In the Yuanshan Temple, in the west wing, the two wings have been next to each other, and there is a wall in the middle.

Zhao Dezhao couldn't sleep tonight, so he lay on the couch with his eyes open, he couldn't figure out who it was for today's assassination, according to the temperament of Huangfu Jixun and Li Yu, he would definitely not send killers so easily, and their target was only themselves, which made Zhao Dezhao a little sad, if it wasn't for Li Yu and they sent it, who else would it be? It seems that after he returns to the city tomorrow, he will go to Yang Chang to mobilize secret agents to investigate.

Zhao Dezhao was at ease when he thought about it, but it was late at night, he was a little urgent, so he got up in his dirty clothes and went to Xijing [bathroom], the candle next door was still lit, presumably Zhou Jiamin was still sewing his robe.

"Sister Zhou." Zhao Dezhao stood at the door, knocked lightly on the door, and whispered, "Let's talk about the clothes tomorrow, you can rest first!" ”

But I heard the people inside say: "Brother Zhao, it's not in the way, the clothes will be sewn soon, and you will be able to wear them tomorrow." ”

Zhao Dezhao went to Xijing first, and after coming out, he felt the way to the bathhouse behind the temple hall, filled a wooden bucket and made some hot water, and took an empty basin and foot basin.

Outside the corridor of the West Chamber, the candle flame in Zhou Jiamin's wing room was still lit, Zhao Dezhao put down the barrel, knocked on the door and said, "Sister Zhou, you open the door first." ”

"What's the matter?" The door opened, Zhou Jiamin came out of the door, slightly tired, and caught a glimpse of the heat emitted from a wooden barrel on the ground, Zhao Dezhao was still holding a basin in his left hand, and she suddenly felt embarrassed.

Zhao Dezhao immediately carried it to the side room, and said while pouring water: "You wash your face with hot water first, and then soak your feet in hot water, you can go to get tired and warm your body." ”

Warm up, when Zhou Jiamin heard this, she suddenly felt a warm current flowing in her heart, she smiled on her face, and felt that her neck and face were flushed, it turned out that this is the case between men and women.

She nodded, "um", then lifted her sleeves with her hands, picked up the warm water in the basin, and pounced on her face, her face felt even hotter, she took the face towel from Zhao Dezhao's hand, and kept covering the face towel on her face to hide her embarrassed look.

After washing his face, Zhao Dezhao poured the footwater again, Zhou Jiamin's face at the moment looked more and more red under the light of the candle, and she said timidly: "Brother Zhao, I'll call you after I'm done." ”

Zhao Dezhao also felt that it was impolite to stare at the feet of other girls like this, so he didn't look over, "Call me after washing." ”

Zhou Jiamin sneered, she raised her feet, removed her cloth boots, and removed her shoes and socks, revealing her white and tender feet, Zhao Dezhao only heard a sound of water, Zhou Jiamin had already soaked her feet in the basin, and at the same time Zhao Dezhao was also speculating about the scene.

After a cup of tea, Zhou Jiamin said: "Brother Zhao, it's okay......"

Zhao Dezhao turned his head at the right time, half-squatted and poured all the water in the basin into the wooden bucket, and did not forget to instruct when he left: "Sister, my dress will be sewn again tomorrow, the moon is about to reach the west mountain tonight." ”

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Jiamin took the clothes over, and then said, "Brother Zhao, your clothes have been repaired, my skills are not good, so I will just leave it at that." ”

"Sister is too polite, just make up for it and wear it, even if you don't make it up, I don't think you have poor craftsmanship."

Zhou Jiamin said embarrassedly: "I hate it, everyone is embarrassed by what you said, put it on and take a look." ”

"Sister, give me clothes, and I'll put them on myself."

"Why are you like this, I'll dress you and stand up." Zhou Jiamin shook off his robe, first put the cuff of his right hand on Zhao Dezhao's right hand, and then put his left hand on it, at this moment Zhou Jiamin was already standing in front of Zhao Dezhao, she was embarrassed to stick to Zhao Dezhao's chest, Zhao Dezhao exuded a male charm, "seducing" her all the time.

She helped tie the jacket of her clothes, and then she felt that her whole person was a little uneasy, and her chest was like a deer colliding, maybe she was already tempted by this man, but he was the king of Wei Chitose of the Song Kingdom, the future king of a country, Zhou Jiamin shook his head and stopped thinking about it. But the more she restrained this thought, the more difficult it became to get rid of it, and at this moment she was nervous, and felt the soles of her feet go soft, and then her whole body was about to fall backwards.

Zhao Dezhao saw that the beauty in front of him was about to lean back, so he was excited, and held her in his arms with his arms, Zhou Jiamin in his arms was just stunned at the time, and did not make any moves, snuggled in his arms like a bird, and Zhao Dezhao held it like this.

After a while, Zhou Jiamin suddenly realized what she was doing, and she immediately broke free from Zhao Dezhao's embrace like a frightened bird, and touched her forehead with her right hand, she felt that her whole face was hot.

Zhao Dezhao saw Zhou Jiamin like this, so he asked, "Sister, are you hot?" ”

"Uh...... It's nothing, thank you for saving me! Zhou Jiamin said thoughtlessly, and after standing for a while, he whispered, "King Wei Chitose, tonight is more exposed, it is better to rest in the morning, and I will be in the city early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Dezhao didn't say anything when he saw Zhou Jiamin like this, he felt that he was also a little abrupt, and it was indeed a little embarrassing for a girl to be almost taken away by him for no reason.

He then said, "Then I'm leaving, and you should rest early!" He turned around and left the chamber, and when he took the last step out of the threshold, he stopped, turned his head, and said, "Thank you for the clothes!" ”

When Zhou Jiamin heard this, he stopped talking and went back to bed to rest, but he couldn't sleep.

In the other room, Zhao Dezhao didn't feel sleepy, tonight's situation came too fast, he couldn't clean up his heart, he lay on his side on the bed, kept thinking about that thing, and didn't sleep all night.

……

In the palace, Li Yu has not yet fallen asleep, he has been sitting in the imperial study, gradually the night is dewy, the moisture at the end of the palace pavilion also blows in, the wind on the lake blows together, the veil in the imperial study also blows, and the flame on the candlestick is also high and low.

Li Yu looked at the other side of Shicheng Lake, and at this moment, there was no news of Zhao Dezhao and Zhou Jiamin, Li Yu was very aggrieved in his heart, he loved his sister-in-law in his heart, but the sister-in-law rejected his mind because of the gossip in the palace. But now Zhou Jiamin went to the city with the King of Wei of the Song Kingdom, and now he has never returned to the city, and he doesn't know what will happen between them this night, he doesn't feel good in his heart.

When Li Yu thought of this, he angrily waved his fist and smashed it towards the desk, and the ink filled with the good inkstone on that side also flew everywhere at this moment, splashing on the table, on his body and face, but Li Yu was unaware.

The attendant outside the hall heard the sound in the imperial study and immediately entered the hall, and when the attendant saw that Li Yu had ink on his body, he immediately ordered the palace maid to bring facial water.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's important to take care of the dragon's body!"

This night, Li Yu sat all night.

……

The humidity near Shicheng Lake is heavy, the forbidden army and the government army sent by Li Yu are searching for Zhao Dezhao and Zhou Jiamin, but the huge lake, surrounded by reeds, is indeed not easy to find, a group of soldiers held torches in the night, searched around for an hour, at this time, the soldiers searching in the northeast corner suddenly found footprints on the ground.

The forbidden army immediately led the men and horses and followed the footprints to the northeast near Zhongshan and Longshan.

……

Fifteen zhang outside the Yuanshan Temple, there are already fifteen black-clothed assassins who are setting up an ambush beside the road, the leader is wearing a pair of blue-faced fanged masks, this person's name is Ouyang Yuntian, and now I heard the boss's four subordinates say that the target is in the Yuanshan Temple, and is ordering his subordinates to wait by the roadside, preparing to assassinate Zhao Dezhao on the way back to the city from the temple early tomorrow morning.

Ouyang Yuntian brought less than thirty people this time, and now half of them have ambushed Zhao Dezhao here, and the remaining half are the eyes of his master hidden in the Tang Dynasty. Fifteen people against one person, Ouyang Yuntian laughed proudly at the thought of this.

Zhao Dezhao, this time you are dead, and the master's plan is almost complete.

Now it will be dawn in half an hour, Ouyang Yuntian and the others are waiting anxiously, and at this moment, the footsteps of many horses and horses are faintly heard on the west road, which is very loud in the silent night.

"Boss Ma, go see who it is?"

Ma Zhi had already gone over there to inquire about the news, and after a cup of tea, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, Ouyang Yuntian waited left and right, and Ma Zhi was gone forever, I don't know......

At this moment, a pair of soldiers suddenly appeared on the west road, all holding torches in their hands, as if they were searching for something.

Ouyang Yuntian poked his head out from the side of the road, he knew these people.

"Quick, brothers—" He immediately ordered the remaining thirteen men to retreat, and by the time he retreated, he already knew that Ma Zhi had been kidnapped.

This soldier is the forbidden army and the government army sent by Li Yu, and they are running along the road at this moment, and this dirt road is the road to the Yuanshan Temple.

"Straight lady thief, if you lose a King of Wei, let Lao Tzu come to search so hard, if it weren't for Your Majesty's kindness and unwillingness to make a big move, my Emperor Fu Jixun was the first to kill you to avenge his father!" Huangfu Jixun led this group of soldiers to search for Zhao Dezhao and the two of them, and not far away was the mountain gate of the Yuanshan Temple.

Among the Huangfu Jixun people, Ma Zhi has been tied up at the moment, and he doesn't know how this situation can happen tonight, fortunately, Ouyang Yuntian and they have already retreated with the men and horses first, but today's assassination failed, and the assassination of the people and horses in ambush tonight also failed, and he was captured again.

At dawn, Huangfu Jixun has appeared at the gate of the Yuanshan Temple, and the surrounding soldiers are also standing outside the temple gate.

Early in the morning, the bell of the Death Temple has been ringing, the bell of the ancient temple is coiled, knocking eighteen times, knocking eighteen times slowly, knocking eighteen times unhurriedly, a total of one hundred and eight times after the bell rings, the mountain gate of the Temple of Death has been opened.

The little novice who sprinkled water and swept the court had already gone out, so Huangfu Jixun immediately stepped forward and asked, "Little Master, I saw someone passing by last night and staying in the temple for a night?" ”

"That's true, if the donor waits here, I'll inform the abbot."

"There's Master Lao."
