Empress Dowager Xiao and her entourage lived in the Iron Threshold Temple, and the time had passed. Great literature

Empress Dowager Xiao and Empress Xiao, as well as Zi Yan lived together, while the emperor lived with the crown prince, while Murong Yichuan lived with Xiao Suen and Xiao Suyuan, and the others were divided into one according to a certain rank.

The night was quieter, but King Ran Fu had no sleep, and the busyness of the past few days made him feel a feeling of overdraft.

"Prime Minister Xiao, Lord Xiao, can you accompany this king out for a walk?" King Fu got up and said to the brothers of the Xiao family who were sitting opposite him.

The two of them also hurriedly got up; "Obey orders for your ministers." The two spoke in unison.

King Fu walked forward, and the brothers of the Xiao family followed, so the three of them walked out of the room one after the other, the temple was full of silence, pitch black, a little starlight in the sky still could not block the darkness of the night, occasionally a breeze passed, the branches in the courtyard swayed slightly, making a slight sound.

King Fu had been walking in front, and the brothers of the Xiao family were just silently following behind, and they came directly to the front hall, and suddenly encountered the guards guarding them; They immediately scolded; "Who?"

King Fu said coldly; "Dog minion, don't you even recognize the two adults of this king and the Xiao family?" When several guards heard that it was King Fu, they hurriedly threw themselves on their knees and fell to the ground; "Slaves know their sins, and minions know their sins. Great Literature"

King Fu bypassed them; "That's it, this king has no intention of sleeping and going out for a walk with Lord Xiao, don't make a noise, you know?" There was silence in these places, and although King Fu's voice was very low and low, it was so clear and deep that several guards said one after another; "The minions obey."

King Fu snatched a torch from the guard's hand, and then led the Xiao family brothers straight to the outside of the temple.

This iron sill temple is specifically responsible for the royal vigil and the temple of excess, but also responsible for picking up the royal people who came to worship the ancestors, so the scale of the area is very considerable, the temple is surrounded by a large woods, not far away is the mountains and emeralds, and this temple is low and high, so it is particularly antique and antique between the pines and cypresses, and the time is long. Great literature

King Fu took the torch and went directly to the mountains not far away, and the brothers of the Xiao family did not dare to squeak, so they had to continue to follow.

King Fu came halfway up the mountain, and then stopped, and looked through the torch, only to see that there were several large bluestones on the side of the road, and the bluestones were all under an ancient tree, and he dropped the torch on the bluestone; "Let's rest here."

"Yes." The two of them also hurriedly followed King Fu to the tree on the side of the road, and then each sat on a piece of bluestone, and the three of them just formed a triangle.

As soon as the three of them sat down, they suddenly heard footsteps from the woods not far away, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer to them, and the sound was particularly clear in the dark night.

The brothers of the Xiao family are all civil servants, and most literati are timid, so they feel that their sweat pores are prickly, and their faces are suddenly a little pale; "Chitose, listen." Although Prime Minister Xiao was panicked in his heart, his tone was quite calm.

King Fu naturally also heard the footsteps, he had also practiced martial arts, and his courage was naturally not as small as that of the Xiao family brothers, his hand pulled out the sword at his waist, and then held the sword in one hand and the torch in the other, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the footsteps, only to see a white-haired man appear in the firelight, that person was dressed in gray cloth and rags, with patches on it, and his hair was as white as snow, and it was unkempt like dry grass blown by the wind in winter, his face was like the bottom of a pot, and his rough hand was holding a broken dust, and a broken book, It looks extremely depressed. Although the man looked very old, the sound of his walk and the posture of watching him walk were very different from his age.

"Who are you?" King Fu sat there as steady as Mount Tai, the sword in his hand pointed directly at the person who came, and asked in a slightly cold tone.

I saw that the man was going to turn yellow, and the dust in his hand was broken; "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor road is a person passing by." Although the man looked old, he was as loud as a young man, but the man was not frightened by the point of his sword, but did not look unhurried.

"Why don't you stay at home in the middle of the night, what are you doing when you come out?" King Fu felt that this was a strange person, but he couldn't help but ask more, and his voice was not as indifferent as before.

The man laughed, and the laughter echoed through the valley; "The poor road has no home, and although a few people have a home, they are not yet returning, but they are wandering in this wilderness like the poor road in the middle of the night, and the poor road looks at a few noble identities, it is definitely not idle." The old Taoist said very casually, but his eyes did not fall on the three people at all.

Murong Yichuan had a sense that the person coming was not an ordinary passer-by savage, and he slowly withdrew his sword.

"What do you do? How do you know that we are not waiting for leisure? Xiao Suen didn't have the fear just now at this time, but wanted to talk to this old man a few more words, so he didn't wait for King Fu to speak, he took the conversation first.

The old man slowly approached the three people, and sat directly in the middle of the road, his two thighs split, and his hands on his legs, looking extremely indecent.

It was the first time that King Fu had seen someone so informal, if it was indecent, he just wanted to get angry, but Xiao Suen gently pulled his sleeve, and King Fu had to suppress his anger.
