break the way [comprehension]

They got up all the way, and the monk's footsteps were naturally not comparable to ordinary people. Du Ziteng was also observing the situation in this mortal realm along the way.

After entering the territory of the Yuan Kingdom, Du Ziteng couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Although he was still facing the same predicament, the people might be dressed in rags and skinny, but they could still hear the voice:

"Folks, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, everyone has a share in the relief food from the imperial court..."

"The spring sowing is here, sister-in-law Zhu, do you have seeds to go to the field?"

"Those who dare to violate the order and rob, will end up with such a knife!"

……

Everything in the Yuan Kingdom at least shows that everything is still in order, and at least the tragedy of changing children to eat has not happened. Among them, the "Huaxiu Army" of the Yuan Kingdom has contributed a lot. Looking at the teams Du Ziteng couldn't help laughing at the special tattoos on the sergeant's robes. He didn't expect that, as time passed and things changed, the method he had to hold back in that small mountain village was still being used, heh.

Even Du Ziteng was embarrassed to see Xiao Niangniang Temple in those densely populated places. Really, before the catastrophe, there were a lot of people praying to gods and worshiping Buddha. However, because this Xiaoniangniang Temple is a military temple, not only the common people pray for worship, but even the officers and soldiers of the Huaxiu Army go to worship from time to time.

Du Ziteng: ...

And in Yuandu, behind the temple of Xiao Niangniang, where the incense is most prosperous, the heavily guarded but sparsely populated place is their destination this time.

Jian Ze looked up with the baby on his back, and couldn't help being surprised: "Duke Dingguo's Mansion?!"

Along the way, not only Du Ziteng, but also Jian Ze and the three of them also had a good impression of the Yuan Kingdom. The Yuan Kingdom's army with strange clothes but still able to order and prohibit them in such an apocalyptic environment impressed them even more. Or, they can also imagine how much painstaking efforts the leader needs to make in order to maintain the order in this desperate situation.

And in the Yuan Kingdom, they have heard many legends about the commander of the Huaxiu Army along the way. From the guards of the palace to the commander of the three armies, one person is less than ten thousand. He is the most trusted and trusted general of Emperor Yuan. All the way to support the emperor to ascend to the great treasure, and after Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, there was neither the tragic strategy of "all the birds and the bows", and even "the power to release the soldiers with a glass of wine" did not happen. The emperor still entrusted the three armies. , is rare in the annals of history, and many people in the Yuan Dynasty are also fond of talking about it.

Since he is loved by the king, this Dingguo Duke has never relied on power for profit, and he has never been relaxed for a day. According to the rumors in this Yuandu, with the benefit of the listening skills of these monks, they even heard that this Dingguo In order to live up to the emperor's kindness, Duke Ding has never married a wife or taken a concubine. The position of Duke Ding is clearly hereditary and promises to be a super-rank title. However, Duke Ding is so determined that there will be no descendants. Come to inherit—to let such a monstrous power finally be in his hands alone.

And when these few comprehension circles shuttled through the streets and alleys where the rich and powerful lived, they also heard more secrets-the so-called heart of gossip, everyone has it, they have not yet ascended, and occasionally treat themselves as mortals There's nothing wrong with looking at it, cough.In fact, it was really because of the great reputation of Duke Dingguo among the people that it was hard not to be interested in the journey of several monks.

Ding Guogong's father followed King Xian'an in the early years, and now his biological father has passed away. There are no relatives and friends in the family. In the early years, he was the most sought-after diamond king in Yuandu. You must know that he alone holds the military power of the Yuan Kingdom , and is deeply relied on by the present, and given the title of Duke of Ding, it can be said that he is powerful and young. Such a son-in-law makes all the nobles in the entire Yuandu go crazy, but this Duke of Ding actually declined one by one, no matter what. Which daughter, no matter how beautiful she is, how beautiful she is, she can't impress him at all.

Rumor has it that Jinshang's elder sister, the former emperor's daughter, and current Princess Anping also fell in love with this heroic and handsome Duke Ding at first sight, and once asked Jinshang to be a matchmaker. Among the most secret rumors, no one knew that Jinshang had It was not mentioned to Duke Ding. All in all, this matter came to an end when Princess Anping married the jade-faced woman who paraded through the streets. rested.

After all, let’s not talk about the status and status of Princess Anping, just talk about everything about the ordinary daughter’s family: appearance, talent, temperament, and nothing that is not outstanding, and like this, she was not favored by Duke Ding... The rest of the family naturally rested too. This thought.

As a result, such rumors gradually emerged in Yuandu: His Majesty does not doubt his ministers, and the ministers do everything they can to serve the emperor.

For such Ding Guogong, even Jian Ze and the three monks are full of awe, and they have to admire them. Although they have never experienced the temptation of being at the top of power in the mortal world, the temptations faced by monks on the way of cultivation have never been less. If it is really based on keeping one's heart, this Dingguo is afraid that he has done better than most monks in the cultivation world, so it is not admirable.

Even if he is an ordinary person, it is difficult to hide the majestic and heroic figure outlined in these rumors.

Xianyuan Town is next to Yunheng Peak, and the townspeople inevitably have a bit of heroism. Therefore, when Jian Ze asked in an admiring tone: "Brother Du, do you have friendship with this Dingguo...?" This time we came to find this person?"

Looking at the rare respect that Jian Ze's three monks showed for an ordinary prince's mansion in this world, and thinking about those rumors and what he actually knew about each other's temperament...Du Ziteng felt a toothache.

However, he was here to do business, so it didn't matter.

The entrance of Duke Dingguo's mansion is also different, there are no servants, only two soldiers of Huaxiu Army standing there.

Du Ziteng stepped forward and showed a jade talisman calmly: "I am asking to see you."

The soldier took it in surprise, but in a good-tempered manner made Du Ziteng and the others wait in place, and then quickly went in to deliver a message.

Not long after, a tall, thin middle-aged scribe came out, and when he saw Du Ziteng, he said repeatedly: "Several, please, please, please, I'm rude!"

Du Ziteng raised his eyebrows when he didn't see the Duke of Ding, maybe after the opponent's position is high and powerful... he can't treat him with the original etiquette?

As if seeing Du Ziteng's surprise, the middle-aged scribe hurriedly said: "In Xiaxia Mountain, he followed the general in his early years and served as a military adviser of the Huaxiu Army. Now he is a staff member of the Duke's Palace. My confidants have mentioned my orders to the face, I don’t know how many times, if he is in the mansion, I am afraid that he will go out of the mansion to meet him no matter what, but now there is something in the palace, others are under confinement, I have ordered people to wait outside the palace gate, as long as The general will come back immediately after leaving the palace, it is really rude now, don't blame me, sir."

There is nothing wrong with this explanation. Du Ziteng is not such a petty person, but he doesn't like to waste time, so he just smiled slightly: "Mr. Fang?"

Fang Shan hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

But Du Ziteng continued: "Since Song Mingjun has mentioned it to you many times, then you should know that I am not the kind of person who likes red tape. I came here rashly. He has something to enter the palace. Say something rude."

Fang Shan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Du Ziteng directly address Duke Ding by his name, but he couldn't accuse him of being disrespectful. After Du Ziteng's words, he wanted to say a few words in accordance with the etiquette, but the other party already stated that he didn't like this kind of thing. Xuli, for a while, this long-sleeved and good at dancing military strategist was actually hanging on the spot, unable to get up or down, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

He smiled wryly in his heart, that's all, the leader is clearly young, but he is an expert in the world repeatedly mentioned by the general. He has helped the Yuan Kingdom, the present, and even the general a lot in the early years, so he is qualified to do so Yes, I should not treat myself with worldly courtesy.

So all these rituals are saved, and the communication becomes much more efficient.

Du Ziteng said directly: "Go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Song Mingjun and I haven't seen each other for many years. This time we came here not to reminisce, but because of the natural disasters in several surrounding countries."

Fang Shan was startled and then smiled. He vaguely heard Song Mingjun mention the extraordinary ability of this reclusive expert, but... this is a natural disaster, and the people of dozens of countries around him suffer from it. Could it be possible to change the celestial phenomenon by one's own power?

Du Ziteng didn't take his disapproval to heart, but continued: "I've traveled all the way, and although the Yuan Kingdom has also suffered from it, everything is still in order. That's good, at least the next recovery will be possible." foundation, only with recovery will there be a stronger possibility..."

Fang Shan couldn't help but said: "Sir, I'm afraid you don't know the real details. As far as the moment is concerned, the people of our Yuan Kingdom are in dire straits, and the people are in dire straits. Now even the Huaxiu troops stationed in various places are ready to fight at any time. As long as a natural disaster breaks out, they will be killed." Immediately go to rescue the people, in such a situation, it is not easy to talk about recovery... "

But Du Ziteng said: "Natural disasters will subside by themselves."

Fang Shan was taken aback for a moment, and then forcibly suppressed the absurd smile that rose in his heart.

Who does this tall man think he is?Are the gods gods?

Didn't even the gods hear their prayers?The natural disasters one after another never stop, as if they want to erase them from this world, how can there be gods in this world!

He has been doing his best to assist Song Mingjun to get through these disasters, and Fang Shan even felt a surge of anger in his heart. They worked hard all night to keep the vitality of the Yuan Kingdom, and the general even dedicated himself!But these strange people who appeared out of nowhere in front of them actually looked like pointing out the general situation of the country... How could they not be angry?

Du Ziteng didn't care about the other party's emotions for such a humerus minister who is for the country and the people, he just said calmly: "At least in the past few months, there have been no natural disasters, am I right?"

Fang Shan was taken aback for a moment, as if...it was true.

Du Ziteng continued: "There are many reasons involved. You just need to know that several of us were also involved in it. The incident happened helplessly and involved so many people. No matter how you explain it, it will be useless. I will come here and not do this." Useless things are only here to solve the problem. As I said, the natural disaster has subsided, and now, for the weak Yuan Kingdom, how to restore its vitality as soon as possible is your top priority, and the few of us can help."

Du Ziteng really didn't have any nonsense, and the purpose was clear, so he began to ask about data such as prices, fields, and population. Although Fang Shan still had doubts about the role of their group, Du Ziteng was indeed the important person Song Mingjun repeatedly mentioned. He took care of it every day, and naturally he was clear in his heart. He asked Du Ziteng, and the questions Du Ziteng asked became more and more specific and in-depth. Fang Shan only dared to answer after thinking carefully. He found that this gentleman, whose name he didn't even know, was extremely knowledgeable about the facts of people's livelihood. Some of the data he asked, and even one or two thoughts expressed by the other party in meditation gave him a sudden enlightenment.

Time flies like this, and soon it was time to light the lamps, and Song Mingjun also hurried back to the house covered in cold air, apparently as soon as he received the news, he came back directly.

When he saw this Duke Dingguo again, Du Ziteng couldn't help being taken aback for a moment. When he saw his old friend again, he suddenly felt that time flies by and is ruthless. His eyes were dizzying, and he felt that time passed quickly, but in this Duke Ding, he really saw the traces of time.

The other party is now in his [-]s, and he has a beard under his chin like other men who have been around for thousands of years in the Yuan Dynasty. The anxiety at that time seemed to have been completely swallowed by the bottomless dry well of time, without any waves.

When he saw Du Ziteng, a real smile appeared on his lips, and he bowed to the end: "Xiao...Mr. Du, you are here."

This reunion greeting, a bit of a sigh but with too much expectation, actually stunned Fang Shan on the side.

It wasn't until Du Ziteng and his party left that Song Mingjun said to him: "Didn't you ask about the origin of the flower embroidery? This is the person who invented the flower embroidery to equip the entire army and ordered you to avenge and destroy the blood slaves."

Fang Shan was shocked, and immediately reacted and said: "How is it possible? Xiao Niangniang invented the embroidery, he is a man... ah!"

He suddenly woke up, the statue enshrined in the Temple of Empress Xiao never pretended to be merciful or ferocious like the gods in those temples. How similar is that Mr. Du!

Suddenly, after realizing it, Fang Shan, like his lord, truly believed everything Du Ziteng told him before leaving, and was inexplicably full of confidence in the future of Yuan Kingdom.

But Ding Guogong Song Mingjun's brows did not know why, apart from the relaxed confidence, there was actually a touch of anxiety that was difficult to dispel.
