Chapter 615 Unforeseen circumstances in the sky

Li Xiuyuan didn't pay much attention to the subsequent situation of Hao Zhao's family.

He has tried his best to help him, resolved their family's disaster, and pointed out their way of survival. He has done his best. As long as nothing unexpected happens, maybe he will be able to see the Japanese again when they return to Jinling City.

This man.

But today, he had something he had to do.

In the early morning, the sun is rising.

At the post station outside Li County, there was a group of carriages and horses heading toward the capital along the official road.

This is the fleet of Yue King Zhao Rui.

Everything that happened yesterday did not seem to affect the convoy's schedule. When it was time to hit the road, it still hit the road on time. The only difference was that the convoy's escorts were at least half less than yesterday.

The remaining guards all looked tired and a little nervous at the moment.

After experiencing the scenes that happened yesterday, who can feel calm?

Zhao Rui, who was in the carriage, was sitting there with his head propped up and taking a nap. His face was calm and serene, and his whole body exuded the elegance of a palace aristocrat, which was completely different from the violent and ruthless look he had yesterday.

It seemed to him that it was just a trivial and interesting game.

The only one who was slightly worried was Mr. Liu Sheng.

As a staff member, Mr. Liu is riding on the horse, but in your mind, you have been thinking about what the Taoist said when he left yesterday: He said that he was a little unwilling to lose in this game today, and he would play again another day.

How could the immortal’s promise not be fulfilled?

And because of the game played by the prince yesterday, the immortal broke the habit of killing and killed five members of the Hao family.

Although the prince's wisdom made the Taoist take the initiative to admit defeat, the reason why the Taoist gave up was just to pity the world.

The carriages and horses continued to move forward in silence.

When we reached noon, we were supposed to stop and take a break, but suddenly we stopped.

A huge boulder appeared on the original official road.

This huge stone is six to seven feet high and spans nearly half a mile. It blocks the entire official road. If you want to pass here, you have to climb over it or take a detour.

"Mr. Liu, look, there is a huge rock blocking the road ahead. Should we take a detour?" the guard who was scouting the road came back on horseback to report.

Mr. Liu frowned; "This huge boulder on the official road appeared extremely unexpectedly. It didn't seem like it had appeared here before, but it seemed like it was added in one day. Moreover, there were no people in front of the boulder. The motorcade

Staying here is enough to show that it did not appear for a long time otherwise the official road would be blocked.

How come there is no government to rectify the situation?"

Although he said this, he was still confused in his heart.

If such boulders really appeared overnight, what was the reason for them to fall here?

I'm afraid it's caused by the magic cast by ghosts and gods.

This is the thought.

Mr. Liu said, "You guys stop here, I'll go over and take a look."

After saying that, he immediately rode away and came to the foot of the boulder.

Looking up, Mr. Liu suddenly discovered that there was a set of steps on the boulder that led directly to the top.

And there is a pavilion built on the boulder.

There was a person sitting there in the pavilion, holding an ancient book in his hand, and seemed to be reading it carefully.

"It's the Taoist from yesterday." Mr. Liu looked stern and a little surprised.

Immediately, he hurriedly turned over and followed the steps to the boulder.

"Yagyu has seen Immortal Teng Yunzi, and wonders why the Immortal summoned a huge boulder and laid it down on the official road?"

Mr. Liu still didn't understand that this boulder was moved by this immortal using magic.

Li Xiuyuan slowly put down the book of life and death at this time. His eyes moved slightly. Last night he checked the four books of life and death in his hand, but he could not find Zhao Rui's name.

It can be seen that the book of life and death recording Zhao Rui is not among these four books.

In other words, he cannot see the blessings and misfortunes of Zhao Rui's life and death.

"Mr. Liu, we meet again."

Li Xiuyuan suddenly smiled and said: "This is a magic weapon I got by chance, called Feilai Peak. I have been depressed since Pindao left yesterday. Pindao was really dissatisfied with the loss in that bet, so today I have no choice but to

Blocking the road and waiting, hoping that Prince Zhao Rui can have another bet with Pindao, Liu

Sir, please convey Pindao's wishes to the prince, and Pindao has thanked you."

Mr. Liu was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Taoist priest, you are an immortal, so why do you need to be as knowledgeable as us mortals? There was indeed something wrong with the prince yesterday, but Taoist priest should tolerate it. After all, he is a current official."

His younger brother, the Yue King of the Song Dynasty."

"You are right. The prince of the Song Dynasty is indeed noble and extraordinary, but in the face of life and death, everyone is the same. If Mr. Liu refuses to tell him, it is just because he is worried about harming himself. But Mr. Liu serves such a vicious person.

Prince, do you think you can have a good death?" Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

Mr. Liu broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. The immortal's words must be very effective.

Perhaps the immortal has seen his own unlucky death in the future, so he said such words.

"Then, I would like to ask the immortal what should I do?" Mr. Liu asked hurriedly.

Li Xiuyuan said: "If you can put down your role as an aide and stay away from this prince, you may be able to enjoy your old age in peace."

"This, this"

Mr. Liu was hesitant. Asking him to give up his position as an aide would undoubtedly mean giving up his hard-earned rights and status. For a scholar like him to become an aide to the prince is an enviable thing. Ordinary people would ask for it.

Can't ask for it.

"You are greedy for power and status, and help the tyrants do evil. Pindao will not advise you. Let Zhao Rui come over. Pindao is waiting for him here." After finishing speaking, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.

A strong wind blew up.

Liu Sheng felt dizzy for a while, and his eyes could not see clearly. When he appeared again, he had already returned to the foot of Feilai Peak.

He did not dare to go up the mountain again, so he turned back and reported the matter to Prince Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui, who was in the carriage, was taking a nap with his head propped up. After hearing Mr. Liu's report, he immediately opened his eyes: "Oh, really? That Taoist priest actually appeared so quickly."

Then he showed a playful smile; "Interesting, interesting, really interesting. I thought this Taoist had no temper, but it turns out he still has some blood. He lost to me in the game yesterday, and now he can't wait so quickly.

If you want to win back, well, well done, I won’t be afraid if I come back again

If others bet with me, I’m afraid they won’t come to gamble.”

"Haha, I'm no longer interested in beating ordinary people. If I can beat immortals a few times, that's something worth being happy about."

As soon as his eyes lit up, Zhao Rui immediately got out of the carriage, then called the guards to fetch a horse, then mounted the horse and ran towards Feilai Peak with a few followers.

"Haha, how are you in a good mood after not seeing the Taoist Master for a day? Yesterday, the Taoist Master's demeanor made me admire him in my heart. He cut off five heads with just a few gestures. I don't know what the Taoist Master wanted to do when he blocked the road and waited for me.

What are you playing with me?" Zhao Rui strode up the mountain.

But in the pavilion, I saw that the Taoist priest from yesterday was drinking tea and reading a book, leisurely and contentedly.

"As a relative of the emperor, the prince was canonized as the King of Yue. He has an extraordinary status and is considered to be above ten thousand people. For one person, one can be said to be rich and luxurious for the rest of his life. Why doesn't the prince want to do something for the country and the people?

Things, but like to play tricks on people's lives? Is it possible that in your eyes, my lord?

Is human life so worthless?"

Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

"Hey, I am happy, do you think you can care about it? This world belongs to our Zhao family. It doesn't matter if you kill a few untouchables. As long as they can please me, they will be considered worthy of their death." Zhao Rui smiled.

He said.

Li Xiuyuan did not refute, but nodded and said, "Sure enough, your viciousness and cruelty have penetrated deep into your bones, and cannot be cured by any good medicine in the world. In this case, Pindao knows what to do."

"You lost to me yesterday. If you lose again today, I will no longer tolerate you." Zhao Rui said teasingly.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Of course, you decided the two games yesterday. Today I will play two games with you, but I have to decide how to play them. I just don't know if you, the prince, can play them."

Can you afford it?"

"Haha, of course. I haven't played Taoist's game yet, but what if I win?" Zhao Rui said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I'll let the prince make any demands, but if Pindao wins, I want your legs from the prince."

After speaking, he pointed at Zhao Rui's legs.

"If I win, I will cut you into pieces." Zhao Rui said harshly.

"Haha, that's it today, let the game begin."

Li Xiuyuan laughed loudly.

Evil people always want to be punished by evil people. Today he will be a evil person and punish Zhao Rui, the king of Yue.

Zhao Rui also laughed, and laughed very happily. It was rare for someone to dare to continue to play with him. He hoped that this Taoist had some skills and would not be killed by him as easily as others.

"Then I will play a guessing game with you today. This game is very simple. I believe it will not be difficult to understand with your wisdom." Li Xiuyuan stood up slowly and looked at the sky outside.

It's noon now.

The sun is shining, the wind is gentle, and the spring breeze is cool. It is a rare good weather.

"There is a way to say that God has unpredictable events, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes. It is impossible to guess the joy and anger of God, and it is difficult to predict the blessings and misfortunes of people. Therefore, the first game of this poor Taoist is to guess the weather. I don't know where the prince stands.

Looking at the sky from Feilai Peak, I feel that the weather in the sky in a quarter of an hour will be

Sunny day or rainy day?”

Li Xiuyuan said lightly, then turned back to look at Zhao Rui.

"Is it that simple?" Zhao Rui tilted his head and looked at the sky, then squinted his eyes and laughed.

"It's that simple." Li Xiuyuan said.

Zhao Rui smiled and said, "Okay, let me take a guess. Mr. Liu, you all come to me."

Then he shouted loudly.

Yagyu's face at the foot of the mountain was stern at this moment. He didn't know what happened on the mountain, but he still summoned all the guards to meet him.

"Your Majesty." Mr. Liu saluted respectfully.

Zhao Rui said: "I am playing a guessing game with this Taoist priest, guessing the weather in a quarter of an hour. Mr. Liu, do you think the weather in the sky will be sunny or rainy in a quarter of an hour?"

"This, this" Mr. Liu was suddenly startled, his whole body tensed up, and he was so nervous that he didn't know how to answer.

"Mr. Liu is my king's staff and he is very resourceful. It is not difficult to observe the celestial phenomena and climate. I hope Mr. Liu can give me some advice." Zhao Rui said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what you say, sir. I will consider it and adopt it."

Mr. Liu touched the cold sweat on his forehead at this moment, his heart was trembling, guessing riddles again?

Yesterday, he was guessing which of the guards would step into the threshold with his feet first. As a result, the guard's legs were cut off because he caused the prince to lose. He still remembers the tragic situation and didn't expect that it would be his turn today.

A disaster is coming, a disaster is coming

As a staff member, he instinctively felt the crisis, but now he was already riding a tiger.

"Mr. Liu, as an aide, how can you think about such a simple question for so long? You have no wisdom at all, so why does the king want you as an aide? Come here." Zhao Rui shouted.

Immediately, a guard came forward with fists clasped.

"Take down Liu Sheng and beat him with a hundred sticks." Zhao Rui said in a cold tone.

One hundred sticks?

Mr. Liu felt dizzy after hearing this. He had bones in his body and his waist would be broken with less than twenty sticks. Fifty sticks would already be a corpse. A hundred sticks would be equivalent to beating him to death and whipping the corpse at the same time.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard had no room to resist the order, so he responded and was about to take Yagyu into custody.

Yagyu was sweating profusely. At this time, he shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I guess it is sunny. It is sunny. The sun is shining right now, the sky is clear, cloudless, and there is no possibility of rain. So I think it will rain in a quarter of an hour.

It’s still sunny.”

"Stop, let go of Mr. Liu."

Zhao Rui's cold expression suddenly revealed an expression of joy. He laughed and said: "Mr. Liu is indeed worthy of being my king's staff. This statement is well-founded and convincing. Okay, I will accept Mr. Liu."

This suggestion is that it will be sunny in a quarter of an hour."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mr. Liu walked around the edge of life and death. At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed.

The ancients said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Now he felt that he was not accompanying a tiger, but a man-eating evil spirit and a ferocious wild wolf.

It's scary every time.

But before Mr. Liu could finish his sigh, Zhao Rui said with a smile: "I have adopted Mr. Liu's plan. If something goes wrong later, and I lose this game, Mr. Liu's one hundred

The stick can be replenished. If Mr. Liu's plan works, I will reward you with a thousand pieces of gold and ten people as gifts.

The beauty is for Mr. Liu, I hope Mr. Liu will not disappoint me."

"Ah~!"

Mr. Liu was so frightened that his face turned pale and bloodless, and he couldn't help but tremble.

"Okay, I guess it will be sunny in a quarter of an hour, Taoist Master, please invite me." Zhao Rui said with a half-smile.
