"It turns out that when I ran away from home, the elders in the family, for the sake of the family's reputation, told both internally and externally that I was attacked by barbarians when I went to do things for the family, and my life or death was unknown. So the younger members of the family have always regarded me as a hero. Now only My brother Qingfeng knew the truth, and he advised me not to tell the juniors so much and just come back."

Qingyan sighed heavily as he spoke, "I left my family for love back then. Although I was sorry for my wife, I was sorry for my parents and relatives. Now I drag my body back home. I just want to return to my roots and do what I can for my family in my lifetime." Something. But being respected by the younger generation like this, I really feel ashamed, and I feel even more sorry for the family."

"Based on your age, it's time for me to call you uncle. Uncle Qingyan, why do you think too much? You didn't care about their strange looks back then, so why do you care about the admiring looks of others now?" Bai Ruozhu persuaded nicely, "Since you If you want to do something for the family, you have to take good care of yourself, otherwise, if your health is not good, everything will be empty talk."

Jiang Yichun remained silent beside him, just sitting at the table drinking tea, seeming to be thinking about something. Bai Ruozhu winked at him, hinting that he would also give some advice, but he was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice his hint.

Bai Ruozhu was speechless and could only continue to persuade him a few words.

"But the situation in Gaochang is a bit serious now. After all, I have been away from the world for too long. I didn't expect it to be like this when I came back. My family hopes that I can lead them to reverse their disadvantage, but what can I do now?" These words Qingyan didn't tell anyone else. Even if he said it, others wouldn't believe him. They even said he was too modest.

Only Bai Ruozhu and his wife had seen him in his most embarrassing state and pulled him back from hell, knowing that he was indeed telling the truth.

At this time, Jiang Yichun finally spoke. He stood up and walked towards the bed, asking: "But the nobility and the royal family are one, and now there is almost no place for survival for those who are excluded by the temple?"

Qingyan nodded, "I only recently learned that the temple is named after the gods, and its behavior has become more and more excessive in recent years. Many nobles' businesses in Beijing have been taken over by the temple, such as the Qi family's cloth business and medicinal materials business. Also because the Qi family has been selling medicinal materials in the past, and was severely targeted by the temple, and they even threatened Qingfeng, the Qi family also promptly reduced the number of pharmacies and the types of medicinal materials sold in the pharmacies, so that they can survive."

"No wonder I couldn't see any medicine shops in Shengyao City and Gaochang City. I finally found one. There were only a few medicinal materials inside, and almost no one visited it." Bai Ruozhu didn't expect that the Qi family was a medicine dealer.

"The people have been deceived to pray for blessings. Who will go to the doctor and get medicine? Even if someone practices medicine in the city, they will be arrested by the temple for their reputation of deceiving people with evil words, or they will be murdered secretly. In the Western Region, except for the temple, Besides, how many doctors can there be?" Qingyan said angrily and patted the bed beneath him.

Jiang Yichun looked at him and asked: "Since you need to help the family reverse its disadvantage, why don't you seek refuge with the monarch? I think the monarch also intends to confront the temple."

"It's not that the monarch has never fought against the temple. The emergence of Qing Lian back then was supported by the monarch. The temple could not directly destroy the monarch, so it arrested Qing Lian and accused him of blasphemy. He was burned at the stake in public to attack the monarch. That day, the monarch sent almost all his guards to rescue Qing Lian, but he still couldn't defeat the power of the temple."

Qingyan said and sighed again, "The most terrible thing is that the people were brainwashed by the temple. During that war, a large number of people stood on the side of the temple, clamoring to burn Qinglian to death. If there weren't so many people, If you join, maybe Qing Lian can be rescued."

Bai Ruozhu curled her lips when she heard this. They really deserved it. These people in the Western Region couldn't see a doctor when they were sick. They could only let the temple decide their life and death. It was so stupid!

But if you think about it, the common people have also been deceived. After all, ordinary common people can't read much and their knowledge is very limited. They can easily be deceived by the conspiracy designed by the temple, and even become their puppets.

In the final analysis, those in the temple are to be blamed for exploiting gods and beliefs for their own benefit.

"The monarch was ill for more than a month because of the burning, and then the temple took away a lot of his power. Even his beloved concubine died inexplicably, so he has been decadent for a long time. The Qi family now does not dare to surrender easily. The monarch is afraid of becoming the second Qing family." Qingyan said again.

"Speaking of the death of Qinglian's sister Qingxuan, I heard that she was struck by lightning and died on a rainy day." Bai Ruozhu hurriedly told the information she heard, "It was just like the lightning strike we encountered on the road!"

A cold light flashed in Jiang Yichun's eyes. His subordinates were all treated by him like brothers, and they had been trained by him for many years. How could he allow others to destroy them with sorcery?

"We originally didn't want to interfere with the national affairs of the Western Regions, but now that the Holy Temple wants to get rid of us, we can't tolerate us." Jiang Yichun looked at Bai Ruozhu, intending to ask for Bai Ruozhu's opinion. Once he decided to confront the Holy Temple, he would The days will be very dangerous.

Bai Ruozhu smiled at him and said, "Don't worry about me, they have used all their magic, what danger should I be afraid of?"

Jiang Yichun looked at Qingyan again and said: "I will choose to cooperate with the monarch and help him fight against the temple. If you think about it, maybe this is a way out for you and your family, but it is also a dangerous road. As for what you can achieve in the end No one knows the situation, it’s up to you to decide.”

Qingyan didn't speak for a long time. Looking at his expression, he was indeed very hesitant. Bai Ruozhu looked at it and said directly: "You are fighting them now to find a way out. If you lose, your family may be wiped out. But if you don't do anything now, We can only wait for the family to be completely annexed by the temple, and the final result will still be annihilation. It is just a matter of sooner or later, but if we work hard, we may find a way out."

Qingyan's eyes gradually became firm, and he slowly stood up from the bed, holding on to his wound and said: "Yes, instead of lingering like this and gasping for breath, it is better to fight hard. Only by fighting hard can you survive."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, Qingyan was indeed a courageous person, she was right about this.

The two of them reached an agreement with Qingyan and asked Qingyan to discuss it with the family. Now that they have decided, they must go all out. Then Bai Ruozhu and the two left the Qi family.

…

In the saint's training room in the temple, the red lotus saint in red is sitting cross-legged and meditating. There are strange handprints on her slender jade fingers. She doesn't know what she is practicing.

"Holy girl, I have something important to report." The voice of the holy guard came from outside.

A look of impatience flashed across the saint's face, but her voice remained gentle: "Why don't you report it to the great elder?"

"The Great Elder is out for something, but the matter is very urgent and requires the Holy Lady to make a decision." The Holy Guard said.
