As Shenshi approached, the sky in the city gradually became brighter. The afternoon wind stopped, and as far as the eye could see, the city gradually became quiet. Outside Zezhou City, a group of hundreds of refugees desperately attacked the camp of Sun Qi's army.
, most of them were killed. When the sun pushed away the clouds and spit out light from the sky, on the slope outside the city, soldiers were already cleaning up the blood-stained battlefield in the sun. In the distance, they were blocked outside Zezhou City.
Refugees can also see this scene.
A small number of survivors were connected in a long chain and captured into the city. At the city gate, Bao Wendang, who was paying attention to the situation, ran quickly and described this scene to the civilians gathered in many tea shops in the city.
Self-organized militia groups and volunteers are also gathering and patrolling everywhere, trying to play a role in the chaos that may follow. At the same time, on another level, Lu Anmin is running back and forth with some of his subordinates, lobbying
At this time, officials involved in all aspects of Zezhou's operations are trying to save as many people as possible to buffer the inevitable misfortune. This is the only thing they can do. However, as long as Sun Qi's army controls this place, Tianli will still
If there is rice, how can they stop harvesting it?
Just like the activities of animals when natural disasters strike, after sensing the danger, people choose to fight as much as possible in their own ways within the scope of their abilities.
Ning Yi and Fang Chengye walked on the street, looking at everything far and near, the anxiety in the chill, and the anxiety after people pretended to be calm. Will the black flag really come? Will those hungry ghosts cause a riot in the city?
Big chaos? Even if General Sun suppresses it in time, how many people will be affected?
The children were chasing and running through the dirty vegetable market, and the woman who was probably the parent was watching all this from the door not far away.
"...The situation in the south is actually not bad. The environment in Tubo is a bit more difficult. You know where the remnants of Medicine Master Guo went. We had some frictions, but they didn't dare to mess with us. From Tubo to the Miao territory in southern Hunan,
We have a total of three strongholds. In the past two years, internal transformation and rectification have been top priorities. It is very important for everyone to be united... In addition, I have intervened too much in the past. Although it can boost morale, internal development cannot be pinned on one person.
People, I hope they can really agree with some ideas, use their brains a little more, and think a little deeper. What kind of future do they want... Therefore, it is not a bad thing for me not to show up more for the time being..."
"Teacher, in the past few years..."
"I gave lectures when I had nothing to do. Several groups of brothers before and after you were invited to discuss the future of the Chinese Army with me. Slogans alone are not enough, the program must be detailed, and the theory must withstand scrutiny and calculation."
'You should have discussed this matter several times."
"Nation, civil rights, people's livelihood, and people's wisdom. Uncle Zhan Wu and I have talked about it several times, but nation, civil rights, and people's livelihood are simpler, and people's wisdom... it seemed like there was nowhere to start."
Ning Yi turned to look at him, frowned and smiled: "You are indeed a monkey with a smart mind. It is not easy to think of these things... People's wisdom is a fundamental general direction, connected with the study of things and all aspects of thought.
If it is placed in the south, it will be used as the key link to establish things first. If it is placed in the north, it will change the direction of people's wisdom. We can say that those who understand the word "Huaxia" will be wise. After all, this is the beginning."
Fang Chengye thought for a while, he was still a little hesitant, but finally nodded: "However, in the past two years, their investigations have been too intense, and it is difficult to use the methods used by Zhuji in the past."
"After what happened this time, we can start moving. Tian Hu couldn't hold it back, and we have been waiting for a long time, just in time to scare the monkeys..." Ning Yi whispered and smiled: "By the way, you grew up here.
Big one, right?”
"The past two streets were my parents' home when they were still alive. After my parents passed away, I came back and sold the place. I used to come here often before I was ten years old." Fang Chengye said, maintaining a carefree look on his face, talking to the street.
An uncle next to him said hello, and after covering up Ning Yi's identity for a while, the two of them continued walking, "Uncle Li Qi, who runs the inn, used to take good care of me. I came here a few times later and helped him fight off troublemakers.
Bastard. But he is weak and afraid of trouble. Even if there is chaos in the future, he will not be able to develop and be reused."
Ning Yi patted him on the shoulder, and after a while he said: "Have you ever thought about what it would be like if there was chaos here?"
"I have thought about it..." Fang Chengye was silent for a moment and nodded, "But compared to when my parents died, it won't be any worse."
Ning Yi looked at him, Fang Chengye lowered his head slightly, and then showed a determined look: "Actually, teacher, I have thought about it in the past few days, whether to warn the people around me and leave here earlier - just thinking about it casually,
Of course I won't do it this way. Teacher, if they encounter trouble, do they have anything to do with me?
Why don’t hungry ghosts want to live, and I am the black flag, so I have to do my thing. When I was following the teacher in class, Tang Minjie said something that may be right, the butt always decides the position. I think so now, since I choose
If you miss the place to sit, a woman's kindness will only cause more harm."
Ning Yi's eyes calmed down, but he shook his head slightly: "This idea is very dangerous. Tang Minjie's statement is wrong. I have said it before, but unfortunately I didn't say it clearly at the beginning. He went out to do business last year, and his methods were too harsh, so he was punished
.It’s understandable if you don’t treat your enemies as human beings, but it’s not good if you don’t treat the people as human beings and your methods are ruthless.”
"He..." Fang Chengye was stunned for a long time and wanted to ask what happened, but Ning Yi just shook his head and did not elaborate. After a moment, Fang Chengye said: "But there is no unchanging truth about right and wrong.
, what happened in Zezhou, our right and wrong, are ultimately different from theirs."
Ning Yi shook his head: "No, it's exactly the same."
They turned out of the vegetable market here and walked forward. The temple of the Great Guangming Sect was already in front of them. At this time, the monks and disciples of the Great Guangming Sect were guarding outside the street. When Ning Yi and Fang Chengye walked forward, they were surprised.
Someone came over first and welcomed them in through the side door.
Fang Chengye is naturally not surprised that he has arrangements in the Great Guangming Sect. Compared with the massive recruitment at the beginning, and later more or less systematic forces such as the Pseudo-Qi and the Tiger King, the Great Guangming Sect does not reject anyone who comes.
The Green Forest Organization deserved to be infiltrated into a sieve. He had been operating secretly for a long time before he truly understood the significance of the several rectifications and purges in the Chinese military.
Just as we walked along, there were more green forest people around. After passing the back gate of the Great Light Sect, there were even more green forest heroes gathering in the temple square in front. Looking from a distance, it seemed that there were not more than a thousand people. Let them in.
The people took the two people to the monk's room on the second floor. The people gathered in the corridor also gave in to the two people. The two people stopped at a railing. They seemed to be surrounded by green forest heroes with different descriptions, including men and women.
Female, just being in it, I felt that the atmosphere was weird. I'm afraid they were all Black Flag members brought by Ning Yi.
This corridor is located in the corner of the martial arts field. The lower part is already full of people. In the center of the martial arts field in front, two groups of people are obviously confronting each other. It is like a stage here. Someone comes over and talks to Ning Yi in a low voice.
"Shi Jin knew about the plan of collusion between the Great Light Sect and the Tiger King, and led the heroes from Chifeng Mountain over, only to expose the matter in public. It was a lie to save King Shitong, and the Great Light Sect wanted to take this opportunity to win over everyone.
It is true, and it may put everyone in danger... However, there is an internal problem on Shi Yingxiong's side. The person who revealed the information just now recanted his confession and said that he was forced by Shi Jin and others..."
After saying these things and introducing them, the man took a step back, but Fang Chengye was filled with doubts and couldn't help but whisper: "Teacher..."
Ning Yi looked forward and patted his shoulder: "There are truths about right and wrong in this world that are never easy to change. There are two truths. If you understand them, you can basically understand all right and wrong in the world."
Although he had never looked at Fang Chengye, he did not stop speaking. He was calm and gentle: "The first of these two truths is called the unkindness of heaven and earth. It means that what controls everything in our world is immutable.
In this world, as long as it conforms to the law, anything can happen. As long as it conforms to the law, anything can happen. It will not be changed in the slightest because of our expectations. Its calculation is the same as mathematics, strict
, not vague and ambiguous.”
"The second truth that constitutes the measurement of right and wrong is that life has its own tendency. Let's call it animism. The world is very bitter. You can hate this world, but one thing is immutable: as long as you are human
, you will feel warm for those good things, feel happiness and satisfaction, you will feel happy, and when you see positive things, you will have positive emotions. Everything has a tendency, so this is the second point, it cannot be
The truth of change. When you understand these two items, everything is just calculation."
Later, Ning Yi's words slowed down and seemed to emphasize: "A life with tendencies lives in a world without tendencies, understands the basic rules of this world, understands the basic attributes of people, and then makes calculations, and finally achieves a goal that satisfies us as much as possible.
Tendency to positive and warm results is the most noble use of human wisdom. But the reason why we emphasize these two items is because we have to see clearly that the results must be positive, and the calculation process must be cold.
Strictly speaking, anything that deviates from the two is wrong, and anything that conforms to the two is right."
After finishing these words almost in a low voice, Ning Yi raised his hand and pointed to the battlefield ahead: "You see, everything has animism, and everyone is doing what they think is good for them.
They use their wisdom to deduce the development of the world, and then do things they think will get better. However, heaven and earth are unkind. Whether the calculation is correct has nothing to do with whether you are kind, impassioned, or full of great goals. If
If you make a mistake, the consequences will surely come."
"Therefore, the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs, and the saints are unkind and treats the common people as stupid dogs. In order to achieve a positive reality that can actually be achieved, let go of all country wishes and all luck, and the calculations we make are the closest we can get to being correct.
Things. So, you can calculate whether these kind and innocent people in Zezhou today can achieve the ultimate positivity and positivity..."
…
Heaven and earth are not benevolent, but everything has spirit.
…
So everyone is making efforts in the direction they think is right.
In the martial arts field, Shi Jin stood with a stick. He was tall and imposing, standing tall and tall. During the verbal exchange just now, everyone in Chifeng Mountain did not expect that the informer had betrayed him. He actually took off his clothes on the spot in the martial arts field, exposing his body.
Their bodies were covered with scars, which made them extremely passive afterwards.
But Shi Jin closed his eyes slightly and was not moved by it.
After participating in the battle to assassinate Nianhan with Zhou Tong, he luckily survived and embarked on a continuous battle with the Jurchens. Even when the world was encircling and suppressing the black flag a few years ago, Chifeng Mountain was clear
He was one of the rebels who fought the most brutal battles between chariots and horses and the Jurchens, and he thus accumulated a great reputation.
But what drove him to this point was not the false reputation. Since Zhou Tong's last night, he had been fighting in the battle for nearly ten years, and his martial arts and will have been as solid as a rock. Except for Chifeng, which collapsed due to internal strife.
Mountain, those brothers who died innocently will still shake him, and there will be nothing in this world that can break his defenses.
After ten years of fighting in the sand formation, he entered Taoism through martial arts. At this moment, he was already a true and veritable grand master in martial arts.
If Grandmaster Zhou were here, what would he do?
Lin Zongwu has already walked off the martial arts field.
"...Although there are many misunderstandings, I have admired and respected Shi Yingxiong for a long time... Today's situation is complicated, and Shi Yingxiong seems not to believe me, but there are so many people, and I can't let them disperse just like that...
...Then you and I will have the final say based on the rules of the green forest and our skill."
Lin Zongwu raised his hand, feeling the momentum and pressure of the wind and thunder.
"One! versus one!"
The Nine-Patterned Dragon, who was a young and heroic man at that time, is now the Dragon King who stands tall and proud. He opened his eyes. At that moment, there seemed to be a flash of lightning.
…
"good."
…
