Since the Gao County magistrate had been following Zhao Xiaole just now, they didn't notice it at all.
Now looking at the official uniform he was wearing, I was so frightened that I quickly knelt down in front of him.
"Young men are the servants of the Wanxian County Government. They are here with us this time. Please forgive me for being blind and not seeing you. I have offended you. I hope you will atone for your sins!"
After saying this, they quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Wanxian?"
Gao County Magistrate Liu Qingyun was stunned for a moment.
Because Wanxian County is not under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou, but is within the territory of Pingzhou and is under the overall jurisdiction of King Pingxi.
Their county magistrate went to his own territory, but he didn't even know it!
This made him quickly turn around and bow to Zhao Xiaole to apologize: "This matter was due to the negligence of my subordinates, which made them offend the Marquis. Please forgive me!"
"Master Hou!"
Hearing Liu Qingyun's address to Zhao Xiaole, the eyes of those government officials suddenly went dark and they almost fell down.
Even if they didn't fall, they were trembling all over and feeling extremely frightened.
They never expected that a young man they met randomly on the road turned out to be a marquis, and he was scolded by them...
They even have the urge to cry now.
Why am I so unlucky?
Zhao Xiaole glanced at Liu Qingyun, waved his hand and said: "It's not your fault, just get up!"
After saying that, he looked at the government officials again and said with a majestic tone: "Who is your master's name and why are you here?"
The government officials were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they replied with trembling voices: "Master Qi, my name is Cai Shun. I heard that I came here to pray to the Bodhisattva here, so I am here to fulfill my wish."
"
"Some people also say that my master's sister has become a monk here, and he wants to come and pick her up. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know very well..."
"really!"
Zhao Xiaole raised his eyebrows, and a chill flashed in his eyes.
He had already guessed that this matter must be related to Qin Cao's younger brother, but he did not expect that Qin Cao's younger brother had already become the county magistrate of Wan County.
"No wonder I didn't find him when I asked people to search for him in the city. It turns out that he had already left Chuzhou long ago!"
Zhao Xiaole snorted coldly, glanced at the government officials and said: "You guys are here to guard, if you dare to run around, I will skin you!"
The group of government officials were immediately startled by these words. They shrank their necks and said with panic, "Yes!"
"snort!"
After saying that, Zhao Xiaole flicked his sleeves and walked inside.
Seeing his menacing look, Liu Qingyun was so frightened that he did not dare to express his anger, and quickly led others to follow him.
The nunnery on Linglong Mountain is not very large, so there are relatively few monks inside and the place is not large.
Not long after Zhao Xiaole walked in, he found the Buddhist temple of the nunnery.
At the entrance of the Buddhist temple, a group of majestic officers armed with swords were guarding.
Inside the Buddhist hall, there were bursts of chanting of Buddhist sutras and the sound of wooden fish being knocked continuously.
There seemed to be a vague voice of a man yelling.
When they saw Zhao Xiaole, the government officials immediately scolded him.
But before they could speak, they saw a large group of police officers from Gao County rushing in from outside the courtyard, numbering in the hundreds!
Seeing them, Liu Qingyun immediately ordered: "Control everyone here. If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed!"
"yes!"
Hundreds of people swarmed forward, and in an instant, the policemen from Wanxian County raised their hands in surrender, and knelt down with horror on their faces, begging for mercy.
The movement outside obviously alarmed the people inside.
There was a sudden silence in the noisy Buddhist hall, and then, a handsome-looking man walked out from the door of the Buddhist hall, with a bookish air all over his body.
At this time, his brows were furrowed, his face was a little gloomy, and his eyes suddenly fell on Liu Qingyun.
"Master Liu, what are you doing?"
He obviously knows Liu Qingyun.
This immediately made Liu Qingyun snort coldly and said: "Master Cai came to Gao County, but did not inform me, the county magistrate. Isn't there something wrong?"
The wrinkles on Cai Shun's forehead suddenly became deeper.
It stands to reason that when he, an official from Wan County, arrived in Gao County, he really wanted to inform Liu Qingyun.
It's just that he didn't want the matter to be too public, so he didn't go.
They originally planned to finish the work and leave, but they didn't expect that it was such a coincidence that Liu Qingyun met them on the mountain.
Now that things have reached this point, he can only say: "I am not here for any important matter. I originally wanted to go to your Lord's house to apologize after finishing this matter, but I didn't expect that Your Lordship came here in advance.
."
"In this case, Cai will apologize to Mr. Liu here!"
As he said that, he bowed his hand to Liu Qingtian, but he didn't apologize in the slightest. Instead, he looked very arrogant.
This made Liu Qingyun even more angry and his eyes burst into flames, but he did not dare to get angry, but looked at Zhao Xiaole.
However, at this time, Zhao Xiaole had already reached the entrance of the hall.
At a glance, he saw Qin Cao sitting in the crowd, solemnly reciting Buddhist scriptures.
Although she had already ordained and became a monk at this time, Zhao Xiaole recognized her at a glance just from her back!
Zhao Xiaole walked to her side, and sure enough, traces of the past could still be seen on her delicate face.
"Miss Qin, what are you doing?"
Zhao Xiaole frowned.
It had only been a few months since I left Gaoxian County, but I didn't expect that Qin Cao had already become a nun.
When he heard Zhao Xiaole's voice, Qin Cao, who had been reciting Buddhist scriptures without any distractions just now, suddenly trembled all over, his eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The moment she saw Zhao Xiaole, her calm eyes suddenly showed a trace of ripples. Although she quickly regained her composure, Zhao Xiaole keenly captured it.
"Amitabha! Donor, the poor monk named Qinchao is not the Qin girl in the mouth of the benefactor. You must have recognized the wrong person!"
She clasped her hands together and said.
The wrinkles on Zhao Xiaole's brow suddenly deepened.
He didn't feel that he had recognized the wrong person.
Moreover, Qin Cao's reaction when he saw him just now was that he obviously knew him.
I just don't know why, but she seems to be tired of the past and wants to cut off from the past, so she pretends not to recognize herself.
This made his face darken, and he said in a deep voice: "Buddhists say: the cause of the past life is the result of this life. Since the master has experienced the world of mortals, why should he keep secret about his past?"
"Isn't this just deceiving yourself and others, and you will never be able to get rid of it!"
As soon as Zhao Xiaole said these words, the old nun sitting at the front of the group suddenly opened his eyes and said with approval: "The donor's words are very true, Qin Chao, although you have entered my empty door, your earthly connection has not been broken."
"Today, I allow you to go down the mountain. Whether you cut off the worldly ties and follow me to practice, or return to the world, you should follow your own wishes!"
"You must not escape into Buddhism just because you want to escape the world, and you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
