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

Chapter 676 That’s what it means
After Li Xuan and others left the government office, they went after the southern touring team.

They were all experts on this trip, so it was natural for them to travel easily, and it was no problem for them to catch up with Emperor Yongyuan's southern tour team.

Several people leisurely used their Qinggong skills, and their speed was much faster than that of a fast horse. Moreover, they ignored the terrain and could go straight to catch up with the southern tour team in front.

"Butler Shang, is what I said to Jiang Pu earlier okay?"

Wei Zhen was just concerned about his momentary pleasure and forgot to think about the possible consequences.

Although what he told Jiang Pu was the truth.

The three ghosts of Hanhe failed, and King Zheng couldn't send any better men for the time being.

There was still half a sentence that Wei Zhen didn't say.

If a more powerful master was really sent, Emperor Yongyuan would not have the leisure to send someone else to protect him.

Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng were in the southern tour together. On the surface, they seemed to be on good terms with each other, but secretly they were at loggerheads with each other.

If anyone is even slightly careless, everything may end in failure.

"Wei Zhen, don't worry."

"Jiang Pu is nothing more than a chess piece of little use."

"Using him as bait once is already a complete use. He is lucky to have survived this disaster. He is very lucky."

Manager Shang's tone was also full of disdain for Jiang Pu.

Wei Zhen and Zhao Feng are of the same generation, so there is nothing wrong with General Shang calling Wei Zhen by his first name.

"That's good. I was really afraid of delaying His Majesty's important event." Wei Zhen scratched his head.

It can be seen that his personality is indeed not suitable for staying in the palace. Instead, the identity of a hunting officer is more suitable for him.

"You."

Manager Shang smiled and shook his head without saying anything more.

He knew that Wei Zhen actually had the brains, but was just unwilling to use it.

This is a personal difference in temperament and it is difficult to force it.

At the beginning, Manager Shang did not accept Wei Zhen as his disciple, in fact, it was partly because of this reason.

Wei Zhen's talent in martial arts is pretty good, but his personality doesn't make him suitable for joining the Imperial Household Department.

"Manager Shang, did you guys drive away the three Hanhe ghosts?"

Wei Zhen asked curiously.

Shang looked at Wei Zhen, then glanced at Tang Nu, and then said calmly:
"died."

"Dead? All three are dead!" Wei Zhen was shocked.

The Three Ghosts of Hanhe are genuine third-rank warriors. Wei Zhen saw with his own eyes last night how they were controlled by Manager Shang’s illusion and felt their aura up close.

Although Wei Zhen was unwilling, he had to admit that that was not an enemy he could face.

Wei Zhen felt tremendous pressure just by standing in front of the three ghosts of Hanhe.

If this were a life-and-death fight, I'm afraid I would be even less able to resist.

However, as Wei Zhen looked at Manager Shang, Tang Nu, and Li Xuan, doubts gradually grew in his eyes.

Their strength is indeed strong, but as far as Wei Zhen knows, Chief Steward Shang has not yet reached the second rank.

Even if Li Xuan was extremely special and could fight across levels, it would only be three third-grades against three third-grades.

In this kind of battle, is it possible to completely annihilate the opponent with just the Dao realm that Shang can barely display?
Moreover, the fall of a top three rank person should have obvious signs of the Five Elements Cycle, but Jiaozhou City has been calm since last night, and no movement has been heard.

Seeing that Manager Shang took the initiative to bring up this matter, Tang Nu also cast a curious look at him.

He had heard about some of Li Xuan's magical powers from his master, but didn't know much.

Before this southern tour, Mr. Ye had a special talk with Tang Nu, asking him to find more opportunities to get close to Li Xuan on the road.

If you don't share the same interests with Li Xuan, don't let him hate you, and do your best to ensure his safety. I repeated this several times.

"Since the two of you can participate in this operation, His Majesty trusts you."

"There are some things that I should make clear to you, so that you don't make wild guesses and miss important things in the future."

As Manager Shang spoke, he waved his hand gently, creating a barrier around them.

"Ah Xuan has a special ability that allows him to draw strength from the Five Elements Reincarnation of fallen top three warriors. Doing so can also make the Five Elements Reincarnation that was supposed to happen disappear."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhen and Tang Nu were both shocked.

The cycle of the five elements is the general law of nature in this world.

This is like saying that Li Xuan can make the sun rise from the west by his own strength, which is ridiculous.

But after Tang Nu witnessed with his own eyes the death of the three ghosts of Hanhe last night, the Five Elements Reincarnation did not occur.

Therefore, he believed what Manager Shang said to about 80%.

Although Wei Zhen was shocked, he was a straightforward person and could not think of any reason why Manager Shang would lie to him, so he believed it immediately.

"Doctor Cat, you are too fierce!"

Li Xuan raised his head proudly, unable to suppress the smile.

It seems that the fact that he is very powerful can no longer be concealed.

Li Xuan raised a paw and waved it at Wei Zhen, trying to look humble.

"There is one more thing you need to remember."

As Manager Shang spoke, his expression turned serious.

Wei Zhen and Tang Nu also perked up.

It must be no small matter that could make Manager Shang behave like this.

"Ah Xuan is a man of destiny, and has already mastered the Yin-Yang Qi."

"As long as he is still here, there is still hope for Daxing."

Wei Zhen and Tang Nu were silent and looked at each other in surprise.

They all thought they had heard wrongly.

"The Chosen One..."

After a long time, Wei Zhen muttered to himself, and the look he gave Li Xuan seemed a little unreal.

"Butler Shang, are you talking about the Destined Ones like the Twin Saints?"

Manager Shang nodded silently with a serious expression.

"he?"

"Axuan?"

"a cat?"

Wei Zhen asked a series of questions, finding it hard to believe this fact.

Tang Nu also stared at Li Xuan with a complicated expression, but he was far from being as out of control as Wei Zhen.

"No wonder Master told me that."

At this moment, he remembered what Mr. Ye had told him before he left.

"Digest it slowly, but don't make such a fuss later." Manager Shang said to Wei Zhen.

"Only a few close confidants of your majesty know about this matter. You must not let anyone else know about it."

"do you understand?"

After saying this, Manager Shang removed the barrier that isolated the outside world.

He believed that the two of them could distinguish the priorities.

This matter was instructed by Emperor Yongyuan to General Shang before they took action.

In the future, Wei Zhen and Tang Nu will inevitably have to act together with Li Xuan.

If they don't understand Li Xuan's importance by then, they may make a wrong judgment.

Especially the southern tour was dangerous, there would always be times when they faced danger.

This is when they have to prioritize.

Therefore, we must make them understand the importance of Li Xuan.

On the way back, they didn't say much, but Wei Zhen and Tang Nu couldn't help but turn their eyes to Li Xuan. They knew that Li Xuan was extraordinary, but they didn't expect him to be so extraordinary.

Next, it took them less than a day to catch up with the southern tour team.

They followed behind first, and only went to report to Emperor Yongyuan after the southern touring team entered the city to rest.

When Emperor Yongyuan learned that he had eliminated three more third-rank masters under Prince Zheng, he couldn't help but wave his hand excitedly.

"Well, Jiang Pu is finally of some use."

Emperor Yongyuan said this and looked at Chief Steward Shang.

Butler Shang nodded implicitly.

Emperor Yongyuan then felt relieved and continued to ask Li Xuan:
"Ah Xuan, after you absorbed the Five Elements Reincarnation, how strong are you now?"

"The fourth level has been consolidated. It feels like it's in the middle to late stages." Li Xuan transmitted the message.

He actually had no idea of ​​his own strength.

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

Li Xuan's own strength is far stronger than that of warriors of the same level. He has no reliable reference and can only rely on his own feelings.

"That's enough. The martial arts realm cannot be forced. It's enough for you to have a certain ability to protect yourself."

It seems that Emperor Yongyuan did not expect Li Xuan to become a combat force immediately from the beginning.

Compared with Li Xuan's combat capability, Emperor Yongyuan valued his perception and hiding abilities more.

Moreover, Emperor Yongyuan was reluctant to let Li Xuan charge to the front line.

Naturally, there are masters from the Imperial Palace to do this kind of thing, so there is no need for Li Xuan to take the risk.

As long as Li Xuan is still around, the Daxing royal family still has a chance to make a comeback.

Emperor Yongyuan didn't tell anyone, but he was already prepared for the worst.

Otherwise, he would not have risked himself and Daxing Jiangshan this time.

"King Zheng has lost many men in succession. I think he will be more cautious in his future actions."

"Although we have successfully cut off his contact with the outside world, the people under his command will definitely find a way to contact him."

"When King Zheng finds out what happened recently, his expression will surely be very interesting."

A smile appeared on Emperor Yongyuan's face, and he was obviously looking forward to that scene.

"But next, King Zheng will become even crazier."

"If this continues, I'm not sure he can hold out until we reach Jiangnan Road."

Emperor Yongyuan's tone was very complicated.

It is hard to tell whether he expects King Zheng to take action in advance or hopes that King Zheng will continue to be patient.

Then, Emperor Yongyuan encouraged them again and let them go down to rest.

Li Xuan bid farewell to Shang Zongguan and others and went to find Princess Ankang immediately.

I was not here yesterday, so I don’t know how this little girl is doing.

He quickly found Princess Ankang's scent and followed it.

Emperor Yongyuan did not start killing people wherever he went.

There are also good and honest officials among local officials. Although there are not many, they do exist.

This has a lot to do with the chief officer. If the chief officer is honest, the people below him won't dare to go too far.

On normal days, there must be many of them who secretly curse their superiors for being conservative and blocking their way to wealth.

However, he was spared from death because of this southern tour.

The news that Emperor Yongyuan dealt with corrupt officials swiftly and decisively during his southern tour had spread.

At least it has been heard in various parts of the north, and after much research it has been confirmed to be true.

Since then, the entire northern officialdom has been in a state of panic.

Even in cities along the southern tour route, there were cases of people abandoning their officials and fleeing.

For those who abandoned their official positions and fled, Emperor Yongyuan immediately ordered local government offices to issue arrest warrants, and then dispatched young Jinshi scholars from the southern tour team to take up the posts.

These young scholars all knew that it would be dangerous for them to take up their posts, but as the saying goes, fortune and honor are sought in danger. In addition, Emperor Yongyuan also helped them contact the local garrisons to provide assistance at the right time.

If they want to mobilize the garrison, they naturally cannot do without the help of the noble group, and this is also the main task of the two dukes accompanying them this time.

Some local families do not obey the court's discipline, so at this time the two dukes have to step in.

They represent the interests of the entire Daxing noble group. Even those local families who are far away from the emperor have to think carefully and dare not act too recklessly.

But Emperor Yongyuan himself knew very well that he was only maintaining the situation temporarily.

If we don't solve the fundamental problem of King Zheng, all other efforts will be in vain.

Bailu County, where the southern tour team is resting today, is a relatively peaceful place.

The chief officer of this place was a good official. He just received some encouragement from Emperor Yongyuan and did not punish any officials in the county government. This was the only place without bloodshed on the way to the southern tour.

Li Xuan followed Princess Ankang's scent and found that she was with Princess Yanzhao.

Princess Yanzhao rarely stayed in her room to practice, but was drinking tea and chatting with Princess Ankang.

"Second sister, you have been traveling abroad for so many years, you should know a lot of big names in the martial arts world, right?"

"Have you also visited all the legendary martial arts holy places?"

In response to Princess Ankang's question, Princess Yanzhao nodded silently.

"Ankang, are you interested in the things happening in the martial arts world?" asked Princess Yan Zhao.

"Of course, of course. Ever since I was a child, I have particularly liked stories about chivalrous men and heroes who roamed the martial arts world." Princess Ankang answered casually.

"Just like the big devil who attacked the people in Jinghou County before." Princess Ankang changed the subject.

"A villain like this who takes human life lightly should be well-known in the underworld, right?"

"Did Second Princess recognize who the other person is?"

"I think that method is unusual, it should be very recognizable, right?"

Li Xuan heard a few words on the roof and knew what Princess Ankang was doing.

This little girl was very dedicated to the task assigned by Emperor Yongyuan. Before he came back, she went to Princess Yanzhao to get the ball rolling.

Princess Yan Zhao glanced at Princess An Kang, but she still answered honestly:

"The incident in Jinghou County should have been caused by Qian Teng Mo Ji."

"She was a demonic figure from many years ago, and she was quite powerful."

Princess Ankang smiled slightly awkwardly when she heard Princess Yanzhao's evaluation that a second-rank warrior was only "quite capable".

"I see. No wonder he acted so cruelly."

Princess Ankang nodded in agreement, and then stated the purpose of this trip:
"Second sister, you know a lot of people in the martial arts world and are well-informed. I wonder if this Thousand Vine Demon Princess has any enemies?"

Princess Ankang asked so directly that Princess Yanzhao's expression changed slightly.

"Ankang, I underestimated your Red Scarf Team. I didn't expect you to be so well-informed."

"Ok?"

There was a flash of confusion in Princess Ankang's eyes, but she pursed her lips tightly and held the expression on her face.

Seeing how calm she was, Princess Yan Zhao's guess was confirmed.

"It seems that you already know the news I spread in the martial arts world."

"Qian Teng Mo Ji had a bad reputation back then, and she must have a lot of blood debts."

"These creditors will naturally not remain indifferent when they hear the news that Qian Teng Mo Ji has reappeared in the world."

"only……"

Princess Yan Zhao paused with some embarrassment.

"It's just that I can't intervene directly in this matter, but it shouldn't be a problem for you to come forward."

Princess Ankang blinked her eyes and looked at Princess Yanzhao who was looking at her seriously.

Her little brain was working rapidly, and finally an idea came to her. She kept a calm expression and nodded to Princess Yan Zhao:
"Second sister, that's exactly what I meant."
