Chapter 1886 Cai Ma's Secret

It is very difficult to become a famous master in Chang'an City.

It is easy to fool ordinary people, but it is much more difficult to fool high-ranking officials.

Li Shaojun hasn't even reached the realm of supernatural powers, and some of his tricks can be easily seen through by those with higher cultivation.

Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to gain influence in the imperial court.

"You are different from other recruited monks. You need to maintain a high reputation so that others will come to you for help!"

It can be said that Zhang Xuezhou’s contact with the new emperor was not too much, but it was also not too little.

He thought about every bit of his contact with the new emperor and the impact of the related interactions, and felt that Li Shaojun needed to be in a similar situation to himself in order to remain safe and worry-free.

The new Majesty has many advantages, but age is his biggest flaw.

It was very difficult for Li Shaojun to fool those high-ranking officials in the court who were in their sixties and seventies, but the new emperor was only twenty years old. Even though he was a member of the royal family and read a lot of books, there was still the problem of the disconnection between books and reality.

And the most important thing is that the new emperor needs to learn a lot. It is difficult for him to learn the extremely complicated fortune-telling skills for ordinary people, and it is difficult for him to see through Li Shaojun's aging skills.

As for Li Guang who is beside the new emperor, it is better not to mention him. He has difficulty improving even his close combat martial arts, and he is also analyzing the Jade Purity Art. It is difficult for him to have enough energy to practice other things.

"If he is young and ignorant, and I just need to fool him, then I may be able to do it," Li Shaojun whispered, "but how can I have such a chance to meet him alone?"

"You came at the right time!"

Zhang Xuezhou pursed his lips slightly.

It is possible that he could create an opportunity for Li Shaojun to come into contact with the new emperor.

His Majesty liked to go out of the palace under the pseudonym of Marquis Pingyang, and ride in the carriage of Marquis Pingyang's mansion to check out various places in Chang'an City. He also came to Zhang Xuezhou's place often.

In this case, as long as certain arrangements are made, the probability of Li Shaojun and the new emperor meeting by chance will be very high.

If the new emperor is not particularly busy, he will most likely leave the palace and come to Zhang's house in the next two days.

"I didn't realize you have such a good relationship with His Majesty!"

Li Shaojun looked slightly surprised, and felt that the relationship between Zhang Xuezhou and the new emperor was too close.

The Han emperor was in danger without knowing it. If the news leaked and someone targeted him, they would only need to ambush the new emperor once to make the other party regret it for the rest of their lives.

Li Shaojun's eyes rolled around, obviously he was thinking of an idea, which he would need to be used in the next two days.

"Then we'll see you in two days!"

He thought for a long time and completely overturned his plan to come to Chang'an City. After he felt a hint of the solution in his mind, Li Shaojun quickly strode out of Zhang's house.

"This person was whispering to you secretly. It's obvious that he doesn't look like a good person!"

The things that Li Shaojun and Zhang Xuezhou discussed were enough to get them head lost, but they didn't chat nonsense in public.

Only after Li Shaojun left did Zhang Xuezhou walk out of the temporarily occupied study room.

"That person just recommended me a few spacious and bright houses. I was planning to go to Jingzhao Yinfu to take a look and buy two more houses for our convenience!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at Cai Ma who was chattering towards him and felt that Cai Ma was an unstable factor. If Cai Ma caused trouble by his chattering, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would not know how to cry.

He thought about sending Cai Ma away and spending money to buy peace.

Zhang Xuezhou said this casually, and seeing Cai Ma's happy face, he quickly changed his words and praised Li Shaojun for doing practical things.

"Cousin, cousin?"

Zhang Xuezhou called out twice, and only Rong Tianding responded from the next room.

"Why did you go to Boss Di's house?" Zhang Xuezhou called out, "Let's go to Jingzhao Yinfu to pick out a house first!"

"Boss Di wants to sell the house!"

Rong Tianding responded from Di Rang's house, which made Zhang Xuezhou feel strange. He quickly went out and turned into Di's house.

"Why is Boss Di selling the house?"

Zhang Xuezhou was startled and looked at Di Rang who was drinking tea with Rong Tianding in the living room. "Master Dongfang, please take a seat quickly," Di Rang said.

"Thank you!"

"This young lady, please take a seat too!"

Di Rang looked at Zhang Xuezhou, then looked at Cai Ma behind Zhang Xuezhou, and also politely gave up a seat.

"His face is red, and he looks tired and exhausted. He is 65 years old, but his life span is not over yet. He may have died of anger!"

Cai Ma's mumbling occupational disease gave Zhang Xuezhou a headache.

Of course, he also knew that this was Cai Ma's practice, just like he needed to see many people to practice the art of fixing people. The more people he saw, the better the effect would be.

Zhang Xuezhou used to think that one must meet thousands of people before one can practice the art of identifying people, and one must also set up formations of all sizes before one can practice the art of identifying acupuncture points. But after taking the high-end route, Zhang Xuezhou seldom did this kind of diligent practice, not to mention developing an occupational disease from practice.

"Boss Di, don't worry about her. She is still thinking about her fortune telling and angrily accepting the result!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed at Cai Ma, and seeing that the other party was about to open his mouth to argue, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but stretch out his hand and nod slightly.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will go back to Kunlun and tell the Emperor and Empress that you ate a dancing little man in the Holy Land!"

A strange look flashed across Zhang Xuezhou's eyes.

His cultivation was at the Transformation Realm, and Cai Ma was also at the Transformation Realm. Zhang Xuezhou did not expect to see through Cai Ma when he used the finger-pointing technique. He just repeated Cai Ma's operation to let the other party know the troubles brought by occupational diseases in cultivation.

But Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect that he actually peeked at some of Cai Ma's memory fragments.

This made him look Cai Ma up and down several times, and he felt that he had figured out why Cai Ma was accepted into the Kunlun Holy Land to practice the art of life.

If his guess was correct, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Cai Ma's talent in cultivation might not come from himself, but from the influence of that strange little man, just like Lei Zhenzi, the predecessor of "The Art of the Clouds", who changed his fate with a fruit.

He whispered to Cai Ma, which made Cai Ma's eyes widen and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

This is the biggest secret in Cai Ma's heart. She has the qualifications to practice, but they are not top-notch qualifications. She was accidentally accepted into the Kunlun Holy Land to practice life skills. Cai Ma feels that the reason for this is inseparable from the fruit.

Suddenly, Zhang Xuezhou whispered to her the anxiety that had never been put aside in her heart. Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she felt a little more scared. For a moment, she dared not say anything more.

"Why is Boss Di thinking of selling the house?"

After eliminating the unstable factor of Cai Ma, Zhang Xuezhou formally began to ask Di Rang.

"This... alas..."

Di Rang took a sip of tea and sighed repeatedly.

"Old Di is in trouble," Rong Tianding said, "Someone has taken a fancy to the inn he runs, and someone wants him to give it up!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhang Xuezhou originally thought that Rong Li and others' use of violence to occupy the pig-slaughtering stall was an extremely primitive and uncontrollable behavior. He did not expect that such a thing would also happen in Chang'an City.

"That Gu Lao Er has an official family behind him, and he has a group of people under him. They do nothing but block outside my inn and make trouble. No one can even get in." Di Rang said, "I found out after some investigation that someone has taken a fancy to the land of the inn and wants me to sell it legally!"

"Isn't this forcing people to do business?" Zhang Xuezhou frowned and asked, "Didn't Boss Di report it to the police?"

"The government can't control those hooligans walking around outside the inn," Di Rang said helplessly, "In Chang'an, as long as you make money from business, you will be easily targeted. I don't have anyone to back me up, so it's not surprising that they bully me, but it just happened earlier than I thought!"

"His business there has come to an end," Rong Tianding said, "It will be inconvenient to prepare food in the inn if he continues to do this. It will take a lot of time to go back and forth, and Lao Di will lose money every day!"

"Then what do you think about selling the house? Can selling the house solve the problem?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

"I want to sell the house to raise some money for the gift." Di Rang nodded and said, "As long as my son is transferred back to Chang'an City to be an official, it will open up some links and they will be more restrained!"

"When Lao Di heard that we wanted to buy a house recently, he came up with the idea of ​​collecting money for a gift," Rong Tianding said, "I sympathize with Lao Di's situation, but Lao Di wants 180 taels of silver to sell the house, which is almost the highest price. Who can sell it at this price!"

Rong Tianding talked for a while, which made Zhang Xuezhou finally understand the whole story.

He was originally very sympathetic to Di Rang's troubles, but he felt uncomfortable having to pay a high price to buy the house himself.

This made him quickly throw away the little sympathy in his heart and quickly join the bargaining camp.
