I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 84 I didn't expect it.
What a weird one
He had lived for thousands of years, but he had never seen such a being. She was plain-looking, but she could become so beautiful after putting on makeup. She was eloquent, but she could make the emperor lose his mind just by drinking with him.

So many unreasonable things happened to one person, which made him doubt the authenticity.

Is this guy even a human?
"Many people speculate that you are a descendant of the past generations, but I don't think you are."

"Why?" Zhang Rui looked at the other person curiously.

"I found the place where you were born and your clan. I arrested all the elders and tortured them. They behaved very normally and there was no trace of inheritance at all."

Zhang Rui: “.”

The other party's tone was very indifferent, but the content was extremely chilling. He should have realized long ago what kind of people he was facing, but most of the time, he still felt like he was not in the right state.

If you don't become strong, sooner or later you will be wiped out in this world full of hungry wolves, and your family will be slaughtered at any time.

"You don't seem to care?" The other person looked at him puzzledly.

"Of course I care." Zhang Rui said calmly, "In order to support my studies, my father sold hundreds of acres of fertile land at home. The elders took the opportunity to lower the price. I was thinking that I would have a chance to redeem the land. Now that you have done this, I am afraid I have no chance."

"So everything you said is fake?" the other party frowned.

How could he come to this conclusion?
Zhang Rui frowned but did not refute. The only thing he could do at this time was not to leak any information.

"You have the Four Spirits Techniques in your hands, but I'm curious about what you want to do?" Zhang Rui looked at him, "Kill all the civil and military officials in the court? The world will become an era of chaos among the noble families. If your Hualing clan doesn't have the support of the noble families, it will be a bit difficult to win the world, right? After all, you offended the entire Jiangnan noble family in order to silence them."

Before he came to Beijing, he got a lot of information about the aristocratic families from Yuchi Hong. If we talk about the strength of the aristocratic families in the world, the capital is naturally the first, which enjoys the worship of the national destiny. Each family has worshipped the Yin God for a thousand years. The second is the Jiangnan aristocratic families, which occupy the most prosperous commercial areas of Dajin, control the trade in the world by river transportation, secretly develop beliefs overseas, transport blood and food, and worship their own Yin Gods.

Its strength is not inferior to the thousand-year-old family in Beijing, and it is not conspicuous.

If the noble families in the capital were slaughtered, then the noble families in the south of the Yangtze River would have a chance to replace the Li Dynasty. However, the painting market today no longer has the cohesion that Taizu had in the past, and it is impossible to replicate the splendor of Taizu and raise a group of highly skilled troops.

Without an army or the support of aristocratic families, relying on a group of painting spirits?
"Don't you know everything?" The other party looked at Zhang Rui with a smile: "Why don't you guess it yourself?"

"Then I'll make a guess." Zhang Rui nodded and said, "The spell of bewitching can only work temporarily, so after tonight, you can no longer rely on the emperor to inherit the Four Spirits, unless you can ascend to the throne legitimately."

"But this is probably the most unlikely scenario. The safest way for you to reincarnate into the royal family is to find a very ordinary family background so as not to arouse suspicion. Therefore, among the many princes, you should be the most ordinary one without any family background. In addition, you are still young, so there is no way for you to control the noble family to support you to the throne."

"Even if we exterminate the civil and military officials in the capital, we will become rootless without the support of external forces."

"You know I don't have any external support?" The other party laughed and said, "I have been running the painting market for a thousand years, and have been secretly connected with the Jiangnan families and many military families for so long. Are you sure I can't cultivate external forces?"

"No way." Zhang Rui shook his head. "The example of Taizu back then has made you no longer trust the previous cooperation model. No matter which family you secretly support, he may become the second Taizu and will not let the painting spirits dominate the world. So even if there is cooperation, you will not really rely on any human force."

The other party was stunned, and his eyes became extremely complicated when he looked at Zhang Rui.

How does this guy know me so well?

It seems like this is the first time he sees me?
Even if he was deceived by Taizu, he would never trust humans?
There's something wrong with this guy!
Just as he was about to ask again, Dongmen Qinglong suddenly roared, causing him to frown and look over.

"It's finally here." Zhang Rui sighed.

"How do you know what it is?" Hua Ling looked at Zhang Rui intently.

"The heads of the noble families are all smart people. They won't sit still and wait for death. They don't know the specific situation in the palace, nor do they know that the emperor is controlled by you. So in their guess, all this may be a killing trap set by your majesty. If so, running away is not the best option, because the emperor can use the invasion of the painting spirit as an excuse to put the blame for the slaughter of the noble families on you."

"If I were the head of a noble family, I would never choose to flee. Entering the palace to rescue Jiuqing, or getting the Jiuqing Seal is the best way to protect myself!"

"Okay, okay!" The other party laughed and clapped his hands: "You are really not simple." The smile on his face suddenly turned cold: "But you shouldn't put yourself in danger!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge snake head poked its head out from outside the imperial study. The queen was so frightened that her face turned pale and her feet went weak, but she was supported by Zhang Rui.
Zhang Rui looked up and saw that behind the huge snake head was an extremely large turtle shell. The unique icy aura of Xuanwu also made the entire imperial study begin to condense visibly.

"If you don't resist, I'll spare your life. After what happens tonight, we'll talk slowly. If you make any moves, don't blame me."

No matter where this person in front of him comes from, he can never be a match for the Four Spirits. In an era when immortals and Buddhas are extinct, the Four Spirits Yin Gods who have enjoyed a thousand years of national fortune are the pinnacle of the world!

"You are too conceited." Zhang Rui looked at the other person and said.

"Really?" The other party also looked at Zhang Rui. Although he didn't think that the other party could turn the tables, he was still vigilant.

The other party dared to come here alone, he must have a trump card, but when he entered the palace, it was impossible for him to carry the Yin God with him, otherwise he could not have entered the Qinglong Gate. Theoretically, there is no loophole in my game.

"You put the emperor in the scroll, so he could actually control the Four Spirits Spell, but you didn't, and you brought him out on purpose to show off." Zhang Rui laughed, "You always mock people's bad nature. It seems that after thousands of years of getting along with people, you seem to have learned a lot of people's shortcomings."

Hua Ling was startled when she heard this, and just as she was about to make a move, a bright sword light appeared out of nowhere. It was so fast that it pierced the controlled emperor before Xuanwu could look fiercely.

who? ?

But he was already a step too late to react. The emperor, who was originally completely controlled by the bewitching technique, began to loosen up, and the Black Tortoise above also became confused.

It seemed that he didn't know what to do for a moment, and the emperor, who was originally like a puppet, began to have color in his eyes, and he was obviously struggling!

The "Shenque Point" painting spirit gritted his teeth and said, "Not only do you know how to confuse souls, but you also know how to break it?"

"I know a little bit." Zhang Rui said faintly.

Deep down, he felt relieved and looked at Murong Yunji who had made the move.

My teammates are really reliable!
Ever since the Shen family girl said that her whole family was missing, he knew that Murong Yunji must be looking for an opportunity. Sure enough, he soon found the traces she had left secretly and followed them all the way to the imperial study.

If she could find this place, she must have been lurking around, waiting for the right time to strike. Although that girl appears dull on weekdays, she is, after all, an experienced old swordsman, and she knows exactly when to strike.

The art of bewitching is an ancient secret to today's aristocratic families, but not to her. It was a very tricky method from the world in her scrapped manuscript.

It can only control one person, and it takes a lot of mental effort, and it also requires many prerequisites, and the spiritual power must be far greater than the other party. This kind of thing is completely useless in the battle between practitioners themselves, except for a few monsters who want to control the wealth of the world. It is a common commodity.

She must know very well how to crack it.

"Unfortunately, there are still some things you don't know." Hua Ling said faintly.

Zhang Rui frowned, and when he turned around, he understood. He saw Murong Yunji holding the hilt of the sword with a serious expression. Although the sword had pierced the emperor's belly button, she did not move.

The emperor's face was struggling and his body was stiff, and he seemed unable to wake up immediately.

"What's going on?" the queen next to Zhang Rui asked cautiously.

"Our Majesty is actually a master!" Zhang Rui reacted immediately.

Murong Yunji's sword was obviously stuck. The navel is a very vulnerable part of the human body, but the emperor was able to use his muscles to block the sword of a sword immortal!
Although Murong Yunji's current strength is less than one percent of what it used to be, ever since she took action, even Yuchi Peng dared not underestimate her. And there is only one possibility for the emperor to be able to do this unconsciously by relying on his body's instincts. The number one master under the Grandmaster has never been Yuchi Peng, but this emperor with a moderate policy!
"I didn't expect that at first," Hua Ling smiled slightly, "I almost fell into his trap, but I didn't expect that a blessing in disguise could turn the situation around."

Zhang Rui looked at Murong after hearing this. Murong shook his head slightly: "We can't abandon the sword, otherwise once the Shenque acupoint is loosened, he will be controlled again immediately. That guy doesn't even need the Four Spirits Technique, he can kill us just by controlling the emperor."

"I see." Zhang Rui smiled and turned back to look at the other person: "So, now you can't move either, right?"

He just said that the emperor was resolute, but he suddenly weakened and was taken advantage of by him. Now that the Shenque point has been pierced, there are obvious signs of recovery. If he can continue to suppress the emperor, he must have used all his spiritual power. If he is not careful at this time, the emperor will break free from his control and be killed instantly by the Four Spirits, and it will be him!
"It won't be long." The other person said faintly, and the whole person disappeared from the spot.
