Ouchi Cat Controlling, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Li Xuan continued to nod at Zhao Feng's second question.

"Oh? You know about the man-eating locust plague?"

Zhao Feng showed a surprised expression.

Li Xuan immediately repeated what Deng Weixian had said to Yu'er.

But Zhao Feng said: "Deng Weixian lied to Yu'er, it's not like that."

But at this time, they had already arrived at the door of Ganlu Palace, and it was obviously not the time to continue talking.

Zhao Feng shook his head lightly at Li Xuan with a heavy face, making him hold back the words he wanted to ask.

They arrived at the door, and after reporting, they were soon received by Emperor Yongyuan.

Emperor Yongyuan got up very early, and seemed to have finished washing and finishing his morning exercises.

It was the first time that Li Xuan saw Emperor Yongyuan wearing a training suit.

It must be said that this man has a good figure.

He was already burly, and he filled up his loose training suit, and the outline of his muscles could be clearly seen.

Emperor Yongyuan always wore a wide red dragon robe before, and I never knew that he had such a good figure.

"Emperor Yongyuan's figure is very similar to Monk Chengche's. Could it be that he also follows the route of strong external skills?"

Li Xuan guessed in his heart.

Emperor Yongyuan first asked them to wait aside, then wiped his sweat with the help of Wang Xi, and put on the red dragon robe with black dragon pattern that he usually wore.

Once the dragon robe was put on, Emperor Yongyuan's eye-catching figure was covered tightly, and he looked like an ordinary tall man.

Li Xuan looked at the sky outside and said with some surprise:

"This guy is quite diligent, getting up before dawn to practice."

"He usually wears a wide dragon robe to cover his body, but he is a good hand at hiding his shortcomings."

Li Xuan still can't tell the strength of Emperor Yongyuan to this day, which shows how well he disguised himself.

"What's the matter so early?"

Emperor Yongyuan sat down at the dragon table, wiped his hands and asked them.

"Your Majesty, yesterday Ah Xuan discovered unusual movements outside the city and sensed the breath of the Western Region Fire Demon."

"Old Ye, Ah Xuan, and this old slave went to investigate, Zhao Feng stayed in the palace, and notified Master Shanliao of Chongfu Temple and Master Chenghai of Ci'en Temple on the way to go together. It happened that the Western Region Fire Demon and the former Saint of the Holy Fire Sect, Sharon, were fighting."

"Old Ye and Master Shanliao were the main forces, and Master Chenghai assisted from the side, allowing us to successfully kill the Western Region Fire Demon in one fell swoop."

"In addition, this old slave and Ah Xuan cooperated to control the dying Sharon. Ah Xuan hoped to use this person to contact the Holy Fire Sect and establish a good cooperative relationship."

"Afterwards, the Five Elements Reincarnation of the Western Region Fire Demon after his death was absorbed by Ah Xuan. Except for the people who participated in the battle on the scene, no one else knew about the death of the Western Region Fire Demon."

"As for whether the Zheng Wangfu has other means to know the life and death of the Western Region Fire Demon, it is still unknown now."

General Manager Shang stepped forward and briefly reported what happened last night to Emperor Yongyuan.

Originally, Zhao Feng should have come forward to deal with this matter, but he did not participate in the battle last night, and only heard about the process later.

Now, when reporting, only Shang Zongguan, who knows the situation better, can come forward.

"The Western Region Fire Demon is dead..."

Emperor Yongyuan said, with a smile on his face.

The matter of the Western Region Fire Demon had been reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before, but it was unexpected that Emperor Yongyuan received the good news that the Western Region Fire Demon had been killed in just a few days.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help but look at Li Xuan in a good mood.

Li Xuan was confused by the look, blinking his eyes, and staring at Emperor Yongyuan without avoiding.

"Shang Zongguan is reporting to you, why is the old emperor looking at me?"

Emperor Yongyuan withdrew his gaze with a smile and continued to talk about business.

"There are problems within the Buddhist sect. It will take time for Fuyun Temple to intervene. The Holy Fire Sect is indeed worth contacting."

"Let Ah Xuan handle this matter. If necessary, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must provide all reasonable support."

Emperor Yongyuan's words have made it clear that he supports Li Xuan.

He did not even ask Li Xuan about more details.

After spending so long together, Emperor Yongyuan has understood Li Xuan's temperament.

Although Li Xuan is a cat, he has always been reliable in doing things. He does not say anything, but he has a bottom line in his heart. He will never not speak up when there are difficulties. In fact, many times, he creates difficulties to please him even if there are no difficulties.

As soon as Emperor Yongyuan finished speaking, Li Xuan's baby voice sounded:

"Your Majesty, wise and powerful, how do you support meow?"

"Ah Xuan, as long as I think it is reasonable, I will support it." Emperor Yongyuan said firmly.

"So if you want to get more support, you have to make me feel it is reasonable enough."

"As long as it is reasonable, it is not a problem!"

Li Xuan understood that Emperor Yongyuan could not be too straightforward if there were any.

Emperor Yongyuan's meaning was also very clear. This reasonable degree required Li Xuan's efforts.

As long as Emperor Yongyuan thought it was beneficial to Daxing, he could make the investment.

With the support of Emperor Yongyuan, Li Xuan had more confidence in negotiating with the Holy Fire Sect.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to control other people in the Holy Fire Sect with just his illusory identity as a holy beast.

After all, it was impossible for other people to be as easy to deceive as Ayimu and Xie Qingmo, right?

After saying this, General Manager Shang reported on matters related to Jiangnan Road.

"Your Majesty, Jiangnan Road suffered a great disaster last year, and there was also a plague of man-eating locusts. Now there is the matter of Fuhu Temple, which has led to internal disputes in Buddhism."

"Contacting the contents of the previous account books of Siyun Grain Store, I am afraid that Prince Zheng has already expected it and has made sufficient preparations in Jiangnan Road."

"Your Majesty, regarding the southern tour next year..."

Manager Shang looked uneasy and looked at Emperor Yongyuan worriedly.

Emperor Yongyuan shook his head slightly, his expression unchanged.

"This is a necessary move."

"It's the same for us and the emperor."

After hearing Emperor Yongyuan's reply, Mr. Ye, Manager Shang and Zhao Feng all stepped forward to salute and responded loudly:

"I will obey the emperor's orders!"

Li Xuan looked confused, but seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, he stood on Zhao Feng's shoulder and lowered his head.

But he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Why do you say it as if there is a decisive battle?"

"What's so special about Jiangnan Road?"

Li Xuan had many questions in his mind, but obviously the current atmosphere was not the time to ask questions.

After everyone's emotions calmed down a bit, Li Xuan took the time to ask:

"What's going on in Jiangnan Road?"

Emperor Yongyuan then remembered that because Li Xuan was a "half-way member", he needed some background information.

"Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with your Jingyang Palace." Emperor Yongyuan said with a smile.

At this time, Zhao Feng got the hint from Emperor Yongyuan's eyes and came forward to ask Li Xuan:

"Axuan, what did Yu'er's brother Deng Weixian tell you?"

Li Xuan shook his head and explained: "When Deng Weixian came to see Yu'er, he once said meow."

"I overheard it from the side, nya."

Li Xuandang recounted what happened that day, and the content was exactly the same as what he had just said to Zhao Feng at the door. He didn't quite understand why Zhao Feng asked him to say it again in front of Emperor Yongyuan.

"Did Deng Weixian say that?"

After hearing this, Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help but show an expression similar to that of Zhao Feng before, with a heavy expression of pity.

Li Xuan couldn't help but panic. Just now Zhao Feng also said that Deng Wei had lied. What was the truth?

Moreover, Emperor Yongyuan actually knew the names of Deng Weixian and Yu'er, and did not show any unfamiliar look at all.

Li Xuan looked at everyone in confusion, not knowing why.

"Zhao Feng, let you speak."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Feng immediately accepted the order and told Li Xuan the truth about Deng Wei's entry into the palace first.

"Last year, heavy rains continued for more than a month in the south, and floods occurred one after another in various places. Millions of people were displaced and had no food to eat."

Li Xuan had heard about this just now. The account books of the Siyun Grain Store recorded that the grain that the imperial government opened for disaster relief after the flood was taken by these greedy gangs. They also took the opportunity to sell some grain to the capital at a high price.

Due to the floods in the south last year and the opening of warehouses in various places to provide disaster relief, the overall food prices in Daxing have increased to varying degrees, and some people have taken advantage of the national crisis to make money.

All this money is stained with the resentment of the victims who starved to death!

"After the floods, small-scale locust plagues appeared in very few places."

"Locust plagues are more common in drought years, but there is a real possibility of locust plagues after floods."

"But these locusts appear very strangely, and they also have human-eating properties. They come and go quickly."

"And Deng Weixian is the only surviving witness who witnessed the birth of these locusts."

Zhao Feng's calm words gave Li Xuan a heavy blow in his heart.

"Deng Weixian is the only surviving witness?"

Li Xuan's mouth opened slightly, showing a look of shock.

Deng Weixian never mentioned these things to Yu'er.

"Last year, Zhao Bugao, who was still the deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, led a team to the south to investigate floods. As a result, he accidentally received a tip about a man-eating locust plague in Jiangnan Province and went to investigate."

"Zhao Bugao found Deng Weixian who was dying of blood loss in Pingshan Village, Guanglin Prefecture. At that time, a fire had already broken out in Pingshan Village. He arrived a step too late and was unable to save Deng Weixian."

"Is he dying from blood loss?" Li Xuan couldn't help being stunned when he heard this word, and asked quickly:

"What happened in Pingshan Village, meow?"

Zhao Feng continued: "According to what Deng Weixian said, a group of people suddenly broke into Pingshan Village and started killing people."

"People in the village originally thought they were robbers. After all, the entire south was hit by a disaster at that time, and many victims fell into the trap of bandits."

"But even though they donated the remaining food and property, they did not stop the other party's butcher knife. Those people didn't even look at anything. They just harvested the lives of the villagers like rice, and then handed them over to a mysterious man for bleeding. ”

"Bloodletting?" Li Xuan became more and more confused as he listened.

"After enough blood was released, Deng Wei first saw the mysterious man sprinkle a handful of something like rice grains into it, and then saw bugs hatching from the blood."

"Deng Weixian escaped the bloodletting and became the last survivor in the village, but he also became the locusts' first ration."

Li Xuan was shocked and already guessed something.

"When Zhao Bugao found Deng Weixian, his body was covered with gnawed wounds and he turned into a bloody man. If he didn't still have a faint breath, he would have missed him."

"Zhao Bugao realized the value of Deng Weixian, so he hung his life with elixirs and escorted him back to the capital, where he was treated by Dr. Xue."

"Deng Weixian's other injuries are almost healed, except for some severe limb injuries. Even Dr. Xue was unable to help, so Deng Weixian stayed in the palace."

After Li Xuan heard this, his figure swayed and his nose became sore.

Deng Weixian was only twelve years old last year, and he experienced such a terrible thing.

"He, he knows who his enemy is?"

Zhao Feng nodded: "Deng Weixian knew that it was Prince Zheng who was behind this. The Ministry of Internal Affairs originally wanted to secretly cultivate him, but you, Xuan, also know what Zhao Bugao did later."

"Are you sure it was Prince Zheng?" Li Xuan asked.

Li Xuan did not want the Ministry of Internal Affairs to put everything on Prince Zheng in exchange for Deng Weixian's absolute loyalty due to his blind hatred.

Zhao Feng sneered and shook his head.

"Xuan, a month of heavy rain is not enough to collapse the entire southern dam, otherwise I would not send Zhao Bugao to investigate."

"The few with conclusive evidence all claimed that they were in order to save the people and took the initiative to blow up the dam to release the flood to avoid greater losses."

"But who blew up the first dam before the flood came?"

"Officials in the entire southern provinces protected each other and guaranteed each other, and they were as solid as a piece of iron."

"Xuan, who else can be behind this?"

Zhao Feng stared at Li Xuan with burning eyes and questioned.

Li Xuan lowered his head silently, knowing that there was only one answer left.

He knew that King Zheng wanted to be the emperor, but he didn't expect that King Zheng was so cruel.

Floods in the south, man-eating locusts...

How many terrible crimes did King Zheng commit that Li Xuan didn't know?

He couldn't even imagine it.

Li Xuan found it increasingly difficult to understand King Zheng.

He had made the world a mess, so what would happen even if he robbed it?

"What does King Zheng want?"

Li Xuan couldn't help asking in his heart.

But the answer to this question was probably only King Zheng in the world who could answer him.

Li Xuan suddenly felt bored and lost interest in asking about the southern tour.

He just wanted to see Deng Weixian, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, to see if he was doing well now.

"No wonder Deng Weixian was so hardworking, no wonder he had no expression on his face, and he couldn't smile much when he saw Yu'er..."

Li Xuan thought of everything that happened after he met Deng Weixian, and now he had a reasonable explanation.

A thirteen-year-old child constantly sought a glimmer of hope for revenge in the deep palace.

No matter how dangerous and difficult the task Zhao Bugao gave him, Deng Weixian would do it, and practice martial arts like crazy without caring about his life.

It turned out that he had died once.

But Deng Weixian never mentioned these words to Yu'er.

"Sure enough, it is not a good thing for a child to be too sensible."

Li Xuan couldn't help but think of this sentence.

Looking at Princess Ankang and then looking at Deng Weixian, it is indeed the same truth.

Only enough suffering can make a child "sensible in advance", sensible to the point of being distressing.

The innocent child pities himself, and the ravines can't bear to see the crowds.

In the silent Ganlu Palace, Emperor Yongyuan suddenly said:

"Ah Xuan, don't worry."

"This kind of thing is about to end."

"Maybe next year's southern tour can draw a full stop."

Emperor Yongyuan said, walked down, stretched out his hand and gently touched Li Xuan's little head, revealing a gentle smile.

"If it drags on, I'm afraid Daxing will die."
