There is a mountain deep in the grassland. There is no temple on the mountain, just two thatched houses.

The thatched house looks dilapidated, as if it could be swept away by a gust of wind.

The mountain road was rugged, and an old man carried a load of water up the mountain leisurely.

"Master, hurry up!"

The two men in front were also carrying water. The buckets were bigger, but they were as easy as carrying lamp grass.

The old man smiled and said: "If you walk in a hurry, it's the same way. If I walk slowly, it's the same way. What's the difference between morning and evening? What's the difference between fast and slow?"

"Master, walk faster and save time."

“What should we do with the saved time?”

"You can practice, you can read, you can grow vegetables."

"Are you in a hurry to read?"

"No rush."

"Are you in a hurry to practice?"

"No rush."

"Don't we have food to eat?"

"have."

"So, what's the hurry?"

"Master, why are you so slow?"

"Hey! Look at this mountain, it's green. Look at the clouds, they're floating in white. Look at this trail, it's all made by the three of us, the master and the apprentice.

Look at the grass on the left. Yesterday, I remember it was stepped on by the boss, and it looked like it was dead. But look at it now, and it actually raised its head again.

Hey! What do people do in life? Isn’t it just to watch and experience these things? Why are you so anxious?"

"Master, one should do something while alive!" Fang Jue, the eldest disciple, turned around and argued.

"What should we do?" Ru'an smiled and shouldered the burden.

"Master." Second disciple Chen Hua said, "Didn't you say you want to recruit more disciples? But where will the money and food come from?"

"Yes!" Fang Jue pointed to the thatched house on the top of the mountain, "We only have two thatched houses and a vegetable field. If we recruit more disciples, where will the food, clothing, housing and transportation come from? Without money, it will be difficult to move even!"

Ru'an smiled and said, "Don't pursue money."

"Where does that come from?"

"fate!"

When the three masters and apprentices reached the top of the mountain, they first poured water into the water jar, then Fang Jue went to cook, and Chen Hua went to water the vegetable fields.

Sitting in front of the thatched house like a flower, she opened her clothes comfortably and let the mountain breeze blow into her chest.

"I heard the sound of horse hooves."

The kitchen is just outside, with a simple earthen stove. Fang Jue, who was cooking, raised his head and looked down the mountain.

"I've taught you to focus on doing things." Ru'an sighed.

Fang Jue smiled and said: "Master, I will be distracted just once."

"There are many things that happen for the first time, and they happen countless times." Ru'an pointed, and a pebble hit Fang Jue's butt, "This is a lesson."

"Ouch!" Fang Jue jumped on the spot.

"How about Enke?"

Halfway up the mountain, someone shouted.

Chen Hua, who was watering, hurried over and took a look below.

"Master, there are many cavalry."

Ru'an's expression remained unchanged, "Which noble person is here?"

The voice was long and drifting away, but Zhang Zhuo, halfway up the mountain, seemed to have someone speaking in his ear.

"This Khan Zhang Zhuo."

Ru'an said calmly: "What brings Khan here?"

"I heard you want to open the mountain gate?"

The clatter of horse hooves gradually reached the top of the mountain.

Zhang Zhuo came over with his hands behind his back.

If An didn't move, "What does Khan mean?"

Zhang Zhuo said: "Remember that you are from the Tiger Control Department, right?"

"No, I was born in a small tribe. That year, the tribe was wiped out, but fortunately I was saved by my master. Then I followed my master to travel around the grassland to practice..."

"You are a prairie man."

"That's right."

"Do you want to live in Datang?"

"I prefer the freedom of the grassland."

"This Khan's people came here more than ten times to ask you to come down from the mountain, but you refused on the grounds that you felt uncomfortable."

"It's still the same today."

Two disciples stood behind Ru An.

Zhang Zhuo looked around, "It's very dilapidated. I heard that you want to open a mountain gate to recruit disciples. Do you want to pass it on?"

"right."

"But I'm afraid you won't be able to find a disciple in the future."

"Why?"

"The Tang Dynasty sent troops and destroyed the Jibo tribe, followed by our Yuhu tribe. Once the three major tribes are destroyed, where will you find your disciples?"

"Huh?" Ru'an was startled, "The basic wave department is gone?"

"No more, defeated in one battle."

"Isn't Khan sure too?"

"If this Khan is sure, why would he come here?"

Ru'an stood up and looked south in the distance.

"The southern part of the town is weak and vulnerable. The following is my tiger control department."

"Southern part of town? Isn't it the Vashe tribe?"

Zhang Zhuo looked at him, "How long has it been since you went to a crowded place?"

"It's been several years!" Ru'an thought for a while, "I don't like the excitement very much."

"Washe was also wiped out, and later the remnants were used to build a town in the south, which was extremely weak."

"Is this what happened to the grassland?"

"Tanzhou will be content to watch the three major ministries fighting against the Tang Dynasty. In this way, there will be less three henchmen."

"In other words, there is no hope?"

"have."

"What method?"

"Please go to Lin'an City."

"kill?"

"right."

"who?"

"Chenzhou Governor, Yang Xuan!"

…

When Zhang Zhuo came down from the mountain, his advisor asked: "Khan, Yang Gou has so many masters, how can the three masters and disciples still kill him?"

Zhang Zhuo mounted his horse and looked back at the top of the mountain. "Ten years ago, Ben Khan took his troops to suppress the rebellious tribes. When the killings began, he was prepared to leave no one behind. Who would have thought that he would meet the three of them, master and disciple, and then three With a long sword, I killed more than two hundred elite men under this Khan."

Zhang Zhuo still had a look of panic in his eyes, which showed how much the scene had affected him.

No one was stupid enough to ask why the three masters and apprentices let him go.

"I have carefully checked and found that Yang Gou has good men under his command, including a spear wielder and dozens of big men full of energy and blood, but they are all capable of fighting. Fighting is completely different from assassination. They kill people in battle. He's a good hand, but he can't withstand Ru'an's sword."

The subordinates couldn't help but cheer up, "If Yang Gou dies, Chenzhou will be in chaos."
