Chapter 188: Ambush



Zhao Bojun was just worrying about how to quietly send the King of Qi's children to that person. Wouldn't this method just be right in front of him?

At that time, under the pretext of asking the abbot of Xiqing Temple to accept disciples, the King of Qi’s children will be accepted and then sent to that person.

Even if the King of Qi wanted to settle the score later, he could get rid of everything completely.

After all, it was King Qi who voluntarily gave this child to the abbot of Xiqing Temple, right?

"That's really great. It just so happens that the abbot of Xiqing Temple has been traveling around these days. I heard two days ago that he is now in the county town helping others tell fortunes and avoid disasters.

"How about this, I will send someone to find the abbot today and invite him to come home so that the little princess can have a good look at him."

Zhao Bojun thought about it and immediately said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Zhao."

Emperor Chengxuan smiled slightly.

On the side, Zhao Jiao was still clamoring for her spirit fish.

"Stop yelling! Just ask your uncle to give you another one!"

Zhao Bojun said impatiently.

"Master Zhao, Ling'er wants it too. Ling'er also wants to meet the person who gave Sister Jiaojiao this spiritual fish. Is that okay?"

At this time, little Shuangbao immediately poked out his little head and said sweetly.

Zhao Bojun immediately smiled awkwardly.

The person who gave Zhao Jiao the spiritual fish was the one who wanted to steal the brother and sister. How could they meet now?

"Okay, okay, let me make some arrangements. I'll definitely let the little princess meet this person as soon as possible."

Zhao Bojun smiled attentively.

A group of people all have smiles on their faces, looking extremely harmonious and beautiful, but each of them has ulterior motives.

Zhao Bojun said he would make arrangements and act quickly.

Near dusk, he found Emperor Cheng Xuan and said, "Your Highness, we've found the temple master, but he's currently helping a family with a ritual that takes 49 days and officially begins tomorrow. He won't be able to make it here, but he did say we can go over first. He's free tonight, so why don't we set off now?"

"Now?"

Emperor Chengxuan frowned.

"Yes, after tonight, we can only wait until forty-nine days later. Your Highness, what do you think?"

Zhao Bojun sought the opinion of Emperor Chengxuan.

Of course, waiting another forty-nine days is impossible.

Although Emperor Cheng Xuan knew in his heart that there was no such thing as forty-nine days, he still nodded in agreement: "I will order my servants to clean up first."

"No need to pack. That family happens to be the home of a good friend of mine. I will definitely treat them to delicious wine, delicious food, and delicious soup when we get there. I have already made the arrangements. My friend's home is in a mountain villa with beautiful scenery. Your Highness, please bring everyone with you and we will have a great time there for a few days."

"How many days will you play?"

Emperor Chengxuan's eyes flashed with a sharpness. "Lord Zhao, as the magistrate of Heding County, is very busy with official duties. Do you have the time to hang out with an idler like me for so long?"

"Oh, Your Highness, you're joking. Official business is handled by others in the yamen. These are just trivial matters. Serving Your Highness is the top priority."

Zhao Bojun urged, "Your Highness, let's hurry up and leave. If we're any later, we might miss the chance."

"Oh well."

Emperor Chengxuan and his entourage then boarded the carriage arranged by Zhao Bojun.

The carriage left the county town and headed straight into the mountains and forests near Xin'an Town.

Emperor Chengxuan watched the whole journey and felt sarcastic in his heart.

It seems that the abbot of Xiqing Temple did not escape far at all.

In other words, their other base is still in Xin'an Town.

Emperor Cheng Xuan and the others looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly, but didn't say anything.

Not long after, they arrived at the villa that Zhao Bojun mentioned.

The villa is not built on a very high mountain, but at the foot of a mountain.

When they arrived, they were blindfolded and entered.

"Master Zhao, what does this mean?"

Emperor Cheng Xuan frowned, clearly unwilling, "Is this what you meant by coming here for a trip?"

"Don't misunderstand, Your Highness. They are performing a ritual here, and the instruments for the ritual are placed all around. We ordinary people cannot watch, as it will harm our souls. That's why they ask us to blindfold ourselves. On ordinary days, we don't need to blindfold ourselves. Don't worry, blindfolding is only required at the entrance, not anywhere else."

Zhao Bojun quickly explained.

However, this was obviously an excuse he made up deliberately because he didn't want them to know that the exit of the villa was here.

In order to capture the abbot of Xiqing Temple, Emperor Chengxuan endured it.

Little Shuangbao also let others cover her little face with a black cloth to block her vision, and one of her little hands obediently held Emperor Cheng Xuan's big hand.

She just felt that she was following Emperor Cheng Xuan around one corner after another.

However, every time she turned a corner, she would hear a cat's meow.

After hearing the cat's meow again, she was very sure that the people in the villa were deliberately taking them in circles, making them think that the road to the entrance was very complicated.

Finally, after we no longer had to make such detours, we walked a little further before hearing someone say, "We're here."

Then, the black cloth covering Xiao Shuangbao's eyes was taken off.

She found herself standing in a large courtyard with Emperor Cheng Xuan and others.

"Oh, Master Li, long time no see!"

After the black cloth on Zhao Bojun's eyes was removed, he saw a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe standing there, and immediately walked up to him with a smile and greeted him.

"Wulian Tianzun!"

This Li Guanzhu swung the whisk in his hand and muttered something pretentiously before sweeping his eyes around, finally landing on Xiao Shuangbao and Si Liye. "Are these the two children that Lord Zhao mentioned?"

"two?"

Before Zhao Bojun could speak, Emperor Cheng Xuan said, "I only said one, how did it become two?"

"Yes, I also told Master Li that there was only the little princess. Master Li, why did you bring the little prince along as well?"

Zhao Bojun pretended to look puzzled.

"Oh? But what I saw was that this pair of siblings both had a layer of golden light of merit on their bodies, shining brightly in the darkness. I could tell at a glance that they were my destined ones!"

Li Guanzhu's expression was serious, "They are both gifted. This little princess can indeed see ghosts and has a talent for catching them. As for this little prince, his abilities are even more extraordinary.

"I want to take both of them as my disciples. I believe that with their talents, they will surpass me in the future and ascend to become immortals soon!"

He said this.

Emperor Chengxuan endured it again and again and did not let his brows frown.

"Really? Ling'er has always claimed that she can catch ghosts, and Xiaoye is also very talented at a young age. Can Master Li really teach them?"

Emperor Cheng Xuan asked, pretending to believe it.

"Of course! Monks don't tell lies! I never lie!"

Li Guanzhu said seriously.
