Chapter 323: Slaying the Wolf (Part II)
Because Lin'an City really needs manpower now, Hu Guang and Yang Zhi are not by Ye Chen's side now, and he can only go to the mansion to get things in person. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The place where Ye Chen lives is the most prosperous area of Lin'an City, but the street where he is located is heavily guarded and no one is allowed to enter.
Ye Chen could only go out to find the carriage, but as soon as he walked to the carriage, he saw a fortune-telling stall next to him.
In the middle of the stall sat an old man, with a childish face, a white beard, wearing a Taoist robe, like a person in the Taoist temple, looking at Ye Chen with a smile on his face.
The old man saw that Ye Chen had found him, and said with a smile: "This little brother, do you want to calculate a hexagram, you are not allowed to ask for money." ”
"You're a Taoist?" Ye Chen asked, and began to carefully look at the old man in front of him.
"Sort of, I saw that my little brother was destined for me today, so I came here to wait." The old man replied with a smile on his face.
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard the old man's confirmed voice, as far as he knew, there was no Taoism in the Water Moon Continent, there were gods and ghosts, but there was no information about Taoism.
And there is no Taoism, and naturally there is no Taoist priest, and now there is a living Taoist priest standing in front of him, and he said that he was waiting for him.
"Do you know what a Taoist priest is, you actually said that you are a Taoist priest, could it be that you are also a person sent by Fang Guoqiang." Ye Chen's eyes looked at the old man in front of him sharply, wanting to see him through.
The old man shook his head and said, "Ye Gongzi said that I am not familiar with that kind of big man, and I only came here today because of the orders of the hall master." ”
"Hall Master, you are a member of the Yin and Yang Palace, do you have any evidence?" Ye Chen wondered, not completely believing the old man in front of him.
From the first time he saw the old man to the present, the old man had been smiling, whether it was his mention of the word Taoist priest or Fang Guoqiang, it didn't make him have any fluctuations.
"Nope." The old man replied with a smile.
"Then I'm sorry, I still have something to do, take my leave." Ye Chen turned around and said.
Now that he is a person from the Yin Yang Palace, he has been known by the entire Qi country, and it is not unusual for someone to come and pretend to be, Ye Chen is not even bothered to bother with this group of people.
"Why is Ye Gongzi in such a hurry, don't you want to know about the Big Dipper?" The old man asked after Ye Chen turned around, his expression was the same.
"Who the hell are you, and how do you know this?" Ye Chen immediately turned around and asked, the killing intent in his eyes skyrocketed.
He asked himself that since he came here, only last night he mentioned about the Big Dipper, and he was sure that there was no one around him at that time, and Hongjiao and Zhang Qian were fine in the morning, so naturally they couldn't say it.
But now all this has been told by an old man of unknown origin, how can he not be frightened.
The old man saw Ye Chen walking towards him, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Didn't I say it, it was really the hall master who sent me over, saying that I would come and calculate a hexagram for you." ”
The old man looked at Ye Chen and still stared at him with a hostile gaze, and said: "Ye Gongzi, don't worry, I'm really just an old man who is dying, just a little more than others know, and I not only know the Big Dipper, I also know the Ziwei Emperor Star, and more importantly, I just found out that we are from the same place, it's just that I came earlier." ”
Ye Chen was speechless now, originally he was still wondering if the old man had overheard his conversation with the two little girls last night, but when he heard Ziwei Emperor Star, he knew that all this was impossible.
And what shocked him the most was the last sentence, saying that they were from the same place.
"Dare to ask the old gentleman, why do you know Ziwei Emperor Xing, just now you said that we are from the same place, are you also from Hexian County, Shangyuan Prefecture?" Ye Chen saluted and asked.
"Since Ye Gongzi has already guessed in his heart, why do you want to test the old man and me here, it's just that there are many people here, why don't Ye Gongzi find a secluded place and chat with me, an old man." The old man replied, not answering Ye Chen's question.
Only then did Ye Chen notice that there were more and more people on the surrounding streets, all of whom were watching curiously from the side.
"What the old gentleman said is, please come with me." Ye Chen stretched out his hand and asked.
The old man was not polite, and walked directly in front, ignoring the fortune-telling stall he had placed there.
The guards next to him just wanted to stop it, but when they saw Ye Chen waving his hand, they all began to let him go.
Ye Chen glanced at the old man's fortune-telling stall and said to the guard next to him, "You help watch that stall, don't let people pass." ”
"Yes, Prefect." The guard replied hurriedly.
They were all Zhongli's subordinates, and they had witnessed Ye Chen's figure that night, so now they all volunteered to be Ye Chen's guards.
Now that Ye Chen can let him do things in person, it naturally makes him excited, and his eyes are firmly fixed on the fortune-telling stall not far away.
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he glanced back and found that the old man had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly ran over, wanting to see where this old man was entangled and knew so many things.
As soon as Ye Chen walked to the door, he heard Zhang Qian asking, "Grandpa, are you my brother's friend?" ”
"No, no, no, I'm your brother's master, what a lovely girl, it's a pity that my grandson isn't here, otherwise I will definitely introduce you to you." The old man looked at Zhang Qian and replied.
Snort.
A crack appeared on the old man's clothes, a soft sword was also on his neck, and the red makeup said coldly: "Qian'er is my brother's woman, even if you are my brother's master, you are not allowed to talk nonsense." ”
"Red makeup, put down the sword, this is an old friend of mine, let's catch up, you go back to the house first." Ye Chen stepped forward and patted Hongjiao's shoulder, motioning for her and Zhang Qian to go back to the house.
In fact, Ye Chen was not happy with what the old man said, but he really couldn't see through the depth of the old man, and was worried that Hongjiao and Zhang Qian would be hurt, so he walked over and didn't get angry immediately.
And when the old man talked about his grandson just now, the emotions in his eyes didn't seem to mean anything else, but were full of longing.
"Brother." Zhang Qian also ran over at this time and tightened Ye Chen's clothes, worried that Ye Chen would not want her.
"Okay, Qian'er, what my brother promised you won't change, you have to believe my brother, now that my brother has something, you and Hongmakeup will go back to the house first." Ye Chen hugged Zhang Qian and comforted.
"Well, Qian'er believes in her brother." Zhang Qian nodded, then walked to the side of Red Makeup and said, "Sister Red Makeup, let's go back." ”
"Hmph." Red Makeup snorted coldly, withdrew the soft sword, and then left the courtyard with Zhang Qian. After Ye Chen waited for only him and the old man to be left in the courtyard, he also said in an unkind tone: "Old man, I respect you as an elder, and I hope you don't joke, otherwise, I will be the one who will do it next time."
