Chapter 566 Who are you?

After choosing the location, Li Xuan immediately took out the sacrificial utensils.

As an outsider, Master Chenghai did not comment on the royal family's extravagant move of equipping their spiritual pets with storage magic tools.

Moreover, with Li Xuan's strength, he deserves such treatment.

It is a huge challenge for ordinary beastmen to use storage magic weapons.

The three little ones did it themselves, and with the help of Master Chenghai who was familiar with these matters, they set up Concubine Xiao's altar in no time.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er placed the wooden statues and tablets they had prepared.

When everything was ready, Master Chenghai personally chanted sutras and prayed for Concubine Xiao.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er also clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, and silently spoke their thoughts to Concubine Xiao.

Li Xuan also imitated them, put his two front paws together, closed his eyes, and thought of the gentle woman.

"Mrs. Xiao Fei, don't worry."

"Ankang and Yu'er are living well now."

"I will make their lives better, so they don't have to worry about us."

After Li Xuan finished reciting, he opened his eyes again and looked at the wooden statue and tablet on the altar. He seemed to see the figure of Concubine Xiao again.

It took about an hour for the three little ones and Master Chenghai to come out of the pagoda.

On the anniversary of Concubine Xiao's death, being able to set up a tablet for her in the stupa of Ci'en Temple was a great thing for the three little ones.

Before, there wasn’t even a proper tablet in Jingyang Palace.

Although Concubine Xiao asked them not to do these things before she passed away, people are always like this.

Commemorating the memory of deceased loved ones is not only for the deceased, but also for the living.

The eighth prince waited for a long time under the tower. When he saw them coming out, he hurried over.

"How's it going? Is it going well?"

Princess Ankang smiled and nodded, then thanked the Eighth Prince and Master Chenghai solemnly:

"Myna, Master Chenghai."

"Today, I was able to successfully set up the tablet for my mother. I have to thank you two for your help."

"Ankang thanks you for this."

Princess Ankang said this and bowed respectfully.

"Ankang, you are being polite."

"It's what my brother should do. No need to be so polite."

The eighth prince laughed.

Master Chenghai also looked at Princess Ankang with a smile, and returned the greeting:

"Your Highness, you have helped Ci'en Temple solve its problems this time. I should be the one to thank you."

Although he had little contact with Princess Ankang, Master Chenghai already had a good impression of this well-educated and well-mannered little princess.

Compared with other princes and princesses, Princess Ankang was not arrogant at all. She was very polite to other people and did not think she was superior to others because of her status as a royal princess.

After thanking each other, both sides said goodbye and left. After all, the business had been done.

But at this moment, Li Xuan jumped out, waving his tail and asked Master Chenghai:
"Master, I have become the guardian beast of Ci'en Temple. Is there any benefit?"

Master Chenghai smiled awkwardly, and suddenly felt that Li Xuan's high intelligence was not a good thing.

If someone else asked this question, it would definitely be rude.

But Li Xuan is just a cat. It's amazing that he can communicate by writing. You can't expect him to be polite.

The Eighth Prince on the side looked at it and then looked directly at the sky in the distance, thinking:
"Now the cat doesn't even pretend?"

"Should I continue to pretend I don't know?"

While the Eighth Prince was struggling, Princess Ankang stepped in and taught him a lesson: "Ah Xuan, you can't be so rude."

When Master Chenghai heard this, his expression relaxed.

"What good or bad things are there? You are now a member of Ci'en Temple, and you have obligations to fulfill and benefits to enjoy."

"You are a guardian beast. How could Ci'en Temple, as the most famous temple in the capital, treat you unfairly?"

"Isn't this like using the heart of a kitten to measure the belly of a master?"

Li Xuan nodded repeatedly, looking as if he had learned something. He bowed obediently to Princess Ankang and Master Chenghai again and again. He was so pious.

Master Chenghai looked at Princess Ankang with a strange expression.

He discovered last time that this man and the cat were singing a duet with such a tacit understanding.

"I wonder what the guardian beast of our temple needs?"

Master Chenghai understood that with Li Xuan's intelligence, he would not make such a request casually if he had no purpose.

"It's nothing, actually. Ci'en Temple is so famous, so there should be a lot of treasures, right?"

"But don't worry, Master. I'm not an ignorant cat."

"You have already helped us with the matter of offering sacrifices to Concubine Xiao's tablet, so we owe each other nothing."

"I just want to see the treasures of Ci'en Temple, whether it's natural treasures, martial arts secrets, or rare Buddhist scriptures. I just want to take a look, and I promise I won't take any of them."

"You know, as a cat, I can't help but be curious. If I can't satisfy my curiosity, I will feel very uncomfortable."

Li Xuan quickly wrote his request with his tail, fearing that Master Chenghai would not agree.

"Really just looking?"

Master Chenghai looked suspicious.

He didn't understand, he just wanted to see what benefits Li Xuan could get.

Is it really just to satisfy curiosity?

Princess Ankang at the side also chimed in: "Master Chenghai, please be kind."

"Ah Xuan is just very curious, otherwise he would be listless for a while."

"If you are worried, I will hold Xuan down the whole time and only let him look at it, not let him touch the treasures of Ci'en Temple."

Li Xuan also struck while the iron was hot and assured:

"I'll just look at it, I won't touch it!"

The eighth prince watched from the side and couldn't understand their intentions.

If you just want to take a look, you don't have to be so serious, right?

To say that it is a mistake is even more outrageous.

It's impossible to rob Ci'en Temple.

The Eighth Prince observed the situation silently, not daring to say a word for fear of getting dragged into it.

Master Chenghai frowned and replied:
"Your Highness, you are joking. There is no treasure in Ci'en Temple that can compare with the royal family."

He subconsciously felt something was wrong and refused directly.

"Ah, really not?"

Princess Ankang and Li Xuan immediately showed pitiful expressions.

Li Xuan wanted to take a look at the martial arts techniques collected in Ci'en Temple and mentioned this to Princess Ankang a few days ago.

So when Li Xuan made the request just now, Princess Ankang understood what he wanted to do.

Although Li Xuan had revealed before that he could write, he had not revealed his ability to remember everything he saw, or even record martial arts techniques.

If these abilities were known by Master Chenghai, their plans would surely fail.

Now all he could do was see if he could take advantage of the fact that Master Chenghai wasn't aware of Li Xuan's talent.

Li Xuan had previously taken the initiative to write with his tail in front of Master Chenghai, which was also one of his little tricks.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to bring up this matter.

Ci'en Temple has already helped Princess Ankang, so it can be considered as repaying the favor.

Li Xuan couldn't bear to let Princess Ankang make such unreasonable demands again. But he was just a kitten anyway, and many things would be fine if he stepped in.

Things that are not suitable for humans are still reasonable for Li Xuan to do.

Seeing that Li Xuan and Princess Ankang were sincere in their request, Master Chenghai was also in a dilemma. In the end, he could only say:
"Please consider this matter for a few days and give me a reply later."

Master Chenghai had already declined politely, but Li Xuan and Princess Ankang were not discouraged at all and actually agreed with a smile.

"Then we will wait for good news from the master."

Li Xuan wrote shamelessly.

Master Chenghai shook his head, helpless with Li Xuan. He couldn't argue with a kitten.

Finally, Master Chenghai sent them out of Ci'en Temple.

When they reached the door, Princess Ankang said:

"Master, just send it here."

"If the monks from Fuhu Temple still make things difficult for you, you can always send someone to notify us if you need any help."

"After all, Xuan is the guardian beast of Ci'en Temple, so we can be considered to share weal and woe."

Master Chenghai smiled and nodded. He didn't expect that this guardian beast, which was originally used to fool people, would become so serious.

But it was also a good thing, so Master Chenghai did not correct Princess Ankang's statement.

"If your highness wants to pay homage to Empress Xiao, you can visit the stupa on the first and fifteenth day of every month. The stupa is generally not open at other times, unless it is a special festival."

"Please forgive me for this, Your Highness."

Master Chenghai and the Eighth Prince had mentioned this matter to Princess Ankang before.

Before leaving, Master Chenghai emphasized this to them again to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.

Princess Ankang, who already knew these details, nodded and said to Master Chenghai:

"I may come to bother you on New Year's Day, please don't blame me, Master."

"I remember, Your Highness, you are welcome."

After bidding farewell to Master Chenghai, several people got on the carriage and prepared to return to the palace.

“Although there were some twists and turns, it ended successfully.”

The eighth prince sighed as he sat in the carriage.

Princess Ankang nodded and smiled.

After enshrining Concubine Xiao's tablet, a huge weight of relief was finally lifted from my heart.

In this way, there will be nothing to do this month, and we just need to wait for the New Year to come and start a new year.

There are still a few days left before the New Year, and Princess Ankang plans to stay in Jingyang Palace to rest, read a book, and take a nap, which can be regarded as a perfect end to this year.

But when the carriage passed the avenue between Yongningfang and Yonglefang, it slowly stopped and no longer moved forward.

Xu Lang, who was driving the carriage, reported from outside: "Your Highness, the road ahead is congested. It seems that someone is causing trouble. Do we need to change the route now?"

When they heard that there was some excitement outside, the three little ones and the eighth prince all stuck their heads out of the car windows.

As expected, the wide avenue was completely blocked by the crowd, with carriages parked on both sides.

Some carriages have turned around and are planning to take a detour.

But they were not in a hurry to return to the palace. Instead, they wanted to find out what had happened before.

"Xu Lang, send someone to see what's going on?"

Princess Ankang gave an order with great interest.

Upon receiving the order, Xu Lang immediately sent the eunuch in flowery clothes to inquire at the front, and soon received a reply.

"Your Highness, there was a conflict between the Red Scarf Team and others ahead."

"what?"

Hearing Xu Lang's reply, the three little ones all looked puzzled.

The Eighth Prince asked in confusion: "What is the Red Scarf Team?"

Normally he was only interested in having fun, and even though he had cheered up a bit recently, he was mostly concerned about news from the nobles and the army. This was the first time he had heard of the Red Turban Team.

Hearing the Eighth Prince's question, the three kids couldn't help but look embarrassed and felt that the Red Turban Team still had a lot of room for development.

"Let's go take a look at the front."

Since it concerns the Red Turban Team that she founded, Princess Ankang naturally cannot turn a blind eye.

At her command, Xu Lang and other eunuchs in flowery clothes immediately got busy. One person was left to guard the carriage, and the rest escorted the three little ones and the eighth prince into the crowd to watch the excitement ahead.

Under the protection of the eunuchs in flowery clothes, they soon arrived at the front line of the melon-eating.

"Humph, you guys from the Red Scarf Team are the most hypocritical. You do all this superficial work just for the money."

"Now, you dare to pretend to be someone else. Now that you've been caught, you still dare to argue. You're really shameless."

"Everyone, take a good look. This is the so-called Red Scarf Team that will help those in need when they see injustice."

"They are nothing but a bunch of liars!"

As soon as they reached the front line of the melon-eating, they heard the accusations against the Red Scarf Team.

This couldn't help but make Princess Ankang and Li Xuan frown.

The management of the Red Scarf Team is now mainly handled by the eunuchs in flowery clothes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and has recently been joined by the Northern Hunting Team, which is temporarily resting in the capital.

Wei Zhen, captain of the North Team, even served as deputy captain, assisting Zhu Shimin, who was also deputy captain, in managing the Red Scarf Team.

For a long time, developing team members has been a problem because the Red Scarf Team has no foundation.

Before, when the Red Scarf Team was first established, they hired a large number of unemployed idlers from the Money Gang, and paid them to do more good deeds in the city.

Li Xuan was also very clear that the mixed personnel would sooner or later cause trouble, but he always believed in the methods of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He just didn't expect that there would be problems today.

Under the protection of the eunuchs in flowery clothes, they could already see the people from both sides of the conflict.

What surprised the three kids was that the group wearing red scarves were all young men in their twenties, full of energy, and completely different from the idlers before.

"Huh? Did the Red Scarf Team recruit new members?"

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang said this in their hearts at the same time.

They did not rush to intervene, but wanted to see what was going on.

In the Red Scarf Team, the girl with a sword at the front said indignantly:

"Don't spit blood at us. We in the Red Scarf Team are upright and honest."

"But you guys are forcing people to buy and sell on the street. Do you have any laws?"

The girl with the sword took a step forward and responded to the other party's questioning with no less momentum.

Li Xuan looked at the mark on her shoulder and found that she was actually a team leader.

The promotion of the Red Scarf Team is not just based on strength, but mainly on merits of doing good deeds.

This strange young girl was able to be promoted to team leader, so she must have joined the Red Scarf Team for some time.

Looking at the team members behind her, each of them is a young knight, and no one knows where these people came from.

When Li Xuan turned around to look at those who were challenging the Red Turban Team, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling.

"These idlers look so familiar."

Although Li Xuan didn't recognize any of these people, he was very familiar with their ferocious temperament.

"Humph, you still dare to quibble!"

"Your Red Scarf Team has recently been making a big fuss about the fact that the famous Mo Tiansheng Mo hero from the Northeast is a member of your Red Scarf Team."

"You little kids, open your eyes and look who this gentleman is!"

These ferocious-looking men stepped aside, revealing a man dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat.

The man in the bamboo hat walked out slowly, holding a black sword, and struck a pose grimly.
