The carriage arrived at the door of the new house after a while, and the two got out of the car and were about to go in, when suddenly someone pulled a dirty child out of it, and the child kept shouting: "It was the old fairy who asked me to wait here for the second master of Chu, if you don't listen to the old fairy, you will be punished!" ”

The boy was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his hair was unkempt, his face was emaciated, and he was probably about the same age as Wanji, but he was probably much shorter because of poverty.

Qingdi thought of Mi'er when she saw the child now, and couldn't help but feel pity for him, so she said to the person who was pulling him: "You let him go first, what's wrong?" ”

The man hurriedly replied: "Madam, the old slave's surname is Xu, and he was sent by the master to watch this house before, and the old man asked the old slave to stay here in the middle of the night to be a housekeeper for the second master and his wife." Hearing that the second master and his wife were going to move over this morning, the old slave checked and cleaned the house inside and out overnight, but found that the little beggar was lying in the study and did not leave, so the old slave let him out. ”

"Don't panic yet." Qingdi took the child from Steward Zhang's hand and asked with a pleasant face, "I heard you say that you want to see Second Master Chu just now, who are you?" Why do you want to see Second Master Chu? ”

"I was sent by the old immortal, and the old immortal said that he had something to do with Second Master Chu." The kid replied.

"Oh? What old fairy? How godly are there? ”

"It's the old Liu Immortal who came down from Zhaoyao Mountain, the old Liu Immortal is amazing, he only needs to look at the person, he can predict what disaster that person will encounter, very, very accurate." That kid seemed to have a special respect for this "Liu Lao Immortal".

"Swagger Mountain? Liu Lao Immortal? Chu Yaocen frowned for a moment and asked, "Could it be Liu Qimang?" ”

"Liu Qimang?" When Qingdi heard it, he felt that this name was familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly remembered that it was the old man who stopped him and said that he would be unlucky, he seemed to be called Liu Qimang! As a result, after she went back, she experienced being slandered by Bai Qingqing for injuring her children, and was also framed for murder...... Qingdi shuddered, and said to Chu Yaocen: "Yaocen, I forgot about this matter, I also met Liu Qimang in your mouth before, and he asked me to go back and tell you that he came to the imperial city, but I forgot about it." ”

Chu Yaocen thought for a moment and asked the child, "Where is Mr. Liu now?" ”

The kid glanced at Chu Yaocen suspiciously, circled around with a pair of big eyes, and asked him, "Could it be that you are Second Master Chu?" ”

When Chu Yaocen heard this title again, he couldn't help but feel funny, and said: "Old Mr. Liu is really clever, indeed, I was the Second Young Master of Chu yesterday, and I am the Second Master of Chu today." This matter should have been known only to our Chu family, and the one who called me Second Master Chu instead of Second Young Master Chu should only be our Chu family, but I didn't expect it to be known to the old gentleman, it seems that he knows everything that happened to our Chu family recently. ”

The kid thought about it, and it sounded like Chu Yaocen's words were an acknowledgment that he was Second Master Chu. He hurriedly took Chu Yaocen's hand and said, "Second Master Chu, come with me, the old fairy has been waiting for you for several days!" ”

Chu Yaocen nodded in response, and followed the child, Qingdi instructed Xingzi to take the subordinates to move things in first, and then followed Chu Yaocen and the child as well.

Qingdi was confused and asked Chu Yaocen, "Yaocen, what's going on?" ”

"Liu Qimang on Zhaoyao Mountain is the person who understands these mysterious things such as astrology, yin and yang, gossip and so on in the entire Li country and even the world, although few people believe these things, but Mr. Liu can really predict people's fate and even national fortune through this." Chu Yaocen explained to Qingdi: "My God of War father, when he went to war, he asked Mr. Liu to test the good luck, and even when he was in danger and what danger he encountered, he was clear. ”

"Is there really such a god?" Qingdi seemed to be a little skeptical.

"Yes, but after my father was killed by the emperor, he lived in Zhaoyao Mountain and never came down again." Chu Yaocen's words stopped here, and now that Liu Qimang has reappeared, I am afraid that he can also see that Li Guo will encounter a bloody storm next.

Qingdi looked sideways slightly, and when he saw Chu Yaocen talking, the look in his eyes, and in those slightly heterochromatic eyes, it could be seen that he was very, very happy. Probably, he really looked forward to the chaos in the world.

After a while, the two arrived at Liu Qimang's residence, Liu Qimang was sitting under a willow tree that had just sprouted new sprouts to cook tea, and when he heard the footsteps at the door, he looked up and smiled at the visitor.

"Old immortal, I brought Second Master Chu over." The child cried out with joy and ran to his side as fast as he could.

"Oh, good." Liu Qimang touched the child's dirty hair, then got up and said to Chu Yaocen and Qingdi: "Second Master Chu, Mrs. Chu, you are finally here." ”

Chu Yaocen bowed deeply and said: "Senior Liu, I have admired the name for a long time, Mrs. saw you on the road the day before yesterday, but unfortunately Mrs. didn't know the old gentleman, and she didn't believe the catastrophe that the old gentleman said. ”

Liu Qimang looked at Qingdi for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "No, Madame's catastrophe has not passed." ”

"What?" Chu Yaocen suddenly tightened his brows, and said worriedly: "I don't know what other catastrophe will happen to her?" How can it be hacked? ”

Qingdi was also panicked, especially when he saw that Chu Yaocen also trusted this old gentleman Liu so much, he couldn't help but ask in fear: "Ask the old fairy for help." ”

"Haha, don't be afraid, you can't die. Although it is a catastrophe, but when you meet me, this catastrophe is not a catastrophe. Liu Qimang stroked his beard and laughed, and said, "Second Young Master Chu, Madame's matter, I'll talk to you in detail later, now, the three of us will talk about it first, my purpose for looking for you, and the matter of the prince." ”

This is a big deal, and Chu Yaocen naturally wanted to know the purpose of Liu Qimang's descent this time, so he hurriedly responded. Liu Qimang instructed the child to go and burn a cup of tea, and then led Qingdi and Chu Yaocen into the house to talk.

The three of them sat down, and Liu Qimang said: "Second Master Chu, I have been with your biological father before, your mother was pregnant at that time, and then your father was killed, and your mother was forced to marry into the Chu family and give birth to you, so I avoided Zhaoyao Mountain, I thought that in your life, it would be enough to live a worry-free life in the Chu family, and we will never meet." However, a few days ago, I watched the stars at night and found that the dynasty was about to be turbulent, and the murderous aura from the east was coming, and the country of Li would soon usher in a bloody storm......"

Chu Yaocen hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "Mr. Liu has lived in the mountains for a long time and knows the major events in the world. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to praise me just yet. I predicted that the world would be chaotic, and I came to you again, one is thinking of the friendship I once had with your father, and the other is that you do have a noble body, with purple gas on your head, and a golden dragon coiling, this lord of the Li country, you have a thirty percent chance. ”

"Sancheng?" Chu Yaocen frowned slightly, this was a little different from what he imagined, he thought that it would be more than fifty percent.

"Yes, when the crown prince accounts for forty percent, and the remaining thirty percent, several princes have a chance." Liu Qimang said.

Qingdi blinked, looked at Liu Qimang and said: "Mr. Liu, the prince is just a child now, if the world is in chaos, he will only have the share of being slaughtered by others, even if he becomes the emperor, it is only a few princes who can really control the power, how can he take forty percent of the opportunity?" ”

Liu Qimang didn't answer Qingdi's words, only sighed lightly, and asked Qingdi: "Madam, what else do you know about the prince, now in front of me and Second Master Chu, make it clear." ”

Qingdi thought for a while and said: "I do know some unknown things about the prince, the prince was bullied in the palace and was raised by the imperial concubine, but I heard the prince's master Fu Wan say that the imperial concubine didn't want to train the prince into a useful talent at all, and asked the prince to do something unrelated to his studies all day long. ”

"The prince is a little pitiful." Liu Qimang said sympathetically, looked at Chu Yaocen and said, "Second Master Chu, no matter whether the prince will become your opponent in the future, you have to arrange some people around the prince now." The purpose of these people was not to assassinate the crown prince, but to protect him from harm. ”

Chu Yaocen was a little puzzled and asked, "Why do I want to protect the prince?" The crown prince does not seem to have played much of a role in this coup. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, if you want to seize power in the Li Kingdom, you definitely need to go back to the Wu Kingdom and seek support from your home country, right?" Liu Qimang did not answer Chu Yaocen, but asked this.

Chu Yaocen nodded and said, "That's true, my mother said before her death that she has a close relationship with the current monarch of Wu State, that is, his elder brother, and his mother. If I seek support, he should not sit idly by, let alone something that is beneficial to Wu Guo. ”

"But what if your uncle won't help you? Do you know what the state of Wu is now? Will there be civil strife? Your uncle is also old, is he still able to help you? ”

Chu Yaocen listened to Liu Qimang's words, tapped his fingers on the table for a long time, and nodded: "Yes, I have neglected to pay attention to Wu Guo over the years. ”

"Therefore, for you, the prince can't die, the prince must stay in this position well, let the other princes deal with the prince, and then you can start an army in the name of killing the rebel ministers." Liu Qimang stroked his beard and said: "You are just a merchant now, so naturally you are not qualified to raise troops, but when you are familiar with the prince and establish a friendship, after the prince becomes the emperor, you will be a general, and naturally there will be a simple way." What's more, you still have money, I'm not talking about the money you took from Master Chu. ”

Chu Yaocen naturally understood that he was referring to the treasure left behind by the ancestors of their Lu family.

"So, back to what I just said, you need to arrange people around the prince, and arrange people who can make the prince absolutely trust."

Speaking of this, Chu Yaocen was in trouble again, and couldn't help asking, "Then who is better to arrange?" ”

"Haha," Liu Qimang laughed twice and said, "I already have a candidate." ”
