Don't be clouded

Chapter 89 A Fire

In the middle of the night, Xuanqing Mountain was plunged into a state of horror.

The Habayashi army surrounded the temple, and confronted the right guard who was originally on duty around the Xuanqing temple.The lights of the whole temple were gradually turned on, but the gate was always closed.

There is no peace in Chenjing City.

The study room of Prince Xian's mansion was still lit by candlelight, and the prince himself was wearing a coat, looking a little tired.He sat at the table, staring at an unopened letter on the table, and looked at it for a long time without saying a word.

"What time is it?" Ming Wang asked.

"Go back to your lord, it's time to go to court in half an hour." It was Xu Yang who answered.

Last night when Xu Yang returned to Ji's residence, he waited and waited but did not see Ji Bieyun returning, but he received a message from Xuanqing Temple in his anxiety, saying that Ji Bieyun had gone to Xuanqing Temple.

Xu Yang shouldn't be suspicious at all, after all his employer has a very close relationship with Xuanqing Temple.But he still felt that this matter was a bit strange, Ji Bieyun rarely disappeared quietly, and even if he wanted to leave, he would give a warning to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He waited another day without any news, so he came to Prince Xian's mansion and asked Prince Xian to help him find out his whereabouts.

The prince was not in a hurry when he heard it, but comforted him, saying that since Guanchen took him away, he would definitely not do anything to Ji Bieyun, and it was too late for the monk to protect him.

Afterwards, he was asked not to rush back to the Ji residence, and stayed overnight in the palace, where the master and the servant had a good time.

Unexpectedly, after the fourth watch, the news that Xuanqing Temple was surrounded by the Habayashi Army was received.

Xu Yang was naturally anxious, not to mention that Ji Bieyun was still there, just talking about Xuanqing Temple, it would not be a good thing if Emperor Yuanhui really wiped it out.

However, Prince Xian didn't seem to be worried at all, instead he went to the study and found a letter, and then he kept staring at the letter.

No name was written on the envelope, and no one knew what was said inside.

"If you don't hand it over, it will be too late..." Prince Xian's tone was a little misty, "But I really want to open it and have a look."

Xu Yang noticed something, he had a flash of inspiration, and asked, "Master Guan Chen gave this to you?"

Prince Xian nodded, "Guan Chen has already reached the point where Emperor Yuan Hui will be, so he brought this letter to me in advance, and asked me to secretly deliver it to the Xiangfu at the right time."

"Forget it?" Xu Yang was a little puzzled, "Emperor Yuan Hui sent the Habayashi army to encircle the temple this time because Si Tiantai found an abnormal change in the south after observing the sky, so he sent troops to block Xuanqing Temple until the sky calmed down. If so Master Guanchen really knows how to observe the sky, and he can't be sure that Emperor Yuanhui will send the Habayashi Army for this reason, right?"

"No, do you know why my brother is so mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people?"

Seeing that the other party was at a loss, Ming replied: "It's because Guan Chen privately invited Wan Liangao to the Treasure Pavilion."

"What?" Xu Yang was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, "This is... this is a big treason! The first emperor ordered that only emperors of famous families and abbots of Xuanqing Temple can enter the cabinet. Master Guanchen invited a powerful official to enter. Isn't that Do you want to oppose it?"

Ming Wang sneered, and said with admiration: "He is so courageous, he just wants Wan Liang to be arrogant. There is also the so-called celestial phenomenon. In fact, there is not a change in the south, but a new phenomenon. Guan Chen can really understand it. Xingxiu, he also took advantage of this, knowing that Emperor Yuan Hui would definitely send troops to Xuanqing Temple in this name. Therefore, this letter..."

Prince Xian was silent, Xu Yang hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with this letter?"

"Guanchen made a game, and he already expected that the price would be to lure wolves into the house. This letter should be his way to lure wolves out again." Ming Wang said while thinking, "Since Emperor Yuan Hui borrowed such a mysterious and mysterious way to make a move. Name, Guan Chen's counterattack should also be related to this. I am very curious, but I can't open this letter to test my conjecture."

After Xu Yang heard it, he felt that Master Guan Chen was quite different from his usual image, and he was actually an unfathomable counselor.

"Did he not explain clearly to the prince?"

Prince Xian shook his head, "Although Guanchen and I are friends in name, he will never let go of his guard against anyone. Forget it, we will know tomorrow morning, maybe after this trouble, tomorrow morning will be particularly special." Wonderful."

Mingwang stood up, walked out of the study, called a servant, and ordered the letter to be quietly delivered to the prime minister's residence.

Xu Yang watched from the sidelines. Usually, this kind of work was entrusted to him, but now things are different, and the relationship between him and the prince can no longer return to the previous master-servant relationship.

"Ji Bieyun..." After the others left, Xu Yang said, "I always feel that Ji Bieyun knows the purpose of your sending me there, but he doesn't seem to care at all."

Prince Xian looked at the direction in which the servant left, "You mean, he understands that you are the eyes and ears of the palace?"

"Should have figured it out from the start."

Xu Yang thought of the words that Ji Bieyun had opened his heart to him, and his heart softened.The young man sees it more clearly than anyone else, but he doesn't care whether he has anything to do with the palace. He even calls him his elder brother and treats him as one of his own.

A sincere heart is more precious than anything else.

"But since you went to Ji Zhai, it seems that you have never been competent." Mingwang said with a sense of ridicule, "I didn't send any useful information back, it seems that I was bribed as soon as I went."

Xu Yang was taken aback for a moment, and was about to kneel down and plead guilty, but was stopped by Prince Xian raising his hand.

"My lord..." His tone was very conflicted, "Ji Bieyun is a good boy, he trusts me, and I don't want to let down this trust."

Mingwang laughed: "Okay, I didn't blame you. According to Ji Bieyun's temperament, he doesn't form cliques or seek power, so what useful news can there be from his family?"

"My lord means..." Xu Yang couldn't believe it.

"What do I mean?" Prince Xian glanced at him with a smile, "From now on, you will have nothing to do with Prince Xian's mansion, just do what you want."

It took Xu Yang a while to react, and most of the burden in his heart was relieved immediately, so he couldn't help smiling.After laughing, he remembered that it was a critical moment, there was a right guard guarding outside the Xuanqing Temple, if there was a conflict with the Habayashi Army, it would be difficult.

"My lord, how does the right guard make decisions?" he asked.

Prince Xian replied leisurely: "I'm just a nominal general. Tang Pan is in charge of this matter. I can rest assured that he will not cause trouble. And the right guard is in charge of the security of Xuanqing Temple, which was ordered by the late emperor. Ling, [-]% of the Habayashi Army will not go in directly. Maybe they will just surround the outside for a few days, and wait for the Holy Majesty to find another fault in Xuanqing Temple before making a thorough attack."

"The Holy Majesty is too impulsive this time," Xu Yang thought for a while, "Although Wan Liangao covets Xuanqing Temple, he only regards Xuanqing Temple as a symbol, but what he really wants to get his hands on is the whole country. Bringing down Xuanqing Temple in anger will only harm others and not benefit oneself, and it is not Wan Liangao who is harmed."

"Why is it not good for yourself?" Prince Xian retorted calmly, "Your Majesty has never been used to Xuanqing Temple. If it is done this time, wouldn't the dragon's heart be happy? In the future, there is no need to go to Xuanqing Mountain to burn incense and pray for blessings. The rules left by the late emperor are also You don’t have to follow it, how free it is.”

After all, he smiled first.

"Left and right woke up and couldn't fall asleep, let's walk."

Ming Wang walked out and took Xu Yang up to a six-story building in the palace.With the coolness of the night breeze, he became much more energetic, and even ordered the boy to bring wine, and put the wine to the wind.

"Let's wait and see what happens in Xuanqing Mountain."

Hanging on the mountain.

The panic-stricken monks gathered outside the Zhaohui Building, only the abbot of Xuanqing Temple was missing amidst the noise.

Monks are all human beings, and only a few can abide by the precepts and rules when disaster strikes. Most of the monks are no longer reticent in the past.

An older monk told others about the past. Even before Daliang ruled the world, this mountain had not experienced any wars, so Xuanqing Temple has been preserved to this day.The old monk sighed at the end, now this battle is really rare, and the peacetime is actually more dangerous than the wartime.

Seeing the messy scene outside Zhaohui Building, Miao Wu felt like a mess in his heart.Guan Chen is not here, he is the backbone of these people at the moment, but he can't make everyone completely calm down.

After the people from the Habayashi Army came, he immediately went to the famous courtyard.The lights were still on in the courtyard, and Guan Chen didn't look like he had fallen asleep when he came out, so he left without asking any questions.

However, there was no one in the middle of the walk, Miao Wu turned around and looked, the mountain road was empty.

It is impossible for his junior brother to run away, and this disappearance is probably trying to find a way.

Although he thought so, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

Although Yu Linjun said that he surrounded Xuanqing Temple because of a strange celestial phenomenon, but he opened the door once and went out, and the attitude of the other party was more like a search.If it weren't for the presence of the right guard, it is estimated that he would have broken in already.

When did Xuanqing Temple offend Emperor Yuan Hui, and what did Guan Chen disappear suddenly...

Just when Miaowu was puzzled, there was a sudden exclamation from below.

"There's water over there!"

The commotion spread immediately, many people looked in the direction of the man's finger, and the outside of Zhaohui Building became extremely noisy.

Miaowu turned his head and saw that there was indeed a fire in the distance, and the direction seemed to be the Shengjing Palace.At first, the fire was just a little bit, but in an instant, it burned more and more with the night wind, and it was almost uncontrollable.

He was almost sure that the fire was set by Guanchen.In order to prevent water from leaking in the temple, people are sent to check the candles everywhere every day. Although the safety cannot be completely guaranteed, but something happened at this juncture, it must be man-made.

For some unknown reason, Miaowu is determined to be related to viewing dust.

Shengjing Palace...

That was the place where the late emperor often visited when he came to Xuanqing Temple. After the late emperor passed away, the place was sealed up and no outsiders were received.

Some memories came to his mind, and he instantly understood why the Shengjing Hall was flooded.

Many monks ran in that direction, shouting to put out the fire, but he walked quickly in the opposite direction full of anger.

He's going to a famous courtyard.
