Li Xiaoqi helped Danyue, fell behind the Yan family's daughters and stepped out of the courtyard door, Xi'an Yao, who was dressed as a coachman, looked at Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi paused, and asked in a low voice: "The sachet that Dr. Shan asked me to carry, I seem to have forgotten it in the car." Danyue paused slightly, and hurriedly whispered, "How can that sachet leave her body?" The girl is really! Girl, wait a minute, I'll let Xiao An pick it up! Li Xiaoqi nodded embarrassedly, Danyue took her skirt and ordered Xi'an, hurried back to help Li Xiaoqi continue to walk forward, and said in a low voice: "Dachang's words, the eldest prince and the princess want to come to Baiyun Temple to offer incense, and they will go out of the city gate a quarter of an hour ago." Li Xiaoyi's eyes narrowed slightly, the eldest prince rarely goes out, is this trip temporary? Or did you plan for it? Want to come here in time for a peace of mind? The opportunity is rare, if you can see this big prince at a glance, and only when you meet can you know people. Li Xiaoqi quickly turned his mind, frowned, and leaned closer to Danyue, as if he was too tired to support it.
Danyue understood, and explained to the mother-in-law next to her worriedly: "•••••• girl has been sick for a long time, and she was seriously ill again a while ago, and after sitting in the car for so long, she can't support it!" Girl, slow down! Several mothers-in-law looked at Li Xiaoqi who was pale and panting with pity, and a mother-in-law in charge hurriedly walked forward, whispered to Mrs. An, Mrs. An stopped her steps, waited for Li Xiaoqi to slowly move over, looked at her carefully and said: "Look at your face, this girl is really distressing, I think it's better not to go in, hurry up and let people wait for you to go back to the yard to rest, and then there are dozens of steps up, you can't go up!" Li Xiaoqi didn't hold on, gasped and thanked Mrs. An sadly, and said gently: "•••••• has added these troubles to the old ancestor, I want to go home, and then come to talk to the old ancestor when I am better." ”
"Whether it's good or not, you wait carefully!" Mrs. An agreed, and then looked at the light moon and ordered heavily, the light moon hurriedly agreed, and helped Li Xiaoqi to bend her knees and retreat, next to her mother-in-law had already carried a sedan chair over, Li Xiaoqi got on the sedan chair, and the light moon held the sedan chair railing, and walked all the way down the mountain, several mothers-in-law of Yan Mansion watched Li Xiaoqi get into the car, and the car slowly went back in the direction of Taiping Mansion, only then did she check the purse in her hand, and went back with a smile.
Li Xiaoqi's car turned a corner along the mountain road, and stopped on the side of the road, the light moon waited for Li Xiaoqi to quickly change into the indigo coarse cloth skirt worn by ordinary village girls, curled her hair, and wrapped it with a blue printed head cloth, Xi'an looked around left and right, saw that there was no one around, lifted the curtain to signal Li Xiaoqi, Li Xiaoqi jumped out of the car briskly, Xi'an, Nanning and Changchang three people protected, a few steps flashed into the mountains and forests next to it, the light moon looked at the mountains and forests where Li Xiaoqi disappeared worriedly through the curtain, and the two guards drove the car, Unhurriedly, I went back to the Taiping Mansion.
The three of them protected Li Xiaoqi in the middle, watched the surroundings, climbed along the mountain forest for less than a quarter of an hour, and then went up the mountain road made of bluestone steps, merged into the crowd of Sheri Shangxiang, and walked to the Baiyun Temple on the mountain. Li Xiaoqi quietly looked around, like her blue cloth head, a clean indigo coarse cloth dress of the village's daughters-in-law and girls are many, they are scattered in the middle, inconspicuous, Li Xiaoqi settled down in his heart, followed the long-term, like a brother and sister gossiping, with the flow of people to the mountain, Nanning and Xi'an crowded left and right in the crowd to follow, a group of four people followed the crowd to the front of the Baiyun Temple.
Li Xiaoqi stopped and rested beside the mulberry tree in the corner of the Buddhist wall outside the temple gate, turned around for a long time, and said in a low voice: "There is a steward who has passed on a message, saying that he can't disturb the people, so he will rejoice." Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows, he couldn't disturb the people, that is, he couldn't tell the temple? It seems that you want to burn incense with the people? Sing a drama that is close to the people like a child?
"Let's go in and wait." Li Xiaoqi commanded in a low voice, and said "um" in the long run, walked a few steps forward with Li Xiaoyi, took out a few big money and bought two handfuls of incense at the stall at the entrance of the temple, one person took one handful, and followed the flow of men and women left and right into the temple, and worshiped the Bodhisattva one by one in front of the main hall.
The shadow of the day is getting shorter, an honest farmer boy muttered in his mouth, and Chang Yuan knelt down in one place and kowtowed, and the Zhuang boy moved to the next Bodhisattva and kowtowed, Chang Chang motioned Li Xiaoqi to go out, and said: "Come, come in from the main gate of the mountain gate." Nanning and Xi'an followed left and right, and as soon as the four of them walked out of the main hall, they heard a commotion in front of them, and the crowd rushed forward, Nanning and Xi'an gathered over, tightly guarding Li Xiaoyi, and the long term was in front, pushing the crowd all the way, and soon squeezed to the front, and fell to the ground with the crowd.
Li Xiaoqi looked intently at the eldest prince standing in the middle of the courtyard, wearing a silver-white cloak outside the royal blue robe, in his thirties, medium stature, already a little fat, very fair-skinned, the face of the dough was full of kind smiles, the whole person looked kind and easy, was bending over, talking to an old poor woman with only a handful of bones and a skin, Li Xiaoqi squinted his eyes, his eyes turned to the eldest princess Song who was standing behind the eldest prince with a smile on her face, compared to the eldest prince, the Song family was too thin and thin, The cheekbones are slightly prominent, and the smile on the thin lips is so thick that it can't be dissolved, but it can't hide the superior and unusual pride. Li Xiaoqi sighed secretly, this Song family is not like a master of the world! Li Xiaoqi quietly moved to the side, stared at the eldest prince for a while, and quietly retreated, the four of them retreated to the corner of the hall, Nanning gently pulled Li Xiaoyi's sleeve, and whispered in a low voice: "There is armor in the clothes." Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Nanning, Nanning met Li Xiaoyi's gaze, nodded affirmatively, Li Xiaoqi bit his lip, his mind turned quickly, the eldest prince has barely left the house since he returned to the Taiping Mansion, and came to this Baiyun Temple, as if he had just made a temporary move out of the city gate, wearing armor in his clothes••••••
He was afraid! Fear that someone is going to assassinate him! Who is he afraid of? Hum! Who else could there be! A smile flashed at the corner of Li Xiaoyi's mouth, signaled to the three of them, quietly retreated to an ancient tree that was uninhabited, looked at Xi'an and asked, "You are good at poison, I heard that people who are good at poison like to carry poisonous snakes with them, do you have any ones on you?" Xi'an nodded, Li Xiaoqi was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Can you find an opportunity to throw the snake on the eldest prince?" ”
"It's easy." Xi'an simply nodded and replied, Li Xiaoyi's eyebrows fluttered, he bit his lip and thought about it carefully, turned his head to look at Xi'an and Nanning and ordered: "If you throw the snake, quickly retreat, be careful, don't let people target it, Xi'an threw the snake, you just keep an eye on it, see how the eldest prince handles it, be careful!" Nanning and Xi'an agreed softly, their eyes vigilant and their expressions looked at the left and right calmly, and they each disappeared into the crowd. Li Xiaoqi and Chang Yuan didn't dare to delay more, and followed the crowd along the main hall to squeeze out all the way out of the temple.
Li Xiaoqi went down the mountain, exhaled a long breath, tiredly climbed to another ordinary half-used car waiting at the bottom of the mountain, put his hands together and recited a few words of Buddha, the car was pulled by an old cow, swaying slowly and slowly going back to the direction of Taipingfu, not too long, Nanning hurriedly followed, jumped next to the coachman and sat down, lifted the curtain, turned his head and reported to Li Xiaoqi: "Okay, there are too many people in the temple, there is no way to search, the snake failed to get close to the prince, three or four steps away from the prince, it was cut into two pieces by the guard, and the guard picked up the snake, Escorting the eldest prince and the princess into the main hall, I couldn't follow up, so I came back. Li Xiaoqi listened attentively, nodded slowly, turned his head to look at the long term, and asked in a low voice, "Is there enough manpower in the eldest prince's place?" ”
"Enough! Rest assured, girl. Nodding in response, Li Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back, the car turned into a grove and stopped, Li Xiaoqi jumped out of the car, changed into a paulownia wood wrapped copper car surrounded by dark green checkered plain silk, and changed the indigo coarse cloth dress on his body in the shaking car, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
At the foot of Baiyun Mountain, a young guard rushed down the mountain, rushed to the middle of the chariot and attendants waiting for the eldest prince at the bottom of the mountain, hurriedly shouted for his horse to come over, turned over and got on the horse, waved his whip again and again, urged the horse, and hurried back in the direction of Taiping Mansion.
The galloping horses rushed through a sharp bend, and suddenly an ox cart appeared in front of them, and the guard hurriedly pulled his horse and flashed to the side of the road, and the ox cart driver screamed in panic, and the cart followed the guard to the same side, and I don't know where a stick flew out of the car, and swept at the guard, and hit the guard on the head heavily, and the guard snorted, and fell off the horse.
The panicked coachman neatly stretched out his hand to pull the neighing horse, two young men dressed as porters flew out of the car, pounced on the guards who fainted on the ground, skillfully and quickly searched the guards inside and out, looked at them, a porter took a porcelain bottle and shook it under the guard's nose, the two quickly flashed into the bushes next to it, the coachman let go of the horse, kicked over the ox cart, squatted next to the car, and cried in horror. The guard woke up with a golden star in his eyes, stretched out his hand and touched his arms, greatly relieved, hurriedly staggered to get up, turned around a few times before stabilizing his body, rushed over and grabbed the reins, turned around, and whipped seven or eight whips at the coachman's head and face before he could vent his anger, turned over on his horse, and hurried back to Taiping Mansion to deliver the letter.
