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. Daylight view. Most of the ones written were for marriage, with pairs of names written on them, while a few wrote words of blessing, such as long life, peace every year, and having many children and good fortune.
She tilted her head and asked Ye Guixue, "Are you asking for 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.
Visit Yuelao Temple without seeking marriage. Perhaps at that time, it was destined that she and he would break off their engagement.
Ye Guixue smiled, "Guixue would like 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. The same is true today. He was asking about Xiao Qi, not the 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?"
"If we write our names, it would be too eye-catching." Su Ronghao, "How about just writing that we have been together for a hundred years, and then tie them together?"
Ye Guixue smiled and nodded, "Okay."
There was a stone table under the tree with pen and ink on it. Ye Guixue took up the pen and wrote the four 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.
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.
He compared her with a hibiscus, and she responded with a red plum.
Ye Guixue stared at Su Rong with gentle eyes, "Shall I hang up?"
"Let's hang it at the highest point together." Su Rong put down his pen and handed his to Ye Guixue. She took his in her own hand, raised her head and pointed at the top of the locust tree, "The top of the tree. "
"Okay." Ye Guixue nodded with a smile.
So the two of them climbed up the tree together, one person occupying one side, and using two hands to protect each other, they tied the red silk together and then tied it to the branch.
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 them for a moment, and then she calmed down and looked at Ye Guixue.
Ye Guixue also looked at the tied red silk with warm eyes. Seeing Su Rong looking at him, he smiled at her.
Su Rong only felt that this smile was scorching her beauty. Her mind was shaken for a moment, and she smiled slowly, "Let's go, let's go to the stream in the back mountain to catch fish and eat grilled fish. Anyway, there are people who opened it in the Buddhist land." The killing is over, and we both have to grill a fish."
Ye Guixue laughed and said, "Okay."
The two of them got off the tree together and walked towards the back hill.
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.
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.
Fengling sniffed, "Sister, you are secretly grilling fish? Who said yesterday that in the land of Buddhism, one does not kill animals?"
"Didn't someone start a killing spree here? You can kill anyone, let alone eat a fish." Su Rong had a good reason, "You came back just in time, come and bake it, you should be the best at this."
Fei Ling was indeed the best at cooking. He always strived to be the best at cooking. He immediately took over the work Su Rong was doing and asked Ye Guixue, "Has Young Master Ye never done this kind of thing before?"
Ye Guixue really didn't. Growing up, he never cared about baking things in the mountains.
I had tried it before, so I could only stand aside, pick up branches for Su Rong, and beat him.
Fengling chuckled, "Don't you dislike my sister for being so rough?"
Ye Guixue shook her head, "Xiaoqi is very good, he brought me a lot of fun that I have never experienced before."
Fengling praised him, "Second Young Master Ye, you are really good at talking and have a good temper."
It is true that people compare themselves to others, and they discuss the favor of women. Young Master Zhou was far from the best when he first met his master. Although he was not too high-minded, he was still very proud. As for the second young master Ye, he is suitable in every aspect and will not make the master feel any discomfort. He is indeed lovable.
Ye Guixue smiled.
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 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.
Fengling was happy, "Sister, you are so nimble when catching fish." He remembered something and suddenly said: "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 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 looking for you at a loss, but they don’t know that you are right next to him.”
He smiled "ha" and said with great joy, "It's really dark under the lamp."
Su Rong suspected that he had not learned the article well. Is this how darkness is used under the lamp? He rolled his eyes at Fengling and said nothing.
Fei Ling chuckled, "Why didn't you reveal your dagger earlier? I looked at it from behind and felt that it was... well hidden."
Su Rong is a very cautious person, "The man I rescued has a Beijing accent. He carries such a dagger that can cut iron as fast as clay. 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?"
At that time, she and Zhou Gu were not familiar with each other, so it was better to do less than to do more.
Fengling sighed, "How could I not tell you how awesome you are!"
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 had already expected it, so he was not surprised when he heard his confirmation. He just asked: "How are the casualties?"
"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, and there were hundreds of assassins and dead soldiers, all surrounding Young Master Zhou to kill him. , obviously want to wipe out him and He Zheng everyone 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 nodded, "Didn't the Crown Prince's people greet you?"
"After I arrived with my people, I killed all the dead soldiers. The prince's people also arrived. It is said that they met a small number of killers on the road to delay the rescue." Fengling said: "Young Master Zhou's right arm He and his back were each hit by 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 arrived, I handed them over and brought them back."
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 something from the palace. Give it to Young Master Zhou. Put it away."
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, there are actually a large number of killers. 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, and It’s better to take Mr. Zhou’s life, and people will definitely find out.”
Su Rong nodded. Although His Majesty is jealous of the Duke Protector's Mansion, he absolutely cannot allow anyone to kill Zhou Gu. If
Killing Zhou Gu would blow up the Duke Protector's mansion to the ground. She said: "In that case, let's stay a few more days! Let's see who is coming to investigate the case, and also follow the investigation to see if there are any other dirty places in the Great Buddha Temple."
Ye Guixue also had this intention, "Okay."
