On this day, Ami was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

She couldn't help frowning, rolled over, and didn't bother to pay attention.

The people outside the door saw that she didn't react, so they slapped her twice.

"Sister Ami, you made an appointment with Miss Ye today to go to the temple to pray for blessings, don't sleep over."

Ami rubbed her eyes, sighed deeply, and replied weakly, "Got it—"

Xiaolian saw that Ami was awake, so she pushed the door and came in, still holding the water for washing.

"Sister Ami, the water is ready, you hurry up and get ready."

Ami turned over and looked at Xiaolian, still sleepy, "I know, I know, I'll get up." ”

As he spoke, he lay down again and slowed down, and then turned over.

The day before yesterday, Ming Xin sent someone to ask her to go to the temple with her to pray for blessings.

Originally, she didn't believe in these gods and Buddhas, but when she thought that the road ahead was still so long, and it was full of unknown dangers, it wouldn't be in the way anyway, what if the gods opened their eyes?

What's more, she is ashamed of Mingxin.

At the beginning, she swore that she would help Mingxin get close to Changli, but she turned into Princess Rui, she really didn't want to go, and this time she went out with Mingxin, but also hoped to make it clear in person, so as not to have a gap in the future.

The two agreed to meet at the city gate, and then set off together, and when Ami arrived, Mingxin's carriage was already there.

Ami poked her head out of the carriage and saw Mingxin's little girl waiting by a carriage.

The little girl obviously saw her too, and lifted the curtain to say hello to Mingxin.

Mingxin poked her head out, just as Ami's carriage had already arrived next to her.

"Miss Ye has been waiting for a long time."

Mingxin responded with a smile, "Where, I've only been here for a short time." ”

"I've been in Anling for so long, and it's the first time I've been to the temple, but it's a little new."

"The Huitong Temple we are going to today is some distance from the city, but I heard that this temple is very effective."

"Then let's hurry up, it's not too early now, lest we not be able to come back in the evening."

Mingxin smiled and nodded, lowered the curtain, and instructed the groom, "Let's go." ”

Ami saw the carriage in front of her leave, so she hurriedly followed.

The carriage staggered for nearly an hour before it came to a stop.

Xiaolian lifted the curtain and looked out, and said to Ami, "Sister Ami, the carriage in front has stopped." ”

"But here?"

Xiaolian shook her head.

At this time, the voice of the horseman came from outside the carriage, "County Lord, Miss Ye said that it is not far from Huitong Temple in front, and the carriage cannot be passed, so you need to get off the carriage and walk for a while." ”

Ami listened, got up and lifted the curtain of the car, looked around, and sure enough, saw some carriages parked around, and the temple was led by a stone staircase not far ahead, and the pedestrians and people coming and going on the stone staircase were enough to see that the temple was full of incense.

She took Xiaolian out of the carriage and saw Mingxin waiting for her in front.

Seeing her coming down, Mingxin smiled lightly, then turned around and walked towards the stone stairs first, while Ami followed behind.

It wasn't long before she walked out, and when she was about to reach the stone staircase, Ami caught a glimpse of a small figure appearing in sight.

She subconsciously turned her head, and saw a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, unkempt, staggering towards this side, the clothes on her body were no longer recognizable in their original colors, her little face was full of mud, her lips were chapped, and her eyes were blank, as if she was about to fall down at any time.

She frowned, and immediately walked towards the little girl, helping her when she was about to fall.

Xiaolian hurriedly took the little girl from Ami's hand.

Ami looked at the little girl with some sympathy, "Xiaolian, you take her back to the carriage to rest first, and by the way, go to the neighborhood to see if there is any water or food, and give her a cushion first." ”

"That'...... So what do you do? Xiaolian asked anxiously.

Ami smiled, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm such a big person, what else can happen to a bodhisattva?" Just rest assured! ”

Xiaolian hesitated to answer, then took the little girl and turned around and walked towards the carriage.

Ami watched them walk away, and then walked towards the stone stairs again, and when she looked up, she found that Mingxin was stopping on the stairs and looking at her.

Ming Xin raised his lips and smiled, his voice crisp, "The county lord is really kind-hearted, I just passed by, and I didn't notice it." ”

Ami climbed the stairs and responded with a smile, "Since we met, how can there be any reason to stand by and watch, after all, it is also a human life." ”

The two of them continued to walk up as they spoke.

In the temple, there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going, and there are monks in the temple who close their eyes and chant scriptures, a peaceful scene.

Ami and Mingxin stepped into the hall, walked to the futon and knelt down, folded their hands, looked up at the Buddha statue in front of them, and meditated in their hearts.

After a few moments, the two of them bent down, kowtowed three times, and then got up and smiled at each other.

Out of the temple gate, Ami asked, "Why did Miss Ye suddenly remember this blessing?" ”

Mingxin's face was a little gloomy, "It's just asking for marriage." ”

Ami's expression froze, and her face was a little apologetic, "I'...... I know that this matter is that I can't stand you, it's me who broke my promise, and it's normal for you to be angry in your heart......"

Ming Xin interrupted her with a wry smile, "You can't be blamed for this kind of thing, after all, who the prince is in his heart is not something you can control." ”

She sighed and changed the subject, "I heard that the back mountain here has a good scenery, let's go over there for a walk, and then go back when the time is almost over." ”

As he spoke, he quickened his pace slightly.

Ami looked at her back, and felt a little uncomfortable, but it would be good if she could really think so.

She sighed silently and followed.

The back mountain of Huitong Temple is not far from the front hall, and it will not take long to walk.

There is an uncarved bamboo forest in the back mountain, there is a stone path in the forest, which extends forward, and there are some pavilions on both sides, although it is not as exquisite as the mansion in the city, but this natural delicacy is also very pleasant.

On this road, there were relatively few pedestrians, and the two walked forward while talking.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the bamboo forest, not like the wind blowing the leaves, but more like ...... Someone is walking through the woods!

Ami has always paid more attention to her surroundings, and when she heard these strange sounds, she couldn't help but slow down and listen carefully.

Mingxin saw Ami stop suddenly, and turned back with some confusion, "What's wrong?" Why did it stop all of a sudden? ”

Ami wrinkled her eyebrows and said softly, "It seems to be someone." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an even more violent sound overhead, followed by the metal clashing of the sword from its sheath.

She subconsciously raised her head, only to see four black-clothed men flying down from the sky, and the sunlight shone on the knife surface through the gap in the bamboo forest, reflecting a dazzling light.

Ami narrowed her eyes, stretched out her hand and pushed Mingxin hard, and she retreated backwards.

Mingxin was already a little stunned by the sudden appearance of the man in black, and as soon as Ami pushed it, she fell directly to the dirt next to her, and finally came back to her senses.

The little girl beside Mingxin was also frightened, and ran over tremblingly to pick up Mingxin on the ground, and ran forward.

The man in black missed the blow and immediately chased after him.

The bamboo in the bamboo forest is not tight, and several people have no place to hide, so they dodge in all directions.

Ami panicked, didn't notice the rocks on the ground, and tripped and fell to the ground.

She put her hands on the ground, turned over and sat on the ground, hurriedly raised her right hand, and a silver needle hit the man in black in front of her.

The man in black twisted and fell to the ground.

Ami looked at the people on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, but in the afterglow, she saw another black shadow coming towards her.

When she raised her eyes, she saw another man in black holding a sharp knife and stabbing at her speed.

The tip of the knife was in front of her, and she shuddered, her hands picking at the dirt on the ground, and her eyes were tightly closed......

At the same time, Rui Wangfu.

Liuyun hurriedly ran into the study, didn't care about saluting, and his face was full of urgency, "Lord Wang! Oh no! The county lord was assassinated at Huitong Temple! ”
