Chapter 258: The Tide Returns

Chapter 258: The Tide Returns

Wang Taiyu didn't expect this.

This time when he entered the palace, he was able to see Du Rugui, the ancestor of the Du family, whom he had only heard of but never seen before.

What's even more unexpected is.

The first time we met, we became close friends.

Moreover, they have a common nephew whose surname is neither Wang nor Du.

Until I left the palace.

Wang Taiyu's face was filled with an expression of absurdity that he couldn't suppress.

Du Rugui is different.

His expression at this moment was extremely complicated.

Emperor Dakang's attitude was beyond his expectations.

If it were before, his nonsense words were just to test the other party and give him a way out.

Then Wang Taiyu appeared again.

They have the same nephew, even a fool cannot tolerate this.

But Emperor Dakang really endured it.

"Chen Huangpi, you've been more stable lately."

Du Rugui said in a deep voice: "I have a premonition that the capital will soon change. There will be a huge chaos, and I can only watch from the sidelines."

Chen Huangpi asked in confusion: "Is it because of Emperor Dakang?"

Du Rugui said, "This man is as cunning as anyone I have ever seen in my life. You must be careful and never have any contact with him again."

"I see."

Chen Huangpi nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, he didn't want to have any contact with Emperor Dakang.

The feeling that man gave him was an indescribable sense of horror.

It's not about strength, but about the kind of person who appears to be no different from an ordinary person, but in fact hides an inhuman heart beneath the skin, which makes people feel instinctively disgusted at just one glance.

I saw that Chen Huangpi really listened to me.

Du Rugui breathed a sigh of relief. His purpose of returning to Beijing was to serve Emperor Dakang.

He had previously planned to intervene.

But now I just want to be a bystander for the time being, wait and see how things develop before considering whether to join in.

"Once this matter is settled, I will go with you to find the Yin-Yang place."

"Can't you go now?"

"No."

"why?"

"Because if you survive a great disaster, you will have good fortune in the future."

Du Rugui took a deep look at Chen Huangpi.

This capital city will encounter a great disaster.

After a great disaster there will be a great opportunity.

He didn't know whether he could seize that opportunity, but for him, being able to experience a disaster from beginning to end would benefit his divination skills a lot.

By then, he would be able to add more strength to what his brother is going to do.

Du Rugui was about to leave after saying this.

Finally, he turned his head and glanced at Wang Taiyu: "I know a little bit about physiognomy. You have a bad fate and you are likely to die early. If you forge ahead bravely, there may be a chance of turning things around."

Wang Taiyu bowed and said, "Thank you for telling me, but..."

"It's just bullshit."

Du Rugui waved his hand in annoyance: "I am just reminding you kindly. I don't have the heart to listen to you."

The words have not yet fallen.

Du Rugui's figure slowly disappeared.

Wang Taiyu shook his head slightly when he saw this. He suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, turned his head and said to Chen Huangpi: "My friend, my son Mingdao should be with you, right? Where is he now?"

……

At Wang's house.

Wang Mingdao lowered his head and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Sitting at the upper seat were Wang Taiyu and Chen Huangpi.

"father……"

"Zuo Weilang, your father is not here."

Wang Taiyu said coldly: "I am the Grand Tutor of the Ninth Duke of Dakang and the Censor-in-Chief. There is no father-son relationship in the officialdom. Are you, a mere seventh-rank official, qualified to seek kinship with me?"

"Master Taifu, I know I was wrong."

"Since you know you are wrong, then continue to kneel."

Wang Taiyu didn't give his only son any face at all. He was almost furious.

Chen Huangpi didn't know how dangerous the palace was, but how could Wang Mingdao not know?

How dare you!

Seeing this, Chen Huangpi on the side could not help but say, "Master Wang, actually I was going to the palace, but I didn't know the way, so I took my nephew with me."

He was fighting with Emperor Dakang, and when he swung that shocking sword at the end, the pressure was no longer something Wang Mingdao could bear.

Therefore, in order to protect Wang Mingdao, he was put into the Book of Souls.

Now Wang Mingdao was scolded as a son.

Chen Huangpi also felt a little guilty.

"nothing dealing with you."

Wang Taiyu shook his head and said, "My dear friend, you have an extraordinary family background and an even more powerful master, but my son is not like that. He is dull and cannot be a good official, and he is also a mess as a human being."

"Although I scolded him, I was actually teaching him."

"I see."

Chen Huangpi understood and said, "Then continue to scold."

"There's no point in scolding."

Wang Taiyu sighed and said helplessly: "This child is not like me. He has the same temper as his mother. He is a donkey and he only wants the world to be in chaos. I really can't do anything about him."

Chen Huangpi said: "Then let his mother scold him."

Hear this.

Wang Mingdao clenched his fists and whispered, "Chen Huangpi, my mother passed away a long time ago."

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

Chen Huangpi quickly apologized: "I don't have a mother either, don't be angry, we are all the same."

"Oh, that's all."

Wang Taiyu felt mixed emotions, so he said, "I will pretend that I don't know about this matter of entering the palace, but since I am involved, I can't just withdraw from it if I want to."

Although he didn't know the whole picture of the scene in the palace before.

But he could clearly smell the dangerous undercurrent.

Chen Huangpi has entered His Majesty's sight.

If Wang Taiyu acts as if nothing happened, then he does not deserve to be called a running dog tutor.

"Next, are you going to go to the Du family, or stay at my house?"

Wang Taiyu's tone was extremely serious.

It seems that this is a very important matter.

Chen Huangpi said without thinking: "Of course I have to stay in the Wang family."

"Why?"

"Because you are the Emperor's man, but you speak for me. I can see that he is actually very angry."

Chen Huangpi said seriously: "If I leave, he will definitely cause trouble for you."

"On the other hand, as for Elder Du, the Emperor Dakang seems to be very afraid of him and will probably not take action."

As soon as these words came out.

Wang Taiyu's face was full of surprise.

"You actually see it so clearly?"

"I'm not a fool, why can't I see through it?"

Chen Huangpi said with a strange look on his face: "I am very well-read. I have read Taoist scriptures and medical books since I was a child. My master said that I am a genius. Geniuses naturally know everything."

Wang Taiyu laughed and said, "You know that His Majesty will not take action against the Du family, but you choose to stay at the Wang family instead of going to the Du family. This is not something a genius would do."

"I do not care."

Chen Huangpi said: "I only know that if you help me, I will help you."

"But I've done more harm than good."

"No, that's not how it works."

Chen Huangpi held up a finger and said, "Master has always told me since I was a child that no matter if it is a good thing or a bad thing, we should treat everything as it is. We should not think of kindness only when we see profit, otherwise it will be evil."

"Been taught a lesson."

Wang Taiyu stood up and saluted Chen Huangpi.

"What are you..."

"I accept it. I am your master."

"Oh, then you have to bow five more times."

"Why?"

"Because I have many masters." (End of this chapter)
