Chapter 50: The Old Monk's Plans
King Ping opened the box, there were five small and delicate wooden lotus orders in the box, King Ping picked up the one on the top, and gently stroked the half-opened lotus flower on the token with his hand, this token was the one he gave out last year, and now it is back in his hands, King Ping smiled, as if the sun was shining into the house, Zhao Yong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
King Ping put down the wooden lotus order in his hand, and took out the four wooden lotus orders below, and placed them side by side on the rosewood tabletop, there was a small cross in the box, and the cross was wrapped with a very realistic snake with its head high, the snake's eyes were two small emeralds, and it seemed that the snake seemed to be alive in general, the cross was not wood or gold, and it was extremely heavy in his hand, King Ping looked carefully, looked at Zhao Yong suspiciously, Zhao Yong bowed and said:
"This is the token of the Mulian master, and it is also the holy weapon of the Hangu Temple, which has been kept by the Dharma protector or abbot in the past dynasties, and the master has asked the slave to report to the master: since the young lady received the Mulian order of the master, according to the rules of the Hangu Temple, the young lady is the protector of the Hangu Temple, and he is just a secular abbot, but, according to the will of the young lady, and for the safety of the young lady, this matter has been kept secret in the temple."
King Ping's eyes flashed, he held the cross tightly in his hand and spread it out, looking at the small object in his hand, his eyes were full of smiles, what he was holding in his hand was the famous Hangu Temple!
"Did the master say anything else?"
King Ping asked in a deep voice,
"The master said that in the spring, he would send some disciples from the temple to Handi, firstly, to learn medical skills with Miss, and secondly, to serve Miss."
King Ping stood up and walked back and forth twice, his eyes looking out the window, a little distracted, he thought of marrying her at the beginning, because of her medical skills, and because of her inextricable connection with Hangu Temple, and ...... She always reminded him of the gentle wind blowing in the courtyard of Xiaofeng that day and the bright flowers outside the window, which made his heart soft and warm.
But now, she actually brought Hangu Temple to him! King Ping came back to his senses, straightened his face and commanded:
"Take this box, and the two girls, and send it to Miss."
Zhao Yong agreed and respectfully withdrew.
King Ping watched him go away, pondered for a moment, and called Li Ren in and commanded:
"Choose twelve shadow guards, go to the young lady's side and wait, let, take the shadow with you, you must not leave for a moment, there can be no mistakes!"
Li Ren raised his head in surprise,
"Master, Shadow One...... That master's side? ”
King Ping raised his hand to stop him,
"Master's kung fu, Ying Yi can't have the upper hand, Miss, a gust of wind can blow down! Tell them to be careful, the young lady is a smart person, don't let her find out. Also, you go to the mountain, pick two female disciples who are good at kung fu to come back, and send them to the young lady to wait. ”
Li Ren was even more surprised, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and hurriedly bowed his head and responded:
"Yes!"
"Well, you go down and find someone to call the third master to see me."
Li Ren agreed and retired.
Zhao Yong took Qiuyue and Liuli, just stepped into the courtyard gate of Juying Pavilion, Li Qing had already rushed out with her skirt, Qiuyue and Liuli saw Li Qing, tears poured out at once, choked and shouted "girl", about to kneel down and kowtow, Li Qing's face was slightly flushed, his eyes were shining, he pulled up Qiuyue and Liuli, and looked at the two happily,
"Look at the two of you, you've lost weight like this, don't you think about girls?"
Li Qing laughed happily, Qiu Yue's eyes stared at Li Qing without blinking, and before she could speak, tears flowed out, tears hung on her cheeks, her eyes were clear and staring at Li Qing, and her voice was slightly hoarse:
"The girl is thinner!"
Mama Zheng came out with a big piece of big and came out behind, Qiu Yue hurriedly stepped forward to take it, shook it off and put it on Li Qing's body, Li Qing tightened her big coat, and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's come into the house, this Han land, it's just too cold."
Zhao Yong was beside him, and was hesitating whether to follow up, Mama Zheng turned around with a smile, bent her knees and said:
"This uncle, please wait a moment, I went back to our girl, and then ask the uncle to go in and talk back."
Zhao Yong hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and waited at the door with his hands down. Mama Zheng turned around and entered the house, and after a while, she invited Zhao Yong in.
Li Qingduan sat on the kang in the east chamber, Zhao Yong knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye, took out the small box from his arms, and offered it.
"Miss Yu, this is what Master Guangci asked to bring to Miss, and Master Guangci also told Miss that Kaichun Temple will send some people to Handi to serve Miss."
Li Qing's face changed slightly, took the box handed over by Mama Zheng, opened it, glanced at it, closed it violently, pushed it out, and dared to bring this back to her! If she is willing to be this Dharma protector, why should she become an official? Why did you come to this Korean land? Why bother to run away like that? Why marry that King Ping? The more Li Qing thought about it, the more angry he became, and reprimanded with anger on his face:
"Who told you to take it? Who told you to bring it here? Who made you decide for me? ”
Zhao Yong looked at Li Qing dumbfounded, opened his mouth, couldn't say a word, Li Qing raised the box and threw it to the ground fiercely, Zhao Yong quickly pounced, took it, but was shocked into a cold sweat, this box is far more valuable than his life! Li Qing stared at him hatefully, raised his hand and pointed at him and said:
"Since you took it, you will send this broken thing back again, and send it back to the old monk! Get out! ”
Zhao Yong retreated in embarrassment. Li Qing sat on the kang sulking, Mama Zheng, Qiu Yue and Liuli looked at her with concern, Qiu Yue turned around and motioned to Songluo to pour a cup of tea, Songluo carefully held a cup of tea with a small rosewood tray, Qiuyue took it and offered it to Li Qing, turned around and quietly signaled them to retreat.
Li Qing took a sip of tea and said hatefully:
"This old monk, are you going to kill me?!"
"Girl?"
Mama Zheng looked at her puzzled, Liuli pondered, and Qiuyue replied with a smile:
"Master Yuejing asked us to tell the girl that she would leave for Korea after the New Year. Said to come to accompany the girl. ”
Li Qing "snorted" and didn't speak, Yue Jing was coming, more than half of it was her heart, and a small half was only afraid of the old monk's arrangement! Let King Ping's people bring this Mulian Ling and Mulian tokens over, what is this old monk going to do? Planning to move Hangu Temple to Korea? In the hands of King Ping? An old monk is such a shrewd person, he would not be stupid enough to think that if she marries King Ping, he will be one with King Ping! Since the old monk wants to hand it over to King Ping, let him hand it over! She doesn't care! If that huge temple weighed on her, she wouldn't die of exhaustion? What other ease and freedom can there be? She still thinks that one day she doesn't want to be this princess, so she will fake her death and escape, and live the kind of days that she has always dreamed of in her previous life, playing around, eating, drinking, and having fun without working! At this time, the old monk sent this broken box over, she just died, and even if she was burned to ashes, she could only be buried in the Lin family's cemetery!
The more Li Qing thought about it, the more angry she became, she gritted her teeth with hatred, Mama Zheng looked at her with concern, the anger on Li Qing's face became heavier and heavier, Liuli took half a step forward, and persuaded with a smile:
"Don't think too much about it, girl, who knows what tomorrow will be like?!"
Li Qing was stunned, yes, Liuli is right, who knows what will happen tomorrow, the so-called car must have a road before the mountain, let's talk about it then, Li Qing's face eased, Mama Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Liuli with appreciation, and said with a smile:
"Liuli, this girl is getting more and more clever."
Li Qing relaxed his body and commanded with a smile:
"You two, you've walked such a long way, and you're tired, go down first to take a good bath and wash, let's go and rest, and come in tomorrow to be on duty, clothes, house, etc., Mama Zheng has already let people clean up." Go for it. ”
Autumn Moon and Ruri smiled and quit.
Zhao Yong returned to the palace, saw the prince, carefully put the box up, and reported it carefully, King Ping listened with a frown, without words, only waved his hand to let Zhao Yong retreat.
King Ping sat on the chair for a long time, then slowly opened the box, and gently stroked the token in the box and the heavy cross with her fingertips, she was unwilling to take this box, and the things in this box, Hangu Temple kept her identity as a protector secret, and also obeyed her will, she didn't seem to want to be this protector, why?
After more than half a month, Sun Yi sent two servant girls about thirty years old, Li Qing looked at the two servants, both of them were medium, one was thinner, looked neat and neat, very capable, smiled with a few deep crow's feet in the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were a little cold, and the other had a beautiful and fair face, extremely clean eyes, and a gentle smile on his face. Sun Yi laughed with him and reported respectfully:
"Miss Yu, these two maidservants are the guards of the palace, they are both very good, according to the orders of the master, they specially selected to protect the young lady, one is called Liang Jing, and the other is called Cheng Yan."
Li Qing looked at Sun Yi and the two guards and maids expressionlessly, and nodded silently, these two are open, and there may be secretly, to protect her, and to look at her.
