Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2338
The Taoist temple is hidden in the mountains and forests, surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, and the night is thick.

The moon will rise from between the mountain ridges in the east, and the hazy moonlight is like a thin layer of mist, covering the mountains and forests.

Countless black shadows ran out from the mountain roads and dense forests, and their footsteps trampled on the dead branches and rotted leaves in the forest, making a rustling sound. The armor and weapons collided with each other while running, and the sound was dull.

Almost in an instant, the open space in front of the Taoist temple was completely surrounded, and horizontal knives were pulled out amidst the endless "choking" sound, and the bright blades reflected the hazy moonlight, with a murderous look!
Changsun Chong stood in front of the mountain gate, he didn't care about the soldiers and servants who surrounded him, and was immersed in grief and remorse.

On the contrary, his coachman suddenly stood in front of Changsun Chong, glared at the crowds of soldiers, his eyes were tearing apart, and shouted angrily: "What do you want? Do you know the identity of my son?"

What answered him was the sound of crossbows being tensed, a crossbow arrow was strung up, and the bright clusters of arrows aimed at Changsun Chong and the coachman in front of the mountain gate.

The mountain gate was closed, and two guards stood in front of the gate, drew their horizontal knives, and shouted angrily, "Who is here?"

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and Cheng Wuting rode out in front of the crowd on his horse. He clasped his fists in a majestic uniform and said, "Cao Cheng Wuting, the military commander of the Jingzhao Mansion, was ordered by the governor of my family to come and arrest the criminals. Please, brothers, protect Your Highness." Zhouquan, I'm sorry."

The two imperial guards did not dare to relax, they stood in front of the door, glaring at the two of them, Chang Sun Chong.

These two people are old friends of His Royal Highness, but His Highness avoided seeing them, and then they were chased by Jingzhao Mansion's yamen soldiers and surrounded them...

Who is this person?

The eldest grandson Chong Yangtian let out a long sigh, turned around, and glanced at the soldiers standing in front of him with cold eyes, turning a blind eye like a forest of knives and arrows, let alone caring who leaked the news, and who was so mobilizing to keep him behind. In Chang'an...

He patted the coachman on the shoulder, and said softly, "Be safe and don't be impatient, this matter has nothing to do with you, and the eldest grandson's family will rescue you afterwards, don't risk your life impulsively."

The coachman glanced at Changsun Chong, hesitated to speak, and retreated to the side.

Changsun Chong faced Cheng Wuting and said in a clear voice: "The Jingzhao Mansion is really powerful. I have just set foot in the border of Guanzhong, and you have learned of my whereabouts. I really admire you. Cheng Wuting, you are also a famous man. What you did was only ordered to arrest you. For me, it has nothing to do with others. If I will be captured and let you deal with me, can you let go of this person beside me?"

Cheng Wu sat upright on the horse, glanced at the coachman behind Changsun Chong, and said loudly: "Mr. Zhao's long-following groom, how dare you make a mistake with a humble job? Don't worry, Mr. Changsun, the humble official came here just to arrest you, as long as you go back with the humble post , everyone else will let them go."

"very good!"

Chang Sun Chong nodded, took a step forward, and said calmly, "Come on!"

At this moment, all thoughts are lost, and his heart is devastated. He feels that even if he returns to Goguryeo to become a "fine work" and make great contributions, and one day returns to Chang'an, he will not be able to find his former favorite, and the path to fame has long been cut off. What's the point?
It's better to just catch him with nothing, whether it's killing or cutting, he has already made a decision, and he can feel at ease in the underworld...

Cheng Wuting didn't expect Changsun Chong to have no resistance. He brought so many people to prepare for Changsun Chong's death and death. He immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Take it!"

"Here!"

The soldiers around him suddenly agreed, and they all stepped forward, ready to arrest Changsun Chong on the spot.

"Wait!"

At this time, the mountain gate of the Taoist temple opened, and a beautiful young nun came out from inside. She stopped drinking softly, and then said to Cheng Wuting: "Cheng Bingcao, Your Royal Highness welcomes you."

Cheng Wu was stunned for a moment, then quickly dismounted, and told his confidantes: "Let me keep an eye on this officer, and beware of someone robbing criminals. If the criminal makes any mistakes, we will ask you!"

"Here! Soldiers, don't worry!"

Cheng Wuting then nodded, adjusted his clothes and armor, and followed the nun into the mountain gate.

……

The Taoist temple is not big, but the carved beams and painted buildings have a beautiful view. In an elegantly furnished alchemy room, Princess Changle is wearing a Taoist robe, with her face facing the sky, kneeling on the futon, holding a fire fold with her slender fingers, and is gathering together on a plate. On the incense stick, intending to ignite it.

Cheng Wuting stepped inside, walked into the room, knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Jingzhao Mansion Commander Cao Cheng Wuting, I have an audience with Your Highness!"

The orange-red flames ignited the incense sticks sparklingly, and a wisp of sandalwood rose up.

Putting down the fire folder, Princess Changle said to Cheng Wuting: "Cheng Bingcao is exempt from courtesy. I don't know what Cheng Bingcao and his soldiers surrounded this Taoist temple. What is his intention?"

Cheng Wu was very upset, don't you know what I want to do?
He replied: "His Royal Highness, under the order of Jing Zhaoyin, came to arrest the criminals. Because he was afraid of criminals, he rushed into the Taoist temple and offended His Highness, so there are more people."

Princess Changle was sitting on her knees, her slender waist was straight, and her beautiful face became more gentle and charming under the light of the candlelight, but her tone was a bit cold: "This is the place where the palace cleans up. Thinking about it, Cheng Bingcao's news must have gone wrong."

Cheng Wuting thought to himself: Are you trying to shield Chang Sun Chong?
Although they used to be husband and wife, they have been divorced for several years, can they commit such a blatant violation of the law?

If it was another prisoner, and the most beloved Princess of the Tang Emperor spoke out in defense, Cheng Wuting would definitely give him face and ask for gold to withdraw.

The status of Princess Changle is enough to offset this level of dereliction of duty.

But now the culprit is Chang Sun Chong...

Cheng Wuting said softly: "His Royal Highness, the chief prisoner, Sun Chong, is standing outside the mountain gate at this moment. He is acquainted with him in humble positions, and he will definitely not admit his mistake."

Princess Changle's long eyelashes twitched, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her pretty face flushed slightly, very annoyed.

How could a little military commander turn a deaf ear to her orders?

Simply too much!
...What should I do next?

Princess Changle was angry and flustered, she had never been involved in court affairs, and now she wanted to use her status to boss her around, but she didn't expect that Cheng Wuting would not give face, which made her a little flustered, and she didn't know what to do .

Cheng Wuting was also terrified. The beautiful princess in front of her did not have any majesty at all. Even if she was a little bit annoyed, there was only a faint demeanor in her words and deeds, but there was no deterrence... However In the final analysis, Princess Changle's power comes from His Majesty Li Er, as long as His Majesty Li Er tells the matter at hand, it is guaranteed that Cheng Wu will not be able to eat.

But still the same sentence, everyone can let go, except Changsun Chong...

Princess Changle's thoughts changed, she usually thought she was smart and clever, but at this moment she couldn't think of any way to handle Cheng Wuting, she gradually became angry from embarrassment, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, she clapped her plain hand on the tea table beside her, and said masqueradely: "My lord Don't tell you, let Fang Jun come over!"

Cheng Wu was quite stunned, and subconsciously said: "Your Highness, this case is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion. Fang Shaobao is no longer Jing Zhaoyin, but now he is Minister of the Ministry of War. I am afraid that he cannot control the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion..."

Princess Changle stared at her beautiful eyes, and said furiously: "Don't fool me with such nonsense, don't you know that you are me? Fang Jun must have instructed you to keep an eye on Changsun Chong's whereabouts this time, so you are here It intercepts!"

Cheng Wuting explained: "Your Highness misunderstood, it was Jingzhao Mansion's police who discovered Chang Sun Chong's whereabouts, followed closely all the way, and the humble staff can capture him here..."

Unexpectedly, Princess Changle knew that such sophistry was not something she was good at, since she couldn't handle Cheng Wuting's naughty, she simply said arrogantly: "I don't want to talk to you, so you ask Fang Jun to come!"

Cheng Wuting: "..."

Some toothache.

His Highness Changle is usually gentle and virtuous, and Lan Xinhui is so pure and beautiful. I don’t know how many Chang’an children regard her as the beauty in their dreams. Back then, His Majesty Li Er betrothed her to Changsun Chong, which caused the city of Chang’an to mourn like a dead person. countless.

But who would have thought that such a dignified and virtuous beauty would be unreasonable in the slightest...

If it was reasonable, Cheng Wu would naturally have countless words to block Princess Changle's mouth, but now that Princess Changle is unreasonable, what can he do?

"Honestly obey orders."

In desperation, Cheng Wuting had no choice but to agree, walked out of the Taoist temple in despair, looked at Changsun Chong who was standing in front of the mountain gate, and was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, he sneered: "Changsun Dalang is indeed a role model for our generation, this has already been done. You have become a criminal, but you can still escape the sanction of the law through the shelter of a woman, admiration, admiration!"
