Chapter 769 [Under the Brocade 65]
"Miss, you are joking. I don't know you." Lord Sima said expressionlessly, with a hint of indifference and alienation in his eyes.
"Really?" Youyou raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth. Her beautiful eyes stared at Lord Sima, as if she wanted to see through his eyes and see his true thoughts.
Seeing this, Chun Yumin, who was standing by, gently pulled Youyou's sleeve and whispered, "Sister Youyou, let's go back." There was a hint of uneasiness and worry on her face.
"Okay." Youyou responded readily, then turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment, Lord Sima suddenly said, "There are thieves outside now, and it is very dangerous. It would not be appropriate for you to go out rashly like this." His tone seemed concerned, but there was a hint of imperceptible cunning in his eyes.
"So what? As long as this girl wants to go out, no one can stop her!" Youyou said without turning her head, her voice clear and firm, as if nothing could stop her from moving forward.
Sima couldn't help but feel helpless, secretly regretting that he missed a good opportunity to be alone with Chun Yumin. But now that things had come to this, he couldn't stop them by force, so he could only watch Youyou and Chun Yumin leave.
After Youyou and Chun Yumin walked away, Lord Sima quickly took off the disguise on his face, revealing a hideous and terrifying face - it turned out to be Yan Shifan in disguise!
He gritted his teeth and sighed: "Little sister, you are still so sensitive. Even though I put on this realistic human skin mask, you could see through it at a glance." After that, he threw the disguise in his hand to the ground.
On the other side, after a period of rest and recuperation, Shangguan Xi has gradually recovered some strength. She glanced sharply at Dong Qisheng who was looking smug not far away, and secretly made up her mind to capture him first.
Yang Yue knew that the situation was critical at the moment. He took a deep breath and slowly took out a sharp dagger from his arms, ready to deal with any emergency that might occur at any time. Then, he stepped forward to attract the attention of Dong Qisheng and others, creating a perfect opportunity for Shangguan Xi to attack...
Shangguan Xi was quick-witted and grabbed Dong Qisheng, put the sword to his neck and shouted sternly: "Let them go immediately!" However, at this critical moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. It turned out that the police had arrived at the scene.
Dong Qisheng was horrified, but he did not surrender. He threw his hands and threw a handful of powdered medicine into the air. In an instant, white smoke filled the air, blurring everyone's vision. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dong Qisheng picked up Shangguan Xi and ran away like a frightened rabbit.
Yang Yue saw Shangguan Xi being kidnapped, and he was extremely anxious, so he chased after her without hesitation. On the other side, Yuan Jinxia found that Shangguan Xi and Yang Yue had suddenly disappeared, and she was immediately anxious, like an ant on a hot pot. Seeing this, Xie Xiao also hurriedly set out to look for their whereabouts.
At the same time, Lord Liao hurriedly ran to Yan Song, begging for mercy, hoping to be forgiven by Yan Song. However, Yan Song's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. He glanced at Lord Liao coldly, and without saying a word, he waved his hand to signal his men to force him out.
Time passed by, but there was still no news from Yang Yue and Shangguan Xi. Yuan Jinxia was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, restless. Finally, she could no longer suppress her anxiety and decided to go out and look for them herself.
At this time, Lu Yi, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Dong Qisheng is being chased by the soldiers, and he may give up holding them hostage because he cannot protect himself. If you go out to search blindly like this, it will not only be dangerous, but you may not get anything."
Hearing this, Xie Xiao was immediately furious and shouted at Lu Yi: "Are we just going to wait like this? Sister Youyou is gone." Yuan Jinxia had a look of disappointment on her face and turned around silently and went back to the room.
However, Lu Yi still comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to find them."
Shangguan Xi and Yang Yue had both fallen into the clutches of Dong Qisheng. Dong Qisheng imprisoned them in a dark and damp cave, and in order to prevent them from escaping, he beat Yang Yue so badly that his face was bruised and swollen that it was horrible to look at.
After Master Yuanming passed away, the emperor was very dissatisfied with the quality of the newly refined elixir. At this moment, someone reported that a Taoist priest who was said to be able to help people achieve immortality appeared in the capital. However, this Taoist priest was extremely arrogant and claimed that if you wanted to ask for advice on how to achieve immortality, you had to go to the Jinglu in the suburbs and wait in line, otherwise he would not meet you.
It is said that on that day, the emperor heard that the Taoist priest in the quiet house had great magical powers. On a whim, he took his eunuch with him and left the palace incognito and went straight to the quiet house. However, when he arrived at the place, he saw a crowd of people in front of the door, and there was actually a long queue. The guard was determined and insisted that the emperor also line up in order.
At this moment, a man in the crowd sneaked up to the eunuch beside the emperor and said in a low voice, "Sir, I have a badge that allows you to see the Taoist priest immediately. Do you want it?"
When the eunuch heard this, he thought to himself that if he kept waiting like this, he didn't know when it would be his master's turn, so he started to discuss it with the man.
In the end, the father-in-law had to pay a full twenty taels of silver to buy the so-called special license plate from the man.
After entering the inner hall of Jinglu, I finally saw the Taoist priest that was rumored to be there. After taking a closer look, I found that this person was none other than Lan Qingxuan.
Lan Qingxuan's eyes were sharp, and he saw through at a glance that the emperor and others had cut in line, but he did not get angry. He just slowly invited them out of the door and said, "I only answer questions and resolve doubts for those who are sincere in asking questions. What you are doing is really not the right way."
Facing this scene, the emperor was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled slightly, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Master, you are wrong. We came here out of sincerity. I hope you will not blame us."
Then, the emperor began to talk to Lan Qingxuan earnestly, and his words and actions showed the demeanor of a king.
Seeing this, Lan Qingxuan couldn't help but feel moved, so he re-examined the person in front of him.
After a while, the emperor took out his birth date and handed it to Lan Qingxuan, asking him to calculate it. Lan Qingxuan took the birth date and after a little thought, he began to calculate with his fingers.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly widened, his face full of astonishment, and he blurted out: "Looking at your horoscope, you have the appearance of a noble person who rules over thousands of people!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor laughed and shook his head, saying, "Master, please don't talk nonsense. I am just an ordinary person who grew up in the market. How could I have such a rich and noble fate? Moreover, Master, your words are suspected of seeking fame and reputation."
Lan Qingxuan was not intimidated when he heard this, and he immediately retorted: "Although you are so modest, how can you doubt the matter of fate? How about we make a bet? Within ten days, there will be a riot in the southeast. If this does not come true, I will leave the capital and never come back; but if it is really as you said, I hope you can keep your promise."
The emperor nodded slightly to show his agreement. Then, he reached into his bosom, took out a crystal clear jade token, placed it on the table, and said loudly: "Okay! If what the Taoist said is true, this jade token will belong to the Taoist."
Lan Qingxuan looked at the jade tablet carefully, and saw that it was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the workmanship was extremely fine. It was definitely not an ordinary thing. At this point, he suddenly realized that the seemingly ordinary man in front of him was actually the current emperor!
