Cannot attack objects

Zhong Shao entered Yangguan, but Zhong Shao did not stay in Yangguan for long.

As expected, the arrest warrant for Zhong Shao in Yangguan has been withdrawn, and the arrest warrant for her in the entire Liang Kingdom has also been withdrawn. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Wenxuan came from the back cover of King Fu in person after knowing the approximate time of Zhong Shao's return. see her.

It's a pity that the person who can touch Zhong Shao's heartstrings is destined not to be her, so within two days after entering the city, Zhong Shao left alone on his horse.As for the aftermath of the caravan handover, it was naturally handed over to Xu Wenjin and the others.

Where is Zhong Shao going?Where can Zhong Shao go?Naturally, there is only one answer - Anyang.

According to Xu Wenjin, during the six months when Zhong Shao and Wu Changjun went to the Western Regions to do business, there were many changes in Beijing and China.

For example, Xiao Qian used thunder to destroy three families. Although he quickly gained power, he also caused panic among the people in the court, and even spread rumors that he killed his brothers.So the new emperor had a bad reputation as soon as he came to the throne, but Xiao Qian himself didn't really care about it.

For another example, after Xiao Qian wiped out the three families, in order to continue to consolidate the imperial power, it was inevitable that he would confront the noble concubine and the princess line.Now Concubine Yu has been promoted to Concubine Gui, and the Eldest Princess has become Eldest Princess. The two are fighting the new emperor relying on their seniority and past accumulation. The situation is not good, but it is not too bad. I was a little nervous for a while.

The above two points are all related to the court, but now Zhong Shao can be regarded as wandering in the rivers and lakes, and has long been far away from the temple. Apart from the kinship, these news from the court actually have little to do with her.There was only one reason why she suddenly left everything behind and rushed to Anyang - I heard that the Duke's Mansion intends to recruit Su Mo's son-in-law!

This is not too unexpected news, because in order to avoid hurting Su Mo, Zhong Shao left a piece of paper and Li Shu, and asked someone to deliver it to the eldest princess himself.After all, with that piece of paper and Li Shu, she and Su Mo could no longer be considered husband and wife. Now that four years have passed and she has not heard from her again, it would not be surprising even if Su Mo remarried.

For a noble daughter from a family like Su Mo, even if she remarries, the son-in-law who proposes can still break through the threshold of the Duke's Mansion!

However, Zhong Shao didn't want to believe that Su Mo just gave up on her, and she couldn't let her go!So don't say that the arrest warrant has been withdrawn now, even if it hasn't, she has to go to Anyang no matter how big the risk is.

So after a quick meeting with Xu Wenjin, she rushed to the capital without stopping.

The caravan arrived at Yangguan at the end of September, Zhong Shao only stayed at Yangguan for two days, and then went to Anyang again.Yangguan was really not close to Anyang, so he traveled quickly for half a month. When Zhong Shao finally saw the tall city wall of Anyang again, it was already mid-October.

He hurried to Anyang, but he didn't dare to enter the city rashly.Even though the arrest warrant has been withdrawn now, there are too many acquaintances in Beijing, and Zhong Shao is afraid of causing other troubles.

Fortunately, now that Zhong Shao has rich experience in traveling abroad, he gave some money and borrowed with a farmer in the suburbs of Beijing.After a night's rest, I went out for a walk the next day, but I still didn't enter the city, but I went to some villages near Anyang.

In the evening, she waited in a broken house with air leaks everywhere, until the sky was getting dark, and some shadowy figures approached the broken house in the deep twilight.

There were more than a dozen people gathered outside the house, and only then did someone take a look into the dilapidated house.Seeing Zhong Shao, he shrunk his neck a little, hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Excuse me, are you the Young Master?"

Zhong Shao looked at the beggar who was poking his head and was silent. He was still uncomfortable with this title, but he didn't deny it, so he nodded and said, "That's right, come in. Zhong called all the brothers here for something. I want to ask you guys."

I don't know how Hong Ping developed. Now the scale of the beggar gang is getting bigger and bigger. Although it is not possible to pull a beggar on the street to be a member of the beggar gang, at least five of the ten are related to the beggar gang. .So for inquiring about news, the Beggars' Clan can be said to be more and more comfortable, and even people with connections or friendships now love to find out about the news from the Beggars' Clan disciples.

The dozen or so beggars gathered outside the door really relaxed after hearing the words, a group of people entered one by one, and the shabby house was packed up in no time.At the same time, what filled the house was the rotten smell that seemed to never be washed away from their bodies.

Fortunately, Zhong Shao has been walking in the desert for a few years, and now he is already used to the smell of sweat, but his face does not change.

Seeing that there was no disgust in Zhong Shao's eyes, the beggars felt more at ease.It's not that they are rare, it's just that the legendary young gang leader is handsome and majestic. He looks rich and noble, and he doesn't look like a beggar leader at all——Everyone glanced unconsciously at the Western Region bender on Zhong Shao's waist. The scabbard of the knife is inlaid with a few gems that can blind people's eyes!

I was inexplicably anxious, but someone asked: "What does the young leader want to know? If the brothers don't know, I will ask tomorrow."

Zhong Shao pursed his lips when he heard the words, raised his eyes and asked, "How much do you know about Su Mo, the only daughter of Duke Jing and Princess Yingyang?"

The beggars looked at each other, Zhong Shao waited patiently, and after a while, he got an answer: "If the young master asks other people, we don't know very well, but this Miss Su was specially ordered to pay attention by the old master. Just ask."

Zhong Shao pondered for a moment, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions, he just asked: "If I want to see her, can you help me?"

A group of beggars, and a noble daughter from a dignified family, what intersection can the two sides have?Even if Zhong Shao asks these beggars to help her secretly send a letter, it is not easy.But after hearing Zhong Shao's words, the beggars didn't have any embarrassment on their faces, and immediately someone laughed and said: "The time for the young master to come is just right, and in three days, Miss Su will go to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense. The young master is here Just wait there."

After three days, go to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense?

************************************************** ************

There is a big difference in climate between Anyang and the deserts of the Western Regions. The desert was still extremely hot a month ago, but one month later when I arrived in Anyang, I found that the first snow had fallen here, and winter had already entered.

Zhong Shao was on his way all the time, but he didn't pay attention to the time, nor did he care much about the change of seasons.The members of the beggar gang said that Su Mo would go to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense in three days, so she waited patiently for three days.

Early in the morning three days later, Zhong Shao rushed to Xiangguo Temple.It snowed again last night, the road up the mountain was not easy to walk, and it was not a day like the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year to go to incense and worship Buddha, there was no one on the mountain road leading to Xiangguo Temple except her.

The light snow is still falling one after another, but Zhong Shao no longer has the interest to stop in the mountains and enjoy the snow with an umbrella when he was young.She was wearing a bamboo hat and a cloak wrapped around her body, and the wind and snow were blocked out, but this outfit was neither gorgeous nor rich, it looked ordinary and tight, and the only person around her who could attract attention was probably only her. The black horse that was riding.

Zhong Shao led the horse and walked slowly towards Xiangguo Temple, step by step in no hurry, because judging from the opening time of the capital city gate, she would obviously arrive earlier than Su Mo's carriage.Before meeting Su Mo, she felt that she still needed to sort out her thoughts and calm down.

After a four-year separation, the feeling of being close to the country is timid, and the feeling of being close to people is even more timid!

In a world of ice and snow, the cold wind blows towards the face with fine snow, taking away the warmth of the body, but it can't cool the restless mood.

Zhong Shao walked all the way, thought all the way, and felt that he had thought a lot, but also felt that his mind was empty, as if he hadn't thought about anything.When he looked up in a daze, he found that Xiangguo Temple had already arrived.

In this weather, usually there are no pilgrims coming, but the grand gate of Xiangguo Temple is still open, and there are two young monks cleaning the snow at the gate.The snow was not too thick, but the open space in front of Xiangguo Temple was not small, so after sweeping for a while, my hands were too cold, so I could only let go of the broom and breathe into my palms to warm them up, while bringing A white mist...

The arrival of one person and one horse obviously alarmed the two young novice monks, one of them quickly put down the broom in his hand, and went up to greet him, then saluted Zhong Shao and asked, "Is the benefactor here to offer incense?"

Zhong Shao nodded, answered "Yes", thought for a while, and asked again: "I haven't seen anyone else along the way, have I been here for a long time, and is Xiangguo Temple receiving pilgrims today?"

The little novice just smiled: "The monks open the door for convenience, not to mention offering incense and worshiping Buddha, so they are naturally received. It's just that the almsgiver came early, and our temple has just opened, and other pilgrims will come later. arrived."

As soon as Zhong Shao heard his words, he knew that there would indeed be someone coming later.She made up her mind and was about to follow the guidance of the little novice towards the gate of the temple when she suddenly thought of something, paused her footsteps, and asked, "Little master, I just came back from another place. Hastily forgotten the time, I don’t know what day it is now?”

This question was asked abruptly, but the little novice didn't ask too much, just replied: "Back to the benefactor, today is October 21st."

October 21?It really is October 21!

Zhong Shao stayed where he was, and was in a daze for a while, as if his thoughts were flying far away.Until the little novice next to him heard a questioning voice: "Benefactor?"

Called back to his senses by this sound, Zhong Shao pursed his lips, forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I'll trouble the little master to lead the way."

The little novice nodded, but did not go any further. Instead, he looked at the horse led by Zhong Shao and said, "Almsgiver, let this horse be handed over to the little monk, and take it to the back of the temple for placement."

Zhong Shao came back to his senses completely, and smiled apologetically: "I was rude, thank you little master."

The little novice replied, "The benefactor is very polite", took the reins, and handed the horse to another little novice who was cleaning. Come, little monk."

Zhong Shao agreed, and before entering the gate, he turned his head and looked behind him - on the mountain road, there were two rows of footprints of one man and one horse left alone in the snow, and there were still no carriages and horses in the distance.
