[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 24 Queen 10

Li Hong's strange behavior immediately caught the attention of Xiao Sanniang.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

The young man seemed to have not heard the girl's question at all, and he was still in a daze, as if he had lost his mind.

Little Sanniang couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and called out in a low voice: "Brother!"

Only then did Li Hong come back to his senses and respond to Xiao Sanniang, but his face was still very ugly.

"Brother, is there something wrong with the stone tortoise they mentioned?!" Xiao Sanniang said this a little loudly, and immediately attracted the attention of the people kneeling around them.

One of the old men saw that Li Hong and Xiao Sanniang were similar in appearance, and some of them were dressed like children from rich families. He wondered which family's Xiao Langjun came out to pay homage to the saint in private, so he asked them in a low voice.

"The stone tortoise that the two young gentlemen are talking about is the tortoise that Jia Langjun salvaged in Luoshui yesterday?"

When Xiao Sanniang heard the words, she rolled her eyes and immediately replied: "I also overheard the villagers mentioning this, and I don't know if it's true or not..."

"How could there be such a big stone turtle in Luoshui?"

Hearing the words, the old man showed a look of awe on his face, and said: "Young Lord, be careful with your words!"

"That's not an ordinary stone tortoise, it's a god tortoise!"

Hearing this, Li Hong couldn't hold back any longer, and interjected, "Why did Ah Weng say that?"

"Xiao Lang-jun doesn't know something..." The old man looked around, approached Li Hong, and said softly: "When Jia Lang-jun salvaged the tortoise, the old man was lucky to be there and watched the tortoise from afar. There are golden writing and patterns on the back..."

When Li Hong heard this, his face became even more ugly.

Letters and patterns?

Could it be the Luoshu River Map?

The little Sanniang was very interested in listening, and kept asking the old man about the details of the stone turtle.

The old man didn't hide his secrets, he just told the third lady everything he knew, and the people around him who had seen the stone turtle came over one after another, adding in a low voice the details of the day's salvage of the stone turtle Come.

"It's so big?!" Xiao Sanniang couldn't help exclaiming when she heard the villagers say that the stone tortoise was as big as a cow.

"If Mr. Xiaolang doesn't believe it, just go to Longma Temple to watch it..." One of the men who participated in the salvage of stone turtles laughed.

"Longma Temple?" Little Sanniang looked at her brother blankly upon hearing this.

When Li Hong heard this, he was stunned as if struck by lightning.

The Longma Temple on the bank of Luoshui is not an ordinary temple. Its full name is Longma Negative Figure Temple. It is the first place of worship built on the old road of Hetu.

Jia Langjun put the stone turtle in Longma Temple. What does it mean?

Could it be that the stone tortoise is really the legendary tortoise that offered 'Luo Shu' to Dayu?

It is said that as soon as the Luoshu River Map is released, saints will appear in the world...

For the common people, it is certainly a good thing that there is a saint or something, but for the rulers of the empire, it is not a good thing for the country to have another saint whose status is close to that of the 'second saint'!

Mr. Jia Lang has been an official for many years, so he should understand this truth, but he still put the tortoise in Longma Temple, and has not prohibited the people from privately discussing the salvage of the tortoise in Luoshui...

This matter is quite strange!

Li Hong was originally worried about what would happen to his father's parade this time, but he heard such "good news" when he just arrived at the edge of Luoshui. The conspiracy of father, mother and second brother.

"Sanniang, let's go, let's go to Longma Temple." As long as Li Hong thought of someone playing tricks behind his back, he couldn't stay where he was.

Little Sanniang was originally very interested in the matter of the stone turtle, but now that her brother said that she was going to Longma Temple, she was very happy.

"Okay brother, let's go quickly~~~~"

The two brothers and sisters quietly withdrew from the crowd while the emperor was letting everyone die.

The dark guards who had long been protecting the siblings followed quietly.

On the other side, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu had already learned of Jia Dunshi's whereabouts from General Su's faltering narration, and couldn't help laughing angrily.

"You don't recognize Jia Erlang?"

The Jia brothers are well-known figures in Luozhou, not only because they are known as honest officials, but also because they are known as officials who like to mingle with the people.Every time a water conservancy project was built in Luozhou, the Jia brothers would go to the front line in person to eat and live with the laborers.

It can be said that there are almost no people in Luozhou who do not know the Jia brothers.

General Su was a frequent visitor to Luoyang, but he didn't recognize Jia Erlang who was dressed in civilian clothes, and even arrested him as a cult member with evil intentions!

"You..." Li Zhi really didn't know what to say about Su Dingfang.

"Holy, holy man... I, I know I was wrong... How about I go and apologize to Mr. Jia Lang..." General Su was crying, and when he was anxious, he even popped out his hometown dialect.

If it wasn't for the bad atmosphere, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu and the people who were waiting in front of her would almost burst out laughing, their faces contorted from holding back.

Mr. Li would not save face for someone, so he immediately sneered and said, "Fortunately, you still remember Tianhou's words..."

Hearing this, General Su who just got up almost knelt down again.

Before this old Su came to Luoyang, the Empress Dowager gave him a face-to-face order not to allow him to bring his military habits to the capital, let alone arrest anyone casually for 'military punishment'.

Therefore, this time, General Su found someone salvaging suspiciously by the banks of Luoshui, but he was arrested first, but he didn't deal with it immediately.

Speaking of which, Luozhou is the head of the four capitals, and the person who can be the top leader in Luozhou must be Ersheng's confidant.

This time Jia Langjun's abnormal behavior in Luoshui is probably ordered by His Majesty the Emperor...

As soon as Li Sanlang thought of this, he roughly guessed what His Majesty the Emperor was planning for today's trip to Luoshui.

If this Mr. Jia Lang has something good or bad, maybe His Majesty's plan will come to naught, right?

However, it's rare that the big old man in front of him was so quick-witted that he actually put Jia Langjun under house arrest in the Longma Temple near Luoshui.

Li Sanlang glanced at His Majesty the Emperor, whose face was as heavy as water, and decided to save the scene once he showed his kindness.

"The emperor is here, and the people of Luozhou are all happy. Jia Shishi has always been diligent. He was afraid that he was too busy making arrangements for the emperor's pleasure, so he didn't arrive in time..."

As soon as this remark came out, General Su suddenly showed a look of gratitude.

A big boss showed a rough expression of a rabbit...

It's just horrible...

Mr. Li turned his head, and continued to say to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu with a blank face: "My minister invites the emperor to drive, but the subjects outside are still waiting."

Hearing this, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's expression finally calmed down a little, and someone sent a message to the officials waiting for the driver, and then he got up and walked out from the large tent where the holy driver could rest and change clothes.

The officials waiting outside couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that His Majesty the Emperor had come out. Some of the articulate people came forward to respectfully invite His Majesty the Emperor and his party to board the boat.

Li Sanlang intentionally took a step behind, and said to General Su who followed him anxiously: "Hurry up and invite Jia Langjun to Longma Temple!"

"But Xianggong, the Emperor is here..." Su Dingfang still remembered that his main task was to protect the personal safety of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, so how dare he leave Shengjia's side casually?

Seeing General Su's stupid look, Li Sanlang couldn't help snorting coldly: "Don't you have anyone available under the General?!" After that, he ignored him and followed Sheng Jia and his party to the direction of Huafang.

Resisting the urge to scratch his head, General Su hurriedly recruited his confidants and guards, ordered him to go to Longma Temple immediately to release Jia and others, and then hurriedly followed His Majesty's team.

On the other side, Li Hong's brother and sister had quietly arrived outside the Longma Temple.

What they didn't expect was that there was a team of heavily armed guards hidden around this seemingly inaccessible temple.

The young general Li Hong who led the team actually recognized him.

"Master Dalang, your master, why are you here?" The young general was originally a guard of Hebi Palace, surnamed Xiao Xingqi. The number of young generals who can be counted naturally recognize Li Hong brothers and sisters.

Seeing Xiao Qi's nervous look, Li Hong couldn't help feeling tense, but smiled on his face: "Sanniang and I have heard about the beautiful scenery of Longma Temple for a long time, and we are about to go up to pay our respects...Why is Qilang here?"

Habayashi Zuowei was responsible for protecting the holy priest, so there was no reason for him to appear outside Ryoma Temple, which was dozens of miles away from His Majesty the Emperor.

Seeing the question, Xiao Qilang hesitated for a while, but still honestly told Li Hong the truth: "The last general is here under the order of General Su..."

It turned out that Jia Langjun heard the villagers report that there was a foreign object in Luoshui, so he immediately took people to the bank of Luoshui to salvage the foreign object.As a result, a group of peasants and laborers picked up a huge stone turtle...

Jia Dunshi is very knowledgeable. When he first saw the stone tortoise, he immediately thought of the legendary tortoise in Luoshuhetu. When he saw the pictures on the back of the stone tortoise, his expression changed immediately. The common people watched, and some people in the crowd shouted the words of "God Turtle" and "Auspicious", and many ignorant people knelt down to worship the stone turtle...

And it was such a coincidence that General Su happened to come to the bank of Luoshui that day in order to check His Majesty's tour route and investigate potential safety hazards...

Seeing a group of unidentified people knelt down around a big rock, still chanting words, General Su immediately became alert—before he came to Luoyang, his military adviser Liu Lang told him many life-saving secrets Among them, the matter about ghosts, gods, witches and Gu is the key popular science content.

In the eyes of General Su, the scene in front of him looked like what his family Liulang said about gathering people to perform cult rituals.

As a result, the unlucky Jia Langjun was gagged and tied up before he could explain his identity to General Su.

Moreover, in order not to startle the snakes and let other "evil ￥ cult members" flee after hearing the news, General Su deliberately let out the rumor that the people who salvaged the stone turtles were all in Longma Temple...

Unexpectedly, the cultists didn't come to the door, but they attracted Li Hong brothers and sisters...

Xiao Qilang had a look of helplessness on his face.
