While he was stunned, a signal arrow suddenly flew into the sky outside, signaling an enemy attack. Soldiers and horses outside moved, and a large number of people rushed in, shouting: "Come, someone broke into the Da Sima Temple at night!" Immediately, torches were lit one after another, and the entire Da Sima Temple was as bright as day, and the flames surrounded the place where the Prince of Hengyang was imprisoned.

Inside the prison, Liu Huai heard the noise outside and gritted his teeth, "So that's it!"

The follower behind him turned pale: "Sir, what should we do?"

Liu Huai roared: "Chase! Chase the Prince of Hengyang back!"

It turns out she was waiting for him here!

Liu Chu, Liu Chu!

Prince Zhao Liu Huai wanted to kill someone, but he ended up being a jailbreaker. He had never seen the Prince of Hengyang, but he was hunted down by the army of the Grand Sima Temple. The Grand Sima was the highest military commander in the Southern Kingdom, in charge of the country's military secrets. Prince Zhao only had his own soldiers, how could he defeat the enemy? Prince Zhao and his entourage fled from the Sima Temple in a hurry to hunt down Prince Hengyang.

He must catch up with Prince Hengyang, otherwise he will be the scapegoat tonight. He will lose even the little trust he has from his father!

Walking through the streets and alleys, the oriole was behind. King Zhao suddenly remembered: "Where is the Jingzhao Yin? There is a fugitive escaping from Jianye City, why is the Jingzhao Yin on night patrol not here? Quick, split the troops into two groups and go find the Jingzhao Yin. Let the Jingzhao Yin help us chase him!"

Jingzhao Yin was busy putting out the fire.

Lu Sanlang took his newlywed wife to visit Jianchu Temple at night and had a pleasant conversation with the nuns in the temple. Jianchu Temple was the first Buddhist temple in Jiangnan, and its reputation was higher than Kaishan Temple in Zhongshan. When Lu Sanlang and the nun were talking at night, the nun admired Xunmei's knowledge and personally took Lu Sanlang and his wife to visit the murals in the temple and introduced a stone tablet in the temple: "Our temple is building a stone stupa. After it is completed, we can invite the famous monk from the Western Region to come to the temple to preach Buddhism and benefit the world."

Lu Sanlang held a blue porcelain colored cow-shaped lamp, the flame of which fluttered in the wind. He held Luo Lingyu's hand with his other hand, the flame shining on Lu Yun's face. He smiled slightly: "Preaching Buddhism to the world is a good deed. Although my wife and I do not worship Buddhism, my second brother is a lay Buddhist, and he is very fond of Buddhism. In order to accumulate merit for my second brother, my wife and I also plan to offer a Buddha statue in the temple, and make some contributions to the master's construction of the stupa and the welcoming of the monks from the Western Region to live in the temple."

A group of monks followed, and the leading nun talked with Lu Sanlang all night because he was from a wealthy family and could earn a lot of money. She was a little disappointed when she heard that Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu did not worship Buddha, but when she heard that Lu Yun was still willing to worship Buddha, she was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

So he led Lu Sanlang and his wife to pay homage to the Buddha.

Passing by an empty house in the temple, Lu Yun's eyes flashed and he asked casually, it turned out that the house was leaking, the monks moved out and didn't have time to repair it. Lu Yun nodded: "What a pity."

Luo Lingyu was confused as she listened to what Lu Yun was doing. Suddenly, Lu Yun reached out, plucked a hairpin from her hair, and threw it into the empty house. Luo Lingyu was shocked to see Lu Sanlang raise his hand and throw the cow-shaped lantern in his hand out, and the flames rolled up the curtains in the empty house. A huge fire broke out!

Lu Yun: "Please ask the Jingzhao Yin to come and tell him that my wife's most beloved hairpin was thrown into the burning house. It was a token of our love. Please ask the Jingzhao Yin to put out the fire and retrieve the hairpin."

Luo Lingyu: “…”

The followers left, and the nun leading the way looked at them in disbelief. Luo Lingyu was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head, covered her face and looked away: "My beloved hairpin, wuwuwu..."

Monks and nuns: "..."

The monk shouted: "Lu Sanlang, Madam San Shao, you are bullying me because there is no one in my temple..."

Lu Yun glanced and said, "My wife and I would like to offer two Buddha statues."

The monks and nuns in the temple: "..."

The anger died down immediately, and the monks and nuns in the temple lowered their eyes, ignoring the fire that was growing more and more intense.

Prince Zhao Liu Huai had used the trick of putting out a fire to trick Jingzhao Yin away, and tonight Lu Yun used the same trick to return the favor. He ran all the way out of the city and met with Jingzhao Yin's people. Both sides were in a hurry. Jingzhao Yin was extremely helpless. The hairpin of Lu Sanlang's wife was a trivial matter, but the reputation of the Lu family forced them to pass by...

They are both powerful, so who is worse than who?

"Bang——"

After a moment's delay, the city gate in front was closed, and the fugitives in front left the city. The people from Sima Temple surrounded them from behind and said, "Your Highness Prince Zhao, please surrender."

King Zhao was trembling, looking at the flames all around him, surrounded by tall horses. The flames reflected his face, he and his followers were surrounded in the middle, there were many people from Sima Temple, three layers inside and three layers outside. King Zhao was hysterical, pointing at the city gate: "They have all escaped from the city! Why are you chasing me instead of chasing them?"

The pursuers lowered their eyes and said, "Sir, we only saw you break into the Grand Sima Temple at night and rescue the King of Hengyang. Where is the King of Hengyang?"

Prince Zhao: “……!”

"I understand, you did it on purpose... You all had it all planned! What about the wife of the Third Young Master Lu losing her hairpin, what about starting a fire... Where is Liu Chu? Let him out, I will confront him!"

The lights in the city were left behind the city walls, the city gates were closed, and the soldiers entered the city. Liu Mu found Mr. Kong in the woods outside the city. Mr. Kong had prepared horses and food, and was waiting here according to Lu Erlang's words. In the middle of the night, when he saw the young man, the old man was so excited that he almost fell down when he stumbled to greet him.

Liu Mu supported him, his eyes full of warmth, blinking away the moisture, he shook Mr. Kong's hand vigorously. To this day, Mr. Kong has taken care of him for many years, and the friendship between the two is beyond words. Mounting on the horse, Liu Mu and Mr. Kong each rode a horse, and at a certain moment, he turned back. Behind him was the haze of smoke, and the lights in Jianye City were bright.

The soldiers surrounded the streets of the city, and His Royal Highness Prince Chen appeared. The young man walked steadily, and as the lights swayed, he walked towards Prince Zhao Liu Huai, whose face suddenly changed. All of this was getting further and further away from Liu Mu.

Mr. Kong urged: "Your Highness, let's go quickly, it will be too late if we delay any longer."

Liu Mu held the reins tightly: "... Yeah."

Mr. Kong: "Sir, it was Lu Erlang who saved you this time. You must repay him in the future."
