Abbot Zong's words were shocking, and there was a lot of discussion on the spot. People looked around suspiciously to see who could be the fox demon.
Hong Yu looked panicked, worried that she had really been recognized. Tang Yue sent a message to her, "Find a way to stun him."
Hong Yu came back to her senses, yes, she was a great demon in the transformation stage, and she had many methods. So she secretly used her strength to make the plaque above Abbot Zong's head fall down.
It happened to hit the abbot of Zhongzong alone, and there was no one else around to help him bear the impact. He fainted on the spot, and he probably had to recover for more than a month.
People around shouted: "Abbott!"
The disciples quickly stepped forward to remove the plaque and pulled out Abbot Zong, all in a hurry. Abbot Zong did not use a substitute for this ceremony. He went into battle once and suffered such a heavy blow.
So many people have gathered in front of Qingyang Palace, so the rituals still have to continue, with the eldest disciple of the abbot Zong presiding over the rituals on his behalf.
Coincidentally, the eldest disciple is also named Zong, so now it is really the master and the apprentice's surname.
Tang Yue quietly gave Hong Yu a thumbs up, and Hong Yu stuck out his tongue at her. King Duan didn't notice this little gesture, but Ji Chongguang saw it.
He had a gut feeling that Abbot Zong's injury should be related to these two women. He wanted to find an opportunity to find out about this matter.
When he lowered his head, he saw the dragon pendant hanging on Tang Yue's waist and the phoenix pendant hanging on Hong Yu's waist. He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
What does this mean? Is this the relationship between the two women?
But he immediately denied this idea. He had just seen the woman in red looking at King Duan with deep love in her eyes. She must have truly admired his second brother.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, which could kill two birds with one stone. It could not only destroy the marriage between the Minister of War and Prince Duan, but also find out what happened today.
He decided to seduce Tang Yue and make her fall in love with him, and everything would be solved.
With careful operation, Jin Fu can become his wife, and the benefits of the marriage will be in his hands, and it will be easier to deal with his second brother.
Tang Yue suddenly felt a chill, and cursed in her heart who was plotting against her? Don't let her catch her.
The ritual ceremony at Qingyang Palace ended hastily. Tang Yue felt that Zong Yingkong would not let it go, so he persuaded Hong Yu to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to travel with her to avoid the limelight.
Hong Yu was hesitant at first, "I don't want to be away from His Highness Prince Duan for so long."
Tang Yue also prepared a speech for this: "It doesn't matter, King Duan has received an errand to inspect Suzhou and Hangzhou, and will meet us later."
There will be a lot of explanation for this later, and it can also be done later when they return to Beijing.
Hongyu happily agreed, "Okay, I can travel with His Royal Highness Duan Wang then. I heard that the scenery in Suzhou and Hangzhou is very good, and the craftsmen's clothes and jewelry are also very beautiful, not inferior to those in the capital."
"Okay, let's go to the largest silver building in Suzhou and Hangzhou then." She is now the daughter of the Minister of War, and the monthly silver she gets can still afford to raise a beautiful fox.
What's more, Hong Yu always gave her some gold and asked her to exchange it secretly, so she didn't have to worry about money.
Mrs. Jin is from Suzhou and Hangzhou, so Tang Yue can stay at Grandpa Jin Fu's house this time, which can also be considered as paying Mrs. Jin's greetings and visiting her natal family.
The Minister of the Ministry of War felt that she would soon get married and would not be as relaxed as she is now. It would be good to go out for fun, so he agreed to let her start a family outside.
For safety's sake, let Jin Zui go with her.
In fact, Tang Yue has been upgraded to the fifth level of Qi Refining by Hong Yu. If something happens, she will probably save Jin Zui.
It's also good to bring Jin Zui with them. He is a famous calligrapher and painter, and he knows the places of interest well. He can act as a tour guide for them along the way, explaining the local customs and customs.
Both women listened with great interest.
In addition, the name Jin Zui's gifted scholar is very useful. There are often shops and merchants on the road who want to buy Jin Zui's calligraphy treasures and give them free orders.
It's just that Jin Zui doesn't give inscriptions to all stores, most of them refuse, but the merchants don't mind, and they can also show off their talents when they come to their own homes for consumption.
The Jinfu team walked slowly, stopping and admiring the scenery.
On this day, they met a wealthy businessman. They heard from him that the nearby area was not peaceful and there were bandits, so they hoped to go together together, as there would be more strength in numbers and they would be safer.
Tang Yue agreed. There was nothing suspicious about this wealthy businessman. The government road guide and other documents were complete. Moreover, after passing this mountain, he arrived at his manor, and they would not travel together for too long.
An accident happened anyway. When they passed the mountain, bandits appeared on the road and started a fight with the wealthy businessman and the guards of the Jin Mansion.
Tang Yue asked Jin Zui to hide and arranged for a guard to guard him, "There are too many bandits. Sister Hong and I are both skilled in martial arts. Let's go help. You can hide here."
Jin Zui was very anxious, what could her sister do with her three-legged cat kung fu?
But when he saw from a distance that Jin Fu had killed several bandits, he was dumbfounded. How could the martial arts taught by Miss Hong be so powerful?
He will also learn peerless martial arts from Miss Hong in the future!
King Duan in the dark was also dumbfounded. He did not expect his fiancée to be so brave, nor did he expect that Hong Yu was a martial arts master. In this moment, he had killed more than 20 bandits.
He actually spent more than half a month of good nights with such a terrifying and murderous woman. Her beautiful appearance and gentle personality paralyzed him.
If she was a sent killer, he might be killed by her hands if he didn't pay attention at all.
King Ying who was hiding on the other side of the woods was not too surprised. Since the two women had the ability to make the Qingyang Palace plaque fall down in public, it was easy to deal with the bandits.
He didn't understand what King Duan was so crazy about that he bribed bandits to attack his fiancée and lover.
So he followed behind, planning to wait until the critical moment to show up, maybe he could be a hero and save the beauty.
King Duan had the same idea, waiting until the critical moment for the hero to save the beauty, so that the two women would fall more in love with him.
Especially when he wanted to use his charm on Jin Fu, he didn't believe that he was inferior to King Ying and could not win back Jin Fu's heart.
This is also a good excuse to bring back Hong Yu and Jin Fu, so that the two of them will not run around and run into King Ying.
He felt it was strange that as soon as Jin Fu proposed to stay at her maternal ancestral home in Suhang, King Ying said that he was going to Suhang to visit his uncle's family and pay homage to his natal ancestors on behalf of the queen.
It seems that my good brother has evil intentions and is here for Jin Fu.
The bandit couldn't stand it any longer. The boss thought that this was just a trivial matter. As long as he scared these rich women and let King Duan show up as a hero to save the beauty, he could get a lot of money. This deal was a good deal.
Now that he had lost so many brothers, the entire village was about to be wiped out. He hurriedly shouted into the woods, "Duan..."
But he didn't have the chance to shout the word "king" and was killed by King Duan with an arrow. King Duan led his men and rode out of the woods.
King Ying also rode out, and the two of them rushed to the Jin family's team at about the same time.
Tang Yue looked at these two people confused. Why are they crazy? They actually bribed bandits to attack their team.
Ji Chongguang first noticed that Tang Yue's face was not good-looking and explained, "I happened to pass by here and saw a suspicious person plotting, so I waited aside and prepared to catch all the criminals."
King Duan also explained: "I am the same way. I originally wanted to pick you up, but I didn't expect to encounter bandits. Now I have killed them all."
Tang Yue looked calm, "Oh, what a coincidence, we are so lucky."
Hong Yu was very happy, "His Royal Highness Duan Wang, you came to pick me up specially, I am very happy."
King Ying smiled and said, "It turns out that the second brother came here specially to pick up Miss Hong."
King Duan felt that he was being angry, "I'm here to pick up Afu and Hong'er, and I'm very worried about their safety."
Ji Chongguang suddenly felt that the word "Afu" was very harsh. King Duan was such a half-hearted person that he dared to call him that.
"Miss Hong is not only good-looking, but also very skilled in martial arts. I really envy my second brother to have such a confidante."
