Beijing, First-grade Daoist temple!
Gu Fengming arrived at First-grade Temple, followed by Chen Dao and a dozen White Clad Soldiers.
Today was the 8th. According to the guide, he could find a person called Zhang Banxian in First-grade Temple to calculate the fate of the country.
Gu Fengming had left the palace at the right time so that he would not waste this opportunity to calculate the fate of the country.
If it was in the past, if someone told him that there was a Taoist priest who could predict the fate of a country, Gu Fengming would probably treat the other party as a swindler. However, it was different now. Since it was a guide given by the system, Gu Fengming believed that this place would definitely work.
"Who would have thought that there would be an expert hidden in such a dilapidated Taoist temple!”
Looking at the dilapidated Taoist temple in front of him, Gu Fengming couldn't help but laugh in his heart. If he didn't have a guide, even if he passed by, he wouldn't want to go in and take a look.
"Let's go!"
Gu Fengming was the first to step forward. Chen Dao followed closely behind him. His hand was on the hilt of his sword as if he was prepared for any danger.
"As the saying goes, every day has dreams, and the soul foretells good or bad luck. Zhuang Sheng is an illusory butterfly, and Lu Wang is a flying bear.”
"This Penniless Priest calculated today that there was a noble visiting, but I didn't expect it to be true!”
Gu Fengming had just stepped into the courtyard of the Taoist temple when a half-drunk old Taoist priest staggered out of the dilapidated main hall. When he saw Gu Fengming, he said with a drunken smile.
"Stop!"
Chen Dao looked at the drunkard Daoist priest in front of him. His expression darkened as he shouted.
"Hey, it's fine!"
Gu Fengming didn't mind and took a step forward.
"Are you Zhang Banxian?"
"Hehe, it's me. Little friend, are you looking for This Penniless Priest to read your fortune?”
Zhang Banxian nodded and looked at Gu Fengming. She sized him up and asked with a hint of splendor in her eyes.
"That's right!"
"Hehe, little friend, it's not cheap to ask This Penniless Priest to calculate. Can you afford it?”
"How much?"
Gu Fengming raised his head and looked at the other party as he asked. He knew that it was impossible for him to calculate for nothing. To be able to calculate the fate of a country, the fee was probably not low.
"This poor priest only divines once a month on the 8th, so the fee is a little higher. One time, it's a hundred taels of gold!”
"Hiss!"
Gu Fengming was shocked when he heard this. Although he had already expected that the price would be high, he still gasped when he heard the price.
In the Great Feng Dynasty, one tael of gold was equivalent to ten taels of silver. One hundred taels of gold was equivalent to one thousand taels of silver. This was simply robbing money.
"Do you charge this price to everyone?"
Gu Fengming asked.
"Honest!"
"Heh, now I understand why you're so down and out!”
Gu Fengming smiled. If it wasn't for the system's guidance, Gu Fengming would never fork out this money.
"I'll send someone to deliver the silver.”
Gu Fengming looked at the other party and said.
"Alright, little friend, please come in!"
"Wait for me outside."
Gu Fengming glanced at Chen Dao and Bai Xibing.
"Young Master."
Chen Dao was a little hesitant. He looked at Zhang Banxian warily.
"It's fine."
Gu Fengming did not care about the strategy given by the system. He did not want to die, so he followed Zhang Banxian into the Taoist temple.
"Little friend, I don't know what you want to calculate. I'm calculating everything.”
Zhang Banxian giggled as she looked at Gu Fengming.
"What I want to calculate is the fate of the country!"
Gu Fengming looked at Zhang Banxian and said.
Hearing this, Zhang Banxian was not surprised at all. She still looked happy and nodded.
It was as if the words 'fate of the nation' did not carry much weight in his eyes. The scene that followed made Gu Fengming's eyes widen.
Zhang Banxian took out a stack of papers and handed it to Gu Fengming.
"This is the luck of the country that you measured this time. Take it well, young friend!”
"Just this?"
Gu Fengming was stunned. He looked at the other party's expression and thought that the other party would play with it for a long time. However, the other party only took out something that was obviously prepared in advance and gave it to him.
"Could this guy be an NPC set up by the system in a fixed format?”
Gu Fengming muttered to himself as he took the national fate from the other party.
However, he did not think too much about it and opened the national fortune.
" Blue Nation Fate estimates: The capital's canal will be blocked in two days, causing the canal to be congested with boats. If it is cleared, it will cause the river bank to burst, causing the villages downstream to be flooded. It should be handled with caution!”
"The canals are blocked, the boats are congested, the river banks burst, and the villages are flooded?”
Gu Fengming frowned when he saw the message.
This was blue national fortune. According to the level of his card, blue wasn't considered high.
"So, damn it, this Zhang Banxian is really an NPC set by the system. You cheated me of 100 gold taels, right?”
Gu Fengming cursed. After seeing the blue National Fate calculation, Gu Fengming understood that this was most likely an NPC set by the system.
"Is this calculation of national fate useful?"
Looking at the national fortune calculated with 100 gold taels, Gu Fengming was depressed.
"No, it's useful!"
However, Gu Fengming suddenly thought of something.
" This national destiny is equivalent to predicting the future. In two days, the canal will be blocked, and the ships will be congested. At that time, the river will definitely need to be dredged, but once it is dredged, it will cause the river bank to burst and flood the villages downstream.”
"If the correct method is to first reinforce and repair the river bank, then dredge the river.”
"But who would have thought of this? If I were to grasp this point, would I be able to scam someone?”
Gu Fengming's eyes lit up. In the current court situation, Gu Fengming did not have anyone he could trust. The only people he could trust were his close ministers, such as the East and West Chambers and the Jinyiwei. There was also Yue Fei, who was far away in the Spiritual State. However, the problem was that Yue Fei and Gu Fengming could not be touched.
Yue Fei was used by Gu Longming and Gu Fengming to restrain the four provincial governors of the northwest. As long as Yue Fei was around, the four provincial governors would not dare to act rashly. As a last resort, Gu Fengming was unwilling to touch Yue Fei.
Now, Gu Fengming could use this flood as a premise to plot against the officials in the court. When the time came, he could use this as an excuse to wipe them out and then stuff Yu Qian in. Presumably, those officials would not be able to say anything.
At the thought of this, Gu Fengming could not help but reveal an evil smile.
"Hehe, let's see which one of you is the unlucky one.”
