Lan Ruochan

The maid in black gauze was silent the whole time, and no one else came forward to receive them.

After everyone had tidied up, Qingyun expressed that he would personally thank the captain, but all the maids in black gauze shook their heads and declined politely.

Qingyun didn't want to expose his identity by accident, so he stayed in the cabin with peace of mind.

Li Guizu boarded the deck several times to look at the road, and when he reached the fork of the Hun River, he turned back and went northward, indicating that the ship's destination was also Pingcheng, so the old man was relieved.

The east gate of Pingcheng is the water gate, and ordinary passenger ships have to put down all the guests when they arrive at the east port of the city for interrogation.

All the seals prepared by the wretched Taoist were soaked in water, and the handwriting was blurred and unrecognizable.

Situations such as drowning and thieves were common at that time.Usually, it is necessary to explain the situation to the generals defending the city, and ask them to pass some small money, and then report to the official office again and issue a temporary document.

It's just that before the temporary document is issued, the action is limited, and the delay is time-consuming.

In particular, the paperwork process involves dealing with many Pingcheng officials.

Yuan Chuntuo, Yuan Shisan County, Yang Dayan, Ren Shentong and even Qing Yun himself are not small people. If they happen to be recognized by someone, their plan to "sneak into" Pingcheng will be ruined.

Qingyun and the wretched Taoist were anxious, but they didn't dare to discuss too many details on this boat of unknown origin. They could only look at each other and communicate with each other using micro-expressions.

The two of them were in a state of apprehension when they suddenly heard the sound of the water gate opening, and the boat sailed into the city majestically.

Since Daowu established the capital, the Tuoba family has managed Pingcheng for a hundred years. The city walls are scattered and the gardens are densely covered.In particular, leading the river into the city and running the canals from north to south, which not only adds beauty to the garden, but also facilitates people's livelihood, can be described as a stroke of genius.

However, only official ships and registered water transport ships can pass through the rivers in the city.This ship can enter without inspection, and the background is extraordinary.

The boat finally stopped when it arrived at the Water Transport Wharf.Going further, it is the private residence of those Xianbei lords.

Another maid in black gauze came to lead the way, signaling that Qingyun and his party could disembark from the boat.When parting, the leading servant girl also stuffed a map into Qingyun's hands.

It seemed to be a map of Pingcheng, marked very carefully.The city gates of the streets, government offices, markets, mansions of adults, and temples and Taoist temples are all marked.

The names of Mutai Mansion and Chisong Temple are also impressive.

"Where should we go now?" Yuan Chuntuo asked.

Many Tuoba clans lived in Pingcheng, Yuan Chuntuo probably knew them all.But she came here to trouble Mu Tai, so naturally she cannot be seen through Xingzang.

"Let's go here and have a look first." Qingyun tapped on a mark on the map, as shown in the picture, it seems that it is not far from the Water Transport Wharf.

"Where is that place? Is it safe?" Yuan Chuntuo had been to Pingcheng several times, but he still couldn't recognize where the mark was.

Qingyun shook his head, "Although I don't know who that Mibu man is, I always feel a little familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before. He brought us directly into the city, and he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions. Moreover, The location of that mark is very good, across the river from the Chisong Temple where Brother Diao was imprisoned, and not too far from Mu Tai Mansion, you can see the backyard wall of Mu Mansion through an alley. Let's go check it out first."

Yuan Chuntuo took the map and confirmed it, then stopped objecting.

A few people dressed in power suits walked out of the pier swaggeringly.The soldiers in charge of guarding the pier not only did not step forward to question them, but also respectfully gave way to them when they passed by.

"I'll go, this black leather suit is so useful? Hey~ Didn't that person intentionally capsize our boat and change into this outfit for us so that we can move more easily? Shouldn't he?" Qingyun murmured to himself.

When they arrived at the marked place smoothly, Qingyun became more sure of his guess.

This is an empty house, although the door of the house is locked, it cannot stop Qingyun and his party.

Qingyun didn't choose to try to break the lock by force, there was no need for that at all.Any locks are useless in front of Kai...

Although it is an empty house, there is no shortage of water, rice, rations, clothing and tools, and even kerosene and firelight are stored in the two warehouses.

Boy, it's like saying to them: Come on, make it bigger and better!

"What does Mr. Li think about this?"

They planned to sneak into the tiger's den, but they didn't expect someone to help them arrange everything in advance. This kind of battle must be no good!

Back then when Qingyun first entered Luoyang, he was "arranged" by the crown prince to send him directly to the King of Wei.

As the saying goes, if you suffer, you will gain wisdom. This time, Qingyun was much more cautious.It is always wrong to learn from the elders first.

Li Guizu rolled his eyes, put his right hand in his sleeve and counted for a moment, then let out a long breath.

"How?" Qingyun asked again.

Li Guizu flicked his fingers, and pointed at Zu Yuzhi, "Let the child of the Zu family tell the story first, he can calculate faster than me. He has already done the calculation before I make the prediction."

The second brother is also counting?This was somewhat beyond Qingyun's expectation.

Zu's teacher inherited Huayang, so he is naturally proficient in spells, but according to Zu's family training, he probably doesn't believe the words of witch prophecies.

But the matter in front of him is indeed strange, and it is not unavoidable to be unreasonable, so he casually guesses the omen of good and bad.

"Auspicious in the midst of bad luck, it seems that there are more bad luck than few... Although Junzhi knows a little bit about spells, he uses very little, so it may not be safe to solve the hexagrams. It is better to let the teacher solve the confusion."

Li Guizu stroked his beard and nodded, "Well, the big difference is not bad. It's true that there are more bad things than good things... What I'm looking for now seems to be relatively smooth, but the cause and effect involved in this matter are extensive. The universe is turbulent, sages die, best friends turn against each other, Falling in love and killing each other... It's so intricate, with so many changes, the old Taoist couldn't figure it out for a while."

"Then what should we do?" Yuan Chuntuo was confused when he heard the words.

"Don't be afraid, just let nature take its course. Once it comes, you can rest in peace, so why bother with others." Qingyun finally made the final decision.

That day in Luodu, Qingyun was manipulated like a chess piece, but in fact he was not really manipulated by others.

When he first met King Wei, he made a choice.When he makes a choice, he ceases to be a mere pawn and becomes a chess player.

Chess pieces will not choose, but will only take the preset steps.And chess players will have their own choices at critical moments.

The universe is the scale, and the world is the son, so we can get a glimpse of the clues with magic numbers.But there are changes in it, because some chess pieces loosen and become chess players.

At that time, Prince Yuan Xun took advantage of King Wei's trip to summon generals, killed the censor, and took Luo Jing under his control.

But Qingyun's chess piece, his reserved ultimate move suddenly became the point of change, and finally made the prince fall short.

It wasn't that Qingyun dismantled the fate, nor was it Qingyun's fate that saved the real dragon.

Destiny can be fought.

The so-called destiny is the question, never the answer.
