After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 129

The old monk sitting in the main seat of the temple looks to be in his early 80s, with a pale face but good spirits.

The middle-aged man walked to the middle of the hall, knelt down on the ground, and respectfully kowtowed three times to the gray-clothed old monk.

"Get up!"

The old monk opened his mouth, and the middle-aged man stood up.

"Are you Li Jing?"

The middle-aged man replied respectfully: "Yes, I am Li Jing."

The middle-aged man is none other than Sui Lijing, the eldest son of Lord Zhen Guo.

The old monk seemed to recall something, and his expression was a little dazed.

After a while, the old monk said: "Why did you come to see me today?"

Sui Lijing said:

"Originally I didn't dare to disturb you, but You Di was poisoned by the owner Su of Mantuo Villa. This poison can only be cured by the owner Su, but You Di and the owner Su have an enmity, so I want you to give it to Mantuo Villa. Tuo Shanzhuang has a sentence."

The old monk was silent for a while.

Sui Lijing didn't urge him, but just stood still respectfully.

After a long time, the old monk sighed, "Forget it, I started everything, so I made an exception."

The old monk told the abbot who was sitting under him to take the monk: "Smart, go and get the rosewood box from my quiet room."

Master Zhizhi responded and left.

……

The old monk looked at Sui Lijing, "You are [-]% similar to your grandfather when he was young."

"Yes", Sui Lijing replied respectfully: "Everyone says that I am like my grandfather, not like my father."

While chatting, Smart Master came in holding a rosewood box.

The old monk opened the box and took out a bright red token inside.

"Lijing, take this token yourself and go to Mantuo Mountain Villa to ask Su Zhuangzhu. After she reads the token, she will agree to save Youdi."

Sui Lijing took it respectfully and put it away.

The old monk returned Sui Lijing's strange animal pattern to him, and said:

"You go back and give Youdi a word. I was thinking about the previous things. The so-called destiny is just a theory. Now Youyu has managed the world well. Let him stop fighting and be his at ease. King Jing strikes.

And you Zhen Guo Gongfu, don't stick to the rules left by your ancestors, let go if you have to! "

Sui Lijing didn't respond to these words.

Seeing that Sui Lijing didn't answer, the old monk in gray could only heave a long sigh.

"Forget it, I have already become a monk, and I am a member of the Buddhist sect. I should not interfere with the Ning family's affairs or the Sui family's affairs. You can go!"

Sui Lijing kowtowed three more times before getting up to leave.

……

After Sui Lijing left, the gray-clothed old monk said to Master Zhizhi, "I'm going to sit down."

Master Zhizhi recited "Amitabha", and then began to sit cross-legged on the ground and recite sutras.

The old monk in gray also sat cross-legged on the futon, reciting the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra, and went away peacefully...

……

coffin shop

In the evening, Dongfang Yu took advantage of the darkness to come to the coffin shop.

When Ning Youbei saw him, he knew that something must happen, otherwise a steady person like him would not come here easily.

"My lord, one of my juniors heard people say that he saw General Sui near Lingshan Temple, so he rushed there, and it turned out that he really met General Sui there.

However, General Hou Sui was coming out of Lingshan Temple when we met, so I don't know what he was going to do in Lingshan Temple.

Junior Brother followed General Sui from a distance, but saw that he was leaving Huai City, but he was not going in the direction of Jing City, that road could lead to Yu Capital.

The younger brother didn't dare to follow alone, he hurried back to deliver the letter, and asked if he wanted to continue to follow? "

Ning Youbei just wanted to find out why Sui Lijing came to Huaicheng?What is his purpose in coming to Huai City?If he goes to Yudu, then let Brother Huang investigate.

"You don't need to follow, you don't need to worry about Sui Lijing's affairs, I have other things to arrange for you."

……

After Dongfang Yu left, Ning Youbei first wrote a secret letter to the emperor, telling about Sui Lijing's matter.Then he said to Qu Chu: "Ah Chu, accompany me to Lingshan Temple tomorrow."

……

Lingshan Temple Dharma Hall

The Dharma hall is located behind the Daxiong Hall. It is a place for lectures on Buddhism and precepts, and it is usually used for Buddhist events.

There was no Dharma lectures or Buddhist events in the Dharma hall today, but two benefactors were welcomed.

One is wearing a veiled hat, so you can't see his face clearly, but his whole body looks like a prince or nobleman;

The man in the veiled hat said to the great monk in the Dharma hall: "I want to see your abbot, you go and tell him that I come from Yudu, and my surname is Ning."

The great monk said: "Benefactor, the abbot has something to do, so he doesn't see any outsiders."

The man in the veiled hat took out a sign from his body, and flashed it in front of the eyes of the great monk of Fatang, "Can you see it clearly?"

The great monk hurriedly saluted with palms together, "Amitabha, I will call the abbot right now."

The person wearing the veiled hat was Ning Youbei, and the stern-looking person beside him was naturally Qu Chu.

The one that the monk showed just now was the sign that read "As I am here in person".

……

Not long after, Master Abbot Zhizhi walked in quickly.

"I have seen the donor."

Ning Youbei took off the hood on his head, "Master is well."

The sudden appearance of prosperity made the master Zhizhi, who is profound in Zen, blink his eyes, but he reacted quickly.

"I don't know how to call the benefactor?"

Ning Youbei said: "I am King Ning Youbei of Chu."

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Chu, sorry for your impoliteness."

Ning Youbei didn't want to go around in circles with Master Zhizhi, and asked directly: "The king came here to ask the master, what is the matter of Sui Lijing, the son of Duke Zhen Guo, coming to Lingshan Temple?"

"Amitabha", Master Zhizhi said, "The son of Duke Zhenguo came to Lingshan Temple to meet someone."

Ning Youbei said: "Who are you seeing?"

"His Royal Highness, please follow me to a place."

Master Zhizhi took Ning Youbei and the two to the temple on the back mountain of Lingshan Temple, found a box and handed it to Ning Youbei.

"This is what the man asked me to give you."

Ning Youbei took it, but didn't rush to open it, and asked, "Is this given to me by name?"

"That's not true," Master Zhizhi said, "That person left a message, if the emperor or the King of Chu come to Lingshan Temple within a year, I will let the old monk give it to him. I didn't expect you to come so fast, my lord."

Ning Youbei said: "Have you seen me? Are you afraid that I am not the king of Chu, but someone who lied to you?"

"Amitabha, I have seen portraits of the emperor and several princes, but I didn't expect that the prince's demeanor is far better than the portraits."

Only then did Ning Youbei open the box, and inside was a letter and a jade plaque with the pattern of a strange beast.

Ning Youbei opened the letter and was silent for a long time after reading it.

Seeing Ning Youbei's expression, Qu Chu took the letter and read it.

The letter read: "When I saw this letter, I was no longer here..."

After reading it, Qu Chu thought:

Unexpectedly, there is such an old emperor alive in the Ning family, and he has hidden it from the emperor and Ning Youbei.And the Ning family still has such a secret.
