Step by step approaching (II) (middle) of retreat

Whether it was Yiyi or the people ambushed by the other party, they were all surprised by General Yutai's departure and return. Although there were the arrival of the troops of Baihuatang and Xinye, and the reinforcements that Chen Cheng had received from Xinye's notice, the order to prepare for the attack had been issued last night. The other party calculated that the departure of his wife would be a big mess for General Yutai, and it would also make the prince who was still in love with the girl Ning that night worry, such a good opportunity, how could he not make a move? For the sake of safety, the killer after receiving the order has no longer contact with his boss, and although he knows that he has no chance of winning, he still needs to obey the order to kill, and the result is already expected. Groups of gray-clothed people poured into Baoguo Temple, trying to attack the place where Prince Yiyi was. The archers of the Imperial Guards, the Praetorian Guards of the Palace, the ordinary sergeants, were no match for them, and they passed through these two layers of protection as if they were in a no-man's land. They thought they could succeed, but only later did they realize that they really didn't know each other well. In this battle, the opponent knew that the legendary Yutai General was not only a person who could mobilize Pingluan Pavilion, but also a group of women who had been trained by Pingluan Pavilion for many years. And behind these people, for the first time in his life, he saw the amazing martial arts of the third and ninth sons of the Tang family.

On the first floor, they were able to stop the warriors of Pingluan Pavilion and the subordinates of Baihuatang, and on the second layer, the greater resistance came from several generals of the Imperial Forest Army and leaders of Pingluan Pavilion, as well as Liu Tang Master and several leaders of Baihuatang. But when they thought they could get close to the prince, they ran into two killing gods, the ninth young master and the third young master of the Tang family. The Ninth Young Master is just very accurate with every knife, and he will definitely kill anyone who is close to him. And the third young master, but he would not let people get close, the cold sword qi swept across the place within three zhang, creating a silver-white aura that shrouded the door of his own Mahavira Palace, and all the gray-clothed people who approached, It was like being bullied by a sharp sword, Covered in blood was bounced back, fell heavily to the ground, and could not get up again. The blood on his body continued to overflow, staining the stone slab in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall red.

Waves of impact were exchanged for patches of blood, and the leader of the other party began to feel cold. They knew that it would not be easy today, but they didn't expect that in the pure land of Buddhism, there would be such a tragic killing and bloodshed scene.

But none of them had a chance to talk to anyone about it again. Since they are dead men raised by their masters, they have no choice but to be faithful if they cannot win.

In the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Yiyi is still praying for his father under the guidance of the abbot. Although the prayer is recited in the mouth, the prayer for the evening is silently recited in the heart. When she was forced to leave home and her husband and wife Lao Yan flew apart, Wan Ning actually arranged for her subordinates to come to the temple to rescue, and actually asked her husband and Xinye to protect him in the temple instead of saving herself, which made Yiyi feel sorry, hoping that the gods could bless Wan Ning, and also hoped that one day she would be able to protect her when she was in power.

Three days later, when the Jade Master met his grandson in the Jade Gate Capital Palace, he was surprised by his surprisingly calm.

Xinjie didn't say much, just asked bluntly: "How do you always want to arrange the marriage of the rich family?" ”

Although Yu Zhenxiang felt guilty, he knew what he was going to do: "Of course, the sooner the better, marry Fu Xinshu and let Fu Dalong be born as soon as possible, so that we can have the energy to take care of the rest." Oh, you know that Yushu is actually Fu Xinshu, I didn't know it before, it was your wife who said it. ”

Xinjie smiled sarcastically: "Do you think she is still my wife?" ”

Yu Zhenxiang sighed: "If it weren't for this eventful season, it would have been a good marriage..."

Xinjie cut him off coldly: "Fu Xinshu can only be a concubine, and my wife is only Zhou's Wanning." ”

Yu Zhenxiang frowned: "Child, we have already done this, if it is only a concubine, why should we let Wanning leave." ”

"Being able to carry her sedan chair into the door is for the safety of my grandmother, but don't expect three matchmakers, six dowries and marriage letters."

"Xinjie, Fu Dalong is the deputy master of my Yumen, Fu Xinshu is also a girl with a head and face in the Yumen, and she is still waiting to be given a high point, and it is also our own face in Yumen..."

Xinjie coldly looked at his grandfather, who had been close to him all these years: "The grandson of the big boss of Yumen was coerced and coerced to marry a subordinate and marry a girl next to him, and Yumen's face was washed away when your old man agreed to this matter." ”

Yu Zhenxiang knew that he was at a loss, but since he had already paid the price, he still wanted to convince Xinjie, and he was just about to open his mouth again, but Xinjie blocked back: "Other interviews!" And Fu Xinshu has been hiding her identity and hiding by my side, do you still think this father and daughter can have integrity? This kind of person deserves my courtesy to give them? ”

He no longer wanted to listen to his grandfather's ramblings, so he handed him Lian'er's letter directly. Yu Zhenxiang took it hesitantly, his heart full of doubts, when did that woman write the letter? Is she back again? He quickly opened it, glanced at ten lines, and read it again and again before he understood the meaning of the evening setting for a while.

Xinjie didn't say much, from the old man's expression, he knew that he had regretted it: "You should arrange the marriage as soon as possible, but before getting married, Fu Dalong must promise never to hurt grandma and Lian'er." If Lian'er and Grandma have any damage, I will definitely not let him and Fu Xinshu go.

In addition, you must know that if it weren't for Lian'er leaving this letter, if it weren't for her seemingly understated words about your old man, Yumen might have been destroyed. ”

Yu Zhenxiang didn't understand, what did his grandson mean by the catastrophe of destruction? ”

"If she doesn't write like this, someone can tell the Queen Mother and the Prince that you took away Zhou's Wanning just to transfer me out of Baoguo Temple and let the escorted Pingluan Pavilion fall into chaos, then you are an accomplice in the rebellion."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhenxiang shuddered. For many years, his thoughts were only in the Jade Gate, and he never thought that in the imperial court, the Jade Gate was a dangerous egg under the boulder, which could overturn it in an instant at any time. And Zhou Wanning not only saw the risk of Yumen, but also did not forget to help him when she foresaw that she would be expelled from him.

At the same time, the Seiwei of the Aoki Society in the capital carefully searched for their mistress inside and out. Since Zhou left that day, there has been no news of her. No matter how calmly a husband copes with various affairs on the surface, he can't hide his worry and anxiety about his wife. The crown prince of the palace also sent his own secret forces to find her. And these two groups of people soon discovered that there were still several groups of forces in the capital looking for the whereabouts of the third young grandmother of the Tang family. There are not only people from the rivers and lakes, foreign forces, people from several princes' mansions in Beijing, and even princes' forces. These people of all shapes and sizes have pushed this puzzle to a more gloomy situation. All of a sudden, whether it was a husband, a friend, or an enemy, they were all looking for her. And the young grandmother of the Tang family, Zhou's Wanning seems to have completely disappeared in the capital.

She returned to the small courtyard where they used to study medical books together, classics, and plan the Aoki Tea Society. This was given to her by Xinjie at the beginning, and she named it Retreat Xiaozhu.

Since the first day she moved into Aokien, there has always been a faint soreness in her heart, a kind of uneasiness. It has nothing to do with Aoki Society, but I just think Aoki Garden is not her long-term residence. Her husband transplanted a lot of roses for her outside the railing of the Aoki Garden, hoping that the sweet fragrance of summer would accompany her through the long summer evenings when he was too busy with his official duties to spend time with his wife. But whenever she sat alone in front of the railing and looked at the brilliant roses, she often felt that there was a burst of yin on the vine-covered wall opposite, which made her cold hair stand on end. Maybe it is not suitable to move from the small courtyard in Nanqin back street to that big courtyard, or when her husband is away, she feels empty, after dinner, if there is nothing to do in Baihuatang, she will take a carriage back to the small courtyard of Nanqin back street, sit and read a book, and recall the days when the two of them were studying and busy there for a period of time.

Gradually, she moved some of the things she had moved to Aokien back to Kozuki, and of course she also brought back the tea set and pen inkstone that her husband used to use here. Then she solemnly asked her husband to give her this little courtyard, and told him that if one day he got tired of it, she would not die by his side, and she would leave herself, and would return to this little courtyard full of warmth. Of course, she told him jokingly, and he immediately objected to it, but as their first home of their own in the capital, he was willing to give this permanent memory to his wife to keep safe, so that they could return to that first love at any time. So the next day, I seriously asked people to turn the deed into his wife's name.

On the north side of this small courtyard is a pastry shop, separated by a wall, and the smell of scones wafts from time to time. Since she had plans to make a retreat, she let people find out the details, and at the right time, she used her private money to buy a pastry shop and a small teahouse next door. When her husband went to Jiangnan, she asked Uncle Qi to hand over everything in Xianyang to her eldest son, and took Aunt Qi to live in the guest house of Retreat Xiaozhu, and opened up the wall of the pastry shop and Xiaozhu. Later, Uncle Qi persuaded her to buy a small restaurant next to the teahouse, and asked Aunt Qi to lead someone to sell lo-mei and home-cooked food there. They settled this place of escape on Nanqin Street and the back street---- retreating to the small building. Of course, all this happened after Xinjie went to Jiangnan Yumen.

Now, the Grand Master of the Jade Gate has finally confirmed her conjecture to her face, and in order to fulfill her promise, and in order to watch the enemy's follow-up, she must disappear from Xinjie's life. I can't go back to Aoki Garden or Baihuatang, and this retreat has become a place to stay.

After staying in Yuxian Nunnery for two days, she and Yuling disguised themselves and moved to Ciyun Temple in western Beijing. There, even the master abbot did not recognize them. The two of them spent a few days in the guest house where the pilgrims were staying. After she believed that Xinjie had already gone to retreat to Xiaozhu to find her and would not come back in the near future, she returned here today with the jade spirit. Although it is a retreat, but she can't really retreat yet, she still has too much to do. Not only does she have to help her grandmother help Tangmen help Yiyi complete this big game, but she also needs to be ready to protect her husband from being hurt by his opponents. Whether he will be his husband in the future, whether he will be his only one in the future, she will do her best to protect him.
