Liu Xiuyou was excited after hearing the introduction from the Taoist priest with a grimace, showing a joy that was rare in the past few days. Although this wealthy prince was not popular among the royal family, he was still good at figuring out the holy meaning. Emperor Liu Ziye formed a counter-attack army. Whether it was on a whim or on purpose to camp for a long time, he had to find the man who carried the flag in the camp. The other soldiers who contributed to the camp could capture hundreds of people from anywhere in the huge imperial city. To top up the numbers, the most important thing is to have a professional who can carry the flag, understand Feng Shui, and touch gold, and the number should not be too many. Three or two people are enough to lead the team. If there are too many people in the robbery, There are many factions, each with different ideas. When the time comes, a hundred chickens will nod their heads randomly, but they will get twice the result with twice the result.
And the Taoist priest in front of me claimed that he was from Qiumen, and he was a descendant of Taibao Zhenjun. It was perfect for him to lead the team with the strong black man, both civil and military. Now he just wanted to try this man's ability. If what he said was true, then the date of the meeting was not far away. He turned to the back of the hall and said, "Come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain at the back of the hall was lifted, and then a man walked out from the back hall. He was over fifty years old and had a stooped body. He was wearing a gray cloth gown and light linen shoes. He looked like an ordinary Jianghu man. However, the man was carrying something behind his back that attracted the Taoist Priest's attention. The object was about four feet long and black and shiny. It should be made of fine iron. It looked like a judge's pen. This weapon was in Jianghu. Very few people use it, and even when they are encountered, they are usually half an arm's length. They are hidden weapons used for close combat. This is the first time I have seen a Taoist priest with a ghost face that is so long that it can almost catch up with a short spear.
The grimace Taoist priest looked at the man's attire and the judge's pen behind him, and suddenly felt a little familiar. As he was thinking about it, the old man after saluting spoke first: "My name is Li Tianwen, and I am the descendant of Criticizing Judge Tian. Fortunately, I’ll be glad to meet you.”
The grim-faced Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, and it suddenly dawned on him that this person was not an ordinary fortune teller, but the successor of the ninth-ranked fortune teller in the family pedigree.
Naturally, you have heard of the grim-faced Taoist priests who are famous for criticizing judges. It is said that this sect started in the early Han Dynasty. It is a branch of the thieves sect derived from the gold point physiognomist of the rivers and lakes. It was originally supposed to be under the control of the Jinmen sect, but it got into the business of fighting. , was classified as a thief.
The criticizing judge is different from the ordinary fortune teller. Although the main means of making a living is to walk the streets and tell fortunes, the criticizing judge only does business in Jianghu. On weekdays, he will hold a flag in his left hand and write a letter with the word "Criticizing fate". As long as the Jianghu people see him, he will With this banner, you can know his identity. If you need to predict good or bad luck, you will ask him to buy a fortune. The criticizing judge gradually became famous in the world because of his good fortune, and he was praised by many people in the world. People call him "divination fortune immortal", and there is even a comment in the Hanling genealogy that "if you want to act, you must first find the immortal".
In the prosperous years, the critical judge was engaged in the business of using people's money to prevent disasters. However, in troubled times, he would also personally fight for gold, because the fortune teller knew more than just divination, dream interpretation, and fortune telling. Kanyu's ability to choose a house was quite good, but he couldn't meet the threshold of great feng shui, so most of the tombs he dumped were the tombs of landlords and wealthy people, so he could only be ranked ninth in the mausoleum pedigree.
The critical judge is not ranked high in the Shanlingpu, mainly because of the limited means of fighting, but it does not affect his status in the world at all. The reason why the grim-faced Taoist priest is in a daze is also because he is afraid of the divination ability of this sect, and he is a fake god. Officer, nine and a half of the ten sentences he said were bragging. How could he withstand the scrutiny of the criticizing judge? Thinking about it made me feel guilty, and cold sweat began to break out on my back.
At this time, Liu Xiuyou in the hall saw the grimace of the Taoist priest standing still, so he coughed dryly and said: "This Mr. Li is the Youzhai alchemist in my palace. If you two can pass his examination, you can enter." Go to the Juezi Camp."
The grim-faced Taoist priest hurriedly came to his senses when he heard this, bowed and replied: "It doesn't hurt to ask, Mr. Li."
Li Tianwen nodded, then walked up to the two of them. Before he said anything, he looked around their faces. After seeing the grimace of the Taoist priest, Li Tianwen's eyes suddenly flashed, revealing a complicated expression, and then in a flash fleeting.
The Taoist priest with a grimace became nervous when he saw this. The man in front of him was not only the successor of the critical judge, but also the alchemist of the prince's palace. I am afraid that knowing people and judging things is not commonplace. He saw the strange look in his eyes just now. , doubtful and a little surprised, could it be that his identity has been revealed to him?
The hall fell silent for a while. The grim-faced Taoist priest, Luo Laoqi and even Liu Xiuyou were all waiting for Li Tianwen to ask questions. Unexpectedly, Li Tianwen turned around after looking at the two of them and said to Liu Xiuyou: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. , several days of hard work have finally yielded results, if you want to lead the Juezi camp, this person must be the one." He pointed at the Taoist priest with a grimace.
The Taoist priest with a grimace almost dropped his jaw when he heard this. Liu Xiuyou was even more surprised and asked doubtfully: "Sir, you can come to this conclusion just by looking at the face? Don't you need to ask some Feng Shui theory?"
Li Tianwen shook his head and replied: "Every family has its own strengths in fighting against each other. The Xiling bandits have never been familiar with Kanyu's math skills, but they still stole the world's treasures. Looking at this person's face below, it is the birth of the chief star of thieves. Together, He should be responsible for such an important task, and if you look at the dust looming on his temples, Your Majesty, it seems that he has been swimming under the loess all year round. Such a member of the Faqiu sect with good fortune and good work is the perfect candidate for this position."
Hearing these words, the Taoist priest with a grimace couldn't help but turn his head and look over his shoulder, thinking secretly in his heart: "His grandma's not to mention her temples, there is still a lot of dirt on her shoulders. Didn't she fall in front of the city gate earlier? ? This can also be hit in the eye?" He was thinking in his mind but he said shamelessly: "To be honest with you, the prince, I wish I could stay in the tomb all the time while eating, and even my wife is not that concerned about fighting upside down. Pass."
"Hahaha, you really like this business." Liu Xiuyou smiled, and after thinking for a while, he said to Li Tianwen: "Does Mr. Yi mean that it's just the two of them? Should we wait a few more days and see if there is any No other options?"
"The prince has been looking for four days, and what good things have come. I'm afraid that if I wait another month, I won't find anyone more suitable than the two of them."
Liu Xiuyou thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, he was a layman, and his ability to identify people and objects was inferior to that of Li Tianwen, who was a thief. Moreover, the emperor had urged this matter in the palace yesterday, and he was afraid that if he continued to delay it, Long Yan would be unhappy. Yue, so he said to the two ghost-faced Taoist priests: "In this case, you two will stay in the mansion. After I enter the palace tomorrow to see the Holy Emperor, I will make other plans."
Ghostface Taoist priest and Luo Laoqi did not expect to be selected into the Juezi camp, and they all saluted and thanked them. Liu Xiuyou asked Li Tianwen to take the two of them back to the palace to arrange accommodation, and then he summoned the Minister of the Ministry of War and began to make plans to borrow military aid. Camp matters.
