Lu Yu smiled all over his face, and said lightly: "Since I came back to the capital, I have often heard people say that I am a wild species outside. This has been said a lot, and everyone is very curious. How about it, Daoist, you Let me do the math, whether I was born to my father or not."

After he said this for a long time, no one around spoke, Lu Xie spit out his wine and coughed loudly.

What you said is really aboveboard.

This is simply too absurd, the majestic prince of a country, let others count him as the emperor's own in the public?Even if he is favored and dares to say anything, others still dare not listen!

Zhang Ming broke out in a cold sweat at the time, and the blood that was burning because of the jewelry and money just now turned cold in an instant. Lu Yu made it clear that he was trying to make things difficult for him, and this was simply a proposition.

The current situation in the DPRK and China is unclear, and the king of Linzhang holds great power, and the current emperor is also not a straw bag to be manipulated by others.Before the position of prince was established, although Lu Yu was the most favored, the identity of his biological mother was unknown, and he did not have strong support from his family. With several forces competing in the court, the other princes were not completely absent. of foothold.

Under such circumstances, even if you know the answer to this question, you absolutely cannot answer it.

To say that he is not the emperor's own is courting death.But if it is said categorically that he is indeed the prince and grandson... then he wants to seek death slowly.

If he, Zhang Ming, dares to say this in front of everyone today, then if there are any rumors in the future, others will say that even the followers of Prince Yi's residence have said that Prince Huai's identity is unquestionable .

In this way, there is no doubt that Lu Yu has no influence at all, and he has to be peeled off by those who dislike Lu Yu and can't move this King Huai - Lu Xie is probably the first to ask for it. hands-on.

Zhang Ming remained silent for a long time, and the surrounding atmosphere was weird. Lu Yu seemed to feel nothing, and urged: "Tell me, what's the matter? No...it can't be figured out."

Zhang Ming was extremely depressed, if it wasn't for Duke Huai who spoke, he would have wanted to curse out loud - it's obvious that he was entertaining me, and I didn't provoke him!

At this time, he finally understood the embarrassment and anger that Mr. Zhu felt just now. Hearing Lu Yu's urging, he didn't dare to hesitate for too long. The momentary situation is not something we can measure, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Lu Yu looked him up and down, and said in amazement: "Hey, I thought you were a stupid mallet just now, but you are quite good at talking. Talking to people, talking nonsense to the devil, you are indeed a master, and you are indeed someone that the fourth brother values! "

"..."

Lu Xie said with a half-smile: "Fifth brother, you might as well ask your father this kind of question, I guess the answer will come sooner."

Lu Yu said affectionately: "Fourth brother is right. I asked the wrong question. Daoist, I'm sorry."

Zhang Ming couldn't take his "sorry" seriously, and knelt down all of a sudden.

Lu Yu waved his hand, asked someone to help him up, and said, "The future doesn't matter, ask the head office in the past. Zhang Ming, come and figure out what the king was like before he came to Beijing."

The question just now has already been discussed. If you refuse it again, it will be too disrespectful to Duke Huai. Zhang Ming paused for a while, and then slowly said: "Before His Highness came to Beijing, his style was simple, he cared for the people, and he often shared with the people. Le, the people also love His Highness very much."

Lu Yu clicked his tongue, frowned, and said, "You are wrong. When I was in the frontier, I was very extravagant and wasteful."

Zhang Ming: "..."

Lu Yu chuckled: "Some poor people there can't even afford to wear padded jackets in winter, but I use good brocade to cut clothes, throw them away after wearing them, and never repeat them every day; some people can't even eat enough, my There is meat in every meal in the palace... Ah, yes, every meal of meat has to be thrown away, and new ones have to be made for the next meal. Such behavior, the poor must be envious of them, and they probably won’t The assembly loves this king."

Zhang Ming was an unpleasant person, seeing Duke Huai finding fault, everyone was very excited, even Bai Yiling couldn't hold back, he pretended to touch his nose with his hand to hide the smile on his lips.

In fact, according to conscience, Zhang Ming's calculations cannot be wrong. Compared with other princes, Lu Yu's life in the border area is indeed frugal and close to the people. Yu's words were so serious that no one else could refute them.

He was watching the excitement here, but he forgot to think about why Lu Yu suddenly got up at this moment, choking Zhang Ming speechless.

Lu Yu sighed, lost interest, and said: "I thought I saw someone different, but it seems that it is nothing more than that. I just said those things that are not accurate. It's late now, hey, fourth brother, take your time." ,I am leaving."

Lu Yu was particularly aggressive this night. In fact, he didn't just get angry because of the rudeness of Lu Xie and Zhang Ming. I just wanted to do something for him.

He... really wanted to be this person's reliance, even though Bai Yiling might not need it.

Lu Yu looked reckless, but in fact his character was not reckless. Although every word and every word was trying to stand up for Bai Yiling, under his conscious or unintentional guidance, everyone just felt that he was always targeting Lu Xie.

After all, the disharmony between King Yi and King Huai can be traced back to the sour words that King Yi said when King Huai came to Beijing on the first day. He will think about Bai Yiling, which will save him a lot of trouble.

Immortals fight little ghosts, and now that Lu Yu finally said that he is going to leave, everyone is relieved, and they take advantage of this excuse to leave.

After going out, each of them took a breath of the air-conditioning outside, refreshed, and told themselves that it was good to be alive.

Bai Yiling also walked out with the crowd, and along the way, he was stopped by young men whom he knew and didn't know—most of them were single.

"Brother Bai, count the marriage for me! Next year's Qixi Festival, I really don't want to spend it alone!"

"Commander Bai, are you familiar with Yuelao? Do you often go to Yuelao Temple to offer incense, which makes this immortal treat you so favorably?"

"Xia Guang, Xia Guang, when did you learn the spell, how come I don't even know about it?"

"Sure enough, it's hard work for those who are capable. I only know that you handle cases like a god, and the word measurement is so accurate. That stinky Taoist priest who pretends to be noble should be dealt with like this!"

……

Bai Yiling said helplessly: "Everyone, it was actually just a coincidence just now. The main thing is that Mr. Zhu's sincerity touched the heavens, which attracted the pity of Yuelao and made him appear in the world. I really only know the surface!"

He paused, and then said: "If I really have that ability, will I still be divorced?"

I don't know whose paw rested on his shoulder and patted him affectionately: "Hey, there are so many people who like you, why should you be afraid of this? Maybe the good marriage has already come!"

Bai Yiling smiled wryly, thinking in his heart, it's not bad if he's not unlucky.

He was pushed and shoved by everyone in the back, and it took him a while to get away. When he went out alone, the waiter lifted the curtain of the restaurant for him. Bai Yiling looked outside and found that it was snowing outside.

The street was deserted, and two or three pedestrians passing by in a hurry breathed out white mist.Large flakes of snowflakes were falling, reflected by the two big lanterns at the entrance of the restaurant, refracting fine light, which fell into the collar but was icy cold.

——Xie Fan was standing beside the carriage of the Hou Mansion, with one foot on the servant's back, ready to get into the carriage.

Bai Yiling acted as if he hadn't seen him, and walked forward slowly facing Xue Hua with his hands behind his hands, but Xie Fan paused, walked up to him and casually cupped his hands, calling out "Brother".

Bai Yiling stopped and said calmly, "If you don't want to, you don't have to call me that. I don't need a brother."

Xie Fan's expression froze, and then he showed a wry smile, and said: "Brother, where is he thinking? I don't judge who was right or wrong when the family sent you out of the house, but my younger brother couldn't speak at that time, so it has nothing to do with me, right? Why would you shut everyone out thousands of miles away?"

His expression and tone at this time were very sincere, but when Xie Fan saw Bai Yiling for the first time in the restaurant just now, the phrase "Why is it you" that Xie Fan blurted out had actually revealed his true emotions.

Bai Yiling raised his lips and said, "Okay, I'm sorry. May I go?"

Xie Fan really had no way to communicate with him, so he sighed and said: "You...you should go home and have a look when you are free. When you returned the marriage last time, your father had an argument with you. In fact, he was not feeling well. .”

After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly, got into the carriage and left.

【Ding dong! 】

[Congratulations to the host for winning this PK match, points +200, and a pair of "Yin Yang Eyes" as a gift, which can be used three times. 】

[The fortune-telling function starts randomly, "Gills are seen behind the ears, and white eyes are seen", Xie Fan has a sinister face, please be vigilant to the host. 】

"I know." Bai Yiling smiled lightly, "I heard familiar lines from his mouth."

The words in the book he had read seemed to have become memories of what he had experienced, flashing in his mind.The plots designed in the book, like the previous life destined to run according to the established track, spread and promote one by one.

【"My big brother is very suspicious and quick-witted. It's not easy to fool him. But I believe that he would never have imagined that his old friend, whom he has known for ten years, would be bribed by me..."】

【"No matter how hard the bone is, it can't bear the effect of Wushi powder."】

In the book, he is calculated and used again and again, and he is a qualified cannon fodder in the author's pen.But now, here, it is not a page or a stroke of ink, but the life he has actually experienced.

Those people will not succeed.

Bai Yiling brushed off the snowflakes on his shoulders, and said nonchalantly, "System, thank you for reminding me, I will give you 100 points, take the flowers and go."

[! ! ! @#@¥##¥#%...%*8923 (%¥...%]

The system felt dizzy for a moment, and the mechanical voice became stammered: 【Why, why? 】

Bai Yiling said: "Huh? It's nothing. In the past, there were few points and you had to survive, so you saved more points. Now that you have more points, if you have good things, let's share them together."

system:【! ! !Thank you, thank you Susu host. 】

Bai Yiling thought it was over, he really did bad things with good intentions, this won't give points and stutter a good system, right?

As he thought about it, he heard the system say:

[Again, remind the host again, the important plot characters in the front are coming and going #¥#@¥#%...]

Bai Yiling: "..."

Bai Yiling looked forward, and there were two people standing on the opposite side of the street.The man in the bodyguard's uniform held a paper umbrella in his hand, and the other handsome man was blocked under the umbrella. After turning around and seeing Bai Yiling, he waved his hand with a smile.

"Commander Bai."

Bai Yiling walked over and cupped his hands: "His Royal Highness Duke Huai."

At the beginning, Lu Yu had no entourage, but now there is an extra guard holding an umbrella for him. Obviously, these people are ambushing nearby to protect the safety of the fifth prince.

The guard saluted Bai Yiling respectfully, Lu Yu had already taken the umbrella from him, and said, "Go to the carriage and wait for me."

The paper umbrella covered the heads of the two, and a branch of red plum was sparsely drawn on it. Bai Yiling looked up and said to Lu Yu, "Has your Highness left yet?"

Lu Yu looked at him, the light of the lantern reflected in his black eyes, and he smiled brightly: "I was about to leave, but suddenly I saw someone, so I stopped, I didn't expect to meet you again."

He moved his umbrella slightly, and motioned forward. Bai Yiling followed Lu Yu's gaze, and saw a small stall standing alone in the snow by the candlelight at the door of the nearby shop. It has been vaguely covered with a thin layer of snow.

On a snowy day, it's already so late, and this fortune-telling stall is still on the side of the street.

Lu Yu laughed softly and said, "Just now I was aroused a little interest by that Zhang Ming, but there happened to be such a stall outside the door, so I did some calculations and found it very accurate, much better than that Taoist priest. Although you also I have studied this Tao, but people can’t count their own lives, should I let this old man take a look again?”

After Zhang Ming calculated the marriage for Mr. Zhu, he immediately performed a fortune-telling calculation for Bai Yiling, and the conclusion he drew was quite unlucky. However, a series of incidents such as the appearance of Yuelao and Zhang Ming's overturned car happened later. This is such a trivial matter. It was ignored by most people, and Lu Yu was still thinking about it, and he wanted to let Bai Yiling do the math again to cover this matter up.

The old man behind the booth was sitting on the stone steps in front of the door. Seeing the two handsome young men looking at him together, he quickly put a smile on his face and asked Bai Yiling attentively: "The old man's hexagrams are very accurate. , young master, do you want to count it in?"

Bai Yiling felt dizzy when he heard the word "fortune", but in the cold night, he couldn't bear to reject such an old man's earnest hope, so he paused, then nodded and walked over.

Bai Yiling didn't ask the price, and directly threw a piece of broken silver into the tin can next to the old man. He stretched out his hand, and the slender palm was soaked by the moonlight, giving it a jade-like luster.

He said: "Please old man, please show me the palmistry."

The old man held his hand and held it in front of his eyes, squinted his eyes for a long time, and said: "Life has been full of ups and downs, and the hardships of youth are gradually getting better. Although everything is not going smoothly, it is still a rare good luck. Congratulations, young master."

Bai Yiling twitched the corners of his lips.

The old man said: "This year is the year of [-]. It was originally the year of your wounded official, son. There is a catastrophe of life and death. If you fail, you will hurt your body and lose money, or you will die in chaos. You can't doubt the end of the world'. But the old man can see the young master here, which means that you have successfully survived this calamity."

Bai Yiling paused slightly, and asked, "And then?"

The old man laughed and said: "After the catastrophe, it is beneficial to seek success and wealth. It will be smooth and safe in the future, and you will be able to find a lover, love you all your life, and make up for the lack of kinship when you were young."

After finishing the last hexagram, the old man earned a lot of money, closed the stall contentedly, and went to rest at home behind the shop.

Bai Yiling was speechless for a while.

Seeing his expression, Lu Yu smiled and said, "It's the same with my hexagram just now. Both of them claimed to be accurate, but their statements are completely opposite. It can be seen that the destiny is still under their own feet."

He looked at the sky, and put the umbrella in his hand to Bai Yiling: "The so-called 'snow shadows and plum blossoms add spring, and the bird knows when it comes to announce the good news', the red plums are painted on the umbrella, and what the old man said fits the occasion. Give it to Commander Bai Let it go, I'm leaving."

Bai Yiling's heart moved slightly, seeing Lu Yu's carriage waiting for him not far away, but he really didn't need this umbrella, so he simply accepted it calmly: "Thank you, my lord, then I will take my leave first."

Lu Yu paused, holding a small bottle made of sapphire in his hand. He wanted to hand it to Bai Yiling, but then he remembered the slightly vigilant look he had when he received the jade pendant. He held it in his hand and carried it behind his back.

He smiled at Bai Yiling: "No."

Lu Yu got into the carriage, and opened the curtain to look out. Bai Yiling was holding an umbrella in his hand, and his back was gradually sinking into the night. The moonlight followed him reluctantly, and draped over his shoulders. lightly.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and the guard who held the umbrella just now bent over and got into the carriage. Seeing Lu Yu looking out, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Commander Bai is indeed a handsome young man, no wonder His Highness values ​​it. But my subordinate It seems that he may not be the kind of person who would believe in ghosts and gods, Your Highness, you even specially gave the old man a silver tael, and asked him to say something nice, just like coaxing a child."

His name is Shang Xiao, and he followed Lu Yu since he was a child, and came with him from the borderlands. He has a very close relationship and speaks casually.

Lu Yu glanced at him: "There is something special about fortune-telling. People say that what comes out of the fortune-teller's mouth is called a fate-telling. If you are not careful, you may answer it. At this time, you have to find another person to change it." Change. What do you know?"

He didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly, and he didn't see anyone praying to gods or worshiping Buddha, but he even believed this, Shang Xiao suppressed a smile, and quickly bent down and said: "Your Highness, you have seen people before, and what you said is correct."

Lu Yu: "Oh."

After he sneered, he suddenly remembered another matter and asked, "By the way, what happened to those scripts?"

Shang Xiao said: "You wrote a letter saying that most of the words on the market now insinuate officials in the DPRK and China, and it is inappropriate to ask for it to be destroyed. The emperor also handed over this matter to the Ministry of Rites. Master Fang knew it was your suggestion, and he was very considerate. I started to do it immediately, and I promise that it will not take a few days, and there will be no books left."

Lu Yu said: "Then before he copies all the scripts, buy me a few copies of 'Wild Ghosts' and bring them back and put them away, the ones with illustrations."

Shang Xiao: "...Yes."

The two exchanged a few words, Bai Yiling had completely disappeared, Shang Xiao leaned over, trying to cover the curtain of the car: "It's getting late, it's easy to catch cold, Your Highness, hurry back to your residence."

Before he finished speaking, a gust of cool wind mixed with snowflakes poured into the car, hitting the two of them head-on and face-to-face.Shocked by the coolness, Shang Xiao shivered violently, and a passerby couldn't help yelling in the distance: "Damn! What kind of wind is this, what kind of weather!"

Lu Yu said with a smile: "'The return wind is not a willow, and the broken jade is cast in the dark', Ruixue Liangye, very kind!"

Shang Xiao couldn't help but glanced at Lu Yu. He didn't read much, but he had heard of this poem written by the prime minister of the dynasty.

"Returning to the wind is not a willow, and I am throwing broken jade... I love the people beside the snow, and the head is white when it is covered."

An inexplicable feeling rose in his heart, but Lu Yu didn't seem to notice what he said. He leaned back on the comfortable cushion, closed his eyes and said, "Let's go."

It was windy and snowy outside, but the courtyard of a house in Lishi Hutong was warm and harmonious.Zhang Ming had already changed out of his worn-out robe, and was sitting at the table drinking and eating in a jacket.

Standing beside him was a young woman in her early twenties, with an ordinary appearance, a slightly haggard face, and a slightly bulging lower abdomen, as if she was pregnant.

Seeing that Zhang Ming was about to drink up a pot of wine, she warmed him up again, and at the same time persuaded him, "You've been unhappy since you came back today. Drinking with your breath in your heart will hurt your health, or Drink less."

Zhang Ming glared at his wife, and said angrily: "In this winter, you stay at home comfortably, and it's easy to talk. I was working outside to make a living, and I didn't even dare to say anything when I was angry. Why come back to drink two sips of wine and still listen to your ramblings?"

The young woman was not angry, she glanced at him cautiously, and asked, "Is business not good today?"

Zhang Ming completely lost the aloofness of being outside, stretched out his chopsticks to eat a peanut, and said angrily: "I didn't make any money, and I met a few rascals, who said that my calculations were not accurate—" —Damn it, there are times when they are struck by lightning. That kind of dude, all pretending to be human? Is it amazing? It's just a good father!"

He was so angry, but he refused to explain the specific reasons. The young woman only knew that her husband was doing divination for others to make a living, and Zhang Ming would not tell her about the rest, so she had nothing to comfort her, so she could only listen and serve in silence After the husband finished his meal, he went to rest.

She was pregnant, and the husband and wife slept in separate rooms. Zhang Ming lay in the middle of the night, and suddenly felt as if his body was being moved by someone, and his face was itchy.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and suddenly saw a human face so close, it was almost close to his own face!

The skin on the man's face was pale and almost lifeless, but his lips were as red as blood, as if he had just eaten raw meat, and a pair of dark eyes stared straight at Zhang Ming's face.

Zhang Ming just woke up from the dream of being promoted and getting rich. When he saw this person, he was shocked, and his whole body got goosebumps.

But he was only shocked for a moment, and he quickly reacted, and said in a cold voice: "There is no Yin Qi in your body, don't lie to me here! Who are you?"

The other party jumped back and gave a strange smile: "Ha, Brother Six is ​​right, you actually have two brushes. You earned a lot of money outside, and when you got home, you pretended to be poor to your pregnant wife, but It's so noble!"

Zhang Ming heard his malicious intentions, and tried to hide behind, but was pulled back by the other party by the collar, and a stack of bank notes fell from somewhere on his body, causing the other party to "tsk tsk" .

Zhang Ming watched helplessly as he picked up the bank note and accepted it in a grand manner, his heart was bleeding, he couldn't struggle, and finally panicked: "What the hell are you going to do?!"

The corners of the bright red lips curled up, and the speaker immediately slapped Zhang Ming's neck with a palm, "I'm here to invite you as a guest. Someone wants to give you a message, saying that it's not a gentleman's job to talk about people's right and wrong. , it’s better to scold in person, it’s more enjoyable.”

Zhang Ming didn't get dizzy when he struck down with his palm, but he couldn't move his body. He panicked, regretting that he didn't yell loudly just now, and could only watch helplessly as the talking "ghost-faced man" put himself into a big sack Li picked it up, then his head became dizzy, and his whole body was already vacated.

The person's body was bumping, and he led him all the way up the eaves and walls. In less than a cup of tea, the surrounding air suddenly warmed up, as if he had entered another house.

Zhang Ming was sleeping under the blanket, only wearing close-fitting clothes, but was dragged out and carried away by force, his face was already pale with cold along the way.After the man entered the room, he threw him to the ground. Zhang Ming's whole body was numb from the cold, and he couldn't even feel the pain.

A man's voice came with a chuckle: "You volunteered and said that you want to invite the Taoist priest to be a guest. How can you be so rude? Pour it out and watch the seats."

The voice was clear and lingering, very touching, and it sounded familiar.

Zhang Ming was trying to remember, when his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was thrown out of his pocket.Someone behind him hugged him around the waist, kicked and bent his knees, and put him in a sitting posture and placed him heavily on the chair. Only then did he unlock the acupoints for him. The series of movements were clean and neat, obviously well-trained.

He hurriedly looked forward, only to see a man in a silver-white brocade robe sitting beside the candle, with picturesque eyebrows and a smile on his lips, resting his chin on one hand, lazily looking at him.

"Bai... Commander Bai?"

Bai Yiling smiled and said, "It's me, the Taoist priest has a good memory."
