“What is Ziling thinking?” Ba Fenghan asked
Xu Ziling was gazing at the Qin River flowing across the plain under the cliff Under the twilight of the setting sun, two Xia Army’s navy shi+ps set off fro’ in the last chapter] dock, heading toward the Great River Hearing the question, he said, “I a about Yin Xianhe, afraid that he encountered sohan sht where yourthis moment, but before, your pair of eyes revealed a tender, re that h circu with e the scene in the You Lin Xiao Gu where IZun Jiao, and then fro Zun JiaoZun Jiao cannot escape the blahan said, “Me evokes another Therefore, I rarely rereat taboo of martial art way cultivation Self-cultivation has no past, no future – there is only the present rasp this moment, must know this moment; otherwise life will be unreal like an illusion, it will pass by in vagueness Just like thisat the city of Wuzhi, at the sa at the city of Wuzhi This is thethe hundred-day cultivation in the desert”
Xu Ziling was silent for half a day; he said in shock, “Such a siht about it? However, this xinfa is easy to grasp but difficult to put into practice [idio life or death, we are forced not to dare to miss any moment before our eyes But in peacetime, there are inside and outside eles that you can’t guard against Like this , I have no awareness of which rasp the present hed and said, “I a is able to do that, it’s just that you did not request yourself, hence you are e the at-home-whenever-you-are frame of mind, to such an extent that you enjoy that kind of drea Ha! If you did not have Kou Zhong, this kind of brother who creates difficulties everywhere, surely you would not have the kind of achieve involuntarily, Xu Ziling nodded his head and said, “Fenghan Xiong’s view is accurate That should be it One can be his own ard and believe this as fate Just like the first tiht that we ht form life and death relationshi+p with you This is perhaps kar, pondering expression as he spoke slowly, “Ziling reet the present ht I’d -and-going-alone lifestyle, to treat all hu s cloud”
After a short pause, he continued, “What really moved me was your sincere brotherhood; I have never seen a co-one-another-with-absolute-sincerity friendshi+p like yours, which made my hostility toward you disappeared completely, while also feel that if I can entleht”
A burst of ehan rarely expressed the way of thinking inside his heart like this He wondered if it was after personally tasted Li shi+er opti, and under the threat of a ed his view of life
Gazing at Wuzhi, Ba Fenghan sighed and said, “To be able toto the east to keep a close watch over Li shi+ Li shi+min’s military power – it was indeed the demonic school’s extre asked, “Fenghan Xiong’s re Li Yuanji to participate in the battle of Luoyang ought to be Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng’s idea, why did you say that it was a stratagem, a devious sche tranquil and cal is confused, while I as more clearly shi+ Feixuan picked Li shi+ brush that the Gods use to fight the demonic school’s Two Sects, Six Ways In fact, until thatZhai and the deeous position, first by shi+ Zhixuan toppling the Great Sui, ht in chaotic situation where warlords vying for supree shi+ Zhixuan, it was al Guang’s place, while he hieneral situation from behind the screen shi+ Feixuan is the hero with all-seeing ed that the Li Clan is the poith greatest chance to unify the land under heaven, she was even aware that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are beguiled by the Tujue and the demonic school, two ive their all-out support to Li shi+ the Li Fahtful look; knitting his brows, he said, “However, that will also push Li shi+ a fallout with his father, and closed-ith his brothers Ay! I really don’t understand Feixuan on this point, at least not in such a clear-cut situation”
Ba Fenghan shook his head and said, “This matter is extremely delicate Li shi+ure shi+ Feixuan supported Li shi+min, it was like a friend who supported the Li Clan Li Yuan and Li Yuanji should be happy Only the demonic school understands shi+ Feixuan’s trueall kinds of methods they try to destroy the unity within the Li Clan They exploited Li Yuan’s cherishi+ng the i in fear toward Li shi+min’s unrivalled military achievement, Li Yuanji’s selfish desire to ascend the emperor’s throne, to firle against his father and brothers is actually the secret struggle between Ci Hang Jing Zhai and the dereed, “Fenghan Xiong’s analysis is thorough and convincing”
Ba Fenghan went on, “The one thing that the deht his father and brothers, Li shi+ Li Yuanji to the battlefield in Luoyang is precisely to prevent the situation froree, Yin De Fei, Dong Shuni, and the others would not speak to Li Yuan on Li Yuanji’s behalf, furthermore, Li Yuan would not disturb the heart of Li shi+min’s troops in this kind of critical juncture Let us wait and see Li Yuanji will definitely do so to make Li shi+min and us to be in an unresolvable deep ens that Li shi+min will have no choice but to do as he is ordered”
The earth was getting dark and the cold aswas speechless; he felt exhaustion that bubbled up froht in his pair of eyes flashi+ng, Ba Fenghan said, “People are fragile, the past is some kind of a burden, and the pressure of uncertain future is suffocating Therefore, focus your attention on the present moment Not only this is the xinfa of the self-cultivation, it is also a necessary technique to ht Do you reh will be able to survive Since Ziling already decided to fight side-by-side with us, you ought to throw everything aside Does Ziling understand what Inodded to indicate he understood Precisely like Li shi+min said, there is no friend on the battlefield, only ene side by side, Liu Heita and Kou Zhong reached the west gate Seeing it was Kou Zhong, the guards on duty all stood respectfully to salute
Kou Zhong spoke to Liu Heita, “No need to seeby two legs is a bit more convenient”
Liu Heita spoke heavily, “Let me see you off a bit farther”
The two rode all the ithout saying a word
Kou Zhong shrugged his shoulders to indicate he did not have any probleet out of the city; leaving the official road, they rode slowly into the wilderness
Liu Heita sighed and said, “I a to lose this battle”
S said, “The Dou Jiande that I just saas not the Dou Jiande that I knew during the siege of Liyang The two are the same person, yet how come they are so far apart?”
Liu Heita spoke heavily, “Because these past few months have been too favorable! First, we defeated Yuwen Huaji, and then we captured Liyang, even an outstanding figure in the Tang Areneral under his hands, he also subdued Meng Haigong, which made him feel that the emperor’s throne is just the object in his pocket that he could obtain by reaching into it His real character is out of control and becomes co said, “Liu Dage seems to be very dissatisfied with Old Dou, what actually happened?”
Liu Heita angrily said, “He wants , clearly he does not trust ht castdejectedly said, “When I cahly in so ive up all hope I never expected that Dou Jiande could lose his cool like this Ay! What is Liu Dage planning to do?”
Liu Heita recovered his calood plan do I have? I won’t live pass twenty-eight anyway To die a year earlier or a year later won’t make much difference I will use my life to prove to Dou Jiande, to let him see what kind of person I, Liu Heita, a re Daoqi already ascertained that Liu Heita would not live pass certain age, so that Liu Heita, knowing that he would not live too long,Ittheir hands in frustration
Mo welled up in his heart, he sighed and said, “What the hell is this all about? How did you get a chance to talk to the divine dragon, whose head is seen, his tail is not seen – Ning Daoqi? Besides, how could he be so lacking inthe time of other people’s death? This kind of senseless matter, it would be best if the person involved does not know Supposing he is seeing things incorrectly, won’t Liu Dage be very upset?”
Liu Heita hurriedly said, “Xiao Zhong, you must not be disrespectful to hiuidance, it was the karma cultivated over several lifetimes He, the Senior, really did not foresee that I would not live pass the age of twenty-eight, but he only said that this is a juncture; unless I a-blood-fro will bode ill, no positive signs”
Shaking his head, Kou Zhong said, “I will be the first person not to believe it Fate is fate, one has it, one does not Therefore, if fate really exists, there is no such thing as if or only if Just think, if fate has two possibilities, leading one would affect the whole body, one person’s fate changes, it ht be like doe everything”
Liu Heita muttered to himself irresolutely for half a day He nodded his head and said, “You are right In that case, I will certainly die Clearly Ning Daoqi was co me to cultivate virtue, afraid that I would cultivate the world’s virtue”
Kou Zhong was ainally wanted to resolve Liu Heita’s karht that it produced the opposite of the desired result, it drove away his last gleahed aloud and said, “Life and death are ruled by fate [idiom], riches and honor are in the Heaven’s hands A real man is buried in a horse hide, the battlefield issooner or later can be considered what kind of his granny’s bird thing? Let’s not take tooDaoqi lower hiive me direction about my future, until now I aainst Ning Daoqi, I wonder if that ru nodded and said, “Indeed that is true After strongly advised inally he wanted to kill htened hed and walked away Really strange”
Shaken, Liu Heita said, “Perhaps he saw you as the bright lord ill unify the world in the future You can’t say for sure”
Recalling anothershi+vered inwardly He casually responded, “Liu Dage must not crack jokes I as”
