After that, there was a little follower behind Zhu Houzhao who was wiping his nose. .

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

This name made Fang Jifan disgusted for a long time!

Xiaorong is a very obedient person. Wherever Zhu Houzhao goes, she will follow him.

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 sucked it, then looked around and then carefully stuffed it back into his sleeve.

When he accidentally looked at the girl who always followed the former crown prince, he couldn't help but feel jealous, but he had no choice.

The students began to treat their illnesses, began to build some simple fortifications, and began to distribute rations, although the rations were about to be sold out...

So, after discussing with Fang Jifan, Wang Shouren had to boldly go back, take some people back to clear the road, and protect the upcoming Xishan Grain Team.

At the breach of a certain river bank, it was still flooding the water wildly.

After observation, a student who was quite familiar with river craftsman made suggestions to Fang Jifan and decided to fill it in a broken dike. According to his speculation, if the hole could be filled, the water in the county would be very likely to retreat!

Zhu Houzhao ordered this matter and personally led people to repair the river embankment.

This is a very difficult thing, but Zhu Houzhao is not afraid of hardship. He will first carry Zhu Xiaorong who has followed him to the tree branch, then rub his hands and a hoe, and lead people to start moving countless big stones, then put the big stones into the woven vine basket and throw baskets of big stones into the breach.

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

With Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, although they were not full, they suddenly saw hope of rebuilding their homes!

So hundreds or thousands of people were carrying soil and rocks on the river bank. The impact of the river was quite strong and the water flowed rapidly. Once the careless people fell into the water, they would not see anyone again. Zhu Houzhao would always look back nervously to see Zhu Xiaorong on the tree branch, for fear that she would sneak down from the tree and accidentally fall into the water.

"This is His Highness the Crown Prince."

People were whispering, many people did not believe it, and the victims even believed that this uninvited group of guests was a group of rebels who had proclaimed themselves as kings!

Two years ago, the Lingqiu County government took several such people, claiming to be the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and also granted the title of crown prince, prime minister, empress, imperial concubine, grand sarma, and general.

If such a prince had been tied up and sent to the office in normal times.

But now, everyone has tacitly agreed not to do this, and there is no such group of people who are most likely to be rebels to raise any objections.

They thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not bad, and he was a good farm worker, but... it was a pity! Someone whispered, how could he do such things? This young man was so energetic. He had a daughter marry him. When the famine passed, with his body, he could rent fifty acres of land.

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

People like to be with this prince, so if you rebel, just rebel. Now that you are suffering from disaster, everyone is in danger and are about to starve to death. Who cares if you are a rebel?

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

In addition to fighting tigers, dozens of officers and soldiers were unable to get close to each other. It is said that the bow and horse were also very good. It is said that they were also from a wealthy family and learned good skills. However, their family was sued and eventually became a bandit.

Since then, Lingqiu County has been more than just the ones in Datong, and it is also very famous.

"Ha, I really want to see it for a while."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes shone with interest. He had great enthusiasm for this group of thieves, and he could be said to be sharpening his knife.

"Our Lingqiu County is based on Datong Prefecture. My benefactor, think about it, there are border troops everywhere here, but this person can roam around Datong and Lingqiu. It can be seen that this person is so powerful... "

On the third day, the grain team finally arrived. Just to be cautious, there were only seven or eight large trucks of grain transported in the first batch!

As soon as the food arrives, the urgent need is temporarily solved. Although there are still people who have died in the past few days, people are burying the deceased and cannot hide their grief, but they are beginning to feel full of hope.

In the nearby villages, students who went to inquire around them would come and lead a team of people. The breaking was finally blocked, causing the water to gradually recede, and the roads to become less difficult. More and more people began to gather here. The county town was covered with mud and countless collapsed houses. Some people began to return to their homes and began to clean up the completely destroyed remains.

At this time, the soldiers finally found the traces. According to the people who ran back, several people were riding horses and wandering around, but they did not get close to each other, but... they looked like thieves.

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was immediately excited. He forced people to stay too far from the camp without being together... and they were not allowed to stay outside the earth walls that were standing at night.

The reason why people eventually become the master of all things in this world is that no matter what disaster they encounter, they can always recover quickly. Now, although there are still victims everywhere here, people have begun to rebuild their homes.

At the beginning, it may be extremely hard, but slowly, as more and more disaster victims gathered here, people, led by the students, began to clean up the silt and search for everything that can be warm and eaten.

It's just... when night falls.

Suddenly, the wolfdogs here began to bark wildly, and the air began to feel uneasy.

The victims were trembling behind the earthen walls.

Someone said: "Hu Kaishan is here, and the tiger-killing Hu Kaishan is here."

It seems that people are extremely afraid of this name.

Fang Jifan has been making fire for people these days, which is within his ability. He can only be a chef. He lies under the earth stove every day, holding a bamboo tube, and blowing wildly under the stove, making him feel that his body is already covered with smoke.

When he heard that the enemy might have attacked, Fang Jifan, who was sleeping soundly, turned over and rose up, and then shouted: "Call people and prepare to face the enemy."

The students are fearless, and after these days, they seem to have learned to put life and death aside.

When they came, they carried bows and arrows, some also brought self-defense swords, and others had already prepared bamboo-cut spears.

Shen Ao was taking the pulse of someone. When he heard the sound of a gong, he picked up his bamboo gun and ran towards the earth wall without saying a word.

His heart was about to jump out, was he... afraid of death?

Perhaps, when he stepped into this place, he became 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 have lived hard, and finally gave them hope, so... they should protect them.

Integration of knowledge and action.

In my mind, in this moment, I felt like I thought of the knowledge taught by Mr. Wang.

The way of the saint is in my heart. Benevolent government is to save people. Isn’t letting the people live the greatest benevolent government?

In order to defend the way of the saint in one's heart, even if he is a scholar, he must pick up his weapons and never let the thieves step into this place.

His heart was beating wildly, and he gathered with the students. They saw the master, the crown prince, Mr. Wang, Mr. Tang, and one person after another. This made Chen Ao feel relieved! He held the bamboo gun tightly, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth. Perhaps... he would die, but that was also for the sake of the Tao in his heart.

Tao is very simple, and it is never a truth that is difficult to study in depth. There is no so-called hearing about Tao in the morning and dying in the evening. This is because Tao is the easiest to discover. Those scholars who are looking for Tao in the sea of ​​books are wrong. Tao cannot be more simple, but they spend their whole life experiences searching hard.

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

Because... to practice these things, you may suffer all your hardships, encounter river water that breaks, you may have to farm against the scorching sun, or even die just like this night!

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

Only by dying to defend the way of a saint can one become a gentleman!

Zhu Houzhao shouted in the dark: "Liu Jin, Liu Jin, get over, get out of here, take Zhu Xiaorong away, hide, and don't let her take a step forward.

Zhu Houzhao was holding a long knife in her hand, her spirits were full of energy, her eyes were as lightning as lightning, and she was so excited that she was about to cry.

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

He tried his best to calm himself down, and tried his best to poke his head out of the earth wall, and the five disciples behind him surrounded him, which comforted him. No matter what, it would be a lucky thing to be able to face it with his disciples when danger comes.

Outside the earth wall are countless torches, and the torches gather into a long dragon.

Behind him, the young and strong victims shouted: "What are you afraid of? Let's fight with the thieves with your benefactors."

"Yes, fight!"

One voice after another, responding in the darkness.

They may not know what the way of the saint is, but in fact, they also have the way in their hearts. This way... is nothing more than conscience. For this conscience and to repay kindness, they still have the courage to face danger.

Dada dada...

There was a sound of horse hooves outside.

Fang Jifan stood against the earthen wall and listened with his ears.

The torch like a long dragon was enough to prove that the thieves were so powerful, but the sound of horse hooves did not seem to be noisy, as if only one person was riding a horse toward this place.

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

The other party was already behind the earthen wall, and everyone held their breath, but in an instant, there seemed to be some force and hit the earthen wall hard. The earthen wall was not very acquainted, and the other party's strength was obviously very large. The earthen wall that was not solid enough was built by the Crown Prince himself, and the first tofu project that was built by His Royal Highness himself instantly... collapsed.

A huge black shadow appeared behind the earthen wall.

Just when everyone is in a dirt.

The black shadow shouted: "Dare you ask where Fang Jifan is?"

"..." Why is it me?

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

Well, Fang Jifan felt that he could not admit defeat: "Here, what kind of thief is he? The person is here..."

The huge black shadow knelt down in an instant, but even if he kneeled down, it was even taller than many people standing: "Greetings to benefactor!"
