Chapter 548 Blurred
"Mo Tiansheng!"

Seeing Li Xuan's puzzled expression, Zhao Feng repeated it again.

"Ah Xuan, you were not quiet on the way back."

When Li Xuan heard this, he immediately glared with an expression that said, "It's unfair!"

"Don't rush to deny it. Listen to me."

Zhao Feng interrupted Li Xuan's attempt to scream and continued:
"We heard an interesting rumor on the way back."

"It is said that a mysterious hero appeared in the north. He was a hero who fought for justice and helped the weak. He did not leave his name. Some people were not even seen before being rescued."

"That's not all. Similar incidents occurred all over the north in less than a day."

"Only a few people saw a black lightning appear at the scene, and those bad guys were killed or unconscious."

"This kind of deeds is what people in the martial arts world love the most. Soon someone gave this hero a nickname."

"Mo Tiansheng!"

Zhao Feng paused when he got to this point, and looked at Li Xuan's expression. He found that he was not as wronged as before.

He then went on to explain the origin of the nickname.

"Mo means black."

"Some people also use the homonym 'mo' to describe the deeds of this hero who never left his name behind."

"As for the voice of heaven, it is simple. It means thunder and lightning."

"The martial arts world respects this hero, Mo Tiansheng, as the black thunder that executes justice on behalf of the heavens. He specializes in punishing evildoers and saving the world from danger."

Li Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect that when he returned to Beijing, he had only been traveling around for less than a day, but he had already made such a great reputation.

But this nickname puts him too high a level.

He was just doing things as he pleased at the time, so he didn't think too much about it.

But the impact it left behind seems to be not small at all.

"Ah Xuan, do you want to accept the title of Master Mo?"

Zhao Feng asked with a smile.

Shang Zongguan and Wei Zhen at the side also laughed. They didn't expect that Li Xuan went out and got himself a new title.

"Of course, Mr. Mo's fame is currently limited to the north, and he is still far from being world-famous."

"If you don't like it, then don't acknowledge it."

"I'll have the Ministry of Internal Affairs issue a rumor refutation, saying that there is absolutely no such person in the martial arts world, and that the incident is purely a rumor. Anyone who spreads this rumor again will be severely punished!"

Zhao Feng deliberately did something bad, which made Li Xuan so anxious that he screamed.

"They call me Master Mo!"

"How can you say they are spreading rumors!"

Li Xuan slapped his tail angrily, defending these enthusiastic and kind people in the martial arts world.

No matter who spread the name and deeds of Mo Tiansheng, Li Xuan was quite satisfied with this name.

It just so happens that he might need an identity when traveling around the world in the future, and this Mo Tiansheng, the hero Mo, is very suitable.

Seeing that Li Xuan was very satisfied with the nickname and looked very happy, the three old men also made fun of him.

"Ah Xuan, I have something to discuss with you, what do you think?"

Suddenly Zhao Feng spoke seriously.

"What if you say that this Mo hero is a member of the Red Scarf Team?"

"Don't exaggerate. Just say it's a squadron leader or a battalion leader."

In the Red Scarf Team, in addition to Princess Ankang, the captain, the following are the captain, the squadron leader and the team leader.

I'm afraid Zhao Feng wasn't just saying this casually, but he had his own considerations.

"Is there something wrong with the Red Scarf Team's development recently?"

Li Xuan asked immediately.

"It's not really a big problem."

Zhao Feng thought for a moment and said.

“After the rapid development at the beginning, we are now facing a bottleneck.”

"Of course, the main reason is that there are too few skilled warriors in the Red Scarf Team."

This is true. The Red Turban Team is mainly composed of eunuchs in flowery clothes from the Imperial Household Department.

The rest are all low-class people, at most street thugs, but because of the rules and procedures of the Red Scarf Team, they have been much more restrained than before, and are also keen on doing good deeds.

But if a gang wants to develop, this alone is not enough.

One of the important reasons why the Jinqian Gang was able to grow into the number one gang in Daxing is that it has many masters who are well-known in the underworld.

Some of them were trained by the Money Gang, while others were martial arts masters recruited by the Money Gang.

But no matter what, the personal prestige of these masters ultimately contributed to the subsequent strength of the Money Gang.

It seems that Zhao Feng hopes that the Red Turban Team can also attract some good players from the outside world to join.

This matter was originally part of the plan that Li Xuan had made for Princess Ankang, but they now had no chance to travel around the world, and thus no chance to interact with the masters in the world.

At this stage, we can only rely on the Red Scarf Team's slowly accumulated reputation to attract like-minded people.

After all, the Red Turban Team doesn't want everyone. At least Li Xuan has no interest in those with a bad reputation and low character.

I believe Princess Ankang has the same idea on this point.

Li Xuan thought about it and felt that if he just added his name to the Red Scarf Team, it would not be a big deal.

And he himself is the founding cat of the Red Scarf Team, so it’s not nonsense.

Immediately, Li Xuan agreed to Zhao Feng's proposal.

"Okay, as long as you agree."

"With the addition of Hero Mo, the reputation of the Red Scarf Team can be smoothly spread beyond the capital."

Zhao Feng nodded, obviously having already made an arrangement in mind.

"Old Wei, His Majesty has ordered that your North Team rest indefinitely."

"You're staying here anyway, why don't you go to the Red Scarf Team and get a title?"

"what?"

Wei Zhen's face was full of reluctance. After all, the name didn't sound very reliable.

"I've been listening for a long time, but I still don't know what this Red Scarf Team does?"

Zhao Feng naturally gave a detailed answer to Wei Zhen's question.

When Wei Zhen heard that all the business of the Red Scarf Team was personally delivered to Princess Ankang by the leader of the Money Gang, his expression became even more interesting.

"Isn't this some conspiracy?"

Wei Zhen had never heard of a good person in the underworld who would directly give away his own property, especially when this good person was from the Money Gang.

"The Money Gang was severely infiltrated by King Zheng's men. Chen Tan had no choice but to bring in the royal family to muddy the waters so that he could fish in troubled waters and avoid being swallowed up by King Zheng."

"After all, this gang is also Chen Tan's hard work, so he naturally doesn't want to make wedding clothes for others."

"Chen Tan loves money, but he is unwilling to participate in court struggles. Naturally, he does not like the overbearing style of King Zheng."

"Judging from the current results, Princess Ankang has indeed bought a lot of time for Chen Tan."

"I heard that the Money Gang has been very active recently, and the gang is becoming more and more divided."

Zhao Feng smiled with a hint of gloating.

Although he was not in the capital these days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' spies were always on the lookout, so he was naturally well-informed about the news in the capital.

Seeing Zhao Feng laughing so happily, Li Xuan couldn't help but ask:
"Can we benefit from this?"

At this time, Shang, the chief steward on the side, said: "If the means are appropriate, the Money Gang can be further taken down."

"At the very least, half for each person."

"If it goes well, it's not impossible to mess up King Zheng's share."

Manager Shang stroked his chin, and seemed to have a lot of ideas. Zhao Feng beside him also nodded frequently, and obviously had the same idea.

Only Li Xuan and Wei Zhen looked at each other, not understanding what the two were talking about.

...The days pass by.

The winter is almost over.

I still remember how long last winter was for the three little ones.

But this year has given them a fleeting feel.

"Sister Yu'er, it will be the anniversary of my mother's death in a few days. I want to pay my respects to her properly."

On this day, Princess Ankang suddenly said this.

Yu'er was stunned for a moment, but then nodded: "Your Highness is right."

"Although I have a simple memorial tablet in my room, it still feels a little too crude."

"Your Highness, the temple that His Highness the Eighth Prince took us to before was very good."

"How about we go there and set up a memorial tablet for the goddess?"

Yu'er's proposal aroused Princess Ankang's interest.

"Those little tablets on the wall, right?"

They had previously attended a Buddhist ceremony at Ci'en Temple with the Eighth Prince during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and had also released lanterns there.

During the visit, Princess Ankang did see that there was a hall in Ci'en Temple with many tablets, some of which had relics of the deceased placed in front of them as a memorial.

"That's a good idea."

Princess Ankang smiled gently and liked this idea very much.

Seeing Princess Ankang agreed, Yu'er also breathed a sigh of relief.

As time went by, Princess Ankang would no longer fall into sadness whenever she mentioned Concubine Xiao.

Princess Ankang seemed to have slowly gotten used to this matter.

"Sister Yu'er, can you help me find a good piece of wood?"

"I want to carve a portrait of my mother and worship it together."

Princess Ankang's words surprised Yu'er.

"Your Highness, would you like to carve it yourself?"

After all, Princess Ankang doesn't have such interests on a daily basis, so it's inevitable that it seems a bit strange.

Besides, if you don’t have some basic skills, you probably won’t be able to carve well.

"Your Highness, how about I ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find someone to help?"

"No, no, no." Princess Ankang shook her head like a rattle and explained, "I want to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll ask someone else for help."

"Besides, it all depends on the intention."

"If I can't carve well this year, I can just carve a better one next year and replace it with the original."

Yu'er also heard Princess Ankang's determination, and could understand her idea of ​​doing something for Concubine Xiao.

After Concubine Xiao passed away, someone immediately took her body away.

At that time, Jingyang Palace was still a cold palace, so naturally no one told them where Concubine Xiao's body was buried.

According to the rules, how to deal with the bodies of concubines who were banished to the cold palace depends on the circumstances.

If the enemy is still alive and holds power, there is a high probability that he will die without a burial place and be thrown into a mass grave, rolled up on a mat, waiting to be dug out and eaten by wild dogs.

But given Emperor Yongyuan's affection for Concubine Xiao, he would certainly not allow such a thing to happen.

However, burying Concubine Xiao in the imperial mausoleum was extremely against the rules for a concubine who was banished to the cold palace.

However, Emperor Yongyuan secretly sent Concubine Xiao's body to his own coffin and buried it.

It was Chief Steward Shang who discussed this matter with Li Xuan in private.

At that time, Li Xuan did not have a very good impression of Emperor Yongyuan for various reasons. If he had not heard about this incident, he would probably still be hesitating about choosing sides.

But Li Xuan did not tell Princess Ankang about this matter.

He waited for Princess Ankang to ask in person later.

At least the time is not right now, and even Li Xuan cannot do everything for Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang also has things she needs to accomplish on her own.

Seeing that Princess Ankang had made up her mind, Yu'er did not try to persuade her any further. Instead, she went to the door and asked the eunuch in flowery clothes on duty to bring her a piece of wood suitable for carving.

The flowery-robed eunuch acted quickly and soon delivered the wood of suitable size to Jingyang Palace. He also thoughtfully sent various tools and materials needed for wood carving.

Princess Ankang moved all the things into her room and began to study them.

She tried several carving knives and finally chose to use Li Xuan's cat claw.

After all, Li Xuan's cat claws are sharper and can be adjusted according to her wishes at any time.

Li Xuan lay quietly in Princess Ankang's arms, letting Princess Ankang fiddle with his paws as she pleased.

Princess Ankang's physical condition is now much better than before, and her hands are very steady when she carves wood.

She tried it first and soon found the trick. Using Li Xuan's cat claws, she quickly carved a human figure out of a piece of wood.

The next step is to add the specific details.

Princess Ankang thought hard, planning to make a rough draft in her mind before continuing with the carving.

But I spent half a day thinking about this.

After a long time, Li Xuan fell asleep unknowingly, and suddenly felt a drop of warm liquid falling on his body.

When he opened his eyes, he found Princess Ankang was crying silently.

Li Xuan thought something was wrong with her, so he stood up and asked hurriedly:

"What's wrong, meow?"

"Not feeling well, meow?"

As he spoke, Li Xuan had already used the Yin-Yang Qi to examine Princess Ankang's body, and found nothing abnormal.

Princess Ankang saw Li Xuan wake up, sniffed, and said with red eyes:
"Ah Xuan, I can't remember what my mother looks like..."

“It’s so blurry…”

"My mother's face is so blurry in my mind..."

There was a rare hint of fear in Princess Ankang's tone, as if she was afraid that she would never remember Concubine Xiao again.

Li Xuan's heart trembled. Looking at the female figure in Princess Ankang's hands, which was only an outline, he didn't know how to comfort her.

He silently wiped away Princess Ankang's tears and stayed by her side.

"How come I can't even remember what my mother looks like?"

"Am I a very unfilial daughter..."

Princess Ankang lowered her head and sobbed.

Li Xuan used his claws and tail to wipe away Princess Ankang's tears.

"No, meow."

"It's normal, meow."

Li Xuan gently patted Princess Ankang's forehead with his tail, and when she looked up, he wrote in front of her:
"Actually, I can't quite remember."

"But the important thing is that we still miss her."

"Don't worry, I will definitely make you remember what Concubine Xiao looks like!"

Li Xuan made his own promise to Princess Ankang.

There is no portrait of Concubine Xiao in Jingyang Palace.

The three little ones are all very clear about this.

But Li Xuan knew that there must be someone in the palace who had Concubine Xiao's portrait.

After Li Xuan calmed Princess Ankang down a little, he immediately ran out of Jingyang Palace to look for Concubine Xiao's portrait.

But Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When Princess Ankang mentioned it just now, Li Xuan finally realized that he was also vague about some details about Concubine Xiao.

It's really not a pleasant feeling that a person becomes blurred in one's own memory.
