    Everyone looked back and saw a white column of smoke slowly rising into the sky, as if it was still coming this way.

    The wine priest yelled "No", and immediately shouted "Run!"

    Tantai Wutian, Ah Qingqing, Zhou Feiyan and the little monk Rongxin didn't care to ask why, so they ran with the wine priest.

    I don't know how long he ran, until he ran out of the dense forest and ran to a bare ridge in front, the wine priest took a breath and slowed down.

    Tantai Wutian then asked: "Senior, what happened just now?"

    The Jiu Taoist took a breath, and quickened his pace again: "Jin Yiwei is simply insane. They saw the six accomplices we killed before, and they were afraid that they would catch up and beat us, so they set fire to the mountain and planned to burn us to death!"

    "Even if we didn't burn us to death, people who went up the mountain to fight the fire will come up in a while, and we will be discovered by them."

    Zhou Feiyan asked in surprise: "Wouldn't they hurt the innocent by such unscrupulous means?"

    Jiu Daoist said: "If they pay attention to methods and are afraid of hurting innocent people, they are not Jinyiwei. Let's go, it's not safe here."

    The four of them followed the wine priest carefully through the ridge. The little monk Rongxin looked back and found that the flames behind him were getting bigger and bigger. It was hard to see if there were people going up the mountain to fight the fire, but judging by their posture, it might be too late.

    What Jin Yiwei did was vicious, but unfortunately this fire also blocked their way of continuing to pursue.  The wine priest was a little too cautious.

    The five of them walked for a day and a night and finally got out of the mountain and took the main road to Changsha Mansion.

    There are refugees and soldiers everywhere along the way. Although they are a bit special in appearance, they are panicked and no one pays attention to them.

    Along the way, they saw many dead bodies lying on the side of the road, including old people, children, women, and men. Some died of starvation, while some had bloody wounds on their bodies, which seemed to be murdered.  dead.

    The five people were walking in the crowd when they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind, and a rough voice shouted: "Get out of the way!"

    Before the crowd could understand what was going on, a tall horse had already waded over, followed by a series of galloping horses behind.

    Only then did the crowd run to both sides, crying and howling. Those who ran fast took their lives, while those who ran slowly were kicked by the horse and fell to the side of the road, or were kicked to death by the horse on the spot.

    Tantai Wutian, Jiu Taoist and his party were also walking in the crowd, but they reacted quickly and hid on the side of the road before the horse's hooves approached.

    Tantai Wutian, Ah Qingqing, Zhou Feiyan, and the young monk Rongxin glared at this group of cavalry passing by. Their speed was too fast, there were too many people, and they came suddenly. Tantai Wutian and the others hadn't  After realizing it, they had already rushed over like a gust of wind.

    Otherwise, they really want to teach them some lessons.

    The wine priest also squinted his eyes and looked at the back of the cavalry. At this time, a cloud of dust was flying behind them.

    The little monk Rongxin asked angrily: "Senior, who are these people?"

    The wine priest squinted his eyes and said: "These are the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to deal with the rogues."

    "Officers and soldiers?" Tantai Wutian, Zhou Feiyan, little monk Rongxin, and even Ah Qingqing asked in surprise, "Why are officers and soldiers so disregarding the lives of the people?"

    "Hmph, I'm afraid this is He Feihu's soldier," the wine priest said as he walked by the side of the road, "now that the court can't pay the food and pay, and the bandits are powerful, the arrogant soldiers are afraid of the court's punishment, and they have long refused to listen to the court's orders.  These officers and soldiers are almost as small as the rogues."

    Tantai Wutian, Ah Qingqing, Zhou Feiyan, and the little monk Rongxin were originally from the Jianghu. They either practiced in the deep mountains or were in sects, and rarely had contact with outsiders. Seeing this situation now,  After listening to the wine priest's words, although I don't quite understand what's going on because of my limited experience and knowledge, I still feel resentment in my heart.

    "The world is already like this, so no one cares about the emperor and the court?" Zhou Feiyan asked angrily.

    "Alas," the wine priest sighed, "The emperor is in charge, but the current imperial court has accumulated evils for a long time, and now it is too big to get rid of, and the accumulation is hard to return."

    "How do you see it?" Tantai Wutian asked.

    "The world is already so turbulent, can't you explain the problem?" The wine priest seemed to think that the question he asked was a bit silly.

    "I didn't mean that, what I meant was why did it happen?" Tantai Wutian knew that the wine priest had misunderstood his question, so he further explained.

    "Alas," the wine priest sighed again, and said, "This is also related to the system of this dynasty. This dynasty gave preferential treatment to the imperial examinations.The gentry of the country also gave preferential treatment to the vassal kings. The gentry enjoyed privileges, so they took the opportunity to annex the land and lure the people on the land to join themselves as domestic slaves, and these people did not need to pay taxes.  All over the country, lands have been designated as food estates for vassal princes, often tens of millions of hectares. In this way, the source of land and population that the country can use to collect taxes and pay corvees will be insufficient, and those gentry who came from the imperial examination because they own  Privilege, being an official is often regarded as a means of speculation. The so-called "one person can ascend to heaven", although it is risky to be an official in the current imperial court, but as long as one person in a family is an official, the whole family can be sheltered, which can be said to be a huge profit  Compared with buying and selling, the risk is nothing, so most officials are not considering the safety of the people in the world, or even the safety of the emperor, but only consider the interests of their own families.  Moreover, after such a long period of time in this dynasty, these officials have already formed an intricate network of interests and forces. In fact, they are already competing for interests with the emperor, and the emperor of this dynasty has always been very polite to the gentry.  Picking skins, Jinyiwei East Factory and West Factory, do everything possible, and the officials have long been at odds with the emperor. At this time, there are many bandits, and foreign invaders are eyeing them. Now the officials are probably thinking about how to save their lives after the chaos in the world  , who still cared about the emperor who beat himself up at every turn?  It's a pity that the people of the world have suffered.  "

    Tantai Wutian, Ah Qingqing, Zhou Feiyan and the little monk Rongxin couldn't fully understand what the Jiu Taoist said, but when he said the last sentence, everyone took a look at the refugees around them  They take it for granted.

    Tantai Wutian thought for a while and said: "If things go on like this, I think it will only be a matter of time before the emperor is pulled down from the throne. I wonder if the emperor knows about this situation?"

    There was a strange expression on the Taoist priest's face, he seemed helpless and wanted to laugh, "Maybe he knows a little bit. Otherwise, why would he listen to the old man of Shangshan Temple and mobilize people to arrest you?"  ?¡± (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
