Chapter 833: It is difficult to help in times of need
Qin Xuerong's eyes were full of determination, while Shen Shuyi stopped in front of a fortune-teller who was setting up a stall.
"Miss, why are you looking at this? You wouldn't believe this charlatan, would you?" Jinzhu couldn't help but speak.
Shen Shuyi looked at the stall owner, who was an old man in his seventies or eighties, with grey hair and beard, and half-closed eyes. He looked like an immortal or a hermit.
Of course, the premise is to ignore his tattered and patched clothes.
"Girl, fortune-telling or drawing lots! One tael of silver per time! No cheating, no asking for money!"
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows. One tael of silver was not cheap for ordinary people.
"I want to find someone. Can you figure it out?" Shen Shuyi didn't believe it, but since he couldn't find anyone anyway, he might as well join in the fun.
"Miss, are you fortune-telling or reading fortunes..." the old man stroked his beard and spoke with a smile.
"Let's do the fortune telling."
The old man handed the pen and ink to Shen Shuyi: "Please."
Shen Shu thought for a moment, then picked up his pen and wrote the word "Zhao".
The old man stared at the word for a while, then smiled and said, "The word Zhao can be broken down into three parts: sun, knife, and mouth. It means that this person is as dazzling as the scorching sun. The knife implies that this person is good at martial arts or has fierce methods, and is full of murderous aura. The scorching sun-like radiance and fierce methods all have outlets, implying that this person is in a high position and has great power."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Although there have always been many ways to interpret fortune-telling, it must be said that, at least up to this point, what he said is correct.
"In addition, the character Zhao belongs to the element of fire, which corresponds to the hexagram of Li. The hexagram of Li represents brightness and beauty, so this person has an extremely beautiful appearance."
Shen Shuyi had no way to verify this point. After all, she had little contact with this person in her previous life. She only knew that he seemed to be wearing a mask.
"Anything else?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"Zhao and Mu correspond to each other, one positive and one negative. This person may have two faces."
When Yu Ping heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "How can a person have two faces?"
"Then I don't know." The old man said with a smile.
"But sir, you still haven't helped me find out where he is." Shen Shuyi smiled and gave an ingot of silver.
Although I still couldn't find it, I just took it as a pleasure.
"Thank you, sir." Shen Shuyi turned around and left with a few maids.
The old man weighed the ten taels of silver in his hand and called Shen Shuyi: "Girl, I have one more thing to say to you!"
"What?" Shen Shuyi asked.
The old man smiled and said, "This man and the girl must have had some connection."
Shen Shuyi paused and asked, "Why do you say that, sir?"
"The sun is shining, the moon is bright, no matter what kind of light it is, it will shine on the girl."
After that, the old man smiled and said, "Closing up the stall, it's time to go home!"
Shen Shuyi stood there, thinking about something.
Indeed, the light of the word "Zhao" is so bright that it is impossible to look directly at it.
If this person was from a noble family in the imperial court, she would definitely have some interactions with him, but... there were too many people with whom she would have interactions.
Shen Shuyi didn't say anything, but Xie Jingchi's face appeared in his mind.
Jinzhu pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, I think he is just a liar. It seems that he said a lot, but it also seems that he said nothing."
"That's right, it's really easy to make money these days."
Shen Shuyi said nothing, his eyes swept across Qin Xin and Jian Po calmly, wondering what he was thinking.
At this moment, a figure, walking very fast, followed the crowd and bumped directly into Shen Shuyi.
"Be careful!" Qin Xin spoke anxiously, but at first, she thought she was an ordinary woman and reacted a little late.
Qin Xuerong raised her hairpin, her eyes sinister: "Go to hell! Shen Shuyi!"
The next moment, a cold light flashed, and Qin Xuerong's hairpin was swung fiercely towards Shen Shuyi.
Jinzhu came to his senses and kicked Qin Xuerong's knee, while Jianpo drew out his long sword and stabbed Qin Xuerong's hand cleanly!
"Ah--!" Qin Xuerong felt pain, and the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground before it touched Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi turned around and looked at her, curling the corners of his lips: "It turns out to be mother."
Jianpo held the long sword across Qin Xuerong's neck with a cold look in his eyes.
"Bitch! You caused me to be divorced and my two children to die. I will kill you!" Qin Xuerong rushed towards Shen Shuyi again, ignoring the long knife across her neck.
Qin Xin kicked her knee and Qin Xuerong fell to her knees.
The next moment, a box fell out.
Qin Xuerong's eyes turned red and she hurriedly picked up the box.
Shen Shuyi picked up the box, opened it and took a look. He saw a poisonous insect wriggling back and forth inside.
Perhaps because of the powder on her body, the poisonous insect was quite agitated.
Shen Shuyi raised the corner of his lips: "The Sixth Prince sent you here? Mother is really brave."
"Shen Shuyi, you!"
The next moment, before Qin Xuerong could finish her words, Shen Shuyi pinched her cheek, opened the lid of the porcelain Gu, and pointed it at Qin Xuerong's mouth!
In just a moment, the poisonous insect disappeared.
"Ah-ah!!!" Qin Xuerong covered her mouth in horror and lay on the side retching.
But the poisonous insect disappeared in an instant, and no matter how she tossed it, it didn't react at all.
"Shen Shuyi, I will kill you! I will kill you!" Qin Xuerong's eyes were full of tears. She was shocked and scared. She got up and rushed towards Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi mocked unceremoniously: "Useless trash, what else can you do besides yelling?"
Qin Xuerong was so angry that she looked like a madman, but unfortunately, Qin Xin and Jian Po didn't let her get close to them at all.
"Miss, do you want to just kill him?" Jianpo was a little impatient.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and smiled, "No need, just let her live in pain like this, anyway, she won't have any more wishes in her life."
It will only get worse day by day.
Shen Shuyi left with a few people, and Qin Xuerong screamed and roared angrily on the side of the road.
Jinzhu caught up with Shen Shuyi, eyes full of excitement: "Miss, is that a poisonous insect? Will it work if I feed it through my mouth?"
"I don't know what kind of Gu that is?"
"I don't know whether it will work or not." Shen Shuyi looked indifferent. He really didn't know whether it would work or not.
However, most poisonous insects need blood to attract them, otherwise, Qin Xuerong would not have gone to the trouble of stabbing her.
At this moment, on the second floor in the distance.
Xiao Tingshan was standing in front of the window, watching this scene.
Chen Zhong said with regret: "This Qin Xuerong is really more of a hindrance than a help."
"Forget it. I just wanted to use her to test Shen Shuyi. If she were so easy to get, she wouldn't be Princess Mingzhu." Xiao Tingshan looked normal and was not disappointed.
It’s just a pity to waste this rare heart-eating insect.
"Is the bed crossbow finished?" Xiao Tingshan asked.
Chen Zhong responded, "It's done. It's ready to use. We are fighting on two fronts right now. Your Highness, would you like to present the crossbow to His Majesty immediately?"
Xiao Tingshan opened his folding fan and said, "No hurry, the time has not come yet."
As the saying goes, it is easier to add icing on the cake than to provide timely assistance.
At present, whether in Yancheng or Liangzhou, Daqian has the upper hand, although it is not known how long this advantage can be maintained. Judging from the current situation, the bed crossbow presented by Jin at this time will obviously not have much effect.
