Yang Rui and Liu County Lieutenant left the West Garden and returned to the inn they had booked on a horse carriage. Liu County Lieutenant, who was in high spirits, ordered a table of good wine and dishes. After drinking with Yang Rui, he went back to his room to rest.
At the dining table, County Lieutenant Liu inadvertently revealed some information to Yang Rui. Yang Rui was most likely going to be the county magistrate of Juping County, which was in line with his previous plans. Naturally, he was satisfied. In comparison, Yang Rui was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep because of the gold coins.
Previously, he had promised to sponsor Liu County Lieutenant. Paying 5,000 gold coins in half a year was not a big burden for Yang Rui. Now that he had donated the position of General Feng, he would have to fork out 2,500 gold coins every month. With the current income level of Mountain Town, he would not be able to afford it. He had to find another way to earn money!
However, other than Ren Sisi's [Beginner Level Alchemy] talent, Yang Rui could not think of any other way to earn money quickly. Of course, with the further promotion of the "Palace Donation", the price of high-grade wood had increased by several times. Yang Rui had a portion of it in his hands. He could sell it and earn some money! However, the amount was very limited!
Yang Rui thought about it for a long time but to no avail. Then, he remembered something from the forum in his previous life. Therefore, Yang Rui woke up early the next day. While Liu County Lieutenant was still asleep, he went to the Xiamen Gate in the northern part of Luoyang City to do something.
Although he said he did something, it was actually just a divination! Yang Rui remembered the most about Luoyang City in the game in his previous life was the fortune teller outside the Xiamen Gate.
This fortune teller would charge one gold coin for every divination and could only ask him one question. After asking a question, the fortune-teller would not give a direct answer. Instead, he would only give a short answer. The most bizarre thing was that, most of the time, the fortune-teller would not give a single reply, wasting a gold coin for nothing!
However, the players all agreed that as long as the fortune teller answered and the person involved could understand the divination correctly, it would be very accurate most of the time!
"I would like to ask if Cheng Li would submit to Mountain Town?"
Yang Rui easily found the fortune teller. He handed over one gold coin and asked a question. He received a reply in less than a second!
"Trees have branches in the forest. Birds fly in the wind. When the clouds cover the clouds, the drifting birds will fly into the forest. If they have no skills, it is like returning empty-handed!"
Yang Rui did not look for the fortune teller in his previous life. He did not expect to receive a reply so quickly! At first, Yang Rui thought that the fortune teller was just fooling him because of the lack of business. However, after reading the reply carefully, Yang Rui believed it.
Yang Rui's question was naturally about Cheng Yu! In his previous life, until the end of the Yellow Turban Uprising, there was no news of a player recruiting a famous historical general. Now that Cheng Yu had taken the initiative to stay in Gourd Cave and study, it would be a pity if Yang Rui did not seize the opportunity to keep him! However, subduing a famous person like Cheng Yu would definitely not be an easy task!
From the fortune teller's divination, it basically reflected the relationship between Yang Rui and Cheng Yu. That was why Yang Rui believed it. The divination also mentioned that Cheng Yu might be leaving and that he would have to fight for merits in the upcoming Yellow Turban Uprising. It was also consistent with reality! Including the last two sentences, it also expressed the reality that he might not be able to keep Cheng Yu!
In other words, if Yang Rui wanted to keep Cheng Yu, it would be very difficult. He would have to make a great contribution in the Yellow Turban Uprising! What was the meaning of "great contribution"? The difficulty would definitely not be low!
Although the fortune teller did not give a definite result, Yang Rui felt that the one gold coin was well spent! After all, the game was not reality. How could there be so much certainty? The fortune teller was able to give a specific situation and gave a lot of hints. It could be considered a divine fortune teller! Next, Yang Rui would have to make more preparations for the Yellow Turban Uprising!
When Yang Rui returned to the inn after finishing his divination outside the Xiamen Gate, Liu County Lieutenant had not yet woken up. After Liu County Lieutenant woke up, went to the toilet, washed up, and had a meal, Yang Rui and the other two walked towards the Teleportation Portal.
"System Notification: Due to Emperor Ling driving a donkey cart in the Inner Palace for fun, he crashed into a rockery and was slightly injured. The news of Emperor Ling driving a donkey cart has spread to the Inner Palace. The bureaucrats and scholars in the capital are trying to imitate him. Bad habits have become the norm, and public support has decreased by 10 points! The system has advanced to Guanghe Year 6, Sixth Month … "
"System Notification: Due to Emperor Ling's debauchery, he imitated the streets of the city and set up markets and markets. He led the palace maids and concubines to dress up as merchants, guests, performers, monkeys, etc., to trade and communicate with each other. This is a great breach of etiquette, and public support has decreased by 10 points! The system has advanced to Guanghe Year 6, Eighth Month … "
Before Yang Rui and Liu County Lieutenant arrived at the Teleportation Portal, two system notifications rang in Yang Rui's ears. Out of Yang Rui's expectations, the system had advanced the game time by another four months! The public support had also continued to decrease. This was probably to pave the way for the Yellow Turban Uprising. It was as if a storm was about to come!
Yang Rui was already mentally prepared for the advancement of the system's time, but when it really came, he still felt that there was not enough time! The game time had advanced to Guanghe Year 6, Eighth Month, which was at most half a year away from the Yellow Turban Uprising! Moreover, he did not know how many times the system would advance the game in half a year!
In his previous life, when Yang Rui had just entered the game, the Yellow Turban Uprising plot had already passed. There was a post on the forum that talked about the advancement of the system's plot, but Yang Rui only skimmed through it and did not pay much attention to it! Therefore, he did not have an accurate grasp of the game time!
"Blazing Sun, is there something wrong?"
After hearing the system notification, Yang Rui was distracted for a moment and stood still. Liu County Lieutenant noticed that Yang Rui did not follow him and turned around to ask.
"I'm fine! County Magistrate! I was just a little distracted just now, please don't take it to heart! "
NPCs in the system were unable to hear the system notifications, but they could obtain the corresponding information through other channels. The speed was only slightly delayed.
The two of them used the Teleportation Portal to return to Juping County. After that, Yang Rui accompanied Liu County Lieutenant to the government office and chatted for a while. After that, Yang Rui contacted Ren Sisi and went straight to Gaoqiao Town. He wanted to talk to Sisi about the "Beginner Potion Concoction" talent.
