Regardless of whether the doctrine of a sect is good or bad, in the great light of the monarchy, when a religion begins to pursue power, then its essential doctrine may have been distorted, and religion has become a woolen cloak used to hide the lust of some people who have been consumed by the lust for power.

Those in power want immortality, but the people of the real immortal religion know that immortality is simply an ethereal thing, and instead pursue the desire for power, which is actually a very conflicting and ironic thing.

"The Immortal Sect has a huge influence in the area of Qianzhou Mansion, and because of the chaos in the Central Plains now, everyone has set their eyes on the Central Plains, which has led to the rapid expansion of the Immortal Sect in just a few years, and now Yanran has become the actual ruler of Qianzhou Mansion, and has a lot of influence in the south of Daguang." Zhao Xiu calmly reported to Yang Yi.

Yang Yining said: "Then why are so many refugees crossing the Daque Mountain and entering our Shuzhong? ”

Zhao Xiu thought for a while and said, "Xia Guan heard that the Immortal Sect charges a high amount of teaching fees in the Qianzhou Mansion, and its amount is even several times higher than the government's taxes. ”

Yang Yi frowned, the Great Light Dynasty is now in chaos, most of the regions have raised their taxes to an extremely high level in order to expand their military forces, and the Immortal Sect will charge such a high so-called teaching fee again, this is to force the people into a desperate situation, no wonder that the group of refugees would rather cross the Death Demon Domain and come all the way to Shuzhong, this is all a matter of no way.

Yang Yi glanced at Zhao Xiu and asked, "What does Lord Zhao think about this matter?" ”

Zhao Xiu paused for a moment and replied, "We will obey His Highness's orders." ”

"Sure enough, it's an old fox." Yang Yi smiled secretly, obviously Zhao Xiu had seen that Yang Yi had his own thoughts.

Yang Yi touched his chin, turned his head to the monkey and said, "Call that Dong Yuan up." ”

Monkey Jian'er answered, turned around and walked out of the conference hall, and soon strode in with Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan, who had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, walked straight into the hall, glanced at the full house with angry eyebrows, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Yi, his eyes were full of vigilance.

Zhao Xiu frowned, and condensed: "The person who came is bold, and he still doesn't salute when he sees His Highness?" ”

Dong Yuan glanced at Zhao Xiu and snorted coldly: "The eldest boy kneels to the sky and kneels to his parents, and wants me to kowtow to you dog officials, unless I break my legs." ”

Zhao Xiu's expression changed when he heard this, and he was about to reprimand the official for execution, but Yang Yi on the side pressed his hand and signaled Zhao Xiu to be calm and not impatient.

Yang Yi looked at Dong Yuan with a smile, and Dong Yuan was not afraid to glare at him at all.

Yang Yi smiled: "Dong Yuan, right? I asked you a few questions, and you answered them truthfully. ”

Dong Yuan smiled coldly and turned his head, obviously not buying Yang Yi's account too much.

Yang Yi was not angry, and sighed with pity: "Alas... I wanted to understand the situation so that I could help those refugees, but if you don't want to, then I can think that I am doing it myself. ”

When the words fell, Dong Yuan turned his head violently, stared at Yang Yi with big eyes, and said, "Is this true?" ”

Yang Yi said with a smile: "Hundreds of thousands of people in my Shu are now rich and don't close their doors at night, and saving thousands of refugees is just a gesture, but you have to let us understand why we want to save those refugees, right?" ”

Dong Yuan was refreshed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "If you have anything to ask, Dong Yuan knows everything!" ”

Yang Yi nodded and asked, "Where are you from?" Why? ”

Dong Yuan replied without hesitation: "We are all the people of Daguang Qianzhou Mansion, because we were cornered by the Immortal Sect and killed their sect envoys, so we had to retreat into Daque Mountain and come to Shuzhong. ”

"How many people are there? How did you cross the uninhabited Daque Mountain? ”

This is what Yang Yi is most concerned about, and he was quite frightened when he knew that these refugees had come out of the Daque Mountain.

The reason why Shuzhong is known as the country of natural danger is only because it is surrounded by mountains, and there are only two roads in and out of the Central Plains.

But now there are thousands of people who have crossed the obstacles of the mountains and entered Shuzhong from the outside, which has to make Yang Yi more vigilant, if it is not a refugee who comes out of the mountains, but a large army, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

But seeing that Dong Yuan's question Yang Yi's question, he suddenly said with a sad face: "When we first entered Daque Mountain, there were a total of 27,000 people, and we marched hard in Daque Mountain for two and a half months to get here, and now there are only 3,000 people left from the 27,000 people, and most of them are suffering from hunger and disease, if we don't get help, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive for long." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was unbearable, and after only two months of the 27,000 people who were alive, there were only 3,000 left, and everyone could imagine the hardships and hardships of it, and the road was almost made of corpses.

Yang Yi also put away his smile and asked intently, "You tell me the details of what happened." ”

Dong Yuan sighed and said lamentingly: "Most of these refugees are the people of Kaihua County, Qianzhou Prefecture, and the gang of dog thieves of the Changsheng Sect have done a lot of evil in Qianzhou Mansion in the past few years to oppress the people, brutalize Zhongliang, and make people angry.

Four months ago, because they could not bear the oppression of the Immortal Sect, the people of Kaihua County rose up to resist, killed their envoys in charge of the local religious movement, and occupied the county seat of Kaihua.

But the good times didn't last long, Wu Huan, the head of the Immortal Sect, was very angry when he heard the news, and mobilized 20,000 sect troops to join the government to crusade against Kaihua County, the rebel army was defeated, and retreated all the way to the west, and the Immortal Sect pursued and killed us, forcing us into a desperate situation, and finally we had to retreat into the Daque Mountains. ”

Dong Yuan didn't seem to want to recall that sad incident, and said with some loss: "After we entered Daque Mountain, we quickly ran out of food, and we could only rely on the bark and wild vegetables in the forest to satisfy our hunger. But the bark and wild herbs could not support our consumption, and the forest was a devil's domain, where the beasts were extremely ferocious, and anything there could be full of poison, and sometimes as we walked, we stepped on the mud under the cover of dead leaves, and several strong men could hardly pull it out, and could only watch the people sink.

Many people didn't make it to the end, and they fell on the way, and when we who survived walked out of the mountains with hope, we were turned away by you, which is so unfair..."

Dong Yuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly knelt down towards Yang Yi with a "bang", and the eight-foot-tall man cried with red eyes: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, please save those suffering people, they can't survive anymore, as long as His Highness can save them, Dong Yuan is willing to atone for the previous offense and sacrifice his head!" ”
