Chapter 193: Dingzhou

Chapter 193: Dingzhou

At this time, Dingzhou is not as popular as people think. //..

Although the truce, but whether the Qing Dynasty or the Dawa tribe, do not dare to take it lightly, or ready to go to war at any time, the wharf fifteen miles west of Dingzhou, people come and go, many cargo ships with the flag of the Mu family stopped, the previous day to transport the grain, grass and cloth has not been properly placed, new vehicles and ships poured in.

It can also be seen that there are still some achievements in recuperation in recent years.

Although the chaos is terrible, the life of the common people is still as usual, but the incense in the temple is a little more prosperous than usual.

Just near the wharf, there is a Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the name of this temple, although it sounds very loud, but after all, it is located in a remote area, it is actually just a dilapidated small temple, and there is an old monk in the temple who looks profound, with three little apprentices.

In the past, the incense was not prosperous, that little sesame oil money, it was enough for the master and apprentice to eat a mouthful of hot rice, the world was peaceful in recent years, the life of the people of Dingzhou was better, their temple was more popular, in recent months it was a war, and the plague, making people panic, the people who prayed to God and worshiped the Buddha gradually increased, the old monk felt that in two months, they could not only give the Bodhisattva a golden body, but also renovate the temple.

In the early morning, before dawn, another fleet arrived.

After a while, a group of people came down from a second-story ship that looked like a warship.

Surrounded by a group of guards in armor, two girls, supporting a beautiful woman in a hunting costume, seeing this group of people, many people who were in a hurry couldn't help but stop, because the little woman was too beautiful, even the girl beside her. Although the appearance is ordinary, it can only look at the bearing, and it is also an uncommon beauty in Dingzhou.

The old monk looked like a high-ranking monk, and smiled and let the group go to the side hall. Thinking of the incense money that weighed ten taels of silver just now, I couldn't laugh in my heart.

It's a pity that this kind of good thing can't happen often. Otherwise, he would have entrusted the temple to his apprentices and went to live for the rest of his life, where would he still have to work hard every day to chant sutras and recite Buddha, and eat vegetarian food.

Gu Wan held Baosheng, Baoqin's hand, and sat down in the side hall.

This side hall is really a little worse. Not to mention that the beams and pillars were rotten, and even the tables and chairs were full of dust, and Bao Sheng and Bao Qin cleaned up for a long time before they could barely clean up a place where people could sit. //..

Gu Wan didn't care. She is used to being pampered, but she is not unbearable, she lit the lamp by herself, and smiled: "I don't know if Mu Qi has arrived at the camp?" Bao Sheng served Gu Wan a cup of tea with a cleaned cup, and then said in a low voice: "The prince set off two days earlier than us, even if he was delayed in Yazhou, I am afraid that it will also arrive at this time." ”

Dim lighting, old tables and chairs. The mottled Buddha statues, all of this, seemed to constitute a picture full of mystery, and even Gu Wan felt that in such an environment, her heart. It also became quiet.

"It's better to put on a stick of incense." Now that she arrived at the temple, Gu Wan took the incense candle from Baoqin's hand on a whim, offered it to the table, put her hands together, and whispered a few words.

Bao Sheng was curious: "What does the princess ask for?" ”

Gu Wan smiled: "Ask for peace for the country and the people." ”

Baoqin was stunned, Nunu mouthed, didn't speak in the end, Gu Wan knew that this little girl probably thought that what she was asking for should be the eldest brother and Mu Qi, all the relatives were safe and sound, and a wish like 'Guotai Min'an' was too big and a little out of place.

Gu Wan took a deep breath, and what entered her nose was a wonderful sandalwood fragrance, which was not unpleasant, on the contrary, she still liked it a little.

She actually doesn't have such a big heart, thinking about the great cause of the family and the country, she just wants the family to live happily and be together peacefully, but a person like Mu Qi, unless the country and the people are safe, otherwise, how can he be safe, even the eldest brother is also ambitious.

Gu Wan remembered her previous life, and when Gu Anran talked about Xie Chang'an, who was martyred in the Great Zhou Dynasty when the Feng Dynasty captured Quze, she was amazed, and only said that the eldest husband should be like this!

Xie Chang'an is just a weak scholar, only three years as a county order, the Feng Dynasty army, slaughtered nineteen cities, soldiers came to the city, the Great Zhou Dynasty army was defeated, the master persuaded him to surrender, he only sighed and said: "If you surrender, you can protect the people of Quze, it is against the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and I can only surrender, but the enemy army is brutal, where I pass, there is not an inch of grass left, if I surrender, will not send the people of Quze into the mouth of the tiger?" ”

After speaking, Xie Changan organized the righteous army to resist for half a month, the grain and grass were exhausted, and there was no backup.

Gu Anran has always regarded people like Xie Changan as an example to learn, in his previous life, he was full of ambition, he had no opportunity and no strength to do anything, in this life, it would be too embarrassing for him to shrink his head when he encounters difficulties and dangers!

"Princess, let's have some food."

In just a few moments, the two armor-clad guards brought the steaming food, and Bao Sheng and Bao Qin walked over to take it and placed it on the slightly shabby table for Gu Wan.

Gu Wan smiled: "You can also take a break from shifts and eat something, but don't drink." ”

The two guards respectfully agreed. "The princess is temporarily aggrieved, there has been too much chaos in Dingzhou City recently, people from all walks of life have gathered, don't look small in this temple, but the host is not ordinary, and he has a close relationship with Qi Ye, living here is safe."

The guards sent by Mu Qi to escort Gu Wan to Dingzhou were all good hands in the Mu family's army back then, when they were in Dayong, Mu Qi and Shui Bo fought each other, they were all there, and later, Gu Wan saved Mu Qi and taught medical skills in the army, these people are quite familiar with Gu Wan, and their respect for this princess is not just because of her identity.

Gu Wan nodded: "Don't worry about me, you have to be careful, I need to pay attention to all the way, although I haven't heard of the plague in Dingzhou City, but be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, don't be careless and make a mistake." ”

There is no need for Gu Wan to explain this, along the way, Baosheng, Baoqin and this group of guards are like facing a great enemy.

When leaving Beijing, Mu Qi repeatedly explained that they had to be careful to protect the princess, where did they dare to be a little lazy.

At the beginning, when Gu Wan received Chen Hao's so-called information, Mu Qi was very surprised, like Gu Wan, he was quite suspicious that the message should be written on the prince, not the princess, and he didn't want Gu Wan to go to Dingzhou at all.

Even Gu Wan herself, she didn't really want to go.

First, it is not at all certain whether the so-called antidote exists or not. At least according to Liu Chengfeng, Shi Man only made a poison back then, and did not come up with an antidote at all, of course, after such a long time, it is very likely that Shi Man has developed the antidote.

Second, Gu Wan felt that since Chen Hao had to go by himself, he must have a purpose, she was a weak woman who was powerless, and she could only add to the chaos if she went, even if there was an antidote, she didn't know if the other party would obediently contribute the antidote as promised.

It's better to let Mu Qi and them investigate, as long as they are sure that there is an antidote, with the ability of the Mu family, whether it is coercion or temptation, there will always be a chance.

It's a pity that Chen Hao's guy has no news, it is as if he has disappeared from this world, Mu Qi and his master sent all the power under their hands, but they didn't find any clues.

Luo Hongying's side simply tortured An Yi to extract a confession, and I don't know if it was because General Luo was not skilled in the torture work at all, An Yi insisted that he didn't know what poison or antidote was, and he didn't know what Shi Man was the re-transmission of Mr. Qishan...
