Chapter 24 Threats.

Ignoring the expression of Crown Prince Li Chengqian, Li An spoke to himself, as if speaking to himself: "No matter who comes to me for advice or fortune-telling, as long as they can afford the money, I will give an accurate answer based on the size of the question they ask, but it is limited to the answer itself."

Li An reminded Li Chengqian: "As for the specific process, I won't tell you, let alone the struggle for imperial power."

Li Chengqian also knew that he was anxious, but he was dissatisfied with the man's tone, frowned and said: "It's my fault, please don't blame me. But you know, my second brother is not a good person! He has great ambitions, his mind is unpredictable, and he is tyrannical! If such a person is allowed to sit in that position, my death is a small matter, but what about the people of this world? What about the Qing Kingdom?"

Come on, you're not as good as him!
"Your Highness, you are worrying too much!" He didn't even mention whether he would help him or not, but just pretended to respond.

Li Chengqian sighed and put on a full show. He pretended to be worried and asked, "Sir, are you really so cruel that you won't help me?"

Li An was too lazy to answer. He did not grow up in this era. He was not the kind of person who would rush to join you and be loyal to you just by showing you a few tricks.

Looking at the prince who was as sticky as taffy, I felt helpless. He had said soft words and harsh words, but he still wanted to keep pestering him. Wasn't that a sign of persistence?

"I just don't want to be drawn into the vortex of the struggle for imperial power. I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will understand."

Seeing that Li An still refused to agree, Li Chengqian asked, "Sir, have you become the disciple of the Second Emperor?"

"No, the second prince also tried to recruit me, but I didn't agree." Li An replied truthfully.

"Then sir, do you know that if you take this stance of not helping either side, no matter whether it is me or your second brother who sits on that position, your fate will not be good?" Li Chengqian's tone gradually became harder. When he failed to recruit him, he resorted to forcing.

Oh, huh? You actually dare to threaten me! I'm not a minister with a family to support, and I have to stand on your side. If you piss me off, I'll turn around and join the Northern Qi. When I grow up, I'll let you know what terror is!
Li An stared at Li Chengqian's neck, considering from which angle to attack, so that the neck would not bleed too much.

Li Chengqian was frightened by Li An's weird eyes. He felt a chill on his back and suddenly shuddered.

He secretly thought that something bad had happened. He shouldn't have entered this yard alone just to show his sincerity.

I asked stubbornly, "What do you think, sir?"

"Your Highness, I am just an ordinary citizen. I don't have the great ability that Your Highness said. Please choose someone else who is more capable!"

Li Chengqian replied: "Sir, your ability is not something that an ordinary person can possess." After thinking about it, he decided that since this was their first meeting, it might not be the right time yet and he should not push too hard: "Then can my fate still be changed?"

Has anyone ever told you that you seem very awkward when changing the subject?

"Everything depends on human effort, Your Highness."

At this time, a slight smile appeared on Li Chengqian's face.

Yes, no ending is predetermined. I will not be willing to die at the hands of Li Chengze. I must strengthen my own strength and change the so-called fate in Li An's mouth!

Li Chengqian smiled after thinking it through and said, "I have gained a lot in Wanshizhai today. It is really worth the trip! It has been a while since I came out. It is time to return to the palace."

Li An bowed slightly: "Your Highness, I am glad that you have gained something! If possible, please spread the news for me so that I can become famous in Kyoto."

"Of course. The divination fee will be delivered tomorrow. No need to send it to me, sir. I will leave now. Hahaha!" Li Chengqian said as if pretending to be bold and unrestrained. He laughed a few times, stood up from his seat and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Your Highness, please wait. I will take you there."

Li Chengqian walked out of the yard and ordered the servants: "Return to the palace!"

Then someone came and brought the carriage, carried up the stairs, and let the prince get on the carriage.

After that, the carriage slowly moved forward, gradually driving out of the block where Wanshizhai was located. After seeing that his team was already some distance away from the yard, Li Chengqian took a few deep breaths and slowly relaxed.

Just now, for a moment, Li Chengqian really thought that he would die, die in this courtyard called "Wanshizhai"!

"How dare you! You actually have evil intentions towards me. Later, I will definitely let you know what I am doing. Li! An!" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth. Where was the warm expression he had at the beginning?
Li An watched the carriage go away and sneered. It's up to you. No matter if you pretend to be like this or if you really have a ravine in your heart, you can't even see your enemy clearly. How can you struggle if you find a crazy woman as your teammate? Go to bed quickly.

He shook his head and turned back to his own courtyard, waiting for the third guest to arrive.

Time passed slowly, but until the sun was about to set, no one came to the door.

"Did I make a mistake in my divination?" Li An asked curiously. He put down the book in his hand, straightened his back and stretched.

Seeing that it was getting late, I was about to go out and find a stall to have dinner, when someone finally came to the door.

"Brother Li, I'm here. Didn't you expect that?" Fan Xian raised the two packets of oil paper in his hand, indicating that I brought your dinner.

"Look, the tea on the table has been replaced several times. If you don't come, I'm really going out."

Li An gestured to the tea on the table. Fan Xian's face was full of surprise. He looked at Li An with the words "Are you sure?" almost written on his face.

Fan Xian walked into the room and sat down, spreading out his things before asking with a smile, "Do you have any wine?" He was here to get something for free, so he had to be polite.

"Of course there's no wine." Li An was also puzzled. It was really late at this time. Could it be that the third guest was really Fan Xian? The more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. He quickly counted on his fingers.

Fan Xian smiled. He knew Li An's ability in Danzhou, and knew that he had many rules, but as long as they were followed, the answers were very accurate. Sometimes the answers were vague, just metaphors, and it might take some time to figure it out.

However, it is rare to see Li An fortune-telling in person nowadays, and he usually gives the answer directly.

After a moment, Li An came to a conclusion and took the teacup from Fan Xian's hand: "No, you are not the third guest I am waiting for. How about you leave first?"

"Are you kidding me? I just arrived, and you won't even let me have a glass of water? I even brought you half a roast chicken and some stewed vegetables!" Fan Xian muttered, looking particularly sad. He came here for free this time, but he never expected that you, Li An, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually give me a free meal? But he still put down the water cup and stood up.

"Okay, I know you have something to do, so I'll go back first. Do you have time tomorrow? Can I invite you to the restaurant for a meal?" Fan Xian then explained his purpose.

Li An naturally knew what was going on, because Fan Xian had never taken the initiative to invite anyone to dinner. He was the typical person who would not visit anyone unless there was something important to do, and would only ask for help when there was something to ask. He immediately joked, "You're treating?"

Fan Xian said with an unnatural look, "Hi! My brother from the Fan Mansion in Kyoto is treating us. I didn't think about it. I don't know anyone in Kyoto, so I wanted you to come along."

Li An nodded to show that he understood, but still rejected him: "I won't go this time, you can have a family gathering by yourselves, I'll treat you next time."

"No, I want to ask you for help with something." Fan Xian said anxiously.

Li An glanced at Fan Xian. "I see you're living quite well in the Fan Mansion. We've only been in Kyoto for a few days. How come you're in trouble again?"

"Just make do with it." Fan Xian emphasized, "It's really not me who caused the trouble. It's the trouble that found me. You must come tomorrow. I'll have my servants pick you up then."

Li An knew that Fan Xian would be involved in a small trouble tomorrow, and then he would be invited to attend the poetry meeting of Prince Jing. After thinking about the pros and cons, this was not in line with my ideal of making money. I could eat, but I couldn't go to the poetry meeting.

Then he agreed: "You can eat, but if there is anything else you have to do it yourself!"

Fan Xian’s face is full of question marks?
What? Can a bomb come out of your meal?
