Chapter 479: Bandits

Anyway, with your protection, this king has been in the carriage for so long, and he is almost suffocating, and he is trying to come out to breathe. ”

The guards were very helpless about the words of the Nine Princes, but they couldn't do anything, so they had to keep persuading.

Unexpectedly, the Nine Princes looked at it, but they became interested, "These bandits are very good, and this king has also learned, come, bring a sword to this king, and let this king go down to meet them." ”

It's not enough to see the excitement, he still wants to do it himself, how can the guards agree to this kind of thing, in case something happens, he can't afford to be responsible.

"Lord Wang, if you want to find someone to compete...... Before he finished speaking, the Ninth Prince snatched the sword in his hand and rushed straight at the bandits.

Xie Yutang saw the Nine Princes running towards him from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him.

The Nine Princes also wanted to pretend that after losing to the bandits, he was captured by the bandits, but the people around him didn't give him this chance at all. When the head of the guard saw that he was disobedient, he actually carried him directly and threw him back into the carriage.

The ninth prince lay in the carriage and sighed helplessly, he also tried his best.

Xie Yutang led his men and the guards to fight for a long time, but in the end, there was still no way to find a breakthrough, so they could only retreat.

"I really didn't expect that the King of Chu would arrange so many masters around the Nine Princes." After the battle just now, Xie Yutang can already be sure that the guards around the Nine Princes are not ordinary people, and the number of martial arts paths is from the palace, but I am afraid that they are still the elite of one in a hundred.

When his subordinates knew this, they were very frustrated, "After this attack, the guards will definitely be more vigilant, and it will be difficult for us to get close to the Nine Princes." ”

When Xie Yutang heard this, he also frowned, "What you said is very reasonable, but we must not give up on this." ”

Although the court is now in turmoil and the country is in turmoil, Xiangguoji Temple stands outside the world and has always been peaceful.

On this day, the abbot ushered in an uninvited guest, he saw the person who suddenly appeared in his room, he was not surprised and frightened, but poured him a cup of tea, "The donor must have come all the way, take a sip of tea slowly." ”

Xie Yutang patted the dust on his body, after driving for so long, he was really thirsty, so he took the tea unceremoniously and drank it all.

"Fang Zheng didn't seem surprised at all when he saw me. Did you guess I'd come here to find you? Xie Yutang asked the doubts in his heart.

The abbot shook his head slightly, "The old man didn't know that the benefactor would come. It's just that the gate of Xiangguo Temple is open to people all over the world, and the donor is just one of the tens of millions in this red dust. ”

"Abbot, do you know what I want to do this time?" Xie Yutang smiled noncommittally and made a Buddhist salute to the abbot.

"If the old man didn't guess wrong, the donor should have wanted to see an old friend this time." The abbot said unhurriedly with a calm expression on his face.

Hearing this, Xie Yutang raised his eyebrows in some surprise. He must have guessed his identity, so he knew the purpose of his visit.

I have long heard that the abbot of Xiangguo Temple is a master of the world, originally he thought that all this was exaggerated by everyone, but he did not expect that when he saw it in person, the abbot was really as unearthly as rumored.

"Now that the abbot knows the purpose of my visit, I hope you can make it easier."

Xie Yutang originally thought that the abbot would definitely not embarrass him, but he didn't expect the other party to shake his head firmly, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to the donor in this matter." ”

"Why?" Xie Yutang couldn't help but ask.

"If the old man agrees to the benefactor's request, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to Xiangguo Temple."

Xie Yutang was silent for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. If the king of Chu knew that he had met the nine princes in Xiangguo Temple, he would definitely implicate the monks in Xiangguo Temple.

"Abbot, people often say that the Buddha has purified all sentient beings, but now the people are displaced, they can't eat, and today's saints are cruel in heart and cruel in their methods. The people are living in dire straits, when are you going to help them, your Buddha? ”

The abbot was silent, and Xie Yutang continued, "You often teach people to do good and eliminate evil, but now this kind of self-preservation behavior is not a disguised aiding and abusive? ”

"I heard that General Xie was quick to think before, but when I saw it today, it really deserved his reputation, and the old man was impressed." There was a hint of relief on the abbot's face, "Go and see your old friend, the old man won't say much, but he won't help either." ”

This was already the biggest concession he could make, and Xie Yutang bowed to the abbot very gratefully.

Xiangguo Temple arranged a small secluded courtyard for the Nine Princes. The Ninth Prince was still thinking about how he should get in touch with Xie Yutang, and just as he was thinking about it, Xie Yutang suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You...... How did you end up here? The Nine Princes pointed at Xie Yutang with his finger, with incredulity in his eyes, this is Xiangguo Temple, heavily guarded, how did he sneak in?

Xie Yutang explained simply, and the Nine Princes sighed admiringly, "The abbot is really a model for my generation." ”

"I don't have much time to spare, so let's make a long story short." Xie Yutang urged.

"Okay," the Nine Princes told Xie Yutang all the news he knew, "After you left, the King of Chu announced to everyone that you had rebelled, although most of the people believed it, but there were still people who had doubts, so the King of Chu simply announced that you had unfortunately died on the way to escape, so that everyone could die." ”

After hearing these words, Xie Yutang slammed the table hard, his eyes were deep.

"What's more important is that the King of Chu is now implementing a high-pressure policy, and everyone in the court is in danger, I hope you can stand up and turn the situation around." The Nine Princes looked at each other, their eyes full of solemnity.

Xie Yutang pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.

The two of them were in the meditation room exchanging things that had happened during this time.

Suddenly, Xie Yutang's ears moved slightly, he lowered his voice, and quickly hid behind the door curtain, "Someone is coming outside." ”

Sure enough, after a while, the voice of the guard sounded outside the door, "Lord Wang, do you need to eat at noon?" ”

The Ninth Prince glanced at Xie Yutang, and then said loudly outside, "This king is not hungry, he won't need it at noon today, I want to rest first, you all retreat." ”

"Yes." There was the sound of footsteps leaving outside the door.

Xie Yutang walked out from behind the curtain and raised his eyebrows playfully, "It seems that you, the right-hand man of the King of Chu, are not trusted by him." ”

The Ninth Prince smiled wryly, "Don't make fun of me anymore, the King of Chu kept me by his side just to show his benevolence and generosity to the people of the world, in the final analysis, he is no different from the original crown prince." ”

Speaking of this, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, "He changed all my people, and now I live under his surveillance all day, and it is better to live than to die." ”

He was originally a dissolute and uninhibited person who longed for freedom, but now he is being watched all day long and living a life of restraint, which can be described as the most uncomfortable thing in the world for him.

He sighed softly, "It's not just me, actually. Many ministers in the DPRK and China have been placed eyeliner around them. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yutang couldn't help frowning, "I really didn't find out before, he is such a narrow-minded and suspicious person." ”

"He was not in the climate at that time, and he needed you to help him win the throne, so he naturally had to hide his true nature." The words of the Nine Princes were full of mockery, "Three days ago, in the court, he suddenly sent a general, just because the other party said a few disrespectful words after being drunk, he actually asked the guards to pull out his tongue alive in front of all the ministers. Poor general is loyal and dedicated to the country. ”

Xie Yutang was so angry that he slammed the table fiercely, "His methods are so brutal, aren't you afraid that everyone will be cold?" ”

"Why don't you feel cold? It's just that they don't have the ability to resist. With the experience of the crown prince, the army is firmly in his hands. The Nine Princes sneered and snorted.

In less than a quarter of an hour, another little maid called out to the door, "Lord Wang, the weather is hot, if you want to take a lunch break, let the slave fan for you." ”

"It's noisy, get out!" The Nine Princes pretended to be woken up and shouted out of the door very angrily.

"Please forgive the prince, and the slave and maid will retire now."

After there was no movement outside, Xie Yutang gave him a strange look, "Why do you have to be served even when you sleep now?" I didn't find you so pampered before. ”

"Do you think this little maid is an ordinary person? This is also what our King of Chu sent to spy on me. The words of the Nine Princes were filled with helplessness.

"What?!" Xie Yutang's face had an incredible look on his face, "His surveillance on you has reached such an extent?!" ”

"So it's so hard for you to see me." The Ninth Prince paused, and couldn't help urging, "You better leave as soon as possible, after a while, they will definitely find a way to come in and check." ”

Sure enough, as he said, as soon as Xie Yutang left with his front foot, the guards broke into the door directly under the pretext of entering the thief.

After the guards came in, they first searched around, and then asked the Nine Princes for their guilt.

"You are all the emperor's brothers, and this king doesn't dare to dispose of them at will." While drinking tea, the Ninth Prince said slowly, "I don't know what you can find in this king's room?" ”

The guards smiled awkwardly, it was really because of the situation on the road, and the Nine Princes had been staying in the room, they had no way to rest assured, so they found an excuse and broke in.
