Chapter Eighty-Three: Sou Temple
Cui Wanqing flipped through the Diamond Sutra in her hand, she copied this scripture more than a hundred times, and she could memorize it backwards, but she still looked like she was reading it with relish.
Yinling pulled Yulan's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sister Yulan, I remember that this Diamond Sutra can be copied by Miss silently, why is she still so fascinated by it?" ”
Yulan said with a smile: "I used to wonder about it, but then I couldn't help but ask Miss, Miss said that every time I read it, I can experience a different truth from it, so every time I read it, it is like reading it for the first time." ”
Yinling didn't like to read since she was a child, and her temperament is a jump-out, where can she understand the truth of 'learning from the old and learning the new'?
Just as they were about to ask again, they heard the sound of footsteps outside, and several of them turned their faces to look at it in confusion, guessing, could it be that the presiding abbot had already taken care of things and came back?
As a result, after the bamboo curtain was lifted, it was actually Qi Xuanhui who walked in, this person's face was really not good-looking, until he saw Cui Wanqing, who was comfortable with the scriptures in his hand, and his frowning brows were a little looser.
He glanced at the two Jin Ling sisters, and ordered, "Go and pack up your master's things." ”
"What? Want to go? Cui Wanqing closed the scripture when she heard this, and asked him, "Isn't there a search for criminals outside?" Let's wait for them to leave, and it's not too late to go back, so why talk to them more? ”
Qi Xuanhui was originally afraid that these wolf-like officers and soldiers, greedy for flowers, lustful, and afraid of the soft and afraid of the hard, would collide with Cui Wanqing without knowing whether they were alive or dead, so as soon as he knew that Cui Wanqing was trapped in the Zen courtyard where he was entertaining, he hurriedly led people over.
Fortunately, the little soldier guarding the door. Just now, I was instructed by my captain not to treat the guests in the house slowly, so I didn't dare to make a statement, and I took the silver ticket and let a few of them in.
Now that he saw the person he was worried about, he was in front of him, and Qi Xuanhui's nervous mood could be regarded as relaxing.
If Cui Wanqing was bumped into and wronged today, then Qi Xuanhui would vomit blood.
There is no other reason, all because today's Hongruo Temple will stage such a big show. It was all last night. Mr. Han Ning took people and successfully rescued Yan Shiba.
At that time, all the soldiers who escaped alive were divided into two routes, and those who were injured and had difficulty moving down the river by boat. The rest is along the rugged mountain road. Ran to Hongruo Temple overnight.
These officers and soldiers today. It was not a search for any escaped fugitives at all, but within the scope of suspicion, to search for Yan Eighteen.
Last night, Mr. Han Ning brought Yan Eighteen over. It was already the second half of the night, and early in the morning, even if Qi Xuanhui knew that the person had arrived, he couldn't just go to see him.
can only follow the original plan, accompany Cui Yongzhong and Cao Mu, and listen to Master Chengguang's lectures.
As soon as I came back from Zhide Temple, I saw that there was one more master in the room who had met a few times, but did not know the Dharma name, and this one did not say much, and did not even report the Dharma name, so he briefly talked about the general situation of the matter.
Only half of the words were spoken, Qi Xuanhui only had a general understanding of the situation, and when he heard the commotion outside, Liang Dong quickly reported at the door, saying that hundreds of officers and soldiers had poured out of the temple, saying that they would search for the escaped fugitives.
Others don't know, can Qi Xuanhui still not know?
What to catch fugitives? It's just to find Yan Eighteen, okay!
However, seeing that Xuanping Hou did not hesitate to use such a big battle, just to capture a Yan Eighteen, it proved more and more that this person was worth considerable.
The master who came to deliver the news, as soon as he saw the officers and soldiers coming to arrest people, he immediately became anxious, and he didn't care about finishing the matter, and in a few words, he decided that he would take Qi Xuanhui to meet people in the evening, so he hurriedly left.
Without Qi Xuanhui's signal, Liang Dong sent someone to follow the master, and after a while, the guard who was following him came back and replied, saying that he had seen the master enter Master Puguang's Zen monastery with his own eyes.
The little monks he saw along the way called him senior brother, and even the monks at the gate of the Zen temple also saluted him, it seems that he is not a fake monk, but a real disciple of Hongruo Temple, and this status is not low.
Qi Xuanhui didn't feel particularly surprised when he heard this, he thought in his heart, I am afraid that Master Ran went to ask for a favor from his friend, and this person who settled down was Master Puguang, so today it was Master Puguang's disciple. It wasn't very abrupt to come and report to him.
Thinking of why Xuanping Hou cared so much about Yan Eighteen, Qi Xuanhui was suddenly looking forward to tonight's first meeting with this legendary figure, thinking that Xuanping Hou could go to such great trouble for this person, there must be a big secret in this person!
Thinking about it like this, Qi Xuanhui's originally depressed mood was a little better.
Although he is indifferent on weekdays, he rarely gets angry, except for facing Cui Wanqing, few people can see big mood swings in him, why is it rare to be angry today?
Cui Wanqing's trapping was one of the factors, and what annoyed Qi Xuanhui the most was because the Marquis of Xuanping, an idle marquis who had no military power and only a title, was able to mobilize the military generals and officers of Jiangzhou City to do things for his marquis mansion based on only words.
If this matter is investigated deeply, it will be very terrifying, and now, he has seen with his own eyes that what Xuanping Hou has mobilized is only a few hundred officers and soldiers, and a garrison of Jiangzhou City.
According to Qi Xuanhui's thoughts, I am afraid that because of some considerations, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion did not want to make this matter known to everyone, so it did not need too many manpower, so only a few hundred people were dispatched.
In the future, if one day, this thief has a different heart and wants to go further, then, by that time, how many officers and soldiers will Xuanping Hou really be able to mobilize? !
Although the Jiangnan side is the hinterland of the Dajing Dynasty, the land of fish and rice, and the garrison is not like the northwest and southern Jiangnan, there are still more than 100,000 or 200,000 in the rough calculation.
With such a serious consequence, Rao is Qi Xuanhui would also be frightened, if he wasn't worried about Cui Wanqing's side and had to pick up people back in person, he would have already started to write a secret report to the one in the capital.
Today's events are just the tip of the iceberg, if the mountain is really chiseled open, what is hidden in this iceberg, Qi Xuanhui does not dare to make his own decisions.
He had already made a decision in his heart, everything that happened in Jiangnan. No matter how big or small, all will be truthfully reported to the Holy Beings today.
"Didn't you send someone to keep an eye on you?"
"I simply wrote in more detail than him, and I followed your instructions no matter what, so that I would just do what I was told, and at least I didn't have to worry about any troubles such as high merit and shock."
Don't look at Qi Xuanhui's calculations in his heart, but he is still surnamed Qi, and he is still a member of the royal family of the Dajing Dynasty, so he can play all kinds of tricks. But others will never allow it!
For example, right now. This Xue Garrison, who came with the troops, in the eyes of Qi Xuanhui, was simply holding his own money and eating his own food. But a big traitor who works for other people's families!
If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to expose my affairs in Jiangzhou too early. Qi Xuanhui wanted to chop this dog with a sword just now.
One thought of being in Jiangnan. There are such sluts everywhere, and the court spends so much military salary, but in the end it is doing good things for someone. Can he not be angry!
Fortunately, Cui Wanqing is safe and sound now, listening to this person's words, the little boss in charge of this piece is not a mushy person, and he is still a little skillful in doing things, quite sleek.
At least he completed the task sent by Shangguan, and he didn't have the audacity to disturb the female dependents.
Qi Xuanhui immediately beckoned to Liang Dong at the door, and commanded a few words in his ear.
This is to let people go to explore the details of the little leader, and Xue Shoubei, who is eating inside and out, can't move for the time being, so he can only learn from Qi Xuanzhen, write down the account for him first, and wait until the incident happens in the future, and then calculate the general account together.
Qi Xuanhui only calmed down at this moment, he raised his hand and dusted off the corners of his clothes, and instructed Yinling: "Let the little master in the courtyard send some snacks and tea to the ear room, a few of my attendants are inside, by the way, tell them, and when the officers and soldiers outside retreat, they will come to inform." ”
Yinling knew the true identity of this person, and he really didn't dare to come out, and when he heard the words, he glanced at Cui Wanqing very quickly, and saw that this person was still as usual on his face, and he didn't see displeasure, so he bent his knees and went out at a trot.
Cui Wanqing looked at the silver bell that seemed to be running away, disappeared behind the bamboo curtain, couldn't help but glance at Qi Xuanhui, and whispered: "It's so dignified, you have to keep a straight face, and look at the little girl who scares people." ”
Qi Xuanhui saw that she was coquettish, and his smile immediately came, and he said helplessly: "Isn't this a habit? ”
"Besides, I only feel relaxed about you, and I unconsciously lift my strength when I face others."
"Alas, more than ten years of habits, for a while, can't be changed."
Cui Wanqing couldn't help but feel distressed when she heard him say this, and said softly: "It's okay, I don't want you to smile at everyone, it's just aura."
"Hey, forget it, this thing is innate, and you can't call it to come and go when it is gone."
The two suppressed their voices and laughed a few words, and Qi Xuanhui thought about saying something serious.
Because the two have not had time to be alone recently, Cui Wanqing still doesn't know about Yan Eighteen.
And right now, it's a good time to look at it
Qi Xuanhui looked at Fang's mother standing in the distance, and looked at him vigilantly, but he didn't say anything to let everyone out.
Cui Wanqing saw that he had something to say, and coughed lightly, "Yulan, Jin Ling, you two don't have to wait here, Yulan might as well go to the courtyard to listen to the movement, Jin Ling go to the pantry to help your sister-in-law, Mama, you just stand guard at the door." ”
Fang's mother hesitated slightly, but she still did as Cui Wanqing instructed, after all, she was at the door, and the two people in the room were in sight, if something was wrong, she could deal with it in time.
She still trusts Cui Wanqing very much, and feels that since her young lady has ordered her like this, there must be enough reasons for her to do so.
Cui Wanqing looked at Mother Fang's person at the door, but her eyes looked straight to this side, and she couldn't help but be a little funny, her grandmother was really a good calf protector.
Her heart was warm, looking at Qi Xuanhui's eyes, she was also full of joy, and said softly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, Mother Fang is my grandmother, don't be afraid." ”
Qi Xuanhui couldn't help but be overjoyed, why was his little daughter-in-law so understanding?
Look at what she thinks in her heart, she knows it completely, and if she divides five by two, she will send everyone out.
didn't hide it at the moment, so he picked the important place about Yan Eighteen and told Cui Wanqing about it.
Mother Fang was originally on guard against Qi Xuanhui, so she deliberately stood not too far, and Qi Xuanhui's voice was not deliberately lowered, so she could listen to it.
As a result, the more I listened to what this person said, the more frightened I became.
Okay, these two have known each other for a long time, and they are still planning something big in private.
Mother Fang is a person from the Ming'an Hou Mansion, and she has seen it in any world, and she knows most about these conspiracies and calculations, which is the most terrifying.
But you must not let the third person know that your own young lady is involved in these things, otherwise your own young lady will definitely be finished!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder, turned around and went out, swept left and right, and saw that Yulan was standing far away, and there were more silver bells around her, but the golden bell was nowhere to be seen, and she was not by her inseparable sister's side.
In addition, the whole courtyard was empty, there was not even a single figure, and I don't know where all the little novices who were originally entertaining guests in the courtyard had gone?
But no one cares, at least there is no need to worry about someone eavesdropping, Fang's mother didn't dare to stand in the house, so she simply put a small pestle behind the door, sat outside the bamboo curtain, and concentrated on the sentry.
Her actions like this won Qi Xuanhui's high looks, and she whispered to Cui Wanqing: "It's not in vain that you are so attentive to her." ”
Cui Wanqing was looking down and thinking about the relationship between Yan Eighteen and Xuanping Hou, and after listening to his brainless words, she glanced at Qi Xuanhui angrily, isn't this nonsense?
In this world, Fang's mother is afraid that she is a better person than her own Laozi, and Cui Wanqing learned to trust these two words in this life, or it started from Fang's mother.
If she hadn't been relieved from the bottom of her heart, how could she have left people in front of her and listened to the two of them talk about such a secret thing?
Cui Wanqing felt that in addition to the Jinling sisters, it was time for Fang's mother to know more.
Now that Qi Xuanhui has arrived in Jiangzhou City, counting the days, it has only been ten days, and he has already made such a big move, although his identity has not been leaked, but looking at the situation, this original plan, I am afraid that there has been a change.
Originally, before Cui Changjian came, he should have secretly investigated, trying to minimize any suspicious actions, so as not to startle the snake.
But now, they have sent guards to rob Xuanping Hou of people, what will happen to the future development, Cui Wanqing is really out of luck.
In this case, if the people around you are more vigilant and guarded, they will have the same heart with her.
Whether it's at home, outside, or even a guest at someone else's house, at least a few more people who know to help her cover at any time are more convenient for follow-up development, isn't it? (To be continued......)
