Liu Wu was still more polite: "Ma Su said that Mr. Yue has already led people to search, and he will never leave Mrs. Yue alone..." What he wanted to say was, if he is not anxious about his own wife, why should you be anxious, but this is just He dared to think about it but never dared to say it, but he comforted King Qin in a calm tone, "The fourth prince himself was seriously injured and was hiding in various places. Mrs. Yue must be fine..."
King Qin felt slightly happy and immediately said: "There was no puppet Qi army along the way, so they must have been defeated. Let's go back to Zhizhou and ask and we will find out."
Everyone hurried back to Zhizhou Mansion and saw that the soldiers on duty at the door were completely dressed in Song Dynasty clothes. But they were definitely not the usual Song soldiers who were old, weak, lethargic and dozing. They were in good spirits and very vigilant. When they saw him from afar, they shouted: "Who is coming?"
King Qin was overjoyed. He raised his sword and went up to ask, "Where is Yue Pengju?"
When the guard saw him calling the general by name, he said warily: "Who are you?"
"I have something important to do with him."
The defender immediately said: "Wait a moment and wait for me to report."
When the King of Qin heard that Yue Pengju was really inside, he immediately understood that since Yue Pengju was there, Hua Rong was probably fine. He waited for a moment, but saw a general coming out in a hurry, and it was Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian was not too surprised when he saw it was him, and immediately went to greet him: "King Qin..."
"Where's Hua Rong?"
"Mr. Yue is seriously injured, and my wife is taking care of him."
He didn't care whether Yue Peng was injured or not, and asked: "Is Hua Rong injured?"
"No. Madam is intact. Yue Xianggong chased out and intercepted the Fourth Prince's troops halfway, shot him with an arrow, and then saved Madam..." Zhang Xian briefly told the story.
King Qin just listened without saying a word. When he finished speaking, he stopped asking any questions and turned around to leave.
Zhang Xian was originally afraid that he would ask to see Mrs. Yue. He knew the complicated relationship between King Qin and the others, and was thinking about how to evade it, but when he saw that he turned around and left without making any request at all, he was stunned for a moment, and Liu Wu bowed to him with a smile. , he was already familiar with Liu Wu and Ma Su, and immediately said: "Wait a moment, I will send you some food..."
Liu Wu shook his head and thanked him for his kindness, then turned to chase King Qin.
Liu Wu was also very strange in his heart. King Qin had been looking for Hua Rong everywhere for fear that she would make a mistake. Now that she came back, he just left without seeing her. Although Liu Wu felt that King Qin had been acting weird recently, But he was also happy to see King Qin leave, so as not to be entangled with Hua Rong again, so he didn't ask any more questions.
King Qin had gone a long way, but Liu Wu couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, where are we going?"
The King of Qin thought for a while. In fact, he didn't know where he was going. He was originally going back to the sea, but was ordered by Yelu Dayong and encountered Hua Rong being kidnapped, so he stopped. At this time, he asked Yelu Dayong There is already a considerable degree of interest, because his Gu is really amazing. It is by using it that we can guess the whereabouts of Jin Wushu. However, we still failed to kill Jin Wushu. What is this? reason
The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. A small part of it was due to his unwillingness to be unable to kill Jin Wushu, and a large part of it was curiosity about the mysterious Yelu Dayong. Since he was so powerful, why could he only hide in the darkness like a mouse? corner of? Every time he appeared, it was either in the basement or in a dark room, as if he didn't dare to step out into the sunlight.
Could this person be a thousand-year-old demon
When he thought about it, he shuddered in his heart. For the first time in his life, he hesitated whether to leave or stay.
Zhang Xian only told Hua Rong the news of King Qin's visit the next day.
At that time, Hua Rong was feeding Yue Pengju breakfast. When he heard King Qin coming and leaving, he didn't know what it was like. He just said lightly: "I'm leaving now."
Seeing her like this, Zhang Xian couldn't say anything more, so he greeted Yue Pengju and left.
After everyone left, Yue Pengju looked at his wife and said softly: "Sister Seventeen, are you still angry with King Qin?"
Angry, actually, is out of the question. But King Qin is a super dangerous person. He is always uneasy when he is around. It is a good thing that he can leave on his own. Hua Rong is just a little strange. Why did he suddenly become so self-conscious
"Sister Seventeen, don't you think King Qin has changed a lot?"
She said calmly: "Is there any? Maybe."
At one time, she had forgotten about her infertility, because the family happiness brought by little Lu Wenlong was enough to downplay it all. Now, without this little man around her, Fang is increasingly aware of a serious problem. Will her husband and wife ever be together? , there will never be another day when Cheng Huan is at your knees
Yue Pengju saw her face getting darker and darker, and suddenly realized that she remembered this annoying thing again. Thinking of the slap, he sighed inwardly and immediately changed the topic, fearing to touch her sadness again.
After half a month, during this period of recuperation, Yue Pengju was ordered by his wife not to move for the whole day. He was already bored and panicked. After all, he was a warrior. When he saw his wife going out that day, he quickly took the spear and went out. Before he could wave it, he heard a loud shout behind him. :"What do you want to do… "
He took the spear and said with a smile, "Sister Seventeen, I'm so bored."
Her big eyes blinked, and suddenly she showed a sad expression: "You actually said that being with me is boring?"
Yue Pengju was startled. He obviously didn't mean it this way. But he didn't know how to express it. It was the first time he saw his wife look like this. He was uneasy and was about to say something, but he saw her burst into laughter, stood on tiptoes slightly, and said softly. He tapped his forehead lightly and said angrily: "Fool, I'll walk with you..."
Yue Pengju was overjoyed. Finally, she was willing to open her mouth and let herself move around.
However, Hua Rong still followed the doctor's instructions and did not want him to exert too much force. He only walked with him nearby. She had already found out that there was a famous temple in front of her called Donglin Temple. It used to be very popular, but since the war, the monks have also left. There were about seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and there was no one at all.
She thought she had nowhere else to go, so she took Pengju with her to visit the temple.
The wild grass along the way makes it look like "the stone path is sloping up the cold mountain in the distance". From a distance, it looks like an ordinary temple, with flying eaves and walls, red bricks and blue tiles, but the golden body is peeling off and there are no traces of people. Up close, there are three or five ancient pines, The huts with green bamboos and bamboo fences in Qiba have a quiet and indifferent atmosphere.
The two of them looked around as they walked. The Lantern Festival had just passed. Although it was the New Year, they saw that there were no pilgrims along the way and the temple doors were tightly closed.
Hua Rong pulled the door, and the thick copper lock made a heavy "dang" sound. Only a few winter birds were frightened and flew up.
Yue Pengju sighed: "Nowadays, the world is in a recession, even the temples are empty."
As long as there is war, temples cannot be preserved, and no place is a pure land. Since the Jin soldiers invaded the south, temples and Taoist temples have often been seized and used as prisoner prisoners and temporary military camps, and monks and Taoist disciples were used to make fires, cook, and carry them. Heavy objects, building some military defense projects... They were treated completely like slaves, no different from ordinary people. Many people could not bear the torture and fled in large numbers.
Hua Rong was about to say something when she heard a sound from the door. Someone opened the door from the inside, and then a loud voice came out: "What the hell, are you making so much noise that your house is not clean?"
The two of them turned around together, but the man they saw was tall and tall, wearing a black soap robe and holding a Zen staff as thick as the mouth of a bowl. He turned out to be Rutisha Ruda.
Lu Tiha was overjoyed: "Amei, Pengju, why are you here?"
"Brother Lu, why are you here?"
The three of them spoke almost at the same time. Hua Rong's eyes curled up and he started laughing.
Ruda quickly opened the door: "The Sa family is in a bad mood, it would be best if you come to visit us, come in quickly."
The two of them followed him in, only to find that a temple in Nuoda was empty, with only a few monks cleaning it. The Bodhisattvas and Vajras inside had also been damaged to pieces and were in disgrace.
Lu Tiha personally went to get a pot of hot tea, poured it, and sat down with the two of them. It turned out that he had been hanging orders in major temples over the years, but many temples had been burned down. When he came to Donglin Temple, he met again Donglin Temple was robbed, but fortunately he was very skilled in martial arts and escaped the disaster. After the Jin army left, he came back. However, the fine ancient temple has long lost its former style, and its incense has gradually been cut off, and it is unsustainable. Nowadays, three or five minor monks are all He managed to survive by cultivating the vast wasteland behind him.
But Lu Tisha was used to the simple food here. Due to hunger, he drank and ate meat informally, and often hunted to make up for the lack of food. In this way, everyone barely survived.
Yue Pengju sighed: "Now that the puppet Qi army has retreated, some local officials should look at it and rebuild the style of Baocha."
Lu Tiha shook his head: "The Sa family is free and at ease like this."
The three of them had been separated for many years, so naturally they had a lot to talk about. They chatted all over the place. At night, when it was already late and they didn't go down the mountain, Hua Rong notified the two soldiers who followed him and planned to stay at the ancient temple.
That night, Lu Tisha got a wild dog from nowhere, trimmed it, and stewed it in an earthen pot. The smell of dog meat was delicious. The two of them knew that he had no taboos and always drank meat and wine. This left a mark in the heart of the Buddha. , naturally didn't take it seriously, finished eating and drinking with him, and then listened to him start talking about the scriptures.
The two listened with great interest. Yue Pengju suddenly glanced at his wife. They looked at each other and nodded. Then he turned to Lu Tiha and sighed: "I think there are few military generals in history who died well. We just need to expel the captives and regain the two rivers." , wouldn’t it be great to come to Donglin Temple to practice?”
Lu Tiha laughed loudly and glanced at Hua Rong: "Amei, are you willing?"
Hua Rong smiled sweetly: "I have the same view as Peng Ju. I just want to be in a hut outside the bamboo forest fence, with a few close friends, Tan Xuan said, and stay away from the dust. Isn't that good?"
"Okay, okay. You two know how to advance and retreat, and that's a worry for the Sa family. Peng Ju, in the past, the Sa family has always been worried that you are upright and don't know how to be tact. You must know that a bird can hide behind a bow, and a cunning rabbit can be killed by a running dog. Don't be greedy for fame and position. As soon as possible, To withdraw is the way to become a general..."
Yue Peng raised his hands and said solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Lu, for your teaching."
