Chapter 161 Believe it or not, it's up to you

"I said Ah Feng. Although I said I had to cultivate my body before leaving, I didn't have to walk so slowly. If this continues, we may not be able to reach the capital for half a month." Jiu Yun opened the curtains and looked out the window. He found that the carriage was still driving on the official road at a speed that could only be described as turtle speed. He couldn't help but turn back and say with some resentment towards Li Chunfeng who was sitting quietly.

"Why are you in a hurry?" Li Chunfeng opened his eyes and said, "I have discovered it now. It turns out that practicing martial arts like taking a break from your busy schedule is really effective. That sense of urgency will further stimulate the potential."

"How can you take a break from your busy schedule?" Jiu Yun looked at Tianse and said, "We have been setting off for five days and have not yet reached the territory of Zhongzhou. I said you are just lazy."

"What do you know?" Since the two of them had already said something, Li Chunfeng simply gave up the idea of ​​continuing to practice martial arts, sat cross-legged, signaled Jiu Yun to open the window a little wider, and said, "The current capital is definitely a place of right and wrong. It is no different from dying. Have you forgotten the news we heard yesterday?"

"Do you refer to the news I heard at the inn yesterday?" Jiu Yun thought for a while.

"Well, didn't there be many sects in the world going to the capital, openly or secretly?" Li Chunfeng said: "So many people go, they won't really go to see the lanterns, right? But then again, the guy said a lot yesterday, saying the famous and the unknown. I really can't remember what sect there is."

"He did talk about many sects yesterday." Jiu Yun said without hesitation: "Suzhou Qingliufang, Yangzhou Xuanhutang, Jingzhou Qingyin Temple, Jizhou Yinhumen, and Yizhou Lingyue Palace. If we included us, the six major sects in the Central Plains have already arrived. In addition, the Western Regions Mingwang Palace and Mobei Wuhan Hall that were said to have appeared in the capital. It can be said that the eight most powerful gangs in the world have gathered in the capital."

"On the surface, they are the eight most powerful sects." Li Chunfeng said without comment: "There are some guys who deliberately hide their strength and are not kind."

"Well, if you count the small gangs, there are so many. Let's do it. Yesterday, the man said his name include the local Daming Martial Arts Hall in the capital and the Nanshan Dojo..."

"Stop! Stop!" Li Chunfeng waved his hand and interrupted him without waiting for him to finish speaking, "Do you really remember everything?"

"Yeah." Jiuyun nodded with certainty and said, "Do you want me to repeat it to you?"

"Really or false?" Li Chunfeng said half-believingly.

No wonder he didn't believe it. Even if Li Chunfeng couldn't repeat it word by word, he would still remember the general content. But yesterday's situation was too bad.

He looked at Jiuyun and began to try to recall it.

Originally, they should be able to stay in a better inn. But Li Chunfeng had a sudden idea and wanted to hear some news from the diners. So he found a relatively cheap inn and stayed in.

There are relatively more people in cheap inns. And they are not too rich. Most of them are peddlers or people who are doing art in the world, or are no longer rushing to the world.

At that time, Li Chunfeng and the other two sat in a corner of the lobby on the first floor. The location was chosen by Li Chunfeng, because based on his experience in martial arts novels, this place is not noticeable, and at the same time, everyone in the lobby can be observed well. It is the kind of place where mysterious martial arts people often see in movies.

They were lucky. Since it was almost the end of the year and this year was a bumper year and there were no famines. Therefore, the topic of conversations after dinner was easily attracted to the annual Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in the Capital. Especially this year, the addition of a new title called the Courtesan Conference attracted everyone's attention.

Shortly after Li Chunfeng and the others sat down, the food and drink had not yet arrived. They could hear the table of guests near the door talking about this.

After hearing a few words, Li Chunfeng laughed. It seems that the words of the ancient sages are correct at all. Without worrying about food and clothing, the most common topics in men are left, and women are left. Especially in this kind of dining room similar to a teahouse. After drinking a few cups of yellow soup, no one has any reserved words.

After hearing a few words, Li Chunfeng discovered that the courtesan conference, which was originally considered a top-notch, had already overwhelmed the main course. After talking for a long time, few people had said anything about the Lantern Festival. On the contrary, they had their own opinions on which yard or which flower boat was the most beautiful, and they argued endlessly. Finally, they even talked about who had better skills, but anyone with discerning eyes could see that the costumes and appearance of those who were talking big were already seen. They would never win the smile of the beauty, nor would they become the guest of the curtain.

When Li Chunfeng heard them talking about this, he smiled bitterly at Jiu Yun. The latter also looked at him with a blushing face. The two of them were speechless and prepared to check out and get up.

But when Li Chunfeng waved and signaled to waiter to come, he heard someone shouting in another corner: "What you said is wrong. This year's courtesan has already had someone else."

Li Chunfeng's hand stopped in the air, and like everyone else, his eyes were all looking at that corner. It was a fortune teller wearing a washed white cotton robe. On his thin face, he looked at everyone with a pair of yellow eyes that seemed to be drinking too much.

Seeing that everyone looked like him, the fortune teller smiled indifferently and said, "Although the top cards you just mentioned are also beautiful women in a hundred. But if you want to win this year's courtesan, it's a delusion."

"What?" said a big man who drank that even his beard seemed to be a little red, "You fortune teller, have never seen those girls, how could you know that they are all in a good mood?"

"Yes? Tell me."

"Can you even calculate this?"

"Not necessarily. Look at this fortune teller, he is pretty handsome. If he is talented, he might really be loved by all your sisters. Maybe he is really the passionate young man on the Qinhuai Ten Miles."

At this time, the least feared thing is that someone argues. When everyone sees someone gets into trouble, they start to make a fuss.

"Do you really want me to say it?" The fortune teller smiled and said until everyone calmed down.

"That's natural." said the first bearded man, "Or why are we surround you? You are not a pretty girl."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

"It's okay to ask me to say it." The fortune teller still smiled and said after waiting for everyone to stop making noise: "But there's a price to ask me to speak."

"You are so boring." The man was the first to shout: "This strange thing is everyone's entertainment, but you even use it to make money?"

"Sorry." This time, the fortune teller did not give everyone a lot of time, and immediately responded: "I just rely on my words to support myself." As he said that, he also pointed to the fortune telling pole standing behind him.

Li Chunfeng followed everyone's eyes and saw four large characters with ink traces written on a white cloth that had almost become gray.

Prophecy of the unknown.

Everyone suddenly realized and looked at each other with a smirk. Li Chunfeng could see that everyone was sitting there wanted to know the news, but no one wanted to pay. And they couldn't force them, after all, what they said made sense. They just made a living by making a living.

Li Chunfeng looked around and thought that although he couldn't hold back his anger, since no one spoke, he should come out of the limelight by himself. So he gave Jiu Yun a wink.

Jiu Yun understood and stood up and came to the group of people and said, "Sir, I wonder what the rules are here?"

Everyone was a little excited. Suddenly, when they heard someone say this, they knew that someone was willing to stand up. When they saw clearly that the person coming was a handsome young man, an ambiguous smile appeared on their faces.

"What do you mean by this guy?" The fortune teller obviously didn't expect that someone would come forward and said in a little surprised.

Jiuyun finally had a tender face, and seemed a little cramped in everyone's eyes. He replied, "My young master wants to know what the teacher didn't say just now. I would like to ask how much does the teacher cost?"

When everyone followed his way, they saw Li Chunfeng sitting there leisurely and drinking. Of course, the words here did not escape from his ears. Seeing everyone looking at him, they smiled lightly and raised their glasses to signal to the fortune teller.

Of course, when the two went down the mountain, they did not wear Taoist robes that symbolized Lingyun Mountain. Moreover, Li Chunfeng was not as particular as Su Chen or Li Jingyan, so he and Jiuyun only wore long gowns of ordinary scholars. However, the two were already unworldly and were free to be a Tsinghua spirit. Jiuyun was a little embarrassed just now because he was discussing the affairs of the brothel. Everyone dared to tease him. But when he saw Li Chunfeng, he didn't dare to look directly at him as rudely as before.

Only the fortune teller nodded and said, "I don't know if the words of the Yamano Village man are trustworthy?"

"Believe it or not, and say it or not," Li Chunfeng said: "It's okay to say it, sir, it's easy to pay."

"I'll get paid first and then do things." The gentleman smiled softly.

"It's easy to say." Li Chunfeng said wildly: "Sir, I'll give you a price."

"Originally, I want to buy and sell this business. If I believe it, you don't think it's too much for me to give me a mountain of gold. If I don't believe it, you will feel distressed if you spend an extra copper. So, I would like to advise you to listen to it seriously?"

Everyone was confused when they heard this. Why did they have the principle of pushing out the business?

"Ha." Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "It's the same thing. Believe it or not, and say it or not. Sir, please speak."

"Okay." The fortune teller said with a high-high, "Then I'm not polite."

"Sir, please feel free." Li Chunfeng smiled. He was really worried in his heart. This guy looked like a wise man, but if he really met a liar in the world, he had already said it. He really wanted to offer a sky-high price, and his face would be a big loss.

Just as everyone was expecting, the fortune teller raised a finger.

"One hundred taels?" everyone speculated.

The fortune teller shook his head.

"One thousand taels?"

Still shake your head.

"Ten thousand taels?" As everyone asked questions with trembling voices, Li Chunfeng's heart also raised to his throat.
