Chapter 396: The Skill of Greed for Heaven

After that, Zhu Houzhao had a little follower wiping his nose behind him.

The little follower has no name, Zhu Houzhao calls her Zhu Xiaorong.

This name disgusted Fang Jifan for a long time!

Xiaorong is a very obedient person, wherever Zhu Houzhao goes, she will follow there.

And the old follower Liu Jin had to hide in the distance, he always secretly took out a small piece of steamed cake from his sleeve, gently put it in his mouth and took a sip, and then looked left and right, and then carefully stuffed it back into his sleeve.

Accidentally looking at the girl who was always behind His Royal Highness the Prince, he couldn't help but have jealousy in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

The students began to heal the sick, began to build simple fortifications, and began to distribute rations, although they were running out......

So, after Wang Shouren discussed with Fang Jifan, he had to boldly go back, take some people, and turn back to clear the road, and protect the upcoming Xishan grain team by the way.

At the breaches of a certain embankment, the water is still frantically overflowing.

After observation, a student who was quite familiar with river workers made suggestions to Fang Jifan, so he decided to make up for it at a broken embankment. According to his speculation, if this gap can be filled, the water in the county is very likely to retreat!

In this matter, Zhu Houzhao ordered the head and personally led the people to start repairing the river embankment.

This is an extremely difficult thing, but Zhu Houzhao is not afraid of hardship, he will first carry Zhu Xiaorong, who came with him, to the branch, and then rub his hands, carry the hoe, and lead the people to start moving countless boulders, and then put the boulders into the woven rattan basket, and throw a basket of boulders into the breach.

Many tired and emaciated victims began to help after a brief hesitation.

With Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, although they didn't eat much, they suddenly saw the hope of rebuilding their homes!

So hundreds of thousands of people in this embankment, carrying soil and stones, the impact of the river is not small, the water is turbulent, once the careless person falls into the water, he will never see the figure again, Zhu Houzhao will always nervously look back at Zhu Xiaorong on the branch, for fear that she sneaks down the tree and accidentally falls into the water.

"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

People are whispering, many don't believe it, and the victims even think that this group of uninvited guests is a group of rebels who have set themselves up as kings!

The year before last, the Lingqiu County government took a few such people, proclaimed himself the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and also named the prince, the prime minister, the queen, the concubine, and a number of great horses and generals.

Such a prince, if it were in normal times, would have been tied up and sent to the official long ago.

But now, everyone tacitly did not do so, and not even the slightest objection was raised by this group of people who were very likely to be chaotic.

They felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not bad, and he was also a good farmer, but he was just ...... What a pity! Some people whispered, "How can you do such a thing in a good manner?" What a spirit this young man is, he has a daughter to marry him, and when the famine has passed, he will be able to rent fifty acres of land by his stature.

Zhu Houzhao sometimes sat on the river embankment and looked into the distance, but what he was thinking about was the group of bandits.

People love to be with this prince, anti-thief is anti-thief, now that the disaster is suffering, everyone is in danger, and they are about to starve to death, who cares if you are a thief or not?

Naturally, Zhu Houzhao also heard all kinds of rumors about the mountain king.

In addition to fighting tigers, dozens of officers and soldiers can not get close, it is said that the bow horse is also very good, it is said that in the past, he was also from a large family, and he learned a good skill, but his family suffered a lawsuit, and finally fell into the grass.

Since then, it is not only Lingqiu County that is vertical and horizontal, but also well-known in the Datong area.

"Heh, I'd love to meet for a while."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were shining with interest, and he had great enthusiasm for this group of thieves, which could be described as sharpening his knife.

"Our Lingqiu County, but relying on Datong Mansion, Engong, think about it, there are border troops everywhere here, but this person can crisscross Datong and Lingqiu, it can be seen how powerful this person is......"

On the third day, the grain team finally arrived, just for the sake of prudence, the first batch of grain was transported, and there were only seven or eight carts!

As soon as the food arrived, the urgent need was temporarily relieved, although in the past few days, there are still people who continue to die, but people are burying the deceased, and it is difficult to hide their grief, but they are beginning to be full of hope.

In the nearby villages, every once in a while, there would be a group of people who would go to the surrounding area to investigate, and the breach was finally reluctantly blocked, so that the water began to gradually reced, the road began to become less difficult, more and more people began to gather here, the county town was full of mud, and countless collapsed houses, and some people began to return to their homes, and began to clean up the remnants that had been completely destroyed.

At this time, the rebels finally found their tracks, and according to the people who ran back, it was several people who were roaming around on horseback and did not approach, but ...... Like a thief.

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately became excited, and he asked people not to be too far away from the camp without being together...... No one is allowed to be outside the earthen wall where he is stationed at night.

The reason why people eventually became the masters of all things in this world is that they always recover quickly no matter what disaster they encountered, and now, although it is still full of disaster victims, people have begun to rebuild their homes.

At first, it may have been very hard, but slowly, as more and more people gathered here, the people, led by the living people, began to clear the mud and search for anything to warm and eat.

It's just that......... When night falls.

Suddenly, the wolfhounds began to bark wildly, and the air began to be uneasy.

Behind the earthen wall, the victims trembled with fear.

Someone said: "Hu Kaishan is here, the Hu Kaishan who fought tigers is here." ”

It seems that people have a great fear of this name.

Fang Jifan has been giving people fire these days, this is what he can do, he can only be a man, lying under the earthen stove every day, holding a bamboo pipe, blowing wildly under the stove, making him feel that his body is already full of smoke.

As soon as he heard that there might be an enemy attack, Fang Jifan, who was sleeping soundly, rolled over and got up, and then shouted: "Gather people and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

The living beings have become fearless, and through these days, they seem to have learned to put life and death aside.

They came with bows and arrows, some with swords for self-defense, others with spears sharpened from bamboo.

Shen Ao was taking the pulse of people, and as soon as he heard the sound of the gong, he didn't say a word, so he picked up his bamboo gun and ran wildly towards the earthen wall.

His heart was going to jump out, he ...... Afraid of death?

Perhaps, but since he stepped here, he has become more and more aware that there are many things in this world that are more terrible than death, here, there are many of his patients, they have experienced great pain, some of them have lost their parents, some have lost their wives and children, they are struggling to live, and finally they have given them hope, so ...... It's up to you to protect them.

Knowledge and action are one.

In my mind, at this moment, I seemed to think of the knowledge taught by Mr. Wang.

The way of the saints, that is, in my heart, benevolence, that is, saving people, let the people live, isn't it the greatest benevolence?

And in order to defend the way of the saint in his heart, at this time, even if he is a scholar, he must take up arms and never let the thief step here.

His heart was beating wildly, and he gathered together with the students, they saw Shigong, His Royal Highness the Prince, Mr. Wang, Mr. Tang, and one person after another, which made Shen Ao take a reassuring pill! He gripped the bamboo gun tightly, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and maybe ...... He will die, but he will also die for the sake of the word in his heart.

The Tao is very simple, it has never been a difficult truth to study, and there is no so-called morning and death in the world; This is because the Tao is the easiest to discover, and those who are looking for the Tao in the sea of books are wrong, and the Tao cannot be more obvious, but they spend their whole lives searching for it.

However, it is easy to discover the Tao, and it is also easy to hide the way of the saints in the heart, but the most difficult thing is to practice them with the way of the saints in the heart.

Because...... To practice this, you may suffer a lot, you may encounter a river that bursts, you may have to work under the scorching sun, and you may even die tonight!

It is foolish to die in order to know what the way of a saint is!

And to die defending the way of the saint is a gentleman!

Zhu Houzhao shouted in the dark night: "Liu Jin, Liu Jin, get here, get here, take Zhu Xiaorong away, hide, and don't allow her to take half a step forward."

Zhu Houzhao was holding a long knife in his hand, his energy was vibrant, his eyes were like electricity, and he was so excited that he was about to cry.

Fang Jifan felt that he was going to be scared to pee.

He tried his best to keep his composure, and tried to poke his head out of the earthen wall, and the five protégés behind him surrounded him, which made him feel a little relieved, and in any case, it was a lucky thing to be able to face it with his protégés when danger came.

Beyond the earthen walls, there were countless torches, which converged into a long dragon.

Behind him, there were young and strong victims who shouted: "What are you afraid of, together with the engongs, fight with the thieves." ”

"Yes, fight!"

One voice after another, responding in the dark.

They may not know what the way of a saint is, but in fact, they also have the way in their hearts...... It is nothing more than a conscience, and for the sake of this conscience, for the sake of gratitude and retribution, they still have the courage to face danger.

Da Da Da ......

There was the sound of horses' hooves outside.

Fang Jifan leaned against the earthen wall and listened attentively.

The torches that looked like dragons were enough to prove the strength of the thieves, but the sound of horses' hooves did not seem to be noisy, as if only one man was riding towards it.

Suddenly, the sound of the horse's hooves stopped, and someone jumped off the horse.

The other party was already behind the earthen wall, everyone held their breath, but in an instant, boom, there seemed to be some strength, and they hit the earthen wall fiercely, this earthen wall is not very acquainted, and the strength of the other party is obviously very large, and the rammed earthen wall is not solid enough, the first tofu slag project built by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, instantly...... Fall apart.

A large black shadow appeared behind the earthen wall.

Just when everyone is disgraced.

The black shadow shouted, "Dare to ask where Fang Jifan is?" ”

"......" Why me?

Fang Jifan didn't quite understand that he was still a child.

Well, Fang Jifan felt that he couldn't admit it: "Here, what kind of thief, ...... someone who comes?"

The huge black shadow knelt down in an instant, but even if it knelt, it was actually taller than many people standing: "Meet Engong!" ”

…………

Tired and paralyzed, the tiger rested, everyone rested early, good night!
