Chapter 112 Li Lezhi: This is my fate
Li Le only said so much, and the Third Prince did not dare to ask any further. Compared to this, it was more important to tell his father about this matter first.
Therefore, the Third Prince and Li Lezhi said goodbye and immediately headed towards the palace.
Before him, the secret guard had already heard what Li Lezhi said, and without any hesitation, informed Emperor Zhao of the matter.
When Emperor Zhao learned about it, he was shocked and immediately spread out paper and ground ink, wrote a secret order and sent it to Yuzhou by secret guards. Yuzhou borders Zhao State. If Zhao State invades, it will definitely go south to attack Yuzhou. Now, the generals of Yuzhou have already known about it in advance, so the affairs of Zhao State are nothing to worry about.
Because this matter was of great importance, except for the chief eunuch who was waiting on the side, everyone else retreated to wait outside the hall. The hall was silent at this time. Suddenly, a few voices were heard outside. The chief eunuch tilted his head slightly, as if he wanted to see clearly through the sealed window what was going on outside.
Afterwards, without the Emperor Zhao saying anything, the eunuch retreated silently and walked out of the hall. He wanted to see who was coming.
Seeing that the person coming was the Third Prince, the head eunuch's expression instantly changed. His tense expression instantly became full of smiles. He stepped forward and said, "Third Prince, why are you here? Wait a moment, I will let you go in and report."
"Thank you, Eunuch Liu," The Third Prince was not an unreasonable person. Although the matter was urgent, people had already arrived here and some things could not be rushed.
What's more, he is not a young boy. If the servants in the palace are not serving inside, something must have happened that he doesn't want others to know.
It doesn't matter if you come back a little later.
Sure enough, not long after, the eunuch came out again and called him in.
The Third Prince nodded, then strode inside. When he arrived in front of his father, he bowed and saluted, then said, "Father, I have something important to report."
"Tell me," Emperor Zhao had never seen the third brother coming in so hurriedly, and his expression became a little serious.
The Third Prince said, "Master Li calculated that Zhaoguo would send troops to attack Yuzhou. Father, should we send Duke Xiao to guard the city?"
Emperor Zhao was in deep thought.
Originally, he had no plan to send the Duke of Zhenguo to Yuzhou. The Duke of Zhenguo had just returned not long ago, and if he sent someone to Yuzhou again, his mother would not be happy with him. Secondly, he could rest assured that he would be there for the second brother to abdicate.
Emperor Zhao said, "I have other arrangements for this matter. Is there anything else?"
The third prince shook his head. He had no idea what his father was thinking, but he would never abandon Yuzhou. So, after saying that nothing was wrong, he bowed and left.
After he left, Emperor Zhao hesitated between the Duke of Zhenguo and Xiao Xuan, but finally appointed Xiao Xuan to go to Yuzhou. Xiao Xuan was a young talent, and he knew the plans of Zhao State in advance, so he was worthy of the reputation. Young people also needed more opportunities to gain experience.
Therefore, another secret order was sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
After Xiao Xuan received the secret order, he learned from the secret guards that Zhao State was invading. Without much thought, he knew who had calculated this.
That night, Xiao Xuan climbed over the wall again and went to Xuanping Lane.
…
It was late at night, with a full moon high in the sky. Li Lezhi had not yet gone to bed. He was sitting by the window, reading a storybook with a light on. In ancient times, these were the only things that could help pass the time.
He was reading the movie with great interest when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He looked outside through the window, wondering who would come to see him at this hour.
Li Le simply closed the book, which was placed on the table. After taking a look at it, he stuffed it under his pillow to prevent others from seeing it.
After putting the things away, he didn't notice anything unusual, so he held up the lamp to protect the wick to prevent it from being blown out by the wind, and slowly walked towards the door.
Li Lezhi walked to the door and was about to pull the bolt open with one hand, but suddenly stopped and asked, "Who?"
The person who came to look for him in the middle of the night might not be someone he knew. Although there are no ghosts in the world, he still had to be cautious so as not to offend the people in the underworld.
"It's me, Xiao Xuan," Xiao Xuan loudly announced his name, and then heard Li Le's faint voice. Fearing that he had disturbed his voice, he hurriedly apologized, "Master Li, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. I really have something important to tell you, and I want to ask you for a fortune."
In response, he heard the door bolt being pulled open and the door creaking.
Li Le could only see through the gap, with the help of moonlight and dim light, that the person outside the door was indeed Queen Xiao Xuan.
Only then did he open the door a crack, revealing a width that was only wide enough for one person to pass through, and let Xiao Xuan in. After Xiao Xuan came in, Li Le just closed the door casually.
Li Le just walked behind Xiao Xuan and asked, "What do you want to calculate?"
Xiao Xuan took a step back and walked side by side with Li Lezhi, then he said, "Master Li, did you figure out that Zhao State was going to invade Yuzhou?"
"Yeah," Li Le just responded lightly.
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan was even more certain in his heart that the matter was calculated by Taoist Li, so it would be easy to deal with. He said, "I am about to go to Yuzhou on orders this time. I would like Taoist to calculate for me whether this battle will go smoothly."
"good."
Li Le naturally had no reason to refuse such a thing.
After he invited Xiao Xuan to sit down in the main room, he did not go into the room to take out the tortoise shell, but calculated with his bare hands in front of Xiao Xuan.
Calculate the situation of the war between Yuzhou and Zhaoguo.
After the results came out, Li Le could not help but frown. He never thought that after knowing the news that Zhao State was going to attack, Daliang would still lose, or even suffer a crushing defeat.
What on earth is going on here?
Moreover, he said this result in front of Xiao Xuan, and the 50-50 situation became slim because of his words.
Li Lezhi calculated more deeply and further ahead. This time, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. This calculation was more strenuous than his previous ones. There were too many mysteries blocking his way, trying to prevent him from seeing the result.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but stand up. This was the first time he saw Taoist Li calculating so hard. Could it be that the result of this battle was not ideal and they would lose Daliang, or...
Xiao Xuan didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of disturbing Li Lezhi's fortune-telling. He had heard that when a Taoist priest with high cultivation level was fortune-telling, if he encountered the current situation, he must not disturb the other party, otherwise the other party would suffer backlash.
Although he didn't know whether the story was true or not, it was the first time Xiao Xuan had seen such a scene and he didn't dare to move a finger. When the wind blew into the room and his hair moved, Xiao Xuan was afraid that his hair would disturb Taoist Li.
He didn't even dare to breathe. Fortunately, this state did not last long. In less than a cup of tea, Xiao Xuan saw Taoist Li raise his eyes. His eyes were cold and indifferent. After a moment, there was a little warmth in them. Perhaps it was an illusion caused by the candlelight.
Xiao Xuan couldn't help but think about it, and then after hearing Taoist Li say that he had figured it out, he dared to bend his fingers, took a deep breath, and asked: "Taoist Li, how is the situation?"
"Don't worry, we will win," Li Le only comforted him. In order to ensure that what he said was true, Li Le only raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a smile.
His expression was relaxed, without any trace of heaviness.
Xiao Xuan felt relieved and smiled, "That's good, thank you Taoist Li." After bowing to express his gratitude, he touched his belt and did not feel his purse. He was stunned for a moment. Oh no, he came out in such a hurry that he forgot to bring the money for divination.
He stole a glance at Li Lezhi's expression, smiled awkwardly and said, "Master Li, I came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring any money. I will personally pay the money after I win the battle."
Li Lezhi: “…” Young man, it’s easy to be killed by the plot if you say something like this.
Li Le only complained in his heart, but his face remained calm and he nodded, "Okay, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so it's better to be careful."
Xiao Xuan said nothing else, waved his hand and left.
Li Le just watched the other party's back as he left in a leisurely manner, and sat in the chair thinking deeply. According to his divination, Daliang still had a narrow victory in this battle, but there were too many twists and turns, and many results that he could not clearly know.
Perhaps the outcome of this battle still needs to be calculated by others, and he cannot know the whole story with his ability.
Just before that.
Li Le suddenly remembered one thing. He seemed to have forgotten King An. King An was about to rebel, and the day of rebellion was just around the corner.
Originally, he was thinking of staying at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion for two days to avoid the disaster, but Xiao Xuan was about to leave the capital and go to Yuzhou under the emperor's order.
Then it seemed that he had nowhere to go. Without Xiao Xuan, he was embarrassed to stay in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. As for Gongsun Miaoran's place, Li Le simply did not consider it. What if he went to Gongsun Mansion and attracted Prince An's people over there? Although the prime minister was second only to the emperor, Prince An had rebelled, and he was the son of a royal family.
Prince An respects the Prime Minister and therefore treats him with courtesy, but that does not mean that the Prime Minister is willing to stand before him and offend Prince An in order to protect him.
Therefore, before Prince An rebelled, he had to find a safe place to live.
Li Le only asked Prince Pingyang to come out for a chat, but he did not forget a promise Prince Pingyang made after he told his fortune last time.
This promise was not used before, so it can be used now.
Li Le only invited Prince Pingyang to Feng'an Tower, and in the private room he talked to Prince Pingyang about protecting his life within ten days.
After hearing this, Prince Pingyang asked in surprise, "Master Li, do you mean... someone wants to kill you?"
"Maybe."
Prince Pingyang frowned and asked, "Master Li, can you tell me who that person is?"
He wanted to see who was so bold as to dare to take Taoist Li's life. Didn't he know that Taoist Li was the person they were protecting and that the prince valued him very much? He was really trying to tamper with the emperor's will and was tired of living.
Li Le didn't say anything. He looked out the window, watching the birds flying by, and said slowly, "This is a disaster in my life. I can't elaborate on it."
Prince Pingyang had not expected that it would be so serious. In the past, there was nothing that Taoist Li would not tell when fortune-telling. This showed that the matter was by no means as simple as Taoist Li had revealed.
Prince Pingyang said, "How about you come with me back to the palace and stay there for a while, and then go back to Xuanping Lane after the disaster is over?"
"Thank you, my Lord. I am sorry to bother you during this period of time."
"It's okay," Prince Pingyang waved his hand. These were all trivial matters. Nothing was more important than Taoist Li's life, unless the emperor passed away, but this was obviously not going to happen.
Prince Pingyang did not continue to exchange pleasantries with Li Lezhi. After knowing that Li Lezhi was destined to suffer a disaster, Prince Pingyang immediately invited Li Lezhi to go to the palace, fearing that this short journey or the delay might cost Li Lezhi's life.
Only when Li Le entered the palace standing upright did Prince Pingyang relax. He then ordered the palace guards to keep a strict watch and not let anyone who he had never seen enter the palace.
Everyone inside and outside had been informed, and warnings had been given repeatedly; no one dared to commit a crime at such a critical juncture.
So when Prince An learned that Li Le only went to Prince Pingyang's Palace with Prince Pingyang, he wanted to arrange people to go in and find out the situation, but they were not allowed to enter.
