The invisible Li Huowang stood silently on the canopy of the tree, silently looking at the endless honor guard in the distance.
Eunuchs, guards, palace maids, thousands of people of all kinds formed a long line, with no tail or head visible.
According to the information provided by Ji Lin, his targets, the empress dowager and the eldest princess, must be in the gorgeous honor guard now.
However, Li Huowang also understood that now was not a good opportunity to take action, especially when he did not know which luxury carriage the two of them were in, or how many people the other party had ambushed in the crowd.
If the two of them retreated deep into the palace, it would be difficult to do anything again.
The Empress Dowager of Daliang and the Princess of Daliang have such noble statuses. If you want to kill them by yourself, the method with the highest success rate must be a sneak attack.
Furthermore, if the sneak attack fails, it won’t be too late to have a head-on confrontation.
"Sui Sui, let's go." Li Sui, who was invisible with Li Huowang, slowly stretched out his transparent tentacles from Li Huowang's body and wrapped them around the branches.
With a slight exertion of his tentacles, Li Huowang's body jumped from one tree crown to another.
Li Huowang just hung at a distance, slowly moving forward with the solemn guard of honor.
At this critical moment, the temple where the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess wanted to worship the Bodhisattva was naturally not far away from the capital city. After only following for more than ten kilometers, Li Huowang had already seen the mist-shrouded peaks of Yunshan Mountain in the distance.
Above, a Bodhisattva holding a jade vase is built against the mountain. Standing there, he looks extremely shocked.
Li Huowang didn't know what kind of Bodhisattva this was, but the Bodhisattva in Daliang was different from Li Huowang's impression. The Bodhisattva in Daliang was actually a man.
The male Bodhisattva, who is as huge as a mountain, holds a vase in one hand and holds the Buddha's seal lightly in the other, looking at everything in front of him with his compassionate eyes that save all sentient beings.
"Let's go! Let's go to the temple first!" Li Huowang quickened his pace, taking one step ahead of the honor guard and arriving at the solemn temple in front of the Bodhisattva.
Naturally, it cannot be a small temple to have such a huge Bodhisattva. The dozens of acres of land in front of the Bodhisattva all belong to the same temple.
The temple among the green trees, the apricot walls, the blue-gray ridge, the incense of the pilgrims, and the deep and distant sound of the bells make the whole temple look extremely solemn and sacred.
Incense smoke filled the temple, and an endless stream of worshipers rushed here. They clasped their hands together, raised them above their chests, foreheads, and heads, and then spread them flat on the ground. This happened every day, and many places on the ground stone slabs were dented.
Obviously, among the people, the status of this temple is absolutely extraordinary.
"Let's go!" Li Huowang, who was invisible, jumped onto the eaves and entered the temple first.
Li Huowang is not worried that this temple, like Zhengde Temple, will be a den of thieves who will ambush him. According to the news from Ji Lin, the monks in this temple are nothing special. The monks are just ordinary monks. They are ordinary.
Bullying men and dominating women.
Even if there are any secrets hidden in the temple, they will never get involved in the fight for the heir.
I can live in a temple so close to the capital because anyone who is not a fool knows that this kind of thing cannot be mixed up. If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces.
By the time he found a remote place to stay, the narrow guard of honor had already emerged from the road in front of the temple.
Rows of monks in yellow robes, led by several monks in cassocks, came to the wide temple gate to greet him.
Li Huowang, who was hiding in the temple, held his breath and silently watched everything in the distance.
As the palace ladies in gorgeous silks and satins opened like a fan screen, Li Huowang saw the empress dowager and eldest princess of Daliang for the first time.
"Beautiful, stunning." This was Li Huowang's first reaction to them.
As Ji Lin's sister, I won't mention how beautiful she is. As his biological mother, she actually has a comparable appearance.
Her flawless white skin shows a hint of pink, and her thin lips are as delicate as rose petals. Time has not left any trace on her face.
If it weren't for the different clothes on his body, Li Huowang wouldn't even be able to tell which one was the empress dowager and which one was the eldest princess.
Under Li Huowang's gaze, after the eldest princess in the distance said something to the abbot, the guards behind them stepped forward one after another, drove out all the pilgrims who had not yet left, and also surrounded the entire temple.
.
Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess walked into the temple surrounded by eunuchs and maids.
They walked all the way inside without stopping. Finally, they stepped on the stone stairs and arrived at the tall tower in the center of the temple. They knelt devoutly on the futon and paid homage to the Bodhisattva built on the mountain.
And the majestic Bodhisattva looked at it without sadness or joy,
"Dad, what are they doing?" Li Sui, who had never seen such a scene before, could not understand this behavior.
"They are worshiping the Bodhisattva. They are probably asking the Bodhisattva to forgive their sins. Also, if they help one of their sons kill their other son, I am afraid that no matter who they are, they will feel uneasy." Li Huowang explained to Li Sui in his heart.
Tao.
Li Huowang was very patient and still had no intention of taking action. He stood there like a stone.
They have traveled so far to come to this place with so much effort and effort, and it is impossible for them to just pay their respects casually. They must stay in this temple.
"Dang~dang~" accompanied by the sound of the bell, the monks in the temple sat cross-legged on the ground with the high tower as the center and began to chant sutras.
Against this solemn background, the sun passed in front of the Bodhisattva and finally slowly set behind him.
At the third watch of the night, Li Huowang felt that the time was ripe. Li Sui used his black tentacles to wrap around the beams, hanging the invisible Li Huowang upside down and slowly walked towards their residence.
Li Huowang moved very slowly. Even if he thought with his buttocks, he knew that there must be an ambush around the two women's residence.
After moving slowly and fearfully for an hour, Li Huowang finally bypassed the hidden sentry outside and arrived near the two high-quality Buddhist temples.
Although it was already late at night, there were still many eunuchs and maids standing vigil around the Zen room.
"Li Sui, when you go in later, remember, let's go to the left first and then the right. After killing, we will leave. We will never hesitate to fight."
After giving the order, Li Huowang gritted his teeth and raised his right hand, slowly holding the hilt of the sword.
Just when he was about to take action, there was a "crunch" and a Zen room on the left suddenly opened. Several strong palace maids carried a bald little monk wrapped in a blanket and walked towards the other side of the Zen room.
"Stop, what time is it, what are you doing?" An old eunuch with white frost on his face came out and stood in front of the palace maid.
"To Eunuch Cao, the princess said that she saw the Queen Mother worshiping Buddha during the day and was exhausted, so she wanted to show her filial piety."
