Chapter 309

   The guards were busy handing over the water, and another guard brought a chair and asked Shao Mingyuan to sit.

  Shao Mingyuan didn't sit down, he took the water bottle and leaned against the mountain wall to pour a few mouthfuls, letting the leaked water flow down his neck and into his collar without caring.

   He drank it in one breath, looked around, and his eyes fell somewhere.

   "Master Hou." Jiang Yuanchao stood there and greeted with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

   Shao Mingyuan threw the kettle to the guard beside him, and said lightly, "Mr. Jiang."

   Jiang Yuanchao walked towards Shao Mingyuan, and the guards stopped him immediately.

   "What do you mean, Lord Hou?"

   "Don't be rude, please come here, Lord Jiang."

  The guards dispersed immediately, Jiang Yuan walked over without changing his face, looked at Shao Mingyuan, smiled and said, "I heard that Lord Hou went up the mountain yesterday, I really admire Lord Hou's good skills."

   "Master Jiang has won the prize." Shao Mingyuan adjusted his breathing silently.

   "Have you been to Dafu Temple? The Holy Master and the Empress Dowager are very concerned about the situation of the eminent monks of Dafu Temple and Shi Tai Shuying'an." Jiang Yuan came to Daoming.

   Shao Mingyuan was wearing the uniform prepared by Dafu Temple for the pilgrims.

   At this time, several officials also ran over sweating profusely. After seeing the ceremony, they asked Shao Mingyuan the same question: "Master Hou, how are Dafu Temple and Shuying Nunnery?"

   "A side hall of Dafu Temple collapsed, and more than ten monks were injured. Fortunately, no one was injured. At present, the lives of the eminent monks are not serious. Everything is fine at Shuying Temple."

   "That's good, that's good." Several officials wiped away sweat.

  The news of the landslide of Luoxia Mountain came into the palace, and the Queen Mother had already passed on three times in a row to ask questions. If those eminent monks really have something to do, don't look at them as working, they will definitely be burdened and thankless at that time, and maybe they will be charged with a crime and they will not know where to stay.

   "Thank you, Lord Hou, for telling me that Lord Hou has worked hard. Let's go to the pergola over there to rest." Several officials said sincerely.

  It will take at least ten days to clear this mountain road. Without the champion, I don’t know when I will get the news.

   Several officials thanked him and went back to work. Jiang Yuanchao stood there and smiled at Shao Mingyuan: "I admire the ability of Lord Hou."

   Shao Mingyuan's face was calm, but he was a little puzzled.

   He had never dealt with the thirteenth master of the Jinlin Guard, let alone a festival. Why did he vaguely feel that Jiang Yuanchao always held an inexplicable hostility towards him?

   "Don't dare to do it. If Mr. Jiang has nothing else to do, go there and rest for a while."

   "Uh, Lord Hou, please." Jiang Yuanchao smiled and gave way. Seeing Shao Mingyuan striding away, he suddenly said, "I wonder what happened to Miss Li who lives in Xingzi Hutong?"

   Shao Mingyuan paused, then turned around.

  Jiang Yuanchao still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, unable to see any clues.

   "I didn't see Miss Li down here, but the nun of Shuying Nunnery passed a message to Dafu Temple, saying that Girl Li was in Shuying Nunnery." Shao Mingyuan smiled at Jiang Yuanchao, "Miss Li is fine if she wants to come."

   "Uh, so, it seems that Miss Li's family can rest assured."

   Shao Mingyuan didn't say more, Chong Jiang Yuanchao nodded, raised his feet and walked over.

  The three of Chi Can immediately surrounded Shao Mingyuan and pulled him aside to avoid others.

   "How is she?" Chi Can asked impatiently.

   Shao Mingyuan hesitated.

  Chi Can's face changed slightly: "How is it?"

   Shao Mingyuan gave him a deep look and smiled calmly: "Miss Li is fine, don't worry."

"real?"

   "Really, how could I lie to you."

   "That's good." Chi Can laughed.

  Shao Mingyuan was silent for a moment, then said to the three: "I will go up the mountain tomorrow."

   "Are you still going up?" Yang Houcheng glanced at the steep mountain wall and asked in confusion, "Since everything is all right, it's okay to wait for the mountain road to clear up, so what are you going to do up there?"

  Chi Can suddenly said: "Do you want Li San to give you—"

   Shao Mingyuan nodded: "Yes."

   He took Miss Li to Dafu Temple this morning. Miss Li borrowed a silver needle from a monk in the temple to expel the poison for him, so that he was able to go down the mountain.

   After these two days, he truly felt the importance of acupuncture to expel poison.

   Miss Li did not exaggerate, once the acupuncture was interrupted for a day, he would be almost half dead.

   When he thought that he didn't know anything about what happened last night, but his intuition told him that it must be a very important matter, Shao Mingyuan seemed to have a dark cloud in his heart and was inexplicably uneasy.

   "I came down today to report the situation, so that everyone can feel at ease. After going up tomorrow, I will wait for the mountain road to clear before going down the mountain."

   "That's fine, if anything happens in the temple, the outside world won't be ignorant." Zhu Yandao.

  Yang Houcheng shook his head and said, "So what if you know, now only Tingquan can enter the mountain. If something happens inside, aren't people outside helpless?"

   "Tingquan, I don't care what others do, you take care of Li San for me."

   Shao Mingyuan glanced at him and smiled: "I will."

   "Li San's father and brother are here, I'll go tell them." Chi Can turned and walked towards the pavilion.

   Shao Mingyuan withdrew his gaze and turned to talk to Yang Houcheng.

   Miss Li asked him to report the safety of her family, but now it seems that she doesn't need him anymore.

   "Uncle Li, my friend just came down from the mountain and said that the three girls are currently living in Shuying Nunnery and have nothing to do."

  Li Guangwen was overjoyed, the more he looked at Chi Can, the more pleasing the eye, he nodded again and again: "That's good, that's good."

   At this moment, there was a lot of movement: "Let me give up, let me give up."

A seductive aroma came, and everyone involuntarily stopped to look around, and saw several hooded carriages coming up the official road, full of goods, and the seductive aroma was floating from the carriage. .

   Several officers and soldiers stopped the car: "You can't pass the car here, go back quickly."

   In the face of a group of officials who are five big and three rough, He was not afraid, patted the carriage and said, "The little lady is here to bring food to the adults."

   "Eat?" The officers and soldiers kept sniffing.

  This scent, tsk tsk—

   "Yes, there are roast chicken, braised beef, sauce elbow, braised pig's trotters, yes, there is shochu!" He ordered someone to lift the tarpaulin covering the goods, and the aroma became more intense.

  The sound of saliva swallowing and stomach rumbling suddenly came and went.

   "You're welcome, adults, you have the strength to work when you're full."

   This movement attracted a lot of people, Li Hui stretched his head to look at it, and was stunned: "Father, my wife is here."

   "What is the wife doing here?" Li Guangwen injured his foot and could only sit, unable to see what was going on outside.

   "It seems that you brought a lot of food and drove several carriages."

   "I'm not a rice bucket, can't I fit in a small basket?"

   "No, my wife is delivering meals to those officials, so that they can be full and strong to work."

  Li Guangwen: "..." Although the daughter-in-law is a prodigal, she is quite clever.

   "Go and tell your wife, just say your third sister is fine, so that she can rest assured!"

   "Okay." Li Hui responded, gradually realizing the difference.

   Father seems to be different to stepmother.
