Chapter 30 Two Color Lotus 02
Huo Weilou's wrist was as hard as iron, and Bo Ruoyou's delicate fingers grasped it, which was hard to shake. However, her eyes were full of resistance and frightened, and the gentleness in her eyebrows disappeared, which was quite domineering.
Huo Weilou made a sound and lowered her skirt again, "When I saw you dressing up like this in the morning, I knew something was wrong. I thought you wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer, but you endured it all the way."
Bao Ruoyou loosened Huo Weilou's hand and took a breath again. It hurt too much. She thought it hurt too much. She could even feel that her skin was worn apart, and the wounds were bleeding and sticking to her underwear. Just then they were torn apart again.
There was a teardrop hanging in the corner of her eyes. When she heard Huo Weilou's words, her eyebrows dropped, as if she was a little guilty, and she pursed her lips stubbornly. Huo Weilou stared at her for a moment and pulled her away from her horse. He carried it on his back in front of him.
Bo Ruoyou's body weighed nearly a hundred, but Huo Weilou's arm strength was amazing. He seemed to make her sit sideways on his horse without any effort. He rode the horse a few steps forward and shouted, "Get it." Here comes the medicine——"
He joined the army when he was young, and later became Marquis of Wu Zhao, in charge of the embroidery envoy. He spent most of the year working for Emperor Jianhe. When he was traveling, he was well-prepared. Soon, a bottle of ointment was handed over to Huo Huo. In the hands of a dangerous building.
Huo Weilou looked around and led Bao Ruoyou into the woods beside the road.
There was a pine forest beside the road. Huo Weilou walked more than ten feet inside and stopped his horse in front of a moss-covered bluestone. He turned over and dismounted, then pinched Bo Ruoyou's waist and pulled her away. Lifted it down.
It was said that he was carrying it because his hand was really not heavy. As soon as Bo Ruoyou's feet touched the ground, he let go of his hand. She staggered and almost fell down again. Huo Weilou raised his hand and the ointment lay on it. In the palm of his hand, "Apply the medicine quickly."
Bo Ruoyou opened his eyes and looked at Huo Weilou. Huo Weilou frowned and said, "You know how to treat medicine yourself, so you need me to do it for you——"
Before he finished speaking, Bo Ruoyou grabbed the ointment and limped behind the bluestone.
Huo Weilou stood beside the bluestone with an unpredictable expression.
It was not surprising to him that Bao Ruoyou was injured. Not to mention his delicate and tender daughter, even the new recruits who had just entered the battlefield had to go through this test. Only when the flesh and blood were scabbed and formed a cocoon could they be spared from the pain. . It's not that he doesn't care about her, it's just that he has been in power for many years, and the men who follow him are all iron-blooded men. For him, the mighty Marquis Wu Zhao, to spend so much time on such a trivial matter, there is really no reason for him to do that.
The moonlight is as quiet as water, casting dark shadows in the forest. The scent of pine is tangy, but Huo Weilou always smells another kind of light fragrance of grass, trees and flowers. He knows that it is the fragrance of Bo Ruoyou.
For a moment, the traces of blood on the moon-white underwear just now came into his mind again. Although such minor injuries were not worth mentioning to him, Bo Ruoyou was a woman, and her face looked painful just now. It was so difficult that I even shed tears.
It's not very poignant and grievance, but very restrained, and she probably didn't know that she was crying, but the look of gritting her teeth and enduring it reminded him of some long-standing past, but full of hustle and bustle.
Suddenly, in the silence where you could hear the drop of a needle, a burst of clear clothes suddenly sounded. The two were only separated by a stone. Of course, he knew what Bao Ruoyou was doing at this moment.
Huo Weilou turned his head and stared at the huge bluestone that was almost as tall as a person, his eyes dimming for a moment.
Bo Ruoyou's wound was private, and when she thought about how casually Huo Weilou had lifted up her skirt just now, as if he were lifting a curtain, she felt furious. Who could believe that the famous Marquis Wu Zhao could be so rude!
Bo Ruoyou burst into tears in pain while applying the medicine. Thinking of the people waiting outside, she didn’t dare to delay. After gritting her teeth and applying the medicine, she broke out in a cold sweat. Soon, she was limping again. walked out from behind the blue stone.
When I came out, I found that Huo Weilou was missing.
The forest was quiet and the moonlight was clear. Although she was a little angry at Huo Weilou, he gave her medicine and took her into the forest without leaving her alone. At this time, the person was gone, and she couldn't help but feel panicked.
"Can I still leave?"
Huo Weilou's voice sounded in the other direction.
" If I had no other choice, would I have just gritted my teeth and endured it?"
Bo Ruoyou's eyebrows drooped, feeling that he was dragging everyone down.
Huo Weilou handed over the water bag and took out a pill with an indistinguishable color and said, "Take it."
Bao Ruoyou raised his head and glanced at Huo Weilou, and quickly swallowed the pill with two mouthfuls of ice water. Huo Weilou showed a trace of satisfaction on his face, then walked to the horse, hung up the water bag and turned over. Got the horse.
Under his seat is a black horse with a very tall body. It is snoring at the moment. Although it has been galloping all day, it is still not tired. Huo Weilou sits high on the horse and sees the thinness. Ruoyou walked past him and asked impatiently: "Where are you going?"
Bao Ruoyou stopped and looked back at him. He narrowed his eyes and took two steps forward. When he reached Bao Ruoyou, he leaned over and lifted her to him. Bao Ruoyou's eyes widened. Opening his eyes wide, as soon as the words came to his lips, he heard Huo Weilou say: "Do you want to walk to Famen Temple by yourself?"
As she spoke, the horses were urged on, and the two of them quickly came out of the forest. Outside, all the embroiderers dismounted from their horses to rest, and could hardly catch their breath. When he saw the two of them coming out, Eunuch Fu hurriedly came up to greet her, "What's the matter? Is Youyou injured?"
Bo Ruoyou felt a little uncomfortable, "People's daughter——"
"Extremely stupid." Huo Weilou said with some displeasure.
Eunuch Fu raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes, "Then...Master Hou, this is..."
"Let's go like this. It's already dark and it's hard to find a place to rest." After Huo Weilou finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and saw that Bo Ruoyou lowered his head and looked in his direction. He could only Her eyelashes cast a dark shadow on her eyelids like a fan. Although she couldn't see the expression in her eyes, the tip of her nose was white from the cold and her thin lips were blue. The corners of her lips were tightly pursed at the moment.
Huo Weilou beat his horse and left. Eunuch Fu and the embroidered clothes envoys also got on their horses. Bo Ruoyou's horse started to have fun without its burden.
This is the first time that Bao Ruoyou has been so close to a man. Even her adoptive father, who has raised her for more than ten years, only held her when she was a child. Therefore, when Huo Weilou's powerful aura enveloped her like a mountain, , her breathing became three points lighter.
She sat sideways in front of Huo Weilou, her back stiff and her face tense. Because she didn't dare to lean against Huo Weilou, she stood upright like a piece of wood. Without any worries, she followed the horse's movements. After a while of jolting and swaying, I heard Huo Weilou's cold voice: "Will I eat you?"
Bo Ruoyou felt his scalp numb, "People's girls are stupid——"
Huo Weilou almost felt that Bo Ruoyou was blocking him with his words. He laughed angrily at her. When he lowered his eyes again, he saw that Bo Ruoyou's brows and eyes were drooping, and his delicate ears and white neck were exposed. In his eyes, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. The next moment, he raised his hand to cover her head with the hood of her cloak. He immediately covered her head tightly, and then pushed her into his arms. , and now there is no more dangling obstruction in front of me.
Bao Ruoyou said nothing, but he couldn't see her expression, and he didn't know what expression she was making. He only felt that the person in his arms was stiff at first, and after a while, he finally lost the strength to tense up, so he leaned against her softly. in front of him.
When the hood was off, Bo Ruoyou breathed a sigh of relief, as if it was a curtain blocking Huo Weilou's breath. With this curtain, she felt relaxed both physically and mentally. Huo Weilou's chest was broad and warm. The whole person looked gloomy and cold, but his arms were tightly wrapped around her, holding on to the reins to protect him, which inexplicably made her feel at ease.
Bao Ruoyou sighed in his heart, forget it, what else can he do? He was the Marquis of Wu Zhao and he had saved her life. She shouldn't blame him harshly for that disrespectful act. I was afraid that in his heart, there was no difference between lifting a woman's skirt and taking off a man's clothes.
After persuading herself for a long time, Bo Ruoyou relied on Huo Weilou to laze around without any burden. Apart from anything else, now that Huo Weilou was taking her, she could finally get through the night.
The two rode together and were traveling at night again. Huo Weilou slowed down his horse speed. Half an hour later, Huo Weilou noticed that Bao Ruoyou was leaning closer to her. After listening carefully again, he realized that she Breathing long and hard, he fell asleep!
Huo Weilou: "..."
Huo Weilou felt that he was about to be laughed at by Bo Ruoyou again. He looked reluctant just a moment ago, but now he felt at ease and slept next to him. He was so brave!
He couldn't help but slow down his horse a little more. He raised his eyes and looked at the clear moon in the sky. Suddenly he realized that he had not been traveling like this for a long time. Any journey under the stars and at night was extremely urgent. He didn't know how to work hard, and the people who followed him were also in a hurry. Gradually it becomes as strong as iron. He lowered his eyes again. The person in his arms was not a strong man. Not only that, he realized at this moment that the woman was weak and boneless was not a joke.
Huo Weilou tightened his arms tighter.
When Bao Ruoyou woke up, she could already see the sun breaking through the clouds on the horizon. At this moment, they were walking to the top of a mountain. As soon as she rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes, she saw a bright red sun rising from the horizon. With a touch, the clouds were ignited like fire, and the green mountains and the vast fields were all bright for a moment.
Bao Ruoyou pulled down his hood and raised his face to face the glow, "It's so beautiful——"
"Where is the beauty?"
“The rising sun is like fire, and the mountains and rivers are clear. We admire them again from the top of the mountain. The work of heaven is truly shocking to our hearts and souls. I have never...”
Bo Ruoyou's admiring words stopped, and his face suddenly stiffened. Huo Weilou said "Oh" and said inexplicably, "It's never been like this? Why don't you continue talking?"
The heat of Huo Weilou's words fell on the top of her hair, making her spine tingle again. She was so sleepy that she forgot that she was on Wu Zhaohou's horse, what "we" and what "I" were. , she is so presumptuous!
Bo Ruoyou frowned and said cautiously: "A folk girl... has never seen the sunrise. Although we often see the sunrise, standing on the top of the mountains and having a broad field of vision is still very different."
While talking, he straightened his body and his voice became less excited.
Huo Weilou said calmly: "What's the difference?"
His tone was calm, but it gave people the feeling that he was testing her and wanted to hear the flaws in her words. Bo Ruoyou was nervous for a moment, "In addition to the miraculous workmanship of the heaven and earth, how can ordinary women enjoy the scenery?" The reason for this is also because the country of the Zhou Dynasty is peaceful and the people are safe, the seas and rivers are clear, and the Marquis here is indispensable. The girls of the people are the people of the Zhou Dynasty, so they should feel quite blessed."
Huo Weilou gave a short laugh and said, "Did He Cheng teach you how to flatter a horse?"
Bao Ruoyou blinked and said, "The daughter of the people speaks from the bottom of her heart."
Huo Weilou spoke in a relaxed voice and said quietly: "How do you, a little girl, know what peace is for the country and the people?"
Bao Ruoyou couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Huo Weilou. Just as Huo Weilou also lowered his eyes to look at her, their eyes met and their breaths met. Shocked Bo Ruoyou hurriedly lowered his eyes again, but she looked straight and said: "A common girl is a little girl. Although her parents died young, she grew up smoothly. The skills she learned are extraordinary, but there is room for them to be put to use. A common girl is not rich and noble, but she is content and happy. She does not blame the king and does not hate her. Neighbors, now on the back of Lord Hou’s horse, I still admire the majesty of the morning sun, and I am also proud of being born as a Zhou person. Isn’t the country peaceful and the people safe?”
Huo Weilou did not make any further remarks.
Hearing that he didn't say anything, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him. Looking from her direction, Huo Weilou had handsome features and his phoenix eyes were looking deep into the sky. The clouds reflected in his eyes were like mountains and rivers. The magnificence is all in his eyes.
Also in his palm.
Before Bao Ruoyou had time to look away, Huo Weilou had lowered his eyes to look at her, "If everyone thinks like you, then the country will be truly peaceful and the people will be safe."
Bao Ruoyou did not lower her eyes in a hurry this time. She looked at Huo Weilou. His eyes had never been able to distinguish emotions, but at this time, she seemed to have caught a glimpse of the depth in them. She suddenly asked: "Master Hou, read Buddhist scriptures?"
Huo Weilou didn't know why she asked this question, so he raised his eyebrows and said: "When I joined the army, there were millions of corpses floating on the battlefield. Do you think I can practice Buddhism?"
Bo Ruoyou was not shocked by his words. She just continued speaking with determination, "There is a saying in the Lotus Sutra, 'One lamp spreads to all lamps, and eventually all lamps are bright.' The wish of the Marquis is also expressed in the same way."
Bo Ruoyou's beautiful eyes are like stars, clear and graceful. When she holds back, her eyes seem to be stained with the thin mist of the Lancang River. The moonlight shines in the mist, making it difficult to see clearly. But she has no reservations. When you are here, these eyes are like the bottom of a clear pool, and they can only tolerate you.
Huo Weilou said nothing for a moment. The next moment, he suddenly raised his hand to cover Bo Ruoyou's eyes. The next moment, he put his hood over her head and raised his whip like a string. Speeding down the mountain like an arrow!
It was still a whole day of driving. At sunset, the team entered a village. It was still early, but if we went further, we would miss this place, and I don’t know where the next village is. It was inevitable that they would have to travel another night. Huo Weilou did not need Eunuch Fu's advice this time, so he ordered everyone to rest here.
This place has crossed the border of Qingzhou and entered Luozhou. The inn is bigger than Laifu Inn. The embroidered clothes envoy has booked the seven or eight vacant rooms on the second floor. As usual, Bo Ruoyou lives at the end next to Huo Wei Building. inside the house.
After driving for two days and one night, not to mention Bo Ruoyou, even the embroiderers looked exhausted. Eunuch Fu even screamed with backache. In the whole team, only Huo The dangerous building is still tall and sturdy.
As soon as Bo Ruoyou arrived at the inn, he entered the guest room. The medicine given by Huo Weilou was good, and the day was not as difficult as the first day. But riding on the horse for two days and one night was worse than walking on the carriage for one day. The whole day was many times more uncomfortable, and Bao Ruoyou didn't dare to be careless. She was going to help Huo Weilou perform an autopsy, and it would be a mistake if she got tired and sick on the way.
So, after dinner and a simple scrub in the evening, she told Eunuch Fu to go to bed and rest.
Huo Weilou received the report from Eunuch Fu and sneered, "She was the only one who slept with me last night."
Eunuch Fu sighed, "Could it be that the Marquis cannot use Youyou as a man? Speaking of which, why not find her a carriage."
Huo Weilou remained steadfast, "No, Lin Huai is already here, no delay."
Eunuch Fu was a little worried, "Then the Marquis should still take Youyou with him. I'm afraid something will go wrong if I let her ride the horse. If she falls sick from exhaustion, there will be no one available for the Marquis."
Huo Weilou said a faint "hmm", as if he was reluctant but had to do it.
Bo Ruoyou slept until it was dark. When he woke up the next morning, he felt that most of his energy had been restored. After breakfast, the group was ready to set off again. After taking her all the way, now that she had a night's rest, she would probably have to ride a horse by herself. For this reason, she wore two pairs of underpants.
However, when she came out, Huo Weilou waved to her from horseback, "Don't come over yet -"
Bao Ruoyou walked up to him and said, "Master Hou, today the daughter of the people herself..."
"Don't waste your time." He leaned forward and brought Bao Ruoyou in front of him.
Bao Ruoyou hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the other embroiderers were looking at him, he did not dare to say anything. When the horse galloped out of the inn, he consciously put on his hood.
The horse rested for the night, and the journey was faster today. This time, Huo Weilou did not enter Luozhou City, but only went to Qixia Mountain. He took a shortcut and saved some time, and waited until he arrived at the foot of Qixia Mountain. By that time, the night had just fallen.
Knowing that Marquis Wu Zhao was arriving today, there were a lot of people waiting at the foot of Qixia Mountain. Not only was the Assembly of Ten Thousand Buddhas canceled at Famen Temple, but even the mountain gate was closed early in the morning. Therefore, when Huo Weilou arrived, the foot of the mountain was deserted. There were no pilgrims.
From afar, everyone saw something in front of Huo Weilou. Everyone knew Huo Weilou's character. For a moment, they thought Huo Weilou had something in front of him, but when the horse relaxed closer, they gradually saw that it was a human figure. At this time, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
And when Huo Weilou reined in his horse and arrived, everyone saw that there was a beautiful woman in Huo Weilou's arms. They all widened their eyes in surprise. It was the embroidered clothes envoy Xiaoqi who represented Huo Weilou who had arrived five days earlier. Yu Luke reacted the fastest and came forward to salute immediately.
"Greetings to Mr. Hou, Mr. Hou has worked hard all the way."
Huo Wei came downstairs and threw the whip to Lu Ke. He turned around and saw Bao Ruoyou dismounting carefully, so he grabbed her waist and put her down.
Lu Ke's eyebrows jumped a little, "Master Hou, several adults are here, including Master Jingming."
After saying this, several people standing behind him came forward to salute.
Lin Huai, the minister of punishment, was cooperating with Huo Weilou to handle the case. He was the first to come forward and said, "Meet the Marquis——"
There were three more people following behind, all of whom were middle-aged men. Although their looks were different, they were all dressed in fine clothes.
Finally, dressed in cassock, the solemn-looking Master of Famen Temple, Jingming, said, "Amitabha, the benefactor has come from afar and is tired. The poor monk has been greeting me for a long time."
Huo Weilou didn't pay homage to Buddha, nor did he believe in Buddhism. He just nodded and gave up.
Then he looked at Lu Ke and Lin Huai, "How is the temple now?"
Lin Huai said: "Xiaguan arrived yesterday and asked about the general situation. However, it is getting late now. The Marquis has been tired all the way. Do you want to take a rest first?"
Huo Weilou stared, "Master Lin, you still don't know the rules of this prince?"
Lin Huai was established in his old age. Although he held the position of minister, the current Minister of the Ministry of Justice has the intention to retire. Lin Huai is almost certain to be the next Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He can be regarded as a high-ranking official in the court. However, in this case, in In front of Huo Weilou, there was no difference between him and He Cheng.
Lin Huai quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Yes, I am confused. Please enter the temple first."
Huo Weilou nodded and led a group of people to the temple. There is a mountain gate at the foot of the mountain. Just looking at this place, you can see the magnificence of Famen Temple. You can see the towering archway and the royal plaque on it. , "Famen Temple" with three characters of iron paintings and silver hooks, very impressive. After entering the mountain gate, there are ninety-nine stone steps. Everyone climbed up the steps and arrived at the main entrance of Famen Temple.
Famen Temple is located in the middle of Qixia Mountain. There are Buddhist halls and pagodas built on the mountain. The highest point is the Changming pagoda, which is said to also enshrine relics. At this moment, the whole Qixia Mountain is shrouded in night. But the Changming Lamp Pagoda at the highest point is brightly lit, going far away, and it feels quite Zen-like.
After entering the temple gate, they saw that although the incense was burning, it was quiet and simple, and there were no practicing monks. Lin Huai followed Huo Weilou and said: "The temple has been closed for half a month, but it is still clean now. Everything The monks are all in their own monasteries. Those who have no orders and no business to attend to, rarely come out these days."
Huo Weilou asked directly: "Where are the corpses?"
Lin Huai said: "In the west side courtyard."
Huo Weilou didn't need to say anything, Lin Huai had already led the way to the west, followed by the host, Lu Ke and others. Bo Ruoyou fell a few steps behind and followed Eunuch Fu. She was wearing a cloak and frowning. But despite this, the people walking in front still looked back at her from time to time.
On the outside, Mr. Fu was smiling and seemed not to take it seriously, but his attitude only made people speculate about Bo Ruoyou's identity.
Going west along the corridor in the temple, you soon arrived at the place where the corpses were placed.
It is said to be a side courtyard, but it is a brand-new Buddhist hall that has not yet been used. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Lin Huai said, "This is the site where Famen Temple was expanded last year. It is intended to be used by monks for daily lectures." Cultivation, this time is temporarily used to park the corpse." After a pause, Lin Huai said again, "Master Feng's corpse is also parked in the wing here."
Huo Weilou nodded lightly and took a few steps to reach the brightly lit main hall. But before he entered the door, he first saw a seven or eight-foot-tall golden statue of the Lord placed alone in the main hall.
He stopped and frowned slightly, "This is-"
Lu Ke stepped forward and said: "Master Hou, this statue of Lord Kassapa was sculpted ten years ago. A month ago, the temple had to repaint the statue of the Lord in preparation for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Conference. When it was moved, The statue fell and the base cracked. It was suspected that the bones of Master Jingkong were discovered after they fell out of the golden body."
Bo Ruoyou, who was standing behind, frowned.
The Buddha statue has been in the temple for ten years, and people kneel and worship it every day, but inside... there is always a corpse whose identity is difficult to identify?
In an instant, this solemn and solemn Buddhist temple became strange and gloomy.
