After Su Rong and Ye Guixue finished their breakfast, they made an appointment to go see the sacred locust tree in the Great Buddha Temple together.
The sacred locust tree is as thick as a few people hugging each other. In early winter, sparse leaves hang on the tree, and the branches are luxuriant. Each branch is tied with countless red silk ribbons.
Su Rong raised her face and looked up. Some of the red silk had writing on it, and some had no writing on it, just a strip of red cloth. Some of the red silk had been eroded by wind and rain and turned white. Some were brand new and looked like they were no more than a few years old.
Sunlight scene. Most of the writings are for marriage, with pairs of names written on them, and a few of them are written with blessing words, such as long life, peace every year, many children and good fortune, etc.
She tilted her head and asked Ye Guixue, "Do you want a blessing?"
When they were in Fenghuang Mountain in Jiangning County, she took Zhou Gu to climb Fenghuang Mountain and arrived in front of the Yuelao Temple. At that time, she heard Zhou Gu say that his grandmother and mother were both people who respected rules, and asked her if it would be okay to marry him.
She felt that she was not good enough and felt bored for a moment. Zhou Gu didn't seem to want to pray, so they just looked at them and left without praying.
She went to Yuelao Temple without seeking marriage. Perhaps at that time, she and he were destined to break off their engagement.
Ye Guixue smiled, "Guixue wants to ask for help, where is Xiao Qi?"
Since that day when they met at Duke Cheng's Mansion, he had always listened to her and called her Xiaoqi, and rarely called her Princess. It was the same now. He was asking about Xiaoqi, not Princess.
Su Rong curled her lips, "I think so."
Ye Guixue turned around and asked the little novice monk to get two pieces of red silk without writing. She handed one to Su Rong and took the other in her own hand. She asked softly: "Do you want to write?"
"Seven of the Imperial Guards died, and five of the Jingwei of the Duke Protector's Mansion died." Feng Ling lamented, "There were only about twenty of them, but the killers had hundreds of dead soldiers, and they all surrounded Young Master Zhou to kill him.
, obviously wanting to kill him and He Zheng all in one fell swoop. Of course, the most obvious thing is to kill him, after all, those people are deadly in every move."
Su Rong suspected that he had not learned the article well. Is this how the darkness under the lamp was used? He rolled his eyes at Fengling and said nothing.
Ye Guixue shook her head, "Xiaoqi is very good, and brought me a lot of fun that I have never experienced before."
Su Rong had already expected it, so he was not surprised when he heard his confirmation. He just asked: "What are the casualties?"
Ye Guixue stared at Su Rong with gentle eyes, "Shall I hang it up?"
Su Rong nodded, "Didn't the prince's people greet you?"
Su Rong pursed her lips and smiled, stepped forward, picked up the pen, and wrote the words "Hundred Years of Happiness" on the red silk in her hand. Then, below, she imitated Ye Guixue and drew a red plum.
There was a stone table under the tree with pen and ink on it. Ye Guixue took up the pen and wrote the words "Hundred Years of Love" on the red silk in her hand. Then she thought about it and drew a hibiscus flower below.
, then put down the pen and turned his head to look at Su Rong.
Fengling chuckled, "Don't you dislike my sister for being so rough?"
Fengling sighed, "How could I not tell you how awesome you are!"
Fengling was indeed the best at cooking, and he always strived to be the best at cooking. He immediately took over the work Su Rong was doing and asked Ye Guixue, "Have you never done this kind of thing, Mr. Ye?"
"Let's go to the highest point together." Su Rong put down his pen and handed his own to Ye Guixue. She took his in her own hand, raised her head and pointed at the top of the locust tree, "That's the top of the tree.
"
He compared her with a hibiscus, and she responded with a red plum.
Fei Ling chuckled, "Why didn't you show your dagger earlier? I looked at it behind my back and felt that it was... well hidden."
Fengling sniffed and said, "Sister, you are secretly grilling fish? Who said yesterday that in the land of Buddhism, one does not kill animals?"
The two of them got off the tree together and walked towards the back hill.
At that time, she and Zhou Gu were not familiar with each other, so it was better to do less than to do more.
When it came to Zhou Gu, he got to the point, "Sister, you were right this time. After I chased him fifty miles away, I saw a large number of killers surrounding Young Master Zhou. He was seriously injured and his strength was gone.
, I don’t know how long the fight had been going on at that time. Anyway, it was quite dangerous at the time, and even I was frightened. Fortunately, I got there in time. Otherwise, if I had gone even a few seconds later, he would have died."
Su Rong is a very cautious person, "The man I rescued has a Beijing accent. To be able to carry such a dagger that can cut iron as hard as mud, he must be rich or noble. If he is being hunted, his identity must not be simple.
.Zhou Gu is from the capital. I was stupid and showed the dagger in front of him. Aren't I asking for trouble?"
Ye Guixue really didn't. He had never tried baking things in the mountains since he was a child, so he could only stand aside and pick up branches for Su Rong.
Fengling was flipping the grilled fish and said to Su Rong: "Sister, these two fish are not mine. You have worked so hard, so go and catch another one for me!"
Su Rong leaned against the tree trunk and watched. The tied red silk was fluttering in the wind, and the hibiscus and plum blossoms were intertwined. Her eyes followed for a moment, then she calmed down and looked at Ye Guixue.
So, the two climbed up the tree together, one person occupied one side, and with two hands, they protected each other and tied the red silk together, and then tied it to the branch.
Fengling praised him, "Second Young Master Ye, you are really good at talking and have a good temper."
Ye Guixue smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Fengling was happy, "Sister, you are so nimble when catching fish." He remembered something and suddenly said: "Back then, someone was searching for a fisherman in Jiangning County, and they almost searched the entire Jiangning County.
I couldn't find it either, so I suspected that someone was looking for you. When I checked later, it turned out to be true. Guess what, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who specifically asked Young Master Zhou to look for you as his savior before he left the capital, but he looked in the wrong direction.
Well, Mr. Zhou’s people are confused, but they don’t know that you are right next to him.”
"Didn't someone start a killing spree here? You can kill everyone, let alone eat a fish." Su Rong had a good reason, "You came back just in time, come and grill it, you should be the best at this."
He thought for a while and then said, "I found a comb from the dead man. That comb was very different and exquisite. It had peach blossoms carved on it, like an object from the palace. Give it to Young Master Zhou
Put it away."
Ye Guixue laughed and said, "Okay."
Ye Guixue also looked at the tied red silk with warm eyes. When she saw Su Rong looking at him, he smiled at her.
He smiled "ha", overjoyed, "It's really dark under the lamp."
"Okay." Ye Guixue smiled and nodded.
Su Rong only felt that this smile was blazing. She was shaken for a moment, and she smiled slowly, "Let's go, let's go catch fish in the stream in the back mountain and eat grilled fish. Anyway, there are people in the Buddhist land.
If you stop killing, let us both grill a fish and eat it."
At the foot of the back mountain, I saw the two people squatting together, grilling fish. The aroma of sizzling fish came out, and it smelled very delicious.
Ye Guixue smiles.
Fengling traveled hundreds of miles back and forth and was very tired. After returning to the Great Buddha Temple, she learned that the two men had gone to the back mountain, so she went to the back mountain to find them.
"Writing our names would be too eye-catching." Su Rongxiao, "How about just writing that we have been together for a hundred years, and then tied together?"
Su Rong thought he was lucky to have come back so quickly, so he took a branch and went to the stream to guard a fish for him.
"After I arrived with my people, I killed all the dead soldiers. The prince's people also arrived. It is said that they encountered a small number of killers blocking the road, intending to delay the rescue." Fengling said: "Young Master Zhou's right arm
He and his back were each hit with a sword. The wounds are deep, but there should be no life-threatening injuries. There are no critical injuries. After the people from the East Palace arrive, I will hand it over to them and bring them back."
It’s true that people compare themselves to each other, and when it comes to discussing a woman’s favor, Young Master Zhou is far behind when he first met his master. Although he doesn’t have his eyes set above his head, he is still very proud. But Young Master Ye, he is suitable in every way.
, it won’t make the master feel any discomfort, and it’s really pleasing to the eye.
Su Rong said "Yes", "Just save the person."
She looked at Ye Guixue, "I'm afraid someone will come to the Great Buddha Temple for further questioning."
Ye Guixue nodded, "Now that the case has reached this point, a large number of killers have appeared. Master Zhou will definitely not hide it and will report the truth to His Majesty Daliang. His Majesty Daliang is determined not to allow such a large number of dead men to appear within a hundred miles of the capital.
It’s better to take Young Master Zhou’s fate, and people will definitely find out.”
Su Rong nodded. Although His Majesty is jealous of the Duke Protector's Palace, he absolutely cannot allow anyone to kill Zhou Gu. If he kills Zhou Gu, he will blow up the Duke Protector's Palace. She said: "In this case, we
Just stay a few more days! Let’s see who is coming to investigate the case, and also follow along to find out if there are any other places where filth and evil are hiding in the Great Buddha Temple.”
