Chapter 338: Xunshan Temple

Chapter 338 Xunshan Temple

Zhao Neng gently lifted the tiles to find out, but after the tiles were lifted, he found that they were in the blind spot from the perspective of the tiles, which happened to be where he could not see.

Zhao Neng could only cover the tiles, and when he found the right position to check, he found a movement behind him.

He turned his head quickly, and saw the movement from the hidden guard, who was gesturing to him, indicating that someone was coming this way.

Zhao Neng could only leave first.

By the time Zhao Neng came back, Zhang Gang had already left the house with He Shouyi.

Zhang Gang still took He Shouyi for a walk around the street, and finally the carriage stopped at a street corner.

After He Shouyi got off the carriage, Zhang Gang left in the car.

Zhao can let the dark guard follow He Shouyi, pay attention to whether there is anyone following him behind him, and he takes a few people to chase Zhang Gang.

He Shouyi walked back to the palace by himself.

After returning home, He Shouyi passed by Zhang Shuming. Zhang Shuming glanced at him, gave him a look, and left by mistake.

He Shouyi did not go to report the situation to Su Ying immediately, but returned to his residence immediately and fell asleep.

"bang, bang, bang"

The bang sounded in the middle of the night.

He Shouyi's figure appeared in Su Ying's room.

He Shouyi's figure was almost hidden in the darkness, "My lord, my concubine, the other party has given me a mission today. They want me to lead her to Xunshan Temple outside the city in three days."

Su Ying sat on the bed, her figure flickered behind the bed curtain, "What about after that?"

"They said they would set up an ambush over there to capture the princess."

"Catch me? Want my life?"

"Guessing from the meaning in Zhang Gang's words, this is probably the plan."

The other party wants to catch her and kill her, and she thinks this is within reason.

"Princess, do you want to go?"

"Of course, they made such a plan, either because they are fully sure that they can catch me, or they want to test whether you can use it. I will go and see."

He Shouyi saw that Su Ying had made a decision and didn't say anything else, "Yes."

"Don't show any flaws, just deal with them well."

"I see."

After explaining the matter clearly, He Shouyi left.

"Just in case, I will go with you when the time comes."

"Follow me. If something happens in the middle of the capital when they transfer the tiger away, you won't be able to deal with it immediately. It's safer for you to stay in the city."

Xiao Jin frowned again, "Okay, I'll have someone follow you secretly."

Su Ying didn't refuse either, lest he be overwhelmed.

"good."

Early the next morning, Zhao Neng, who was following Zhang Gang, came back.

"My lord, after He Shouyi separated from Zhang Gang last night, my subordinates led people to chase them all the way, and found that he had entered a private house, but he never came out after entering. The subordinates were worried about being discovered, so they dared to Guarding outside the courtyard, no one was found coming out. After dawn, the subordinate asked the hidden guards to continue guarding, and he came back first."

Xiao Jin said "hmm", "Did you hear what they said yesterday?"

Zhao Neng frowned, "At the beginning, Zhang Gang covered He Shouyi with a hood and walked him outside and then returned to the original yard. Then his subordinates heard the voices of three people, and when they wanted to see each other clearly , the dark guard found something unusual, and his subordinates left, and when they went back, He Shouyi and the others had already come out."

"This is to guard against us. There may be a secret passage in the house where Zhang Gang is staying. You should find a chance to go in and check."

"The subordinate understands."

"My lord, my subordinates have received news that Ma Wang will go to Beijing in a few days, saying that it is to celebrate the queen mother's birthday."

"The emperor's will?"

"No, Ma Wang took the initiative to write a letter requesting to go to Beijing."

"oh?"

After King Ma arrived in the fiefdom, he would not go to Beijing without an edict. Even if there was an edict sometimes, he would try to find a way to delay his coming. The Queen Mother’s birthday comes every year, so why didn’t he come before.

"Let them concentrate on collecting news from Mawang City to see if there is any change in Mawang."

"The subordinate understands."

Xiao Jin stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, watching the wind and clouds in the sky, his dark pupils sank slightly.

It seems that there are more than one pair of hands who are going to muddy the pool of water in the capital.

Three days later, Su Ying prepared to go to Xunshan Temple after breakfast.

Last night, He Shouyi sent a letter to Zhang Gang, informing him that Su Ying would be there today.

Today Xiao Jin didn’t go to the Imperial Army Yamen, but stayed with his two children at the mansion.

"Aniang, when are you coming back?" Dabao asked seeing that Su Ying was about to leave.

"Aniang will go to burn incense sticks, pray for the blessing of Buddha, and come back soon."

Dabao looked surprised, when did A Niang believe in Buddhism?

Su Ying got on the carriage and drove away under Dabao's astonished eyes.

Xiao Jin took the two children directly to the training ground to check the effect of their practice during this period.

"My lord, someone from Zhen Guogong's mansion sent me a post, saying that I would like to invite my lord to visit the mansion at noon." The attendants took the post and went to Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin took the post and looked at it. It was written in the handwriting of Lord Zhen Guo’s mansion. That’s right. Lord Zhen Guo said that he would take Fu Zheng to the border tomorrow, and hoped to have a meal with him before leaving.

The post actually invited not only Xiao Jin alone, but Xiao Jin's family of four.

Xiao Jin looked at the post and frowned slightly. Rather than saying that Duke Zhen is his mentor, it would be better to say that he felt like a strict father for a long time, although he never mentioned it to him. .

In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't take the initiative to contact Duke Zhen after he returned to Beijing, and he didn't know if the old man was sad.

Xiao Jin closed the post, planning to take the two children to the Zhen Guogong Mansion.

On the other side, Su Ying also left the city gate and came to the foot of Xunshan Mountain.

Xunshan Temple is on the mountainside of Xunshan Mountain. Because it is not the largest temple in central Beijing, there are not many people who come to it, so the road to the mountain has not been repaired, and the carriage cannot go up. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to walk up the mountain by yourself.

Su Ying got off the carriage and asked the coachman to wait at the foot of the mountain, while she went up the mountain with a few guards.

At this time, her every move was watched by the person hiding in the dark. Seeing that she just brought a few guards, the person immediately went towards the temple.

It took Su Ying two quarters of an hour to walk outside the temple.

Today is not the first day of junior high school, nor is it the fifteenth day of junior high school. There is not even anyone outside.

The guard stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the temple.

Not long after, a young monk opened the locked door.

The little monk looked at Su Ying suspiciously, "Is this female benefactor here to offer incense?"

"right."

The little novice monk opened the door and let her in.

The courtyard in the temple was very empty. In front of the temple in the middle was an incense burner, which was filled with incense sticks. There were incense sticks coming out from far away, and a thick scent of incense instantly filled the nostrils.

There was nothing unusual at first, but soon, the guard following her coughed violently.
