His handwriting was neat and neat, his pen was firm and his paper clean. Everyone thought that he had changed his character upon seeing it.

On this day, Xie Wanqing was just about to return home, the monk that was welcoming her into the temple came to send her off, "Thank you Second Miss for your calm personality and good nature, it is the blessing of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion." "No," he said.

In the past half month, Xie Wanqing had never mentioned asking for extra food or anything excessive, causing the monks in the temple to be shocked.

It was already rare for a seven year old girl to have a character that was willing to endure hardships like hers.

But in the past few days, Xie Wanqing had fully recovered from her illness, and every day, she would eat nothing but coarse tea and plain rice, and would also need to diligently transcribe. One portion from her was for the temple to pray for the Marquis Anyang's Mansion, and one copy for Du Fa. As a result, he became skinnier, revealing her sharp chin.

The monk could not help but feel a pang in his heart.

Xie Wanqing clasped his hands together and bowed to him, then laughed: "In the past half month, I have been hounding you all, all thanks to you all for your concern, I thank you all."

That monk did not expect her to be like this. In the past, when the nobles and officials left, all of them were happy and excited. They couldn't wait to come here, so how could they thank him?

He did not have the time to dodge and received Xie Wanqing's salute. Inwardly, she felt apologetic, and said: "Thank you, Second Miss, for being too courteous, I will definitely pray for you in front of the Buddha."

Xie Wanqing smiled as she thanked her. On the other side, Mama Zeng saw that the time was almost up and urged her: "Miss, it's time to go."

Xie Wanqing looked at the entrance of the temple. Other than the pilgrims, there was no one else.

That's right, for someone like Du Fa, it wasn't strange for his to not say anything.

Xie Wanqing turned around and got on the carriage, only to hear someone shouting: "Hold on!"

Lifting up the curtain, he saw that it was none other than Du Fa. Dressed in his golden cassock, he quickly ran over.

The monk that came to see them off said in surprise, "Lord... "Why are you here?" When she thought about Du Fa's orders not to call him a host in front of outsiders, she hurriedly changed her words.

"Why can't I come?" Du Fa walked to the side of the carriage and gasped for breath as he stared at Xie Wanqing: "Tell me, why are you in such a hurry? I said I would make you wait for me, why, are you afraid of me breaking my promise?"

Previously, Xie Wanqing said that she wanted him to enlighten her with a buddhist bead, but the meaning behind that was not as simple as just a string of buddhist beads.

Although Du Fa came over every day to take her copy of the Buddha Scripture and leave, he did not mention anything about the Buddha beads.

If he did not say it, Xie Wanqing did not mention it, but if he did not want to give it to her, she could not snatch it away. But being on good terms with Du Fa, there was nothing bad about it, so even if Du Fa did not talk about the Buddha beads, she still helped him copy the scriptures everyday.

It was unknown if it was because of her sincerity, but Du Fa came over yesterday to deliver the food, and said that he was giving her the buddhist beads today. But Xie Wanqing did not come back until he finished packing up and left the mountain gate.

Initially, he thought that the other party had changed his mind. However, he didn't expect that the other party would come over again.

Xie Wanqing took the buddhist beads in his hands. Each of the beads was worn smooth, and seemed to still have a person's body temperature.

"Thank you, master." She thanked him. She had naturally noticed the change in his name just now, so she didn't call him by his first name but by his first name.

"There's no need to thank me. You deserve it." Du Fa waved his hand nonchalantly, facing the doubtful gazes of the monks, he remembered that he was outside, with more people talking, he immediately became serious and said: "I will pray for the Second Miss."

Xie Wanqing nodded, she turned and got on the carriage once again.

Waiting until the carriage was far away, the monk said softly: "Host, you know the Second Miss?"

They spent most of their time on the mountain and rarely went down, so the news outside was not very well-received. If not for the fact that the Emperor had sent someone to deliver an imperial edict saying that a new protector of the kingdom had been bestowed, and had even sent his Hanshan Temple out. Until now, they still did not know who Du Fa was. As for what Du Fa had actually done in the capital, they had no idea.

Du Fa looked at Xie Wanqing's carriage that was getting further and further away, he looked at it for a long time, then retracted it after a while, and turned back to look at him sloppily: "Yeah, which one is there in the capital that I do not know?"

The monk knew he was deceiving him again, so he simply ignored him and went back with a flick of his sleeve.

Only Du Fa was left behind, looking far in the direction Xie Wanqing left, no one knew what she was thinking about.

"Miss, are you old acquaintances of that monk?" In the carriage, the Mama Zeng asked. The first time Du Fa came to find her, he said that she was an old friend. Xie Wanqing let him in, but didn't tell Mama Zeng anything.

Afterwards, every day that monk would come over to deliver food, and every time at this time, Mama Zeng would be sent out of the house, so she did not know what they were saying inside.

With Yue Xin accompanying him in the room, the Mama Zeng was not too worried, but today the monk sent a string of buddhist beads over, and Xie Wanqing even took it. Mama Zeng had no choice but to worry.

Although Xie Wanqing was still young, she was a girl after all. She had secretly picked up a monk's things.

Thus, he hurriedly asked in the carriage.

Xie Wanqing knew that Mama Zeng had sent him to take care of her because he was thinking of her. It was indeed a little bad that she had been hiding things from her these past few days. So she said: "Do you know who the host of Hanshan Temple is?"

Although Mama Zeng was in the Inner Palace, she still knew some information.

Now that Xie Wanqing had asked her about it, a flash of fire seemed to flash past her mind, but she couldn't catch hold of it. She could only reply, "It seems to be His Majesty's newly bestowed Heavenly Imperial Protector."

"Then do you know that I have seen the Protector of the Nation before at the Shouxi School?"

When she said that, Mama Zeng immediately calmed down, but no matter how she thought about it, Du Fa did not look like a monk. That monk is a State Protector? "

Xie Wanqing looked exactly like this, causing Mama Zeng to be shocked speechless.

Since that was the case, it was none of her business.

The tea cup fell down from the table as the carriage moved. Fortunately, a thin blanket was covering the floor so the tea cup didn't break. Mama Zeng and Yue Xin hurriedly supported Xie Wanqing up. Seeing that she was alright, the two of them relaxed.

How did she drive the carriage? She had to deduct a month's worth of money when she got back! Just as Mama Zeng was about to raise the curtain to scold the coachman, Xie Wanqing suddenly stopped her.

As they travelled, the carriages were stable and did not sway at all. Before coming to Hanshan Temple, he had not seen any mistakes or mistakes, and it was obvious that the driver was a good driver, why was it so sudden today, and why was it only a while after the car swayed, he did not hear any sounds of apology, so something must have happened.

Sure enough, a voice came from outside, "Who are you? Do you know whose carriage this is?"

It was obviously the voice of the guard.

"Hahahahaha …" No matter whose carriage you are, if you are going through my path, you will have to leave behind money to buy your way. If you do not have money, then leave behind your life! " An arrogant voice rang out.

Mama Zeng was shocked. He knew that they had met bandits.

However, there were quite a few pilgrims going to the Hanshan Temple in the capital, and they had never heard of a bandit. Logically speaking, if there were bandits, they would have long been dealt with by the yamen. Who dares to make a move under the feet of the Son of Heaven after eating the Bear-Heart Leopard?

However, Xie Wanqing knew that the other party was not as simple as a bandit. There were probably people who could not bear to see her return alive and wanted her life. Previously, when she was in the Hanshan Temple, there were many pilgrims in the temple, and there was also a State Protector living inside. It was not easy for the other party to make a move, if something happened, the yamen would investigate everything.

Now that they were on the mountain path, even if the yamen wanted to keep an eye on them, it would be impossible to investigate. They would only think of them as wandering bandits and would never think that someone would buy them for murder.

Xie Wanqing did not bring much wealth with him when she came to Hanshan Temple, but instead brought a lot of bedding and clothes. How natural this was. No matter how she thought about it, the yamen would never think that someone was trying to harm her.

At this moment, he heard the guard outside say: "Impudent, we are the guards of Marquis Anyang's Mansion, and the people inside the carriage are from the house of the Marquis, how dare you!"

He had only said that they were people of the Hou clan, not that they were seven years old. Firstly, it was to intimidate the Mountain Bandits, and secondly, to think of Xie Wanqing's safety. If the bandits knew the truth, they would probably be even more fearless.

After all, who would be afraid of a child?

However, they did not know who the bandits were, so they were not afraid when they heard his name.
