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

Chapter 655 Numbness
The huge noise in the city has awakened everyone.

No one could sleep anymore.

Even King Zheng climbed out of bed, went to the window and looked at the ruins in the center of Caiyun County.

The fire there was slowly dying out, but it was still lively.

The eunuchs in flowery clothes, the county constables, the county garrison, and the common people who came to help...

The news of the disaster in the city had spread throughout Caiyun County, but fortunately the disaster had been suppressed by the emperor's escort team on his southern tour.

The common people did not know that these vines and thorns were transformed from the Tao realm. They only knew that many of their relatives and friends were buried in the ruins.

As the news spread throughout the county, more and more people got out of bed and came to help under the command of officials and garrison troops.

From the ruins, they dug out one survivor after another who were lucky enough.

They were just sucked blood by the thorns, which damaged some of their vitality.

Those who were even more unlucky were those who were directly infected by the poisonous vines. They were all turned into a pool of corpse water, and not even a complete corpse was left.

People had no idea who the puddle of water under their feet belonged to, but they felt a little comforted when they dug up familiar faces one after another in the ruins.

At least there are still survivors under the ruins.

Li Xuan led Xu Lang's team, locking on to survivors one after another for them and rescuing them from the ruins.

People whose blood is sucked by thorns are not seriously injured, but they will suffer secondary injuries in the process of being buried by the rubble.

For those with more serious injuries, Li Xuan directly used Yin-Yang Qi to treat them, greatly increasing the survivors' chances of survival.

With the help of Li Xuan, the survivors buried in the rubble were quickly rescued.

Li Xuan sensed it several times before he confirmed that there was no living person under the ruins.

"Master Xuan, please go and rest first."

"Leave this to us."

Xu Lang looked at Li Xuan who looked exhausted and persuaded him.

Li Xuan didn't say anything, but just silently looked at the ruins in front of him.

Some of these ruins were crushed by vines and thorns, and some were destroyed by Li Xuan.

He had been extremely careful when he took action before.

Li Xuan was only concerned about not harming innocent people and didn't consider anything else.

But even if he were to think about it slowly now, he couldn't find a better way.

"It must be King Zheng's men."

Li Xuan thought to himself.

Apart from King Zheng, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would go to such great lengths to destroy Caiyun County and cause more killing.

"Ah Xuan, don't think too much."

At this time, the two stewards also came over.

Xu Lang tactfully led his men to a distance and directed the eunuchs in flowery clothes to help the people clean up the ruins.

As Manager Shang was speaking, he came to Li Xuan, squatted down and patted him gently.

Manager Shang understood Li Xuan's feelings, but knew that now was not the time to completely resolve the dispute.

If it weren't for what happened tonight, they probably wouldn't know that there are such masters coveting Caiyun County.

That special use of the Dao Realm is truly impressive.

Even the two general managers saw for the first time a master with such a huge range of Dao realm.

"As a prince, why do you always have trouble with the people?"

"He wants to rebel, what does that have to do with the people?"

Li Xuan asked angrily.

Li Xuan would never allow someone who regarded human life as worthless to become the master of Daxing.

Hearing Li Xuan's angry voice, the two stewards couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah Xuan, although Daxing is a dynasty with a history of a thousand years, it has not yet reached the point of complete decay."

"Such a dynasty is not easy to shake. King Zheng can only find ways to provide himself with opportunities to shake it..."

"Just rely on killing ordinary people?"

Before Manager Shang finished speaking, Li Xuan asked back indignantly.

He couldn't understand why he only thought of the common people at this time.

Li Xuan didn't waste any more time and asked the two managers directly:

"There's no one around him right now, can we just do it?"

"Ah Xuan, don't be impulsive!" Zhao Feng said in shock.

He immediately looked around and saw that they were all people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shang Zongguan was also helpless and said to Li Xuan:

"Ah Xuan, you must never underestimate King Zheng."

"Although King Zheng hasn't taken action for many years, he was a well-known master in the royal family back then."

Li Xuan was shocked when he heard this.

He had previously guessed that King Zheng had some spiritual power, but he had not expected him to hide it so deeply.

"So what is his current level of cultivation?" Li Xuan asked with a frown.

"It should be a foregone conclusion that he will be a top three rank, but King Zheng hasn't taken action in too long, so no one can tell what his current strength is."

Shang Zongguan's answer made Li Xuan frown deeply.

Fortunately, he did not act impulsively before, otherwise he really would not be able to defeat King Zheng.

I just didn't expect that this old guy is so strong.

Li Xuan had only seen him talking in the court before, and never expected that he actually had such solid skills.

"No wonder the secret guards of the posthouse were not in a hurry even after they were removed."

Li Xuan snorted coldly.

"Ah Xuan, you don't have to be anxious."

"King Zheng is also confused, otherwise what happened tonight wouldn't have happened."

"This matter won't just end like this!"

Manager Shang looked at the ruins and said seriously.

Most of these eunuchs who entered the palace came from poor backgrounds. Even though they are now wealthy and glorious, they still cannot stand the wealthy families in the court.

In particular, Prince Zheng's behavior directly threatened the imperial power.

This was something that eunuchs like Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng could not tolerate at all.

"Blood debt must be paid with blood!"

……

at the same time.

Twenty miles outside Caiyun County.

Two figures were moving beside a narrow stream.

This stream is called Beijo Creek, and it is an important water source near Caiyun County.

Because there is always a rainbow over the Beijo River, this place got the nice name of Caiyun County.

But it was so late at night, how could there be ordinary people passing by this stream?

Two figures, one standing and one sitting.

The man who sat down reached his hand into the stream, and no one knew what he was trying to fish out. His hand kept gently shaking in the water.

The moon, which had been hidden for a whole night, finally peeked out from behind the dark clouds, casting a fleeting silver glow.

Under the silver light, the two figures beside the stream revealed their true faces.

The person sitting and fishing in the river is a beautiful and mature woman. She is wearing a tight green shirt with not much fabric on her body, which outlines her exaggerated curves. Her two long legs like jade, one is flat and the other is bent. The other free hand is casually placed on her knee.

This is a woman whose age cannot be determined. Her skin is white and rosy, like a baby's, and seems like water can be squeezed out of it.

But the heavy makeup on her face ruined her temperament a lot.

At this moment, she had her eyes tightly closed, with thick and strange eyeliner hanging on her face. Her expression did not have any of the immaturity of a young girl, but was full of laziness and casualness.

Suddenly, she pulled her hand back from the stream, causing a lot of cold water to splash onto her body, soaking her clothes that barely covered her vital parts and sticking to her skin.

"Green Princess, what's wrong?"

The figure standing nearby asked in a muffled voice. Their operation tonight shouldn't end so quickly.

Lu Ji did not answer her companions immediately, but kept her eyes closed, and only opened them slowly after a long time.

When her eyes opened, a strange green-purple light flashed in them, and then slowly went out.

Green Princess' pupils were very strange, like a strange flower that was half green and half purple, intertwined in a weird posture.

"interesting."

Green Princess licked her red lips, and the corners of her mouth were lightly curled.

She turned to look at her companions, and just then the quick glimpse of the moon in the sky ended and disappeared behind the dark clouds again.

Lu Ji's gaze turned to a shadow on her body that was much larger than her.

"The operation failed. They reacted very quickly."

"And my little ones told me that there seemed to be someone familiar inside, but they suffered a lot."

"Hee hee hee……"

As Lu Ji spoke, she laughed to herself and closed her eyes dazedly, as if she was recalling something, with a look of enjoyment on her face.

"You mean..."

"Did the Fire Demon really betray us?"

The muffled voice asked doubtfully.

"Only his explosive flame can benefit my little ones so much." Midoriki replied almost moaning.

Her answer was very certain, but the big guy next to her still seemed a little unconvinced.

"Although the Fire Demon has a strange personality, he also has his own pride."

"I……"

"It's really hard to imagine that he would betray the prince."

After hearing this, Lu Ji just laughed: "Chun Jun, not everything in this world is solid."

"Or rather, most things are actually extremely fragile."

Chunjun in the shadows remained silent and did not refute Lu Ji's words.

He thought for a moment, then asked:
"What about the mission?"

"The prince needs our help."

Lu Ji smiled indifferently and spread her hands:
"I don't know either. We can't just charge into Caiyun County, right?"

"Go back. We don't need to use our brains to do this."

"All the secret guards around the prince are dead. We just need to buy him some more time tonight."

"In this way, the news from Jinghou County will naturally spread faster than the southern tour team."

Lu Ji always seemed to like to close her eyes, even when talking to her companions, she still kept her eyes closed.

But this did not hinder her movements. She stood up from the ground easily and reached out to her companion's body.

"Let's go."

……

The next morning, after a night of disaster, the sky finally brightened.

But most of the people in Caiyun County had already woken up and were watching the sun rise again numbly.

They didn't know what had happened, they just knew that the county was destroyed and many people were injured.

Some of them disappeared without leaving any trace.

The people of Caiyun County gathered near the ruins and watched silently, as if they were a machine that had malfunctioned.

Some people did lose their loved ones last night and were crying silently.

But more people actually had little to do with last night's disaster.

They're just scared.

Who knows when, they will collapse inexplicably and meaninglessly like the ruins before them.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Somewhere in the county town, there was a sound of drums.

The people looked over there silently.

They recognized that it was the direction of the county government office.

The people seemed to have received some kind of call, and they slowly moved towards the direction where the drum sound came from.

When they arrived outside the county government office, they found that quite a few people had already gathered here, and more and more people were coming this way.

The gate of the county government was wide open, so they could clearly see the court even if they were standing outside.

In the court, a figure in a dragon robe sat high up in the seat.

The people did not recognize Emperor Yongyuan, but they recognized the dragon robe.

There is only one person in the whole Daxing who can wear this kind of clothes.

In the court were the gentlemen of the county.

I heard they had all escaped before, but now it seems they have been caught again.

Only then did the people remember that someone had informed them before that the county masters had made mistakes and would be tried today.

No one has ever seen an emperor trying a case.

"Gao Yanang."

Emperor Yongyuan slammed the gavel and called out the main culprit in the hall.

"You said that King Zheng was colluding with you. Do you have any evidence?"

"Otherwise, falsely accusing a royal relative is punishable by death!"

Gao Yanang and the other prisoners immediately turned into praying insects and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, we have evidence to present!"

They kept shouting, and the eunuchs in flowery clothes presented evidence one by one from below.

When King Zheng saw that the evidence was already prepared, he just narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had known long ago that Emperor Yongyuan would not miss such a good opportunity.

Not to mention a fatal blow, at least I'll bite off a piece of flesh from him.

But to think that he can rely solely on these things is to underestimate him.

King Zheng was disdainful and watched coldly as the evidence was presented one by one in the court.

After Emperor Yongyuan finished looking at all the evidence, he nodded in his heart.

There was only one night left, and such a big thing happened last night. It was already very good that Zhao Feng could do this.

Emperor Yongyuan immediately turned to Prince Zheng and asked:

"Uncle, how do you explain this evidence?"

"Your Majesty, why do you need me to explain?" King Zheng stepped forward and asked.

"Gao Yan'ang and other criminals are so cruel and insane that they oppress the people in their hometowns and bring disaster to the region, betraying the trust of the imperial court."

"Last night, another accomplice attempted a prison break, causing huge damage to Caiyun County and implicated countless innocent people."

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to arrest all the remaining accomplices and bring them to justice. Otherwise, Caiyun County will never have peace."

"The people of Caiyun County also need justice!"

King Zheng spoke passionately and waved his hand vigorously at the people who were listening outside the county government office, trying to stir up their emotions.

But King Zheng's goal was not achieved. The people just watched silently, without any sign of being incited.

The people saw the Prince of Zheng in this way, the Emperor Yongyuan in this way, and the kneeling Gao Yangang and others in this way.

Li Xuan, who was watching outside with the people, shook his head silently.

Princess Ankang held him in her arms and stood with the common people, with Yu'er and the Eighth Prince beside her.

They looked at the strange reactions of the people around them with curiosity.

What King Zheng said just now was actually very skillful and could easily incite people's emotions.

But for some reason, the people of Caiyun County did not buy it at all, which made King Zheng in the court feel a little embarrassed.

Li Xuan was in the crowd and he could clearly feel the emotions of the people.

numbness.

Pure and simple numbness!
