Because of the suddenness of the incident, Yi Xingchen couldn't think of how to answer this question at all. If he answered truthfully and told the events of that night, then I was afraid that Governor Li would say that since you knew earlier, why didn't you warn me earlier? It is not good to cause so many of my men to die miserably, and I am afraid that I will be very angry. If you make up other lies, it will be difficult to make them up in a short time, and once Governor Li sees through them, then the honesty that he had in his impression will immediately disappear, and it is not a good thing to anger a governor. I'm afraid that this life-saving work will be greatly discounted or even washed away.

So, Yi Xingchen decided to explain whether it was true or false, anyway, he had calculated the hexagram before, and he guarded Governor Li, and the result was lucky.

Yi Xingchen lowered his voice and said, "Don't hide it, Lord Governor, I calculated the situation just now through hexagrams. ”

Governor Li was stunned for a moment: "Through the fortune telling?" ”

"Yes, before joining Jinyiwei, he set up a stall on the street to tell fortunes, and followed my master. My master's name is Gongsun He, and I have been telling fortunes in Tunzhou for decades, and I am his apprentice. ”

"I see, how do you calculate?"

Yi Xingchen said: "Just now, when I was passing by in front of the houses, I saw a bird's nest under the eaves, and a snake crawled into the swallow's nest and ate the seeds inside. Scared so much that the two big swallows didn't dare to go back to the nest, I thought this vision was not good, so even if I counted a hexagram, the swallow and the snake were attributed to the Zhenmu hexagram, so I got a Zhenwei thunder hexagram. Add the present number of hours and divide by six, and the remainder is exactly zero. So move the line to take the six. And one of the proverbs in the Book of Changes is called Zhengji, so. I think it's going to be dangerous if I go any further, but I'm not sure. Just past that house. Then I saw a towering tree on the side of the road, and the tree was very big, and then I immediately thought that the upper and lower hexagrams that shook the thunder hexagram were all earthquake wood hexagrams, didn't they represent the big tree? Does the addition of two shaking wood hexagrams together represent a towering tree? It means that the real culprit is from this towering tree, and I can't see if there is an assassin hidden in it when I see that the branches of the big tree are so leafy, I would rather believe it than believe it, and it is my responsibility to protect the safety of adults. If you guess wrong, it's a big deal to be ridiculed by adults, but it doesn't hurt. That's why I took a shield to block it, but I didn't expect it to be right. Huh"

Yi Xingchen smiled triumphantly.

Governor Li was stunned for a moment and said: "The upper and lower hexagrams are both shocking wood hexagrams, plus the hour, do you think that the moving hexagram is in the sixth hexagram, right?" ”

Yi Xingchen said: "Yes, isn't it? ”

Governor Li smiled bitterly and shook his head. said: "What a fluke, little brother, your hexagram is actually wrong." Because the Zhenmu hexagram represents four. The two fours add up to eight, and the present hour is noon, and the ordinal number is seven. The three numbers add up to fifteen, fifteen divided by six. The remainder is three, so the dynamic should be in the third. The third verse of the Book of Changes reads: 'Zhen Su Su. Shock, no eyes'. It means that the thunder shakes and makes people frightened, and that there is no calamity in the thunder. ”

Yi Xingchen suddenly said in panic: "It turns out that adults also know how to count plum blossoms, I miscalculated just now, it's really embarrassing, how did I calculate it?" How can you calculate that the remainder is six? The remainder should be three, my lord is right, I, I'm embarrassed to go home." After that, Yi Xingchen was terrified again, and his face was flushed and he looked very ashamed.

Governor Li laughed: "Fortunately, you miscalculated, if you calculate correctly, the third line's words are not dangerous for us to continue to move forward, then we are really going to be unlucky." You and I are afraid that we will die in this catastrophe, fortunately, you just miscalculated, and the crooked fight just happened to calculate that the upper six yao is moving, this line prompts the murderer, you think it is a bad omen, so you are alert and avoid this catastrophe. This is called the providence of the underworld. ”

In fact, the three-dimensional hexagram in Yi Xingchen's mind was flashing, suggesting that he should think from the sixth hexagram, so he came to the conclusion of the murderer. In fact, after adding the hour, what you get is actually the third line, just like Li Xuehao said just now. Yi Xingchen deliberately used the wrong algorithm to deliberately show that he had miscalculated, in fact, he just wanted Governor Li to think that he was just hitting the blind cat and hitting the dead mouse, and he didn't want the other party to know his true fortune-telling skills.

Therefore, Yi Xingchen said with a panicked face: "So that's the case, I, I'm still not good at learning, I'm ashamed and ashamed, but fortunately, Lord Li was blessed by God, and he escaped this catastrophe when he was killed." ”

Governor Li said: "It's not that I have been protected by God, it's that you are deeply blessed, and you are a blessed general, didn't I just say it earlier?" It's just that you're by my side, I'm blessed, you can save my life if you miscalculate the hexagram, it can be seen that your blessing has also contaminated me, I was only slightly injured, but I got a life back, thanks to your blessing, hahaha,"

Yi Xingchen's face was full of panic and said that he didn't dare, he only said that he was a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and the more Yi Xingchen said this, the more trustworthy Governor Li felt that he was.

The guards who went to hunt down Yan Bu returned in vain, because the guards around Governor Li were all killed by the wind and the fallen leaves, and the guards with one head and one tail were average, and the light skills were not as good as Yan Bu Return, and there was no way to let him run away, so he had to come back disgraced.

Governor Li did not reprimand these guards, just because he had more important things to do, and with this matter in his head, he ordered to camp on the spot and collect the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle.

Governor Li did not enter the town and was stationed in the field, and all the people who accompanied him were very surprised, but Governor Li had led troops to recruit and suppress the White Lotus Sect before, and he had done a lot of such things, so these pro-soldiers and guards were not surprised, so they set up camp and buried the pot to make food.

After the Chinese military tent was set up, Governor Li called Yi Xingchen to the tent to invite him to eat and drink, and did not arrange for local officials and other people to accompany him, just the two of them in the big tent. Yi Xingchen's first reaction was that Governor Li must have important confidential matters to discuss with him.

After a few glasses of wine, Governor Li said: "Brother Yi, I won't call you an official position in private, I value your ability very much, and I want to ask you the truth, - are you willing to work under me?" ”

The governor is a super member of the second grade, and being able to work beside such a high-ranking official is just around the corner. Of course, Yi Xingchen did not hesitate to get up and bow his hand: "Yi is willing to follow the adults, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup before and after the saddle!" ”

Governor Li laughed, beckoned him to sit down, and said, "It's not that I won't let you do it in Jinyiwei, it's just that this time Jinzhou needs a capable assistant to investigate and deal with the White Lotus Sect." That's why I want to temporarily send you to do things for me. You have the experience of fighting with the White Lotus Sect before, and this time you were blessed to save my life, which shows that the two of us are fateful. Moreover, it is precisely by this kind of fate and luck that I think it can play a great role in the investigation and punishment of the White Lotus Sect, and when the investigation and punishment of the White Lotus Sect in Jinzhou is completed, I will tell you that the Jinyi Guards are the commanders and promoted to your officials. Rest assured, you are satisfied. ”

Yi Xingchen couldn't help but be overjoyed, with the governor's words, it was more reassuring than any guarantee, so what was there to hesitate? Hurriedly said: "Thank you Lord Governor for your support, Yi will definitely do his best to live up to the cultivation of Lord Governor." ”

"Very good, I have an idea, as you said on the road, the White Lotus Sect Imperial Court has banned it, so it is actually very easy to deal with them, just hit them when they show their heads, there is nothing ambiguous. However, what worries me the most is actually the Heavenly Tribulation Sect. The main thing I asked you to check was to deal with them. Of course, if you can get the news of Maitreya's activities by the way, you can also report it to me in time. But the most important thing is to collect evidence of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect's ill intentions, and catch their true evil deeds, which is the main mission I have entrusted to you. ”

Yi Xingchen hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

Governor Li said: "This time, the elite of my bodyguard is lost, and I have no people to mobilize, so I must be transferred from the capital immediately." In addition, if I were to be stationed directly in Jinzhou now, the Heavenly Tribulation Sect in Jinzhou would definitely not dare to move, so I would lead a team to Tunzhou early tomorrow morning, and at the same time, I would tell you Ruan Baihu that I would send you to complete some tasks, so that you could rest assured that you would be able to do things over there. You disguised yourself and entered Golden State to listen to the situation, find out the news, and then I will catch it all. ”

Yi Xingchen nodded and said, "I understand, follow the instructions of the adults." ”

Governor Li said: "I will tell you Jinyi Wei Duan Qianhu and ask him to give an order to order the Jinzhou Jinyi Wei Yamen to obey your full command. If you need to use the Jinyi Guard's troops, they must fully cooperate and obey your dispatch, you only need to send your waist card to give orders, and they will obey your command, including their hundred households. ”

Yi Xingchen hurriedly agreed, if there is full cooperation of the local Jinyi Guard, and he can listen to his own dispatch, then it will be much more convenient to do things, so that he will not be alone, in danger, and no one will know if something happens.

After the discussion, Governor Li picked up his glass and said: "Brother Yi, I salute you three glasses, the first cup thanks you for saving your life, the second cup wishes you success, and the third cup, I hope to get your full assistance in the future, little brother." With that, Governor Li picked up his wine glass and toasted three glasses in a row.

Yi Xingchen felt that this governor was really bold, a dignified second-grade official, and he valued himself so much as a seventh-grade petty official, which made people feel like a bole, so he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, agreed repeatedly, and took a wine glass without hesitation to toast three times in a row.

Because there was a task to complete, I didn't let go of drinking. It's just a little drunk. Governor Li asked Yi Xingchen to prepare a carriage and a set of civilian clothes, so that he could set off overnight, so that he could avoid people's eyes. (To be continued......)
