Chapter 299
Everyone had already retreated, and the emperor did not leave anyone to lead Wen Yao and Mo Dongliu. The major matter had been completed, and Wen Yao got up and was about to leave.
A figure blocked the exit, and Mo Linfeng called Wen Yao in a wheelchair: "Yaoer, wait first, I have something to say to you."
Wen Yao walked straight over and stood beside Mo Linfeng.
"What's the matter?"
Wen Yao's eyes flashed. Mo Linfeng must have received the news from what she said just now. Mo Linfeng is also a prince and can also participate in the battle for the throne. If this makes him lose his chance, I don't know what he will do.
Think about it.
It is difficult for Wen Yao to truly trust a person, and there is a little more vigilance within all his eyebrows.
"It was just now that I was training horses. I just walked from the stables in the backyard and heard that someone had drugged the two horses. Are you okay?"
Wen Yao smiled and said, "It's okay, I already know this, but I can't hurt me just because of this."
Mo Linfeng frowned slightly, and when he heard Wen Yao say this, he didn't relax and said: "It took you an hour to train a horse."
Wen Yao was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Mo Linfeng did not answer, but said with a serious look: "Just just now, I got the news that Liu Ting, the leader of the Thunder Army, had left the city with a group of people, and didn't know what to do."
The color in Wen Yao's eyes was slightly cold: "Impossible, Liu Ting would not do this without my order."
Mo Linfeng raised his head: "How did you know if it wasn't?"
She suddenly thought of something and touched her waist with one hand.
"Oh no, it seems we've really been trapped."
She was wearing a dress that had just changed to ride not long ago. This outfit was simple and light, and she could use all her strength when training horses. Of course, she could not wear a skirt to play.
After she changed her clothes, she only looked at the things on her body, but she didn't expect that the token in her hand would be dropped.
This token was the same as hers, originally a token for dispatching the army. As expected, the old emperor had already planned to delay time.
She really admires the old ginger.
Wen Yao thought of this, she walked out without hesitation. Mo Linfeng shouted: "It's been so long, and you may fall into a trap when you leave the city alone. Why don't I arrange a few subordinates for you at any time
Keep your safety.”
Wen Yao shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, brother, it's enough to have the national teacher here."
Mo Linfeng frowned. He could feel that Wen Yao trusted the national teacher very much.
The father-son relationship he mentioned before was nonsense. As the number one beauty of that year, Xia Lanshan would not really be with a man who was decades older than him. It was not that he looked down on the national teacher, but that he felt that the national was not as good as the national teacher.
The teacher would not be such a person.
But if there was no blood and family affection, why would these two people who had never met several times be so close? Moreover, he vaguely saw a hint of unusualness from Wen Yao's eyes.
It is very likely... this national teacher is fake.
Mo Linfeng lowered his head and leaned on the chair and pondered. The little boy on the cart beside him lowered his voice and asked: "Your Highness, where are we going?"
Mo Linfeng rubbed his forehead and his face became paler. He sighed helplessly and said, "That national teacher, my style of conduct makes me familiar with it. I always feel like I have seen it somewhere."
"The national master stays in Xixia all year round, your highness is overly worried."
Mo Linfeng smiled faintly: "Well, it's better that I'm thinking too much."
Wen Yao and Mo Dongliu left the imperial city and headed straight for the farmhouses stationed. She found someone to inquire, and then she realized that more than one hour ago, all the people who stayed here had left. Look
He looked hurried, as if he was very anxious.
Mo Dongliu said calmly: "Yao'er, the Thunder Army with more than a thousand will not have any trouble so easily. Ask along the way, you should know where they went soon."
"Um."
There were so many people, Wen Yao asked and chased after Mo Dongliu, riding a horse out of the imperial city, but outside the imperial city was surrounded by mountains and forests, even if he walked through thousands of troops, he could not see it at all.
She found out from the teahouse at Linzikou outside the city that Liu Ting and others went directly into Yuliang Mountain dozens of miles away. The more famous place on this mountain was a Liangshan Temple.
Stopped off his horse, Wen Yao looked at the pedestrians walking everywhere outside Liangshan Temple, and stepped up the steps with Mo Dongliu. There was only one way to enter the mountain. If Liu Ting and others entered, they could only walk here.
Several young monks stood beside him to clean up, and Mo Dongliu grabbed the man's collar and asked, "Does thousands of troops have come here?"
The little monk was frightened and trembled all over and nodded quickly: "Look... I saw that they trespassed into the temple and fought with the monks in the temple."
"Why fight?"
"They said they came on order and said that we had captured some princess."
Wen Yao raised his brow and turned his head to look at Mo Dongliu.
Mo Dongliu said: "No wonder Liu Ting and others are so anxious."
"What about them now?"
The little monk shook his head frequently and could not ask a word again. Wen Yao and Mo Dongliu threw the man and broke into it again. Mo Dongliu grabbed Wen Yao and took her to use her light skills all the way up.
Some monks immediately chased after him, but Mo Dongliu's opponent was not there, and he threw away all his tails in a moment.
This Liangshan Temple is extremely large, and basically half of the mountain is their courtyard, and it is a temple of old age.
Even during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, the Queen Mother and others would come here to pray for blessings and burn incense. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a royal family behind the back.
Wen Yao walked through several courtyards, but he did not see a Thunder Army. However, a room hidden in many monasteries attracted Wen Yao's attention.
"Dongliu, wait a moment."
She grabbed Mo Dongliu's wrist and her eyes fell on the window of the courtyard. The figures inside swayed with the candlelight, and two shadows appeared.
Mo Dongliu didn't say anything, and pulled Wen Yao to hide in a safe place in the corner of the wall. The two of them were approaching in a hidden breath and heard the small talk inside.
"The emperor is indeed a master of tricks. In this way, she will be isolated and helpless in this capital."
"This time the emperor asked the old slave to see the abbot just to spread the message. Although he temporarily trapped the Thunder Army, he should not be careless. The national teacher beside her should not be underestimated."
Eunuch Liu?
The old man who spoke with a sharp voice was obviously Eunuch Liu whom he saw during the day. Wen Yao narrowed his eyes, with a hint of anger hidden in his eyes.
Sure enough, the words the old emperor said were deliberately lying to her.
"But I heard that the emperor did not sign an alliance with that person and did not violate each other. Isn't it inappropriate to do this today?"
"Abbot, don't forget, who can testify about this matter? The reason why the emperor agreed was to relax the girl's vigilance."
The old abbot smiled: "So that's it. I owe the emperor a favor and am willing to repay the favor today."
When Wen Yao heard this, he suddenly saw the door open.
The light around seemed to lit up. Wen Yao turned around and saw the monks surrounded him at some point. Behind them, there were some men in black standing.
The old monk walked out, but did not see Eunuch Liu.
Wen Yao knew that he had been discovered and stepped out under the light and shadow. She stared at the old monk with a burning look and said coldly: "Don't the abbot be compassionate?"
The old monk chanted the Buddha's name and showed a kind-hearted face. His eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he was never moved by Wen Yao's words: "So, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not hurt Your Highness the Princess."
"You mean, are you going to imprison me?"
The abbot smiled and said, "I just ask Your Highness the Princess to stay for the time being. At that time, I will surely protect your thousands of troops from harm."
Wen Yao laughed: "You deliberately led the Thunder Army here, have you set up a trap here?"
The old abbot did not hide at all: "The Thunder Army was just trapped in a maze in the mountain, where miasma was everywhere, and there was a specially set up formation. If you go in, you don't have a proficient person to lead the way. Basically,
It's hard to get out."
"Okay, the old emperor has no intention of obeying the covenant, right?"
Before, she really thought the old emperor had truly formed an alliance, but in less than a night, the other party turned against each other.
The abbot raised his head and folded his hands together: "Your Highness, this is also the emperor's unscrupulous and unrestrained nature. You are so reckless and careless, and I am afraid that it will cause great disasters and harm to the Northern Song Dynasty in the future. It is better to stop the loss in time and keep it
Cultivate one's own character in this mountain."
Cultivate one's character? It's a blessing that the person in front of me said it.
She stepped forward and smiled and said, "Old monk, let me ask you, who have I taken the initiative to harm?"
The old monk shook his head: "No."
"Who did I kill?"
The old monk stopped talking and waited quietly for Wen Yao to tell, everyone staring at Wen Yao with a serious expression.
"Since I haven't done it, why should I be framed and assassinated again and again? If I hadn't been lucky enough, I would have turned into a beautiful woman and a woman who had done it here, including the old man who is now in power
Emperor, if I don’t resist, wouldn’t I die immediately?”
Her voice was full of deep doubts, which made the old abbot unable to speak. After a long quiet time, the old monk said slowly: "Your Highness, Princess, you are very resentful to the emperor."
"I am narrow-minded. I remember clearly who has bullied me or framed me."
Wen Yao curled up the corners of his lips and glanced at the people surrounding him and smiled faintly: "Since I have fallen into your trap today, you can come here at will, but I keep my word and wait until I return to Jiangyang,
I will definitely come back at any cost. Don’t forget that I am a woman, not a gentleman.”
She smiled slightly, but that smile made her scalp numb.
It turned out that since the beginning of entering the imperial city, the old emperor's big net was tightening little by little. She felt that she was still too naive and forgot the bad nature of these people in power.
