82【82】

The days on Mount Wutai are more quiet and leisurely than the Qianbian Sect.

After all, there are no more burly men who shout horns from morning to night to practice swords, only monks who walk silently and chant scriptures every day.

Lin Feilu was lazy after sleeping for a while, so he started to go to the Buddhist temple with the empress dowager to attend morning classes and listen to the monks preaching. Believing or not is one thing, but listening to their low and comfortable voices of the sutra, his mood was indeed much calmer.

Especially Lin Ting, although his relaxation in the world has improved a lot in the past few months, he still feels guilty about the people who died in that battle for the throne. Now that he has come to Mount Wutai, he kneels in front of the Buddha statue and prays for scriptures most of the time.

The monk said that reciting the mantra of rebirth can relieve the dead souls and eliminate evil. All the uneasiness and guilt in his heart can be comforted in front of the Buddha statue.

As soon as he approached the monk, Lin Feilu was a little worried, for fear that the monk would say, "I think your highness has a great connection with Buddha, so it's better to convert to Buddhism." Lin Ting's personality was originally very Buddha-like, and Lin Feilu was afraid that he would see through the world and become a monk.

Although, Miss Yanxin is still waiting for him to go back!

But naturally she thought too much. No matter how powerful the monk is, he would not dare to speak out and guide the prince to become a monk.

After observing for a while, Lin Ting seemed to have no idea of ​​becoming a monk. Lin Feilu felt relieved and began to catch monkeys all over the mountain.

I had a lot of fun all the way and almost forgot my promise to Lin Zhanyuan. When I left Mount Wutai, I would go back to the palace and catch a monkey in advance to raise it. With Lin Ting by my side, it would be great. I wouldn't worry about not being able to raise it when I brought it into the palace.

Fortunately, the wild monkeys in this era are not protective animals, and Lin Feilu doesn’t have to have a psychological burden. I thought that the clever little monkey would be very difficult to catch, but who knew that after taking Lin Ting’s animal magnet and wandering around the mountains for two rounds, a little monkey took the initiative to swing down from the tree and looked at the two people in front of me curiously.

Lin Ting squatted down and took out the apple that had been prepared in advance. The little monkey jumped directly into his hand and nibbled it with the apple. Lin Ting held it in his arms, but it did not resist at all. It was a little relieved to look at the expression.

Lin Feilu was stunned and finally had to give Lin Ting a thumbs up: "It's worthy of being a Disney princess."

Lin Ting was still teasing the little monkey with a smile. When he heard this, he turned around and asked, "What princess?"

Lin Feilu beat him up and said excitedly: "Brother, let's give it a name, how about it just call Kongkong?"

Lin Ting laughed and shook his head: "You have been in Wutai Mountain for so many days, and your understanding has improved a lot. Master Shi'an should be very happy to know it."

Lin Feilu: "?"

What kind of understanding?

I am talking about Sun Wukong's emptiness.

With Kongcun, Lin Feilu's life on Mount Wutai has a lot of fun. She is worthy of being a monkey in Foshan. She is very spiritual and human, and she is worry-free when raising it.

The climate in the mountains changes faster than the one below the mountain. Lin Feilu's ten autumn outfits took turns and had not been worn all over it. It seemed that winter suddenly became on the mountain.

The Empress Dowager accompanied her to roast the fire and said, "It will be cold until it snows really starts. However, the snow scene is very beautiful. You have to enjoy the snow scene well at that time."

Lin Feilu has always liked snow, and playing snowball fights and making snowmen has become an indispensable event for her and Lin Zhanyuan every winter. Unfortunately, she is not with him in the palace this year, so the stupid brother probably will cry again.

She chose a skiing treasure land early, which was extremely suitable for skiing in both the slope and the location. She also prepared skiing tools in advance, and everything was ready, just waiting for it to snow.

Life always becomes better because of expectations.

One morning in the twelfth lunar month, Lin Feilu woke up and opened her eyes and heard the sound of snow falling from the window.

She didn't even have time to put on her shoes, so she ran over and opened the window.

The sight of the mountains is covered with white snow. Wutai Mountain, which is already quiet, seems more silent because of this snow. Unfortunately, this silence is soon broken by Lin Feilu's loud shouts. She wrapped herself in her cloak, held her own wooden basin, and headed straight to the ski resort.

The palace ladies in the mountains knew that the princess was looking forward to skiing. After the snow had accumulated last night, they transported the snow from other places here to spread the layers. Therefore, the snow on this steep slope was much thicker. As soon as Lin Feilu slid to the bottom, the laughter drifted along the flying snow and far away.

She continued to play until noon, and she returned with constant interest. As soon as she entered the house, she saw the Empress Dowager sitting with Lin Ting and whispering something. Lin Ting was holding a letter in her hand, and both of them looked a little heavy.

The smile on Lin Feilu's face gradually faded away and she asked uneasily: "Grandmother, Grandmother, what happened?"

The queen mother looked up and smiled kindly: "Xiao Wu is back? Is it fun? Liuzhi, see if the princess's dress is wet."

Lin Feilu was so nervous: "What happened? Don't hide it from me."

Lin Ting smiled and shook his head: "It's not a big deal, why bother hiding it from you, just watch it yourself."

She hurried over and took the letter.

After seeing this, I realized what happened.

Emperor Lin finally used troops to the State of Song.

Just as Lin Ting analyzed before, instead of watching Song State gradually grow bigger, it is better to take the initiative to take advantage of the situation and take the initiative.

However, this use of troops is not a comprehensive dispatch of troops to fight, but just a small-scale test by Emperor Lin.

There has always been a "free zone" on the border between the two countries. This part of the territory does not belong to either Song and Lin. However, because of the vendors who communicate with the trade between the two countries, a commercial city that is no less than the size of the prefectures is formed. Although it is dangerous, it is also very prosperous.

With such a developed business, Taxation and Silver is naturally a considerable income.

But because it does not belong to all parties, there is no need to pay taxes. Such a virtuous cycle has led to the increasing prosperity of the business districts here.

Emperor Lin used his troops this time to include this "free zone" in the Dalin territory, so that he could tax it and fill the national treasury in the future.

According to the style of the Song emperor before, he might have given up this territory that did not belong to the Song State directly and would not compete with Dalin at all.

But Song Jinglan is not his father.

As soon as Dalin made an action, the army on the border of Song State directly pressed to the edge of Liberty City, which clearly wanted to compete with Dalin for ownership of this area.

The letter was sent half a month ago. According to time, the two armies should have had a confrontation now, but they just don’t know what the result is.

However, this test also made Emperor Lin understand the attitude of the new emperor of Song State.

After reading the letter, Lin Feilu felt very complicated for a moment. War was too far away for her. Whether it was her flower planting family before or her ancient career over the years, she never thought that one day the war would happen to her.

Fortunately, this time it was just a small-scale tentative confrontation, far from the point where the two countries were suffering from the suffering of life.

Just as Lin Ting said, it is not a big deal.

She sat down in front of the stove with some regret, "I don't know who won."

Lin Ting comforted him: "It's all we need to wait for the news."

Because of this, Lin Feilu couldn't even get any interest in skiing, and she sat on the necessary road up the mountain with Kong Kong every day, looking forward to waiting for someone to send a letter.

January later, two days before the New Year, the latest war report letter was finally delivered.

In order to compete for the ownership of Liberty City, Song and Lin fought several times, and finally tied. No one succeeded. They retreated to their own territory, and Liberty City saved its freedom.

This is the best result in Lin Feilu's opinion, and may be a good result for Song State.

But for Dalin, it was really bad news.

A draw for Dalin is equivalent to losing.

Because they failed to crush the weak country that they once despised.

The Song State, which was furious and sent a proton to him, the Song State, which was weak and weak when he heard that Emperor Lin was furious, and the Song State, which was not taken seriously as the object in his pocket.

Resisting Dalin's military use showed their strength different from the past.

Lin Feilu suddenly remembered what Concubine Xi taught her a lesson many years ago.

She said that the weakness of the Song State was caused by the current emperor's debauchery of political affairs. They once dominated the Central Plains. Emperor Gaozu of Dalin and the Song army were defeated in the Huaiye. Yong State tried to occupy the Huaiban, but was beheaded by the Song army 30,000 elite soldiers.

Those who have been wolves will not really become dogs.

Once this former overlord of the Central Plains is a ruthless king, it will revive the wolf's soul.

It's incredible that that person was a little beautiful person who ate popsicles with her in summer and roasted sweet potatoes together in winter.

Lin Feilu ran back with Kongkong in his arms and handed the letter to Lin Ting.

After seeing it, he sighed: "I'm afraid there will be no peace in the next few years."

The New Year of this year has arrived in such worries.

The empress dowager has been getting older over the years and is too lazy to go back and forth. She has not returned to the palace for the New Year for several years, and has been living on Mount Wutai in the past few years. She is also a lonely and widowed old man, accompanied by the palace servant, and she feels sad.

This time, two grandsons were finally accompanied by. The Empress Dowager was very happy and ordered the palace servants to go down the mountain to buy New Year's goods early, so that the two dear grandsons could feel the lively atmosphere and have a good New Year.

It was the first time Lin Feilu celebrated the New Year outside the palace, and even brought the Queen Mother to cut window flowers and paste couplets. In a pure Buddhist place, fireworks and firecrackers could not be set, but the palace ladies bought a lot of Qitian lanterns and came back. After the reunion dinner, Lin Feilu and Lin Ting helped the Queen Mother to go to the mountain gate to set Qitian lanterns.

Lin Feilu was a little worried that putting Qitian Lantern in the mountains would cause a forest fire, but it snowed heavily that night. The palace people tried it in advance. Qitian Lantern was extinguished by heavy snow, which relieved her worries.

The Empress Dowager also said: "Just just have a meaning, don't fly too high, as long as you are sincere, God will hear it."

The three of them each took a Qitian lantern, wrote their wishes on the paper, and then let them fly to the sky in the wind and snow.

The Qitian Lantern, which was floating in the snow, looked hazy and beautiful. Lin Feilu couldn't help but remember the Qitian Lantern on the top of the tower on the Qixi Festival night.

That day she was very close to the stars and very close to him.

The snow was poured down, the mountain wind was howling, and the Qitian lantern was blown to shake left and right, and it didn't fly high, and the fire gradually darkened and was about to go out.

Before it was completely extinguished, Lin Feilu quickly closed her eyes with her hands and made a pious wish.

Although this wish sounds pretentious, she even just joked and joked in the place where she once lived.

But at this moment, she still made a pious wish word by word: hope for peace in the world.

Even if it’s for the better life in the future, please don’t fight. Please let this peace last forever.

Lin Ting, beside him, held the Queen Mother's hand and said softly: "Grandma, you must be healthy all the time."

The Empress Dowager smiled, but there were tears in her eyes: "Of course, the Ai family still wants to watch you get married and have children."

Lin Feilu opened her eyes and saw that several Qitian lanterns finally went out and were blown to the valley by the wind.

After the Chinese New Year, Lin Feilu stayed on Mount Wutai for a few months. After all, the mountains were covered with heavy snow, and it was inconvenient to enter and exit. It was not until the snow turned in spring and the trees in the mountains had sprouted new buds. The two said goodbye to the empress dowager and set off for the palace.

Calculate the time, it has been almost a year since they left the palace to visit, and Lin Feilu still misses Xiao Lan and Lin Zhanyuan.

She was a little worried about Lin Ting's condition, and carefully observed the situation all the way back to Beijing, and found that he did not seem to be resistant to returning to Beijing. In fact, if possible, she hoped that he would not go back.

But as King of Qi, Lin Ting had his responsibilities even if he did not participate in the battle for the throne.
