Chang'an [Rebirth]

The old man was still engrossed in dealing with those fresh fish, and he smiled when he heard this, "Where do you start with that?"

"You are a foreigner, so you probably don't know the customary rules in our court. Even if you know, the Earth Temple is not small, and you should look for it a few times, but you went straight to the desk, I guess it was calculated."

Ruan Linshuang also smiled sweetly, "Wu Heng of Mu Sang Kingdom has his eyes open to see the secrets of the sky. It is said that he never makes mistakes in matters big or small."

It was rumored that Master Ruan was kind and gentle, but it was all a cover-up, Chai Zheng thought, "This is obviously so smart and close to a monster."

In the silence, the old man lit the fire and set up the pot. There was a hint of smoke in the cold wind, and Chai Zheng was punching at the side, holding back to train himself to be a master within two days. Straight hair weak, can't even run away.

"It's not a good thing to be able to pinch and count, and the accuracy rate is extremely high." The old man put the fish into the pan and fried it until it was golden on both sides, and the fragrance permeated instantly. , but no matter how I try to control my fate, the ending has not changed a bit.”

There was deep weariness in his voice.

When the world is peaceful, ordinary people can still live happily for two days at least. Drinking wine mixed with water is the biggest unlucky thing in front of them, but Wu Heng can see when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed.

Chai Zheng even suspects that when Wu Hengluo rubs shoulders with someone, he will be able to read that person's entire life, and all happiness and well-being will inevitably lead to life and death. In his eyes, the world is tragedy after tragedy, one after another.

If it were me, I would rather nest in the room, hugging the quilt and getting moths.

"So you found us?" Ruan Linshuang frowned, "What's so special about me and Chai Zheng?"

"I don't know either." The old man had already simmered the soup, and he sat beside the firewood, "Only this time, the oracle was vague."

The old man smiled wryly, "I don't even know how you two can save my life and people at such a young age and have too much time for self-care."

Chai Zheng smirked, "Don't look down on people... I'm going to be a general in the future."

This sentence was spoken fluently, and there was no more ambiguous swallowing of words. Chai Zheng was very satisfied with his articulation.

Since she was reborn, she has fully adapted to the speaking style of a two-year-old child, using short sentences, calling her mother or sister. It was not until just now that Chai Zheng realized that she had made great progress and could barely express her thoughts.

The old man's expression became serious, and he was even more worried. He probably knew what would happen many years later. After hesitating for a moment, the old man still wanted to give Chai Zheng a chance to survive. OK."

If others persuaded her so, Chai Zheng would jump up and break his kneecap, but the old man didn't look down on her at all when he said this.

It's a pity that Chai Zheng doesn't want to be mediocre in this life. The general still has to do it, but she intends to learn and improve from the beginning of the rebellion.

"The soup is rolling."

Chai Zheng could hear the sound of bubbles bursting in the iron pot. It was warm. Put a handful of crispy cabbage in the fresh fish soup and sprinkle a little salt. At this time, there was only this bowl of milky white fish soup in the earth temple. It is Chai Zheng's only thought.

Chai Zheng is the most heartless No. 1 in the world.

"Old man, when will this rain stop?" Ruan Linshuang was a little more worried than Chai Zheng.

Wu Hengluo glanced outside the door, "It's about half an hour, the rain is too heavy, it won't last long."

"Are you worried about something?" Ruan Linshuang asked again.

"Someone has been looking for my whereabouts, and they want me to give orders." The old man sighed, "After the rain stops, they will come to the door."

After pondering for a moment, Ruan Linshuang asked, "Old man, have you ever tried to lie?"

Wu Hengluo couldn't understand Ruan Linshuang's meaning all of a sudden, so the little girl explained, "You are very good at fortune-telling, and this is just a legend outside, not to mention a matter of ten, twenty, or even a lifetime, how can you immediately test the authenticity. "

Chai Zheng felt that there was something wrong with Wu Heng's education since he was a child, and he was so honest with his unique skills. Isn't that just a meat target, waiting for others to poke him a few times?

The old man shook his head, "If you lie before the oracle, you will be punished."

"Even if you don't lie, you can change the meaning or blur the concept." Ruan Linshuang taught the octogenarian high priest how to fool people. "In short, don't bring the trouble to yourself."

The people of Musang Kingdom are probably too simple and simple. The high priest can live to this age. It is estimated that even the "extremely insidious" King Keqin, who committed rebellion and made troubles, would be killed by human traffickers if he were placed in the Dajing Dynasty. Resold.

Chai Zheng then thought about it again, if Mu Sangguo hadn't been brave in battle, with such an inflexible mind who dared to bully me, his mind would really be soaked in sea water.

The High Priest had never thought about Ruan Linshuang's way of thinking, and now he felt a little bit of his life was overwhelmed, and the unfathomable feeling of leaning on the boat with a bamboo hat was gone.

He was trembling with the fish soup in his hand, as if he was recalling the truth he had told in the first half of his life.

"Grandpa," Chai Zheng said after cleaning up all the fish in the soup, "King Keqin, did you have a fortune teller?"

The old man shook the bowl in his hand and almost spilled the soup.

King Keqin and the same mother and compatriots of the former Musang Kingdom Lord had won military exploits when they were about 20 years old. They had a great reputation in the army, so the Lord authorized the high priest to approve orders for him. A star, above ten thousand people."

At that time, King Keqin was still protected by the emperor's brother, his wife was by his side and the house was full of children. When life was full of ambitions, he approved this extremely ominous fate.

The old man may have been happy for most of his life. When he mentioned the young king and King Keqin, there was a kind of indifferent nostalgia on his face. When he talked about the fate, the light on his face suddenly disappeared. into dead silence.

As soon as the old man's voice stopped, the surroundings became startlingly quiet. The rain outside had passed its initial torrential period and began to patter, but the boatman hadn't returned yet.

Chai Zheng moved the tip of her nose, and she smelled a smell of blood along the wet soil, which was far away and faint, and could be completely washed away by the rain.

The eyes of the two-year-old girl sank, and the bowl in her hand smashed to pieces on the ground. Chai Zheng picked up the sharpest piece and pulled Ruan Linshuang under the desk.

If ten years later, Chai Zheng would shake her hair to meet such a secretive person, but not yet, she has to think carefully about her words, lest she attract too much suspicion and die early.

What's more, the two-year-old's body is weak, and Chai Zheng has to protect himself in order to protect the [-] troops in Mobei, thousands of people, and more than [-] people in the Chai Mansion.

The old man turned a blind eye to the actions of the two of them. His trembling hands suddenly stabilized. The fish soup was still not cold, but a thin layer of hot air enveloped the soup surface. Because it hadn't taken a sip for a long time, a film of oil formed on the surface.

The old man ate half a fish and drank a bowl of soup, and slowly collected the mess on the ground. The rain gradually stopped following his movements, and a human head rolled in from outside the earth temple.

Chai Zheng stuffed Ruan Linshuang into the dark place again, holding the tile tightly with both hands, her fingertips were red and numb.

She recognized the head as belonging to the boatman.

The boatman probably didn't understand what happened when he died, so his eyes were wide and bloodshot, and he died with regret.

The old man glanced at the head on the ground, he picked it up carefully, wiped the dirt and blood stains on it with his sleeve, and sighed, "It's already in the cause and effect, it's a pity that neither you nor I can escape."

He added, "At least you have me to help collect the body, and when I get to this day, who will help to bury it."

After the rolling head came two big men in black. Chai Zheng knew at a glance that these two were the best of the best, and they didn't make any sound when their toes landed on the dry grass branches. It occupies too much space and can really be ignored.

The old man ignored the two men in black who were like door gods, and the men in black ignored him. The two sides seemed to be in a divided environment until the third man in black walked into the Earth Temple.

Even if this person turned into ashes, Chai Zheng would recognize him immediately.

"It's Zhao Qian, what is he doing here?" Chai Zheng's question was dismissed by himself in an instant, "Emperors from ancient times to the present seem to have had their brains hammered. Alchemy trying to poison himself to death...Zhao Qian probably came here for fortune-telling."

Chai Zheng thought to himself, "Fortune tellers themselves look like ghosts. You just want to have a bright future. If this is the pinnacle of your life and you're just rolling in a cesspit in the future, why are you still planning to struggle?"

The high priest struggled to shatter his home country, so it can be seen that the result will only get worse, not better.

The old man has just grasped the essence of "lying". He clearly knew Zhao Qian's identity just by taking a look at Zhao Qian, but he pretended to mutter, "Master, you are just passing by to avoid the rain. There is no need to kill."

"You don't know why I killed someone?" Zhao Qian walked up to the high priest with his head covered.

"How do I know? Is it possible that you are all bandits who want the life of this old man like me?" The old man coughed twice. Make a hexagram, don't use hexagrams, just ask for my life, what do you think?"

"..." The magic fortune tellers in the countryside have to ask three times and five times. Why is Wu Heng from Musang country so shameless, can he do fortune telling just to save his life?

Zhao Qian thought to himself, "Is it working?"

The old man continued his efforts, "There are still a lot of messes in my house waiting for me to deal with, so I really have to save this life."

Since Zhao Qian was able to find Wu Hengluo so quickly, it means that his spies are always paying attention to the situation in Musang Kingdom. When the old man mentioned this, Zhao Qian knew that "the mess at home" refers to the situation of King Keqin. Contrary thing.
