At first, Li Cunhuan was still in the mood to deal with some official documents in the carriage and watch the scenery along the road through the window, but after a long time, Li Cunhuan was tired. Ancient horse-drawn carriages had no shock absorbers, and the road was mostly gravel. Gravel roads are not asphalt or concrete.

But fortunately, Li Cunhuan is the envoy of the Four Towns, not to mention anything else, his carriage is still very good, the carriage is paved with a layer of soft cotton, down, and a bed, and there is a cotton paste on the front and back of the carriage to keep warm, Li Cunhuan did not take long to fall asleep, and he felt stable when he fell asleep.

After I don't know how long, Pu Leshu knocked on the carriage and said respectfully: "Your Highness! Your Royal Highness, you have arrived at the Heyang Temple in Niushan, Qingzhou. ”

"And what time is it?" Li Cunhuan got up and asked a little confused.

"It's time!" Park Lechu replied respectfully.

Unitary time refers to dusk, which generally refers to the time when chickens return to their nests.

"Ahh It's so late! Li Cunhuan pinched his fingers and found that he had slept for nearly seven hours, picked up his clothes from the hook of the carriage, put them on, and opened the carriage.

A gust of cold wind swept by, Li Cunhuan couldn't help but shiver, Li Cunhuan smiled bitterly: "At the age of twenty-six, I can't resist the cold wind, it seems that these years of rich life make people live too comfortably!" ”

Park Lejiao brought a stool to the side and put it under the carriage so that Li Cunhuan could get off the car. Hearing this, he smiled and comforted: "Your Highness is only twenty-six years old, and he has already learned from that Liu Bei or something." ”

"It's a sigh of flesh!" Guo Chongtao added on the side.

Li Cunhuan got out of the carriage and smiled, not dwelling on this issue too much. Looking at Heyang Temple, the scenery of Heyang Temple is indeed charming, a plum blossom crosses the half-zhang high wall, sticks out of the wall, and the slightly pink plum blossom is very charming.

An old monk wearing a robe walked over quickly, clasped his hands together and said to Li Cunhuan: "Amitabha! The poor monk Deyuan is far away! It's a great sin. ”

"The master is gracious!" Li Cunhuan also folded his hands to the old monk Deyuan and said politely.

"Your Highness, please! The poor monk was already preparing his meal. The old monk Deyuan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, bowed slightly and said politely.

The old monk Deyuan didn't talk about eating, but when it came to eating, Li Cunhuan felt hungry with his belly sticking to his back. He only remembered that he fell asleep today, and it was estimated that Park Lejiao didn't dare to disturb himself, and he didn't wake up at noon to eat at the inn where he was resting. Li Cunhuan was also unkind, "So it's troublesome for the master!" ”

"Your Highness is too polite! Please! The old monk Deyuan said that he would lead the way in front.

Li Cunhuan was also very happy about the old monk Deyuan's knowledge, so he instructed Pu Lejiao beside him: "Go and get fifty guan out and give it to Heyang Temple as incense money." ”

"Yes!" Park Leja hurriedly responded.

"How does this work?" When the old monk Deyuan heard this, he smiled and couldn't see his eyes, this is fifty times! It is equivalent to the harvest of more than 100 acres of fertile land in a year. However, the old monk Deyuan is still polite on his mouth, otherwise the appearance is too ugly.

After receiving Li Cunhuan's fifty yuan, the old monk Deyuan worked harder to accept the scenery of Heyang Temple and the allusions of Buddhism, but unfortunately Li Cunhuan lacked interest in these things. And the old monk Deyuan can't do anything else, but the look is no worse than those old fritters in the officialdom, as soon as he saw Li Cunhuan's lack of interest, he immediately accelerated his pace, and he was not satisfied with introducing the scenery.

The scenery along the way Li Cunhuan asked, then he answered, Li Cunhuan didn't ask, so he chose some famous scenery to introduce, and saw that Li Cunhuan was interested, so he elaborated, Li Cunhuan was not very interested, and immediately made a long story short.

Soon came to the canteen, all the dishes were ready, Li Cunhuan glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning.

The old monk Deyuan glanced at it, and couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't know that the greeting was not well received there, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, I don't know how this meal is?" Dissatisfied? ”

Li Cunhuan said: "It's good, but I'm surrounded by people in the ranks." You also know that in the bloody battle on the battlefield, what is fought is physical strength, not to mention anything else, this meat must be enough, otherwise those dozens of catties of iron armor will be on you, let alone killing thieves. Walking two steps also makes you gasp. ”

"That's it! Lao Tzu is meatless and unhappy! "When a soldier in the back heard this, he saw His Royal Highness King Qin supporting him! Immediately shouted, they really have no meat and no joy.

The old monk Deyuan was sweating profusely, and he put his hands together and said: "Please forgive your highness, Buddhism must not kill." The poor monks really don't have any meat here, and now the weather is freezing and the sky is already dark, and there is nothing to sell if you want to go to the market to buy it. Your Highness, look at ......"

"What? There is no meat, Lao Tzu slaughtered you, an old monk, to drink! "When the arrogant Iron Eagle soldiers heard this, everyone was really angry, and they used to say that they were all big bowls of wine and big pieces of meat, and today they have no meat to eat, isn't this the same as asking a rich man to eat black steamed buns as rice and ask people to do chores?

The frightened old monk Deyuan stumbled and almost fell, he was an old monk, and the people he usually received were polite, and he had seen such a vicious person there.

"Don't be rude!" Li Cunhuan frowned and said in a low voice, but his voice was not loud, but it made the soldiers of the Iron Eagle hurriedly close their mouths. They can not listen to the words of the king of heaven, but they dare not listen to Li Cunhuan's words.

"Rude Master!" Li Cunhuan stretched out his hand to help the old monk Deyuan and said slightly apologetically.

"It doesn't matter! Anyway! Hearing this, the old monk Deyuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with a wry smile. What else can he do?

"Isn't there some jerky in the baggage? Pu Leji, you took someone to take it down, borrowed it from the master's kitchen, boiled it in boiling water, and distributed it to everyone to eat! Li Cunhuan turned his head sideways and commanded Park Le.

"No!" Park Leji replied loudly.

Hearing Li Cunhuan's words, the old monk Deyuan couldn't help but be shocked, this is a Buddhist place, and he actually eats meat! And it's above board, it's okay! The old monk Deyuan had the heart to say no, but the words reached his throat, and after two laps, this word fell back into his stomach, and he didn't dare to put a fart. It's all because of the old monk Deyuan that Li Cunhuan didn't look at him as courteous to him, but Li Cunhuan was able to fight from Hebei to Liaodong, and then from Liaodong to the Central Plains, such a person was decisive in killing. I don't know how much blood is on his hands, does he dare to say anything? It doesn't have to be like that for a long time.

Soon the soldiers served several large plates of broth, and although the broth made from dried meat was not as good as the broth made from fresh meat, it was better to eat it than not to have it. But after a while, the soldiers picked up the wine in their skins and drank it, and the old monk Deyuan put his hands together, recited Amitabha, and closed his eyes so that he could not see it. The helplessness in my heart!

But fortunately, the soldiers of Tieyingdu were also measured and didn't drink too much, not to give face to the old monk Deyuan. But Li Cunhuan has a rule that you can drink alcohol in winter, but that is used to warm up your body, so you are not allowed to drink too much. Otherwise, Heyang Temple, the holy place of Buddhism in Qingzhou, would have already been drunk, and at that time, the old monk Deyuan didn't know if he would be angry because he had no face to see the presiding officers of the past dynasties?

After drinking and eating, everyone except for those who arranged to stand guard, the rest went back to sleep in the guest room arranged by the old monk Deyuan. Li Cunhuan slept in the carriage for nearly seven hours, but at this time he was very energetic, lying on the bed tossing and turning and no one came down, and he was not in the mood to continue sleeping. He got up, put on a robe, and went out into the courtyard, where he sat down in the wood-planked corridor.

I suddenly remembered the second letter that Han Yanhui wrote to myself yesterday, and I don't know why, I suddenly wanted to see it. Fortunately, in winter, it was freezing cold, and Li Cunhuan did not change it, and yesterday's letter happened to be stuffed in his robe. Li Cunhuan took it out, took advantage of the moonlight, looked at it carefully a few times, and suddenly his face changed slightly.

Li Cunhuan hurriedly got up and shouted, "Someone! Come! ”

A rush of footsteps sounded, and two soldiers with unsheathed Tang knives rushed over, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Li Cunhuan standing there alone, as if nothing had happened. With the tip of the knife pointing down, he clasped his hands into fists and said, "I've seen His Highness, I don't know what happened?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person running in disheveled clothes, and shouted: "Your Highness! Nothing, right? ”

The two soldiers didn't care who was coming, and hurriedly protected Li Cunhuan, and the Tang knife in his hand was erected. When the man walked in, it turned out to be Pu Lejiao, so he slightly relaxed his tense mind and put away the Tang knife in his hand.

"Your Highness, what's going on!" Park Lejiao obviously came in a hurry, it was freezing cold, and he was just wearing a white middle coat. The sleeves of the robe are just above the elbows, and the feet of the robe are just above the knees. It is usually worn as underwear, but Pu Le did not forget the identity of the martial artist, and although he came in a hurry, he still held a Tang knife with a scabbard in his hand.

"Wake everyone up at once! I'm afraid Wang Shifan is going to be reversed! Li Cunhuan said in a deep voice.

When Park Lejiao and the two soldiers heard this, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, and Park Lejiao looked at Li Cunhuan's face and saw that Li Cunhuan's face was solemn, not like a joke. didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Yes!" ”

"Be fast!" Li Cunhuan then admonished.

The two soldiers on duty heard that Wang Shifan was going to rebel, although they didn't know what was going on, they didn't dare to continue on duty, and they didn't dare to put the Tang knife in their hands into the scabbard. took the Tang knife and protected Li Cunhuan back to the room.

Fortunately, Li Cunhuan has been fighting in all directions over the years, and he has not relaxed at all, and his luggage is equipped with a set of full-body plate armor and a set of Mingguang armor. The two soldiers hurriedly put the Tang knife on the table, picked up the whole body plate armor from the luggage, and prepared to wear it for Li Cunhuan.

"No!" Li Cunhuan refused, "Although the whole body plate armor is safe, it also has obvious shortcomings, that is, it is too heavy. If you encounter an enemy, it will not be easy to break through. But if you don't meet the enemy, you delay time. Let's wear bright light armor! ”

"Yes!" The two soldiers hurriedly put down their whole body plate armor and put it on for Li Cunhuan, but after a while, Li Cunhuan was already dressed neatly, but unfortunately he was not equipped with a heavy weapon, and he was just holding a Tang knife in his hand.

Li Cunhuan held the Tang knife in his hand and strode out of the corridor, at this time the corridor was already in chaos, the monks probed their brains from the half-hidden doors and windows, the soldiers of the Iron Eagle Capital were anxiously wearing armor, and some sundries were decisively abandoned.

It didn't take long for him to see a person coming over, and Li Cunhuan fixed his eyes to see it, but it was Yang Shihou. His face was slightly gloomy, and he came to Li Cunhuan and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what's going on?" ”

Li Cunhuan didn't talk nonsense, he went straight to the point, and said a long story short: "In Han Yanhui's letter to me, Wang Shifan seemed to be neglectful to him at first, and when Wang Shifan was assassinated, Han Yanhui personally went to visit him, but when he said goodbye, he sent a tooth general to send him out. And he's there on my behalf! This undoubtedly shows that Wang Shifan is dissatisfied with me in his heart, although I don't know what the reason is. But the next day, that is, the second letter sent by Han Yanhui, Wang Shifan was very enthusiastic about him, and he took the initiative, and happily gave up Pinglu Domain. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! ”

Yang Shihou is also a decisive person, and immediately said: "What His Highness said is very true, but it is too arbitrary to rely on this alone, otherwise it is necessary to lead troops down the mountain, which can facilitate the breakthrough and not leave." Then send someone to find out the situation, in case Wang Fan rebels, there must be something wrong! It will not be too late for His Highness to leave when the time comes. ”

"No need!" Guo Chongtao's face looked a little ugly and walked over quickly, interrupting Yang Shihou's words.

"Hmm!" When Yang Shihou heard this, his face immediately darkened. Anyone who opposes them for no reason will also be dissatisfied, not to mention that an old minister like Yang Shihou has long been at odds with Guo Chongtao, an upstart.

"When I heard the soldier's words just now, I felt that His Highness's words might be a bit arbitrary. I immediately went to the abbot of Heyang Temple and asked Wang Shifan if he or Pinglu Chongchen had come to his own situation. After all, if Wang Shifan wants to rebel, it is best to naturally be Heyang Temple, so he will naturally investigate the situation. Sure enough, Abbot Deyuan said a strange thing today, his eldest disciple, went to Wang Shifan's mansion to play with Wang Shifan today, and Wang Shifan smelled a strange word. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Chongtao's face became even more ugly, paused, and then said: "Wang Shifan asked, I don't know how deep the trench outside Heyang Temple is?" Deyuan's eldest disciple was puzzled, saying that there was no trench outside Heyang Temple, why did he ask this question? Wang Shifan smiled and said nothing, and soon changed the topic. ”

As soon as Guo Chongtao finished saying this, Li Cunhuan and Yang Shihou immediately knew that Wang Shifan was not afraid of the opposite, but definitely reversed!

"Quick! Everybody's on the horse! Wang Shifan asked if there was a trench, he must be preparing to run quickly with the horse army as the pioneer! Yang Shihou said urgently, and there was a rare fear in his tone.

"I'll make him regret it! Whatever his reason! Li Cunhuan's voice was filled with indescribable resentment.

"Your Highness! I'm afraid that Wang Shifan's soldiers and horses will come soon, so get on your horse quickly! Leave first! Guo Chongtao hurriedly suggested, after all, it is night, and in the daytime today, many Iron Eagle soldiers did not get up in time, and they are still wearing armor.

"......" Li Cunhuan was silent, Guo Chongtao's opinion was correct, but he was unwilling to give up his soldiers. Although he stayed probably, a moment when the breakout killed more soldiers.

"Your Highness, please!" Yang Shihou also put aside his hostility towards Guo Chongtao at this critical time and strongly supported Guo Chongtao's opinion.

After a little hesitation, Li Cunhuan gritted his teeth and shouted: "Go!" ”

Guo Chongtao and Yang Shihou both couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Guo Chongtao hugged his fists and said, "Your Highness, go quickly!" The last will stay in Heyang Temple and delay time! ”

"No!" When Li Cunhuan heard this, he was shocked.

"Your Highness! Those who have achieved great things should not hesitate, let's go! Yang Shihou glanced at Guo Chongtao deeply, took Li Cunhuan's arm and left.

Li Cunhuan struggled slightly, and let out a long sigh, full of endless unwillingness.

"Your Highness, be cautious all the way. An Shi (Guo Chongtao's character) may not be able to continue to assist His Highness! An Shi is really worthy of His Highness's reuse and trust! Guo Chongtao looked at Li Cunhuan's back with complicated eyes, and muttered in a voice that only he heard.

Guo Chongtao immediately raised his head and said decisively: "The rest of the Iron Eagle Soldiers, with this place as the center, immediately start arming!" Be sure to delay until His Highness's rescue! ”

"No!" The soldiers of the Iron Eagle Capital who had just come out flashed with grief and indignation on their faces, and immediately resolutely responded.

"Your Highness, get on the horse!" A soldier came with a tall horse.

Li Cunhuan was not polite, and quickly jumped on the war horse. Immediately, soldiers handed over spears, bows, and arrows. Li Cunhuan quickly hung them on the saddle, waved the Tang knife in his hand, and shouted: "Go!" ”

The soldier immediately shouted: "Drive! The horse followed Li Cunhuan, but as soon as he got out of Heyang Temple, Li Cunhuan was dumbfounded, there was no way, he didn't know the road, so a soldier who knew the road was replaced and walked all the way with a torch.

As soon as he went down to the halfway up the mountain, he saw a fire snake in the distance coming straight from the direction of Qingzhou, Li Cunhuan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, he knew that this was probably not good, so he looked up at the moonlight. It's only half an hour, about ten o'clock in the evening. But I didn't want Wang Shifan to send troops so decisively.

"Your Highness, how is it doing?" Seeing this, Park Le couldn't help but ask with a worried face.

Li Cunhuan couldn't help but hesitate, the mountains are not the same as the flat land, although he can walk the horse, but he can't run the horse. And now it's night, so you have to be more careful when walking, otherwise a horse will stumble, and you'll have a lot of fun. Waiting to roll down the mountain, breaking your two or three ribs is normal, and it is your life to send you to the king of Yama. Therefore, even if you hurry, you can't go anywhere, and I'm afraid that you will be blocked at the foot of the mountain by the army sent by Wang Shifan. If ordinary people are afraid that they will choose to return to Heyang Temple, there is a place to defend in the end.

However, Li Cunhuan was Li Cunhuan in the end, and immediately shouted decisively: "Go down the mountain!" God stops and kills God! The Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha! ”

The voice was full of stirring domineering, and Park Lezhu and the others no longer hesitated, and immediately accelerated their steps down the mountain.
