Although His Majesty agreed to Wen Qiusheng to go to Wushan, but at the end of the day, there was a sudden change in the northern border.
Yan Jingyuan was ordered by His Majesty to hunt down Yao Gexu, which was a perfunctory act, but he didn't expect Yao Gexu to be more careful after taking refuge in his uncle, and took the opportunity to pull out several hidden stakes that Dayan had ambushed in Uighur.
After these people were exposed, the Uighurs argued endlessly, especially those clans who were already dissatisfied with Yao Geshi's power, and even took this opportunity to curse Yao Geshi for protecting power and humiliating for glory.A few days later, Uighur Khan's favorite eldest son was assassinated, and in grief he finally broke face with the major clans, and the scuffle began.
Dayan did not intend to participate in the civil war of the Uighurs, but it was a matter of border security, and no one knew which clan would finally secure the Khan position.Moreover, several clans have secretly sent news, hoping that the Great Yan Kingdom will help them, and they will bow their heads and proclaim their ministers after gaining power.
When the news reached the capital, it caused a great uproar. The courtiers discussed countermeasures overnight. Xue Yan was a tyrant, but not a fool.
But what he had promised had to be counted. Wen Qiusheng had been happy about it for a long time.Xue Yan thought hard and made a painful decision to let Guo Yushi accompany Wen Qiusheng to Wushan, and returned to Beijing a few days later.
As for why Guo Yushi was with him, Xue Yan still trusts the disciples brought out by Master Meng to obey the rules more than the little Hou Ye. Hou Mingzhi's unscrupulous and smooth-tongued kid, it's better to stay away.
So before the end of autumn, Wen Qiusheng's procession to Wushan set off.
The terrain of Wushan is rugged and the location is remote. Wen Qiusheng and his party walked to the foot of the mountain for several days, but they were at a loss for what to do next.Guo Ziye ordered people to go to the surrounding villages to ask if there are any familiar hunters who can help guide the way.
While waiting, Wen Qiusheng found a small stream nearby. The water was so clear that he could see the bottom. He knelt down and wanted to take a sip.
"Don't drink!" A pair of hands immediately overturned the water he was holding.
Wen Qiusheng was taken aback for a moment.
I saw a young boy with a bare head suddenly appearing from the bushes. Just as he interrupted Wen Qiusheng, he was caught by the guards, his arms were restrained, but his eyes were very agile, and his expression was not at all frightened.
"Why can't I drink it? Is there something wrong with this water?"
The young man rolled his eyes, unwilling to answer, "I just can't drink anyway."
"If you don't tell me, I'll let you drink." Wen Qiusheng said slowly.
"You!" The young man couldn't believe it, "I kindly remind you, if you don't believe it, forget it, and you will kill me!"
"Who knows if you are kind or intentional."
"I am a monk, and monks will not lie!"
"Really?"
"Of course! My master is famous, he is the chief abbot of Lingjing Temple, and the old emperor has to look at his face if he wants to burn incense!"
Wen Qiusheng's lazy expression suddenly stopped, and the young man thought he was afraid, so he was even more proud, "Do you know how powerful my master is? I am his only apprentice, and I will be the next abbot of Lingjing Temple in the future! How could I Lied to you?"
"Oh? Then why don't you even have ring scars on the top of your head?"
The young man rolled his eyes and said, "That's because I'm still young and my karma has not yet ended. The master accepted me as a disciple first when he saw that I was very enlightened. He will give me a formal ceremony after I sever the karmic relationship."
The lie was quite smooth, Wen Qiusheng laughed, he was in a good mood today, and just wanted the guards to let him go, but he heard the sound of weapons clashing not far away.
Look at that direction is next to the carriage they parked.
There are poor mountains and bad waters near Wushan, bandits and troublemakers appear frequently, could it be that they happened today?However, His Majesty sent many elite imperial guards to accompany them on the trip, and it was not a problem to deal with a group of bandits.
When Wen Qiusheng and the others arrived at the scene, the fighting had indeed ceased, but it seemed that the fallen bandits were not defeated, but fainted by themselves.
The guards were also a little baffled. They had just fought against this group of bandits for a while, and before they had finished the fight, the opponent fell limp and fell to the ground.
Wen Qiusheng glanced at the bandit lying dead on the ground, then thought of the stream, and turned to look at the little monk.
"You did it?"
The little monk snorted and said proudly, "Yes, if it weren't for me, would you have escaped safely? The Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I have saved a lot of lives today. I can record it in the merit book." It's been several pages!"
Without your involvement, they might not be able to escape.
But after all, the little monk was kind enough to help, and when he heard the other person's stomach growling, Wen Qiusheng ordered someone to fetch dry food and water, and gave them to the blushing little monk.
He went to discuss the future itinerary with Guo Yushi.
"I saw that this young monk is very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and his heart is not bad. Why don't you let him lead the way? When you find the place, give him some money as a reward."
The people who went to look for Orion hadn't come back yet, but it was getting late, so Wen Qiusheng planned to set off first.
Guo Ziye naturally had no objection to Wen Qiusheng's decision.It's just that when they went to look for the little monk again, they found that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
But after all, the time interval was short, and after a while, the guards caught the little monk who was about to sneak away and brought him to Wen Qiusheng.
Wen Qiusheng took out a round money bag from the sleeve of the little monk.
He raised his eyebrows, "Is this what your master taught you? Stealing things?"
The little monk laughed bitterly, "No, no, the poor monk just wants to show respect to the Buddha. Now that the incense burns out, the life of the Buddha is not easy."
Wen Qiusheng sneered, "Don't pretend to be a monk, I'm just a money thief, drag it down and chop it up!"
Seeing the guard's long knife getting closer, the little monk suddenly sweated profusely.
"Don't, don't! I didn't lie to you, I'm really a monk! That ruined temple on Mount Wu is my home!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Qiusheng waved his hand to stop the guards, squinted his eyes and looked at the young monk, "Are you a monk from Wuyun Temple?"
Wuyun Temple in Wushan is the place where the evil monks in Wushan made their fortunes.
The little monk nodded quickly, "Yes, yes! It's the ruined temple in Wushan. I stayed there for several years. It’s not too much to kill you.”
Wen Qiusheng didn't say a word, and asked the guards to escort the little monk to lead the way.
In order to save his life, the little monk was naturally very dedicated. He was really familiar with the terrain of Wushan Mountain, so he led Wen Qiusheng and his party up the mountain along a small path, and they arrived in front of a temple not long after.
It is indeed a dilapidated temple, even the gate is missing a big mouth, and the plaque on the top of the temple is also tattered, and it is impossible to read what is written on it.
"What about the word Wuyun Temple?"
"Wuyun Temple? Was this temple originally called Wuyun Temple?" The little monk looked surprised, and when he saw that Qiu Sheng's eyes began to look dangerous, he was shocked, "Maybe I came too late, the plaque on it is rotten , but there is only this one temple on Wushan Mountain, since the adults said it was Wuyun Temple, it must be!"
Although the temple is dilapidated, there are many wing rooms, which can still accommodate people after tidying up.Wen Qiusheng decided to spend the night here, Guo Ziye asked him to rest in the temple first, and he led a group of people down the mountain.Because the previous plan was to spend the night at the post station at the foot of the mountain, the accompanying goods had not yet been delivered, and the small officials next to Wushan also rushed over when they heard about it.
Wen Qiusheng didn't want to deal with such matters as officials, and threw them all on Guo Ziye's head.When the goods were not delivered, he wandered alone in the temple, thinking to himself: Is this where the evil monk in Wushan lived?The environment doesn't look good.
Besides, there was no one else in the temple except the little monk. Could it be that the evil monk hadn't entered the temple at this time?
After the sky darkened, the wing room was packed and the goods were sent up the mountain, but Guo Ziye hadn't come back yet.Wen Qiusheng went to bed first after dinner. He had to travel hard during the day, and he soon fell asleep.
Suddenly, a "boom" woke him up.
Wen Qiusheng got up together, only to see a dart nailed to the beam at the head of the bed, with a note wrapped around the dart.
He went to the window first, and saw a faint figure flying over the wall of the temple courtyard, who seemed to have left after delivering the note.
Wen Qiusheng opened the note, his eyes flickered slightly.
"Helping the crown prince ascend the throne will bring peace to the Wen family."
He burned the note, lay back on the bed as if nothing had happened, and his breathing calmed down again after a while.The candles burned out slowly, and the room fell into darkness. In the quiet night, there was no movement except for the bed curtain fluttering in the wind.
After a long time, an arm quietly lifted the curtain of the bed, and was suddenly grabbed!
"You didn't sleep?!"
Taking advantage of the surprise of the other party, Wen Qiusheng kicked him between the legs. The visitor hurriedly avoided, but the mask was ripped off when he didn't notice.
"It really is you, Third Prince."
The dagger in Wen Qiusheng's hand was pointed at the third prince, and the cold light shone on the other's face, reflecting his astonishment at a glance.
Wen Qiusheng told the third prince before he left Beijing that since the person who secretly sent the portrait knew that he was imprisoned and did not want him to investigate further, they would probably show up to deal with him. This trip to Wushan is their appearance good time.
When he saw the note, Wen Qiusheng guessed that it must be the third prince who wanted to frame the prince. He was just trying to test whether the other party would hide in his room secretly, but he did not expect to try it.
The third prince saw that he hadn't hidden it, so he didn't hide it at all, and looked at Wen Qiusheng's beautiful face and hazy figure under the night with wanton eyes.Usually, she is a peerless beauty, but she never thought that the body under the coat is even more graceful. If the slender waist is played with in her hands...
"If you look any further, the third prince's eyes won't be needed anymore." Wen Qiusheng was full of smiles, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
The third prince withdrew his gaze, with playful eyes, "Queen, don't be angry, I just feel that it's a pity. A beauty like the queen should be sought after and loved by the world. It's too violent to be trapped in the deep palace alone with the emperor." .”
"You will think about me," Wen Qiusheng laughed.
The third prince's smile hadn't yet shown his face, and the next second he heard Qiu Sheng say, "Sure enough, after being a son for a few months, it's different. I know how to be filial to my father."
The third prince suddenly changed his face, tearing the curtain of the bed with a sharp look, but before he could bully Wen Qiusheng, he heard a strange crackling sound outside.
Soon someone knocked on the door, "Queen, there are bandits setting fire outside the temple! Wushan has been engulfed in flames, the queen should get up and leave quickly with her subordinates!"
It's on fire? !
A fire on the mountain is no small matter, the two stopped arguing and quickly opened the door to leave.As soon as he opened the door, Wen Qiusheng saw the eerie sky outside the temple, the raging black smoke and burning fire were entangled endlessly, reflecting most of the sky into red and black.
The bandits not only set fire to the temple, but also took care of the way down the mountain. They made it clear that they wanted to burn everyone to death on the mountain.
Guo Ziye didn't go back to the temple that night, the guards focused on Wen Qiusheng, trying their best to lead him out of the flames, and they didn't have time to care about the unknown man in black beside him.
Tongues of flames engulfed the corners of his clothes. It was too difficult to escape from this environment unscathed. Along the way, the guards protecting Wen Qiusheng were trapped by the sea of flames, and there were fewer and fewer guards until finally only the guards who ran for their lives with him on their backs remained.
Fortunately, the front was about to go out, and the three of them quickened their pace, feeling that hope was right in front of them, when they suddenly heard a dull roar behind them.
Wen Qiusheng looked back and saw a ferocious black bear running towards them.
Before he could react, he was pushed into the black bear's mouth by a thrust.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could only see the cold eyes of the third prince. In order to escape for his life, he actually asked Wen Qiusheng to make bait for the black bear!
Yan Jingyuan was ordered by His Majesty to hunt down Yao Gexu, which was a perfunctory act, but he didn't expect Yao Gexu to be more careful after taking refuge in his uncle, and took the opportunity to pull out several hidden stakes that Dayan had ambushed in Uighur.
