I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 36 Promotion?

The situation was quickly determined. Master Luo was bewitched by the evil spirit and slaughtered all the people in Beihai City. For the sake of the people of the world, the people in the Prince's Mansion and the Yuchi family had to use forbidden techniques to fight back. General Yuchi Peng and most of the Yuchi family's sons and daughters died in the battle, but they finally managed to destroy the evil spirit.

Master Tianye had bad intentions and even wanted to kidnap the prince to seize the evil spirit. Fortunately, Magistrate Zhang of Fuchuan County saw through his plan and everyone killed the evil sorcerer with evil intentions. The Beihai incident came to an end.——
"Is that what the prince said?"

When Qin Fang reported to the third prince Li Yu, Li Yu couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the prince's last words.

"Your Highness, do you think something is wrong?" Qin Fang frowned.

"Hahaha." Li Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I thought that my brother always pretended to be so kind and modest. It must be that my father had given birth to a wrong child. Now it seems that's not the case."

Qin Fang: “.”

"If Tian Ye really came from the Ouyang family, why would he plot against any evil spirits? Isn't there enough evil spirits in his Ouyang family?"

Qin Fang sighed when he heard this. He had been in the palace for many years and had some understanding of the sorcerer family. Once you worship a Yin God, it is not so easy to get rid of it. How grand was the Ouyang family in the past? There were countless Yin Gods worshipped. Now it has been declining for a thousand years. I don’t know how much it cost to get rid of those Yin Gods in the past. If you want to provoke another one, I’m afraid it’s too much.

In fact, many people could see that Tian Ye was the one that the prince had defected to, but in the end the plan failed and he was sold out by the prince.

"My brother, the crown prince, is really bold." Li Yu stroked his chin, "He dared to do something that even Master Taizu didn't dare to do. I didn't realize he was so courageous before."

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do?" Li Yu stretched lazily. "I'll just go home. I came here to try my luck. It seems my brother's luck is not over yet. I still have some time to try."

"Your Highness, aren't you disappointed?" Qin Fang asked curiously.

"Not disappointed." Li Yu smiled. "I thought there was no chance before, but now I don't think so. There is such a person among my brothers. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so ambitious. And there is also the mysterious Lord Zhang. The capital will be lively in the future. Oh, by the way, are you sure it was the little girl who broke the magic with the sword in the end?"

"Yes!" Qin Fang said solemnly: "Maybe we all saw it wrong. That little girl is not a pure warrior. We just don't know what kind of magic she uses."

"Interesting." Li Yu said with a smile: "He is from a hidden family, but he actually ruined the prince's great fortune and was unwilling to surrender to me. What on earth was he thinking?"

"I don't know about that." Qin Fang shook his head.

This Lord Zhang is really the person he cannot understand the most.

"Since we don't know, let's wait and see!" Li Yu stood up and said, "Let's go home and watch the fun again when we get back to Beijing!"

"Your Highness, do you think that Mr. Zhang can enter the capital? If he offends the Crown Prince, he should be deliberately suppressed, right?"

"Haha." Li Yu laughed immediately and said, "You overestimate my brother's magnanimity. How can he let such a good thing go when it's ruined? But suppressing him won't relieve his hatred. If I'm right, he will not only not suppress me, but will also recommend me to my father. Just wait and see. Mr. Zhang will definitely come to the capital after the new year at the latest!"

Qin Fang: “.”
-
"The mysterious county magistrate?" On another ship in the North Sea, the female Painted Skin who had gone to negotiate with Li Yu before was half-kneeling on the bow, reporting the whole story.

"Yes, I didn't expect that such a person would hide in this small Fuchun County. He could not only lead Li Yu and the others to escape from the Painting City, but also get rid of the monster in Beihai City!"

"Interesting." The prince rubbed his white and tender fingers in the darkness, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "A child of a hidden family actually offended the prince as soon as he arrived. There are so many children of hidden families who want to make a name for themselves in the capital, and this is the first time I have seen him start like this."

"It's indeed a little unusual." Hua Ling also laughed and said, "Is he a fool?"

"It's a bit scary that a fool can do this." The prince smiled coldly: "But I'm afraid this capital will be lively in the future."

"My Lord, now that the prince has escaped a disaster, he must be on his guard. It will be difficult to find such an opportunity again in the future. Do you want to go on the road?"

"No need." The prince shook his head slightly: "He will reveal his flaws, we don't need to rush to take action."

"Will I reveal my flaws?" Hua Ling wondered.

"Why do you think he suddenly became so bold that he actually wanted to worship evil spirits and break the rules of the world's aristocratic families?"

"Uh" Hua Ling was stunned: "Isn't it because of excessive ambition?"

"He?" The prince laughed. "I have watched him grow up for thirty years. How could I not know his character? He is just a king who maintains the status quo. If he had not encountered such an incident, he would never do anything out of the ordinary in his life. The emperor protects him too well. How could a child as young as a flower suddenly develop the ambition to subvert the world?"

"That is."

"If I'm right, there must be something wrong with me."

"Oh?" Hua Ling was stunned, then immediately realized, "That's right. Although the evil spirit is dead now, the damage to the prince's body is irreversible. The prince died once, and was resurrected by forbidden magic, and was infected with the disease again. His life span will be greatly reduced!"

"He wants to use that evil spirit to restore his body's vitality!" After Hua Ling figured it out, she immediately bowed and said admiringly: "The master is still very insightful."

The evil spirit could make a man like Mr. Luo Sanye, who was born with disabilities, become a master, so it must have the ability to restore vitality. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a very weak body now, so this bullshit about breaking the rules of the world is fake, and the real thing is to want to live longer!
"Let's go." The prince waved his hand. "Since the monster is gone, there is no need for us to stay here. Let's go back to the capital and see how this dying cat struggles."

"Yes, my lord!"
-
Yuchi Mansion.
"Thank you sir!!"

Yuchi Hong brought Zhong Yu with him and as soon as they entered Zhang Rui's room, they knelt on their knees and bowed deeply.

"Generals, you can't do that!" Zhang Rui hurried forward and helped the two men up: "How can you perform such a great ceremony?"

"Zhong Yu told me everything." Yuchi Hong's eyes were red. "It was you who discussed it with my father and resolved the crisis for the Yuchi family!"

"I, Zhang, didn't actually do anything." Zhang Rui sighed, "If it weren't for Lord Yuchi Peng's final breakthrough, no one here would have been able to stop him. Lord Guogong fought to the death and saved the people of the world!"

“But if it weren’t for you, my father would have died in vain!” Yuchi Hong’s face was gloomy.

If the monster was taken away by the prince, the Yuchi family would have to take the blame and would inevitably have to flee overseas. If it weren't for the man in front of them who stopped Master Tian and put an end to the prince's ambition, everything would have been in vain.

"I have promised the Duke, so I will do my best to fulfill it. General, there is no need to be so polite."

Zhong Yu looked at the other person with a complicated expression. He remembered the last conversation between this gentleman and the Duke.

He once told the Duke that no matter whether the Duke succeeded or not, he would solve the remaining problems. At first, he felt that the Duke trusted him too much. How could he trust such a young man of unknown origin with such arrogant words?
But now it seems that the other party has not let the Duke down.

He would rather offend the prince and solve the last trouble.

Such a kindness is tantamount to a rebirth for the Yuchi family!
"Sir, if you need the help of the Yuchi family in the future, please let me know!" Yuchi Hong promised solemnly, "I will never refuse!"

"Okay," Zhang Rui replied directly without being polite.

Yuchi Hong was stunned at first when he heard such a straightforward answer from the other party, and then he grinned. He liked people like this. The fussy politeness made people feel hypocritical.

"What are your plans for the future, sir?" Yuchi Hong asked curiously after standing up.

"Let's stay in the north for now." Zhang Rui said with a smile, "With your Yuchi family taking care of me, I should be able to live a comfortable life in the north."

"Uh" Upon hearing this, Yuchi Hong and Zhong Yu looked at each other strangely.

"Did something happen?" Zhang Rui had a bad feeling in his heart.

"This..." Yuchi Hong smiled bitterly, "Sir, you may not know yet, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a message back to the capital yesterday, reporting the incident and praising your contribution and loyalty in this matter. According to the gossip I received, His Majesty instructed the officials of the Ministry of Personnel to appoint a new position for you yesterday afternoon. I'm afraid you will have to go to the capital to take up your post after the New Year."

“Huh?” Zhang Rui was stunned. He had offended the prince so badly that he thought he would have to stay in the north for the rest of his life. He didn’t expect that he could be promoted?

"Sir." Yuchi Hong hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks gentle and kind, he is actually narrow-minded and vindictive. Now I'm afraid he hates you. Sir, please be very careful when you arrive in Beijing."

Zhang Rui: “.”

"Of course, if you are willing, you can resign. My Yuchi family has many locations in the North Sea and other countries. If you go overseas, my Yuchi family will do our best to support your family. As long as you say the word, we will arrange it immediately."

"Well, that's not necessary for now." Zhang Rui immediately covered his head. Going overseas? It's not impossible, but what kind of family do I have that needs support from the other party? If the Yuchi family knew that there was no power behind me, they might not be as easy to talk to as they are now.

You know, this family is ruthless people who are willing to massacre an entire city at will.

"I'm a little curious. General, do you know what position I've been assigned?"

"It is said that," General Yuchi lowered his voice and said, "The position of Dali Temple Chief is a very dangerous position. Sir, please be careful."

"Ah?" Zhang Rui was stunned: "The Dali Temple is not one of the three courts, how can it be dangerous?"

General Yuchi frowned slightly at Zhang Rui's appearance, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still patiently explained: "Sir, you don't know the situation in the capital at all. It seems that your family has been too reclusive before. Among all the departments in the capital, the Dali Temple has always been the most dangerous place."
