Chapter 11, Princess Baoyan

Although I had expected Li Renxiao's summons the next day, I still feel worried. I don't know if he will punish me by the way, such as 30 or 50 whips or something. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm a little afraid of pain. Fortunately, in the side hall summoned last time, Li Renxiao stopped talking about hiding the princess. After I saluted, he only said calmly to me, "Now I have something more important for you to do."

I didn't dare to show an expression that I knew long ago. I just followed his words and asked, "What's the emperor's task?"

"I want to promote you and Tony as commanders, escort Princess Baoyan, and escort Princess Baoyan to Zhongdu as soon as possible to save the precarious friendly relations between Jin and Xia."

This is to exchange my daughter for political benefits, but it's not my favorite job. I quickly waved my hand and refused: "Weichen doesn't like to deal with Jin people. Besides, Tony and I are not willing to die."

"Lang Lie put aside first," Li Renxiao was unmoved. "You can finish this first."

I smiled and said, "Your Majesty, our original agreement was just to kill the waves, but there is no other miscellaneous business."

Li Renxiao's face immediately sank: "Presumptuous, I didn't cure your death to hide the princess. How dare you tell me the conditions?"

I shrugged my shoulders disapprovingly: "I told the emperor that the condition is to treat the emperor as a friend. If the emperor wants me to still treat you as the emperor, you don't have to discuss it with me."

"Friend?" Li Renxiao unconsciously repeated it and stared at me with a tight face, which made my heart feel a little angry. When he was about to change his mouth to complain, Li Renxiao suddenly sighed, "I really don't understand what kind of person you are. You dare to say such arrogant words. If you want to change others, you should also have 18 heads. Not much, but you are still calm. Your calmness and boldness are like being born, which often makes me feel that it is really boring to cut your head.

"Fortunately, the emperor is no one else." I quickly patted the horse with a smile.

Li Renxiao suddenly raised his face: "But you should remember that since ancient times, the emperor has only had no friends. Whoever wants to think he is a friend of the emperor, then he is not far from death."

With that, Li Renxiao stood up and walked back and forth in front of the case before turning to me and said, "'Fengyuntang' has found out the whereabouts of your saint. She has been robbed and given to the king of Chu as a female slave. Together with several other female slaves, the king of Chu secretly sent people to Wanyan Liang. She is probably on her way to Zhongdu now. In."

I was stunned. I didn't expect that there would be news of Daisy so soon. Before I could express my gratitude, Li Renxiao said slowly, "In addition, I got the news that the King's Mansion of Chu has a plan to secretly stop the marriage at all means. If the princess goes to Zhongdu, the House of Chu will definitely send someone to intercept it along the way. This person is very promising. It can be Lang Lie. If so, only if you and Tony escort the princess can I be a little relieved. You also have a chance to get rid of him on the way!"

I frowned and asked, "Why did the king of Chu stop this marriage?" Don't you know the consequences of offending the golden man?

"He puts his personal interests above the interests of his family and country. He is afraid that if I have the strong aid of Wanyan Liang, he can no longer compete with me and no longer has today's prominent position."

"I understand," I nodded and didn't want to fall into this power struggle, but Daisy has been sent to Zhongdu. It seems that Zhongdu is imperative, so I have to ask, "When are we going to leave?"

"The sooner the better! I will send General Yeli Moren to lead the guards and you all the way, and there will be important ministers of the imperial court to send their envoys. If they are harassed and blocked along the way, no matter who they are, they will not be killed. I promise you that as long as the princess is safely sent to Zhongdu, you can leave the guard and continue your mission.

"Follow the order!" I quickly said that Tony and I had long wanted to break away from Li Renxiao's guard and be a real free man.

When I came out of the imperial city, I took a long breath. Although I didn't like this job, I still wanted to leave Xia earlier, find Daisy earlier, win the Book of Changes earlier, and leave this barbaric place to enjoy my billion yuan.

On the third day, the team to send relatives gathered and set out. Li Bingchang, a bachelor of Chinese calligraphy, was the envoy to send relatives. Wu Youxia's famous general Ye Li Moren led the army. Tony and I were the deputy, and ordered a thousand guards to accompany us. The team was vast, and the officials said goodbye for ten miles. It was so lively. At dusk, we escorted the chariot to the east to Zhongdu. Journey. Less than ten miles out, a man chased him alone. He was covered with dust and couldn't hide his sad face. Everyone dared not stop him, so he rushed straight to the chariot and stopped him to cry.

"Brother, I'm fine," the curtain of the chariot was lifted, revealing Princess Baoyan's happy face. "I always want to get married, don't I? At least my husband is also the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, and he will not humiliate me.

Li Chunyou wiped away his tears and forced a smile, "I just sent you your favorite Xingqing fried buns when you were a child. It's still warm. Eat it while it's hot. If you leave Xingqing, I'm afraid you won't taste it again in the future."

Li Chunyou took out a package from his arms. The fried bun wrapped in Jinpa had oozed bright yellow oil stains. Princess Baoyan quickly took it. As soon as she opened the package, tears hit the steaming steaming steamer like broken beads.

"Leaving Xingqing, you can't be as capricious and unruly as before. You should learn to be an obedient woman, so that you can please men and..." Li Chunyou chattered, but couldn't go on because of choking.

"I know," Princess Baoyan suppressed tears, but she couldn't help but cover her mouth and lowered her head deeply. "You... go back. Remember to send people to see me often."

The brother and sister finally said goodbye with tears. The team continued on the road and walked straight out more than ten miles. I could still see the quiet person behind him, showing a lot of helplessness and boundless sadness in the sunset. At that moment, I suddenly felt that he was actually a little pitiful, and my hatred for him completely disappeared.

As soon as we left the boundary of Xingqing, Ye Li Mo Ren urged the team to speed up the pace. We first went southeast along the Great Wall ruins, bypassed the Gobi Desert outside the Great Wall, and then turned to the northeast. The team finally stopped at Wujiabao, a post station on the west bank of the Yellow River. This is the only way for Jinxia's messengers to go. On the other side is the border of Jin. Before we leave, we have sent a fast horse to send the good news to the same hall of the Xia National Assembly, and the minister reported it to Yanliang, but we have not waited for a reply, and we dare not cross the river alone. Entering the border of the Golden State is a reckless move that is easy to cause misunderstanding.

Wujiabao is across the river from Liulin County in Jinguo on the other side of the Yellow River. There are often business exchanges and trade is very developed, so it is also relatively prosperous. There are many restaurants and inns, and its luxury is no less than Xingqing. When we lived in a comfortable official post, I and several well-known bodyguards He and the guards often get drunk late at night to relieve the fatigue of the journey, or let the Yelu brothers go out to buy wine. They are nominally slaves of me and Tony, who have been chartered and can not be bound by military discipline.

After leaving Xingqing, I didn't see Princess Baoyan again. She leaked her hidden in my home and was found by Li Renxiao. No matter what the feud between their father and daughter was, I always felt a little guilty about her, so I was embarrassed to see her again, so when she suddenly sent her maidservant to me to see her, I was very surprised. Following the little maidservant, I noticed that the moon above my head was in the middle of the sky. It should be midnight. This was not a good time for men and women to meet. I was worried.

When I went up to the second floor and came to Princess Baoyan's embroidery room, she was the only one in the room, and the maid who led the way also left quietly at her sign. Lightly veiled, she was hot under the lights, which made me not know where to put my eyes. I had to stare at my toes and couldn't help scold those greedy bodyguards in my heart. I would ask them a crime of dereliction of duty!

"General Bai, please sit down," just as I was thinking, I only heard Princess Baoyan say, "General Bai was once my master and should not be so restrained."

"I dare not," I still dare not look up and suddenly hugged my fist, "Next time, it's better not to pay attention to it."

"What if I want to pay attention to it?" Princess Baoyan blinked mischievously and pointed to a chair and ordered me, "Now I'm the master, and I order you to sit down!"

She looked as usual and didn't have any strength and sadness at all. On the contrary, I was a little uneasy. I didn't dare to sit down as casually as before. After sitting down on that chair honestly, I found that four dishes and two pairs of bowls and chopsticks had been placed on the table, and another pot of spirits squatted aside. Princess Baoyan grabbed it. The wine pot made a glass of wine for me and myself, raised a glass boldly and said, "Come on, drink with me. After leaving Xia, I don't know if there is anyone else who can drink."

Infected by her, I also raised my glass and smiled at her: "People of wedding wine can always find confidants wherever they go!" After I finished drinking, she also raised her neck without showing weakness and poured down the glass of liquor, but was choked and coughed repeatedly. I laughed when I saw the situation. Her embarrassment made me completely relax and gently patted her back. I joked, "If you can't drink, don't learn from others. Don't pretend to be bold."

"I want to drink!" She filled herself with another cup without showing weakness, and then drank it all at once. This time, she only spit out her tongue painfully and slapped it with her hands desperately, but she was not choked again.

"Okay, I'll stay with you!" I poured wine for myself with a smile and drank it slowly under her gaze.

After three rounds of drinking, her cheeks flew, and her eyes looked at me and suddenly asked, "I remember you said before that you are not interested in female slaves. I don't know what kind of woman you are interested in."

The question came sharply and suddenly. I smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer it. She suddenly asked, "How about a woman like me?"

The question became more and more sharp, and I had to answer it. After hesitating for a moment, I said carefully, "The princess is ordinary. It is the dream of all men in the State of Xia. How dare to comment, let alone delusion."

"You are not delusional now!" Princess Baoyan suddenly grabbed my hand, "You once said you were interested in me, and I will let you taste what you want today."

The sudden attack woke me up most of my wine. Looking at Princess Baoyan's undisguised eyes, I smiled awkwardly and said, "That's just a joke. The princess doesn't have to take it seriously."

Princess Baoyan's face is red, and I don't know whether it's because of wine or something else. Her blurred eyes stared at me shyly, and she became more and more bold because of the effect of spirits: "We Xia women are not as cautious and polite as you Han people. As long as you meet a man you like, you will boldly pursue it. You are a A very special man, I don't know if I really like you, but in comparison, I prefer to give my first time to you, rather than Wan Yanliang who I have never seen before.

Looking at Princess Baoyan's almost half-naked car body, I had a feeling that I was about to explode all over and didn't know what to say. Princess Baoyan suddenly rushed into my arms and whispered in my ear, "Before offering myself as a sacrifice to Wanyan Liang, I just want to have my own short happiness, even if It's just one night, even a short moment.

I was slightly shocked, and a feeling of pity arose. I couldn't help but tighten her waist. If I could give her the trivial happiness she wanted, I would not hesitate to risk beheading. I kissed her cheek boldly, and she also kissed me back clumsily. At the same time, she moaned slightly in my arms. The delicate voice made my heart sway and gradually became crazy with the wine. I trembled for that moment. I didn't care about all the rules and despise any precepts.

A sudden sound came from outside the door, like the sound of a sack, but I didn't know it at all. I picked up Princess Baoyan and wanted to go inside. Suddenly, the closed door opened silently, and a dark shadow flew in. A sword light was like a lightning meteor, pointing directly at the confused Princess Baoyan in my arms.

As soon as I saw the speed, orientation and momentum of the sword, I knew that I couldn't avoid it at all. The only thing I could do was to turn around and use my back to resist the sword light. At the moment of coldness and body, I rose up all my strength and suddenly threw Princess Baoyan out of the window, even ignoring the second floor.

As soon as the cold air invaded from the back of my heart, it immediately shrank back. I felt that the sharp blade passed through my bones, and then my strength quickly drifted away from the back heart wound, and I was unable to fall to the ground. A black shadow passed over my head and rushed straight out of the window. I was glad to hear a noise downstairs, and then there was the sound of shouts and the "ping-pong" blades. I struggled to think of the window to have a look. After climbing hard for a few steps, the weakness of bloodshed came and made me fainted.

I don't know how long it took. When I woke up, it was already broad daylight. The light coming through the window made my eyes confused. A loud voice stood at the head of my bed. Seeing me wake up, I only sighed: "Fortunately, that sword is not pointing at you, otherwise you will definitely not see today's sun."

is Tony. I warmed my heart and asked weakly, "How about the princess? Did the assassin catch it?"

"The princess is fine," Tony said lightly. "I just hurt a leg when she jumped down from the second floor. It will take a few days to get better. As for the assassin, I think you should know who it is."

Of course, I know that although he is completely blindfolded, from his figure and the speed and momentum of the sword, I believe that only one person in the whole Daxia country has such a hand. Since it is him, Tony and those guards can't stop him.

"Fortunately, the princess is fine." I secretly congratulate myself in my heart.

"Fortunately, he is not a good assassin." Tony also sighed slightly, "But he will definitely come again."

I was moved when I heard the words, and a bold plan gradually became clear in my mind.

There is no reply from the State of Jin. We can only wait at the post station. A thousand guards are divided into two shifts to guard and surround the station. Even a fly can't fly in. Once everyone understands the heavy responsibility and possible danger, they all of them will be in a 12-point spirit. If something happens to the princess, According to the strict law of the State of Xia, all the thousands of guard officers and soldiers will be beheaded.

On the tenth day, we finally waited for the messenger of the State of Jin. According to my plan, Nolimoren kept the guards secret and still guarded the princess's resting building with all his strength around the post station. Tony and the Yelu brothers and I, with a few of the best martial arts guards, quietly left the princess and took Crossing the Yellow River at night and stepping on the territory of the Golden Country is the first step of my plan.

Not far from the other side of the Yellow River is Liulin County of Jinguo. We passed around the city. At that time, the two countries maintained peace for many years, and there were no garrison near the border. We went deep into the hinterland of Jin without any trouble. When it was almost dawn, we were already resting in a remote temple.

The small temple is a common simple Guanyin temple built on the mountain. It is divided into two front and back. The front hall is dedicated to Master Guanyin, and the apse is the host's kitchen and dormitory, like a cave deep into the mountain. It has been dilapidated for many years, and the host has disappeared, but it has lost a lot of trouble. The Yelu brothers raised a bonfire in the temple, and then let Princess Baoyan into the apse to rest. Tony toured outside the temple for a week and arranged two bodyguards to guard them outside the temple. They also leaned against the porch pillar of the hall. I huddled under the table to rest. Although the injury on my back was not serious for more than ten days, he still ran all night. My wound is burning and painful.

It's almost dawn when people feel most tired, especially after a night's journey. It didn't take long for everyone to fall asleep, and no one got up to add some firewood even when the bonfire gradually went out.

I faintly heard the morning chicken's call from the distance and gradually awakened the sleeping earth. I was secretly worried that I was no longer so confident in whether this second step would work, just when I was worried about gains and losses. The closed temple door silently cracked a crack, and a thin black shadow flashed in. It lay on the edge of the door and slightly adapted to the darkness in the hall. After patrolling the hall, it touched the apse like a ring cat, where there was only Princess Baoyan.

As soon as his figure disappeared in the apse, I immediately got out from under the table. Tony also suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were shining in the dark. Several crooked guards and the four Yelu brothers also jumped up, and there was no sign of sleepiness at all.

"The assassin has fallen into the trap!" I motioned everyone to approach the apse, but I told them uneasily, "We are dealing with despicable assassins who hide their heads and tails. We must do everything and must not be kind as women."

Everyone quietly touched the apse. I turned around and closed the door, tied the door, and then nailed it to death with the already prepared nails. I turned to the Yelu brothers and said, "Keep the door of the hall. No one can grab the door and escape. Those who violate it will be killed without mercy!" Now the apses is completely closed, only us and the assassin. This time either he dies or we die.

Several guards of the martial arts of the Yelu brothers know that although the boss Ye Luzhao broke his arm, the strength of the four people's joint efforts is still no less than that of several guards. I ordered this obviously with their fighting spirit to inspire everyone to fight to the death. Several guards showed surprise. They never thought that we were so many people to deal with one person and were ready to have all the advantages. I would be so cautious, just like the other party was a monster.

The door of the bedroom opened silently, and a thin shadow stood in the door, like a ghost in the dark. He was not surprised by our encirclement. He only stared at us with sharp eyes and asked in a low voice: "Use a guard soldier to pretend to be a princess to seduce me. This scheme is really clever. The Jinshi who sent the letter also pretended to be, right?

I didn't want to answer. I searched in the dark bedroom and vaguely saw "Princess Baoyan" shrinking by the bedside and trembling. Then I was relieved. As I estimated, even if he was an assassin, he still had his principles and pride. He would not easily kill a powerless soldier, but it was not out of Kindness or pity, but thinking that killing a nobody who has no power to fight back is an insult to his powerful sword.

"Take it down!" Several bodyguards were not used to his appearance and roared in unison. I couldn't stop them, so I had to rush forward and secretly congratulated that I didn't explain the identity of the assassin to the guards. Otherwise, I'm afraid that several guards would have no fighting spirit and just want to escape for their lives just by hearing his name.

The assassin stepped out of the bedroom and staggered with the two bodyguards rushing to the front. The sword light in his hand flashed in the dark, only a flash. The two bodyguards suddenly rushed out a few steps aimlessly, hit the wall, and immediately fell to the ground softly. There was blood bleed out between the waist, and only one was met by the other party. Easily stab the ribs. The remaining bodyguards were stunned. Only one stunned. The assassin's sword skimmed through the air again, and another bodyguard was unexpectedly cut off his throat. Just as the other party's long sword slowed down, Tony's knife had come out of the air, forcing him to withdraw his sword and retreat. I also chased and stood side by side with several bodyguards.

"Hmm!" The assassin suddenly snorted from his nose and stared contemptuously at Tony and said, "I thought you were a real warrior. It turned out that I was wrong."

Tony was unmoved and said indifferently, "Samurai sometimes will do anything to deal with hidden despicable assassins!"

I also laughed and said, "We use the samurai method to deal with the assassins who kill secretly, and we naturally use the despicable means of assassins."

"Good! I'd like to know what you can do for me?" The assassin scolded, and a sword split at me. Before the sword arrived, the cold light had arrived. I quickly raised the knife. I didn't expect that the sword suddenly turned aside and flashed back in front of me. A guard monster next to me shouted and fell to the ground. There was blood guing out of his throat, and the sword had cut his throat. In just a few rounds, although I have seen it, the sharpness and strangeness of the swordsmanship is still beyond my imagination. Seeing that the remaining bodyguards have a look of fear on their faces, I quickly advocated loudly, "The door of the palace has been completely closed, and no one can get out without killing him. Now it's not his death. I'm dead!"

They all said that they would die and then live. The bodyguards who knew the current situation shouted at the assassin and rushed forward. They had the spirit of not killing the opponent and vowing not to die. Tony and I also took the lead and sealed the angle of the assassin's sword.

With this cooperation, the swords were fired together. I thought I could trap him. I didn't expect him to pass through the crowd like a spirit cat. Tony and I didn't stop him. He shook off the crowd and rushed straight to the door. The Yelu brothers next to the door quickly came forward to resist. Yelunin, who rushed to the front, was stabbed by him with lightning. The remaining three brothers were forced back after resisting only two moves. The assassin reached out to open the door, but the nailed door could not be opened for a moment. We slowly forced him over, and he had to turn back. There was a terrible light in his eyes, which was obviously determined to kill us. At this time, I suddenly took a high-five, and the applause did not fall. Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of bowstrings outside the closed door, followed by the assassin groaning, and his body couldn't help rushing forward two steps. I saw this. I was broad-minded and knew that my scheme had been succeeding.

"Up!" I rushed out first, and his sword suddenly pointed at my chest, but the speed was not as strong as before. Even so, I still couldn't avoid it. The only moment the tip of the sword pierced the skin, I grabbed the blade and shouted, "Tony!"

Tony's knife was not slower than the assassin. The knife passed in front of me like a white rainbow. He only heard the assassin's scream, covered his wrist and abandoned his sword and retreated. The hand holding the sword had been broken with his wrist! I was secretly relieved and didn't have time to pay attention to the wounds on my chest and hands. I greeted a few frightened guards: "Everyone, go up and kill him!"

The assassin was already on the ground at this time. In addition to the blood flowing from the broken wrist, there was still a short crossbow on his back. Fortunately, he would not have been caught by me and injured under Tony's knife.

Several bodyguards staggered, with both panic and puzzlement on their faces. Obviously, they had guessed his identity from the assassin's unconcealed accent and sword power. Years of admiration and awe made them unable to take action against the assassin. At this time, Tony also withdrew his knife and sighed, "Let him go. He is already a useless person."

I haven't answered yet. Tony said bleakly, "Anyway, we are all quite disgraceful. I don't want to take action anymore."

"Did my fourth brother die in vain?" Only the fifth Yelu of the Yelu brothers was very angry, and I was actually unwilling to let him go. Especially when I saw that the remade fine steel glove in my left palm was completely broken, I knew that with his innocence and sword talent, even if his right hand was broken, he still had his left hand. In time, he must be another kendo master. A person like him, even if he wastes a hand, is still scary. I don't want to have such a strong enemy, so I said to Yelugang maliciously, "Tony said that he is already a useless person. You can completely turn him into a useless person to avenge your fourth brother."

Yelud immediately understood what I meant, slowly walked to the assassin and grabbed his uninjured left hand. The knife flashed and a thumb had fallen to the ground. Yelu just slowly put away the dagger, broke the assassin's thumb cut to the ground, and said resentfully, "Don't say I'm too cruel. At least I left it for you. Four fingers to eat, I just want you to be a useless person, a waste person that everyone can humiliate, and make you live more uncomfortable than death. I want you to be unable to hold the sword again, and your left hand is not!"

Wan Liang suddenly pointed to me and said, "This slave has been fighting with Princess Baoyan all the way. I have already been reported. If there is anything wrong with my concubine, you have to bury this boy!"

"Injustice!" I felt both funny and aggrieved. I hurriedly said, "It must be the villain who provoked discord with a bad princess, thus affecting the good-neighborly and friendly relationship between Jin and Xia. The emperor must not be fooled!"

Hearing me mention the relationship between Jinxia, Wanyan Liang hesitated for a moment and waved his hand and said, "Okay, I will save your life for one night. If I find that Princess Baoyan has lost her virginity, no matter you are a civilian or military general, you will not want to live and retreat from the court!"

The ministers were sore that no one had ever said a plea for us. Let the lives of more than 1,000 of us rest on the chastity of a woman. This tyrannical and absurd saying is finally learned. I can't help but be secretly grateful and even grateful to the masked assassin, who inadvertently saved all our lives.

The night in Zhongdu seemed to be very long, especially in the heavenly prison. Fortunately, Tony was a neighbor, but he looked melancholy all night and did not hide the anxiety and worry in his eyes. I patted the fence of the two prison rooms and smiled at him, "Don't look that depressed. Life and death are deadly. Why worry?"

Tony said sadly, "I'm not worried about myself, but about Daisy. She fell into the hands of such a lustful tyrant. I don't know what will happen, but we are in prison and can't do anything."

My heart moved and found that Tony's concern for Daisy has surpassed the relationship between the employer and the warrior, and even more than his attention to himself. Only then will he be imprisoned but think about the safety of others. I can't help but think of my secret mission. In the future, Daisy and I are destined to be sworn enemies and even kill her for the Book of Changes. I don't know how Tony will feel at that time.

The hard night finally passed. It was not until noon that an internal official finally came to read Yan Liang's edict. A stone fell in my heart, and it was estimated that the danger would pass for the time being. Otherwise, with Wanyan Liang's temperament, he would have pushed us directly out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded, and there was no interest in summoning us again.

In the Jinluan Hall, before we finish the ceremony, Wanyan Liang has signaled us to be flat and smiled at me, "Yesterday, I wrongly blamed you. You have sent your concubines for me thousands of miles away. You are my meritorious ministers. I want to reward you well. Each of you will be rewarded with thousands of silver, ten jars of wine, and give me a banquet to share the same pleasure!"

With the imperial edict, the imperial dining room immediately spread the banquet, and soon set up dozens of banquets outside the hall. Hundreds of officials accompanied them. The banquet was extremely luxurious, which can be called the meat forest of the wine pool, and there were swallow dance and warblers ling songs lingering around, which did not matter in the sky and the world, but the civil and military officials were all obedient and cautious in their words and deeds. There was no "le" to say anything.

After three rounds of drinking, Wanyan Liang suddenly asked the internal official to announce the new concubine to go to the hall and have fun with the officials. The internal official hurried to take the order and left. Not long after, a graceful lady came on the chamelt and knelt down to Wanyan Liang and sat down. The officials were flattering and flattering each other. The concubine calmly accepted the crowd and calmly glanced at the ministers. At a glance, the cold eyes did not stop at all when they crossed my face. They looked like a passer-by, and her face was always dull, and I didn't know the joys and sorrows. I was gloomy when I saw the situation. In just one night, the wayward and unruly and naive girl had died. Now in front of me, it's just a bright harem. One of the countless concubines. And I was the accomplice who killed the innocent girl. I could only be sad about this, but I still had to force a smile, for fear that the suspicious Wanyan Liang would see something.

The banquet continued. From noon to dusk, I drank to the glass and toasted loudly to Wanyan Liang and his new concubine. His manners were quite presumptuous, but Wanyan Liang obviously didn't care about it. He was only happy to talk to me, and it was also very bold. If we only talked about wine and With a lot of alcohol, he is also a hero in the world. He finally got drunk and left the banquet with the help of the internal official. The banquet was over. I was already incoherent. If it hadn't been for Tony and Ye Li Moren, I'm afraid I couldn't find a way out of the palace.

When I came to the long street outside, it was already the dusk when the birds were throwing into the forest. When I passed the overpass, it was still bustling and lively. From time to time, there were shouts of selling various snacks. It was a language that I had never heard before, but I felt extremely familiar and kind, more than any language I had heard before. Because of this familiar language, I staggered down from the horse and waved to Tony and Yelimoren: "I'll turn around and go back. You don't have to wait for me."

Ye Li Moren hesitated for a moment and left two soldiers to follow me, but he still told him uneasily, "This is not Xingqing. You have to be careful." After saying that, Tony wanted to stay with me, but his appearance was too strange here, which always attracted passers-by to look sideways, so he persuaded him to go back. I just wanted to walk quietly in the crowd, experience the joys and sorrows of ordinary people, and relieve the depression and depression in his heart.

The hustle and bustle of the overpass has come to an end. The stalls selling arts and selling things have been closed one after another, and the crowd is gradually dispersing, but there are also snack stalls that are booming. I asked for a bowl of tremella soup to soberen up, and then bought a string of sugar-coated haws. As I walked, I occasionally licked it like those children. Happy and self-contained.

"Master, how about a fortune? Don't take the money." A sloppy fortune teller followed me, chattering and chasing me like a fly. I waved my hand several times without rushing away, so I had to look back angrily. I don't believe that people have a predictable fate, let alone that they can be calculated by a downtrod fortune teller, but after looking back at the big words on the flag in the warlock's hand, I suddenly changed my mind.

The flag reads: easy fortune-telling, ancestral stunts!

"Have you read the Book of Changes?" I asked casually and remembered the purpose of my trip.

"Of course," the warlock was probably because I was finally willing to pay attention to him. He couldn't help smiling with relief on his face and straightening his chest slightly proudly. "I have been familiar with Zhou Yi since I was a child, and I can tell fortunes with people at the age of twelve."

I frowned and asked doubtfully, "What kind of thing is the Book of Changes?"

The warlock was stunned. Probably no one ever asked him this question. He hesitated for a moment before explaining word by word: "The Book of Changes is handed down to be written by the ancient sage King Wen of Zhou. It uses Taiji gossip and causal changes to deduce the causal cycle of all things in the world. It is an ancient secret book that reveals all the changes in the world. It is extensive. The depth is unpredictable, and rational deduction can exhaust all the changes in the world.

I tilted my head and smelled it for a long time, and finally laughed and said, "Forget it, the more you explain me, the more nonsense I am. Just calculate a gossip for me, and I will pay twice!"

The warlock suddenly cheered up and hurriedly said, "Master, please report the date of birth."

"What is the date of birth?" I don't understand. I didn't know until the warlock patiently explained it, but I had no choice but to spread out my hand and said, "I don't remember my birthday. What should I do?"

The warlock hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter. I can also gossip with copper money, which is as accurate as the eight characters of the birthday."

"Bronze money gossip?" I frowned suspiciously, "Is that okay?"

The warlock smiled and said, "Six copper coins are used to represent a hexagram. The front of each copper coin is a yang line and the reverse side is a yin line. The six copper coins add up to the six lines of a hexagram, which is extremely effective. What do you want to ask?"

I pondered for a moment, and then slowly said the question that had been bothering me: "Who am I?"

The warlock probably never encountered such a problem when he was stunned, but he did not have any stage fright. He read a few words and shook a bamboo tube containing several copper coins. Just when I began to feel impatient, he suddenly fell to the ground, and six copper coins rolled out of the bamboo tube. One is facing up, four are facing up, but the last one rolls to the side, and finally rolls into the shallow gap between the bluestone slabs, standing there and no longer moving.

I smiled and asked the warlock, "How does this count? Should it be an yang or a yin?

The warlock shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's strange. I've been hexagrams all my life. I've never seen such a strange hexagram. Even the legendary hexagram of the true destiny is not as strange as this hexagram."

I was secretly amused when I heard the words, thinking that I was probably the most strange person in the world. I have insight into so many secrets and secrets. If compared with this, what are the true destiny of the emperors? At least this warlock still has a little spectrum, not bragging. It seems that the Book of Changes really has its magic. While I was thinking nonsense, the warlock held his head and thought hard for a long time, and finally hesitated to say, "I try to solve this strange hexagram, but this kind of hexagram is not only not recorded in any book, but I haven't even heard it, so if the interpretation is wrong, don't blame the military master."

Seeing that he was cautious and professional, I didn't care much about it. Let's take it as a game. Thinking about it, he waved his hand and smiled, "You can understand it according to your feelings. I won't blame you whether it's right or wrong."

The warlock then broke his finger and calculated: "This hexagram is originally a yang and four yin, and the yang line is at the bottom, which is for the Qianlong in the abyss, but there is also a vertical copper coin, which is a variable that is neither yin or yang. Therefore, your identity is a mystery to yourself, let alone others, but one thing is certain that this A vertical copper coin, whether you regard it as a yin or a yang, is wrong. It should be a change, which shows that there are uncertainties in your identity. No matter who has conclusive evidence to indicate your identity, it can definitely be wrong. Your identity can only be uncovered by yourself. Just like this copper coin, whether it is yin or yang are all in you. Your own choice."

I was slightly shocked when I heard this. Is this Book of Changes really so magical that the warlock actually calculated that I didn't know who I was? Even pointing out that my identity is still shrouded in fakes? Who am I? Do I have to reveal myself? Can't trust anyone?

I stared at the warlock's obscene and sloppy eyes and wanted to know how he calculated it. This I Ching is so magical that it can not only calculate things in the game world, but also everything in reality? This is unbelievable! I suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Do another fortune for me!"

The warlock grinned and struggled, but he couldn't get out of my grasp. He quickly said, "Master, let go first. I'll calculate it for you, but I don't have more than three hexagrams a day. Today is the last hexagram. After this hexagram is finished, you can't calculate it."

I waved my hand impatiently: "How can there be so much nonsense? I'll give you more money."

"It's not a matter of money," the warlock cried with a sad face. "This is a matter of heaven. mortals can't know too much. They will be blamed for leaking the secrets."

Seeing that he was serious, I had to give in and say, "Well, just calculate for me in the end and figure out what the number in my heart represents?"

"What number?" The warlock put the copper coins into the bamboo tube one by one and shook them again.

"4-7-7-2-5-8-1-2!" I stared at the warlock and said the mysterious number in the depths of my memory word by word. If he can calculate that this number is an account or has something to do with the "bank" that is not at all in the world, he can confirm a bold conjecture in my heart, and I will find the answer to all this!

I eagerly looked at his shaking bamboo tube, waiting for the answer to be solved.
