I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 33 I Believe in Mr. Zhang
"You want to take action against the Duke?"

Qin Fang was very confused. He didn't quite understand the other party's motives. Joining the Third Prince provided another option, but it didn't mean giving up on the Crown Prince completely. If Duke Yuchi Peng really won by chance, then wouldn't all the crises of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be resolved?
All epidemics are caused by that evil spirit. Once the evil spirit dies, the epidemics will most likely disappear, the prince will survive, the Yuchi family will survive, and all crises will be resolved.

The Long family has long been regarded as a staunch supporter of the prince in the eyes of everyone in the capital, and was also the military family designated by His Majesty to form the inner city team for the prince. If Yuchi Peng lost, Long Cheng could consider a way out, but if Yuchi Peng won, why would he still take action against Yuchi Peng?

Wouldn't the position of the crown prince be more secure with a master? Even if there is the stain of sacrificing the whole city, now that the evil spirit has been eliminated, it can be blamed on the evil spirit, right? It is said that in order to eliminate the terrible evil spirit, the sorcerer of the crown prince's mansion used forbidden magic, and in the end it was the Duke who fought with his life and finally won the evil spirit that threatened the fate of the country.

Although such a statement will certainly be doubted by the world, His Majesty's preference for the Crown Prince will make him protect him to the end. Coupled with the full support of the master-level Yuchi Peng, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position may be more stable than before. In this case, if he does not immediately return to the Crown Prince's command and instead takes action against Yuchi Peng, is he crazy?

"It seems that you don't know." Long Cheng looked at Qin Fang in surprise.

Qin Fang was stunned. What does that mean?
"I thought that since you have taken refuge with that person in the palace, you would know some of this crucial information, but it seems that you don't."

Qin Fang's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean?"

"There can only be six grandmasters in this world!" Long Cheng said lightly and did not continue.

Qin Fang was shocked when he heard this.

He seemed to have heard his master say this.

There are numerous sects in the martial arts world, but there have only been five grandmasters in the world. No matter how the tide rises or falls, it seems that the same has never changed. The master once said that if he stayed in the sect, he would never become a grandmaster, because the sect did not have that position. As long as there is no such position, no matter how powerful you are or how high your qualifications are, you will not be able to become a grandmaster.

At that time he wanted to ask why, but the master just stopped talking about this topic and didn't say anything more. He always thought that it was because the master wanted to leave the opportunity to become a master to his only son Chen Xiao.

But I never expected that these words would come out of the mouth of the only child of the Long family again.

There can only be six grandmasters in the world?
why?
What is this rule?
What happens if there are more than six digits?
"If you help me this time, I will tell you." Long Cheng looked at the other party seriously and said, "If you have the chance in the future, I will also help you, how about it?"

Qin Fang's breathing became a little rapid. He had a feeling that this information would be very important.
"Just blocking the girl?"

"Yes!" Long Cheng nodded: "Just block that girl, you don't need to take action on Yuchi Peng's side!"

"Okay." Qin Fang took a long breath and said, "I hope General Long will keep his promise when the time comes!"

The girl was a pure swordsman. It was actually very troublesome to stop such a person. People who devoted themselves to sword training were usually very extreme, and extreme people always had extraordinary explosive power. He had seen many swordsmanship masters defeat warriors of the same level in just one round, but he had also seen some who were beaten to pieces by others in just one round.

If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't like fighting with such a person, but he couldn't refuse what Long Cheng threw at him. He always felt that without this information, he might never reach the Grandmaster level in his lifetime.

The two men reached an agreement in a moment, but the fight below lasted for an extremely long time, from dawn to noon, and from noon to midnight. The onlookers spent most of their energy just to see the game clearly, but the two men in the yard didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

It is hard to imagine that a warrior who is seriously ill can actually survive for a whole day and a night facing the legendary master!
The most boring one among them was Zhang Rui. He had no qualifications to climb on the wall. In fact, it was useless even if he climbed on the wall. With his current eyesight, he could not see anyone's movements at all. But no one cooked for a whole day and a night, which was really a death sentence. However, he felt the serious atmosphere and was embarrassed to ask when the meal would be prepared.

He was starving and freezing cold, but he didn't dare to walk around. Without Murong Yunji's protection, Zhang Rui didn't feel it was safe outside.

Finally, someone from the Prince's Mansion outside came running in and reported a very serious topic.

"General, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has led his troops to the gate of the city wall and said that the time agreed with you has arrived!"

But the person who reported the news discovered the next moment that no matter who was in the North Courtyard, they all seemed to have no interest in the news.
Before, Yuchi Hong tried so hard to stop Li Yu from entering the city, but now after hearing the news, he didn't even bother to look back at himself while standing on the wall.

"Sir?" The aide looked at Lu Sheng and others who had arrived from behind.

"Go and delay it for a while." Lu Sheng also didn't even turn his head back.

The man was stunned. What was going on?
"Try to delay it as much as possible. If you can't delay it, let him in. On the grounds of the epidemic, it's best to keep him away if you want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Sheng added another sentence.

"This..." The staff didn't know what to say for a moment. They always felt that this group of people were so casual.

But in fact, this is the case. Both Yuchi Hong and Lu Sheng and others know that the outcome of this battle is more important than anything else. If Yuchi Peng wins, as members of the Prince's Party, they will have survived this round, and the Yuchi family will rise to a new level.

And if they lose, the Third Prince will come in to help clean up the mess. That monster that can create the plague has the power of a master, and no one can stop it. Its escape may cause more turmoil in the dynasty than if anything happened to the Crown Prince.

"The sword is out!"

Murong Yunji suddenly spoke, and everyone's nerves immediately tensed up. Although their nerves had been tense for a long time, it was obviously reaching a climax at this moment. Yuchi Peng had been avoiding for a day and a night, and finally took the initiative to attack!
This time, it means.
"Just a little more!" Long Cheng's pupils shrank, and he tried hard to suppress the urge to take action.

In the North Courtyard, countless afterimages dissipated. The black shadow that had always eluded the eyes of many masters finally stopped and silently glanced at its chest.

The sword wound was not deep, just a scratch on the surface, but...the opponent was able to hurt him!
At this point, am I not as good as him? Master Luo San was trembling all over, the black in his pupils continued to expand, and an extremely cold aura continued to brew, causing the already cold temperature to drop again.

"God is so kind to you." Mr. Luo San spoke each word with great hatred.

Yuchi Peng looked at the other party with extremely complicated feelings. He never expected that his comrade in his heart hated him to this extent.

"I paid such a price, hundreds of thousands of lives, but I'm still not as good as the natural talent of a child from an aristocratic family?" Mr. Luo's voice was extremely sad at the end: "Is the way of heaven so unfair?"

"Heaven is unfair?" Yuchi Peng panted and sneered: "You lament the injustice, but how can you call for justice when hundreds of thousands of innocent people died?"

"It's as if your Yuchi family didn't agree to the decision to ban the technique." Mr. Luo sneered when he heard it: "What's the difference between you and me? You didn't take the initiative to do such a thing just because you were born with many things. When you were about to lose everything, facing the hundreds of thousands of lives you mentioned, did you ever hesitate at all?"

Yuchi Peng: “.”

"Why pretend to be sheep if you are all wolves? You. Those people outside, which one of you is different?"

Under the wall, Zhang Rui heard these words with a puzzled look in his eyes. Sometimes, people are really no different from evil spirits. If one day he has the power to dominate the lives of millions of people, will he become like the jackals around him?

"Senior." The person standing next to Murong Yunji at this time was Chen Xiao, who arrived last. Seeing that the two had finally stopped, Chen Xiao whispered a question that he was most concerned about: "Do you think the Duke can win?"

"The hope is slim." Murong Yunji said lightly.

"Why?" Chen Xiao was curious: "Hasn't the Duke been able to hurt it?"

"If he were in his prime, he might have a 70% chance of winning." Murong Yunji looked at the Duke who was full of vigor and said coldly, "His physical strength has reached its limit. He only has one chance to strike with one sword. The previous sword was his last test. If he cannot win with the next sword, he will be exhausted and wait for death."

"Oh?" Chen Xiao pursed his lips after hearing this: "I see."

"Why are you still standing there?" Lu Sheng glared at the aide who was still standing there in a daze: "Go quickly."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The man quickly saluted and prepared to leave.

"Hey, wait a moment, sir."

"Huh?" The staff turned around and looked at the only person who couldn't climb the city wall.

"Master Zhang? Do you have any advice?"

This mysterious county magistrate is the person that His Royal Highness the Third Prince has instructed us to pay the most attention to.

"Um... Ahem... Please tell the servants to bring me a meal when you go out, thank you."

Staff: “.”

"coming!"

The people on the city wall were in no mood to pay attention to the county magistrate who ruined the atmosphere, because the last moment climax was about to begin!

This time it was Yuchi Peng who took the initiative to attack. No one expected that the head of the Yuchi family was famous for his Youlong Spear, and his swordsmanship was also so powerful. A cold light flashed, and even Long Cheng could not see clearly how he made the move. The sword light that cut through the darkness covered the world in everyone's eyes.

At that moment, even Lu Sheng, who didn't know martial arts, could feel that Yuchi Peng had taken that step.

Finally, there is one more Grand Master in the world!
Everyone was attracted by the sword, except Zhang Rui under the wall, who sighed slightly and recalled the last conversation with the Duke in his mind.

"Master Zhang, if I can't do it, can you..."

“I’ll take care of it.”

"But if I don't succeed"

"Don't worry, whether you succeed or not, I will solve it. With that said, can Your Excellency the Duke be relieved?"

"Okay, I believe in Master Zhang!"
