Two days later, Lu Yun and the other two were docking in Liaodong with the sea boat. Here, the Taiping Road believers would transport the supplies to the river boat, and then flow up the Daling River and send them to Taiping City fifty miles away.
However, Lu Yun and the others did not board the river boat again. First, the river boat was too small to hide, and second, for the Grandmaster, walking was much faster than boarding a boat.
So the four of them quietly left the simple pier, headed west for more than ten miles, then headed north for forty miles, and at noon, they arrived near Daling Mountain in the south of Taiping City.
It is completely different from the scene of being covered with silver and frozen in winter. Standing on the Daling Mountain and looking around Taiping City, you will see lush scenes. In the farmland where the fields intersect, many people are busy, fishermen are fishing on the river, woodcutters are cutting trees in the forest, and ox carts and mule carts are carrying goods across the country road, which is a very busy farming scene.
"This is my home. It's been two years, and I'm finally back..." Su Ying opened her arms, sucked deeply in the wet air of the Daling River Plain, and happily introduced to Lu Yun and Tiannv: "Welcome to Taiping City."
Looking at the busy scene at the foot of the mountain, the celestial girl was also stunned. This scene seemed to be very different from the statement that the Taiping Taoist was the Demon Sect. Taiping Taoists did not want to work and only knew how to kill and rob the devil.
"How about it? It's better to see it than to hear it, right? I didn't lie to my sister, right? There is no difference between the believers in Taiping City and the people of Daxuan?" Su Yingxiu looked at the goddess proudly.
"You can't draw a conclusion so quickly. I will debate with you after I observe for a few days." The belief that the goddess has developed over the years will naturally not be easily shaken.
With the doubts in her heart, she followed the three of them down the mountain.
.
At the foot of the mountain is a large area of ​​farmland. Lu Yun and the other two were originally planning to go directly to the farmhouse and make plans under Taiping City.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked to the edge of the forest, Su Yingxiu, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped.
Lu Yun and the other two followed him to the point of not knowing it. Before they could ask Su Yingxiu what was going on, they heard a rough shout.
"Old guy, don't be lazy!"
Then there were the harsh whips, the screams of the old man, and the cry of the children.
"Don't hit my grandpa..."
"Boy, I'll fight you if I don't work honestly!"
Lu Yun looked in the sound strangely and saw a soldier from Taipingdao on the forest land waving a whip and whipping an old farmer hard. There was also an eight or nine-year-old child pounced on the old farmer, obviously trying to protect the old man. But Taipingdao soldiers were not ruthless at all, and the whip was whipped together with the child.
"Bastard!" The celestial girl frowned and was about to rescue her.
But Lu Yun and Su Yingxiu were held back at the same time.
"What are you stopping me?" The celestial girl Gu Dao was kind-hearted. When she first saw Lu Yun, she drew her sword to help her, so she naturally couldn't bear to see the elderly and children being bullied.
"Look at that side." Lu Yun whispered to remind the goddess.
Following Lu Yun's point, the celestial girl saw that there were Taiping Taoist soldiers holding whips everywhere on the large farmland in the distance, monitoring the people's work. And those working people were all the elderly, weak, women and children, the older ones were only seven or eight years old, and the younger ones were only seven or eight years old, and there were even pregnant women with big belly, who were also forced to squat in the field to pull weeds.
What the goddess even more unacceptable is that the working people were actually tied by soldiers with ropes, and five or six people were connected together, obviously to prevent them from escaping.
The soldiers of Taipingdao were all fierce and evil. When the people were slacking off, they would curse at the least, and at the worst, they would punch and kick, and there would be scolding on the fields and whips.
"Is this what you said about Taiping Taoist people as close as a family?" The celestial girl was furious and looked at Su Yingxiu coldly and said, "Then you are afraid there is any deviation in your understanding of the family!"
Although she was furious, she was stopped by the two of hers and still woke up a little. She knew that the most important thing at the moment was to find out the situation in Taiping City before making plans. If she took action to save people rashly, she would only alert the enemy.
"No, it was definitely not like this before. At least two years ago, it wasn't like this when I left." Su Yingxiu looked at the scene in front of him with a pale face, as if he was hit hard: "In my memory, Taiping Road has no distinction between soldiers and civilians, nor is there any high or low status. With work, everyone rushed to do it. Even my master and two guardians would take the lead in planting rice during busy farming..."
"It's just acting, what kind of humanistic paradise is really a lie." The goddess didn't believe a word. She came from all the way, but when she saw this scene, she was naturally extremely disappointed.
"Okay, let's say a few words." Huangfu Zhao looked at the goddess, but he didn't expect that this gentle and gentle daughter was very angry. "I've come here, let's figure it out first."
"Yes, I believe something must have happened to Yingxiu what she said." Lu Yun naturally stood by Su Yingxiu at this time and gently held her hand.
Su Yingxiu glanced at Lu Yun gratefully, but pulled out his hand, turned around and said calmly to the goddess: "Give me a few days to let me figure out the matter. If you still have the same view then, I will no longer force you to recognize me, my sister."
The celestial girl also felt that she was a little too much and apologized in a low voice: "I'm too extreme."
Su Yingxiu ignored her, her eyes passed through the fields and landed on the river bank not far away.
"I can't wait until it's dark."
There were women washing military uniforms for Taiping Tao soldiers.
.
After a while, the four of them put on their stolen Taiping Road military uniforms and lined up to the dirt road leading to Taiping City.
Along the way, I passed many villages and farmlands, and the same situation was seen. The vicious Taiping Taoist soldiers monitored the work of the elderly, weak, women and children, and did not even go where the educated youth and strong men went?
Soon, the four of them arrived outside the south gate of Taiping City and were stunned by the scene before them again.
I saw countless hideous heads hanging high above the city gate, densely lined up, and could not see the edge at first sight.
Under the city wall were rows of blood-stained wooden cages, filled with ragged believers, all young and middle-aged men who were rushing upwards. I don’t know how long it had been locked inside, but they had been tortured to the point of being tortured.
The four of them were forced to find a way to climb over the wall into the city, but they heard someone shouting loudly.
"Prepare for execution!"
Before he finished speaking, dozens of executioners were escorting more than a dozen shackled believers to the execution platform facing the city gate tower.
Then the executioner pressed the believers to the ground, without any judgment or extra procedures, and directly waved his sword and cut off the heads of more than a dozen believers.
More than a dozen streams of blood gushed out, and Lu Yun felt that blood was red in front of him.
He keenly discovered that there were people dancing on the city gate tower, and seemed to be overwhelmed.
Chapter completed!
