Chapter 309

Rather than calling it Niu Fu's residence, it would be better to call it Dong Yi's residence.

Ever since the failure of the campaign against Liangzhou, Niu Fu had been demoted to a commoner.

He no longer held any position in the army.

At this moment in the residence, Niu Fu and Dong Yi were thanking a fangshi (alchemist/mystic) before them with wild joy.

This fangshi looked like a person with the bearing of a Daoist immortal.

Facing the thanks of the couple Niu Fu and Dong Yi.

He smiled and shook his horsetail whisk.

"Rest assured, this child of your wife will definitely be a boy."

"However... alas!"

"Never mind, never mind, it is better for this old Daoist not to say it."

A look of regret appeared on the fangshi's face, and he turned to leave, stopping mid-sentence.

How could the couple Niu Fu and Dong Yi let this fangshi leave just like that?

In their hearts, this fangshi was a person with "superb Daoist arts," a celestial immortal descended to the mortal world!

What an immortal said was a heavenly secret; how could it be wrong?

Thus, the couple looked at each other, hurriedly grabbed the fangshi's sleeve, and said with sincere faces:

"Please, Daoist, you must tell us what it is. Will it affect the child's growth?"

The fangshi shook his head slightly and then sighed:

"The child in your wife's womb possesses dragon Qi."

"If born safely, it will definitely be a true Son of Heaven!"

"But..."

"With your current status, General Niu, I am afraid it will be very difficult for this true Son of Heaven to be born safely!"

What the fangshi said was like a sharp blade, fiercely stabbing into the hearts of Niu Fu and Dong Yi.

A true Son of Heaven—what this meant could not be more obvious.

After all.

Given the current pattern of the world.

The Guandong warlords were already completely unable to do anything to Old Dong.

After clearing out the Guandong, the change of dynasty was already a certainty.

As everyone knew.

Old Dong no longer had any direct male descendants alive in the world.

Therefore, Niu Fu and Dong Yi were trying their best to give birth to a son to inherit Old Dong's foundation.

After all, as the saying goes.

A mother is honored by her son.

Changing it to Niu Fu and Dong Yi, the couple both wanted to rely on their son to advance further!

But even if they tried twice as hard.

For so many years, there had been no movement in Dong Yi's belly.

Just when Niu Fu and Dong Yi were about to give up, Dong Yi finally became pregnant!

Although the months were still early, they didn't know if the child in the womb was a boy or a girl.

But one way or another, there was finally some movement.

This undoubtedly gave Niu Fu and Dong Yi hope once again!

Thus, the two burned incense and prayed frantically.

Hoping that the child in the womb would definitely be a boy.

At the same time.

This fangshi named "Yu Ji" found them.

Through certain means.

Yu Ji made the couple Niu Fu and Dong Yi completely believe that he was an immortal from heaven.

Subsequently, Yu Ji performed a feat of "immortal water."

It was said that after receiving the "immortal water" bestowed by Yu Ji, the child in the womb would definitely become a boy!

How could Dong Yi and Niu Fu not be tempted by this?

Thus, the scene just now occurred.

After listening to what Yu Ji said, Dong Yi glared angrily at Niu Fu.

It was all this useless husband's fault!

If it weren't for him being such a good-for-nothing.

How could he have had all his positions stripped away and become a person idling at home?

Niu Fu was already afraid of Dong Yi.

Added to the fact that he was indeed in the wrong.

At this moment, he only dared to lower his head deeply, not daring to look Dong Yi in the eye.

Seeing this, Yu Ji smiled:

"The two of you, why not contend for it?"

"As far as this old Daoist knows, the destiny of a true Son of Heaven is not often seen."

"Oh my, forgive this old Daoist for his slip of the tongue."

"Farewell, farewell, we shall meet again if fate allows."

Having said that, Yu Ji cupped his hands.

His figure gradually disappeared from the field of vision of Niu Fu and Dong Yi.

In fact, this was just a more sophisticated sleight of hand.

But with the IQ of Niu Fu and Dong Yi, it was completely impossible for them to see that this was a sleight of hand.

Moreover, the two had long since trusted Yu Ji implicitly.

Therefore.

In their eyes, Yu Ji was an immortal sent down from heaven!

"Damn Gu Linzhi!"

"If it weren't for him, how could the child in my womb be in this state?"

Dong Yi was a person with a competitive personality.

At this moment, being provoked by Yu Ji like this.

The resentment in her heart toward Gu Yi reached an unprecedented extreme.

……

Yu Ji, a native of Langya, Xuzhou.

Proficient in various Daoist arts, he had quite a reputation in the Xuzhou area.

On the eve of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yu Ji crossed the Yangtze River and went to the Jiangdong region of Yangzhou to develop.

Yu Ji was skilled in using talisman water to save people, and his reputation quickly rose in the Yangzhou area.

Many people called Yu Ji a "living immortal."

However.

The reason Yu Ji was able to become famous had the figures of many people behind it.

The Yu family itself was one of the top clans in Xiapi Commandery, Xuzhou.

After going to Jiangdong, Yu Ji often frequented the residences of the four great aristocratic families of Jiangdong.

(PS: The four great aristocratic families of Jiangdong: Zhang, Lu, Zhu, Gu)

Not long ago, Yu Ji was invited by a top aristocratic family in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, to travel north from Jiangdong to Chang'an to carry out a secret mission.

He had thought that this mission would be very difficult.

But even Yu Ji himself had not expected.

That he would be able to plant a rift in the heart of the target person so smoothly.

Next.

Yu Ji only needed to stay in this Chang'an City, occasionally adding water and fertilizer to that rift, and wait quietly for everything to blossom and bear fruit. ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
