Fang Jie looked up at the sky. The dark clouds blocked the moon. It seemed that the rain might come down before dawn. It was a good thing for the soldiers on the battlefield and the people. The people buried their seeds in the ground a while ago. If there was a heavy rain, the crops might soon emerge. The good climate in the northwest was too short, and the cold would come again in three months. The soldiers could also take a break, and even if the Mongols were anxious, they would not attack in the rain.

"Where are you going?"

Fang Jie asked Duoguduo.

"Intend?"

Duoguduo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I had never thought about leaving before today. Before climbing the stone wall, I thought about opening this door and returning to the grassland. Although the national master repeatedly warned me not to go back, where can I go if I don't go back? You are right. I am actually not happy in the royal court. I do what I don't want to do. Every day my conscience will be cut by a knife a hundred times, a thousand times and ten thousand times."

"But where can we go now?"

Duoguduo smiled bitterly: "If we return to the grassland, yes, they will still treat them as animals as tools, but at least they can live. If we leave the team, we live in the Central Plains, will you Han people give them a way out when they see orc scouts?"

Fang Jie Pingjing said seriously: "It turns out that you are also a pessimist, and you always consider the worst side first... I will let you go, this is what I promise you. But wherever you go, how to live is not something I have to consider, the transaction has ended."

Duoguduo stared at Fang Jie in a daze, then stood up with the wall: "Yes... the transaction is over."

"Chen Xiaoru"

Fang Jie ordered: "Get some money, dry food for them, and...

Fang Jie looked at the orc scouts and said, "Get a few pairs of boots."

He looked at Duoguduo and said, "How can people live where they live? In fact, it is not about other people's faces and attitudes, but about themselves. You said you were very painful and sad. In the past, you couldn't help yourself, but now you can choose. If I were you, cherish the opportunity to survive, then put on boots and teach them how to walk straightened their backs."

Duoguduo was puzzled: "You killed so many orcs before, but there was no trace of pity when you started. Why do you want to pity them now?"

Fang Jie said seriously: "Because I always distinguish the situation, and I don't pity them. There is no hatred between you and me that can never be dissolved, not the kind of person who can only be enemies forever. Killing people and letting you go are decisions made at two different moments, and it is not contradictory."

"You Han people are so complicated."

Duoguduo sighed: "I was ready to die just now. If it were you, you would have killed us after the deal with me, and you would never show mercy."

Fang Jie smiled: "Everyone is different."

"Why are you guarding the canyon?"

Duoguduo asked: "You don't look like a cruel person."

“It has nothing to do with it.”

Fang Jie waved his hand: "You go. If the direction you choose after going down is to return to the Mongolian Yuan camp, I will personally hold the bow and shoot you to death."

"You're right."

Duoguduo sighed, "You are indeed a person who can keep a clear distinction at all times... We will not go back. Even if people cannot accept our existence, the heavens can still be able to live, and the earth can still be able to find a place without people to live, at least it will be very calm."

Fang Jie nodded and did not say anything.

"Thank you!"

Duoguduo clasped his fists and thanked him in the way of the Han people, and then used Meng Yuan language to greet the four orc scouts to leave. The four orc scouts crawled behind him with limbs. Duoguduo frowned and gave a few instructions. Then they stood up and walked. It was not that they could not, but they were not used to it.

When they left, they couldn't help but look back at Fang Jie, and there seemed to be a different meaning in their eyes. Perhaps they didn't know how to be a human being, because they were still thoughtful creatures after all.

"Who is your national teacher?"

Just as Duoguduo walked to the city wall, he heard Fang Jie's question.

Duoguduo turned around and was silent for a while and said, "Her name is Sang Sasa, a person who is extremely close to the gods. She said I am the simplest person she has ever seen and has no evil thoughts. In fact, she is also the simplest person I have ever seen, even if she lives in a group of very dirty people. Her soul can always touch the gods, but she cannot leave this world, so she is always so sad."

Fang Jie nodded, not caring too much.

The national masters of the Mongols and the leaders of the Dao Sect of the Great Sui Dynasty should be considered the same people. They are pawns in the hands of the emperor. They do not have the transcendent status of the Buddha Sect. They may be fighting for such a position, or they may never be able to escape the shackles of imperial power.

"If you see her, you know I'm not lying."

Duoguduo seemed to be a little curious about the national teacher, so he emphasized: "No one can understand her sorrow, because she is a person who stands in the sky and looks down at everyone but is rejected by the gods. Because she is always so kind, while the gods are cold."

Fang Jie was stunned and shook his head with a smile.

...

...

What Duoguduo told Fang Jie was not very different from Fang Jie's own speculation. However, it solved several doubts in his mind that he had never figured out, such as why Shi Yuan Tianzun left the Daxue Mountain to Yongzhou. The current Ming King is the weakest Ming King in the history of the Buddhist sect, and only Dali can take his thoughts and replace him.

Fang Jie has heard the legend about Great Zizai many times, and one thing is that Da Zizai is unwilling to leave Da Lun Temple in Daxue Mountain, so that when Prince Zhong was traveling west with a sword, he did not leave the temple. The story Fang Jie heard was somewhat different from what Duoguduo said. It is said that Da Zizai fought with Prince Zhong and was also defeated.

However, according to the calculation, Fang Jie guessed that Da Zizai fought with Prince Zhong at the foot of the mountain in a way that was in the temple and was chanting outside the temple. His strength would inevitably be greatly reduced. Losing does not mean that his skills are really inferior to others. But what is the reason that this Buddha Sect’s first heavenly priest will never leave the Dalun Temple?

Da Zizai was the first person under the Ming Dynasty when he was in Dalun Temple.

Now the Ming King is weak, and the Buddha Sect, a behemoth that has controlled the West for thousands of years, has become weak. When the Mongyuan Khan Kuoke Taimengge stood up and pointed his sword at the Daxue Mountain, the absolute rule of the Buddha Sect had actually been shaken. Even if Mengge failed in the end, Dazi inherited the Ming King and became the new supreme, the control of the Buddha Sect was far inferior to before. Even the nobles in the Western Regions who supported the Buddha Sect in this battle would secretly think in their hearts that the Buddha Sect is not an existence that cannot be challenged.

However, Fang Jie didn't have time to put his mind on it because he had a worry in his heart that became increasingly intense.

He called Chen Xiaoru over and gave a few instructions. Chen Xiaoru's face turned a little pale. After Fang Jie finished giving the order, he raised his head and looked at the sky again. He suddenly felt that he was passively accepting all the hardships arranged by the damn heaven. When can he break free from this constraint?

"Go"

Fang Jie waved his hand: "Be careful, bypass the camp of the Mongolian Yuan people. You can use the flying fish robe you contacted a while ago. In addition, you can also call the flying fish robe from the southwest directly. You must check this matter clearly. If it is really as I expected, come back as soon as possible..."

"I understand!"

Chen Xiaoru's face looked very bad, and he seemed to feel pain in his heart.

"I will be back!"

He said in a heavy tone.

Fang Jie smiled and patted his shoulder: "I never doubted this."

Chen Xiaoru nodded heavily, then turned around and left.

The sky was the darkest time at this time, but this was the sign of dawn. Fang Jie sat down on the stone wall, stroked the sword beside him, looking up at the sky, Chen Qingfan, who had been in the dark, walked slowly over and sat next to him, not caring about the dust on the ground at all.

She is the kind of woman who is spotless even if her clothes are stained with soil.

"When you were a child, you liked to look up at the sky. I actually kept asking you why you look so focused every time, even as if you were communicating with the sky."

Fang Jie took his gaze from the sky, shook his head with a smile: "It's just a habit when thinking about things."

Since he arrived in this world, he often stared at the sky with confusion, as if he wanted to find an answer. Now he has indeed formed a habit.

"You don't stretch your eyebrows when you smile, which means you have any worries."

"Um"

Fang Jie did not deny it.

"What are you worried about?"

Chen Qingfan asked.

"I was thinking that sometimes I still think of human nature too kind. I thought that people are called human because there are always things that cannot be done. But now I suddenly realized that the reason why people call human is because they can do everything. If something I worry about really happens, I don't know if I should be glad that I didn't invest too much from the beginning, or I was sad that I invested so much."

...

Jinyang City

Outside the city is a camp of hundreds of thousands of imperial troops. In the night, it looks like countless large tombs. Looking from a distance, the torches held by the patrol soldiers were like ghost fires floating in the grave. The camp was very quiet, and the soldiers went to bed early to recover their spirits. Jinyang City is the last fortress of the rebels. As long as the rebellion of the Li family was captured, the rebellion of the Li family could be declared over.

As for Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan, the emperor actually didn't take it seriously at all.

It is said that after Li Yuanshan was defeated and died, the army around Li Xiaoche escaped. Li Xiaoche sent people to gather defeated soldiers one after another, but those who came to make a living were not loyal. The same is true for Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan. After Yin Poshan was defeated in the south of Mangdang Mountain, there were more than 100,000 troops. But after Li Yuanshan died, his men fled overnight, and now there are 30,000 to 40,000 people hiding in the mountains and not daring to come out.

Meng Wansui was first solved by Fang and lost a large amount of food and supplies. Originally, he was the most complete of the rebel generals. When Li Yuanshan was defeated, there were more than 200,000 troops, but the same fate also happened to him. Those who were raped knew that the court won a great victory, so who would dare to continue to be a thief?

More than 200,000 people ran away in less than half a month, and they couldn't stop them.

So the emperor is not worried about these things at all now, and he is devoted to besieging Jinyang City. It seems that everything is developing in a good direction, at least... it is beneficial to him.

Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan are just grasshoppers after autumn, so there is no need to worry about it. No matter how strong Jinyang City is, it will be time to break through sooner or later. Kuoke Tai Menglie's army was dragged by Fang Jie in the Langru Mountain Canyon and had no time to pay attention to the imperial troops.

The most important thing is that Luo Yao's plan was also disrupted by his move.

The guards in the south of the Yangtze River have sealed the waterway, and it is not easy for the troops in Yongzhou to cross the river. Luo Yao was defeated in the northwest and was seriously injured. He retreated to Huangyang Road to rest and would not force the Luo River to cross for a while. After all, he was afraid of the navy.

So the emperor was in a good mood, very good, and very good these days.

The night was already deep, but the emperor seemed to be sleepy, so he made Su Buwei move the recliner outside the tent. He looked up at the sky, with a smile on his lips.
