Although Lin Mo didn't know why the young master suddenly had the idea of traveling, he didn't think it was a bad thing for the young master to leave the capital for a trip. However, it would be a big mistake if he was the only one escorting him along the way.
And he always felt that Su Shi was in a very low mood today, and leaving the capital for a trip was just an excuse. He seemed to be escaping from something.
So Lin Mo asked cautiously: "Why are you so anxious to travel, Master?"
Su Shi was silent for a while and said slowly: "I'm afraid that I will kill the wrong person."
Lin Mo was startled again. He looked at Su Shi in horror: "Young Master wants to kill someone?"
Su Shi's eyes gradually darkened: "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me."
Lin Mo naturally didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so he could only look at him blankly.
Su Shi explained: "It means that although I have no intention of killing, other people will die because of me."
Lin Mo still didn't understand.
Su Shi sighed and continued: "Whether Zhao Liang, Du Ziqi, or You Gui, without 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 to see if he was suffering from heat stroke due to 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. He wanted to say no, but he couldn't say these two words.
Su Shi seemed to be talking to him, and also seemed to be saying to himself: "Maybe they don't deserve to die. If I continue to pursue it, more people who don't deserve to die may be killed."
Lin Mo mustered up the courage to ask: "Why do you think they don't deserve to die? Pei Xun wants to bring trouble to Daqian, and they are all Pei Xun's people. Naturally, they harbor evil intentions and die without mercy."
Su Shi was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "What if what they did is for a lofty ambition?"
"A noble ambition?" Lin Mo looked at him puzzled: "What ambition?"
Su Shi sighed quietly: "This is what I also want to know."
Then he looked blankly into the distance: "The reason why I want to travel far away is because I also want to see what Dagan is like outside the capital."
After saying that, Su Shi slowly lay down again.
After he lay down, Lin Mo also stood up and stood beside him silently.
Although he couldn't understand Su Shi's words and didn't know what was going on in his head, he knew that the young master needed to be quiet now.
Su Shi was lying on the bench with his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
When I woke up, I saw the sunset.
Su Shi stretched, and then lazily said to Lin Mo: "Prepare the car."
Lin Mo asked: "Master, are you going out?"
Su Shi stood up and expanded his chest as he walked: "I've been in the house for a day, it's time to do some exercise."
"Don't you want to eat at the house?"
Thinking of those bland 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 three hundred and sixty-five days a year. Why should I stay in the house and suffer."
"Which restaurant are you planning to go to?"
Su Shi thought for a while: "Is there one near the palace?"
Lin Mo answered simply: "I don't know."
Su Shi sighed: "Then let's go look for it near the palace."
An hour later, Su Shi regretted his decision, because in the streets near the palace, not only did he not have his restaurant, there was not even a restaurant.
What made Su Shi even more depressed was that the people living near the palace were all royal relatives and noble ministers, so Su Shi couldn't even ride in a carriage and had to walk.
Moreover, Su Shi had to endure the strange looks from those disciples, because they had never seen anyone strolling on this street.
"Is there something wrong with this man's head?"
Not only those disciples thought 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 the young master was still having a fever due to heat stroke, so he had to take this street.
Lin Mo pulled the carriage and followed Su Shi, really admiring him.
Because even though countless people looked at him with various strange eyes, Su Shi still put his hands behind his back and walked slowly and leisurely, appearing calm and unhurried.
It seemed as if what he was walking on was not a deserted street, but a winding path for exploration.
Fortunately, although this street was long, it eventually came to an end. Seeing that he only had to walk through one more mansion to leave this extremely depressing street, Lin Mo's mood became better.
Su Shi seemed to be a little tired from walking, so he stepped up his pace, as if he wanted to walk across the street as quickly as possible so that he could get on the carriage early.
However, after leaving this street, Lin Mo was just about to get the young master into the car when 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 on the carriage when he suddenly saw smoke filling the front and felt a little curious.
"Is that a temple or a Taoist temple?"
Lin Mo only took one look and said, "That's Guangdu Temple."
Su Shi was even more curious: "Why is there a temple here?"
"That temple was built by the late emperor. Whenever he went on an expedition, he would go to the temple to offer incense and petition. He used to go to Tonghua Temple outside the city, but later he felt that the distance was too far, so he built Guangdu Temple here."
Su Shi smiled and said: "Since we have met, why should I burn incense and add some sesame oil?"
Lin Mo naturally didn't say anything, so the two of them came to the gate of Guangdu Temple.
From a distance, the temple didn't seem grand. 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 smiled and said: "When the late emperor offered incense and petition, there were naturally hundreds of civil and military officials and soldiers standing below. That's why such a wide square was built."
Su Shi thought for a while, then nodded: "That scene must be spectacular."
Lin Mo added: "However, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he never used weapons rashly, because the incense in Guangdu Temple is not as prosperous as before."
At the end of the square are nine steps, and above the steps is a platform, with a large cauldron placed on the platform.
Behind the cauldron is a row of half-man-high stone troughs filled with incense.
Green smoke rose into the sky, and the temple behind was hidden in the smoke, looking more solemn and solemn.
"Didn't you say that the incense is not in full bloom? Looking at this situation, there must be a lot of people coming to offer incense."
Lin Mo smiled and said: "This can be compared with the past. It is said that people who came here to burn incense were crowded with the whole square. If you want to burn incense, you have to wait in line for an hour. And in order to prevent stampedes, even the imperial guards ordered Go out to maintain order. It's not as deserted as it is now. You can come and offer incense at any time."
Su Shi was stunned: "There is such a lively scene."
"Master, don't you want to burn incense? I'll buy some incense."
Su Shi suddenly said: "I'm hungry, and I'm not in the mood to burn incense. Let's find a place to eat first."
