It didn't take long for the butler to bring in the Taoist priest who was talking wildly at the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although strange people have their own visions, the person in front of him is not called a strange person, but more like a butcher who kills pigs in the neighborhood casually puts on a robe and pretends to be a ghost.

"Humph!" The old man hadn't spoken yet, but the young woman beside him couldn't help but snort coldly, he raised his eyebrows coldly at the Taoist priest in front of him, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

As if he hadn't heard her question, the Taoist priest didn't move, and since he entered, his eyes were staring straight at the old man standing with his hands behind his back.

As a guest, it is very rude to stare directly at the host after coming in and not speak.

What is the noble status of that young woman? When have you ever been ignored by such a contemptible person in the mountains? She was immediately furious, pointed directly at the Taoist priest's nose, and scolded sharply: "What a big guts! Mrs. Ben asks you how dare you? Come! Throw this impudent madman out of here! ”

"Woe! How do you treat your guests like this? Have you forgotten all the hospitality that your Father taught you? The old man reprimanded his daughter very harshly, and then turned his head to the strange Taoist priest in front of him and said, "Dare to ask the question Changgui's surname?" Why are you here? ”

When the Taoist priest heard someone ask him, he reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly responded: "Oh, the poor Taoist surname is Ximen, and his name is Junhui. Hedong Xie Liang people. This must be Lord Liu Xiu, the national teacher, right? ”

When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded like a broken bell roaring, combined with his appearance, it gave people the feeling that the score was instantly lowered to the extreme.

When the old man heard Ximen Junhui's words, he couldn't help frowning. He is a great Confucian in the world, and he pays the most attention to a word of etiquette in everything, and the strange Taoist priest in front of him is half-literate when he speaks, and his words and deeds are quite rude, which makes him feel a little unhappy in his heart.

"It's the old man, dare to ask if this Taoist master has made a special trip to find the old man?"

"Hehe, there is no important matter, but I heard that there is a big drama to be staged in this Guogong Mansion, and Poor Dao has traveled south and north in his life, and he has seen everything, but he has never seen this scene, so he came here thousands of miles away, and I hope that the national teacher can make it convenient for me to watch this scene before leaving."

As he spoke, the Taoist priest bent down and bowed towards Liu Xiu. It's just that looking at his rusty appearance, I'm afraid it's just a short time of learning.

Liu Xiu didn't get angry when he heard Ximen Junhui say such crazy words. Just staring at him with a strange look, Ximen Junhui was a little hairy when he was stared at, but he remembered the plan he had discussed before, and suddenly his heart was stable, and then he looked at Liu Xiu with a smile.

Liu Xiu saw that his temptation just now did not scare the other party, but raised a trace of interest. asked: "Then dare to ask the Taoist, what kind of drama is there going to be staged in my National Teacher's Mansion?" Can you tell us a little bit about that? ”

When the Taoist priest heard Liu Xiu ask, he immediately looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha, the scene I want to watch can be summed up in eight words: 'Raiding the family and destroying the clan, blood flows like a river'!" ”

"Bold!"

"Presumptuous!"

This time, not only the young woman was shouting angrily, but even the housekeeper standing aside was so angry that he couldn't help but scold.

This person really doesn't know what to do, and the master treats him so kindly, he even dares to speak disrespectfully, he is really crazy.

And several people outside the courtyard heard the housekeeper's shouting and scolding, and they also picked up the guys and rushed into the garden, and suddenly there was a tense and grim atmosphere on the scene.

"What are you doing here? Don't hurry up and get out of here! ”

Liu Xiu's eyes widened angrily, and he scolded the family and the housekeeper, he waved his hand and said, "You go out first, you also go out, I have something to say to this Taoist chief." ”

"Daddy! This person is not a good thing at first glance......."

"Get out! What's wrong? When she became the crown princess, didn't she even listen to her father? Well? ”

"Yes, the child is gone."

The young woman didn't continue to fight, and obediently walked out towards Liu Xiu with a slight bow, but she still glared at him fiercely when she passed by Ximen Junhui.

Seeing that there was no third person in the courtyard, Liu Xiu turned his head, looked at Ximen Junhui with a serious face and asked, "Anyway, what do you want to say?" ”

"Hehe, there is nothing to say about the poor road, I just want to ask an adult: would you like to come and watch it with the poor road?"

"What to watch? Raiding the house and exterminating the family? "Liu Xiu is not an ordinary rotten Confucian, he has stood in the court for many years without falling, what kind of scene has he not seen, how can he be frightened by the words of a Taoist priest.

He smiled slightly contemptuously and stared at Simon calmly, waiting for the next step.

Ximen Junhui saw that Liu Xiu actually reacted like this, and suddenly he didn't know what to do with the draft that had already been typed in his stomach. Although he was reckless, he was also thick and fine, and his eyes turned and he thought of what he was going to say next.

"No, no. What Poor Dao said is not this play, but another play. ”

"Oh? In a word. ”

"This play is 'sitting in the south and facing the north, and ascending to the ninety-five', hahaha......" he said and began to laugh again.

And Liu Xiu on the side also changed color instantly after hearing the words of this Taoist priest, and he shouted: "Demon Dao! Don't fool the crowd here! Today, the Holy Heaven is destined by Heaven, so how can you wait for the mountains and wilderness to blaspheme at will? ”

Ximen Junhui was not flustered at all, but pretended to be surprised and asked, "Ah! Isn't this what the National Teacher has always dreamed of? ”

Liu Xiu was trembling at Ximen's words, what is the difference between this kind of words and slandering him for rebellion, if this is spread, the consequences will be unimaginable. He hurriedly cleared up the relationship and said, "Nonsense! If you dare to talk nonsense again, see that I don't report to the court, and treat you for a big crime of disrespect! ”

If you want to say that a reader is a reader after all, even threatening people is polite and polite, and you can't let go of cruel words.

Ximen Junhui, who had been prepared, was naturally not frightened, he smiled slightly, took out a yellowed silk book from his long sleeves, and said: "My lord is angry, and the poor road has also misbelieved the rumors in the market. ”

As he spoke, he held the silk book in both hands and handed it over respectfully.

Liu Xiuhu took the silk book suspiciously, opened it and looked at it, only to see the first sentence, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

There is such a sentence written on the silk book, called: "Emperor Liu Zhixiu, the world of nine lives, the emperor is virtuous, and the government is engraved." ”

As a rare master of prophecy in the world, he knows this sentence himself. As early as decades ago, he had heard of this proverb, from the "Hetu Hegu Chapter", and he could list many similar proverbs. In the early years, when he was still called Liu Xin, Liu Xiu, who changed his name in order to avoid secrecy, actually played a great role in the final analysis.

It's just that after so long, these proverbs suddenly popped up at this juncture, and he had to feel heartfelt panic.

"Where did this ..... come from?"

"Huh? Don't adults know? This prophecy is now spread all over the streets, not only in Chang'an City, but also in Zuo Feng Yi, Right Fufeng and other places. The fame of adults has spread all over the world, which is really gratifying! ”

Liu Xiu was almost scared to death by Ximen's words, as the national teacher of the dynasty, he usually reads poetry and books at home, who knows that these things are circulated among the people. This is a rebellion! No wonder the Taoist priest said that he wanted to raid the family and exterminate the clan, if this was used by someone with a heart, he would really be doomed.

When he was panicking, he looked up and saw that Ximen Junhui was still looking at him with a calm face, and immediately understood that this seemingly crazy Taoist priest must have made up his mind.

So he bowed deeply to Ximen Junhui, bent down and pleaded in a respectful tone: "Please also ask the Taoist to teach me!" ”

Ximen Junhui couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he saw that the fish was finally hooked. He coughed twice, and pretended to say, "Adults don't have to be polite, since Poor Dao came here today, he has the intention of helping you." In the eyes of unrelated people such as us, this thing is nothing more than an after-dinner conversation, but in the eyes of His Majesty and those who have a heart, this is a great deal. ”

"Please make it clear, sir." Liu Xiu, who was completely frightened, hurriedly changed his title and asked.

"Eh, don't dare to be, don't dare to be. In fact, this matter is easy to do, and there are three ways to solve the worries of adults. ”

"Oh? Which three schemes? ”

"This plan is that your Excellency will take this silk book to meet Your Majesty, and then explain everything and show your heart, so that your Excellency will first have a heart and do it, and you can get out."

Liu Xiu groaned slightly, shook his head and said: "This plan is not appropriate, let's not say whether Your Majesty will believe everything I say, if it is really someone behind the scenes, then the other party must be fully prepared, no matter how I justify, it may not be effective." ”

"Then there is a plan, this plan is that you retreat bravely, return to your hometown, stay away from deception, return to your hometown to buy some fields, and be an idle rich man, but it will not live up to this life."

Liu Xiu also pondered for a long time but shook his head and said: "This plan is not possible, it is not our love for the power position, but today's world is turbulent, ant thieves are swarming from all over the country, and the people in the court are scattered, the corpses are vegetarian, the people are displaced, and the suffering is unspeakable." The old man really can't bear to leave thousands of Li people in the midst of fire and water! ”

Simon smiled slightly, as if he expected him to say this, so he replied solemnly: "My lord is kind-hearted and admired. But the first two plans can't be used, so now there is only the upper plan. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"This plan is easy to say, but I need the help of a noble lady."

"Child? How can she help? Liu Xiu frowned.

Ximen said confidently: "She has nothing to help you, but her husband, your Chenglong fast son-in-law is different." ”

Liu Xiu listened to Ximen's words, and his pupils suddenly shrank. He looked at Ximen Junhui, who was still smiling, very seriously, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good at taking care of my idle affairs?" ”

"No, no. He doesn't dare to take care of your business, but what if it's his own business? ”

Having said this, Liu Xiu probably understood a lot, but he didn't want to say it. He put his hands behind his back, which were covered with cold sweat, and began to walk back and forth in front of Simon.

After a while, as if he had made some decision, all the panic he had just felt was gone, replaced by firmness and calmness.

He calmed down for a moment, and returned to his original calm and serious appearance. It's just that he didn't despise the Taoist priest in front of him anymore, but solemnly made another gesture towards the west gate, and thanked him in his mouth: "Thank you for your guidance and help me in the predicament." What should I do next, why don't I move to the study and make plans? ”

Seeing that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, Simon also said smoothly: "Guests are as they please, and your lordship will invite you first." ”

"Please." As soon as Liu Xiu stretched out his hand, he took the lead and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Ximen Junhui followed him, and beads of sweat began to ooze from his dark face. The conversation just now really drained his mind. From the beginning of the trickery to the later temporary offering, every moment he was trembling, walking on thin ice, and there could be no mistakes. Once something goes wrong, then it is small that you are encircled, and your major events will be delayed.

He put his hand into his chest, squeezed the crystal plate hanging on his chest tightly, and said silently in his heart:

"Wait for me, baby! I'll earn enough points to get you that medicine!" You must wait until I get back! ”
