Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Chapter 619: Taoist Master Ku Rong

Pingzhou, Changli

Cao Huating stood outside the door waiting to be summoned. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy drew the strip quickly. Although he looked thin, he was tall enough.

Cao Huating, whose real name was Zhu Huating, was originally from the South. In the second year of Tianhe, he was secretly sent away together with other survivors of the Zhu family.

It has been two or three years since I arrived in Pingzhou. As time goes by, all the pain has slowly healed. Of course, the deepest pain and the hatred of being nearly exterminated are still buried deep in my heart.

In fact, after the Pingzhou incident, the governor told him that they no longer needed to remain anonymous. If they wanted to use their original surnames, they could change them back.

But at that time, he already had a vague idea in his mind, so he did not change it back, but continued to use the surname Cao.

Because even Ning Changge didn't recognize him when they met him for the first time at Liaodong Academy.

Over the years, the surviving Zhu family disciples have kept a low profile and have been working hard and studying day and night.

Until a few days ago, he felt that he had achieved some success, and the master at the academy said that there was nothing more to teach him and suggested that he should join the world and practice.

So, he came to the governor and prepared to talk to her about his ideas and plans.

"Cao Rusheng, the governor has invited me."

Cao Huating straightened his clothes before walking in with a high head.

After Lu Songli listened to his request, she was silent for a long time before asking, "Have you discussed this matter? Have you all decided?"

"Yes."

"The path you choose may lead to misunderstandings and abuse from the world. It will be very difficult."

"Governor, we have thought about it, and we are not afraid of being misunderstood." The momentary grievance is nothing, he is planning for the future.

"Okay, now that you've decided, let's go ahead and do it." And she just needed such a group of people.

……

As soon as Cao Huating came out, his younger brother Cao Huaying came forward and said, "How are you, brother Huating? Has the governor agreed?"

"Ah."

After receiving a positive answer, Cao Huaying didn't know how to react.

Cao Huating glanced at him and said, "Don't think too much. This is our Zhu family's fate and our Zhu family's opportunity."

"Pingzhou has developed so well and attracted so many talents. As for business, in addition to the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce established by the governor himself, there are also the Ji family, the Gu family, and local businessmen in Pingzhou, etc. , our Zhu family doesn’t have many opportunities.”

Cao Huaying nodded, he knew all this.

"We don't have the capital to compare with them. Our Zhu family can only find other ways to catch up."

"Brother Huating, let's work hard together to restore the family's glory in the future."

Changan

Early that morning, Yongning Gate was under martial law and officers and soldiers cleared the way.

A luxurious carriage stopped not far away.

This posture looks unusual.

The people couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"Is this the carriage of the Governor's Palace?"

"More than that, this car seems to be Governor Xie's car."

"Thank you, the Governor, for the personal welcome - is there any important person arriving in Chang'an?"

"You don't know, Taoist Master Kurong is coming to Chang'an."

"Ah, has the Emperor found Taoist Master Ku Rong?"

"Yes, I heard that Taoist Master Kurong didn't know where he was practicing in the mountains before. The emperor found him with great difficulty."

"Dali has indeed experienced many disasters in recent years. We should really invite Taoist Master Kurong to come and take a look."

Luo Da, who was working part-time, heard this and wanted to bury his head in his chest.

Luo Da was really frightened. He couldn't bear to hear the words "disaster", which would make him feel that his family was like a broom star.

From Nandi to Nanyang, then to Yanmen, and finally to Chang'an. Their family was displaced and had an indissoluble bond with disaster.

After arriving in Chang'an, although there were no natural disasters in Chang'an, people in the Zhou Kingdom said that Dali was obviously more turbulent than before in recent years.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Luo Da felt very uneasy when he heard these words.

A while ago, Pingzhou used the interests of the East China Sea in exchange for the promise that the people could leave Dali freely within seven days. At that time, he wanted to leave Chang'an.

Later, people from Pingzhou found him privately, persuaded him, and left some money with them to ensure their family's livelihood.

In fact, that person was right. It was much safer to stay in Chang'an than to go to Pingzhou or elsewhere. Their family has stayed in Chang'an for several years, and at least they have not encountered any natural disasters.

Outside Chang'an City, a dilapidated carriage was driving.

The boy let go of the handlebar and asked uneasily, "Master, do we have to go to Chang'an?"

In the carriage, the gray-haired old man replied, "Yes."

"Master, you said that the northwest is the place where you should be robbed. Can't we avoid it?"

The old Taoist shook his head and said, "This is the fate of my fate and I cannot avoid it."

"Taoist Priest, Chang'an City has arrived."

After the boy paid the money, the old Taoist took him towards the gate of Chang'an City.

At this time, Xie Zhan got off the carriage and smiled, "Master Kurong——"

The old Taoist looked at him steadily and said with certainty, "You are Governor Xie."

"Master Kurong has good eyesight."

The old man shook his head and said nothing.

"Master Kurong, please get in the carriage. The emperor is waiting for you. Let's go directly to the palace."

The old man had no objection and got on the bus directly.

At this moment, Xie Zhan received the person and the carriage slowly walked back.

"Give way, give way--"

At this moment, the old Taoist happened to see Luo Da on the roadside, and couldn't help but exclaimed, this man's face...

Xie Zhan is a very perceptive person. He immediately noticed something unusual about Daoist Kurong, "What's wrong with Daoist Kurong?"

Taoist Master Kurong shook his head.

Xie Zhan even looked back and found nothing strange.

The carriage arrived at the palace. When Xie Zhan and others got off the carriage, they discovered that Song Mo had come to the palace gate in person to greet them.

Xie Zhan wisely proposed to resign and was accepted.

That night, with the bright moon in the sky, Song Mo and Taoist Master Kurong sat quietly at the star observatory.

"Taoist Master Kurong, I would like to appoint you as the Grand Master of Dali. What do you think?"

"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty, but I'm used to being carefree and can't stay in one place for a long time."

"Even the palace can't do it?"

"Please, Your Majesty, be considerate. I am approaching the end of my life. I just want to see more of the mountains and rivers before I die."

Song Mo nodded regretfully, "I just heard that you have a pair of eyes that can detect the stars and predict the fate of the country. When reading people's faces, you can even tell a person's past and future from their faces and palms."

"Master, I want you to see the fate of my country, Dali, is that okay?"

"Blessings are immeasurable, the Heavenly Lord." Master Kurong bowed before saying, "Your Majesty, this is a heavenly secret and must not be revealed."

Song Mo was naturally dissatisfied with his answer.

"Then let's change the question. What does Master think of my destiny?"

"Your Majesty is the order of the Nine-Five Supreme Being, so your destiny is naturally excellent."

Song Mo looked directly at him, "Since you don't want to answer these two questions, let me ask the last question. I would like to know if it is possible for Pingzhou Lu Songli to replace me?"

The old man looked at the starry sky and said nothing.

The horoscope at this time is completely different from that of three years ago.

The clearest thing about the horoscope at that time was that in the north there were signs of converging with Lucun and Tianfu, while in the south there were signs of descending Qisha as power.

Now in the northern astrology, twin purple stars, one yin and one yang, are surrounding each other, making the stars shine brighter and brighter. The seven kills in the south are fatal, and the purple stars are dim and appear to be falling.

"Your Majesty, people have joys and sorrows, the moon waxes and wanes, birth, old age, illness and death, the seasons change. Your Majesty, you just need to let nature take its course. All problems will be solved."

"Taoist Priest, there is no need to use these words to deal with me. You know what I want to hear. I don't want to embarrass you. Please choose one of the three questions to answer."

"Then I'll be brave enough to talk about the emperor's fate."

"I won't talk about the past, just talk about the present and the future. The old way of observing the stars, usually there are nine stars in the sky, seven are visible and two are hidden. Now two stars are visible, and the auxiliary stars are Fuhu and Kaiyang, so the auxiliary fight is successful. When the auxiliary stars are bright, the ministers will be successful. Strong. So although Ziweixing is dark, it is supported by strong ministers."

What the old man didn't say is that the Southern Seven Kills were destined to be killed, and the auxiliary star was transformed by the Seven Kills. It really can't be said whether it is good or bad.

It can only be said that the coincidence of Qisha and Auxiliary Star is like drinking poison to quench thirst for Dali and Song Mo, the emperor.
