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

Chapter 668 Taking advantage of the situation
When Li Xuan saw the familiar vines, he immediately perked up.

He lowered his body to avoid being noticed by the Thousand Vine Demon Princess behind the vines.

“I don’t know how that woman can sense the surroundings through the vines.”

Through the attack in Jinghou County, Li Xuan could be certain that the Thousand Vine Demon Princess could sense the surrounding environment through these vines.

Otherwise, she would not have responded to Li Xuan's attack at that time.

Li Xuan usually keeps the habit of hiding his breath, but he is afraid that this vine has "eyes" and can see him in other ways.

Although he is a cat, he can't expose himself easily.

After all, he had made eye contact with Qian Teng Mo Ji on the street not long ago.

"It seems that this Jiaozhou prefect is indeed in collusion with King Zheng."

Li Xuan came to the roof of the room, and then used perception to understand the movements of the vines in the room.

I saw the vine extending all the way into the room, then used the branches to dip some ink on the desk, and then began to write on the white paper.

"How convenient."

When the Thousand Vine Demon Princess drove this vine, the true energy on it was so weak that it was difficult to detect.

Just now, Li Xuan saw the vines first, and then locked onto the aura.

From this we can see that Qian Teng Mo Ji's Tao is not only good at large-scale attacks, but also good at such delicate operations.

"Such an enemy should not be underestimated."

“If you want to take down the Thousand Vine Demon Princess, you’ll probably need two or three fire masters of the same level as the Western Region Fire Demon.”

"And we need to catch her alone."

Li Xuan shook his head slightly, knowing the difficulty involved.

The Thousand Vine Demon Princess can attack innocent people in Jinghou County without any burden, which shows that she is also an evil demon like the Fire Demon of the Western Regions, who regards human life as worthless.

Li Xuan didn't expect to subdue such a person, and the only correct solution was to let her enter reincarnation as soon as possible.

After a short while, the vine finished writing the letter and then quietly retreated the way it came.

Li Xuan had met Lu Ji and Chun Jun in a roadside teahouse before and remembered their auras. It was not difficult to find them.

The problem now is that even if we find it, we can’t do anything to the other party.

Moreover, if a conflict breaks out in Jiaozhou City, innocent people may be harmed.

It will take some time to resolve the issues facing these two people.

However, Li Xuan must take a good look at the letter left by Qian Teng Mo Ji.

"The cliffs in the north of the city are ready."

"Divide and strike, a blunt knife cuts the flesh."

"Lure the enemy into a jar and catch the turtle in it."

Three simple sentences were written on the white paper.

After Li Xuan saw it clearly, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"I want to see who is the cuckold!"

Without any hesitation, he left the place and went back to report.

Jiang Pu was indeed a cautious person. He pretended to be busy in the government office and did not go anywhere.

He neither pretended to be friendly with Emperor Yongyuan nor had any contact with Prince Zheng.

But even so, King Zheng still sent someone to deliver the message.

Anyway, it's just three sentences without any beginning or end, and can't be used as evidence.

What’s important is Jiang Pu’s reaction after seeing these words.

You can tell immediately who he wants to help by his reaction.

After helping, he boarded King Zheng’s pirate ship.

Not helping means favoring Emperor Yongyuan.

Even the possibility of pretending ignorance and doing nothing was blocked for him.

The words were left on Jiang Pu's desk, and there was no reason why he couldn't see them.

It seems that King Zheng also wants to force him to express his position.

Li Xuan went straight back to Emperor Yongyuan and found that Princess Ankang had gone back to rest.

They had been traveling for a day and a night and really needed to have a good rest, otherwise they would not be able to hold on for the rest of the journey.

In other words, Li Xuan is in good health and is still working here as a spy.

When he came to see Emperor Yongyuan, the two general managers were also there.

It seems that the entire Imperial Household Department is destined to be treated like beasts of burden.

"Ah Xuan, you're back so soon?"

Emperor Yongyuan was surprised.

"Something's happening, meow!"

Li Xuan didn't say anything more and immediately repeated the words that the Thousand Vine Demon Girl controlled the vines to leave on Jiang Pu's desk.

After hearing the news, Emperor Yongyuan actually applauded.

"Okay, King Zheng is anxious!"

Zhao Feng on the side also echoed: "It is indeed below the level of the King of Zheng. It seems that your majesty's isolation from the outside world has worked."

From the first day when he eliminated the secret guards near the post station, Emperor Yongyuan worked hard to isolate Prince Zheng from the outside world, making it impossible for him to do anything except follow the southern tour team.

As the news became less accessible, it seemed that King Zheng's mentality had gradually changed.

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but think of the methods used by Thousand Vine Demon Princess before.

"Are you sure King Zheng has been isolated, meow?"

Everyone present was smart and immediately understood what Li Xuan meant.

Emperor Yongyuan immediately turned his attention to Zhao Feng.

Chief Steward Shang had been following Princess Ankang's team over the past few days, so he was not clear about the supervision on King Zheng's side.

Zhao Feng's confidence couldn't help but waver. He didn't dare to give Emperor Yongyuan a firm answer, but quietly shed a drop of cold sweat.

Emperor Yongyuan raised his hand and stopped asking questions. Instead, he instructed:

"Strengthen supervision. Now that we know about this method, we must guard against it strictly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Feng obeyed the order loudly.

He had not considered before that there would be someone around King Zheng who could deliver messages in this way.

Although they kept Prince Zheng and a group of officials under strict surveillance, the flowery-robed eunuchs of the Imperial Household Department would not pay too much attention to this tiny plant.

If the other party communicated secretly through the vines, they might really be missed.

But now that Li Xuan has reminded them once, he naturally cannot allow this kind of communication to succeed again.

But just as Emperor Yongyuan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something.

"No, let's wait for this matter."

"What does your majesty mean?" Zhao Feng asked nervously.

Emperor Yongyuan rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said:

"Wait for Jiang Pu's reaction first."

"It would be best if he didn't respond. This would be enough to show that he rejects King Zheng's attitude. Even if he just wants to remain neutral, it is an acceptable answer for me."

"But if he..."

Before Emperor Yongyuan finished speaking, someone came to report from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Magistrate Jiang said he wants to see you regarding something important."

This announcement caused silence in the room.

Li Xuan clearly saw that Emperor Yongyuan's face darkened.

He lowered his head silently to suppress his laughter, thinking to himself:

"This guy came here directly after seeing the words."

"There's no time to hesitate."

Emperor Yongyuan's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he held his breath and said to the outside world:

"Xuan!"

Emperor Yongyuan then waved to them.

Li Xuan and the two stewards tactfully went to the back and temporarily avoided the situation.

The two of them and the cat finally came to a private place and felt a little more casual.

Zhao Feng complained immediately: "Ah Xuan, you found a difficult problem for me as soon as you came back." "This King Zheng is the same, he also found a master who plays with vines."

Zhao Feng has been in charge of the high-intensity work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs recently, and it is not easy for him to look after Prince Zheng.

Now, we have to pay attention to those small plants that are everywhere.

Li Xuan grinned and didn't care at all.

He also knew that Zhao Feng was just speaking casually.

"Feng'er, let's talk about these past few days."

"After we split up, is everything going well for you and His Majesty?"

asked Manager Shang.

"Godfather, we are fine here. With His Majesty here, the captured officials can only accept their fate."

"Your Majesty did not give them a chance to make a comeback. They were all dealt with severely. It can be said that they were killed along the way."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

“But as the southern tour progressed, the resistance became greater and greater.”

"Not only in the officialdom, but even the local aristocratic families have begun to get involved. It would not be good for Your Majesty to uproot them now."

Zhao Feng shook his head slightly.

But Manager Shang couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this.

These eunuchs in the palace were originally of humble origins and had long been disgusted with those wealthy families.

"It is not the right time yet. Once we have dealt with King Zheng, it will be time to deal with them."

The two stewards knew very well that it was impossible to completely eliminate the aristocratic families.

Each time they can only kill one group and then win over another group. In this way, there will be peace for a few decades, and then the cycle will continue.

Every purge of aristocratic families is a carnival for their faction in the palace. Whoever can take charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at that time will be able to get the biggest piece of fat.

Now the faction of Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng is as stable as a rock in the Forbidden City. As long as they can get rid of King Zheng, they will have a huge opportunity.

When aristocratic families become large, they must be eliminated, and then the smaller families can be allowed to develop.

As the Son of Heaven, Emperor Yongyuan had to master the right measure in governing the country.

After a while, Emperor Yongyuan summoned them again.

Jiang Pu had already left, but Emperor Yongyuan still looked bad.

"Jiang Pu said that a group of rebels appeared outside the city, among whom there is a powerful third-grade master. Please send people to encircle and suppress them."

Li Xuan couldn't help but grin.

Emperor Yongyuan saw Li Xuan holding his stomach and laughing non-stop on his desk, and patted his butt impatiently.

"Stop laughing. Stop laughing."

"Jiang Pu, that old bastard, turned around and lied to me as soon as he received the order from King Zheng."

"This time I must teach him a lesson he will never forget."

Emperor Yongyuan clenched his fists so hard that they made crackling sounds.

"Didn't you ask me to send people to suppress the bandits?"

"I'll kill him in front of him!"

……

An hour later.

A group of people walked out of Jiaozhou City.

Among them were guides sent by the government office, and in addition there were masters from the palace led by Zhao Feng himself.

Dozens of eunuchs in flowery clothes, plus the chief monk Zhao Feng, were more than enough to deal with an ordinary third-rank warrior.

When Emperor Yongyuan sent out two general managers, Jiaozhou prefect Jiang Pu praised His Majesty for his wisdom, and then ordered people to take the team composed of these two top-third-rank masters to suppress the rebels.

Sixty miles north of Jiaozhou City, there is a cliff with dangerous terrain and few people.

Because some common medicinal herbs are produced there, it is well known to the local people.

The idea of ​​rebels is not groundless.

Since the great disaster in the south last year, many places in the south have raised the banner of rebellion.

Later, this trend also blew to the north, and the bandits who became bandits would give themselves a nice-sounding name in order to recruit people and expand their power.

As long as they don't go too far, local officials will turn a blind eye to them.

This has further encouraged this evil trend.

But this made it easier for Jiang Pu to deceive Emperor Yongyuan.

Rebels are something that will emerge on their own when they are needed, and when they are not needed they will become "insignificant petty bandits."

Standards have always been flexible and changeable in the Daxing officialdom.

So the standards are not important at all. What is important is to understand the intentions of your superiors.

And now Jiang Pu obviously took King Zheng's order as his own will.

This made Emperor Yongyuan very unhappy.

Li Xuan secretly followed the team out of the city, ready to provide support at any time.

Emperor Yongyuan said that he had prepared sufficient manpower, but he did not tell Li Xuanming.

He gave Li Xuan another task.

If the encirclement and suppression is not going well, let him help track down the enemy and make sure not to let them escape, or at least force them to use desperate moves.

You won't let it go until you've peeled off a layer of skin.

For this elite team, the sixty-mile journey was an easy task.

Soon they came to the so-called cliff.

Li Xuan hid in the woods and secretly observed the team.

The guide who was in charge of leading the way found that the place was so quiet that he couldn't even see a single person. He couldn't help but sweat profusely with anxiety.

He was just assigned by the government office to lead the way, and he had no idea what was going on.

All he knew was that these evil stars who came with him were the legendary Imperial Household Department, and if he offended them, he would definitely suffer badly.

"This, this is the cliff that Lord Jiang mentioned."

"But why are there no rebels?"

The guide was the most anxious of all the people present.

The two stewards knew what was going on, so they were not in a hurry at all.

The flowery eunuchs were also well-trained. They only needed to carry out their tasks and rarely thought about other things when their superiors were present.

Right now, they were just on guard in their surroundings, without any signs of agitation.

"Sir, this, this..."

The guide was so anxious that he didn't know how to explain it.

The two stewards ignored him completely.

At this time, Li Xuan's voice sounded in their ears.

"It's Qian Teng Mo Ji, and there are many secret guards."

Li Xuan used his perception to almost completely understand King Zheng's arrangements.

They hid very well indeed, but it was difficult to escape Li Xuan's perception.

Especially the Thousand Vine Demon Princess, her breath has been remembered by Li Xuan, and even if it is weak, Li Xuan will detect it.

For example, now, Thousand Vine Demon Princess is slowly spreading her Tao realm, enveloping all of them.

As the Dao realm unfolded, Li Xuan slowly retreated to prevent himself from being covered.

If he was covered by the Dao Realm, there was a high probability that he would be discovered by the Thousand Vine Demon Princess.

While Li Xuan was leaving the Dao Realm, he kept using voice transmission to remind the two managers of the other party's arrangements. It was like a real-time voice broadcast.

With Li Xuan's reminder, the two stewards have figured out each other's arrangements.

They dispatched two third-rank warriors and a large number of eunuchs in flowery clothes.

King Zheng sent out Qian Teng Mo Ji, a second-rank master, and a larger number of secret guards.

If the strength of both sides is really compared as it appears on the surface, Qian Teng Mo Ji can indeed lead the secret guards to defeat the teams led by the two general managers.

Unfortunately, this game of catching a turtle in a jar was a trick from the very beginning.

The next moment, blue-silver vines broke out from the ground, coiled around everyone, and instantly covered everyone on the cliff.

"Meet the enemy and kill them without mercy!"

Facing the attack, Zhao Feng took the lead and shouted orders.
