Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 599 Snow and Moon Dance
After briefly exchanging information about each other's situation, Li Xuan and Ye Lao reunited and caught up with the large group, continuing to head towards the capital.

The second-rank master sent by King Zheng has been repelled. Now they not only have the eunuch in flowery clothes to guard them, but also Old Master Ye as their stabilizing force by their side. They can finally relax completely.

Zhao Feng came close to Li Xuan and Ye Lao and asked Li Xuan:

"Ah Xuan, will Chengche be okay?"

"He was coughing up blood from time to time just now."

Zhao Feng used the breeze to carry Monk Chengche and followed behind him.

The disciples of Fuhu Temple also frequently expressed their concerns here.

Li Xuan then remembered that in order to urge them to hurry up, he had told a white lie, saying that Monk Chengche would die if he couldn't get back to the capital.

Although he had told Zhao Feng that Monk Chengche was fine before he left, it seemed that Zhao Feng was still worried.

"Don't worry, the monk is in good health."

"He is vomiting blood now because he used desperate means before. It's not a big problem. At most, he is detoxifying."

After Li Xuan finished conveying the message, seeing that Zhao Feng was still worried, he had no choice but to jump onto Monk Chengche's body and lie down.

As a result, Zhao Feng felt much more relieved.

"It's still good this way, it's still good this way..."

Zhao Feng nodded repeatedly and continued:

"This way, if anything happens, you can take care of it immediately."

Zhao Feng said with a smile.

He cared too much about the life and death of Monk Chengche, so he acted like this.

Mr. Ye on the side just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

After all, if one wants to find out what happened in Fuhu Temple, Monk Chengche is the key, so how can Zhao Feng not take it seriously?

If they rescued a dead person, all their efforts would be in vain, and all their energy tonight would be wasted.

Zhao Feng could feel more at ease knowing that Li Xuan was taking care of Monk Chengche.

After all, if Li Xuan couldn't save the person, even Imperial Doctor Xue might not be able to do anything about it.

Late at night, they rushed back to the capital.

With Zhao Feng stepping forward, it is very easy to open the city gate.

But with such a big scene they made tonight, I don’t think they can hide it from King Zheng.

I wonder how Prince Zheng would feel if he knew that Fuhu Temple was rescued by the Imperial Household Department.

After they entered the city, they went to Ci'en Temple.

There are also a few young monks from Fuhu Temple there.

When they arrived here, they found that there were eunuchs in flowery clothes guarding the place, and there were imperial guards guarding the surrounding area.

It was late at night, but the light from the torches made the place as bright as day.

When Zhao Feng asked, he found out that the person was sent by General Shang.

Steward Shang sent people to take the young monks away, but Master Chenghai refused to do so no matter what, and the situation became like this.

I guess Master Chenghai doesn’t know who to trust.

However, since he had promised Monk Chengche to take good care of the young monk in Fuhu Temple, there was naturally no reason for him to hand him over easily.

Zhao Feng's arrival also alarmed the people in Ci'en Temple.

How could they possibly sleep well with all the noise tonight?

"Manager Zhao!"

The tightly closed door of Ci'en Temple opened, and Master Chenghai hurried out with several disciples.

As soon as Master Chenghai came out, he saw the unconscious Monk Chengche floating in the air.

"Senior Brother Chengche..."

Master Chenghai had never imagined that the person he had just seen off this morning would end up like this in less than a day.

Cheng Che and he are both third-rank warriors. If the other party can injure Cheng Che like this, then he can also deal with him in the same way.

Thinking of this, Master Chenghai instantly understood many things and knew why Monk Chengche had been hesitating and never speaking clearly during the time he came to Beijing.

Now it seems that they are afraid of bringing trouble to Ci'en Temple.

Master Chenghai wanted to go forward and take a closer look at Monk Chengche's condition, but was stopped by Zhao Feng.

"Master Chenghai, the disciples of Fuhu Temple are safe and sound. Master Chengche is not in danger of death either, he is just temporarily unconscious."

"The situation is unclear now, I hope Master Chenghai can forgive me."

"Master Chengche and the disciples of Fuhu Temple, I will take them back and submit them to His Majesty for the decision."

When Master Chenghai heard this, he was stunned and frowned and asked:

"Why should the grudges in the martial arts world reach the ears of the gods?"

"What happens in the underworld is left to the underworld."

"Let us handle this little matter ourselves."

Master Chenghai requested politely.

"Master Chenghai, things are far from as simple as you think."

"There are a lot of implications behind Fuhu Temple, and it cannot be ignored."

"Master Chenghai, please also hand over the Fuhu Temple disciples who are temporarily staying at Ci'en Temple to our protection."

"After all, we can't spare so much manpower every day to protect the area around Ci'en Temple."

As Zhao Feng spoke, he pointed at the eunuchs in flowery clothes and imperial guards surrounding Ci'en Temple.

Master Chenghai could naturally distinguish the good from the bad words.

If Ci'en Temple cooperates, everything will be easy.

If you don't cooperate, there's no telling where the swords of the flowery eunuch and the imperial guards will be pointed.

Master Chenghai looked at Mr. Ye who had been silent beside Zhao Feng and felt helpless.

"Manager Zhao, can you give me some time to think about it?"

Zhao Feng did not hesitate to accept Master Chenghai's request. He nodded happily and continued:

"They will withdraw tomorrow. I hope the master can think it over carefully before then."

"It's late at night, so we won't bother you any more."

After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he bowed, turned around and led his men away.

"Manager Zhao, wait a minute!"

Master Chenghai shouted from behind, but Zhao Feng pretended not to hear.

"Since godfather didn't take me by force, he must have other arrangements."

Zhao Feng said secretly in his heart, looking at the guards around him, he already understood.

In the end, Master Chenghai could only helplessly watch Zhao Feng and his men leave.

This is the capital city. How dare these gangsters openly disobey the Imperial Household Department?

But there simply isn't enough time in one day.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Yuanxin, who came out with them, asked Master Chenghai.

"Send someone to Chongfu Temple now and ask Master Shanliao to come over."

Master Chenghai frowned.

The incident happened suddenly and he didn't know who to trust, so he could only think of this person.

After Monk Chengche came to the capital, it can be said that he only believed in himself and Master Shan.

Now, Master Chenghai can only continue to trust the judgment of Monk Chengche, the person involved.

After a sleepless night, all the major Buddhist temples in the capital were thrown into chaos.

On the other side, Li Xuan and others completed their mission tonight.

The moment they took Monk Chengche into the Imperial Household Department, they all couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The other Fuhu Temple disciples have been arranged to settle down in the Southern Court of the Imperial City.

It was not realistic to place so many people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they only brought Monk Chengche here, after all, this guy was the most important witness of Fuhu Temple. After returning to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and settling the unconscious Monk Chengche, they soon met Shang Zongguan who was in charge of the palace.

"Mr. Ye, thank you for your hard work tonight."

As soon as Manager Shang came up, he bowed to Mr. Ye.

"It's just my job. No need to be so polite. It's rare for me to stretch my muscles." Old Ye waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"Feng'er, how is things going tonight?" Manager Shang asked Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng immediately reported every detail of tonight's situation, and Mr. Ye also added the details of the battle.

"The enemy is of the second rank of fire attribute, and is very powerful."

"If I'm not mistaken, it must be the Fire Demon from the Western Region back then."

There is no better distinguishing feature between second-grade warriors than the Dao realm.

Through the battle, Mr. Ye recognized the identity of the old man with red beard.

"The Fire Demon of the Western Region?"

Li Xuan muttered in his heart, judging from the name, he doesn't seem to be a good person.

"It is said that the Fire Demon of the Western Regions died a long time ago. It turns out that he has joined the army of King Zheng?" Manager Shang sighed, feeling a little tricky.

"There has been no news of this person for 20 to 30 years, right?"

“I didn’t expect it to pop up again now.”

Zhao Feng thought about it and suddenly realized that he had not heard of this name for many years.

"Is this Western Region Fire Demon powerful?"

Seeing that everyone was talking animatedly, Li Xuan also interjected.

Finally, it was Master Ye who patiently introduced this man's life to Li Xuan:

"When he was young, he was a famous young genius in the Western Regions. He attracted a lot of attention. Later, he even threatened to travel around the world and challenge masters from all over the world."

"But before he left the Western Regions, he had an accident and disappeared for a while."

"People just thought that this genius from the Western Regions died young in some obscure corner. After all, it was a long time ago, so no one took it too seriously."

"Only three years later, when this person reappeared, he was already a master who was about to enter the upper third rank. However, by that time, his character had changed drastically, and he committed several heinous crimes that shocked hundreds of countries in the Western Regions."

"Later I heard that he had practiced magic and lost his mind, but his cultivation level also improved greatly because of it."

"The last news was that the Western Region sent out several experts to kill this person, and then there was no more news about him."

Although Mr. Ye is old, his memory is still pretty good.

Manager Shang and Zhao Feng on the side also nodded, they knew similar things.

"I didn't expect that this Western Region Fire Demon not only survived, but his cultivation has also been promoted to the second level."

"I just didn't expect that King Zheng would use this hidden card that he had kept for many years in this matter."

Manager Shang said worriedly.

"Godfather, it seems that this matter is not simple." Zhao Feng also echoed from the side.

"By the way, godfather."

"What do you plan to do with the young monks at Ci'en Temple?"

In response to Zhao Feng's question, Shang Zongguan smiled and said, "Become a bait to see how anxious our Prince Zheng is. If we can induce him to make a mistake in the capital, it would be great."

Zhao Feng immediately understood and knew that his previous guess was correct.

The guards around Ci'en Temple seem strict, but in fact they are sparse, and are mostly just for show, or even mainly for the sake of showing off.

Zhao Feng could tell the significance of this temple as soon as he arrived at the gate of Ci'en Temple.

After hearing this, Li Xuan felt uncomfortable.

"You want to use those little monks as bait, meow?"

Shang Zongguan heard Li Xuan's emotions and immediately comforted him:
"Ah Xuan, you don't have to worry too much. Ci'en Temple is not a vegetarian."

"Besides, unless King Zheng is out of his mind, he wouldn't dare to do this."

"After all, this is the capital city, and the temples in the capital city don't eat vegetarian food."

Shang paused and continued, "I want to see how much King Zheng cares about this matter."

"Even if they don't attack directly, they will definitely spy on us secretly. However, the Zheng Palace has lost a lot of secret guards in recent times, so they will definitely be cautious."

"And it just so happens that the secret guard that you helped us capture earlier, Xuan, confessed some things."

“So we need a chance to verify it.”

"I see." After listening to Shang's words, Li Xuan seemed to be thinking about something, and then said, "Then I will help too."

"Haha, as long as Xuan doesn't mind the hard work."

……

After settling Monk Chengche and the disciples of Fuhu Temple, Li Xuan left the palace.

He wasn't just talking to Manager Shang just now; he really intended to take care of the affairs of those little monks.

But before that, Li Xuan had somewhere to go.

"It's right on the way, so it's not a long detour."

Li Xuan came to the flower street in East City after a long absence.

But even here, the busiest time has passed.

Besides, the weather is getting colder now, and all the houses have closed their doors and windows, so one can only occasionally hear cheerful voices coming from inside.

Li Xuan came to Hu Yulou with familiarity and went straight to the top floor.

The situation in Hu Yulou was almost the same as before and it was still bustling at this hour.

Li Xuan climbed to the top floor, then climbed in through the window and felt a burst of hot air blowing towards him.

Now that charcoal is burned in the house, it is much hotter than in the summer.

But it was late at night and Aimu had gone somewhere and was not in the room.

Li Xuan helped Aimu open the windows to ventilate the air. Burning charcoal with the doors and windows closed is a very dangerous act.

Then, Li Xuan turned on his perception and quickly found Aimu's trace.

He came to the backyard and found it much quieter.

On the white snow, playful footprints are scattered.

In the afterglow of the moonlight, the elves danced.

"Huh huh huh~"

The girl's humming, accompanied by the dancing of the bells on her body, played a different kind of dance music.

Compared with Aimu's previous dances, today's one was more elegant and less vulgar.

But no matter what kind of dance it is, Aimu dances it very well.

Li Xuan did not disturb them rashly, but watched quietly from the side.

Aimu seemed to be in a good mood today, otherwise she wouldn't be dancing in the snow to amuse herself so late at night.

"uh-huh!"

Aimu hummed the last sentence and shook the bells on her body happily, as if imitating the cheers of the guests.

"Hehe, I dance really well!"

Aimu raised her head proudly and smiled like a naughty little girl.

"Boasting is not a good habit."

The smile on Aimu's face suddenly disappeared. He tightly grasped the two bells hanging on his clothes in his hands and took a defensive posture.

She hadn't noticed anyone around her before, and it was obvious that the other party was much stronger than her.

"who?"

Aimu asked coldly, but got no response.

At this time, a figure slowly walked out of the shadows.

Aimu's originally wary look suddenly turned into surprise and joy.

"Master Xuan!"
