　　Xiao Jiu is going to die soon？
　　Ye Qiu was shocked.
　　He suddenly remembered that on the way to rescue Xiao Jiu, Ye Wudi had also said such a thing.
　　It’s just that Ye Wudi also heard it from Longmei Zhenren’s mouth.
　　”Old thing, Xiao Jiu is alive and well, how could he die？” Ye Qiu asked.
　　Longmei Zhenren smiled and said, “I divined a hexagram, and Xiao Jiu’s life is coming to an end.”
　　Hearing this, Ye Qiu curled his lips and said, “Old thing, it’s not that I’m talking about you, how many times have your fortune-telling been accurate？”
　　Longmei Zhenren put away his smile and said, “Xiao Jiu is really going to die soon.”
　　”If it weren’t for you this time, then Xiao Jiu would definitely have died in the neighboring country.”
　　”Because of your appearance, his fate has been changed, but I dare to assert that he will still die.”
　　”He can live at most one more year, and maybe he will return to the west within half a year！”
　　Seeing that Longmei Zhenren’s face was serious and not like joking, Ye Qiu asked, “What exactly is going on？”
　　The Long-browed True Man said, “I have carefully observed Xiao Jiu’s facial features before. There is a very strong imperial spirit between his brows, and he is extremely wealthy and noble.”
　　“If it were in ancient times, with a facial feature like his, he would surely be enfeoffed as a king or made a prime minister.”
　　“Of course, he is doing quite well now. He has been enfeoffed as the Champion Marquis and commands a million troops. In ancient times, he could also be regarded as a great general.”
　　“Logically speaking, a person like him should not have a short life.”
　　“So, I specifically divined a hexagram for Xiao Jiu. The hexagram indicates that Xiao Jiu’s lifespan is seventy-six years.”
Ye Qiu was even more puzzled: “Didn’t you just say that Xiao Jiu is going to die soon?” Why are you now saying that his lifespan is seventy-six years? Isn’t this self-contradictory?”
　　The Long-browed True Man smiled and said, “Don’t worry, just listen to me slowly.”
“Xiao Jiu could originally live to be seventy-six years old. However, he did some things that shortened his lifespan, so God reduced his lifespan by forty years.
　　“The first thing is the Battle of Beigu Pavilion.”
“Xiao Jiu became famous throughout the army because of this battle. However, in this battle, besides the soldiers of the neighboring country, Xiao Jiu also killed seven ordinary people.
These seven common people were living near Beigu Pavilion at that time After hearing the gunshots stop. they were going to come and rescue Xiao Jiu.”
Xiao Jiu was so bloodthirsty at that time that he mistook these seven people for the enemy and killed them.
　　“Because of this matter, his lifespan was reduced by ten years.”
　　Ye Qiu asked, “Why haven’t I heard of this before？”
　　”It’s strange if you can hear it.” said True Man Changmei. “Xiao Jiu is the only survivor of the Beigu Pavilion battle. He killed countless enemies and is a model for the whole army to learn from. If the matter of him killing ordinary people is exposed, how can he still be a hero？”
　　Ye Qiu still didn’t believe it and said, “This is just your one-sided statement. I don’t believe it.”
　　At this time, Ye Wudi said, “True Man Changmei is not lying. This matter is true.”
　　”After the Beigu Pavilion battle ended that year, the northern border reported a top-secret report.”
　　”Only three people have read this report, Old Tang, the Military God, and father. Coincidentally, I was at home at that time and heard father mention it.”
　　”Father said that China needs heroes, and Xiao Jiu’s actions are also heroic. Although he killed a few ordinary people, it is excusable.”
　　True Man Changmei then said, “The second thing is that Xiao Jiu was named the Champion Marquis.”
　　”The title of Champion Marquis is too noble. Without enough luck, he simply cannot bear it.”
　　”The few people who were named Champion Marquis in ancient times were all people with outstanding achievements, but each of them ended up badly.”
　　”Although Xiao Jiu has a life of great wealth and honor, his luck is still not enough, so another ten years of his life were deducted.”
　　True Man Changmei continued, “The third thing is that Xiao Jiu is ungrateful.”
　　”Xiao Jiu’s parents died early and his family was poor. Their brothers were raised by a one-armed old man next door.”
　　“The old man had no descendants, so he adopted Xiao Jiu as his adopted son, sent their brothers to school, and raised them to adulthood.”
　　“Xiao Jiu once swore that when he grew up, he would provide for his adoptive father until his death.”
　　“However, he didn’t do it.”
　　“When his adoptive father was about to die, he asked someone to call Xiao Jiu, hoping to see Xiao Jiu one last time. At that time, Xiao Jiu had just been named Champion Marquis and was going to be enfeoffed in the capital, so he didn’t go back.”
　　“His adoptive father left the world with regret and died with his eyes open.”
　　“A week later, Xiao Jiu was preparing to go back to see his adoptive father. On the way, he learned that his adoptive father had died. Coincidentally, there was an urgent task, so he returned to the North Border.”
　　“This is ungratefulness, and another ten years of his lifespan were deducted.”
　　“Ye Qiu was surprised and didn’t expect such a story about Xiao Jiu.”
　　The Long-browed True Man added, “As for the fourth thing, it is Xiao Jiu’s unfilial act.”
　　“I just said that Xiao Jiu’s parents died early, which caused him to suffer a lot when he was a child. Therefore, Xiao Jiu resented his deceased parents.”
　　“Over the years, he has never sacrificed to his parents.”
　　“One’s body and hair are given by one’s parents. If it weren’t for his parents giving birth to him, how could there be such a person as Xiao Jiu in this world？”
　　“Xiao Jiu doesn’t remember the kindness, and this act is extremely unfilial. Another ten years of his lifespan were deducted.”
　　“After hearing this, Ye Qiu’s mood was a bit complicated.”
　　In his mind, Xiao Jiu is full of heroic spirit from head to toe. Little did he know that Xiao Jiu has so many stains.
　　However, Ye Qiu soon relieved.
　　No gold is completely pure, and no one is perfect.
　　In this world, which person has no shortcomings？
　　The Long-browed True Man sighed and said, “As a person, one must not be unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, or unjust.”
　　“Xiao Jiu’s lifespan is reduced by forty years. Therefore, he can only live up to thirty-six years old at most.”
　　“He was born on the first day of the first lunar month.”
　　“On the first day of the first lunar month next year, Xiao Jiu will be thirty-six years old.”
　　Ye Qiu asked curiously, “Old thing, how did you know these things？”
　　The Long-browed True Man laughed and said, “The secrets of heaven must not be revealed.”
　　Ye Qiu cursed and said, “Pretending to be mysterious.”
　　“Little brat, I’ll tell you one more thing.” The Long-browed True Man said mysteriously, “I divined a hexagram today, and the hexagram indicates that Xiao Jiu will die in your hands.”
　　Ye Qiu didn’t believe it at all and said, “Old thing, I think you’re just talking nonsense！ Xiao Jiu is not my enemy. How could he die in my hands？”
　　The Long-browed True Man looked helpless and said, “Anyway, that’s what the hexagram says.”
I don’t believe your tricks at all. After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he left the Long-browed True Man’s room.
　　Ye Wudi also followed and left.
　　After leaving the room.
　　Ye Qiu asked in a low voice, “Third Uncle, do you believe what the old thing said？”
　　Ye Wudi said, “It’s better to believe it than not.”
　　Ye Qiu nodded slightly. He also thought so, so he said, “Third Uncle, if Xiao Jiu is really dying, then you should make early arrangements here in the Northern Realm to avoid turmoil.”
　　Ye Wudi smiled and said, “Whether there will be turmoil in the Northern Realm is something that Old Tang and the Military God should worry about. It has nothing to do with me.”
　　Ye Qiu immediately retorted, “How can you say it has nothing to do with you? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country.”
　　“Third Uncle, you should make early plans.”
　　“Maybe, you can become the second God of War in the Northern Realm！”
