Chapter 167: Sudden encounter with robbers

Buddhism bathes and fasts, and has always paid attention to the word "purity".

However, after experiencing the incident just now, the thieves who were suspected of disturbing the harem and spying on the living itinerary of the saint without permission, this Buddha worship ceremony has become restless.

No matter which dynasty or generation, it has always been unpredictable, and this group of people followed behind the silent emperor, coupled with the incident just now, naturally they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.

From the point of view just now, the emperor has been completely angry, but because he is in the Buddhist temple, he did not open the killing ring, and directly took the life of the little nun.

But this group of them, one is not a disciple of Buddhism, and the other is not a teacher who is too pleading, but if they do the slightest wrong thing, it has aroused the anger of this saint today, and the consequences are naturally conceivable.

A group of palace servants trembled and knelt on the ground, listening to the scriptures and songs coming from their ears.

Standing on the high platform, the gray-robed wide-sleeved master Tai, staring at the old face like tangerine peel, waving the dust with one hand, bending the two fingers of the other hand against the three fingers, twisting the Buddhist cultivation recipe and reciting the words.

After the gray-robed master finished singing the chant, he waved the dust and swept the dew from the side, and then turned around and sprinkled it on the emperor's palm, "Donor, this is the dew of the first nine dynasties, after my Buddha's care, as long as you devote yourself to praying for blessings, you will be able to protect Da'an." ”

The emperor, whose hands were covered with dew, waited until he washed the invisible dust in his palms before taking the sandalwood from the nuns in the green robe and long shirt.

The emperor who took the sandalwood looked at the giant Buddha statue in front of him with distant eyes, and then raised the sandalwood in his hands with his hands folded, slowly walked to the knee pad and knelt down, closed his eyes and bowed three times.

The group kneeling behind him, no one knew what the emperor was praying for at this moment, and except for a few harem concubines who followed the emperor, no one dared to raise their heads.

After the three bows were completed, the personal eunuch on the side took three sandalwood sticks from the emperor's hand and respectfully inserted them into the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue.

Seeing the three sticks of sandalwood rising from the Buddha statue, three wisps of light smoke rose from the Buddha's face, and the emperor stretched out his right hand slightly and said to the personal eunuch who came back: "Liufu, go and scatter incense." ”

"The minion will do it."

Seeing Liufu hurriedly leading a group of eunuchs and palace maids away, the princess who followed behind the emperor hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help the emperor up, "Your Majesty, this time you are so sincere, I think the Buddha has a spirit in the sky, and he will definitely be able to feel your heart and protect you and the world." ”

After what happened just now, the emperor's troubled heart has not recovered at the moment, but he just raised his finger and rubbed his forehead, "I hope." ”

The princess, who knows how to observe words and feelings, rolled her eyes slightly, and her hands have fallen on the meridian points on both sides of the emperor very quickly, "The concubine knows that His Majesty loves the people, but he must also ensure that the dragon body is, the concubine got a house to relieve the headache a few days ago, and when she returns to the palace, she will make it for Your Majesty to relieve the headache." ”

The emperor, who had been frowning slightly, gradually loosened his brows under the princess's kneading technique, revealing a little relieved, "You still have a heart, you have also suffered a lot of fright and grievances on this trip, and I will definitely reward you when I return to the palace." ”

When the princess heard this, her eyes lit up suddenly, but she quickly covered up this ambition, and continued to say in a caring tone: "What is Your Majesty talking about, the concubine would rather not have this reward than Your Majesty to suffer such a headache." ”

The coaxed and comfortable emperor opened his eyes and pulled the princess's hand that fell on his hole to his chest, "Today you will accompany me to use vegetarian food and take a sedan back to the palace together." ”

The princess, with a caring face on her face, suddenly stiffened.

The emperor, whose eyes fell on her, could see at a glance that something was wrong with her, and his tone was also quite displeased, "What's the matter?" Is this unwilling? ”

She saw that the emperor was displeased, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and surrendered to the emperor's knees, "Your Majesty loves the concubine so much, and the concubine is too late to be happy, how can she be unwilling, it's just ......"

"Just how?"

"It's just...... Your Majesty travels to incense, take me back to the palace in a sedan chair like this, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate, the sisters in the palace may be able to ......" The latter words, the princess deliberately chose to be silent, what she wanted was to let the emperor guess by himself.

The emperor who fell into this verbal trap was naturally able to guess what would happen if he let the princess get into the sedan chair in front of all the concubines.

Thinking of the dispute between the warblers and Yanyan in the harem, the emperor frowned again and felt a pain, "That's it, lunch is with me." ”

"Yes, the concubine knows." After saying this, the princess stood where she was, and watched as the emperor walked into the house and removed her sandalwood robe, with an eerie look at the corners of her mouth and in the depths of her eyes.

"Hmph, I don't want to ride the same sedan chair with you to die." After whispering this, she also went to another room to change her long skirt and prepare to eat vegetarian food.

Xu is because of what happened before, and in the time after that, everyone seemed extremely silent. Even the harem concubine, who is quite favored on weekdays, at this time, in order to avoid being angered, she directly chose to be silent.

The vegetarian food in the temple has always been earlier than the lunch time of the people or the palace, and the emperor comes to offer incense today.

It is said that in front of the disciples of Buddhism, all beings are equal. But really in the face of absolute power, how can there be absolute equality, in the final analysis, it is the saint who comes to incense today.

It is also for this reason that the vegetarian feast in the temple today is held exceptionally early, and when everyone finishes eating, the sky is still bright.

The emperor standing in front of the temple looked at the gray-robed master who came to see him off, and bowed his hand slightly, "It's really an honor for me to have a Buddhist disciple like Shitai in my court." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi couldn't help but tremble lightly when she held the hand of the dust, and then chuckled and put on that kind and auspicious demeanor, "It is our honor for the donor to come and pray for all beings in person." ”

The bilingual emperor, seeing that the gray-robed master did not hear the other meaning of her words, did not delve into whether he really did not understand, or deliberately did not understand, but only narrowed his eyes slightly, and then turned around.

Liufu, who was following behind, ordered in a shriek: "Swing!" ”

Immediately, the two little eunuchs hurriedly knelt down by the carriage, and waited until Liufu helped the emperor to get into the carriage on the back of the little eunuch, and then he screamed to the guards in front of him again: "Go back to the palace!" ”

Under the order of the Six Blessings, a group of marchers soon moved from the temple to the direction of the imperial city.

The temple is not far from the imperial city, and it is only half an hour when it comes, coupled with the previous events, so that this group of palace servants who are in a hurry can't help but speed up.

"Niangniang, although it's only noon, but the sun is a little strong, can you drink some water?" The princess's personal maid had already presented the water bag in her hand in front of her as she spoke.

At this moment, the princess, who was hiding something in her heart, had just put her hand on the water bag, and suddenly her eyes flashed and turned to the dragon sedan chair not far away, "Go and present the water bag to Your Majesty and see how Your Majesty is doing now." ”

The palace maid who heard the order was slightly stunned, but without thinking too much, she walked in the direction of the emperor with a water bag.

"Liufu father-in-law, the mother is afraid that His Majesty will be thirsty, so she ordered the slave and maid to come and deliver water, I don't know ......"

Liufu, who was outside the carriage, glanced at the princess's carriage when he heard this, and then turned around and asked a few words in the sedan chair, and then took the water bag from the palace maid's hand with a smile, "There is Lao Niangniang who is bothered, our family has taken His Majesty to marry Niangniang's heart." ”

As he spoke, he was about to turn around and put the water bag in his hand, but as soon as he bent down, he suddenly heard a noise in front of him, and then the carriage was beaten, and he almost fell down.

"You minions, how did you hurry! If this frightens Your Majesty, I don't think you will have enough heads...... Oh! ”

Before he could finish speaking, Liufu saw the guards in front of him fighting with a group of fierce men.

"This mountain is Lao Tzu's! I beg you to leave my things behind! ”

The threatened guards, as if they hadn't heard at all, continued to confront them with the swords in their hands.

Hearing that this group of people were bandits, Liufu subconsciously paused behind the coachman, and his hand holding the water bag was also a little shaky, "This, this, this...... Escort! Hurry up and escort! ”

With the screams of Liufu, a group of guards following the carriage ran to the front one after another, firmly surrounding the emperor's carriage in the middle.

The emperor, who was in the carriage himself, also heard the sound of the sword fighting, and immediately came to his senses, "Liufu! ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's minions are here! This...... There's a group of assassins ahead! Liufu, who was a little panicked, hurriedly put his head into the carriage, "The slave will definitely swear to protect Your Majesty!" ”

As he spoke, he snatched a long sword from the guard on the side and held it across his chest, and looked at the chaos in front of him with trembling eyes.

Ever since he knew his whereabouts and was inquired about, he had been putting the sword of self-defense beside him on the way back, and he had already pulled it out and held it tightly in his hand at this moment, just in case.

But this time, in order to keep the travel secret, the emperor did not bring many guards, plus this group of robbers, the kung fu was indeed good, and soon the guards in front of him were beaten by the robbers.

"Brothers! Catch the people in the carriage, and we'll have money! A masked man in a green cloth cloth directly rushed into the encirclement led by the emperor with a long sword, and several other robbers who had escaped also rushed in with the same attack posture.

The guards surrounding the emperor hurriedly surrounded the carriage a little tighter.

The man in green cloth at the leader couldn't help frowning when he saw that there were more people surrounding the carriage than the people who had just been fighting.

I saw that his eyes flashed, and then before everyone could react, he rushed directly to the harem warbler behind him with lightning speed.
