Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 196 Contest (2)
Xie Fanghua was annoyed in her heart, and she hid several times in a row until he stopped beating her, so she could barely stand firm.

Li Muqing weighed the remaining two soil clods in his hands, and continued to mouth her, "If you don't help me get there, I won't let you leave the city. If we keep fighting like this, people will find out sooner or later. "

Xie Fanghua looked at her without saying a word.

"You can think about it. If the soldiers guarding the city are awakened, I don't care. It's up to you whether you can walk away. Even if you can walk away, on a day like today, if a big event like crossing the city wall happens, the emperor will I won’t let you go easily, and I will arrest you all the way.” Li Muqing said every word, “Will you catch me by the rope and help me out of the city, or should the emperor send people to arrest you throughout the city? You choose yourself!”

Xie Fanghua frowned. On such a day, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion must have the same fun as the Zhongyonghou Mansion. What does Li Muqing want to go out of the city alone?
"Hurry up! Some of them are going to lose everything." Li Muqing urged her.

Xie Fanghua ground her teeth, stood in the shadows, and threw the rope in her hand towards Li Muqing.

Li Muqing reached out to take the rope, and smiled silently at her, "Thank you!"

Xie Fanghua looked at him, watching how he, the frail son of the right minister's mansion, climbed the city wall.He must be able to hit people with hidden weapons, and things like climbing city walls won't bother him.

Sure enough, after taking the rope, Li Muqing glanced at it, and came to the city wall with a few shallow steps. Then, he flicked the rope upwards. It didn't take much force, but the hook of the rope was firmly hung on the city wall. On the battlements, he leaped lightly a few times, and then climbed onto the city wall.

Xie Fanghua saw that he climbed up the city wall easily, thinking that he was right, the son of the right minister's mansion is both civil and military, not an easy one.She didn't speak to him, she immediately put away the rope, turned around and threw it out, the hook hooked on the half wall of the city wall on the other side, and she jumped down lightly.

Just as she raised her feet and jumped down, someone grabbed her arm suddenly, she turned her head, and Li Muqing jumped down after her.

Xie Fanghua cursed inwardly, she couldn't make any noise and could only let him jump down with her.

After a few moments, the two of them were already standing outside the city wall.

Xie Fanghua retracted the rope, and Li Muqing let go of her arm automatically.

Xie Fanghua walked away without even looking at him.

Li Muqing followed behind her, step by step.

Not long after, the two of them left the area under the jurisdiction of the city wall, and faintly heard soldiers shouting at the city gate, "I lost everything, stop playing, let's go! Hey, wake up, wake up, it's a day like this How can the mouth sleep like a dead pig."

Li Muqing suddenly chuckled.

Xie Fanghua frowned, and walked forward for a while. After passing the three forks, Li Muqing was still following her. She stopped and turned to look at him.

"Ms. Tingyin!" Li Muqing cupped his hands at her, "Thank you just now, I have offended you so much, I hope you will forgive me!"

Xie Fanghua squeezed her fingers together and squinted her eyes. It is not surprising that Li Muqing recognized her. After all, he just knocked off her face scarf at that moment. This person is smart and has keen eyes and ears. He may have seen her at that moment appearance.

"Ms. Tingyin can actually talk, right?" Li Muqing looked at her narrowed eyes and smiled gently.

Xie Fanghua's brows twitched, and she suddenly smiled, "Mr. Li doesn't stay in the mansion late at night, is there something for you to go out of the city?"

"Although the voice is not pleasant, it's good enough to be able to speak." Li Muqing smiled, "To tell the truth, my mother suffered from a headache, so I went out of the city to Fafo Temple to ask Master Puyun for a blessing and the first cup of Holy Grail in the early morning. Take the spring water back to her."

Xie Fanghua sneered, "Mr. Li believes in gods, Buddhas and ghosts?"

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, my mother's belief is enough!" Li Muqing smiled.

"If you hadn't met me, how would Mr. Li plan to leave the city?" Xie Fanghua looked at him, looking at the splendid gown he wore as usual, "I am afraid that as the son of the right minister's mansion, you don't have to climb over the city wall. It's easy for the person at the door to say, right? Why is it so difficult for me to leave the city in such a sneaky way?"

Li Muqing smiled casually, his eyes flickered, "I haven't tried this way of getting out of the city yet, and I think it's very interesting. I'll trouble Tingyin girl."

Xie Fanghua glanced at him, turned around, and continued to walk forward without speaking.

"As far as I know, if you set foot on this road, there will be no other way to go. Is Tingyin girl also going to Fafo Temple?" Li Muqing followed her and asked.

Xie Fanghua gave a "hmm".

"Brother Qin Zheng, does he know that you went out of the city alone?" Li Muqing asked, looking at her back.

Xie Fanghua lowered her eyelashes, not answering his words.

Li Muqing waited for a while, but didn't wait for her answer. Knowing that she was not going to answer, he twitched the corners of his mouth and stopped asking.

Because for hundreds of years, the emperors in power in the Southern Qin Dynasty all admired Buddhism and Taoism, so the temples and Taoist temples were very popular.The Fafo Temple is close to the largest temple in the capital, and because the former abbot of the Fafo Temple, Master Puyun, has profound Buddhist teachings and is extremely accurate in divination, the Fafo Temple is even more respected by the world.On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, pilgrims going to the Fafo Temple to offer incense are often crowded. On ordinary days, there is an endless stream of pilgrims and the incense is also uninterrupted.

Therefore, although the road to Fafo Temple is a mountain road, it is well repaired and paved with stone slabs, so it is not difficult to walk.

Xie Fanghua and Li Muqing stopped talking, the road was silent, and their footsteps stepped on the stone pavement, making a very shallow sound.

There is no moonlight tonight, but the weather is excellent, and there are sporadic stars that are not covered by clouds and mist, emitting subtle light.

After walking for about half an hour, there was a faint sound of horseshoes behind him, and Xie Fanghua stopped abruptly.

Li Muqing also stopped, listened for a moment, took a step forward, suddenly stretched out his hand to clasp Xie Fanghua's wrist through his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Let's hide, it's officers and soldiers!"

Xie Fanghua turned her head and glanced. She also heard the sound of such a uniform cavalry, which proved that the soles of the horses' hooves were all ordered, and the soles of the feet were made of pure gold. Except for officers and soldiers, no guards of the mansion would order gold soles like this.So she nodded.

Li Muqing looked around, and dragged her to hide in the bushes not far from the road.

Not long after, a group of cavalry with a hundred men came to the front, and the two immediately held their breaths. The first of the pair was covered with a veil, and did not see his appearance. A group of people galloped past.

The sound of horseshoes went away, and the two came out from the bushes.

Xie Fanghua watched the sound of horseshoes receding in front of her, thoughtfully.
