C536 The Supervisor Told Him That Lu Yongjun Temple Was Hiding Something Outside the Temple

"Emperor, this Luochen Mountain was once the location of a royal temple in the previous dynasty. It is a place that is easy to defend and hard to attack. I think that they must have chosen that place because of this. " At this moment, Shunzi who was at the side cupped his hands and said.

In these two years, Shunzi had made great contributions in helping them to preside over the government. Hence, they gradually gained their trust. However, it was only limited to trust and would not be entrusted with an important task. Therefore, Shunzi was usually by his side unless it was a very confidential matter. He would send Shunzi away.

"Oh? You know about Luochen Mountain?" Zhao Yongjun asked happily after hearing what Steward Wang said.

" This servant knows that the terrain of the Luochen Mountain is extremely dangerous. The legend is. . . " After saying that, Eunuch Wang told him the legend of the Luochen Mountain in detail.

"I never thought that a tiny Luochen Mountain would have such a legend. How do you know all of this?" Nie Xiong nodded and said.

"Back to First Master. According to the legend, there is a creature in the Fallen Dust Temple that has the ability to drive away evil and avoid disaster. Everyone in the world wants to have it, but no one has ever gotten it. After the Emperor found out about it, he sent me many times to search for it, hoping to find its whereabouts. Thus, this servant is very familiar with that place. "

"Oh! What kind of sacred object is that, to actually have such power? Is it still in that temple? " He heard Eunuch Wang's words. This kind of treasure could only be found by chance, not sought after.

"Replying to the Second Master, it is a treasure that is neither gold nor silver. It is a Buddha statue that is neither stone nor jade. After searching for many times, this servant was unable to find anything, so he searched for many county records and ancient books. As expected, he found the whereabouts of this sacred object in one of the county records. In fact, after the establishment of the Great Ming Dynasty, In order to seize the sacred object and attack the mountain, the sacred object had already been moved through a small path. It was long gone from the temple. "

"Wait, what did you just say? How did the sacred object move away?" Nie Xiong's eyes lit up when he heard Eunuch Wang's words.

"First Master, the holy relic was moved away through a small path. It was a very secret path that no one could see through. "

"Do you know where the path is?" Zhao Yongjun noticed it too. He asked excitedly, Do you know where it is?

"This servant vaguely remembers that there is a very narrow and narrow path a thousand steps to the east of the mountain road that leads to the top of the mountain. It has been so many years and should be covered with weeds. It is not easy to find it. " Eunuch Wang frowned and thought for a while before saying.

"Let me ask you. Does anyone else know about this path other than you? Does the Emperor know?"

"Replying to First Master, the Emperor does not know. The specifics are all handled by this servant. The Emperor does not care. What he cares about is the whereabouts of the sacred object. In the end, the Emperor only knows that this object had long been taken away from Luochen Mountain and no one else knows about it. "

"Good, haha, the heavens are really helping me. Second Brother, go out tonight and look for the path that Chief Steward Wang mentioned and see if there are any more. " Hearing this, Nie Xiong looked at Zhao Yongjun and said. Although he didn't fully believe Eunuch Wang's words, this might be the only way on the mountain. No matter what, he had to give it a try.

"Alright, I'll go and prepare. I'll go tonight. " After saying that, Zhao Yongjun cupped his hands and left.

In the blink of an eye, night had fallen. Zhao Yongjun used the darkness to sneak out of the city and run towards Luochen Mountain. However, he didn't expect that his every move had already been seen by others. Just as he passed through the encirclement, a general who was guarding the city secretly noted down the direction he was heading towards.

"General, that Zhao Gongxun has already left. He seems to be heading towards Luochen Mountain. " At this time, General Qu came to the front of the general. The general quickly cupped his hands and reported.

"En, very good. It seems that the fish has taken the bait. Tell everyone to be smart and patrol more quickly. Do not be careless at all. Do not let the small fries sneak attack the military camp. " Qu Jinpeng looked in the direction of Luochen Mountain and nodded.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys. " After saying that, the general cupped his hands and said.

"Yes. " Prince Qu nodded, turned around, and left. He returned to the main tent, picked up a pen, and wrote on a piece of paper: The target has appeared, please take note!

After he finished writing, he ordered someone to bring a carrier pigeon and tied the note to the leg of the carrier pigeon and let it fly out.

The sky gradually brightened. Zhao Yongjun once again came to the foot of Luochen Mountain. According to Eunuch Wang, he took a thousand steps east from the mountain road. After he walked to the foot of the mountain, he carefully looked around and found that there was indeed a path in front of him under the shrubbery.

He looked at the path and smiled complacently. "Emperor, oh Emperor, you didn't expect that you would be discovered by us even after hiding in this place. Then, we will let you find the treasure. If not for your greed for the sacred object. . . Wang Shun wouldn't have known that there was a small path. I would like to see how carefree and happy you are here. "

Thinking of this, Zhao Yongjun took out a short sword and cut open the weeds at his waist. Step by step, he walked up the mountain. When he was halfway up the mountain, he became careful and continued to walk up the mountain. As expected, he didn't see any guards.

After walking for a long time, the road ahead slowly became flat. The weeds also gradually decreased. He knew that he was about to reach his destination. Thus, he became even more careful. He bent down and slowed down his pace as he slowly walked forward.

It was already dawn. Zhao Yongjun finally arrived at the top of the mountain. Far away was the dilapidated Fallen Temple. At this moment, he was hiding in the grass and observing the situation of the ruined temple.

At this time, the temple was very quiet. There were more than thirty people guarding the temple, surrounding the entire temple. He could not go any further, or else he would be in danger of being discovered. He could only quietly wait in the grass.

The sun had already risen high, and Zhao Yongjun, who had not slept for the whole night, was somewhat sleepy. Just as he was sleepy, he heard the sound of horse hooves. He turned his head and saw a group of soldiers rushing over. The leader was Qu Jinpeng, Prince Qu.

He stepped back into the grass and bent down to take a closer look.

"Has the Emperor woken up?" Prince Qu dismounted and handed the reins to a soldier who came up and asked.

"General, the Emperor has already woken up. I will inform you now. " Another guard took a step forward and cupped his hands before turning around and walking towards the ruined temple.

"Hahahaha, Prince Qu. You're so early, how's the matter going?" Not long later. A hearty laugh came from the temple. Hearing this voice made Zhao Yongjun feel refreshed. Because this voice was too familiar to him. It was the Emperor's voice. Thus, he stuck his head out to look at the courtyard and was surprised to see the Emperor standing in the courtyard. Behind him were Loong Feng and Loong Yun.

"It really is Yang Yunxuan, Yang Yunxing, Yang Yunxuan. You have underestimated us. Do you think you can protect the Emperor by sending Loong Feng and the rest?" Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, another person appeared from the dilapidated temple. He also knew this person, it was Ling Yexue.
