Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Prince Arrives (Third Watch)
At night, the golden-eyed eagle descended from the sky, like a dark cloud, and swooped down directly at a gallop, and the target was Huo Yuanzhen's room in Shaolin Temple.
Huo Yuanzhen was originally cultivating on the futon, but when he felt that the golden-eyed eagle was back, he reached out and pushed open the window.
Flicked its wings and entered through the window, the golden-eyed eagle fell to the ground.
Staggered to Huo Yuanzhen's side, Huo Yuanzhen reached out and stroked the big head of the golden-eyed eagle.
This golden-eyed eagle has not been in the Shaolin Temple recently, but has been sent out by himself to follow Ning Wanjun.
Otherwise, he would definitely know where Mo Lan went, and without these eyes in the sky, he would not know where Mo Lan went.
Silently feeling everything the golden-eyed eagle saw, the more Huo Yuanzhen felt, the more frightened he became.
Ning Wanjun is coming back soon, and with her fiancé.
Originally, Huo Yuanzhen thought that Ning Wanjun's fiancé should also be a martial arts person, but what he never expected was that her fiancé turned out to be the current Second Prince His Royal Highness Zhao Yuankui.
The current emperor Zhao Song has three sons and two daughters, of which Zhao Yuanji is the eldest daughter, the eldest son Zhao Yuanbo, the second son Zhao Yuankui, the third son Zhao Yuandong, and the youngest daughter Zhao Yuanying.
Among them, Zhao Song's favorite son is the second son Zhao Yuankui.
When Zhao Song was not the emperor, he had made friends with some people in the rivers and lakes, and Mo Tianxie, the leader of the Demon Sect, had a close relationship with him.
It is said that Zhao Song ascended the throne, and Mo Tianxie made great efforts.
Later, Zhao Song even made a baby kiss with Mo Tianxi, and Mo Tianxie's daughter Ning Wanjun married His Majesty's favorite son Zhao Yuankui when she grew up.
Originally, everyone thought that Zhao Yuankui was going to take over the throne in the future, but there was an accident, when Zhao Yuankui went out, he actually met the old demon Shurakshasa of the rivers and lakes, and for some reason there was a dispute, Shurakshasa killed more than ten of Zhao Yuankui's guards, and then gave Zhao Yuankui a green god palm.
Shurakshasa didn't use much skill, but just let the cold poison of the Qingying Divine Palm invade Zhao Yuankui's body, this poison was extremely domineering, and the emperor couldn't cure it by asking famous doctors all over the world, seeing that Zhao Yuankui was in pain every day but couldn't do anything.
In this way, Zhao Yuankui's desire to serve as the crown prince has come to naught, and no one wants a sick seedling to become the prince.
Zhao Yuankui himself was also very painful, he wanted to leave his children before he died, so he wanted to marry Ning Wanjun.
However, Ning Wanjun didn't like him in the first place and didn't agree to marry him, and Zhao Yuankui's body could probably last for four or five years without a problem, and the two of them made a three-year contract.
Now that Huo Yuanzhen has obtained the relics, during this time, Ning Wanjun went to Chang'an and secretly took Zhao Yuankui over.
As for why he picked it up secretly, of course, it was because Henan was Guan Tianzhao's territory, and if Zhao Yuankui's identity was exposed, it was likely that he would be in danger and become Guan Tianzhao's hostage, as a bargaining chip for a future war with the royal family.
So the two of them drove lightly, and after putting on makeup, they quietly came to Henan with a few subordinates, and now they are only a few dozen miles away from Shaolin Temple, and the golden-eyed eagle took the lead in coming back to report to Huo Yuanzhen.
Of course, it is impossible for the golden-eyed eagle to observe these details, and the news it brought back was that Ning Wanjun came to Shaolin Temple with a prince, and Huo Yuanzhen also deduced something based on this information.
Now it is September 18th, and there are more than ten days left, it is the martial arts conference of the Songshan faction, and Huo Yuanzhen has been cultivating during this time, hoping that his internal strength can increase a little.
But Ning Wanjun brought people back, and Huo Yuanzhen couldn't see it.
Zhao Yuankui hurried overnight, and came to the bottom of the mountain early the next morning, after arriving here, he did not immediately go up the mountain, but rested in the inn for half a day, and after noon, he left for Shaolin.
On the mountain road, Zhao Yuankui took his subordinates, Ning Wanjun also took Xiaocui, and several people walked forward slowly.
Zhao Yuankui's face was pale, and he was a little blue, and he had been troubled by the Qing Shen Divine Palm for many years, which made him look very thin and a little weak.
But although his health was not good, his pride did not subside, and after he began to walk up the mountain, his mouth did not stop.
"This mountain is not bad, the environment is good, and the mountain gate is still decent, but unfortunately, the texture of this step is too poor, and the ordinary bluestone strips cannot show the identity of the temple at all, not to mention compared with the palace, it is more than one grade worse than the Great Xiangguo Temple, Wanjun, are you sure that this temple has relics? Can it cure the emperor's own illness?"
When he came, it was agreed that Zhao Yuankui would call himself Huang Gongzi, but unfortunately he couldn't control his mouth, and wanted to keep his identity on his lips all the time, so that people could remember that he was the prince.
Ning Wanjun didn't look at him squarely, and said lightly: "Huang Gongzi said that Wanjun doesn't dare to agree, the good and bad of a temple are not reflected on the steps, just like a country, you see how powerful and rich he is from the outside, but in fact, how many hidden worries are inside? I'm afraid Huang Gongzi knows better than me." ”
Zhao Yuankui's face was a little unsightly, and he said to Ning Wanjun: "This statement is biased, how can a temple be compared with the country?"
"Then don't talk about the country, let's talk about people, Huang Gongzi, your status is noble, and outsiders respect you, but you must know what kind of life you live, not to mention whether that position has your share, that is, there is your share, if there is no miracle, I am afraid that you will not be able to sit on it for a day. ”
Zhao Yuankui was really a little angry this time, and said to Ning Wanjun: "Wanjun, don't say too much, you can refuse me now, but can you be sure that I must not be able to recover? If I recover, that position is still mine, I don't believe it, when I have that identity, can you still refuse me? If you don't want me to recover, why do you find this Shaolin Temple to heal me?"
"Huang Gongzi, Wanjun wants to heal you, definitely not greedy for any position, as for why we have already made it clear, Wanjun just hopes that since you have come to Shaolin, you must believe in them, otherwise Huang Gongzi can turn around and leave now, and Wanjun will never stop it." ”
In the face of Ning Wanjun's sharp words, Zhao Yuankui couldn't speak, although he didn't look down on this Shaolin Temple in his heart, but in order for his injuries to be cured, he had to come, and nothing could compare with his future.
Seeing that Zhao Yuankui was repeatedly deflated in front of Ning Wanjun, his subordinates hurriedly diverted the topic next to him, looked at the mountain, and then said softly: "Son, this monk of Shaolin Temple is really rude, I have already sent Xiao Chengzi here this morning to communicate, saying that there is a distinguished guest coming, let the Shaolin monk come out to greet him, why haven't I seen a figure until now?"
Zhao Yuankui glanced at his subordinates appreciatively, and then said to Ning Wanjun: "Wanjun, what Xiao Shunzi said is right, he has already given Shaolin a notice, and no one has come out to greet him, isn't this too rude, if this time he cures his son, if he is not cured well, then his son will definitely punish them!"
Ning Wanjun glanced at the little shunzi and said coldly, "You notified Shaolin?"
"Yes, Miss Ning, wherever our son-in-law goes, we must notify us in advance, not to mention this Shaolin Temple, it is the Daxiangguo Temple, and it must also be lined up to welcome our son-in-law." ”
"You told me who your son-in-law is?"
Xiao Shunzi nodded: "Yes, I said it, otherwise we wouldn't blame them for not coming out to greet them." ”
"Stupid!"
Ning Wanjun spit out these two words, Zhao Yuankui's face changed, and he said to Ning Wanjun: "Why did Wanjun speak like this?"
"Huang Gongzi, have you forgotten what kind of place this is? This is not Chang'an? This is Henan, it is the jurisdiction of the Jiedu Embassy, your identity here is not only not good for you, I am afraid it is also harmful, have you forgotten what the situation is now? Have you forgotten that when you came from Luoyang, you almost were identified by someone?"
Ning Wanjun's face changed drastically, and the sweat on Zhao Yuankui's head came down in an instant, yes, how could you forget this stubble, if Guan Tianzhao knew that he had come to Henan, it would be over.
"Also, you are actually embarrassed to blame Shaolin, if the Shaolin monks go out to greet them now, can you think of what the consequences will be?"
Zhao Yuankui hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat and said to Ning Wanjun: "What Wanjun said is that this time it is indeed the negligence of my son, and he will never make this mistake again in the future." ”
After finishing speaking, he shook his hand and slapped Xiao Shunzi: "Bastard, do you want to kill me? If this son makes a mistake, he will be the first to pick your skin!"
Xiao Shunzi couldn't pat the horse's ass, slapped it on the horse's hooves, and begged for mercy again and again with a sad face.
"Enough, don't play your prestige here, it's not good to be eye-catching. ”
was reprimanded by Ning Wanjun again, Zhao Yuankui didn't dare to say anything, this Ning Wanjun, who had been married to him since he was a child, had never given himself a good face, although he was a prince, he was pressed to death by Ning Wanjun.
The group finally came to the Shaolin Gate, at this time the Shaolin Mountain Gate was wide open, and there was an endless stream of pilgrims.
"The incense is good, if they really succeed this time, this son will let the Zen master of Daxiangguo Temple come to Shaolin ** for them, so that their incense will be more vigorous. ”
Zhao Yuankui thought that he had completely good intentions when he spoke this time, after all, the Zen Master Lizhi of Daxiangguo Temple is a famous monk in the world, and it is definitely a great honor to come to this small temple in Shaolin to give them **.
But as soon as he finished speaking, another pilgrim next to him suddenly spoke: "This son, are you talking about the Zen Master Lizhi of Daxiangguo Temple?"
"Exactly!"
"Forget it! Zen Master Lizhi is just an incompetent person who deceives the world and steals his name, and he was completely refuted by our abbot in Fawang Temple, so he is embarrassed to come to Shaolin Temple again to be embarrassed? It's just a joke to come again. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a pilgrim pulled him over there: "Hurry up, what are you talking about with these hillbillies who have never seen the world, and the incense should not be ranked again at night." ”
Looking at those pilgrims looking at him like a hillbilly, Zhao Yuankui was stunned.
This prince is a hillbilly who has never seen the world? Who are these people talking about?
