Monument Yangmen

Chapter 552 Inside Daqing Temple
There were not many Liao soldiers standing in front of Yang Qi, only ten of them.

Obviously, the Liao people were very confident in their ambush, they never thought that their ambush would be discovered by Yang Qi.

The scimitar twirled in Yang Qi's hands, like an old farmer cutting wheat in a wheat field, the Liao soldiers fell down one after another.

Ten Liao soldiers met each other and died under Yang Qidao.

Blood rolled down the scimitar in Yang Qi's hand, forming a pool of blood on the ground.

"Whoosh~"

Yang Qi flicked the scimitar, hot blood droplets spilled from the scimitar, flew for a while, and all condensed into crystal clear blood crystals, hitting the faces of the Liao soldiers who came to pursue them.

Yang Qi broke through the ambush of the Liao soldiers, and did not bother to fight, and began to run wildly along the street.

The gate of Nanguo Qianhang.

Han Derang flicked the blood from his beard, stepped on the blood pooled by the men in the Nanguo money bank, and calmly appeared at the door.

Han Derang plotted for the Nanguo Money Bank for a long time, and now he just took this opportunity to control the Nanguo Money Bank in one fell swoop.

Today, only one person is alive in the Nanguo money bank.

This person is Shen Peng.

The reason why Han Derang kept Shen Peng alive was to extract from Shen Peng the place of deposit of the Nanguo Money Bank in Shangjing.

Shen Peng seems to have made full preparations for the accident at the Nanguo Money Bank in the capital.

Therefore, the silver deposit warehouse of Nanguo Money Bank in Shangjing is very hidden, and no more than three people know about it.

Han Derang searched the Nanguo money bank for a while, but only found more than 1 silver coins.

Shen Peng's mouth is very hard, and Han Derang has a hard time prying Shen Peng's mouth open.

So he was going to catch Yang Qi and force Shen Peng to hand over his silver deposit.

When Han Derang reached the gate of Nanguo Qianhang, Yang Qi had already rushed out of the alley.

"A group of idiots, hurry up and chase them."

Seeing that Yang Qi disappeared as soon as he turned around at the entrance of the alley, Han Derang cursed in despair.

Under Han Derang's urging, the Liao soldiers straddled their horses and followed closely behind Yang Qi.

As soon as Yang Qi rushed out of the alley, he saw a little girl riding a fast horse, stumbling towards him.

The little girl's riding skills are still very good, although she is wobbly on the horseback.

But never fell off the horse.

"Get on the horse..."

At the critical moment, the little girl couldn't care less about being shy, and after seeing Yang Qi, she urged her urgently.

Yang Qi hesitated for a moment, but when he heard the pursuers approaching, he jumped on the little girl's horse.

After Yang Qi jumped on the horse's back, he quickly took over the control of the horse, and he urged the horse to gallop all the way.

Totally aimless running.

Yang Qi was not familiar with the way to the capital, so he could only flee when he saw the way.

"Go to Daqing Temple..."

The little girl was held in Yang Qi's arms, and she showed Yang Qi the way in a timid voice.

Yang Qi galloped wildly, and asked, "Why do you want to go to Daqing Temple?"

The little girl explained in a low voice: "I... I heard that the four gates of Shangjing City have been sealed... Daqing Temple is built on the mountain, and there is a small road on the mountain that leads directly to the outside of the city. Few people know about it."

Yang Qi ran along the path pointed by the little girl.

The horse chosen by the little girl was indeed a horse with strong feet. Yang Qi turned three forks before throwing off the pursuers behind him.

On the way to Daqing Temple, Yang Qi asked the little girl in his arms with a teasing smile, "Girl, you are a princess after all, if I kidnap you, will you be able to leave the city safely? There is no need to go to Daqing." Temple?"

"what?"

The little girl exclaimed, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Is it possible? If you can really help you escape...you can kidnap me..."

Yang Qi couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that there would be such a simple little girl in this land of tigers and wolves in Liao Kingdom.

Daqing Temple was built in a corner of Shangjing City, and Daqing Temple can be regarded as a royal temple recognized by the royal family of the Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, the entire Daqing Temple was built magnificently, and there were thousands of monks in it.

The distance from Nanguo Qianxing to Daqing Temple was not far, but it took Yang Qi a full hour to reach Daqing Temple.

The main reason is to avoid the pursuers of the Liao Kingdom along the way, wasting a lot of time.

The architecture of Daqing Temple is magnificent.

The archway at the entrance of the temple alone is three feet high.

From the gate of the temple to the Daxiong Hall on the mountain, you have to go through 360 four steps all the way.

At this moment, on each step, there are two monks standing on the left and right sides.

At the gate of the temple, there is also a huge and gorgeous carriage.

Around the carriage, there are guards in golden armor wearing felt hats.

When the little girl saw the golden-armored guards and the gorgeous carriage, her body froze visibly.

Yang Qi jumped off the horse and hugged the little girl, "What's wrong?"

Pointing at the carriage, the little girl stammered, "Mother...mother queen..."

"Mother?"

Yang Qi frowned when he heard this, pouted his mouth, and said softly: "This is interesting."

The little girl was obviously full of fear for her mother.

When he found out that his mother was in Daqing Temple, he didn't even dare to go up the steps of Daqing Temple.

After several struggles in her heart, for Yang Qi's safety, the little girl showed the determination of a righteous man and led Yang Qi into Daqing Temple.

The little girl seems to often go to Daqing Temple to pray for blessings, so all the monks in Daqing Temple know her.

For the little girl to enter the temple, not only were they not stopped by anyone, but they rushed to talk to the little girl one by one.

It can be seen that the little girl is very popular in Daqing Temple.

After Yang Qi and the little girl climbed the stairs of Daqing Temple, all the information about the inside of Daqing Temple came to Yang Qi's ears.

Empress Dowager Xiao, the most powerful secretly in the Daliao Kingdom, and the most powerful little emperor in the face of the Daliao Kingdom, and the two worshiped Buddha in the Daxiong Palace.

Han Qiong, the daughter-in-law of Duke Chu's mansion, prayed in the Palace of Heavenly Kings.

The little girl likes to go to the Guanyin Temple in Daqing Temple.

After climbing the stairs, the monks took the little girl to the Guanyin Hall without asking any questions.

……

Inside the Daxiong Palace.

Empress Dowager Xiao, who had paid homage to the Buddha, was taking the little emperor to have a vegetarian meal in a transparent meditation room under the leadership of the abbot of Daqing Temple.

Liao's meals are mostly greasy.

Empress Dowager Xiao only prefers vegetarian food, so every now and then she will take the little emperor to Daqing Temple to enjoy vegetarian food in the name of worshiping Buddha.

The vegetarian food in Daqing Temple is unique in Shangjing, and even in the entire Liao Kingdom.

It is difficult for ordinary people to eat vegetarian food in Daqing Temple.

The top vegetarian fire head monks in Daqing Temple only serve the nobles of the Liao Kingdom to eat and drink.

On the dining table of Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor, the dishes were not complicated, simple in style and few in number.

Cabbage, tofu, cucumber, Kunlun purple melon, etc., as well as a plate of sliced ​​watermelon.

Under the service of the palace servants, the Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor sat down slowly.

Empress Dowager Xiao was a little surprised when she saw the dishes on the table, "Looking at the bright red watermelon, could it be that your temple also imitated the emperor of the Southern Kingdom and built a warm room in the temple?" .)
The old abbot clasped his hands together with a smile, and said, "The conservatory of the Song Dynasty royal family is expensive and costly. My little Daqing Temple can be built.

The monks in the temple are able to eat this sweet and fresh melon and fruit in winter, all thanks to Yang Yansi of Daizhou.

If he hadn't passed on the way of cultivating melons and fruits in the winter to the people of Daizhou, we might not be able to have this good fortune. "

"Yang Yansi?!"

Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head and sighed, "This man has great talent, but unfortunately he can't be used by me..."

Empress Dowager Xiao still admires Yang Yansi very much, even if Yang Yansi caused indelible damage to the Liao Kingdom.

Empress Dowager Xiao's heart is far wider than that of Zhao Guangyi. Basically, any talent that Empress Dowager Xiao values, no matter what his status is and whether he has a hostile relationship with the Liao Kingdom, as long as he can be used by the Liao Kingdom, she will boldly use it regardless of past suspicions.

This point is not difficult to see from the rise of Han Derang.

If not, with Han Derang's status, he can only behave with his tail between his legs in the Liao country, so how dare he act recklessly like he is now.

"Empress Dowager, try this cucumber..."

The old host personally prepared dishes for Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, and began to taste the vegetarian food of Daqing Temple.

The little emperor was obviously a carnivore, and he didn't have any good impressions of the vegetarian food on the table.

Except for the bright red watermelon, he didn't even touch the rest of the dishes.

Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at the little emperor while eating vegetarian food in admiration.

She didn't feel disgusted by the little emperor's dislike of vegetarianism, nor did she reprimand her.

After all, it is a dragon, and it is the nature of a dragon to eat meat.

While Empress Dowager Xiao was carefully tasting the vegetarian food on the table, a palace servant walked up to Empress Dowager Xiao's side with small steps, as if she was afraid of disturbing Empress Dowager Xiao's dining mood, so she spoke in a very low voice.

"Report to the Empress Dowager that Princess Haijing has also arrived at Daqing Temple."

When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, she was obviously taken aback.

The little emperor pricked up his ears and heard the voice of the palace slave, and immediately shouted: "Is my sister here? Ask her to come here."

The palace slave subconsciously looked at Empress Dowager Xiao.

The little emperor also looked expectantly at Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head and smiled, "Then let Hai Jing come over for dinner."

Princess Haijing is weak and shouldn't move around much. In addition, Princess Haijing was attacked at the gate of the city before, and now the wind and cold are just right, so she walks around.

Empress Dowager Xiao was a little dissatisfied with this, but she didn't show it.

With the permission of Empress Dowager Xiao, the little emperor urged the palace servants to invite Princess Haijing.

Princess Haijing had just arrived in the Guanyin Hall, and before she could kneel cross-legged, she heard someone calling at the door.

"My maidservant sees Princess Haijing, and is ordered by the Queen Mother to invite the princess to the side hall of Daqing Temple."

Princess Haijing panicked, and subconsciously looked at Yang Qi.

Yang Qi hid behind the door in Guanyin Hall, seeing Princess Haijing looking at him, he smiled, waved his hand, and signaled Princess Haijing to go by herself and ignore him.

Princess Haijing nodded first, then shook her head.

She walked up to Yang Qi, timidly like a little mouse, and whispered: "You can go with me. If you stay here alone, if there is any danger, you will not be able to escape.

Follow me, you can hijack me at critical times..."

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.

Princess Haijing blinked her big eyes and stared at him resolutely.

Yang Qi smiled wryly and nodded.

In a short while, Princess Haijing, accompanied by Yang Qi, went to see Empress Dowager Xiao.

The side hall where Empress Dowager Xiao lived was quite far from Guanyin Hall.

It's a quarter of an hour's journey.

After arriving at the Avalokitesvara Hall, Princess Haijing stopped outside the door, and she glanced at Yang Qi, as if she was encouraging Yang Qi and herself.

Then, she puffed up her small chest and stepped into the side hall.

Yang Qi followed closely behind and entered the side hall.

"I have seen my mother, and I have seen Your Majesty."

After Princess Haijing entered the door, she bowed down and saluted.

Although she is older than the little emperor, but in front of outsiders, the status of the little emperor is far more noble than her, so she must salute the little emperor.

Yang Qi also saluted.

It's just that he was suspected of imitating Princess Haijing, so he was a little awkward.

Empress Dowager Xiao immediately frowned, if she hadn't seen Yang Qi's good-looking appearance, she might have had a fit on the spot.

After Princess Haijing entered the hall, she became very nervous and kept observing the expression of Empress Dowager Xiao.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao was displeased, she hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Mother, he is the head of the guards newly sent to the ministers. He is very skilled in martial arts, but he was born recklessly. I don't know such etiquette."

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't intend to delve into it, she nodded slowly after hearing Princess Haijing's explanation.

After all, Liao people were not born to receive gifts.

They also began to slowly change after they came into contact with Han culture.

However, there are still quite a few tribes in the territory of Liao. They only advocate the most primitive force, and they don't care about etiquette at all.

Although Empress Dowager Xiao was unhappy, she could understand.

When the little emperor saw Princess Haijing, he looked very happy.

He jumped up and down in front of Princess Haijing, held Princess Haijing's hand, and said cheerfully: "Sister, come and sit down quickly. Let's eat vegetarian food made by monks. Today's vegetarian food is much more than usual Different styles."

Princess Haijing nodded, let the little emperor hold her hand, and sat on the seat prepared for her.

Yang Qi followed closely behind Princess Haijing, and when Princess Haijing sat down, he stood behind Princess Haijing.

Right opposite Princess Haijing is Empress Dowager Xiao.

For this legendary woman, Yang Qi still has a heart to appreciate a thing or two.

Empress Dowager Xiao should be 40 years old this year, but she is more beautiful than a woman in her 30s.

The skin is still white and can be broken by blowing bullets.

The charm of a powerful mature woman on her body can easily arouse men's desire to conquer her.

Yang Qi thought to himself, the reason why Empress Dowager Xiao was able to control Yeluxiu and Han Derang, two tiger-like characters, was because of her beauty?

Empress Dowager Xiao clearly felt Yang Qi's gaze, her face flushed with anger, and a trace of anger welled up in her heart.

Just as he was about to attack, he saw a guard in golden armor rushing into the hall with two braids twitching.
