Chapter 217 Overcoming the Wall
Bo Ling stood up on the seat and moved towards the window by the wall. She propped up the paper window with both hands, and poked her head outside to look.

Behind the tea room is the back mountain of Donglin Temple. The mountains in the distance are surrounded by clouds and mist, and it is humid. Not far away are a few regular vegetable fields. It can be seen that the monks in the temple will cultivate here every day.

Holding the window sill, Bo Ling flipped directly from the window to the open space outside the tea room.

"Come with me, let's go to Xikeshe." Bai Ling waved at Bai Yi in a low voice, "I'll talk to you slowly on the way."

Bai Yi glanced at the door of the tea room - two guards and eunuchs were squatting outside.With a chuckle, he tiptoed to the wall and came out through the window.

The two of them stepped on the soft ground behind the tea room, and walked towards the west of Donglin Temple silently.

Along the way, Bo Ling recounted the events that happened in the palace in the past few days in great detail—Fourteen's investigation of Lin Jieyu's background was hindered, the origin of a strange old man under the secretary was unknown, and she herself had a crush on Rouge. Unreasonable doubts, and the grievances of Qinglian sisters, and the surrender of A Li outside the palace to Shisi...

If it hadn't been for talking to Bai Yi at this moment, Bai Ling himself would not have realized that so many incidents had occurred around her in just a few days.

When Bai Yi heard the sudden stagnation of his feet here, he stopped involuntarily, "Ah Li started to work with Fourteen now? When did it start?"

Bai Yi's reaction was also expected by Bai Ling.

"It was my instruction, originally." Bo Ling replied calmly, "Because almost all of Shisi's intelligence lines in Beizhen Fusi are currently unusable, so I want to try and see if I can find a way from outside the palace. .”

"You haven't discussed this matter with me." Bai Yi's voice was a little higher, his face changed, and he suddenly seemed to remember something, "The day Xiaoman's accident happened, you asked me to take Ah Li home... then Did you ever think of getting him involved here?"

"...Mmm." Bo Ling nodded again.

"Bai Ling!" Bai Yi frowned and grabbed Bai Ling's arm, "You do this, and—"

Bai Ling pressed her right hand lightly on Bai Yi's arm, and she looked up into Bai Yi's eyes, "Listen to my explanation first, okay?"

There was some disbelief in Bai Yi's eyes, but he still let go of Bai Ling's hand.

"It wasn't so fast, and I never thought of bypassing you to do this." Bo Ling said softly, "I asked you to bring A Li back that night because I wanted Fourteen to recognize him, and then went to Let's see if this young man is qualified to collect information outside the palace, and let Fourteen judge the feasibility of this matter first."

Speaking of this, Paling paused, "My original plan was that if Shisi thinks A Li is okay, then I will discuss it with you next step."

Bai Yi's expression became a little calmer now, but his brows were still tightly frowned, "Then why did you tell me now!"

"Because Ah Li led people to smash some taverns and open-air storytelling booths, he was arrested by the patrol team on the charge of picking quarrels and provoking trouble a few days ago," Bo Ling said softly, "Do you know about this?"

Bai Yi gasped.

he does not know.

But he did know that Ah Li was very angry with the rumors of Xiaoman in the city these days, so he was making trouble everywhere, and he also persuaded Ah Li to stop these futile actions as soon as possible——If you have the strength, why not visit Xiaoman in the south of the city more of a family.

"...In short, Fourteen made a move to rescue them from prison, and A Li also offered to work with Fourteen at that time." Bo Ling said softly, "This rhythm is faster than I expected. But we didn't have much time left. So..."

Bai Ling didn't say any more, she looked at Bai Yi.

"I'm a little angry," Bai Yi's throat moved, and he said reluctantly, "...but I'm not angry with you."

What right did I have to be angry? Even the fact that A Li caused a catastrophe when he was taking out people was only known to Bo Ling when he told him at this moment.

He knew how deep the water was here, and knew that the dark tide was raging here, and he didn't want to get him involved for A Li's own good.

But Ah Li probably couldn't understand the good intentions behind this stubbornness, so the young man rushed in without thinking... But he wasted his time in intrigue with these filthy people, and even put his life on it, has no meaning?
A Li doesn't understand him, and he doesn't understand A Li either.Maybe one day in the future they both will understand, but there's no point in talking about it then.

After walking back for dozens of steps, Bai Ling suddenly raised his head, "The night Xiaoman had an accident, Shisi said something to me, and I will never forget it."

"……Um."

Bai Ling looked away, looked at the scorched stone road under his feet, and said softly, "'The more you think, the blunter the sword becomes. Once the sword is blunt, you can't do what you could do, and you can't keep the people you can save. , let alone self-preservation'."

Bai Yi was a little dazed when he heard it, and then his eyes dimmed, and the two walked forward in silence,

The two of them walked west along the back mountain of the temple, and some broken walls were still emitting sporadic sparks.Although the gate of the West Guesthouse was sealed, the side gate had been burned through. The monks in the temple simply used straw ropes to surround the porch a few times to show that "strangers should not come near".Most of the monks in charge of guarding here are on the side of the main entrance, and the backyard and side entrance are unattended.

The two passed through the fence of the side door and entered the side corridor of the West Guest House. Obviously, this area has not been dealt with much.The entire West Guest House was reduced to ashes in the fire, leaving only countless black beams scattered on the foundation made of white rock.

At the end of his field of vision, Bai Yi saw two stretchers covered with white cloth, and there was a choked sob that he tried his best to suppress not far away—at the foot of the stretcher, there was a little monk lying on the white cloth and wiping his tears.

"There's someone here." Bai Yi turned his head and whispered to Bai Ling.

……

Outside Donglin Temple, Master Xuyun appeared outside the temple gate together with several monks who were about the same age as him.

This place has already been surrounded by monks, everyone is holding sticks in their hands, ready to fight.

But under the stone steps, Li Fengyu was the only one standing there, with his hands behind his back, as if he didn't pay attention to the monk at all, and just looked up at the direction of the temple gate.

Seeing Xu Yun appear at this time, Li Fengyu smiled.

The hunchbacked monk who had been waiting for Xu Yun to deal with these naughty youngsters snorted, and was about to go forward to complain to Xu Yun about his wanton and unreasonable behavior just now, but Li Fengyu had already taken the lead and shouted "Master!"

He waved with anticipation, ignored the many monks who were glaring at him outside the temple gate, and walked up to talk to Master Xu Yun intimately, as if Xu Yun was an elder he was familiar with.

It was only then that everyone realized that this young master of Uncle Anding's family had a dog face, and he could turn his face faster than a book!
In the distance, Shizi was the last one to climb up the high wall of Donglin Temple—on top of the wall, Zeng Jiuyan and Zhang Jingzhen, who were stepping on his shoulders, sat firmly on the top of the wall, and each of them took his arm and dragged him up. .

The three of them sat on the wall and looked into the distance. Li Fengyu was speaking eloquently in the distance. He didn't know what he was saying to those monks, but it really drew everyone's attention to him alone.

"It's too strong." Several people shook their heads and sighed in unison.
