Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan finally reunited with Jing Yunpeng, but found that they were surrounded by officers and soldiers outside. Many masters in the army came out, making it difficult for the three of them to escape.
Upon seeing this, Li Rufeng went to kill Zhu Di again, and asked Jing Yunpeng and Fang Lingyan to break away quickly.
In order to gain credit in front of the emperor, all the guards rushed over to besiege Li Rufeng. Fang Lingyan and Jing Yunpeng ran all the way in the other direction. Unexpectedly, they encountered a chasing enemy midway. During the fight, the two became separated.
As soon as she arrived outside the camp, Fang Lingyan saw Feng Yanlang. It turned out that he had rushed through the acupuncture points and rushed over. However, this assassination was impossible to complete.
The two looked around, but still did not see Li Rufeng. They only encountered Jing Yunpeng, who had been hit by several arrows and seriously injured. He was followed by a group of officers and soldiers, and they were about to be surrounded, so they had to continue running. In a panic, they entered He found a shelter and hid in a cowshed.
The officers and soldiers entered the village, searched house to house, and soon surrounded the cowshed, preparing to go in and search.
The cowshed of this family has half a low courtyard wall outside and a cowshed inside. The cowshed has two floors, with straw placed on the upper floor. There is a hollow in the middle. Below the hollow is the cowshed. At the moment, there is a real cow sitting in the hollow. , tear off the straw from the upper layer and eat it.
But I heard a voice outside the door: "General, this is a dirty cowshed. You can just bring someone in to search. General, just wait outside. If someone comes out, it won't be too late to catch him."
After getting the general's consent, they saw a group of people climbing over the low pen wall and heading towards the cowshed. Fang Lingyan and the other three were waiting in full formation.
The man slowed down and said, "Don't panic, everyone. We are all brothers. Don't hurt one of your own by mistake. Look carefully before speaking."
Only then did Feng Yanlang hear the clue. The voice seemed to belong to Tang Sai'er, and he whispered: "Wait a moment."
Sure enough, I saw an inspection-looking man coming in with a few archers. His figure clearly didn't fit in the large inspection uniform. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Tang Sai'er.
Tang Saier saw Feng Yanlang and the others in the dark by the light of a torch, and signaled everyone to be silent. Then he ordered his two subordinates to take off their inspection uniforms and put them on Feng Yanlang and Fang Lingyan, and then asked the two men to support Jing Yunpeng. Go up the hollow and hide in the straw on the second floor.
At the same time, he pretended to search the upper and lower floors, then went out and said to the officer outside: "General, the young men have searched the cowshed up and down, and no one was found. , you see, even got covered in cow dung.”
The general smelled the smell of cow dung and felt sick: "Come on, come on... let's go quickly and search elsewhere."
Fang Lingyan and Feng Yanlang followed the team for a few steps, thanked Tang Saier quietly and then turned back. After finding Jing Yunpeng, they fled outside the village.
As soon as she arrived outside the village, Fang Lingyan stopped and said seriously: "Feng Yanlang, the authentic Confucian sect, obeys the order."
Feng Yanlang was stunned, and immediately understood that Fang Lingyan was going to act according to the canon as the head of the sect, so he held up his hands and said: "Feng Yanlang, the authentic Confucian sect, is here."
"I order you to lead Jing Yunpeng out of here quickly and seek help from a doctor without any mistakes."
Feng Yanlang opened his mouth wide, hesitated for a while and said, "What about you?" Of course he knew that Fang Lingyan must be looking for him before his senior brother Li Rufeng came out.
Feng Yanlang was about to ask again, but he heard Fang Lingyan sternly say: "This is an order." Then with a flick of his wrist, the Ling Yan sword was placed on his neck.
Feng Yanlang knew Fang Lingyan's temperament. Once he decided that even nine cows could not pull him back, he had no choice but to take Jing Yunpeng and flee towards the mountain.
But it was said that Li Rufeng turned around and went back to fight Zhu Di desperately. Although he was unsuccessful, he attracted a large number of people to besiege him. When he saw Fang Lingyan and Jing Yunpeng walking away, he had already put life and death aside and fought desperately in another direction.
At this time, Li Rufeng was exhausted and had several holes all over his body.
Zhu Di was surrounded by heavy guards and soldiers. He was eager to know who was so bold as to assassinate him.
Suddenly, there were several puffs, and two people were stabbed to the ground. A woman came through the air, it was Fang Lingyan.
When Li Rufeng saw Fang Lingyan coming, he was shocked. This place was already so dangerous. If he still came, wouldn't he be putting meat on the chopping board?
Fang Lingyan couldn't care less. She supported Li Rufeng with one hand and waved her long sword with the other hand to kill towards the outside.
However, the officers and soldiers had already gathered at this time, and it was not easy to break out of the encirclement. Soon, they were trapped in the center, with little left and right.
At this moment, a wailing sound was heard from the outside, and a large number of soldiers were seen scattered to the ground. A woman stepped on the head and floated over. Her two jade hands flew up and down. The wind of her palms was invincible, but it was Fang Lingyue who arrived.
Possessing the peerless magical power of the "Jing Ji Heart Sutra" and having the experience of previous battles, Fang Lingyue only felt that her inner strength was constantly flowing, and her moves were endless. She could learn the moves used by the five schools of Confucianism at a glance, even if she was in the Netherworld. Everyone in the field did not dare to use his front directly. In one move, one person was killed, and the other three could only stay away from each other.
Fang Lingyue flew up, rotated her body, and silently recited "Sun Tzu's Art of War". The words in her mouth seemed to turn into flowing seal characters, rushing towards the opponent, beating all the soldiers all over the ground. Looking for teeth, he then floated down and protected Fang Lingyan and Li Rufeng.
Zhu Di, surrounded by guards, stood on a high platform and hurriedly ordered Zhang Xin to stop them and not let them go wild.
Zhang Xin took the order, and although he was still frightened, he had no choice but to rush towards Fang Lingyue.
Fang Ling seized the opportunity, held the Ling Yan Sword, and flew straight towards Zhu Di. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di looked around. The King of Han and Ji Gang, who were usually eager to show their loyalty, were nowhere to be found. There were several loyal guards who were not Fang Lingyan's enemies.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Lingyan's sword was placed on Zhu Di's neck, and she shouted, "Stop it."
Zhu Di also broke out in a cold sweat and froze, daring not to move.
But when he heard "Wait a minute", he saw someone in Ji Gang's hand, it was Feng Yanlang. It turned out that after Feng Yanlang settled Jing Yunpeng, he hurriedly turned around to look for Fang Lingyan, but was caught by Ji Gang.
At this time, Zhu Di regained his imperial dignity and laughed loudly: "Get them."
Fang Lingyan was also anxious. She leaned her sword forward and said sternly: "Let's see who dares!"
At this moment, a loud chanting of the Buddha's name was heard, and a monk walked over from the outside.
Several guards hurriedly blocked the man and raised their eyes to ask Zhu Di for instructions.
The monk stood up and bowed to Zhu Di: "The poor monk Xu Ying of the temple is here to see His Majesty the Emperor."
Zhu Di didn't recognize Xu Ying. He glanced at the sword beside his neck and asked cautiously: "Who are you?"
Xu Ying paid his respects again: "The poor monk is the eldest grandson of Xu Shouhui, a rebel of the former dynasty. He became a monk in the local Duzun Temple. He came to see Your Majesty just to relieve His Majesty's current worries."
"Oh? Are you the direct grandson of Xu Shouhui?" Although Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once competed with Chen Youliang for the world, from Zhu Yuanzhang on down, they still respected Xu Shouhui, Chen Youliang's former lord. I think back then, if he hadn't raised the flag of righteousness and shaken half of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have risen.
Zhu Di ordered the sergeant to let Xu Ying come over and asked casually, "I wonder what the master has to say when he comes here."
Xu Ying said sternly: "Your Majesty has obeyed the destiny of God, brought glory to our country, and made great achievements. These donors actually want to assassinate Your Majesty. Don't you want to know why?"
When Zhu Di heard this, he was also stunned, so he asked Fang Lingyan in front of him, "Why do you want to assassinate me?"
"Hmph, why, do you remember Fang Xiaoru? Do you remember Jing Qing, Tie Xuan, and Sheng Yong? They were all brutally killed by you. For your own selfish gain, you seized the throne and harmed the people of the world. Don't you deserve to die? "
"So it's you... well, if you want to kill me, kill me. If I frown, I'm not worthy of being the emperor of tomorrow.
"Wait a minute, let's listen to what the poor monk has to say." Xu Ying turned to Fang Lingyan, then to Fang Lingyue, and began to talk.
How many things have happened in the rise and fall of the ages, and the Yangtze River is endless. When it prospers, the people suffer, and when it dies, the people suffer. Since ancient times, one general has achieved great success. Xiong Tong, King Wu of Chu, killed his nephew to seize the throne, opened up territory and expanded the territory, which greatly improved the national power of Chu; Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty killed his brother to seize the throne, pacified the four directions, and created the rule of Zhenguan; Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, seized the throne from his brother and established the Dazai Qian Yuan.
Success or failure depends on God's will, so it cannot be ignored by one move. Although there are difficulties in peace and stability in the country today, it is really commendable that we are able to work hard to manage the situation, but the power in the north is ruined, and the people of the country are stabilized. Nowadays, people's hearts are at peace. Once the emperor is dusted and the nine provinces are shaken, it will still be the people who suffer. The sins that have been done by the predecessors must not be allowed to be suffered by current and future generations.
The wind moves and the water moves. People at that time had their own luck at that time. How can the water of today quench the thirst of the past? These are all heroes of the world, and they should have a big mind. If they can let go of their hatred, they will be able to Harvesting good roots will be a blessing to yourself and the country. I hope you will think about it. "
These words, based on the interests of the country and the common people, had to make Fang Lingyan and others ponder whether it was right or wrong to kill Zhu Di today.
Zhu Di was also greatly shocked. He left his merits and demerits in the past for future generations to comment on. Unexpectedly, his life would be judged by this monk.
Xu Ying continued, "The two benefactors today only want to avenge the murder. If you still can't let go, please give all your grudges to the poor monk. The poor monk is willing to die to pray for the two of you to put down your swords, become a Buddha immediately, and win the throne." Let go of grudges and make peace."
When Fang Lingyue heard this, she was still unwilling to give in. She grabbed Li Rufeng's sword and stabbed Xu Ying.
Xu Ying did not dodge, put her hands together, smiled and accepted her death calmly.
Fang Lingyue's heart tightened. The sword reached Xu Ying's chest, but still stopped. Then her hand softened and the sword fell to the ground. She also turned her face away and closed her eyes. The painful memory of the past had blurred her vision.
Xu Ying smiled slightly, then slowly turned around, looked at Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty is a wise master, and you should know how important people's hearts are. This donor does not want to hurt the poor monk, that is, he does not want to be your enemy anymore. The poor monk Being able to survive by chance is a blessing from the Buddha, but the poor monk does not dare to live. He is willing to die to resolve the conflict, and also begs your Majesty to let these two people go. In this way, the people of the world will be grateful for your majesty's kindness." After saying this, he unexpectedly asked your Majesty to let these two people go. He pulled out a dagger and stabbed himself in the chest.
Master Xu Ying ended his life with a dagger, but what he said and did affected many people.
After all, Zhu Di was a hero of his generation. At this time, he stepped down and ordered people to withdraw from the siege, let the four people go, and sent people to bury Xu Yinghao alive.
However, Li Rufeng was unable to see the sun the next day. Due to his severe injuries and excessive blood loss, he could only sleep on an unknown mound.
Fang Lingyan held the Buddhist bead with the word "Hui" that Li Rufeng gave her, thinking thoughtfully, "Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs, and saints are unkind and treat the common people as stupid dogs. The world is not a world for one person. Since it is a world for people, It should be governed by everyone in the world."
After that, Fang Lingyan's mood changed drastically. She chose to leave secretly alone. She wanted to see if this world was really as peaceful as Master Xu Ying said. She wanted to verify with her own eyes whether the person she failed to kill was real. She didn't have to kill him. Before that, she didn't want to be content with her children's affair. Maybe she would come back one day when she saw clearly.
Two days later, Zhu Di received a report. After accounting, five carts of gold and silver treasures transported from Duoyun Mountain were missing. At the same time, more than a dozen patrol archers disappeared. After investigation, those patrol archers were Bailian. Longyan was furious and ordered Huicheng to search vigorously to detect the case and recover the treasure.
Fang Lingyan left without saying goodbye, leaving Feng Yanlang at a loss. He searched everywhere, but never met Fang Lingyan. He didn't understand why Fang Lingyan didn't want to see him again. He just silently recited "Thousands of miles away with the same wind, and I will be with you." "Yan Shuangfei", now he is alone, where is his Yan, so he spends the whole day wandering the streets, drinking to drown his sorrows, and practicing martial arts hard at the same time.
Fang Lingyue found Jing Yunpeng and returned to Nantian Bamboo House together. While practicing martial arts and revitalizing the Confucian school, she was looking for her sister Fang Lingyan.
Four years later, Tang Saier married Lin San. Shortly afterwards, Lin San was killed by the army while organizing an intra-religious activity.
In less than a year, Tang Sai'er led tens of thousands of religious followers to revolt in Shandong and attacked the government. They were very famous for a while, but they were put down by the army in less than a month, and Tang Sai'er disappeared without a trace.
