The expression gradually changed from disbelief to pain, and finally only ferocious.

He gritted his teeth and leaned over to pick up the sword in his hand and clenched it hard.

Turning his head to look at Mu Mingyue, he instantly suppressed all kinds of complex emotions, his face was cold and murderous, "I don't even ...... her" He closed his eyes, and the words he spit out were even colder, "Kill them all." ”

What if the old lady loves him, now that he has become his mother-killing enemy, no amount of love can offset the hatred.

"Silly brother, you are happy to kill people with a sword directly and recklessly, but what is the result?" Mu Mingyue took the opportunity to stand up, but she was still worried that he would be impulsive, so she directly blocked him with her body.

looked at him face-to-face, and persuaded bitterly, "Because of those two murderers, is it worth it to pay for your own lives?" ”

Mu Yun pointed his sword at the ground, his gaze slanted at her, and said coldly, "One to two, it's worth it!" ”

Mu Mingyue choked, speechless, and almost maddened by his anger.

But she knew that this younger brother was impulsive and impatient, so she could only take a deep breath and try to persuade slowly, "But brother, now that my aunt is gone, I will only have you as one relative left in this world." ”

She blinked her eyelashes, and the little flowing crystal hung on her eyelashes, and she was extremely weak and pitiful.

Even Mu Yunqi, who was as cold as iron, saw her like this, and his heart softened, "Then what do you want?" ”

He frowned in confusion, "Let them go?" Don't avenge your aunt? ”

Mu Mingyue shook her head with tears, covered her small mouth and suppressed the cry in her mouth, "The hatred of killing my mother is not shared, how can I let them go." ”

Mu Yunqi looked at her soft and pitiful posture, and his heart moved, "Then what will happen to you?" ”

Mu Mingyue listened to his tone and knew that he was completely inclined to trust her, so she couldn't help but smile proudly in her heart, but her face was still extremely sad, "We will consider this matter in the long run...... ”

Another month passed in a hurry, and after a month of recuperation, Zhao Ziyue's body finally improved a lot.

On this day, Mu Xiaofeng accompanied Zhao Ziyue to Chongyuan Temple to worship the Buddha, just because Zhao Ziyue received a letter from Mu Shaoxuan, the eldest young master of Mufu, a few days ago, saying that he was preparing to participate in the examination.

And Zhao Ziyue heard that Chongyuan Temple is very effective for studying and scientific examinations, so she is ready to go to incense to pray for her son in person.

Mu Xiaofeng never believed in praying to God and worshiping Buddha. She relived her life, and felt that it was better to rely on her own hands than to entrust things to others, especially such ethereal things as gods and Buddhas.

However, she also understood that this was Zhao's mother's heart, and felt that with Zhao's current physical condition, it would not be bad to go out and take a walk, so she was unwilling to go against Zhao's wishes and follow her.

Mu Xiaofeng took Qingruo and Leng Yue, leaving the steady and brainy Red Shadow to guard at home, while the Zhao family brought Yan Gui.

After breakfast, the group took a carriage and set off for Chongyuan Temple.

There are many temples in Southern Chu, but most of them are built in the mountains and forests on the outskirts.

Chongyuan Temple was about sixty or seventy miles away from Beijing, and according to the speed of the carriage, after they left the city, they had to continue walking for almost two hours.

It will take a whole day to come and go, since Mu Xiaofeng accompanied Zhao Ziyue out to relax, he was naturally not in a hurry to rush back on the same day, and decided to stay in Chongyuan Temple for two nights before leaving the house and then go back.

Walking leisurely and slowly all the way, looking at the lush scenery outside, it is also a bit of fun.

When I arrived at Chongyuan Temple, after eating fasting, I stayed in the wing.

After a long journey on the road, Zhao Ziyue was weak after all, and she quickly fell asleep at night. This time is not a major festival, and the incense of Chongyuan Temple is not particularly vigorous, so there are not many pilgrims.

It is also because of this that Mu Xiaofeng and Zhao Ziyue can live in a side room, and the two rooms are still connected.

In this ancient temple of the mountain, even Mu Xiaofeng felt that even the soul of a mortal person like her had been purified.

Listening to the insects and birds chirping outside the window, she gradually fell asleep.

However, a sudden panic shouted that woke Mu Xiaofeng from his sleep.

She sat on the bed frowning and pricked up her ears to listen, only to hear someone shouting outside, "Oh no, no, there are rogues who have come up the mountain to rob money, everyone get up quickly." ”

As soon as she sat up, Qingruo, who was sleeping on the low couch next to her, also opened her eyes in a daze.

"Qingruo, light the lamp." Mu Xiaofeng groped her way out of bed, looked out of the door, and saw a slender line and a cold figure standing upright by the door, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said to the figure, "Leng Yue, you go to the next room to guard my mother first." ”

The two rooms are separated by no more than a wall, even if there is really a short-sighted rogue who breaks in, he will have time to help, Leng Yue thought for a while, then nodded, "Yes, the slave will go over, miss, be careful." ”

In the middle of the night, there were rogues who went up the mountain to rob money, and such a fatal event naturally alarmed the whole temple in a while.

The monks quickly organized themselves to chase after the Liukou, and a part of them came to the wing room to protect the pilgrims.

It's just that those rogues seem to be very cunning, and they are also very familiar with the terrain in the area of Chongyuan Temple, and they actually take advantage of the night to take those pursuing monks to keep going around in circles.

Naturally, it was not their purpose to go around in circles, but to go up the mountain for money.

Therefore, the monks seem to be chasing after the Liukou, but in fact, they are exhausted by the Liukou, and when the monks are dizzy, some of the Liukou have quietly entered the treasury of Chongyuan Temple.

Of course, Chongyuan Temple is the place of Buddhism, there will be no rich and noble people treasure any pearl treasure and the like, the treasury is heavy, in addition to the collection of calligraphy and painting is the usual pilgrims donated rice grain money silver.

Those rogues picked up light silver tickets, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and took them away, but in the end, they didn't think the oil and water were abundant, so they made a gesture of leaving, and then quietly turned back to remember the carbines.

When everyone began to let go of their vigilance and slacken, they raided some of the wings of the front hall, injured the pilgrims and directly robbed the pilgrims' property, and then left recklessly.

This commotion really made everyone panic at night.

Although the rogue later injured people and robbed them of their wealth and left the mountain, no one knows if they will come back.

"Xiaoxiao," in the wing room, Zhao Ziyue looked worriedly at the girl with lowered eyes, her eyes slightly revealing self-blame and nervousness, "You all blame me, you really shouldn't come to this Chongyuan Temple to offer incense." ”

Mu Xiaofeng looked at her with a wry smile, "Mother, how can you be blamed for this kind of thing, if you want to blame, we can only blame our bad luck." ”

If you go out and have incense, you can also meet a rogue, this kind of thing - to blame herself, she thinks it's better to blame God for dozing off and forgetting her long eyes.

Zhao Ziyue sighed, "You're right, this place is not more than a hundred miles away from the capital, how can there be rogues who dare to blatantly come to the door to rob money?" ”

Regarding this, Mu Xiaofeng was also very confused, "Maybe what they fancy is a temple like Chongyuan Temple where the incense is not very prosperous and is deep in the mountains." ”

If something happens, even if someone goes to report to the official, the government will not be able to rush to it; And in this kind of deep mountains, even if an official arrives, it is difficult to catch those rogues who are familiar with the terrain.

The so-called rogues are a group of outlaws who change places with one shot, and when encountering this kind of person, Mu Xiaofeng can only sigh helplessly: People are unlucky, and they really drink cold water and stuff their teeth.

Mu Xiaofeng looked up at the still dark sky outside the window, looked at Zhao Ziyue with concern and concern, and persuaded, "Mother, it's still early, why don't you sleep for a while, your body will not be able to stand it like this." ”

Zhao Ziyue looked at her and shook her head with a wry smile, the nervousness on her face still hadn't faded, "Xiaoxiao, I'm messing around in my heart, where can I sleep, why don't you talk to me here." ”

Mu Xiaofeng saw that her face was pale and her eyes were panicked, afraid that what had just happened still made her frightened.

After thinking about it, he said softly, "Well, it's been a long time since I've been talking to my mother in the same bed." ”

With that, she winked mischievously, took off her shoes and got into the bed.

Of course, in order to divert Zhao Ziyue's attention and let Zhao relax as soon as possible, she also deliberately arched her head and rubbed Zhao's shoulder, and then closed her eyes and showed a satisfied smile, "Well, my mother personally tastes fragrant, and the fragrance is intoxicating, I don't want to get up when I lie down." ”

Zhao Ziyue saw her delicate appearance, and also laughed lightly, "Then dare to be kind, you can lie down and talk with me like this." ”

So, the two mothers and daughters covered a quilt and slept on the same bed together, closed their eyes and whispered a sentence of nonsense and chatted slowly.

It wasn't until more than an hour later, when the sky outside had already brightened, that Zhao Ziyue finally couldn't resist the fight and fell asleep in fatigue.

Mu Xiaofeng saw that she was completely asleep, so he tiptoed out of bed, quietly walked out of the wing room and closed the door, and then walked to the wing room where he lived.

But she tossed and turned in bed for a long time and didn't feel the slightest sleep, so she simply got out of bed and called Qingruo to fetch water for her to wash.

She knew that if she went home today because of the incident last night, her mother would definitely feel regretful. It was not easy for them to come out this time, and their mother's heart had not arrived, so even if they went back, they would inevitably feel uneasy.

Even if she doesn't have her mother's devout heart to worship Buddha, she can pray for her brother's blessing is the same.

After breakfast, she looked at Leng Yue and said lightly, "Leng Yue, you stay here to guard your mother, and I will take Qingruo out to make incense." ”

Leng Yue glanced at the closed door next door and hesitated, "Miss, isn't this okay?" ”

Mu Xiaofeng's face was slightly cold, and her face was still faint and she couldn't see anything unusual, but her eyes looking at Leng Yue revealed unquestionable persistence, "That's it." ”

Leng Yue opened her mouth, and when she saw that the girl had turned her head away, leaving a black head facing her, she was speechless.

She remembered that Miss had said that as a young lady, the most important thing to remember was to be obedient.

Liukou came last night, and now in broad daylight, the monks in the temple have strengthened their vigilance, and the young lady is only incense in the hall, so there should be no danger.

Leng Yue looked at the closed door next door, looked up at the figure who had turned out of the corridor, and could only comfort herself in her heart.

"Did you hear that? There seems to be a rogue hidden in the main hall in front of you, and it seems that someone was injured just now. ”

"It's really evil, these thieves dare to do this kind of hurtful and robbing of money in the holy land of Buddhism, and they are not afraid of being blamed by the Buddha and thundered by the sky."

"It's just ......"

"Hey, I heard that a girl seems to have been unlucky enough to bump into the thief and was injured......

"Really, really? Hey, I don't dare to stay in this place any longer, so hurry up and pack up and go home. ”

"I'm going to go back early, it's too unsafe here......"

Zhao Ziyue was in a haze, and she was woken up by such an unsuppressed discussion of you and me.

Although the area of Chongyuan Temple is large, it is different from the architectural style of other temples, there is no separate courtyard built here for the rich and noble people in the capital to live, some are just connected to a row of side rooms, so outside a corridor, what big movement next door can be heard.

Zhao Ziyue rubbed her eyes, propped up the bed and sat up slowly.

Yan Gui heard the movement and immediately turned in from the end of the screen, "Madam, are you awake?" Are you hungry? ”

Zhao Ziyue stepped out of the bed and asked while putting on her shoes, "Where is the eldest lady?" Is she still asleep in the next room? ”

Yan Gui waited for her to get dressed, and then said, "After the eldest lady has breakfast, she will take Qingruo to the main hall to offer incense." She paused and glanced at the slender and straight figure outside the door, "But the eldest lady left Leng Yue here to guard Madame." ”

Zhao Ziyue was not resting well, and her spirit was obviously very poor, and when she heard Yan Gui say this, she didn't take it to heart.

After that, I washed up, and after I started eating, I had something to eat, and my spirit was a little better.

As soon as this spirit was good, Zhao Ziyue suddenly remembered what she had heard when she was woken up in her sleep.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was not good, her heart jumped up in a panic, she thought for a while, and hurriedly beckoned Leng Yue to come closer, "Leng Yue, you hurry up to the side of the eldest lady of the main hall." ”

After the order, she couldn't help but pray secretly in her heart: Don't have a rogue ...... somewhere.

"No, you hurry up to find out the news, see if the eldest lady is injured, and if there is nothing to do, let her come back quickly." Zhao Ziyue pondered, this incense is still forgotten, the intention to pray for her son is important, but no matter how important it is, it is not as important as her daughter's safety at the moment.

In a moment, she had already made up her mind, and as soon as Mu Xiaofeng came back, they immediately packed up their things and went back to the house.

This place is too dangerous for them to stay any longer.

Another day, they will choose another temple closer to Beijing to pray for Shaoxuan.

Leng Yue thought for a moment before saying, "Madame don't have to worry, Miss will be fine, those people just now just speculated about last night's incident, and they can't take it seriously." ”

Why are there still rogues hiding in the temple and going out to injure pilgrims and loot property?

Leng Yue felt that those women were just chasing after the wind and shadows, playing tricks to scare and scare others.

With the shadow of last night, anyone who hears such a discussion will inevitably be uneasy.

Those people were unrestrained, and they didn't care that there were other people in the courtyard room
