Chapter 1116: Escaped, childrens marriage

Baohua Temple is very large and has a rich Buddhist cultural heritage of thousands of years. Therefore, the scenery of the temple is very good and there are many highly ornamental buildings.

Mo Yan and the others watched with great interest. If there was anything they didnt understand or missed, the little novice who acted as a guide would explain it to them in detail. But there were too many attractive sights. They still couldn't see the entire temple before dark, so they had to go back temporarily and planned to continue shopping tomorrow.

Back to the Zen room where she was, Mo Yan grabbed Xin'er who was about to rush into her parents' room, and whispered: "The door is closed. I'm afraid my parents are still sleeping. If you go in, you will wake them up."

Xin'er stuck out her tongue and quickly stepped back: "I forgot, but we have dinner later. Can we wake up my parents?"

Just as Mo Yan was about to speak, the door was opened from the inside, and she saw her father's face that had just woken up, with a hint of hazyness. She blurted out: "Dad, you didn't do anything, did you?"

Mo Qingze didn't react at first, but when he understood what his daughter meant, his face turned dark. He wanted to give him a lesson, but when he thought that there was an "outsider" here, he swallowed the lesson and said, "Dad is tired too, can't you take a nap?"

"Okay, okay, why can't this be okay?" Knowing that he said something wrong, Mo Yan quickly made amends and said flatteringly: "Then let mother continue to sleep. It doesn't matter if you missed dinner. You can borrow the kitchen in the temple for the night and I will give it to you myself. Mom, make some millet porridge to nourish your stomach, and fry two light side dishes."

Mo Qingze was satisfied, patted his daughter on the shoulder and said, "Your mother likes mushroom soup, and she also likes stir-fried cabbage hearts. These are the two dishes."

Mo Yan smacked her tongue. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, her father even knew her mother's preferences and "instructed" her daughter without any burden. Could it be that her status in her father's heart was about to be lost?

Ah ah ah, its only been a few days!

Being caught off guard, she was stuffed with a large bag of dog food. Mo Yan touched her clogged chest and looked at Xiao Ruiyuan beside her with dissatisfaction: This guy never seems to pay attention to what she likes to eat and what she doesn't like to eat...

Xiao Ruiyuan, who was lying on the gun for no apparent reason:

After eating the fast meal, the aftereffects of hiking during the day began to show up, and even Mo Yan fell asleep earlier than before. After eating the fast meal, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Mo Yan just wanted to have a good sleep, so she told Xue Tuanzi and fell on the bed. Before going to bed, she always felt that she had forgotten something, but her mind was already confused and she couldn't think of a reason, so she simply gave up, closed her eyes and fell asleep the next moment.

Outside the door, the six beasts lay down one by one. They were too big to be accommodated in the small Zen room, and they were unwilling to go into the space, so they lay under the eaves. The temperature is not too low right now, and I don't feel cold even if we lie together.

The moon's shadow was slanting to the west, and in the middle of the night, a **** bird flew from the distant sky. It hovered in the sky for a while, and then swooped down towards the Zen room where the Mo family was.

The sound of breaking through the air suddenly woke up the six beasts under the eaves. They stood up vigilantly and looked sharply into the air. Soon, the big bird landed in the yard, but it was a "familiar bird".

Maomao came over in the middle of the night. Naturally, he had something urgent to do. He had no time to pay attention to these six "cooked beasts" and scratched Xiao Ruiyuan's door with his sharp claws.

Xiao Ruiyuan has always been a light sleeper, and he will not fall asleep easily in a strange place. He almost woke up when he heard the first scratching sound on the door. He put on his clothes neatly, opened the door and saw Maomao holding out the mailbox tied to his leg.

Xiao Ruiyuan frowned, reached out and took out the letter from the mailbox, then turned back to the house and lit the oil lamp with a fire stick.

The letter was written by Xiao Shiyi. It was only a short sentence, but Xiao Ruiyuan's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up suddenly and walked out of the house. He stopped just as he reached the door. He thought about it and returned to the house. He found pen and ink and added a line of words at the back of the letter. Then he folded it and handed it to Dabai under the eaves. He whispered in a low voice: "Wait for Yan. When my daughter wakes up, give this to her."

Dabais ears twitched, and he took the letter handed over by Xiao Ruiyuan with his mouth. He nodded at him to indicate that he understood.

Xiao Ruiyuan patted its head, looked at Mo Yan's closed door, and then led Maomao quickly towards the temple gate...

The first ray of sunlight in the morning slowly shone on the window sill and into the room through the gap in the window. The ray of sunlight slowly shifted and finally fell on Mo Yan's eyes, waking her up from her deep sleep.

After putting on clothes and combing her hair, Mo Yan opened the door and saw the letter in Dabai's mouth. She took it doubtfully, opened it, and her expression suddenly changed. She rushed to the meditation room where Xiao Ruiyuan was, and sure enough she saw that it was empty, with not a single person in sight.

At this time, Mo Qingze also woke up. He opened the door and stood under the eaves. He saw the eldest daughter standing in front of the prospective son-in-law's room with a piece of paper in her hand. Her face looked very ugly, so he walked over and asked. Said: "What's wrong?"

He glanced around the open room. There was no one in the room, and Mo Qingze's doubts deepened.

Mo Yan handed the letter to Mo Qingze. When Mo Qingze saw it, his expression also changed: "A foreigner's work? When did this happen?"

Mo Qingze worked in the Hanlin Academy, where the information was not very well-informed, and they were even less aware of some major military and political events that were not suitable to be spread. This time, the Hanlin Academy didn't even hear the slightest news about the arrest of a foreign craftsman, and Mo Qingze didn't even know about it.

Knowing that his father knew the rules and would not talk about it outside, Mo Yan simply said it again, a little worried: "Those small things are not a good thing. If you escape from the prison and return to your home country, it will be fine. If you are ambushed in In the dark, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against Brother Xiao is what happened."

Just last night, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, where enemy spies were imprisoned, suddenly broke down and a fire broke out. These spies took advantage of the chaos and killed many prison guards. Most of them escaped successfully, and the remaining ones who were caught committed suicide in prison.

"The prison of the Ministry of Justice is extremely tight. How could a fire break out in the middle of the night? It is obviously the work of these secret workers." Mo Qingze analyzed: "I am afraid that those secret workers have been hidden now and are trying to sneak out of the capital so that they can get the information." If it is passed back, it is unlikely that he will retaliate against Hanzhang, and with Hanzhang's ability, what can a few tricks do to him? Don't worry, Yan'er."

After listening to his fathers analysis, Mo Yans nervous mood relaxed a lot. Her relationship was chaotic, and she was always afraid that Xiao Ruiyuan would change his fate of early death and encounter other dangers. That's why she lost her former calmness after learning that the enemy's secret agent had escaped.

She looked at her father with some embarrassment and said with a smile: "Dad, your analysis is correct. My daughter is too impatient."

Mo Qingze touched his daughter's head and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Now that he is always in front of you, you are so worried. If he gives up the battlefield in the future, you will have to worry that you can't eat or sleep at night? "

Mo Yan understood what his father meant and smiled bitterly: "This is your son-in-law's responsibility. Even if your daughter is worried, she cannot change this fact. Can you not let him go?"

Ever since she identified this person, she was prepared to be frightened. It was only when she really started to face such things that she realized that she had overestimated her ability to bear it.

Mo Qingze felt so sad when he saw his daughter like this that he suddenly regretted agreeing to this marriage so rashly. This was one of the reasons why he was not optimistic about this son-in-law. He was afraid that one day his son-in-law would go to war, leaving his daughter alone at home, frightened and without peace.

But as a general, once there is a war in the court, he must be the first to rush to the front. Although sitting in this position does not necessarily mean fighting on the battlefield, the danger is not reduced, and one must always have a sword in the dark.

For his three children, he did not want them to get ahead or marry into a high family and live a lifetime of wealth and wealth. He only wanted them to live a peaceful and peaceful life.

Seeing that her father's expression was not good, Mo Yan quickly calmed down her gloomy mood, cheered up and said, "Dad, we can't control this matter. It's useless to think about it here. As you said yourself, your son-in-law is great. Now, lets take advantage of the nice weather and have fun as a family. Maybe when were done, we can go back and those things will be settled.

Mo Qingze also put away his regrets and said with a smile: "You are right to think so. This Baohua Temple is our first stop, and there are several places that are better than here."

Well, listen to dad.

There was a fire in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and nearly thirty foreigners escaped. Fortunately, the head of the Ministry of Punishment responded in time and went to the palace overnight to plead guilty to Emperor Hui'an, and asked Emperor Hui'an to seal the city gate and search for Xizuo's whereabouts.

Escaped from the enemy, Emperor Hui'an was furious. Regardless of punishing the officials of the Ministry of Justice who had failed in their duties, he decisively ordered 800 elite soldiers to be stationed at the four major city gates to conduct interrogations of the people coming in and out. He also sent another 1,000 elite soldiers to cooperate with the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to carry out carpet sweeps in the city. search.

However, this group of craftsmen seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no trace could be found. The people stationed at the city gate to check the passing people could not find any clues. If the city gate had not been opened at night, and no other comrades could leave the city, almost It makes people think that these details have escaped.

Xiao Ruiyuan, who rushed back to the city overnight after receiving the news, was invited to the Prince's Mansion by Chu Heng's people. This matter is too involved, and if those details cannot be found, the secret of making muskets is in danger of being exposed, which is very dangerous for Da Chu.

What do you think about this matter? Chu Heng asked solemnly.

Xiao Ruiyuan said in a deep voice: "Those who were able to escape without a trace were missing. They obviously had premeditated plans. They either have accomplices who have not been caught, or they have colluded with people from the Ministry of Punishment or the court."

Otherwise, where does the source of arson come from? Why could they disappear in such a short period of time after escaping from the chaos, and even a search could not find them?

Chu Heng obviously thought so too, and was not surprised at all by Xiao Ruiyuan's answer: "Last night, my father secretly sent people to interrogate the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, and closely monitored several suspected ministers. Nothing happened." It was discovered that my father was more inclined to plan this matter without being caught."

Xiao Ruiyuan's eyebrows moved. He was more inclined to think that someone in the court was colluding with a foreigner. However, this person was hidden too deeply, and he couldn't figure out who it was for a while.

Chu Heng did not miss the slightest bit of strangeness in Xiao Ruiyuan, and said with a smile: "It seems that you and I have thought of the same thing. Even if there is a spy outside to help, they can hide quickly without letting anyone notice, but they can't do it. of."

Xiao Ruiyuan nodded and asked, "I wonder if my cousin has any doubts?"

Chu Heng shook his head slowly: "Until I find conclusive evidence, I can't be sure who it is." Because of this, it will be troublesome to investigate. Even if someone has someone to monitor all the ministers in the court, it may not be possible. it works.

"As long as the person is found, the person behind the scenes will have nowhere to hide." Xiao Ruiyuan is not very worried about finding the person. Under the search of many elite soldiers, he does not believe that those people can escape. At the moment, he is trying to be patient with the other party.

Chu Heng nodded, that was all he could do for now.

"By the way, cousin," Xiao Ruiyuan thought of another thing and reminded: "In a few days, it will be the emperor's grandson's full moon ceremony, and there will inevitably be many people there, so my cousin will send as many people as possible to garrison the prince's mansion. "

Hearing this, Chu Heng thought of some possibility, looked stern, and adopted his cousin's suggestion.

It was already bright when we came out of the Prince's Mansion. As soon as Xiao Ruiyuan returned to the General's Mansion, Emperor Hui'an's oral instructions came. He freshened up a little and put on formal clothes before entering the palace with the **** who was delivering the decree.

Since he is still on vacation, Xiao Ruiyuan does not need to go to the morning court. By the time he arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Hui'an had already finished his morning dynasty and was reviewing the memorials.

"What do you think of this matter?" Emperor Hui'an put down his pen and asked straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent and has no clue yet." Xiao Ruiyuan replied, facing Emperor Hui'an, his attitude should be much more cautious.

Emperor Hui'an seemed a little dissatisfied with this answer. He glanced at Xiao Ruiyuan and said, "Ai Qing originally caught those details. I think Ai Qing knows their behavior better than others. I accidentally let them escape this time. How to find them?" , I will leave this matter to Aiqing."

Xiao Ruiyuan was speechless, unable to refuse Emperor Hui'an's order, so he clasped his fists and said, "I obey the order." But in his heart, it was a pity that a good vacation was gone.

After talking about the business, Emperor Hui'an looked less majestic. His eyes towards Xiao Ruiyuan even revealed a bit of elders' kindness: "You are not young anymore. When are you going to marry He Jiaguo?"

Xiao Ruiyuan did not expect that Emperor Hui'an would ask about this. Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but his face did not change: "If there is no accident, I will marry He Jiaguan next year."

"Next year? It will be very soon!" Emperor Hui'an seemed very happy and said half-truth: "If you can get married at the beginning of the year, you might be able to hold a child at the end of the year. If it is a boy, he can grow up with Yao'er. If she is a daughter, I will give her to Yao'er as my wife."

The Yaoer Emperor Hui'an mentioned was Chu Heng's eldest son who was about to be one month old. His name was Chengyao and he was chosen by Emperor Hui'an himself. Yao was an ancient emperor with extraordinary qualities and talents. It can be seen that Emperor Hui'an had full expectations for his eldest grandson.

These words were said by Chu Heng to Xiao Ruiyuan who came to express his congratulations when he hugged the emperor's eldest grandson with great excitement. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sincerely hopes that his cousin can have a son to be his son's companion and grow up together with him. It would be even better if she could have another daughter, who could be his son's wife.

Xiao Ruiyuan knew that Chu Heng's words were sincere, but he did not intend to let his unborn child get involved in the troubled royal family, especially his daughter. Even if this eldest grandson could inherit the throne in the future, he would not Will agree.

After Chu Heng raised this matter, Xiao Ruiyuan refused directly without even saying the reason. He believed that his cousin would know better, but now Emperor Hui'an actually had such thoughts. His heart skipped a beat and he tensed up in front of outsiders. The flat face finally changed...

Mo Yan, who was still playing in Baohua Temple, didn't know that before she got married, someone was already thinking about her invisible child. These two were still the most powerful men in Dachu. If she were to find out, she would be I have no intention of traveling around at all.

"Sister, we are leaving Baohua Temple in the afternoon. Do you know where dad is taking us?" Xiner asked while sitting by the stream, playing with a yellow branch in the water and tickling the hairballs. elder sister.

Mo Yan scratched Mao Tuan for a long time, and her wrists were a little sore. After hearing what her sister said, she was about to take the opportunity to retract her hand. Mao Tuan moved faster, stretching out two fluffy paws to hug her hand. , the originally squinted tiger eyes widened, signaling her not to stop.

"You lazy guy has enjoyed it for long enough, why can't you let me take a break?" Mo Yan patted the hairball's head angrily, asking him to let go of his paws.

Ouch! The fur ball refused to obey, still holding it and refusing to spread its paws, but did not ask Mo Yan to continue tickling it.

Plop! Xiner was amused by the naughty look of Hair Ball and said with a laugh: I think it just wants to cling to you! If you dont want it to be so clingy, you have to call your brother-in-law.

Ever since Xue Tuanzi revealed something that Mao Tuan had been unwilling to face, Mao Tuan had completely disliked Xiao Ruiyuan. It knew that it couldn't compete with this person for favor, so it simply didn't look at him, out of sight and out of mind.

Every time Xiao Ruiyuan is in front of Mo Yan, the hair ball stays far away; when Xiao Ruiyuan is not around, it is like a sticky piece of brown candy, following Mo Yan every step of the way.

Xiao Ruiyuan left suddenly, and he was the happiest thing about it. The other five beasts all ran to the surrounding hills to have fun, bullying the native beasts. It was better for it to follow Mo Yan and act coquettishly whenever the opportunity arose.

The change in Hairball is so obvious that even if you dont know what Hairball is thinking, anyone with eyes can guess it after seeing it.

Hearing his sister's joking words, Mo Yan felt helpless: "This guy is old enough to have a wife. When I get back, I will go to the mountains to look for him."

Tiger usually matures at the age of three. Hairball is already over three years old, so you can indeed find one.

As soon as he heard that he was looking for a wife, the hairball that had been lying down suddenly became hairy. He suddenly stood up and stared at Mo Yan angrily!

Phew~ If nothing unexpected happens, the finale will be out around the 20th. I dont have time to write a fat chapter for the finale, so it will probably be divided into about five chapters, and there will be some extra chapters, but I will catch up on the extra chapters to make them more interesting, haha O(_ ) O
