I just wanted to take a step and leave, but things were as simple as Jian Ning thought. The guards surrounding Jian Ning didn't move at all, as if they were all fixed there.

"You see, my lord, we also have no intention of offending, can you just let us go?" Jian Ning knew that only if the person who looked like a general spoke up, these guards could let them go.

The general glanced at Jian Ning, Ruan Zijin, Liu Leshan and the others, and suddenly said: "No matter who it is, whoever dares to trespass, will take it!" ”

The moment the words fell, with a slight wave of his hand, all the guards moved in unison, placing the spear or knife in their hands on Jian Ning's neck.

Ruan Zijin watched those knives and spears coming towards him, and subconsciously pulled out the sword in his hand. This time, Jian Ning always paid attention to Ruan Zijin's movements, and finally stopped it in time.

"Zijin can't, they can't be messed with by us!" Jian Ning said softly in Ruan Zijin's ear with a stern face.

"Are you just going to be caught?" Ruan Zijin still put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and said unwillingly, "If it really starts, I may not lose to them." ”

"Now we can't resist whether you want it or not. You can escape alone, but we're still here, and it's not so easy for you to go. Jian Ning said lightly. At this moment, the knife was already on the necks of all of them.

"My lord, since you insist on arresting us, then dare to ask your lordship, what will you do with us?" Although Jian Ning was very scared in her heart by the knife, she couldn't lose the momentum on her face. Even if you want to die, you have to die with dignity.

"Take them down and keep them guarded first." The general glanced at Jian Ning and said to one of the guards next to him with a frown.

In fact, he didn't know exactly how to deal with it. This is a holy place for Buddhism, and it doesn't seem good to dispose of people casually. I am afraid that this quiet place will be defiled. But you can't just let them go, after all, now that the God of Food Race is coming, people from all over the world may come to Yuanchu.

After all, the person he protected this time was extraordinary. Don't go on a business trip, otherwise you won't be able to cut off a hundred heads!

Now they have to be locked up first. How to deal with it can only be decided after he asks for instructions.

On the other side, Jian Ning and the others, who were taken down by the guards, were locked up in a courtyard. Being vigorously pushed into a room, Jian Ning looked around, it seemed that the treatment was not too bad, at least they were not locked up in the firewood room or something.

You must know that in this kind of weather, if you are locked in a firewood room, you may not know what to freeze into at night.

After Ruan Zijin was locked in, he was unconvinced, but looked at Jian Ning and them. Suddenly, I felt a sense of guilt welling up in my heart. Slowly moved to Jian Ning's side, lowered his head and said, "Ning'er, I'm sorry, it seems that I have troubled you again this time."

"Actually, it doesn't count, but now we're living in, aren't we! I just don't know if I can go out along the lì. Liu Leshan said jokingly on the side.

"Yes, Senior Brother is right, we are now living in." Jian Ning also nodded with a smile and said, "Zijin, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." ”

"Well, now let's think about how we're going to spend tonight! It's a little better here than the firewood house though. But there is nothing to keep out the cold, just a quilt, which is not enough for the four of us. Jian Ning glanced at the only quilt on the bed. Said with a little worry.

"I don't care, I have internal strength, I can keep out the cold." Ruan Zijin immediately said when he heard this.

"The quilt is left to Ning'er and Xi'er, the senior brother is a man, so it doesn't matter." Liu Leshan also said with a light smile.

As he was talking, the little novice just now walked in, still holding the three quilts in his hands. After putting the quilt on the bed, he saluted Jian Ning and said, "Several donors, this is what the host instructed the little monk to send to you." The night is cold and dewy. A few donors don't want to catch the cold. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Jian Ning to say anything, he walked out directly. As soon as he went out. The guards guarding the door closed the door tightly again.

"Ning'er. It seems that the host here is a bit compassionate about it. Ruan Zijin glanced at the quilt and said with a smile.

"I'm afraid it's the meaning of the noble guest in their mouths. Otherwise, the host wouldn't have had the courage to send us a quilt, and the guards wouldn't have let this little novice in so easily, so they would have gotten permission. Jian Ning looked at the closed door and said lightly.

"Ning'er, who do you say this distinguished guest is?" Liu Leshan also asked curiously on the side.

"I guess it's royalty!" Jian Ning thought back to the previous things and guessed.

"Someone of the royal family?" Ruan Zijin and Xi'er were taken aback. This Kyoto is still six or seven hundred miles away from here, how can it be here?

"You think, this temple is no ordinary temple. can let them close the temple and not receive the rest of the guests, which shows that this person's identity is not ordinary. And in this world, only the royal family can make the imperial temple do this, and even if this noble guest is in the royal family, I am afraid that his status is not low. ”

"Then what are we going to do, we're not going to die here!" Ruan Zijin was immediately surprised when he heard this.

"I really don't know about that." Jian Ning shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly.

Although he was locked up, it seemed that the treatment was really good, and when it was time for dinner, someone brought food.

After eating a little casually, Jian Ning sat on the only bed here, quietly thinking about how to get out.

Judging from the current situation, it seems unlikely that he will die like this. Otherwise, there would be no such treatment. But it's really impossible to say when she'll go out, if it's locked up for several days, she won't have time to rush to the God of Food, which is also a fatal thing.

"Ning'er, what are you thinking?" Liu Leshan walked over and asked.

"I'm wondering how we can get out." Jian Ning said lightly. He really treats Liu Leshan as a senior brother, or even as an elder brother, and naturally he will not hide anything from him if he has troubles in his heart.

After all, it is more practical for one person to think about it as well as everyone to think about it together, as the saying goes, three stinkers are Zhuge Liang!

"That's not going to be easy. We don't even know who we're talking about, how can we figure it out. Liu Leshan also sighed lowly.

Until late at night, they didn't come up with a feasible solution, because the current situation really couldn't be reckless.

may be really tired, Jian Ning, Ruan Zijin, and Xi'er lay on the only bed and gradually fell asleep.

Liu Leshan, on the other hand, built a simple bed with four benches at the table, wrapped his body tightly with a quilt, and gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Jian Ning and the others were woken up by the sound of the bell outside. After waking up, I realized that this is a temple, and those monks all have morning classes, so it is not strange to get up so early.

But since she woke up, Jian Ning had no intention of sleeping again, after all, she was still trapped here, and she really didn't have any thoughts.

Jian Ning's nose has always been very smart, and suddenly he smelled the fragrance of porridge, and walked two steps towards the door quickly. Sniffed it carefully, looked at Liu Leshan and said, "It seems that this courtyard should be very close to the kitchen of this temple, and I can smell the fragrance of porridge." ”

Liu Leshan's nose was not as good as Jian Ning, and when he heard the words, he also walked towards the door and sniffed it, but he didn't smell anything.

When Ruan Zijin heard Jian Ning's words, he also sniffed and sniffed, but he didn't smell anything, and suddenly said to Jian Ning in discouragement: "Ning'er, are you hungry?" Why didn't we smell it? ”

"Whether we smell it or not is not the key, the point is that I am thinking, they are now locking us up because they are afraid that we have other motives and schemes. If we can prove to them that we are really just passing by, we can get out? Jian Ning's eyes flashed with a fine light.

But how do we prove it? We say they don't believe us. Ruan Zijin said with a dejected face.

"I didn't think of it before, but when I smelled the porridge just now, I immediately thought of a solution. For the sake of safety, I carried with me the letter of proof that I entered Beijing to participate in the God of Food Competition. It is stamped with the seal of the governor of Jingding Prefecture, with it, isn't our identity proved! Jian Ning said and took out the letter from her bosom.

"As long as the identity is proven, it can prove that we are in a hurry to Kyoto, so isn't it normal to pass by this Garan Temple!"

"Ning'er, this method sounds feasible. But this qiē is based on our assumption that the distinguished guest was a member of the royal family. If we guess wrong and hand over this seal again, then we can't participate in the God of Food Competition, right? Liu Leshan truthfully expressed his worries.

This letter is no more important to them, otherwise Jian Ning would not have carried it with him.

"But if we don't give it a try, we won't even be able to get out of here, so how can we participate in the God of Food Competition?" Jian Ning also asked rhetorically.

"Now we still have time, let's think about whether there is any other way, if there is really no way in the end, then let's do it!" Liu Leshan struggled for a long time, and finally relented.

"Okay, just according to what Senior Brother said." Jian Ning stopped arguing and nodded in response.

Time passed minute by minute, but until noon, Jian Ning and the others did not wait for anything to eat. Ruan Zijin couldn't sit still for a long time, and everyone's stomachs were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

Last night, I didn't eat much because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to go out. I thought there would be breakfast delivered, but I didn't know that it was past noon, and nothing had been delivered.

"Hey, someone! Are you trying to starve us to death? Ruan Zijin couldn't sit still, stood up, slammed the door vigorously, and complained deeply.

Jian Ning looked at Ruan Zijin like this, and she had no intention of stopping it, after all, it was uncomfortable to be hungry. But in her heart, she was even more strange, why didn't she have anything to eat today. Are you going to kill them? So there's no need to waste food? (To be continued) R580
