The next day, the four of them had breakfast in the lobby. Jiang Ling looked at the sleepy three and asked suspiciously:

"What's the matter with you? You look listless. Did you not rest last night?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him one after another.But he saw that his face was radiant, and he was eating breakfast vigorously.

Leaving aside the affection in the hearts of a few people, as long as the hard and narrow bed is squeezed between two people, if they can sleep well, then they can be regarded as really powerful people.In order not to squeeze Li Zhenwu, Tang Qingfeng slept on his side all night, and Li Zhenwu did the same. When the two woke up the next day, they almost squeezed each other out of the bed. Fortunately, Li Zhenwu reached out to stop him, otherwise Tang Qingfeng would definitely fall. .

But Jiang Ling didn't care so much, because it was very crowded, he hugged Lu Qing like a quilt, and slept until dawn, which made Lu Qing not sleep well all night, and got up early.

Li Zhenwu and Tang Qingfeng looked at Jiang Ling with doubts on their faces, and it was hard to imagine how he slept well.Lu Qing gave him a cold look, then continued to eat breakfast.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ling asked.

"It's nothing." Tang Qingfeng didn't want to continue this topic, and then looked at the crowd and said, "After breakfast, let's go to the Great Sage Heavenly King Secret Temple."

"Okay." Everyone nodded in agreement.

A few people finished their breakfast and walked out of the inn.After asking some passers-by, under the guidance of passers-by, I came to the gate of the Great Sage Heavenly King Secret Temple.

The temple is very large, surrounded by stone walls several feet high, and it is impossible to see the situation inside. Outside the gate, there are a few people wearing light gauze, wearing pointed hats on their heads, and holding big knives.They are guarding the temple meticulously to prevent outsiders from entering.

After Tang Qingfeng took a look, he led everyone forward and said:

"I'm coming from Dazhou, and I want to meet Zen Master Dasheng Tianwang of your temple. Please pass it on to all masters."

The guarding master glanced at Tang Qingfeng and the others, and refused:

"This temple does not accept outsiders, nor does Zen Master Dasheng Tianwang. Please come back."

"What?! The Great Sage Heavenly King Secret Temple is a temple in the Mara Kingdom, so why doesn't it accept foreigners?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Because it's a national temple, we don't accept foreigners. Go away, or don't blame us for driving people away." The master replied.

Jiang Ling looked at the master at the door with an incomprehensible face,

At this time, Tang Qingfeng said:

"Sorry, we were abrupt, we're leaving now."

Tang Qingfeng said and left the place with a few people.

The crowd stood not far from the temple. Jiang Ling looked at the temple and asked puzzledly:

"It's really strange. Since it is a national temple, why not let it in? I can enter Dazhou National Temple casually."

"Maybe the customs are different." Li Zhenwu said.

"Perhaps, there is some secret." Tang Qingfeng said.

"What secret?" Lu Qing asked.

"I don't know, I just have a feeling." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Then what should we do? If we don't let them in, how can we get the magic weapon book?" Jiang Ling asked.

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go back first, and then make plans." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay" several people nodded in agreement.Just as he was about to go back, Jiang Ling suddenly discovered that the young man had sneaked in from behind the temple yesterday. Everyone waited for a long time before he sneaked out from the temple again.

"Old Tang." Jiang Ling said.

"Follow him." Tang Qingfeng said.

"En." Everyone returned, and then quietly followed the young man from yesterday.

After the young man came out of the temple, he made several turns on the street, and then entered a large house. He took out a few pieces of imitation jade from the house, and was about to go out, but Jiang Ling blocked the door .

"Where are you going in a hurry?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Of course I went to sell the goods." The young man looked at the imitation jade, carefully checking whether there was any problem, and did not look up.

"Heh, I think you are trying to deceive people. Hurry up and give me back the three thousand guan yesterday!" Jiang Ling grabbed his arm to prevent him from escaping.

He looked up and saw Jiang Ling and the others, he threw down the jade and punched Jiang Ling with his palm, Jiang Ling met his attack with a punch and knocked him back several steps.

"What do you want to do?" asked the young man.

Tang Qingfeng looked at him and said:

"It's nothing, I want to ask you something."

The young man glanced at everyone, and then said:

"What's the matter, come in and say."

Several people took a look and walked into the house.

Everyone sat on the carpet in the young man's house, the young man looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Ask what you want to ask? The money will not be refunded to you."

"What?!" Jiang Ling said angrily.

"The money has been paid in taxes, and there are still some spent." The young man said.

"So much money can be spent in one day, what did you buy?" Jiang Ling asked in confusion.

"You don't care." The young man said. "Are there any other questions? I can go out without you."

"What are you doing in the temple?" Tang Qingfeng looked at him and asked slowly.

The young man looked at Tang Qingfeng in surprise, then lowered his eyes and said, "This is my private matter and has nothing to do with you."

"Really? If I tell the guards at the gate about this, I don't know how they will react." Tang Qingfeng said.

"You!" The young man looked at Tang Qingfeng, then sighed deeply:

"I'm going to meet important people."

"Who?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

The young man glanced at him and replied, "Prince Cidan."

"Huh?" Tang Qingfeng looked at the young man suspiciously. The young man looked at the crowd, and after a moment of contemplation, he said slowly:

"I can tell you, but you have to promise me one request."

"Tell me." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Help me save the prince," said the young man.

Tang Qingfeng thought for a while, then returned: "Okay, you have to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?" asked the young man.

"Take us into the temple." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"What are you doing in the temple?" the young man asked.

"This is our private matter." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay." The young man nodded.

"Well, let's talk." Tang Qingfeng said.

The young man looked at him and said slowly:

"The country of Moro is a theocratic country. It has always been managed by King Moro and the Great Sage King, ruling the entire country. However, ten years ago, King Moro died suddenly, leaving behind the young prince Dan and the just-adult princess Yangma, the Great Sage Heavenly King raised him in the secret temple because the prince was young, and he himself took charge of the entire Mara kingdom in the name of King Mara and lived in the palace."

"His approach doesn't seem to be a problem. You Moro people seem to be doing well under his management. Why did you save the prince?" Li Zhenwu asked.

The young man looked at him, and then said angrily:

"Humph, are you doing well? In the eyes of outsiders like you, we are doing well, but do you know what price we paid for it? The entire Moro Kingdom is a believer in the Great Sage Heavenly King. Once born, We are in debt to the Great Sage Heavenly King. The Great Sage Heavenly King is a man bestowed by heaven. We look like his believers, but in fact we are all his slaves. The Great Sage Heavenly King preached to the people that only by working hard in this life can the Great Sage Heavenly King Bless us to enjoy happiness in the next life. Everyone listened to his nonsense, worked hard every day, and paid more than half of the money earned in taxes, leaving only a little bit for their daily needs.”

"You guys seem to be eating very well, a little money should be enough," Jiang Ling said.

"What do you know?!" the young man said angrily:

"How can that little money be enough? The money for food and clothing is all borrowed from the Great Sage Heavenly King, and there is a lot of interest every day. If you don't pay it back within the stipulated time limit, after the interest rolls on, you will not be able to pay it all your life.

The Great Sage Heavenly King also knew that this would happen, so he specifically allowed the people to use their descendants to pay back.The people just borrow money, owe debts, work hard day and night, and are exploited by the Great Sage King without knowing it. They are grateful to him, but they don’t know that their descendants have become slaves of others! "

Tang Qingfeng looked at him sympathetically and asked:

"What does this have to do with your saving the prince?"

The young man glanced at Tang Qingfeng, and said slowly:

"My name is Aka. There are many people who are awakened like me. We want to rescue the prince, overthrow the rule of the Great Sage Heavenly King, and return the people to freedom!"

"I see." Tang Qingfeng said. "What are your plans?"

"When the Great Sage Heavenly King celebrates his birthday, a grand celebration will be held at the Great Sage Heavenly King's Secret Temple. I have made an appointment with everyone, and I will join the grand event on that day, assassinate the Great Sage Heavenly King, and then return the rights to the prince Zidan. The royal family also promised us , will destroy the debts and give the people freedom!" Aka said.

"Yes." Tang Qingfeng nodded and said, "What do you think of us?"

"On the day of our birthday, we don't care about the prince. You are very skilled in martial arts. I ask you to protect the prince and rescue him from the temple. If we succeed, the prince will be able to take power. If we fail, the prince can save his life so that he can make a comeback in the future." Aka road.

"You guys are thoughtful." Tang Qingfeng said.

"For the great cause, for the sake of the people, we have to be thoughtful." Aka said.

"I thought you were a liar, but I didn't expect you to be such a righteous person." Jiang Ling admired.

"I'm sorry, I, Aka, am just an ordinary person, and I only do what ordinary people should do." Aka replied, and then said to Tang Qingfeng:

"The big birthday is about to start in two days. For these two days, you can stay at my house. I still have a lot of things to discuss with you."

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng nodded in response.

After Aka took them to their respective rooms, they went out.He said that he was going to discuss the assassination with other people, and asked everyone to wait in the room, and he would inform them of the results of the discussion when he came back.

When everyone came to Tang Qingfeng's room, Jiang Ling asked:

"Old Tang, how credible are his words?"

"Nine points." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Huh?" Jiang Ling asked.

"He seems to be hiding something. For example, how did he know the prince? Why did the prince believe what he said?" Tang Qingfeng said.

"That's right! How did he know the prince?" Jiang Ling suddenly realized.

"How do I know?" Tang Qingfeng said with a blank look at him.

"Then us?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Look at the situation first, and then make plans." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay." Jiang Ling replied.

"Well, go and rest. Everyone didn't have a good rest yesterday. Before he comes back, take a good rest." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay." Li Zhenwu and Lu Qing returned.

Jiang Ling looked at the three of them, and said doubtfully, "I rested well, and I'm not tired at all. How can I rest now?"

"If you don't want to rest, go to the door and wait for A-Ka to come back." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay." After Jiang Ling finished speaking, he walked out the door.Li Zhenwu and Lu Qing also went back to their rooms to rest.
