Chapter 167: Turning Back to the Shore (Part II)

An Ruoxi smiled bitterly: "It is really difficult to ask the prince to forgive the servant." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info maid recently got the heart of the teacher's teachings, often in the Tibetan scripture hall to copy Buddhist scriptures, such as entering the Buddhist door, the heart is still attached to the red dust, to participate in the worldly disputes, will inevitably incur the Buddha's reprimand. ”

She didn't seem to be able to bear to see Yang Guang's disappointed expression, hesitated for a moment, and added: "The servant used to be the blue eyes of the prince, and often placed the responsibility of the heart, but there was no retribution, although it could not be as the prince wished, as the eyes and ears were served, but I was also willing to take the opportunity to meet the prince here, and said a little more, hoping to help the prince." It's just that the prince has to promise me one thing first. ”

Yang Guang heard that her attitude was very resolute, leaving no room for negotiation, and he couldn't help but feel lost, and when he heard An Ruoxi say that he was willing to help him analyze the case, he knew that she was smart, and couldn't help but turn his worries into joy, and immediately asked impatiently: "What, do you think the real murderer is not in the temple?" ”

"There is no one living near this Wanshanni Temple, since the prince expected that the real murderer escaped here through the secret passage, if she doesn't hide in the temple, where can she go?" An Ruoxi's clear face showed an unpredictable expression, and she asked Yang Guangdao, "The prince hasn't agreed to what I just mentioned?" ”

"This ...... I can only promise you that from now on, I will never look for you in the temple again. Although Yang Guang promised like this in his mouth, he thought in his heart: Only if you are willing to help me solve this case, follow the vine, and catch Nan Chen's spy leader Guan Zizi, and then I will recall you back to the mansion after I get my mother, but I can't help you.

Where would An Ruoxi think that Yang Guang played word games with her, and did not seriously agree to her request, listening to Yang Guang's face-to-face promise not to disturb himself in the temple in the future, he seemed quite happy for a while, and looked at the direction of Wanshanni Temple and said to Yang Guang: "Does the prince know what kind of temple this Wanshanni Temple is?" As far as the maid knows, among the three existing teachers in the temple, the abbot has to enter the palace once or twice a month to meet the queen's mother, and recently she is going to enter the palace every three or five places; Since what the prince just said, the prince of the East Palace has sent people to the temple to see the favorite master of the guest, since that day, among the twelve hours a day in the temple, there is no hour to stop the monks and nuns who go back and forth; In order to avoid suspicion, the mind teacher recently recruited me, a newcomer to the temple, to accompany her to copy Buddhist scriptures in the Tibetan scripture hall. The prince thinks that in such a nunnery temple, can the real murderer be hidden? ”

Even though he knew in advance that Wanshanni Temple had a special status among the temples in Chang'an, at this time, when he heard that An Ruoxi clearly divided the monks and nuns in the temple into three factions, Yang Guang still felt inexplicably surprised: he couldn't imagine that a nun temple that looked calm on the surface was so concerned by the queen mother and eldest brother.

At this time, there were bursts of melodious bells in Wanshanni Temple, but in Yang Guang's ears, the bells of this Buddhist temple were like the sound of war drums when a dark war had just begun. He stared at the temple for a long time, and asked An Ruoxi in confusion: "You mean to say that even if Hua Gu escaped here from the secret passage, it is difficult to hide in the temple, but there is no place for her to hide near this Wanshanni Temple, when the forbidden army followed her here, she has disappeared, according to you, where will she flee to?" ”

When An Ruoxi heard the bell from the temple, his face changed, his palms were folded, and he said to Yang Guang: "The Buddha said: 'The sea of bitterness is boundless, and turning back is the shore. 'Lord, it's time for lunch in the temple, and the maid is going back. I hope what the maid just said can help the prince. Please allow the servant to leave. ”

Yang Guang listened to her words before he got up, and he was anxious to leave, although he was reluctant in his heart, but then he thought that An Ruoxi was held hostage by Zhang Xutuo from the Tibetan Scripture Hall to see him, and if he was discovered, he would have abandoned his previous efforts, so he had to nod and say to her: "I will order someone to send you back." ”

"Don't dare to have Lord Lao, the servant has his own way to deal with it. But I hope that the prince will do it himself. An Ruoxi bowed to Yang Guang, turned around calmly, and walked out of the woods.

Although An Ruoxi's performance today is much calmer and more relaxed than when she confessed to herself in the abbot of Wanshanni Temple last time that she was a traitor, but for some reason, Yang Guang can clearly feel that there is an unusually firm heart under her gentle face. It seems that his original plan to persuade her to act as an internal response, and then summon her back to his side, is about to fail.

"Lord Wang, why did she leave alone? Do you want to ......" Zhang Xutuo ran in from outside the woods, pointed to An Ruoxi's back and asked Yang Guangdao.

"No need." Yang Guang shook his head gloomily, and instructed Zhang Xutuo, "You are still waiting outside the woods, I want to be alone quietly." ”

"The bitter sea is boundless, and the shore is the back." The words An Ruoxi said before leaving flashed in Yang Guang's mind again: was she persuading herself not to bother her again, or did she mean something else?

Yang Guang turned around, his eyes fell on the wooden sign that marked the exit of the secret passage of the stone house courtyard again, and lowered his head to think about every word An Ruoxi had just said: Since An Ruoxi clearly said that she wanted to guide herself, then every word she had just said would not be untargeted, so she said it in passing.

Thinking about it along this line of thought, after a short time, Yang Guang had already come to a conclusion: An Ruoxi had clearly hinted to himself that on the night of the inventory of the stone house courtyard, Hua Gu did not escape here through the secret passage!

Yes, it must be. Originally, I only thought that Hua Gu escaped from the secret passage to the vicinity of Wanshanni Temple, and there was no other place for her to hide, but she would only hide in the temple, or even she was originally a monk or nun hidden in the temple, but she didn't expect that Wanshanni Temple was always under the strict precautions of the queen mother and eldest brother because of the placement of hundreds of concubines and wives of the previous dynasty.

"The bitter sea is boundless, and turning back is the shore". Yang Guang's gaze followed the path of the secret passage underground all the way into the distance, and in an instant, he realized the true intention of An Ruoxi's chant of this Buddha name before parting: she wanted to hint that she would go back and investigate the stone house courtyard!

"Xian Yu Luo." Once he realized the true intention of An Ruoxi's words, Yang Guang no longer hesitated, and immediately shouted loudly outside the woods.

"The little one is here, what does the prince command?" Xian Yu Luo Yingsheng trotted in from outside the woods.

"You go to the Great Solemn Temple now to inform Yu Juluo, and ask him to take someone to the stone house courtyard to meet me immediately. Zhang Xutuo, go with this king. Yang Guang gave an order to Xian Yuluo as he walked quickly out of the woods.

"Lord Wang, ...... you" Xian Yuluo was worried about Yang Guang's safety, and was about to open his mouth to remind him to bring more people with him, but saw that Yang Guang had already walked out of the woods and turned around and left with Zhang Xutuo. (To be continued.) )
