Chapter 522: Human Nature Is Good?

Fang Xie raised his head and looked at the sky, the dark clouds blocked the moon, it seemed that the rain might come down before dawn, whether it was a good thing for the soldiers on the battlefield or the people. A while ago, the people planted their seeds in the ground, and if there was a heavy rain, maybe the crops would soon pop up, and the good climate in the northwest was too short, and the cold would hit again after three months. And the soldiers can also rest, even if the Mengyuan people are urgent, they will not attack in the rain.

"Where are you going?"

Fang Xie asked Duo Guduo.

"Intended?"

Duo Guduo was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "I didn't think about leaving before today, before I climbed this stone wall, I thought about opening this door and going back to the grassland, although the national teacher repeatedly warned me not to go back, but where can I go if I don't go back?" You're right, I'm not happy in my life in the royal court, I'm doing what I don't want to do, and every day my conscience is cut by a knife a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times. ”

"But where can we go now?"

Duo Guduo smiled bitterly: "If we go back to the grassland, yes, a few of them will still be used as cattle as tools, but at least they can live." If we leave the team and we live in the Central Plains, will you Han people give them a way to live when they see the orc scouts? ”

Fang Xie said calmly and seriously: "It turns out that you are also a pessimist, and you always consider the worst side first...... I'll let you go, that's what I promised you. But where you're going and how you're going to live is not something I'm going to think about, the deal is over. ”

Duo Gu Duo looked at Fang Xie in a daze, and then stood up against the wall: "Yes...... The deal is over. ”

"Chen Xiaoru"

Fang Xie instructed: "Take some money and dry food for them, and ...... another"

Fang Xie looked at the orc scouts and said, "Take a few pairs of boots." ”

He looked at Duo Guduo and said: "Where people live is not based on other people's faces and attitudes, but on themselves. You said that you were miserable and sad, but in the past you couldn't help yourself, but now you can choose for yourself. If I were you, I would cherish the chance to survive, then put boots on them and teach them how to walk with their backs straight. ”

Duo Guduo was puzzled: "You killed so many orcs before, and you didn't have a trace of mercy when you started, why should you pity them now?" ”

Fang Xie 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, and we are not the kind of people who can only be enemies forever. Killing people and letting you go are decisions made at two different moments, not contradictory. ”

"You Han people are so complicated."

Duo Guduo sighed with emotion: "I was ready to die just now, if it were you who were replaced by Koktai Menglie, you would kill us after trading with me, and you would never show mercy." ”

Fang Xie smiled: "Everyone is different. ”

"Why are you guarding the canyon?"

Duo Guduo asked, "You don't look like a ruthless person. ”

"It has nothing to do with it."

Fang Xie waved his hand: "Let's go, if the direction you choose after going down is to return to the Mengyuan camp, I will personally shoot you with a bow." ”

"You're right."

Duo Guduo sighed, "You are indeed a person who can keep a clear picture of the situation at all times...... We won't go back, even if people can't accept our existence, the sky can still be, the earth can still be, just find a place where no one lives, at least it will be very peaceful. ”

Fang Xie nodded and did not speak again.

"Thank you!"

Duo Guduo hugged his fists and thanked him like the Han people, and then beckoned the four orc scouts to leave in Mengyuan language. The four orc scouts crawled behind him on all fours, Duo Guduo frowned and commanded a few times, and then they immediately stood up and walked, not that they couldn't, but they didn't get used to it.

When they left, they couldn't help but look back at Fang Jie, and there seemed to be something different in their eyes. Maybe it's not that they don't know how to be a human being, because they are still thinking beings after all.

"Who is your national teacher?"

Just as Duo Guduo walked to the edge of the city wall, he heard Fang Xie ask.

Duo Guduo turned around, was silent for a while, and said, "Her name is Sang Sasa, a person who is extremely close to the gods. She said that I was the simplest person she had ever met, and that I had no evil thoughts. In fact, she is also the most innocent person I have ever met, even living in a group of very filthy people. Her soul always touches the gods, but she can't leave this world, so she's always so sad. ”

Fang Xie nodded, not paying much attention.

The national teacher of the Mengyuan people should actually be regarded as the same person as the Taoist leader of the Great Sui, the same are the pawns in the hands of the emperor, they do not have the transcendent status of Buddhism, they may be fighting for such a status, or they may never be able to get rid of the shackles of imperial power.

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

Duo Gu Duo saw that Fang Xie seemed to be just a little curious about the national teacher, so he emphasized in an accentuated tone: "No one can understand her sadness, because she is the one who stands in the sky and looks down on everyone but is rejected by the gods. Because she is always so merciful, and the gods are cold. ”

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

……

……

What Duo Guduo told Fang Xie was not much different from Fang Jie's own speculation. However, it solved several mysteries in his heart that he had never figured out, such as why Shi Yuan Tianzun left Daxue Mountain to go to Yongzhou. The current Ming King is the weakest Ming King in the history of Buddhism, and he will be replaced by great freedom.

Fang Xie has heard many legends about Da Zizai, which is always inseparable from one point, that is, Da Zi is unwilling to leave the Da Xue Mountain Dalun Temple, so that he did not go out of the temple when Prince Zhong fought his sword to the west, Fang Xie heard the story and Duo Gu Duo said a little different, it is said that Da Zizai and Prince Zhong fought each other, and they were also defeated.

However, according to calculations, Fang Xie guessed that it should be Da Zizi fighting with Prince Zhong at the foot of the mountain in a way that he was in the temple and reading outside the temple, and his strength would inevitably be greatly reduced, and losing did not mean that he was really inferior to others. But what is the reason that this Buddha never walks out of the Great Wheel Temple on the first day?

Da Zi is in the Great Wheel Temple, and he is the first person under the Ming King.

Now that the Ming King is weak, the behemoth that has controlled the West for thousands of years has become weak, and when the Great Khan of Mengyuan stood up and pointed his knife at the Great Snow Mountain, the absolute rule of the Buddha Sect had actually been shaken. Even if Meng Ge failed in the end, Da Zizi inherited King Ming and became the new supreme, and the control of Buddhism was far less than before. Those nobles in the Western Regions, even the nobles who supported the Buddha Sect in this battle, would secretly think in their hearts that the Buddha Sect was not an existence that could not be challenged.

However, Fang Xie didn't have time to focus on this, because he had a worry in his heart that was getting stronger and stronger.

He called Chen Xiaoru over and gave a few low commands, Chen Xiaoru's face immediately turned a little pale, and after Fang Xie finished speaking, he raised his head again and looked at the sky, and suddenly felt that he was passively accepting all the tribulations arranged by that damn heaven, when would he be able to break free from this bondage?

"Let's go"

Fang Xie waved his hand: "Be careful, bypass the camp of the Mengyuan people, you can use the flying fish robe you contacted a while ago, and you can also call the flying fish robe from the southwest directly." This matter must be investigated, and if it is really as I expected, I will rush back as soon as possible......"

"My subordinates understand!"

Chen Xiaoru's face was very ugly, and he seemed to have pain in his heart.

"The subordinates will come back!"

He said in an accentuated tone.

Fang Xie smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I never doubted this. ”

Chen Xiaoru nodded heavily, then turned to leave.

It's darkest at this time, but it's a harbinger of dawn. Fang Xie sat down on the stone wall, stroking the Chaolu knife beside him and looking up at the sky. Shen Tianfan, who had been in the dark, walked over slowly, and sat down next to him, not caring about the dust on the ground at all.

She is the kind of woman who is not clean in the eyes of others, even if her clothes are stained with soil.

"You loved to look up at the sky when you were a kid, and I always wanted to ask you why you were so focused every time, even as if you were communicating something with the sky."

Fang Xie withdrew his gaze from the sky and shook his head with a smile: "It's just a habit when thinking about things." ”

Since he arrived in this world, because he was at a loss, he often stared at the sky suspiciously, as if he wanted to seek answers, and now it has indeed formed a habit.

"Your brow doesn't stretch when you smile, which means that you have some worries in your heart."

"Hmm"

Fang Xie did not deny it.

"Worried about what?"

Shen asked the fan.

"I think sometimes I think of humanity too kindly. I think people are called human because there are always things that can't be done. But now I suddenly realized that the reason why people are called human beings is because they can do everything. If my worries do happen, I don't know whether to be glad I didn't invest much in the first place, or sad that I put in so much. ”

……

……

Jinyang City

Outside the city was the camp of hundreds of thousands of imperial troops, which looked like countless large tombs in the night. From a distance, the torches held by the patrol soldiers looked like ghost fires floating in the graveyard. It was quiet in the camp, and the soldiers went to bed early to refresh themselves. Jinyang City is the last fortress of the rebels, as long as it is broken again, the Li family's rebellion can be declared over.

As for Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan and the like, the emperor actually didn't pay attention to it at all.

It is said that after Li Yuanshan's soldiers were defeated and died, many people fled from the army around Li Xiaoche. Li Xiaoche sent people one after another to collect the defeated soldiers, but those who came to eat mixed rice had no loyalty at all. Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan are the same, after Yin Poshan was defeated in the south of Mangdang Mountain, there were still more than 100,000 horses. But after Li Yuanshan died, more than half of his men and horses fled overnight, and now there are 30,000 or 40,000 people hiding in the mountains and not daring to come out.

Meng Wansui was first relieved by Fang and lost a large amount of grain and grass. Originally, he was the most intact among the rebel generals, and there were more than 200,000 horses when Li Yuanshan was defeated, but the same fate also happened to him, those people who were forcibly captured knew that the imperial court had a great victory, who would dare to continue to be thieves?

More than 200,000 horses ran eighty percent in less than half a month, and they couldn't stop it.

Therefore, the emperor is not worried about these things at all now, and concentrates on besieging Jinyang City. Everything seems to be going in a good direction, at least...... Good for him.

Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan are just grasshoppers after autumn, so there is nothing to worry about. No matter how strong Jinyang City is, sooner or later it will be breached. The army of Kuketai Menglie was dragged by Fang Xie in the Wolf Milk Mountain Canyon, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the people of the imperial court.

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

The guards of Jiangnan have blocked the waterway, and it is not easy for the army on the Yongzhou side to cross the river. Luo Yao was defeated in the northwest and was greatly injured, and retreated to Huangyang Road to recuperate, and he would not force Luoshui to cross Luoshui for a while, after all, the sailor was what he feared.

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

The night was already very deep, but the emperor didn't seem to be sleepy, so Su Buxing moved the recliner outside the big tent, he looked up at the sky, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He didn't know that thousands of miles away on the stone wall of Wolf Milk Mountain, there was a young general who was also looking up at the sky.
