In the midst of the dispute, the human race welcomed the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. People from all over the world walked on the streets.
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a large number of scholars would gather, especially in the prefectural city and even the capital. Many people would go to places where scholars gathered to get some literary talent.
Today, when people arrived at the venue, they found that the place was empty. There was no festive atmosphere at all. Even if there was a literary gathering, the status of the participants was not high. After asking around, they found out what was going on.
The Dragons of the Four Seas had announced the location of the temporary Sea Eye. Starting from the thirteenth of August, scholars from all over the human race began to go to the temporary Sea Eye.
Although there were many Sea Eyes, the Saint Origin World was vast and boundless. Some scholars in remote areas were thousands of miles away from the nearest Sea Eye. Even if they had a dragon horse that could travel three to four thousand miles in a day, they still needed two to three days in advance.
If one were to look down at the Saint Origin World from high up in the sky, they would see large and small temporary Sea Eyes in various water bodies. These Sea Eyes were different from each other, but they had two things in common. They were densely packed with people. Not only were there scholars, there were also many ordinary people with families.
Another thing in common was that these Sea Eyes all led to the Horse Head outside Baling City.
Shazhou was located in the Gu Country in the western part of the Saint Origin World. Shazhou was an oasis.
Yangma County was a large oasis. There were tents everywhere and more than fifty thousand people lived there.
In the center of Yangma County was a lake. In the center of the lake, there was a black whirlpool that was slowly expanding.
A large number of people gathered around the lake. At a glance, there were more than seventy thousand people.
Among these people, there were less than three thousand scholars. Most of them were ordinary people with families.
A small number of them were injured. Not far from these people, there were more than five thousand soldiers who were ready for battle. Farther away, many people of Yangma County were watching the show.
At the edge of the lake, there was a clear distinction between scholars and non-scholars.
A seven-year-old girl was wearing blue clothes with seven patches. She carried a small backpack and held her father's hand with her right hand.
The little girl asked in a childish voice, "Daddy, we are all from the Gu Country. Why are they beating us?"
"We are going to Jingguo to seek refuge with Fang Xusheng. They won't let us go, but we insisted on going. Of course, they will beat us. Humph, we are lucky that we have more people. Plus, there are people from the Notre-Dame. Fang Xusheng sent a letter to Gu. Otherwise, we would be arrested... "The middle-aged man with a dark face held his daughter in one hand and the big bag on the ground..
"Ah? We are going to seek refuge with Fang Xusheng... ...................................
"They wouldn't dare to do that even if they were given ten guts! As long as we do not make the first move and they kill someone, all the scholars from the various countries would be able to drown them. Furthermore, Fang Xu Sheng is on our side! . Look at those injured uncles. At first, the soldiers wanted to arrest them, but they were shouting for Fang Xusheng and resisting. With the help of others, the soldiers didn't dare to use force. "The middle-aged man with a dark face said.
"Yes, yes. With Fang Xusheng, we are not afraid. By the way, Daddy, will we be able to eat meat when we see Fang Xusheng? "The little girl looked up at her father seriously.
The middle-aged man with a dark face sighed softly and said, "Fang Xusheng treats the people the best. He is the fairest to the world. When we first go, we may not be able to eat meat. But in Jingguo, even if there are corrupt officials, Fang Xusheng will uphold justice for us. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to eat meat in the future. "
An old man next to him sighed softly and said, "Yes, it is better to be a worker for Fang Xusheng than to be a citizen in Shazhou. Gu Country's officials are simply lawless. If we can survive, why would we go to a place hundreds of thousands of miles away? "
A young man dressed in fine clothes next to him snorted coldly and said, "I can survive, but I don't want to live with such grievances. I and those bastards in Gu Country have to pay tribute to the barbarians. Every year, we have to cede land and pay reparations. I would rather go to Jingguo and fight with the barbarians than suffer such humiliation here. Jingguo is not much better than Gu Country. The two countries have always been in the same boat. But with Fang Xusheng, there is hope! "
"Yes, if we leave, it is either because we can't survive or because things are not going well for us. As long as we are well-fed and warm, as long as we are at peace, we don't have to bear the stigma of treason. "The old man added.
The people nearby kept talking. Some people even scolded the distant soldiers and Gu Country's officials.
The Gu Country's officials looked at these people helplessly. Not far from these people, more than three thousand scholars had complicated expressions.
These scholars were also from Gu Country. After they heard about the Yueyang Pavilion's literary gathering, they came from thousands of miles away and prepared to use the Sea Eye to go to Baling City.
Compared to other Sea Eyes, there were fewer scholars here. Other than the fact that this place was sparsely populated, it was also because it was too far away from Baling City. The temporary Sea Eye was a one-way teleportation. Once they reached Baling City and returned, it would take several months to reach home.
These Gu Country scholars originally only wanted to participate in the rare event of the human race. However, when they saw the sixty to seventy thousand people who were preparing to escape to Jingguo, they were full of contradictions. On one hand, they did not want to see the people of Gu Country betray their country. On the other hand, they understood that these people could not survive and had to leave. If they continued to stay in Gu Country, they would be waiting for death.
Because there was a Divine Temple here, some scholars posted what they saw and heard on the list, which shocked the entire human race.
After that, scholars from all over the country published articles one after another. Not only in Gu Country, but also in Kong City, there were people from every country who used the Sea Eye to move to Jingguo.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the human race's attention was attracted by the temporary Sea Eyes and the people around them.
In Baling City of Xiang Province, where there was no need for Sea Eyes, there was an undercurrent.
The street outside the Ministry of Rites' office was already blocked by a dense number of carriages. Hundreds of Xiang Province officials gathered in the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites' office.
The minister of the Ministry of Rites, Nie Changju, was a kind old man. However, at this moment, everyone seemed to see lightning flashing and thunder rumbling in his eyes.
Nie Changju swept his gaze across the hundreds of officials in front of him and smiled faintly. "Everyone is going to Yueyang Pavilion today for no other reason than to participate in the literary gathering and see the battle between Zhang Longxiang and Governor Fang. Here, the governor has the highest official position. Everyone, please do not speak nonsense. Remember this. "
The officials present nodded slightly. Nie Changju's meaning was very clear. Fang Yun held the governor's official seal. As long as he wanted to, none of these people's actions in Baling City could be hidden from him. However, before becoming a Saint, even if Fang Yun could multitask, it would be impossible for him to monitor hundreds of people at once. That would be a huge burden to his literary palace.
Nie Changju continued, "We are officials of Xiang Province, officials of Jingguo, but we are also officials of the human race! As the Saint said, if the ruler is not the ruler, then the subject is not the subject. If the superior is wrong, even if we give up our lives to remonstrate, we will still uphold the integrity of scholars! Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, we only need to quietly observe today. If something unexpected happens, then it will be a great opportunity for all of you to leave your names in history! "
