Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 606 Unforeseen circumstances
Li Xiuyuan didn't pay much attention to the situation of Hao Zhao's family after that.

He has done his best to help him, resolved the disaster of their family, and pointed out their way of life. He has done his best. As long as there are no accidents, maybe he will see him again when he returns to Jinling City. this guy.

But today, he has one thing that must be done.

In the early morning, the sun rises.

In the post station outside Li County, there was a group of chariots and horses heading towards the capital along the official road.

This is the team of Yue Wang Zhao Rui.

Everything that happened yesterday didn't seem to affect the itinerary of the convoy. When it was time to go on the road, it was still on time. The only difference was that the number of guards accompanying the convoy was at least half less than yesterday.

And the rest of the guards looked tired at the moment, a little stiff and nervous.

After experiencing the scenes that happened yesterday, who can calm down?
Zhao Rui in the carriage was sitting there resting with his head propped up, his face was calm and serene, his whole body exuded the elegance of a royal aristocrat, completely different from the violent and ruthless look yesterday.

Seems like a trivial fun game to him.

The only person who was slightly worried was Liu Sheng, Mr. Liu.

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

How could the promise made by the immortal not be fulfilled?

And because of the prince's game yesterday, the immortal broke the precept of killing and killed five members of the Hao family.

Although the prince's intelligence made the Taoist admit defeat, the reason why the Taoist surrendered was nothing more than pity for the world.

The chariots and horses continued to move forward, all the way silently.

When it was noon, I was supposed to stop for a rest, but suddenly.

A boulder unexpectedly appeared on the original official road.

This gigantic boulder is six or seven feet high and spans nearly half a mile, blocking the entire official road directly. If you want to pass here, you have to climb over it or take a detour.

"Mr. Liu, look, there is a boulder blocking the way ahead, should we take a detour?" The guard who was exploring the way came back on horseback and reported.

Mr. Liu frowned; "The gigantic boulder above the official road appears extremely abruptly, it doesn't seem to have appeared here before, it seems to have been added in a day, and there are no people in front of the boulder. Staying here is enough to show that it didn't take long. Otherwise, the official road will be blocked.

Sai, how come there is no government to rectify? "

Having said that, he was uncertain in his heart.

If such huge boulders really appeared overnight, what is the reason for this huge boulder to fall here?

I'm afraid it's caused by ghosts, ghosts and gods first-class cast spells.

Thinking of this.

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

As he spoke, he immediately rode away and came to the foot of the boulder.

Looking up, Mr. Liu suddenly found that there was a section of steps leading directly to the boulder.

And there is a pavilion built on the boulder.

There is a person sitting there in the gazebo, holding a simple book in his hand, and seems to be flipping through it seriously.

"It's the Taoist from yesterday." Mr. Liu's expression turned serious, and he became a little surprised.

Immediately, he turned over in a hurry and followed the steps to the boulder.

"Liu Sheng has seen the Immortal Tengyunzi, but he doesn't know why the Immortal summoned a huge stone and lay down on the official road?"

Mr. Liu still doesn't understand that this giant stone was moved by this immortal.

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 did not find the name of Zhao Rui.

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

In other words, he couldn't see Zhao Rui's life and death.

"Mr. Liu, we meet again."

Li Xiuyuan smiled suddenly: "This is a magic weapon that I got by chance, it's called Feilai Peak. After Pindao left yesterday, I have been depressed. I really don't accept that I lost the bet against Pindao, so today I have to do it." Blocking the road and waiting, I hope that Prince Zhao Rui can have another round of betting with Pindao, Liu
Mr. and conveyed Pindao's intentions to the prince, and Pindao thanked him. "

Mr. Liu was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "You are a fairy, so why should you be as knowledgeable as us mortals? It is true that what happened to the prince yesterday was wrong, but the Taoist priest should tolerate one or two things. After all, he is an official today. His younger brother, King Yue of the Great Song Kingdom."

"That's right, the princes of the Great Song Kingdom are indeed noble and extraordinary, but in the face of life and death, everyone is the same. If Mr. Liu refuses to tell the truth, it is nothing more than worrying about harming himself, but Mr. Liu serves such a vicious man. My lord, do you think you can have a good death?
? " Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

Cold sweat broke out on Mr. Liu's forehead, the immortal's words must be very effective.

Perhaps the immortal has already seen his own future, which is why he said such words.

"Then, how dare I ask the immortal what should I do?" Mr. Liu asked hurriedly.

Li Xiuyuan said: "If you can let go of your status as an aide and stay away from this prince, maybe you can enjoy your old age in peace."

"This, this."

Mr. Liu hesitated. Asking him to give up his status as an aide is undoubtedly giving up his hard-won rights and status. For a scholar like him, it is an enviable thing to be an aide next to the prince. Can't ask for it.

"You are greedy for power, status, and helping the evildoers, so Pindao won't persuade you. Let Zhao Rui come over. Pindao is waiting for him here." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand after speaking.

A gust of wind rolled up.

Liu Sheng only felt dizzy for a while, his eyes couldn't see clearly, but when he reappeared, he had already returned to the bottom of Feilai Peak.

He didn't dare to go up the mountain again, so he had to turn around and go back, and reported this matter to Prince Zhao Rui.

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

Then he showed a teasing smile; "Interesting, interesting, really interesting, I thought this Taoist had no temper, so he still has a bit of blood, I lost the game to this king yesterday, and now I can't wait so soon If you want to win back, well, well done, I'm not afraid to come back again

When others gamble with me, they are afraid that they will not come to gamble. "

"Hehe, I don't have any interest in beating ordinary human kings anymore. If I can win against immortals a few times, that's something to be happy about."

As soon as his eyes lit up, Zhao Rui immediately stepped out of the carriage, and then called the guards to lead a fine horse, then rode on the horse, and ran towards Feilai Peak with a few followers.

"Haha, how is the Taoist chief in a good mood after not seeing him for a day? The demeanor of the Taoist priest yesterday made me admire him in my heart. He chopped off five heads with every gesture. I don't know why the Taoist priest is blocking the way today. What are you playing with me?" Zhao Rui strode up the mountain.

But in the gazebo, the Taoist priest yesterday was drinking tea and reading a book, leisurely.

"As a relative of the emperor, the prince was conferred the title of King of Yue. He has an extraordinary status. He can be regarded as above ten thousand people, but under one person. He can be said to be rich and prosperous all 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? Could it be that in your eyes, my lord?

In the world, is human life so worthless? "

Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

"Hey, I'm happy. Can you, a Taoist, take care of you? The whole world belongs to our Zhao family. It's nothing to kill a few untouchables. As long as they can please me, they deserve to die." Zhao Rui laughed. said.

Li Xiuyuan did not refute, but nodded and said, "Sure enough, your viciousness and ruthlessness have penetrated into the marrow of your bones, and no good medicine in the world can cure it. If this is the case, Pindao also knows what to do."

"You Taoist lost to this king yesterday. If you lose again today, this king will never forgive you." Zhao Rui said playfully.

Li Xiuyuan said: "That's natural, but yesterday's two games were decided by you, and today Pindao will also play two games with you, but the gameplay has to be decided by Pindao, but I don't know if you, the prince, can play it." Can you afford it?"

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

Li Xiuyuan said: "Your request is up to the lord, but if the poor way wins, I want your two legs from the lord."

After speaking, he pointed to Zhao Rui's legs and said.

"If this king wins, this king will cut you into pieces." Zhao Rui said fiercely.

"Haha, this is the case today, so let's start the game."

Li Xiuyuan laughed out loud.

The villain always wants the villain to rule, and today he wants to be the villain again, to rule the king of Yue, Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui also laughed, very happy, it's rare that someone dares to continue to play with him, I hope this Taoist has some skills, so he won't be played to death by himself as easily as others.

"Then Pindao will also play a guessing game with the prince today. This game is very simple. I believe it should not be difficult to understand with the wisdom of the prince." Li Xiuyuan stood up slowly, and then looked at the sky outside.

It's noon now.

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

"There is a saying that there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. The joy and anger of heaven cannot be guessed, and the blessings and misfortunes of people are also difficult to judge. Therefore, the first game of this poor man is to guess the weather. I don't know where the prince stands. Looking at the sky on Feilai Peak, I feel that the weather above the sky in a quarter of an hour will be

Sunny or rainy? "

Li Xiuyuan said indifferently, then looked back at Zhao Rui.

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

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

Zhao Rui smiled and said, "Okay, then I will take a guess. Mr. Liu, you all come here for me."

Then he yelled loudly.

At the bottom of the mountain, Liu Sheng's expression turned serious. He didn't know what happened on the mountain, but he still obediently summoned all the guards to go up to him.

"My lord." Mr. Liu saluted respectfully.

Zhao Rui said: "This king is playing a guessing game with this Taoist priest. He is 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 startled suddenly, 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. He is very resourceful. It's not difficult to see the sky and the weather. I hope Mr. Liu can give me some advice." Zhao Rui said with a smile: "It's okay to say what you want, my king will consider it and accept it."

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

Yesterday, he guessed the riddle and guessed which foot of the guard would step into the threshold first. As a result, the guard had his legs cut off because he caused the prince to lose. He still remembered the tragedy until now, but he did not expect that it was his turn today.

Doom is coming, doom is coming
As a staff member, he instinctively sensed the crisis, but right now he was already in a difficult situation.

"Mr. Liu, as an aide, do you have to think about such a simple question for so long? You have no wisdom at all. What is the use of this king wanting you as an aide? Come on." Zhao Rui shouted.

Immediately, a guard greeted him with cupped fists.

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

One hundred sticks?

Mr. Liu was dizzy from hearing this, his body would be broken in less than twenty sticks, fifty sticks would already be a corpse, and a hundred sticks would be equivalent to beating to death, and whipping the corpse along the way.

"Yes, my lord." The guards had no room to resist the order, they responded and wanted to take Liu Sheng down.

Liu Sheng was sweating profusely, and shouted at this moment: "My lord, my lord, I guess it's a sunny day, it's a sunny day, the sun is shining right now, the sky is clear, there is no cloud in the sky, and there is no possibility of rain, so I think it will be a quarter of an hour later." It's still sunny."

"Stop, let go of Mr. Liu."

Zhao Rui's cold expression suddenly revealed a look of joy, he laughed and said: "Mr. Liu is indeed worthy of being my king's aide, this statement is well-founded and convincing, well, this king has adopted Mr. Liu, you This suggestion, just guess that it will be sunny in a quarter of an hour."

"Thank you, my lord." Mr. Liu walked around from the edge of life and death, and at this moment he breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body was about to collapse.

The ancients said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Now he feels that he is not accompanying a tiger, but an evil ghost that eats people, a vicious wolf.

It's scary every time.

But before Mr. Liu's breath was relieved, Zhao Rui smiled again: "This king adopted Mr. Liu's strategy. If it is not right later, this king will lose this game. Mr. Liu's one hundred The stick can be replaced. If Mr. Liu's strategy is useful, then the king will reward a thousand gold and send ten

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

"Ah~!"

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

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