#93 - Yingzhi's situation

"Clap, clap."

Applause came from a distance, and Ying Zhi's figure appeared.

Ying Zhi looked at Qin Bu Yi with a smile: "Brother Qin, your cultivation has improved rapidly during these years of training."

Qin Bu Yi had long known that Ying Zhi had arrived and was watching the battle in secret when he and Qing Qian were fighting.

Qin Bu Yi said modestly: "Brother Ying Zhi is laughing at me."

Ying Zhi didn't hesitate to praise him: "If I wasn't sure that the aura was indeed Brother Qin, I wouldn't dare to recognize you."

"Annihilating the entire Falling Star Mountain Range with one slash, Brother Qin can be considered a master in my Great Ming Dynasty."

"To welcome Brother Qin's return, I have specially ordered a banquet to be held in the City Lord's Mansion of Qingyang City. Let's go there now and chat while eating."

Qin Bu Yi: "Okay."

The two went to the City Lord's Mansion of Qingyang City. On the way, Qin Bu Yi used his Eye of Exploration to look at Ying Zhi.

Ying Zhi's cultivation realm of the early stage of the Tribulation Realm was revealed in front of Qin Bu Yi.

"Also in the Tribulation Realm." Qin Bu Yi thought to himself.

The two arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The new City Lord of Qingyang City, Huang Yan, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Ying Zhi: "Greetings, Third Prince."

Ying Zhi waved his hand and said, "You may dispense with the formalities."

Huang Yan said respectfully: "Third Prince, the banquet is ready, please come this way."

Ying Zhi looked at Qin Bu Yi and smiled: "Brother Qin, please."

Qin Bu Yi: "Brother Ying Zhi is too polite."

Entering the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Bu Yi and Ying Zhi took their seats.

Huang Yan stood aside, carefully attending to them, and said cautiously to Ying Zhi:

"Third Prince, I have something to report."

Ying Zhi: "City Lord Huang, please speak."

Huang Yan: "Just before the Third Prince arrived, an extremely terrifying black saber light flew over Qingyang City."

"Fortunately, this saber light did not fall within Qingyang City, otherwise Qingyang City would probably be destroyed by at least one-third."

"Third Prince, do you want to send someone to investigate it?"

Ying Zhi explained: "There is no need to investigate. The owner of this saber light is right in front of you."

Huang Yan asked doubtfully: "Could it be that the black saber light was unleashed by His Highness the Third Prince?"

Ying Zhi shook his head and looked at Qin Bu Yi: "This saber light was unleashed by Brother Qin."

Huang Yan was a little surprised, looked at the restrained Qin Bu Yi, and said quickly: "So it was Young Master Qin who unleashed it. Please forgive my poor eyesight."

Qin Bu Yi: "It doesn't matter."

At this time, a soldier from the City Lord's Mansion came to the door, looking at Huang Yan cautiously.

Seeing the soldier's appearance, Huang Yan knew that there must be something he needed to deal with, and said to Qin Bu Yi and Ying Zhi:

"Third Prince, Young Master Qin, please excuse me for a moment."

Ying Zhi: "Go ahead."

After Huang Yan excused himself, Ying Zhi looked Qin Bu Yi up and down.

Qin Bu Yi felt a little nervous from Ying Zhi's gaze, and said, "Brother Ying Zhi, is there something wrong?"

Ying Zhi looked at Qin Bu Yi and said, "I still can't believe it. It's only been a few years."

"Brother Qin has actually broken through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Integration Realm, and his combat power has even repelled the Giant Fox Demon Emperor in the early stage of the Tribulation Realm."

"I'm afraid that if we really fight now, I may not be Brother Qin's opponent."

Qin Bu Yi said: "Brother Ying Zhi is too modest."

Qin Bu Yi felt a strong sense of danger from Ying Zhi. If they really fought, the two would probably have a fifty-fifty chance of winning.

If he really wanted to defeat Ying Zhi, Qin Bu Yi could only wait for his cultivation to improve further.

Ever since Ying Zhi saw Qin Bu Yi's true combat power, he had been in a very comfortable mood. At this time, his face was full of smiles, and he said: "The stronger Brother Qin's cultivation is, the better, haha."

"Come, don't just talk, eat food and drink wine."

After drinking for a few rounds, Ying Zhi's eyes were a little blurred, and he said: "Brother Qin, what are your plans for this return?"

Qin Bu Yi didn't hide anything and said directly: "Thank you, Brother Ying Zhi, for the spirit stones you gave me back then. I have returned this time to help Brother Ying Zhi. If Brother Ying Zhi needs me, please feel free to ask."

Ying Zhi patted Qin Bu Yi on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Brother Qin is loyal and righteous. I didn't misjudge you back then."

"To be honest, Brother Qin, I am in need of manpower right now, especially experts with extraordinary combat power like Brother Qin."

Speaking of this, Ying Zhi sighed faintly: "In recent years, more and more people in the court have supported my eldest brother, and even those forces that had always been neutral have turned to my eldest brother."

"I am the only one among these princes who can pose a threat to my eldest brother. My eldest brother has always regarded me as a thorn in his side."

"If he really inherits the throne this time, I'm afraid the first thing he will do after he ascends the throne is to kill me."

Qin Bu Yi nodded and said, "Brother Ying Zhi, do you have a way to break the situation?"

Ying Zhi drank a glass of wine, looked around, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping outside.

He whispered in Qin Bu Yi's ear: "Of course, there is a way to break the situation."

"My eldest brother is domineering and supported and favored by our father. He is also headstrong and self-willed."

"In contrast to my eldest brother, I have always advocated benevolent governance and never treated my subordinates harshly."

"Many people in the court dare to be angry but dare not speak out against my eldest brother. Although they are obedient to my eldest brother on the surface, their hearts are full of resentment."

"Now, all that is needed is an opportunity to ignite the resentment in these people's hearts. At that time, my eldest brother's power will inevitably be damaged, and I can take the opportunity to absorb these forces."

"To compete with my eldest brother."

Qin Bu Yi asked doubtfully: "Brother Ying Zhi, does the solution you mentioned only allow you to compete with him?"

Ying Zhi's face turned bitter and said: "In earlier years, I could fight my eldest brother to a standstill, but in recent years, the Great Ming Dynasty has been plagued by internal and external troubles."

"In the north, where it borders the Great Qin Dynasty, the war has been raging for several years."

"In recent years, my father has believed that only someone with my eldest brother's personality can control the situation in times of war."

"My father believes that my personality is more suitable for times of prosperity."

"Therefore, with my father's support, fewer and fewer forces in the court have supported me in recent years, and the situation has reached a precarious point."

"If the plan I just mentioned is successfully implemented, it will buy some time to develop and stabilize the situation from my eldest brother."

After listening to what Ying Zhi said, Qin Bu Yi lowered his head and fell into thought.

After a while, Qin Bu Yi raised his head and looked at Ying Zhi and said, "Brother Ying Zhi, if the First Prince is killed, can you control the situation?"

Without thinking, Ying Zhi subconsciously said, "Of course, I can control the situation."

Suddenly, Ying Zhi reacted and looked at Qin Bu Yi in shock and said, "Are you saying..."

As Ying Zhi thought, Qin Bu Yi nodded.

"Impossible, my eldest brother's cultivation has already reached the Great Completion of the Tribulation Realm, and there is even a Mahayana Realm expert protecting him."

"Brother Qin's combat power is indeed extraordinary. Being able to fight against the Tribulation Realm with the Integration Realm is a rare existence in the Great Ming Dynasty."

"But Brother Qin's cultivation is not enough after all. I'm afraid that not only will you not hurt my eldest brother, but you will also put yourself in danger."

"This matter cannot be rushed. I believe that with Brother Qin's talent, you will definitely be able to do it in the future. What we need to do now is to develop in a low-key manner."
