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

Chapter 720 Taking orders in times of danger
Bang, bang, bang...

The sound of the earth shaking came from afar and gradually approached the inn.

After a while, a huge Vajra shadow slowly walked to the gate of the inn.

When Hou Zhongguo saw unidentified people approaching, he immediately became alert.

The stone statue of the soldier moved according to his thoughts and tightened the long spear in his hand.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as the two sides were about to fight, Master Shanle's voice rang out.

"Chengche, everything is over."

"King Zheng has been defeated!"

Only then did Monk Chengche see Master Shanliao and others.

It seemed that he was also alarmed by the commotion tonight.

"it's over?"

There was confusion in Monk Chengche's tone.

"Yes, they are all from the Daxing government and are Xuan's friends."

Master Chenghai also stepped forward to explain.

Monk Chengche was not in a good state before, and they were afraid that he would make another big mistake at this critical moment.

They had finally defeated King Zheng tonight, and there couldn't be any more mistakes.

Monk Chengche looked down at the crowd and found that everyone was looking at him, but no one attacked him.

Out of trust in Master Shanliao and Master Chenghai, Monk Chengche removed his Vajra Shadow.

He was also very tired tonight.

Monk Chengche was originally resting in the inn, but later heard that there was a riot in the city, so he went out to check it out. Then he ran into King Zheng's men who were killing and burning in the city.

Of course, he couldn't let this happen before his eyes, so he immediately joined the battle.

There are many gangsters like him who are involved in the riot tonight.

If they were not still fighting with King Zheng's men in the city, the riot would have been more serious and the situation at the post station would have been even more severe.

Prince Zheng overestimated his own strength. He thought he was sure to win and could easily defeat Emperor Yongyuan, and then turn around and suppress the city with ease.

But he never expected that he would never have the chance to come back.

Meteorite Crater became his burial place.

As Monk Chengche released the Vajra Shadow, the stone statues of the soldiers also let go of the long spears in their hands and stood beside them.

As a group of top three-rank masters followed Chilong back to the capital city, the riots in the city no longer posed a threat.

The red dragon's previous roar had already killed most of the villains in the city.

The rest of the fish that slip through the net will not be able to make any progress and will be suppressed quickly.

However, Emperor Yongyuan and Li Xuan are both in a coma, and no one can take charge of the situation.

At this time, the stone statue of the soldier suddenly knelt down and saluted Princess Ankang:

"Your Highness Ankang, His Majesty has previously instructed that if the current situation occurs, please take over the command immediately and restore order in the city."

Hou Zhongguo's voice echoed inside the stone statue of the soldier.

Princess Ankang was worried about Li Xuan and was stunned when she heard this.

But when she turned around and scanned the crowd, she found that everyone was looking at her silently.

There was expectation and anxiety in their eyes that was hard to describe.

"Duke Chen, please lead the government soldiers to suppress the riots in the city, and ask the government to send people to assist you."

"Any local official who disobeys orders will be executed first and reported later!"

Princess Ankang waved her hand vigorously with a cold tone.

Princess Ankang knew exactly what the attitude of the local government was.

If they continue to pretend to be submissive at this moment, Princess Ankang will have no choice but to purge them.

There is no need for a fool who cannot see the situation clearly to stay.

Anyway, the riot tonight was big enough, and she didn't mind causing more casualties.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Hou Zhongguo immediately took the order and left.

Princess Ankang then bowed to the top three masters and said:
"Everyone, there may still be remnants of King Zheng in the city. Please search them and cooperate with Duke Chen to clear the obstacles in the city."

In the previous battle, most of the third-rank warriors were dealt with by Princess Yanyan and Wei Changli.

But those masters only came to besiege the post station, it is hard to say whether there are still some in the city.

Although Hou Zhongguo has a battle formation, the top three masters are more flexible and can come and go freely. In addition, Hou Zhongguo has many soldiers under his command. It would be bad if there were large-scale casualties again.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Leave these matters to us."

Because the previous battle involved the power of the Heavenly Dao Realm, they had been spectators for a long time and the fight was not very enjoyable, so they still had some strength left.

Master Shanliao and Master Chenghai brought Monk Chengche with them, and Taoist Priest Sanxi also followed them to resolve the hidden dangers in the city.

Nirubel was exhausted and no longer had the strength to continue, so she stayed in the inn to rest.

Wang Xi and others also need to guard Emperor Yongyuan, and their conditions are not much better.

In order to maintain the Dragon Transformation Battle Formation, they had already begun to consume their own vitality. If Li Xuan had not intervened and added the power of Yin and Yang Qi, their fate would have been the same as the four masters on King Zheng's side.

Nilubaier watched Princess Ankang giving orders in an orderly manner, and said to Sharon beside her:

"This little princess looks weak, but she actually has some courage."

Sharon smiled slightly: "Her Highness's ability is not limited to this. Even though I have not had much contact with Her Highness, I can see that she is a very outstanding child."

"Only a princess like this could be connected with Master Xuan."

Nirubel looked at her senior sister beside her and couldn't help but frowned.

"Your strength has recovered to the third level?"

Although Nirubel had expected that Sharon would recover her skills quickly, she did not expect it to be so fast.

Sharon naturally understood what surprised Nirubel, and immediately showed the cat's paw mark on the back of her hand, and then explained:
"I just temporarily borrowed the power of Master Xuan."

"But this opportunity has also brought me a lot of benefits. It shouldn't be a problem to stabilize my fourth-grade realm after tonight."

Nirubel raised her eyebrows and looked at the cat's claw mark on the back of Sharon's hand thoughtfully, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

"This is?"

Nirubel asked curiously.

"It is the power that Master Xuan left in my body. Master Xuan can sense it on weekdays. In times of crisis, I can also use the Yin and Yang Qi inside, but the amount of Yin and Yang Qi is limited."

After listening to Sharon's explanation, Nirubel couldn't take her eyes away.

Sharon knew her junior sister's temper very well and naturally knew what she was thinking.

"When Master Xuan wakes up, you can go and ask for one too."

"I think you have helped a lot this time. Master Xuan might agree to your request."

When this matter is brought up, Nirubel has something to say.

"Senior Sister, you don't know how much I spent this time..."

Sharon smiled and listened patiently to Nirubel's chatter.

Although Nirubel was also very tired, she managed to hold on and not fall asleep.

In the current situation, there has to be someone watching over the place, otherwise if anything unexpected happens, there will be no one to take responsibility.

Secondly, this is someone else's territory after all, and Nirubel dare not be careless, so she chooses to stay with Sharon, whom she trusts the most.

……

A few days later.

Li Xuan and Emperor Yongyuan still haven't woken up.

But their condition has stabilized and their lives are not in danger. They just need enough sleep to restore their strength.

After a night of turmoil, Guanglin Prefecture quickly returned to peace under the command of Princess Ankang.

But the riots in Guanglin Prefecture were just the beginning.

Since King Zheng was executed in the Meteorite Dragon Pit, various disasters have occurred in various places.

Among them, the man-eating locusts were the worst, spreading throughout the entire Jiangnan Road almost overnight.

It seems that before leaving the city, King Zheng had secretly made a lot of preparations in the name of controlling the locust plague.

In addition, rebels and bandits emerged in various places, and they were powerful. These forces were probably supported by King Zheng, and they were spread throughout Daxing, not just limited to Jiangnan Road.

Princess Ankang had been in the city for a few days when she received various emergency documents from the north.

These rebel bandits even dared to openly attack the city, which was extremely bold.

But this sudden rebellion was clearly abnormal.

I'm afraid these people have already learned of King Zheng's failure, or they have made an agreement in advance that if King Zheng fails, they will immediately jump out and rebel.

Princess Ankang had never seen such a situation before. Even with the help of Duke Chen and her brothers, she still felt at a loss.

As for the civil servants, they were all detained and Princess Ankang did not dare to use any of them.

Princess Ankang knew exactly how King Zheng's disaster came about.

If these civil servants had not sided with King Zheng, Daxing would probably not be in its current situation.

"Duke Chen, what suggestions do you have for the current situation?"

Princess Ankang looked at the emergency documents on the table, held her forehead with her hand as she felt a headache, and asked Hou Zhongguo for his opinion.

"Your Highness, you can rest assured about the rebellion in the north for now. A few dukes will guard the border and will be able to suppress the nearby rebellion as soon as they turn around."

"We also have Duke Su in Luodong City. It won't be a problem to deter the scoundrels around here."

"Right now, we just need to maintain the situation in Jiangnan Road and wait for His Majesty to wake up."

"When your majesty personally announces the death of King Zheng, these bandits will fall apart on their own. Those who know what's best for them will flee from Daxing, and those who don't will be wiped out by our army."

Hou Zhongguo calmly analyzed the current situation for Princess Ankang.

But looking at the urgent reports on the table, Princess Ankang found it hard to feel at ease.

Only then did she understand why her father was always so serious and habitually rubbed his brows.

There are too many things for an emperor to worry about.

Any document on the desk may affect the fate of thousands of people. This kind of responsibility is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Princess Ankang felt exhausted just by temporarily taking over the situation in Guanglin Prefecture.

If it were like this 365 days a year, who would want to be the emperor?

She has sent people to the Meteorite Dragon Crater to bring back the two stewards.

Without the two of them, the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot be fully mobilized.

Princess Ankang really needs their help now.

As for the Meteorite Dragon Crater, there has been no movement in the past few days. I only heard that the evil dragon would come out and curse every day, disturbing the area for several miles around.

But Princess Ankang has sent people to guard the place strictly and no outsiders are allowed to approach.

With the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince leading the troops personally, and the Buddhist monk Chengche also in charge, plus Tang Nu who was already there, there shouldn't be any problem.

Now, with a top master like Nirubair in charge of the city, there is no need to worry about safety.

But these masters are outsiders to Daxing after all.

They were all brought by Li Xuan to participate in this battle. It would obviously be inappropriate to let them continue to be involved in suppressing the rebellion in Daxing.

The three masters, Taoist Priest Sanxi, and Zhenyi are all monks from Buddhism and Taoism.

The only forces Princess Ankang can mobilize now are the Imperial Household Department and the Red Turban Team.

Fortunately, almost all of the high-end combat forces of King Zheng’s remnants were wiped out.

Only Bai Minglang, Lu Ji and Chun Jun ran away.

The reason why Nirubel stayed in the capital city was actually to guard against them.

Although these three people were seriously injured in the battle, if they come back, they will be a considerable threat.

Princess Ankang discussed some details with Duke Chen and then temporarily finished the matters at hand.

Many officials in the government office refused to cooperate, and Duke Chen killed many of them that night.

Under the threat of the butcher's knife, these people dared not act recklessly, but there were also many frictions in their cooperation.

Princess Ankang killed a group of people and promoted another group, but the effect was limited and could only last for a while.

"Alas, I don't know when Xuan and Father will wake up."

Princess Ankang felt a throbbing pain in her head.

These past few days, she didn't even notice that her brows were always furrowed and almost wrinkled.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

At this time, Yu'er's voice came from outside.

Yu'er ran in hurriedly from outside.

"Your Highness, Xuan is awake!"

Yu'er brought good news to Princess Ankang.

"Really? Take me to see it."

Princess Ankang pushed the documents on the table and immediately followed Yu'er back to the room.

In the room, Sharon and Nirubel were standing by the bed.

On the bed, Li Xuan's small body occupied the entire bed.

He was looking up and drinking water heroically.

After sleeping for several days, his throat was almost smoking.

"Axuan, Axuan..."

Li Xuan's ears pricked up as he heard a familiar call.

"what--"

He threw the empty water bag back into the Dihong bone ring and turned to look at the door.

Princess Ankang jumped into the room and threw herself onto the bed.

It must be that the little girl has good physical fitness, otherwise most people would not be able to jump so far.

Li Xuan was hugged into Princess Ankang's arms. The little girl rubbed Li Xuan's head with her face, causing his expression to twist.

"Ah Xuan, you finally woke up."

"Do you know how worried I have been about you these days?"

"Don't scare me again in the future."

Princess Ankang said this, pecked Li Xuan on the head twice, then hugged him without saying anything.

Li Xuan knew that the little girl was worried about him, so he just let her hold him obediently, enjoying the rare peace.

Sharon and Nirubel watched this scene with envy.

"By the way, is your father awake?"

After a long time, Li Xuan finally remembered the important matter and asked Princess Ankang.

"not yet."

"But his life is not in danger, he just needs enough rest."

Li Xuan shook his head silently and said to Princess Ankang:

"Take me to him immediately."

Emperor Yongyuan must wake up as soon as possible. After all, he is the emperor of Daxing, and there are some things that require his intervention.

And it is time to give an explanation to the people of the world so that they know who the real winner of this civil war is.

"Ah."

Princess Ankang nodded and took Li Xuan to Emperor Yongyuan's room.

They were all in the post house and the distance between them was not far.

But at this moment, Li Xuan silently raised his head in Princess Ankang's arms and looked at the distant sky.

"Who is it again?"

Li Xuan was nervous but he remained calm.

In his sight, there was a black spot in the distant sky that was constantly getting bigger.

Li Xuan concentrated his perception, and the black spot became clearer in his eyes.

He found that it was a huge purple eagle, emitting a metallic luster all over its body, and it did not look like a living creature at all.

And on the back of the giant purple eagle, several human figures appeared faintly.

They all seemed to have swords on their backs, and some of them had more than one.
