Chapter 161 Returning to Xingyang
Chapter 161 Return to Xingyang
Li Qiushui and Tianshan Tonglao, enemies who had been fighting for almost their whole lives, finally took a step back and reconciled.
But rather than saying that they are reconciling with each other, it is better to say that they are reconciling with themselves.
Make peace with the past self who was trapped in the vortex of emotions and couldn't extricate himself, and was troubled by a ray of obsession for decades.
At this moment, the sky in their eyes became exceptionally clear and open, and their moods were also sublimated, as if they had been reborn from the inside out.
Unknowingly, Li Qiushui and Tianshan Tonglao fell into a state of enlightenment.
The two of them stood motionless, as if their minds were wandering.
At this moment, Huo Yin had also left quietly.
This is Huo Yin's second visit to Xingyang City.
Compared with the first time I came here, Xingyang City is obviously much deserted now.
This was not because Li Mi was not good to the people under his rule, but because the war was about to start, and the people were worried that if they went outside, they would be regarded as spies of the Sui Dynasty, so they stayed at home and no one dared to go out on the streets.
At this time of panic, Huo Yin was walking alone on the street, taking a leisurely stroll, and his calm and calm appearance was very eye-catching.
Huo Yin only walked on the street for a moment before he attracted the attention of the patrolling soldiers.
After seeing Huo Yin, these patrol soldiers did not rush forward to question Huo Yin because they all clearly saw the green lotus blooming and disappearing behind Huo Yin!
The name of True Immortal Huo Yin has already spread throughout the world, how could they not know about it!
Huo Yin slowly walked into the first inn on the street, surrounded by a group of patrolling soldiers who looked like they were following him but were actually escorting him.
Because Xingyang entered a state of total martial law today, there were not many guests in the inn. The shopkeeper and the waiters were all taking a nap by the stove in the lobby. Huo Yin had already walked closer, and they had no intention of waking up.
"Shopkeeper, please bring two side dishes and a bottle of wine."
The shopkeeper woke up when Huo Yin spoke.
He glanced at Huo Yin and realized that a guest had arrived, and said repeatedly: "Please wait a moment, sir, I will let the kitchen prepare it."
The waiter also quickly stood up and wiped the wine on the table quickly.
Huo Yin sat down at an empty table and placed the sign against the wall.
Before the dishes were served, someone walked into the inn from outside.
The visitor was none other than the handsome military advisor Shen Luoyan, who had a relationship with Huo Yin.
After leaving Dongping County on that day, Li Mi and Shen Luoyan returned directly to Xingyang to prepare for Wang Shichong's attack.
Li Mi was mobilizing the army at this time, while Shen Luoyan was in charge of logistical preparations.
Just as she was giving orders, she suddenly heard the news that Huo Yin was suspected to have appeared in the city. She immediately put down all her work and hurried over.
She stood at the door of the inn and took a look. After finding out that it was indeed Huo Yin, she immediately walked in and saluted Huo Yin respectfully.
"It is Xingyang's good fortune that Mr. Huo is here."
Huo Yin glanced at Shen Luoyan. He was not surprised by Shen Luoyan's arrival. He nodded lightly and said, "I was just passing by for a quick meal. If you want to ask for a divination, just show it before the food is served."
Gua Jin."
When Shen Luoyan heard Huo Yin's words, he hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and took out a ten thousand tael silver note and presented it to him.
She said to Huo Yin: "Sir, the Nu family would like to ask for a hexagram to calculate whether Mi Gong will win or lose in the battle against Wang Shichong."
For a long time, Pushan Gongying has always been invincible and invincible under the command of Li Mi. The land in the Central Plains they now occupy is proof of Li Mi's undefeated myth.
But this time the opponent they faced was no longer the local defenders, but the famous Wang Shichong.
Even though she still had full confidence in Li Mi, she was still a little worried.
So when facing Huo Yin, they couldn't help but want to ask for a hexagram to see if they could win again in this battle.
This battle is crucial to them. If they can win, they can completely secure their current territory and advance to Luoyang. If they fail, the consequences will be unpredictable!
Facing Shen Luoyan's expectant gaze, Huo Yin accepted the hexagram gold and said lightly: "Li Mi can win against Wang Shichong."
When Shen Luoyan heard Huo Yin's words, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart was completely relieved.
With Huo Yin's words, she could go ahead and do it with peace of mind.
Just when Shen Luoyan was thinking of this, someone suddenly came hurriedly outside, came to her side, and whispered: "Military advisor, there is an urgent military situation!"
Before he finished speaking, the messenger soldier who came to report had already handed over a secret letter with both hands.
Shen Luoyan looked at the secret letter and her face immediately became serious. She reached out to take the secret letter and unfolded it. When she saw the contents of the secret letter, her face suddenly became extremely ugly!
Zhang Xutuo, the general guard of Qijun, led an army of 15,000 people southward and had arrived at Dongping County at this time!
"Zhang Xutuo is in Dongping and Wang Shichong is in Pengcheng. They echo each other and they are obviously going to go hand in hand!"
When Shen Luoyan thought of this, the big stone he had just put down suddenly lifted up again.
Previously, she asked Huo Yin for a divination, and Huo Yin made it clear that Li Mi could win against Wang Shichong, but now that there is Zhang Xutuo, there is another variable!
If they defeated Wang Shichong, would there be a possibility of losing to Zhang Xutuo?
Thinking of this, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but look at Huo Yin who looked calm.
Huo Yin looked at Shen Luoyan, smiled softly, and said, "If you want to continue asking for hexagrams, then show me the hexagram gold."
Shen Luoyan glanced at the messenger soldier beside him, raised his hand to Huo Yin and asked: "Sir, I wonder if the slave family can ask someone else to pray for him?"
Now what she is asking for is not a private matter, but is related to the future of the entire Pushan public camp. She may not necessarily ask for the hexagram in person.
Moreover, if she asked for another hexagram, she would have to pay one hundred thousand taels of hexagram gold. For the Pushan Gongying who was currently fighting everywhere, this was not a small amount of money.
Therefore, she thought of letting others pray for a hexagram to reduce the expenditure on hexagram money.
However, before doing this, she still needed to seek Huo Yin's consent. Otherwise, she would never dare to "play tricks" in front of Huo Yin without authorization.
Facing Shen Luoyan's anxious gaze, Huo Yin nodded and said in a calm tone: "Yes."
Shen Luoyan let out a sigh of relief after hearing this, and immediately took out a thousand-tael silver note from his sleeve and handed it to the messenger soldier beside him, and said: "You come to seek divination from Mr. Mi and ask if Mr. Mi can defeat Zhang Xutuo. "
Upon hearing this, the messenger soldier immediately took the hexagram gold from Shen Luoyan's hand, took a step forward, and respectfully said to Huo Yin: "Please tell me sir, can Mi Gong defeat Zhang Xutuo?"
Huo Yin accepted the hexagram gold and replied with a smile: "Yes."
Hearing this, Shen Luoyan put down the big stone in his heart again. At this moment, the chef brought the food.
Huo Yin was preparing to eat, and Shen Luoyan was also preparing to say goodbye, but no one expected that another urgent military message would arrive!
At this moment, Shen Luoyan's expression immediately became tense again.
She held the urgent military information in her hand and asked in a deep voice: "Are there any other urgent military information?"
The messenger who came to deliver the second urgent military message shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Shen Luoyan didn't ask any more questions and opened the secret letter casually.
Although she hasn't read the contents of the secret message yet, she can guess that this must be another party sending troops!
Just as Shen Luoyan thought, Dongdu Tongshou Yuan Wendu was urgently mobilizing troops and horses to prepare for the expedition!
"Wang Shichong, Zhang Xutuo, and Yuan Wendu are attacking from three sides!"
Shen Luoyan read and reread the secret letter in her hand, and couldn't help but raise her head to look at Huo Yin again. However, Huo Yin had already started eating. She knew that Huo Yin did not predict fortune when eating, so she could only wait patiently.
And Shen Luoyan was also regretting it at this time.
She felt that she should not ask for hexagrams, but should be like Li Mi, believing in her own abilities and believing that success depends on others!
If you ask for the first hexagram, the second hexagram, and the third hexagram if you don’t ask for it, you will always feel a little uneasy in your heart!
Huo Yin was eating quietly.
Shen Luoyan stood aside and waited patiently. Although she hid it well, everyone could see that her mood at this time was not calm, and she was even a little impatient.
These emotions shouldn't have appeared in her body, but she really couldn't control them.
Huo Yin saw Shen Luoyan's anxious look and shook his head slightly.
This is the case for people. Once they decide to believe in the arrangement of fate instead of their own abilities, they will have doubts about their abilities, and then they will start to worry about gains and losses, and be hesitant.
With the abilities of Shen Luoyan and Li Mi, even if they face Wang Shichong, Zhang Xutuo and Yuan Wendu at the same time, they will be able to calmly resolve the three-party attack, and they can still hold on even if they lose.
But Shen Luoyan started asking for fortune-telling and chose to believe in the metaphysics of fate. If she couldn't get a result that completely reassured her, she would probably have to toss and turn and have sleepless nights.
Shen Luoyan saw Huo Yin shaking his head, with a forced smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Let me laugh."
Huo Yin shook his head again and said, "Concern leads to chaos. It's understandable."
After saying this, Huo Yin stopped talking and began to concentrate on eating.
A quarter of an hour later, Huo Yin finally had enough to eat and drink, and removed the leftovers from the table.
Upon seeing this, Shen Luoyan immediately arranged for the second messenger soldier who came to deliver the message to come forward and ask for divination.
"Sir, please do some calculations. Can Mi Gong defeat Yuan Wendu?"
Huo Yin once again accepted one thousand taels of hexagram gold and replied calmly: "Yes!"
call.
Shen Luoyan got the answer he was looking forward to in his heart and felt at ease again.
She had already thought about the next countermeasures in her mind while Huo Yin was eating. Now she had to leave immediately to discuss the matter with Li Mi. But just when she was about to say goodbye to Huo Yin, someone else came!
Chapter completed!
