Sima Wan was full of thanks, but he choked back after saying 20% ​​off.

At this time, Niu Diao muttered: "Even if he is a close friend, he can't get a 20% discount. At most, it's a 82% discount."

Li Shui shook his head and said firmly: "He is different from others. He is a best friend among close friends."

When Sima Wan heard this, his heart became excited again.

He took out a piece of jewelry to pay the bill, and then happily entered Shang Jun's Villa.

Now that Li Shui was busy with his affairs, he didn't have much time to entertain Sima Wan, so he just took him around for a while.

Even so, when Sima Wan came out of Shang Jun's Courtyard, he felt that his life would never be the same again.

The gatekeeper Niu Cal suddenly stopped Sima Wan and said with a smile: "Sir, please stay."

Sima Wan was stunned for a moment and asked cautiously: "What? Do you have to pay when you go out?"

Niu Da laughed loudly: "How can it be possible? The banished immortal regards money as dung. He is an transcendent master. How can he talk about money?"

As Niu Diao spoke, he took out a small box. When he opened the box, there was a shiny bronze plate with two lines of words cast on it. One line said: Shang Jun's Courtyard. The other line said: Best Friend.

Niu Dao said with a smile: "Any close friend of the banished immortal can receive such a bronze medal. Of course, if you don't like it, you can refuse it."

Sima Wan asked: "Do you need money for this bronze medal?"

Niu Calf said: "No money, it's completely free."

Sima Wan breathed a sigh of relief, happily took the bronze medal and hung it around his neck.

The bronze medal glowed golden in the sun, a bit like a gold medal.

In the past, Sima Wan walked on the street with his hands and feet tied up, looking cautious. But today he is wearing a bronze medal, consciously or unconsciously, his waist is straightened.

Outside Xianyang City, in the western suburbs, thousands of people are quickly building a high platform.

The high platform is made of loess, covered with flat stones, and then covered with silk and satin.

The entire high platform is extremely gorgeous. After all, after nightfall, His Majesty will come here to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings.

The altar was quickly completed in just one day. Such a large formation also invisibly conveyed the news of the upcoming lunar eclipse.

Just as the courtiers feared, if there is no lunar eclipse, the emperor who appears on the altar tonight will definitely lose his face.

However, the matter has come to this, and we can only continue step by step.

In the palace, Ying Zheng put on the imperial robes, then led the princes out of the palace and went straight to the altar.

Along the way, the Qin soldiers held long swords and guarded the four sides, avoiding all the other people. They were extremely majestic and domineering.

Xiang Chao hid behind the door of his house and secretly peeked out for a few times. Then he said to his confidant behind him with a sigh of relief: "My Yu'er can take your place."

The confidant was already used to this kind of thing and nodded against his will.

When the emperor reached the altar, the civil and military officials were already waiting there.

There were many people around the altar, but no one dared to make any noise, so it was completely silent.

Although no one spoke, the courtiers were all looking at each other and exchanging opinions with their eyes.

Chunyu Yue Wang Wan and others were worried. Because it is easy to make mistakes when worshiping the sky in a hurry. What is even more disturbing is that if there is no lunar eclipse tonight, His Majesty will not only lose his majesty, but also arouse speculation among the people. If he is

If someone is willing to take advantage of it, it may cause a lot of trouble.

The other courtiers were holding back their thoughts to see Li Shui and Sima Wan make a fool of themselves. In their opinion, the possibility of a lunar eclipse happening tonight was very small. Even if there was a vision, it would not be possible for Sima Wan to be like this.

The prediction was so conclusive that it was accurate to the exact day.

They have already thought that as long as there is no lunar eclipse tonight, they will immediately accuse Sima Wan of deceiving the public, and Li Shui's remarks will become ridiculous nonsense. This will damage Li Shui's status in the eyes of His Majesty.

.

After Li Shui is overthrown, everyone can be reused again. Everything in Xianyang City can be completely restored to its original appearance.

Whenever these courtiers think of the days before Li Shui came, they can't help but burst into tears of excitement.

Of course, after driving away Li Shui, his papermaking skills, iron pots, fairy wine, and other magical things can be kept...

Apart from these two groups of people, the only ones left are the dignitaries who once sent their children to Shang Jun's Courtyard to study.

These people stood there, looking at their eyes, nose, mouth, and heart. On the surface, they looked calm, but in fact, they were very nervous in their hearts. They were praying. They prayed that the lunar eclipse must happen, otherwise, their children's lives would be in danger.

The future is all over.

…………

The red sun turned to the west, and Ying Zheng climbed to the top of the altar in the glow. All the princes followed behind Ying Zheng.

Hu Hai glanced at Fu Yao quietly, with a proud smile on his face.

From Hu Hai's point of view, Huaiguzi's master and apprentice were used to being arrogant and domineering and talking nonsense. This time, he couldn't help but play a big game, and it was very likely that he would kill himself.

They have done their own misfortune, and their good days are about to come.

The more Hu Hai thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Fu Yao couldn't help but frown when he saw his cunning smile. Hu Hai quickly lowered his head and stopped looking at Fu Yao.

Hu Hai felt a little depressed: How does this guy look? He is obviously one year younger than me, so why is he a head taller than me? Could it be that the food of the banished immortal can make the body strong?

Hu Hai and Li Shui were at odds with each other, so they had been reluctant to eat the food developed by Li Shui. Now... he was a little shaken and thought he could give it a try.

…………

Ying Zheng was already standing at the top of the altar. Looking to the west, the sun had disappeared, leaving only a touch of red.

The red color also gradually dissipated, and the whole sky and earth became dark. Not long after, a full moon hung in the sky.

Ying Zheng looked at the full moon and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The moonlight tonight is really beautiful, but it's a pity that I don't have the heart to appreciate it.

There is no curfew in Xianyang City tonight, and even the city gates are open.

Countless people came out of their homes and came to the altar. They were blocked by Qin soldiers and could not get close, but this did not prevent them from standing far away and trying to see the emperor's face.

In fact, they stood too far away, and the light here was dark, so they tried their best, but in fact they only saw a silhouette.

However, the figure alone was enough to satisfy the people. They had even thought about telling others in a more embellished way after they returned.

When bragging, naturally you cannot say that you only saw a figure. You must say that you saw the face. Not only that, but you also had the honor to salute His Majesty, and His Majesty also said "no courtesy"...

Many people were immersed in their imaginations and even forgot what they were doing tonight.

Two hours later, Ying Zheng was getting impatient. He called Sima Wan up and asked, "When will the lunar eclipse happen?"

Sima Wan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said fearfully: "Your Majesty, I... I have very little knowledge. At present, I can only estimate it to a certain day, but not to a certain hour."

Ying Zheng was a little unhappy, but then he thought about it, it would be very difficult to calculate to a certain day. So he nodded: "That's all, I understand."

Sima Wan carefully returned to the team.

At this time, not only Ying Zheng was impatient with waiting, but also the civil and military officials and the people who came out of Xianyang City were a little impatient.

Some children were so bored that they kept pulling adults' fingers to go home.

Some people can't resist their children and can only go back with a look of regret.

Ying Zheng paced back and forth restlessly, and whispers began to appear in the ranks of the ministers.

Someone glanced at Sima Wan, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Sima, where is the lunar eclipse you mentioned?"

Sima Wan explained patiently: "Don't be anxious, there will definitely be one tonight."

The man chuckled: "As we all know, a lunar eclipse is when the Tengu swallows the moon. How did Sima Wan know when the Tengu swallowed the moon? Could it be that he understands animal language?"

Many people laughed softly.

Sima Wan said nothing. In the past, he always had to argue when this kind of topic came up. But today, he was not interested at all. He just sneered in his heart: A lunar eclipse is a dog eating the moon? Bah, what a bunch of uneducated people.

Idiot. I, Sima Wan, am the one who grasps the truth of this world.

At first, Sima Wan was very confident, but as time went by, it was almost dawn. Sima Wan also became anxious.

However, some courtiers who were shady reached their hands under their necks and gently slid them towards Sima Wan twice.

Sima Wan's legs are a little weak.

Li Shui came over, patted Sima Wan on the shoulder, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, you and I are in the same boat. Your calculation is based on my theory. If you are guilty, we are both guilty."

Sima Wan immediately felt more at ease.

Of course, if he hadn't seen the shining gold medal for immunity from death in Li Shui's neck, he might have been more at ease.

Seeing that the sky was about to break, Ji Ming walked up to Ying Zheng and said with joy, "Your Majesty, the lunar eclipse will probably not happen. Please go back to the palace."

Just as Ying Zheng was about to speak, many people suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked up and found that the full moon was suddenly missing a piece, as if it had been bitten by someone.

Many courtiers couldn't help but exclaimed: "The lunar eclipse is really a lunar eclipse."

Ji Ming looked pale and secretly held the fortune stone in his arms, thinking: What's going on? What's going on? Am I so unlucky? Whoever side I stand on will lose? I've been saying this for a month

Wouldn't an eclipse happen and the moon lose a piece?
