Peerless little Shennong

Chapter 1221 News from the Fortune Teller

"General, I can't take it for you to arrange such a difficult task for me right after I took office," Lu Xiaobei said in a dazed tone.

"I believe you, you are much more powerful than I imagined. I read your information carefully on the way back to the imperial capital. Not to mention anything else, I hope you can also respect the household registration system in Tianqidu, and that The organization of the police station, you are not an easy person." Zhang Xueliang said with a smile.

Lu Xiaobei was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Zhang Xueliang to keep his information in his hand, Zhang Xueliang, who looked carefree on the surface, was actually such a careful person.

"It seems that the general has made up his mind. If so, then I will accept this task!" Lu Xiaobei could only say so.

"Just tell me what you need me to do. The Zhenwu Continent cannot fall into the hands of the Nine Princes, and the Apocalypse City also needs to be remodeled. I look forward to your transformation of the Apocalypse Capital." Zhang Xueliang patted Lu Xiaobei on the shoulder to cheer him up .

Accepting such a mission on the first day after settling in Tianqi Capital, Lu Xiaobei felt so sad.

I thought I would take Lingya to take a stroll around Tianqi Capital today, but now I can only postpone it.

Zhang Xueliang arranged a separate large courtyard for Lu Xiaobei, which was separated from the Zhang's courtyard.

A few maidservants were arranged, and more than a dozen soldiers were also sent, guarding the gate, guarding the house, each performing their duties.

The matter of making the bed was left to Lingya. With Lingya around, Lu Xiaobei saved a lot of trouble. It is actually beneficial to have a woman by his side.

Standing in the new study room, Lu Xiaobei rubbed his chin and stared at a large map of Tianqi Capital, thinking.

He has read the map several times, but his mind is not on the map, he is thinking about how to investigate the woman favored by the emperor.

There is very little information at hand, and more research is needed.

Lu Xiaobei called one of his men to come in, and asked some gossip about the woman.

These news are somewhat exaggerated, so Lu Xiaobei needs to carefully screen them out.

This servant didn't tell the whole story, and Lu Xiaobei didn't dare to ask in depth, after all, this matter is of great importance, and it's not good to have extra problems.

Lu Xiaobei is going to go out for a walk. If you want to get accurate news in Wangu Town, you can go to the teahouse. There are many people from the rivers and lakes there. Drink a few bowls of tea and listen to storytelling. In less than an hour, you can hear a lot of news.

What about the gangsters, what news from the government, etc.

Lu Xiaobei felt that since Tianqi is so big, there should be such a place, so he called a follower to follow him, said hello to Lingya and went out.

Lingya didn't follow either, she just moved to this place, the house needs to be tidied up, she has to play the role of a good wife and mother.

The person traveling with me was a book boy, very young, only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Shutong is very popular in Zhenwu Continent, and most of them are orphans.

This bookboy doesn't even know his own surname, only one baby name is Juanpi.

"Master Guard, the carriage is ready."

Although Juanpi is only 13 years old, he has grown up very quickly. This kid should have entered puberty relatively early, and he has many pimples on his face.

The voice changer must have arrived, but at a young age, it makes a more vicissitudes of voice.

"Let's go riding!" Lu Xiaobei didn't want to be too ostentatious.

"Then Juanpi to lead the horses." Juanpi went to the stable to pick out two horses.

Taking the book boy's scroll, Lu Xiaobei left the mansion and walked towards the downtown area along the alley in front of the door.

Along the way, there are many luxury carriages out in carriages. The weather in Juyue is not very cold, the sun is shining brightly, and the pedestrians on the street are bathed in the warmth of the sun.

Juanpi took the guard to a teahouse in the downtown area of ​​Tianqi Capital.

This teahouse is very famous in Tianqi, the main reason is that the storyteller here is relatively famous.

Juan Pi said that this storyteller knows astronomy first and geography second, and the stories he tells are things that everyone has never heard before, including legends of tomb robbers and biographies of famous people.

Lu Xiaobei also has a general understanding of the books on Zhenwu Continent, and is willing to listen to these anecdotes.

After entering the teahouse and asking for a seat, Lu Xiaobei found that there were quite a lot of guests here.

Seats are divided into elegant seats and ordinary seats.

The private seat is the seat near the storytelling table on the second floor, where you can see the storyteller up close. The ordinary seats are all downstairs and scattered.

The private seats were full, so Lu Xiaobei had no choice but to ask Juan Pi for a separate seat.

I ordered tea, which is a kind of local tea called Daqing tea.

In fact, after coming here, Lu Xiaobei can designate this tea as green tea.

The storytelling started soon, Mr. Storyteller was wearing a long gray gown, and with a start, he started with a crisp sound.

After listening for a while, Lu Xiaobei knew that he was talking about General Meng Tian.

Lu Xiaobei said to Juanpi: "Go find a well-informed person, I want to ask something."

Jupi nodded and left his seat.

After a while he brought a fortune teller from outside.

The fortune-teller had a long beard and held a sign in his hand. He set up a fortune-telling stall outside the teahouse.

Fortune tellers like this can hit a bunch of them with a stick thrown out by Tianqi, and they can be seen everywhere in many alleys.

"Sit down!" Lu Xiaobei greeted the fortune teller and sat down.

"This little brother can't be seen from the face, the face of Qingyun."

"Well, put away your tricks first, I'll ask you some things, and you'll be rewarded if you answer well." Lu Xiaobei has no interest in fortune-tellers fooling people.

"The old man must know everything, what do you want to ask?" The fortune teller also saw that this person was extraordinary.

"Have you heard about that woman in the imperial capital?" Lu Xiaobei asked in a low voice.

When the fortune teller heard this, he immediately looked around, leaned closer to Lu Xiaobei's body and said in a low voice, "I can't say this, maybe I will be beheaded."

Lu Xiaobei gave Juanpi a look, and Juanpi took out a few silver coins from his purse and handed them to the fortune teller.

The other party burst into laughter when he saw this, collected the silver coins, and said in a low voice: "The favored woman next to the emperor was arranged by the Ninth Prince..."

"Tell me something I don't know!" Lu Xiaobei stared.

"That woman is a demon, a fox demon!"

"you sure?"

"It's true. I heard a cook in the palace say that this cook delivered firewood to the palace. He stayed in the back kitchen of the palace when he was late that night. When he got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, he saw a white The smoke drifted in, and then he saw a woman flashing out of the white smoke, and the man saw with his own eyes that the woman coming out of the white smoke sucked a man into a body."

"What happened to that guy?"

"Dead, scared to pee on the spot, ran out of the palace screaming, died before reaching home."

"Is there any news about that woman?"

"Isn't this enough? The fox demon, or the white fox demon." The fortune teller said under his throat, "The white fox is the most powerful fox demon, and ordinary spells can't deal with it."
