Chapter 130

Tang Tianxiao brought more than a dozen skilled guards, and followed the village woman along the mountain road for a while.

Seeing that the morning glow in the sky gradually faded, and the sun turned from dark red to bright, they had passed through two canyons and rushed to a hillside that was not very hidden.

The village woman was very careful, pointing to the faintly visible dilapidated temple on the mountainside, leading them through the dense jungle and copying up from the side.

Looking at the dilapidated fence piled up with earth and rocks in front, the village woman ran to a low-lying depression, took a bundle of firewood that had obviously been prepared, walked up to Tang Tianxiao, pointed upwards, and took out another Huo Zhezi shook.

Tang Tianxiao nodded and said, "You want to go up to see what's going on, and then light a fire or smoke when you can act?"

The village woman showed joy and nodded repeatedly.

Tang Tianxiao said: "Then you go, I will wait for your signal here. If Concubine Shu is saved, I will give you whatever she is willing to give you."

The village woman shook her head, her rough and deep edges flashed with tenderness.She pointed at it again, making a gesture of holding a baby in her arms.

"You hugged her? When she was a child?"

The village woman nodded with distressed expression on her face, then pointed to Tang Tianxiao's heart, and then pointed to the ruined temple above, her black eyes were full of hope.

Tang Tianxiao said: "Do you want me to treat her? Don't worry, she treats me like a husband-in-law, and I will treat her like a beloved wife."

The village woman was overjoyed, carried the firewood on her back, bowed her waist and burrowed into the forest. After a while, she appeared on the narrow and steep mountain road in front of the temple.

When Tang Tianxiao quietly turned to wait and see, he saw a man in black emerge from the temple, muttered a few curses, and let her go in sideways.

Tang Tianxiao couldn't understand a single word he scolded.

He asked Zhuo Rui, who was closely guarded by his side, "Beihe dialect?"

"Yes."

"what did you say?"

"Say... Hurry up and boil more water to wait for the traitor to wash up. Brothers have been busy all night, so they have to take a good bath."

Chen Cai, who was behind him, said angrily, "What kind of bath do you take early in the morning? Wash them clean so we can send them on their way?"

When Zhuo Rui was busy winking at him to stop him, Tang Tianxiao's eyes turned coldly, burning red like a burning knife, as if he was going to nail him alive on the rock.

He shuddered and didn't dare to speak, until Tang Tianxiao's attention turned back to the ruined temple, he asked Zhuo Rui in a low voice: "Did I say something wrong?"

Zhuo Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Can you keep silent?"

Chen Cai was patrolling around the peak in the early morning, but he didn't see those indecent things when he came back; Zhuo Rui saw it, but he would rather he didn't see it.

The most pitiful thing was Tang Tianxiao, even if he wanted to pretend he didn't see it.

If Ke Qianmei endured those humiliations, he would undoubtedly have to bear them with her, unless he didn't plan to spend his life with her.

He looked at the ruined temple in a daze, and said coldly: "Qianmei...is it really in this temple?"

Zhuo Rui had no way to answer, he just said: "This temple has also been searched twice, and there was no movement at that time. Could it be that it was hidden nearby, and the imperial guards retreated to the mountain yesterday and then returned to this temple?"

Tang Tianxiao settled down, and looked at the temple carefully, but there were three main halls connected to each other, which were very tall, but after many years, most of the side had collapsed, and the roofs in the middle and the other side had also collapsed and deformed. The base of the wall is half a person's height, and it is made of bluestone, and there is no sign of an overturned couch.

The beams and pillars in front of the door don't know what kind of wood they are made of, and they don't show any decay.

When looking at the gable wall again, ordinary mountain stones are piled hastily on the top, but the foundation below is made of regular and hard blue stones, which are built tightly and seamlessly. It is not made by ordinary craftsmen at first glance, but it is already covered with moss and deep.

He asked: "Isn't this place designated as a forbidden area by the Southern Dynasties many years ago? Even if the mountain people were allowed to come in and hunt later, there is no reason to allow those mountain people to build such a large temple here openly, right?"

Zhuo Rui also noticed the abnormality of this temple, and thought: "This Jingshan Mountain was originally named Xiangshan. More than 400 years ago, when Ruidu was still called Ningdu, Wei Taizong Tuobaxu visited this mountain. For some reason, he said with emotion that ordinary people only Begging to be a marquis, worshiping ministers, proclaiming kings and emperors, how do you know the happiness of Jingchai and commoners hand in hand for a lifetime? Therefore, Xiangshan was changed to Jingshan, and this mountain was designated as a royal garden at that time, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter the mountain at will. Generally speaking, this temple probably existed at that time, and it fell into disrepair when the mountain was closed and the incense was cut off. After a long time, it probably became a temporary place for the mountain people to stay after entering the mountain, right?"

Therefore, the houses behind the temple have collapsed without a trace, only the front ones are still being repaired, barely able to accommodate them.

"Tuobaxu... is that Wei Taizong who suddenly disappeared after ten years of ruling the world?"

In this world, long-term unity must be divided, and long-term division must be united.

400 years ago, Wei Taizong Tuobaxu inherited his brother's legacy, and rode all over the world on iron cavalry, ending the situation of great division of the world that lasted more than a hundred years; more than 300 years later, the world was once again in chaos, and the North and South faced each other for decades, and Tang Tianxiao succeeded It took nearly ten years before it was unified.

Although Tang Tianxiao never unified this troubled world with his own hands, nor did he have such a reputation as Tuoba Xu who galloped across the battlefield to shake the world, but he was indeed the second monarch in 400 years to clean up the troubled times and rule the world. pay attention to.

But such folklore has never been recorded in official history.

Seeing that he was interested, Zhuo Rui continued: "Yes, it is Wei Taizong. His whereabouts are indeed strange. Some people say that he was assassinated, some people say that he became a monk, and some people say that he took a woman with him to wander the world. , Wei Gaozong, who accepted the Zen throne, has searched for three years and has not found him, nor has he continued to track down his tracks. The final outcome of such a generation of overlords has become an eternal mystery."

"Being king and emperor is not as good as Jingchai and commoners joining hands for a lifetime?"

Tang Tianxiao felt a little bewildered, "Actually... it makes sense. I don't think this iron-blooded emperor is such a temperamental person."
