After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 25

What this Taoist said was even more outrageous than the alchemist Xie Tangru raised by his father, it was full of nonsense.

Xie Tangru didn't take this seriously.

The Taoist stroked his long beard, squinted his eyes, and shook his head at Xie Tangru, "Everything hasn't happened yet, why does the girl think what I said is wrong now?"

His tone was slow, with the unique sense of flickering like a street magic stick.

"How can the Taoist priest be sure that what he said is correct?" Shang Qingyao took advantage of the situation and asked back, making Xie Tangru take back what came to his lips.

"The technique of face-to-face and qi is a unique skill in our sect. Its secrets cannot be disclosed to outsiders. If the two of you refuse to believe me, then I will not make things difficult for you two." The Taoist sighed, but there was not much disappointment in his expression. , On the contrary, it is really as leisurely as a master of Taoism, "In the future, the two of you will find out that the poor Taoist is not lying, and you can return to Baiyun Temple to find the poor Taoist."

After he finished speaking, he dozed off on the table with his hands propped up, his eyes closed, and he didn't care about the two "honored guests" in front of him.

Xie Tangru and Shang Qingyao looked at each other.

... This style is quite airs of a master.

Xie Tangru raised his lips and smiled lightly, he would not change his belief in Taoist priests just because of this, but well, the words of Taoist priests, especially famous Taoist priests, are always easy for most people to believe.

For example--

He looked at Shang Qingyao, and unconsciously rolled his eyes.

——King Cheng bears the purple energy, which is the destiny of heaven.

"Crack-"

Sitting in the secret room behind the side hall, the man in brocade clothes crushed the thin white porcelain cup, his face was as heavy as a dark cloud.The governor of Yuzhou stood respectfully at his hands, without saying a word.

This person was none other than the eldest son of the first emperor, His Highness King Rong, who could not be found anywhere in the capital.He seemed to squeeze out every word from between his teeth: "Shang Qingyao, that bastard is destined by destiny? Heh!"

He got up and flicked his sleeves, and swept the things on the table to the ground. The porcelain crackled and shattered on the ground, making a harsh sound, and exploding on the ground.

The governor of Yuzhou twitched his eyelids.

King Rong kicked the table, "No matter what, Shang Qingyao can't step out of the gate of Baiyun Temple today!"

"Your official understands." The governor of Yuzhou replied with a salute.

King Rong looked at him, a puff of breath came out of his nostrils, he snorted twice, he wanted to lose his temper, but he didn't know what to do, but stopped, and angrily shook his sleeves and left.

Only then did the governor of Yuzhou straighten his hunched waist again, and a pair of cloudy eyes shone brightly.At the same time, a man in black silently landed in front of him, kneeling on one knee, waiting for his order.

"Is everyone ready?"

The man in black replied with a hoarse voice as if smoked: "Everything has been arranged, and all the Taoist temples have been replaced by our people."

Nodding in satisfaction, the governor of Yuzhou murmured slowly with his hands behind his hands: "You must be careful before you do it, and don't let King Cheng find out. In addition, you must take the lady away in time."

"Yes."

……

"Did you hear anything just now?" Xie Tangru tapped the fan in his hand lightly, and asked Shang Qingyao with a frown.

"Maybe the mice in the palace accidentally knocked over something." His Royal Highness Cheng replied without changing his expression.

While the two were talking, a half-grown young man dressed as a Taoist boy stepped into the hall and bowed his hands to the two: "The temple master has already prepared meals at the back of the hall, and I invite two distinguished guests to come with me."

When he raised his hand to signal, Xie Tangru noticed that there was a thick layer of calluses on his palm, so he couldn't help but look more.Dao Tong's senses were sharp, and when he noticed Xie Tangru's sweeping eyes, he couldn't help but look back, and happened to meet Xie Tangru's smiling eyes.

Dao Tong lowered his head in embarrassment, his eyes fell on Xie Tangru's fluttering sleeves, he hid his hands in his sleeves, and calmly led them through the main hall and several winding corridors, until they came to a small and exquisite two Outside the pavilion.

Not far from this pavilion is a lush forest, which is an excellent place to hide people. There are a few huge stones piled up outside the pavilion. The Governor of Yuzhou and Xu Guanzhu of Baiyun Temple are talking in the pavilion, but Xu Guanzhu seems not very interested , has been looking vaguely at something.

Xie Tangru cast a glance upstairs, then withdrew it as if nothing had happened, and walked up the steps with Shang Qingyao, but couldn't help being distracted to think about what he had just seen.

What flashed past seemed to be... the face of King Rong who was supposed to be in the capital.

What King Rong is doing at this time, Xie Tang can think of it without using his brain.

Xie Shizi sighed in his heart, and sincerely thanked his father for not giving him two unlucky brothers.Otherwise, if one day he needs to slaughter two cheap brothers, he will feel very sad, and he will have to pay for the best coffin for them.

The emperor's family, father and son, brothers and sisters, are blood relatives when they die, and enemies when they are alive.

Xie Shizi and Cheng Wang are also one-sided enemies.

So Xie Shizi didn't intend to tell His Royal Highness Cheng Wang that his good brother was watching him upstairs.Thinking of this pair of brothers, Xie Shizi sincerely felt that at least one of Cheng Wang and his own brother would follow the late emperor to Huangquan to continue to be dutiful sons in Baiyun Temple today, and His Royal Highness Rong Wang looked more like a dutiful son than Shang Qingyao.

But he can help the late emperor, who missed his son, send both good sons to his side.

Xie Tangru was happy to help with this.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help turning his face to the side to look at Shang Qingyao. Shang Qingyao just turned his gaze back. The two eyes met for a moment, and then they each staggered tacitly and took their seats.

Like some kind of unknown secret ambiguity.

The governor of Yuzhou moved his eyes.

Xu Guanzhu and Shang Qingyao exchanged a few words of politeness back and forth, complimenting each other before the banquet was officially opened.Although the banquet was plain, it was extremely delicate, and the ingredients were also treasures from the mountains—if every dish wasn't filled with drugs, Xie Tangru probably would have liked them even more.

Seeing that Shang Qingyao hadn't moved his chopsticks, Yuzhou Inspector couldn't help feeling a little impatient, and asked, "But the dishes don't match His Royal Highness's taste?"

"No, it's delicious in color, fragrance and taste." Shang Qingyao smiled and praised, "The masters are very skilled."

"Then why Your Highness..." Xu Guanzhu looked at Shang Qingyao, also a little puzzled.

Hearing this, Shang Qingyao glanced at Xie Tangru with a smile.

The governor of Yuzhou and Xu Guanzhu also looked over at the same time.

Xie Tangru, who was looking at the direction of the patterns and textures on the wine glass: "..."

Shang Qingyao said in a gentle voice, "Can Ah Fei prepare vegetables for me?"

Gritting her teeth, fortunately Xie Tangru still remembered her current identity. As the only concubine of His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, it would be against the law to kill her husband directly.He calmed down and forced out the word "good".

Shang Qingyao smiled slightly.

The governor of Yuzhou knew it, and he was even more surprised that this woman was so clever that even people like Cheng Wang were fascinated.After King Cheng died today, if he could tame this woman for once, wouldn't it be a wonderful thing.

The governor of Yuzhou was so distracted that he had completely forgotten the painful lesson Xie Tangru had taught him back then, and finally he was left to pay attention to Xie Tangru's food.

Drugs are included in every dish, so it doesn't matter which dish he chooses.The governor of Yuzhou was thinking while watching Xie Tangru's chopsticks fall on the braised fish that had been smeared with drugs all over his body.

Xie Tangru seemed to be hesitating where to put his chopsticks, sliding all the way from the tail of the fish, and finally landed on the delicious belly of the fish.

The heart of the governor of Yuzhou was brought up.

The chopsticks passed through the middle, and the delicious and delicate fish meat was separated from it. Xie Tangru picked it up lightly, and took out a complete fishbone, and put it solemnly in Shang Qingyao's bowl.

"this is delicious."

"..." The fishbone was dazzlingly white under the reflection of the sun, and the governor of Yuzhou felt that it seemed to be pierced into his own brain, and blood gushed up one after another.

He ordered people to smear the whole body of that fish, even the fish eyeballs, with drugs, but the governor of Yuzhou never expected that someone would not eat fish meat and insisted on picking a fishbone from the middle!

Shang Qingyao was not annoyed at being picked out of a thorn and put it in the bowl. Instead, he found Xie Tangru's serious, nonsense appearance rather amusing.

"Ah Fei said so, I definitely believe in Ah Fei's taste."

Shang Qingyao's voice was filled with laughter.

Xie Shizi has never seen such a hypocritical person as His Royal Highness Cheng Wang.He glanced at King Cheng and didn't speak.

Xu Guanzhu stroked his long beard and smiled, and came out to smooth things over, "Your Highness, you might as well try the sweet-scented osmanthus wine brewed by Shanren himself. The texture is pure, fragrant and mellow, not inferior to the famous Lihuabai in Beijing."

"The viewer said so, I must give it a try." Shang Qingyao said politely.

His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, who had the highest status at the banquet, expressed his intentions. Immediately, Dao Tong came over holding the wine jar. Before it was opened, he could smell the overflowing fragrance from a distance.

It is indeed a good wine that is not inferior to Pear Blossom White.Xie Tangru raised his eyebrows, watching Daotong pour wine for him, but Daotong's hand shook for some reason, and the whole glass of wine spilled on Xie Tangru's clothes, making it wet.

Dao Tong immediately knelt down in a panic: "My honored guest, forgive me! I didn't mean it."

Xie Tangru raised his hand to interrupt him, "It's okay, you can take me to my room to tidy up my clothes."

"Thank you, distinguished guest, please come with me."

……

After Xie Tangru left the meeting, the governor of Yuzhou had a bad expression on his face. This was not in his original plan.Now that Xie Tangru had left and had seen the other party's abilities, the governor of Yuzhou couldn't help but worry that he would ruin his plan.

Then we can only deal with the Complete King before he comes back.At that time, a little girl will not be able to make any troubles.A gloomy look flashed across the eyes of the governor of Yuzhou.

Shang Qingyao's eyes were also a little dark.

There was a weird feeling about that incident just now.

The Taoist boy who spilled wine had a wrong attitude.

He winked at the dark, and someone immediately followed Xie Tangru.

Daotong led Xie Tangru into a secluded courtyard, the road became quieter and less crowded, Xie Tangru didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and followed him all the way, even feeling a little bit emotional about the greenery on both sides flowers and trees.

"It's right here, please take a break for the distinguished guests. There are spare clothes for the distinguished guests to change and wash temporarily." Daotong stood still, opened the door, and said.

There are people inside.

Before going in, Xie Tangru was able to confirm this point.

He pushed the boat along the way, wanting to see what the mastermind behind the scenes was planning to do, but he didn't expect that there seemed to be a surprise.

He raised his eyebrows and walked in.

The door behind him slammed shut instantly, and then there was the sound of clanging locks. Xie Tangru, who had expected it, was too lazy to look back, and only focused on the layout of the room and the people sitting in the room.

The soft pillows on the high bed are eye-catching, the floor is covered with brocade mantles, and the small screen carved from ivory in the whole room is extravagant.It is completely different from the quiet Taoist temple.

His people have stayed in Baiyun Temple for so long, but they didn't realize that there is such a "fairy palace" in Baiyun Temple.Xie Tangru appreciated it carefully, with a leisurely attitude, but King Rong, who was sitting in the most prominent position but had been ignored all the time, finally couldn't help it.

"Are you the woman Shang Qingyao loves recently?"

Xie Tangru commented lightly: "Your ivory screen is not bad."

King Rong: "You are really beautiful. No wonder my unreasonable brother is also fascinated by you. But if you follow him, you will be like that for the rest of your life. If you are willing to follow me and do things for me, your future will definitely be better than yours. It's better to be a little concubine who becomes a king..."

"It's just that the decoration of the whole room is a bit low-quality." Xie Tangru continued to comment.All the good things are put out in a messy pile because there are too many, and it is difficult for people to see the precious value of these things.

...But His Royal Highness King Rong would rather take so many treasures with him than flee for his life with his wife and children.

The title given by the first emperor was not wrong at all.

After talking nonsense for a while, His Royal Highness King Rong was finally angered. He grinned sinisterly, "Since you don't cooperate, I don't bother to talk nonsense with you. I'll ask someone to arrest you and throw you away later." Go to King Cheng and cut off your fingers one by one in front of him, do you think he will feel bad?"

"..."

This way of threatening made Xie Tangru think of His Royal Highness King Rong's brother, His Highness Duan Wang who once threatened him at Duke Wei's mansion.

As expected, they are all princes raised under the knees of the late emperor, and their way of thinking and doing things is exactly the same.

Thinking of this, Xie Tangru blinked innocently: "What did you say?"

King Rong was furious.

How could someone ignore him so much.

He pointed at Xie Tangru angrily, "Tie him up, strip him naked and send him to Shang Qingyao. If Shang Qingyao can't be caught without a fight, he will cut off the fingers of his beloved one by one."

"Beloved?" Xie Tangru's expression became strange.

"This king has seen it all before, you two bitches kissed me in broad daylight. Could it be that you still want to deceive this king? This king is very discerning, you can't easily fool me!"

His Highness King Rong's voice was high-pitched.

Xie Tangru was sullen and expressionless.

Who kissed me with Shang Qingyao?

He decided that it would be better to kill the King Rong who didn't know what to say when he spoke with Shang Qingyao first.
