Text 522 Dali Temple Bai Chun
On a cold winter and snowy night, Di Renjie, who was sleeping in a daze, was woken up by his subordinates, and someone from Dali Temple reported that Dali Temple was surrounded by more than 1,000 people, saying that he wanted to protect Pei Yan Pei.
Di Renjie rushed to the gate of Dali Temple, only to see a carriage covered with snowflakes, quietly parked at the door, the various entrances of Dali Temple, but also surrounded by a group of soldiers with cold expressions, although these people are not wearing armor, but their demeanor can be seen, these people are probably ruthless characters who have rolled back and forth on the battlefield.
"In Xia Di Renjie, who surrounded Dali Temple? It can be known that besieging Dali Temple is a serious crime in the imperial court! Di Renjie was dressed in a robe, stood in front of the quiet carriage, and said loudly.
Bai Chun slowly lifted the curtain, wearing a thick white fur coat, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, slowly stepped out of the carriage, raised his head to look at the bigger and bigger snowflakes, and said lightly: "Slave Bai Chun, according to the instructions of His Royal Highness the Prince, I am here to watch Pei Yan." ”
"Why?" Di Renjie was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be Bai Chun, who was next to the prince, who came to Dali Temple in person, and his heart was suddenly moved, obviously something big happened in Chang'an City.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got the news that someone is afraid that he is going to murder Pei Yan today, so he specially ordered me to protect him here to prevent him from being victimized by gangsters." The jet-black hair is stained with a layer of shallow snowflakes, but it looks more and more white and pure.
"Dali Temple is an important place for the Tang Dynasty, and it has always been guarded by heavy troops, is it a little too cautious for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to mobilize the people so much?" Di Renjie pointed to the rows of soldiers of the floating slaughter camp who looked like wooden stakes, but with an awe-inspiring murderous aura.
Di Renjie was obviously dissatisfied with Li Hong's sudden arrangement, and even sent troops to surround Dali Temple without informing himself, isn't he afraid that His Majesty and the Empress will know about this?
Although Pei Yan framed him, he wouldn't be so eager to put Pei Yan to death, right? Don't...... Could it be that there is something hidden?
At the same time as the two were talking, in the corner of Dali Temple, a figure sneakily heard the conversation between them, and quietly left the place.
And just after the man left, among the soldiers of the floating slaughter camp who were lined up like wooden piles, two people slowly walked out and quietly chased in the direction where the black shadow left.
After Bai Chun received the hint that he couldn't, he handed the note in his hand to Di Renjie, and then said: "Please forgive Master Di, King Yin is almost lost, and now he suspects that he has been kidnapped by others, and he is worried that it is related to Pei Yan, so he sent a slave to visit." ”
Di Renjie took advantage of the light of the lantern and carefully read the note, which was obviously written by the prince himself, so he asked, "Then I don't know if Miss Bai has seen Pei Yan?" ”
"No, after I came here, someone from Dali Temple went to inform Lord Di that you were waiting here." Bai Chun's face was calm, like ice for ten thousand years, without the slightest fluctuation.
Di Renjie pondered, nodded and said: "In this case, in order to let Miss Bai, and even more so to reassure His Royal Highness the Prince, it is better to let Di take Miss Bai to check on Fan, so that the prince can rest assured, and let Miss Bai go back to explain." ”
"That's good, then there's Lord Laudy." Bai Chun said with a calm face.
Di Renjie obviously also knows Bai Chun's habits, and he also knows that Bai Chun's smile is hard to buy, in his eyes, Bai Chun is like the princes of Zhou Youwang Beacon Fire Opera in history, and he laughs for Bo Jiaren.
But fortunately, Bai Chun's smile is not stingy with His Royal Highness the Prince. Otherwise, Di Renjie would wonder if the prince would come up with a story about the princes like King Zhou You for Bai Chunxiao.
Lawless followed behind Bai Chun and Di Renjie, and slowly walked into the prison of Dali Temple, the prison here is obviously much better than other ordinary prisons, but after entering the prison, he can still feel the clammy and cold coming instantly, even more uncomfortable than the windy and snowy night outside.
Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao, and Gao Zhi were each held in a small cell, the damp cotton quilt and some equally damp straw were a couch for them to rest, and other than that, it was an oily table and two futons, and then there was nothing left.
The whole narrow cell, the only ventilated place, is the narrow and dim passage at the door of the cell, with the gust of wind whistling in, with the wet and cold air shuttling through the narrow passage of the cell, with an unpleasant smell, and the slightest dampness, so that Pei Yan, who was huddled in the cell, couldn't help but shiver.
"Master Di, the slave maid has a request, I don't know if I should say it?" Bai Chun walked out of the cell with Di Renjie, stood in the main hall of Dali Temple, and said lightly.
"Miss Bai might as well just say it directly." Di Renjie is cunning and cunning, and he doesn't say yes or no, but only asks you to say it first, and then judges whether to agree or not according to your requirements.
Bai Chun nodded, and said with some concern: "Whether it is Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao, or Gao Zhizhou, today's life and death are not only related to the reputation of your Dali Temple, but also the life and death of His Royal Highness King Yin, so how about the slave maid request to give the three people's cells a stove and a curtain?" After all, tonight is full of wind and snow, cold and persecution, the slave and maid just now are wearing so thick, standing in the passage, they all feel cold and bone-crushing, if Pei Yan and they have three long and two short tonight, I am afraid that it is Lord Di, or the prince and others, it will not be easy to explain to Your Majesty. Therefore, Bai Chun hoped that Lord Di would agree to this reluctant request, and when King Yin was found by His Royal Highness and returned to the palace safely, it would not be too late for Lord Di to take it back. How is it? ”
"Miss Bai is thoughtful, Di admires, since this is the case, then it will be allowed, but once he finds His Royal Highness King Yin, Di will take it back as soon as possible." Di Renjie smiled and said.
"That's natural, so thank you Master Di." After Bai Chun finished speaking, he glanced at the lawlessness next to him, the two saluted Di Renjie, and then followed the eunuch assigned by Di Renjie and hurriedly went to find the stove and the door curtain.
On the other side, Li Hong drove the carriage into the West Market slowly, and the cold and snowy late night did not affect the closure of the Fang Door at all, and he continued to solicit business in the hot and crowded West Market.
The bearded girls in various wine shops, tea shops, and foreigners for entertainment are still wearing thin clothes, and on the blankets in the middle of the field, they dance gracefully and gracefully, showing their seductive figures and charming and mysterious bodies.
"Your side, please." Li Hong drove the carriage leisurely, and suddenly in the tea shop, a figure came out and stopped in front of the carriage driven by Li Hong himself.
"Woo...... Sigh...... Look for death, you, and hit you again! Li Hong's driving style was not very good, and after he hurriedly tightened the reins, he immediately scolded.
Then I heard the sound of gurgling and colliding in the carriage behind him, as well as the voices and complaints of Li Xian and Li Zhe in pain.
"You can't drive and kill me!"
"Ouch, my nose, Brother Huang, it hurts my ......."
Li Hong didn't bother to pay attention to the complaints behind him, looked the person in front of him up and down, and saw that his outfit was obviously the guy from the tea shop, so the horsewhip in his hand pointed at the guy and asked, "Are you sure you didn't stop the wrong person?" ”
"Yes, yes, there is a guest who asked me to stop you here." The tea shop guy looked at the tall Li Hong, and was reprimanded by the headless and faceless Dun just now, and said in a panic.
Li Hong followed the direction of the tea shop's fingers, saw two people standing at the door of the tea shop, and when he saw himself looking over, he respectfully saluted him, so he looked at the carriage behind him and motioned for Li Xian to get off with Li Zhe.
After the three of them got out of the car, Li Hong swaggered in front, Li Xian and Li Zhe followed behind, at this time the two of them also knew that this time was no longer the time to worry about whether there was an ambush, since they had already come, then they should be calm.
But no matter how to cheer themselves up in their hearts, whether it was Li Xian or Li Zhe, they still couldn't help but feel that their legs were trembling, and the distance from the road to the entrance of the tea shop was only about twenty steps, but it made the two of them feel like a road that never ends.
"Pei Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, King Pei, and King Ying." Pei Yi stretched out his hand and invited Li Hong to take a seat and said.
Li Hong glanced at Pei Yi, then at Xue Zhongzhang, who was saluting him, nodded lightly, and looked at the empty tea shop: "This tea shop won't be your Pei family, right?" ”
"As the prince said, it is indeed run by the Pei family." Pei Yi followed behind the three of them and said with a smile.
"Where is the old? Hurry up and hand it over, otherwise, you will be punished by the nine clans. After Li Zhe sat down, he looked at Pei Yi and asked angrily.
"King Ying, don't be impatient, King Yin is very good, and now under the service of the two palace maids, he has rested." Pei Yi stroked his beard, his eyes swept over Li Hong and the three of them, and he couldn't see the slightest estrangement between the three brothers, but there was a kind of momentum and tacit understanding of the same hatred.
"Xue Zhongzhang, as the general of the prison guard, you are hidden deep enough." Li Hong didn't ask about Li Dan's whereabouts, but looked at Xue Zhongzhang and asked lightly.
"Your Highness misunderstood, the last general just felt that Lord Pei Yan was framed by others and wronged, so he was humane with Lord Pei, and I hope to ask Your Highness that you can return Lord Pei Yan to justice." Xue Zhongzhang rubbed his hands a little nervously.
When facing the crown prince, it is completely different from what he imagined, and when he occasionally meets His Royal Highness the prince on weekdays, he does not feel so much pressure behind enemy lines as he does today.
The actions seemed leisurely, but they all made him feel nervous and numb in his scalp, which caused him psychological pressure, so that he could barely say what he had just said smoothly.
"Justice? Are you worthy? Justice is a negotiation between the strong and the strong, not a deal between the strong and the weak, and you don't understand that? Li Hong said disdainfully.
Pei Yi and Xue Zhongzhang looked at each other with ugly faces, and they found that even if they had King Yin as a hostage in their hands at this moment, when they really faced the crown prince now, the initiative they originally held was slowly disappearing.
