Lydia and Hei Ningxue walked up to Cynthia and looked at her with a grin, "General Cynthia, I heard that you and General Qiao Mei had a fight just now?" ”

Cynthia hurriedly got up and saluted the two, "I'm very sorry, I was too impulsive just now. ”

"Be careful next time." Hei Ningxue covered her mouth and smiled, "There is no limit to the ghost ideas that Nick has come up with. ”

Cynthia's cheeks flushed slightly, "I'm sorry, I promise there won't be another time." ”

Hei Ningxue handed over the flannel bag in her hand, which contained a stick needle and a few wool balls, "I heard that you have this hobby, if you don't dislike it, you can communicate more in the future." ”

I thought that Lydia and Hei Ningxue came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but I didn't expect that they just brought her a knitted suit, and Cynthia didn't know what to say for a while.

Lydia turned and walked over to this side, "Who is General Red?" ”

Red was stunned for a moment, and quickly dusted off his clothes and stood up, "The last general, Red, greet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"You're welcome." Lydia pulled a booklet out of her bosom, "I heard that you are a believer in the god Demetrius, are you enlightened by the Vira or the Sardinians?" ”

"Satinan Sect, Your Highness the Princess." Red hurriedly replied, "My father is a preacher of the Sardinan sect. ”

Lydia handed him the booklet, "Looks like I guessed correctly. The Sardinan sect has a weekly chant for the Tak Classics, and this is exactly what comes in handy. ”

Red looked at the scripture in his hand in surprise, and actually knelt down for Lydia with a thud. Seeing him like this, some people were curious, some people didn't understand, and some people questioned that Red was making a sycophant.

As everyone knows, Lydia, as the princess of the divine capital, not only knows all kinds of gods and classics well, but also is used to seeing those believers, and knows that for religious people, not letting them complete religious ceremonies is more uncomfortable than not giving them food.

Lydia helped him up, "We can meet reasonable ordinary demands, this is your basic right. ”

The group of prisoners watched Lydia stand defenselessly talking to Red, and one of them muttered, "Aren't you going to fight the 'Princess of Fire' alone, go?" ”

Bragging is bragging, if you really want people to die, there is not a single fool among those prisoners.

Bard called for two wooden chests to be fought, and asked Nacian and Maya to gather all the prisoners in the courtyard and ask Lydia to speak.

Lydia stood on it and said loudly, "Generals of the old empire, there are various reasons why you are gathered here today, but in the final analysis, it is the difference in political ideas that has caused you to stand on the opposite side of the people. ”

She glanced at the hundreds of prisoners in the audience, "I hope that everyone will recognize the situation, learn and feel the correct ideology here, graduate from here as soon as possible, and return to society and their own homes." ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile and asked someone to take a short knife the size of a finger, "I heard yesterday that someone wanted to commit suicide and hid such a sharp thing in a chrysanthemum......"

"Wow!"

The prisoners screamed one after another, and many of them subconsciously covered their buttocks, as if they felt a tingling pain.

Lydia also shook her head helplessly, "This courage makes me awe-inspired, but I don't quite understand, even if I have the courage to commit suicide and the chrysanthemum hidden knife, why don't I have the courage to face the truth and truth?" ”

She handed the knife back to the sergeant and finally said, "You are not only prisoners here, but also cadets. The discipline here must be observed: half a day of study, half a day of work. Everyone is required to write a personal autobiography and confess their crimes. ”

"Write?" Bald Blue snorted, "I can write no more than 10 words in my life." ”

As soon as he said this, Red hurried to gag him. But the bald head Blue's voice was loud, and this voice had already spread throughout the courtyard, attracting many people to laugh.

"For students who can't read and write, don't worry, we will have a separate illiteracy training class." Lydia said confidently, "Illiteracy has been completely eradicated in the territory of the Red Pavilion. The slowest record for mastering basic reading and writing is five months, and I hope you don't break this record. ”

……

"You're too impulsive, too." After the meeting ended, Red and Bald Blue hurriedly walked to the corner of the courtyard, "Provoke the 'Princess of Fire' in public, do you want to be the enemy of the entire Red Pavilion?" ”

Bald Blue glared at him, "No matter how powerful Lydia is, she's just a knight, it's a big deal that I'll put my life here......"

Red hurriedly covered his mouth, "Shut up, you fool, do you know who she is?" ”

Bald Blue looked at Red in confusion, "Didn't you just say, 'Princess of Fire' Lydia, the eighth seat of the Holy Crusader of the Divine Capital?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Red had a frustrated expression on his face, "Wouldn't you go out and inquire, she is still the beloved wife of the 'Lord of the Red Pavilion'." ”

Cynthia smiled maliciously beside her, "How can this reckless man care about the affairs of those children's affections, I think I'm afraid that in the entire prison, he is the only one who doesn't know about this matter." ”

Bald Blue immediately sweated profusely, "The god of Kerbal is above, oh my God, it's that gloomy ...... The Lord of the Red Pavilion's ...... Madam? ”

"Don't you ever go to a tavern?" Red shook his head helplessly, "Haven't you heard the story of 'The Princess's Three Tears Piercing Hell and Waking the 'Hell Hades'?" ”

Cynthia mended the sword, "Legend has it that the princess revived an oasis and drew revenge from the rabbinical gods. In a fit of rage, the Lord of the Red Pavilion descended into the hell fire, burning the rabbinic god's mount, blinding him in one eye, and driving him back into the Netherworld. ”

Red also patted the classic in his hand, "I heard the people of the Red Pavilion say: The Lord of the Red Pavilion is a wife protector, if you accuse him to your face, he will ignore you at most; If anyone dares to speak ill of the princess, he will let you know what 'eternal hell' is. ”

The bald blue sweated on his forehead, on the door of his head, and even on the top of his head, and his face became uncomfortable.

Seeing his frightened appearance, Cynthia found it even more interesting, and picked up the rod needle that Hei Ningxue gave her and began to knit, "Looking at this appearance, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to talk about the princess again, why don't you change the topic and discuss that demon beauty?" ”

Bald Blue's face finally softened a little, "That demon ......?"

He just wanted to speak, but Red covered his mouth again, "You'd better not talk nonsense." ”

Bald Blue was stunned by his actions.

Cynthia raised her eyebrows, "I heard that she is the concubine of the Lord of the Red Pavilion. The Red Pavilion once fought a big battle with the Ice and Snow Empire, just for her. ”

Polygamy and polyandry are not uncommon in this world, and many lords also have concubines. Bald Blue's head was almost blown open by this bombshell news, and his eyes suddenly straightened, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

"If you scare him again, I can see that there will be a human life." Red kicked the bald blue and pulled him back from his panic, "Remember, you've been out of the limelight today, and you're definitely being targeted by Nick." ”

As she spoke, Maya had already walked over with a few prisoners, "Blue, class, come with me." ”

"Class?" Bald Blue's head began to hurt, "Sir, can I skip class, how about I go to work?" I'm going to carry vegetables and coal......"

Maya coughed, "Don't make a fuss, everyone over the age of ten in the Red Pavilion can read, what is the way for a person like you who can't read to read to go out in the future?" ”

"Get out?" Cynthia was surprised, "We still have a chance to go out?" ”

Maya glanced at her, "It seems that you didn't understand what the princess said just now." ”

With this reminder, Red sat up suddenly, "The princess said that she would write a personal autobiography and confess her crimes, that is, this is the condition for our release?" ”

Maya didn't speak, just smiled.

Red had already comprehended the essence of this smile, and hurriedly kicked Bald Blue's ass, "What are you still doing in a daze, go to class." ”

The bald blue didn't understand what had happened here, he only knew that there was the wife and concubine of the "Lord of the Red Pavilion" in the past, and the daughter of the "Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses" in the back, and no one could afford to provoke him. I could only rub my ass and mumble and follow Maya.

……

In the prison office, Nick and Bud are drawing a large floor plan. When he saw Nacian passing by, he called him too, "Look, how about the prison plan?" ”

"Isn't prison just about locking people up, so why do you need to plan......" Nacian muttered a few words, and realized that the drawing in Nick's hand was a little unusual.

Originally, the prison consisted of only two large houses used as cells, plus a large boiler for boiling water for cooking, and the rest was an empty field. But in the new plan, half of the empty field was set aside as a large canteen, and a rest area for soldiers and a weapons depot were set up on the east side.

What he didn't expect was that an additional piece of land was allocated to the south of the prison. In addition to guarding the soldiers' quarters and office quarters, school buildings, factories, warehouses, farms and confinement rooms were designed.

"So many more houses?" Nacian couldn't hold back, "Could the princess be too merciful to those prisoners?" ”

Nick waved his hand, "You're only scratching the surface. In fact, the princess also proposed that each cell should be equipped with a toilet and a washstand; Add a public bathhouse between the two prison blocks, and build two if possible; There is also a visitation area for family members to come and visit the prisoners. ”

Nacian couldn't help but complain: "How do I think they live in a better place than in the barracks." ”

Nick clapped his hands and laughed, "Since the princess has arranged it, we still have to find a way to do it." It's just that Rowling is in Oasis City, and we lack people here who know some architecture, so I'm really not good at building houses. ”

Nacian frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands, "That chattering Red may come in handy, I remember that the old man was in charge of building the hall twice." ”

The old man he said naturally refers to the former Emperor of the Wild Sand.

It wasn't until he heard Nacian mention the root cause of the chaos that Nick remembered that Nacian had once been a prince. It's just that he himself seems to have forgotten that identity, as if it was just a passing moment.

Bard nodded cautiously, "I'll check General Red's file, and if he can really do it, we can consider letting him take charge of the transformation of the prison district." ”

But he nodded for a while, stayed in place for a while, and suddenly asked, "General Nick, it occurred to me that if we could let the prisoners repair the prison themselves, would we be able to let them do more?" ”

Nick's eyes lit up, "Tell me about it?" ”

Bud thought for a moment, "We might as well set aside some simple jobs: carrying water, cooking, cleaning, carpentry, sewing, and other jobs that don't endanger prison security, and let the inmates participate." This allows our soldiers to focus more on security patrols. ”

"That's a good idea." Nick looked at the veteran with admiration, "The princess said that they should study in the morning and work in the afternoon. I didn't talk about what the labor was. There are no shadows of the farms and factories I designed for the time being, so let's start with these simple labors. ”

"But......" Nacian couldn't help but pour cold water on Bud, "how can you be sure that they are willing to do it?" ”

Nick smiled, "Well...... Naturally, I have my own way. ”

Nacian and Bud looked at each other, and suddenly remembered a common saying among the prisoners: Nick smiled, life and death were unpredictable.
