Chapter 102: Out of Reach
Lin Jiaruo felt that he had accomplished a lot of things today, returned home happily, and ran to Xu Yaoning with a little pride.
first talked about the news that Zhichen left safely, and then mentioned his actions to deal with Fei Chengfeng "lightly", and finally asked modestly: "I don't know if this new rule can stop General Fei Xiao, does my mother have any better ideas?" ”
Then his eyes were shining and waiting for Xu Yaoning's exclamation and praise.
It's a pity that it didn't wait.
Not only was there no unexpected surprise and pride in the expectation, but even her mother frowned, her face sank like water, as if she had heard something extremely inappropriate.
Lin Jiaruo "chuckled" in her heart, and hurriedly went through today's events in her mind, but still didn't find any flaws, so she had to ask Xu Yaoning pitifully: "Mother, is there anything wrong?" ”
Xu Jiaoning still didn't speak, her hand unconsciously put on the tea table, and her fingers habitually knocked twice, but she didn't knock out the "knock" sound on the tea table.
Lin Jiaruo found out that there was a letter on the tea table, which had been opened.
"Whose letter is this?" Lin Jiaruo asked vigilantly.
Since last autumn, Xu Yaoning seems to have changed as a person, and she doesn't deliberately hide many things from Lin Jiaruo, such as the martial arts strong wooden guards around her, and the mysterious letters that appear from time to time.
Hearing Lin Jiaruo's question, Xu Jiaoning's eyes fell on the letter heavily, and he was silent for a while before he sighed and spoke: "Ah Ruo, Master Duyun is dead......
Lin Jiaruo was shocked: "How could he die?" ”
Xu Jiaoning's eyebrows tightened: "After the debate of the three sects, many Buddhist disciples refused to accept the argument, which made the emperor Longyan angry, and convicted Master Duyun of instigating chaos, plus Yunlin Temple harbored anti-thieves, and finally sentenced Master Duyun to be burned at the stake!" ”
Lin Jiaruo was stunned: "What is burning at the stake?" ”
Xu Haoning paused, glanced at her carefully, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and whispered: "It's a kind of death penalty, Master Duyun has been sentenced to death, and he has already been executed and died......"
She hugged Lin Jiaruo with one hand and gently patted her back with the other, regretting telling her these things, after all, Ah Ruo was only seven years old.
Master Ke Duyun's death was a month earlier than she remembered, and all the deviations from the memories of her previous life inevitably disturbed her.
In the previous life, after the monks of Yunlin Temple were escorted into Beijing, Master Duyun and the disciples in the temple were executed for the crime of treason, after that, in the territory of Daliang, the Buddha burned the scriptures, drove the monks to break the tower, and the treasure temple Garan was a secular house, and the Shamen was all white-clothed, until she was reborn, and only saw the Taoist temple without seeing the Buddhist temple.
Lin Jiaruo was silent in her arms for only a moment, and after digesting the news, she pushed Xu Jiaoning away and stood up straight, frowning hurriedly: "What about my master?" Didn't they go to save Master Duyun? Is there anything wrong with my master? ”
This was another thing that made Xu Jiaoning unspeakable, she pondered and said: "Qingyunmen united some people from other sects to rob the Dharma field together, but it seems that there are already precautions over there, and the rescue failed, and there are some casualties......"
"What about my master?" Lin Jiaruo asked again emphatically.
Xu Yaoning shook his head: "I don't know where I am." ”
"What does it mean to be missing?" Lin Jiaruo really hated this kind of unclear statement.
"The dead people have all been hung up for public display, and there is no one among them, your master-" Xu Jiaoning explained in plain words as much as possible, "she may have been arrested, or she may have been rescued, and my people did not find her." ”
Lin Jiaruo nervously tugged at Xu Wanning's clothes, and said dryly: "Mother......"
Xu Yaoning hurriedly comforted softly: "Don't worry, my mother will continue to arrange for someone to search and rescue your master." ”
Lin Jiaruo nodded, and slowly lowered his heart, but before it could be implemented, he was brought up by another thing.
"Mother, Brother Zhichen wants to go to Beijing to save Master Duyun!" Master Duyun is dead, what should Brother Zhichen do?
Xu Jiaoning's face sank again.
When I heard Lin Jiaruo say that Zhichen had left Yuhang, she was also thinking about this in her heart, she could still have a guess about Long Yujiao, but Zhichen went, but she couldn't guess the follow-up at all, but she intuitively felt that something would happen.
The daughter in front of her was still looking at her worriedly, Xu Haoning thought for a little and pulled Lin Jiaruo into the back room.
On the dresser, the paper was spread and the ink was polished, and the pen was like a snake, but after a while, a letter was written, stamped with a small seal, and Bai Ling was called in, and ordered: "This letter will be sent to the capital quickly, and another person will be sent along the road to the capital to look for Zhichen, and if he finds it, tell him the news of the capital-" After thinking about it, he said, "Let him decide the rest!" ”
The master's hatred is like the father's hatred, and they have no position to persuade him to give up.
Lin Jiaruo looked at her mother's quiet and decisive actions and words, and couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration in her heart, but she felt that Xu Jiaoning, who looked like this, was a little unfamiliar, and for a while, she was silent.
Xu Jianning thought that she was still worried about Zhichen, so she comforted: "Don't worry, even if Zhichen insists on going to Beijing for revenge, my mother will let people protect him as much as possible......"
Lin Jiaruo nodded silently.
I can't figure it out, how can the big events that happened in the rumors on the streets and alleys of the capital and the Son of Heaven that are so far away have something to do with the people around her? It's still such a powerful relationship......
For several days, Lin Jiaruo was depressed because she was worried about the safety of Long Yujiao and Zhichen.
Soon, it attracted the attention of the sisters in the family.
After starting school this year, Lin Jiaruo's schedule has been adjusted somewhat, going to school in the morning, practicing calligraphy for half an hour and archery for half an hour after taking a nap in the afternoon, and practicing martial arts at night.
The plan is like this, but there are inevitably unplanned things to happen.
For example, this afternoon, before she finished practicing calligraphy, her two sisters came hand in hand.
Lin Jiaruo is not the kind of person who is strict with himself, and when he saw the guests, he put down his pen and asked with some curiosity: "Is there something wrong?" Both looked serious.
"Ah Ruo, don't be afraid!" As soon as Lin Jialan opened her mouth, a cloud of mist came over, and Lin Jiaruo was dazed when she heard it.
She had a pair of clear and clear eyes, childish and innocent, which made Lin Jialan feel distressed, and her face showed the righteousness of the same hatred and hatred: "Don't worry, although the eldest brother is not at home, there is still a third brother!" Let the third brother come forward to persuade first, we will salute first and then the soldiers, if he doesn't listen, let the third uncle deliver a post to the magistrate's yamen! ”
Ah Ruo is too sensible, afraid of causing trouble to the family, so she endured it herself, if it weren't for Ah Quan to inquire in every way, she wouldn't know that it was also her dereliction of duty as the eldest sister, and she didn't even know that her little sister was bullied!
"If the eldest brother is at home, ......" Lin Jialan thought ashamedly, the eldest brother is a thoughtful person, and he can take care of everything, so that Ah Ruo will not suffer so many days of grievances!
Lin Jiaruo was still confused: "What's wrong with me?" ”
