Time was very tight, Mingyue and a few other ladies cleaned up a little, and then got into two carriages, followed by more than a dozen maid women and two eunuchs who were in charge of contacting the temple, in addition, there were more than a hundred Li Qing'an's personal soldiers guarding around the carriage.

"Wu Niang, aren't you really going with us?" Mingyue asked with a smile as she got into the carriage.

Gao Wu looked a little preoccupied, and she reluctantly smiled: "Go ahead!" I want to see a friend. ”

"Oh well! Remember to come back early at noon. ”

"I know."

Mingyue was no longer reluctant to Gao Wu, and hurriedly went in the carriage, Gao Wu stood in the courtyard for a long time before he sighed lowly, although she came to Chang'an with Li Qing'an, it does not mean that she can appear with Li Qing'an's family at will, once Nan Tang knows that she lives in Li Qing'an's mansion, her father will have a surname to worry about, this Gao Wu is very clear, she is very careful.

And before her father left Nantang, she couldn't have anything to do with Li Qingan, even if Li Qingan was willing to marry her, she couldn't agree, she was a filial daughter, she couldn't hurt her father for herself.

Last night, Mingyue talked to her and was willing to let her enter the door, which made Gao Wu happy and sad, although she had waited for ten years for this day, but at the last moment, she still politely refused Mingyue, she was just Li Qingan's sister, she never had the luxury of marrying him.

Gao Wu went to the stable to lead her horse, and today she was going to Bao'en Temple to make a wish to her father, hoping that he would leave Nantang as soon as possible, be safe and sound, and reunite the whole family in Chang'an.

She led the horses to the side yard, put the harness in place, and led the horses out.

Gao Wu had just gone out, but he saw Mingzhu riding a little donkey in a hurry, "Mingzhu! Gao Wu smiled and said hello.

Yesterday Mingzhu's aunt was a little sick, that is, Pei Min's wife was sick, Mingzhu and her mother went to visit her aunt, this morning I heard that Rushi came back, she hurried over, just arrived at the door, she heard someone call her, when she turned around, she saw that it was Gao Wu, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Sister Wu, when did you come?" ”

"I came with them yesterday, and I happened to meet them in Anxi, so I came back together."

Gao Wu didn't want to tell Mingzhu that Li Qingan brought her here, and she smiled again: "You're here to find your sister!" It's a pity you're a step late. ”

"Where did they go?" Mingzhu asked with some annoyance, the guys didn't even wait for her.

"I've gone to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, but just left, you speed up, and maybe you can catch up."

"Humph! Why am I chasing them? If you don't call me, I won't go!" ”

Mingzhu saw that Gao Wu was going out, so he smiled and said, "Sister Wu, where are you going?" ”

"I want to go to another monastery, and my mother used to take me to Bao'en Temple."

"I know, it's the temple in Chongdefang! I also go there often. ”

Mingzhu clapped her hands and smiled, she salivated, took Gao Wu's hand and begged, "Sister Wu, you can take me with you!" I'm so bored by myself. ”

"You can go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace!"

"I'm not going! My sister pulls her face all day long and puts the princess on the shelf, so I don't want to pay attention to her, Sister Wu, I'll go with you. ”

Gao Wu was a little embarrassed, she was going to go to the Buddha to make a wish for her father, but it didn't matter if she thought about it, she made a wish in her heart, and she didn't let Mingzhu know, and Gao Wu also liked this lively and naughty little girl, so she smiled a little and said: "Okay then!" Let's go together. ”

Mingzhu was overjoyed, she urged the little donkey, and went to Chongde Fang with Gao Wu.

On the way, Mingzhu saw that Gao Wu's horse was abnormal, and couldn't help but say with envy: "Sister Wu, why is your horse so tall?" I don't think many men's horses in Chang'an are as good as your horses. ”

Gao Wu stroked his beloved war horse and smiled: "This is a Dawan war horse, it is a little more majestic than an ordinary war horse, not to mention the ordinary horse of Chang'an, I named it Agni, it was specially given to me by my father, don't underestimate it, it has participated in several battles, especially the battle of Nanzhao, if this horse didn't save me, I would have died on the battlefield." ”

Hearing that Gao Wu had fought, Mingzhu's eyes were full of reverence, and said: "Sister Wu, you are so powerful, you can still fight with men, I think you are the only woman in Chang'an City who has ever fought." ”

Gao Wu smiled and said, "There are many female soldiers who go into battle!" The Anxi Army has it, the Jiannan Army also has it, and I heard that Geshuhan and An Lushan also have it, but it's nothing! I'm afraid I'm really the only one in the middle girl. ”

"Oh! Will Sister Wu go to the battlefield in the future? ”

Gao Wu's face was slightly red, whether she could go to the battlefield or not was probably up to Li Qing'an, she couldn't help herself, but she didn't want to talk about it, so she changed the topic and smiled: "Mingzhu, you are actually very powerful!" Back then, you actually ran to Gongyue City alone, I have been there, there are many wild wolves along the way, you are really courageous. ”

"Hmm!" Mingyue puffed up her chest, that incident was an experience she had always been proud of, she didn't know how many people she had shown off, but no one had ever told her that there were wild wolves on the road, she suddenly reacted and exclaimed: "Sister Wu, you lie to me!" How can there be wild wolves? ”

"I won't lie to you, the area around Huangcaobo is the most famous three wild wolf haunts in Anxi, I walked over there twice, and I met wild wolves both times, so business travelers don't dare to go alone, they must be together."

Mingzhu's eyes widened, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes, she trembled all over, and her heart palpitated: "Even if you kill me, I won't go again, there is a wild wolf, no wonder Brother Li wants to give me a diamond as a reward!" It turned out that it was my little life in exchange, and if I don't do it, I have to ask him for something again, I can't cheap him, and I almost lost my life. ”

"Didn't you encounter a wolf? Well in front of me. ”

Gao Wu's age is actually a few years older than Mingzhu, and she was also very active in the past, and was nicknamed 'tall chicken' by the soldiers in Anxi, but her long-term thinking and military career made her mood calm and mature, and at this time she was also infected by Mingzhu's liveliness and cheerfulness, so she joked: "You are such a beautiful little girl, the wild wolf is reluctant to eat you, so it must be very safe." ”

Mingzhu listened to Gao Wu's praise for her beauty, and she was even happier in her heart, and her good impression of Gao Wu also reached eleven points.

The two talked and laughed, and then came to Chongde Fang, the original mansion of the Gao family was in Huaizhen Fang next door to Chongde Fang, it was the official residence of the Anxi Festival Envoy, and later the whole family moved to Chengdu, there was no home in Chang'an, there was a famous temple in Chongde Fang, called Bao'en Temple, there were many pilgrims, the incense was vigorous, when Gao Wu lived in Chang'an when she was a child, her grandfather often took her to this temple, and her mother also took her a few times when she grew up, and she was very familiar with here.

There were monks at the entrance of the temple who were responsible for taking care of the carriages and horses, and Gao Wu and Mingzhu handed over their mounts to the monks, bought a few sticks of incense at the door, and then walked into the temple with great interest.

There are a lot of people in the temple, people come and go, the river is endless, there are those who burn incense, there are those who play, there are clusters of people in each hall, the two of them entered the temple, and went straight to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, at this time there were more than a dozen rangers who came to hunt women under a tree, their eyes were fascinated and focused on the young female pilgrims, suddenly, their eyes lit up, only to see two young and beautiful women come over, especially the little lady in the green skirt, who looked abnormally beautiful, everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were evil, and they patted their butts and got up, quietly followed them, trying to start when there were few people.

Mingzhu was full of interest, and shouted with Gao Wu: "Sister Wu, let's go to the Guanyin Hall first!" ”

At this time, Gao Wu had already been vigilant in her heart, she was a woman who was fighting, and she was extremely sensitive to this feeling of insecurity, she swept back with the corner of her eye, and saw more than a dozen young men following them unhurriedly, her hand couldn't help but clench the long sword at her waist.

"Mingzhu, I'll go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall first, and then I'll go to the Guanyin Temple later."

She took Mingzhu and walked towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which had the most pilgrims, but at this moment, a dozen rangers suddenly ran in front of them, and stopped them with their arms stretched out with a hippie smile.

"Two little ladies, there is a happy Buddha in the backyard, let's go to worship together!"

Gao Wu pulled Mingzhu behind him, pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and shouted in a low voice: "Get out!" Otherwise, my aunt and grandmother will kill someone. ”

"Yo! It's fierce, it's strong enough. ”

More than a dozen men didn't take the two little women to heart at all, and one of them was thin and tall, and he smiled and reached out to pinch Gao Wu's face, "This kind of fierce little lady, I like it the most!" ”

Just when his hand had not touched Gao Wu's cheek, Gao Wu's eyes welled up with anger, the long sword was unsheathed, only to see a flash of blood, the man screamed like a pig, covered his hands and knelt on the ground, and there were two more bloody fingers on the ground, a thumb and an index finger.

At this moment, the surrounding pilgrims were attracted, three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded by water, and the crowd exclaimed, this woman was too fierce, and she chopped off people's index fingers and thumbs with a sword, and this hand was useless.

More than a dozen rangers were so frightened that they took a few steps back, they didn't expect this woman to be so fierce, she dared to use a sword to hurt people, the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to help up the injured companion, the injured man was in pain, he hated Gao Wu to the extreme, turned around and shouted to his companion: "Drag these two women away, if you don't kill them today, it's hard to get out of my heart's hatred!" ”

More than a dozen men surrounded Mingzhu from all sides, they found that Mingzhu was a weak point, first catch her, you can hold the woman with a sword, five or six people surrounded Mingzhu, Mingzhu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shouted nervously: "Don't mess around, we are the family of King Zhao, and you will commit a capital crime." ”

"Phew! Lao Tzu is still the prince of the East Palace! ”

How could the injured man believe that it was really Li Qing'an's family, and would there be no guards to follow? He scolded fiercely and shouted, "Do it!" ”

More than a dozen men pounced together, Gao Wu bit his lip, pulled the pearl in one hand, waved his sword in the other, and retreated towards the gate, these dozen rangers were obviously on the evil side, although it was in broad daylight, none of the surrounding pilgrims dared to provoke them, no one dared to come out, Gao Wu just took two steps back, and more than a dozen people surrounded her again, at this time, more than a dozen people had iron rods or long swords in their hands, and their faces were smiling, like a dozen wolves looking at the two lambs that were about to arrive.

At this time, the abbot of Bao'en Temple accompanied the two distinguished guests out of the guest room next to him, and a monk hurriedly ran up to report: "Abbot, those dozen villains are bullying the women of the good family again, and it seems that some people are still injured." ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

The abbot frowned, these dozen villains are a tyrant in the workshop, I don't know how many good women have been ruined, he can't afford to provoke, a month ago, they bullied a pair of mother and daughter who came to Shangxiang, and held them hostage to the backyard to insult, he really couldn't stand it, so he asked the monk to save the mother and daughter, but this group of villains held a grudge, and lit a fire at night to burn the palace of the king of the stove, and there was no evidence for reporting to the official.

The abbot was a little hesitant, not knowing whether this matter should be taken care of, and the distinguished guests next to him were a father and son, it was Cui Yuan, the right minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his son Cui Jin, as well as Cui Yuan's wife, Changsun.

They quietly returned to Chang'an this time to participate in the clan sacrifice, of course, Cui Yuan did not dare to make a high-profile appearance in Chang'an, he came to Chang'an for four days, and today is the first time they have gone out.

At this time, Gao Wu had retreated not far from them, and Cui Jin suddenly recognized Gao Wu and said in surprise: "Father, isn't that Wu Niang?" ”

At the beginning of the year, Gao Xianzhi once married Gao Wu Xu to Cui Jin, Cui Jin also liked Gao Wu very much, this was originally an excellent marriage, the Southern Tang Dynasty would be married, the door was right, and the parents of both sides even exchanged marriage books, but this good marriage was destroyed by an arrow from Gao Wu, Gao Wu rode a horse and shot an arrow at the door of the Cui family, and this arrow made Cui Yuan return the marriage book to the Gao family overnight.

When Cui Yuan heard that it was Gao Wu, he was shocked, and hurriedly said to his father-in-law: "Go and stop them, that's Gao Xianzhi's daughter!" ”

At this time, Cui Yuan's wife also recognized Mingzhu, she is the daughter of the eldest grandson's family, the eldest grandson and the Dugu family are world friends, and the relationship is extremely close, Cui Yuan's wife has seen Mingyue and Mingzhu twice, although it was a few years ago, Mingzhu's face has not changed much, and she still recognized it.

"Master, the other woman seems to be a pearl! Princess Zhao's younger sister. ”

Hearing that it was Princess Zhao's younger sister, the abbot only felt that the sky was spinning, and he was paralyzed on the ground, and several monks behind him hurriedly supported him, "Abbot!" Abbot! ”

The abbot shouted in a trembling voice, "Go! Stop them, we're about to get into trouble! ”

Although Gao Wu has fought, she is a woman after all, and she has to protect the pearl, and she dare not let go of her to fight, and more than a dozen rangers have grown up from small fights, very experienced, they surrounded Gao Wu, mouthing foul language, recklessly flirting and insulting, and always taking advantage of her unpreparedness to suddenly attack, extremely consuming Gao Wu's physical strength, at this time Gao Wuyun's temples were scattered, his face was full of sweat, and his physical strength began to be exhausted, this group of rangers was even more proud, and teased them with extremely obscene words.

The injured man chattered and laughed on the side: "That woman is mine, Lao Tzu wants her to serve me for the rest of my life, and I will marry her later, and then let her taste the taste of a man, haha!" ”

Gao Wu was furious, glared at him fiercely, she was distracted all of a sudden, and a man looked at Gao Wu unprepared, and suddenly slammed a stick from the side, 'Dangchang! With a bang, the long sword in Gao Wu's hand was knocked off by the iron rod, and she suddenly turned into a bare hand.

More than a dozen rangers laughed freely, "Little lady, you have to obey us obediently now." ”

Everyone flocked up, seeing that Gao Wu and Mingzhu were about to be taken away, at this moment, dozens of monks suddenly rushed out from the side, they hugged more than a dozen rangers, and shouted to Gao Wu and Mingzhu: "Female donor, you go quickly!" ”

The injured man was furious, pointed at him with blood and scolded: "Bald donkey, dare to spoil Lao Tzu's interest, I will burn your Daxiong Treasure Hall tonight!" ”

Gao Wu didn't leave, she stared at the man with hatred in her eyes, suddenly, she picked up the sword, rushed up and slammed the sword, piercing the man through the heart, the long sword penetrated his heart, the tip of the sword pierced through his back, the man's eyes rolled white, he pointed at Gao Wu incredibly, and fell to the ground and died.

Suddenly there was a murder, all the people in the temple were stunned, as if they had been immobilized, looking at this fierce woman blankly, but Gao Wu did not stop, she pulled out her long sword fiercely, and her backhand was another sword, extremely fast, only to hear a scream, the man who had just knocked off her long sword was pierced through the chest by her sword, and died on the spot.

At this moment, everyone reacted, screaming and running in all directions, the dozen or so rangers stumbled and stumbled, rolling and crawling to flee for their lives, but Gao Wu was merciless, catching up with the few people who besieged her just now, piercing the backs of three rangers in a row, killing three of them one after another.

Five people were killed in an instant, and at this time, everyone was so frightened that even Cui Yuan was dumbfounded, Mingzhu was so anxious that he stomped his feet and shouted: "Sister Wu, don't kill it!" ”

Gao Wu hated him in her heart, she showed no mercy, caught up with another person, kicked him over, trampled him under his feet, turned his sword to stab him in the chest, the man was so frightened that he trembled and cried, "The girl spares her life, there are still mothers and daughters at home who want me to feed!" ”

Gao Wu's sword stopped in the air, and she said coldly, "You dare to lie to me? ”

The man snorted and cried, "I don't dare to lie to the girl!" I'm thirty years old, how can I not have a mother and children? ”

Gao Wu let out a long breath, and finally retracted the sword from its sheath and kicked him away, "Get out!" ”

The man turned over and ran away, Gao Wu looked at the five corpses on the ground, she shook her head, and said to a monk: "You go and report to the official!" I'm not going to walk away. ”

At this time, Cui Yuan walked over and said with a smile: "Niece Gao, I didn't expect that we would meet in Chang'an." ”
