My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 239 Priceless!

Cao Cao's tone was frivolous, but Xu Shao did not get angry. Instead, he walked forward with a serious face and stared at Cao Cao's face intently.

"Ok?"

Xu Shaoguang was still not satisfied, and actually began to stretch out his hands and keep touching Cao Cao's face, while reading his face and marveling at it.

"You are a fortune teller, you only look at the face, why do you act like this?"

Cao Cao, who had been somewhat frivolous just now, felt a little frightened by Xu Shao. He could not help but take a step back and escape from Xu Shao's grasp.

"The three so-called qi observation, physiognomy, and bone palpation are all from the same source, and they all come from the Book of Changes, which is the unique knowledge of the saints. I was lucky enough to have a rough grasp of them. The appearance of the councilor is rare in the world, and I was so excited that I didn't realize it was a bit abrupt."

At this time, after a moment's effort, Xu Shao had figured out Cao Cao's tactics. He returned to normal and bowed to Cao Cao with a smile.

"Oh? Rarely seen in the world?"

Cao Cao also became interested when he heard this, and glanced at Xu Shao with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"I wonder if Mr. Xu can find out my face clearly?"

"It's clear now!" Xu Shao nodded lightly after hearing this.

"What do you have to say?" Cao Cao opened his eyes slightly and asked Xu Shao repeatedly.

"You are a capable minister in a peaceful era, but a treacherous hero in a chaotic era!"

Xu Shao's eloquence was so shocking that Cao Cao, who was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, could not help but retreat three steps.

"A capable minister in a peaceful era, a treacherous hero in a chaotic era?"

But Cao Cao was, after all, a man of kingly talent, and his mind was far beyond the reach of others. He was only distracted for a moment before he regained his sanity.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Xu's comment is exactly what I want. This hundred gold is really worth it!"

As he spoke, Cao Cao changed his deliberately frivolous attitude, adjusted his hat and clothes slightly, then walked solemnly up to Xu Shao and bowed deeply.

"Thank you Mr. Xu for your advice. It is worth my trip today. However, this advice..."

Cao Cao took a deep look at Xu Shao, who remained calm and composed.

"We will know the result tomorrow!"

Having said that, Cao Cao did not linger any longer and left the place with a few servants, passing through the crowd.

"This person is both good and evil at the same time. This is truly rare in the world!"

Xu Shao stayed where he was, watching Cao Cao's departing back, and couldn't help but murmur.

"Why did the master hide his incompetence and even leave a half-comment?"

The servant behind him asked in confusion when he heard this.

"Oh? It seems that you have served me for many years and have learned a little from me. How could you see that I am deliberately hiding my abilities?"

"As the saying goes, a red flower becomes redder when it is close to a red flower, and a black flower becomes blacker when it is close to a black flower. I, a little slave, have been with my master day and night, so I can naturally learn a few moves from my master through subtle influence, but I cannot be called a true disciple."

The servant bowed slightly and replied humbly.

Xu Shao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, without turning back, he continued to watch Cao Cao's departing back.

"Since you have already seen it, why not try to explain it..."

"This is my question. I can only see that this person's fate is very noble, but I don't know where it is noble. Please tell me, Master."

The servant replied solemnly upon hearing this, and it was obvious that his Taoism was far less profound than Xu Shao's.

"This is why I don't want to say the rest of my comment in public. If it were to be made public, it would not be a good thing for both me and him!"

Xu Shao sighed when he heard this.

"I wonder if I can hear you?"

The servant was inexplicably curious when he heard this, as if there was a cat scratching in his heart.

"Since you have served me for many years and have been loyal to me, I will reveal this to you. But you must remember that this comment is of great importance and must not be leaked to others. Come to me now."

Xu Shao sighed again, turned around and waved to him.

"I will never disobey my master's orders!"

The servant nodded repeatedly and hurried forward.

"A capable minister in a peaceful era, a treacherous hero in a chaotic era is just my comment on Cao Mengde's face and bones."

"Bone structure is only a superficial aspect of human beings. Its origin is destiny."

"Cao Mengde's luck is incomparable to ordinary people. It is the luck of a king!"

"The spirit of a king!?"

The servant was so shocked that he took a few steps back and asked repeatedly in a very low voice.

"After Emperor Gaozu founded the Han Dynasty, he swore an oath with his ministers on a white horse before his death that no one except the surname Liu could be crowned king!"

"This oath is extremely effective. Although Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and founded the Xin Dynasty, he was defeated in one lifetime. This shows the power of this oath!"

"This Cao Cao is just a person of a different surname, yet he is carrying out the king's orders. Is the Han Dynasty about to face another disaster like Wang Mang's?"

Xu Shao's few short sentences contained a huge amount of information. When the servant suddenly realized it, he was shocked beyond words.

"This is exactly what I'm worried about!"

Xu Shao couldn't help but sigh again when he heard this.

"According to this man's fate, we can know that the Central Plains will be in chaos and war. Although Runan is good, it will not be immune. After this trip to Luoyang, my Xu family should flee to Jiangdong for refuge!"

"I have lost my mind and will just follow my master's orders!"

The servant still had a look of panic on his face and had not yet recovered from his shock.

"Calm down a bit, don't let others see anything strange, and continue to recruit people to read your face."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shao patted the servant's shoulder gently, then sat down on the fortune-telling stall and continued his business.

"Haha, Mr. Xu, seeing is believing, this opportunity is rare. Since Cao Cao has already finished his interview, please come and have a look for me as soon as possible..."

The master and servant spoke in very low voices, and their hurried conversation did not attract other people's attention. After Xu Shao sat down, another man immediately came with a hundred gold coins to ask for the position of prime minister.

The scene suddenly became lively again.

However, Cao Cao's opening was so stunning that the ordinary people who came later did not cause the same commotion as Cao Cao did before.

However, Xu Shao always read the faces of the guests in a serious manner, and among them were many historical figures of the Eastern Han Dynasty that Lu Yi was familiar with.

Luoyang City was filled with the imperial power of the Han Dynasty and was home to many outstanding people, many of whom left their names in later history. However, they had no choice but to seek fortune-telling from Xu Shao because of their status.

Therefore, Lu Yi immediately understood their identities from their self-introductions.

This sight made Lu Yi feel a little surprised.

He used to scoff at ghosts and gods, but now he suddenly understood why Confucius respected them.

Perhaps there really are some supernatural beings in the dark that influence everything in the world.

Otherwise, who could have accomplished the miracle of Lu Yi's soul traveling through time for thousands of years to influence and change history?
"It is true that there is no false reputation."

"interesting……"

"interesting……"

After watching for a while, Lu Yi realized that Xu Shao was indeed a real talent. He exclaimed in amazement and prepared to leave with Lu Bu.

He has a lot of things to do now, and doesn't have much free time to watch the fun here.

However, Lu Yi was more than eight feet tall, and his brother Lu Bu was nine feet tall.

The two of them stood out among the crowd like a crane among chickens.

When he was hiding in the crowd and not moving, he did not attract any attention.

But now, as he walked away, he formed a sharp contrast with the people around him, most of whom were between six and seven feet tall.

"Hmm?" "Who left?"

Xu Shao, who was reading the fortune of a wealthy businessman, felt a tall figure flash by in the corner of his eye. He was frightened and quickly left the wealthy businessman and looked in the direction where Lu Yi left.

However, the Lu Yi brothers had already arrived at a street corner. When Xu Shao looked over, he only had time to see half of Lu Yi's profile from a distance as he turned around.

However, even this half profile was enough to astound Xu Shao, who quickly wanted to cross the crowd to catch up and take a closer look.

"Mr. Xu, what are you doing?" The wealthy businessman was puzzled by Xu Shao's sudden strange behavior and asked repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, Shao just felt unwell, so today's fortune-telling ends here. I will return the hundred gold coins from this wealthy businessman intact..."

Xu Shao said something hurriedly to the servant beside him who also had a strange look on his face, then hurriedly chased in the direction of Lu Yi.

Xu Shao's strange behavior caused the onlookers to be extremely surprised and they started talking about it.

"Mr. Xu is so anxious, but what big thing has happened?"

"Where did those two people who just left come from that made Xu Xiangshi disregard the huge sum of money of one hundred gold coins and rather stop fortune-telling and go after them?"

"Could it be the son of a marquis? Or a relative of the Han Dynasty who has not come forward? If not, how could Xu Xiangshi pursue him so desperately?"

"But when I looked at these two just now, the tall one was strong and sturdy, while the shorter one seemed to have nothing special about him except that he looked a little more handsome."

"Besides, these two are dressed in plain clothes, and they don't look like people with prominent family backgrounds!"

"Haha, you are joking, my dear brother. If ordinary people like me can tell the bone structure of a person, then what is the use of a great fortune teller like Xu Xiangshi?"

"Yeah... you're right..."

Xu Shao turned a deaf ear to the discussions of the people around him. He struggled to squeeze through the crowd and chased in the direction where Lu Yi and the other man left.

But when he finally arrived at the intersection after much trouble and looked at the street, there was no trace of the two Lu Yi brothers.

"Alas!"

“I missed it…!”

Xu Shao was extremely disappointed when he saw that he had chased after nothing. He just stood there beating his chest and stamping his feet.

“Main person, sorrow… … ”

Behind him, the servant hurried over and asked in surprise when he saw Xu Shao losing his composure.

Xu Shao has always been particular about etiquette and pays great attention to his every word and action.

It was the first time that the servant saw Xu Shao behave so out of control.

"I, Xu Shao, have always been proud of my ability to read people's faces, but who would have thought that in the end, the noble man would slip away from me, and I still don't realize it. I am truly a mediocre person!"

Xu Shao still felt regretful and punched the wall hard.

"Where did those two come from? How could they make you lose your composure like this, Master?"

The servant was even more surprised when he saw this.

"Is he worse than Cao Mengde just now?"

"How can we compare them?"

"How can they be compared!!!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Shao clenched his teeth and whispered.

"Although that tall man also has the appearance of a noble person, his fate is rough and his ending may not be a happy one."

"But the fate of that shorter man is still the most noble I have ever seen in my life. Even if I only saw half of his face, I was still filled with doubts and was already terrified!"

Xu Shao's eyes were dull, and he was obviously recalling the quick glance he just had.

"How noble is it?"

The servant was shocked and asked with his eyes wide open.

Xu Shao covered his heart with his hands, and after a long time he slowly spoke in a lost voice.

“It’s beyond words!”

"What……!!?"

……

Just when Xu Shao was regretting that he could not fully understand Lu Yi.

Zhao Zhong, who had hurried back to the palace after meeting Lu Yi in Xiyuan, finally found Zhang Rang.

"You are not in charge of affairs in the West Garden, why did you return to the palace?"

"Besides, you are so flustered, but what big thing happened?"

Zhang Rang was surprised to see Zhao Zhong sweating profusely.

"But...but there is a strange thing that makes me extremely panicked. I don't know how to deal with it, so I want to consult you."

Zhao Zhong was out of breath from the haste of traveling, and he supported Zhang Rang and spoke incoherently.

"What kind of big thing could make you so panicked?"

Zhang Rang was puzzled and asked quickly.

"You are right. If I were not so old and blind, I would have thought this strange thing was really bigger than the sky!"

Zhao Zhong took a long time to catch his breath and spoke to Zhang Rang repeatedly.

Seeing that Zhang Rang seemed to want to ask more questions, he repeatedly stretched out his hand to stop him. While carefully looking around, he tightly grabbed his sleeve and hurried to an empty side hall.

"This is not the place to talk, don't ask any more questions, just follow me...!"

……

"Brother, this autumn heat is really fierce. We have been walking for only half a day and our bodies are already sweating. Let's stop here for today and go back to wash up and change into dry clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Lu Bu took a look at the sky which was already setting, and then he advised Lu Yi with concern.

"It's really hard for you to accompany me today, but after visiting many shops today, I already have an idea of ​​the new business to be built."

"Well, since the sun has already set, let's just stop here today!"

Seeing that Lu Bu was sweating profusely, Lu Yi chuckled, took out a piece of clean white silk from his arms, slightly tilted his head back, and gently wiped his brother's forehead and temples that were sticky with sweat.

……

"There's no one here, can you please explain it to me, Brother Zhang?"

In the side hall, the flickering candlelight gradually rose, dispelling some of the darkness and revealing two pale and beardless faces, like ghosts whispering in the underworld.

"To be honest, Brother Zhang, I was just in charge of some affairs in the West Garden, and I ran into someone by chance..."

As the sweat on Zhao Zhong's face solidified, the lingering panic also solidified.

"Met someone...?"

Whether it was Zhang Rang or Zhao Zhong, as the emperor's close attendants, their daily routine was to serve the emperor like serving a tiger.

The fact that they were able to keep their lives in front of the tiger for a long time shows how cunning these two people are.

Therefore, Zhang Rang, who knew Zhao Zhong's character well, couldn't help but become nervous and asked repeatedly.

"That person is from the Jiuyuan frontier. He made great contributions in the Battle of Pingcheng and came to Luoyang to receive the reward. However, this person is strange and inexplicable..."

Under the dim candlelight, Zhao Zhong's eyes began to gradually become blurred, and he was obviously lost in his memories.

"There are more than thousands of people who have made contributions in the Battle of Pingcheng. Zhang has also received many of them. Although this person made the first contribution, I think he is just a reckless man. What's wrong with him?"

"The weird thing is that he looks exactly like someone...!"
