Five hundred Royal Guardsmen wearing bright red heavy armor and holding halberds were the first to clear the way, and five hundred Royal Guardsmen were behind. In the middle were dozens of large, colorful carriages inlaid with gold and silver. There were also cavalry guards on both sides of the convoy, with red backgrounds.

The yellow dragon's triangular flag flutters in the wind, and the golden bell hanging on the top of the flagpole jingles constantly, which is very pleasant to the ear.

Sitting in the largest carriage in the center of the motorcade is the mother of the current emperor, Queen Mother He. Today is an auspicious day, and Queen Mother He is so happy that she wants to go to Leiyue Temple to offer incense and petition.

Along the way, both officials and civilians retreated twenty meters away and prostrated themselves on the ground. No one dared to raise their heads to take a look.

In one of the carriages, there were three people sitting, a beautiful woman and two little carrot heads. They were Lingyue King Sun Hai and his mother Wang Guifei. The other one was naturally wearing a brand new blue eunuch uniform.

Guo Xuanwu.

The carriage was moving slowly, but King Lingyue in the carriage could not rest for a moment. This was the first time in his life that he had left the palace, and everything outside was so novel to him.

Sun Hai lay down on the left window and looked out, and then turned to the right, looking left and right, his big curious eyes almost invisible, and even the green silk curtains on the window were almost pulled down by him.

Naturally, Guo Xuanwu was not idle either. He kept talking all the way and acted as a tour guide, introducing this and that to Sun Hai. He was very busy.

Wang Guifei looked at the two little guys and smiled knowingly: "Xiaohai, Xiaowu, don't be naughty. When we get to Leiyue Temple later, don't run around to avoid getting into trouble. Today, Queen Mother Luanjia personally offers incense.

After offering incense, you have to meet with the 100-year-old eminent monk ‘Yi Wu’, and ask for the Lei Yue written in gold lacquer to come back to the court for worship. This may take a lot of time, so you two need to be smart and follow.

Later, when you see the old monk, bow to him and pester him to show you his face, and then tell your mother when you get back."

"I understand, mother." Sun Hai nodded.

Guo Xuanwu patted his chest and said, "Aunt Wang, just relax about this little thing. I'm responsible for everything!"

Concubine Wang pursed her lips and said nothing.

Ever since the incident with Wei Xi, Wang Guifei had intended to get Sun Hai closer to Guo Xuanwu. In this way, she had gained the support of Guo Bin who was nine thousand years old, and her life in the palace was smooth.

Carefree and at ease.

Through the car window, a young general aroused Guo Xuanwu's interest. This man was in his twenties. He had a gray war horse on his hip, a silver armor, a bright silver gun in his hand, and a bright red weapon.

The cloak fluttered in the wind, like a fiery red cloud, galloping back and forth on the right side of the convoy, and from time to time using a silver gun to open the carriages parked on the roadside to see if there was any suspicious person hiding inside.

Guo Xuanwu had grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he had always been exposed to people who flattered and intrigued each other. When he first saw this majestic and talented young general, he was naturally very surprised and couldn't help but pay attention.

I saw that this young general was about 1.8 meters tall, with a majestic body, jade face, phoenix eyes, aquiline nose, thin lips, and always smiling, giving people a sense of intimacy bathing in the spring breeze. However, Guo

Xuanwu noticed that although the man's phoenix eyes were bright, they were constantly moving back and forth. There was a cunning agility in his eyes, and he seemed to look at everyone like an assassin.

This kind of look made Guo Xuanwu quite unhappy, especially when he saw that the young general used a long gun to pierce five or six large sacks on a cart on the roadside, letting the corn in the sacks flow out, and then

When his horse kicked over two baskets and the fruits in the baskets rolled all over the floor, the unhappiness in his heart immediately escalated into disgust.

"You look like a talented person, but you turn out to be a scumbag who bullies the people. Sooner or later, I will try to trick you. Otherwise, how can you live up to my title of little overlord?"

Guo Xuanwu showed a strange smile and said: "Aunt Wang, who is this red-robed and silver-armored general outside? He looks majestic!"

Lingyue King Sun Hai had been with Guo Xuanwu for a long time, so he naturally understood his character to a certain extent. As soon as he saw the smile on his face, he knew that something was definitely up to him, and thought to himself: "I don't know what the boss has up his sleeve."

Yes, it must be very interesting, no, I have to help him!"

Thinking of this, he also tugged at the corner of Wang Guifei's clothes and began to ask questions, all of which were about the young general outside.

Wang Guifei couldn't stand the entanglement of the two little guys and said with a smile: "His name is Liu Xie, nicknamed Mengyu, nicknamed Aji. He is twenty years old this year and is the chief captain of the north gate of the palace."

Guo Xuanwu was surprised: "Aunt Wang, how do you know so detailedly, even his nickname?"

Concubine Wang Guifei said with a smile: "This Liu Xie is a distant relative of Concubine Liu of Yunfei Palace. I often travel with that sister Liu Meier, and I often hear her praise Liu Xie, saying that he is resourceful and ambitious, and he may be a supporter in the future.

, so I spent money to buy him the official position of Beimen Captain."

Guo Xuanwu said with a look of sudden realization: "Oh! No wonder! Today when we left the palace, the south gate was the easiest way, but we had to go around to the north gate. It turned out to be to give him a chance to show off!"

"You little devil, I can't hide anything from you!" Wang Guifei pursed her lips in amusement.

"Have a big mole on your chest? The mole is black, so there's no way this guy's heart must be black, huh! I have to pull out your big mole!" Guo Xuanwu snorted coldly in his heart.

Half an hour later, the motorcade arrived at the square in front of Leiyue Temple.

The vermilion main gate of Leiyue Temple, which has been closed all year round, is wide open. The bells and drum towers on the left and right are ringing together, and the sound reaches the sky. Sanskrit chants are heard in the courtyard. Incense tables have been set up on both sides of the mountain gate. The abbot Tai'a, who is about seventy years old, leads dozens of people.

The eminent monks in the temple stood in line to greet the empress dowager, the great benefactor.

In order to show respect, the Queen Mother He ordered her to stop at the three arches lined up at the mountain entrance of the temple. She was supported by the chief eunuch Guo Bindou and walked into the temple. The concubine Wang Guifei, King Lingyue Sun Hai, Guo Xuanwu and other royal family members in the palace walked into the temple.

Then they filed in.

The Royal Forest Army was divided into two teams, one inside and one outside, and surrounded the entire temple. There was a post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. They were heavily guarded, for fear that someone would alert Feng Jia.

After offering incense and worshiping the Buddha, Empress Dowager He couldn't wait to ask the abbot to introduce the hundred-year-old enlightened monk "Yiwu" to seek advice from him.

Master Tai'a, the abbot, announced the Buddha's name and led the way, guiding the Queen Mother He, the chief steward Guo Bin, Wang Guifei and Lingyue Wang Sun Hai to Qingliangyuan to pay homage to the holy monk, while the others were guided by the young novices and went their separate ways.

Rest in the monastery has been arranged.
