The sky began to brighten, an old man and a young man stood on the hill outside the city, the old one was talking, with long sleeves fluttering and his hair flying, like an old fairy who came out of the picture scroll; And the little one was dressed in a white practice uniform, with slanted eyebrows and sideburns, but there was a smile on his face from time to time. The two of them had a conversation like this.

"As for who will come today, Lao Dao watched the stars on the night before, the star of Emperor Ziwei was dim, and the Sirius star in the northwest was bright, so the old man deduced that the king of Qin should inherit the throne! Because Sirius is also the main killer, it is the most slaughtered among the stars, and among the many sons of the saint, only the king of Qin has such an external appearance. Yuan Shoucheng moved out to watch the stars overnight, so it can be seen that Li Kuan must be fooled and lame, so that he can tell the formula of the pill.

Yuan Shoucheng is already eighty or ninety years old, although he has been like this all his life, but he is still a little unbearable in the face of a child who can be said to be a young child. But think about his nephew (actually his son) Yuan Tiangang's Taoist health preservation technique is in a critical period, and he needs a great tonic medicine to rush through the level, and the Taoist secret pill has been used up in his early years, and he is not ready yet. That's why he was thrilled to see Li Kuan's pills, an old Taoist priest with a very high status, and when he poured out the pills just now, he recognized that many of them were good products for replenishing qi and blood, which was exactly what he wanted, otherwise he would be embarrassed and run away with the medicine.

"These are all the old gentleman's night stargazing?" Li Kuan did admire it a little, but what he admired was the old Taoist's reasoning ability and flickering ability, not the skill of stargazing at night, from some clues that were exposed, Yuan Shoucheng, the old Taoist, actually deduced the fact that Li Yuan was critically ill, and Li Er was the most powerful contender for the throne. From this point of view, it was only learned by reading the history books in later generations, if he was really a native of this era, then he would also think like most people that the current saint is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he can still be the eighth woman at night, and he is an old man.

But Li Kuan knows a lot of inside information: Li Yuan's health has been getting worse day by day in the past two years, even when he is discussing in the court, he has to put the spittoon in front of the dragon chair, he will vomit from time to time, and the court will continue to shorten the time. His energy is not as good as before, and even Li Yuan has a private rumor of vomiting blood, but this Li Kuan learned from an eavesdrop on a conversation between Li Er and his wife. Since then, Li Kuan has felt that the entire Qin Palaces have entered a state of tension, and when Li Er left Beijing that time, he left a team of Xuanjia guards, stationed in one courtyard around the Qin Palace, and formed a pattern of competition with another courtyard, and in that courtyard, there was also a large group of people, who were just the guards of the Prince's East Palace. In the name of Xiu Mu, they were stationed there in rotation.

The expression on Li Kuan's face, Yuan Shoucheng has always looked at it, and the smile that has been holding back laughter at the beginning made Yuan Shoucheng frown slightly, this kid is actually laughing at him, is he not right? But later, the look on Li Kuan's face became formal, and in the end, there was even a look of admiration that flashed away, which made Yuan Shoucheng feel that he had fooled this kid, but this kid's city was extremely deep, and it was not too obvious.

"What's the matter, boy, isn't the old man's prediction from stargazing this night accurate?" Yuan Shoucheng's goatee was curled and very proud.

"It's not good! It's not clear at all, it's all ambiguous, I didn't say it, except for the last sentence that King Qin can ascend to the great treasure, the rest are just empty words. What purple microstar, what sky wolf or something, the kid doesn't know them, how do you know if what you said is right! However, the kid has an uncle, who studies the occult, that is, to guess what will happen in the future through the existing clues, which is similar to the old Taoist priest's night stargazing! "Li Kuan also began to flicker, do you think you are the only one who can do this? Can your intelligence and insight from a thousand years ago compare to my brain, which has been baptized by the information explosion? If I don't fool you today, the master will not be surnamed Li.

"What, you have a senior uncle who also has such skills?" Yuan Shoucheng was a little surprised, you must know that this kind of meticulous and meticulous exploration is the core figures of various schools, this kid actually knows such a person, and it seems that the relationship is very familiar, which shows that this kid has a high status in his school.

Yuan Shoucheng is also a smart person, but the smarter the person, the easier it is to fall into Li Kuan's trap, because what he says is simple, he will only listen to it as a joke. So he fell into it like the second eldest grandson of Li.

"What did your uncle say?" Yuan Shoucheng wanted to see who was higher and who was lower than the so-called uncle Li Kuan said and himself.

"My uncle said: In June of the ninth year, the real dragon came out of the water, the Xuanwu blood, and the Tang Dynasty will prosper." Li Kuan made up sixteen words and said them.

"The meaning of this sentence is straightforward, but this is too confident, even the time is so clear, if it doesn't happen, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?" Yuan Shoucheng will be suspicious, you must know that in their business, they pay attention to not talking full, otherwise if they are not allowed, they will smash the signboard. This has become a stereotype, just like: the father dies before the mother, and the three knots in Taoyuan, and another plum branch, which have formed a routine, are still circulating today. And it seems to be very similar to my own experience, which is how everyone has put their own experience into these words, not what the so-called fortune teller really said about your experience.

"It's already early May, and it's only been a month or two, so why don't you wait and see? If my uncle can't say it accurately, the old gentleman will also know the identity of the kid, and when the time comes, he will come to the door to ask for an explanation, the kid is willing to use this pill formula to make a color head! Li Kuan said confidently.

"Oh! Do you trust your uncle so much? Yuan Shou looked at Li Kuan sincerely: "And you can be the master of this pill formula?" ”

"Kid can naturally call the shots! Because the kid is not an ordinary person! Li Kuan said proudly: This is a winning gamble, how can you lose? Unless the history of the Tang Dynasty has been tampered with, the Xuanwumen Incident did not occur in June of the ninth year of Wude.

"Okay, Lao Dao made a bet with you, but Lao Dao can't take out something as precious as your formula to make a lottery!" Yuan Shoucheng said a little embarrassed.

"You don't have to worry about this, the kid won, if the kid's request is not too much, I hope the old gentleman can agree on behalf of the Taoist!" Li Kuan's eyes rolled and he didn't know what he was thinking, but Yuan Shoucheng didn't care about this, in his opinion, since this kid was a royal bloodline, if he didn't have anything, how could he covet his Taoist things.

"Alright! As long as the fundamental interests of my Taoism are not hindered, what if the old Taoist promises you! At this point, Yuan Shoucheng put the unsightly gambling contract between the two into practice, and also made Li Kuan have the opportunity to knock on the Taoist bamboo pole later, which made Yuan Shoucheng and Yuan Tiangang's uncle and nephew regret the gambling contract was established.

"The old gentleman is quick to talk, the boy admires!" Sycophants don't want money Li Kuan just slapped it twice, anyway, when the time comes, the Taoist must vomit some blood, the world is still too poor, the two families of Buddhism and Taoism occupy too many resources, compared to those big families, they are not afraid to let much, this is not good, the world is surnamed Li after all, so it is better to clean up some of these moths, although Li Kuan has no intention of taking the throne, but he also needs a strong empire to provide support for him behind him, but he wants to take the Tang Iron Horse to fight all the way to the edge of the sky.

"Huh...... It is not yet known who will win and who will lose, so don't cry when the time comes, little guy! Yuan Shoucheng didn't think it was a big deal, Taoism didn't have much to covet the royal family, he was very confident in this, but he almost cried his nose later, the Taoist industry was so huge that he was shocked, which he never expected, and even he never knew that there were so many private properties in the Taoist temples in the world, which made him think that the Taoist representative who was not afraid of the shadow was embarrassed.

The two made a gambling contract, and then went home separately, just keep this matter in their hearts, the identity of the two is the biggest guarantee, and they are not afraid that anyone will repay the debt.

Li Kuan jogged home, his body gradually recovered, his legs became stronger, the speed gradually became faster, the muscles on his legs provided strong strength to support his high-speed running, the previous pill combined with the extreme exercise method made his body absorb the medicinal power more thoroughly.

"Looks like I could come a few more times! It works pretty well! Li Kuan's mood was a little lighter, because although extreme exercise was very hurtful, he could still quickly improve his strength with the escort of medicine, and what he lacked now was time. Seeing that the Xuanwumen Incident was about to happen, his body was still not completely good, and if Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji sent people to attack the Qin Palace, I am afraid that they would not be able to escape, because not only Li Kuan was there, but also those people he cared about were there: the eldest grandson, Li Lizhen, and Li Nianwei, one of these three women gave him motherly warmth, one was his most painful sister, and the other was also his sister, and she was innocent and a little pistachio. This is something he can't let go, and if there is really any situation at that time, the more strength he has, the more certainty.

When he got home, he changed out of his practice clothes and put on the long shirt and brocade robe he wore on weekdays, Li Kuan returned to his lazy appearance, which was the form he used most often, leaning back on the recliner and pretending to look at a book, as for how much he looked in, only he knew how much he looked in.

The sun had risen, it was almost midday, and it was almost time for breakfast. Several little guys in the Qin Wangfu also began to eat three meals a day with Li Kuan, and the eldest grandson sometimes ate a little, but most of the time he sat on the side and watched the little guys grab food, especially the fat Li Tai, and Li Nianwei, who had just erupted in baby teeth, the two were the most cheerful, and they screamed happily every time they ate. It's just that Li Tai eats a lot, but Xiao Nianwei is mischievous.
