Chapter 148 Injured Guards
Wu Tiancheng didn't expect that the other party knew his identity and even dared to let his guards take action. He became annoyed.
"Come on, take these guys down for me. I want to see who they are and why they are so bold!"
After Wu Tiancheng finished speaking, he signaled the guards behind him to come forward together.
Wu Tiancheng brought six guards to face the two guards from the General's Mansion. For a while, the two sides were evenly matched.
Both sides were masters, but the two guards of the general's mansion were obviously experienced in many battles, while Wu Tiancheng's guards, although highly skilled in martial arts, did not have many skills and had not experienced enough.
In just a quarter of an hour, the six guards were knocked to the ground by the guards of the general's mansion, groaning and crying in pain.
Seeing that all his men were knocked to the ground, Wu Tiancheng was both anxious and angry.
"How dare you resist! And you even dared to injure my guards, you are simply courting death!
"Let's go!" Yingyi ignored Wu Tiancheng, pulled Lan Mingyue, and left quickly with two guards.
Lan Mingyue had never been insulted like this before and her face turned red with anger. She wanted to ask the guards to teach this barbarian Wu Tiancheng a lesson.
However, he was concerned that doing so might bring trouble to An Qingqian and the General's Mansion, so he could only swallow his anger for the time being.
Several people quickly returned to the place where they were praying, but the prayer ceremony had not yet ended.
Bo Yun leaned against the wall next to him, looking a little bored, and played with a branch he found from somewhere.
Noticing the movement at the door, Bo Yun looked over and saw Lan Mingyue and Ying Yi walking in with unhappy looks on their faces.
She quickly came over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Yingyi frowned and shook her head.
This matter must be told to An Qingqian as soon as possible. If it is not handled properly, it will definitely bring considerable trouble to both the General's Mansion and An Qingqian.
"Boyun, how long will the blessing ceremony take?" Yingyi straightened her expression.
"I don't know about that." Bo Yun shook her head. She had never seen the blessing ceremony here before, and she didn't know how long this ceremony would take.
Yingyi seemed a little anxious because she didn't get an answer from Boyun.
She glanced around the yard and suddenly noticed a little monk standing at the door of the wing room.
So she took two steps forward and waved to the little monk.
Seeing Yingyi's gesture, the little monk came over suspiciously and asked in a low voice, "Sir, may I ask what can I do for you?"
"Master, I want to ask, how long will it take for this blessing ceremony to end?"
"Well, according to past practice, it will probably take an incense stick of time." The young monk clasped his hands together and answered politely.
"Thank you, little master."
An incense stick of time? It's almost time, so I'll just wait a little longer.
Several people were waiting anxiously. Yingyi's face was filled with anxiety, which was rare. She paced back and forth in the yard.
Bo Yun looked at Ying Yi, then at Lan Ming Yue who looked unhappy, and realized that something must have happened just now.
It seems that this matter is not a small matter, as it can make Yingyi, who is usually steady and calm, show such an expression.
After Shi Qiuwu finished reciting the scriptures, he stood up, dipped the willow branch he had prepared long ago in the clean spring water nearby, and sprinkled a few drops on An Qingqian's body.
He took a rosewood hairpin from the table next to him and walked in front of An Qingqian.
"Miss An, this hairpin is made of sandalwood and has been blessed. Wearing it on your head will bring you good fortune and good health."
An Qingqian nodded and was about to reach out to take it, but she saw Shi Qiuwu had already put it on her.
An Qingqian withdrew her hand, thinking that this was also part of the prayer, so she continued to kneel obediently and allowed Shi Qiuwu to put it into her hair.
The little monk outside the door looked confused. Is it necessary to give a hairpin when praying for blessings?
Moreover, why did Master Jingxin personally put it on this female donor? Why didn't he remember that there was such a procedure?
"Okay, Miss An, the blessing ceremony is over. You can go out now."
"Thank you, Master Jingxin." An Qingqian thanked him sincerely, bowed to the incense burner in front of him again, and then stood up from the cushion.
"It's my job, no need to thank me." Shi Qiuwu smiled faintly.
The two of them went out at the same time and saw Lan Mingyue and Ying Yi Boyun standing in the yard. An Qingqian was very confused.
It was so cold, why didn’t they go to their rooms first? Aren’t they cold?
As she walked down the stairs, she suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with Yingyi and Lan Mingyue's expressions.
Seeing that the ceremony was completed, Yingyi didn't care that Shi Qiuwu was here, and hurried forward to tell An Qingqian in detail what had just happened outside.
An Qingqian's face changed slightly when he heard this.
The son of King Dingyuan?
"I know about this." This sudden change caught An Qingqian off guard.
However, Wu Tiancheng actually flirted with her people. He really thought that he was superior to others and everyone had to kneel down before him.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Shi Qiuwu saw Yingyi said something in front of her and An Qingqian's face changed, so she asked with concern.
An Qingqian looked at Shi Qiuwu, pursed her lips, and told him about the return of Prince Dingyuan and his son to the capital.
However, she did not mention that Wu Tiancheng molested Yingyi, but only said that there was a conflict between the two parties and the guards of the general's mansion injured Wu Tiancheng's guards.
"This Wu Tiancheng is really a stubborn person who keeps causing trouble everywhere." Shi Qiuwu twirled his fingers.
He had information about King Dingyuan's family and knew Wu Tiancheng's character.
Although An Qingqian did not say it explicitly, Shi Qiuwu could guess it.
It must be that Wu Tiancheng was aroused by lust, which led to the conflict.
However, he didn’t know that Prince Dingyuan had brought his son back to the capital. What was their purpose?
"Master Jingxin, thank you for today. Goodbye."
An Qingqian bowed to Shi Qiuwu, then hurriedly left Fuguang Temple with his men.
Looking at An Qingqian's receding back, Shi Qiuwu narrowed his eyes.
In the carriage, Lan Mingyue had been holding back for a long time and finally she was able to speak.
"Damn it, that Wu Tiancheng is such a damned person, who the hell is he, to dare to speak like that, he'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise, I will definitely let him know what the rules are!"
"Miss Lan, I deserve to die today. I almost got you into trouble." Yingyi looked at Lan Mingyue with guilt.
"What does this have to do with you? You don't have to blame yourself. That guy deserved to die. Today is just not the right time. Otherwise, I would never let him go so easily."
Lan Mingyue knew that this matter had nothing to do with Yingyi, and she did not blame Yingyi.
"Mingyue, calm down. Although Wu Tiancheng is abominable, he was right in saying one thing: Prince Dingyuan has a close relationship with the emperor.
