In order to avoid being humiliated, the woman hurriedly explained: "Everyone on Penglai Island, except for the Imperial City and several surrounding villages, the remaining villages that were expelled from the Imperial City formed a tribal alliance."
Ye Guhong finally understood some of the clues and asked: "Isn't the Penglai Kingdom in charge of the entire island? In other words, the entire island belongs to the imperial city? Why are some villages deliberately dispersed? Don't these people
Their nationals?”
Faced with Ye Guhong's barrage of questions, the woman looked at Ye Guhong with a surprised look, frowned and said: "You still know a little about our place, but you don't seem to know the current situation. Since the original emperor disappeared three years ago, Di
Since Ao became the emperor, we have been living like hell. Di Ao wants to become the overlord of the sea, so he wants us civilians to become his army."
Ye Guhong didn't understand: "How can civilians become soldiers?"
The woman's face was ashen and her eyes were a little straight. She seemed to have imagined some sad memories in the past. After staying for a long time, she slowly said: "The young and middle-aged men were all taken into the imperial city and began to train day and night. Many of them were directly killed by this."
They were tortured to death due to inhumane torture. Many people could not bear the torture and tried to escape. After being captured, they would be executed in the same way. Thousands of men in dozens of our villages were all disabled and injured because of this, but they persisted.
Those who became soldiers were also detained in the imperial city."
It can be seen from her sad mood that her relatives must be among these people.
"That's why you escaped from the control of the imperial city." Ye Guhong sighed, feeling a little unbelievable in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the woman shook her head violently and said: "I said, we were demobilized! After the young men were taken away, there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in our village. There was no one who could make up their own minds, so we only
After being able to let the imperial city slaughter and capture the men, they are not done yet, even...even..."
The woman's eyes were already in tears before she said this sentence, and by the end she was almost sobbing and unable to continue.
Although Ye Guhong was impatient, he could no longer bear to use the scary words just now to force her to continue speaking.
But after the woman started to tell her sad story, she couldn't stop crying. After crying for a while, she immediately held it back and continued: "The Imperial City was dissatisfied with the recruitment of too few soldiers, so they arrested all the female relatives in the village.
, asking them... to give birth in large numbers to produce stronger offspring for the country... Therefore, all women who may have children will be abused by soldiers who have never met them every day until they become pregnant..."
There was a loud bang in Ye Guhong's mind, and he was in disbelief as he listened to all this, even though he was recruiting men, he actually committed such atrocities... Di Ao, who rules this island, is Di Xu's brother, must be an out-and-out
perversion
Ye Guhong and Qian Xiaoshan looked dumbfounded. How could they have imagined that Penglai Country was actually ruled by such a cruel regime?
Qian Xiaoshan didn't know when he had already let go of this woman.
And the woman had no intention of running away. After telling everything, she squatted and leaned against a tree, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her head deeply between her knees, and her body could not help but tremble.
From how afraid she was of meeting a man just now, and what she said just now, Ye Guhong and Qian Xiaoshan immediately guessed that she was one of those people who had experienced abuse by useless people.
The woman wiped her tears, forced herself to cheer up, and said: "It's a pity that this idea has not been realized, because that bastard emperor couldn't wait for these babies to grow up, and he didn't have the spare money to support these people, so he took all of us women, children, sick and disabled people.
Drive us away and let us fend for ourselves, leaving only a few people in the imperial city to reduce our daily expenses and save money to expand our armaments!"
Oh my God, what kind of perverted ruler is this?
"In order to survive, the people who were driven out formed a tribal alliance to unite with each other and resist the atrocities of the imperial city." The woman said, a trace of vicious hatred suddenly flashed in her eyes, "But the result is that such a tribal alliance
We are also unable to unite. The Imperial City has recently been recruiting a new batch of royal candidates. As long as they are selected, the entire village will be allowed to live in the Imperial City. Therefore, many people from the villages have betrayed our tribal alliance and gone to the Imperial City.
City! In order to be loyal to the Imperial City, their main task is to completely wipe out the rest of us! So they are traitors and the lackeys of the Imperial City faction!"
Ye Guhong never expected that there were so many complicated links, and suddenly felt a pang of regret. He thought that this woman was spoiled and had been instilled with the concept of chastity since she was a child, so he used the method of intimidation to force her to tell her.
She revealed something she wanted to know, but she didn't know that the reason why she was afraid was because she had already experienced those unbearable past events.
Just when Ye Guhong wanted to apologize, Qian Xiaoshan suddenly turned around, turned his back to the woman and Ye Guhong, looked up at the sky, and took a deep breath.
Ye Guhong saw Qian Xiaoshan's hands clasping tightly, as if he was experiencing endless anger in his heart
Suddenly Qian Xiaoshan said: "Let's go back and meet them."
"go back?"
Qian Xiaoshan nodded firmly and said: "If I said these words to that boy Di Xu, it should cheer him up."
Ye Guhong was stunned, smiled bitterly and nodded.
Di Xu would probably go crazy with his country being ruined like this.
And not only Di Xu, but also Yun Su, who was originally worried about whether the country would be peaceful and happy, would no longer hesitate.
"What is the purpose of our Jueying Sect!" Qian Xiaoshan suddenly said
Ye Guhong answered without thinking: "Protect the common people and stabilize the world."
Qian Xiaoshan said coldly: "Yes, as long as there is injustice, it is necessary for our Jueying Sect to take care of it!"
Ye Guhong nodded in agreement, turned to the woman leaning against the tree and said: "I'm sorry, eldest sister, I didn't mean to offend you just now, I just wanted to trick you with some words, but you treat us as enemies, so you said something that was unreasonable.
The scary words frightened you and made you feel deeply guilty.”
The woman looked at the two people stupidly, unable to understand their actions.
However, Ye Guhong suddenly changed into a friendly expression, which made the woman even more suspicious.
Seeing that the woman was still very wary of him, Ye Guhong no longer dared to talk to her anymore and could only follow Qian Xiaoshan and leave slowly.
After walking a certain distance, Ye Guhong sighed: "It turns out that the Penglai Kingdom has experienced such a big change. It's unbelievable. If we hadn't met this woman by chance, we might have had to make many detours to figure out the current situation."
