Zhaofu Temple is really full of incense, far away from the temple gate to see white smoke. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info bustling with good men and women, although it is usually a temple fair.

It should be said that the nature is quiet, and the scalp is a little numb when I see many people. Meng Xue walked beside him but was very excited. Usually, Meng Xue rarely goes out, occasionally going to the street market to buy some flower seeds, and in addition, she just concentrates on playing with flowers and plants at home.

Today is probably because of Ying Shaoyan's company, Meng Xue is always very excited. But Meng Xue is usually not a flamboyant child, but with a shallow smile on her face, her face is a little red with excitement.

Ying Shaoyan was afraid that she would lose it, so she asked her to follow her, and at this time, a monk next to her had already seen that they were dressed well, and came up to salute with his palms and said: "Donor take a lot, the fortune-telling of the monks of this temple is also very effective." ”

Ying Shaoyan glanced at Meng Xue with a smile, with encouragement in his eyes. Meng Xue took a stick from the stick, and the stick said Shangzhong, and four lines of poetry were written in italics: the blue water is beautiful and the lotus is planted around the pond, and the path is dark without fragrance. On the other side, I always heard the yellow warbler, and the beautiful woman leaned on the curtain half-open.

The monk said, "Please come to the meditation room in the West Wing." ”

Ke'er helped Meng Xue to walk in front, Ying Shaoyan followed behind, and walked towards the west chamber under the guidance of the monk.

At this time, the sun is getting higher, and the monastery is full of people, and it is very lively, which is not like a quiet place for monks.

Most of the people who walked left and right were wearing national costumes, and occasionally there were Beiyan accents. In fact, Beiyan has been learning culture from the Central Plains for a long time, clothing, ornaments, and even architectural styles, home furnishings, poetry and literature, all of which are close to the Central Plains. If it were not for the war and disaster on both sides, this kind of cultural harmony between the two countries would be quite an artistic conception.

However, after all, the northern ethnic groups were fierce, and they kept going south to invade the country for more than a hundred years, which also brought a lot of suffering to the people of the country.

At this time, Ying Shaoyan followed Meng Xue and the monk, thinking that it was nonsense for the monk to unsign. Looking at the sign, it is somewhat similar to Meng Xue's current state of mind. In short, it means that people are in the scene, and there is nowhere to rely on love.

He was thinking so casually, when suddenly the conversation between the two people next to him caught his attention.

Ying Shaoyan has been practicing since he was a child, and his father's confidant general Guan Zhengfeng disciplined him very strictly, and he devoted himself to him. Needless to say, the swordsmanship and internal skills that lay the foundation have been taught by famous masters who are not in the world, so it should be said that the ear is excellent.

Rao is like this, he only vaguely hears "Haixi" and "Eagle Eagle Peak...... A few intermittent words, he hurriedly looked for prestige, only to see the corner of the apricot yellow shirt, flashed in the crowd, and then disappeared.

He hurriedly took out a piece of silver and handed it to the monk: "Please sign a senior monk in a moment." ”

Then he said to Kerr: "Take care of Miss, I'll come when I go." ”

Then he pulled his body and walked left and right through the crowd, looking for the person who had just spoken.

The man obviously deliberately suppressed his voice with internal breath, otherwise it would be impossible for Ying Shaoyan to hear it clearly, even in the bustling crowd. As for people with ordinary ears, they can't hear it at all.

However, the man was like a desert, and he no longer made any sound, and he didn't find anyone in the apricot yellow shirt.

In the blink of an eye, he had passed through the main hall and the scripture hall in the backyard, and beyond that, there were only red walls.

He did not hesitate, flew up, landed flat outside the monastery, and ran with his feet.

Suddenly, there was a sound in his right ear, and a throwing knife burst through the air. Ying Shaoyan flashed in a hurry, and his right hand had already drawn his sword!*

The knife that flashed did not land, but broke through the air again and flew back. At the same time, a thin figure flipped into the air and landed.

Ying Shaoyan looked at it intently, and saw that the man was dressed in a strong suit, thin and dry, with no more than three taels of flesh scraped on his bones, and his face was high and cheekbones, and the original flashing apricot yellow was actually an apricot yellow silk scarf on the handle of the knife. And there is another handle at the end of a string of gold rings on the handle, and when the person flies the knife, it is obvious that the chain is still in his hand, so the knife can be retracted freely.

At this time, there was a treacherous smile on the man's face: "Ying Gongzi is among the people in a temple, and he takes a fancy to him, which is really rare." ”

Ying Shaoyan said coldly: "Where are you from and what do you want to do?"

Seeing the knife and knowing the person, this person is the Hou Lingshan who showed his face when he knew the knife in the capital.

Hou Lingshan was still smiling: "Ying Gongzi asked if he was a little nosy." You don't even ask how your cousin is now. ”

Ying Shaoyan was surprised: "What do you want." ”

Hou Lingshan said: "I didn't want to recruit you. But today I have the misfortune to meet you. Ying Gongzi doesn't understand, the more secrets he knows, the faster he will die? Since Gongzi refuses to let me go, then I will see you in Xiyuzhou in the morning in three days. If you don't pick up your cousin at this moment, you can't guarantee her safety!"

With that, Hou Lingshan arched his hand and flew away.

Ying Shaoyan didn't dare to chase after him, so he hurriedly ran to the temple. He flew over the back wall of the monastery and hurried towards the meditation room, hurriedly pushing the door open. One of the women inside screamed in fright.

The monk inside was unsigning with the woman, and when he saw Ying Shaoyan rushing in, he was a little dissatisfied: "Why is this benefactor so rude, I don't know if this is a quiet place for Buddhism?"

Ying Shaoyan didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked, "Where did the woman in red who came to unsign just now, with a maid ring, go?"

Only then did the monk understand that he was probably lost, so he said, "The girl is very happy to untie the sign, and then she goes to the main hall." ”

Ying Shaoyan hurriedly ran to the main hall again, looking left and right among the many pilgrims and believers, I don't know how many white eyes he recruited, but he still couldn't find it. was rushing out of the main hall to look for it again, when he suddenly heard a delicate and beautiful voice: "Cousin, where did you go just now?"

Ying Shaoyan looked at it fixedly, Meng Xue was standing under the Bodhi tree in the courtyard, looking at him with a smile.

Ying Shaoyan hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Meng Xue's arm: "You're okay." I went to the meditation room to find you, but it scared me to death!"

Meng Xue looked at Ying Shaoyan, who was sweating profusely, and was a little distressed, so she smiled and said, "Cousin, it's in the temple, what can you do, look at your sweat." ”

After that, she took out a light cyan silk handkerchief embroidered with pink and white lotus flowers from her sleeve and handed it to Ying Shaoyan.

Ying Shaoyan's heart finally let go, and only then did he realize that he was already sweating.

On the way back, there were still birds singing and flowers fragrant, and Meng Xue was holding the sign in the carriage and looking at it again and again.

Even Ke'er laughed at her: "Miss, those twenty-eight words, have you seen them for a long time?"

Meng Xue slapped her: "You talk a lot." ”

Ying Shaoyan was still riding quietly on the horse, but his mind kept spinning.

Ying Shaoyan has been in Xiyuzhou since he was born. Because of his status as the son of a criminal minister, he will never be able to take a step out of Xiyuzhou. But he is a very hard-working and motivated young man, in addition to martial arts, art of war, poetry and writing, he also knows a lot about Beiyan and its small northwestern foreign races, and also understands the language of Beiyan.

The man just said that Haixi was definitely not casually speaking. Ying Shaoyan knows that Haixi is a small country, in the west of the Northern Yan Kingdom, and there is a carved osprey peak between it and the Northern Yan.

The Eagle Eagle Peak is so steep that there is almost no way to climb it.

Therefore, although Haixi is small, there is only a small northern tribe named Xi and some outsiders who have migrated from the northern countries, including the national dynasty, but they have always been able to live in peace. Because the Northern Yan could not attack from the side of the Eagle Eagle. If the people of Haixi want to come out, they must first go through the mountains from the northwest and then take the Gobi detour road to reach the territory of the country. Therefore, only a few people who do business take this long road of thousands of miles to do some trade. In addition, Haixi and some countries in the north have trade exchanges, so although it is a country of its own, it is not very closed, but it is not as rich and economically and culturally developed as the national dynasty.

Recently, however, some forces have been trying to get their hands on the Hercynian Kingdom. The reason is that the wealthy and comfortable life of the Central Plains was planned by the ruler of Haixi, and he intended to give up Haixi, only a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. It is said that there are already two or three forces in contention.

But this news is extremely secret, and it is only Meng Dingguo who has privately told Ying Shaoyan.

And there are also secret lines to report, the loss of the defense plan this time, it may also be that some of these forces want to use the defense map to exchange for gold, silver and jewelry, and then plot Haixi. Meng Dingguo told Ying Shaoyan that after Meng Yu's investigation in the capital was over, he would soon return to Xiyuzhou, and it was possible to go deeper into Beiyan, and he hoped that Ying Shaoyan could help Meng Yu a little.

At this time, the carriage had already walked a long way on the way back, and Ying Shaoyan also cleared his thoughts and had time to enjoy the surrounding scenery. I saw a large river not far away flowing slowly into the distance like a wide and white belt in the sun, and the reeds were growing by the river. And the roadside to the river is overgrown with all kinds of flowers.

It should be said that the scenery here is silent and beautiful, and the sky is high and far away, and the mood can't help but open up a lot.
