"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"The success of destroying thieves is to fight here!"

"Everyone, rush forward! Anyone who takes half a step back will be killed!"

"Tum...tom...tom..."

Even in front of the mountain, the sound of war drums resounded through the sky, and war flags fluttered in the mountain wind like clouds hanging from the sky, covering the entire valley.

Countless Song soldiers wearing red tasseled Fanyang hats, armed with various weapons, pushing arrow carts or holding arrow shields, attacked the bandits' stronghold from bottom to top.

Even when the mountain road was narrow, the Song army attacked from the rear, so the progress was extremely slow. Some people were constantly hit by arrows and fell into the valley with a series of screams.

"Archers, set up your formation!" A Song army general in full iron armor drew his sword and shouted.

Groups of Song Army archers carrying arrow pots and holding crossbows swarmed forward. Under the cover of the sword players, they gathered in front of the stronghold and raised their bows to shoot.

Even the mountain bandits fought back with bows, arrows, flying stones, and spears.

There were many officers and soldiers, and their weapons were relatively sharp, while the bandits and bandits occupied the advantageous location and resisted desperately from a high position. The two sides went back and forth, entangled together, and fought desperately.

The officers and soldiers on this day were completely different from those in the past. In the past, they would retreat at the slightest contact, but today they gritted their teeth and refused to retreat. It seemed that a strict order had been issued to capture the bandits' stronghold.

Even in the mountain village, war drums were roaring, arrows were raining like rain, and both sides were roaring like thunder. They were fighting desperately, and corpses were strewn all over the mountain village.

Zhanshan, which used to be beautiful and relatively peaceful, instantly turned into a Shura hell.

........

Even in the mountains behind the mountains, "ghosts see sorrow"

"Huang Zhuanjing said that if we capture the bandit's stronghold, we will reward him with five hundred coins, twenty pieces of cloth, and five pieces of Juan."

In the biting mountain wind, the Song army prepared to attack Zhang Kan, raised his sword and shouted: "Give them all to me!"

After Zhang Kan finished speaking, he waved his flying claws, hooked the vines on the opposite cliff, roared, and swung towards the opposite side first.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man! The eighty dead soldiers carefully selected by Huang Huan threw flying grabs, scratching hooks, ropes and other objects, and followed Zhang Kan to climb up the opposite cliff.

The cliff was so steep that there was almost no place to stand. The mountain wind was gusting, and people kept falling into the bottomless abyss, making screams one after another.

But even so, even though "Ghost Sees Sorrow" is so dangerous and insurmountable, most of the dead soldiers still crossed "Ghost Sees Sorrow" and headed towards the bandit stronghold.

After a while, a raging fire broke out even behind the bandit stronghold. In the fire, countless vigorous figures rushed left and right in the bandit stronghold. As a result, the bandit stronghold was in chaos, roaring, cursing, begging, and crying.

Reverberating through the sky.

........

Even the fighting was raging around the mountain. You could hear movement from several miles away, you could hear the sound of war drums resounding in the sky, and you could see billowing smoke rising into the sky from ten miles away.

"Hey..." Li Sanjian, who was riding on the fast horse, looked back, sighed, turned the horse's head with a complicated mood, determined the direction, and galloped away.

Even though the bandits committed evil deeds that were deplorable, not all of them were extremely vicious. There were also ordinary people among them, even ordinary people from poor families who could not survive and therefore lost their virginity and became thieves.

The thieves were certainly hateful, but killing like this made Li Sanjian extremely intolerable.

Ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, the punishment will not be as good as the officials.

The Song Dynasty laws and regulations seem to be more lenient, but they are only for the scholar-bureaucrat class, only for royal family members, relatives of the emperor, etc. For ordinary people, the Song Dynasty laws and regulations are extremely harsh, especially for thieves, and the punishment is even more severe.

, frequently beheading people, ransacking their homes, beheading people, abandoning markets, and even punishing them, which is an extremely cruel and bloody punishment. If a bandit like Zhan Shan is caught, what good results can there be?

But what can Li Sanjian do? What can he change?

The fact that the army was able to successfully invade the bandit camp this time had a lot to do with Li Sanjian. This made Li Sanjian feel extremely complicated. He didn't know whether he should be happy or regretful?

A nunnery outside Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, Song Dynasty

The nunnery here is a larger nunnery in Kaifeng Prefecture, covering an area of ​​about five hectares of official land, and is called Nunzhen Nunnery.

Lvchen's Nunnery is a majestic scenery, standing among the lush woods, with spiritual energy filling the sky, and the sound of bells echoing in the wilderness.

There are three floors in the main hall of Privet Chest Nunnery, which enshrine various Buddha statues. There are also dozens of meditation rooms. The majority of Privet Chest Nunnery is female nuns, with as many as hundreds of people.

There is also an endless stream of faithful men and women who go to Nuchen Nunnery to burn incense and worship Buddha, including princes, ministers, relatives of the emperor, and family members.

It is said that while burning incense and worshiping Buddha, admiring the young nuns is more eye-catching than looking at the thick monks, right?

"Buddha bless you, if my wish comes true, I will rebuild my golden body and offer incense heavily." At this time, in a main hall of Nuchen Nunnery, a man wearing the regular clothes of the Song Dynasty King held several sticks of incense and said to

He prayed silently while looking at a Buddha statue.

"Your Highness, Cai Chen, the son of Cai Chengzhi, is waiting outside the palace." At this time, a close aide said to the prince.

"Isn't Cai Chengzhi here?" the county king asked a little disappointed after hearing this.

The staff member nodded.

"Forget it, please ask him to go to the side room. I'll be there later. Remember, you must be respectful to him." The prince pondered for a moment and then ordered.

"As ordered." The staff member responded and went down to make arrangements.

The prince then took the fragrant tea handed over by the nun, drank a few sips, rubbed his temples, and tried his best to look at the increasingly blurry scene in front of him.

The eye disease has become more and more severe recently, especially in the right eye, and it is almost impossible to see things in the distance clearly. The prince feels extremely uncomfortable. Things are better when they are closer, but once they are more than one foot away, they can't see clearly.

Blurry.

The county prince spent a lot of money and hired famous doctors, but the situation still could not be improved. On the contrary, it became more and more serious.

Will he become blind in the future? The prince was extremely worried.

This matter must be done before the eyes go blind, so as to have a chance of survival, the prince secretly made up his mind.

........

"Your Highness, Cai Yi, wishes you good luck and good luck." Cai Yi, the son of Fan Bailu, the secretary of the imperial court, saw the prince entering the room with his eyes narrowed, and quickly saluted.

The prince who entered the house was the ninth son of Zhao Xu, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, named Zhao Yi. He suffered from severe convulsions when he was young and almost died. Although he was cured by famous doctors, he also left some sequelae, including severe eye disease.

of sequelae.

At this time, Zhao Bai could not only see clearly in the distance, but also had a slight squint, which meant he tilted his head when looking at people and things.

"There is no need to be so polite in Fan Yameni. Please sit down and serve tea." Zhao Bai then smiled at Cai Chen.

"Thank you, Your Highness." After hearing this, Cai Yi sat down not far from Zhao Yi calmly.

, so that he can see himself clearly.

How could Cai Yi not know that Zhao Bai had an eye disease? If he sat far away, making Zhao Bai look like he was working extremely hard and exposing his eye disease, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing? Wouldn't it cause trouble?

Zhao Bai’s shame and disgust?

"Today, Xiao Wang invited the Yamen to come here to give something to Mr. Zhongshu." Zhao Bai said straight to the point.

Zhao Bai then gently pushed a tray covered with red silk cloth in front of Cai Feng.

Cai Chen gently opened the red silk cloth, and saw a golden Buddha appearing in the tray. The golden light was shining, and a golden light suddenly appeared in the Zen room, illuminating the Zen room as bright as day.

The workmanship of this golden Buddha is extremely exquisite, and its face is lifelike. The color of its eyes is different from ordinary people, it is light blue, and it emits a faint blue light in the Zen room.

After careful observation, Cai Yi discovered that the eyes of the Buddha were made of sapphires. From this, it can be seen that this Buddha is extremely precious and does not look like something from the Central Plains.

Sure enough, Zhao Bai then said: "This is the Buddha statue that Xiao Wang paid a lot of money for. It comes from the Western Regions. It was personally consecrated by Master Fanjing, a Zen master from the Western Regions. It is said that this Buddha can ward off evil spirits and eliminate evil, and bring good luck and life."

"I dare not accept such a profound gift from Your Highness." Upon hearing this, Cai Yi quickly left his seat and declined.

The Golden Buddha was so valuable and exquisite that people immediately felt like they could take it for themselves. The same was true for Cai Chen, but he still refused.

"Xiao Wang heard that Fan Zhongshu was fond of Buddhist services, so he asked someone to bring this Buddha back from the Western Regions. Why is it that the yamen didn't accept it at this time?" Zhao Bao looked at Cai Chen closely and said.

It had been known that Cai Chen was an extremely greedy man, like a goose plucking his hair. At this time, he actually refused this generous gift, which made Zhao Bai feel a little surprised and secretly amused at the same time.

Zhao Bai had already talked about this, how dare Cai Chen refuse to accept it? So Cai Chen showed a helpless and hopeless look and said: "In this case, I will accept it on my father's behalf.

Thank you very much, Your Highness. The official and his son are very frightened."

"Haha, it's just a small gift, it's not worth mentioning. Come on, Fan Yameni, please have tea." When Zhao Bai saw that Cai Chen finally accepted the golden Buddha readily, he burst into laughter and invited tea again and again.

With great etiquette to clear the way, both the host and the guest immediately felt relaxed. The host and guest were enjoying themselves and could talk freely.

After a while, Cai Yi opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness showed so much love to Xiaguan and his son, Xiaguan and his son were very frightened. As the saying goes, give me a peach and give you a plum in return. I also have a sentence to give to Your Highness."

Finally here, Zhao Bai thought to himself, it seems that he is a master who will not let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit...

"If you have anything to say, Fan Yanei," Zhao Bao then said with a smile.

Cai Chen then looked around and saw that there was no one in the Zen room except the two of them, so he leaned into Zhao Bai's ear and whispered: "It will cure the disease, but the medicine and stone will not work..."

"What?" Zhao Bai was shocked when he heard this, and quickly asked in a low voice: "Is it really to this extent?"

Cai Yi nodded after hearing this.

"Brother Emperor..." Zhao Bai burst into tears when he heard this, but he didn't know if it was because of his eye disease. It was thundering but not raining, so no tears fell from his eyes.

At this moment, a woman's gasping sound suddenly came from the Zen room, which startled the two of them.
