fu Yinong glanced at the two of them with disinterest and spoke directly.

"Just take advantage of this opportunity to deal with that group of people. It's best to find their lair where they are lurking in the Chu Kingdom and catch them all. Attack is the best defense. Being suppressed blindly will only encourage the enemy's arrogance. arrogance."

Ever since Fu Yinong woke up in this other world, he has been facing the enemy's desperate pursuit. They have been passively defending and have never taken the initiative to fight back. Although it is not the best time now, there is no need to No matter how hard you swallow, now that you know who the enemy is, there is no need to hide anymore. General Wang nodded after hearing this. He also had this idea, so he arranged for the group of people to do the most difficult and tiring work of cutting mountains and cutting rocks. When the group of people were half exhausted, they could just catch them. Walk.

At this time, the group of craftsmen who were unlucky to be assigned to the work of the stone cutting team breathed a sigh of relief, because this assignment was said to be not much different from the past. When building embankments before the summer flood every year, this was the most painful. The most tiring work is assigned to their group of tough guys, and this year is no exception.

However, thinking that he might never get a chance to get close to Xiao Rongjin again during this period, Chief Xizuo frowned again with dissatisfaction.

"If you fail to complete the tasks assigned by above as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be punishment."

"Boss, we don't have a chance to get close to the man named Xiao. Although his leg is disabled, he is not easy to deal with. If we forcefully take that thing, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it."

"Then what can you do?"

"Didn't you say that the man named Xiao has two sons? Why don't we tie up those two little boys and let them exchange them for jade pendants?"

"Idiot! If you do this, won't that person named Xiao know that we are looking for the jade pendant on his body? The above said that we can't let him find out what we are looking for."

"what is it now?"

"Why don't we send someone to search his room while everyone is busy building embankments?"

"No, the infection has been caught. We can't expose it anymore."

A group of people discussed and discussed, but they couldn't think of any good way to get the jade pendant without anyone noticing. I don't know if it was because they were too impatient and didn't know how to start. When they were chiseling the stone, they accidentally... He carved out a big one, and if he hadn't been able to dodge quickly, he would have almost broken his leg.

"Lao Qiu, that's good. I usually see you working slowly, but I didn't expect you to be so strong."

"Hehe, it's a fluke."

Leader Xizuo wiped his sweat. He didn't know if these people saw the flaw just now. He subconsciously used his inner strength to avoid it, without even thinking of hiding his clumsiness.

Thinking of this, he carefully glanced around and saw that everyone was busy chiseling stones and few people paid attention to him. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and winked at the others. Everyone stopped paying attention. After muttering something, they all spread out and concentrated on chipping away at the stone.

This scene was noticed by someone who was interested, and he turned around and reported the matter.

Before the embankment construction work was completed, General Wang did not intend to use this group of people. Free strong labor would not be used in vain, and it would not be unfair to use it.

The entire fortification needed to be reinforced and raised again in a short period of time, which was naturally extremely difficult for the prisoners. For a whole month, even if they worked early and late, only two-thirds of the task was completed. The news was coming soon, and General Wang increased the task again, directly doubling the task for the stone-cutting team.

It happened that a heavy rain suddenly fell on that day. Under the erosion of the rain, the originally weak rock collapsed and a group of people were buried alive on the spot.

Seeing that the plan was going very smoothly, General Wang's people and Xiao Rongjin's people took advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and arrested all the injured craftsmen in the name of treating their injuries.
