I don't want to be king

Chapter 424
After all, today is different from the past.

In the past, although I didn't like Concubine Yuan Gui to know about things with the prince, the purpose of hiding it was to prevent Concubine Yuan Gui from worrying.

But now the purpose of keeping Concubine Yuan Gui from knowing is to guard against Concubine Yuan Gui.

He himself couldn't understand why Concubine Yuan Gui and Prince He came to this point.

They are mother and son!

Don't say that the mother is kind and the son is filial, so there is no need to be so stiff, right?

If she couldn't figure it out, Xiao Xizi didn't think too much about it.

He couldn't interfere with the matter of the mother and son, and he didn't dare to intervene, so he could only try to find a balance between the two. Although he stood on the side of the prince without hesitation, he couldn't let Concubine Yuan Gui find something to talk about. .

After all, no matter what, as long as the imperial concubine asks, neither the prince nor the prince will slap the imperial concubine's face in public and slap dozens of slaps on her. Anyway, she will not die!

My own kung fu is not bad, but if it is a master execution, with dozens of boards down, I will lose my skin even if I don't die.

So, unless you have to, you can't offend the imperial concubine.

He must always prove to Concubine Yuan Gui that he has always been the most "loyal" servant around Concubine Yuan Gui.

"You dog slave,"

Concubine Yuan Gui said coldly, "I don't care about you, but you will fool me more and more."

"Don't dare,"

Xiao Xizi said cautiously, "Your Majesty, you forgot?
This Liu Chaoyuan is a great master, if he wants to leave the palace, no one dares to stop him, and no one can stop him. "

Besides, it is not clear when this guy ran away!
Otherwise, if you meet a blind man or a monk, no matter who makes the move, this Liu Chaoyuan will never leave Ankang City!
"Humph,"

Concubine Yuan Gui snorted again, although she disdained Xiao Xizi, she still approved, "Liu Chaoyuan is indeed a great master, if he wants to leave the palace, you really have no ability to stop him.

And, since he wants to hide, you have no hope of finding him. "

In her cognition, there is no one more powerful than the grand master.

Therefore, she no longer suspects that Xiao Xizi is lying.

"Your Majesty is wise,"

Xiao Xizi laughed and said, "As soon as I hear about him, I will report it to my mother immediately."

Concubine Yuan Gui gave him a disgusted look and said, "Okay, get out."

"Yes."

After Xiao Xizi slowly exited the house, she strode out of the yard.

When He Lian saw him coming out of Jinglan Palace, he hurried up to meet him and said, "Elder-in-law, what does this empress mean?"

Xiao Xizi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what your empress means.

The concubine's labor is a major event, we have no control in the palace, but this mistake cannot come from the palace.

If you arrange good people, you must keep an eye on this Jinglan Palace. Even if a mosquito flies out, you have to find out whether it is a male or a female. "

He was really afraid that if this empress couldn't think about it for a while, it would be bad for the princess!
He Lian hurriedly said, "As ordered."

Xiao Xizi frowned and said, "Physician Han prescribed medicine for the Holy One at night?"

He Lian said, "I would like to tell my father-in-law that the prescription is so small that I asked someone to read it. It is all calming and calming, and there is nothing wrong with it."

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Elder-in-law, this Han Yong dares to be disrespectful to you, why don't you kill his whole family just to make an example of you?"

"You bastard, you can come up with ideas blindly,"

Xiao Xizi said lightly, "I told my lord that there are three things not to laugh at in life: don't laugh at natural disasters, don't laugh at man-made disasters, and don't laugh at diseases.

There are three things not to kill, do you know what they are? "

He Lian thought for a while and then said, "I'm so dull, I hope my father-in-law will enlighten me."

Xiao Xizi said expressionlessly, "A teacher who educates people, a doctor who saves people, and an army who protects the country cannot be easily killed."

He Lian said flatteringly, "My father-in-law is merciful and has the virtue of living a good life."

"Humph,"

Xiao Xizi sighed, "It's the lord who is merciful, what does it have to do with our family, whoever the lord wants to die must die, and if the lord doesn't want anyone to die, he can't die casually. no."

Xiao Xizi's words were confusing, but He Lian still understood, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, the little ones must be handled with care."

"rest assured?"

Xiao Xizi snorted coldly and said, "It's troublesome time ahead, if you let go of your heart, it means you let go of your head, do you understand?"

"Yes,"

He Lian nodded like a little chicken pecking rice, "I dare not relax for a moment."

Xiao Xizi said, "That's good."

While speaking, his eyes drifted to the sun that was already hanging on the city wall.

It's getting hotter and hotter.

The monk sat cross-legged in the yard, and Xie Xiaoqing, who was on the side, put two steamed buns in front of the monk, and said with a smile, "Eat something, you have been sitting all night."

The monk opened his eyes, glanced at the steamed buns on the plate, and said guiltily, "Thank you."

"Although you and I don't have the name of husband and wife, we already have the reality of husband and wife,"

Xie Xiaoqing touched her gradually swollen belly, and then said, "Why bother to say such polite words, it seems to be too much."

"Amitabha, the little monk will give the girl an explanation,"

The monk lowered his head and tore the steamed buns while whispering, "I will definitely not let the girl be wronged."

Xie Xiaoqing was about to speak when she suddenly raised her head to look at the sky, frowned and said, "Not good."

The monk asked in confusion, "It's just a group of big birds, why is the girl so flustered?"

"It's a vulture,"

Xie Xiaoqing said nervously, "This kind of bird has always only appeared in the South Valley, and occasionally one or two will appear in the Northland. It is already rare, let alone such a large group."

The monk smiled and said, "I really don't understand what the girl means, so I asked the girl to clarify."

"Nangu people believe in the karma of life and death. They eat meat alive and believe that they must give their flesh after death,"

Xie Xiaoqing looked at the big birds flying over the sky from time to time, and said in a low voice, "After they die, they will neither be buried nor cremated, and their families will feed their bodies to vultures, leaving only a skull. "

"Feed the vulture?"

The monk has also seen and heard a lot, but he can't help but feel horrified when he hears that people feed vultures after death.

"That's right. Human bones are very hard. Vultures can't eat them directly. Humans need to chop them up,"

Speaking of this, under the sun, Xie Xiaoqing couldn't help shivering, "This kind of person is called a sky burial master."

"A celestial burial master?"

The monk chewed the steamed buns and said, "How is their kung fu?"

Xie Xiaoqing shook his head and said, "The celestial burial masters are the lowest in Nangu's rank. Their skills are not high, and they are even worse than dogs. Ordinary porters can beat and scold them when they face them."

The monk said, "In that case, why are you so flustered?"

Xie Xiaoqing glanced at the monk who had never changed his face, and said bitterly, "Aside from delivering funerals, celestial burial masters also have another role to use vultures to deliver news.

Although their status is low, there are not many people who can make them willingly obey.

Presumably, the person who came to the North this time should be someone like the king of France. "

"Falun King?"

The monk pondered for a while, "Who can compete with the masters of Jizhao Temple?"

Xie Xiaoqing nodded and said, "They are the lords in the hearts of Nangu people, the gods on Tuigu Mountain, only they are worthy of cremation, there is no need for sky burial."

The monk said to himself, "Why did they come to Ankang City?
You're pretty fast, come in. "

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the blind man who suddenly appeared in the yard.

The blind man knocked twice in the yard with a bamboo knot in his hand and said, "If Miss Xie hadn't explained the confusion, I would still be at a loss. It turns out that this group of big birds was ordered by someone."

Xie Xiaoqing said politely, "The Taoist priest is polite."

She was not afraid of blind people before, but since she was pregnant, every time she saw a blind man, she couldn't control her fear.

Why are you afraid?
She couldn't tell herself.

"Tuigu Temple, I have heard its name for a long time,"

The blind man smiled and said, "I would like to go to the meeting for a while, monk, you should report to the prince."

The monk said, "Then you go ahead, and I'll be there soon."

"Come quickly, or I will be beaten to death, and you won't be able to see me."

The blind man finished speaking with a smile, and disappeared before the monk's eyes without waiting for the monk to reply.

The monk looked at Xie Xiaoqing, who was in a daze, and said with palms together, "You rest at home, don't run around, I will come as soon as I go."

Xie Xiaoqing said softly, "Then be careful."

The monk smiled and said yes.

Lin Yi got up late, and by the time he had breakfast, the sun was already high, and his plan to go fishing fell through.

Lying in the garden, yawning while listening to the monk's report, he said after a while, "The Dharma King of Tuigu Temple, he has such a great reputation, didn't it mean that they went to trouble Jizhao Temple?
How did you come to Ankang City? "

The monk clasped his hands together and shook his head, "I don't know."

"Xie Xiaoqing is pregnant?"

Lin Yi turned to ask.

"Little monk."

The monk couldn't keep up with Lin Yi's brain circuit. He didn't expect this question to pop up suddenly, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "A man, you have to admit it when you do it, don't hesitate, it's your child, you have to bear your own responsibilities, you have no parents since you were young.

Don't let your children lose their father and continue to follow your old path. "

The monk said emotionally, "Young monk understands."

Lin Yi nodded, and then continued, "Since Xie Xiaoqing said that they are people from the Tuigu Temple, they are probably not wrong, go and help the blind man, if you can stay, stay, if you can't, don't force it. "

Suddenly, there was a burst of birdsong above the Wangfu.

The monk suddenly raised his head, and the big bird that swooped down from the midair uttered a shrill cry and landed directly outside the wall of Hewang Mansion.

"Protect the king!"

The shouts of the palace guards and the palace guards rose and fell with each other.

"My lord."

Ye Qiu appeared directly behind Lin Yi.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Looking at this, did those Nangu people appear directly at the gate of this king's palace?"

"My lord is wise."

Ye Qiu lowered his head and wiped the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth with his hands.

"You are hurt?"

Lin Yi turned his head and saw the bright red blood stains on Ye Qiu's hands and was startled.

"Don't be discouraged, you're only so old, you won't be wronged if you lose to him,"

Wen Zhaoyi's figure slowly came out from behind a rockery under the gaze of everyone, looked at Ye Qiu who kept his head down, and said, "I have known the name of Ding Lun, the king of Tuigu Temple, in Nangu for a long time. His kung fu is so high, if you don't guess wrong, his kung fu is not inferior to Jing Yi, and it is normal for you to lose to him."

Ye Qiu said dejectedly, "Wen Zhaoyi is right. The person who came here really claimed to be Ding Lun. He is the Dharma King of Tuigu Temple. He has great skills. I haven't survived a single move in his hands."

"Such dishes?"

Lin Yi was very surprised.

After all, Ye Qiu is also a great master, right?

How could the gap between a Grand Master and a Grand Master be greater than the gap between a human and a dog?
"Subordinates are convicted."

Ye Qiu knelt on the ground with a puff, and said nothing more.

Lin Yi continued, "Did the so-called Dharma King say what he came to Daliang Kingdom for?"

Ye Qiu said, "I'm here to meet the lord, are you submitting the credentials of King Nangu?"

"The barbarian king?"

Lin Yi snorted coldly, "They deserve it too?
This king has always pursued peaceful coexistence, but this way of his appearance, I don't like it, directly appearing in Daliang Kingdom without going through the Ministry of Rites, and appearing at the gate of this king's mansion is a provocation to this king.

Who is used to their problems? "

"Amitabha,"

The monk clasped his palms together again, "I'll go meet him now, my lord, don't worry, I won't teach him to step into the palace."

Lin Yi said indifferently, "Don't force anything. If you can't do it, use the cannon. Even if the house is destroyed, I have to let them go and never return. I have to let them understand that they can't be too arrogant."

"Yes."

This time it was Jiao Zhong who was standing next to Lin Yi who answered the question.

He held the handle of the knife more nervously than anyone else.

As the commander of the palace guards, his role is to coordinate more often.

It is the great master of Hewangfu who can really make everyone feel at ease!
He didn't know what Tuigu Temple was or what was Dharma Protector, but both Wen Zhaoyi and the monk looked serious, and Ye Qiu was even more injured.

It can be seen that the incoming enemy is very difficult to deal with!

An enemy that even the grand master finds troublesome, what can he, a guard commander who is not yet at the ninth rank, do?
He is afraid!

He is not afraid of death!

But he was afraid that if he died, no one would be able to protect him and the prince!

If only the steward was here!

In his impression, the steward has always been omnipotent.

As long as the manager is here, they will have peace of mind.

For the first time in his life, he missed someone so much.

The monk at the gate of Hewang Mansion stared carefully at the man in the gray gown standing in front of him, but he couldn't tell the exact age.

What surprised him was that his eyes were blue, and a big man with a face like a girl's was actually flushed.

It really is a big world, full of wonders.

A group of people were also standing beside the men, all of them were disheveled, ragged, with their heads bowed, unable to see the specific appearance.

Surrounding them are guards of the palace holding longbows, broadswords, and spears, officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, and fast arresters.

Water is tight on all sides.

The monk said to the blind man who was leaning on a bamboo joint to support his body, "Are you injured too?"

The blind man said calmly, "I can't die."

The monk pushed his palm on the blind man's back, waited for a faint smoke to appear on his back, then closed his palms together, looked at the man opposite and said, "Little monk Jihai has seen the master."

"Old man Ding Lun,"

The man who called himself Ding Lun looked at the monk without blinking his eyes, and said in unprofessional official language, "I want to meet the regent of the Liang Kingdom, please pass it on for me."
