Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 537 Chapter 549: Undercurrents
Just when Li Hao and Li Zhi were exchanging greetings, they saw another team coming from behind, very fast, this team was not small, 500 people, and it was actually escorted by Jinwu Guards, Li Hao and Li Zhi Seeing this team approaching, I was a little confused.

"Your Highness, is there any prince in the palace who is more powerful than you? He is actually escorted by the Jinwu Guard?" Li Hao asked in a daze. The emperor's guard of honor.

Li Zhi scratched his head with a dry smile when he heard the words: "Probably not."

While they were talking, Li Guo, the general of the Habayashi Army who was in charge of escorting Li Zhi, had already brought a hundred Habayashi troops to greet him. Who is coming? His Royal Highness is here, please make a detour!

The team stopped slowly, only to see one person riding out of the team, Li Hao and Li Zhi suddenly exclaimed in unison: "Li Yuanzhong?"

That's right, this Jinwu Guard is actually led by Li Yuanzhong, the general of the Habayashi Army and the general of the Jinwu Guard.

When Li Guo saw Li Yuanzhong, he was so frightened that he quickly got off his horse and saluted everyone: "Greetings, General!"

Li Yuanzhong raised his hand to signal them to excuse them, and said in a loud voice: "This general conferred the holy order to escort Princess Jinyang to Ganye Temple to be ordained as a monk!"

Hearing this, Li Zhi said happily: "Sister Mingda's car is actually driving, haha."

Li Hao also smiled lightly, and said, "Your Highness, let's meet Princess Jinyang."

"Okay!" The two got on their horses one after another, turned their horses and headed towards Princess Jinyang's motorcade.

Seeing Li Zhi and Li Hao coming together, Li Yuanzhong hurriedly got off his horse and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness, King Qiongnan!"

"General Li is about to be excused." Li Zhi immediately stepped forward to support Li Yuanzhong, and Li Hao took a step behind him.

At this time, the curtain of Li Mingda's carriage behind him was lifted, revealing Li Mingda's small head. Li Mingda blinked his eyes and saw Li Hao and Li Zhi, and shouted happily: "Brother Zhinu, sir!" Then he was about to get off the carriage .

Seeing this, the eunuch at the side hurriedly prepared the horse pier, and Gong'e helped Li Mingda get off the car.

Li Mingda came to Li Zhi and Li Hao and saluted: "Brother Prince, sir." When addressing her formally, she generally called Li Zhi Brother Prince instead of Brother Zhinu.

Both Li Hao and Li Zhi nodded with a smile, and Li Zhi asked with a smile: "Mingda, you really...why did you come to Ganye Temple all of a sudden, without a guard of honor, I wonder who is so powerful that General Li leads the Jinwu Guard escort."

Mingda smiled and said: "This was arranged suddenly by my father. My father sent someone to ask Master Xuanzang to take the precepts for Mingda, but Master Xuanzang refused. My father had no choice but to say that you just happened to come to Ganye Temple, Brother Prince Let General Li escort Mingda to Ganye Temple to ask Abbot Huijing to receive precepts for me, or let the prince elder brother take care of Mingda, because Mingda is about to become a Buddhist, so he doesn't have the princess guard of honor."

"You...you're messing around." Li Zhi smiled and patted her head, and said dotingly, "Even if you become a monk, you are still a princess. When you go out in the future, you must wear the princess guard of honor."

"Yes, Mingda understands." Li Mingda nodded obediently, and while speaking, she raised her head slightly and looked at Li Hao.

Li Hao didn't know what to say at this moment, he was a little embarrassed, so embarrassed that his brain suddenly cramped, and said: "Since the two Highnesses are going to Ganye Temple, then the servants should avoid it, and go to fulfill the vow another day."

"Don't!" Li Zhi hurriedly said, "Others need to avoid, but you don't have to avoid Shikuang."

Since ancient times, when the royal family travels, the people and officials have to avoid it, which is equivalent to booking the venue in the future world. In fact, this is also for the sake of safety, unless some ministers have given permission, but with so many episodes like Li Hao, It is absolutely impossible to enter the same temple with the royal team.

Li Mingda also said anxiously at this time: "If Mingda delays Mr.'s affairs, then Mingda will not go to Ganye Temple."

Li Hao touched his nose when he heard the words, and said: "In this case, let's go together, and the servants will definitely protect the safety of the two Highnesses."

Li Zhi laughed and said: "Poet mad, you are worrying unnecessarily. With General Li Yuanzhong and so many Jinwu Guards of the Habayashi Army here, what are you worried about?"

Li Hao looked up at the sky, and said: "It's getting late, there are still nearly ten miles of mountain roads, we have to hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to reach Ganye Temple even after dark."

"That's right." Li Zhi nodded, turned to Li Yuanzhong and said, "General Li, the lonely team and sister Mingda's team will be joined together, and you will lead them both."

"Yes!" Li Yuanzhong accepted the order with cupped fists.

Li Zhi patted Li Mingda on the shoulder: "Mingda, go back to the car, we are ready to go up the mountain."

"En." Li Mingda nodded obediently, and returned to the carriage.

Li Hao and Li Zhi returned to the team on horseback, and Li Hao led the team to join Li Zhi's team.

The three teams joined together and began to go up the mountain. The mountain here is relatively gentle, and the speed of the horses and horses is much slower. Halfway up the mountain, there is a stone path leading to the Ganye Temple. This stone path is not long. Only 30 meters away, everyone abandoned their carriages and horses, two pregnant women and Li Mingda sat in a sedan chair, and the others walked up the mountain.

There are many Yulin soldiers standing guard along the way, including inside the Ganye Temple, there are also hundreds of Yulin soldiers everywhere, because Li Zhi is the prince, if he wants to come to fulfill his vows, he must notify in advance and send someone Clear the field and ensure safety. This hundred-feathered forest army has been here for several days.

The abbot of Ganye Temple, Mrs. Huijing, led all the nuns of the temple to welcome them in a line at the gate of the temple. When Li Zhi arrived with people, Huijing led all the nuns together and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is welcome to Ganye Temple."

Li Zhi stepped forward to repay the salute, and said: "Masters, please excuse me, this time not only came here alone, but also Princess Jinyang."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuanzhong came out suddenly, pulled out a bright yellow scroll, and said loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived! The abbot of Ganye Temple, Hui Jing, accepts the decree!"

"Huijing welcomes the imperial decree!" Master Huijing hurriedly led the group of nuns to salute again.

Li Yuanzhong began to recite the imperial decree, which was very simple, saying that Princess Jinyang would lead monks to practice spiritually, and asked Mrs. Huijing to help her get the precepts.

After the imperial decree was read, Master Huijing stepped forward to accept the imperial edict. At this moment, Li Hao stepped forward and saluted with palms together: "Qionnan King Li Hao, I pay my respects to Master Huijing."

"King Qiongnan?" Master Huijing's eyes lit up when she heard the name, and she looked up at Li Hao. Obviously, he was more interested in Li Hao than the crown prince and Princess Jinyang.

Mrs. Huijing hastily clasped her palms together and returned the salute: "It turns out that King Qiongnan is here. The poor nun has poor eyesight and doesn't know the distinguished guest. I'm disrespectful."

"Master's words are serious." Li Hao said solemnly, "Before the Buddha, all living beings are equal, and what my master said is a bit deceptive."

Master Huijing was shocked again when she heard the words, and then sighed in admiration: "I have heard that King Qiongnan Zhiguan is alive, but I didn't expect that the prince is also proficient in Buddhism, and he can explain the Buddhist Zen in a single word. Huijing has practiced for decades, and it is not worth it in front of the prince. Mention."

Thousands of muddy horses galloped past Li Hao's heart. Does this mean he is proficient in Buddhism?This is an old-fashioned line in Tianlong Babu, okay, but also explain the Buddhist Zen?Did I succeed in pretending?

At this moment, Li Hao suddenly felt a sense of coldness. He turned his head and found Wu Meiniang was staring at him. Seeing his gaze, Wu Meiniang immediately looked away.

Seeing Wu Meiniang, Li Hao frowned immediately, he thought of Li Zhi again, turned his head to look at Li Zhi, Li Zhi didn't seem to see Wu Meiniang, he was happy for Li Hao's successful pretending, and said: " Sir, I did not expect you to be proficient in Buddhism and Taoism, sir always surprise Zhi."

If it is true, Li Hao is not afraid of boasting, but he really doesn't know anything about Buddhism, and if he continues to boast, he will blush, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Ah, it's getting late, let's go in quickly."

Li Zhi nodded: "Yes, Abbot Huijing, have the guest rooms been arranged?"

Huijing said: "Go back to His Royal Highness, everything has been prepared a long time ago, all the rooms have been cleaned, please follow the poor nun."

While talking, Huijing brought them into Ganye Temple.

The Ganye Temple is not big, there are only more than 80 nuns in total, and there are not many rooms. Suddenly more than 1000 people came. How can this small Ganye Temple accommodate it? Some of them were stationed outside the temple, and the rest were stationed in the open area of ​​the temple. With so many guards stationed in such a small place, Ah Da and Ah Er, who were hiding in the lower secret room of Wu Meiniang's meditation room, were so frightened that their hearts thumped wildly, even though they were masters. , but no matter how high the hands are, they are no match for more than 1000 elite soldiers, and most of these Habayashi soldiers and Jinwu guards still carry crossbows, which is really not something they can deal with. They can only hide in the underground chamber like mice, Well, this underground secret room has a passage leading to the outside world. If they find that something is wrong, they can escape at any time, otherwise they dare not even stay in this secret room.

Li Hao was arranged to live in the East Wing, and lived in the same courtyard as Li Zhi. As soon as he landed, Li Hao ordered a hundred special forces to be distributed in every corner of the courtyard, and then asked the accompanying masters to protect Li Mingda. Only Situ Feng and Zeng Yulin's father and daughter were brought out, and Ye Mengqiu, Chen Song, Lu Yun, and Zhu Ruihuan were in charge of nursing at home.

After all, Li Mingda was hijacked once before. This time, Li Hao specially sent Zeng Yulin's daughter, Zeng Yihan, to protect Li Mingda. Zeng Yihan is a daughter, so it is more convenient to protect Li Mingda.

After setting up all the guard posts, Li Hao finally felt at ease, and then, Huijing sent someone to invite them to the restaurant for a vegetarian meal, so Li Hao took Li Ping and Li Zhi and his wife to the restaurant for dinner.

At the same time, Wu Meiniang had already returned to the room. She knocked three times on a bluestone slab in the corner, and then twice again. The bluestone slab was slowly lifted up. When I came out to take a look, I didn't know whether it was Ah Da or Ah Er, anyway, they looked exactly the same.

"Don't worry, there is no one, come out." Wu Meiniang said, and Ah Da and Ah Er came out one after another.

"How's the situation?" Ada asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, as long as you hide in the secret room, nothing will happen." Wu Meiniang said, "Brother Liang Ding has sent a letter to Master, I believe there will be a reply soon."

A few days ago, Liang Ding failed to assassinate Di Renjie, so he came to Wu Meiniang to avoid his wounds. Unexpectedly, a hundred feather soldiers came to the temple suddenly and began to clear the place, saying that the crown prince was pregnant and the crown prince wanted to bring the crown princess to fulfill his wish. Since then From then on, a hundred Yulin soldiers lived here.

Wu Meiniang told Liang Ding at the time that it would be fine if the princess concubine gave birth to a girl, but if she gave birth to a boy, it would definitely affect the big plan in the future.
