Chapter 97: Rescue

As soon as Qin Zhongguang approached Merlin with the people, he smelled a faint smell of blood.

He had a bad heart, so he hurriedly rushed in first.

As a result, before he had even a stick of incense, he sadly found himself lost. What's even worse is that because he rushed too fast, several people were scattered, and only Qin He was left by his side.

"Grandpa Guo, be careful, this forest seems to be strange!" Qin He said with annoyance, "The little monk just now said that he would lead the way for us, but we refused. If I had known this was the case, I should have brought him with me......"

Qin Zhongguang squinted his eyes and looked around, and sneered: "It's just a mere Five Elements Bagua Technique, it can't trap me!" ”

He uttered words and drew strange patterns on the snow with his scabbard, as if he were deducing something.

"Hugh was injured and Du Jing was shocked...... Shengmen, where is Shengmen......"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pointed in a certain direction with the slush-stained scabbard.

"This way! Come with me! ”

Less than seven or eight steps out, two familiar faces flashed behind the flower tree.

One of them was His Majesty the Emperor, and he was naturally familiar with it, but the eyebrows and eyes of the other young woman were not exactly a copy of Su's youth......

Qin Zhongguang's heart was slightly warm, his eyes were hot, and when he saw Huo Yanzhi's expression, several people described him as embarrassed, and most of them had blood stains on their hands and bodies, and hurriedly pressed what they thought in their hearts.

"The minister's rescue is late, Your Majesty forgives the sin!"

Huo Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did Guogong suddenly come here?" ”

Qin Zhongguang told the ins and outs of meeting King Xin and being entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and his eyes couldn't help but drift to Zhiwei.

Huo Yanzhi glanced at him inexplicably, but the bloody knife in his hand was not put down.

"In that case, then Lao Guogong will finish it for me. Zhang Heng, the deputy commander of my personal guard, colluded with outsiders and led his subordinates to mutiny, and at this moment, dressed in black, with a subordinate looking for me, you can go and arrest him. ”

After he finished explaining slowly, he suddenly asked, "Also, I have two loyal guards who are still waiting in the forest for treatment, ...... Why are there only two of you? ”

Qin Zhongguang's old face turned red, and he didn't want to admit that he was lost and separated from his subordinates, but he was broken by the honest general Qin He.

"Back to Your Majesty, there seems to be a five-element gossip formation here, and the last general and others were accidentally separated......"

Qin Zhongguang hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, the minister has also slightly cleared the formation, this array has been solved by the minister, and it is no problem to arrest that Zhang Heng!" ”

Huo Yanzhi nodded, did not show a mocking look, and said naturally: "This forest is a little weird. In that case, let's find all the people first. I went back to the temple and rested. ”

He turned to Zhiwei and whispered something, but the latter shook his head and refused, and finally could only leave with a knife in one hand and a limping beauty in the other.

Since Qin Zhongguang said that he could do it, of course he wouldn't say anything, and it was impossible for him to "lend" Zhiwei to him as a guide.

"The girl's family is delicate and tender, and after such a long delay, I don't know if she will leave her old cold legs or something." Huo Yanzhi muttered in his heart, determined to wait a little farther and get out of the sight of Qin Zhongguang and the others, no matter how Zhi Wei resisted, he had to carry her back to the temple.

Jiang Xue followed behind, but she was sensitive to the strange eyes of His Majesty's former father-in-law.

"It's strange, it's nothing for this Qin Guogong to come to the rescue in a hurry today, but why does he keep looking at the girl's face? Could it be, this old guy has a crush on the girl, right? No, where did he get the courage to rob people with His Majesty? Impossible, impossible......"

On the way back, as soon as the three of them came out of Merlin, they saw a chubby little monk under a dead old tree.

When the little monk saw Huo Yanzhi carrying a blood-stained knife and a fierce look, he screamed in fright.

"Murderβ€”"

Huo Yanzhi glanced back twice, threw down the knife angrily, took the dagger that Jiang Xue returned to him, and shook it in front of the little monk.

"If you shout again, I'll eat monk meat tonight! Take us back to the temple and find your abbot! ”

The little monk was so frightened that he burst into tears, and while wiping his tears to lead the way, he choked up and said, "Donor, the monk's meat is not delicious, and the old monk's meat is even worse, can you not eat us?" ”

Zhi Wei chuckled and hurriedly clarified.

"Little master, don't blame, my son-in-law is just joking with you. Just now, a few of us met a group of bandits in Merlin and fought with them, so we were so embarrassed. ”

Jiang Xue also chimed in: "Yes, we are all good people, not the head of the traitor department." Little master, have you been staying here all this time? Have you seen any unusual movements? ”

The little monk wiped his tears and tried to think about it for a while before he said ignorantly: "Bandits? Are they dressed in black? I seem to have seen strange black shadows just now, but they seem to be flying, very fast, I didn't see if it was a person, and I thought I was dazzled~"

Huo Yanzhi frowned and asked, "How many roads do you have in the back mountain?" Is there any other road besides from the back door of the temple and this path? ”

The little monk hesitated: "This ...... Seems to be gone, right? ”

"Qin Guogong should have passed through the temple, he didn't mention it, and the masters who wanted to come to the temple were not injured. The group may have come up from the trail we had just tried to escape......" Jiangxue dutifully analyzed.

Huo Yanzhi's face was not very good-looking.

He had people survey the general terrain of this place in advance, and knew that there was such a path, which was originally prepared for the arranged shadow guards to go up the mountain from there and ambush in advance, but now he was caught off guard.

I'm afraid that other people are also more auspicious!

"Huh? No, why is there a big rock there? The little monk suddenly stopped, turned around and looked down the mountain.

Jiang Xue also followed him and stretched out his head to look, but Huo Yanzhi stared at the little monk expressionlessly, his body was motionless, and he even pulled Zhi Wei.

"Ah, isn't this the mountain road?" Jiang Xue said excitedly, "Your Majesty, Childe, our people should have been stopped by Dashi, maybe they are still alive!" ”

Huo Yanzhi sighed lightly, noncommittal.

The little monk scratched his shiny head, looked at Zhi Wei's eyes, and showed a flattering smile.

"Bi Gongzi, this female donor is injured, it just so happens that my master knows how to do some medical skills, and he can heal one or two for the female donor."

Huo Yanzhi smiled, revealing his white and neat teeth.

"Your master is the abbot? I'm just trying to talk to him. ”

In front of the Buddha Hall.

When Huo Yanzhi and the others returned to the place where the hexagram was calculated, the old monk Wuzheng squatted down to pick up the Buddha beads scattered all over the place.

Still far away, the little monk shouted: "Master, Master, there are thieves in the mountains, these donors have been robbed!" Treat their wounds! ”

Seeing Huo Yanzhi's cold eyes, the white beard that trembled slightly trembled even more.

"Uh, how did this bloodlight plague come so quickly...... Is the old man's physiognomy so accurate? ”

After picking up the last Buddha bead, he straightened up, looked at a few people carefully, and then said, "Is this female benefactor injured?" A few of you, please come with the old man, the medicine is in the meditation room. ”

Huo Yanzhi didn't move under his feet, and said with a sneer: "The abbot is straight off, after the front foot is finished with the bloody disaster, there will be a thief in the temple on the back foot." As the abbot of a temple, the master doesn't know what to explain? ”

"This, the old man only knows how to chant Buddhism, not how to catch thieves, and he doesn't know martial arts. When the thieves came, the old man was helpless, so he could only recite in his heart the scriptures of the five hundred robbers who became Buddhas......"

Zhi Wei tugged at the corners of his sleeves and reminded: "Childe, those thieves are from the back mountain, and the master is in the front temple, so it's understandable not to know." ”

Huo Yanzhi didn't know this truth, he just walked on the edge of life and death, and everyone felt untrustworthy when he saw it at this moment, and his suspicion was extremely heavy.

There was no way out, so the little monk could only run his legs, go to get the wound medicine, and check the wound for Zhiwei in the hut next to the Buddha Hall, and sure enough, he made a non-toxic diagnosis.

Jiang Xue touched her heart and recited the sentence "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless".

Zhiwei felt that she was making too much fuss, if it was really poisonous, she wouldn't be able to detect the abnormality at all?

After a short time, Qin Zhongguang and his entourage returned to the temple, and there were no fewer people under them, and they also captured Deputy Commander Zhang and a few other people alive, and carried back the angry guards that Huo Yanzhi said.

Huo Yanzhi nodded with satisfaction, and said directly in front of Wuzhi: "Take someone to search the temple to see if there are any suspicious people hiding in it." The abbot should be fine, right? ”

"Amitabha Buddha ~ Lao Qu has a clear conscience, so he naturally won't mind. It's just that the small temple is old, and the nobles are asked to be lighter when searching. ”

Huo Yanzhi's face distorted, and he squeezed a sentence from between his teeth, "Abbot, don't worry, if there is a misunderstanding, I will cover all the repair costs!" ”

There was no Amitabha Buddha again, but his expression became happy.

"Then the noble man go quickly, it doesn't matter what you break casually, just leave some pots and pans for the monks to eat."

The little monk added seriously: "Don't spill the food, the senior brothers must be ready to cook at this time, and they can't waste it!" ”

Huo Yanzhi: ...... What kind of strange monks are these?

Qin Zhongguang took people to do it himself, and turned Qingjue Temple up and down thoroughly, and did not find any clues.

Only then did Huo Yanzhi dispel his suspicions and give Jiang Xue a look, who took out a silver ticket and handed it to Abbot Wu very knowingly.

"Master, we came out in a hurry, and we didn't expect that there would be a place to use money. You can take this thousand taels first, and the little girl will send it over for my son-in-law one day. ”

The white beard shook violently, looked at Jiang Xue, then at Qin Zhongguang and the others, and his gaze moved back to Huo Yanzhi's face again.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up with an incredible color.

"I didn't expect it to be like this...... It's really, haha, the donor spent this thousand taels unjustly, and the old man will give you another sentence, how about it? ”

Huo Yanzhi looked at him very vigilantly, and said in his heart, this old monk is chattering, isn't he going to curse me again?

"No, I said, I never believed that. What a bloody disaster, it's just a coincidence! If you talk nonsense again, I'll take you to see the official! ”

No enthusiasm was extinguished, and the old chrysanthemum-like smile faded a lot.

Seeing this, Qin Zhongguang stood up boldly and said tentatively: "The son doesn't believe this, but his subordinates believe in it." I wonder if the master can calculate a hexagram for me? ”

Huo Yanzhi was noncommittal, Qin Zhongguang stepped forward and quietly added: "Master Lao Fu will calculate for me, how many sons and daughters should I have, where are they now?" ”

The faces of the people who were close to the ears and listened to these words were a little strange, especially Huo Yanzhi.

You must know that Qin Zhongguang is his legitimate father-in-law, and his only daughter has just died. Because of Mrs. Qin's murder of Zhi Wei, in order to clear up the relationship, he specially alienated and took the responsibility of dealing with the He family on himself. In other words, his relationship with He should be in a very bad state.

At this moment, why did he suddenly ask the children of the hexagram? Could it be that you want to change to a regular lady?

Wu was also a little surprised, but he still calculated for him according to his words.

"Well, this benefactor is also the life of a rich and noble. If there is no reckless action, you should be able to grow old safely and smoothly. The fate of the children is also very smooth, with a total of five sons and two daughters, but there is one who has never been born. As for where they are, this old man won't come......"

Huo Yanzhi raised his eyebrows.

If he remembered correctly, the queen didn't have so many brothers and sisters. He gave birth to a son and a daughter, and an old aunt who had died of illness gave birth to two concubines, one died and one lived, but her sense of presence in the Guogong Mansion was extremely weak. As for the concubine, there was no one, but it is not ruled out that she died at a young age......

Qin Zhongguang was dumbfounded, and his eyes stared at Zhi Wei directly.

He said earnestly, "Can the girl take a step to speak?" Your mother, she, she is surnamed Su, a person from Jiangsu and Zhejiang......"
