Volume 2 Chapter 139 The Distant Bell

The temple's humble rooms were almost empty except for two pieces of coarse wooden furniture and cloth bedding. Yao Ji pressed her back against the wooden door and heard people outside discussing how to execute her!

Yao Ji was frightened and angry, her hands and feet trembling. She doesn't want to die! She wants a lot of things, but in this life for more than ten years, all she has gained is hard work, how can she be willing?

After a while, there was a "bang", Yao Ji was stumbled by the door, and the thin door was knocked open. Then two nuns came up and grabbed her and put hemp rope on her.

Yao Ji struggled up, stared at the old nun at the door, gritted her teeth and hissed: "If I die here, I will definitely turn into a terrible ghost, so that you will not die well one by one!" ”

"Shut her up!"

Yao Ji bit her lip and spat out a mouthful of blood towards the door, staring with big eyes.

…… The big city with a population of millions in Beijing is like an empty city at this time, just like the first-tier big cities during the Chinese New Year in later generations. There are no pedestrians on the road, only leaves and debris that no one cleans the ground, and the miserable atmosphere is extremely incommensurate with the scene of the Jingshi with carved railings and jade masonry. Zhu Gaoxu took Zhao Ping to ride a few times and galloped on the empty street.

Along the familiar road of Jilong Mountain, the war horse had already rushed through the incense and candle street. The iron hooves stepped on the stone road, "da-da......" made a messy and hurried sound, just like Zhu Gaoxu's mood at this time.

Several war horses neighed and jumped up the hill with a run, and rushed to the gate of the temple, and Zhu Gaoxu saw that the gate was closed. Or because the city of Jingshi is broken today, the temple has been closed for guests. At this time, the whole city was panicked, and no one came to offer incense.

Zhu Gaoxu turned over and dismounted, then ran towards the gate and rushed over, "bang", the shoulder armor hit the gate, and there was a "click" breaking sound inside, but the gate did not open. Seeing this, Zhao Ping and others also ran over, and Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said, "I'll count to three!" ”

"One, two, three!" Several men yelled and rushed towards the wooden door, and with a few loud bangs, the wooden door bounced open, and several tiles were shaken down and broken into pieces on the ground, and the dust fell from the door, and the broken wooden latch was still hanging on the door panel.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was dressed in iron armor, jumped in first.

"Amitabha!" The two old nuns had already come out when they heard the movement, "Several donors, this is a quiet place for Buddhism, only the ancient Buddha with green lights, and there is nothing outside the body of money......

"Where's Yao Ji?" Zhu Gaoxu stared at an old nun and asked directly. His eyes were red, his forehead was bulging, his hands were clenched into fists, and he was wearing a suit of armor, which was very murderous and terrifying.

The old nun was afraid, and immediately put away the nonsense, pointed to the north and said, "...... in the presiding courtyard."

"Lead the way!" Zhu Gaoxu said, just lift her arm and leave.

The group walked through several temples and came to the entrance of a courtyard inside, the door still closed. But the door inside is not as thick as the door, Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the words on it, let go of Lao Ni, kicked it sideways, and there was a loud "bang", and a door panel flew directly! In such a battle, the nun who was brought up sat on the ground, and the Buddhist beads in her hand were torn off and scattered.

When Zhu Gaoxu rushed in, he saw several nuns turn their heads and look at the courtyard gate in surprise. And Yao Ji's hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was covered with cloth, and she was being carried by a eunuch and nun to a stool on the eaves, and a circle of hemp rope was hung above the stool and on the beams...... Is this trying to hang Yao Ji?

Yao Ji was struggling, but then she didn't move, staring at Zhu Gaoxu with bright eyes, her eyes flashing with water, full of surprise.

Zhu Gaoxu walked up without saying a word. The eunuch looked at Zhu Gaoxu, took two steps back, and said, "Who are you?" Our family is just doing things according to Yiyi's orders......"

Zhu Gaoxu walked up and swung his fist violently, venting the emotions he was anxious about just now, "Bang! The eunuch's body hit the wall, and a few teeth in his mouth spurted out with blood, and he suddenly opened his mouth and cried out "wow", and his body shrank by the wall and trembled.

There was a dead silence all around, and no one said a word except the eunuchs.

Zhu Gaoxu entered Beijing twice before, and he behaved as forbearance and restraint, but this time it was different, more than 200,000 Yan soldiers had just come in from Beijing, and he killed a few people, what kind of thing was it?

Without saying anything, he stepped forward, lifted the eunuch's arm, walked back and kicked the stool away, and then reached out and hung the eunuch's neck on a rope that had just been tied to the beams of the room.

The eunuch made strange noises, and his hands and feet were slashing in the air. Zhu Gaoxu ignored him, stepped forward and pulled out the cloth ball in Yao Ji's mouth, and then untied the rope on her body. Yao Ji has always worn loose and thick monk's robes, but at this time she was tightly bound by a rope, and Zhu Gaoxu found that her breasts were not much better than Xu Miaojin, and she was still very young.

Yao Ji stretched out her hand to pull off the loosened rope, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "I thought you forgot about me and wouldn't come." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "How can you forget? The taste of that half steamed bun will never be forgotten for the rest of my life. Before I left Beijing last year, I sent someone to look for you at Jiming Temple, but I heard that someone blamed you for having a private meeting with a man and confined you. At that time, we didn't dare to stay in Beijing for a long time, so we had to leave first and find another opportunity. ”

Yao Ji said: "It's just a trumped-up charge!" My sin is only one, and that is to offend the queen. ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "What I promised, I may be late, but I will definitely not be absent." ”

At this moment, the old nun next to him took his eyes off the eunuch who had stopped moving, put his hands together and said: "Yao Ji, you are originally a person in the palace, although the poor nun is a little sorry for you, but that is the meaning of the palace, and the poor nun can't do anything......"

Yao Ji immediately turned around, her bright eyes seemed to have a sword light, and she said angrily: "You treat me as a three-year-old child? How much benefit did the host and a few of you receive in private, and how much land did the temple get? Don't I know? You're all accomplices! ”

Her chest rose and fell, but her voice gradually became cold: "You remember, every torture I have suffered, I remember it clearly, and I will not leave a single one, and I will pay it back ten times in the future!" How many toilets I have brushed, how many toilets you will have to lick clean with your mouths in the future, how many beatings I have received, how many knives you will have in the future! Whoever kills a thousand knives, you wait for that day, and every night you think about the taste of revenge, and let fear torture you so that you can't sleep! ”

As soon as she spoke, the nuns around her turned pale and couldn't speak. Even Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised, Yao Ji may only be fourteen or fifteen years old, her skin is tight and fair, and she looks more immature, but her words are full of great anger and resentment, which is not at all like the thoughts of a teenage lady.

That beautiful and delicate face is full of youthful vitality, but it is also full of great evil. Zhu Gaoxu felt very weird, but for some reason he was attracted to this kind of thing.

At this moment, Zhao Ping's voice said: "Lord Wang, the little one went back and asked Chen Baihu to bring troops over and destroy them?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said casually: "That's it, didn't Yao Ji say what to do?" Let's go. ”

Yao Ji immediately turned her head when she heard this, her face became faster than turning a book, and a gentle smile appeared on her face, although it was very reluctant, but at this time it looked even more charming. Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a sense of guilt again.

Walking outside the temple gate, Zhu Gaoxu gently picked up Yao Ji and put it on horseback, just picked up and felt that her body was very flexible, and Yao Ji made a moving sound softly when she was picked up.

The war horse only had a stirrup, so Zhu Gaoxu led the horse down the mountain on foot. He was silent, looking at Lu and pondering something.

After a short time, the group walked down the chicken coop mountain. As soon as I arrived on the main road, I saw a large group of Yan soldiers and cavalry coming from the Taiping Gate. A group of soldiers immediately made a noise, and they repeated their shouts: "King Gaoyang! King Gaoyang ......"

In the warm uproar, excited faces looked at this side, which was the army's recognition of Zhu Gaoxu's brave championship. On the battle array, the bravery of his own people is to give all his brothers a chance to survive!

…… Yao Ji sat on the back of the horse, silently feeling everything, what she saw and heard made her face slightly hot, and her heart beat hard. Yao Ji was very accustomed to this feeling of being held in a high place, and countless kings who shouted for respect were now leading her horse, and her head was also raised, as if she was not wearing a shabby and ill-fitting monk's robe, but indeed a ceremonial dress.

In an instant, Yao Ji felt that she was no longer a lowly palace maid who wanted to confuse people with her color, a nun who allowed others to tease and bully, but had an illusion of delicacy and honor.

Moreover, there was another, deeper, more subtle thing, which she had never felt before, and which seemed to be faintly touched......

When Zhu Gaoxu talked about the half steamed bun before, his voice suddenly became gentle and solemn. In fact, what he could feel, how could Yao Ji, the giver, be numb?

The king, who was leading the horse in front, the first thing she did after entering the city was to rush to the Jiming Temple to save her, which made her suddenly feel that there was hope in the world. Yao Ji held the reins tightly with both hands, and she was unwilling to let go.

Yao Ji's attention was always on Zhu Gaoxu, silently observing him. He seemed very silent, and after coming down the mountain, he didn't speak much, and he looked preoccupied.

Yao Ji didn't know what he was thinking. She could vaguely guess some, but she didn't know the inside story, she and Zhu Gaoxu had met three times in total, and they didn't know him very well.

But at this moment, King Yan won the world, as the most prominent son of King Yan, Zhu Gaoxu did not get carried away, did not take pride in his achievements, but looked preoccupied......

This made Yao Ji feel even more that the king in front of her was the person she wanted!

Yao Ji's intense emotions had just passed, and she felt a little numb and weak in her hands and feet at this time, but there was a look of smiling in her eyes.

In the distance, the bell rang on the castle tower, and the heavy sound of the bell continued, as if it was the lament of the emperor's death. Countless temples, endless land, its owners have changed today.
