Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 60 The Tao is Ruthless
Following the voice, Huo Mingzhu looked sideways, and the first thing she saw was a black hand, then a ragged clothes, and then a head of disheveled hair, a dark face and a mouthful of gleaming white teeth.

She was indeed right, that black hand was holding the bamboo stick she was throwing, her white teeth were exposed because of her stupid smile, and because she was so close, Huo Mingzhu didn't react for a while, no matter how bold she was, she couldn't Frightened, he took a step back.

"Oh, miss, did you scare you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose!" The man hurried forward to help her, but then remembered that his hands were very dirty, so he didn't dare to rush forward, but passed the bamboo stick over, Said: "Miss, don't get me wrong, although I'm dirty, but I'm also dirty with connotations! Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm here to help people sign papers, not beggars from the beggar gang! Seeing that Miss has drawn a marriage lottery, I want to help Miss out, but Miss's lottery is not a good omen, it is actually a lottery!"

As the "black man" said, he looked carefully at the lottery in his hand again, curled his lips in disgust and said, "I've been standing here for a long time, and it's the first time I've seen someone draw a lottery. Miss, your marriage is very good." Really back!"

Huo Mingzhu found it inconceivable that this "black man" took her lottery and came to criticize her marriage. It was the first time she had encountered such a mentally ill person at such an age.

It was probably getting late, and because the temple fair in the city had already started, the crowds in Huguo Temple had dispersed a lot, and the Guanyin Temple, which was still crowded just now, suddenly did not only have her and this "black man" left.

Huo Mingzhu didn't intend to seek marriage at first, and there is no difference between the upper lottery and the lower lottery, but she just wanted to ask what happened, so she stood up calmly, smiled at the "black man": "Since Mr. If you have the ability to solve this lot for me, if you make a lottery, is there any way to save it?"

"This...then I'll give it a try, don't charge for it!" The "black" beggar-like gentleman scratched his head, turned the bamboo stick to the back, and read to the sign: "The sun rises in the east and the sun rises in the west. Rain, there is no sunshine but there is sunshine... Look, miss, there is sun in the east and heavy rain in the west, it looks sunny but it rains again, thinking that it is raining and sunny again, that is to say, miss, you are in marriage The general will face a choice. The person who thinks you are good is actually a fake, and the person who thinks you are not good may be your final destination. You have to look carefully at people, but don’t be too Self-righteous, who knows which one is the one who loves you the most? You won’t be able to figure it out until the clouds and mists are cleared! But what is certain is that the men who appear by your side today don’t have any good intentions..."

The "black man" talked more and more vigorously, all the saliva jumped on Huo Mingzhu, and he was still talking, holding only a bamboo stick, he was able to talk so that the sky and the earth were dancing wildly.

Suddenly there was a sound of "bang", a big broom called towards the head of the "black man", and slapped him on the neck unambiguously. The "black man" immediately rolled under the Guanyin seat and screamed.

"You liar! Charlatan! What nonsense! You dare to cheat on my lady in public, and see if I don't break your leg!"

I saw Su Hui waving a big broom and beating that man cursingly, cursing without showing any weakness: "The man next to my lady is the most uneasy man! You are poor and worthless, relying on grabbing the girl's lottery Wen is here to eat! Seeing how good your hands and feet are, you are simply disabled! This girl will beat you until you find your teeth everywhere!"

Su Yu really deserved to be the most pungent person in the border town, she beat the "black man" and fled in all directions, unable to dodge in time, she had to run around the Guanyin Hall.

While running, the "black man" still did not forget to defend himself, and said in the direction of Huo Mingzhu: "Miss, what I just said below is true! The man next to you is not a good person, the more attentive he is to you, the more He has bad intentions, don’t like him! Don’t get caught up in it! Even if he is a high-ranking and talented person, it’s just an illusion! You’ll see it after a long time! You have to look more, don’t be fooled!”

The more Huo Mingzhu listened, the more something was wrong. What this "black man" said earlier was ambiguous and pointless, but now he just told her without naming her name that the person who will betray her and the person she should hate is Bai Bai. Li Zongru.

Or maybe she is supercilious, people who have died once are always more sensitive, and can't help but carefully speculate on the words of others, and then apply the thoughts in their hearts to that person.

"Miss, open your eyes wide. You are so beautiful. It's too late for many people to like you. You don't need to ruin yourself for one or two small flowers. Beauty is born to be admired by others, but Miss, you can only look at it from a distance. You can’t be obscene, so be careful not to be swayed by others! Miss, please stop your girl, if she hits again, I will curse you with witchcraft!” The black man was determined to go all out, Su While Li was beating, he was running, making a fuss around the entire Guanyin Hall.

"Forget it, I'm really unlucky today, I don't want the fortune-telling money! Don't make it! I'll go! I'll die!" The "black man" was finally chased too far, so he saw the right time and walked out from the back door of the Guanyin Temple. Slipped out, and after a while, there was no shadow left.

Sulu was also tired, so she didn't chase after her anymore, holding a big broom in her hand, panting heavily, bent down to pick up the sign left by the "black man", walked up to Huo Mingzhu and said, "Don't Listen to his nonsense, miss, there are too many charlatans these days! If he was really a scholar, he wouldn’t be in trouble like today. They all say that literati have the most integrity, and he doesn’t even have a bone. He also said that he can read and write, bah You know how to lie to eat and drink! It would be kind of you not to send him to see the official today!"

Sulu looked at the signed letter in her hand, and read out word by word: "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, but it is ruthless but sunny...Miss, isn't this poem very good? Even if it doesn't go well for a while, it will eventually be Turning around, where did he sign the contract? What a big liar, full of nonsense! Let me catch him next time, he looks good! Miss, don’t take that liar’s words to heart .”

Huo Mingzhu smiled, she didn't care about it at first, it was because Su Yu and that "black man" made too much fuss.

"What liar?"

A voice sounded from outside the Guanyin Hall, Su Ling looked out, and when she saw someone coming, she hurriedly said: "Ninth... Ninth Prince..." She was still holding a big broom in her hand, she looked like a real shrew.

Baili Zonglu stepped into the palace gate, smiled at Sulu and said, "What is Sulu doing? Your lady is here to draw lots, do you need this kind of protection?"

He didn't want Su Ling to reply either, his phoenix eyes had already moved to Huo Mingzhu, and he looked at her with a smile: "Ah Jin, it doesn't matter what lottery you draw, it's just a vain show, why should you take it to heart? Even if it's a lottery, This king can also resolve it."

Huo Mingzhu didn't want to see Baili Zonglu, especially in this Guanyin Hall, facing the marriage tree covered with red silk outside.The memories of those three years are deeply engraved in her heart, and they are all memories of her alone. In the whole world, no one understands her complicated thoughts about Baili Zonglu—the person she loved is right in front of her eyes, and he is now... Her deep-seated enemy, who seemed ignorant of all pretense, continued to deceive her with a gentle and harmless appearance.

In fact, that lunatic "black man" gave Huo Mingzhu some reminders. The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. There is no sunshine but there is sunshine. He only said that the ruthless people are men who love her and deceive her. Why can't they be her? Own?

If you want not to be deceived and continue to be passively bewitched, why not simply compromise, simply take the initiative, and be the invisible yesterday's sunny day today's rain?

"Follow me to see the temple fair. Ah Jin has lived in the border city for a long time. I'm afraid she has never been anywhere when she comes back this time?" Baili Zonglu invited.

Huo Mingzhu put away her usual indifferent expression, looked up at Baili Zonglu, with a beautiful smile on her lips: "Okay, I will listen to the prince."

Her voice was so soft for the first time, without a trace of resistance, she really let herself be possessed by a woman who fell into the mire of love in her previous life, telling herself that what she was facing was her lover, Brother Nine, and not the cruel and merciless Prince Duan.

Baili Zonglu didn't expect that Huo Mingzhu would answer so simply, but he raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, touching Huo Mingzhu's smile, his heart moved for no reason, those deliberate jokes subsided a lot, Jian Mei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Ah Jin is much better this time."
