Volume 1: The Red Moon Rising Chapter 46: Turning the Fingers Softly
While everyone was talking, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and a large group of knights in bright clothes and angry horses came galloping towards them. At the front of the group was a middle-aged man, and next to him were two handsome young men.
They rushed to the pier, and Zhao Xiangyi hurried up to meet the middle-aged man. She called out sadly: "Daddy", then threw herself into his arms and started crying.
The two young masters were dressed in armor. They greeted Zhao Qiongying and Lu Shouping and began to look at Yang Jiong carefully. The monk in front of them was more handsome than them. He didn't know what he had to do with Master Fayuan who saved the little sister.
.
Zhao Qiongying was outspoken and told the two of them: "He is Master Yang Jiong who saved Xiangyi. Without him, not only would Xiangyi suffer, but Fan Cheng doesn't know how many other women would be harmed by that charlatan."
A young man said: "Uncle, you reported urgently in the early morning that the person who saved my little sister was Master Fayuan. Why did he become Master Yang Jiong at this time? We hurriedly dealt with Yang Qingsong and came here to express our thanks to Master Fayuan."
Zhao Qiongying pointed at Yang Jiong and said: "He is Master Fayuan, and now his common name is Yang Jiong. In the future, he will also be your younger brother, so you can have a good relationship."
Her thunderous words came one after another, causing the two young men to be stunned. Yang Jiong said Amitabh in a accustomed manner, and suddenly remembered that he was no longer a monk. He said to them: "I
Now he has returned to secular life, his surname is Yang and his name is Jiong."
Zhao Xiangyi had cried enough in her father's arms, so she pulled him and introduced to Yang Jiong: "This is my father." Her face was full of sweetness and happiness.
King Ruyang has fair skin and a handsome face. Although he is past middle age, it can be seen that when he was young, he must have been one of the rare handsome men in the world. The two young gentlemen, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, are very handsome. Zhao Xiangyi introduced: "
These two are the eldest brother and the second brother, and my father and two brothers are very kind to me."
After King Ruyang and the two princes thanked Yang Jiong, an attendant brought a large tray. The tray was filled with glittering gold and yellow and white things.
King Ruyang said sincerely: "Master's kindness in saving my daughter's life, I will remember it in my heart. This is a small gift to express my gratitude. Please accept it, master."
Yang Jiong waved his hand and said: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. We are Buddhists who eliminate demons, protect the Tao, and save all sentient beings. It is also our duty to save people. Your Majesty, don't worry about it, Amitabha." It has been a habit for seventeen years.
It's hard to change, so Yang Jiong returned the gift.
Zhao Xiangyi tugged on the corner of Yang Jiong's clothes and whispered: "Brother Yang, you don't want gold and silver, so you can take this opportunity to ask your father to give you some money."
I am betrothed to you."
Her voice was very low, and the river wind was strong. King Ruyang and his two sons were standing far away and could not hear her. But they were a little surprised when they saw the natural intimacy between Zhao Xiangyi and Yang Jiong. The usually gentle and elegant little daughter
Jia, why are you so generous today and talking so intimately to a man?
Yang Jiong glanced at her and didn't know how to answer. This passionate and passionate woman couldn't wait to marry him. But his heart was only full of Ruolan, and he hadn't married her yet.
Thoughts. After all, it was less than a day since they met.
Zhao Xiangyi is extremely beautiful, and her love is passionate and dedicated. From the heart, Yang Jiong is not disgusted with Zhao Xiangyi. He also likes this beautiful woman very much.
Zhao Qiongying and his wife met with King Ruyang. She took King Ruyang away and murmured. After talking for a while, King Ruyang looked strange and looked at Yang Jiong from time to time. When she mentioned that Yang Jiong returned to secular life for Xiangyi, Xiangyi
When he threw himself into the river because of Yang Jiong, King Ruyang was stunned and stunned by Zhao Qiongying's thunder.
Zhao Qiongying said proudly: "Brother, don't worry, my little sister won't be blind this time. Yang Jiong is thousands of times better than Yang Yu, and he is the best candidate for Yi'er's husband."
Zhao Xiangyi urged Yang Jiong to propose marriage to her father. Yang Jiong comforted her and said: "Now I am wearing monk robes, and the nine scars on my head are obvious. Let me mention this matter after a while when my hair grows."
Zhao Xiangyi said anxiously: "You are an upright man. Even a weak woman like me can put down my stature and reserve. Are you not as good as a woman like me?"
Yang Jiong's face turned red when she poked him, and his blood surged. He said loudly to the King of Ruyang: "Your Majesty, poor monk - I have something to ask of you."
King Ruyang nodded and said: "Master, please speak, but if you have any requests, I will do my best to complete them."
Yang Jiong said: "I have returned to secular life now, and I am in love with my concubine. Thanks to Xiangyi for not giving up, I sincerely ask the prince to marry Princess Xiangyi to me. I hope the prince will make it happen."
Although Zhao Qiongying had prepared the ground for King Ruyang in advance, Yang Jiong suddenly brought it up in public, which was shocking. King Ruyang's face gradually darkened, and he did not answer for a while.
Zhao Xiangyi is the apple of King Ruyang's eye. He favors this daughter more than his two sons. From a heart point of view, Yang Jiong is handsome, has strong martial arts skills, and has good character. In every aspect, he is his daughter's good friend.
match.
However, Yang Jiong conquered Zhengde in the Buddhist fight in Beijing and became a dragon country.
A well-known figure. If he marries his daughter, he will definitely arouse the suspicion of the emperor. Since ancient times, emperors have been so ruthless, how could he allow a master of the heavenly realm to appear in the family of a county prince?
He and Emperor Zhao Junan have the same grandfather, and their blood relationship has become weak by their generation. Zhao Junan has been the emperor for more than ten years. He is ruthless and decisive in dealing with things. He is by no means a kind person. If he causes the emperor to feel uneasy, he, who was originally marginalized,
My lord, I'm afraid it's the end.
Zhao Qiongying was a prostitute and was slow to react to politics. However, King Ruyang was thoughtful and considered many aspects.
Seeing that her father did not answer for a long time, Zhao Xiangyi said anxiously: "Dad, your daughter will not marry him unless she is married to him. You will not force your daughter to throw herself into the river again, will you?"
The King of Ruyang said angrily in a deep voice: "Nonsense!" Then he gave Zhao Xiangyi a stern look, mounted his horse and drove away with a whip. He neither agreed nor disagreed.
Yang Jiong and others didn't know why. Lu Shouping and the prince had been sophisticated for a long time, but they knew what King Ruyang meant. He tacitly approved Yang Jiong and Xiangyi's marriage.
He didn't agree to Yang Jiong, that is, he didn't tell the truth in front of everyone. No one could guarantee that among the hundreds of guards and entourage, there was no spy of the emperor. If the emperor asked about this matter, he could use this as an excuse and say that he was not a spy.
I don’t agree with Xiang Yi and Yang Jiong being together.
The second young master was only two years older than Xiangyi, just twenty years old. He smiled at Fa Yuan and said: "The master is a senior monk of Bailan Temple. He shined in the Buddha fight and won honors for Longteng Kingdom. I have a little doubt.
, are you really worthy of vulgarity?"
Zhao Qiongying and Zhao Xiangyi said in unison: "He was revoked by Master Daoji and renamed Yang Jiong. This is an indisputable fact, why don't you believe it?"
The Prince of Ruyang said: "I don't mean that, and I have some doubts. Can you really return to secular life?"
What they meant was that Yang Jiong was not an ordinary monk. Now that Daoji had expelled him from Buddhism, it did not mean that he had truly returned to secular life. Bailan Temple is a holy land of Longteng Buddhism, and it has more power than the abbot's presbytery.
Protecting the Court. The most important thing is that the prosperity of Longteng Buddhism is beneficial to the country's rule. Will Emperor Zhao Junan agree to Yang Jiong's return to secular life?
Yang Jiong pondered for a moment and affirmed: "I can return to secular life."
The prince and the second young master clasped their fists at Yang Jiong and said, "Then I will leave my little sister to you. You must love her and take good care of her." Like the kings of Ruyang, the two of them led the remaining dozens of cavalry away from the dust.
. He didn’t even mention taking Zhao Xiangyi away, let alone the two getting married.
