Cars were on land and boats were on the water, people were coming and going in a steady stream, men were carrying people on their backs, and vendors were shouting and selling. It was so noisy that Su Ziji really didn't notice the two groups of people watching him for a moment.
The price of the private boat was relatively high, but it was convenient and comfortable. Both the front and back cabins were empty. Su Ziji had just moved his luggage and looked at the wild Taoist and asked, "You look bad, what's wrong?"
The wild man's face was pale, he just glanced at the dock and smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, maybe he didn't get enough rest. Here, sir."
He returned the dragon-patterned jade pendant without noticing, secretly hating himself.
"When I was studying history at my school, I always blamed those people for not being decisive and hesitant in dealing with things. They were not heroes. Now that it has happened to me, I know what it's really like."
"Su Zi Jiyi is a fortune teller, but he kills officials and has big plans, so I'm afraid again. I'm afraid that if I read it incorrectly, I might get involved and end up killing myself."
"Cherishing one's life when doing big things, forgetting one's life when seeing small profits, this is a reflection of me."
No matter how powerful Su Ziji was, he didn't know what others were thinking, but when he looked out, he couldn't help but be startled. Ye Buhui was a little confused and pulled his sleeves: "What's wrong?"
"I seemed to see the Taoist looking at us just now. Is it just a dazzle?" Su Ziji believed in himself, but it was difficult to say such a thing at this time and place.
So he looked away and said, "It's nothing. I thought I saw an acquaintance. Let's go."
He helped Ye Buhui get on the boat.
The large luggage had already been lifted onto the boat by the boatman. After getting on the boat, the boatman untied the rope, rowed away from the pier, and half-opened the sail.
The Wupeng boat was larger than the one we hired before. Not only did a pair of boatmen and their son help, but there was also a woman who was responsible for cooking. The cabins were all cleaned up. Su Ziji saw it and felt satisfied.
It is said that when I learned about Yuan, I received twenty taels of silver as a gift just for visiting the magistrate. I only had half a day to spare, and there were people who lived in the provincial capital, including landlords and merchants, who came to meet me and received many gifts.
All the expensive ones were declined by Su Ziji, and some were accepted. Even so, it was seventy taels more. Sure enough, I had only heard of poor scholars who won the imperial examination and were no longer poor. There were too many ways to get money.
.
Ye Buhui packed up and saluted, smiled, and suddenly shed tears.
"What's wrong?" Su Ziji asked.
Ye Buhui wiped his tears and said with a trembling voice, "I was thinking that if dad had some money, maybe he could be cured."
Su Ziji knew that there was no cure for lung disease in ancient times. He took a look and saw that her face was so pale that there was no blood at all, and there were tears under her long eyelashes. For a moment, Su Ziji's heart softened and he sighed: "Yes.
Yeah, it’s really hard to accept that I want to raise my son but my mother is not here.”
"But Uncle Ye doesn't want you to be like this either."
"I know!" Ye Buhui wiped it again and said stubbornly: "Seeing that you won the prize, I will be flattered by everyone. I also want to fulfill my father's last wish, go to the capital to become a chess scholar, and become a chess master."
"This way, dad will definitely be satisfied."
She was so ambitious and her eyes were sparkling. Su Ziji was shocked, but then he smiled and said, "If you think so, I feel relieved. Okay, I will play chess with you more and read music to you more in the future."
Ye Buhui is very talented, but no matter how talented he is, no matter how old he is, he is still the same as Yu Lu.
Yu Lu was very talented and was willing to study hard, but the gap between scholars and candidates could not be overcome after several months, and he failed to pass the exam this time.
Not just Yu Lu, but none of the new talents in Shuanghuafu had passed the exam except himself.
The same must be true for the way of chess. If Ye Buhui wants to become a chess master, he has to feed her from time to time. Fortunately, now he can read a chapter to gain 2 experience points.
"Huh, I'm afraid you'll give up halfway." Ye Buhui stared at Su Ziji and smiled angrily: "Every time I play chess, I yawn."
Su Ziji saw her charming smile and her beautiful eyes looking forward to it. He was half angry but also half happy. He looked at her blankly and didn't want to say anything for a long time. He said after a long time: "For the sake of my wife, how could I give up halfway? I should be dedicating myself to it."
.”
Ye Bugui didn't understand what he said, and his heart was pounding at the sight of him. He spat with a red face and said angrily: "On the boat, you are still so disgusting."
While they were joking, the boat had gone away. On the pier, the two of them looked away. Su Ziji's face had changed a lot in a short period of time. Huidao saw it and couldn't help but sigh: "This man with a great face has changed a lot."
Change, reveal nobility, and have a different destiny."
Liu Chen snorted coldly, looked at Su Ziji with an even colder gaze, and asked, "Is this son really the prince's son?"
After hearing this, Huidao smiled slightly: "The appearance of noble people has always been confusing. Otherwise, through the past dynasties, one could find it one by one based on their facial features, and either cut off the roots or collect them for one's own use."
"And this kind of prediction of secrets violates the taboos of heaven. If you think about it carefully, these secrets are arranged by God. Will ants be able to pry into the secrets at will and change them?"
"So, what I said just now was based on the friendship between you and my predecessors. I can't say more."
"Furthermore, the secret of heaven is a given. If it's not this person, there are others, and it's involuntary. Why should a real person be persistent?"
These words failed to persuade Liu Chen. Instead, as soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist waved his sleeves and said, "Huh, my destiny is not up to my control. Without this determination, how can I practice Taoism?"
"The King of Shu is benevolent and should be the master of the world, but he cannot make too many changes."
"That's what I said, but under the Emperor's attention, I'm sorry you don't dare to do anything to me." Hui said, sighing, and said: "This is God's will, I will leave now."
"Huidao, now that the King of Qi is supported by the demon clan, which is not of my clan, his heart must be different."
"Although this son may be the son of the crown prince, the death of the crown prince is deeply implicated. Once the grandson is restored, no one will be able to forgive him."
"Only the King of Shu is the most suitable and in line with God's will. Why are you still unwilling to contribute?" Liu Chen finally restrained his smile and said sadly.
"I admit that the court's treatment of your master was inappropriate. But as a human being, you should not only ask what you have gained, but also what you have done for the court and the people of the world."
"In this way, you will be worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of Taoism."
Huidao did not refute, but just listened quietly. Seeing Liu Chen stop talking, he smiled: "The three armies can seize their commanders, but ordinary men cannot seize their ambitions. Senior brother understands this."
"Besides, junior brother, I have only a limited knowledge and am really not of much use. I just want to die in the countryside. I really let down my senior brother for his hard work."
"Huidao, even if you don't think about yourself, the foundation of Tongshan Temple, and your disciples?"
"Even if you don't even think about it, the sudden change in Panlong Lake and the demon clan's resurgence are threatening to cause great harm to the human race. Don't you even care about the human race?" Liu Chen shouted sternly.
After all the plans are revealed, is it still for Panlong Lake and Dragon Palace?
The Panlong Lake Dragon Palace does not exist at all, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
That's why I specially recruited Zheng Yingci, who had been in the Dragon Palace, and tried to recruit myself, who was skilled in Tianji.
The most cruel revenge is to be miserable for the rest of his life rather than give any help to the enemy. Huidao smiled and said nothing, bowed his head again, and drifted away.
