The next day. Liu Ziye was about to arrive at Yunhao Mansion with a large crowd of people following him. Xie Lengyun naturally had to greet him at the door. She arrived at the door early, but unexpectedly saw that before the prince, there was another person who came. It was the prince's guard He.

Now, He came forward to pay his respects gracefully. Xie Lengyun raised an eyebrow and looked at his calm and handsome face, and asked with a smile: "The prince's guard is really handsome."

In the hot weather, Xie Lengyun saw the sweat on He's forehead pouring out like that. He didn't know what he was suffering from, and it was a little funny. But at this time, another voice came from outside the door, which made He's heart sink to the bottom: "Sister Lengyun thinks He is good-looking, let He come to sister's house to live for a few days."

Xie Lengyun raised his head and said: "Sister Lengyun thinks He is good-looking, let He come to sister's house to live for a few days." Looking over, it turned out that Liu Ziye had come at some point. He was wearing black clothes. Although it was just a casual dress, the fine patterns on the cuffs and collar also showed his solemnity. Although he was shorter than He, he looked down at He with a condescending look: "When He lives in the mansion, you can come and see him whenever you want."

He was struck by lightning, but Xie Lengyun was also reluctant. The two of them controlled their facial expressions with superb acting skills and thanked Liu Ziye. Liu Ziye was very impatient to see He in the way. After thanking him, he quickly asked him to get out. Then he affectionately pulled Xie Lengyun to a secluded place and asked quietly: "Sister Lengyun, when are we going to sneak out?"

He was still thinking about the incognito visit that was like a play.

Xie Lengyun was well prepared. When he heard Liu Ziye say this, he asked the servants to take him to rest and went back to his room to change into men's clothes. After that, according to the arrangement yesterday, Liu Ziye and he climbed over the wall on the side of Yunhao Mansion.

After passing through the deserted alley, the two came to the street. Liu Ziye held Xie Lengyun's hand and looked around. In the past, even when he went out, he always took a car, surrounded by guards. He had never been as free as he was now. Every bone in his body seemed to be lighter.

Although Xie Lengyun and Liu Ziye both looked very good, the people on the street did not pay much attention to them. One of the reasons was probably that Liu Ziye, although he changed into casual clothes and was even in a very relaxed mood, would inadvertently reveal some sinisterness that could easily bring pressure to others.

Liu Ziye was usually close to Xie Lengyun and did not put on airs in front of her, so Xie Lengyun did not pay too much attention to the distinction between superiors and subordinates, but in the eyes of others, Liu Ziye still had a bit of the demeanor of a superior who could decide life and death.

The more important reason is that behind them, Xie Lengyun and Liu Ziye walked side by side in front, and two people followed them three or four feet away. One of them was Xiao Li, who always served as Xie Lengyun's bodyguard, and the other man looked to be in his early thirties. His facial features were originally quite regular, but there was a scar on his forehead that ran diagonally across the bridge of his nose and extended to the left ear. This horrifying scar made his face slightly distorted, and he looked extremely scary.

This man's name is Lin Mu, and he is Liu Ziye's personal bodyguard. He is a bit like Xiao Li beside her.The role he played was just that he hid more secretly. Xie Lengyun had been in and out of the mansion so many times, but he had never seen this Lin Mu once. It was only when Liu Ziye called him out from the dark to help when he climbed over the wall just now that Xie Lengyun learned of this person's existence.

Lin Mu was very silent, not only in words, but also in expression. No matter how Xiao Li spoke beside him, he remained silent. If he hadn't answered "yes" when Liu Ziye ordered him, Xie Lengyun would have thought he was a mute.

The two first went to the East Market on the edge of Jianye City. There were all kinds of things for sale in the market. Although it was not the first time Xie Lengyun went out, it was also the first time he came to such a market dedicated to trading. Various vendors crowded in one place, bustling. The hawking sounds came one after another, and all kinds of goods were mixed together. Some sold poultry, some sold grain and cloth, or some handmade gadgets.

Xie Lengyun had seen supermarkets in China, and when he saw the market in Mingzhou, he lost interest in exploring it after a little novelty. Liu Ziye, on the other hand, was very interested. He bought this and that, and he was only responsible for choosing the things he liked. Xiao Li paid for everything, and Lin Mu was responsible for being the porter. He hung the newly bought things on his left and right hands and back, and packed them in sacks made of straw leaves. The disfigured cool guy lost his image. In the end, Liu Ziye even wanted to buy a live goose to take back to his house to play, but was stopped by Xie Lengyun.

After Liu Ziye had a good time shopping, it was almost noon, and the air was very hot. Xie Lengyun suggested going to the nearby Jianchu Temple to rest, and Xiao Li led the way. The four of them fought their way through the crowded market. In fact, they didn't need to fight much. Lin Mu's disfigured face was there, and he only needed to be a little gloomy to make the people around him retreat automatically.

On the way, Liu Ziye took the things he bought and played with them one by one. After playing for a while, he lost interest and threw them on the ground one by one. When they walked out of the market, only one or two tenths of the things he bought were left.

Xiao Li felt sorry for the money, but the money was given to him by Xie Lengyun in advance. The children of the noble family liked to buy things and play with them. What objection could he have? After Lin Mu threw away most of the sundries, although his face still had no expression, his movements were obviously much more relaxed.

The distance to Jianchu Temple was not far, and it took a while to reach it. This temple was built by the previous dynasty of Mingzhou and had some history. From a distance, the first thing you saw was a tower standing in the center of the temple.

At this time, Buddhism was very popular. Speaking of temples alone, Xie Lengyun saw more than five or six in and around Jianye City. However, the Jianchu Temple in front of him was the most luxurious, which was basically a little worse than Xie Lengyun's Yunhao Mansion, but not much more.

In front of Jianchu Temple hangs a huge plaque, with the three characters of Jianchu Temple written in gold, which are very powerful. When Xie Lengyun and his party approached, they saw a person who surprised Xie Lengyun walking out of the temple. Under the blazing midday sun, even next to this solemn Buddhist temple, the man's demeanor wasStill as leisurely and carefree as flowing water. It was indeed Liu Ruyi who had a good relationship with Leader Zhang and Xie Lengyun in Mingzhou. Xie Lengyun's boldness and informality were appreciated by Liu Ruyi. When they met outside, they always called each other brothers.

"Brother Ruyi, why are you here?" Xie Lengyun stepped forward quickly, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Although she didn't know what she was surprised about, she seemed to feel a little less hot when she saw Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ruyi was also a little surprised when she saw Xie Lengyun. He first cast his eyes on Xie Lengyun, then swept across the three people behind her. After a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he said to Xie Lengyun: "Why are you here?"

At the same time, Xie Lengyun also asked: "Why are you here?" In her impression, Liu Ruyi was a bohemian and free person, who had nothing to do with serious things like Buddhism.

The two people's voices overlapped word for word, and even the emotions of surprise were so consistent.

Liu Ruyi was slightly startled, and then couldn't help laughing with Xie Lengyun.

Xie Lengyun smiled and said: "Excuse me, I forgot that you are a person who can make all boring things interesting. You came here, and you must have found something interesting."

Liu Ruyi also smiled and said: "Excuse me, I forgot that Brother Lengyun's words and deeds are often unexpected, and he thinks of things that others can't think of..." He imitated Xie Lengyun's words, but he couldn't learn the last sentence. He could only say: "But you came here, and you must have no other purpose, just to rest because you are tired."

How wise and intelligent he was. Seeing Liu Ziye's appearance and the appearance of the other two, he quickly deduced what they had just done and the purpose of coming here.

After they finished talking, they smiled again, exchanging the words "Brother Lengyun who knows me well" and "Brother Ruyi who knows me well". Liu Ruyi bowed casually and said, "Brother Lengyun must be busy with other things. I won't bother you today. We'll meet again another day." After that, he pointed to the person next to him and said, "This is my good friend in the temple. His Buddhist name is Jiran. He is very knowledgeable about Buddhist principles and scriptures. You can ask him to take you around the temple."

Xie Lengyun then noticed that there was a monk in white monk's robe standing beside Liu Ruyi. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Liu Ruyi. The monk was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He put his hands together, his eyebrows were downcast, and his expression was peaceful and calm. He should have just walked out with Liu Ruyi, but Xie Lengyun only saw Liu Ruyi and completely ignored him.

Since Liu Ruyi introduced him, Xie Lengyun looked at Ji Ran a few more times. He was handsome and extraordinary, with a pure and elegant demeanor. There was a little rice-sized bright red cinnabar on his forehead. His white monk's robe was not as white as snow, but the kind of old white that was worn over the years. It was loose on his body, but it also had a sense of floating.

The reason why he was ignored just now was mainly because Ji Ran and Liu Ruyi stood together, and his expression was low-key and introverted, so his charm was covered.

Liu Ruyi left without staying for long. Xie Lengyun did not feel uncomfortable facing the unfamiliar Ji Ran. AlthoughAlthough it was their first meeting, Ji Ran seemed to have a power that could calm people's minds.

He turned around and introduced Ji Ran's identity to Liu Ziye, who had just followed him from behind. Then Ji Ran led them to visit the temple.

The temple covers a large area. The tower seen in the distance is in the center of the temple. There is a hall in front of the courtyard, and the courtyards are surrounded by corridors. The murals are bright and gorgeous.

After Xie Lengyun and his group finished their visit, Ji Ran escorted them out of the temple. Xie Lengyun walked side by side with Ji Ran in front and suddenly asked, "Does Brother Ruyi come here often?"

Ji Ran smiled, as if a beautiful white lotus flower quietly blossomed: "Ruyi has a broad mind. I have learned a lot from him, whether it is Buddhism or worldly principles."

Xie Lengyun smiled slightly: "It is inconvenient today. I will come to ask for advice another day. I hope Master Ji Ran will not refuse me then."

After saying goodbye to Ji Ran, it was time to go back. Xie Lengyun walked more than 20 meters and couldn't help looking back. Ji Ran was standing on the steps in front of the temple with his hands clasped together. Many people who came to burn incense and worship Buddha passed by him one after another. Their expressions were either praying or pious. Some were dressed in luxurious clothes and some were dusty.

And Ji Ran lowered his eyes. It seemed like she saw nothing, but it seemed like she saw everything.

Xie Lengyun stopped and stared at the silent figure in the crowd, until Liu Ziye turned around, put his hand on her shoulder and asked: "Sister Lengyun, do you like that bald head? If you like it, I will tie him up tomorrow..."

Xie Lengyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tried to persuade Liu Ziye with words. It was hard for him to give up this idea and not add another blasphemy to his merit book.

There were no twists and turns on the way back. The four of them took the moored boat on the river and sailed along the river that ran through Jianye City. It saved a lot of effort. In the end, the four of them returned to Yunhao Mansion first. Then let Liu Ziye and those servants go back to the mansion.
