"Master, is there something weird here? Why does it feel wrong?" A middle-aged veteran looked at the person next to him with the same expression and said with confusion.

"Well, you can see it is true. This place is a layout laid out by experts. The formation is so majestic that even a teacher cannot step out of this formation. It seems to be completely natural, especially those trees that are rooted in the earth.

In it, let the energy of the earth breed in it, and the formation is constantly changing, so it is useless to just look at one kind of thing, what is needed is a thorough understanding, it is difficult."

In the eyes of the two of them, this strange place seemed so illusory, yet so real, and very interesting. However, they could not perceive the real side, and they felt a little unhappy in their hearts.

"Master, why don't we go in and have a look? I think according to the reputation of the master, he should be treated with great courtesy." He immediately suggested it, feeling quite itchy in his heart. What kind of place is this? It's so magical.

"Now we can only hope so. Let's go and see what's different about this area."

Don't think that the distance between the two of them is very close. In fact, they are seen from the top of a relatively distant mountain. It is because of the strangeness that they are interested and want to go and check it out to see what the situation is like.

Soon they came to the nearby area, and just as they were about to go in, they were stopped by the people in front of the boundary monument: "This is the private boundary of Yunei Xiaoyao Villa. Two Taoist priests, please don't embarrass us, please go back."

The two of them didn't expect to be stopped here, and they were a little embarrassed. But you were right, this was someone else's private territory, and they weren't anyone, so why should they be allowed in? They stood there awkwardly for a while.

.

"Little hat, what's going on? Who are they?" A man on horseback came out of the forest path and asked loudly.

"Captain, I don't know where they came from. They wanted to enter the village, but they didn't have an invitation or explanation. They stopped them immediately after telling them."

When the captain heard this, he looked like two Taoist priests, and his aura suddenly relaxed. You must know that these years, they have either practiced martial arts or practiced martial arts. For them, reading and practicing calligraphy are just supplements. As long as they can understand the characters and write them, they will be fine.

, they don’t pay much attention to high-level culture, so they are much more aggressive. Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of the caravan, they often replace the escorts, which naturally has a bloody atmosphere.

The two Taoist priests knew something was different as soon as they felt it. The people here are definitely not good. If they don't fight well, they might be killed. Now they feel carelessness, and the owner of the village also looks at it.

He is not a simple character.

"I'm really sorry. It's really the fault of the two masters and disciples. The Feng Shui pattern here is definitely one of the best, so I couldn't help but come here to take a look. Now that I know it, I don't need to take a look.

, I hope you don’t mind it.” The man called Master quickly apologized with a very sincere attitude.

In this case, the captain could no longer pursue the case and said slowly: "In that case, you two can just do what you want."

Without saying much, the two of them knew that they would never be allowed to enter the village, so they had no choice but to bow their heads and thank them, and left quickly.

When no one could be seen in the villa, the two of them felt relieved.

"Master, what on earth is this place? Why is there such a tough person, and it seems very reasonable."

"How does this poor Taoist know? Come on, let's go into the city and learn about it. Maybe we can get the answer."

So the two of them entered Hedong City, quickly found a restaurant and went in, ordered some vegetarian dishes, and planned to hear if there was any news. If there was really no news, they would try to find out more about the situation.

As expected, when I wanted to hear news about Yunei Xiaoyao Villa, I heard another part.

"I really didn't expect that the owner of the villa is so powerful. Even the current emperor praised him so much that he specially designated the area of ​​​​the villa as a permanent private estate. Isn't it really amazing?"

"What do you know? You have to know that I originally wanted to make the owner of the village a national advisor, but the owner didn't pay any attention to it. Those people couldn't get in even if they wanted to. They could only ignore the will. That's called bullshit.

Nowadays, no one in Hedong knows the name of the village owner."

"Oh, do you know the name of the owner?"

The person who was bragging just now shrank, lowered his head, drank to himself, and stopped talking.

"The name of the owner of the village seems to have never been mentioned, but everyone calls him the owner of the village. No one from other big families in Hedong dares to call him that. They either avoid it or just change the name. It's really amazing and awesome. We in Hedong

's idol."

"That's right, that's right, if it weren't for the owner of the village, Hedong would still be in a state of disgrace by the rebels. How could there be such a good life now? I just want to enjoy the incense of the people for generations to come. I wish him a long life."

Good, so that we ordinary people can live in peace and safety. Come on, let's drink to the owner of the village. Let's do it."

"Do it." Everyone did not hesitate at all, showing the goodwill and joy deep in their hearts.

"Hey, master, what's going on? It doesn't seem to be as bad as you thought. How about you tell your fortune?"

The master thought about it and was right. He immediately took out a few pennies and started to calculate. Just as he was about to throw the copper coins, he was crushed by an invisible force. He couldn't calculate at all. He was also severely suppressed.

Feel the existence beyond the mortal level.

"Master, master, what's wrong with you? Why does your face become so ugly?" The apprentice immediately said worriedly.

"It's okay. I didn't expect to meet an expert this time. My teacher has no ability to calculate. You will know just by looking at it." He took out the broken copper coins and placed them in front of his apprentice. His eyes were filled with a bald look.

.

"Master, what's going on? Could it be that this person can't be counted, or what?" The apprentice also looked horrified. This kind of thing has never happened before, but now that it has actually happened, how can he not be shocked?

.

"I don't know, but one thing is certain, that is, there is no way to be a teacher. Don't worry about this matter. Let's go to Chang'an. We have a mission this time. We can't delay here. If we miss it,

The timing is troublesome." The master could only say comfortingly. No matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that nothing would go wrong.

After finishing their meal in a hurry, the two people hurriedly drove to Hedong City, trying to escape as fast as they were avoiding a tiger.

After arriving in Chang'an, the two of them felt relieved. This place was where the Human Emperor's dragon energy condensed, and there would be no danger. They could then quietly walk into the city gate. After preparing everything, they began to wait.

"Your Majesty, I have done as you wished, but the position of National Master cannot be realized at all. Please take it back."

"Forget it, since he doesn't want to, don't force it. Remember that it is a forbidden area, and never cause trouble. Warn those princes, no matter who is brave, don't blame the father's ruthlessness, you know?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand, and I will teach all the princes well."

"Well, that's good. Fang Aiqing, are the army's logistics ready?"

"Everything is ready. The tax revenue from Hedong is simply a life-saving straw. This time it is enough for a year's war." Fang Xuanling was very considerate of this harvest. He did not expect that there would be such a huge benefit, which is comparable to direct

There are more collections.

"That's good, that's good. Since we are so cooperative, I can't be stingy. Besides, if every place can get such good profits, I will feel at ease. How can there be such a hurry to put out the fire? Damn the barbarians.

If you invade the Central Plains, you must fight back hard. Li Jing will be left to you this time. You must fight back hard. It is best to eliminate their main force."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing immediately stepped forward and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty, as long as there is enough food and grass, I will live up to Your Majesty's expectations and destroy them."

"Very good, this matter is a big thank you to all of you, especially Fang Aiqing. You must pay close attention. If anyone dares to deduct a penny, don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Shiming said fiercely, this time the use of troops is

For the last humiliation, I must get it back. Besides, there is enough food and grass this time, so there is basically no problem. If I fail again, I really can’t afford to lose this person.

"Your Majesty, I will protect the logistics safety to the death, please rest assured, Your Majesty." The remaining ministers knelt down one after another.

"Very good, all my dear friends, please get up. Let's get ready and see if there is anything else to do. If not, withdraw from the court."

All the civil and military officials in the court were happy. This time, the court finally had enough food and grass preparations. They were very optimistic about this war. Moreover, they were led by famous generals. They would definitely be able to drive out the enemies and prevent them from letting them go.

Down south.

There was an atmosphere of tension in Chang'an City. Soldiers were coming in and out, seemingly very nervous.

"Master, what's going on? Is there going to be a war, but there doesn't seem to be any war?"

"It seems that there is going to be a war against the Turks. You must also know that the imperial court was defeated once before. This time it seems that it wants to get it back. Have you heard about the lack of preparation? It seems to be very certain. It is definitely

The preparations are sufficient, but the world has just been settled, so it is very strange why there is so much food and grass to prepare."

"Master, there's no need to guess. I just overheard in the market that Hedong collected a large amount of taxes, which was enough for the imperial court to recruit troops, and the momentum was very grand. It seems that they are planning to use this batch of taxed food and grass.

.”

"Well, this makes sense. Hedong has not suffered from war at all in these years, and the tax revenue is naturally abundant. It seems that the mutual conflicts have been reconciled. Hedong is naturally fully supportive. It seems that we have underestimated it."

"Yes, Hedong now has a very special status among the government and the public, and even the officials are basically local from Hedong, and those from outside cannot use their talents, because Hedong is really very harmonious, and even sneaking around can't be done.

It’s basically gone. There’s really nothing to do. Where can we make a difference? Master, it seems we have underestimated them.”

"Okay, let's not worry about this matter. The time is almost here. You can leave the city immediately. I don't need to look for you here."

"Yes, master, I will leave first. Master, please go back to the mountain as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, let's go quickly, I know what I'm doing."

"Sir, this is the golden tail carp I caught today. Please accept it." An old man came up with the fish and said.

"You're welcome, old man. Just sit down and I'll be fine." After taking the fish, he began to tell fortunes for the old man. As for his apprentice, he left quietly and disappeared without a trace after leaving the city.

"Thank you, sir. I rely on you to have a good life these days. Thank you, thank you so much." After getting the answer, the old man hurriedly thanked him, sincerely feeling in his heart that if it weren't for him, he really wouldn't be able to catch the fish.

ah.

"You're welcome, but you have to do as I say. Don't tell others that I told you, okay?"

"Don't worry, sir, I will never say anything." The old man said swornly.

The fortune teller smiled indifferently. He already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly.

After the old man left, he continued to wait for the fortune teller.

Until one day, a distinguished man came to the fortune teller, looked at it and said, "Can you really tell anything?"

"This depends on what you want to do. Seeing that you have the aura of water in your body, you must have come from the river. What do you want to do?"

"Oh, I have some skills. Then I want to know how much rain it will rain tomorrow."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment." He immediately took out the copper coins, counted them, and said, "It will rain three feet, three inches and three o'clock tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow." The tall and proud man said immediately, seeming to be very happy.

The fortune teller smiled and nodded without saying much at all.

The next day, it rained as expected, but the fortune teller's expression changed, and then he calmed down, and he couldn't save the dying person.

On the third day, the man came again and began to destroy the stall without any explanation, shouting: "Liar, liar..."

"Well, I don't know about others, but you still don't know. If you change the Jade Emperor's edict without authorization and change the number of rains, you will inevitably go up to the Dragon Tower to behead the Jinghe Dragon King."

As soon as the fortune teller finished speaking, the man was stunned, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly ran over and knelt down to beg for mercy and save him, but nothing came of it, until he finally made a bold threat.

The fortune teller said helplessly: "The person who oversaw the execution was Wei Zheng of the current dynasty, who held the position of Cao Wei. If you can persuade His Majesty, you might be able to show mercy outside the law. Of course, you also need His Majesty's consent, otherwise it will still be useless.

.”

When the Dragon King of Jinghe heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

After he left, the fortune teller also packed up his things and planned to leave.

"Sir, what are you doing?"
