Chapter 266: Ambition

Although Lin Mo didn't know why Gongzi suddenly had the idea of traveling, he didn't think that it was a bad thing for Gongzi to leave the capital to travel, but if he was the only one to escort him along the way, it would be a big mistake.

And he always felt that Su Shi's mood was very low today, and leaving the capital to travel was just an excuse, and he seemed to be running away from something.

So Lin Mo cautiously asked, "Why is Childe so anxious to travel?" ”

Su Shi was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I'm afraid that I will kill the wrong person." ”

Lin Mo was taken aback again, and he looked at Su Shi in horror: "Childe wants to kill someone?" ”

Su Shi's eyes gradually became dim: "I don't kill Beren, but Beren died because of me." ”

Lin Mo naturally didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so he could only look at him in a daze.

Su Shi explained: "It means that although I don't have the intention to kill, others will die because of me." ”

Lin Mo still didn't understand.

Su Shi sighed and continued: "Whether it is Zhao Liang, Du Ziqi, or You Gui, if it weren't for me, they might not have died. ”

Lin Mo's eyes became a little strange, and he even wanted to reach out and touch Su Shi's forehead, whether he was suffering from heat stroke because of the hot weather, so he was talking nonsense.

"Do you think I'm crazy?" Looking at Lin Mo's strange eyes, Su Shi couldn't help but ask.

Lin Mo wanted to shake his head, but his neck was extremely stiff at this time, and he wanted to say no, but he couldn't say these two words.

Su Shi seemed to be talking to him, and as if he was talking to himself: "Maybe they don't deserve to die, if I continue to investigate, maybe I will kill more people who don't deserve to die." ”

Lin Mo plucked up the courage to ask at this time, "Why does Gongzi think they don't deserve to die?" Pei Hyun wants to cause trouble, and they are all Pei Hyun's people, so naturally they are also harboring evil intentions, and it is not a pity to die. ”

Su Shi was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "What if they are doing all this for a noble ambition? ”

"Lofty ambitions?" Lin looked at him indifferently: "What ambition?" ”

Su Shi sighed quietly: "This is also what I want to know." ”

Then his eyes looked into the distance distractedly: "The reason why I want to travel far away is also to see what the big cadres outside the capital are like." ”

After finishing speaking, Su Shi slowly lay down again.

When he lay down, Lin Mo also stood up and stood silently beside him.

Although he couldn't understand Su Shi's words, and he didn't know what was going on in his head, he knew that Childe needed to be quiet now.

Su Shi reclined on the bench, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

When I woke up, I saw the sun setting.

Su Shi stretched his waist, and then said lazily to Lin Mo: "Prepare the car." ”

Lin Mo asked, "Childe wants to go out?" ”

Su Shi stood up and expanded his chest as he walked: "I've been in the house for a day, and it's time to move." ”

"Not eating in the house?"

As soon as he thought of those light and tasteless meals, Su Shi immediately said: "I have opened dozens of restaurants now, even if I change the taste every day, it will not be the same for three hundred and sixty-five days a year, why should I stay in the house and suffer." ”

"Which restaurant is that boy going to?"

Su Shi thought for a while: "Is there anything near the palace?" ”

Lin Mo replied very simply: "I don't know." ”

Su Shi sighed: "Then let's go to the vicinity of the palace to find out." ”

An hour later, Su Shi regretted his decision, because a few streets near the palace, not only did not have his restaurant, but there was not even a restaurant.

What made Su Shi even more depressed was that the people living near the palace were all relatives of the emperor and noble ministers, so Su Shi couldn't even take the carriage, so he had to walk.

And Su Shi had to endure the strange eyes of those disciples, because they had never seen anyone wander down this street.

"Isn't this man sick in the head?"

Not only did those disciples think so, but even Lin Mo began to have some doubts.

Because he had advised Su Shi to take a detour, but he didn't know if Gongzi was still suffering from heat stroke and still had a fever, so he had to take this street.

Lin Mo pulled the carriage and followed behind Su Shi, and he really admired him.

Because even though there were countless people looking at him with all kinds of strange eyes, Su Shi still put his hands behind his back, walked slowly, and seemed calm.

It was as if he was not walking on a deserted street, but on a winding path to find seclusion.

Fortunately, although this street is long, it will eventually come to an end, and seeing that he can leave this extremely depressing street as long as he walks through one more mansion, Lin Mo's mood has also become better.

Su Shi also seemed to be a little tired from walking, so he stepped up his pace, as if he wanted to walk across the street as soon as possible to get into the carriage earlier.

However, after leaving this street, Lin Mo was about to let Gongzi get into the car, but he saw Su Shi looking at the tall palace wall on the other side of the river in a daze.

Su Shi was in a daze for a while, and was about to get into the carriage, when he suddenly saw smoke in front of him, and he didn't feel a little curious.

"Is it a temple or a Taoist temple?"

Lin Mo only glanced at it and said, "That's Guangdu Temple." ”

Su Shi was even more curious: "Why is there a temple here?" ”

"That temple was built by the first emperor, and the first emperor had to go to the temple to offer incense and petition every time he went on an expedition. In the past, it was to Tonghua Temple outside the city, but later it was felt that the distance was too far, so Guangdu Temple was built here. ”

Su Shi said with a smile: "Since you have met it, why do you have to go to the incense stick and add some sesame oil." ”

Lin Mo naturally didn't say anything, so the two came to the gate of Guangdu Temple.

From a distance, I didn't think the temple was grand, and when he walked to the door, Su Shi looked at the wide square in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned.

Lin Mo said with a smile: "When the first emperor sent incense to petition, there were naturally hundreds of civil and military officials and soldiers standing below, so such a wide square was built. ”

Su Shi thought for a moment, then nodded: "That scene must be spectacular." ”

Lin Mo said again: "However, after Your Majesty ascended the throne, he never used swords and soldiers, because the incense of this Guangdu Temple is not as prosperous as before. ”

At the end of the square are nine steps, and above the steps is a platform, on which a large tripod is placed.

Behind the big tripod is a row of half-man-high stone troughs, which are filled with incense.

The green smoke rose into the air, and the temple behind it was hidden in the smoke, making it even more solemn.

"Didn't you say that the incense is not prosperous, looking at this situation, there are only a lot of people who come to offer incense."

Lin Mo smiled: "This can be compared with before." It is said that in the past, people who came here to burn incense filled the entire square, and if you wanted to burn incense, you had to queue for a full hour. And in order to prevent stampedes, even the Royal Forest Army had to be dispatched to maintain order. It's as deserted as it is now, and you can come to incense at any time. ”

Su Shi was stunned: "There is such a lively scene." ”

"Doesn't Childe want to be incense? I'm going to buy incense. ”

Su Shi suddenly said: "I'm hungry, and I don't have the mood to be fragrant, let's find a place to eat first." ”
