The night was deep, and there was nothing in the dark night, but tonight was a night without moon or stars. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Tiancheng Continent Southland. Among the mountains and mountains in the western suburbs of the Great Liang Kingdom. Wat Pho. In a meditation room in the West Road Courtyard.

In a small room, a simple wooden bed was placed against the wall, the bed was a set of gray-blue futons, and a bamboo pillow was placed at the head of the bed; a boxy, gray-colored table was placed in the room directly facing the door, and a set of adobe tea sets and an oil lamp were placed on the table, and four boxy wooden stools were placed around the table. This is the meditation room in Wat Pho.

At this moment, the furnishings are simple, a lamp is like a bean in the meditation room at a glance, and three thousand green silk is pulled into a simple ball head, a pink jade plum blossom is swaying in her hair, and Leng Qingzheng, who is wearing a bright red Liuxian skirt, is sitting at the boxy table in the meditation room with a frown, with thousands of thoughts in her head.

In the afternoon, Leng Qing asked Master Wuchen who entrusted him and what was the entrusted matter, but at that time, Master Wuchen only turned his head slightly and pursed his lips and smiled at Leng Qing, and spit out two faint words between his thin lips: "Heavenly Machine." ā€

Rao is afternoon has passed, but as long as he thinks back to the answer of Master Wuchen at that time, Leng Qing still only feels a little headache: Heavenly machine, heavenly machine must not be leaked! This answer ...... What's the difference between not answering and not answering?!

At that time, Leng Qing originally wanted to ask again, because Leng Qing always felt that in the dark, in places she didn't know, there were people and things she didn't know that were driving the development of certain things, because too many things happened too much at too many times!

However, when Leng Qing opened her mouth again to ask, she was stopped by Liang Shengxiao first.

At that time, Leng Qing looked sideways at Liang Shengxiao who stopped her, but she only saw Liang Shengxiao frowning and slowly shaking her head at her......

That is, after being interrupted by Liang Shengxiao for a while, Leng Qing missed the best opportunity to ask questions, and the dustless master had returned to the Great Meditation Hall in such a short time, and slowly closed the door of the Great Meditation Hall from the inside......

Leng Qing is indeed not a person who likes to drill the horns of the bull, most of the time, if he can't figure out something, Leng Qing will put it down and not think about it. However, there are some things that cannot be allowed to be passed in a daze!!

In short, since she met Master Wuchen in the afternoon, until now, Leng Qing has been thinking, who is the master entrusted by and what is the entrusted thing? However, the reality is that no matter how Leng Qing thinks, Leng Qing can't think of a result, because Leng Qing has no clue.

In the end, Leng Qing, who had racked her brains and had no clue, was really tired, and fell asleep on the wooden bed in the meditation room......

On the second day, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing and several pilgrims who were also trapped in the Reclining Buddha Temple by the shower yesterday had lunch in the dining hall specially opened up to receive pilgrims in the Reclining Buddha Temple, and some monks in the temple said that the water flow of the small river outside the mountain gate of the Reclining Buddha Temple had receded a lot, and the water potential was gradually slowing down.

So, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing stayed in the Reclining Buddha Temple for half a day after lunch, and said goodbye to the monks of the Reclining Buddha Temple near the evening, and left the Reclining Buddha Temple to go down the mountain.

Liang Shengxiao originally wanted to say goodbye to Master Wuchen, but was told by the monks in the temple that Master Wuchen had gone to the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda early this morning, and he would not return to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha for four or five days, so Liang Shengxiao had to give up.

Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing walked all the way down the muddy mountain road after the rain, and when they walked out of the mountain gate of the Reclining Buddha Temple less than 400 meters, they arrived at the small river that blocked the two of them from going to the road yesterday.

After a day and a night of draining, the river has gradually calmed down, and although the current is not as gentle as usual, the speed of the flow is not turbulent. With the discharge of the river, the bamboo and wood pontoon bridge on the river also resurfaced, trembling and floating on the water, moving with the waves.

After crossing the river, there is a long winding mountain road.

Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing hurried all the way, and when they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sky was already very dark.

When they were still more than 100 meters away from the foot of the mountain, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing saw a black-canopy carriage parked at the foot of the mountain.

There was a person standing under the wheel of the canopy carriage, and another person was sitting on the wheel, but because the distance was still far away, the sky was very dark at the moment, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing couldn't see the shape of the two people clearly, and they could only vaguely see that the two people should be men.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, approached the canopy carriage parked at the foot of the mountain, and saw the appearance of the person sitting on the wheel, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing were immediately stunned, especially Liang Shengxiao, who took a long time to find his own voice and exclaimed: "Why is the eldest brother here?"

The man who sat on the wheel of the canopy carriage in all directions, wearing a Confucian scarf on his head, and wearing a gray and simple tunic was none other than Liang Shengde, the prince of the Great Liang Kingdom.

The man standing at the foot of the carriage was a plain-looking coachman in his mid-forties, dressed in a gray-blue caftan and brown suit, and holding a horsewhip in his hand.

Then again-

After Liang Shengxiao's words were asked, he saw Liang Shengde, who was sitting on the wheel of the carriage, squinting at Liang Shengxiao, who was standing under the carriage with a surprised face, and asked with a smile: "Are you embarrassed to ask?"

As soon as Liang Shengde said this, not only Liang Shengxiao, but even Leng Qing was a little embarrassed.

After the shower yesterday, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing went down the mountain and couldn't do it, so they returned to the Reclining Buddha Temple and stayed in the Reclining Buddha Temple for a night, and stayed in the Reclining Buddha Temple until this evening before leaving the temple to go down the mountain.

Originally, this was not a big deal, after all, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing did not go down the mountain because the road was blocked by a shower, which was not the original intention of the two of them, but they both forgot that there was still a coachman in the Prince's Mansion at the foot of the mountain yesterday......

Looking at Liang Shengde, who looked like a smile on his face, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing thought in unison: Now that the prince's eldest brother (Liang Shengde) can appear here, I am afraid that the coachman will not be able to wait for them to go down the mountain, so he took the initiative to return to the prince's mansion to report the news......

Sure enough, Liang Shengde's voice was only a moment, and in an instant, he said to Liang Shengxiao in a helpless and annoyed tone: "Yesterday afternoon, the crown princess ordered someone to go to Rongjiayuan to find a cold girl to play chess, but it turned out to be empty, and at the same time, the people in the house reported that they ...... Prince Xiao didn't know where he went, and he disappeared early in the morning.

The crown princess didn't care much about it at first, but when the seventh brother and Miss Leng made an appointment to go on a trip, she didn't ask anyone to find the seventh brother and Miss Leng. But it wasn't until late in the evening that it was time for dinner, and the seventh brother and Miss Leng had not returned to the prince's mansion, and the princess began to be anxious.

Prince Tangxiao disappeared in the prince's mansion, this matter can be big or small, the princess was anxious, so she didn't think to ask the groom in the palace, and the eldest brother was in the palace at that time and had not yet left the palace, and the princess didn't know where to find the seventh brother and Miss Leng, so she could only send someone into the palace to report......

After the eldest brother left the palace, he sent people to several places where the seventh brother often went to look for people, but until nightfall was unsuccessful. If it weren't for the chauffeur in the house who rushed back to the house in time to report that Prince Xiao and Miss Leng went to the Reclining Buddha Temple outside the city to make incense before dawn, but they were trapped in the mountains by the shower, I am afraid that the eldest brother will use Jin Wuwei to search for people all over the city!

Seventh brother, you said that you and Miss Leng went to the Reclining Buddha Temple to make incense, why don't you know how to report to the crown princess? It's good to leave a message for the people in the house to pass it on. Seventh brother, can you know how serious it is for a prince to disappear for a day and a night? Could it be that the seventh brother has just been crowned king, and he has not yet realized what he should have as a prince?

Every time Liang Shengde said a word, Liang Shengxiao's head drooped down a point, like a child who knew he had done something wrong. And when Liang Shengde finally finished speaking, Liang Shengxiao's head was lowered to the dust.

So, when he heard a clear and modest voice with deep self-reproach, he spit out from the mouth of Liang Shengxiao, who bowed his head deeply: "Please also ask the eldest brother to calm his anger, this matter is indeed the negligence of the seventh brother, and the seventh brother knows that he is wrong......"

Liang Shengde, who was sitting on the carriage, looked down at Liang Shengxiao, who was standing under the carriage and bowed his head to him to admit his mistake, and after being silent for a moment, Liang Shengde sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "That's it, it's good that people are safe and sound." After a pause, I heard Liang Shengde say softly: "Get in the car and go back." ā€

Before the words fell, Liang Shengde, who was sitting on the wheel, took the lead in lifting the curtain and entering the carriage behind him. Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing, who were standing under the carriage, saw this, and immediately boarded the carriage and got into the carriage.

Outside the carriage, when Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing were both seated in the carriage, the coachman who had been standing next to the carriage also sat on the wheel, waved the whip in his hand, and drove in the direction of Xuanping City.

In the wide canopy carriage, a white gauze lantern hung on the roof of the carriage, and the lantern was lit, although it was like a bean, but it also provided bright light for the dimly lit carriage. And as the carriage moved forward, the white gauze lantern swayed slightly, and even the light swayed back and forth.

There were three benches in the carriage, Liang Shengde sat upright on the front of the car wall facing the door, and Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing sat on one side of each side.

When Liang Shengde and Liang Shengxiao were talking before, Leng Qing realized that the two brothers were talking, and she was not an outsider to interject, so she stood silently and did not make a sound. After entering the carriage at this moment, Leng Qing asked Liang Shengde with careful words: "Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bring an escort when he traveled today?"

On that side, Liang Shengde, who was sitting in the right seat under the wall of the car facing the door, did not directly answer Leng Qing's question, but smiled and asked, "What does Miss Leng think?"

was asked by Liang Shengde, Leng Qing groaned slightly, and replied in a deep voice: "The prince is the prince of the country, and the prince's business is the country's business." If anything happens to the prince, it will be the national body that will be shaken, so it should be brought. ā€

"That's true. The four words with a slight smile slowly spit out from Liang Shengde's mouth. The voice changed for a moment, but Liang Shengde added with a smile: "Today's trip, Zhong Qing brought three hundred gold guards. However, Zhong Qing didn't want to make too much noise, so he only let the three hundred Jin Wuwei follow the carriage of the Prince's Mansion from a distance. ā€

As soon as Liang Shengde said this, Leng Qing's face showed an expression of "I see".

Although this is a suburb of Kyoto, it is inaccessible, but in any case, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and basically the wicked people with a little brain will not be stupid enough to run to the feet of the world to commit crimes! This can be seen from the fact that Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing went out for a day the day before yesterday and did not encounter any accidents.

What's more, Liang Shengde is the prince of the Great Liang Kingdom, and when the dignified prince travels, Liang Shengde just doesn't bring an escort, and outsiders just see the emblem of the prince's mansion embedded in the carriage body, but I'm afraid that no one dares to mess around.

However, Liang Shengde was still rational in the end, although he didn't let the three hundred Jin Wuwei follow him closely, but in the end he still brought three hundred Jin Wuwei, and he was not really willful enough to go out of Beijing alone.

"Seventh brother. Just as Leng Qingwu was thinking about it, Liang Shengde suddenly looked at Liang Shengxiao, who was sitting under the car wall on his left, and called out softly.

Liang Shengxiao, who was sitting quietly, heard the voice, immediately turned his eyes to look at Liang Shengde, and responded in a humble tone: "Big brother." ā€

On that side, I saw Liang Shengde pursing his lips and smiling at Liang Shengxiao, and said to Liang Shengxiao in a warm voice: "The day before yesterday, my father decreed that you should be named 'Prince Xiao', but the matter of the fief is temporarily unresolved, and because you have been absent from Beijing for a long time, there is not even a mansion. However, after all, it is a happy event to be crowned king, and what should be celebrated should be celebrated. Originally, the crown princess planned to hold a banquet in the vestibule of the prince's mansion at noon today, inviting her brothers and sisters in Beijing to celebrate the seventh brother, but the result was ......"

"It's all the seventh brother's, it's a waste of the princess's kindness. When Liang Shengde's voice paused, Liang Shengxiao immediately said this with a ashamed face.

On that side, Liang Shengde shook his head slowly when he heard this, and still said softly: "It's okay, this is not the original intention of the seventh brother." The voice changed for a moment, but Liang Shengde smiled and said: "After the princess and the eldest brother discussed, it was decided to postpone the time of the banquet until noon tomorrow, and go back to the house tonight. ā€

What replied to Liang Shengde was Liang Shengxiao's sincere thanks with a smile in his eyebrows: "In this way, after returning home, I will ask the eldest brother to thank the princess for her kindness on behalf of the seventh brother." ā€

Liang Shengde slowly shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "No need to say thank you." Leaving aside the identity of the crown princess, Zitan is only the sister-in-law of the seventh brother, and the plan of being the sister-in-law is also the plan of being the younger brother. ā€

There was laughter and laughter all the way in the wide canopy carriage, and Leng Qing, who was sitting under the wall on the right side of the carriage, had been quietly watching Liang Shengde and Liang Shengxiao talk with a smile until the carriage swayed back to the prince's mansion, and Leng Qing did not say anything to interrupt Liang Shengde and Liang Shengxiao.
