Chapter 240: Heading North

Early the next morning, a small novice came knocking on the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that the monk was thoughtful, and yesterday I heard Chu Mo say that he was going to burn incense, so I remembered it in my heart. Afraid that Chu Mo would miss the time to burn incense, he hurriedly asked Xiao Shami to remind him.

Chu Mo was helpless, he just said casually yesterday, but the monk took it seriously. It's hard for him to say that he won't go, and people are also kind. Therefore, he had no choice but to get up, hurriedly freshen up, and go to the main hall to burn incense and worship the Buddha. In the main hall, the monks were still in the morning class, and in the sound of muttering scriptures, Chu Mo took the three sticks of incense with a pious face, knelt down, and inserted them into the incense burner. Subsequently, he thanked the abbot and the monk of the guest.

When he came out of the main hall, many pilgrims were outside the hall, waiting to enter and pay their respects.

There are many female relatives among the pilgrims, seeing that Chu Shizi is dressed in brocade clothes and has a great demeanor, and some of the girls who have not left the pavilion are blushing when they look at it, and if they are bold, they will stare at it directly.

Qinghe followed behind Chu Mo, and the prince did not look left and right with a straight face, so he had no such scruples. After looking around, he poked the Luo River on the side and motioned for Luo He to look at it too. He sighed in his heart: His own prince has gained a lot of hearts, but unfortunately, the hearts of these girls are destined to be empty.

Chu Mo finished burning incense, ate fasting, and slowly walked towards the guest house where Chu Zhaoye lived.

Outside the guest house, there were many guards standing to guard it, and occasionally pilgrims passed by, all of them unconsciously walked around.

Chu Mo walked to the front of the can, only to see that the courtyard door was closed. He didn't need anyone else to step forward, he went up and pulled the knocker himself.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, a little eunuch poked his head out and scolded loudly, "Who is so bold as to dare to disturb the Third Highness." ”

"I told the Third Highness that I was tired of telling the Third Highness, and I said that Chu Mo was visiting." Chu Mo was not angry, and said with a smile.

The little eunuch had never seen Chu Mo, but he had naturally heard who Chu Mo was. He hurriedly opened half of the courtyard door, knelt down and kowtowed, and changed his face, "It turned out to be the prince of the world." The slave doesn't know that it is the prince of the world, and he hopes that the prince will forgive his sins. ”

"Okay, I don't bother with you, go and tell me."

The little eunuch got up, turned around, and ran into the courtyard.

After a while, Li Gui walked out behind the little eunuch, "It's really the prince of Chu, the slave asks for peace to the prince." Li Gui knelt down and bowed, and Chu Mo stood up after signaling, "Lord Shizi, please come into the courtyard to serve tea." ”

As he spoke, he led the way, and Chu Mo followed behind, taking Qinghe and Luohe, and commenting on the scenery in the courtyard as he walked.

The courtyard where Chu Zhaoye lives should be prepared by Huangjue Temple for pilgrims with families, it is extremely spacious, and it is a front and back courtyard. A stone path that surrounds the courtyard wall connects the front and back.

"The environment here is quiet, the scenery is good, and it is far away from mundane affairs, and the mood of the Third Highness living here should be much better."

"Yes, since the Third Highness came here, I am in a much better mood. When I first arrived, I listened to the presiding abbot's lecture, and His Royal Highness also vowed to copy a thousand copies of the Diamond Sutra. I went into the study every day and didn't come out until I went to bed. Li Guixu babbled about how Chu Zhaoye was sincere, copying scriptures, and so on.

"Then the Third Highness is in the study now?"

"yes. Hey, look at the memory of the slave, just now I patronized to welcome the prince, and I forgot to tell His Highness that the prince was coming. His Royal Highness has explained that when he enters the study, he must not disturb anything. The minions forgot. Li Gui blamed himself as he took Chu Mo to the small courtyard outside the study.

He personally walked to the door of the study and said, "Your Highness, the prince of Chu has come to visit you. ”

"Is it Zhiyuan?" Chu Zhaoye's voice came from far and near, walked to the Xuan window outside the study, and pushed open half of the Xuan window, "Zhiyuan is here, I should have sat with him." It's just that I promised to preside over the scriptures and sincerely copy the scriptures and pray for the blessing of the child who has no chance. Fortunately, Zhiyuan is not an outsider, so forgive me for being rude. ”

Chu Mo saw that Chu Zhaoye's face was hidden by the window, and the light was dim, making that face a little blurry. He took a few steps closer, approached the Xuan window, and asked with concern, "The Third Highness has lost some weight recently. ”

"Really?" Chu Zhaoye raised his hand and touched his cheek, "I don't think I think it myself, maybe I've been a vegetarian." ”

He didn't come out, Chu Mo was not good at breaking in, and Chu Mo comforted Chu Zhaoye through the window to mourn Yunyun, and then said goodbye and left.

Qinghe followed behind Chu Mo, walked out of the guest house, saw that there was no one around, couldn't help but take two steps up, and asked, "Lord Shizi, I feel that the people who are serving around His Royal Highness, except for the chief manager Li Gui, are a little nervous. ”

When Chu Mo was talking to Chu Zhaoye just now, Qinghe didn't follow and approached, and paid attention to the few people waiting in the courtyard.

"Nervous?"

"It's not obvious, it's just that when you walked over, the two guards followed and moved two steps to the study." Qinghe said his observation, "It's like a thief, I don't know what is in the study." ”

"There's nothing in the study, you should say, there's something missing in the study." Chu Mo squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Your Royal Highness, this trick of the golden cicada is out of its shell, I don't know where it is going." ”

The Chu Zhaoye in the study was very similar to Chu Zhaoye himself, but unfortunately, the voice that spoke was not from the person's mouth.

Chu Mo learned art from the people of the rivers and lakes, and of course he had also seen ventriloquism and double reeds, if he changed people, he might really be able to fool the past.

He said this in a very soft voice, Qinghe didn't hear it clearly, and leaned his ear forward again, "Master, what are you talking about?" ”

Chu Mo came back to his senses and slapped Qinghe's head open, "I didn't say anything, let's ...... Not...... If you go to the temple and say it, you will say that we will stay for one day today and leave tomorrow. ”

Qinghe took the order and went to the temple to explain.

Chu Mo called Luohe over, "Luohe, you go back to Beijing now." went to Yan's Mansion to tell Miss Yan, and said that the real person was gone. ”

This was a bit brainless, but Luo He didn't talk much and didn't inquire much, so he was ordered to return to Beijing.

Chu Mo turned his head and glanced in the direction of the guest house over there, Chu Zhaoye was in such a hurry to leave Beijing, for what? Where do you want to go?

In the battle in Yanzhou in the north, Lin Tianhu had Yan Mingde and his son to lead the troops to help, and it should be a matter of time before they held Yanzhou and drove the Northern Yan people out of the Tiger Roar Pass.

I heard that after Han Wangzhi took office in Yingzhou, he was very interested in disaster relief, and the recruitment of young men and women to serve in the army among the victims was also the fastest progress in Yingzhou.

Chu Zhaoye, what reason is there to be so risky? Once Emperor Yuan found out that he had left Beijing without permission, it was not a trivial matter.

Chu Mo shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and turned back to his guest house.

And on Chu Zhaoye's side, after Chu Mo left, the door of the courtyard was closed tightly.

Li Gui came to a corner at the back of the courtyard, where there was actually a cage of pigeons.

Li Gui grabbed a pigeon, rolled the note in his hand into a small roll, stuffed it into the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's legs, and carefully stuffed the mouth of the bamboo tube. He lifted the dove and threw it into the sky.

The dove flew in a circle in the sky and headed north. (To be continued.) )
