After Su Rong and Ye Guixue finished their breakfast, they made an appointment to see the divine locust tree in the Great Buddha Temple together.
Sacred locust tree is as thick as several people hug. In early winter, there are sparse leaves hanging on the tree, and the branches are luxuriant. Countless red silk ribbons are tied on each branch.
Su Rong looked up, some of the red silk had words written on it, some had no writing on it, there was only a piece of red cloth, some of the red silk had been eroded and turned white by the wind and rain, and some of it was newly tied, it looked like it was only a few days old. Most of the writing is for marriage, with pairs of people's names written on them, and a few of them are written with words of blessing, such as long life, peace every year, many children and many blessings.
She tilted her head and asked Ye Guixue, "Are you asking for a blessing?"
When she was in Fenghuang Mountain in Jiangning County, she took Zhou Gu to climb Fenghuang Mountain and arrived at the gate of Yuelao Temple. At that time, she heard Zhou Gu say that his grandmother and mother were both well-behaved people, and asked her if she could marry him.
Passing the old temple of the moon, but not seeking marriage. Maybe at that time, it was destined that she and him would take the step of annulling the engagement.
Ye Guixue smiled, "Guixue wants to ask, where is Xiaoqi?"
Since meeting at Duke Cheng's mansion that day, he has always listened to her, calling her Xiaoqi, and rarely addressing her as Wang Nu. It is the same today. What he asked was Xiao Qi, not Wang Daughter.
Su Rong bent her lips, "Think about it."
Ye Guixue turned around, asked the little novice to get two red silks without words, handed one to Su Rong, and held the other in her hand, and asked softly, "Do you want to write?"
"It's too eye-catching to write our names." Su Rong smiled, "Just write a hundred years together, and how about tying them together?"
Ye Guixue smiled and nodded, "Okay."
There was a stone table under the tree, with pens and ink on it, Ye Guixue took up the pen and wrote the words "Hundred Years of Love" on the red silk in her hand, then thought about it, and sketched a hibiscus flower underneath, then put down the pen, and turned her head to look at Su Rong.
Su Rong pursed her lips and smiled, walked forward, picked up a pen as well, and wrote the words "Hundred Years of Harmony" on the red silk in her hand, and then imitated Ye Guixue at the bottom, and drew a red plum tree.
He compares Furong to her, so she will return Hongmei.
Ye Guixue stared at Su Rong with tender eyes, "Shall I hang it up?"
"Let's go to the highest place together." Su Rong put down her pen, handed her own to Ye Guixue, took his in her own hand, raised her head and pointed at the top of Shenhuai tree, "There is the treetop."
"Okay." Ye Guixue nodded with a smile.
Thus, the two climbed up the tree together, one occupied one side, and with both hands, protecting and cooperating, they tied the red silk together and tied it to the branch.
Su Rong leaned on the tree trunk and watched, the tied red silk was fluttering in the wind, hibiscus flowers and plum blossoms were intertwined, her eyes drifted away for a moment, she settled down, and looked at Ye Guixue.
Ye Guixue also looked at the tied red silk with warm eyes, seeing Su Rong looking at him, she smiled at her.
Su Rong only felt that this smile was shining brightly. Her mind was shaken for a moment, and she smiled slowly, "Let's go, let's go to the stream in the back mountain to catch fish and eat grilled fish. Anyway, in the land of Buddhism, there are people who have committed killing. It's not bad for us to have a meal of grilled fish."
Ye Guixue laughed, "Okay."
The two got off the tree together and walked towards the back mountain.
Feng Ling ran back and forth for hundreds of miles, and was exhausted. After returning to the Great Buddha Temple, she learned that the two had gone to the back mountain, so she went to the back mountain.
At the foot of the back mountain, I saw the two people squatting together, grilling fish, and the smell of sizzling came out, and it smelled very delicious.
Feng Ling sniffed, "Sister, you guys are secretly grilling fish? Who said yesterday that in the land of Buddhism, killing is not allowed?"
Feng Ling is indeed the best at cooking. He always strives to be the best at cooking. He immediately took over the work in hand from Su Rong and asked Ye Guixue, "Did Second Master Ye never do such a thing?"
Ye Guixue really didn’t have one. He had never tried roasting things in the mountains since he was a child, so he could only stand aside, picking up branches for Su Rong and helping Su Rong.
Feng Ling chuckled, "You don't think my sister is rough?"
Ye Guixue shook her head, "Xiao Qi is very good, and brought me to experience a lot of fun that I have never experienced before."
Feng Ling praised him, "Second Master Ye, you really can talk and you have a good temper."
It's true that people compare themselves to others, and they are superior and inferior, discussing women's favor. The young master Zhou who just met his master at the beginning is far behind. Although his eyes are not so high, he is still too proud. And Second Young Master Ye, everything is appropriate, and will not make the master feel uncomfortable at all, it is really pleasing.
Ye Guixue smiled.
Feng Ling fiddled with the grilled fish, and said to Su Rong: "Sister, these two fish are not for me. You have worked so hard, go catch another one for me!"
Su Rong thought that he came back quickly and was very lucky, so she took a branch, went to the stream again, guarded a fish for him and came back.
Feng Ling was happy, "Sister, you are really neat in catching fish." He remembered something, and suddenly said: "At the beginning, someone searched for a fisherwoman in Jiangning County, and almost searched the entire Jiangning County, but I couldn't find it. What people are looking for is at a loss, but they don't know that you are by his side."
He smiled "ha", overjoyed, "It's really dark under the lights."
Su Rong suspected that he didn't learn the essay well. Is this how to use the black under the lamp? He gave Feng Ling a blank look, but didn't speak.
Feng Ling chuckled, "Why didn't you show your dagger at the beginning? I watched it from behind, and I thought it was really...well hidden."
Su Rong is a very cautious person, "The man I rescued had a Beijing accent. To be able to carry such a dagger that cuts iron like mud on his body must be either rich or expensive. Being hunted down by someone, his identity must not be simple. Zhou Gu is from the capital. I was stupid, so I just asked for trouble by showing that dagger in front of him?"
At that time, she and Zhou Gu were not familiar with each other, so one thing more is worse than one thing less.
Feng Ling sighed, "Why don't you say you are amazing!"
Referring to Zhou Gu, he got to the point, "Sister, this time you guessed it right. After I chased for fifty miles, I saw a large number of killers besieging and killing Young Master Zhou. He was seriously injured and his strength was exhausted. I don't know how long he had been fighting. Anyway, it was very dangerous at that time, and even I was terrified. Fortunately, I went there in time. Otherwise, even if I went a few hours later, he would have died."
Su Rong had expected it a long time ago, so he was not surprised to hear his confirmation. He just asked, "How about the casualties?"
"Seven of the imperial guards died, and five of the Jingwei from the Protectorate's Mansion died." Feng Ling sighed, "There were only about 20 of them in a group, and there were hundreds of killers who surrounded Young Master Zhou to kill him. Obviously, they wanted to kill him and everyone in He Zheng. Of course, the most obvious thing was to kill him, after all, those people were deadly."
Su Rong nodded, "Didn't the Prince's people greet you?"
"After I arrived with my men, I killed all the dead soldiers, and the prince's men also arrived. It is said that a small number of killers blocked the way on the way, intending to delay the rescue." Feng Ling said: "Mr. Zhou received a sword wound on his right arm and back. The wounds are deep, but there should be no danger of his life. No serious injuries. When the people from the East Palace arrive, I will hand them over to them and bring them back."
He thought for a while, and then said, "I found a comb from the dead man. That comb is very different, very exquisite, with peach blossoms carved on it, like something from the palace. I handed it to Young Master Zhou and put it away."
Su Rong said "hmm", "Just save the person."
She looked at Ye Guixue, "I'm afraid someone will come to the Great Buddha Temple to check again."
Ye Guixue nodded, "Now that the case has come to this day, there are actually a large number of killers. Master Zhou will definitely not hide it, and will report the truth to His Majesty Daliang. His Majesty Daliang is determined not to allow such a large number of dead men to appear within a hundred miles of the capital, and still want Master Zhou's life. It will definitely be noticed."
Su Rong nodded. Although His Majesty is jealous of the Huguo Palace, he absolutely cannot allow someone to kill Zhou Gu. If Zhou Gu is killed, it will blow up the Huguo Palace. She said: "In this case, let's stay for a few more days! Let's see who is here to investigate the case, and also follow along to investigate, to see what other dirty places are in the Great Buddha Temple."
Ye Guixue also had the same intention, "Okay."
