Ouchi Cat Controlling, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Seeing these anxious young Holy Fire Cult members, Li Xuan couldn't help shaking his head.

It was ridiculous to use such bluffing in front of Chief Steward Shang.

Chief Steward Shang would naturally not allow them to make a noise in the palace. He immediately snapped his fingers, and then a water mirror appeared in front of each Holy Fire Cult member.

The eyes of those who looked at the water mirror immediately became dazed, and finally showed a confused look, and forgot to continue shouting.

Some people reacted faster. Seeing their companions being hit, they immediately turned their heads or closed their eyes to avoid looking at the water mirror.

But around these people, one water mirror after another appeared out of thin air, surrounding their heads and forcing them to look at the water mirror.

For those who closed their eyes, Chief Steward Shang also had a way. The water mirrors surrounding their heads suddenly began to hum, following a certain pattern.

In just a few breaths, all the Holy Fire Cult members present were controlled.

Shang Zongguan looked at them with satisfaction, and then asked the person who had been answering:

"What is the purpose of your trip?"

The person being questioned by Shang Zongguan was silent for a moment, and then answered in a monotonous and emotionless tone: "Use the formation... show miracles... enter Daxing... preach..."

These people were like drunk, swaying and barely standing.

Li Xuan watched from the side with a sense of novelty.

"So you can use illusions to control people without unfolding the Tao realm?"

"It seems that Shang Zongguan's Tao is related to illusions and hypnosis."

Li Xuan remembered that they used to walk with Shang Zongguan in the West Market, but no one noticed them on the road, but they would make way for them and would not bump into them.

In this way, Shang Zongguan also took advantage of the convenience of his own Tao at that time.

"Is it similar to the means of illusion?"

"No wonder Shang Zongguan was able to become the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before."

This kind of Tao is simply born to work for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When torture is needed, this is simply a powerful weapon, and the weaker the opponent's cultivation, the higher the efficiency.

These young disciples of the Holy Fire Sect were almost controlled by Shang Zongguan at will, and they had no power to resist.

And through Shang Zongguan's questioning, they quickly explained clearly.

After understanding their real purpose, Li Xuan and Shang Zongguan shook their heads speechlessly.

They all thought that the Holy Fire Sect was going to do something big, but it turned out that these people were just pretending to be ghosts in front of Emperor Yongyuan, and then using the so-called prophecy to guide Daxing to let the Holy Fire Sect preach within the dynasty.

The prophecy they used was not the one about the savior of the holy beast, but they made up it temporarily to deceive Emperor Yongyuan.

This rough and full of loopholes plan made Li Xuan and Shang Zongguan look at this group of young Holy Fire Sect believers with idiotic eyes.

"Isn't this the so-called Holy Fire Sect Reformists?"

"This is too brainless!"

Li Xuan complained in his heart.

Manager Shang also knew about the three factions of the Holy Fire Sect. When he looked at Li Xuan, he couldn't help showing an expression that was difficult to describe.

As for how to use the formation composed of ornaments, they also explained clearly.

This formation is just a show, only for performance, and has no killing power at all. It only needs someone to infuse the assembled formation with fire attribute true qi to trigger a burst of fireworks.

Of course, according to the content of the explanation, it seems that the scale of this fireworks is very spectacular.

Li Xuan wanted to give it a try, but was stopped by Manager Shang.

"Ah Xuan, let's study it later."

"Now is not a good time."

Manager Shang said so, Li Xuan had to retract his claws in dissatisfaction.

He was actually quite curious about what these reformists prepared.

Li Xuan thought it shouldn't be too bad, otherwise why would they be so confident that they could scare Emperor Yongyuan?

But now is obviously not the time to activate the formation. There are still many guests queuing outside to enter the Taiji Palace Square. If it causes any disturbance, it will be troublesome.

Li Xuan had to suppress his curiosity and wait to try this thing again later.

Tang Nu had not said much since just now, just carefully studying the star map he had just put together.

Knowing that it was just a sample product seemed to have solved many of his questions.

"Tang Nu, are you interested in this thing?"

Seeing this, Manager Shang thought that Tang Nu wanted to accept it.

As a result, Tang Nu just shook his head: "Although it is a simple formation, it is finely crafted and must be expensive."

"But I didn't expect..."

Tang Nu looked at the group of controlled Holy Fire Cult members and sighed.

Who would have thought that someone would spend so much energy and financial resources to make such a toy.

After knowing the principle of this simple formation, Tang Nu no longer had any curiosity about these formations that could be combined.

This thing is too practical, and they can't use this kind of useless thing in the Lijing Sect.

"Old Shang, since the matter is clear, I will take my leave if there is nothing else." Tang Nu bowed and said goodbye.

"Wait a minute, I'll take you there."

Shang Zongguan ordered his eunuchs to arrest the Holy Fire Cult members, and then followed Tang Nu.

Tang Nu knew that Shang Zongguan had something to say to him in private, so he didn't refuse.

Li Xuan stood on Shang Zongguan's shoulder and looked at Tang Nu a few more times.

Although it was their first meeting today, Li Xuan still had a deep impression of Tang Nu.

Although this eunuch in black clothes who is in charge of the Lijing Gate is taciturn, he is a man who values ​​efficiency.

Li Xuan likes to cooperate with such people.

Tang Nu saw that Li Xuan was looking at him straight, his eyes were full of curiosity, and he actually nodded at Li Xuan, bowed and said:

"Master Xuan, it's our first meeting."

Li Xuan was a little surprised, and asked him through voice transmission: "Do you know me?"

"Of course, your majesty always mentions you to me." Tang Nu replied.

Li Xuan smiled. Even people in this palace like Tang Nu can speak well. It is almost a basic quality.

"My master also praised you."

"Your master?" Li Xuan was stunned, but then he realized that Tang Nu was introducing himself.

The eunuchs in the palace are also divided into factions and several branches.

This Tang Nu is also a disciplined person. He made this information clear when he met Li Xuan for the first time to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.

"It's Master Ye. Master Xuan should be familiar with him."

Tang Nu's answer surprised Li Xuan again.

He didn't expect that Tang Nu, who looked ordinary, was actually Ye Lao's apprentice.

Ye Lao was very capable and had a high vision.

But Li Xuan didn't know much about Ye Lao's lineage. Ye Lao usually guarded Qianxing Pavilion and rarely communicated with other people. He never mentioned these things in front of Li Xuan.

He didn't even mention that there was a disciple like Tang Nu.

Tang Nu seemed to see Li Xuan's thoughts and immediately said, "There are only me and my master in our lineage. It is the lineage with the fewest people in the palace."

Li Xuan immediately understood.

With so few people, it can still be passed down. It seems that Ye Lao's lineage has something.

After introducing himself, Tang Nu looked at Shang, the chief steward on the side.

Shang, the chief steward, smiled and asked, "It's not about anything else. I just want to ask how the translation of the book about the Western Region Fire Demon is going?"    After Shang, the chief steward said this, Li Xuan also remembered this matter and immediately looked at Tang Nu curiously.

You know, that book probably records the Holy Fire Immortal Body technique that the Western Fire Demon secretly memorized.

Although the Western Fire Demon only memorized part of the first half of Sharon's practice, it was enough for him to comprehend the extraordinary magic technique and practice to the second level.

If Li Xuan gets this technique, he may be able to make up for it with his talent.

But Li Xuan, who was full of expectations, saw Tang Nu shook his head.

"The text on that book is not any Western text, but the secret text designed by the Western Fire Demon himself."

Hearing Tang Nu's words, Li Xuan and Shang Zongguan couldn't help showing surprise.

They didn't expect that the Western Fire Demon would be so cautious, and the text recorded in that book turned out to be the secret text he himself was involved in.

But the more so, doesn't it prove that the content of the book is very important?

"Tang Nu, you have to pay attention to this matter."

Shang Zongguan also realized the seriousness and reminded Tang Nu.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shang and Lord Xuan. His Majesty has ordered that the manuscript left by the Western Region Fire Demon should be cracked first."

"But the Western Region Fire Demon is from the Western Region after all, and he comes from a small country. He has decades of unknown experience in the middle, so it is not easy to crack the secret text. I am afraid it will take some time."

Tang Nu also expressed his difficulties.

Li Xuan and Shang Zongguan both understood this point. Only by understanding the background of the designer of the secret text can we understand the other party's design ideas.

But the Western Region Fire Demon is a person with a complicated background, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of cracking the secret guard.

At this time, Li Xuan suddenly thought of something and sent a voice message to Tang Nu: "Can you give me a copy? I also want to try to decipher it."

Tang Nu had no objection to this and agreed directly.

After learning about the progress of deciphering the secret text with Tang Nu, Shang Zongguan watched Tang Nu leave.

He still had a mission today and could not be too far away from the banquet venue.

"Manager Shang, can those members of the Holy Fire Church not make things too difficult for them?"

Li Xuan pleaded for them, which was not unexpected to Manager Shang.

"Do you still want to continue to do favors for the Holy Fire Church?"

"But these young people are too reckless. Are they really reformists?"

"Although their goals look similar, the reformists can occupy a place in the Holy Fire Church. They can't all be so reckless and ignorant."

"It's suspicious that they can become representatives of the tribute team."

Manager Shang expressed his thoughts.

Li Xuan also nodded and said in a voice transmission: "Their saint girl did remind me before, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

"Rather than letting those people execute the plan, I prefer that they are here to deliver it."

Shang Zongguan shook his head and had a different opinion: "Not necessarily. Although the method was reckless, they did hide from the inspection of entering the palace."

"But even if it succeeds, I'm afraid it will not be worth the loss."

"It seems that the situation of the Holy Fire Sect is not as simple as we know."

"Ah Xuan, it seems that you have to pay more attention to it."

Shang Zongguan joked, and Li Xuan could only smile helplessly.

I thought I had a martial arts holy land as a helper, but I didn't expect that the Holy Fire Sect had a lot of messes. If they want to use the power of the Holy Fire Sect for them, they will inevitably have to solve these messy problems first.

After discussing the Holy Fire Cult with Shang Zongguan for a while, the man and the cat went their separate ways.

After a while, it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner to begin.

When Li Xuan went back to look for Princess Ankang, he found that they had come down from the city wall and entered the banquet venue and sat down in advance.

The seats of the princes and princesses were relatively close to the front, while Yu'er was waiting with other attendants not far away.

The other guests had already sat down and prepared, and only the most conspicuous seats in the front were still empty.

Everyone understood that the more important the person, the later they would appear.

Li Xuan took a quick look and could see that the specifications of this banquet were higher than the last Chongyang banquet.

The scale, style, and even the cost of the banquet were obviously a level higher.

The venue of the entire banquet used festive red as the main color, and there were also gold and black as embellishments.

In addition, there was another big difference from the last Chongyang banquet.

That was that Princess Ankang, who was originally ignored, became a hot commodity tonight.

As soon as Li Xuan arrived, he saw a group of people surrounding Princess Ankang, queuing up to get close and say a few words.

"What's going on?"

Li Xuan was confused, not knowing what was going on.

Because there were too many people, Princess Ankang couldn't continue to sit in her seat, otherwise it would cause a lot of disturbance to others.

Princess Ankang walked to an open space next to her seat, and the people who came to find Princess Ankang also gathered here.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect that after a few months, you are still as charming as ever."

"I heard that your health is getting better and better, which is really a blessing for Daxing."

"After your highness took the position of the royal silver and money envoy, I heard that the treasury was unprecedentedly full, and it really made money."

"..."

A group of people who came from nowhere flattered Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan looked at their clothes. There were many officials among them, and their ranks were not low.

"Zheng Wang's people?"

These people looked like civil servants. Li Xuan couldn't figure out why they came to Princess Ankang to get close to her.

In addition to them, there were many people who were not wearing official uniforms, but judging from their clothes, they were all from prominent backgrounds.

"That's right, there are no ordinary people who can attend the banquet tonight."

Li Xuan also saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

"Chai Rongrong."

The wife of General Ningyuan's mansion was also an old acquaintance of Concubine Xiao.

In fact, General Ningyuan was once proud in the officialdom because of his relationship with Concubine Xiao, but he was also marginalized as Concubine Xiao lost power, and he was considered to be Concubine Xiao's old subordinate.

Chai Rongrong leaned against a middle-aged soldier, who should be General Ningyuan himself.

General Ningyuan was wearing a luxurious warrior uniform, but it looked a bit old and the style was not popular in the capital in recent years.

"It seems that with the brilliance of Princess Ankang, these old subordinates of Concubine Xiao have also become active."

"After Chai Rongrong visited once before, there was no news. I thought she had given up."

Li Xuan sneered and did not have a good impression of this Chai Rongrong.

Princess Ankang had been outside the palace for quite a while before, and Chai Rongrong had visited her once.

Later, when Princess Ankang was reorganizing the government office, they did not come to help.

Although having the strength is one thing, having the attitude is more important.

"If you want to curry favor with the powerful, you have to see if you have the ability."

Li Xuan looked at General Ningyuan and Chai Rongrong who were squeezed out of the crowd, because they could not get close to Princess Ankang, and wanted to squeeze in but did not dare to squeeze in, and shook his head slightly.

Just when Princess Ankang was tired of dealing with the crowd, a voice suddenly came:

"The Dukes are here!"
