Chapter 63 Listener, fortune teller
"Damn you."

Sun Hongying gritted her teeth and looked at Xu Lan. She felt that the first thing she did after breaking through the five realms was to kill the dog thief Xu Lan!

"Ah"

Xu Lan didn't even look at Sun Hongying,

Due to the influence of another consciousness in her body, Sun Hongying's personality goes from good to bad.

So in his eyes, his attitude towards Sun Hongying was different from other people's,
In general, it's just one sentence: don't get used to her.

At the same time, there was a sudden commotion at the city gate, and after a while, the crowd in front dispersed automatically.

A dozen attendants escorted a carriage slowly driving out of the city.

Wherever they went, the crowd was silent.

"Will there be practitioners from the four realms as escorts when traveling?"

Xu Lan looked at it for a while, and was quite surprised in her heart.

And just as the carriage passed by Xu Lan and others, a gust of breeze blew up a corner of the carriage's curtain.

Sitting in the carriage was a man with frosted temples, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
The next moment he seemed to notice something, opened his eyes and looked aside, just in line with Xu Lan's gaze.

The two faced each other for only the blink of an eye, but the look in each other's eyes left a deep impression on Xu Lan.

The eagle watches the wolf,

These four words are most suitable to describe the other person's eyes.

"He knows me?"

Xu Lan was secretly startled,

In the brief exchange of glances just now, he saw obvious surprise in the other person's eyes.

"You're a little unlucky."

At this time, Sun Hongying on the side sounded quite surprised. She had just learned the true identity of this person from the accompanying chamber of commerce clerk.

"Ok?"

Xu Lan showed a puzzled look,
"His name is Gu Baiyi."

The corners of Sun Hongying's mouth turned up slightly and she smiled: "In addition to being the eldest princess's confidant, he also has another identity."

"The Qian family?"

Xu Lan realized this instantly,
It is said that in the early years, the Qian family recruited a very talented scholar as his son-in-law. At first, he went to Beijing many times to catch the exam but failed to get any good results.

But then the eldest princess began to supervise the country,
I don't know what happened,
As a poor scholar, his talent was appreciated by the eldest princess, and he rose to prominence from then on.

"Well, it's him."

Sun Hongying said slowly: "Although the eldest princess has not given him any official position, his treatment has made some royal families extremely jealous."

"That's not bad."

When hearing Xu Lan's words, Sun Hongying's face was filled with questions.

"What's good?"

Sun Hongying said angrily: "If he knows that you are coming to Kyoto, we may not be able to move forward."

According to the laws of the Great Chu Dynasty, it is not too much to punish the Qian family who colluded with the Demon Sect.

But in fact the Qian family did not perish under the laws of Da Chu,

It was caused by Xu Lan alone.

Although there is not much difference between the two in terms of ending, it is completely different for Gu Baiyi.

"I mean the eldest princess is pretty good."

Xu Lan didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "According to the laws of the Great Chu, those who colluded with the Demon Sect will be punished by the Nine Clans, but why is Gu Baiyi okay?"

"This"

Sun Hongying suddenly ran out of words and didn't know how to refute.

"Because Gu Baiyi still has enough [value] for the eldest princess."

Xu Lan analyzed slowly: "And according to what you said, the eldest princess thinks highly of him but does not reward him with any official position. Do you think this is reasonable?"

"unreasonable."

Sun Hongying muttered, "But in Gu Baiyi's eyes, you are the murderer who wiped out the entire Qian family."

"so what?"

Xu Lan seemed to have remembered something and smiled: "Do you think that with Gu Baiyi's status, he will not know about my departure from Qingzhou?"

"If I guessed correctly, the local officials had already passed the news to Gu Baiyi when I left Qingzhou. He even knew what I looked like."

This must have been the source of the shock in Gu Baiyi's eyes during the brief exchange of glances just now.

"If that's the case, how can he do nothing?"

Sun Hongying felt a little unbelievable,

For Gu Baiyi, Xu Lan is his genocide enemy, even if there are people in the city, it is impossible to remain indifferent, right?

"It's very simple, he dare not."

Xu Lan said slowly: "For the Great Chu Dynasty, I am a person of merit. If Gu Baiyi deals with me, how will he gain a foothold in the court?"

"He is in a high position, why not dare?"

Sun Hongying pursed her lips and said, "He is a big celebrity in front of the eldest princess. No matter how many officials in the court, there is no time to curry favor with him."

Xu Lan:…….
"The Sun family has not declined in your hands. It is truly a blessing."

When he first came into contact with Sun Hongying, he still felt that the person who could control the Sun family should be a smart person.

But obviously after this period of "in-depth communication",

I also learned more about Sun Hongying and finally came to a conclusion.

Has brains, but not many.

"???"

Sun Hongying glared at him, this thief couldn't talk properly, could he?

"Don't make it difficult for yourself, you won't understand even if I say it."

Xu Lan stretched her waist, changed the subject and said, "I'm going to the chamber of commerce over there to find out about the situation."

If he wants to find his father, he must at least figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"Oh, he couldn't have secretly gone to the Xuanjing Division to find that person under the guise of asking for information."

Sun Hongying sneered,
Isn't it just a thorny thing to say? Who wouldn't?

"Yeah"

Xu Lan didn't even bother to look at her, she could think whatever she liked.

"you"

Seeing Xu Lan's attitude, Sun Hongying couldn't help but get angrier.

"I'll go with you!"

"Yeah"

"Xu Lan, just wait for me!"

"Yeah"

.......
In the bustling city of Kyoto,
A white-haired middle-aged man is drinking tea while listening to the story told by the storyteller.

He is leisurely and incompatible with the noisy downtown around him.

"It is said that the young master is the reincarnation of an immortal, and on the day he was born, all kinds of visions appeared in the world."

The white-haired man listened with interest.

The storyteller in front of him is telling the life story of the legendary figure who established the Great Chu Dynasty thousands of years ago.

The wonderful thing said, the crowd around applauded from time to time.

"Well said, it should be rewarded!"

The white-haired man was also very interested. He glanced at the ten-year-old girl who was following behind him and said, "Disciple, take the money."

"......."

The girl took a deep breath and said, "I have no money!"

"No, the teacher knows you have it."

The white-haired middle-aged man smiled and said: "Bring it quickly."

"Master, we haven't opened for a month"

The girl wanted to cry but had no tears,

Both the master and the apprentice are so poor that they can't tell the truth, why does he still have the time to reward the storyteller?
Just at this time,

The white-haired man seemed to have sensed something, and Wei Wei took a look at the direction of the city gate.

"who said it."

The white-haired man chuckled and said, "I will take you to open the shop for my teacher. I guarantee that this opening will be enough for our master and apprentice to live on for three years."

"really?"

The girl blinked, her big watery eyes showing a doubtful look.

"When did Master lie to you?"

"You have been lying to me since the moment you made me worship you as my teacher."

"..."

At this time, Xu Lan finally stepped into Kyoto after going through tedious inspections.

After entering Kyoto,

He and Sun Hongying separated from the people of Tianheng Chamber of Commerce.

According to the original plan,
Next, he will go to the residence of the Royal Chamber of Commerce in Kyoto to inquire about news.

Afterwards, Xu Lan and Sun Hongying came to an inn in the center of Kyoto. There was a plaque hanging on the extremely luxurious facade.

Listen to Yuxuan.

“Stay in an inn”

The corner of Xu Lan's mouth twitched slightly, although he had never heard of the name Ting Yuxuan,
But just from this location and such a luxurious facade, you can know that it will cost a lot of money to stay here for one night.

"Life is too short to have fun."

Sun Hongying said lazily: "If you don't take money with you when you are alive, you won't take it with you until you die. It's better to spend it to your heart's content than to save it for future generations."

"Are you talking about yourself?"

Xu Lan smiled slightly, and said: "It means that people cannot be resurrected after death. If the ancestors of the Sun family know that you have such a thing, they may not want to uncover the coffin."

The truth is this truth,
But when these words came out of Sun Hongying's mouth, it always seemed like something was wrong.

"you"

Sun Hongying was so angry that she gritted her teeth, stared at Xu Lan and said, "Then stop!"

"Okay, I don't care."

Xu Lan spread her hands to show that she was fearless.

I don't have any requirements for food, drink, housing and transportation. At worst, I just find an inn to live in casually.

"you"

Seeing that Xu Lan was about to turn around and leave, Sun Hongying grabbed Xu Lan's sleeve anxiously.

This will make Xu Lan go, so how can I practice myself?

"Ok?"

Looking back at the angry Sun Hongying, Xu Lan smiled and said, "I'm not allowed to live."

"Who told you not to let you live?"

Sun Hongying took a deep breath, and kept telling herself to endure, endure, endure
It's all about the big picture!

"Oh, woman."

Just when the two were having a great time fighting, a man and a woman appeared in front of them.

The man in front of him had rare white hair, was wearing a Taoist robe, and was holding a whisk in his hand. He looked a bit like a wandering cloud and wild crane.

As for the woman behind him, she has short hair. Although she is not stunning, her pair of bright and big eyes are particularly obvious.

"Do you two want to make a fortune?"

The white-haired man's eyes fell on Xu Lan's body, showing a harmless smile.

"No, no, no."

Sun Hongying was full of grievances and had nowhere to release, so she said coldly at the moment: "Do you two think we are easy to deceive?"

She has seen this kind of liar a lot.

"Girl, I haven't asked you yet."

The white-haired man was not angry, but said slowly, "I'm asking if this young master is lucky."

"?"

Sun Hongying had question marks all over her face, are liars so arrogant these days?
Xu Lan on the side couldn't hold it back and laughed directly. He could only say that it was worthy of being in Kyoto.

Even these fortune tellers are so unique.

"Me too, it doesn't count."

Xu Lan looked at the white-haired man in front of him, and felt nothing unusual after careful inspection.

Well, there is no real energy fluctuation in the body, so he should be an ordinary person.

"Young master, I have misunderstood. I am not a charlatan."

After being rejected, the white-haired man still said cheerfully: "It's just that the young master has extraordinary bearing, so he should be included in the hexagram."

Xu Lan:......

He ignored the white-haired man in front of him and continued to walk forward.

After all, I first arrived in Kyoto,

Before finding out about his father, he was unwilling to suffer any more setbacks.

"Master, didn't you agree to open for three years?"

The girl behind the man in white asked weakly: "Are you lying to me again?"

"Don't worry."

The white-haired man shook his head, then looked at Xu Lan's back and said loudly: "Sir, please stay."

Xu Lan, who was walking in front, didn't pay attention when he heard the white-haired man's voice, but the other person's next words made him stop.

"I wonder if you have ever heard that this man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade?"

Xu Lan slowly turned around and looked at the white-haired man in front of him, but the man just kept smiling.

"I don't know what you mean by this sentence, sir?"

Xu Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was a little turmoil in his heart.

"The meaning of this sentence is that a person himself is not guilty, but he becomes a guilty person if he takes something that he should not take."

The white-haired man smiled slightly and said, "Although the young master is extraordinary, there are some things that not everyone can afford."

Only then did Xu Lan determine what the other party was referring to.

It's just that he doesn't know,
Why can this ordinary-looking fortune teller in front of him see a ray of imperial luck in his body at a glance.

"I don't know if sir has heard of the four words?"

Xu Lan slowly raised her head and looked at the white-haired man, who asked calmly, "Which four words?"

"It's man-made."

The white-haired man was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed.

The laughter attracted many passers-by to point and point, but he didn't care about it.

It's man-made, just four words reminded him of some dusty past events.

Looking at Xu Lan in front of him, he gradually overlapped with the shadows of some old people in his memory.

"call"

The white-haired man stopped laughing but took a long breath of relief, looked at Xu Lan and said calmly: "It's a matter of human effort, but my eyesight is stupid."

I originally thought that Xu Lan was using some shady means to plunder a ray of luck for the Chu Dynasty.
But that doesn't seem to be the case now,

In a sense, it seemed that the wisp of royal luck was voluntarily hidden in Xu Lan's body.

"Each each other."

Xu Lan also laughed,

Although he couldn't detect any fluctuations of true energy from the white-haired man in front of him,

But how can a fortune teller who can see through the dynasty's luck in his body at a glance be an ordinary person?
Or even boldly imagine, is it really a coincidence that the two met?

"It just so happens that the two of us haven't had lunch yet. I wonder if sir, would you like to give me a favor?"

The next moment he seemed to think of something, and Xu Lan extended an invitation to him with a smile on his face.

"That's not good?"

The white-haired man pretended to decline,

He felt that he had to maintain his image as a superior person.

However, the stomach of the girl on the side was just right, and there was a gurgling sound.

"Master, is it really bad?"

The girl blinked her big eyes, showing a pitiful expression.

The master and apprentice lived a life of three meals a day and two hungry meals. How could they refuse a treat after a long time? !

White-haired man: ...

"Let's go together, it's okay."

Xu Lan smiled and said: "Just in time, I want to ask Mr. to make a fortune."

A fortune-teller is called a fortune teller.
The physiognomy belongs to one of the three teachings and nine streams.

I just arrived in Kyoto and I am not familiar with the place,
If there is someone who is familiar with the capital to help at this time, it can save a lot of trouble.

"it is good."

The white-haired man no longer continued to be pretentious,
After all, how could filling one's stomach be more important than pretending to be an expert?
After entering Tingyuxuan,
Sun Hongying asked the shopkeeper to arrange a private room and asked someone to prepare some food and drinks,
While waiting for the food to be served, Xu Lan and Sun Hongying returned to the room for a simple wash,

As for the white-haired master and apprentice, they were waiting in the private room.

"You just booked a room?"

Only then did Xu Lan know that Sun Hongying had only rented one room.

This. You really don't intend to let yourself rest, do you?

"What else?"

Sun Hongying lay directly on the bed and said lazily: "How about I open another room for you, and then wait until you have time to go to the Xuanjing Department to talk to Miss Chen about old times?"

Xu Lan:......

"Ever since you arrived in Kyoto, you have always kept saying what you said."

Xu Lan smiled and said, "As for being so nervous?"

"I am nervous?"

Sun Hongying picked up the pillow and threw it at Xu Lan, saying angrily, "I'm not nervous at all!"

"Yeah"

Xu Lan grabbed the pillow thrown over and said with a smile: "Let's go out again at night. I want to talk to that person."

"Just a street hustler, what's there to talk about?"

Sun Hongying asked suspiciously, "You don't really believe in a fortune teller, do you?"

"He is not a street liar."

Xu Lan paused slightly, and then said: "He has sensed the imperial luck in my body."

"Ok?"

Hearing that Sun Hongying showed a strange expression,

She was naturally aware of that ray of dynasty luck, but after spending many days with Xu Lan, she didn't feel any difference.

In other words, she couldn't detect the dynasty luck in Xu Lan's body even though she spent day and night with him.
How could a street crook guess it?

"Could he be cheating on you?"

Sun Hongying found it unbelievable.
If what Xu Lan said is true, then all this is too coincidental.

"No."

Xu Lan thought about it carefully, then shook her head and said, "Although I don't know how he sensed the royal luck in my body, he did know about it."

"Okay, as long as you know what's in your mind."

Sun Hongying yawned and said, "I won't go there later. This kind of meaningless interpersonal communication is meaningless to me."

Based on her understanding of Xu Lan,

There should be very few people in this world who can fool him.

"Ah."

It doesn't matter if people don't go, anyway, the bill will be hanging on her head later.

A moment later, in the private room.

Xu Lan appeared in the private room when Yuxuan's staff brought the dishes.

"Come, come, Xu Lan, sit down quickly."

When the white-haired man saw Xu Lan appear, he quickly asked him to sit down.
Then he turned around and looked at the apprentice who was salivating at the table and said: "Okay, now the guest is here, open the chopsticks!"

Xu Lan:......

It's pretty tricky.

"If I remember correctly, I should have never said my name since just now."

Xu Lan smiled and said, "I don't know how Mr. Know that my name is Xu Lan?"

 Let me report the results. Well, it should be about 12 by 800 o'clock.
  Although it did not reach the expected goal, 800 collections and [-] first orders are still good.

  Work hard to write, maybe you will be recommended
