"Dare to ask this...but today?"

There was silence in the house.

Everyone was stunned by Zuo Ci's conclusion, and everyone showed different degrees of confusion on their faces.

Cao Cao was the first to come back to his senses. He only had to turn around in his head before he understood how Zuo Ci's guess came about. Various mixed and difficult emotions were intertwined on his face.

Sitting in the seat with the best view, he noticed that Guo Shi's complexion was ugly and a little pale. Cao Cao suppressed his eager heart, and thought to himself: No wonder Guo Shi looks like this.As the first wife of the previous Tongdahou, she is naturally very particular about the principles of the monarch and his ministers.No matter how much respect he has for the Son of Heaven in his heart, when he hears Zuo Ci's "rebellious" speculation, he will be displeased and guarded, lest he will ruin his reputation and get himself burned.

Because Zheng Ping was present, Cao Cao didn't say anything to comfort him, he just pretended he hadn't seen it, and waited quietly for Zheng Ping to respond.

As for Zheng Ping, like everyone else present, he was a little surprised by Zuo Ci's bold guess.

He used to call himself "Heng" when he choked on Zuo Ci. I don't know if Zuo Ci didn't pay attention, didn't hear clearly, or heard it wrong. He avoided his self-proclaimed name, threw Wang Zha directly, and asked him if he was the emperor. Liu Xie.

Even if Zheng Ping doesn't care about trivial matters and does his own way, he won't pretend to be the emperor for a quick tongue, and cause himself a big/trouble/trouble for nothing.So he just chuckled and denied without thinking:

"No."

Zuo Ci outside the door became more and more confused.

Although the young man inside denied the identity of the emperor, Zuo Ci noticed that there was a few breaths of silence in the room before the young man answered.

If that person is not the Son of Heaven, why did he pause before answering, and why did the hall suddenly fall into silence?

Zuo Ci, who already had seven or eight points of affirmation, raised the affirmation to eight or nine points due to continuous brain supplementation, and continued to climb as time went on.

Before coming here, Zuo Ci had heard about Cao Cao's temper.If the person in the room is not the emperor, Cao Cao will never give up the initiative to speak immediately after the person speaks, let that person negotiate with himself, or even damage him at will; if the person in the room is not the emperor, Cao Cao, who claims to be a loyal minister He would definitely scold himself aloud, instead of remaining silent and letting that person respond.

If the person in the room is not the Son of Heaven... when asked if he is the Son of Heaven, normal people can't laugh so easily even if they don't panic.Who can laugh it off and calmly deny that he is the Son of Heaven, except the real Son of Heaven?

The progress of the positive value in Zuo Ci's heart has been pulled to [-]% by his brain, he hesitated again and again, jumped down from the eaves, and walked quickly into the middle hall.

"Old Taoist Zuo Ci, I have seen..."

He thought that the Son of Heaven would definitely sit in the seat of the chief seat, so he bowed towards the chief seat, but he didn't know that halfway through the salute, he suddenly found that the person above had a middle-aged face.

Zuo Ci's brain was a beat slower, but he instinctively realized something was wrong: Although the Son of Heaven went through the troubled times when he was young, was robbed by warlords, and suffered a lot, he should be more mature than his actual age——but The Son of Heaven is only in his weak years, shouldn't he be so vicissitudes?

Zuo Ci pondered this question deeply, and the movement of saluting just stopped in mid-air, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Cao Cao, who was sitting in the main seat, saw a Taoist priest suddenly drifting in from the door, rushing towards him, his first reaction was that Zuo Ci became angry and wanted to come in and beat him.Before he could touch the saber, Zuo Ci suddenly stopped a foot and a half away from him, and was about to perform the Taoist salute.

This turning point made Cao Cao realize that Zuo Ci might be a soldier before the ceremony—in order to attract his attention, he deliberately went out of his way to get his attention by running wild in Sikong's mansion, pretending to be ghosts, and sarcasm him, and then came in to make an apology. Get his reuse.

Because of the oppression and depression of the day, although he was still deeply dissatisfied with Zuo Ci, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel much better after coming up with this guess.He was waiting for Zuo Ci to apologize and say good things to him, but Zuo Ci's movements suddenly froze, maintaining a strange posture.

Just when Cao Cao was in doubt, wondering if Zuo Ci had been pretending to be a ghost for too long and made himself weird, Zuo Ci's deep eyes suddenly changed, as if there was a gleam of fire, and he stared at him angrily:

"Cao Cao?"

Cao Cao was not happy.It is extremely rude to call him by his name in person. Zuo Ci used to call him Sikong politely when he was out there, why did he pretend to salute when he came in, and then called him by his name?

He then said impolitely:

"Old Taoist Zuo Ci, you came all the way to find me, pretending to be a ghost, making trouble for no reason, just to show your stupidity in front of me?"

The first half of the sentence corresponds to Zuo Ci's previous statement that "friends come from afar", which is full of irony.The sarcasm in the second half of the sentence is because I have been attacked by the venom of Ni Heng/Zheng Ping for too long, and I have mastered part of the essence of cursing without a teacher, and it has naturally become practical.

As soon as Zuo Ci heard Cao Cao's voice, he confirmed that the middle-aged man was indeed Cao Cao.He twitched his eyebrows, not only annoyed by Cao Cao's sarcasm just now, but also angry that he almost saluted Cao Cao, and raised his eyebrows coldly and reprimanded:

"How dare you sit in the first place?"

Cao Cao was furious when he heard the words, Zuo Ci not only had a very bad attitude, but also satirized his status, thinking that he was not worthy of the first seat?

After being furious, Cao Cao's heart moved, thinking of Zuo Ci's previous misunderstanding, he couldn't help but glance at Zheng Ping.

Could it be that Zuo Ci still insisted on his original guess?But Zheng Ping has already denied the identity of the Son of Heaven, no matter how stubborn and rude Zuo Ci is, it is impossible for him to explode on the basis of his own conjecture after meeting without verification?

Zuo Ci naturally also noticed Cao Cao's glance.

At this moment, he recalled it belatedly: Although Cao Cao is arrogant, the world is uncertain now, no matter whether he disagrees or not, he dare not directly show disrespect to the emperor, and risk the world's disgrace.

Since Cao Cao dared to sit alone at the main seat, it meant that he was not only the host of today's banquet, but also the highest comprehensive status in the entire banquet...Sikong is one of the three princes, the head of the hundred officials, and Cao Cao has a marquis in him.If it weren't for the presence of the emperor, no one could make him give up the throne.

In other words, since the Son of Heaven is not here, Zuo Ci's previous guess was completely wrong.

After realizing this, Zuo Ci hurriedly followed Cao Cao's gaze to look at the young man in the first place on both sides.

Needless to say, the one who got Cao Cao's attention at this time must be the spokesperson in the hall just now.Zuo Ci guessed that he was the Son of Heaven because of his logic and self-consistent thinking before, so he took the initiative to rationalize all the details... Now that I think about it, it turned out that he really didn't hear it wrong before. The "heng" is not a function word and particle in Gyeonggi dialect, but It is the self-proclaimed name.

Thinking of his previous rebuke to Cao Cao, Zuo Ci felt like "embarrassment" for the first time since he had been in the rivers and lakes for many years.

However, this embarrassment, after Zuo Ci saw Zheng Ping, all turned into a surprised "huh"?

Zheng Ping naturally noticed the change in Zuo Ci's facial expression.

After more than half a year of inspection, this world should be similar to his original world, close to the Milky Way universe, there is no high magic spiritual power system, and fairies and ghosts only exist in mythology.

So when Zuo Ci was doing things, he carefully observed the bamboo curtain based on the premise of pretending to be a ghost, and quickly found out the truth about the abnormal movement of the bamboo curtain.

But this can only prove that Zuo Ci really has no abilities that do not conform to the laws of biology, and it cannot prove that he is a complete charlatan——

Taoism includes not only strange and strange magic, but also medicine, prophecy, Qimen Dunjia, Jing, Yi, Xiangmian, divination and other aspects.

According to the pre-Qin literature and the records of many strange people and strange things... the strange magic is fake, but other widely known abilities are not necessarily so.

In the historical records of the Three Kingdoms, there is a divination man who can be called a fortune teller, named Guan Ren, who is admired and respected by the world because of his wonderful arithmetic.

Although Zheng Ping has reservations about these abilities that only exist in games and ancient records, he also knows that there are many things in this world that cannot be measured by common sense.

Zuo Ci, who pretends to be a ghost, may really have a profound ability of physiognomy, and he can see the origin of his abnormality.

Seeing that the corners of Zuo Ci's lips moved slightly, as if about to say something, Zheng Ping preemptively said:

"Why do you think that Sikong should not be in the main position?"

Zuo Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, and the question he had finally forgotten was thrown back again, so he had no choice but to clear his throat and speak slowly.
