Chapter 296 Lovesickness from a Woman in the Imperial City

On February [-], the dragon looked up.

Five thousand scouts were dispatched from the tiger riders defending the city, and dashed out of the camp amidst the passionate words of Prince Dazhu, and scattered them into the open fields.

According to King Dazhu's guess, this group of Tang cavalry who caused a catastrophe will definitely rush to the land of Lingzhou to pray for help, or they may hide under the high-rise city walls, relying on the protection of Lingzhou State Shepherd, dare not Do not act rashly again.

The two-person scout team galloped day and night, casting a large search and arrest net in the border area between Lingzhou and Liangzhou, and gathered inward layer by layer, intending to wipe out this group of hundreds of people in one go.

At the same time, in a mountain depression less than five miles away from the city of Liangzhou, a group of animals like alert beasts had already smelled the news of the dispatch of the army.

Under the cover of the sky and dust, one can already see the rolled felt tents being folded one by one and placed on the bullock cart.The convoy loaded with grain and grass was already slowly heading towards Lingzhou in a team of strong horses and three people per cart.

Slightly squinting his eyes, Li Xian got up from the yellow mud and quietly led hundreds of people along the foothills towards Stone Town.

……

The view is far away to the imperial city thousands of miles away.

The breath of early spring is strong, and the spring day brings a little warm sunshine to the earth, and the dew that has melted away from the winter snow moistens the earth.

In the bustling imperial city, people shed their old bloated appearance a little, put on thinner outer clothes, and carry the incense to the local temples, burn a stick of incense, pray for a good harvest in the coming year, or pay attention to a peaceful, praying for this year's children. Have a good future.Of course, there are also some families who offer big incense as thick as an arm's knuckle, praying for the safe return of their son who is still on the western expedition.

Now it is no secret that the army has arrived in Lingzhou, and it has already been spread in the imperial city.

Let this piece of city wrapped in the fragrance of fireworks add a touch of worry and dignity.

Qinglong Temple.

The fragrance is lingering, and there are many pilgrims.

This temple, which was originally abolished by Tang Gaozu, was rebuilt again when Li Shimin practiced Buddhism.

The bronze tripods in front of the Daxiong Palace are filled with incense offerings as thick as forearms, and the green smoke curls up, making the whole renovated hall even more solemn.

There are many pilgrims entering and leaving the hall, and most of them come here to offer incense and pray devoutly in the hopeful early spring.

Wearing a crimson cloak and a light veil, the beautiful figure hangs a sword at her waist, and with the support of a heroic woman, she merges into the bustling crowd, patting the long dragon waiting to enter the hall to burn incense.

"Miss, why did we choose to burn incense here? The royal family also has a temple where they burn incense and pray, so there is no shortcut."

The entire palace was clean, even Axiu, who was used to being carefree, spoke softer this time, for fear of disturbing the forbidden area of ​​the house.

The figure with a veil on her face is none other than Princess Changle, who has dedicated herself to travel to and from Qinglong Temple, which is three hours away, in order to burn a stick of incense and pray for safety.

Meimou glanced around at the slow-moving crowd, sighed softly, and the calm autumn water in her eyes rippled gently, and responded softly.

"This was originally the Inspiration Temple. Princess Chengyang was seriously ill when she was cured by Suzhou monks chanting scriptures and praying again. It must be a temple with spiritual energy."

"Mr. Li, he is in a bloody and dangerous battlefield. Only this place full of spiritual energy can show his holiness."

There was a pause in the words, and Princess Changle moved her lotus steps lightly to keep up with the figure in front of her, her eyebrows slightly frowned.

"I asked my third brother to go to the Ministry of War to get the news. The land of Lingzhou is about to confront the army, and Mr. Li is in danger. I only hope that the Lord Buddha will protect him and be safe."

"Now... oh..."

You Lan's sigh made the figure next to her feel anxious, and she frowned and complained.

"It's all to blame for this Li Xian, who is obviously a scribe who creates strange things, but he wants to go to the battlefield with all his might!"

"I still don't want to listen to Miss's suggestion. Everything will be fine if I don't go to this battlefield."

"It's good now. It's a safe and secure battlefield. This time, the city was inexplicably breached, and it's like a disaster."

Looking at the pouting figure complaining, Princess Changle raised her finger to press down the words behind her, revealing a warning look in her eyes.

"I don't dare to say such words in the future! The army's oppression is unexpected and has nothing to do with anyone."

"Besides, as a man of the Tang Dynasty, defending the family and the country is a feat of blood and bravery, so don't slander it!"

With a faint 'oh', Axiu stopped talking, followed Dan's troops, and slowly entered the Daxiong Palace.

Surrounded by fragrance, the majestic golden Buddha cross-legged hall overlooks the sufferings of the world.

Light the three fragrances, and stand beside the beautiful figure kneeling on the futon.

Princess Changle looked up deeply at the Buddha statue in front of her, clasped her palms together, slowly took the fragrance, held it in her hands, and let out her vermilion lips softly.

"God bless my son who went to the Tang Dynasty to return safely."

"Mr. Li has always been idle, and it is uncomfortable to go deep into this battlefield. I hope the Lord Buddha will bless him to clear his mind in the sea of ​​blood and bones, and not to be infected by hostility."

"...I hope he can always remember that in Chang'an City, there is someone who cares most about him day and night..."

He lowered his head and worshiped devoutly, then got up slowly and inserted the fragrance into the incense altar.

Axiu beside her lit three incense sticks again, and when Princess Changle got up, she knelt down slowly.

The slender and heroic eyebrows frowned slightly, looked up at the solemn Buddha statue, and said quietly.

"The Lord Buddha blesses my master to be healthy and safe... For these few days, I don't think about eating or drinking."

"I'm really worried that if this continues, my whole body will be dragged down..."

"...Also, that brave figure was extremely annoying when he went to the west... Especially when he went alone, why did he go deep alone? It made people gnash their teeth, and my master was worried for several days because of this... ...can even have nightmares while resting at night..."

"I hope that the Lord Buddha can make sure that my master can rest in peace..."

The kneeling figure seemed to be at a loss for words, he tilted his head to think for a moment, and kowtowed again.

"Also, although Li Xian hates it, he has a good cooking song after all, so we can't waste it like this... Let him come back safely."

"If the Lord Buddha can really appear, from now on I will definitely offer the incense money every day..."

After rambling on for a long time, Ah Xiu just stood up, and led the figure with wide-eyed eyes towards the outside of the temple.

Princess Changle looked at the figure beside her, and couldn't bear it any longer, so she asked.

"This is you praying for blessings? Why are you so casual? It's too insincere. The Lord Buddha will protect the sincerity. You... oh."

"What? These are all the words in my heart. Look at you, you are so thin, and besides, didn't I add the incense money?"

Knowing that this person who has been fearless since he was a child, and also heard that he can't get into the tricks of gods and ghosts, Princess Changle simply stopped talking.

Pulling this carefree figure into the carriage, he tapped her forehead.

"You man! You have a good heart, but sometimes you really make people laugh and cry!"

"I just hope that Lord Buddha won't haggle with you."
