Chapter 21 The Second Prince——Li Chengze.

"Sir, your calculations are indeed very accurate!"

Li Chengze was also surprised. You know, Xie Bian is an eighth-grade master, just one step away from breaking into the ninth-grade realm. He usually protects his swordsman and handles many dirty things for him. His own evaluation of him is "a sword that breaks time."

Normally, it is enough for him to be brought alone when he goes out, which shows how high his martial arts attainments are.

And this Li An could actually hurt him, and he looked so calm and composed. Originally, I thought he was just a strange man with some strange skills, but now I am a little unsure.

As for what Xie Bian said, that he only won with his moves, but his martial arts level was insufficient, Li Chengze didn't take it to heart. Who could believe that the gentleman in front of him really gave his all?
Li An looked calm at the moment, but his words were full of shock: "This third question is worth ten thousand taels of silver!"

We finally got the chance to make some good money, so of course we can't let it go easily.

Li Chengze nodded without commenting.

"Now that I have understood your true talents and knowledge, I can ask you the question I want to ask the most!"

Li An looked into Li Chengze's eyes and waited quietly for what was to come.

Li Chengze calmed down, considered his words, and said, "Will what I'm thinking about finally come true?"

After saying this, he looked at Li Ang with an extremely oppressive gaze, expecting what he would say next.

Li An sighed. Is it inevitable that Li Chengze will ask such a question?
You know, Li Chengze is the second prince, slightly older than the current crown prince, and is the son of Emperor Qing and Concubine Shu. Emperor Qing has hinted that he may inherit the world since he was a child. He is the grindstone cultivated by Emperor Qing to sharpen the crown prince, and secretly helped by the eldest princess, so he has always had the ambition to compete with the crown prince for the world.

However, he had already been blinded by the supreme position and could no longer see other things. Without the awareness of being a whetstone or a chess piece, it was not surprising that he asked this question.

Li An said calmly: "The outcome I calculated is only the most likely future. Even so, Your Highness, do you still want to know?"

Li Chengze nodded and said firmly: "Of course."

"This question is originally worth ten thousand taels of silver, but Xie Bian just attacked me, so I have to pay more!"

It's not that the question itself is not valuable, only worth ten thousand taels of silver, but that it only told him an answer, a possibility, without the specific process.

"How much?" Li Chengze asked. The world didn't know that he had the secret support of the eldest princess Li Yunrui behind him, so he didn't lack money. After all, Li Yunrui controlled the inner treasury, and she had earned a lot of wealth through embezzlement and smuggling over the years.

"A ton of gold!" Li An affirmed.

A thousand taels of gold!

After hearing Li An's words, not only the Second Prince, but even the cold-blooded Xie Bian showed surprise on their faces.

What a big mouth!

"Yes, it can be delivered to your house tomorrow!"

After receiving Li Chengze's affirmative answer, Li An said: "It won't happen!"

Li Chengze frowned and thought, his expression gradually calmed down, but he didn't expect to get a negative answer. Li An watched him thinking about things, but didn't interrupt him, and continued to eat the grapes on the table. Suddenly, he thought to himself that it had been half a day, and the second prince really didn't see him spit out the grape skins when he ate the grapes.

Just when Li An was enjoying his meal, Li Chengze suddenly asked, "Why can't you do what you want?"

Li An shook his head and did not answer. Li Chengze continued, "Then can this answer be changed?" "I've said before, nothing is absolute. If you are willing, you can change it. But I don't know how to change this ending."

Li Chengze finally revealed a look of surprise, which turned extremely ugly: "Sir, you don't know how to change? According to what you said, failure is inevitable?"

Li An was already sweating coldly. Why are you asking so much? Are you a curious baby? How should I answer this question? Should I tell you, don't mess around. You can't beat Emperor Qing. Don't you see how much weight you have?

Stop it, A-Zu, there are only Uncle Longs outside!
If you don't answer this well, you will be in trouble later. Do you want to continue to fool people and make more money?
Li An raised his left hand and began to calculate. After a moment, he decided to give up. He looked up at the scenery outside and said, "The sky outside is vast and there are many beautiful scenery. Your Highness, it's getting late. My next guest is about to arrive."

Hearing Li An's intention to send the guest away, Li Chengze calmed down his anger and had an answer in his heart. He adjusted his bangs and suddenly said, "Then, can the prince get what he wants?" After saying that, he signaled to Xie Bian to let the servant outside come in.

After the servants had cleared the table and slowly left, Li Chengze calmed down and waited for an answer.

Li An was slightly surprised. What did this mean?
"This question, the value... Oh, forget it, I won't talk about this question."

Li An sighed. If he told the second prince that the crown prince would eventually fail and die, he would be able to deduce a lot of things.

"What if I really want to know the answer?"

Facing the second prince's toughness, Li An could only choose to remain silent. If what happened today was spread out and known to Emperor Qing, one could imagine what would happen to him. After all, Emperor Qing, as the emperor, hadn't expressed his opinion yet. How could a mere fortune teller like you decide the fate of the princes? Regardless of whether what he said was accurate or not, he would be killed first and then quickly.

At this moment, Li Chengze laughed and said, "I also know your concerns, but your non-answer made me understand! Although I didn't get an answer from you, it still counts as a question! Tomorrow, I will pay you the divination fee!"

Li An nodded. Since Li Chengze had given a positive answer, he would not break his promise. For a man who was obsessed with the throne, breaking his promise was more serious than anything else.

He also offered an extra reward for one question, which slightly changed Ang Lee's opinion of him.

"In the end, I'll give you an answer for free. If you want to succeed, you should figure out your true opponent. Everyone else is dispensable."

"Thank you very much! Goodbye."

Li Chengze walked to the door and put on his shoes. He wanted to go back and continue thinking about the answer he got today.

Upon seeing this, Xie Bian immediately followed and looked at the fortune teller in front of him with a puzzled look.

"Then I won't see you off."

Li An sat in his seat without moving, thinking that his strength was still too low. If he was at the Grandmaster level, why would he have to hide it like this? What if the news got to the Crown Prince, the Princess, or even Emperor Qing?
After leaving the living room, Li Chengze walked out without looking back, but his cheerful voice slowly spread into the house.

"The matter of recruiting you will always count. If you ever come to your senses, I will welcome you at any time!"

Watching the Second Prince's large army gradually leave and disappear at the courtyard gate, Li An got up and changed the tea, then sat on a chair, picked up a book, and waited silently.

"The content of books in this world is rather empty. I feel like there are not many original thoughts. There are not many well-known institutions in the world. Only the imperial court has the Imperial Academy, which is an official school. Only the Northern Qi has some great scholars."

Li An looked at the book in his hand and felt a little bored.

Not long after the second prince left, the second guest that Li An was waiting for slowly came to the door.
