CHAPTER XXVII

According to Leng Qing's instructions, Lu Xueyue carefully wrapped the clothes they brought up the mountain into two sky-blue swaddling clothes, and carefully sorted out the shape of the newborn baby. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After the two swaddling clothes were taken care of, Lu Xueyue held a swaddling baby in one hand and walked out of the meditation room with a bean candle flame......

"Girl, it's all wrapped, do you think there is a baby in this swaddling clothes?" walked to Leng Qing standing in the Zen courtyard in the bright moonlight, and sent the two sky-blue swaddling clothes held in both hands to Leng Qing, Lu Xueyue asked.

Leng Qing lowered her head when she heard this, and saw that the two swaddling clothes held in Lu Xueyue's hands were wrapped very carefully, if the swaddling clothes were not uncovered, from the appearance alone, it would not be obvious that the swaddling clothes were actually wrapped inside......

Seeing this, Leng Qing nodded with a smile and said, "Like! After I go back this time, I will ask Zhu Zimo to give you a promotion and a raise. With that, Leng Qing reached out and took one of the swaddling clothes from Lu Xueyue's arms and held it carefully in her arms, her careful posture was as if she was really holding a little baby in her arms.

However, in response to Leng Qing's smile, Lu Xueyue responded with some hesitation: "Uh...... Girl...... The slave and maid are already serving by the side of the master, and there is no way to rise to the ......"

Leng Qing, who was holding the "baby" in her arms, still had a smile on her face, and even her voice had a faint smile: "Zhu Zimo told me before that Steward Liu is also old, and he wants Steward Liu to return to his hometown and retire for the rest of his life, and let Lin Zhiwu be the steward." When Lin Zhiwu's position is withdrawn, I will tell Zhu Zimo and ask him to mention you as the deputy steward of the mansion?"

Hearing this, Lu Xueyue, who was also holding a "baby" in her arms, immediately shook her head like a rattle: "The slave can't do it......"

"That's it, after I go back this time, I will ask Zhu Zimo to arrange for Steward Liu to retire and bring you up. Without waiting for Lu Xueyue to finish speaking, Leng Qing interrupted Lu Xueyue's words with a smile.

After saying this, Leng Qingfu, who was holding the "baby" in his arms, looked up at the bright moon hanging in the dark night, and said silently in his heart: The premise is ...... If they can go back safely this time......

"Zhaoyi Niangniang!" Just when Leng Qing was silent in her heart, Fang Linyang's voice suddenly sounded in the direction of the courtyard gate.

Standing in the Zen courtyard, Leng Qing, Lu Xueyue, and Long Qing, who were bathed in the bright moonlight, turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw Fang Lin Yang, who had a straight back, an expressionless face, a sword soldier in hand, and was wearing armor, striding towards them.

It wasn't until Fang Linyang walked in front of them and stood still, and respectfully clasped his fists and saluted Leng Qing that Leng Qing opened his mouth and asked, "Everyone has arrived?"

Hearing Leng Qing's question, Fang Lin Yang Fu, who had just stood up straight, threw his fist at Leng Qing again, and replied respectfully in his mouth: "Back to Zhaoyi Niangniang's words, except for the guards and the Imperial Forest Army who went to the front of the temple to defend against the Liukou, the rest of the people, including their subordinates and a group of palace maids on this trip, a total of one hundred and nineteen people have been assembled. However, there were a large number of palace maids, and they were afraid that it would be inconvenient to travel with Zhaoyi Niangniang, so their subordinates took the initiative and arranged for twenty palace guards to escort the palace maids to evacuate first. There are still 60 guards and royal guards waiting outside the Zhaoyi Niangniang Courtyard, fully armed to escort Zhaoyi Niangniang, the little princess, and the little royal highness to evacuate here. ”

“…… What about the crown princess?" Fang Lin Yang was speechless, and Leng Qing was silent for two seconds before asking.

Fang Lin Yang, who still maintained the posture of bowing and saluting, heard this, and immediately opened his mouth and replied: "If you go back to Zhaoyi Niangniang, you can't ...... because the mountain road is difficult to travel at night So...... Crown Princess...... Still in the Zen Temple...... Because of this, Aunt Qinghe was unwilling to evacuate with everyone, and forced her subordinates to stay with the princess to death......"

Hearing this, Leng Qing was silent for a long time before she sighed in a low voice: "That's it, let her go......"

Because he couldn't send Qinghe away, Fang Linyang has always felt a little blamed in his heart, and now hearing Leng Qing's words, Fang Linyang naturally immediately responded: "Yes, Zhaoyi Niangniang." ”

"You just said that there are still sixty people left?" Looking at Fang Linyang, who was standing in front of her, maintaining a bowing posture, Leng Qing asked thoughtfully.

Fang Linyang didn't think about the thoughtfulness in Leng Qing's words, only after Leng Qing's words, without the slightest hesitation, he simply replied neatly: "Yes." ”

After receiving Fang Linyang's affirmative answer, Leng Qing pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Among the remaining sixty people, divide forty people, let them evacuate in the direction of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda immediately, and join the people who evacuated in advance as soon as possible." The remaining twenty people followed the main palace. After a pause, Leng Qing added in a deep voice: "You also follow this palace." ”

Clinker, as soon as Leng Qing finished speaking, he was strongly opposed by Fang Linyang: "Zhaoyi Niangniang can't do it! There are not many people on this trip, and the subordinates have already divided twenty people, and now Niangniang has divided forty people...... Only twenty people are not enough to protect Zhaoyi Niangniang, the little princess, and the little highness!"

Opposed by Fang Linyang, Leng Qing directly frowned and threw a sentence at Fang Linyang: "Fang Linyang, this is an order!"

It is not difficult to see that Leng Qing's attitude is insistent, however, Fang Linyang, who still maintains the posture of bowing and saluting, is also stubborn: "Even if it is Zhaoyi Niangniang's order...... But for the sake of Zhaoyi Niangniang, the little princess, and the comfort of the little highness, the subordinates did not dare to obey!"

Although Fang Linyang's voice was calm, it was not difficult to hear the resoluteness of Fang Linyang's attitude.

At this time, Leng Qing didn't waste words with Fang Linyang anymore, but Huo Ran turned his head sideways, and called out to Long Qing, who was standing silently all along, almost blending in with the surrounding night because he was wearing a tight black suit: "Long Qing!"

Leng Qing just called his name in a low voice, and Long Qing had already understood Leng Qing's meaning in an instant-

I saw Long Qing reach into his arms and take out a golden hexagonal gold medal from his arms......

While holding the gold medal high, Wen Longqing said clearly in his lukewarm and clear male voice: "Today's Shengshang's 'Dragon Card' is here, and seeing this card is like seeing Shengshang." ”

In the Great Liang Kingdom, as long as they are working in the court, whether it is an official or a guard, almost everyone knows that after the emperors of the Great Liang Kingdom officially ascended the throne, there was a hexagonal gold medal made by the Ministry of Rites of the Great Liang and cast in pure gold. The front of the gold medal is cast with a flying golden dragon stepping on auspicious clouds, and the reverse side is cast with the name and character of the emperor of the current dynasty, as well as the year, month, day and hour of the gold medal casting. And this gold medal is called the "Dragon Brand......

Then, when Fang Linyang listened to Long Qing's words, Fang Linyang didn't even hesitate at all, and directly knelt on his knees towards the gold medal held high in Long Qing's hand, and bowed to the ground while shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The reason why Fang Linyang knelt so neatly and decisively was entirely because of ...... Liang Ruming gave Leng Qing the "Xuanguang" sword that was handed down by the founding ancestors of the Great Liang and made of the purest Xuaniron, and later equipped with swords for the emperors of the Great Liang Dynasty...... What's so strange about giving Leng Qing another "dragon card"!!

It was precisely because of the experience of the "Xuanguang" sword that Fang Linyang did not doubt the authenticity of the "Dragon Card" in Long Qing's hand at all...... Not to mention......

What if that "dragon card" is fake? Leng Qing already has the "Xuanguang" sword in his hand, but Leng Qing didn't bring the "Xuanguang" sword up the mountain on this trip......

The people next to him may not know, but Fang Linyang knows that the "Xuanguang" sword is not only the sword of the emperors of the Great Liang Kingdom, but also the holy relic of the Great Liang Kingdom's "beating the stunned monarch and punishing the ministers"!

Now Liang Ruming gave Leng Qing the "Xuanguang" sword, which is equivalent to letting Leng Qing hold the special right of their Great Liang State to "defeat the king from the top and punish the ministers......

It's just that, because since the founding of the Great Liang Kingdom, almost all the emperors of the previous dynasties have been virtuous emperors who have worked hard and are pro-virtuous, and the "Xuanguang" sword has never been given to their courtiers by the emperors of the Great Liang dynasties...... Leng Qing is still the first person to be given the "Xuanguang" sword by the current saint since the founding of the Great Liang Kingdom......

In short, because the "Xuanguang" sword has been used as a "sword for the emperors of the Great Liang Dynasty" in the past two hundred years, the special right of the "Xuanguang" sword to "beat the king from the top and punish the ministers from below" has long been forgotten by the courtiers of the Great Liang State......

However, even if the special right of the "Xuanguang" sword has been forgotten by the world, this special right has always existed and cannot be canceled, because this is the rule set by the founding ancestor of the Great Liang when he was dying!!

Of course, Fang Linyang can disobey Leng Qing's order now, and he can treat the "Dragon Card" in Long Qing's hand as nothing, but after going down the mountain, if Leng Qing pulls out the "Xuanguang" sword at him because of his grudge...... Hehe...... Fang Linyang said that life is so good, and he doesn't want to die so soon......

Okay, let's talk about it -

After Fang Linyang knelt on the ground and shouted, Long Qing, who held high the "dragon card", read word by word: "Spread the holy oracle - if anyone on this trip dares to disobey Zhaoyi Niangniang, on the spot - kill and decide!"

"Fang Linyang, death or life, you choose one. Before Long Qing's words fell, Leng Qing, who was holding the "baby" in his arms, said this sentence to Fang Linyang, who was kneeling on the ground.

There was almost no hesitation, and Fang Linyang, who was kneeling on the ground, simply responded neatly: "Subordinates obey orders!"

After Leng Qing said "Let's get up" lukewarmly, Fang Lin Yang stood up respectfully, then bowed down and retreated to the gate of the Zen Academy, and instructed the guards and the Imperial Forest Army of the Prince's Mansion who were standing in a neat line outside the Zen Courtyard: "On the order of Zhaoyi Niangniang, the Imperial Forest Army will leave nineteen people, and the rest of the people...... Evacuate quickly in the direction of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda!!"

As a result, after a period of chaos, including Fang Linyang, the original sixty prince's palace guards and the Imperial Forest Army were left with only Fang Linyang and nineteen Imperial Forest Army......

After everything had settled, those who should have left had gone, and those who should have stayed were ready to go, Leng Qing, who was holding the "baby" in her arms, walked out of the Zen courtyard with Long Qing and Lu Xueyue, who was also holding the "baby".

His eyes swept over the faces of the remaining nineteen Imperial Forest Soldiers and Fang Lin Yang one by one, but Leng Qing, who was holding the "baby" in his arms, said to everyone in such a loud voice: "You must all have doubts in your hearts, but it is inconvenient for this palace to explain too much to you. This palace can only tell you that this move is really for the safety of the little princess and her little highness. Now, please evacuate with the main shrine towards the north of Wat Pho. ”

"Yes! Obey Zhaoyi Niangniang's orders!" What responded to Leng Qing was the unison of the nineteen Imperial Forest Soldiers and Fang Lin Yang.

So, led by Long Qing, Fang Linyang guarded Leng Qing and Lu Xueyue, who were holding the "baby" in their arms, and after the nineteen royal forest soldiers, a group of twenty-three people left the Reclining Buddha Temple by climbing over the wall as quickly as possible......

Stepping on the bits and pieces of cold and bright moonlight, everyone walked silently, one foot deep and one foot shallow, among the steep woods. Looking around, it is all black as far as the eye can see, and occasionally there is a shadow where you can see it faintly.

Although everyone knew that those shadows were the shadows of the trees in the forest, but looking through the darkness, those trees hidden in the darkness were like ghosts with teeth and claws, and they were still very terrifying and terrifying!

It's okay for the others to arrive, after all, everyone is the Royal Forest Army serving in front of the emperor, and Fang Linyang is one of the chief guards in the prince's mansion, although everyone feels that the current environment is very terrible, but for the sake of their own face, no one will show it on the bright side. But Lu Xueyue is different, she is a girl after all, and she is not very old, so she is naturally afraid.

From the beginning of leaving the Reclining Buddha Temple, Lu Xueyue, who was holding the "baby" in her arms, followed closely behind Leng Qing, who was also holding the "baby", and her black and white eyes were always staring at the surrounding environment, lest something strange and inexplicable suddenly burst out of the surrounding forest to attack her.

Compared with Lu Xueyue, who was as timid as a mouse and extremely vigilant, Leng Qing, who was the only second woman among the twenty-three people on this trip, seemed calm...... No...... Much more open......

After all, it is a person who has had a similar experience, and Leng Qing really doesn't care about the current environment.

What's more, as early as the day he arrived at the Reclining Buddha Temple, Leng Qing asked Long Qing to check the environmental conditions and safety conditions within a radius of a hundred miles near the Reclining Buddha Temple. Later, Leng Qing got a reply that there were no fierce beasts within a radius of a hundred miles near the Reclining Buddha Temple, only some pheasants, hares, and the like...... Game ......

At that time, Leng Qing asked Long Qing to check the environmental conditions and safety conditions within a radius of 100 miles near the Reclining Buddha Temple, completely to prevent Cheng Yiying from being startled by the wild beasts in the mountains during his temporary stay in the Reclining Buddha Temple.

It was also during that inspection that Long Qing discovered a secret hidden in the cliff north of the Reclining Buddha Temple......

At that time, even Leng Qing herself never imagined that her whimsical precautions would be ...... tonight plays such a big role......
