Chao's palace is busy at the moment, and people of all sizes are working hard for one person in the corridor, between the living room and the kitchen, not for other reasons, just to follow the holy decree, and warmly entertain the fortune teller Du Zhe who was named by the emperor himself.

In the living room, Du Zhe sat in front of a table full of food, drinking and eating meat, seeing that the maids serving around him were all young and beautiful, dressed according to their own instructions, exposing their thighs and fragrant shoulders, Du Zhe was happier the more he ate, and the more he drank, the more proud he became, and he couldn't help grinning when he thought of such a good reception arranged for him by the head of the imperial minister's Chao family.

"Lord Chao, I am really happy and satisfied with your meal. Makes you bothered. ”

So, glancing at Chao Yani, the head of the Chao family on the other side of the table, the more Du Zhe looked at it, the more he had a good impression, and the more he had a good impression, the more satisfied he was with the other party's hospitality, and he couldn't help but give the other party a free calculation.

"Master, that's all my Chao family can do to meet your requirements. As for other requirements, Shu Chao could not accept them. ”

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard Chao Yani's euphemistic refusal sounding in his ears, turned his head to look, and saw that the other party was holding his fists and bowing his head and posing to himself with a "please understand" look, Du Zhe's face changed suddenly, and he instantly threw the half-bitten chicken leg in his hand over, and reprimanded the superior to the subordinate angrily, hoping that the other party would change his mind.

"Master Chao, what do you mean by this? I know that what I, Du Zhe, value when I come to your house this time, not this meal, but another request. Do you want to deliberately play dumb with me?"

"Master Du, if yours is too unreasonable, Chao Mou really can't accept it. ”

"Lord Chao, I know that this request seems unreasonable to you, but Your Majesty has already promised me, and besides, the Holy Decree has been shown to you, do you intend to disobey the Holy Decree?"

"Master Du. Please don't make it difficult for you. Of course, Chao Mou did not dare to disobey the holy decree, but if you insisted on going your own way, Chao Mou could only be unkind to you. ”

However, after some patient persuasion, it was found that Chao Yani not only did not obediently act in accordance with the holy decree sent by the emperor, but also put pressure on himself in a threatening tone, the more Du Zhe looked at Chao Yani's face, the more he felt that he couldn't see through the other party, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the other party was not simple, and he had such courage, but after thinking about it, Du Zhe figured out that the other party was bluffing.

So, silently thinking about it in his heart, Du Zhe laughed proudly, and exposed Chao Yani's thoughts on the spot regardless of his face, so that the other party had no steps to go down, and had to listen to his own words obediently.

"Hahahaha! I heard you right? Chao Yani, you said you were going to be polite to me? I was a benefactor who helped His Majesty. Do you dare to be unkind to me? Those who disobey the holy decree will die a miserable death. As far as I know, the empire seems to have been stable for the past thirty years, but it was not the case thirty years ago. Do you want to be the first minister to be killed by His Majesty for disrespecting the decree?"

As soon as these words came out, I saw that Chao Yani was under his own threat, his old body trembled violently, the white hair on his forehead fluttered uncontrollably, and he became messy, and his expression instantly showed a trace of weakness after being seen through his thoughts, the more Du Zhe looked at it, the more proud he became, and the more proud he was, the less he felt that Chao Yani would have any out-of-the-ordinary actions.

"Master Du, please don't force me! My Chao family's subordinates will not take risks just because of one or two of your words. You also said that the Yang Qiu you want to kill is not so easy to deal with. In other words, the people I sent out were probably sent to death.

All the descendants of my Chao family were personally cultivated by my Chao Yani, and I watched them grow up since I was a child, although they are not parents, but they are better than parents. Would you let your children die for the sake of outsiders who have nothing to do with you?"

However, suddenly hearing a roar of Chao Yani in his ears, Du Zhe turned his head to look.

I saw Chao Yani's face sank, and in an instant, the old body seemed to be young, and a terrifying cultivation erupted, Chao Yani's body moved in front of him, and the old hand pinched his throat lightly, making his throat hurt and almost unable to breathe, Du Zhe looked at Chao Yani's eyes at this time were filled with monstrous killing intent, and then realized that something was wrong.

So, Du Zhe quickly restrained his attitude just now. At the same time, in order to save his life first, Du Zhe raised his hands and apologized to Chao Yani with a fist and a nod, just begging the other party to calm down, instead of impulsively killing himself, if this is the case, it will be worth the loss.

"Lord Chao, what are you doing here? I ...... I'm not going to force you. Really, as long as you don't want to, I will never force you. Let me go first, okay?"

"Really?"

"Really. It can't be fake. I, Du Zhe, never lie when I speak. Please believe me, you see, I came here today to drink wine and eat meat, but you treat me like this, it's not good? Everything is easy to discuss, you must not be impulsive. ”

"Huh! old liar. Don't think I'm going to be fooled. When I let go of my hand, you will use the holy decree to suppress me again, right? Du Zhe, what I hate most in my life is people like you who rely on fortune-telling to cheat money. People like you deserve to die! Even if you deceive ordinary people, you dare to deceive Your Majesty's head, if the imperial concubine hadn't woken up by luck today, I would have killed you first!"

"Lord Chao, I was wrong, I was wrong, can't I do it? At most, I'll change my career in the future, right?"

"Change careers, you want to lie to me again, right? Du Zhe ......"

However, he found that he couldn't persuade Chao Yani with words alone, and the more he talked to Chao Yani, the more his throat hurt, his throat was tightly pinched by Chao Yani's old hand, breathing became more and more difficult, and his face became more and more red, the more Du Zhe thought about it, the more scared he became, the more anxious he became, for fear that he would really die here, and he was so angry that he wanted to curse Chao Yani to death.

However, realizing that he was now choked by the other party and couldn't resist at all, Du Zhe sighed depressedly again, and had to rack his brains to think of other ways. After a short silence, he found that the reason why Chao Yani refused to let go was because of the holy decree sent by the emperor, Du Zhe finally thought of a way, his eyes lit up, and he smiled at Chao Yani.

"Lord Chao. Please calm down, calm down! You bring the decree, and I'll burn it in front of you, so you can always let me go, right? There are so many people here who can testify that I burned it, and you don't have to carry the black cauldron, right?"

As soon as these words came out, I saw Chao Yani turn his head and give a look to a subordinate, who nodded respectfully, and immediately left the living room without hesitation and went to another room, after taking a yellow scroll and candle in, Chao Yani took the holy decree and instantly stuffed the lit candle into his hand, Du Zhe didn't say a word, and lit the holy decree with a gritted tooth.

Then, seeing the holy decree burning endlessly, it burned clean in an instant, Chao Yani finally let go of his hand, Du Zhe felt that his breathing was finally not so difficult, and immediately took three long breaths, feeling that there was only a slight pain in his throat and his life was no longer in danger, and finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as soon as he thought of the anger he had suffered on Chao Yani just now, Du Zhe felt that he should not forgive the other party, so on the surface, he continued to nod and clench his fists to Chao Yani and thanked Chao Yani's subordinates for their mercy, but he was already moved to kill in his heart, and pretended to eat a few pieces of meat and drank a mouthful of soup before making up an excuse, planning to leave, and then go to the emperor to tell Chao Yani a good copy.

"Lord Chao, I'm full. Thank you for your hospitality, then I take my leave. ”

"Wait, Master Du, you can't go!"

"Can't you leave? Master Chao, do you have anything else? I can't eat anymore. ”

"Master Du. If you want to live, leave me, and if you want to die, then go ahead. ”

"Lord Chao, are you joking? I'll still tell ......."

"Master Du, don't embarrass me, okay? Do you think I'll let you go if you burn the holy decree? What if you go to your majesty to complain? I don't want your majesty to hear any false accusations that make me embarrassed. ”

However, after taking two steps, he suddenly heard Chao Yani's retention behind him, Du Zhe heard that the other party actually saw through his thoughts, and he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, his legs trembled, in order to save his life, he turned around, and immediately patiently explained, smiling and clenching his fists at Chao Yani, hoping that the other party would not misunderstand.

However, Du Zhe found that the more he explained, the more ugly Chao Yani's face became, and the more he explained, the greater the pressure on his body, Chao Yani seemed to release the monk's exclusive coercion to force himself, and even a killing intent appeared in his eyes, Du Zhe understood that it was useless to continue to pretend to be stupid, and his angry body trembled and wanted to kill the other party, but when he thought of the difference in strength between the two sides, he dispelled his thoughts.

"That's right, Master Du, you ...... obediently"

At this time, after seeing that he was not leaving, Chao Yani finally opened his mouth to himself and showed a smug smile, the more Du Zhe looked at it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, the more difficult it was to accept the fact that he was threatened by Chao Yani, thinking that even the emperor of the empire had to respect him so much, but a minister wanted to put himself under house arrest, Du Zhe thought hard and looked for a way to get out.

A moment later, Du Zhe's fingers pinched silently a few times, secretly calculated Chao Yani's past, and found that the reason why Chao Yani hated fortune tellers so much was because a fortune teller named Wu Chenjun killed the other party's son in the past, so he suddenly realized and nodded.

Then, Du Zhe continued to calculate, and found that Chao Yani's most worried thing at the moment was her daughter Chao Yan, Chao Yani was not knowing when Chao Yan would go home, and after tossing and turning her thoughts and staying awake all night, Du Zhe's mind moved, and she suddenly had an idea, grinned, and said what Chao Yani cared about the most without any scruples, and tried her best to improve the relationship between the other party and herself.

"Lord Chao. I know you hate people like me who make a living as a fortune teller. However, I am not the same as those who deceive you. I'm a real learner, and I've just calculated your past a little bit, and you're curious to know when your daughter will come home, right? If you can let me go, I'll help you figure it out. What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, I saw that Chao Yani had a murderous face, and his face was gloomy and scary, but after his question landed, his body trembled instantly, and a rare excitement flashed in his eyes, and then, after Chao Yani took a step towards himself, he clenched his hands tightly, revealing a deep look of anticipation, and the old eyes looked at himself without blinking, and Du Zhe immediately smiled proudly.
