Looking at Taoist Gu's dark eyes and his torn Taoist robe, Zhou Yu couldn't believe these serious words.
If he met other liars, Zhou Yu would have whipped them. However, because the emperor had studied Taoism for many years before he ascended the throne, he was somewhat partial to Taoism. Therefore, Zhou Yu was still polite to Gu Yingkan before he found out his true identity.
But he still looked at Gu Ying mockingly and said with a smile, "Should Taoist Gu change his Taoist robe first before saying this?"
However, he still underestimated Gu Ying's thick skin, because after hearing Zhou Yu's words, his face did not show the slightest embarrassment. He just sighed softly: "It is human nature for the young master to have doubts about Pindao's words." , It’s just that the young master doesn’t know that the reason why Pindao ended up in this situation is because of his difficulties.”
Zhou Yu had no purpose in going out this time, just to relax. When he saw a bluffing Taoist priest actually saying that he had a difficult time, he not only found it funny, but also found it interesting, so he couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what the Taoist priest has? ?”
Gu Yingkan smiled bitterly and said: "Young master, I don't know something. Poor people are very accurate in predicting bad luck and searching things and people. It's just because of my lack of knowledge that I don't dare to reveal the secrets. If it causes divine punishment, I'm afraid I will die." Burial place.”
How could Zhou Yu believe his nonsense? He laughed and said: "Since the Taoist master dare not reveal the secret, why do you need to do such things as predicting bad luck and searching things and people? It is better to practice Taoism with peace of mind and wait until you are advanced in Taoism before going down the mountain." .”
Gu Yingkan rarely showed a trace of embarrassment at this time: "The life of a Taoist cultivator is very hard and difficult for people to endure."
Zhou Yu saw that Taoist Gu admitted that he could not bear the harsh life of a Taoist cultivator, and felt that this man was quite honest, so he sighed: "Taoist master, it is better to go up the mountain to practice for a few years before going down."
However, Gu Yingkan showed an inscrutable smile: "Pindao doesn't cheat every time. If he really meets someone he is destined to meet, he will naturally give some advice."
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Isn't it possible that the Taoist Priest is not afraid of revealing the secret of heaven and being punished by heaven?"
Gu Ying looked at it and smiled and said: "If you leak the secrets once or twice in a year, you will be punished by God, but God is kind and your life will not be in danger."
Zhou Yu saw that Gu Yingkan was still talking nonsense, but his words were interesting and he did not expose him. He continued to tease: "Then for the Taoist priest, who is the destined person for the Taoist priest?"
Gu Ying looked Zhou Yu up and down, smiled and said, "I think the young master is the one destined for him."
"Why does the Taoist think that I am a destined person?"
Gu Ying looked at him and said, "Looking at the young master's appearance, he is extremely valuable. He is naturally a destined person."
Zhou Yu finally laughed out loud: "It turns out that the so-called "destined people" mentioned by the Taoist priest are those who are rich and powerful."
Gu Ying didn't deny it and said, "I came down the mountain precisely because I couldn't stand the hardship of life on the mountain. If I can get to know a noble person, it will naturally be my heart's wish."
Seeing that Gu Yingkan didn't hide his desire at all, he couldn't help but sigh: "You are still a real villain."
Gu Ying looked at it and said with a smile: "It is not easy to get the master's appreciation. If you don't tell the truth, you may not be able to escape the master's discerning eyes."
At this time, Zhou Yu was slightly startled, because he did not expect that Gu Yingkan wanted to take refuge. However, Gu Yingkan himself admitted that he was a liar, so there was no reason for him to accept him.
Gu Yingkan also saw that Zhou Yu did not accept his thoughts, and said with a smile: "If I can calculate where the person you are looking for is now, you will know that what I said is true."
After hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but be shocked, and said slowly: "Can you really relieve my worries?"
Gu Yingkan said calmly: "This matter can prove the truth or falsehood."
It was midsummer at this time, and the sun was strong. Zhou Yu had been standing under the sun for a long time, and his forehead was sweating slightly. Seeing the lush trees on the roadside, he waved to Gu Yingkan and walked to a shady place on the roadside.
Gu Yingkan immediately followed him. Zhou Yu's guards were about to follow and protect their master, but Zhou Yu waved his hand to signal them to stay where they were.
When Gu Yingkan came to his side, Zhou Yu said slowly: "Do you know my identity?"
Gu Yingkan shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Zhou Yu also knew that he was acting impulsively today and came to the west of the city to relax, so he believed Gu Yingkan's words eight or nine times.
"If you can really help me find that person, you will naturally not live such a miserable life in the future." At this point, his expression became serious again: "But if you dare to deceive me, there is no need for divine punishment, I can let you Your life is worse than death."
Seeing that his expression had not changed, Gu Ying smiled and said: "I know that the young master is of noble status, so how could I dare to deceive the young master? Just now I not only calculated that the person the young master is looking for is in the capital, but also where he appears in the capital."
Zhou Yu said with emotion: "Is this true?"
"Young master, you will know once you check."
Hearing this, Qiao Chu was shocked and said: "Did His Highness really catch Gao Chongming based on the words of that Taoist priest?"
Zhou Yu nodded slowly and sighed: "That's right. When I caught Gao Chongming, I felt like I was in a dream."
Qiao Chu said: "Don't His Highness think that Gu Yingkan was approaching on purpose?"
Zhou Yu said: "Gu Yingkan did not deny it."
Qiao Chu wondered: "Since Gu Yingkan is so capable, why is his reputation so low? And he still wants to cheat?"
Zhou Yu explained: "Gu Yingkan is indeed a man of real ability, but Taoists attach great importance to divine punishment. His Taoism is not deep, so he only does divination once or twice a year, and the rest It’s time to make a living by cheating.”
Qiao Chuqi asked: "Is there such a thing?"
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "In the past few years, he has made divination for me seven times, and he has been accurate every time, saving me many disasters, so I have more trust in this person." At this point, he looked at Qiao Chu again, He continued: "Speaking of which, Qiao Qing, you still have some relationship with this person."
Qiao Chu was shocked and said: "I have never met this person before, so why did your highness say this?"
Zhou Yu said: "After I solved the corruption case in the Ministry of Revenue, I gained the trust of my father and put the Ministry of Revenue in my charge. However, there were many people in the Ministry of Accounts to hold accountable at that time and there were insufficient manpower. I knew very little about the ministers in the DPRK at that time. So let Gu Yingkan find someone available for me."
Qiao Chu looked at Zhou Yu blankly, and after a long time he smiled bitterly and said, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"After Gu Ying read the divination, he thought Qiao Qing was a talented person, so he recommended you to me. And I am very satisfied with your performance in the past few years."
Qiao Chu was speechless at this time, because he thought the matter was too ridiculous, but what Zhou Yu said seemed so real that he was at a loss for a moment.
At this time, Zhou Yu's expression not only looked angry, but also a little confused.
"But during the battle between Dongyuan Zhiku and Qianqiu Zhiku, Gu Yingkan lost his hand. But even if he lost his hand, I didn't mean to blame him, but now he is missing. Obviously here He must have been lying about this matter."
Qiao Chu said slowly: "Could it be that Su Shi knew that His Highness would ask him for advice, so he bribed him secretly?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Even Qiao Qing doesn't know about my relationship with Gu Ying, so how could Su Shi know about it? Moreover, he was the one who reminded me to be careful about the people around me."
Qiao Chu looked extremely shocked at this time: "What did His Highness say just now? Was it Su Shi who reminded His Highness to be careful about the people around him?"
Zhou Yu told Qiao Chu about the conversation he had with Su Shi at the county government office in Cui. After hearing this, Qiao Chu felt a wave of emotion in her heart.
