Perhaps because he knew it would never be possible, the emperor did not mobilize a large force of troops to besiege Luo Yao tonight. At a state like Luo Yao's, human lives are no longer something that can be piled up to death. Even if he can't stop thousands of troops by himself, if he wants to leave, how can thousands of troops stop him?
There was too much movement near the emperor's military tent. Although they did not receive military orders, the generals and soldiers rushed over like a tide. The archers blocked the surrounding areas, but no one understood what happened just now. When they arrived, they saw only a few people facing each other calmly and heads on the ground.
General Jin Shixiong naturally recognized Luo Yao. The moment he saw this man, his expression immediately became extremely ugly. He was about to order the archers to release arrows, but was stopped by Su Buwei.
Su Buwei knows better than anyone else that Luo Yao's indestructible body cannot be hurt by ordinary swords. If Luo Yao is angered at this time, the emperor's life will be in danger. Su Buwei now has no doubt that Luo Yao can retreat safely from the army even after killing the emperor.
Jin Shixiong opened his mouth, but ultimately did not give the order.
The soldiers looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
The emperor watched Luo Yao turn around and was about to leave. He struggled to stand up from his chair and almost roared and shouted at him: "Don't you think you are selfish? You are boring yourself, but you have caused the whole world to fall into turmoil with you! In your presence What does human life mean to you?¡±
Luo Yao's footsteps paused, and he turned back to look at the emperor: "I ask your majesty, is heaven merciful?"
The emperor's expression was stifled.
Luo Yao said calmly: "Heaven is ruthless. He sees people, animals, flowers, grass and trees as all the same existence. That's why we say that all living beings are equal. But this kind of equality, in fact, it is said that even the heavens don't see it and don't care. . God has no mercy on anyone or any living thing, so your Majesty thinks that God will prevent all disasters because of all living beings? If so, how can disasters such as drought, flood, wind and snow occur? "
If it were another person comparing himself to others, the emperor would definitely sneer at him and not even bother to get angry. But the man in front of him now seems to really have such ability. When a person's cultivation is so strong that he has no scruples, what is he but a god in front of all living beings?
He can easily influence the life and death of others, but others will never affect him.
"When I look at the world, the flowers, plants, trees, animals and birds are all the same."
Luo Yaodao: "Besides, if I wasn't selfish, how could I be where I am today?"
The emperor was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"If Your Majesty was not selfish, how could he have done so many things?"
Luo Yao smiled and said: "I'm just bored, but you have ambitions. Isn't this turmoil in the world caused by people like you?"
The emperor sat down slumped, his face ashen.
"Your Majesty just feels that his dignity has been destroyed, and that all his efforts are nothing but a joke. That's why he roared just now, and that's why he feels that everything is meaningless. Although Your Majesty doesn't understand cultivation, he is mentally The realm is much higher than that of ordinary people. I thought you would see more clearly, but it turns out you still can't see through anything."
"You go"
The emperor waved his hand feebly: "If there is a chance, I will still kill you."
Luo Yao didn't laugh because he knew it was not a joke, although in his opinion, it was indeed a joke.
He lost interest in talking anymore and turned around to walk outside the camp. Jin Shixiong didn't know what happened before, but when he saw Luo Yao being so rude, he couldn't help but said angrily: "You are rude to me, you are daring, you are rude, you are planning to rebel! Luo Yao, now that you are here, do you still want to leave!"
Luo Yao didn't even turn his head and pointed at the sky.
The next second, a huge coercion sank from the sky. Each of the hundreds of soldiers present became frightened. Their hands began to tremble, and the sweat on their backs could not be suppressed. There was a clang, and no one knew who could hold the weapon first and dropped it to the ground, followed closely by the sound of weapons falling to the ground. After a while, some people fell to the ground involuntarily because they had difficulty breathing, their faces as pale as paper.
"What is God and what is Heaven?"
Luo Yao muttered to himself as he walked: "Actually, as long as you stand higher than everyone else, you are a god. As for the sky Someone said it right, an inch on the ground is the sky, so there is no need to look too high or too scary. Each of you is actually in heaven, you just don¡¯t know it. When I first heard this sentence, I knew what he wanted to say. Unfortunately, even if you heard it, you still didn¡¯t understand what was hidden in this sentence. meaning?. "
He walked as he spoke, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
He disappeared, and the pressure on the soldiers suddenly relaxed. Many of them could not help but let out a long sigh of relief, recalling the strange feeling that they had almost knelt down just now.
"One inch of the ground is the sky"
Zhang Zhenren murmured once, and then shook his head: "It's really not high. It's only an inch above the ground, just above the feet But it's just this high, who can step on it?"
Who can step on this inch of sky?
Hearing Master Zhang¡¯s words to himself, the emperor suddenly felt that he was really short, very short.

Nine consecutive days
The Meng Yuan people's offensive was still fierce. Not only did they launch strong attacks during the day, they also sent people to harass them almost every night. From the first day of the war, there was no moment of peace in the Langru Mountain Canyon. The only good news is that although at least hundreds of thousands of herdsmen have gathered on the western prairie and camped a dozen miles outside the canyon under the leadership of the monks, they have never attacked the canyon.
Fang Jie knew that those people would never attack.
They are just waiting. When the Han people can no longer hold on, they will continue to block the canyon. Now they and the Wolf Cavalry are no longer the same group. The monks in the Snowy Mountains must have learned of the orders of Meng Ge, the great Khan of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. They were worried that Meng Ge's strength would greatly increase after Meng Lie's 200,000 wolf riders came back, so they immediately sent people to summon herdsmen to block the canyon.
The monks were happy to see the Han people doing this, they must be very happy.
So Fang Jie is also relieved, because the people from Dalun Temple will never cause trouble to him at this time.
For nine days, thousands of Mongolian corpses were dropped outside the stone walls of the canyon every day. The number of casualties in such a small area was actually quite tragic. The exact same story happened every day. A group of wolf cavalry wearing leather armor and wielding scimitars rushed up. A group of determined Han people stood on the wall to stop them. People on both sides continued to die.
It goes round and round, as if every day is the same.
Nothing has changed.
By now, in fact, the soldiers of the Black Flag Army no longer have any nervousness or fear. They have become accustomed to fighting, and they can even make some harmless jokes with each other in their spare time.
But Fang Jie¡¯s heart became heavier and heavier.
Chen Xiaoru hasn¡¯t come back yet, but Fang Jie has already confirmed his guess.
If the emperor wanted to leave Meng Lie's 200,000 wolf cavalry in the northwest and turn them into corpses, he would have already sent people to block the Meng Yuan wolf cavalry from behind. The Meng Yuan people did not have much food and grass, so they only had to block the roads in front and behind. It won't take half a month for the Wolf Rider to collapse. But it's already the ninth day, and we still haven't seen the arrival of reinforcements.
Fang Jie knew that the emperor actually gave up on him and the 50,000 Black Flag Army soldiers from the beginning.
The emperor did not trust him from the beginning to the end and promoted him to a higher rank. It was just that at this special moment he needed a person like him to die, no he needed these 50,000 people to die. Even if the Mongolians dragged out this battle until their food and grass were cut off and they had to return to the army to plunder, the emperor would not send troops to intervene. Because he knew better than anyone how urgent the Meng Yuan people were to return home, and he also knew that the Black Flag Army in the canyon actually had no way out.
If Fang Jie dies, the emperor may feel pity at some point. After all, he really wanted to leave this young man to the prince and become a pillar of the Sui Dynasty. But after he knew some secrets, how could he feel confident and bold enough to let such an unknown person stand beside the prince?
As for the 50,000 Black Flag Army members
For the emperor, there may be no difference between these 50,000 people and 50,000 ants. With fifty thousand lone troops fighting to kill Kuoketai Menglie's two hundred thousand wolf cavalry, the emperor would not be at a loss. Moreover, the contribution of these 50,000 people was too great. If they returned alive, what would the emperor give as a reward? As long as they are all dead, the emperor only needs to remember them, right?
Once again!
Fang Jie stood on the stone wall and looked at the endless Mongolian and Yuan troops outside, his expression gradually becoming ferocious.
Once again, my belief in humanity was exploited. Once again, the little trust I had left was trampled on again. Once again, I was being played like a fool and being applauded, while before I was still lamenting that people have feelings after all and will eventually find warmth from each other's bodies.
The man named Yang Yi has made him realize the coldness of human nature time and time again.
There is no doubt that Yang Yi is really a person born to be an emperor.
Fang Jie's fists were clenched tightly. Although he was looking at the Meng Yuan people who were attacking crazily, he was not thinking about the current matter at all. It's him in my mindThe words the emperor said to him when he left Xiping still feel so sincere and kind in retrospect, but these words are actually poison.
When Fang Jie was imprisoned in Chang'an City, he told himself not to easily trust anyone except those around him.
But he didn't do it.
After all, he is not a typical person of this era. The concepts deeply ingrained in his mind make him unwilling to believe that there is only a pure relationship between people. The fact is that every time his thoughts are cut by the cold reality. break.
His eyes were a little dazed, and then he raised his head and looked at the sky again.
What do you want me to understand?
He wanted to ask God, but how could God give him an answer?
Just when he looked up at the sky, a cold arrow was shot directly on his chest, which immediately caused the guards around him to exclaim. Come up. Qilin was so frightened that he opened his mouth but did not dare to speak.
"ah!"
This cold arrow completely aroused Fang Jie's anger. He looked down at the hole in the clothes on his chest and the red light in his eyes spread uncontrollably, like a wild beast that had awakened. This time the red light was so strong that it almost came out of my eyes.
He reached out and made a move, and the Chaolu knife stuck on the ground flew up and landed in the palm of his hand. The furious man jumped down from the stone wall and fell into the densely packed Meng Yuan wolf cavalry. This move frightened all the Black Flag Army soldiers on the city wall to a standstill. Qilin and the others and the people from the Gishibing camp almost wanted to jump down at the same time, but were stopped by Shen Qingshan and Zhuo Buyi.
"Let him go"
Zhuo Buyi sighed: "No one hurt his body, he just got hurt in his heart."
Under the city wall
Seeing someone falling down, the wolf cavalry immediately pounced on them like wild beasts seeing someone fall on the ground. But the next second, a circular void with a diameter of three meters appeared around the body of the person who landed. As he moved, this void began to form. As he moved, wherever he passed, there was a wave of blood.
Under the influence of the power of metal, the Chaolu Sword turned into a peerless weapon with a blade length of three meters. The crowd only saw stumps and broken arms flying up non-stop, and the wailing sound frightened the vultures circling in the sky. Have to fly far away. A person keeps killing in a sea of ??people, and life disappears so quickly under the knife.
The courage of the Wolf Cavalry only lasted for three minutes before it was shattered, and the defeated troops began to run back like crazy.
"Devil!"
"A demon came down from the city!"
"The devil from hell, the invulnerable, unbeatable devil is here!"
A man drove countless wolves back.
When Zhuo Buyi heard this shouting, his mood was extremely complicated.
A voice said sadly in his heart: "Emperor you know, your self-righteous approach may not go as you wish, but it can really turn a person into a devil a person who makes the world tremble. demon."
