"Looking at fortune-telling and fortune-telling! The fortune-telling in linen clothes is not allowed without money!"
On the street, two people were shouting and walking. In front of them was a young man who looked like a countryman, with thick hands and feet, and dark skin. Behind him, a man wearing a melon cap and a long black cloth coat,
Only round sunglasses were placed on the eyes. The two people were one behind the other, connected by a bamboo pole.
The young man in front was holding a fortune-telling signboard. It looked like it had been weathered for a long time, and the white cloth had turned yellow, but the words "divine fortune teller Zhang Banxian" were still clearly visible. Maybe it was their first time in the capital and they didn't know how to do business.
, actually walked to Xinhua Gate.
"Blind man!" Several policemen hurriedly ran over and waved their sticks: "You two don't even look at where this place is. You are here to tell fortunes. Before the adults see it, get out of here!"
The old man behind him hurriedly bent down and nodded, asking the young man in front to take him away. Just when he turned the corner, a carriage came running from Chang'an Street. The bamboo poles in the hands of the fortune tellers were too long.
As he turned around, the bamboo pole stretched out just scratched the belly of the horse pulling the cart.
The horse on the right thought that the coachman was asking him to turn and stopped immediately. The horse on the left did not receive the signal and rushed forward. The carriage immediately crossed the road. Thanks to the fine workmanship of the carriage, the sudden turn did not cause it to roll over. However,
Not to mention that the patrolman standing next to him and the coachman were frightened. Their expressions changed.
"How did you drive the carriage? I almost fell to death!" Cao Kun opened the door and adjusted the hat on his head. The coachman immediately came over to explain. Several soldiers behind the carriage swarmed up and pushed the old man and the young man who were telling fortunes to the ground.
"God's fortune teller Zhang Banxian!" Cao Kun read the words on the sign: "When I went out this morning, did you calculate it for me? I think it's better to avoid traveling!"
The blind man lying on the ground was not afraid. He shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, calm down. The villain did not intend to collide. It was because the two old horses were affected by the mighty aura of the real dragon in the car. They were in a daze for a moment and almost missed your Majesty's important event.
!”
"Your Majesty!" Cao Kun looked back at his carriage and ordered: "Let them go! Take them back to the house and wait for me to go back and interrogate them!"
The coachman readjusted the carriage. Cao Kun got on the carriage. Yuan Shikai, who was dressed in plain clothes, smiled slightly and said, "Zhong Shan still believes the lies of these charlatans?"
Cao Kun nodded: "Don't you think it's strange, President, that the old man and the young man just knew immediately that there was a real dragon sitting in the car?"
Yuan Shikai smiled and said: "You are the chief of the bodyguard of the Presidential Palace. Wherever you are, I will be there nine times out of ten. Is this strange?"
Cao Kun nodded: "What the President said is true. I just think these two people are suspicious. However, they are here to tell fortunes and they accidentally collide with your carriage. I suspect that the revolutionaries in Jiangnan are still determined to give up, so they put those two people there."
The two were taken back to the mansion for strict interrogation!"
Yuan Shikai nodded: "That's right! People who do great things must not believe in any heavenly principles or numbers. Only you are the most reliable!"
After handling the matter, Cao Kun rushed home as soon as possible. As soon as he stepped into the house, he immediately asked the two fortune tellers to be taken to his study. Cao Kun waved away his men, sat down on the recliner, and looked at the two fortune tellers.
Because of fear, the young man hid behind the blind man and poked his head out from time to time to see Cao Kun.
Cao Kun's face was thick and thick, and his face was full of flesh. His two thick mustaches completely covered his upper lip. He took off his hat, revealing a big bald head, which glowed dimly under the light of a lamp. Cao Kun took a sip of tea.
: "Are you a fortune teller? How about telling my fortune?"
The blind man groped around. The young man behind him hurriedly helped the blind man find a chair, and stood beside him in an orderly manner. The blind man put down the bamboo pole and said, "Your Excellency is already a supreme minister, so why bother?"
Cao Kun laughed loudly: "You charlatans always use such kind words to fool people. If you give me a pleasant word, it will count or not. If you want to count, maybe I will give you a few rewards and let you go. If you don't
Forget it, if you scare my horse, even if I pull you out and kill you, no one will care!"
"Sir, do you really want to count?" the blind man asked.
"Yes! It must be counted! I want to see what you are capable of as a half-immortal!"
"In this case, I have no choice but to give up my life span of ten years to tell your fortune!"
The blind man tremblingly took out a few copper coins from his arms, shook them slightly in the tortoise shell, and muttered something. "Wow!" A handful of copper coins were scattered on the table. The blind man found them one by one with his hands, and touched them again.
Positive and negative, his right hand was making various gestures randomly. He didn't speak for a long time. Cao Kun looked at the blind man's movements, his unhurried gestures were weird, and with his Buddhist personality, he already believed 20%.
"Tell me! What do you want to ask, sir?" The blind man finished everything, put away the coins and tortoise shell again, and sat down at attention.
Cao Kun said: "Tell me about me first! If what you say is right! Let's talk about other things later!"
"Your Majesty, your childhood was good, your youth was a little difficult, and your adulthood is a success. If my calculations are correct, your Majesty still has the strength to continue to make progress!"
"Oh? Are you serious?" Cao Kun attended private schools for several years when he was young. His family fell into decline at the age of sixteen, and he had to rely on small businesses to make a living. Until Yuan Shikai trained at the small station, Cao Kun joined the martial arts and was sent to Tianjin by Yuan Shikai.
He studied at Tianwu Bei Academy and became Yuan Shikai's confidant. Now he is not only the chief of guards of the presidential palace, but also the commander of the third division stationed in the capital. Yuan Shikai has promised Cao Kun that when he succeeds in ascending the throne, he will make Cao Kun the general of Huwei and the governor of Zhili. It can be said that
He held a high position and held military power.
The blind man nodded: "The world is in chaos, and heroes and heroes have emerged together. How many people are as capable as you in literature and martial arts? As long as you continue to encourage me, it will be no problem to become a prince and become a prime minister in the future!"
"Hahaha..." Cao Kun laughed loudly: "Old blind man, these are good words, good! Let me ask you, how can I encourage you?"
The blind man said: "One word is 'loyalty'! But..."
"But what?"
"It's okay if you don't talk about this kind of thing! It has nothing to do with you, sir!"
"Speak!" Cao Kun took off his sword and put it in front of him: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hesitate!"
The blind man sighed: "Hey! Your Majesty must listen, I will talk to you, but I advise you not to interfere!"
Cao Kun nodded: "You tell me first!"
The blind man said: "I bumped into you accidentally on the street today. I saw the real dragon sitting in your car. I made a prediction and realized that the aura of the real dragon was scattered, which seemed to be an ominous sign. As a bodyguard, you should work hard to protect the safety of the real dragon.
If something serious happens, it will be extremely detrimental to your future!"
"A bad omen? What bad omen?" Cao Kun asked.
The blind man shook his head: "I am still a man of little utility, and I have not yet fully understood God's will, but I can tell you to be careful of people around the real dragon! Especially people with the word 'Ding'! This is the real dragon's biggest enemy!"
