It was said that Zhou Xiaoxiao returned to the house and handed over the shop and workshop operations to Aunt Ji.The sign of the December Cake Shop has already started in Fengxiang, and it stands firm on its heels. Customers are coming in like a cloud every day, and demand exceeds supply.Therefore, there is no need for Zhou Xiaoxiao to worry too much, and Aunt Ji is an experienced old man, so there is no need to handover.

After a day or two, Yu Xingzhi came to invite, and Zhou Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Wu Daoquan and his wife.

She wore a green bamboo hat, a green gauze shirt, a white belt wrapped around the moon, straddling a goose feather knife, and struck a carry bag.Only accompanied by Juanzi.

Together with Yu Xingzhi, Cheng Shizhao, Cheng Shiqi, and a group of guards, there are a total of ten or twenty people.Leaving Fengxiang, I took the road to go to Kyoto.

The group of people drove two carriages, mainly for Yu Xingzhi and Cheng Shiqi, two "sick scholars".The rest were all disguised as ordinary businessmen, riding along with them.

Juanzi was not used to it at first, Zhou Xiaoxiao took her on a horse, and not long after she rode adeptly, and walked happily on her own.

After walking in this way for two or three days, the crowds were getting thinner and the roads were barren.On both sides are green pines and cypresses.The props are the mountains and mountains, continuous indigo and green yarn.

Cheng Shiqi was bored in the car for a few days, and gradually became impatient.On this day, I changed horses and said to go for a ride, but I ran out of sight.

King Yan shouted to him and wanted to catch up. He looked back at Yu Xingzhi's frame, feeling a little uneasy.Yu Xingzhi said in the car: "Cousin, His Royal Highness Nine is by nature mad and ignorant of world affairs. Go and look at him carefully and make some mistakes carefully."

Cheng Shizhao drove his horse around Yu Xingzhi's car, "Who is impatient to follow that second fool. It's you who suffered a big loss in Shu, but you don't have a long memory. If I don't stare at you, if you are secretly caught by this demon girl I killed my life, how can I go back and explain to my aunt?"

The curtain of the car opened with a brush, revealing Zhou Xiaoxiao's face.

Cheng Shizhao took a step back subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaoxiao smirked, then brushed the curtain up again.

From inside the car came Zhou Xiaoxiao's pretentious voice: "Oh, my demon girl's legs are sore when sitting in the car. Brother Xingzhi, can you help me rub it."

Yu Xingzhi endured his uncontrollable voice: "Don't make trouble."

When Cheng Shizhao was defeated, he felt that he had never suffered such a frustration since he became the king.

Point two people casually: "Go, catch up with your Nine Lords! I don't have any eyesight, do I still need to tell you?"

——————————————————

Here Cheng Shiqi got up for a while, leaving everyone aside, riding a horse.

Looking at the beautiful scenery all the way, I only feel that my mind is open.

Inadvertently walked through several hills, and then turned out a steep peak.

I saw that the mountain was steep and towering, with a narrow ladder in the middle straight up, and there were strange rocks and grass everywhere.Behind the green pine and dense bamboo in the Mid-Levels Col, the red wall and glazed tiles of the ancient temple faintly revealed, quite solemn and desolate.

There was a herbal tea shed at the foot of the mountain where two bald monks were selling tea for alms.Set up a table and a few benches.There are a few tea bowls, a teapot, and a money box on the table.

Cheng Shiqi was so accustomed to leisure and labor. After driving all this way, she felt flustered, short of breath, and thirsty.

Just as they were about to ask for a bowl of tea, the two guards caught up from behind and stopped and said, "Jiuye, the food in this barren mountain is not very clean. Our own motorcade has water. Please also Jiuye later. After Liu Ye and Yu Wu Ye arrive, the younger ones will serve Jiu Ye."

Cheng Shiqi only felt thirsty in her throat, so she couldn't bear to wait, she just ignored it.

The two monks were sitting opposite each other and drinking under the tree, and when they saw someone coming, they didn't come forward to greet them.He said in the mouth: "If several donors are thirsty on the road, and there is crude tea made in mountain spring water on the table, you can take it for yourself. You can give it as you wish, and it will not earn you tea money."

After talking about drinking, they ignored them.

One of the guards stepped forward, poured half a bowl of tea and drank it by himself, then washed the bowl twice with tea, before pouring a bowl, and respectfully serving it to Cheng Shiqi.

Cheng Shiqi saw that the tea was muddy.Drink in the mouth, only slightly bitter, the right to make tea.Sit at the table and took a few sips before putting it down.

But he smelled a strange fragrance in the wind, coming from the wine jars in the hands of the two monks.

Cheng Shizhao asked the monk, "Dare to ask the two brothers, what is the name of Xiangshan? Where is the treasure?"

The monk glanced at each other and all got up and saluted: "Dare to ask the benefactor. This mountain is called Tiger Cave Mountain, and an ancient temple in the mountain is called Qianzhong Temple. The two little monks are the walking monks in the temple."

Cheng Shizhao performed a Buddhist ritual: "I have to meet two senior brothers. Fortunately, fortunately. It's just that the brothers drank the wine, so fragrant. I was tired and hungry on the way down. I don't know if I can give me some drinks Thank you with your own money."

The two monks shook their heads repeatedly: "The benefactor doesn't know anything about it. The climate in the mountains is wet and cold. I have to drink some vegetarian wine to fight against it. This wine is made by the wild apes in the mountains, and it is called'monkey wine'. I can't wait enough, how will I sell it to you?"

Cheng Shizhao's heart was itchy, "It's really thirsty and helpless, just sell it to me."

When the two guards saw this, they took out a large silver bullion and scolded: "Monk Wu Na, Hugh is so awkward. Since my son wants to drink your monkey wine, why not sell it? You never lost your money. ."

The monk wandered over to the table and poured three bowls of wine, clutching the jar and refused to pour it.

Cheng Shiqi saw that the wine was like amber in color, clear and bright, and the fragrance was amazing.I am overjoyed in my heart, this "monkey wine" is a legendary thing, I can't expect to see it here today.

The two guards were also curious, and when they saw that the wine was poured from the monk's self-drinking can, they stopped worrying.The two clinked bowls and drank.

Cheng Shiqi drank a bowl, still wanting to ask for it later, but felt her feet soft, and the sky was spinning, saying, "How can this wine be so powerful?" He fainted on the table.

The two monks laughed.He said in his mouth: "I saw you as a scholar who was not burdened, but I had these two vicious companions as my companions. I didn't want to pay attention to you. If you go in silently, you will just give up. How do you know that your fat pig arched, arbitrarily It's no wonder the monk grandfather to be delivered."

The two guards were also weak in their hands and feet, slumped on the ground, unable to move.Fortunately, one of them, Li Quan, was determined and never unconscious.Seeing that something was wrong, he drew out his dagger and stuck it in his leg. By eating pain, he barely awoke and struggled. When the two strong men were unprepared, he turned on his horse and escaped.

——————————————————

But Yu Xingzhi, Cheng Shizhao and his party drove slowly.

One person in front was seen galloping back.

Before he got close, a knight rolled down on horseback, mixed with blood, and only said: "The big thing is not good, the Nine Highness was plundered up the mountain by two strong men!"

Everyone was shocked, waiting for Li Quan to explain the whole story.

Cheng Shizhao palmed his boxing hand and cursed: "Wu, that idiot, knows how to eat all day long! This is great, I will eat myself away!"

Yu Xingzhi persuaded: "His Royal Highness, at this moment and not when you are scolding, you should try to rescue you first. If the time is delayed, your Royal Highness may be in danger of life."

"How to rescue? The terrain of the mountain temple is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack." Cheng Shizhao angrily said, "The nearest garrison here is Fengxiang Mansion. It takes three or two days to make a round trip. That is to cut Cheng Shiqi into pieces. It’s enough to dry adult dried meat."

In Zhou Xiaoxiao's impression, Cheng Shizhao was a moody, perverted person, and impetuous.

However, this time she saw the style of this 19-year-old military general who has repeatedly made military exploits and was crowned king.

Although King Yan was furious, he calmed down quickly and decisively dispatched personnel to investigate around. At the same time, he transferred his cronies back to Fengxiang for assistance, and personally led people to sneak to the foot of the mountain to investigate the situation.

After the people lurking in the rocky and strange grass at the foot of the mountain, they raised their heads and looked at the towering mountains. They saw Lianfeng go to the sky and leaned against the cliff.There is an ancient temple hanging in the middle of the mountain, the sword pavilion is magnificent and Cui Wei, a ladder leads directly to the mountain temple, there is a man who is the gate, and the power is not open.①

The spies sent to the surrounding area reported that the Qianzhong Temple on the Tiger’s Cave Mountain was originally a long-standing temple. It has fallen into disrepair and has been left unattended.

I don't know the day, but a big fat monk named Sun Tiangu came. This man was eight feet tall and had a high martial arts skill. He had a good Zen stick, gathered twenty or thirty thieves, and occupied this mountain temple.A monk who pretends to be a Buddha is actually a strong man who cuts the path.Specializes in murdering people and making money and killing people.

Cheng Shizhao murmured secretly, and whispered: "This is really tricky. This mountain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is only a small path up the mountain, but the foot and the mountainside are vaguely set up by thieves. Even if I wait for the strong attack, Ruo Na Hupo thief launched a brutal attack, and cut the old nine-seater head with a single knife, but there is no way to save it."

Seeing no one was speaking, Zhou Xiaoxiao interrupted: "I have an idea. I don't know if it is feasible."

Cheng Shizhao said: "What ideas can a lady-in-law have, let me just talk about it."

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Xingzhi: "Old tricks, look for three or four good players, pretending to be female family members to go to the mountain temple to receive incense, and wait for an opportunity to earn the Nine Highness. The remaining people respond when the opportunity arises."

Yu Xingzhi's eyes lit up and he held her hand and said: "It is possible! Only one point, the mountain is Longtan Tiger Den. The situation is unknown. My cousin and I can go, but you can't go."

"Naturally, I want to go. You can't go when your injury is first healed." Zhou Xiaoxiao shook his hand back, "But forget it, you and I don't fight, we just go together."

Cheng Shizhao was confused and said anxiously: "You are a woman if you pretend to be a female dependent. Who do you want to pretend to be..."

He saw Zhou Xiaoxiao staring at him with round eyes and smiled.

"Nonsense! Ridiculous! How dare you make the lonely king pretend to be a woman!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at the five big and thick guards around and spread his hands: "No way, it won't look like other people."

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao spread his hands: "His Royal Highness is a daughter of gold, so naturally I dare not take risks easily. In that case, Xingzhi and I will go on our own. Your Highness will just be in the foot of the mountain."

"Nonsense, how can I not dare to go!"

Cheng Shizhao felt that she had never seen such a disgusting woman. She could easily arouse her anger with just a few words, making herself furious.

Juanzi heard from the side, and rushed forward: "How can the lady go to that sinister place, if she wants to go, take Juanzi with her."

Zhou Xiaoxiao was taken aback this time: "Don't be fooling around, you are a little maid who has done so much with such things."

Juanzi hugged Zhou Xiaoxiao tightly and said, "There has never been a reason for a master to go to danger and a slave and maidservant to hide behind comfortably. If the lady wants to go, she must take me with him. If there is danger, Juanzi will stand in the way when she is dead. In front of the lady."
