Human joys and sorrows are always different.

As the civil and military officials of Jianlan Kingdom walked down the mountain step by step on the white jade steps, their heads were still dizzy.

During the visit to the National Master Hall, the King Wu Ma Chu Feng became an immortal.

The supreme elders of the Wuma family, Wuma Xinjia, Wuma Xinqu, Wuma Xinsui and Wuma Xinyi, also became immortals.

Even the great elder of the Wu Ma family, Wu Ma Chu Qiao, has become an immortal.

And they, are they here just for the sake of loneliness?

So, the current Jianlan Kingdom is a fairyland?

Ha ha!

Why don't you believe it?

Looking back, the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine white jade steps seem to lead directly to the sky.

Amid the clouds and mist is the National Master’s Hall where the immortals live!

So, is it true that there are immortals guarding their Jianlan Road?

The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Qi Yuncheng and the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Teng Longjiang supported each other as they walked down the last step of the white jade steps. They looked back at the mysterious Imperial Master's Hall, and their hearts could not calm down for a long time.

After a long while, the two who seemed to be in a trance finally came to their senses. Dongshan was still there, but it was no longer the same Dongshan.

Today, Dongshan is a mysterious fairy mountain with a legendary color.

Qi Yuncheng and Teng Longjiang couldn't help but look at each other, confirming their guesses from each other's eyes.

After confirming the look in his eyes, Qi Yuncheng coughed lightly to ease his dry throat and spoke hesitantly:

"You say, is it because the immortals can't stand Yu Wenjie's tyranny and come to save the people?"

The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Qi Yuncheng and the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Teng Longjiang can be said to have a life-long friendship.

Just look at the two of them serving as the left and right assistant ministers in the Ministry of Revenue, which is a thankless job, and you can tell that they are a pair of brothers in distress. The three views of the two are relatively similar, and they have a bottom line in life. This is also the fundamental reason why the two were able to survive this earth-shaking event.

Fuji Ryujiang couldn't help but nodded. He also guessed this in his mind:

"I think so. Immortals would definitely not like to see ordinary people suffer."

The two of them didn't deliberately lower their voices during their conversation, so everything they should and shouldn't have heard was heard. Everyone couldn't help but reflect, is this really the case?

It seems like it is really like that!

At this moment, the hearts of the civil and military officials of Jianlan Kingdom were filled with turmoil!

Everyone was secretly thankful that they did not exploit the common people, or rather, they had not had the chance to exploit the common people.

The matter on the Jianlan Kingdom side has come to an end. As for the specific situation in the future, the Su family will arrange personnel to guard the National Master Hall. At that time, they will naturally conduct open and secret investigations to confirm that what the Jianlan Kingdom did did not violate moral conscience and that it was truly acting for the people.

Of course, what if you pretend to obey but actually go against your will?

Ha ha!

Yu Wenjie's fate is a lesson for us.

After solving the problem in Jianlan Country, Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya left behind eight tools and rushed to Hebei Road without stopping.

Prince An Yuwenqian. The fifth son of the old emperor, his biological mother is Consort Yuan Mengqi, and his family is the famous and powerful General's Mansion. In fact, he is also a rather difficult guy.

Yasukuni?

Ha ha!

All we can say is that An Guo is at peace and King Qian is not humble!

The Gui family of Hebei Dao had suffered from the tyranny of Yuwen Qian, the King of An, for a long time. Otherwise, the Gui family would not have directly presented the family's sacred object, the black tortoise shell.

Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya took the flying boat and slowly sorted out their thoughts. To be honest, returning home did not leave Su Xiaoya with a very good impression.

After all, what Gui Jinde did was so disgusting that it is really unforgivable.

Considering what happened to the siblings Gui Xiaoxi and Gui Xiaofu, Su Xiaoya felt really distressed.

It can be said that even if Gui family had done something a little bit better, the two siblings Gui Xiaofu and Gui Xiaoxi would not have suffered so much.

Su Xiaoya is undoubtedly protective of her own people.

Therefore, I really think that Guijia is not very good! If Hebei Road is handed over to Guijia for management, will Guijia produce another "Gui Jinde"?

These issues have to be considered.

Therefore, after Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya entered Hebei Road this time, they directly turned into a pair of fleeing grandfather and grandson.

Yu Shuheng was wearing a tattered grey robe, his body was covered with dust and dirt, his hair was messy, and his face was still showing some signs of fatigue and vicissitudes. His eyes revealed a kind of helplessness and confusion, as if he had lost hope for the future.

Su Xiaoya was wearing a ragged cotton coat with many patches on it, her hair was messy, and her face was stained with dirt and tears. Her eyes revealed a kind of fear and helplessness, as if she had lost confidence in life.

Their luggage consisted of a worn-out package containing some simple clothes and dry food. Their steps were slow and heavy, as if they had lost the motivation to move forward. Their figures looked particularly desolate and lonely in the cold wind, as if they had been forgotten by the world.

It is said that seeing is believing and hearing is believing.

Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya walked along Hebei Road in this outfit. It wouldn't take them too long to walk along Hebei Road at their pace.

Along the way, I saw that the common people were living a miserable life.

Not only were they starving and poorly clothed, they also had to endure the torment of labor and epidemics.

Three miles outside Youzhou city.

Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya looked at the newly built city wall in silence.

Meng Jiangnu's suffering at the Great Wall is a well-known story. Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya never thought that they would see it with their own eyes one day.

The bones are everywhere.

The laborers worked hard on the city wall, their bodies were thin, their faces were haggard, their hands were rubbed bloody by stones and tools, but they still persisted.

It can be seen that their eyes are filled with despair and exhaustion, and they have no idea when this kind of life will end.

The construction of the city wall required a lot of manpower and material resources, and these civilians were the main force. They were hungry and cold every day, but they had to carry heavy stones and wood to build the city walls and pavilions.

Their work was extremely hard and dangerous, and death was almost their fate.

Some family members went through great trouble to find the place and witnessed the hardships that the laborers endured during the construction of the city wall.

However, the women and children, who were powerless, could do nothing but feel sad.

The laborers were suffering from hunger and cold. Some had died from overwork, but more were still like walking corpses, waiting for the next death to come.

The bodies of the dead civilians were buried forever at the foot of the city wall and became part of the wall.

The construction of the city wall brought great suffering and disaster to the civilians. These could have been avoided!

The laborers built the city wall with their blood, sweat and lives, but their efforts and sacrifices were taken for granted by Prince An Yuwen Qian.

There are many women and children like Meng Jiangnu, but unfortunately not every one of them is Meng Jiangnu!

Not every woman’s crying can bring down the Great Wall!

Nothing changed except for the relentless beatings from the overseer's whip.

At this moment, Su Xiaoya didn't care about being exposed or not. She simply cast a small spell to freeze all the supervisors on the city wall.

"You guys should leave quickly, leave Youzhou temporarily, hide in nearby towns or mountains, and come back when Youzhou is settled."

All the laborers stared blankly at the grandfather and grandson fleeing famine in front of them, with surprise on their wooden faces, but no joy.

There were complex emotions flashing in their eyes, as if they were trying to understand what was happening before their eyes. I don't know if they didn't react or if they felt that this had nothing to do with them.

Their hearts were filled with doubt and anxiety, not knowing what consequences the grandfather and grandson's plan of running away would bring to them.

Freedom, who doesn’t want it!

Who doesn’t want a wife, children and a warm bed?

However, reality is always cruel.

Those overseers are indeed temporarily immobile, but they won't be immobile forever, and they are not dead. When these overseers resume their actions, they will definitely retaliate, and who can bear it?

Ha ha!

Even if they muster up the courage to run away now, what will happen?

I can run away from the monk, but I can't run away from the temple!

The hearts of the civilians were filled with helplessness and contradictions. On the one hand, they also longed for freedom and wanted to escape from this miserable place; but on the other hand, they were afraid of retaliation and the loss of their families and friends.

Their hearts are filled with fear and confusion. They don't know what the future will be like or what to do.

At this moment, they seemed to be in endless darkness, without a glimmer of hope. Their eyes were filled with despair and helplessness, as if they had been completely crushed by the weight of fate.

Even when it is extremely dark, a spark can light up the sky.

In the midst of this silence, some brave civilians began to discuss in low voices. Although their voices were weak, nervous, and uncertain, they were like a drop of water splashing into a frying pan.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death, we have to find a way to escape!"

A young peasant said, his eyes flashing with anger. His childhood sweetheart was still at home taking care of his elderly parents and raising their hungry baby.

"Yes, we must unite and fight against these hateful overseers together!"

Another civilian echoed, with a resolute expression on his face. He lost both his parents when he was young, and grew up relying on his grandfather. It is said that his grandfather is now paralyzed in bed, relying on the villagers to give him a bran cake or a wild vegetable dumpling to survive.

……

There are countless families like this, each with its own difficulties and hardships.

Gradually, more and more civilians joined the discussion, and their voices became louder and more powerful.

Finally, someone shouted at the top of his lungs: "We can't let them oppress us anymore. We must fight for our rights!"

More civilians stood up and responded: "That's right, we must resist, even if it costs us a price!"

……

Amid the noise, the laborers gradually became excited, and their eyes flashed with unyielding spirit.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance!

Although they knew the road ahead was full of thorns, they decided not to back down but to face the challenge bravely.

However, at this moment, an old voice broke the noise: "Quiet! Everyone calm down."

Everyone looked at the old man who was speaking. He was one of the oldest and most experienced laborers here. His face was full of traces of time, revealing a calmness and wisdom.

"You are right. We can't just sit there and wait for death. But we also have to consider the consequences. If we resist blindly, it may bring greater disaster to ourselves and our families." The old man said slowly.

His words made everyone fall into deep thought, and for a moment, the scene became unusually quiet. Everyone was thinking about the old man's words and weighing the pros and cons.

Yes!

Now they have resisted, succeeded, and returned home. But what next?

Prince An Yuwen Qian's army is not a pushover, they are ruthless and dare to kill people!

They were not afraid of death, since they would not survive if they built the city wall anyway. However, they could not bring danger home and let their parents, wives, children, relatives and friends die with them!

The whole scene was silent—deathly silent.

Looking at the motionless laborers, Su Xiaoya felt a tightness in her heart. Her nose felt sour and tears welled up in her eyes.

Su Xiaoya sniffed hard and said nothing more. It was useless to say anything now. The common people had been enslaved for too long and had lost their hope for a better future, and even their trust in others.

If they can't even trust themselves, how can they trust others?

What are you doing here when you return home?

Su Xiaoya knew that she was taking her anger out on others. But she couldn't suppress the fire in her heart. If she didn't burst out, Su Xiaoya herself didn't know what she would do.

Su Xiaoya really wanted to just wave her hand and let everyone fall asleep peacefully. These people were too tired, so let them have a good sleep. When they woke up, the world would have changed, and everything would be different!

Isn't it?

Just as Su Xiaoya was about to do this, a young man stood up and said:

"The old man is right. We can't act impulsively. But we can't just keep enduring this. We need to come up with a comprehensive plan that can protect ourselves and gain our freedom."

This is the pioneer!

Su Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat, and her anger subsided a little.

Yu Shuheng next to him also breathed a sigh of relief. He was so nervous just now, fearing that Su Xiaoya would intervene without caring about the consequences.

It is better not to get involved in this cause and effect.

Although, Yu Shuheng was confident that he could help Su Xiaoya protect the law so that she could overcome the tribulation with ease.

But if you can avoid being affected by cause and effect, why not?

Yu Shuheng spread out his spiritual sense and paid attention to the developments of the entire Youzhou City.

If you don’t explode in silence, you will die in silence!

Su Xiaoya is also looking forward to it.

The other civilians listened to the young man's words and nodded in agreement. They also realized that simple resistance might only lead to more harm.

So, the laborers began to brainstorm and discuss feasible solutions.

In this difficult time, the civilians showed their indomitable will and wisdom.

They understand that only through unity and careful consideration can they find a path to freedom. On this road, they will face countless difficulties and challenges, but they firmly believe that as long as they have faith in their hearts, they will be able to overcome everything.
