The Gaochang mentioned by the Seventh Princess is a small country in the Western Regions, but this small country has a special passion for stargazing, and has produced many famous stargazers and several famous stargazing holy places.

The Gaochang Crescent Twelve Star Chart is an important knowledge point in the current stargazing community.

It is said that relying on this star chart, Gaochang State has completed a complete knowledge system in various fields such as calendar, farming, sacrifice, divination, and deduction.

Almost all national affairs were completed with a Gaochang Crescent Twelve Star Chart.

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the Seventh Princess, but they didn't see any star chart at all.

Of course, other people didn't recognize this thing, but they saw that the Seventh Princess was pointing at a group of Hu people.

Li Xuan also looked over and couldn't help frowning.

Compared with other tribute teams, this group of people looked young, mostly young people in their twenties.

Generally, tribute teams would not send so many young people. They stood among a group of middle-aged and elderly people, which was unusually eye-catching.

Moreover, from their clothes, Li Xuan could see some familiarity.

"Could they be from the Holy Fire Cult?"

Earlier, Nilubaier only asked Li Xuan to take care of the Holy Fire Cult members who came to the capital to pay tribute, but did not say that they were all such a group of young people.

"Could they be the reformists?"

But at this moment, Princess Ankang frowned and asked the Seventh Princess:

"Seventh Princess, what is the Gaochang New Moon Twelve Star Chart you mentioned?"

The Seventh Princess immediately gave them a brief introduction, and was about to continue to explain in detail, but was interrupted by Princess Ankang:

"Seventh Princess, what are these accessories? Point them out to me one by one."

The Seventh Princess thought that Princess Ankang was interested in the star chart, and excitedly pointed them out one by one:

"Ankang, look at that person's big earrings, and the necklace of that person over there..."

As the Seventh Princess pointed out one by one, Princess Ankang's face became a little solemn.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Seventh Princess, none of them would have noticed that these people's accessories could form a set.

It was nothing unusual, but Princess Ankang's reaction seemed a little wrong.

"Ankang, what's wrong?" The fifth prince noticed something was wrong and asked immediately.

"These people's accessories look a little wrong. Some of them are not made of ordinary materials. They look like things used in the formation..."

Princess Ankang frowned and said.

Li Xuan was shocked and perked up.

"My, are they here to cause trouble?"

The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He carefully observed the people at the Seventh Princess' place.

The strength of these young men and women was around the fifth or sixth rank. Although it was not bad, it was impossible for them to cause any trouble in the palace.

But the formation mentioned by Princess Ankang made Li Xuan pay attention.

They were not strong enough, and if the formation was used, it was possible that something strange would happen.

The fifth and eighth princes also heard the hidden meaning of Princess Ankang.

The fifth prince said with some doubt: "It shouldn't be?"

"It is unlikely that the inspection of the Imperial Guards and the Ministry of Internal Affairs missed such dangerous things. Maybe you are overthinking it."

The eighth prince was silent, looking at the group of people with a gleam in his eyes.

On the contrary, the seventh princess reacted more sensitively this time and asked Princess Ankang:

"Ankang, you said they are going to use the star map to do bad things?"

This is something the seventh princess absolutely cannot tolerate.

"I am indeed worried about this."

Princess Ankang frowned and continued to look carefully.

But her formation is also a paper talk with only theory, and she can't say that she has a great vision. After all, she still doesn't have a famous teacher, and she just relies on reading books to brush up some theoretical knowledge related to formations.

"Ah Xuan, go and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"If it's not natural, it's best, otherwise I will think about this all night."

Princess Ankang said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan also had this intention.

If the group of young men and women below are really members of the Holy Fire Religion, Li Xuan must stop them from doing stupid things.

Now is the time for the two forces to start contact and prepare to establish cooperation, and we must not let people with ulterior motives disrupt it.

Princess Ankang gently patted Li Xuan's buttocks, and Li Xuan immediately got out of her arms and jumped directly from the city wall.

"Ah!"

The Seventh Princess screamed in fear, but everyone else was very calm.

The city wall is indeed very high, but for Li Xuan, this kind of thing has long lost its meaning.

Li Xuan's four feet stepped on the vertical wall as if walking on flat ground, and he easily reached the ground in three or two steps.

Then he immediately ran in one direction and soon disappeared.

"Li Simian, you are still worried about the cat. It will kill anyone else and not the cat." The Eighth Prince pouted.

Whose good cat kicked people into the goal when playing Cuju?

The Eighth Prince only dared to criticize him behind his back when Li Xuan was not around.

Unfortunately, the Eighth Prince knew nothing about Li Xuan's terrifying five senses.

Li Xuan, who was running on the top of the wall, moved his ears and glanced at the city wall unhappily.

"Stinky Eighth Prince, I'll deal with you when I get back."

Li Xuan opened his perception and soon found the breath of Zhao Feng, the chief monk.

He first found Zhao Feng and glanced at him from a distance, and saw Zhao Feng who was busy and exhausted.

Many details of this banquet were controlled by him. Li Xuan thought about it and decided not to bother him for the time being.

He found Manager Shang in the corner at the edge of the venue. He saw Manager Shang pacing back and forth leisurely, his eyes focused on the details of the banquet venue.

"Hey, why is Ah Xuan here?"

When Manager Shang saw Li Xuan coming, he patted his shoulder and asked him to come up.

Li Xuan was not polite, climbed up directly, and then told Manager Shang what happened before.

"Array?"

Manager Shang frowned.

"When entering the palace, all spiritual items will be checked, and then they will be kept for the guests temporarily and will be returned after the New Year Gala."

"It stands to reason that the materials used to set up the formation will also be found out..."

"Axuan, you said they are a group of young Hu men and women, right?"

"Do you suspect he is from the Holy Fire Cult?"

It would save trouble to communicate with Manager Shang, and Li Xuan nodded immediately.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Manager Shang said and gestured to the side, and immediately a group of eunuchs in colorful clothes came out of the crowd and followed.

Chief Monk Li Xuan came directly to the gate of Changle with a team of eunuchs in colorful clothes.

This is where Princess Ankang and the others saw the group of barbarians before.

When Chief Monk Li Xuan arrived, these people were still staying here and failed to enter the Tai Chi Palace Square.

But judging from the queue, it will soon be their turn to enter.

"Axuan, are they them?"

Manager Shang looked at several young Hu men and women not far away.

There were nearly twenty of them in total, and they were obviously not from the same tribute team.

But this group of people from different tribute teams were wearing accessories that could be matched into a set, which did look suspicious. Li Xuan nodded, and then he saw a eunuch in colorful clothes bringing a list to Manager Shang.

Manager Shang made a simple comparison and then said:

"You really guessed it right."

Li Xuan understood that Manager Shang had confirmed the fact that they came from the Holy Fire Sect.

"Go and invite Tang Nu here." Manager Shang ordered the eunuch in colorful clothes under his command.

Li Xuan remembered that Tang Nu was the head of an organization called Li Jingmen under Emperor Yongyuan.

Before, Li Xuan obtained the secret book of alien writing from the fire demon of the Western Region and sent it to them for analysis.

I don’t know if there have been any results after so many days.

But Li Xuan was a little confused, why did Manager Shang invite Tang Nu over now?

Before Li Xuan could ask, Manager Shang explained thoughtfully:

"Tang Nu also has some understanding of battle tactics, and he is even more aware of these weird things."

"And after all, he is a member of the Holy Fire Cult. If you act rashly before you understand it clearly, it may be self-defeating."

Manager Shang expressed his concerns, and then brought the remaining eunuchs in colorful clothes to wait for Tang Nu with a smile.

After a while, the eunuch in colorful clothes brought back a middle-aged eunuch with an ordinary appearance.

This eunuch has a cold temperament, and he is only wearing a black suit, making him look unattractive.

If you just look at this image, no one would have guessed that this was a close eunuch who managed the Li Jing Sect under Emperor Yong Yuan.

"Shang Lao."

Tang Nu came over and saluted Mr. Shang. He seemed to be a man of stingy words.

"Tang Nu, please take a trip."

"Look at the accessories those people are wearing. Are there any weird ones? Can they form a formation?"

Manager Shang also knew that Tang Nu was very busy, so he asked straight to the point.

Tang Nu walked forward silently and looked at the people from the Holy Fire Cult. His stern expression immediately changed and he frowned slightly.

"It's something I haven't seen before, but it is indeed related to the formation. I just don't know how to drive it?"

Tang Nu showed doubts and spoke truthfully.

"Okay, as long as you say this."

As Manager Shang said, he led people directly towards the young men and women from the Holy Fire Sect.

"A few distinguished guests from the Western Regions have taken the liberty of interrupting."

Manager Shang stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.

"Is the old gentleman talking to us?"

Seeing someone coming up to talk to them, the members of the Holy Fire Cult silently distanced themselves from each other, pretending not to know each other. Only a few people who were greeted by Manager Shang responded.

"My lord, do you have any orders?"

The attitude of the few people was very respectful and there was nothing unusual about it.

Manager Shang's expression did not change, he still kept a smile and said to them:

"The seating arrangement of several distinguished guests has temporarily changed, so we would like to invite you to move to a new location."

The faces of the people who responded to Mr. Shang changed slightly and confirmed, "Are you talking about a few of us?"

"There are a few others."

Manager Shang said, taking out the previous list and counting their names one by one.

Needless to say, the efficiency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very high, and it took only a short time to find out the details of these people.

It can be seen that the security work at tonight's banquet was actually very perfect.

Several people from the Holy Fire Cult looked at each other silently, and no one said a word.

The atmosphere seemed a bit dull, and the people around him seemed to be aware of the unusual situation here, and they all turned their attention to it.

At this tense moment, the person who answered the question from the Holy Fire Sect suddenly smiled:

"In that case, it's good to work."

They did not resist, but obediently followed the colorful eunuch to a secluded place.

"I guess you know each other."

Li Xuan secretly thought in his heart.

Based on the strength of these guys in front of them, the eunuchs in colorful clothes can take care of them without the help of General Manager Laoshang.

"My lord, you brought us to such a remote place just to change my position, right?"

"If there is anything we did wrong, please make it clear."

"Although we are all envoys from a small country in the Western Region, we cannot be easily insulted!"

Although Manager Shang just took them out and turned a corner, there were no guests here. Looking around, there were only the eunuchs in colorful clothes and the patrolling imperial troops in front of them.

No matter how slow they reacted, they still realized that Mr. Shang was coming with bad intentions.

"Don't get me wrong, there are just some things I need to confirm with you."

"I wonder if the jewelry you have on you can be handed over to us for inspection?"

Tang Nu walked out from behind Manager Shang at this time, surprising Li Xuan.

Being so close, Li Xuan didn't notice Tang Nu's approach.

"This guy!?"

Only then did Li Xuan realize that he couldn't see the depth of Tang Nu.

The last person Li Xuan couldn't tell was Mr. Ye.

"How strong is this guy?"

Without waiting for Li Xuan to continue exploring, Tang Nu stepped forward and pulled off various accessories from the members of the Holy Fire Cult.

Faced with Tang Nu's rude behavior, they didn't even have the ability to resist. Everyone's bodies froze in place and they could only glare at Tang Nu.

Tang Nu took off the ornaments from them and began to piece them together.

At this time, Li Xuan felt someone's gaze. He looked up and found Princess Ankang and the others looking furtively at the far side of the city wall.

Li Xuan smiled and then looked away, intending to see if Tang Nu could see the weirdness of these accessories.

In a short time, Tang Nu used the ornaments to form a star map.

Just like what the Seventh Princess said, these scattered accessories actually formed a pattern of stars and moon shining together.

“Lao Qi’s star is really not in vain!”

Li Xuan used to think that the Seventh Princess was just an amateur stargazer, but now she seems to be somewhat professional.

By observing these scattered accessories, she could actually see the star map pieced together, which was really amazing.

And this Tang Nu also had a profound knowledge base. He not only understood the formations, but also the stars. He pieced together the star map by simply dividing three times, five times, and two times.

But even if the jewelry pieced together a complete star map, it did not produce any strange phenomena, nor did it trigger any formations.

At this time, Li Xuan clearly saw the proud look in the eyes of the Holy Fire Cult believers.

"What do these idiots want to do?"

"Has Nilubair already noticed this?"

"Is the care in her words a reminder to me?"

One question after another flashed through Li Xuan's mind.

But the members of the Holy Fire Sect didn't expect one thing, that is, Tang Nu never thought of giving them a chance to defend themselves.

"There must be something wrong with the jewelry. Manager Shang should take them into custody first."

Hearing this, the Holy Fire Cult believers all widened their eyes and looked shocked.

At this time, the pressure on them happened to be relieved, and they immediately shouted:

"We are messengers invited to the New Year dinner. How could you treat us like this?"

"Even if we are from a small country, we cannot be bullied like this!"
