Chapter 404 Thousand Buddha Temple (1st update)
Wu Chen frowned and asked: "Why are you here again? Is there something wrong with the official family? I didn't find the gold and silver so quickly. After Shuangxi Village is broken, maybe Then you will know where the gold and silver are going..."
Xing Yun waved his hand and said: "I'm not here to rush you. The officials are still worried, I'm here. Yes, you have more manpower here."
Wu Chen asked again: "Are you relieved that the officials know that the hidden dangers on your brothers have been eliminated?"
Xing Yun said with a bitter smile. : "Who knows? Anyway, I was sent to your place. My brother... is only working during the day for the time being."
Wu Chen nodded, changed the subject and said: "They want to capture Big Brother blindly. They should know my origin, but others cannot ignore it. You can help me arrange some people to secretly protect Big Brother and Second Brother." Family. "
"What do you mean? The official family has already arranged it! Why didn't you mention Yu Shi'an and Song Gu?" Xing Yun asked as he sat at the table.
Chen Nanzhu pointed at Xing Yun and said, "I seem to have seen you before."
Xing Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wu Chen in surprise and asked, "Is it so fast?"
< br>Wu Chen nodded and said: "So I will take her to Thousand Buddha Temple today. By being next to the Queen Mother, her consciousness will be clearer, and then let her make a decision by herself, whether to stay with the Queen Mother or come back with me. .”
Xing Yun asked in confusion: "Is this matter worth your while?"
"If something happens to you one day, I will do the same thing."
Xing Yunzhang He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Wu Chen frowned and said:
"You just mentioned Song Tixing... You should also arrange a few people for Yu Shi'an, at least escort them to a safe place, I I know that those people will spare no effort to wash away the ink, but I can’t tell whether they will attack others when they are exhausted, so I am suddenly very worried about Song Tixing.”
Xing Yun snorted and said:
"Do you think everyone is like you? Those people can think of kidnapping Datou because he and you have been together since we were beggars, and other people are nothing more than nothing in their eyes. They are just your followers, otherwise they would have attacked Gao Er's family and Xu's family long ago. Don't feel bad about yourself. They have wanted wholeheartedly these years. It takes time to find out some things about Ximo."
"I hope you will go to Qianfo Temple with us?"
"I'm here, so let's go. ! But do you need to tell the officials that no one will stop you when you enter the palace, but this is not necessarily the case in Qianfo Temple.”
……
Wu Chen entered the palace. Li Heng sent a team of guards to lead the way. The boss and the fourth drove the car, Xing Yun, Gu You, Xu Da rode the horse, Datou, Chen Nanzhu and Wu Chen sat in the carriage. The group went straight to Qianfo Temple outside the city.
On the way, everyone simply ate some dry food and kept going. By the time they arrived outside Qianfo Temple, it was already dark.
The guards dismounted, and one of them walked up to Wu Chen and asked if he would stay overnight. Wu Chen said he would wait until then, but the guards hesitated. Xing Yun came over and said, "No arrangement is the best arrangement. Just obey your orders. If you really say that we can't stay in the temple, we will rush back overnight. What are you afraid of?"
The guard didn't say anything and came forward to call the door.
Thousand Buddha Temple is built on the mountain. The gate of the temple is at the foot of the mountain. The several main halls at the back are up the mountain. On both sides are the resting places for monks. However, the courtyard where the Queen Mother lives is behind the highest hall. .
Monks do not come to this courtyard on weekdays, but you can clearly hear the monks chanting sutras every day.
Now that the Queen Mother is practicing here, the courtyard door is even more tightly closed.
The group entered the temple and followed the mountain road to the outside of the courtyard. The guard called to open the door, and then waited outside the courtyard. Wu Chen led everyone into the courtyard.
Accompanying the Queen Mother were three eunuchs, three palace maids, and two stout women working in the kitchen. There were imperial guards guarding the outer courtyard.
Xing Yun all knew these people. Wu Chen only took Chen Nanzhu to the inner courtyard, and the rest stayed in the outer courtyard to eat vegetarian food together. Datou has not been a vegetarian for a long time. Suddenly I tasted it and I found it very delicious. I actually used it a lot.
Wu Chen didn't use it less. There were various kinds of vegetarian dishes in the Queen Mother's room. Since the Queen Mother had started a hunger strike since she called, the vegetarian dishes on the table were all cheaper for Wu Chen.
Chen Nanzhu felt uncomfortable and didn’t use much.
Wu Chen knew that Chen Nanzhu needed to adapt. Being so close and yet so far away, so far away yet so so close, would not be easy for anyone.
The Queen Mother had been lying on the bed. Knowing that Wu Chen was coming, she found the strength to let the palace maid help her out. She leaned on the couch in the hall, watching Wu Chen eating, and kept talking. Said sarcastic words.
"...If I die, she can only become stupid."
"If I were you, I wouldn't be in the mood to eat. You may not have the chance to see the sunset tonight. Until tomorrow's morning sun."
Seeing that Wu Chen ignored her and only focused on eating, she said again. :
“Don’t think that because you have Xi Mo on your body, no one can hurt you. Don’t think about it either. Since Xi Mo can be hidden by others, it means that the original owner is dead. Who said Xi Mo can hurt you? The ink can't be removed from your body? It can be removed if you die."
Wu Chen still ignored her.
"Hmph! Don't be complacent. Although I have left the palace now, my people are not easy to mess with. Otherwise, as the Queen Mother, can I still be afraid of them? I know that the officials have mobilized their troops, and it's useless for me to tell him. , Is this your idea? Do you know that you will die if you go there, so why don’t you just let others try it first?”
Wu Chen put down his chopsticks and picked up the soup bowl. , drank the soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "Are you serious that you haven't eaten enough water or rice this day? I think you haven't missed a meal."
"I..."
"Hunger strike, unless you really want to die, I would like to advise you, it is of no use to the officials!"
"I..."
"What happens to Shuangxi Village today or tomorrow has nothing to do with you, and my life and death have nothing to do with you. You should just think about what to eat for your next meal."
"Of course it has nothing to do with me whether you live or die, but Where is she? "
The Queen Mother pointed to Chen Nanzhu who was lying on the table.
"If she lives, you can live. If she dies, you can't live. I can give you this promise."
"You..."
"Do you want to wait for your tribe to save you? Or do you also hate the ways of your tribe? Let me ask you a question that you can't answer. Did you give birth to the official family?"
"Nonsense!"
"Your people are all like you, worse than animals? Tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds. The official is nothing more than a tool in your eyes. Where do you have the shame to threaten him with a hunger strike? You will naturally have excuses for leaving the palace. If you die, no matter what the cause of death is, do you think people outside can Do you know?"
The Queen Mother snorted and turned her face to the side.
Wu Chen patted Chen Nanzhu gently. Chen Nanzhu slowly raised his head, his eyes full of pain, but clearer than before.
"Do you remember what happened that day in Cining Palace?" Wu Chen asked.
