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

He has done his best to help him, defuse the disaster of their family, and guide them to live, which is already considered to be benevolent and righteous, as long as there is no accident, maybe he will be able to see this man again when he returns to Jinling City one day.

But today, he had one thing he had to do.

In the early morning, the sun is rising.

Among the post stations outside Lixian, there was a team of chariots and horses along the official road in the direction of the capital.

This is the convoy of Zhao Rui, the king of Yue.

What happened yesterday didn't seem to affect the convoy's itinerary, and it was still on time when it was time to get on the road, but the only difference was that the convoy had at least half fewer guards than yesterday.

The rest of the guards were tired and a little nervous at the moment.

After experiencing the scene that happened yesterday, who can calm down their hearts?

Zhao Rui in the carriage was sitting there with his head propped up at the moment, his face was calm and serene, and he exuded the elegance of the palace nobles, which was completely different from yesterday's violent and ruthless appearance.

It seemed like it was just a trivial and interesting game for him.

The only one who was slightly worried in his heart was Yanagi, Mr. Yanagi.

As a staff member, Mr. Liu is riding on a 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 a game like today, and he would play it again another day.

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

And because of the game of the prince yesterday, this immortal broke the killing ring and killed the Hao family of five.

Although the wisdom of the prince made that person take the initiative to admit defeat, the reason why that person admitted defeat was nothing more than to pity the world.

The carriage and horses continued on their way, silently.

When it was noon, I was supposed to stop and fix one or two, but suddenly.

A boulder appeared on the original official road.

This boulder is six or seven zhang high, spanning nearly half a mile, directly blocking the entire official road, if you want to pass through here, you either have to climb over the past, or take a detour.

"Mr. Liu, you see, there is a boulder blocking the road ahead, should we take a detour?" said the escort who was exploring the road in front of him rode back on horseback.

Mr. Liu frowned, "The appearance of this boulder on the official road is extremely abrupt, it is not like it appeared here before, and it is more than one day, and there are no people in front of the boulder, and the convoy stops, which is enough to see that this appearance has not been long...... Otherwise, the official road is blocked

Stop, how can there be no government to rectify it?"

Having said that, he was skeptical in his heart.

If such a boulder really came out overnight, then what caused this boulder to fall here?

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

That's it.

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

So saying, 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 on the boulder, leading straight to the top.

And on top of the boulder there is a gazebo.

There was a group of people sitting in the pavilion, holding a quaint book in his hand, as if he was reading it carefully.

"It's the Taoist from yesterday. Mr. Liu's expression was a little surprised.

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

"Liu Sheng has seen the Tengyunzi Immortal, I don't know what happened to the Immortal who summoned a boulder and lay on the official road?"

Mr. Liu still didn't understand that this boulder was moved by this immortal with a spell.

Li Xiuyuan slowly put down the book of life and death at this time, his eyes moved slightly, he checked the four books of life and death in his hand last night, but he did not find the name of this 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 can'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, called Feilaifeng, I have been depressed since the poor road left yesterday, and I was really dissatisfied with the loss of the poor road that time, so I had to block the road and wait today, hoping that the prince of Zhao Rui can gamble with the poor road again, Liu."

The gentleman also conveyed the meaning of the poor road to the prince, and the poor said thank you. ”

Mr. Liu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Dao Chief, you are an immortal, why should you be like us mortals, there is indeed something wrong with the prince's affairs yesterday, but Dao Chang should tolerate one or two, after all, he is the younger brother of today's official family, the King of Yue of the Great Song Kingdom." ”

"That's right, the prince of the Great Song Kingdom 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 that he is worried about his own trouble, but Mr. Liu serves such a vicious prince, do you think that you can get a good death

Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

With a cold sweat on Mr. Liu's forehead, the words of the immortal must be very effective.

Perhaps the immortal had already seen his own unfortunate future, so he said such a thing.

"Then, what should the immortals do?" Mr. Liu hurriedly asked.

Li Xiuyuan said: "If you can let go of your identity as a staff member and stay away from this prince, you may be able to enjoy your old age in peace." ”

"This, this ......"

Mr. Liu hesitated, asking him to give up his identity as a staff member was undoubtedly to give up his hard-won rights and status, like a scholar like him, he didn't know how enviable it was to become a staff member next to the prince, and ordinary people couldn't ask for it.

"You are greedy for power, status, and aiding in abuse, so Poor Dao won't persuade you to do anything, let that Zhao Rui come over, Poor Dao is waiting for him here. Li Xiuyuan waved his hand casually after speaking.

A gust of wind blew up.

Yanagi only felt dizzy, his eyes couldn't see clearly, and when he reappeared, he had already returned to the bottom of the flying peak.

He didn't dare to climb the mountain again, so he had to turn around and go back and tell the prince Zhao Rui about the matter.

Zhao Rui, who was in the carriage, was resting with his head propped up, and after he heard Mr. Liu's announcement, he immediately opened his eyes: "Oh, yes? That Taoist actually appeared so quickly." ”

Then he showed a playful smile, "Interesting, interesting, really interesting, this king still thinks this Taoist has no temper, it turns out that there is still a bit of blood, yesterday the game lost to this king, and now I can't wait to win it back so soon, okay, it's good, this king is not afraid to come again."

When others bet with me, I'm afraid that I won't come to gamble. ”

"Hehe, the king has no interest in winning ordinary people, if he can win the immortals a few times, this is something to be happy about. ”

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

"Haha, the Taoist has not seen you for a day, and you are in a good mood? Yesterday, the demeanor of the Taoist made this king admire in his heart, and he cut off five heads in a gesture, I don't know what the Taoist chief is waiting for this king to play with this king today?" Zhao Rui strode up the mountain.

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

"As a relative of the emperor, the prince was canonized as the king of Yue, his status is extraordinary, he can be regarded as above ten thousand people, under one person, and he can be said to be rich and glorious all his life, why does the prince not want to do something for the country and the people, but likes to play with people's lives? Is it in the eyes of the prince

Is human life so worthless?"

Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

"Hey, this king is happy, can you manage it? This world belongs to our Zhao family, what does it matter if you kill a few untouchables, as long as they can please this king, they can be regarded as a well-deserved death. Zhao Rui said with a smile.

Li Xiuyuan didn't refute, but nodded and said, "Sure enough, your viciousness and ruthlessness have penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and there is no cure in the world with any good medicine, since this is the case, Poor Dao will know what to do." ”

"You lost to this king yesterday, and if you lose again today, this king will not tolerate you anymore. Zhao Rui said playfully.

Li Xiuyuan said: "This is natural, but yesterday's two games were decided by you, and today Poor Dao will also play two games with you, but the gameplay has to be determined by Poor Dao, but I don't know if you can afford to play this prince?"

"Haha, of course you can, the Taoist game Benwang hasn't played yet, but what if Benwang wins?" Zhao Rui said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I ask to let the prince mention it, but if the poor road wins, I want the prince's two legs." ”

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

"If this king wins, this king will divide your five horses into five pieces. Zhao Rui said fiercely.

"Haha, that's it for today, so let's start the game. ”

Li Xiuyuan laughed out loud.

The wicked always want the wicked to govern, and he will be a wicked man today to govern this Yue King Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui also laughed, laughing very happily, it is rare for someone to dare to continue to play with himself, I hope this Taoist has some ability, don't be as easy as others to be played to death.

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

It's noon at the moment.

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

"There is a way that the sky has unpredictable storms and clouds, people have good and bad luck, the joy and anger of God can not be guessed, and the blessings and misfortunes of people are difficult to assert, so the first game of this poor road is to guess the weather, I don't know that the prince is standing on this Feilai peak looking at the sky, and feels that the weather above the sky after a quarter of an hour is

Sunny or rainy?"

Li Xiuyuan said lightly, and 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 as simple as that. Li Xiu said from afar.

Zhao Rui smiled, "Okay, then the king will come and guess, Mr. Liu, you all come over to this king." ”

Then he shouted.

Liu Sheng at the foot of the mountain had a pale face at the moment, and he didn't know what was going on on the mountain, but he still honestly gathered all the guards to meet him.

"Lord Wang. Mr. Liu said respectfully.

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

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

"Mr. Liu is the king's staff, he is resourceful, it is not difficult to watch the celestial weather, and the king hopes that Mr. Liu will give an opinion. Zhao Rui said with a smile: "It's okay for Mr. to say it, this king will adopt it at his discretion." ”

Mr. Liu touched the cold sweat on his forehead at this moment, and his heart trembled, is it a riddle?

Guessing the riddle yesterday, guessing that the guard's foot stepped into the threshold first, but the guard was cut off his legs because he caused the prince to lose, and he still remembers the tragic situation..... I didn't expect it to be my turn today.

Great calamity is coming, great calamity is coming......

As a staff member, he instinctively sensed the crisis, but now it was already difficult to ride the tiger.

"Mr. Liu, as a staff member, do you have to think about such a simple question for so long? You don't have any wisdom at all, so what's the use of this king asking you as a staff member? Zhao Rui shouted.

Immediately, a guard came up with a fist clench.

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

A hundred sticks?

Mr. Liu was dizzy when he heard this, his body would break his waist if he didn't have twenty sticks, and fifty sticks was already a corpse, a hundred sticks, which was equivalent to beating him to death, and he would whip the corpse by the way.

"Yes, my lord. The guards had no room to resist the order, and when they answered, they wanted to escort Yanagi.

Liu Sheng was sweating profusely, and at this time he shouted: "Lord, Lord, I guess it's a sunny day, it's a sunny day, the sun is in full bloom right now, the sky is clear, there is no cloud, and there is no possibility of rain, so I think it's still sunny after a quarter of an hour." ”

"Stop, let go of Mr. Liu. ”

Zhao Rui's cold expression suddenly showed a happy look, and he laughed and said: "Mr. Liu is really worthy of being the king's staff, this statement is reasonable and convincing, okay, this king adopted Mr. Liu's suggestion, and guessed that it would be sunny in a quarter of an hour." ”

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

The ancients said that he was like a tiger, and he now felt that he was not accompanying a tiger, but a man-eating ghost, a vicious wolf.

It's scary all the time.

But before Mr. Liu's breath was relieved, Zhao Rui smiled again: "This king adopts Mr. Liu's strategy, if it is not right later, and this king loses this game, Mr. Liu's hundred sticks can be made up, if Mr. Liu's plan is useful, then this king will be rewarded with a thousand gold and ten people when he turns back."

The beauty gave Mr. Liu, I hope Mr. Liu will not disappoint this king. ”

"Ah~!"

Mr. Liu's frightened face was pale and bloodless, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.

"Okay, this king guesses that it will be a sunny day in a quarter of an hour, so please do it. Zhao Rui said with a smile.
