After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Jiang Ruoli didn't believe it and wanted to take three more incense sticks.

At this time, a young monk came over, supporting an abbot.

The abbot had white hair and beard, a kind face, and clear, bright eyes.

After lighting the incense in her hand, Mrs. Jiang stood up and clasped her hands together.

"Abbot Huixuan." Mrs. Jiang said respectfully.

"Donor Jiang."

Abbot Huixuan opened his mouth, and his voice was like the sound of Buddha, surrounding him softly.

He looked at Jiang Ruoli and said calmly: "If you have a wish in your heart, the tribute will continue."

"If the little donor has no desire in his heart, then this incense will not be lit."

After saying that, he looked at the little monk next to him.

The young monk walked forward, took the incense from Jiang Ruoli's hand, and handed it to Jiang Ci'an who was standing beside her with both hands.

Just as Jiang Ci'an took the incense in his hand, he heard a "puff" sound and a small flame ignited.

Incense, lit by myself.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the incense in Jiang Ci'an's hand in astonishment, and couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

No, she wants something!

She wishes she could save a million!

Are you kidding me?!

Jiang Ruoli was angry.

The moment she turned her head, the light and shadow flickered, and her temperament changed in an instant.

Abbot Huixuan looked at Jiang Ruoli's face, and a ripple appeared in his originally calm eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

Abbot Huixuan showed a hint of smile.

"Where should I go? The world is like a dream, so don't look for it anymore."

"Amitabha......"

After saying that, he clasped his hands together, turned and left.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the mysterious abbot and was completely confused.

Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter, her heart filled with worry.

Abbot Huixuan, what exactly does this mean...

Seeing that she couldn't burn incense, Jiang Ruoli didn't get angry. She stood aside waiting for Madam Jiang and Jiang Ci'an.

After they finished burning incense, they were not in a hurry to leave, but started to tour the temple.

"Madam, aren't we going back?" Fuguo asked when he saw that his masters all looked worried.

"Don't be in a hurry. This is Li'er's first time at Xiangshan Temple, so she can take a good look around." Mrs. Jiang said.

Of course there is no rush.

Jiang Ruoli thought.

The person she was waiting for hasn't come yet.

As soon as Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, she saw the third prince's carriage appear at the door.

"Fuguo, go pack up, we should leave."

Fuguo: ???

No, madam, didn’t you just say you wanted to take the young lady for a walk?

But since the master has spoken, Fuguo naturally won't say much.

He obediently took the food box containing the tribute and followed his masters out the door.

"Your Highness."

As soon as Xiao Yuheng got off the carriage, he saw the mother and son of the Jiang family kneeling and bowing outside the door.

"No gift."

"Madam Zhenguo is here to burn incense and pray for blessings today?"

Madam Jiang nodded with a smile, "Yes, An'er is free today, so I brought him and my daughter here."

Xiao Yuheng looked at Jiang Ci'an and Jiang Ruoli who were standing beside him.

He was familiar with Jiang Ci'an, a young general who had made great military achievements at a young age.

Jiang Ruoli?

The woman with pearls on her head?

"Your Highness, I have finished burning incense and will take my leave now," said Madam Jiang.

Xiao Yuheng withdrew his gaze and nodded.

Watching the three members of the Jiang family get on the carriage, Xiao Yuheng asked the young monk beside him.

"Why did Madam Zhenguo come to burn incense today?"

"Your Highness, Madam Jiang comes to burn incense on this day every year in order to avoid the crowds on the Winter Solstice." The young monk said respectfully.

It turned out to be the case.

Xiao Yuheng looked at the carriage that had already left.

I hope he's not overthinking it.

As the carriage drove out of the Third Prince's sight, Jiang Ruoli began to urge him on.

"Mom, can you please go a little faster? I...my stomach is not feeling well."

Jiang Ruoli said while holding her stomach.

[I remember the robbers are at the foot of the mountain, we have to get down the mountain quickly! ]

Jiang Ci'an understood what was going on and immediately urged his servants to hurry up and drive the carriage.

Just as we were reaching the foot of the mountain, a flock of birds were startled from the woods nearby.

Jiang Ci'an moved his ears and heard a strange sound.

"parking."

The galloping carriage came to a sudden stop.

"What's wrong, An'er?" Mrs. Jiang asked.

Jiang Ruoli also looked at Jiang Ci'an.

【What happened to my second brother? 】

She was in a hurry to go down the mountain to save people!

People who practice martial arts have sharper hearing than ordinary people, and Jiang Ci'an heard the sound earlier.

Taking a look at Jiang Ruoli, Jiang Ci'an knew that she was anxious.

"Mom, I want to go out for a while." Jiang Ci'an said pretending to be embarrassed.

Mrs. Jiang understood and was a little worried. "Are you going alone? Call Fuping."

"It's okay, mom. I'll be back soon." Jiang Ci'an comforted her, "Don't worry."

Jiang Ruoli was also worried.

[Second brother must go and come back quickly! ]

Jiang Ci'an smiled.

He didn't have any weapons, but as a general of a country, he could still deal with a few thieves.

He turned around and got off the carriage, and ran towards the direction of the sound...

Zhang Huaiyun was carrying his big bag and walking in the snow with alternating steps.

He was originally an ordinary student in Zhangling County and came from a humble background.

But he was unwilling to be trapped in a small county town all his life. He believed that a man should either take up a gun to fight the enemy in battle or take up a pen to write in court.

He was weak since childhood and was unable to fulfill his wish to fight on the battlefield, but he made great achievements in academic studies.

Fortunately, he passed the provincial examination smoothly and won the first place in the imperial examination.

This time, I have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to take the exam in order to get a good ranking in the joint examination next spring and to shed my blood for Dacheng.

In order to save money, he rode on a cart used by his fellow villagers to transport goods to Kyoto.

But he was unlucky. Just as he reached the outskirts of Beijing, the cart that was taking him to Beijing broke down.

I wanted to find an inn to stay in first, but I found that my purse containing silver and money had fallen out at some point.

He was a little broken.

His fellow villagers told him that it would be closer to Beijing via Xiangyun Mountain, so he had no choice but to cross Xiangyun Mountain to enter Beijing overnight.

He was cold, hungry and sleepy, and walked on the road in a daze.

Suddenly, a white light flashed.

A large knife was across his neck.

Zhang Huaiyun woke up immediately.

When he looked up, he saw two burly men standing in front of him with ferocious looks on their faces.

Oh no, it’s a robber!

Zhang Huaiyun swallowed nervously.

"Brother...Brother, let's talk nicely." Zhang Huaiyun stared at the knife on his neck.

"Give me the money!" the robber with a big knife said viciously.

"I...I have no money..."

"No money?" Another robber grabbed the bag from him and tore it open.

I saw that in the huge bag, except for a few pieces of clothes, the rest were all books.

I searched everywhere but couldn't find the silver.

The robbers searched Zhang Huaiyun's body again, but found nothing.

"Brother, there's really nothing."

Hey!

The robber cursed.

After all this time, I turned out to be just a poor scholar.

"Since you have no money, I'll take your life!"

After saying that, he swung the big knife in his hand and chopped towards Zhang Huaiyun's head.

"Help!"

With a howl, Zhang Huaiyun was so scared that he squatted down with his head in his hands.

"puff!"

All I could hear was the sound of flesh tearing apart.
