    Chapter 522: Is human nature good?

    Fang Jie raised his head and looked at the sky. Dark clouds blocked the moon. It looked like the rain might fall before dawn. This was a good thing for both the soldiers on the battlefield and the common people.  People just buried the seeds in the ground a while ago. If there is a heavy rain, the crops may sprout soon. The good weather in the northwest is too short-lived, and the cold will hit again in three months.  The soldiers can also rest. No matter how urgent the Mongolian people are, they will not attack in the rain.

    "Where are you going?"

    Fang Jie asked Duo Guduo.

    "Intend?"

    Duo Guduo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Before today, I never thought about leaving. Before climbing up this stone wall, I thought about opening this door and returning to the grassland, even though the Imperial Master repeatedly warned me not to  Go back, but where can I go if I don't go back? You are right, I am not happy living in Wangting. I do things I don't want to do, and my conscience will be cut a hundred times a thousand times every day.  Ten thousand times.¡±

    "But where can we go now?"

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

    Fang Jie said calmly and seriously: "It turns out that you are also a pessimist. You always consider the worst side first I will let you go. This is what I promised you. But how you live wherever you go is not up to me.  For consideration, the deal is over.¡±

    Duo Guduo looked at Fang Jie blankly, then stood up holding on to the wall: "Yeah the deal is over."

    "Chen Xiaoru"

    Fang Jie ordered: "Give them some money and dry food. In addition"

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

    He looked at Duo Guduo and said: "How people live depends not on other people's faces or attitudes, but on themselves. You said you were in pain and sadness. In the past, you couldn't help yourself, but now you can choose for yourself. If  If I were you, I would cherish the chance of survival, 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 without any mercy when you did it. Why should you pity them now?"

    Fang Jie said seriously: "Because I know the situation clearly at all times, and I don't pity them. There is no hatred between you and me that can never be resolved. We are not the kind of people who can only be enemies forever. Killing people and  Letting you go was a decision made at two different times, and there is no contradiction.¡±

    "You Han people are so complicated."

    Duo Guduo sighed with emotion: "I was ready to die just now. If it were you, Kuoketai Menglie, you would kill us after the deal with me, and you would never show mercy."

    Fang Jie smiled: "Everyone is different."

    "Why are you guarding the canyon?"

    Duo Guduo asked: "You don't seem to be a cruel person."

    "It has nothing to do with this."

    Fang Jie waved his hand: "You go, if you choose the direction to return to the Meng Yuan camp after going down, I will personally shoot you to death with my bow."

    "You're right."

    Duo Guduo sighed: "You are indeed a person who can keep a clear understanding of the situation at all times We will not go back. Even if people can't accept our existence, the sky can still exist, the earth can still exist, just find someone  Living in a place without people would at least be peaceful.¡±

    Fang Jie nodded and said no more.

    "Thank you!"

    Duo Guduo imitated the Han people and clasped his fists to say thank you, and then asked the four orc scouts to leave in Mongolian.  The four orc scouts crawled behind him on all fours. Duo Guduo frowned and gave a few orders, and then they stood up and walked. It wasn't that they couldn't do it, but they were just not used to it.

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

    "Who is your national preceptor?"

    Just when Duo Guduo walked to the edge of the city wall, she heard Fang Jie asked.

    Duo Guduo turned around, was silent for a while and said: "Her name is Sang Sa Sa, a person who is very close to the gods. She said that I am the most innocent person she has ever seen, and I have no evil thoughts. In fact, she is also the most innocent person I have ever seen.  Even if she lives among 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."

    ? ?Xie nodded and didn't pay too much attention.

    In fact, the imperial advisors of the Meng Yuan people and the Dao sect leaders of the Sui Dynasty should be regarded as the same people. They are both chess pieces in the hands of the emperor. They do not have the transcendent status of the Buddha sect, and they may be fighting for such a status.  Or maybe he will never be able to escape the shackles of imperial power.

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

    Duo Guduo Jianfangjie seemed to be just a little curious about the Imperial Master, so he emphasized in a more serious tone: "No one can understand her sadness, because she is the one standing in the sky overlooking everyone but being rejected by the gods. Because  She is always kind, but the gods are cold."

    Fang Jie was stunned, smiled and shook his head.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    What Duo Guduo told Fang Jie was not very different from Fang Jie¡¯s own speculation.  However, it solved some mysteries in his mind that he had never understood, such as why Tianzun Shiyuan left Daxue Mountain to go to Yongzhou.  The current King Ming is the weakest King Ming in the history of Buddhism, and only Great Freedom would take his place.

    Fang Jie has heard the legend about the Great Freedom many times, and one thing is always inseparable from it, that is, the Great Freedom is unwilling to leave the Dalun Temple in the Snow Mountain, so much so that when Prince Zhong went westward with his sword, he did not even leave the temple.  , the story Fang Jie heard was somewhat different from what Duo Guduo told. It was said that Da Zi Zai and Prince Zhong fought against each other, and both were defeated.

    However, based on calculations, Fang Jie guessed that Da Zi Zai fought against Prince Zhong at the foot of the mountain in a way that he was inside and outside the temple. His strength must be greatly reduced. Losing does not mean that he is really inferior to others.  But what is the reason that causes the first heavenly deity of the Buddhist sect to never leave Dalun Temple?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.

    Now that King Ming is weak, the behemoth of the Buddha Sect, which has controlled the West for thousands of years, has become weak. And when the great Khan of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, Kuoketai Meng Ge, stood up and pointed his sword at the Snowy Mountains, the absolute rule of the Buddha Sect was actually  Already shaken.  Even if Meng Ge fails in the end and Da Zi Zai succeeds King Ming and becomes the new Supreme, the Buddha Sect's control is far less than before.  Those nobles in the Western Regions, even those who supported the Buddha Sect in this battle, would secretly think in their hearts that it turned out that the Buddha Sect was not an existence that could not be challenged.

    But Fang Jie didn¡¯t have time to focus on this, because there was a worry in his heart that was getting stronger and stronger.

    He called Chen Xiaoru over and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Chen Xiaoru's face immediately turned a little pale. After Fang Jie finished the instructions, he raised his head and looked at the sky again, suddenly feeling that he was passively accepting that damn god.  After all the hardships arranged, when will we be able to break free from this shackles?

    "Go ahead"

    Fang Jie waved his hand: "Be careful. Bypass the Mongolian camp, the Feiyupao you contacted a while ago can be used. In addition, you can also directly use the Feiyupao from the southwest. This matter must be investigated clearly.  , if it goes as I expected, come back as soon as possible"

    "I understand!"

    Chen Xiaoru¡¯s face was very ugly, and he seemed to be in pain in his heart.

    "My subordinates will be back!"

    ?? He said with an increased tone.

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

    Chen Xiaoru nodded heavily, then turned and left.

    The sky is at its darkest at this time, but this is the harbinger of dawn.  Fang Jie sat down on the stone wall, stroking the Chaolu knife beside him and looking up at the sky.  Shen Qingshan, who had been in the dark, slowly walked over and sat down next to him, not caring about the dust on the ground.

    She is the kind of woman who, even if her clothes are stained with dirt, looks spotless in the eyes of others.

    "You liked to look up at the sky when you were a child. I have always wanted to ask you why you look so intently every time, as if you are communicating with the sky."

    Fang Jie took his eyes back from the sky, smiled and shook his head: "It's just a habit when thinking about things."

    Since arriving in this world, because he was confused, he often stared at the sky in confusion as if he wanted to seek answers. Now he has indeed formed a habit.

    "Your brows are not widening when you smile, which shows that you are worried about something."

    "Um"

    Fang Jie did not deny it.

    "What are you worried about?"

    Shen Qingfan asked.

    "I'm thinking that sometimes I still think of human nature as too kind. I thought that the reason why people are called people is because there are always things they can't do. But now I suddenly discovered that the reason why people are called people is  Being a human being means that I can do anything if what I worry about is true.? happened, I don¡¯t know whether I should be grateful that I didn¡¯t invest too much from the beginning, or sad that I invested so much.  "

    Jinyang City

    Outside the city is the camp of hundreds of thousands of imperial troops, which look like countless large graves in the night.  Looking from a distance, the torches held by the patrolling soldiers looked like will-o'-the-wisps floating in the cemetery.  The camp was very quiet, and the soldiers went to bed early to refresh themselves.  Jinyang City is the last stronghold of the rebels. As long as it is captured again, the Li family's rebellion will be over.

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

    It is said that after Li Yuanshan was defeated and died, many of the troops around Li Xiaoche fled.  Li Xiaoche sent people one after another to gather the defeated soldiers, but those who came to make a living had no loyalty at all.  The same goes for Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan. After Yin Poshan was defeated south of Mangdang Mountain, he still had more than 100,000 troops.  But after Li Yuanshan died, most of his men fled overnight, and now there are only 30,000 to 40,000 people left hiding in the mountains and not daring to come out.

    Meng Wansui was first defeated by Fang Jie and lost a large amount of food, grass and baggage.  Originally, he was the one with the best preserved strength among the rebel generals. When Li Yuanshan was defeated, he still had more than 200,000 troops, but the same fate also happened to him. Those people who were kidnapped knew that the imperial court had won a great victory. Who could  Do you still dare to continue to be a thief?

    With more than 200,000 horses and horses, 80% of them were gone in less than half a month, and they were unable to stop them.

    So the emperor is not worried about these things at all now and concentrates on besieging Jinyang City.  Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, at leastfor his benefit.

    Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan are just grasshoppers after autumn and are nothing to worry about.  No matter how strong Jinyang City is, it will be broken sooner or later.  Kuoketai Menglie's army was dragged by Fang Jie in the Langru Mountain Canyon, and he had no time to pay attention to the court troops.

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

    The guards in the south of the Yangtze River 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 seriously injured. He retreated to Huangyang Road to rest and recuperate. He would not forcefully cross Luoshui again for a while. After all, he was afraid of the navy.

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

    The night was already deep, but the emperor seemed not to be sleepy, so he asked Su Buwei to move a deck chair and place it outside the tent. He looked up at the sky with a smile on his lips.

    He didn¡¯t know that thousands of miles away, on the stone wall of Langru Mountain, a young general was also looking up at the sky.
