Chapter 95 (1/2)
Ji Qingxue stole a fast horse from another hall and went south at top speed. It took him three days to get to Xiangyue temple.
The place mentioned in Nangong Yan's letter is Xiangyue temple.
Ji Qingxue stood at the gate of the temple and found a monk. She asked, ”master, is there a man named Zhiyuan in the temple?”
As soon as the monk heard the word Zhiyuan, he immediately said, ”Amitabha, I don't know what's the matter with the hostess?”
Ji Qingxue nodded: ”yes, master, please show me. I have something to ask him face to face.”
The monk looked embarrassed: ”benefactor, it's a bad time. The host closed the Customs a month ago. He told me that no one was seen during the closing period. So, benefactor, please go back!”
Before Ji Qingxue finished his words, the monk entered the temple and closed the temple door.
What's going on? According to the monk's meaning, Zhiyuan is closed, and I don't know when I can get out.
Ji Qingxue is in a hurry. She can wait. Nangong Yan can't wait!
Ji Qingxue has an idea. It's obvious that he won't enter, so he can only think of another way!
While it was late, Ji Qingxue climbed over the wall and entered Xiangyue Temple all night. She fell lightly in the courtyard. At the moment, she was in trouble. Who knows where the host lives?
After thinking about it, Ji Qingxue decided to tie up a monk to ask.
Just at this time, a monk hurried to Ji Qingxue with a food box. Ji Qingxue was quick eyed and ordered his acupoints.
”Now what I ask, you will answer. If not, I will...” Ji Qingxue made a movement to wipe his neck.
The monk nodded flustered. Ji Qingxue untied his dumb Cave: ”I ask you, where is the host's room?”
The monk trembled all over. He replied, ”Lord... The host's room is the last one in the West courtyard.”
Ji Qingxue raised her hand and grabbed his neck: ”you didn't lie to me?”
The monk nodded hurriedly, ”I dare not lie to you. I... I just went to deliver food to the host.”
Hearing that the monk was going to deliver rice to Zhiyuan, Ji Qingxue's eyes lit up. He really had no place to find. It took no time to come!
Ji Qingxue grabbed the monk's lunch box and stunned the monk: ”thank you, little monk.”
Ji Qingxue picked up the food box and walked towards the West courtyard.
She went to the last room in the West courtyard. She was close to the door and listened for a while. It seemed that there was no movement in it!
She reached out and opened the door. As soon as she entered the door, she found that there was really no one inside.
Ji Qingxue scolded secretly and was cheated by the little monk!
”Benefactor, why do you want to see me?”
Ji Qingxue put down the food box and said to Zhiyuan, ”host, Qingxue didn't mean to disturb your retreat, but I was entrusted. If you have something to come, please ask the host to solve your doubts.”
Zhiyuan touched his gray beard and said with a smile, ”who entrusted him?”
”King Rui, Nangong Yan.”
Hearing Nangong Yan, Zhiyuan Gu Jing's expression was cracked: ”King Rui? Female benefactor, please sit down!”
”Host, don't call me, benefactor. Just call me Qingxue.”
Zhi Yuan said with a smile, ”I dare not call the princess so directly.”
So he knows.
Ji Qingxue took out the letter from her arms and handed it to Zhiyuan: ”host, this is what he asked me to ask you.”
Zhiyuan received the letter and opened it. His face became very dignified.
After he hadn't spoken for a long time, Ji Qingxue asked carefully, ”host? But what's the difficulty?”
Holding the letter in his hand, Zhi Yuan said to Ji Qingxue, ”this matter is very important. If King Rui can let you come, you must trust the princess very much. I must know everything and say everything. This is also my promise to King Rui.”
Zhiyuan handed the letter to Ji Qingxue: ”do you know what he wants to ask?”
Ji Qingxue shook her head. She only read the first page of the letter and knew the person nangongyan wanted to find, but she didn't have time to read the second page in the future.
Ji Qingxue took the letter and was stunned.
Chu Yushang, nangongyan's mother, died shortly after giving birth to him, and nangongyan was cold and poisonous as soon as he was born.
One year after Chu Yushang left, Ji Qingxue's mother was buried in the sea of fire.
