Overwhelming mountains and rivers

Lushan Temple?

Chu Xuanzhao remembered that his good emperor brother often recruited several monks in the mansion in the name of worshiping Buddha recently, and monks often came in or out...

Could it be that Hou Zhizhou belongs to King Teng?If so, what are they planning?

Thinking of King Teng's strong opposition when he raised the Southern Tour, Chu Xuanzhao had a vague premonition.

Before he could come up with a result, a knock on the door interrupted his train of thought.

"My lord, I don't intend to disturb my lord. I just think that my lord should be hungry. I have already ordered a good food and drink at the restaurant. How can I ask my lord to give me a favor?"

"No need. You already invited me yesterday, this king can't let others think that this king is using his power to bully you!" Xin Wang said and opened the door.

"What the lord said, being able to get the lord's face, is a blessing cultivated in the next life. If there is something to say, it must be jealous to see the lord's face."

"You have this heart, and this king knows it well. But, after all, this king is here to tour the south, so it's not easy for people to take advantage of it and make others think that this king is here to visit the mountains and rivers for the sake of public benefit. Sigh~, This king also has a last resort."

King Xin sighed heavily, as if he was quite helpless about this.

Seeing this, Hou Qing persuaded: "Even on the southern tour, there is no reason not to skip meals. I also asked the prince to move to the restaurant. After eating this meal, the prince has something to do, so I will not bother you."

King Xin seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally said: "Okay. Since you are so kind to invite me, this king will not be respectful. For other things, having a meal is not a hindrance."

Hou Qing was overjoyed, "My lord please."

"What does it say above?"

"It's been passed down from above that no matter whether Chu Xuanzhao is acting or not, and whether he will find out about our plan, he cannot be allowed to return to the capital alive!" The person who spoke was a monk, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and his face was full of embarrassment. He looked merciful, but his words were full of cruelty.

"What?! That's the prince! A decent prince and grandson!" Hou Zhizhou couldn't believe it.

If any rumors are leaked, or if there is any mistake, then my life...

"I've sent my son to contact Chu Xuanzhao, why don't we wait—"

"This is an order from above! Could it be that Hou Zhizhou wants to violate the order from above? Don't forget that your future, and even your life and death, depend on whom!" Before Hou Zhizhou could finish speaking, the monk interrupted took his word.

Hou Zhizhou shuddered suddenly, "No, no, how dare this subordinate. The life of the subordinate is the life of the master. The subordinate is just worried that if King Xin survives, he will be aware of our plan."

The monk listened, and his expression softened, "You don't need to worry about it. As for killing Chu Xuanzhao, the superiors have their own choice. Even if Chu Xuanzhao has three heads and six arms, it is safe to let him have no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the earth! You just Just wait for the result. When he dies, you can publicize the news of his death in the name of the government, and push his death to the bandits in Mushan. Are you looking at the group of self-proclaimed righteous bandits? Haven't you been pleasing to the eye for a long time?"

"Yes yes yes. It's finally time to deal with those gangsters. You can not only kill Chu Xuanzhao, but also fall to those gangsters. This is really killing two birds with one stone." Hou Zhizhou thought that he could get rid of those gangsters and fight against him. The righteous bandits were a little happy, and they couldn't help showing some excitement on their faces.

When the monk saw his appearance, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart, hum, what an idiot, no wonder the master said he would push this matter to you.King Xin's assassination is not something that group of ignorant bandits who don't even know how many princes there are in Dayuan can stand up to it.

Heh~, being able to die for the Lord is considered your good fortune.

"Hou Qing, you will please me."

King Xin looked at a fried crispy fish with bean in front of him and smiled happily.

It turns out that Xin Wang loves fried crispy fish very much. Yesterday he saw a fried crispy fish with bean on the table, so he couldn't help using more.Unexpectedly, this was actually observed by Hou Qing, and he ordered today's fried crispy fish with beans to be placed in the nearest place.

Originally, he was just a dandy who was good at flattering, but he didn't expect this person to be so careful. If he can be used in the place where he should be used, he can be regarded as a capable person.

"It's just a pity." I don't know if King Xin is lamenting that this person is a pity, or if it's just for the next words, "It's just a pity, I don't know if you please me so much because of your heart? Killed your father?"

"Of course, I really want to do my best for the prince! Besides, my father ordered me to entertain the prince. I think my father is willing to serve the prince." Hou Qing heard the king's words, and hurriedly wanted to show his loyalty, and he didn't forget to bring it Look at your father.

"I'm just asking casually, so I naturally believe in your sincerity. I heard that your father believed in Buddhism, and this king once received a pair of consecrated prayer beads. Both your father and son are very satisfactory to this king. Why don't these prayer beads be given to you?" Will you hand it over to your father?"

"My lord thought I heard it wrong. My father doesn't believe in Buddhism. But since the lord rewarded me, I made a decision to pass it on to my father and tell my father that it was the merciful kindness of my lord. My father would be happy to hear it."

"Ah, that's the case. I think this king has misled people. Even if you don't believe in Buddhism, then my king's prayer beads are not easy to give away. In fact, the master once said that this prayer beads are only given to people who are destined. If you sincerely worship the Buddha , get this prayer bead, you can keep good fortune and longevity. That's why this king was aroused when he heard that your father loves Buddha. But since this king has opened his mouth, he can't just go back on his word. You don't have an official position yet. When this king returns to Beijing, you will report it. Royal father, I will definitely reward you with an official position, which is considered to be a kindness to your father and son."

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!" Hou Qing was overjoyed when he heard that, and bowed his head.

"Well, no. You deserve it for your hard work."

……

Hou Qing invited King Xin to settle down in the state capital, but King Xin declined, saying that his entourage had already found a place to live, but Hou Qing's persuasion failed, so he had to give up.

…………

When King Xin came to the Bodhisattva Temple, it was already dark.

When a group of people came to the Bodhisattva Temple, they saw that the temple seemed to be dilapidated not long ago. The house was still intact, but there were traces of fighting everywhere, and there were even remnants of clothes and broken buckets of wood by the well, which made people feel strange. .It seems that the people in the entire temple suddenly encountered something.

At that time, King Xin only thought it was strange, and saw that the house and many other things were in good condition, so he just stopped and didn't go to the inn.But now thinking of the monks in Prince Teng's mansion, Lushan Temple, the ruined temple... King Xin always feels that he seems to be involved in an unknown net.

Seeing him coming back, Mo Yi hastily greeted him, "Mo Yi has seen the prince."

Mo Yi is a trusted aide cultivated by King Xin, and this time King Xin took only [-] personal guards headed by Mo Yi on his southern tour.They have been trained by King Xin to become personal soldiers since they were teenagers, and their coping ability and loyalty are incomparable to others.Apart from Mo Yi and the others, there was another team headed by Feng Er. This time Feng Er and the others stayed at the palace and did not leave the capital.

Mo Yi hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth and said: "My lord went to see Hou Qing without taking anyone with him, just in case..."

King Xin felt a little helpless to Mo Yi who had been by his side since he was a child, "Hou Qing dare not do anything to me, I'm fine, after all, it's inconvenient to take you there. But this Hou Zhizhou..."

"Is there anything new about the things that the king ordered to send?" King Xin sat down cross-legged on the futon in the center of the temple. It was obviously a dilapidated temple, but it still couldn't hide the nobility and elegance of the crimson figure.

"My subordinates have read the information on Zhizhou Hou, and found nothing special. My subordinates have also sent a few people to watch Zhifu Hou and investigate Lushan Temple respectively." Mo Yi reported everything one by one.

"Well. What about what I told you earlier?"

"My subordinates have inquired, and no one in this area has heard of Mr. Mo Yuan."

Mo Yi remembered that when he entered the Jiangnan area, the prince ordered to pay attention to a scholar named "Mr. Mo Yuan", he guessed that the prince intended to recruit this person, so he tried his best to find out about him.

However, the group of people has been in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, but they have not even heard of Mr. Mo Yuan.

"What kind of person is this? He is obviously talented, but he is able to remain unknown. Even Qianjilou has no news about him. If it's not that his name is not worthy of his name and he has no talent, then he can only be unfathomable. He has a very high ability to hide himself." Xin Wang seemed to be talking to Mo Yi, but also seemed to be muttering to himself.

Thinking back to when I praised Li Shangnuo, the second place in the new division, for his extraordinary talent, Li Shangnuo said that he was just a scholar, so it was not appropriate to praise him.

At that time, I only thought he was modest, but unexpectedly Li Shangnuo said again, "Shang Nuo has a literary friend who is not only talented in literature, but also wise, and he is called 'Mr. Mo Yuan'. Shang Nuo also only knows Mr. Mo Yuan but does not know the truth First name and surname, Shang Nuo met Mr. Mo Yuan by chance in the south of the Yangtze River. He met him through literature and was impressed by his talent. It’s just that Mr. Mo Yuan has a cold syndrome, which recurs every once in a while, so he can’t rest all year round. Ruo Mo Yuan The young master is here, not to mention that Shang Nuo is the second in the list, even if he is the champion, it must be Mr. Mo Yuan."

King Xin thought that he had already made plans in private. If he could get the help of Mr. Mo Yuan, he would be able to sit on the throne more smoothly. After all, only by sitting in that position can he rectify the court that has frequent foreign wars and internal strife.

His long-cherished wish in life is to clean up the inside and outside, and reorganize Dayuan River and Mountain.

At that time, King Xin heard this and asked him how to find Mr. Mo Yuan. Li Shangnuo thought he was romantic and didn't think much about it, but said that he only knew that he had lived in the Jiangnan area for a long time. It is unknown.

After inquiring for so long, there was no news of Mr. Mo Yuan, and King Xin was a little discouraged. Sometimes, he would wonder whether Mr. Mo Yuan actually existed, and whether he was a fabricated character that Li Shangnuo casually mentioned.

King Xin took out a booklet from his pocket, but it was a secret book of martial arts.

The booklet is a bit worn out, and the outer cover is written with the words "Fire Dragon Jue" in handwriting. When the outer cover is opened, the title page has already turned yellow, but the handwriting can still be read clearly.This Fire Dragon Jue is the inner strength method of Zhiyang. It has nine levels from low to high. It can effectively restrain the recurrence of cold syndrome.

King Xin felt that if he wanted to ask Mr. Mo Yuan for help, he must first save Mr. Mo Yuan's life and his health.

This exercise was obtained after King Xin heard about Mr. Mo Yuan and gave orders to Qianjilou and his personal guards.

After getting the exercise, King Xin spends part of his time practicing this book of inner strength almost every day, because he already has the inner strength and skills of other martial arts, and he reached the third level of the Fire Dragon Jue in just four months, although it is not a A master has the ability to alleviate cold symptoms. Even if he can't find Mr. Mo Yuan, this method can also improve his internal strength and strengthen his tendons. After all, it will be beneficial and harmless to himself.

Chu Xuanzhao rubbed the booklet, his heart gradually settled down.Since we are in the south of the Yangtze River, we will meet each other if we are destined.Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain and even visited the thatched cottage three times. Could his patience be inferior to Liu Bei's?Regardless of whether or not Mr. Mo Yuan has the talent of Zhuge Liang, he should not be so restless.

"My lord, it's getting late, and my subordinates have packed up the vacant room in the temple. You can go back to your room to rest."

Mo Yi's voice came from behind, Chu Xuanzhao suddenly came back to his senses, looked outside, and saw that there were a few stars hanging on the sky, and a full moon had already floated in it.

"Alright."

Mo Yi helped King Xin to his feet, because he had already dispatched some of them, so there were no more than a dozen of the thirty personal guards left.Mo Yi assigned half of the people to guard, and then asked the other half to rest.
