Chapter 829 Chapter 848: Wu Chengsi's plan

Wu Chengsi was full of doubts and left Liu Xuanji's hexagram stand. He had only walked about a mile when he suddenly stopped and said to the two guards beside him: "You two, go and watch this Taoist priest, Don't let him find out."

"Yes!" The two guards immediately turned around.

Wu Chengsi returned home holding the talisman presented by Liu Xuanji, thoughtful, in fact, he still believed in ghosts and gods, and he was willing to believe that there are masters in this world, but there are too many quack warlocks in Chang'an city, After he was cheated twice, he was not willing to trust these people anymore, but today, this Liu Xuanji made him feel different, different from the previous liars, because Liu Xuanji didn't ask him for a penny, and even gave him a gift a talisman.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Chengsi stuffed the talisman into his bosom, patted his chest twice, and kept it properly. He would rather believe it than believe it. Then, he began to write a post and sent someone to send it to Li Daozong's residence. Invite Li Daozong to drink at Tongfu Restaurant.

Li Daozong has been keeping a low profile over the years, and deliberately kept a distance from Li Hao, so the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty thought that the relationship between Li Daozong and Li Hao was not good. The most important thing is that Li Daozong is smooth and dare not offend others. Come to Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng, but invite Li Daozong, Li Daozong will definitely come.

Sure enough, Li Daozong went to the appointment on time that night and came to Tongfu Restaurant.

Wu Chengsi had already prepared the food and wine for a long time. After the two met, they exchanged polite greetings, talked nonsense empty words, then complimented each other, and began to exchange glasses.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wu Chengsi finally spoke out about today's business: "King Jiang Xia, today I met a strange man."

"Oh?" Li Daozong put down his wine glass when he heard the words, and said slowly, "There are many charlatans in Chang'an City. I wonder if Master Wu met a real strange person or a charlatan?"

"I'm not sure about this." Wu Chengsi pretended to be distressed, and said slowly, "He said that I was plagued by fire calamity, and the day of the calamity would be within these three days."

Li Daozong said: "Master Wu must be careful with fire. He would rather believe in something than nothing. Where did you meet this strange man?"

"I met in West Market." Wu Chengsi said, "This man opened a talisman shop in West Market, and he set up a fortune-telling stall in front of the shop."

"Wait!" Li Daozong suddenly showed shock when he heard the words, and asked, "Is this person in his sixties, with a strong sense of immortality, who calls himself Liu Banxian?"

Wu Chengsi was secretly startled when he heard the words, it turned out that Li Daozong really knew this person, but he didn't show any surprise, he just asked curiously: "King Jiangxia knows this person? It is true that Liu Banxian is written on his banner."

"It's more than just acquaintance." Li Daozong said, "He also saved my life. If it wasn't for his guidance, I would have died 30 years ago. After that, he helped me avoid catastrophe several times. That's really true. You are a living god who has no plans to spare!"

"There is such a thing!" Wu Chengsi was really shocked at this moment, and said in surprise, "So, this Liu Banxian is really a master?"

"That's right, he is an expert, an expert outside the world." Li Daozong said, "I originally wanted to invite him to my house as a guest, so that he could become my amulet in the future. Unfortunately, an expert is an expert. He said that a good bird chooses a tree to live in, he is a phoenix among people, and he only lives in sycamore wood, but I am not that sycamore tree, alas..." Li Daozong shook his head and sighed, and took a gulp of his wine glass depressedly.

Wu Chengsi's heart was moved when he heard the words, this Liu Banxian's vision is so high that even King Jiangxia can't look down on him. Come here, who am I afraid of in the future?

The more Wu Chengsi thought about it, the more excited he became, he drank two more glasses with Li Daozong, found an excuse to leave in a hurry, and returned to the mansion.

At home, the two guards who followed Liu Xuanji came back and reported to Wu Chengsi that Liu Xuanji was in normal condition and there was no sign of escaping.

Wu Chengsi had now determined that Liu Xuanji was an expert outside the world, and secretly decided that when he went to visit Liu Xuanji tomorrow, he must recruit Liu Xuanji.

In the moonlight, above Wu Chengsi's mansion, a black shadow jumped on the roof and courtyard wall like a ghost, his movements were so light that he was not like a human being, and he ignored the guards in the courtyard. Looking at Chang'an, anyone with such martial arts, except Li Hao, there is no one else.

Li Hao came to the courtyard where Wu Chengsi was, and observed secretly. There were three Ming posts in the courtyard and four guards at the gate.He first jumped onto the roof and lifted the tiles. The room was dark. Wu Chengsi had already turned off the lights. Li Hao blew a lot of smoke into the room, then covered the tiles, and waited for about 10 minutes. The roof slid down, and when he reached the edge of the eaves, he hooked his hands on the edge of the eaves, swayed his body, and reached under the eaves of the corridor, hugged the pillars of the corridor and slid down slowly, without a single sound, the three guards turned their backs to him, a distance away from him It was only two feet away, and as long as I turned my head, I could see him.

He took out a very thin dagger, stuffed it into the gap in the window, flicked it lightly, and then released the lock inside the window, pushed the window open, jumped in, put his hands on the ground, and then rolled forward a little Circle, no sound was made.

There was smoke in the room, so Li Hao naturally held his breath, walked to the bed and patted Wu Chengsi's face, but there was no response.Li Hao took out the talisman from his pocket lightly, and put another talisman in it. After doing all this, he got out of the window again, picked up the lock of the window with a knife, and then jumped to the eaves and pillars of the corridor. superior.

There are two lanterns hanging under the corridor outside the door. Although Chang'an City has already popularized electricity, because there are not many power plants and there are too many residents in Chang'an City, each household has a limited amount of electricity. Wherever electricity is used, we will try to use it as little as possible. For lighting in the yard at night, we don’t use electric lights, because it is too wasteful. It needs to be lit all night. What a waste of electricity, and it is useless. Lanterns are the best choice.

Li Hao poured a little alcohol into the lantern on the east side, and the fire burst up inside the lantern, and Li Hao immediately got on the roof, jumped onto a big tree in the courtyard next door, and waited and watched.

Alcohol was added to the lantern, and the flames in the lantern flourished. Within ten seconds, the whole lantern suddenly burst into flames, and the courtyard was immediately illuminated by the fire.

The guards were startled, and turned their heads quickly to see that the lantern was on fire, so they stepped forward one after another and knocked down the burning lantern into the middle of the courtyard with wooden sticks to prevent the house from being set on fire.

Fortunately, nothing major happened, so they didn't dare to disturb Wu Chengsi, and continued to guard. Li Hao, who was sitting on the tree in the next courtyard, smiled triumphantly.

.....................................................................................................................

The next morning, Wu Chengsi got up and just opened the door when he saw that one lantern was missing, so he frowned and asked, "Why is there one lantern missing?"

A guard in the courtyard replied: "Master, a lantern suddenly caught fire last night. We climbed it to light the house, then shot it down and threw it away."

"What!" Wu Chengsi was shocked when he heard the words, the lantern suddenly caught fire, and now everything related to fire can stimulate his nerves.

He hurriedly took out the talisman in his arms, and when he looked at it, he was shocked, and saw that the talisman was black, as if it had been roasted by fire, and it was already a little carbonized.

He hurried back to the house, checked all the windows, and they were all tightly closed. He ran out again and asked the guard, "Did someone enter my room last night?"

"Master, I have been guarding outside, and no one has ever entered."

Wu Chengsi could no longer calm down, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Prepare the horse! Prepare the horse! Go to the West Market!"

Wu Chengsi hurriedly came to Liu Xuanji's shop, and saw Liu Xuanji was still sitting in front of the hexagram booth with his eyes closed, resting his mind. When Wu Chengsi arrived, Liu Xuanji didn't open his eyes, and said quietly: "The nobleman is here again."

Wu Chengsi hurriedly got off his horse and saluted, "The old man is really a god."

Liu Xuanji opened his eyes, revealed an inscrutable smile, and said, "Your honor is absurd, let's follow the old man to the room to talk."

Wu Chengsi nodded: "This junior is honored."

In fact, Wu Chengsi is the same as his father Wu Yuanshuang. He has the personality of the second generation ancestor and is very arrogant, but he is more sinister than Wu Yuanshuang. His eyes are usually higher than the top. Except for Wu Meiniang, it is difficult for anyone to let him He is tame, but Liu Xuanji is an expert outside the world. In their eyes, such a person is like an existence like an immortal. How can he not be in awe, so his posture is extremely low.

Liu Xuanji brought Wu Chengsi into the shop, Liu Xuanji immediately said loudly: "Junior Brother Li, serve tea."

The day before yesterday, he discussed with Li Hao again, and he felt that it would be better to partner in the name of his senior brother. Li Hao also agreed, so now Li Hao will pretend to be Liu Xuanji's junior.

Li Hao hurried out from the back room, came out with teacups in hand, and served tea to the two of them.

Wu Chengsi said in surprise: "This tea...is too fast."

Li Hao put the teacup on the table and said: "Brother just told me that a distinguished guest is coming, let me prepare tea. I just prepared the tea, and the distinguished guest will arrive soon."

Wu Chengsi hurriedly admired: "Mr. really has a clever plan, unparalleled in the world!"

"Hehe, I've been praised, I've been praised, please sit down." After he finished speaking, he sat down first, putting on the airs of an expert, after all, he is a professional.

Wu Chengsi is really in awe of him now. Although Liu Xuanji sat down, Li Hao didn't. Now that he knows that Li Hao is Liu Xuanji's junior, how could he be disrespectful? sit down."

Li Hao smiled and said, "Let's go together."

Wu Chengsi nodded and sat down with Li Hao.

Liu Xuanji introduced: "This is the senior brother, Li Yuanfang."

Wu Chengsi hurriedly said: "The old man is so powerful, it must make the younger brother not an ordinary generation."

Li Haodao: "Senior brother studies literature, I study martial arts, and I am responsible for protecting the safety of senior brother."

"Oh?" Wu Chengsi hurriedly said, "Then Mr. Li's martial arts must be pretty good."

Li Hao smiled proudly and said, "So far, I haven't met an opponent."

Wu Chengsi looked Li Hao up and down, and felt that Li Hao was a bit bragging. Li Hao looked like he was only 20 years old at the most. Such a young age, how high a martial arts can be.

"You don't believe it?" Li Hao seemed to see his doubts, got up suddenly, walked to Wu Chengsi's side, grabbed the mahogany chair with one hand, and lifted him up with the chair, and lifted it with one hand, Wu Chengsi was so frightened that he screamed.
