Hua Sixue and others all set their sights on Wu Feng. This decision can only be made by the ancestor.

After a quick glance, everyone's expressions fell into Wu Feng's eyes.

With a slight smile, Wu Feng made his decision.

"These are the people who donate. The more the better, and we will receive as much as we can."

The ancestor decides what to do, and the people below just need to try their best to do it.

But to put it simply, although these dedicated people are in a bad situation now, they are not easy to win over.

First, the current situation of Jian Zong is not much better. To put it bluntly, it is not much different from the situation of these people who donated their lives. However, at the critical moment, Jian Zong had one more person crawling out of the coffin.

The ancestor who came out.

Secondly, the place where Jian Zong is about to go is a famously dangerous place. For thousands of years, in order to open up the wild mountains, countless soldiers wrapped in horse leather and shed their blood in the southern rain forest, but they have gained nothing.

Not much.

Thirdly, on the route forward of the Sword Sect, the largest gathering place of the people who donated happened to be within the sphere of influence of a nobleman.

The women with the highest status among the women in the past, apart from the queen, are undoubtedly the women in the royal family.

Among them, the princess is a direct blood relative of the royal family, and her father or brother must be the king.

The princess is from a collateral line, and is more distant in blood relationship, usually the daughter of Li Wang's brother.

The daughter of a prince is also generally called a princess. When the prince becomes a queen, his daughter will follow her father and become a princess.

The other lower-ranking royal women are the "county princess" one level lower than the princess.

This is the so-called "distinction between concubines and concubines", which is the rule of etiquette and law. Even the kings of Li will not easily challenge this long-standing order.

But in today's history, there is an exception.

The leader of the Changle group, Yang Guo'er, was the daughter of the minister Yang Yinglian, and was known as the most beautiful woman in the country.

When he was born, the current King Li was a prince and was demoted to the north by the old King Li.

Yang Yinglian was serving as an assistant to the prince at that time, and he volunteered to follow him thousands of miles with his family, protecting King Li all the way. However, his wife had a fetal movement and gave birth prematurely and gave birth on the way.

Because of the embarrassing situation at that time, King Li took off his clothes in a hurry and made swaddling clothes for him, so he named him Guo'er, thus forming a good relationship.

Later, when King Li came to the dynasty, Yang Yinglian also became a minister. Yang Guoer was adopted by King Li as his adopted daughter and given the title of Princess Changle.

Princess Yang Guo'er was so favored by King Li that she was even more favored than the real princesses of Li Kingdom.

She wantonly established government offices, interfered in the government affairs, bribed famous people, and many officials below the prime minister were hired. She had a particularly strong desire for power.

Moreover, he lived a very luxurious life. He carried out large-scale construction projects in the fiefdom and occupied people's fields and houses, but all the kings ignored him.

Yang Guo'er was beautiful and intelligent. King Li loved her very much and allowed her to do whatever he wanted without permission since she was a child. Yang Guo'er developed a proud, willful, and domineering temper since she was a child.

With the support of Prince Li, she, the Princess of Changle, was even more powerful than the other princesses, and she acted more without scruples.

The Jianzong wants to gather the people who want to surrender along the way, and this noble person who cannot be avoided is none other than Yang Bao'er, the princess of Changle County!

Ai Xiaojing was lying on the roadside with the weeds.

He stared at the sky with his eyes wide open, without moving his eyes for a long time.

The roar of wild dogs could be heard in his ears, and Ai Xiaojing felt both fear and desire in his heart.

Maybe, after death, you can be reunited with your family!

But will it hurt if you are bitten to death by a wild dog?

Ai Xiaojing is eleven years old this year. Before he was ten years old, he felt that he was very happy.

Although the family did not have a lot of money, the father farmed the land for the practitioners, the mother weaved cloth for the practitioners at home, and he herded the cattle for the practitioners. Apart from the necessary offerings, the family of three lived a decent life.

After all, practitioners only ask for money once, unlike in the past, when the court officials came to collect money again and again, each time from a different yamen and under a different name.

The family worked hard all year round, not even having enough food to eat, and were driven to do public service by wolf-like petty officials.

Don’t do it?

Do it or die!

But it's just like killing a few wild dogs.

Ever since his parents gritted their teeth, gave up their status as a good family, and devoted themselves to cultivators, life in Ai Xiaojing's family has slowly gotten better day by day.

Ai Xiaojing's thin face also began to become rounder.

My father, who had been silent all year, began to smile, and the wrinkles on my mother's forehead seemed to be fading.

More than once, Ai Xiaojing heard his parents discussing that they wanted to give him a younger sister after the family environment got better.

Although there were no words, Ai Xiaojing was very happy inside.

Sister!

Every time I think about having a little sister following me, I can't get rid of her. She will pout, stretch out her white and tender little hands, and ask for sweets from me.

As the days passed, I watched her grow up, and then personally gave her away to get married, and handed her over to someone she loved and who also loved her.

Ai Xiaojing felt so beautiful! She would run wildly with joy.

When he was tired from running, he would lie on the ground, stretch out his limbs, look at the sky, and outline the future in his mind.

However, all this is destined to be impossible.

forever!

It's never possible anymore.

Practitioners are no longer as aloof as before, they must obey King Li.

Anyone who disobeys will die.

The cultivator whom his parents donated to his family was killed by the court's army, the manor and fields were confiscated, and all the belongings of Ai Xiaojing's family were confiscated.

They were kicked out of their houses and had no money or food.

Those good people looked at their miserable appearance without any sympathy. Instead, they all showed gloating smiles.

"You deserve it! If you don't do it as a human, you have to be a dog."

"It's great to be a good citizen! At least you can still live."

"Go and donate, hum! I've only had enough food for a few days, but now I'm going to lose my life."

These people were dressed in rags, but they were all arrogant and mocking in front of the people who made sacrifices.

There was nothing to eat, and no one was willing to give them alms, so they had to go to the wilds to find food.

Ai Xiaojing's father was killed by a vicious beast while hunting in the wild.

And his mother, in order to allow Ai Xiaojing to survive, chose to starve to death.

Now, it's Ai Xiaojing's turn.

He hates no one.

It's just a pity.

It's a pity that I didn't have time to have a sister.

It's been so long, why haven't the wild dogs come over yet?

Ai Xiaojing, who was ready to die, had a question in his heart.

Then, he heard footsteps.

Someone walked up to him, and a young face appeared above his head.

"Hurry, this child can still be saved!"

Seeing the dying little boy lying on the roadside, he fainted after seeing himself. Wu Feng immediately asked someone to take the child away and place him in a safe place.

Along the way, they have encountered many children whose parents have died.

Parents would rather be hungry

Even if you die, you must leave the hope of living to your children.

After discovering the existence of a large number of dying children, Wu Feng personally took action and led the few remaining young men to search on the ground on foot.

"Ancestor, we are about to enter Changle County."

Hua Siyun's tone was a little heavy.

Wu Feng glanced at her, said nothing, and looked forward.

There are "virtual titles" and "actual titles" in the various kingdoms.

There are fiefs, territories, subjects, taxes, and even an army. This is called "real enfeoffment".

Or the food and rent tax, for example, if a certain county owner feeds a thousand households, the rent and taxes of a thousand households in such and such county are all handed over to you. This is also a "real seal".

Those who neither have a fief nor receive taxes are called "virtual titles", and their title is just a false title, and they only have more salary.

This place is called Changle County, and the princess of Changle County still lives here, so naturally it has been sealed, and it is still the most harmful seal.

Along the way, Wu Feng and the others saw and heard that Changle County was the most ruthless in its treatment of practitioners who disobeyed the court and the people who submitted sacrifices.

Wherever Wu Feng looked, there was the border of Changle County. After stepping over the boundary marker, he entered the sphere of influence of the Changle County Lord.

The group of people was silent. On both sides of the official road along the border to the county town, there was a corpse hanging upside down on every tree.

Princess Changle ordered that all the killed practitioners be hung upside down on trees along both sides of the official road, which was called the "Corpse Road" to deter disobedience.

The dedicated people who were driven out of their homes were not allowed to wander like other counties. Instead, they were all forced into the mines to work hard day and night, and were fed to dogs until they died of exhaustion.

In the words of the princess of Changle, it was "hard work for the people and loss of ambition."

Let these dedicated people not dare to forget them even if they die and be reincarnated. If they are born in the Li country, they can only be good citizens.

Wu Feng looked around and saw that both sides of the official road were densely packed, and the trees were all covered with corpses.

Hanging on the tree next to him, he was obviously only a half-grown child, with eyes full of fear.

"Why is this happening! Why is this happening!"

Elder Lou Zhuang paused and sighed, with a look of dismay on his face, while everyone else was silent and looked solemn.

In a general conflict, death and injury are inevitable, but the impact is so wide that even the dead body will be humiliated, and many innocent people will be harmed.

When people look at this, they can't help but feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is dead.

"Put him down!"

Wu Feng looked at the child.

"When a person dies, he should be buried in peace. No matter what happened, the body should not be humiliated."

In Wu Feng's memory, where he came from, such children should have been studying in the bright classrooms of primary schools, acting coquettishly in front of their parents, grandparents, and playing happily with the children...

Instead of this, the body was hung upside down on a tree.

"Although, this is not the world I came from."

Wu Feng came here not by his own choice.

Even though the possessed ancestor was reborn, he led the remnants of the Sword Sect to the Wilderness Mountains to build a new mountain gate.

They are all just following the trend, not taking the initiative.

In his heart, he still regards himself as a passer-by, an outsider and a bystander.

There is an unreal feeling like playing a game.

But now he suddenly felt that he might be able to take the initiative to do something.

Do something for this world...

At the very least, don't let the situation in front of you happen to you often in the days to come.
