Hearing the master's voice, Lin Yiran hurriedly said, "Master, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to say this. If the Buddha wants to punish me, please come and punish me."

Xia Zongze, who was standing beside Lin Yiran, heard this and reached out to hug Lin Yiran, "Ran'er..."

"Don't do this, this is a Buddhist place, don't be presumptuous." Lin Yiran looked at the master again and pushed Xia Zongze away embarrassedly.

"Oh, oh..." Xia Zongze quickly put her down.

"Amitabha!"

"Master..." Lin Yiran turned around and knelt in front of the host and gave him a big gift, "I'm sorry, what I did today is contrary to the Buddhist teachings. Please forgive me."

The abbot of Hanling Temple shook his head and bowed his head to give a silent greeting, "Please give me some advice!"

Lin Yiran rested all over the ground and bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, the civilian woman is unruly, so she will say goodbye first!"

"Amitabha!"

Xia Zongze followed Lin Yi and bowed, "Master, say goodbye!"

After the two of them left, the little novice monk came in and asked, "Master, why don't you say a word?"

"What are you saying?" Master Abbot asked softly, his eyes wide and deep, calm and confusing.

The little novice monk said, "Please give up their sins and become Buddhas on the spot!"

The abbot shook his head gently, "Concentrate the mind as a precept, and from precepts to produce concentration, and from concentration to wisdom, all sentient beings will be like this."

"Master, I don't understand!"

The abbot explained: "The Buddha said that we should think about sentient beings everywhere, have selfless thoughts, put sentient beings in place, and benefit others by being pure and untainted, so that we can enter the great wisdom of Samadhi and correct concentration."

"But they are going to start a massacre in the temple!"

The abbot looked up and seemed to see outside the temple through the door panel, "The Buddha's heart is the same!"

"Master..." The little shaman followed the master's gaze and had nothing.

"Killing and reprimand have already been determined."

“Yes, Master.”

Small path outside the door

Lin Yiran asked anxiously: "Zi Tao, where is the old lady?"

"It's already in my hands." Xia Zongze replied.

"Uh... are you moving so fast?"

"When I came, she just came out."

Lin Yiran asked uneasily: "Oh, does that master know?"

"Maybe!" Xia Zongze turned around and looked at the direction of the Zen room.

Lin Yiran asked, "What should we do now?"

"What did you think before you saw me?"

Lin Yiran looked up at Xia Zongze, "We are indeed a family."

Xia Zongze smiled.

Lin Yiran sighed and said, "When is it, you are still laughing?"

"I haven't seen any bloody storm before." Xia Zongze replied calmly.

Lin Yiran reminded: "This is not on your territory, there are too many uncontrollable factors!"

"Just be fearless!"

"Oh!" Lin Yiran went to Xia Zongze's arms again. At this moment, she was timid and scared. She leaned against the man's broad chest, and calmed down a lot of uneasy heart and said, "Let's take the first step first - break out of the siege."

"Look, this is my calm and wise little wife again!"

"Hate, when is it now? I'm still flattering!"

Xia Zongze lowered his head and kissed Lin Yiran on the forehead, "Don't be afraid, I'll have it all!"

Lin Yiran nodded, "Okay!"

Sanhe led Xia Zongze toward the gate of Hanling Temple, and the figures that moved with their steps began to sway.

The swaying figures all pulled out their swords. The back of the sharp sword flashed under the July sunshine, so that people could not open their eyes. Lin Yiran instinctively approached Xia Zongze, and he signaled her not to be afraid.

The monk from Hanling Temple appeared with the appearance of Wu's military officer and the killers, saying, "Dear donors, outside the temple, I can't control you, but if you are in the temple... I'm sorry, the abbot will say that it's okay to break the precepts."

Seeing the monks say this, the deputy commander of the Gyeonggi Military Affairs Office reached out and the soldiers and horses behind him stopped and "let them leave the temple."

"Yes, sir!"

The encirclement instantly made a gap, and Xia Zongze and others went out of the temple.

At the entrance of the temple, the pilgrims were frightened by the sudden soldiers and screamed and fled, in a mess.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Sixi put his fingers beside his mouth and blew hard. Suddenly, dozens of black horses rushed out on both sides of the temple gate, neighing and rushing, which was unexpected.

"Prince, Princess, please get on the horse quickly and break out of the encirclement..."

Before Sixi could finish her words, a group of well-trained black-clothed soldiers had already rushed into the horses, and a fight began.

The sound of the collision between the sword and the gun, the roar of the fight between people, and the screams of the crowd fleeing... For a moment, the gate of Hanling Temple was like a Shura Field, with blood splattering and flesh flying.

The Palace of King Wu

The Queen Mother led a few grandsons to guard the King of Wu and shouted softly, "My son...my son... why haven't you spoke yet? Have you seen it? Your sons are all back to see you."

The eldest prince asked respectfully: "Grandmother, have your father taken the medicine soup today?"

The Queen Mother replied: "Yes, your father has not taken the medicine soup today, so I'll come--"

"The Queen Mother, I am here-"

"Feed the king quickly."

"yes!"

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the palace maids brought the medicine over. After the eunuch who tried the medicine was tried, he waited for a while and found that the medicine was fine. He hurriedly asked someone to feed it.

Before the medicine was finished, the Queen took the sick prince to the palace.

"My mother, your legitimate grandson is here."

The Queen Mother was really watching the eunuch feeding medicine. When she heard the queen's voice, she turned her head and looked at Prince Wu who was asking for help. "I'm sick, why did you ask him to do it? You still think he is not sick enough?"

"..." The queen was ashamed of being beaten by the queen mother, resisted the humiliation and replied softly, "Mother, Your Majesty has been sick for so long, Yuer must come to visit his father for a glance."

Prince Wu, who was struggling to stand, bowed to the Queen Mother, "I'm not filial... Sun Yu'er met... Grandmother..."

"Forget it, no gift!"

"Thank you...thank you grandmother."

"Come on, bring a stool for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother turned around, looked at the eunuch and fed the medicine, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Go back to the Queen Mother, OK!"

"Get out."

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

After taking the medicine, the King of Wu woke up after a while. The Queen Mother, who was about to leave, shouted happily, "Wang'er--"

"Mother Queen—"

"Wang'er, are you doing well?"

The King of Wu struggled to remember, and the eunuch and the palace maid hurried forward to help him up.

"Wang'er, you are not feeling well, don't get up!"

"My mother, I've made you worried!"

Tongzhou City

Zuo Zhen led a 50,000 army and took less than half a day to capture Tongzhou City. All the 30,000 soldiers and horses guarding the city surrendered except for the death of the battle.

The military advisor followed Zuo Zhen and patrolled Tongzhou all the way. It was built on the water, leaning against the river in the south and the Tongyu River in the north. Rivers of all sizes were crisscrossed and surrounded by Tongzhou City, becoming a natural moat.

There are city walls around Tongzhou, with three city gates in total. There are no city gates to the west. The buildings in the city have a strong canal style. Many yamen are related to canal transportation. There is a towering lighthouse in the north of the city. You can imagine the prosperity of the river and the Yu River. No wonder the three princes are competing to build palaces here. In addition to the fertile land, the transportation here is abundant and the storage area is also a major place for canal transportation. It can be imagined how considerable the taxes here are.

"General, once this place is developed, the prospects are immeasurable." said the military advisor.

Zuo Zhen nodded and shouted, "Comeone--"

"I'm here!"

"Fei Ge sent a letter to the prince that Tongzhou had been taken down."

"yes!"
