8, Chapter 8(1/2)

"Okay, okay!" Xi Guan clapped his hands excitedly, "I know that Your Highness the Princess has great wisdom. No matter what Your Highness arranges next, I will cooperate unconditionally."

After all, everyone is working hard in the same direction. As long as His Royal Highness the King of Chu returns to secular life and successfully marries Princess Shanshan, then rewards will be based on merit, not to mention the level of promotion, and the salary will be doubled.

Xi Guan left happily, and the princess also wrapped herself in a quilt and returned to her bedroom. Chuo Chuo helped her change into clothes, and while drawing her eyebrows, he asked: "What are you going to do?"

The princess held the hairpin on her temples and said, "Act according to the opportunity."

The term "acting by ear" is an all-encompassing term, and if you have a fish nearby listening, you will know that the princess has not thought about it at all.

But last night's event, even if you didn't see it with your own eyes, you can guess what kind of flammable and explosive exciting scene it was just by imagining it. Youyu touched his chin and thought, "What kind of monster is this King of Chu, Your Highness?"

After spending one night with such a stunning beauty, he got up early in the morning and left without looking back?"

The princess was exhausted mentally and physically. "There is such an inflexible person in the world. He said he made a vow before the Buddha. What's the big deal about making a vow? I often make vows and often go back on my word, and Garuda Bodhisattva doesn't blame me."

Chuo Chuo bared his teeth and said, "Why didn't you blame me? That's why you were punished and sent to the country to be used as bait."

The princess held up her chin and sighed, "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to change a person's belief. Is there anyone with high status and infatuation in Beijing? As long as I am not allowed to be a concubine, I can settle for the next best thing."

Youyu said, Your Highness, please stop being too whimsical, "Although King Chu is stubborn, there is one good thing. He didn't have sex and didn't eat His Highness last night. Such a wok-maker is more valuable than gold and is hard to find even with a lantern."

This is true. The princess thought for a while, slapped the table and stood up and said: "Let's go! Don't say he is still in Beijing, even if he goes to Bodhidharma Temple, I will catch up with him!"

She left immediately, and the princess's determination should not be underestimated. She took Chuo Yuyu and boarded the carriage prepared by Xi Guan. The coachman knew the road to Ouchi, so he drove faster and arrived at Zhuque Street in a stick of incense.

Zhuque Street is the main road in the center of the capital, leading straight to the Imperial City. As for how spectacular the Imperial City is, let's put it this way: one moment the carriage was galloping under the bright sun, and the next moment it broke into the endless shadows.

After running for a long time, I looked back. The sunlight outside the shadows was like a waterfall. The rugged lines projected by the imperial city gate tower divided the earth into two worlds, one light and one dark. People walking underneath looked as small as ants.

The carriage finally stopped in front of the palace gate. After the princess got out of the car, she held on to the curtain and looked up. She had vaguely glimpsed a corner of the imperial city from the sleeping tower of Prince Chu's Mansion. At that time, she felt it was gorgeous and spectacular. She didn't expect that when it was so close, it was so beautiful.

This magnificent sense of oppression is becoming more and more pressing.

The general guarding the palace gate was wearing gleaming golden armor. He came forward with his sword pressed and said in a rough voice: "The palace is a forbidden place, and no one can stay here."

Because the curtain covered the whole body, it was impossible to tell who was behind the curtain. I thought that a scolding would scare the person away, but I never thought that green fingers could be found at the junction of the curtain. I lifted it slightly, and a beautiful face was revealed behind the veil.

Come on.

That face confuses all living beings. It is so beautiful that it is not like a human being. It has a slight hint of resentment. With a pair of beautiful eyebrows, it said: "General, please forgive me. I am the Princess of Shanshan. I think it is almost time. Come to pick up my Royal Highness the King of Chu."

go home."

This passage can be regarded as the highest level of Jilaishu. It clearly and concisely explains the relationship with the King of Chu. Anyway, everyone in the world knows that the emperor of the Shang Dynasty has brought Princess Shanshan into the palace of the King of Chu, and there is no way to save face.

The princess has decided to do harm to herself and create momentum unilaterally.

The God in Golden Armor was considered well-informed, but as soon as the princess showed her golden face, she was completely stunned. It took her a while to recover, and she knelt on one knee and raised her hands, "I don't know if the noble one has arrived, but I will make a mistake.

Your Majesty, are you here to pick up His Royal Highness the King of Chu? Your Highness had left the palace a moment ago, and your Majesty came a step too late."

The princess was stunned, "Leaving the palace?" She started sobbing as she spoke, "He promised me to pick him up..."

The golden-armored god was in a daze for a while, the gauze fell, but the princess's charming voice and aggrieved tone could not be separated.

"My lord, please... don't be anxious." The Golden Armored God stammered, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu entered the palace and faced the Holy Spirit directly. It is said that he put down the tiger talisman and left. His Royal Highness did not ride a horse when he came down, and he left on foot. If your lord wants to catch up, you still have time.

…Your Highness went straight to the west, presumably heading towards the Golden Light Gate.”

As expected, there was nothing left for him to miss in the capital, and he was going back to Bodhidharma Temple.

The princess hurriedly returned to the car and said angrily: "Why didn't the emperor of the previous country stay with him for a few more moments? Isn't this embarrassing the princess? If you want to develop a relationship, you have to get along more. Everyone has run away, and I still act like a bird egg, Princess Chu."

.”

The princess is extremely elegant when she is leisurely and leisurely, but once she is in a hurry, her words are not so pleasant.

How can a monk with a rock-solid heart be dragged back to earth? She even took off her clothes last night, and no one even bothered to look at her. Maybe the idea of ​​going to the country was wrong from the beginning, and they shouldn't be looking for her.

A female lover should find a man. In addition, the act of drugging made Xiao Sui wary, so he simply threw down the tiger charm and left. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to harm him in the future?

"What should we do? Shall we follow?" Some fish were eager to give it a try.

Chuochuo grimaced, "You're not prepared to change your clothes and pay for your travel expenses. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. Are you going to beg for food to fill your stomach?"

You can't fight an uncertain battle. The princess bit her lip and thought for a while, then said to Youyu: "You come to drive the car and ask the driver to go back and report the news to Official Xi. There is Linquan Station twenty miles west of Shangjing, and the King of Chu must stop there.

… Let’s get there before him, and set up a trap for him to jump in. No matter how many, let him break a few precepts, and then we will have something to talk about, so we can negotiate terms with him.”

After hearing this, Chuochuo and Youyu greatly appreciated the princess's meticulousness. Youyu said, "We didn't see any Linquanyi Station when we came here. How did your Highness know about it?"

"Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle..." The princess glanced at her and said, "That's what Xi Guan said."

So can you take back the applause you just gave me? Chuochuo and Youyu exchanged glances and shrugged helplessly.

Fortunately, the princess is not only good at talking about things on paper, but also has great ideas. Monks travel long distances without relying on carriages and horses. Measuring rivers and mountains with their feet is also a practice. If calculated according to speed and distance, their carriage can reach Linquanyi at least one day in advance, and one day in advance.

The time was enough to make arrangements. The princess wanted to let King Chu experience the prosperity of the human world again. Of course, she had no good intentions, because in addition to taboos such as killing animals and sexual misconduct, Buddhism also has a number of pure precepts, such as not drinking alcohol and not watching.

Singing, dancing and music, etc.

The efficiency of Xi Guan's work was indeed remarkable. The coachman brought the princess's request back, and Xi Guan carried it out meticulously. When the princess and her party arrived at Linquan Post, all the business travelers staying in the post had been cleared, and the lobby was in full swing.

A high platform was set up in the center, and a red carpet with gold edges was also spread on the platform.

Chuochuo brought the tray to the princess. Inside was a dance skirt, a full set of necklaces, and finger bells and foot bells.

The princess was confident, "Are all the musicians in place?"

Youyu said yes, then looked at the princess hesitantly, "How long has it been since you danced? Is it okay to have a small waist?"

When it comes to dancing, the princess has nothing to say about it. Her limbs are naturally soft. If others break their legs after practicing hard, she can kick them over her head with just a casual kick.

Talent is something that cannot be ignored. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, the princess is most good at dancing. Shan Shanren is famous for being good at singing and dancing. Although she has always been the one sitting on the throne and watching the dance, over time, she has watched too much.

He can dance better than those jugglers.

The solo dance formation was not big enough, so the three of them changed into dresses together. Chuochuo and Youyu were just for show, but the snake bun was also stylish.

The princess's outfit was more complicated. The last one came out, and she was radiant. She held a pipa in her arms, her half-arms were covered with green feathers, and her red dress was like fire. Her beautiful eyes were flowing under the gold silk mask, and her silk was flying around. She walked barefoot,

Her steps were lingering and graceful. If I hadn't known her for so long, I would have mistakenly thought that Feitian had fallen into the mortal world. She would jump up and dance to a song if she didn't agree with her.

Look at the sky, the sun is going down soon. According to the report from the spies, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already reached Sandao River in front of him. He is in an embarrassing situation with no village in front of him or any store behind him. He has no choice but to stay at the inn.

The princess was so nervous that she gritted her teeth, "Okay, it's finally here..."

After finishing the previous secret loss, I let him go easily. The more I thought about it afterwards, the more I regretted it, blaming myself for not performing well. Now if I do it again, I have to seize the opportunity to get back in the game.

The princess winked at the person hiding behind the door. As soon as the King of Chu came in, she would immediately close the door to ensure that he could not come back. After everything was arranged, the princess smiled proudly with her hands on her hips. This was the disadvantage of becoming a monk.

You can't get angry even if you make a calculation, and you can't just raise a knife and chop like before. If you chop, you will break the precept. The pure land of Buddhism cannot tolerate disciples holding butcher knives.

The person sent out to investigate came back and said in a long voice, "report", "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived at Hutiaomen, only two miles away."

The princess said hello, rubbed her hands and said, "Let's explore again."

After a while, someone came in again and said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had left the official road and went straight to the inn.

The princess simply couldn't contain her excitement, and she hurriedly leaned on the window to watch, here it comes, here it comes... The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun spread over it. The monk in white seemed to be walking in the light, and the sunset smudged his robe.

The nine-ring tin staff followed his footsteps and made a crisp sound. It is said that this sound is used to drive away evil spirits, snakes, insects, rats and ants.

The princess glanced at Chuochuo and said, "The monk that night..."

"That's His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Chuo Chuo said firmly, "What a fate!"

The princess suddenly felt a little guilty. It turned out that someone had really saved her, but she had made a hole in the silk hole, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

The clear sound of the iron ring shaking was getting closer and closer, and the princess saw his face clearly through the gap. It was quiet, gentle, and compassionate. If his ambition did not determine her fate, the princess sincerely felt that he was very suitable for this job. Because there are very few

Someone can refine the aura that floats out of the dust. Maybe he has really let go, and then he will appear so pure and vast, and the Buddha Dharma will be boundless.

Forget it, destroying other people's cultivation is too immoral, the princess suddenly hesitated. For some reason, seeing him in white clothes made her feel inexplicably friendly. Thinking about it carefully, maybe because the city of Wuni is also white, seeing him

, it reminded her of her hometown.

Just as the princess shook her head, the nine-ring tin staff was shaken. This time it was no longer a slight collision, but a series of "cracks".

"Huh?" The princess looked again and found that he stopped in front of the fence gate and just shook the sandalwood stick in his hand. The princess wondered, "What is he doing? Why doesn't he come in?"

The servant of the palace on the side said in a low voice: "Waking the stick is equivalent to knocking on the door, which means that you are not allowed to come in. If it is convenient for the people inside, they can voluntarily give alms to their families."

The princess was stunned, "Have we been discovered?"

Chuo Chuo said no, "If we had discovered it, we would have taken a detour long ago."

This was reasonable, and the princess immediately gave Yi Cheng a wink and asked him to go out to greet her, but to trick the people in first anyway.

Yi Cheng received the order, tried his best to calm his mind, and then greeted him warmly with a cramped smile.

"Master..." Yi Cheng showed off all his skills of flattering big shots. He stepped forward, nodded and said, "Master has come a long way. It's been a hard journey. Come in and have a rest. I'll order someone to prepare a meal for you."

Three days of dry food and water... Master, please come in quickly."

Unfortunately, Shi Xin did not accept his kindness, and gently dodged the Yi Cheng's hand that tried to take away the baggage. He Shiyi bowed and said, "The poor monk is covered in dirt and it is inconvenient to enter. All he needs to do is beg for a piece of pancake."

Yi Cheng was stunned for a moment, "How can that be done? It's getting dark soon. Master, can't you find a place to stay?"

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the person's Dharma appearance is solemn, and he purses his lips and smiles slightly, "A monk walks around, there is a pure land in his heart, and he can sleep peacefully everywhere."

The postmaster was blocked and came back. Although the Zen meaning in the master's words was transcendent, he remembered Princess Shanshan's wide-open phoenix eyes in the posthouse, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to lobby.

"Linquan Inn is an inn. The inn opens its doors to welcome guests from all over the world and provides food and accommodation for tired officials and business travelers passing by. Buddhism pays attention to convenience, and our inn also pays attention to convenience. Convenience is convenient, and it is convenient to get home, right? Master, right?
