The sun is rising, and the red glow is dazzling! It is shrouded in the misty wilderness, thousands of golden threads through the leafy jungle, shooting on the clusters of green and crowded grass blades, countless crystal clear dew drops like elves awakened in a morning dream, they blink bright eyes, adding a bit of playfulness and vitality to the early summer morning!

Suddenly, "Poof, poof!" The sound broke the silence of the early morning, and in the nearby woods, frightened birds, flapping their wings, rushed out of the forest!

In the distance, a large banner suddenly appeared on the horizon, as if a blood-stained flag was embroidered with a descending tiger, fierce and mighty!

The morning breeze blew away the mist, and behind the banner was followed by a neat and well-organized army, winding and walking, stretching for miles, a huge army, without the slightest noise! The only sound was the footsteps of soldiers walking and the clatter of mules and horses' hard hooves hitting the ground.

Standing on a high slope in the wilderness, I raised my eyes and gazed into the rising red sun, and I sighed in my heart: If my new force wants to shine as the morning sun in this summer, I don't know how much haze I need to dispel? How much wind and rain do you have to go through?

The more than 2,000-mile Donglai raid has been going on for several days. In Suiyang, Liang Guo has been left far behind, and now he has entered the boundary of Yanzhou.

"Report!" There was a neighing sound of the horse, and a mountain-like burly and majestic man pulled the horse's head, jumped off the horse and raised his hand to salute, and shouted loudly: "Report to the head of the regiment, more than 20 miles ahead is Shanyang Changyi, please instruct!" ”

A set of military salutes for the children of later generations is well done.

I laughed secretly in my heart, Xu Da is really a natural soldier, after joining our army like a fish in water, and he has a soft spot for the new military salute during the day.

I saluted back and reproached with a smile: "Zhongkang, you are the commander of the forward battalion, just let the herald come over next time." Then he put away his smile and ordered: "You lead the striker around the city, you don't need to stop!" ”

Xu Chu smiled and took the order, and beat the horse away.

Hearing Xu Chu mention Changyi, my heart moved, and a historical celebrity seemed to come from here. This person's surname is full of favorites, the word Boning, and he is a famous general of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. History has a high evaluation of him, saying that he is "determined to be resolute, brave and strategic." "What I'm lacking most now is talent! What's more, his ability to govern is also good, and he can be called a man of literature and martial arts. This kind of talent is hard to find even with a lantern for me today! Once you pass through this place, you have to try your luck.

Ordered people to recruit Mi Hua, Cao Xing and others to explain the matters. After the arrangement was made, I hand-cranked a folding fan of the literati of later generations of the cottage, turned into a fluttering scholar, and Dian Wei and more than 50 horsemen dressed as soldiers would go straight to Changyi.

After several visits, I know that this full pet is now less than 20, but he is a daring cow! At the age of eighteen, he served as the superintendent of the county, and a year later he was in charge of the party and was promoted to the commander of Gaoping County. Soon, Zhang Bao, the superintendent of the post, acted as a tiger, embezzled and accepted bribes, and pacified the chaos. Full Favor arrested and tortured him, which Zhang Bao was a wreck, and before he was punished, he died of fright, so Man Pet abandoned the official and returned to his hometown. A group of people visited the Manjia compound, and his family told him not without apologies that he had been visiting friends for more than a month, and had not returned home for a long time, so I had to leave gifts and full of regrets, and returned empty-handed.

The group straddled out of the city and marched unhurriedly in the direction of the large army.

There is a market town more than 20 miles northeast of Changyi, which is called Shilipu. Although it is only a market town, there is only one street running east-west, but it is also very lively, with stalls crowded on both sides of the street, and the road is bustling with pedestrians, and the hustle and bustle is not disturbed by the war! On the south side of the middle of the street, an alley meets the street, forming a T-shaped intersection.

At the corner of the T-shaped intersection, there is a fortune-telling booth, and a white cloth banner hangs on the bamboo pole against the wall, on which four big characters are written in neat official letters: Iron Mouth Divine Appearance. The couplet on the left reads: 500 years of knowledge and 600 years of dawn; The right link wrote: Zhongtong has joys and sorrows in the world.

A white-clothed physiognomist sits cross-legged on a futon, his robe is spotless! There is a faint dust on the ruddy face! He closed his eyes slightly, and the three strands of beard under his chin floated in the wind, with a masterful demeanor in the palm of his hand! To his left stood a boy, thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a floor-sweeping gray robe, with a bun tied on his head, dressed like a little Taoist priest. His eyes were rolling, and he peeked at the physiognomy from time to time, but he didn't dare to step away, with an unbearable and anxious expression.

A rush of footsteps sounded, and the phase master suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of imperceptible thief laughter flashed.

He pulled the boy beside him, shook the cloth robe, and said with a smile: "Business will come to the door soon, good man!" Let's see if you are dressed up as a teacher? ”

The boy looked up and down, left and right, and praised: "Master, people who don't know your details will definitely think that you are a high-ranking person!" ”

The phase master glared at the apprentice and argued in a low voice: "Little ghost, the master is already a master." ”

At this moment, the fortune-telling stall was passing by a middle-aged fat man in a silk robe holding a mule and a horse, and the man's fat face was frowning, and his face was cloudy.

"This old man walks slowly, I see that you have a bad breath on your head, and bad luck will follow, there will be a big disaster in the near future!" The phase master jumped up, more agile than most young people, jumped to the side of the person who came, and grabbed the sleeve of the middle-aged man in silk clothes.

The middle-aged man slowed down, shook off the hand of the physiognomy master, and looked back impatiently: "Fortune teller, don't get in the way, I have something urgent!" ”

Xiang Shi looked left and right, and when he saw that there were no idle people and others, he lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Brother Chen, can you worry about your son's affairs?" ”

The round-faced man was taken aback, stopped, interrupted the physiognomy master's words, and asked; "Have you and I ever met?"

The phase master shook his head, smiled faintly and incomprehensibly, and did not answer. He looked at the middle-aged man's face, his face was straight, and he slowly said in a deep tone: "Brother Chen's Yintang is black, his eyebrows are dull, his face is blue and his lips are black, and he is full of evil spirits, bad omen, bad omen!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the fat man's round face again, shook his head again, and muttered to himself: "No, how can it be so ......?"

The fat man surnamed Chen was frightened by the phase master, and he asked half-convinced: "Master, what's wrong with me?" ”

The white-robed Xiangshi leaned over his face, stared at the middle-aged man surnamed Chen with a solemn gaze, and after a while, he shouted in shock: "Impossible! No way! He stumbled, took a few steps back, put away the flag, pulled up the boy beside him, and turned away.

At this time, the party surnamed Chen was very frightened. Why did this scholar flee in a hurry, could it be that this catastrophe really couldn't be avoided?

It turned out that the fat man's surname was Chen Mingcang, and his family was very wealthy, and he opened a rice shop with a large scale in the town. He has only one son, who is a scoundrel by nature, but the whole family is very precious. A few days ago, his precious son and people were jealous of a woman in the dust, and they fought hard, and they were so beaten that they only had half a life left, and they let out cruel words, so that the Chen family would take out a lot of money to avoid disasters in three days, if not, destroy your whole family! As soon as Chen Cang inquired, the other party turned out to be the little leader of the Yellow Turban Thief, who can afford to provoke this group of thieves! Suddenly, the six gods had no owner, and in desperation, Chen Cang rode a mule and horse to prepare to report to Changyi.

At present, the phase master fled in shock, Chen Cang beat a drum in his heart, and hurriedly chased after him. Holding a cloth banner and a grass futon under his armpit, the master also pulled a child, walked very slowly, and caught up with him in less than a few breaths. Chen Cang stepped forward and saluted: "There are many offenses, please forgive the master!" If I have any misfortune, I hope that the master will tell me clearly, and I will be rewarded!

The phase master was blocked in the way, unable to advance or retreat, with a panicked face, and said insincerely: "I have low ability, please find another master and lose company." After finishing speaking, he wanted to slip away.

Letting yourself find a master again is nothing more than a prevarication, obviously unwilling to take over, Chen Cang is afraid. It must be very tricky to be more suspicious of his own problems, otherwise, this master would not be like a plague god to himself!

He hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of the phase master, and begged bitterly with a crying voice: "Immortal Master, it's okay, I will thank you again!" ”

The immortal master was silent, sighed heavily, and after a while, he replied helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that you have too many bad omen, and there is a great disaster of destroying the family and destroying the clan, if I leak the secret of heaven, I will be punished by heaven!" ”

When Chen Cang heard this, Ruo Wu Thunder fell to his knees and cried: "Immortal Master, save my Chen family!" ”

……

In less than a meal, 500 yuan was in the pocket, and the phase master was still calm and calm, sitting on the ground calmly. The little boy beside him couldn't help but have a happy face, and he whispered to the pretending master of the picture: "Master, you are too powerful!" The fat man cried and shouted to give you so much money that he couldn't get rid of it... Still, let's get on the slip away! ”

"Smack!" The phase master slapped the apprentice on the head and scolded with a smile: "You little fool, be calm in case of trouble!" Isn't it obvious that you are in such a hurry to tell others that you are cheating people of money? If you want to run, you have to leave quietly at night, you know? ”

The apprentice nodded, and was puzzled: "Master, the fat man is asking you to help him solve the disaster, why do you repeatedly refuse, I am going to die in a hurry, for fear that the fat sheep in my mouth will run away again!" ”

The phase master smiled: "Stinky boy! You don't understand this, this is called wanting to catch the old man, hehe, how can the cooked duck master let it fly! ”

"Master, I adore you so much!" The young man's mouth was full of compliments, and his admiring gaze almost turned into a pair of cross-eyed, and then he asked, "I don't understand, Master, how did you know that his surname was Chen?" ”

"Little fool, this person is from the south, there is only one Chen Jiazhuang within a radius of more than ten miles to the south, what is his surname Chen?" Master gave him another slap on the back of the head.

The apprentice rubbed his head, but felt that this reason was not very reliable, and asked the master, "What if he is just looking for relatives and friends?" ”

When the master heard that the apprentice questioned his authority, he coughed dissatisfiedly, waved his hand and slapped the boy on the back of the head, and scolded: "Little rabbit! Master usually tells you to observe more, but you have forgotten to go out of the clouds! The man's money bag clearly has two big characters written on it, 'Chen Ji', you haven't even seen this? ”

The boy did not dare to defend himself, and asked, "How do you know that his son-in-law will be in trouble?" ”

The master didn't answer, how could he teach you all the skills of this clever ghost, wouldn't the apprentice of the church starve to death the master. In fact, when the fat man Chen Cang first entered the market town, someone greeted him: "Shopkeeper Chen, is your son-in-law better?" "Although it is far away, how can it escape the natural pair of tailwind ears of the master of the universe! He hated that iron does not make steel, and taught his apprentices: "Disciples, listen more, watch more, and think more about everything!" In the future, I can carry forward the skills of being a teacher. ”

At this moment, I am sitting in the teahouse opposite, and this farce is like a classic sketch of later generations, which is being staged under my nose! The main character of the sketch is a natural actor, and his superb performance made me breathe and laugh! If it is moved to the Spring Festival Gala in the future, it will definitely become an instant hit! Coincidentally, this fortune teller is still Dian Wei's old man, and it was he who fooled Dian Wei to go up the mountain to find the noble person who hit me. I heard that there were such strange and rare things, and I was very curious. Dian Wei told me the original story of his encounter with the physiognomy. I laughed, "Second brother, you have been fooled, you see where he is blind!" ”

Dian Wei woke up and immediately rushed over to smash the field.

"Don't worry, there's still a lot to come!" I grabbed Dian Wei and calmed him down.

So a wonderful trick of tricks began to be played opposite us......

After all, the old liar has a deep foundation, and it doesn't take much effort to make Chen Fatzi willing to send hundreds of filial piety. I told everyone to wait upstairs first, so Shi Shiran went downstairs and came to the master, I took out a piece of gold, put it in front of him, and said: "Master, you pinch your fingers and calculate, will Fat Chen come back to you to settle accounts?" That's right, there are prizes! I pointed to the nuggets.

"Oops! The smashing field is coming! The master of the phase was stunned, and he wanted to get money from his sleeve, and he had the intention to divide two or three hundred yuan to eliminate wealth and avoid disasters, but he immediately vetoed it.

The apprentices around him saw that the situation was not good, so they ran into the alley. Who knows, before he slipped out a few steps, he was caught, and he threw it back, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Seeing this posture, the master was anxious, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape this disaster today!" His heart was uneasy, but his face was forced to composure, and he pushed the gold nugget back with both hands. Gritted his teeth and replied, "Gold, please take it back." ”

"Why?" I was a little surprised.

"Without him, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed!"

Damn, that's amazing!

Originally, I just had to send someone to recover Chen Fatzi, and no matter how he answered, it would be wrong! But I didn't expect him to pretend to be deaf and dumb and not accept it at all! And the act of pushing back the gold is actually hinting to me: 'I've lost, do well, let me go!' 'Interesting! This fortune teller is getting more and more interesting!

But there is no such cheap thing in the world!

I snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in my eyes, and I smiled at the fortune teller: "Since Uncle Ben's money has been spilled, there is no habit of taking it back." Come! Show me the face, guess my identity, and the money belongs to you; It's not right, the money is still for you, but ......"

I dragged out my words, locking on to the old cunning head with the eyes of a dead man.

The old liar was forced to have no way out, he looked at the apprentice who was so frightened that he was trembling in the corner, and he cried bitterly in his heart: "This person is pressing step by step, and he obviously doesn't leave any way to live for himself!" ”

The old guy was out of proportion, and he was stared at by my fierce eyes, and he was snorted a few times in a row, where is there any bit of sanctimony before!

"Don't be abrasive, hurry up, if the calculation is not right, hehe--" In the middle of speaking, my right palm suddenly turned into an eagle's claw, grabbed his eyes, and said coldly: "I heard that you like to play blind, then let you be blind!" ”

When the master heard the word "blind", he reflexively rolled his eyes, and immediately became blind! My solemn cold face is almost unbearable! The old god suddenly realized that something was wrong, and suddenly heard that he was going to make him blind, and his face suddenly turned pale, and he knew that retribution had finally come!

His snot and tears immediately gushed out, and he fell to the ground suddenly, begging me for mercy in misery: "My lord, spare my life, the villain will never dare again!" ”

I paced back and forth, and the eyes of the unfortunate bastard on the ground moved like a pendulum with my footsteps, pitiful and disgusting!

Seeing that the old thing was almost bluffed, I stopped and replied slowly, "It is not impossible to spare your life, unless you find a reason to convince me!" ”

"What good reason did you think of in a hurry?" The old god secretly complained, so anxious that he was in a cold sweat!

At this moment, more than a dozen people poured out of the teahouse across the street, all of them burly and imposing, and they came here!

"You're a general! It's the general who passed by the local army in the morning! At the critical moment, the old liar lying on the ground suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he was in a hurry, he couldn't hold back his crying and shouted hysterically!

"This old thing is still a little capable! When they saw my guards coming, they guessed my identity, yes, yes! "I was secretly stunned, I just wanted to scare him, and let him get out of my anger for Dian Wei! I don't know that he still has a little ability, and he can't let it go if he is a talent. It doesn't matter if he's big or small, it's all vegetables when he throws it into the basket!

"Good! Since you have guessed my identity, General Ben will spare your life. However, although the death penalty is avoided, the living sin cannot be escaped! From now on, you will follow the general and make meritorious contributions! "Leaving him master and apprentice, I laughed secretly, full of favor This cow man didn't touch it, and the shrimp fished out one. However, this shrimp will also be useful in the future.

The master and apprentice were only making promises, and a loud roar came from behind more than ten big men.

"What a blind old horseman, do you still know Dian Wei?!" Dian Wei strode in front of everyone, and the dragon and tiger ran to the side of the master. The old boy shivered and crawled behind me.

"Hahaha!" Dian Wei and I laughed at the same time.

The frightened old man is surnamed Huang, and he is called "Huang Banxian"!
