Chapter 278: Up the Mountain
"Miss wants to go up?" Lian Feng looked at Peng Mo's face, and then looked up at the temple halfway up the mountainside, not close, but not far, once and again, it would take more than half an hour.
Peng Mo nodded listening to the words of Lianfeng, but her eyes did not withdraw from the temple, in her previous life, she was the same as her mother, respecting the gods and believing in the gods, but when the catastrophe occurred, the gods did not protect them!
Therefore, since she was reborn, she has never believed in these things, and occasionally accompanied her mother to do morning classes or go to the temple to worship the Buddha is just a "companion".
Even though she was flustered at this time, her purpose in going up the mountain was not to worship the Buddha and pray, but to find a quiet place, smell sandalwood, drink a cup of tea, and calm down.
With these elves, she can't afford to make a moment's mistake.
Liuying looked up and said respectfully: "If the master wants to go up, the slave will accompany you." ”
Peng Mo shook his head and said, "You stay, let Lianfeng accompany me." Saying that, she looked sideways at Liuying and said, "Those few, keep an eye on them." ”
Liuying followed Peng Mo's eyes and looked, King Ming and King Wu of Nanyan Kingdom were getting together with the Lord of Siyan, I don't know what they were talking about, but they were talking happily when they looked like they.
"The slave understands. Liuying's jaw head agreed, but although the mountain is not high, she doesn't know if it's safe, so she doesn't feel at ease to let a little girl follow her.
"If anyone asks, say I'll go to the pillar of incense and I'll be back in a moment, and if no one asks, there's no need to alarm anyone. After Peng Mo finished speaking, he went up the mountain with mercy.
Liuying watched Peng Mo go up the mountain, turned back and found Jin Xiuchen, bent down and picked up Peng Li beside him, and said in a low voice: "The master has gone up the mountain, and he only brought Lianfeng alone." ”
Jin Xiuchen nodded, glanced at Peng Mo who had climbed a short section of the mountain road without a trace, frowned slightly and quickly stretched, unfolded the folding fan and walked leisurely to the emperor's place.
Although the top of this mountain has been searched by the Royal Forest Army in advance, it is not safe for her to go up the mountain after all, even if there are no bad people, is there no snake, insect, rat and ant, if it is scared and bitten, it will not make people feel distressed?
But here are the best people in Kyoto, and he can't get out of it, let alone avoid everyone's eyes, and just a few steps away, Senmian in the form of a small servant followed.
"Your Highness, the princess has gone up the mountain. "Because Qi Xin and Wang Lu went out far away, Jin Xiuchen only took him with him when they went out this time.
"Go ahead, don't alarm anyone, just follow from afar. Since she went up the mountain without telling anyone, she didn't want to be disturbed.
"Yes. Qianmian answered in a low voice, but did not immediately go up the mountain, but circled around the group of guards, made up a few words, and then avoided people and went up the mountain from the other side.
Li Ji's eyes kept following Jin Xiuchen's figure, and she was overjoyed to see the elegance revealed in his gestures.
Siyan's eyes were fixed on the two figures on the mountain, and then at the Liuying who coaxed the child.
The corners of his mouth were raised, and Peng Mo took a maid who didn't know martial arts up the mountain? I wonder if Zhao Shi can escape the search of the Royal Forest Army and hide in the temple?
If you can, it's a good show!
Lian Feng followed behind Peng Mo, looking at the lush weeds on both sides of the sheep intestine path, and the cool air that penetrated his clothes into his skin, shrunk his shoulders, and said, "Miss, why do I feel so cold? "Hell, right?
Peng Mo was a little amused, pointed to the big tree above his head that covered the sky and the sun, and said, "It's just that the mountains are cool, what evil people dare to spread wild at the feet of the Bodhisattva?"
Lianfeng nodded, yes, the Bodhisattva's temple is on the mountain, which imp who doesn't want to die dares to come out?
Here, Peng Hao came to Peng Zhan's place and asked with a smile: "Big brother, do you need help?"
Peng Zhan was directing how to patrol the troops, and when he heard the words, he said, "You came just in time, did you see the mountain?"
Peng Hao said with a smile: "I'm not blind, I naturally saw it." ”
Peng Zhan ignored his anecdotal remarks, frowned, and said: "The location discussed before is twenty miles ahead, and the surrounding environment has already been prepared, but the emperor took a fancy to the scenery here on a whim and wanted to camp here, so I was caught off guard." ”
Peng Hao hurriedly restrained his joking attitude when he heard this, and asked, "What do you want from the eldest brother?"
Peng Zhan said solemnly: "You take a team of people to the mountain, search carefully and carefully, and remember, don't let go of any place." ”
"I know the severity, big brother rest assured. "Peng Hao is a person who doesn't know the importance there, so he is busy taking Peng Zhandian's soldiers and going to which mountain.
The emperor's tent has been set up, Jin Xiuchen came to the tent, and the little eunuch was busy going to the tent.
"Let King Chen in. The emperor suspended the conversation with King Ning.
The little eunuch invited Jin Xiuchen in, and Jin Xiuchen knelt down and saluted.
"Get up, where are there so many rules when you get out of the palace gate. The emperor said with Yan Yuese, and the little eunuch hurriedly moved a chair for Jin Xiuchen to sit on.
King Ning stepped forward to greet Jin Xiuchen, and shouted in unison: "Nine Emperor Uncles." ”
Jin Xiuchen saw the two standing side by side, rubbed it for a while, and said with a slight smile: "Looking at it this way, it looks like King Ning and King Dazhe are a lot." ”
The emperor followed to see the two, it was not obvious that they did not get together in the past, but now the two stood together, the young King Ning was indeed much taller and stronger than the older King Zhe.
Thinking of the sins suffered by King Zhe in the palace in those years, the emperor felt a trace of regret in his heart.
King Ning listened to Jin Xiuchen's words, and only felt that he was better than Jin Zhe's kid, so he suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you Nine Emperor Uncle for your compliment." ”
Jin Xiuchen was stunned, did he praise it?
The other person who was stunned was Jin Zhe, how could the meaning of the Nine Emperor Uncle sound pity? He glanced at the emperor without a trace, and he did not miss the remorse that flashed on the emperor's face.
After a turn of thought, he looked at Jin Xiuchen puzzled.
Jin Xiuchen met Jin Zhe's eyes, winked at him, and turned his face away to talk to the emperor, reacting quickly, as if the blink just now was just a hallucination of King Zhe.
"What is Peng Zhan doing?" the emperor asked Jin Xiuchen, who had just come in from outside, thinking that he knew.
"Brother Huang didn't assign him this security task, he should be arranging patrols at this time. Jin Xiuchen's answer was not clear, in front of the emperor, he never showed a little more attention to the General's Mansion.
When the emperor heard this, he laughed and said, "I ordered this place temporarily, presumably Peng Qing is having a headache about security issues at this time." ”
Jin Xiuchen was stunned, the fan in his hand almost fell off, and he hurriedly grabbed it in the palm of his hand, and asked, "Is the imperial brother here a temporary idea?"
Isn't that... Isn't it safe to be here? What about the mountains?
The emperor looked at Jin Xiuchen suspiciously: "Yes, why did you react so much?"
Jin Xiuchen hurriedly shook his head, half joking and half flattering: "It's nothing, you should do whatever you want when you go out to play, the imperial brother's move is very free, very free." As he spoke, his eyes looked in the direction of the mountain, and his eyebrows wrinkled invisibly, I don't know if a thousand faces can catch up with Peng Mo?
The emperor was in a good mood, and laughed when he heard the words, without those trivial and complicated twists and turns, he really felt refreshed.
Gu Lingyu waited quietly outside the imperial tent, looking at the high-ranking officials and nobles camped by the lake from a distance, he was also one of them last year... The past is unthinkable.
His priority now is not to remember the past!
The imperial tent was opened, and King Ning and King Zhe walked out, because the emperor and Jin Xiuchen wanted to play chess, so they sent them to retreat.
Gu Lingyu came back to his senses and stepped forward and bowed.
King Ning felt upset when he saw Gu Lingyu, and raised his feet lightly and left, if he hadn't been hand-picked by his father, how could he still have the life to hang around here?
Gu Lingyu did not immediately follow King Ning's footsteps, but looked up at King Zhe, the man who held the lives of his wife and children in his hands.
Was the person behind that sent by King Zhe? Even if he didn't send him, he should be familiar with him, right?
King Zhe was inexplicably looked at by Gu Lingyu's deep eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Are you the person next to King Ning?"
Gu Lingyu ignored his words, but asked rhetorically, "Can His Royal Highness King Zhe know you?"
"I don't know. Tetsu shook his head very sincerely, many people in and out of Kyoto he didn't know.
Praruo looked at the step forward and whispered in King Zhe's ear: "This is Gu Lingyu Gu Gongzi, who is now the first strategist in the Ning Palace!"
King Zhe suddenly couldn't help but glance at Gu Lingyu more, he was the one who was righteous and awe-inspiring and reported his own family? He was also the grandson of Gu Xiang, the most powerful foreign family in Kyoto at that time!
"First?" Gu Lingyu was not stunned, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth at random, the plan appointed by the emperor should be the first!
But he, the first counselor, has not yet spoken ten words to his master!
His top priority now is to change King Ning's attitude, so that he can do things, thinking of this, he politely said goodbye to King Zhe, asked King Ning's big tent, and went to "go to work".
Here, Peng Mo came to the door of the meditation nunnery, looked at the mottled and gray doors and walls, and turned to look at the road, the lush trees and weeds had made her unable to see the lake and the honor guard at the foot of the mountain.
He didn't even see a figure since he went up the mountain, but when he came to the door, he looked at the two closed doors and muttered, "Although the scenery here is good, this meditation nunnery is too dilapidated." ”
After speaking, he looked at Peng Mo, who had a flat face, and hurriedly stepped forward to knock on the door, only when he knocked for the fifth time, a dull voice came from inside the door.
"Who?"
Lianfeng replied lightly: "We are passing by, and we want to burn incense here." ”
After a moment, there was a "squeak", and the closed door opened, and there was a Taoist aunt standing inside, this Taoist aunt was in her forties, very thin, dressed in a pulp white Taoist robe, and twisted a string of worn Buddhist beads in her hand.
Peng Mo folded his hands and saluted, and Dao Gu returned the salute, and let the two enter the temple gate.
The temple was very quiet and clean, but there was no smell of people, Peng Mo took two steps and asked, "Is there only one Shitai in this temple?"
