Chapter 99: Liu Yong captures the murderer
The carriage had been walking far along the street and passed through another city gate, and Liu Yong realized that a temple had appeared not far ahead.
The temples of the Three Kingdoms period are not very common, at that time, Buddhism has just been introduced, Tan Ke Jialuo, Tan Di, Kang Seng Kai and so on have only been to Luoyang and Sun Wu's Jianye, the people of Shu Han except for a few people who have read Cao Zhi's Fanbei, few people believe. More of them still believe in the Taiping Sect founded by Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and the Wudou Rice Sect founded by Zhang Daoling.
Although at that time, almost all of these believers were wiped out by the imperial court, there were still secret organizations among the people, and it can be said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Taoism was enough to crush the existence of Buddhism.
Therefore, being able to see the temple here, even Liu Yong felt a little strange.
The carriage stopped in front of the temple gate, and someone lifted the curtain and helped the wizard down and into the temple.
Liu Yong's horse stopped not far from the car.
"Your Majesty is not allowed to enter at the gate, lest you alarm the people inside." Lian Ji caught up from behind and said.
The two dismounted and came to the back of the temple.
Here, another car was parked, and several young men in civilian clothes with hidden knives stood next to it.
"Your Majesty only needs to wait here, and it won't take a moment for the people inside to come out. But......" Lian hesitated to roll his eyes, and admonished, "I know that you are hot-tempered, but you must not be angry because of it. ”
Liu Yong was silent.
Although the carriage looked very ordinary, Liu Yong seemed to have a very familiar feeling.
After about a stick of incense, the back door opened, and the first to come out were the girls just now, who bowed their heads slightly, showing great respect for the people who were about to come out.
Then came out the big men.
The crowd parted to the sides.
Liu Yong stared at the door.
He saw the scene he didn't want to see the most, and he was also the most worried about seeing it, the person who came out turned out to be the Empress Dowager Wu dressed in ordinary clothes.
Behind the Empress Dowager Wu, she was also followed by Ling'er and Chen Ji, who looked like a thief.
"This person is the one who invited you, Your Majesty has seen it clearly." Lian lost no time in whispering behind Liu Yong.
Liu Yong's hands were shaking.
"Your Majesty, do you know the words of the people in my Chengdu city?" Lian said again.
Liu Yong clenched his teeth and remained silent.
Lian Yu didn't seem to notice Liu Yong's expression, and whispered, "The people all say: It is not Your Majesty who repels the enemy army, but this stranger from the south. If he hadn't cast a spell behind his back, Cao Wei's army would not have withdrawn from the capital, and the lost prefectures and counties would not have been retracted so quickly. The Queen Mother did this, but also to cater to the psychology of the people, but also for the sake of His Majesty's society, even if His Majesty is angry, he should also try his best to restrain it. ”
Before Lian He's words were finished, Liu Yong's body shook, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
At the beginning, Liu Chan was because he believed that sorcerers could save the country, so he was taken advantage of by Cao Wei, and now, he has just repelled the enemy army, and he is about to take advantage of the victory to recover the last few states and counties, but he doesn't want the queen mother to make trouble behind his back.
If this matter spreads in the army, it will immediately disintegrate the fighting spirit of the army, and the Shu Han regime will cease to exist.
Especially when I saw Chen Ji, the villain who had collaborated with the enemy several times and wanted to put himself to death, he would even appear by the side of the queen mother in a big way.
Liu Yong was squeezed by great anger and despair, leaned back, and fell into Lian Ji's arms.
Lian Yi was frightened, and worried that he would be discovered by Empress Dowager Wu and others, so he hurriedly picked up Liu Yong, put him on horseback, and led the horse away.
By the time he found Qi Zhen and the others, Liu Yong had already woken up.
"Why is Your Majesty like this?" Qi Zhen was shocked.
Liu Yong struggled to jump off his horse and drew his long sword from his side.
"General Qi will take this sword and capture the demon back to the palace, don't delay on the way, if you encounter obstacles, no matter who you are, you can immediately kill him."
"Your Majesty, no." Lian Yu said, "This matter is very important, if the Queen Mother knows about it, I am afraid it will be detrimental to Your Majesty." ”
Liu Yong pushed Lian Yi away and looked at him with bloodshot eyes.
Although Lian Ji and Liu Yong were the same brothers, when they saw Liu Yong like this, they also felt a little scared, and they didn't dare to say anything, so they ordered a few people who came with him, "You wait and go with General Qi, and after capturing this person, return to the palace immediately." ”
Everyone said yes, and Pegasus left.
Not long after Empress Dowager Wu returned to the palace, a palace maid came in a hurry.
"Empress Dowager Qiqi, after Your Majesty returned to Jiangzhou to inspect and came back, he went out again, who knew that he was sick after coming back, and now, several imperial doctors have just arrived, and the slaves and maids inquired about it, and the imperial doctor said that His Majesty is caused by anger and anger, does the Queen Mother Chitose want to visit it?"
Empress Dowager Wu was shocked.
"How could my emperor suddenly get sick?"
Ling'er, who was standing on the side, was also slightly startled, but soon she calmed down, and said in a strange whisper, "Don't you know that the Queen Mother doesn't know that Your Majesty went to Jiangzhou this time, but she has to walk with the Queen Mother for a few days, and the Queen Mother has not returned, but Her Majesty has come back first, it is obvious that she has been sick on the way, and the Queen Mother needs to ask about this matter in person." ”
Ling'er has always hated her very much because she was beaten by Empress Zhang last time and forced to ask about Liu Yong, but she has never found a chance to retaliate.
Chen Ji on the side didn't want to let go of such an opportunity, his eyes rolled, and he laughed a few times and said, "Since Empress Zhang knew His Majesty's true identity, she has been entangled with Your Majesty, and for this reason, even the girl around her was given to Sima Banru's house, thinking about Empress Zhang's charming bones, how could Your Majesty not be moved, Xu is body was hollowed out on the road." ”
In this way, it is nothing to say between Empress Dowager Wu and Chen Ji, even Ling'er feels that it is very usual, but for the little palace maid who is still kneeling there, it is a big surprise.
Empress Dowager Wu was also surprised.
"You minion, don't step down quickly." Ling'er realized that something was wrong and loudly reprimanded the palace maid.
The palace maid hurriedly got up and ran out.
Empress Dowager Wu glared at Chen Ji.
"You guy, if my emperor knows that you are still by the side of the mourning family, wouldn't you hate the mourning family to death?"
"Lord Chen, let's go back to my room and have a good rest." Ling'er was angry at Chen Ji.
Chen Ji snorted and turned to leave.
Empress Dowager Wu couldn't sit still.
"Ling'er, you go to investigate again, if the emperor is really seriously ill, come back immediately and report to me, and the mourning family will go to visit in person."
"The slave obeys." Ling'er agreed and walked out.
It didn't take long for Ling'er to run back in a panic and whisper something in the ear of Empress Dowager Wu.
Empress Dowager Wu's face changed.
"Quick, help the mourning family change their clothes, and the mourning family will go here, and the master must not be allowed to have the slightest difference."
At this time, in Yongtai Palace, the so-called master had been arrested by Qi Zhen and others, and was kneeling in front of Liu Yong. Behind him, there were several girls who had survived because they were afraid and did not resist, and they were also kneeling there and shivering.
Liu Yong's face was pale, and he held a long sword and approached the master.
