Although Yang Guang and An Ruoxi both felt that what Jiang Tuozi said was reasonable, the two talked privately and still believed that this might not be the main reason why the people north of Fenzhou no longer saw anyone inciting trouble in the name of Buddhism.

"Lord, I've been thinking about it these days, why did Senior Sister Remnant know so many things about 'killing Huzhai' in the Guanzhong area, and then connect it with the two Bodhisattvas we heard about before and after leaving the customs, maybe your original judgment was right, and it is very likely that the root of this matter is still in the temple in Chang'an City."

Hearing An Ruoxi once again take the initiative to mention the former queen of the dynasty who died by suicide, Zhu Manyue (disabled), Yang Guang asked her curiously: "According to you, could it be that the disabled person was coerced and found in desperation?" ”

An Ruoxi shook her head: "What I told the prince before is the truth. In the days before the handicapped senior sister hanged herself, I copied the scriptures in the Tibetan scripture pavilion in the temple from morning to night, and rarely met with her, until she died, I was worried that she was harmed, and was forced to find a short sight, so I sent Shen'er back to the house to report to the mother and the prince. ”

"I think I had the intention to ask you to be my inner response in the Wanshanni Temple, to help thoroughly investigate the spies that may be hidden in the temple, and you instructed me in the grove outside the temple to go back and carefully inspect the stone house courtyard, and the result was really a great harvest." After the lingering and sad night in Tongguan, Yang Guang already regarded An Ruoxi as the closest person to him, so in addition to deliberately avoiding mentioning the "Wild Goose's Nest" and Guan Zizai, he no longer hid other investigations from her, and explained to her softly while walking with her, "But now, why do you suspect that there may be a traitor hiding in a certain temple in Chang'an?" Is it because of these two bodhisattvas we met? ”

An Ruoxi thought for a while, and replied affirmatively: "It's mainly because of the death of Senior Sister Remnant, which has always made me suspicious. Coupled with what we have seen and heard along the way, I am even more convinced that the prince's original judgment is likely to be right. ”

Yang Guang originally suspected that there was Nan Chen's spy hidden in Wanshanni Temple, mainly based on the inference that the secret passage to the grove outside the temple was found when he checked the stone house courtyard at night, and there was no other more evidence. ”

"When I heard General Yang in Tongguan mention that the Bodhisattva was 'killing Hu Zhai' everywhere and Lianzhai killing Hu, I didn't have such an idea. It wasn't until I met the old boatman who openly extorted our money and goods at the Mengjin Ferry, and heard from him that the 36th was unveiled and the eighth day of the lunar month was going to gather in Chang'an, that I suddenly became alert, if this Bodhisattva did not have an internal response in a certain temple in Chang'an City, how could he persuade people to rush to Chang'an to celebrate the Buddha's enlightenment? If Senior Sister Remnant said that she had had a relationship with a certain 'Hu Killing Village' before her death, would she also be involved in it? From these two points, I suspect that the real initiator may be hiding in a Buddhist temple in Chang'an. ”

Yang Guang nodded on horseback, agreeing with An Ruoxi's analysis and inference, but then, a new question appeared in his mind.

"Ruoxi, then you say, will this person be hidden in the Wanshanni Monastery where you once practiced? Also, because Wanshanni Temple has placed hundreds of concubines and concubines of the previous dynasty, hasn't the abbot always been directly obedient to the queen mother, why would the eldest brother force you to return the customs and send you back to me without the queen mother's knowledge? ”

An Ruoxi suddenly smiled at Yang Guang, and asked half-coquettishly and half-jokingly: "What, when I return to the prince, is the prince unhappy?" ”

"Oh no." Yang Guang hurriedly shook his head and explained seriously, "It's just that after so many days, now that I think about it, I am a little puzzled in my heart: how could the eldest brother hide from the queen mother and quietly take you out of the temple and send you to me?" ”

An Ruoxi sighed secretly, and said in her heart: Why don't you ask yourself, what is the purpose of your eldest brother doing this?

However, this could never be said to Yang Guang by his own identity, and An Ruoxi had no choice but to reply to Yang Guang's question: "Don't forget, the prince is the prince, and he is in charge of the government, what is there in the Chang'an court that he can't do." ”

"Isn't that strict master afraid to bear the responsibility for the eldest brother, once the queen mother learns about it......" Yang Guang was halfway through his words, and then he suddenly remembered that he had taken An Ruoxi by his side and took her out of the town and the state together, wouldn't he risk being punished by the queen mother after learning the truth, so he didn't continue.

"Lord Wang, it seems that you really don't know about the situation in Wanshanni Temple. Although the abbot of the temple is directly obedient to the queen's mother, because her position as the abbot should be done by the mind master to serve the public, she is not in the right position, so she deliberately collaborated in the temple to obey the prince's favorite teacher, and suppressed the mind master in every possible way. After a long time, she naturally got in touch with the prince, and the reason why Mrs. Xinyan was willing to agree to the prince and force the maid to return to the vulgar was most likely to have received the prince's promise in advance, guaranteeing that she would not be punished by the queen for this matter, so she would act like this. An Ruoxi saw that Yang Guang still didn't understand the key, so he simply told Yang Guang what he had learned in the temple in the past few months.

When Yang Guang heard this, his mouth was wide open, and he was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time: he would never have imagined that there would be such intrigue in the monastery where the monks practiced.

"Ruoxi, from now on, I will not allow you to call yourself a maidservant." Because of the power struggle between the queen mother and the eldest brother, Yang Guang didn't want to talk about it more, and when he came back to his senses, he said to An Ruoxi seriously.

"A handmaid is a handmaiden, and the prince does not allow me to call myself a handmaiden, so how should I call myself?" An Ruoxi seemed to blurt out, and seemed to deliberately ask Yang Guang.

"Well, stay in Bingzhou, and after a while, I will give you a satisfactory explanation." Yang Guang's lips tightened and he replied in the affirmative.

An Ruoxi's face flushed, and he said that he wanted to find Jiang Tuozi to understand the customs and customs in Hebei, and hurriedly urged the mount, but left first.

Looking at An Ruoxi's departing back, Yang Guang carefully recalled every word she had just said to herself, and suddenly noticed that An Ruoxi seemed to have something hidden in her heart, and she didn't tell herself.

Could it be that she also deduced that the two Bodhisattvas in Guanzhong and Guandong were instructed by the Buddha of the Nanchen Imperial Court to go deep into the people to incite rebellion? She had repeatedly mentioned the crippled death in front of herself, but was there anything else in it that she couldn't tell herself? After the eldest brother received his letter, he didn't know what to do?

With so many confusions and questions in his heart, Yang Guang secretly made up his mind: even if he was thousands of miles away in Bingzhou, he would try to dig out the Nanchen hidden stake hidden in Chang'an City and capture the real head of the "Wild Goose's Nest" - Guan Zizai.
