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

Chapter 650: Mentality

The letter paper was not big, but it contained a lot of information written densely in tiny calligraphy.

Li Xuan has night vision, and even on this dark and windy night, he can easily see the contents of the letter.

But as he continued to read the contents of the letter, his little brows furrowed tightly.

"Meow, these officials are so evil-minded, meow!"

After reading the letter, Li Xuan glared and cursed.

Looking at the instructions in the letter, he finally understood what King Zheng meant by what he had said before.

"Song Xunchun broke the law knowingly, he deserves to be executed."

They actually came up with a lot of new ideas around this simple sentence.

It was inevitable to first inform the county government behind. Only by letting them know what happened in Jinghou County could they understand that this was a major matter that concerned their lives.

Then came King Zheng's advice that it was necessary to destroy all possible evidence.

In addition, other preparations must be made.

The scapegoat must be prepared early. Now is a good opportunity to get rid of those stubborn officials who usually do not cooperate.

If the evidence is difficult to eliminate completely, mislead people at the key point and point the finger at another person.

If he can't get up again, he will mix the truth with the falsehood and muddy the waters completely. At the very least, he must not let the evidence in Emperor Yongyuan's hands be as ironclad as it is today, leaving no room for any rebuttal.

In the worst case scenario, the letter also contained instructions, asking officials from all regions to prepare for accidents such as fires as soon as possible and to burn down all the places and people that needed to be burned.

The contents of the letter can be summed up in one sentence: a situation like what happened in Jinghou County must never happen again.

If he couldn't do it, it would not be unfair for him to be beheaded by Emperor Yongyuan.

King Zheng finally let them fend for themselves.

"We must hurry back to report the news."

Li Xuan took a final look around and confirmed that there was no one else before he carried the three unconscious people onto the horses. Then he personally pulled the reins of the three horses and headed to the other end of Jinghou County.

There, Xu Lang and his team were waiting to pick him up.

It was quite easy for Li Xuan, a small cat, to control three horses.

With the help of Yin and Yang Qi, the horses were very obedient.

Li Xuan also tried to meow a few times, but he really couldn't communicate with the horses.

He and Dabai are real relatives, but the result still has to be guessed, not to mention the fact that they are related across species.

Li Xuan was only able to communicate easily with Maoba and the others. When it came to communicating with other small animals, he was not much better than humans.

It took Li Xuan more than half an hour to go around the outside of the city and find Xu Lang and others to pick him up.

They saw Li Xuan riding on a horse, controlling the reins of three horses with his claws in an orderly manner, and then stopped steadily in front of them.

"Master Xuan."

Xu Lang called out and hurried forward to take the reins from Li Xuan's hands. The other eunuchs in flowery clothes also hurried forward to control the three unconscious men in black.

After confirming that there was no problem, they escorted the three men in black back to the city quietly.

Emperor Yongyuan occupied the county government office, so the city gate closest to the county government office was also under the control of the eunuch in flowery clothes.

In fact, with Li Xuan leading the way, it would not be a problem to take the eunuch in flowery clothes directly to find King Zheng's men.

But Emperor Yongyuan didn't want to take action at this time.

This place is too close to the capital, so King Zheng must be hesitant to take any action.

If we alert the enemy now and make King Zheng be on guard behind the scenes, it would be more trouble than gain.

Just as Prince Zheng was seeking justice, Emperor Yongyuan also needed to find a reasonable reason to deal with Prince Zheng.

Of course, the premise of all this is the strength of both parties.

As long as one side is stronger than the other, then all kinds of status will make sense.

Even those civil officials who are the most noisy on weekdays will naturally learn to shut up when the time comes.

After returning to the county government office safely, Li Xuan asked Xu Lang to wait outside the door with the three men in black, while he went in to report the results of tonight's mission.

In the room, Emperor Yongyuan, who had received the news long ago, had already gotten up, wearing the familiar dragon robe.

The two stewards stood by quietly waiting for orders.

"Axuan, what's wrong?"

Li Xuan immediately jumped onto the table, took out the letter he had intercepted, and then repeated everything he had learned today.

He even used the fire-attributed true qi to control his qi and transform himself, and imitated the special sign language of King Zheng and his attendants exactly.

Watching Li Xuan raise his two front paws high, carefully transforming into a pair of flaming palms and replicating the sign language one by one, the tired Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help but smile.

Emperor Yongyuan and the two general managers could not understand the content of the sign language.

It can be confirmed that this thing was created by King Zheng for private communication.

It seems that he has made a lot of preparations for the rebellion, otherwise who would create such a thing?

As for the specific contents, Li Xuan thought that they should have been explained in the letter.

Emperor Yongyuan took the letter and frowned after reading it.

He knew that King Zheng was not that easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that the other party would come up with a countermeasure so quickly.

In recent years, Emperor Yongyuan has collected a lot of evidence through spies from the Imperial Household Department.

But there are actually not many people who have such irrefutable evidence as Song Xunchun from Jinghou County.

The reason why today was so smooth was mainly due to the help of Song Xunchun's chief clerk who opposed him.

Emperor Yongyuan had been preparing this chess piece for a long time. Although he used it very happily today, if he fails to achieve the same effect later, his southern tour may end in failure and his prestige will be greatly damaged.

But Li Xuan believed that Emperor Yongyuan must have made more preparations.

Li Xuan heard about the southern tour last year.

He had been planning this for so long, definitely not to embarrass himself.

Now it seems that in this first game, Prince Zheng underestimated Emperor Yongyuan. He didn't expect the game to be so exciting right from the start.

Song Xunchun was beheaded on the spot, and King Zheng also lost a lot of face.

But what’s more important is what happens later. The one who laughs last is the real winner.

After reading the letter, Emperor Yongyuan gave it to two general managers to circulate.

Soon, all the people and cats in the room shared the same message.

"Zhao Feng, immediately interrogate the people that Xuan has captured and see if you can get anything out of them."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Feng immediately took the order and left, taking over the three men in black from Xu Lang outside the door.

"How is the evidence preparation for the next county going?"

Emperor Yongyuan turned to ask Chief Steward Shang.

"Your Majesty, although there is no strong witness, the physical evidence is complete."

"As long as they are not under the orders of King Zheng, it should not be a problem to capture them."

Manager Shang has always been cautious in what he says, so when he says this it means he is very confident.

"Once the next county is captured, King Zheng will realize that the letter has not been delivered."

Emperor Yongyuan pondered for a moment and then gave the order.

"Ah Xuan, you just said there are still many men in black near the posthouse?"

Li Xuan nodded.

"Are there any top three rank experts among them?"

"No meow." Li Xuan was sure of this.

"If there is a top three rank expert, it would be easy to detect meow."

There are many top-third-rank masters in Emperor Yongyuan's southern tour team.

Unless the other party has practiced special skills, it would be difficult not to be detected.

King Zheng probably took this into consideration, which is why he arranged for the guards near the post station to be of the middle third rank.

If Li Xuan's guess was correct, the four attendants should be at the peak of the fourth rank. The other men in black were at the fifth rank, and although their strength was not top-notch, their numbers were sufficient.

Even if something really happens, it will be enough to last until the experts on King Zheng's side react.

Moreover, King Zheng himself should have many means to save his life.

If he dared to follow the southern tour team, he must be confident in his own ability.

Otherwise, Prince Zheng himself knew very well that this was a great opportunity for Emperor Yongyuan to get rid of him.

Through the explicit rules, Emperor Yongyuan could weaken the power around Prince Zheng to the limit.

But on the other hand, Emperor Yongyuan also put himself in danger.

This place is not like the palace, the possibility of accidents is greatly increased.

Both of them have already started a life-and-death hand-to-hand combat.

"Okay, Ah Xuan, you show Mr. Shang the way and take him to deal with the men in black near the posthouse, then send a signal for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up the mess."

"Then you come back and report."

"Mr. Shang, you should go directly to the next county town, arrest the corrupt officials in charge, and wait for us in the city."

"When we get there, we will capture these 'fleeing criminals' and I will sentence them in court."

Emperor Yongyuan already had a plan.

"Are you not afraid of alerting the enemy?"

Li Xuan asked in confusion.

Emperor Yongyuan had repeatedly warned him not to get into conflict with Prince Zheng easily and to act in a covert manner.

But now he suddenly changed his style and planned to attack King Zheng's men directly.

"No, we are not trying to capture King Zheng, but to scare them."

"To scare those ministers who are attached to King Zheng's wing."

"Remember, don't touch the people inside the posthouse. Kill all those outside the posthouse, and then put the bodies neatly in front of the posthouse."

There was a cold light flashing in Emperor Yongyuan's eyes.

Li Xuan didn't ask any more questions and immediately took action with Manager Shang.

No one knew where Zhao Feng had gone with the three men in black; they had long since disappeared.

Li Xuan and Manager Shang arrived at the posthouse. It was late at night and the entire Jinghou County was quiet.

Li Xuan opened his perception and found that there were still many men in black around the inn, so he felt relieved.

He first pointed out the locations of all the men in black for Manager Shang, and then planned to take action.

But at this time, Manager Shang stopped him.

"Ah Xuan, don't worry."

Shang, the chief steward, calmed Li Xuan down, and then asked, "You said before that you had comprehended the magic skills of the Western Region Fire Demon. To what extent have you been able to learn it?"

Li Xuan knew that Shang Zongguan was going to mess with King Zheng again, so he thought about it and said honestly:

“I can learn to deal with these guys to some extent, but if there is a top-3rd rank expert who is familiar with the Western Region Fire Demon, he may still be able to find out the flaws.”

At this time, the surroundings were quiet, and the man and the cat were communicating through voice transmission.

Hearing Li Xuan's answer, Shang Zongguan smiled and said, "That's enough. King Zheng won't have the chance to examine these bodies carefully."

Manager Shang had said so much, and Li Xuan knew that he couldn't slack off later, so he had to nod resignedly.

"Then please help me control them. The moves of the Western Region Fire Demon are quite loud."

Then, Li Xuan and the monk chief steward started to cooperate.

Manager Shang was in charge of controlling the men in black with illusions, while Li Xuan tried his best to harvest them with obscure moves.

But he has not practiced the Jihena Demon Flame enough now, and can only imitate about 30% of the image by relying on the special talent of Yin-Yang Qi.

But the power was not reduced at all, and it was easy to kill those fifth-grade men in black one by one.

After all, the Western Fire Demon's skills are mainly based on rapid bursts, and Li Xuan's Yin-Yang Qi has an endless special effect, which directly makes up for the shortcomings of this magic skill.

If this magic skill falls into the hands of someone else, if they want to continue practicing it, they must sacrifice human blood to refine the magic flame.

If we do this, there will definitely be quite a stir.

But Li Xuan saved himself from this trouble by relying on the Yin-Yang Qi.

Yin and Yang Qi can evolve into all the energy between heaven and earth.

As long as Li Xuan knows the form of existence of this energy, he can slowly learn to evolve.

Therefore, when the Jihena Demonic Flame came into Li Xuan's hands, it was directly freed from those harmful and immoral cultivation methods and became a very ordinary technique.

However, all the characteristics of magic skills are present, such as fast improvement and great power.

When Monk Chief Li Xuan was halfway through killing the enemy, they could no longer suppress the noise.

The man in black sensed something was wrong and was about to organize a counterattack, but he was met with an even more fierce attack.

After Monk Chief Li Xuan no longer needed to hide his actions, he started killing people very quickly.

The men in black didn't react in time to retreat, leaving corpses all over the ground.

At the same time, the four attendants guarding King Zheng also noticed something was wrong.

The two gatekeepers turned around and went into the house, waking up their companions to protect King Zheng.

They acted very quickly and immediately surrounded King Zheng in a tight spot.

"My Lord, something happened outside."

King Zheng was a light sleeper and woke up immediately.

He had just sat up from the bed when he heard the sound of arrows outside the window.

The unfamiliar sound of arrows immediately made King Zheng frown.

"See what's going on."

As soon as King Zheng finished giving his order, someone started shouting outside.

"There are assassins!"

Prince Zheng was stunned. He didn't think that Emperor Yongyuan would be so anxious, so he was even more confused about what was going on.

"Go down and have a look."

King Zheng went downstairs with his four attendants and found that many officials had also been woken up.

At some point, several teams of eunuchs in flowery clothes appeared outside the inn and surrounded the inn.

In other words, when we heard them shouting to catch the assassin, those who didn't know would have thought they were going to besiege the inn.

Prince Zheng snorted coldly, knowing that this must be a trick of Emperor Yongyuan.

He really didn't believe that Emperor Yongyuan would dare to do anything to him under such circumstances.
Prince Zheng was confident that if he died unexpectedly, Emperor Yongyuan would not be able to keep his throne.

"What's all the fuss?"

King Zheng frowned and asked the eunuch in flowery clothes who was leading the team.

"Your Highness, Prince Zheng, there are assassins around the posthouse and we are searching for them. Please stay inside the posthouse and wait patiently."

Xu Lang answered politely.

"assassin?"

"She's so peaceful, there's no need to worry..."

Before Prince Zheng could finish his words, he saw eunuchs in flowery clothes carrying the bodies of men in black and placing them in front of the door of the inn.

These were all King Zheng's men, so he naturally recognized them at a glance.

But what frightened him even more was the wounds remaining on the black-clad man's body.

The bodies that were blown to pieces were left with black wounds that were carbonized by the high temperature.

King Zheng had seen this kind of method before.

"How can it be!?"
