Just when Xuan Shaoning was worried about the conscription, Yan Keran and his party swaggered out of the Zhengji Gate on horseback and headed towards the south of the Beijing Division.

"How could the eldest prince of Yan have such free time to invite us to travel? Knowing that I'm okay all day but suffocating? It was Xiao Moyan who said this, wearing a lilac tight-fitting short robe, and a waist seal embroidered with unicorn patterns, which set off his sturdy figure well. As a member of the Ministry of Works, he doesn't have much to do, and he seems to have nothing to do when he stays in the yamen all day, and he has long wanted to come out and relax.

"It happens to be my vacation, and it's not easy to have four days, so I'm kind enough to ask you to come out and enjoy the mountains and rivers!" Compared with Xiao Moyan, Yan Keran is obviously busier, as the captain of the Imperial Forest Guard, he is responsible for guarding the Imperial City, and today he was finally able to take off the cramped Imperial Forest Guard Robe, and put on a grass green close-fitting long placket, with his hair tied up, only decorated with a narrow hairband of the same color, and the young man's sharp energy on his body could not be stopped.

Compared with the "showmanship" of the two, Su Qian seems to be a lot more literate, just a moon-white robe, which makes people unable to associate it with the son of the richest man in Beijing, but looks like an elegant literati. "It's a pity that Shaoning and Wantong can't come, it's still a pity."

"Shaoning is now deeply trusted by King Yu and is busy recruiting troops; And Wantong is in charge of Leng Yuezhai, and there are many affairs to take care of, where can I compare with you? After returning to Qingshan Academy to resume his life, Zhao Kexin felt bored in the mountains, so he came to Jingshi again. Looking at the salty and non-trivial narration of a few people, I always felt like a deep resentful woman, and I couldn't help but sarcastically.

"Hey, Kexin, you are helping Shao Ning speak more and more! What's the matter, after fighting side by side, you secretly feel emotional? Xiao Moyan quipped.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kexin was not as shy as an ordinary woman, but she didn't care, "What if it is?" Since ancient times, beauties have admired heroes, and I am naturally no exception! ”

"But what Xin said is right, aren't you the only 'beauty' among us today?" At the end of the line, Mu Qingyuan smiled and catered to it. It was originally a good intention, but I didn't expect it to make the other two laugh.

"Okay, Qingyuan, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, you are not honest now!" Zhao Kexin glanced at him.

"Nope...... Misunderstanding......" Mu Qingyuan's tongue knotted for a while.

"Haha, okay, Kexin, you just let Qingyuan go, after all, it's hard for you to bully him in the future!" Xiao Moyan reminded.

"What do you mean?" Su Qian looked back at Mu Qingyuan and asked.

"The edict has been issued, and I will go to Hanzhou to take up my post in ten days."

"Hanzhou is adjacent to Qingzhi City in the Lower Tang Dynasty, and there are wars from time to time, how can you let you go there? Your father didn't ......." Xiao Mo couldn't finish his words before he was interrupted by Mu Qingyuan, "I took the initiative to ask for help." ”

At this time, even Yan Keran, who was walking in the forefront, couldn't help but hold the reins of the horse, turned around and asked, "Why?" How many people in Jingshi want to squeeze their heads to come in, not to mention that we are all here, why bother going to Hanzhou alone? ”

"Do you remember what the Master taught? Two years ago, I was also hesitant to miss the military camp like Shaoning and them, and the two years in Beijing can be regarded as a corner of the officialdom, not to mention that I also encountered the biggest fraud case in this dynasty, and I thought about it for a long time, maybe the front line is more suitable for me. Mu Qingyuan didn't say it loudly, but it stirred up a trace of waves in the hearts of several people, and for a while, everyone was speechless.

"Alright, then, don't run away from any of you. By the way, Ke Ran, don't stop, you haven't said where you're going to take us yet! Mu Qingyuan changed the topic stiffly.

"Oh, yes...... It's Yinyue Mountain, the mountain itself is not a famous mountain, but the fame of a temple on the mountain is not inferior to Tianfukuji. ”

"You're talking about Yaojue Temple?"

"That's right! The abbot of Yaojue Temple is a good friend of my father, and every year they will meet in the temple to chat, this year my father went to visit the abbot master, but today I contracted a cold and was sick at home, so I replaced it. ”

"I said, it turned out that we were here to accompany you to meet the guests!" Xiao Moyan was very disdainful.

"Don't talk too early, it's not too late to make a decision when you get to the temple, then you want to leave again, I will never stop you!" Yan Keran seemed to be very confident in himself, and trotted up by himself.

"Hey, I really don't believe it!" Xiao Moyan immediately followed. The group was no longer as leisurely as when they first left the city, and began to chase after me.

Half a day later, the temple located on the top of Ginzuki Mountain can already be seen in the distance.

If Tianfu Temple is splendid, then Yaojue Temple is quaint and natural. It is said to be quaint, because the buildings in the temple are basically only gray and white, and even the pillars of the main hall are gray. It is said that it is natural, there is no wall around the temple, and several buildings seem to be scattered in a certain space, but if you look closely, you will find that each building is just right with the surrounding rocks and vegetation. Occasionally, a monk in a gray cloth robe passed by, walking unhurriedly and steadily, and did not look up at these strange visitors, but only moved his lips slightly, as if he was silently reciting something. It was already twilight, and even worse in the mountains, where there were no pilgrims, and the candles had not been lit. The gust of mountain wind blew by, and people couldn't help but tighten their collars.

"It's really a rare place in the mouth of Gongzi Yan!" Xiao Moyan sneered at Ke Ran's big words in order to prove Fang Caiyan.

"Then please!" Yan Keran didn't plan to continue the war of words with Xiao Moyan at all, and walked towards the main hall first, Su Qian had a look of peace when he came, and followed, Zhao Kexin and Mu Qingyuan were not as disgusted as Xiao Moyan, but were quite interested. In a blink of an eye, only Xiao Moyan was left standing alone, he looked at the rising moon above his head, and sighed helplessly, "Count you as a winner", so he had to step forward.

When Yan Keran stepped into the hall, the fire candles set up on both sides of the hall suddenly lit up, illuminating the originally dim main hall. The sudden scene frightened several people, and they unconsciously put on a posture.

"A few donors are overthinking." An old monk wearing a plain robe slowly walked out from behind the pillars, and approached, several people saw that the old monk was white and snowy, growing to the chest, and his face was thin but not losing his looks.

"Master Wu Loss" Yan Ke Ran applied solemnly, folded his hands, bowed reverently, and the rest of the people did the same.

"Ling Zun can't come, the old man is a little worried, I just hope that Ling Zun can recover as soon as possible, and please forgive the old man for not being able to go."

"The master is serious, my father was also sick a few days ago, and he missed the appointment with the master, please don't blame the master."

"It is also an honor for the old man to come, not to mention that the son also brought his classmates, which is the glory of Yaojue Temple."

"Huh? Master, how did you know that we were classmates? Although he has always been a little dissatisfied with the temple, it was Xiao Moyan who first raised his interest.

"Childe has mentioned a few classmates with Lao Wei before, and they are all people with distinct personalities. Just now you have a conversation outside the hall, Lao Wei also heard it, and now he can talk to Gongzi like this, but I am afraid that he will only be a classmate who has been with him for seven years. ”

"Wow, the master is really a great wisdom, admire and admire!" Xiao Moyan said.

"Master, the little girl still doesn't understand anything, and she wants to ask the master."

"But for the sake of the candle?"

Zhao Kexin's eyes widened, and before he could express his approval, he heard Master Wuji say: "Each row of fire candles is not at the same height, each fire candle is a little shorter than the previous one, and the wicks of all fire candles are connected by the same quenched fuse of fire oil, and the old man only needs to light the fire on the highest fire candle, and all the fire candles will be lit immediately." ”

After listening to Master Wushi's explanation, several people came to the candle to check carefully, and it was as the master said.

"It's like diverting water from high to low, and the water passes through a fixed channel. Wow, the master is really clever! Mu Qingyuan looked at Master Wushu with admiration.

In the face of the adoring expressions of several people, the expression on the face of the master remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "A few people have come from afar, and the temple has prepared a meal, please come with the old man." After saying that, Master Wushu turned around and led the way.

Thinking that the masters were like this, several people did feel hungry, so they didn't care too much, and followed Master Wushi to the hall and simply had dinner.

"This is the wing room of this temple, and the old man has prepared a total of three, and I hope that a few people will not dislike it." The wing room of Yaojue Temple is not far behind the hall, and the abbot leads five people here.

"Every time I come, I live here, I'm already familiar with the path, so the master might as well please go back." Yan Keran said politely.

"Although it is not far from the hall, it is so quiet, I am afraid that only Yaojue Temple can have such a wing!" Su Qian was very satisfied with the wing room hidden in the bamboo forest.

Yan Keran also nodded in agreement, and at this moment, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, flashing and disappearing into the bamboo forest. Who's that? How do you look at the back, it looks familiar, where have you seen it? Yan Keran hurriedly walked in the direction where the figure disappeared.

"Hey, Ke Ran, the wing room is here!" Mu Qingyuan saw that Yan Keran was about to walk in the opposite direction, and hurriedly corrected.

"I also said that I have been here many times, and I am very familiar with it, but I haven't even figured out the direction?" Xiao Moyan glared at Yan Ke Ran, then turned his head and nodded at Master Wuzhi with a smile, meaning that I am much more reliable than that person.

In this instant, the figure had completely disappeared, and Yan Keran had no choice but to give up. "yes, it's abrupt."

"In that case, let the old man lead you there."

Under the guidance of Abbot Wushi, the five people found the door of their respective wings, and after seeing Abbot Wushi leave, Yan Keran hurriedly stopped the four people who were about to open the door.

"What's the matter, Mr. Yan?" Xiao Moyan was very impatient.

"Do I know what I just saw?" Looking at the indifferent faces of the four people, Yan Keran pulled a few people together, lowered his voice and said, "I seem to have seen Wu Zhe!" ”

Wu Zhe? For this name, the four of them began to try to recall where they had heard of it, and in the end, it was Mu Qingyuan who thought first, "But the Shizi who was beheaded in the fraud case seems to be the only son of the richest man?" ”

"That's right!"

"How is that possible? Hell yes! ”

"I don't think it's possible, but I'm confident I won't be mistaken. I have been through the whole fraud case, and although I have not seen him beheaded, I know that it is a capital crime that cannot be pardoned. As a guard, I can recognize people and people, and I still have some ability to foil myself. Yan Keran saw Xiao Moyan open his mouth to say something, so he immediately blocked his mouth.

"I still believe Ke Ran in this." Zhao Kexin has not experienced fraud cases, but she also knows that Yan Keran will not joke about this kind of thing, "If he is still alive, then ......"

"That means the person who died before was just a substitute for the dead!" Su Qiandao.

"It's unbelievable to be able to change death row prisoners under the emperor's nose, not to mention hiding people here, it's only half a day's journey from Jingshi....... Zhao Kexin said.

"I also think it's incredible, we are new to Yaojue Temple, don't startle the snake for the time being, and have a good exploration tomorrow!" After Yan Keran finished speaking, he still didn't forget to look in the direction of the bamboo forest.

Several people agreed, and then went back to their rooms. Just after they left, a black shadow lurking in the bamboo forest quickly flashed away, no one knew when the black shadow was hiding in the bamboo forest, and it didn't even let the five of them notice it in the slightest.

"Princess"

"Why did it take so long to come back, tell me how it was?"

"Well, it's not good......"

"What do you mean? You can make it clear! ”

"The recruitment of Xuanxiao Lieutenant was not smooth, and it is said that he failed to recruit anyone in the Beijing Division."

"How so!"

Princess Yunxuan's beautiful face was painted with anger and anxiety at this time, her hands were sometimes clenched and sometimes she was grinding, and her feet were pacing back and forth in a small range. She didn't know why she cared so much about that person, and she didn't know when she started to pay attention to and worry about that person, but she knew that since that encounter in Tianfu Temple, his face couldn't be erased from her mind, and from time to time she jumped out, rejoicing because of his success, and annoyed because of his frustration, is this love at first sight? But how can such a relationship get the approval of his father? She is a princess who rises to the clouds, and he is just a small captain, the difference between cloud and mud.......

"What's wrong, princess?"

Princess Yunxuan didn't expect the harem to be so big, and she would meet the lady Yingren who now favors the harem, and her surprised expression was obviously written on her face. She rarely interacts with the concubines of the harem, especially like Lady Yingren, and always feels that she is not a good type.

"Sister Ying, why are you right here?"

"I was enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden, I heard the cry just now, so I came to take a look, I didn't expect it to be you, the princess, but what happened?"

Princess Yunxuan only remembered at this time that she was too worried about Xuan Shaoning and spoke too loudly. I had to squeeze out a smile: "Oh, it's me...... It's nothing. ”

Looking at Princess Yunxuan's embarrassed appearance, Yingshuren walked to her side and gently held the princess's hand, like a big sister, "Now that the princess is also in her twenty-eighth year, at the age of the beginning of love, the only thing she cares about the most is her sweetheart." ”

Princess Yunxuan's eyes widened, she didn't say anything, but everything was seen through by Lady Ying, and she was unspeakably surprised, "You...... How do you know? ”

"Silly princess, I am also a woman, and I have also experienced your age, so I can naturally understand it. I didn't hear what you were shouting, but my tone was full of worry and anxiety, and I guess that's it. ”

"You can guess that alone?! No wonder my father spoiled you so much! Princess Yunxuan was like a child who had done something wrong and was discovered by her parents at this time, she lowered her head and kept pulling the corners of her clothes with her hands.

"Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell your father."

"Really? Then say okay, don't regret it! ”

"Of course!"

"Also, you can't tell anyone else in the harem."

"I'm alone, and I don't have anyone close to me in the harem, who else can I tell to go?"

This sentence seemed to touch Princess Yunxuan, she put down the corner of her clothes, also held the hand of Lady Yingren, and looked at each other with innocent big eyes, "I understand the survival rules of the harem, every woman has exhausted her youth in waiting, and every woman tries her best to get the favor of her father, there are only enemies, no friends, right?" ”

Instead, Lady Yingren laughed, "Silly princess, how can you think so darkly in the harem." Okay, would you like to tell me about your sweetheart? ”

"This ...... I ......"

"Well, I'm not going to be hard for you, just because I didn't ask. I thought that if he had any difficulties, I would see if I could come up with some ideas! "The posture of the lady is to go. As soon as Princess Yunxuan heard that she could help, she hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Can you really help?" ”

"I'm just trying, I don't know what's going on, and I don't necessarily be able to help."

"That'..... Do you know how you can recruit more soldiers? ”

"Well, I don't understand this as a woman. All I know is that if it doesn't work in one place, you might as well change places, and maybe it will be done! ”

"yes, I didn't think of that! Sister Ying, you are really smart! Princess Yunxuan finally smiled, and she felt a little jubilant, "Thank you, thank you, Sister Yingren!" With that, he ran away happily.

Watching Princess Yunxuan leave, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Lady Yingren's mouth, "Silly princess, you are so innocent." ”
