The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 67 Three Futures
After listening to this, Ling Buyi was shocked. He felt that it was not unreasonable for this person who was two years younger than him to have achieved what he had today.

With such a mentality, coupled with the talent of being a person with a divine vein, it would be unacceptable if he still couldn't make a breakthrough.

"Although learning to enjoy loneliness is a good way to be alone, it's probably not a bad idea to have some fun sometimes," Ling Buyi invited.
"Why don't you come with me?"

"I always feel like you're using me, but it's fun to think about it, so why not let you use me for once?" Xi Mingzhang said casually.

Upon hearing this, Ling Buyi couldn't help but be surprised by his sharpness. He said nothing more and led the way.

After a while, the two of them walked into a pavilion where young men from various families had gathered.

"General Ling, General Xi."

When the people present saw him, they bowed and saluted one after another.

A young man with beautiful features and a refined and elegant temperament was holding an arrow, preparing to throw a pot. When he heard the sound, he immediately turned around and said:
"So it's General Ling and General Xi. I've heard that you two have been on the battlefield for a long time. It's rare that you have such a refined mood today. Are you willing to give it a try?"

He picked up another arrow and handed one to Xi Mingzhang and Ling Buzhi.

Ling Buyi took the arrow and introduced it to Xi Mingzhang:
"Yuan Shen, Yuan Shanjian, is a talented scholar from Bailu Mountain. Three years ago, when the imperial court summoned the world's great scholars to debate the classics, he was only eighteen years old and took his place in the debate. He became famous throughout the capital and was known as the capital's most talented scholar."

Having said this, he turned to Yuan Shen and said:

"I usually shoot arrows to kill people, so it's inevitable that I will be defeated unfairly by using a child's toy."

While Ling Buyi was speaking, his eyes were fixed on him, but the arrow in his hand had already fallen into the pot, causing the people around him to exclaim in surprise.

Xi Mingzhang ignored the arrows in front of him and said with a smile:

"Sir Shanjian, just treat me as someone who has only a reputation for nothing, and I won't embarrass myself."

"General Xi, today is the Wan family's birthday banquet, so please don't spoil everyone's mood." Yuan Shen raised his hand to signal everyone.

"Not playing with you is for your own good. Haven't you heard the rumors about Xi?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became heavy. Many people suddenly thought of the rumor that Ban Hou's grandson Ban Hong was friends with this person, which led to his death, so that the Ban family now has only one great-grandson left.

"Shanjian never believes in ghosts or fate." Before Yuan Shen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ling Buyi:

"What's the point of playing pot tossing? The scenery over there is much better. I wonder if Master Yuan would like to enjoy the flowers with us."

He raised his hand and invited everyone present to go to the corridor.

at the same time.

In a pavilion across a river, many noble ladies from aristocratic families were kneeling.

"My humble abode is simple and unworthy of your presence. I sent you the message just to express my courtesy. Who knew you would come?" Wan Qiqi said to a woman in purple and a woman in pink.

The former is the daughter of General Wang Chun, who is also the cousin of the current Empress Xuan. Her name is Wang Yan. The latter is named Lou Yu, who is the daughter of the Prince's tutor.

"Didn't you invite many young men? We are not here for you." Wang Yan said without hiding anything.

"I heard that not only Master Shanjian came, but even General Xi came to celebrate the birthday." Lou Yu said with a little excitement.

Wan Qiqi looked at the noble ladies around her in confusion. Seeing that they all smiled knowingly, she said in astonishment:
"You all came to my house just to see my husband, didn't you?"

Seeing them all nodding in unison, I felt goosebumps coming out, so I said:

"Please be kind, today is my eldest mother's birthday, can you restrain yourself a little? And aren't you afraid of being killed? When did you become so bold?"

"Even if we can't get it, it's not bad to take a look at it from a distance. At worst, there is still Mr. Shanjian." Wang Yan expressed what everyone was thinking.

"You all think so much." After Wan Qiqi finished speaking, Cheng Shaoshang suddenly shouted:
"Hey, not only General Xi and Master Yuan Shanjian are standing opposite us, but General Ling is also here."

These words were like stirring up a hornet's nest, instantly attracting everyone and pushing Cheng Shaoshang out.

"So this is what General Ling meant by flower appreciation." Xi Mingzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "This is quite different from your usual "no strangers allowed." "Really? Then why not invite General Xi and Master Yuan to smile at these flowers with me."

After that, he started laughing dryly.

Although Yuan Shen didn't understand why, he still laughed along with him.

Then the group of noble ladies suddenly became excited and rushed out of the pavilion, all the way to the wooden bridge over the river.

Xi Mingzhang looked with his hands behind his back and saw the servants of the Wan Mansion trying to stop these noble ladies from going up the bridge, but were scolded away.

Then, less than three breaths after they got on the bridge, the wooden bridge suddenly broke, and they were all soaked.

The people around were stunned. Wan Songbai seemed to have noticed the commotion here. Due to the unspeakable stick injury he had suffered before, he could only limp out of the lobby, but he was still a step too late.

The guests in the lobby hurriedly followed in confusion and happened to see such a wonderful scene.

Cheng Shaoshang and Wan Qiqi still stayed in the pavilion. Seeing this scene, Cheng Shaoshang's eyes were filled with satisfaction after success.

Although Wan Qiqi didn't know the specific situation, she couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw Wang Yan and others, who were at odds with her, fall into the water.

She immediately suppressed the smile on her face and asked Cheng Shaoshang to stay here while she went to see if there was anything he could help with.

Xi Mingzhang looked at the chaos in the courtyard and the sound of crying, and immediately sneered, thinking:

"A noble lady from an aristocratic family has a lot of energy. She will probably be able to hold on for several days after crying like this."

Afterwards, he had no interest in anything else, so he said goodbye to Wan Songbai. Coincidentally, Cheng Shi's family also said goodbye, so he walked out of Wan's house with them.

On the way, Xi Mingzhang said with a smile:
"Cheng Shaoshang, we should have met each other."

When the others heard this, they looked at Xi Mingzhang and Cheng Shaoshang in confusion.

"I thought you were a forgetful person, and we just happened to meet at the Lantern Festival."

"Given your vindictive nature, I shouldn't forget you, otherwise I will probably be retaliated by you."

Xi Mingzhang ignored Cheng Shaoshang's surprised expression and the increasingly puzzled looks of Cheng Shi and others, and said:
"In the past, my master not only predicted my fate, but also taught me how to read faces. From you, I can see three kinds of futures."

"One is that you die, and the person you love also dies. You carry the coffin out of the palace, and he dies on the battlefield. You carry the coffin into the palace. You meet at the palace gate and never see each other again. The last time you meet is when the two coffins pass by each other at the palace gate."

"The second possibility is that you marry someone else, and the person you love dies on the battlefield. On your wedding day, the Flower Bridge just happens to pass by his coffin."

"Three: You fall seriously ill and forget the person you love. You follow your childhood dream to see the vast world. When you are leaving the city, you see his coffin entering the city. You can't help but ask, and others will say that it is a great general who died on the battlefield. You sigh and say it's a pity, then ride away on your horse into the warm sunshine."

"A great general who died on the battlefield?" Cheng Shaoshang did not get angry after hearing this, but there was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth:
"You're not talking about yourself, are you?"

"Have you forgotten that I am doomed to be alone? If you stay with me, you will be the only one to die." Seeing that they had already left the Wan Mansion and the carriage was not far away, Xi Mingzhang bowed to Cheng Shi:
"Captain Cheng, if your daughter doesn't change her temperament, she will most likely have one of these three futures. Of course, there are other possibilities. Captain Cheng, please don't blame me for saying too much. If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me."

Cheng Shi knew that the person in front of him was a very rare divine vein person in the world. For a moment, he didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he could only laugh:

"General Xi, you worry too much. My husband and I have been away from home fighting for many years, so it is inevitable that we have neglected our family over the years. I will definitely keep in mind what General Xi said just now."

Upon hearing this, Xi Mingzhang just smiled and left in the carriage.

"Niannian, did you do something you shouldn't have done just now in the Wan Mansion?" Xiao Yuanyi suddenly asked Cheng Shaoshang while looking at the carriage going away.

Her eyes wandered, "No, I have always followed mother's instructions and stayed with Sister Qiqi."

"It's better not to, otherwise I'll teach you a lesson when I get back."

After Xi Mingzhang had his fun, he returned home and soon began a new journey through the heavens.
