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

Chapter 738 A mixed bag of fish and dragons
"Ah Xuan, where did you go to play again?"

Princess Ankang, who had just finished her work, saw Li Xuan jump in from the window and land beside her. She quickly hugged him and caressed him for a while.

The two little guys rubbed their heads against each other for a long time before Yu'er asked them to go eat together.

During lunch, Li Xuan also inquired in detail about the current situation in Guanglin Prefecture.

When Emperor Yongyuan was weak, Princess Ankang was the one who handled various government affairs.

Therefore, she is familiar with these situations.

"After you pacify Hutou Mountain, all the rebels in Guanglin Prefecture will be suppressed."

"But within the Jiangnan Road, there are still some scattered rebels hiding from the government troops and robbing the people. But they won't be able to survive for more than a few days. These insignificant guerrillas will soon have their last bit of living space squeezed out."

"Duke Chen led his elite troops with unstoppable force. Almost all the toughest bones among the rebels were taken down by Duke Chen."

"My two brothers are responsible for wiping out the remaining rebels behind Duke Chen. With these two layers of scraping, the rebels will surely be wiped out."

After listening to Princess Ankang's words, Li Xuan had some understanding of the current situation.

Prior to this, he had discussed with Emperor Yongyuan and planned to march towards the front line bordering the desert, sweep away the rebels along the way, and then support Duke Hu who was deep behind enemy lines.

However, judging from the speed at which they are pacifying Jiangnan Road, the hope of being able to support Duke Hu is very slim.

"We have to find time to talk to them."

Li Xuan was eating with his brows slightly furrowed.

It is imperative to seek external assistance.

Otherwise, if they wanted to suppress all the rebels in Daxing with the power they had, it would probably take at least a year and a half.

They don't have that much time, and the desert can't just sit there and watch.

They are still unaware of the situation on the front line, so all they can do now is to do the job at hand well.

After lunch, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang went to meet the members of the Red Turban Team.

Wei Zhen and others have returned one after another.

They had previously been sending out invitations to heroes in the martial arts world, gathering fellow martial artists to work together to wipe out the Thousand Vine Demon Princess.

However, plans could not keep up with changes, and their decisive battle with King Zheng came ahead of schedule.

Moreover, Lu Ji fled the battlefield with Chun Jun and disappeared afterwards.

Even though subsequent rebellions broke out, Li Xuan never heard from these two people again.

As for Bai Minglang, the person he feared the most, he has now disappeared.

This guy possesses the strength of a pseudo-heavenly realm. Although he was seriously injured when he left, Li Xuan was still worried.

When driving Bai Minglang away, Li Xuan threatened him that if Bai Minglang appeared in Daxing again, he would hunt him down to death.

I hope that the threat from me, the one with destiny, can make him feel afraid.

When they arrived at the inn in the city, they met the members of the Red Scarf Team whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

In addition to the familiar faces, there were actually quite a few new faces in the crowd.

Li Xuan had heard about this matter from Princess Ankang.

After the Red Turban team members spread the news about Thousand Vine Demon Princess, they happened to encounter rebels on their way back.

In the world, many people have indeed heard of the Red Scarf Team, but even more people are very unfamiliar with them.

After all, their force was established not long ago and they are mainly active in the capital.

Outside of the capital, its influence is indeed somewhat insufficient.

Only those young knights who had participated in the activities of the Red Scarf Team would mention this emerging force to their fellow disciples after returning to their respective sects.

Therefore, many people are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the news that Thousand Vine Demon Princess is returning to the arena.

After all, they didn't quite know where the Red Turban Team came from.

Moreover, he caused such a big stir in the underworld right from the start.

No one knows what their intentions are.

But suddenly rebellions broke out in Daxing and chaos ensued.

Only then did they begin to trust the Red Scarf Team's news.

If there wasn't something really big happening, how could there be chaos on this scale?

Compared with the endless stream of rebel forces, the return of Thousand Vine Demon Princess is not considered shocking news.

Therefore, heroes from all walks of life responded to the call of the Red Scarf Team. Although their numbers were small, they were all skilled and courageous warriors.

When the two armies were facing each other, they really couldn't help much.

But when it comes to special operations such as decapitation, ambush and inside operations, he is very adept at it.

On the way to the provincial capital, they also helped the officers and soldiers a lot.

As the captain of the Red Scarf Team, Princess Ankang thanked them for responding to the call of the Red Scarf Team, and then planned to discuss the next action plan together.

These people from the martial arts world need someone to guide their power, otherwise they will just be a group of guerrillas and will never achieve anything great.

But before Princess Ankang could get to the point, someone interrupted her:
"This princess."

The person who spoke was a stranger, obviously a chivalrous warrior who responded to the call and came to support.

This man had a rough appearance, a full beard, a leopard head and round eyes. One could tell at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.

"Please speak up, my knight. Today we can speak freely and set a course for future actions."

Princess Ankang did not care about this person interrupting her, but instead asked him to continue speaking in a reasonable manner.

Seeing that Princess Ankang was so easy to talk to, the bearded man felt even more disrespectful.

In his opinion, Princess Ankang was just a little girl who was still wet behind the ears and was relying on her status as a princess to satisfy her desire to be a hero in the world.

They were all well-known figures in the martial arts world, so naturally they were unwilling to be commanded by a little girl like Princess Ankang.

In his opinion, Princess Ankang's tone was so cowardly before he could even scare her.

It seems that if I speak a little more sternly later, this little princess will give up.

These people in the underworld have always claimed that they are not on the same side as the imperial court.

In private, they always insult those who come from underworld backgrounds but work for the government by calling them the court's lackeys.

"We all came here because of the matter of the Thousand Vine Demon Princess, but now we don't see this female demon. We only see countless rebels rising up in various places to resist the court."

"We are people of the underworld, and we only care about underworld matters."

"This rebellion is obviously under the control of the imperial court. Isn't it against the rules for people like us to take action?"

"When we see injustice, we draw our swords and help. Isn't that what people like us should do?" Princess Ankang asked with a smile.

"Oh, Your Highness the Princess also thinks she is a quack?"

Princess Ankang nodded: "As long as one has chivalry in his heart, no matter what his identity or ability is, he can be considered a Jianghu person."

"Of course, this is just my opinion."

"If others have different views, that's understandable."

Princess Ankang still maintained a calm attitude.

She could clearly feel that the bearded man in front of her was not friendly to her.

This is also a matter of course.

After all, she was a royal princess and so young, and she was not as famous as Princess Yan, who was not well-known in the world.

It is naturally not easy for her, an unknown little princess, to command others.

But Princess Ankang has also experienced a lot of hardships during this period and has made considerable growth in all aspects.

With Princess Ankang's current temperament, she can still maintain her composure in the face of these impolite people from the martial arts world.

But the more Princess Ankang said this, the more those who disagreed with her felt that these were all her sophistry.

They heard nothing from Princess Ankang's words except that she herself admitted that she had no ability.

"Since Her Royal Highness Princess admits that she is a Jianghu person, then the Red Scarf Team has summoned us to discuss the magic path. We should elect a leader according to the rules of the Jianghu."

"After all, this is a matter of life and death. We dare not hand over our lives to some incompetent people casually."

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the Red Scarf Team glared at the bearded man.

Especially Wei Zhen's gaze, which made the bearded man feel terrified.

The pressure of a fourth-rank master is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Among all the people present, Wei Zhen's strength is already top-notch.

Most of the heroes present were independent people and did not come from any famous sects.

But it is also for this reason that their actions can be more arbitrary.

Most of the first group of heroes who responded to the call of the Red Scarf Team were independent warriors like them.

Of course, Qianren Sword Pavilion, which arrived one step ahead, was not among them.

Their sect was keen on doing justice and also had flying mounts, which was why they were able to get to Guanglin Prefecture so quickly.

But when there are so many people, and good and bad people are mixed together, it becomes even more difficult for everyone to be united.

In particular, many of them did not come simply to help, but habitually came to join in the fun and see if there was any benefit to be gained.

Princess Ankang looked the bearded man up and down, then asked uncertainly, "Does this knight want to duel with me?"

In front of these people in the martial arts world, Princess Ankang deliberately did not refer to herself as "this palace" in order to avoid making both sides feel distant.

But now it seems that this is not a problem that can be changed simply by paying attention to words.

"Your Highness, Princess, do you dare to accept my challenge?" the bearded man asked with contempt.

"Hey, I advise you to be more polite."

Wei Zhen could no longer bear it, so he pointed at the bearded man and roared.

The bearded man trembled all over at Wei Zhen's roar.

But he soon realized that he had lost face, and anger suddenly surged in his heart.

Without Princess Ankang's prior instruction, Wei Zhen did not dare to act on his own.

But if we allow this person to continue to be so arrogant, not only will the Red Turban Team's reputation be damaged, but also the prestige of the royal family.

Wei Zhen despised this kind of people the most.

If you don't want to help, don't come. If you come, don't work hard. Before you can really achieve any results, you are eager to rank everyone according to seniority. It's really vulgar!
Isn't it just that he saw Princess Ankang as easy to bully, so he wanted to be the first to stand out and enhance his own reputation?

Those of them who are in the underworld care about this false reputation the most.

Wei Zhen saw through this man's plan at a glance.

The bearded man wanted to become famous by stepping on Princess Ankang, without even considering whose territory this is.

Wei Zhen's aggressive look immediately suppressed the bearded man's anger, and frightened him so much that his mouth became dry.

The bearded man swallowed nervously, then puffed out his chest and replied in a stern voice:
"Why? Just now, Your Highness the Princess allowed me to speak freely. Now that I said something unpleasant, you want me to shut up again?"

"I think this Red Scarf Team is nothing special. Not only is it just a name, but it also wants to take advantage of this chaos to become famous. Don't you think you have the ability to do this?"

"People with different ideals cannot work together. I, Three-Handed Miao Zhentian, will take my leave now!" The bearded man suddenly started shouting loudly, especially shouting his own name which was deafening.

Li Xuan listened for a long time and finally couldn't help but secretly complained:
"What are these names?"

As soon as Li Xuan heard it, he knew that this guy had not been to school for many days.

He has been struggling for a long time, probably just for this moment.

But playing such tricks in front of a little girl is really asking for trouble.

In Li Xuan's eyes, the strength of this bearded man was obvious at a glance.

"He is at the peak of the seventh rank, not even at the middle third rank, yet he dares to be so arrogant."

Li Xuan looked unfriendly.

If he wanted to, he could take this person's life silently.

But he did not intervene, as he believed Princess Ankang could handle it herself.

"Wait a minute!"

Princess Ankang stopped the bearded man who was about to leave his title and run away.

The members of the Red Scarf Team also tacitly blocked this person and prevented him from leaving.

"Why, is this a Hongmen Banquet?"

Seeing that the people from the Red Scarf Team seemed to be about to use violence against him, he immediately stiffened his neck and shouted loudly, looking fearless.

But Li Xuan clearly sensed that this person's heartbeat had begun to accelerate uncontrollably, and he was far from being as calm as he appeared.

"Aren't they all good people from the Red Scarf Team?"

The bearded man began to murmur in his heart.

If he didn't have the confidence, how could he dare to do this?

If Li Xuan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely slam the table.

"Do good people have to be pointed at guns?"

The bearded man panicked for a moment, but when he saw many fellow martial artists watching from the sidelines, he immediately regained his confidence.

"There are so many heroes here, I don't believe you Red Scarf Team dare to mess around!"

When he shouted like that, the faces of the Red Scarf Team members all turned ugly.

The Red Turban Team has finally made some progress under the management of Princess Ankang, and we cannot let this kind of villain ruin its reputation.

At this point, they couldn't stop it, nor could they not stop it.

Seeing that the Red Turban Team was intimidated by him, the bearded man became even more arrogant.

But before he could say anything more, Princess Ankang's voice sounded coldly behind him:
"I accept your challenge. What do you want to compete in? Just tell me."

This time, Princess Ankang was obviously not as polite as before.

After Princess Ankang said this, the members of the Red Scarf Team seemed to have found their backbone. They stood firmly in front of the bearded man and looked at him unfriendlyly.

"Okay, this is what you said, don't blame me for bullying you."

Seeing that this approach was blocked, the bearded man immediately turned around and started yelling at Princess Ankang.

"In this way, I won't bully children."

"I throw ten stones at you. If you can dodge one, you win."

"how?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two strange noises were heard.

"Pfft."

"Kukuku..."

The bearded man looked in the direction of the sound and found that the people making the noise were a black cat and a palace maid.

He didn't want to argue with the beast, fearing that people would think he was mentally ill, so he just showed off his power to Yu'er:
"You slut, you dare to interrupt me when I'm talking to your master. Do you have any rules?"

The bearded man's words completely offended the three little ones.

"Stop talking nonsense and get started!"

Princess Ankang's face also turned cold.

The little girl's expression and tone were usually very gentle, and this sudden anger made her look cold and frosty.

The bearded man was startled by Princess Ankang's expression, but then became even angrier.

"Hmph, remember, the person who will teach you a lesson today is called Three-Handed Miao Zhentian!"

"Such an ugly name simply pollutes my ears."

Princess Ankang's words almost made Miao Zhentian so angry that his nose was crooked.

He spent half a year thinking hard before coming up with this name, and he even changed his name on purpose.

"That's unreasonable!"

Miao Zhentian was extremely angry. He took out ten locust stones and shot them at Princess Ankang.

Everyone else present looked over.

The members of the Red Scarf Team were nervous, while the other warriors wanted to see if the little princess was really capable of being worthy of the title of captain.

If Princess Ankang's strength is disappointing, then the call of the Red Scarf Team this time is nothing more than a joke.

Princess Ankang looked at the slowly flying locust stone and even had time to sigh.

She suddenly stretched out her right hand and grabbed forward, and the locust stone disappeared in an instant.

Many people's eyes lit up and their eyes towards Princess Ankang suddenly changed.

Miao Zhentian was confused and hadn't figured out the situation yet.

At this time, Princess Ankang stretched out her right hand, and the locust stone shot back at a faster speed.

Miao Zhentian had no time to react before he felt someone pulling him hard from behind, knocking him against the wall.

There was a sudden gasp in the inn.

The ten locust stones hit the outline of Miao Zhentian's clothes and sent him flying backwards.

The locust stone carried a lot of force, but it did not penetrate the clothes. It just made the person fly backwards. The control was shocking.

The wanderers who were not familiar with Princess Ankang immediately looked at her with surprise.

"A hidden weapon expert!?"

"I didn't expect that there is such a genius in the Daxing royal family."

"With Princess Yan Zhao in front and Princess Ankang in the back, the royal family's background is truly extraordinary."

"The strength to kill a seventh-rank master in one second?"

The martial artists who had been sitting on the sidelines and watching had been kept silent, and their hearts were filled with turmoil. They looked at each other and exchanged glances.

In the martial arts world, the peak of the seventh rank is already considered to be above the level of third-rate masters, and is at least considered to be well-known.

Although Miao Zhentian's name is not well-known, there are still people who have heard of him.

This man was nicknamed Three Hands because he could shoot hidden weapons so quickly.

But Princess Ankang's hidden weapon skills are obviously much stronger than Miao Zhentian's, and they are simply incomparable.

Miao Zhentian was hung on the wall in public by Princess Ankang, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

But he struggled hard, only to find that he could not escape from the Locust Stone.

These locust stones were deeply embedded in the wall. Seeing that he could not break free from the locust stones, Miao Zhentian was so anxious that he tore his clothes and climbed down the wall.

As soon as he got away, he shouted, "You lose, you lose!"

Everyone was stunned, thinking that Miao Zhentian had been stimulated and gone crazy.

"We agreed earlier that if you dodge one of my attacks, you win, but you didn't dodge any of my attacks, so do you lose?"

Miao Zhentian questioned angrily, obviously having lost all his dignity.

After hearing Miao Zhentian's remarks, even his fellow martial artists could not help but shake their heads, ashamed to be associated with him.

Princess Ankang said nothing, but just raised her hand and counted her fingers.

I saw that there was a round stone on her finger.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood what Princess Ankang meant.

Miao Zhentian also immediately perked up and tried to regain some face.

But the next moment, he heard a loud thunder above his head, his scalp felt numb, and he was so scared that he stood there in a daze.

The stone in Princess Ankang's hand has disappeared.

A bowl-sized hole appeared on the wall above Miao Zhentian's head, with a round stone quietly embedded in the hole.

"This……"

Some people couldn't help but exclaimed.

This is a stone brick wall, not a wooden wall.

It takes a lot of force for a hidden weapon to be so powerful.

Everyone looked at Princess Ankang, whose cultivation level showed no signs of fluctuation, and they immediately realized that she must have a treasure that could shield her aura or had practiced some advanced breath-concealing technique.

From then on, no one dared to underestimate Princess Ankang.

"I see. No wonder she is the captain."

At first, everyone thought that Princess Ankang was a useless person, and only because of her noble status did she get the title of captain of the Red Scarf Team.

That doesn't seem to be the case now.

The strength displayed by Princess Ankang would rank her among the top players even in the martial arts world.

Above them are the top three masters, who are not even within the scope of their usual discussions.

After all, most of the warriors in the martial arts world are still those of the middle to third rank.

Unless they have offended some big sect, there wouldn't be so many wild top-three-grade creatures running around outside.

Miao Zhentian raised his eyes and saw the scene above his head. His legs trembled suddenly and he was filled with fear.

"Go away, or I'll smash your head off with the next shot."

Princess Ankang said coldly.

Miao Zhentian suddenly collapsed to the ground and couldn't stand up.

"see a visitor out."

Seeing that he couldn't even stand up, Princess Ankang gave the order directly.

Someone from the Red Scarf Team came out and tried to carry Miao Zhentian away, but at this moment, someone spoke up to stop them:
"Wait!"
