The big man is on the run

Chapter 70 Borrow a knife, kill yourself!
"Dongfang Daoist, I heard General Li say that you are good at calculation, please do the calculation for me, how many days will it take for me to enter Huayin City?"

In the tent of the military camp outside Huayin City, Yang Ding was talking to an old Taoist.

This person is not someone else, but the Taoist priest who was by Li Jue's side that day.

Obviously, many of the witches around Li Jue died, but this old Taoist appeared here with all the parts, and retreated from Li Jue's body, which already showed that the old Taoist had some skills.

At the very least, the ability to observe words and expressions should not be bad.

"Pin Daofei is a wandering warlock who talks nonsense. How can he calculate the fate of tens of thousands of people in this matter?"

Facing Yang Ding who was dressed as a Confucian, Dongfang Chen became arrogant instead, completely different from his image in front of Li Jue.

Don't say it, Yang Ding will do it.

Just like looking for the oldest one when looking for Chinese medicine, Dongfang Chen is wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, with an air of immortality, which immediately captivates Yang Ding.

If the old Taoist agreed straight away, Yang Ding would think that he was a liar instead.

"Poverty Taoist Dongfang Chen, named Yunlong, Pingyuan Dongfang Clan, is the descendant of Dongfang Shuo."

After the old Taoist reported his family background, Yang Ding's sitting posture became much more correct. He was born in Liangzhou, and whether he is a person or not, he recognizes his family background the most.

"Family teacher Zuo Ci."

Yang Ding couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up straight away, holding the old man's hand and complimenting him repeatedly.

"Master Immortal, this matter really cannot be counted?"

"Yes, but I am afraid that the poor will be backlashed by the secrets."

Yang Ding gave a slight signal, and immediately there were attendants offering gold cakes.

"Things outside the body are just dung."

Dongfang Chen didn't even look at it, but just took a look at Yang Ding's figure, and said: "Pindao is a divination for the general, and I ask the general to send someone to escort him to Zixiao Peak in Huashan, and get a piece of nanmu."

"What is it for?"

"Not to be said."

Yang Ding readily agreed, and after a while, having obtained the result of the hexagram, he happily set up a banquet for the newcomer under Guo Si's command.

"Three days, the immortal master said that I will be able to enter Huayin City in three days! At that time, as you wish, except Hongnong Yang's mansion, do not move, and the rest will be rewarded to the soldiers!"

Amid the booing from the generals, Yang Ding blushed and revealed with pride.

Just when the drinking was on the rise, a servant suddenly lifted the curtain and came in to talk with him.

After whispering, Yang Ding's face turned redder, even mixed with a little shock and doubt.

The attendant talked to him again, but Yang Ding just nodded repeatedly, while the generals around him had already pointed their heads curiously.

"You guys have a drink."

Yang Ding didn't say anything, and got up and left with his attendants.

Before leaving, Yang Ding deliberately put the seven-star sword that was always by his side on his waist.

Yang Ding hurried out of the gate with his attendants and guards, but outside the gate, Liu Yi had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Liu Yi Yiqi standing there alone, while the cavalry of the Forbidden Army were ten steps away, Yang Ding felt a little relieved.

Yang Ding rode forward without dismounting, but bowed on the horse.

Yang Ding looked at Liu Yi's expression and saw that Liu Yi was still smiling, so he also asked with a drunken smile.

"I don't know why His Majesty came here?"

"Announce the good news to General Yang."

Yang Ding was slightly taken aback, but what Liu Yi said next almost made him fall off his horse in shock.

"After the Battle of Zheng County, the ministers have made arrangements for awarding meritorious officials. Congratulations to General Yang, who is about to become a township marquis."

The title system of the Eastern Han Dynasty had kings, dukes, and marquises, and the kings and dukes were only crowned princes. The highest title that could not be obtained by the surname Liu was marquis.

Marquises are divided into Liehou and Guanneihou. Liehou has fiefs and food towns, which can be passed on to future generations, but Guanneihou does not.

The Marquis are further divided into three grades: County Marquis, Township Marquis, and Ting Marquis (historically, Guan Yu was Han Shouting Marquis, Zhuge Liang was Wuxiang Marquis, and Yuntai 28 designated these founding heroes as County Marquis). Tinghou was granted the title of Xianghou directly. How can Yang Ding not be surprised by this kind of treatment.

Fortunately, Yang Ding still maintained the last sane, he knew that what he did must have displeased the court, so he looked at the emperor's expression carefully in his heart, trying to see some clues.

In fact, what he did is big if you say it is big, and if you say it is not big, it is really not big.

Not to mention looting the common people, this is not considered a crime in the Xiliang army. If this standard is used to punish crimes, 99 out of [-] people will have their heads beheaded, leaving only one Hu Che who insists on eating and paying most of the time Son.

The most important thing, of course, was to deceive the court that Guo Bang had entered Duan Yao's city, and sent troops to attack Duan Yao without the court's permission.

The former is undoubtedly a bad lie, and it is the kind that is quickly exposed.As for the latter, it can be seriously defined as challenging the majesty of the court, or even attempting to rebel.If it is not serious, it can be regarded as a reckless move due to insufficient intelligence.

It all depends on how the parties judge.

"If it's a Marquis, His Majesty wouldn't come to inform the minister himself, would he?"

"there's one more thing."

Liu Yi restrained his smile, which made Yang Ding, who was a little dizzy from being hit by Fenghou's big pie, start to panic more and more.

"Today, Tai Shiling and the servant told me about Yinghuo Shouxin's divination."

When Yang Ding heard the word "divination", his heart started to flutter. Is there such a coincidence in the world?

Reminiscent of some so-called "destiny" rumors, Yang Ding was even more uncertain, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, but he lowered his head and was finally speechless.

"Tai Shiling and the eunuch told me a proverb, which I thought was a little strange, but I couldn't understand it, so I specifically asked General Yang about it."

"Please speak, Your Majesty." Yang Ding lowered his head even lower.

"Suddenly a lunatic sharpened his knife at night, and the emperor's star fluttered high."

Yang Ding finally couldn't sit on the horse safely, turned over and fell to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

"The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty."

"It's not about you, Yang Ding."

Liu Yi also got off his horse, helped Yang Ding up, and said with a smile: "It's just that the servant told me that I have to melt a precious sword to solve the hexagram. Li Jue has three precious swords, dragon teeth, tiger wings, and dog gods. Jue is definitely not willing to part with me. I heard that General Yang has a seven-star sword handed down from Grand Master Dong, so I don’t know if you would like to part with me so that I can ward off misfortunes and fortune-telling?"

Yang Ding hesitated, but this hesitation only lasted for a breath.

"I am willing."

Nonsense, sacrifice a knife in exchange for a township, a fool would disagree!

Liu Yi took the Seven Star Sword from Yang Ding and pulled out the sheath abruptly, scaring Yang Ding to his feet.

"Good knife."

Liu Yi smiled deeply, and said to himself: "I heard that when Cao Cao stabbed Grand Master Dong with this knife, the harsh sound of unsheathing awakened Grand Master Dong. Now it seems that it will not make people alert."
