Chapter 17 Travel to the Golden Camel Temple
Ling Zhiqiao laughed and said, "Then I'm just like scaring Ling'er, and I'm also scaring them." ”
"The old slaves want to see what they can be frightened of?" Qin Mama happily cleaned up before going to rest, Ling Zhiqiao lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, her hand reached under the pillow, took out her little black flute, and played with it in her hand.
I don't know if my father is okay in the Golden Camel Temple, and Du Yunhan hid his identity from me, so Ling Ge Lao must know why this old man also hid it from me.
Ling Zhiqiao didn't sleep very well this night, she couldn't lie down before dawn, she rummaged through the cabinets and found the men's clothes she wore when she entered Beijing, changed into it, brought her self-defense small weapon, wrote a note and quietly stuffed it into the crack in the door of Mama Qin's room, and slipped out through the back door of the dream garden.
She wanted to ask Ling Ge Lao to understand, why she wanted to hide the identity of the second prince, is there anything unspeakable that cannot be hidden?
Ling Zhiqiao's horseback riding skills have been practiced very skillfully, and when she left Kyoto City, she arrived at the Golden Camel Temple in less than two hours.
Ling Zhiqiao's buttocks still hurt when she got off the horse, it seems that she is not blessed to ride a horse, so let's choose a carriage to travel as much as possible in the future! Ling Zhiqiao bolted his horse, moved up the steps of the temple step by step, and smashed the knocker hard.
"Bang bang! Bang bang! Is there anybody? Trouble open the door! ”
With a squeak, it was the yellow-robed monk who opened the door, and when he saw that it was Ling Zhiqiao, he smiled slightly and said, "It turned out to be a girl, why is it a man's clothes, did she sneak out?" ”
Ling Zhiqiao grinned and said: "Master Gao, the little girl misses her father and has trouble sleeping, so she has no choice but to come to see her, dare to ask the master, is her father okay!" ”
"Ha, ha, you girl is a slippery head, come in, come in, the old man is very good, go and see him!"
"Master Xie!" Ling Zhiqiao was just about to go in, and then moved down the steps, the medicine she brought to the elder was still hanging on the saddle, and after she took it, she moved up the steps again, seeing her such a step, the yellow-robed monk became strange.
"What's wrong with the girl's legs?"
Ling Zhiqiao was embarrassed to say that her buttocks hurt, and said with an embarrassed smile: "The master is smiling, the little girl is riding faster, her legs are a little tired, and she will be fine in a while." ”
"It's good that the girl isn't uncomfortable, but don't call the poor monk a master anymore, I really don't dare to be it."
"In my opinion, you are the master, the Buddha said don't care what the name is, just follow the heart, so don't care what I call it!"
"Good, good! Every time the poor monk sees the girl, he can be taught and enlightened, and it seems that the girl is also a person with deep roots. ”
Ling Zhiqiao clasped his hands together and said, "Master, if we continue to discuss like this, I'm afraid the sky will be dark!" ”
"Oh, oh, quick, please!" The yellow-robed monk hurriedly got out of the way.
After some pleasantries, Ling Zhiqiao had regained her flexibility to walk, and soon arrived at the retreat of the elder pavilion.
"Dad, Jo'er has come to see you!"
Ling Ge Lao had just woken up not long ago, and was cleaning up the house, when he heard his daughter's shout, he hurriedly opened the door, and he said with a happy face: "But Qiao'er is here?" ”
Ling Zhiqiao appeared in front of Ling Ge Lao with a bunch of medicines, and said with a smile: "It's Qiao'er who Daddy thinks about day and night!" ”
Ling Ge Lao looked at her like this, and said with a straight face: "You came by yourself?" ”
Ling Zhiqiao saw that the elder Ge was able to walk around on the ground, and it seemed that he was recovering well, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Ling Ge Lao and said, "My daughter really misses her father so much, so I will get up early to see you, send some medicine by the way, and leave after saying a few words." ”
Ling Ge Lao's injured leg was still a little lame, of course he was happy in his heart, but he just pretended to be angry on the surface.
"I have a temple here to take care of everything, and besides, the guards of King Yu also came to see me a few days ago, so don't worry, don't go out of the house without permission in the future, it's better to be careful."
Ling Zhiqiao was thinking about how to ask the elder about concealing the identity of the second prince, when she answered: "Dad, do you still have something to hide from me?" She asked, feigning annoyance.
This question made Ling Ge Lao, who had just sat down, pause: "Qiao'er, why do you say this?" When did Daddy lie to you. ”
"That merry second prince is King Yu, why didn't my father tell me?" Ling Zhiqiao asked with a pout.
"You, you know. Did Your Highness tell you? ”
"How could he tell me? He was still pretending to be a ghost in front of me, acting for me, and playing me like a three-year-old child. ”
"Qiao'er, it's not that my father lied to you, it's His Highness who won't let me say it." Ling Ge Lao anxiously got up and padded his feet to explain to Ling Zhiqiao.
Ling Zhiqiao was actually not angry at all, she just pretended to tease Ling Ge Lao, and besides, she missed Ling Ge Lao a little when she ran this trip today, after all, Ge Lao was her only relative in this life.
As for the reason why Twilight Yunhan wanted to hide her identity, Ling Zhiqiao didn't really want to know, she just wanted to determine whether Twilight Yunhan was the second prince after all, so that she could come up with a good way to trick this man who lied to her.
Maybe it's like what Twilight Yunhan said when they first met, when he finds the talisman, he doesn't care where he goes!
"Dad, sit down, my daughter just confirms, and she will do things in the future." Only then did Ling Ge Lao relax and sit down peacefully.
"Qiao'er, don't blame Your Highness, you must have heard the rumors from the outside world, and maybe he was afraid to tell his identity and scare you. But looking at it for my father, His Royal Highness Yushu is in the wind, and the heroism between his eyebrows is not at all romantic, do you think? ”
Ling Zhiqiao remembered that day in the Nishang Pavilion, the second prince was indeed not romantic, he should be indecent, and the little marquis of the Jiang family had a virtue.
Ling Zhiqiao said disdainfully: "There are many kinds of romance? My daughter looks at him as the most inferior kind, anyway, when I find the talisman, it has nothing to do with it, and then I will take you all over the rivers and rivers, and travel through the world to be happy, how about it? ”
Ling Ge Lao was full of joy, of course he was willing.
Ling Zhiqiao continued: "However, there is one thing I don't understand, Twilight Yunhan didn't tell my uncle, you are still alive?" Why is that? ”
"Since His Highness doesn't want the general to know that his father is not dead, there must be a reason." Ling Ge Lao was also very strange.
"Qiao'er, you better go back to Kyoto as soon as possible! If you don't say goodbye, it's time for the General's Mansion to mess up. ”
"Daddy, don't worry, when I came out, I left a letter for Mama Qin, asking her to wait for me in Sanqingyuan."
Ling Zhiqiao hadn't been away from him for a long time, and listening to her tone, she had completely adapted to the life of the General's Mansion, with the help of Mama Qin and the shopkeeper of Sanqingyuan, Ling Ge Lao was also relieved.
He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Qiao'er, your uncle is a military general after all, and if you can't figure out the affairs of your family, it just so happens that your grandmother and your mother's Jinlan can help you, but you still have to be careful in everything, the general's concubine is not difficult for you!" ”
"No, the well water of the Lu family and I don't interfere with the river water, Dad, these are the medicines I brought to you, mark them, you eat them according to the method I wrote, don't forget, I'll go back." Ling Zhiqiao didn't say anything about the matter between her and Xiao Qinxue, and she didn't tell the old man that she was going to select the crown princess, she just wanted Ling Ge to settle down and recuperate in seclusion.
Ling Ge sent Ling Zhiqiao out of the courtyard with a limp, Ling Zhiqiao said goodbye to her father, and went to the temple hall to find the yellow-robed monk to say goodbye.
"Master, the little girl will go back, and my father will ask the master."
"I don't know if the donor will still dress up like this next time." The yellow-robed monk walked out with her.
"Master, you don't know that those dresses are too cumbersome to wear, but this dress is the most comfortable one I wear."
"Hehe, in the future, the little benefactor is welcome to come to the Golden Camel Temple at any time, and then enlighten the poor monks."
"I am willing to participate with the master, and the little girl will leave." Ling Zhiqiao made a light leap on the horse and headed towards Kyoto City.
According to her calculated time, the sun had just risen when she left the Golden Camel Temple, and she could reach Sanqing Yuan in the middle of the day, Ling Zhiqiao kept rushing back, and after about two-thirds of the way, she felt that the horses were getting harder and harder.
Ling Zhiqiao got off the horse, only to see white foam coming out of the horse's mouth, she said to herself, you can't bear it so close! Don't give me a chain. She remembered that she had seen a post station on the way here, so she changed her mind, and went to the post station to replenish the horses with some fodder and water, and rest for a while before leaving.
The appearance of the post station looked like it had not been open for a long time, the stables shed and the tables and chairs for resting in the courtyard were very new, Ling Zhiqiao led the horse into the post station and shouted: "Shopkeeper, feed my horse some grass and water." ”
A sleepy-eyed guy walked out of the half-hidden door, feeding the horses five yuan, feeding the water five yuan, people for free, Ling Zhiqiao listened funny, it seems that horses are more expensive than people in this post station.
Ling Zhiqiao found a table in the courtyard that was closer to the entrance of the post station, took out ten coins and put it on the table, while looking at the guy to make up for the horse, he took the clay pot on the table and poured a bowl of water, but the bowl was raised to his mouth and he was about to drink it, and he smelled the water wrong.
The general well water is groundwater, and the spring water will have some impurities, and the water in the bowl in front of me seems to have something added, and it has a slightly pungent taste.
Ling Zhiqiao put down the bowl, leaned half sideways to the door of the post station, put her hand on the small weapon on her waist for self-defense, and carefully observed the surroundings, could this be a black shop?
It's normal to look at that guy, and you can't see anything around the station? I didn't drink any water anyway, so I'll just leave when the horses are full. However, Ling Zhiqiao was a special military doctor in her previous life, and like a soldier, she couldn't stand by and watch things that hurt people.
She picked up the bowl again, pretending to drink water with her hand, but her eyes were not idle, anyway, it was still early, I wanted to see what kind of thief it was, and he dared to make money and kill him in broad daylight!
Seeing Ling Zhiqiao lying on the table, the guy wiped his sweat towel on his shoulders and shouted into the room: "Big brother, she's down!" ”
The half-hidden door opened and a man with a big waist and a big waist walked out, and he said in a sullen voice: "What are you shouting? Put the money away from the table first. ”
