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

Chapter 740 Farewell
Li Xuan sensed that a familiar aura was rapidly approaching the city.

Princess Ankang noticed that Li Xuan was looking up at the sky and couldn't help asking him:

"What happened to Xuan?"

"Nilubaier is here. I don't know if there is any situation in the Meteorite Crater."

While Li Xuan was answering Princess Ankang, he couldn't help but feel worried.

After a while, Nirubel appeared in front of them.

"Lord Xuan, it's been a long time since we last met. Did you miss me?" Nirubel asked playfully.

"I've only been back for a few days." Li Xuan rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Don't you know that a day without seeing you is like a long time?"

Nilubaier teased.

"Tell me, is there something going on in the Meteorite Crater?"

Although Nilubai's relaxed attitude made Li Xuan know that there should not be any big problem, he was still a little worried.

"Master Xuan, don't worry. Everything is fine over at the Meteorite Crater."

Before Li Xuan could breathe a sigh of relief, Nilubaier continued:

"I came here today to say goodbye to Master Xuan."

Hearing this, the three little ones and Sharon were stunned.

"Where are you going."

Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Oops~"

"Master Xuan, are you reluctant to part with me?"

Nirubel was being particularly unruly today, and it was obvious that her intention to leave was not just talk.

"Master Xuan, I am the Holy Maiden of the Holy Fire Religion after all."

"I have been away from the headquarters for quite some time. It is time to go back."

When Li Xuan heard that Nirubail was going back to the Western Region headquarters, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Can't you stay a few more days?"

"Everyone can see you off, too."

"Master Xuan, you are too polite. We are all children of the martial arts world. We will meet again if we are destined to. There is no need to be so pretentious."

It seems that Nilubai has made up her mind to leave.

"OK then."

Li Xuan didn't try to persuade him any further, but just sighed secretly.

"Next time, it will be Master Xuan's turn to come to the Western Regions to visit me."

Nilubaier said as she came over and gave Li Xuan a gentle kiss on the head.

Princess Ankang didn't care about it, instead she hugged Li Xuan up.

Nirubel said goodbye to the three little ones and Sharon one by one.

"Senior sister, remember to go back to the headquarters to see Master."

"You have to let her know that you are well now. If she doesn't see it with her own eyes, she might still be worried."

"I understand, Junior Sister."

"Be careful on your way back."

The two said goodbye reluctantly.

Finally, Nilubaier said to Li Xuan: "Master Xuan, I will leave Aimu and Xie Qingmo to continue to assist you."

"If you need anything else, please feel free to tell them."

"The Holy Fire Cult must do its utmost!"

Nirubel has given Li Xuan the greatest support within her ability.

Li Xuan owes this favor.

After all the matters in Daxing are dealt with, Li Xuan must go to the Western Regions.

He had not forgotten the promise he made to Nirubel.

Li Xuan will definitely help Nilubai solve the problem of the three factions within the Holy Fire Sect.

However, the rebels within Daxing have not yet been completely suppressed, and Duke Hu has also led an isolated army deep into the Wolf Court of the Desert.

At this critical juncture, Li Xuan really couldn't spare any more energy.

"I have less and less time left. I need to finish all the things on hand as soon as possible."

"Then Master Xuan, I will be waiting for you at the Western Regions headquarters."

"Everyone, see you again in the future."

Nirubel solemnly performed a Holy Fire Cult etiquette, then used her lightness skills to float away, leaving them with only her receding back.

"Are you leaving just like that?"

Princess Ankang's tone sounded a little lost.

Although the time they spent with Nirubel was short, they experienced a lot.

Especially when joining forces to fight against King Zheng, Nirubel played a key role many times.

Without her, we might not be able to defeat King Zheng.

Li Xuan also felt a little empty in his heart.

Normally, he didn't notice when he and Nirubel were arguing.

But now he suddenly found that he had become accustomed to having Nirubel around.

Li Xuan already had a good impression of this Holy Fire Sect Saint who liked to scheme and occasionally showed her unreliable side.

"Don't worry, we'll see each other again soon, meow."

Li Xuan looked at the direction where Nilubai left and said softly.

I don't know whether he was talking to Princess Ankang or to himself.

Princess Ankang caressed Li Xuan silently and could feel the waves in his heart.

Now he just hated that he couldn't do everything.

Otherwise, he would definitely wipe out all the rebels in Daxing.

As the saying goes, severe punishments are needed in troubled times, Li Xuan's heart gradually grew colder.

When he launched a surprise attack on Hutou Mountain before, he accidentally heard the argument between the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince.

Li Xuan could understand both of their thoughts.

However, Li Xuan did not agree with the Third Prince's decision to sacrifice his own soldiers.

You can be cruel and ruthless to your enemies, but you cannot be cruel and ruthless to your own people.

If you treat the soldiers under your command as chess pieces that can be sacrificed at any time, then one day you will not be able to escape the same treatment.

But if Li Xuan knew how the Eighth Prince later rescued the captives, he would not agree with it now.

Now the rebels have just gained momentum and are showing signs of spreading like wildfire.

If the fire cannot be extinguished at the beginning, it will be much more difficult to put out the raging fire in the future.

Perhaps Li Xuan's idea was a bit cruel, but he believed that the rebels must be dealt a heavy blow at this moment to discourage them from continuing to cause trouble.

The problem with the dragon vein has been repaired and King Zheng has been executed.

The root problems of Daxing have been solved, and the future will be better and better.

However, under the instigation of King Zheng, these people had already risen up in rebellion and acted as rebels to overthrow the dynasty.

It means that King Zheng deceived them. Otherwise, if there were some knowledgeable people in the field, they would have realized that this matter had no chance of success.

If you want to overthrow a dynasty, uprising is a necessary process.

But this requires a very important prerequisite.

That is to have sufficiently strong high-end combat power.

Otherwise, no matter how much fun it has, it will only be a temporary carnival.

But the price to be paid for this carnival is the lives of all those who participated in the rebellion.

How many of them are aware of these situations?
The aristocratic families lurking in the world will watch this series of events with cold eyes.

Only when they see a slight chance will they secretly go to the table to place their bets.

Some aristocratic families have relied on such means to survive longer than the dynasties.

Each of these aristocratic families is a potential martial arts mecca or prosperous dynasty.

The Warring States Period was full of chaos, with weapons and weapons like floating clouds.

As long as they seize the opportunity to soar to the sky, they can complete the leap from carp to dragon. But until now, Emperor Yongyuan has not received any intelligence about the fate of the important family.

This is enough to prove that these rebels will not amount to anything.

At least for now.

Li Xuan couldn't understand why King Zheng left such a backup plan.

Before he died, he made all the explanations, letting Li Xuan and Emperor Yongyuan understand the purpose of his previous actions.

But in the end, after his death, he left such trouble for them.

Li Xuan really couldn't understand it.

Are you unwilling?

Not really.

At that time, King Zheng resented God more than he resented them.

He hated the unfairness of fate that prevented Li Xuan from appearing until now.

But in the end, the problem of dragon veins and evil dragons was left to them.

Li Xuan could feel that King Zheng hoped they could solve the problem.

Li Xuan shook his head. The more he learned, the more confused he became.

The three little ones and Sharon returned to the inn. After having dinner together, Li Xuan strolled to find Emperor Yongyuan.

He expressed his thoughts, and they coincided with those of Emperor Yongyuan.

"Ah Xuan, I have actually sent people to look for the most powerful rebels in the surrounding area, and I have also received some intelligence reports."

Emperor Yongyuan said this as he took out several letters containing intelligence about the rebels.

It lists the three rebel forces closest to them.

These three rebel forces each have tens of thousands of soldiers and are commanded by experts.

Some of them had even captured cities and territories, forcing the officers and soldiers to retreat step by step and leaving them helpless.

It’s just that these three rebel forces are in their respective three directions.

Moreover, it is quite far from Jiangnan Road.

Li Xuan looked at the contents of the intelligence and couldn't help but frowned.

What he was most worried about happened.

As time went by, the scattered rebels also experienced a series of survival of the fittest.

Now that rebels are gaining momentum, their threat is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

"Should we choose one of these three to start with?"

Li Xuan asked Emperor Yongyuan.

It seems that Emperor Yongyuan had the same idea as him a long time ago. He wanted to catch a typical example and then crack down on him severely in order to undermine the morale of the rebels throughout the world.

When they discover that even the most powerful rebels cannot defeat the government, they will surely slowly see the reality and give up this uprising which will ultimately lead to a dead end.

At that time, as long as Emperor Yongyuan issued a decree not to hold the rebels who disbanded on their own accountable, it would inevitably further shake their determination.

Until then, they will only have to deal with the holdouts.

In this way, the rebellion will be suppressed in the shortest possible time.

It seems that Emperor Yongyuan has not been sitting here idle these days.

“It’s not a good thing for outsiders to do.”

Emperor Yongyuan said in a serious tone.

Li Xuan understood that the outsiders Emperor Yongyuan was referring to were those foreign aids found from the underworld.

Unlike when they dealt with King Zheng, most of the rebels were still civilians.

Their lives become unbearable, so they are bewitched to rise up in rebellion.

As long as they could make a living, there is no way these honest people who dig for food in the soil would wave their farm tools to cause chaos.

"So when do we start?"

Li Xuan asked Emperor Yongyuan.

Emperor Yongyuan shook his head: "These three rebel forces are not close to us, and their strength is also a little weaker."

"Even if we wipe out one of them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal a sufficient blow to the other rebels. It might even inspire their fighting spirit."

Emperor Yongyuan had not discussed this matter with Li Xuan before. Obviously, he still had many concerns and thought that the time was not ripe.

At least these three rebel groups were not the most suitable targets in the eyes of Emperor Yongyuan.

But waiting for the right target to appear is not a solution.

Therefore, Emperor Yongyuan had previously agreed to Li Xuan's request to suppress the rebels in the direction bordering the desert.

As for the north, it was left to the imperial guards of the capital and Duke Jiang Su Dingan, who was stationed in Luodong City, to resolve.

With the strength of these two sides, it should not be difficult to deal with the surrounding rebels.

By the time Emperor Yongyuan has resolved the danger on the front lines and returned to the capital, the days of these rebels will be almost over.

The other dukes are not there just to eat and do nothing, not to mention those who are in charge of the capital.

The dukes who are rotated to the front lines have ready-made combat power that can be used.

Some time ago, Emperor Yongyuan had sent out his secret letter, which was delivered personally by the eunuch in flowery clothes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The dukes used the combat power in their hands to directly begin suppressing the rebels.

As long as they can suppress the rebels around them, this rebellion will never shake the Daxing Dynasty.

But this is the most disgusting part.

King Zheng's final resort was not to give them a final blow, but only to add fuel to the fire when they were in a panic.

But King Zheng is dead, and no one knows why he committed such a sin.

After all, such a rebellion would result in countless deaths.

Li Xuan read the three pieces of intelligence back and forth several times, and finally proposed to Emperor Yongyuan:
"In that case, why don't I go there again?"

"Ah Xuan, do you want to go and kill these three rebel groups alone?" Emperor Yongyuan asked with a frown.

"I am fast on my feet and capable of doing this."

"Otherwise, the officers and soldiers in these places alone may not be able to do anything to them, and innocent people will be the ones who suffer."

Li Xuan saw from the intelligence that most of these rebels were actually local officers and soldiers.

Those who led them were either local officials or generals, or local powerful gentry.

These people are not considered to be aristocratic families, but they have significant influence in various places.

Moreover, King Zheng had been operating in the south for many years, and many places no longer recognized the imperial court but only King Zheng.

Emperor Yongyuan has not yet officially announced the news of Prince Zheng's death.

These rebels were only acting in accordance with the orders left by King Zheng before his death.

The news of King Zheng’s death can only be announced after they have inflicted a sufficient blow on the rebels.

Otherwise, if it were to be made known now, I'm afraid not many people would believe it, and some might even regard it as Emperor Yongyuan's instigation, further discrediting Emperor Yongyuan's image.

Over the years, thanks to Prince Zheng's efforts, Emperor Yongyuan's reputation among the people has not been high.

On the contrary, it was King Zheng who took the court's things and went out to buy fame for himself.

If the timing of announcing the death of Prince Zheng is wrong, it will give them an excuse to avenge Prince Zheng and overthrow the tyrant Emperor Yongyuan, so they must carefully find a suitable time.

Emperor Yongyuan pondered for a moment about Li Xuan's request for battle, and then said:
"Ah Xuan, I originally planned to let Zhao Feng and Shang Wenfu take charge of two routes, and then I would personally attack one route, which would not delay our plan."

"And you have to know that killing people is something that goes against the will of nature, especially killing a lot of people."

"Even if you are the one with destiny, it will still affect you."

What Emperor Yongyuan said was not metaphysics, but facts.

Therefore, the righteousness and reputation of this world are extremely important.

But in response to the questions raised by Emperor Yongyuan, Li Xuan just smiled slightly and seemed to be indifferent.

Emperor Yongyuan thought that Li Xuan did not understand the seriousness of the matter, but before he could say anything more, Li Xuan spoke first:
"I have understood my destiny."

“Believe me, Daxing’s problems are just the beginning.”

"There will be greater tests waiting for me in the future."

Li Xuan let out a long breath.

"What does it matter if it harms the harmony of nature?"

"It's better for me to go alone than to take Ankang with me, right?"

After hearing these words, Emperor Yongyuan looked at Li Xuan silently and remained silent for a long time.

"Ah Xuan, what is your destiny?"
