Chapter Forty-Six: Join Hands and Torture the Dog to Death
The next day, when Xia Qian came to copy the scriptures, she found that Lu Jingheng had already painted Guanyin Bodhisattva next to the scriptures she had copied.
Seeing his focused expression, the Yangliu Guanyin in the pen is holding a clean bottle, stepping on the red lotus, dignified and full of compassion, and I can't help but sigh in my heart.
Although this champion is talented and elegant, if he hadn't ascended to the position of the master of the horse, even if he was covered by the halo of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would not be able to sit on an equal footing with Kuo Tianchen.
It's just that the profound land realm balance of the city government can draw the great mercy and compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva to the extreme, which is indeed unexpected.
Sighing silently, Xia Qian walked under the high wall outside the front yard, climbed on the tall wooden frame, and carefully copied the scriptures.
Facing the gentle breeze and the warm autumn sun, unconsciously, she copied it, and it was two hours.
"Let's take a break!"
Lu Jingheng's voice came from behind her, and Xia Qian turned her head to see that the other party was standing under the stilted wooden frame, looking at her with a gentle expression.
She carefully climbed down along the stilted wooden frame, Lu Jingheng frowned, quickly stabilized the ladder, and stretched out an arm towards her.
"Oops! In broad daylight, the pure land of Buddhism can actually see such a scene of concubines! β
A loud voice came from not far away, Xia Qian looked back, and found that Kuo Tianchen was walking towards him with a hippie smile, followed by hundreds of sweaty recruits.
"The training task is heavy, the time is tight, and the broad commander does not urge them to train, so can they come here to ask the Buddha to burn incense?" Lu Jingheng frowned lightly and said dissatisfiedly to Kuo Tianchen.
"This is a royal temple, how can they be qualified to burn incense and worship Buddha. It was the commander who wanted to come to worship the Bodhisattva, and by the way, he took them to climb the mountain for training, and he wanted to rest outside the front yard, but he didn't want to disturb the interest of the horses! β
As soon as Kuo Tianchen said this, the recruits behind him burst into laughter.
The temporary training camp is a small branch of the pro-military battalion, and to put it bluntly, it is to supply the pro-military battalion with fresh blood.
Lu Jingheng is not treated by the princess, and the whole city knows it, and he is pressed by Kuo Tianchen in the pro-military camp, so he naturally has no status.
As for the training camp for recruiting recruits, because of Huo Zun's reasons, Kuo Tianchen ran back and forth every now and then, and the recruits were a lot of people who patted him and walked his horses, and there were even more people who bullied and ridiculed Huo Zun who concealed his identity.
Similarly, at the instigation of Kuo Tianchen, few people took this polite and polite horse master in their eyes.
"Hey! How do I think that the Bodhisattva statue written by the Deputy Commander of the Landing is all a face, like this woman climbing on a wooden frame? β
The recruits followed the direction he pointed and looked at Xia Qian from a distance.
Kuo Tianchen raised his head and smiled, and raised his voice suddenly: "Huo Yi, what do you say?" β
Huo Zun's fame first came from his great military exploits and the emperor's name, and later, he became popular because of his drunken and chaotic nature, disappointing the princess, and losing his future.
However, the reputation is big and the face is raw.
He joined the army at the age of fifteen and returned to Qinglong City at the age of eighteen, and there were really not many people who had seen him, except for the Huo family army and the soldiers in the pro-military camp.
No one in the training camp knew him, and no one would associate this inconspicuous, bullied recruit with the invincible young general.
Seeing that he didn't make a sound, a group of recruits followed and coaxed: "It's like, it's too similar!" β
"The broad commander is here to worship the Buddha and worship incense, since he thinks that these Bodhisattvas and her are the same face, it is better to worship here. When she's happy, maybe she'll help you up! β
"You, so daring! This is a royal temple, how dare you call her a bodhisattva? β
Lu Jingheng chuckled lightly and retorted unhurriedly: "When did I say that?" But you, in front of everyone's eyes, with so many recruits in front of the royal temple to show off your might, still don't know whether to live or die and say that the Bodhisattva and her have the same face. As a royal king, where do you place the majesty of the royal family? Where are the four bodhisattvas? β
Kuo Tianchen's face was stunned, and he couldn't talk for a long time.
Lu Jingheng glanced at those recruits solemnly, and continued to ask: "You, you, you, trespassing on the royal temple is already a capital crime, and comparing the Bodhisattva enshrined in the royal temple with a mortal, can you know that the 'great disrespect' is to connect the nine clans?" β
When the recruits heard this, they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The recruits in the back kept running to the top of the hill, blocking the water pavilion on the periphery of the courtyard.
Lu Jingheng dealt with Kuo Tianchen unhurriedly, and the fingers under Xia Qian's armpit never left.
Xia Qian thought for a while, grabbed his arm and slowly lay down the ladder.
"Haha, hahaha! The horse master is really clever, they didn't even enter the front yard, how could they offend the royal majesty? It's clear that you are cheating here behind the princess's back, and you bite back, saying that we have offended the royal majesty! β
Kuo Tianchen looked at the "intimacy" and behavior of the two people, and finally sorted out a wisp of thought and diverted the topic of Lu Jingheng.
Xia Qian stood firm, looked at him with the stilted wooden frame, and chuckled: "The holy land of Buddhism, naturally you must be compassionate. The master of the horse is just a bodhisattva who is afraid that I will fall, if you stand on it, I will also help you! β
"Help me? Ha ha! Huo Yi, she said he wanted to help me! Kuo Tianchen laughed wildly, glanced at the crowd, and ordered: "I want her to stand in line, come one by one!" β
The name "Huo Yi" was pronounced twice from Kuo Tianchen's mouth, she didn't expect Huo Zun, it just fell on her ears, and it was difficult to stop in her heart.
He was like a stinger dug out of her heart, although it hurt, but after the wound healed, nothing was left except a faint scar.
Seeing that the recruits who had been scared stupid gradually came to their senses, Kuo Tianchen used his skills and spread his arms and flew towards the stilted wooden frame.
Wow β
At the moment when he landed on the shelf, the huge impact caused the already crumbling wooden frame to scatter, and Kuo Tianchen fell to the ground along with the inkstone, pen and ink on the wooden frame.
"Ahh
There was a loud shout, and when Kuo Tianchen came back to his senses, a small bucket of ink had already blackened half of his gauntlet.
When he fell, his back was pressed against the large inkstone of the plate, and the brown-yellow cloak was printed with a circle, on which the brush happened to brush a fist-sized head.
"What broke the ladder and killed the king? That turtle grandson did it? β
Kuo Tianchen sat on the ground, looked at Xia Qian angrily, and left the recruit with a tortoise-dyed back.
The recruits looked at him dumbfounded, covering their mouths and smiling, not daring to burst laughter out of their throats.
"Have you laughed enough? Come and help me! He turned his head sideways, deliberately glanced at the crowd, and said provocatively to Xia Qian.
"Good! I've always counted when I speak, so I'll help you! β
After saying that, Xia Qian stepped forward, held Kuo Tianchen's palm and helped him up.
It's not so much a help, but a wipe on his hand.
Kuo Tianchen smiled in his mouth, clenched her wrist as if grabbing a fairy stunner, and got up from the ground pretendedly.
"Ahh
Just when he got up and didn't stand firmly, his ass sank and he sat directly on the ground.
When the soldiers saw his funny "performance", the laughter that had been suppressed in their stomachs for a long time instantly erupted.
"Plague! Plagueβ"
Kuo Tianchen shouted, got up from the ground, and rushed towards the recruit pile as if he had seen a ghost.
In the wild laughter, those who reacted quickly had already jumped back in a panic, and those who reacted slowly were still looking up and laughing.
"Grandson Turtle, I make you laugh! Plague, plague! Hurry up and disperse! Kuo Tianchen glared at everyone angrily, and hurriedly said.
There was chaos all around, and the recruits quickly retreated dozens of steps away, and Kuo Tianchen, who was still stirring up trouble just now, had already disappeared into the crowd like lightning.
"What are you doing here? There are 3,000 soldiers in the temporary training camp, and a mere plague scares you like this? When it is transmitted to Linguo, where does the face of my Dayi country remain? β
An angry female voice rang out in the crowd, and Xia Qian looked for a voice to see the woman who had reminded her of the unstable wooden frame yesterday.
This person, standing proudly in the crowd, although he is a woman, his momentum is not inferior to that of a man.
"Concubine Yun!"
"Concubine Yun!"
Kuo Tianchen and Lu Jingheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and from the reactions of these two people, it was not difficult to see that this person had an extraordinary status in the palace.
Seeing this, the recruits knelt on the ground densely.
Xia Qian was stunned and hurriedly saluted.
Concubine Rong glanced at the recruits who were kneeling on the ground, her eyes fell on Kuo Tianchen, and she reprimanded sternly: "Deputy Commander Lu came here to paint because of the recommendation of the palace, and the abbot of the temple personally invited it, and the emperor specially approved it. If the broad commander is dissatisfied with the emperor or the Fahua Temple, he can recommend another newcomer. Being unreasonable here not only messes around the purity of Buddhism, but also damages the royal majesty, which is not compatible with your identity as a small prince, and even more unworthy of the identity of the great commander! β
Vexatious?
Dissatisfied with the emperor?
Messing around the Buddha Gate is pure?
Not worthy of the status of Grand Commander?
Concubine Yun's teachings fell on Kuo Tianchen's ears with only these few words.
Knowing that he had caused a catastrophe and that it would not take a few hours to reach the emperor's ears, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Concubine Yun, I ......" Kuo Tianchen finally reacted, and when he was about to explain, Concubine Yun had already entered the temple and disappeared without a trace.
