Ouchi Cat Controlling, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Li Xuan returned to the palace and reported Master Shan Leo's lack of cooperation to the two stewards.

Manager Shang and Zhao Feng were not much surprised by this.

"Master Shanluo, there's something wrong if I dare to trust you easily." Manager Shang said with a smile.

Zhao Feng on the side also continued: "Axuan, you are the only one who is afraid of ghosts at night."

Li Xuan was reminded by the two stewards, and most of the anger he had just suffered at Ci'en Temple was relieved.

He also knew in his heart that the other party was on guard, but he was just a little annoyed that things were not going well.

In his expectation, if he could unite Buddhism and the Holy Fire Sect, and add their power, the Western Region Fire Demon might be able to get rid of him.

If King Zheng loses another second-grade master, the palace will be more secure.

But now it seems that things are not as smooth as Li Xuan thought.

Facts have proved that Master Shan's concerns are justified.

In fact, Li Xuan just now was also full of nonsense. They were just laughing at the fifty steps and the hundred steps.

In order to cover up his petty theft, Li Xuan had just brought out the Holy Fire Cult as an excuse. More importantly, he did not mention that the Fire Demon of the Western Regions was now working for Prince Zheng's Palace.

He was afraid that the name of Prince Zheng's Mansion would be brought out, and the two old monks would be intimidated.

At least they have to be fooled by the Western Region Fire Demon first.

"Now we can only wait for news from the Holy Fire Cult."

"If they can send people to help, I will discuss it with the two managers in detail, and maybe we can use Monk Chengcheng to catch the Western Region Fire Demon again."

Li Xuan was thinking about it, but he also had his own Xiao Jiujiu.

"If the Holy Fire Cult can't help, then what Ayimu told me will be useless."

With this in mind, he planned to hide his conversation with Ayimu first.

Although Li Xuan made it clear before that he could not keep it secret, the excited Ayimu still told him all those things just now.

But Li Xuan didn't want Ayimu to take too big risks because he trusted him.

Ayimu felt that this matter was too coincidental, it was a destined opportunity, and it would definitely succeed.

After all, Li Xuan, whom Ayimu identified as the prophesied beast, faced off against the enemy that the Holy Fire Sect had been hunting for for thirty years.

But Li Xuan knew that if there was a slight mistake in this matter, or even if it succeeded in the end, someone from the Holy Fire Sect might make a fuss about it.

At that time, the merits and demerits may be equal to each other, and Ayimu will not be able to reap any benefits.

Li Xuan clearly remembered that the Holy Fire Sect had more than just Ayimu as a candidate for the saint.

Ayimu passed the annual assessment and was so happy that she entertained herself by dancing in the backyard. There must be some people who are unhappy because of this, right?

Li Xuan's idea is actually very simple. If you are good to me, I will be good to you.

Although Ayimu's kindness to Li Xuan is a bit abnormal, it is indeed good enough.

Therefore, Li Xuan did not want her to suffer.

Cat, just be a mirror.

If you smile at me, I will smile at you.

If you are angry with me, I will be angry with you.

If I like you, I don't mind smiling at you first.

Being a cat is actually that simple.

Anyway, Li Xuan's talk about the grievances between the Fire Demon of the Western Region and the Holy Fire Sect is just to add some identity and background of the Fire Demon of the Western Region, plus a hope that may not be certain.

After all, the Western Region controlled by the Holy Fire Sect is located in a remote area. They want to receive news from Ayimu and then send people to the capital. Who knows how long it will take.

It's better to wait for the reinforcements from the Holy Fire Cult to arrive then. It won't be too late for Li Xuan to tell the two managers, and it can be considered a surprise, right?

"What about Ci'en Temple?"

Zhao Feng asked Manager Shang.

"According to the plan, with two eminent Buddhist monks in charge, the young novice monks of Fuhu Temple can be saved no matter what."

As Manager Shang said, he couldn't help looking at Li Xuan and smiled.

Li Xuan felt like his thoughts had been seen through, so he couldn't help but turn his head to avoid Manager Shang's gaze, and was minding his own business, twiddling his tail, looking very busy.

"Axuan, take care of Monk Chengche's injury in the past two days, and then go to the city to find out more information."

Manager Shang also arranged tasks for Li Xuan, who looked very busy.

Li Xuan immediately nodded obediently.

After confirming what they were going to do next, Manager Shang left first.

Zhao Feng took Li Xuan to the place where Monk Chengche was placed.

Li Xuan checked him and found that Monk Chengche's injuries were much better and he was recovering quickly with the powerful physique of a third-grade warrior.

It's just that the desperate measures he used before were a bit violent, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to wake up today.

After Li Xuan confirmed Monk Chengche's condition, he sent a message to Manager Shang:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up until tomorrow at the earliest."

"That's it..."

Zhao Feng seemed a little regretful. After all, Monk Chengche was an important key to unlocking all the secrets. Only he knew best what was happening on Jiangnan Road.

Although they can now deduce from various sources that it is Prince Zheng who is causing trouble in Jiangnan Dao, the exact tricks they are playing have yet to be confirmed.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs previously asked local governments to report information about Gangnam Province, but they have yet to receive a reply.

Calculating the time, it is indeed somewhat inconsistent with the efficiency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Have the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Jiangnan Road not responded yet?"

Zhao Feng nodded helplessly, and then explained: "Depending on the distance, the response period of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also different."

"In principle, the Jiangnan Road is five days, and the capital must be reported within five days."

"It's not time yet, let's wait patiently."

Li Xuan nodded, and didn't urge him any more.

He turned his head and looked at the place where Monk Chengche was resting. There was only a team of eunuchs in flowery clothes to protect him.

Li Xuan thought about it and immediately proposed to Zhao Feng:

"Why don't we find a few disciples from Fuhu Temple to take care of Monk Chengche?"

"This old monk has a bad temper. If he wakes up and finds himself in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he may misunderstand. If he makes a fuss here, it will be troublesome."

"When he wakes up and sees the disciples of Fuhu Temple, he should be able to calm down a lot, and those disciples can also help us explain as witnesses."

Zhao Feng was stunned, and thought about it and it made sense.

"Ah Xuan is very careful now."

"I will arrange what you said immediately."

To be honest, Zhao Feng didn't know much about Monk Chengche. He just met him once on the night when Bilge escaped from prison.

Zhao Feng's impression of him was just a third-rank Buddhist monk who hated evil.

And Li Xuan had more contact with Monk Chengche and knew his temper.

If Monk Chengche woke up and found that he was controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he might misunderstand that they were in the same group with the Western Region Fire Demon.

When he used the Vajra Shadow in the palace, Li Xuan was not sure whether the Ministry of Internal Affairs could protect Monk Chengche.

It's not possible that all the masters of the Imperial Palace were as easy to talk to as Old Ye, right?

It's not impossible to kill Monk Chengche on the spot.

After checking Monk Chengche's injuries, Li Xuan returned to Jingyang Palace to rest for a while.

The two girls had already adapted to Li Xuan's busyness. When he came back, they stroked his hair and fed him snacks, so that Li Xuan could rest comfortably.

They all knew that Li Xuan was busy with work, not playing outside.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er could clearly distinguish the difference.

Li Xuan looked tired, fell asleep without saying a word, which meant he was busy with work.

On the contrary, if he was refreshed, walked with the wind, and kept talking, he was having fun outside.

The two maids were also very considerate. They didn't ask Li Xuan what he was busy with. They just prepared whatever Li Xuan needed silently.

With the help of the two maids, Li Xuan slept comfortably until the afternoon, and his fatigue faded away.

When he woke up, he found himself lying on Princess Ankang's bed, covered with a small quilt.

Turning his head, he saw that there were delicacies prepared for him on the table, covered with a bamboo cage.

Li Xuan got up from the bed, stretched his waist, and then jumped onto the table to open the bamboo cage. The aroma of hot food filled his nose.

Although it is winter now, it is very warm in Jingyang Palace.

It was only after the renovation of Jingyang Palace that Li Xuan knew that Daxing actually had "floor heating"!

It is called floor heating, but it is actually a kang.

In the palaces above the nine concubines, there are fire channels underneath. By burning firewood and charcoal in the furnace cavity underneath, the heat source generated by the charcoal fire is spread along the fire channel path and discharged from the smoke outlet below, heating the floor tiles during the process, and using the heat storage and upward radiation of the ground itself to keep the room warm.

These rooms with kangs are called warm rooms, which are generally just sleeping rooms in the palace, and the place is not large.

After all, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain the warm room, which is also a considerable expense.

Although Li Xuan has made a lot of money for the national treasury, Emperor Yongyuan has been used to a hard life after all, and will not waste money just because he has money for a while.

If it were not for the face of some royal families, I am afraid that Emperor Yongyuan would have cut off the floor heating for his concubines a few years ago.

When Li Xuan first heard about the warm room, he was impressed by the wisdom of the people of Daxing.

The floor heating in Jingyang Palace is an improved and enhanced version.

Although the golden pig basks in the sun in the pond every day, it has made a great contribution to Jingyang Palace.

When Jingyang Palace was rebuilt, they specifically requested a special renovation of the pond. When the craftsmen asked, they knew that Jingyang Palace had such a big treasure, and they immediately revamped the design of the warm room.

Today, Jingyang Palace has the largest warm room system in the entire palace, covering almost all buildings except some special warehouses, and it is also a twelve-hour uninterrupted heating system, which makes many nobles in the palace envious.

Even the Eighth Prince and his friends have been visiting Jingyang Palace more frequently recently, and come to enjoy the water heating of the three little ones.

In the residences of the princes and princesses, except for the East Palace, no one has the enjoyment of the warm room, and can only rely on burning charcoal for heating.

But burning charcoal for heating is inconvenient and far less comfortable than the water heating in Jingyang Palace.

When the weather gets cold, everyone knows how good Princess Ankang is.

Although many princes and princesses didn't say it, they envied the Eighth Prince and his brothers and sisters who were on good terms with Princess Ankang.

I heard that they always wore summer clothes in Jingyang Palace, ate iced fruits and various ice cream snacks, how could they not be envied.

The Eighth Prince was also a show-off, so everyone in the palace knew about it.

Many people secretly reported that the construction of Jingyang Palace was beyond the rules, but all of them fell into the sea.

Some people went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report directly, and even found Zhao Feng, but they were also pushed back with a sentence "This is the will of His Majesty".

After all, the renovation of Jingyang Palace was the reward that Princess Ankang won in the Imperial Garden Competition.

This reward was personally approved by Emperor Yongyuan. Who dared to ask Emperor Yongyuan to take back his will?

After this, the palace's small actions against Jingyang Palace decreased sharply. Now they can only say a few words behind the back, mention the decline of Jingyang Palace in the past, and sigh that things have changed and people have changed, and protect their last insignificant sense of superiority.

But in this West Palace, as long as you look up, you can see the corner of the magnificent eaves of Jingyang Palace, and that insignificant sense of superiority will be shattered on the spot.

"Oh, life is really good now~"

Li Xuan smacked his lips and licked the dishes clean, saving Yu'er the effort of washing dishes.

After he finished his meal, he went outside to find two maids and found that they were in the backyard at this time.

Yu'er was practicing martial arts in the backyard, and she was already steaming hot.

Princess Ankang was squatting in the snow, drawing some weird pictures on the ground.

What was even more depressing was that there was a huge white tiger with its butt sticking out by the pond, swinging seductively. It was obvious that Dabai was looking for the golden pig.

Li Xuan shook his head and rolled his eyes helplessly.

He then meowed loudly, and the two maids in the backyard turned their heads immediately.

"Ah Xuan, you're awake!"

Princess Ankang stood up quickly, holding a branch that she had broken off from somewhere.

Yu'er also asked, "Are you going out again?"

"Come back early today meow."

"You guys take good care of the house meow!"

Li Xuan wagged his tail at the two maids, turned around and left the palace again.

"Ah Xuan, be careful on the road~"

The soft voices of the two maids came from behind, and Li Xuan couldn't help but smile.

He thought to himself, "Dear Prince Zheng, you still have to die soon!"

Li Xuan didn't enjoy such a good life, and he was running around outside every day, all because of Prince Zheng.

...

After Li Xuan left the palace, he went to Ci'en Temple first.

He saw that the guards outside the temple had really been lifted, and there were only two disciples of Ci'en Temple guarding the door outside the temple.

Li Xuan sensed it and found that Master Chenghai and Master Shanliao were also in the temple, and the young monks of Fuhu Temple were also safe.

He was nodding slightly with relief, but his face suddenly changed.

Li Xuan arched his body and looked to the side.

At the same time, Master Shanliao's figure flashed there.

"Mr. Cat, you are here again."

"It seems that you care about Ci'en Temple very much."

Master Shanliao said with a smile.

Li Xuan did not dare to be careless.

He felt something was wrong last time.

Li Xuan was very confident in his ability to hide, and his Yin and Yang Qi was enough to make him completely integrated into the world.

But whether it was last time or this time, Li Xuan suddenly realized that the other party had discovered him in advance.

Last time, Li Xuan just thought it was a coincidence, but today it seems that there is something wrong with this old monk.

Master Shanliao's long white eyebrows covered his eyes, and only a pair of curved eye slits could be seen.

The seemingly kind and harmless old monk made Li Xuan extremely alert.

"What kind of Taoism is this old monk?"
