Chapter 814 Ci'en Temple

Chapter 814 Ci'en Temple

This Ci'en Temple is 6 miles from the palace. It was just completed this year. Because of its grand architecture and tall tower, it has been a place of constant worship since its completion.

Hu Yitao kept lifting the carriage curtain to look outside. Although she wasn't a Buddhist, she wouldn't dare to disrespect the Buddha. This rascal was outrageous; he'd been sleeping with her the whole way, and now they could see the temple gate in the distance, yet he still wouldn't stop.

Hu Yitao glanced back at Wang Wenzhou and saw that her nemesis was covered in sweat. She quickly and gently wiped the sweat from Wang Wenzhou's head.

"Husband, stop playing around. Weren't you going to offer incense? We're already outside the temple gate. Hurry up and get dressed," Hu Yitao said softly.

Wang Wenzhou hugged Hu Yitao and kissed her, saying with a smile, "Baby, baby, why are you wearing clothes? It's our own home, why do we need to wear clothes?"

"Pfft..." Hu Yitao was completely dumbfounded. Darling, are you drunk again? Although Hu Yitao had just met Wang Wenzhou, she had learned from the guards that Wang Wenzhou was a drunkard.

"Huh?" Hu Yitao lifted the carriage curtain again and saw that the carriage was not stopped by the gatekeeper monks. Instead, several monks bowed respectfully to the carriage.

What's going on? Hu Yitao felt her brain wasn't quite working. She had accompanied Manzhu Xili's baby to Ci'en Temple once before, and even Manzhu Xili's baby's carriage was stopped by the monks and not allowed to enter the temple. Why didn't these monks stop Wang Wenzhou's carriage?

"Tap tap!" Little Monster 001 knocked on the carriage and said, "Master, we have arrived at Ci'en Temple. The abbot and others request an audience with you."

"This idiot, isn't he stupid? Making such a big fuss, anyone who sees it will know there's something fishy going on! Oh well, we can only use it once anyway! Tell Yongxin to clear the area and kick out everyone in the temple who isn't one of us!" Wang Wenzhou instructed Little Monster 001 while struggling to get Hu Yitao to sleep.

"Yes! Your subordinate obeys!" Little Monster 001 hurriedly left.

"Huh?" Hu Yitao was really confused. What was going on? Abbot Yongxin of Ci'en Temple was a highly accomplished monk. How could he be the subordinate of her enemy?

The more Hu Yitao thought about it, the stranger it seemed. She wanted to ask, but as Wang Wenzhou continued his activities, her mind became increasingly overwhelmed.

In fact, this Ci'en Temple was secretly built by Wang Wenzhou. All the monks in the temple were Wang Wenzhou's subordinates, and many of them came from the special forces.

The tall pagoda at Ci'en Temple has nine stories and is over 9 meters high. Unlike other pagodas, its top is flat.

This tower was not actually a Buddhist pagoda, but a gun emplacement. It housed more than 50 cannons. In that era, the maximum range of cannons was only one or two miles, but due to the height advantage, the range of the cannons inside the tower could cover the entire palace.

Wang Wenzhou not only secretly visited Ci'en Temple near the Shenyang Imperial Palace, but also another temple near the Forbidden City in Beijing. These two temples were, in fact, the bases Wang Wenzhou used to carry out his decapitation missions.

Half an hour later, Wang Wenzhou finally finished exercising.

Hu Yitao gently wiped the sweat from Wang Wenzhou's forehead.

Wang Wenzhou hugged Hu Yitao and kissed her, saying, "Sister-in-law, I really want to sleep with you for another five hundred years!"

Hu Yitao blushed and gave Wang Wenzhou a resentful look. "You rascal, why are you always talking nonsense?"

Wang Wenzhou rummaged through his clothes, pulled out a stack of silver notes from his pocket, handed them to Hu Yitao, and said, "Sister-in-law, keep these silver notes safe! I'm going to do something big, but it's too dangerous. If things go wrong, I might not come back. If I die, take these silver notes and find a good man to marry. Remember, never go to Hanshan."

"Ah?" Hu Yitao's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She asked softly, "Husband, don't leave me!"

Although Hu Yitao had only slept with Wang Wenzhou a few times, sometimes people are strange like that; even on a first meeting, they feel as if they've known him for a long time. Moreover, in ancient times, women were expected to be faithful to one man for life; the man who took her virginity was her man for life. Unlike modern times, many beautiful women may have slept with more men than you know. Whether you believe it or not? Ma Su certainly did.

"Good girl, sister-in-law!" Wang Wenzhou gently wiped away Hu Yitao's tears and said with a wry smile, "I haven't slept with you enough either! But I have to do this. A man, even if he knows the road ahead is difficult, can't back down."

Hu Yitao looked at Wang Wenzhou with adoration and said softly, "Husband, no matter where you go, I will be with you."

Damn it! Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile, gently stroking Hu Yitao's hair, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to be with you, it's just too dangerous. Listen to me, I haven't left any offspring for our family yet. The seed I gave you just now might sprout! If I die, and you give birth to Xiaohua for me, you must treat him well."

"Okay!" Hu Yitao nodded solemnly. She no longer insisted on going on an adventure with Wang Wenzhou. She subconsciously touched her belly, feeling as if she was already pregnant with her nemesis's monkey.

"Good girl, sister-in-law!" Wang Wenzhou lifted the carriage curtain and glanced outside; it was already getting dark.

Wang Wenzhou hugged Hu Yitao and kissed her, then said, "Sister-in-law, it's getting late, I should get going. Help me get dressed."

"Yes!" Hu Yitao nodded, her eyes filled with tears, like a wife sending her husband off to the battlefield, and reluctantly helped Wang Wenzhou get dressed.

"Husband, let me see you off!" Hu Yitao tugged at Wang Wenzhou's arm, genuinely not wanting him to leave. But she also knew that she was a woman and couldn't ask her husband to do anything. Besides, she wasn't even Wang Wenzhou's concubine, and this scoundrel was calling her sister-in-law!

"Sister-in-law is so good!" Wang Wenzhou put his arm around Hu Yitao as they stepped off the carriage, and Little Monster 001 and the others quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Get up, everyone!" Wang Wenzhou waved his hand, looked at Yongxin, and asked, "Are you all ready, brothers?"

Yongxin quickly replied, "As for returning to the employer, everything is ready!"

"Okay!" Wang Wenzhou nodded and said, "Then bring me my equipment and help me change into it!"

Yan Lerong quickly said, "Your Highness, this matter is of utmost importance! You must be careful!"

Yan Lerong's orders were to protect Wang Wenzhou at all costs. This was extremely dangerous, and if anything happened to Wang Wenzhou, Madam Mu Yiyun would certainly not let him off the hook.

Wang Wenzhou shook his head and said, "Alright, stop trying to persuade me! I trust my baby Da Yu'er, but I really don't trust Manzhu Xili. I always feel like he's hiding something from me, and you all saw it too, the palace gates suddenly closed tightly, isn't that strange?"

Yan Lerong quickly said, "Your Highness, something unusual must be going on. That's why you should be even more cautious!"

"My mind is made up, don't try to persuade me! Someone, quickly bring me the equipment!" Wang Wenzhou ordered.
