The breeze came slowly, and despite the morning light, I still felt a faint coolness.

Ning Huanhuan watched the green lake quietly, and the water and bamboo waves beside him.

The hurried horse's hooves came from behind themselves, Li Mufeng turned his head to stare at the dozen or so military horsemen who were driving the horses and stopped urgently, and waved his retreat gesture to avoid Ning Huanhuan's field of vision, he smiled kindly at her, "Jinxuan, the essence of heaven and earth begins in the morning, and the scenery here is beautiful, it is better to walk around along the lake to relieve fatigue." ”

The curtain of the military tent was lifted, and the middle-aged man with scars on his eyebrows first glanced at the handsome men and girls walking slowly side by side on the edge of the green lake, and then said coldly to the dozen military horsemen standing on Nale Horse: "Don't bother the young master anymore about messy things. ”

The man with the scar was just about to turn around, and one of the more than a dozen military cavalry walked out and reported: "He commanded the envoy, the rear line came to report, Huai'an City died last night with 3,000 city defense troops, and a small group of light cavalry suddenly appeared in Huai'an." ”

The man with the scar surnamed He suddenly turned back, his eyebrows and eyes suddenly turned cold, and he asked, "Since you found out, why don't you kill it?"

More than a dozen military cavalry suddenly knelt on one knee and said: "That light cavalry is very cunning, and lightly armed from Jane is good at taking advantage of the mountainous terrain to conceal, subordinates have sent two thousand households to lead the army to encircle and suppress, but they were secretly attacked by them to highlight the encirclement, their combat method is very peculiar, with an orderly manner, whether it is a squad or the whole army, can form a super high tacit understanding with each other, by no means an ordinary light cavalry, in my Ming Dynasty suddenly appeared such a combat power of the light cavalry, it is no accident, so the subordinates speculated that they came to the young master, and they came to report. ”

Hearing this, Commander He Du squeezed his brows tightly together, strode towards the dozen or so military armor who were kneeling on one knee, and asked in a cold voice, "Have you found out where it came from?"

"The commander of the capital, and his subordinates have just received a report from the scouts on the rear line, and these two hundred black-shirted light riders are from Yangzhou!"

"Yangzhou?" He Du commanded the envoy to paced slowly, kneading the chin stubble with his fingers, shaking his head frequently after thinking, for a moment, he suddenly stopped his steps, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "Could it be that there was a plan earlier, sneaking into Yangzhou first, and traveling in the whole army? I don't dare..."

"Could it be the forces of the rivers and lakes?"

"The Jianghu Sect focuses on cultivating the personal cultivation of disciples, and there are only a few top sects that can form an entire army, is it the Ghost Sect or the Qingxian Sect?"

Commander He Du pondered for a moment again, and when the word Jinling flashed in his mind, he himself was shocked into a cold sweat, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Order, the Xuancheng army sent out ten thousand households to besiege and kill, remember, be sure to leave one or two alive!"

"Yes!"

More than a dozen army cavalry led the order to whip and gallop, and He Du commanded the envoy to slowly look at the two people who stood near the lake like fairy couples, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Come! The whole army is preparing for war, and those who are close within a radius of ten miles will be killed!"

In the early morning, under the warm sun, 10,000 Xuancheng troops rushed out lightly from below and went straight to Huai'an City.

Gou Sanzuoquan and Li Daoji walked out of the city, did not stay for a moment, and went straight to the north.

When the three of them arrived twenty miles away from Xiaxiang, they were greeted by the corpses of the military cavalry in that place, which were no different from the Huai'an city defense army, and the fatal wounds were all unprotected throats, which were pierced by a single arrow.

"Report~~~" The galloping horses stopped more than thirty steps away, and the black-shirted Xiaohu hugged his fists and reported: "The third master, the barricades are cleared, and the Xiaohu is slightly injured and fourteen, and there are no serious injuries or deaths." ”

Gou San nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How is the front?"

"There have just been three roadblocks on the route ahead, and Xiaohu is already clearing the first roadblock, so he can reach Lanling in time. ”

Gou San nodded again, and the young man of the Howling Tiger turned his horse and whipped him.

Looking at the corpses at the foot of the mountains and rivers, the fishy wind blowing, Li Daoji bowed deeply, there was no Amitabha Buddha in the south.

"Qin Huai, can you really get what you want from such killing?" Li Daoji, who had been silent all the way, finally spoke for the first time and asked Gou San head-on.

"I can't change it. Gou San didn't think much about it, as if the answer was already in his heart.

"Then why kill?" Lee continued.

Gou San sat on the back of the horse, suddenly smiled and bent over, shook his head while laughing, for a long time, he actually laughed out of the water stains in the corners of his eyes, he withdrew his laughter, looked at Li Daoji who was looking directly at him, and said: "Why do you want to kill? It's really a good question, why don't you go and ask the imperial court first, ask the young emperor, and ask Wei Zhongxian, who is above 10,000 people under one person!"

"Hahaha, why do you want to kill, I want to know why you want to kill!"

The anger in his heart was completely lifted, Gou San's fists tightened, and the voice burst out from between his clenched teeth, "Do you know why I went to Lanling?"

It was the first time Li Daoji saw Gou San like this, and it was common to see him smiling and lively, and he was only occasionally sentimental.

"Far away. Li Daoji recited Amitabha.

"Hehe, it's just that you don't know yet, she is my wife, and she was forcibly separated on my wedding night!"

Li Daoji looked at the white-shirted young man who was far away, and as a Buddhist monk, he was speechless for a while.

"Little master, I have always respected the Dharma, but... You don't know the suffering of the third master, don't persuade him to be generous, people, if he becomes what he once hated, then he must have been to hell. Zuo Quan whispered softly, and wanted to raise his hand to pat Li Daoji's shoulder, but he couldn't do anything, so he only stiffened on his shoulder and took it back.

"Is this the human heart he asked me to see?" asked Li Daoji, looking up.

"It seems that the little monk is still not deeply involved in the world, and he doesn't understand the melancholy guests in the world, how to come to Buddhism to turn his life. The little monk Li Daoji sighed lightly.

"The heart is like a double wire net, there are thousands of knots, and the cutting is still messy. Zuo Quan continued: "The third master once said that if there are evil ghosts in the world, Yama is the human heart, why don't you go to the world for a walk, not limited to the Buddha, not limited to the Tao, taste the taste of human feelings, although the torment and boiling are painful, but it can also make this life more flavorful." ”

Li Daoji was stunned for a moment, pondered for a long time, and sighed: "Although the torment and boiling are a little painful, they can also make this life more flavorful... Isn't this word torment the precepts of Buddhism, I didn't expect that Qin Shi Shi would realize it one step ahead of me, and the Tao Ji is not as good as Qin Shi Zhu..."

Zuo Quan smiled and said: "It seems that the little master still can't understand it thoroughly, the third master said that if you use a comparative method to look at the Dharma and Taoism, then you will fall into the first layer." ”

Li Daoji was also hearty, and he recovered after only a moment, and he asked with a chuckle: "When did the third master of your family say it? I can't see it, he actually has such a feeling." ”

"It seems to be in Lujia Town. Looking at the little monk who was very puzzled when he heard the name of the place, he explained with a smile: "The town on the edge of Jinling, Lujia Town. ”

It's just that what the two don't know is that before crossing the Ming Dynasty, Gou San was an orphan.

Seeing that Li Daoji had packed up his thoughts, Zuo Quan put him in the saddle and instructed: "The third master has traveled a long way, and he will drive the horse with all his strength later, little master, you have to sit firmly and pull the reins steadily." ”

Li Daoji nodded, and asked again: "Did the third master of your family say anything to you Xiaohu?"

"That's a lot, I don't know why the third master understands the warmth and coldness of this world so well, at that time in Lujia Town, not only Xiaohu, but also Yinlong, Huofeng, Heixuan, this is a long time, in short, the third master can be summed up in one sentence - terrible and respectable is the human heart. Zuo Quan jumped on his horse, glanced at Li Daoji with a smile, and then galloped with a whip.

Terrible and respectable is the human heart...

Li Daoji repeated these short seven words over and over again.

Although the words are short, they just encapsulate the seven emotions of this mundane.
