The character design collapsed! The general's sick beauty is a killer

Chapter 8 Golden Buddha

Tang Xi was deeply saddened by his sister's tragic experience and decided to go to Longhua Temple in person to copy sutras, chant Buddhist scriptures and pray for her sister for a day.

After informing Tang Xianchang, Tang Xi drove to Hualong Temple forty miles away with Baozhen and several guards with high martial arts skills.

The carriage started in the early morning and took nearly an hour to arrive at the foot of the mountain where Hualong Temple is located.

The road up the mountain was narrow and did not allow carriages to pass through. Tang Xi and his party could only temporarily stop by the roadside and put on a small and exquisite soft hat that Tang You specially prepared for her before leaving.

The seats were soft and comfortable, and the four corners of the sedan were thoughtfully covered with cushions to prevent her from bumping into them. There were sachets placed in the corners, and a light aroma spread throughout the soft sedan.

Several guards took turns carrying the sedan in pairs, and walked steadily towards the hillside where Longhua Temple was located.

It was stuffy inside the sedan, so Tang Xi opened the curtains to let some air in.

The mountain road is narrow, like a white python hanging on the mountain wall. The edge of the road is a steep cliff with no bottom in sight.

Tang Xi looked into the distance, with green mountains and misty clouds. It looked like a fairyland on earth, as if there were real immortals living here.

Tang Xi was lost in thought when a tall and strong black horse suddenly broke into her line of sight, blocking almost all of her vision.

Tang Xi's eyes moved up, and he first saw a frost-like sword on the horse's belly. It looked familiar, but he didn't think about it. Then he moved up and saw a well-pressed black embroidered brocade robe, wrapped

Looking at the man's strong and majestic body, Tang Xi met a pair of black eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Tang Xi's chest shook.

It turned out to be Jian Chijin.

She swung down the curtains, blocking Jian Chijin's gaze, and sat in the dimly lit soft sedan. The scene of the night palace banquet could not help but appear in her mind, and she suddenly felt a dull pain in her waist.

Why is he here?

Jian Chijin's low laughter came from outside the sedan. It was particularly harsh when Tang Xi heard it. She gritted her teeth. She pulled out a beaded hairpin on her head, held it in her hand, opened the curtains, and looked at the person who was only an arm's length away from her.

rocking horse.

As long as she stuck the pearl hairpin on the horse, the horse would run away in pain. The mountain road was only so wide, and the man and the horse would fall off the cliff and be shattered to pieces...

"My horse was a gift from the emperor himself and cannot be hurt." Jian Chijin lowered his eyes and saw through her little thoughts at a glance, and said lightly.

Tang Xi raised his chin and snorted proudly, "General, you are worrying too much." Then he pulled down the curtain.

Jian Chijin smiled at the corners of her eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said nothing.

The sound of horse hooves followed the sedan leisurely, not just one, but many. Tang Xi was confused and opened the curtain on the other side. Baozhen had been waiting there, "Miss."

"What's following?" Tang Xi asked.

Baozhen glanced back and said, "Miss, it's a giant Buddha."

"Big Buddha?"

Baozhen nodded and said seriously: "The Empress believes in Buddhism. This giant Buddha was just completed not long ago, and the Empress sent General Ning Yuan to escort it to Hualong Temple."

"What a coincidence," Tang Xi murmured in a low voice, "If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come today."

"Ah?" Baozhen didn't hear clearly, so she leaned closer to her ear and asked, "What are you talking about, Miss?"

"Nothing." Tang Xi shook his head, looked around and looked at the sky, "How long will it take to get to Hualong Temple?"

"Come on," Baozhen pointed forward, "I can already see the top of the tower."

That's good.

Tang Xi lowered the curtain with peace of mind.

Jian Chijin's hearing was very good, and the conversation between the master and the servant fell into his ears word for word. He lowered his eyes and looked at the incredibly exquisite and exquisite sedan in front of him, imagining that the little girl inside must be sitting and lying down at this time.

Uneasy, I wish I could get rid of him quickly, which makes me feel funny.

After finally crossing this distance, the soft sedan was placed firmly on the ground. Baozhen stepped forward and opened the curtain of the sedan, and helped Tang Xi get out of the sedan.

There are hundreds of blue stone steps at the entrance, stretching to the sky. Looking from the bottom up, you can only see the golden glazed tiles on the top of the temple, and the lifelike immortals on the flying roof ridges.

"This temple was built by the Queen to promote Buddhism, and the people who worship it are all dignitaries and royal family members, so it can be so glorious."

Tang Xi turned his head to look at the man who was speaking. At this moment, he was looking up at the towering roof, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Tang Xi nodded slightly and led Baozhen up the stairs.

The guards followed them.

Jian Chijin stood there, looking at her back as she climbed the stairs. She was wearing a long pink dress. In order to prevent tripping, she held the hem of the dress with both hands. Her long hair was draped behind her. A gust of wind blew by, causing her hair to be messy. , the slender waist is vaguely visible.

It was still so thin. Jian Chijin lowered her head and gestured with her hands. She was very confused. What did she eat when she grew up? How could it be so thin?

Walking to the last step with the skirt in hand, the decoration in Hualong Temple is comparable to the palace.

Tang Xi put down her skirt and looked at the luxurious scene in front of her. The first thing that came to her mind was Jian Chijin.

I heard that during his northern expedition to Beidi, there were times when there was a shortage of food, grass and cotton clothes. The biggest opponent of the border warriors was not Beidi, but the cold wind in the north and the insatiable stomach. He wrote to the court many times, but The Ministry of Household Affairs always used the excuse that the treasury was empty.

But in fact, Tang Xi sneered, the queen wanted to build a temple and pile up all the gold and silver on it.

She looked back and saw Jian Chijin at the bottom of the stairs, dragging the shining golden Buddha little by little with her men.

The young soldiers were sweating and did not think it was a hard job. On the contrary, the general worked with them and gave them great encouragement.

The Buddha statue has a compassionate smile on its mouth and its eyes made of black gemstones are shining brightly.

Jian Chijin felt someone was looking at him, looked up, and saw Tang Xi's clear eyes full of pity. But in an instant, the pity disappeared, indifference returned, and the little girl turned and left without saying a word.

"General, why did you stop?" A young soldier with a handsome face followed Jian Chijin's gaze and saw nothing except a golden roof.

Jian Chijin's half-faced eyes tightened the linen on her hands in silence, "Nothing, tell me to go down, and after this trip, I will personally ask the Queen for the reward for everyone."

He chewed the last two words slowly, his tone intriguing.

Gao Feiwei only heard the word "please reward", and he stretched his neck excitedly and shouted to the brothers behind him: "Brothers, do you hear that? After this trip, the general will ask the Queen to give us a reward. Everyone, work harder and do a good job!"

Everyone was instantly inspired to fight by the reward, and the Buddha statue moved forward significantly faster.

Inside the temple.

Tang Xi gave some money to get rid of the guards and took Baozhen around.

She had no intention of copying sutras and chanting Buddhist scriptures for Tang Min. She came to Hualong Temple just to stay away from the mother and daughter and have some peace and quiet for a day.

Longhua Temple is exclusive for nobles, and not many people come and go.

After wandering around until noon, the two of them were led to the side room by the young monk and had a vegetarian meal.

In the afternoon, the two of them wandered around the back hill.

The peach blossoms are in full bloom as far as the eye can see.

The breeze passed by slowly, blowing the fallen flowers in colorful colors.

The fragrance of peach lingered on the tip of her nose. Tang Xi bent down to pick up a petal and played with it in the palm of her hand. Then she turned her eyes and swept sharply into the depths of the peach forest.

"Come out." Tang Xi said coldly.

Baozhen stood in front of her, her deer-like eyes staring ahead warily.

Four figures walked out from behind the peach tree, staring at Tang Xi with greed in their eyes.

Such a beautiful beauty, which they did not dare to take a second look at before, now needs to fall into their hands and be allowed to be flattened and rounded as they please.

"Who are you?" Baozhen's voice was soft and filled with anger, like a cat's paw, scratching people's hearts.

The four men laughed obscenely. At first, they were worried that it would be difficult to attack because of the guards. Little did they know that these two people came to such a remote place in the back mountain alone, and they almost took the initiative to come to their door.

"The little beauty will know about it later." One of the wretched men walked in front with a smile, rubbed his hands, and kept saying nasty things.

Tang Xi felt nauseated and interrupted him, "Did Sun Wanrong send you here?"

The four wretched men were stunned and glanced at each other. They didn't expect her to guess it so easily, so they stopped pretending, "So what, you guys don't want to go back alive today. Why don't you beg our brothers now?"

Let me make you feel more comfortable later."

Tang Xi snorted coldly, took a few steps back, and handed the battlefield to Baozhen.

Suddenly his back pressed against something hard. Tang Xi turned around in surprise, about to throw out the silver needle in his hand, and met Jian Chijin's smiling eyes.

Tang Xi was startled and he held his wrist.

At the same time, several vigorous figures jumped out from behind him, and the one running at the front was the handsome Gao Feiwei.

"How can you grown men bully two defenseless women? You have the ability to fight us!" Gao Feiwei waved a machete that didn't match his appearance. "Hey, why are you running away?"

Four wretched men ran around in the peach forest like they were pissing.

On the day when Jian Chijin's squadron returned to the court, they took a look from a distance and recognized that the person in front of them was General Ning Yuan. They did bad things in front of the general, and subconsciously they wanted to run away.

"Why do you have so many hidden weapons on your body?" Jian Chijin fixed her wrist, pulled out the silver needles in her hand one by one, and then let go of her hand.

"Why is the general here? Have you finished delivering the Buddha statues?" Tang Xi snatched the silver needle from his hand, stuffed it into his sleeve, and said casually.

"The delivery is over." Jian Chijin lowered his eyes to look at her movements, but hesitated to speak. Isn't she afraid of being stabbed?

Baozhen stood silently next to the two of them, her big round eyes moving back and forth between them.

"General, we have all been captured." Gao Feiwei carried a wretched man in one hand, and the other two soldiers also carried one like a chicken, and threw all four of them to the ground.

The four of them rolled around and tried to grab Jian Chijin's clothes to beg for mercy, but Gao Feiwei pulled them back mercilessly and forced them to kneel down in a polite manner.

"General, how should we deal with it?" Gao Feiwei asked energetically.

Jian Chijin turned his head and looked at Tang Xi.

"Kill him." She said coldly.

"Ah?" Gao Feiwei pursed his lips, unable to move his hand, and scratched his head, "No...it's not that bad. How about a beating to relieve his anger?"

"Yes, yes, just give me a beating." The wretched men kneeling on the ground kowtowed to Tang Xi. There was no sign of arrogance in their repentant looks. "Miss, there are a lot of them. Please spare the lives of our brothers."

, we were also instigated by others, it was your mother who made you die badly, we just used money to do things, it has nothing to do with us!"

Tang Xi frowned impatiently and looked up at Jian Chijin.

That look seemed to say, are you okay? If not, I'll do it.

Jian Chijin raised his hand, Gao Feiwei obeyed the order, raised the knife and dropped it, and the four heads rolled to the ground.

Blood spurted out and splashed all over the ground.

Gao Feiwei originally thought that the delicate young lady in front of him would turn pale with fright, but he didn't expect that she would calmly turn around and leave a light sentence, "Please wrap it up for me and send it to Earl Xianchang's Mansion."

Gao Feiwei blinked, are all the girls in Shangjing City so cruel? Then does he still want to marry a wife in Shangjing City?

"Nuo, this is for you." Baozhen walked up to Gao Feiwei, handed him her pink handkerchief, and pointed to her fleshy nose, "There is blood here, wipe it."

After saying that, he ran away chasing Tang Xi.

Gao Feiwei's eyes lit up. It was really not easy for such a ruthless young lady to have such a gentle and considerate maid. Sure enough, the girl's family must be so gentle.

He wiped the blood on his face with his sleeves and put the handkerchief neatly in his arms. He couldn't bear to use such a fragrant handkerchief.
