Let's follow the king, little master

Wisps of green smoke were sent straight up to the temple, and the road on the mountain was also full of people who came to worship. There were five members of a family, including young ladies and young masters, dignitaries, and poor children.

In the past two days, Li Mu has visited several monasteries, big and small. Every time, he can't help but sigh that Kyoto is really different from Cong County. The temples have never lost people. Except for temples as big as Wude Temple in Cong County, there are many people on the opening day. In addition, small monasteries usually have few people, and only at temple fairs will there be more people.

After entering the temple, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, Li Mu walked up to a monk with palms together and saluted:

"I wonder if there is a senior brother Huiren in your temple?"

"I know people who don't have this Dharma name. Donor might as well ask someone else." The monk said.

Li Mu didn't wear a monk's uniform, so it's not surprising that the monk called him a benefactor. Hearing that he said no, Li Mu was about to leave. When he was about to walk down the mountain, he saw a monk carrying a pile of scriptures and preparing to go. Walking in the backyard, I couldn't see the face clearly because I turned my head sideways, but even if I was very careful, the books were still wobbly, so Li Mu hurried to the few books on it that he rarely took.

"Thank you benefactor." The monk paused while turning his face.

Li Mu took the book and raised his head to look at the monk, then grinned and looked at him, the monk was none other than Deng Zeran.

"Brother." Li Mu said with a smile.

Deng Zeran nodded, then walked forward with the book in his hand, Li Mu followed behind in surprise, and the two walked into the Library Pavilion.

"Thank you, benefactor, just put the books down." Deng Zeran said and began to tidy up the books.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, I'm Li Mu." Li Mu said doubtfully.

"Since the benefactor intends not to leave home, he will no longer be called Senior Brother and Junior Brother."

"It's not that I don't want to go out, it's just that I haven't taken the precept because of the delay."

"In my opinion." Deng Zeran sneered, "The benefactor's precept is too much to bear, it's better to live your comfortable life earlier."

"Senior brother, what did you say? You know that I want to become a monk. Is it because I did something wrong that senior brother didn't say goodbye when he left?" Li Mu looked at Deng Zeran and said.

Deng Zeran stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Mu, still expressionlessly said:

"Farewell to you? I don't even know how I got there. I only know that I was in Wude Temple as soon as I woke up, but for some reason, the senior brother there saw me awake and drove me away. I was kicked out I have nowhere to go, and I may come to Kyoto alone. I thought that there would be a place for me in Kyoto, but I was fine for a day or two. I have to leave in five days, so I cycled around the big and small monasteries in Kyoto. Who do you think caused all of my things?" Deng Zeran continued to move after finishing speaking.

"I'm sorry, brother. I didn't know it would turn out like this. After you left, I asked the brothers in the temple where you were going, and they all said that you went back to Wude Temple. I was in a bad mood and didn't continue to ask." Li Mu said in a low voice. head said.

"So, you already know who did it." Deng Zeran said, "You have always known, right? You do that nasty thing with that person but you pretend to want to become a monk and take precepts, don't you think it's funny!" Deng Zeran shouted suddenly.

Li Mu stared at Deng Zeran with wide eyes, he was really frightened by his words.

"Are you still pretending to be pitiful here? Aren't you smart? Don't you know what that man thinks about you? Which man would be so close to another man, or do you enjoy yourself and don't want to let yourself know? The relationship between men and women It's all forbidden, let alone you who are as good as Longyang!" Deng Zeran said excitedly again when he saw Li Mu's appearance, and then he dropped the book in his hand and ran out of Zangshu Pavilion.

Li Mu clenched his fists and inserted his nails into his palms. He kept replaying what Deng Zeran said in his mind, and walked out of the temple step by step. did not hear it.He looked at the crowd around him, but he seemed to only see men and women holding hands. He seemed to search for traces of the two men together but couldn't find it, so he walked to the small river he passed by when he came and sat down.

Yu Che returned triumphantly but no one greeted him. The second prince in the palace said he was not sick and no one was there in the morning court. Except for the memorials that were still corrected on time, there was almost no sign of the second prince. But because nothing was delayed, the civil servants did not. What to say, it's just that Yu Che triumphantly should have come out to greet him, but there was no movement, but before the civil servants could say anything, Yu Che came to the palace, saying that he was meeting the second prince, but went straight to the queen's palace.

When Yu Che was notified to see him, the queen planned to see her, but yesterday, news came from Huazhi suddenly, saying that the second prince was fake, and that the second prince was not in the palace, so the queen wanted to find out whether this matter had something to do with Yu Che. Che was related, so he was invited in.

Yu Che walked into the palace and did not see the queen, and it took almost half a stick of incense for the queen to appear, Yu Che was not in a hurry, and when he saw the queen who appeared, he also paid his respects, and the queen's unremitting face was even more unhappy.

"You didn't kneel down when you saw Bengong?" the queen asked.

"If I remember correctly, my mother waited here for a long time for the queen and finally gave birth prematurely. I think the queen still remembers." Yu Che looked at the queen and said.

"It seems that you are here to settle an old score with me." The Queen picked up the teacup on the table and said.

"The empress already knew the fact that the second prince was not in the palace, why she didn't report it for so long is because the empress knew that if the second prince disappeared, it would not be your son who would ascend the throne in sequence, but me. I want to thank the empress, if the empress did not allow me to be born early but instead let her own child be born early, then maybe I would not be hindered by this time." Yu Che said with a smile.

"Did you come here to declare war on me?" The queen clenched the teacup in her hand and looked at Yu Che fiercely.

"Declaration of war? The queen is thinking too much. The queen is not qualified to declare war with me. I just came here to tell you for my mother that everything she lost will be recovered from you." Yu Che smiled and looked at her eyes after speaking. The Queen turned and left.

The queen angrily picked up the cup on the table and threw it at Yu Che, but she didn't expect the cup to bounce back with a force and hit her own feet directly.

"Come on, catch this traitor for me, catch him." The queen pointed at Yu Che's back and said.

It's just that the people outside have already been controlled by Yu Che's people, so how can anyone listen to his call? The only sound left in the huge palace is the queen's angry roar.

Sitting alone by the river, motionless, the shadow constantly changes direction as the sun shines, neither knowing nor wanting to know the suffering of the master.

There was the sound of horseshoes behind him, followed by the sound of a person getting off the horse. Even though Li Mu heard it, he didn't turn his head.The person who got off the horse sat next to Li Mu, tilted his head to look at Li Mu, and found that there were tears on Li Mu's face, and the tears continued to flow down. Li Mu looked at the person, it was Bai Yuzhen.

"What's wrong with you?" Bai Yuzhen said, "Zi Che went to the palace. They came to me when they saw that you hadn't moved for a long time and didn't know what to do. It seems that they were secretly wronged by you Tears. Why don’t you tell me if I can help you, or do you want me to go find Zi Che.”

"Why?" Li Mu didn't move but said softly, "Why are you looking for him?"

Bai Yuzhen was suddenly asked this question but didn't know how to answer it. Seeing that he didn't respond, Li Mu said again:

"You were not like this when we first met, but you have always avoided me since I arrived in the camp. That day when Yu Che led his troops away and you led me alone, you just followed me, and answered whatever I asked. Nothing else. I thought you hated me."

"I don't hate you." Bai Yuzhen lowered his head and said.

"So, it's because of my relationship with Yu Che."

"What's your relationship with Yu Che?" Bai Yuzhen laughed suddenly, but the smile didn't look happy.

"I just want to ask you, in your opinion, what is the relationship between me and Yu Che?" Li Mu asked, staring into Bai Yuzhen's eyes.

"This, isn't it just the two of you who know this? How can I, an outsider, know this?" Bai Yuzhen avoided Li Mu's gaze.

"I don't know, maybe I know but everyone thinks differently from me. Now it seems that I can't find the answer from you." Li Mu said, stood up and left the river, throwing Bai Yuzhen was alone, but this time Bai Yuzhen was left stunned by the river.
