On the day the empress ascended the throne, my body was hung at the city gate

Chapter 23 Long time no see, Master National Preceptor

"The heart is bright and everything is auspicious. Don't follow the left path to lose yin and yang. Usually, you can secretly distinguish between the good and the foolish, and the five elements and eight characters will generate your destiny."

"The sky is full of spirits, the earth is full of spirits, I am the best fortune teller in the world..."

"Master, Master! I finally found you. The bloody disaster you planned for my boy a while ago has indeed come true."

"Thankfully, the master gave me some advice, otherwise my grandson would have been gone long ago."

On a bustling street in the bustling city, an old beggar with gray hair and childish face sat in his twilight years. He ignored the people coming and going in front of him and just chanted a jingle to attract customers.

On the wooden sign in front of him are written the four characters "divine and clever calculation".

At this moment, a man suddenly knelt down in front of the old beggar's stall and thanked him with tears in his eyes, which attracted the attention of the people around him, attracted by this scene.

"There is no need to thank you for being a kind guest. Your boy has already been blessed with great blessings. Now that he is extremely blessed, the days to come will be smooth sailing and without any disasters."

"I'm just collecting people's money to eliminate disasters for them."

It was only then that the old beggar raised his head slightly, glanced at the kneeling man and said in a noble manner.

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance. Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

The man was excited again and kowtowed several times.

"Is this old beggar's divination really that good?"

Passers-by who saw this scene were all eager to try it out.

"Well, it's only ten cents anyway. I'd rather believe that it's there than that it's not. Master, give me a hexagram."

"Give me a hexagram too."

"I'll give you [-] cents. Let me do the math first."

In the crowd, some people gradually shouted out their bids.

"I'll give you thirty coins, who's going to rob me?"

someone called.

"Fifty cents, I'll give you fifty cents."

Someone continued to shout.

"51 Wen, I will pay 51 Wen."

"One hundred cents!"

"One thousand Wen!"

Unconsciously, the original ten texts and one hexagram increased a hundred times in just a few breaths.

The streets were full of passers-by jostling for the first place.

But the man who was crying bitterly and the passerby who was the first to raise the price quietly looked at each other in the crowd and showed a successful smile.

"Master, why are these people so easy to deceive? With just a few words, I handed over all my money."

A few hours later, the old beggar, who had already changed his appearance, appeared in the most luxurious restaurant in the city with two young men who were full of cunning.

With the Gua gold obtained through deception during the day, his mouth is full of oil.

At this time, the old beggar completely lost the fairy spirit he had on the busy streets of the city before. He was holding a roast chicken with both hands and chewing it until his mouth was full of oil.

Hearing what the two apprentices said, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Those who eat must have a food support, and those who drink must have a wine support. People always only want to believe in what they see with their own eyes."

"As long as you remember this, from kings and generals to traffickers and pawns, there is no one in the world who cannot be deceived."

Having said this, the old beggar touched his gray beard rather show off.

"Lying is also a kind of knowledge. Read more and learn more. If you can learn one-tenth of the skills of a teacher, it will be enough for you to benefit for life. You can travel all over the world. I don't expect that when I was a teacher..."

Seeing his master, he started talking about the glorious past of those years.

Both apprentices curled their lips in disbelief.

They know very well about their master. This is a typical person who brags and never drafts.

Apart from cheating and kidnapping on the streets, what kind of great prospects can people like them have?

But in a sense.

This master of my own has indeed mastered the art of deception to the pinnacle.

After all, he had even deceived himself.

"Hmph, don't talk about a thousand words. I would have thought that in those days, a hexagram for my master would be hard to come by, and emperors would flock to it like birds of prey." "People who asked for a hexagram for my master would be lined up from the royal city."

The old beggar seemed drunk, his face was red and he was talking non-stop.

"Back then, my teacher's words shocked the whole world. Tens of thousands of teachers came to court, and everyone in the civil and military circles of the court did not shun him or disrespect him."

"Now that I think about it, my heroic spirit as a teacher was as glorious as the rising sun and the moon."

"Master Master"

The two apprentices' trembling words interrupted the old beggar's complacency.

"What you said about the thousands of troops coming to court, is it like this now..."

Following the direction of the two apprentices' fingers, the old beggar looked up and stood there for a moment.

I saw that the streets, which were originally bustling with people, were actually silent at this moment.

Groups of soldiers wearing armor, holding spears and spears, looking majestic.

The astonishing energy and blood gathered together, like smoke rising into the sky, ghosts and gods dispelling changes!Surround the restaurant.

In front of the gate, soldiers and generals knelt down on both sides of the road in an orderly manner according to their official positions, with solemn and respectful expressions.

At this time, a tall young woman slowly walked over.

She wore a long black dress embroidered with golden dragons and nine-section cloud boots.

Her long, black and beautiful hair was tied into a bun, and she wore a phoenix hairpin, which made her look graceful, noble, and charming.

There is no doubt that the other party's identity is Wu Mingyue, the new empress of the Zhou Dynasty.

"Master, your hexagram is really so clever, why don't you give it to me?"

And right now.

A joking and slightly teasing male voice sounded beside the old beggar.

The moment he heard this voice, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, his eyes moved upward, and his eyes turned red instantly after seeing the face clearly.

"Untouchable Li Ergou pays homage to the general."

In an instant, the old beggar fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed heavily.

"Without the general, Li Ergou would never have a chance to get ahead. The general's kindness will never be forgotten by Li Ergou."

Looking at Taoist Qingyang who was kneeling on the ground, the man also had a look of nostalgia in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself and said calmly.

"I'm here to take you on your way."

The old beggar was stunned when he heard these words, as if he did not expect that the man in front of him would say such words.

But he quickly reacted and smiled bitterly.

"Without the support of the general, Li Ergou would have died. If the general wants it, just take it."

After that, he closed his eyes and calmly accepted the final outcome.

.........

"No, I'm late."

By the time Wu Mingyue walked into the restaurant, it was already empty.

There were only two frightened and stupid young people left, and a table of uneaten food.

Someone took action in advance and kidnapped the national master Qingyang!
Although I don’t want to believe it, the facts are already before my eyes.

Gu Changsheng is most likely not dead yet, and has been hiding in the dark, spying on his movements.

The other party is deliberately erasing the truth.

Thinking of this, Wu Mingyue's eyes flashed with awe-inspiring murderous intent.

The crimes committed by this traitorous minister are too numerous to describe.

Even killing him a hundred times a thousand times would not be enough to offset the sin.

Now he is trying to whitewash himself in this way.

Wu Mingyue would never allow it, so she immediately spoke coldly.

"Send the order, seal the city gate, and don't let out a single insect. Today, even if there are immortals to help me, I will make it impossible for Gu Changsheng to escape."
