Chapter 32 Human Heart
"Not quite right."

After entering the city, Lu Sheng and others immediately noticed something was wrong.

"The security of Yuchi Mansion has been lowered." Several staff members of the Prince's Mansion also reacted.

The Yuchi Mansion was heavily guarded before. Even though most of the Northern Navy was withdrawn to confront Li Yu because of his troops, the martial law in the Yuchi Mansion was too lax. Except for a few guards at the door, there was not even a team of patrolling guards on the way into the Yuchi Mansion.

"It's not that we lowered our guard." Long Cheng only needed to close his eyes slightly to hear clearly: "It's that everyone has withdrawn."

He could hear no patrolling footsteps for thousands of meters.

"Withdrawn?" Everyone in the Prince's Mansion was stunned. Lu Sheng frowned and said, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already..."

The Yuchi Mansion has been holding out until now, just waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a comeback. Now that it has come to this, they should not withdraw early, unless the Crown Prince is no longer hopeful.

Thinking of this, they hurriedly quickened their pace, but when they were still ten feet away from the Crown Prince, Long Cheng and Qin Fang both felt the breathing sounds of two people in the East Courtyard where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was.

"Chen Xiao?"

Entering the prince's room, there were only three people in the room: the maid in charge of the charcoal fire, the prince who was bedridden, and the last person was Chen Xiao who was sitting next to the prince.

"General Long is here?" Chen Xiao looked at Long Cheng and quickly stood up and saluted.

Long Cheng frowned slightly. For some reason, he always felt that Chen Xiao looked a little out of place.

"Where are the people from the Yuchi family?" Lu Sheng asked with a frown.

I originally thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was gone and that the Yuchi family had fled, but it was clear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was breathing smoothly and there was nothing wrong with him, so it seemed very strange that no one was from the Yuchi family.

"Something must have happened to the Yuchi family." Chen Xiao sighed, "But they didn't tell me. That's right, to the Yuchi family, I am always an outsider."

Long Cheng and others frowned. Suddenly, he and Qin Fang looked towards the north with disbelief on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Lu Sheng frowned.

"Grandmaster." Long Cheng swallowed.

The last time his Long family produced a grandmaster was three hundred years ago. That ancestor only lived for eighty years after becoming a grandmaster, but he ensured the prosperity of the Long family for two hundred years. The Long family has exhausted all its resources over the past few hundred years, but has not produced another grandmaster. He never expected that a barbarian family in the North Sea would really have such an opportunity?
"Is it Yuchi Peng?" Lu Sheng and others asked hurriedly.

"Not quite." Qin Fang frowned. He had seen Yuchi Peng several times, and this aura did not match Yuchi Peng.
"go!"

Without any hesitation, Long Cheng led the way towards the North Courtyard. The rest of the people hesitated for only a moment before following him.

Soon, the maid, the prince and Chen Xiao were the only ones left in the room.

Seeing the excitement pass in a flash, Chen Xiao was not surprised at all. He slowly walked forward, closed the door, walked to the prince's bed and sat beside him: "Your Highness, drink the soup first."

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear." The prince's face was filled with deep bitterness.

He saw clearly just now that everyone stopped paying attention to him after entering the room and confirming that he was not dead, even the previously loyal Long Cheng.

His father had taught him how to judge people for many years, so how could he not see that these men already had a way out?
"It seems that my third brother has already made a plan." The prince drank the chicken soup that Chen Xiao fed him and looked at him and sighed: "Why don't you try to find a way out like them?"

"Li Yu is a man of bad character. Besides, so many young men from aristocratic families are going there. How much favor can I get if I go there? It's better to take a gamble. What do you think?"

"Sir, that's interesting." The prince smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."

"Your Highness, don't be too pessimistic. In such a desperate situation, a strange man like Lord Zhang suddenly appeared. I think your Highness is not destined to die."

“Is the county magistrate really reliable?”

"Mr. Tianji's predictions are never wrong. If he is the person that Mr. Tianji predicted back then, then His Royal Highness will definitely be able to survive this disaster."

"Okay!" The prince looked at the other party and said seriously: "No matter what you think in your heart, you have not abandoned me at this time. I will recognize you, sir. If I can still ascend to that position, you will be the left prime minister!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Chen Xiao quickly knelt down and bowed deeply.

"Go ahead, sir!" The prince said quietly, "I'll be waiting for your good news!"

"Yes!"

Chen Xiao stood up and when he turned around, the maid from the Yuchi family next to him was so frightened that she dropped the charcoal in her hand to the ground.

The person in front of me was a young and handsome man just now, how come he turned into an old man?
If the people from the Prince's Mansion were here, they would definitely be shocked. How could this be Chen Xiao? It was clearly the Master Tian Ye they had always wanted to take over!

Watching the other person's slow figure, the prince's eyes were full of fatigue. If there was no one else available, why would he use this person?
Tian Ye was the first first-rank sorcerer to join him, so logically he should have been more valued, but in reality, that was not the case. Ever since he became acquainted with this master, he had always been wary of him.

This is a man with a deep mind and a strange background. He was born in an imperial examination system and had no family support. However, he was able to unexpectedly become a sorcerer and reach his current height. Many people only thought that he was good at psychic skills, but in fact, he was good at illusion!
A sorcerer who is good at illusion has been working in the Ministry of Justice for many years, but he never reported to the court. God knows what tricks he used to get to where he is today?

For example, this time, he killed Chen Xiao without hesitation and replaced him. Chen Xiao was his own man after all, but in order to avoid danger, he entered the North Sea with a safer identity and killed him without hesitation.

Such a subordinate is extremely dangerous no matter how you look at it, but now he can only place his last hope on this dangerous man.
-
"This is."

Long Cheng's pace was the fastest. In less than a few breaths, he reached the top of the high wall of the North Courtyard and saw a scene that made his breathing disordered.

The courtyard of the North Court was in a mess as if a hurricane had ravaged it, but it was human power that caused all this. A figure that he couldn't even see clearly was constantly trying to break through the tall man in the center of the storm.

Long Cheng recognized at a glance that the person at the center of the storm was none other than the Yuchi family’s rare genius, the most powerful duke in the military today: Yuchi Peng.

But he immediately became confused. He originally thought that the aura of a grandmaster was caused by Yuchi Peng's breakthrough, but now it seems that is not the case at all. Then who is the one with the power of a grandmaster?
The speed was so fast that it left an afterimage, making it impossible for even a master like Long Cheng to distinguish the opponent. It was hard to imagine that Yuchi Peng could dodge such a speed. At this moment, Yuchi Peng was like a fallen leaf in a hurricane, but no matter how terrible the weather was, it could not do anything to this weak leaf.

"It seems that's the evil possessed person in the intelligence." Qin Fang's voice sounded beside Long Cheng.

"Is it Mr. Luo San?" Long Cheng watched for a full quarter of an hour before he finally recognized the figure.

"That Mr. Luo San who was born with a disability?" Qin Fang was stunned. Could the evil spirit possess a person who was born with a disability and turn him into a master?
The two were shocked at once. The information provided by the painting spirit was incomplete before, and they didn't know why the host was willing to be controlled by the evil spirit. But now it seems that they have found the reason.

Saints or sages, as long as everyone has selfish motives, how could anyone listen to a demon that was simply trying to cause death? It must be a great benefit to lure them with benefits, which is natural!

"So that's how it is." After looking at it for a while, Qin Fang suddenly understood all the causes and effects.

"Killing others can make oneself stronger. Such evil should not exist in the world!" Long Cheng said coldly.

"But who can keep him?" Qin Fang frowned.

With the opponent's speed, let alone the soldiers outside the city, as long as the opponent was determined to escape, neither himself nor Long Cheng could catch up with his shadow.

How terrible is it that an evil spirit with the body of a master? The key is that it can also cause such a terrible plague. How can such a thing exist in this world?

No wonder even the Lord of Painting City couldn't tolerate it and emphasized that it must die here.

"Your Excellency the Duke may not lose."

"General, are you sure?" Qin Fang frowned and looked at the field. In the storm, Master Luo's speed was incredible. His body did not touch anything, but the force he generated was so destructive. There was no doubt that if Yuchi Peng was hit, not even a trace would be left.

"The opponent is very smart," Long Cheng said faintly, "Using speed to cover up the shortcomings of his own martial arts, using strength to break cleverness, and using speed to break the way. It is true that the only martial arts in the world that cannot be broken is speed. But if you can win simply by being fast, then the martial arts in this world are really a joke."

Qin Fang looked over after hearing what he said and indeed discovered that although Yuchi Peng seemed to be in danger, he was able to dodge the opponent at the critical moment every time. Relying on his gracefulness, he was able to predict the opponent's movements in advance every time. So far, he has not been touched once.

If this continues
"The Duke is the martial artist closest to the Grandmaster, and this thing in front of us is his best opponent. What a great opportunity!" Long Cheng said with envy in his eyes.

Qin Fang curled his lips slightly. It's a good opportunity, why don't you take it? If you are sure, you can take this opportunity to realize the truth together. Why are you just standing there and watching?

Still not sure?
"Is that the little girl you were talking about?" Long Cheng suddenly looked at the position opposite Gao Qiang, where there was a person standing who was qualified to watch the fight.

Qin Fang nodded when he heard this: "He is someone close to County Magistrate Zhang. His swordsmanship is first-rate, almost as good as Master Yi."

"Just this one girl?" Long Cheng narrowed his eyes. At this moment, Murong Yunji on the opposite side seemed to have noticed this side as well and glanced over here coldly.

"Interesting." Long Cheng nodded, and then said: "If Yuchi Peng loses, if the three of us attack together, maybe we can keep the monster?"

"That depends on how badly the monster is damaged." Qin Fang said solemnly, "If the Duke can seriously injure it, there might be a chance."

"What if the Duke wins?" Long Cheng asked faintly, "How confident are you that you can stop that little girl?"

"Hmm?" Qin Fang was stunned, then frowned and said, "If that girl wants to attack the Duke, her chances of winning against three people alone should be very low, right?"

"I mean, how confident are you that you can stop her on your own?"

Qin Fang was confused at first, but then he understood what the other party said and looked at him in surprise.

"You are going to attack the Duke?"
