There are still too few available people around them.

Although there are always flowery eunuchs protecting them, it is not convenient to use them for some things.

Flowery eunuchs are a group of people with relatively distinct characteristics. When they go outside, just standing there, you will know that they are not easy to mess with.

Therefore, Li Xuan also needs people other than flowery eunuchs.

More importantly, it is time to add some people to Jingyang Palace.

It’s just that Li Xuan will be more cautious in considering the candidates. After all, the people he brings in are all intended to be trained as his own people.

Princess Ankang took Li Xuan and put him in the self-made formation that she was experimenting with.

Li Xuan has gotten used to it these days.

Moreover, he can also observe how the formation draws the power of the five elements of heaven and earth in the formation, and deepen his understanding of the five elements.

"Go out to play tonight, meow."

Li Xuan said to Princess Ankang.

"Yes, sister Yu'er and I are ready!"

"Is Auntie Sha going with us?"

Princess Ankang asked excitedly. She was still looking forward to the Lantern Festival tonight.

Xiao Cui had told her before how lively the Lantern Festival would be.

Yu'er took Sharon to familiarize herself with Jingyang Palace, while Li Xuan accompanied Princess Ankang to practice formations. The day passed in a flash.

When night fell, all the people in Jingyang Palace left the palace to participate in the lantern festival at night.

It was also the first time for Sharon to act with the three little ones.

She sat in front of the carriage, sitting side by side with Xu Lang who was driving.

Xu Lang looked at Sharon twice more.

He knew that there was an old woman from the Western Regions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs before, but after not seeing her for a few days, she looked much younger for some reason.

Sharon had a Western-style appearance, so she was very eye-catching in the palace, but she only stayed in Jingyang Palace, which could save her a lot of trouble.

Moreover, the Jingyang Palace is no longer the same as it was in the past. Not many people in the palace dare to trouble them now.

Tonight, they went to the East Market first.

The Flower Street there is also a big lantern festival, and they plan to go there first to take a look.

Arriving at the gate of the East Market, Xu Lang parked the carriage, and everyone got off the carriage and walked into the lantern festival along the newly decorated Flower Street.

Various stalls for guessing riddles and playing games were set up on both sides of the road. The prizes included lanterns, snacks, accessories, etc., all of which were activities organized by nearby businesses.

Each brothel also set up a stage for its own courtesan to perform on stage.

However, today is a festival suitable for all ages, so the talents performed are much lighter than in the past. Most of them are elegant categories such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or the courtesan herself sets questions to guess riddles in pairs.

For the people, this is already a rare entertainment activity in the whole year.

After all, it is difficult to see these expensive courtesans on weekdays.

Today, everyone can feast their eyes and broaden their horizons.

After the three children came to the flower street several times, they were no longer surprised by these things, and they had a special liking for joining in the fun.

The most fun thing in Daxing is still this kind of fun activity.

Therefore, there is such a festival, and the three children are unwilling to miss it.

And Sharon seemed to have seen such a scene for the first time. Although she followed closely behind the three children, her eyes were already too busy.

She looked at the children who were walking in groups on the road and laughing constantly, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Sharon was trained by the Holy Fire Religion since she was a child. When she grew up, she naturally became a saint, and she never left the main temple.

When she was a saint, she only listened to the opinions of the guardians and elders in the religion, and she only needed to confirm at the end.

For her, the most important thing every day is to practice.

Practicing the magic skills of the religion to a higher level is the most important task for her as a saint.

This kind of life did not change until she met Ignis.

But even during that time, they only played within the scope of the headquarters.

Sharon's happy time did not last too long, and then Ignis betrayed her, and then she didn't remember much about the following years.

She only felt that she had a long nightmare, and when she woke up, she found that she had turned into a scary old woman.

Sharon realized at that time that the phantom she accidentally glimpsed in the nightmare was actually herself.

But now her heart seems to have calmed down.

The world in her eyes has become beautiful again somehow.

And such changes are all brought to her by Li Xuan.

Sharon looked at Li Xuan, who was curled up in Princess Ankang's arms, with an extremely gentle look.

I'm afraid that except for herself, no one can understand how significant the new life that Li Xuan brought to her is.

Li Xuan noticed Sharon's gaze, looked at Princess Ankang over her shoulder, tilted his head slightly, and didn't know why she was staring at him like that.

Sharon smiled at Li Xuan, and the warmth in her heart gradually became hot.

"Thanks to the guidance of the Holy Fire, I was able to meet Master Xuan."

Sharon said silently in her heart.

She could feel that the three little ones were still wary of her.

But Sharon was not disappointed, but had unprecedented motivation.

She believed that one day, her sincerity would move them and gain their trust.

The group walked and stopped along the way, passed through the lively lantern festival, and came to the door of Hu Yulou.

While they came out to play tonight, they also had a mission.

Princess Ankang walked in with Li Xuan in her arms. Ayimu and Fang Muyang had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw the person coming, they hurriedly greeted them.

"Your Highness has come a long way, and if you miss him, please tell me upstairs."

Fang Muyang stepped forward to say hello.

Li Xuan also looked at this guy twice.

He hadn't seen Fang Muyang for a long time. He had been busy discussing business with the Holy Fire Sect the last few times, and he almost forgot about this guy's existence.

Fang Muyang is now the nominal owner of Hu Yulou. On weekdays, he is mainly responsible for giving lessons to the girls in Hu Yulou who are willing to learn medical skills. In other time, he goes out to receive medical treatment as before.

Ayimu did not treat Fang Muyang badly, and privately gave him a monthly salary to teach medical skills, and he lived a comfortable life.

After Fang Muyang avenged Qianqian, he finally felt relieved. Although he was admitted to Taiyuan Hospital, he did not go to register and planned to stay in Huajie from now on.

Being able to help a girl like Qian Qian made Fang Muyang feel that his life still had meaning.

"My benefactor, long time no see."

People who don't know why may think that Fang Muyang is saluting Princess Ankang.

But anyone who knows the truth knows who Fang Muyang is thanking.

Princess Ankang lifted Li Xuan up in her arms, then picked up one of his cat claws and struck at Fang Muyang.

"Meow!"

Li Xuan screamed in dissatisfaction, making Princess Ankang laugh.

Then everyone went upstairs to reminisce about old times. During the banquet, Li Xuan told Ayimu that they would be touring the south next month and asked the Holy Fire Sect to continue to contact the eunuch dressed as a hawker at the door if anything happened.

But if he is on his southern tour, he may not be able to reply to them in time.

Although Ayimu felt sorry that Li Xuan was leaving the capital for a while, she still agreed obediently.

"Master Axuan, I heard that the main altar has sent people over, including people from the three factions. Master also asked me to tell you."

Ayimu said to Li Xuan privately.

Li Xuan was a little surprised by this.

"Didn't you expect Nilubair's movements to be quite fast?"

Since their last Holy Fire message, the reformist disciples stationed in the capital have indeed taken action.

Zhao Feng followed the emperor's order and held a secret discussion with them. After that, the reform disciples began to plan to preach.

It's just that they seemed to have planned this first event, and did not choose to be in the most prosperous capital city. Instead, they left the team one after another, not knowing where they were going.

Zhao Feng only monitored them until they left the capital, and ignored them after leaving the capital.

Zhao Feng and his reform disciples left each other a message method so that they could communicate at any time.

Moreover, if there is anything wrong in the general direction, Li Xuan can also directly contact Nilu Baier through Hu Yulou.

No matter what tricks the reformists try to play, to be honest, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has nothing to do.

The next top priority must be the southern patrol, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot allocate excess power to monitor the people of the Holy Fire Sect.

I just hope that the Holy Fire Sect will understand current affairs and not make any small moves.

After explaining to Ayimu, the three little ones stood up and left.

Ayimu personally escorted them to the gate of Dongshi, reluctantly said goodbye to Li Xuan, and nodded secretly to Sharon.

She recognized Sharon and wasn't even surprised by Sharon's change.

"It would be strange not to become younger when I can serve Master A-Xuan."

Ayimu's thoughts were very simple, and he was even a little jealous of Sharon's good life.

If she hadn't been a direct disciple of the contemporary saint and a candidate saint recommended by the Balance Sect, she would have run away with Li Xuan long ago.

Ayimu looked at the carriage going away and couldn't help but said sadly:

"Alas, Master made a mistake for me——"

"Obviously I was the first to discover Lord A-Xuan."

"O(≧口≦)O"

Then, the three little ones visited Ci'en Temple and Taiqing Temple one after another.

In Ci'en Temple, Monk Chengche was still waiting.

It's time for him to prepare to go home.

The disciples of Fuhu Temple have spent a restless year outside, and they must return to a place where they can live in peace.

They had already sent people to notify Fuyun Temple.

But it is still unknown when this first Buddhist temple will respond to them.

But during this period, Monk Chengcheng did not always hide in Ci'en Temple to recuperate.

After the fire demon in the Western Region was defeated and killed, Master Chenghai made peace with the master and there was no way out.

As for the monk Chengcheng who was involved, he had long been prepared to fight to the death.

During this period, Li Xuan didn't know whether they had found any trustworthy helpers in Buddhism.

They just came to inform Monk Chengche tonight that they would go home with the southern tour team on the first day of next month.

As for what the situation will be like when they return home, I believe that Monk Chengche and the disciples of Fuhu Temple have already realized this.

If they can't get justice in front of Emperor Yongyuan who is patrolling the south, then Fuhu Temple may not be able to get it back in this life.

As for Taiqingguan, Princess Ankang made a request.

Princess Ankang asked Taoist Master Sanxi to accompany her on her southern tour because there were no experts around her.

Regarding this request, Taoist Master Sanxi did not immediately agree, but said that he needed to think about it.

They were just trying to win over Taoist Priest Sanxi and didn't have high expectations.

After all, Taoist Master Sanxi still has limited understanding of the situation.

The three little ones don't want to deceive Taoist Master Sanxi. If he chooses to agree, Princess Ankang will explain to him the real crisis of the southern tour. Then it will be up to him whether he is willing to wade into this muddy water.

After walking for a while, the moon was already over their heads.

After they came out of Taiqing Temple, they went straight to the Western Market not far away.

This is also their final destination tonight.

Xiaocui should have been waiting for them for a long time.

On an opportunity like tonight, Xiaocui and her grandfather would naturally not go home to sleep, but would stay up all night in the West Market.

As before, the three little ones mingled with the crowd and came to the stall of Xiaocui and her grandfather.

Now Xiaocui has become more and more proficient in collecting intelligence among the people.

Although it has only been a few months, Xiaocui has become more capable and calm, completely unlike other girls of the same age.

Xiaocui now not only helps Princess Ankang collect intelligence among the people, but also secretly supports the actions of the Red Turban Team.

Of course, Xiaocui is just an ordinary person with no cultivation and can only provide intelligence assistance.

But Xiaocui's identity as an ordinary person is her best disguise for conducting intelligence work.

In the past few months, Xiaocui has also grown a lot. Not only can she recognize most commonly used words, but she has also secretly received spy training from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and has also made great progress in her professional ability in intelligence collection.

Princess Ankang also explained to her what happened after the southern tour. In addition, she needed to inform the Red Scarf Team to prepare for the southern tour together.

Now, the Red Scarf Team has also prepared a team and plans to follow Princess Ankang secretly.

The main force of this team is still the hunting officer of the North Team led by Wei Zhen. In addition, there are also some good players recruited from the world.

Chen Tan, Jiang Shanao and Yue Liuxiang are among them.

Of course, they didn't know much about the southern tour. They only thought it was an escort mission. Only Wei Zhen, as the captain, knew the dangers of this trip.

And a clever guy like Chen Tan might have guessed a thing or two.

But he had no choice. Unless King Zheng died, he would not be able to live in peace for a day. He did not want to wear a human skin mask for the rest of his life and remain anonymous.

After all, he was a hero who had been the leader of the Money Gang, so he still had some ambition.

After explaining everything, Princess Ankang could relax and enjoy the lantern festival with Xiao Cui.

Just like when they first met, Xiaocui took them to play with the projects at the lantern festival.

Li Xuan lay comfortably in the arms of Princess Ankang, watching the lantern festival that was still lively until late at night, and listening to the laughter and laughter from the crowd.

This atmosphere made him feel extremely at ease.

What the people want is actually very simple.

A little rush and a little sweetness are enough to live a peaceful life.

If it were all suffering, no one would be able to endure it.

Bang bang...

"Axuan, look!"

Princess Ankang shouted to Li Xuan, picked him up and put him on her head.

Li Xuan hugged Princess Ankang's head out of habit and looked up to see fireworks exploding in the night sky.

Fireworks are very simple, they just make a sound and light up.

It was completely incomparable to the fireworks at the palace's New Year's dinner.

But the people at the lantern festival shouted "Hello" one after another, and the children also climbed on the necks of the adults one by one. Like Li Xuan, they hugged each other obediently and did not let go. Only their little heads were raised high, and they looked at the explosion carefully. Fireworks going off.

Bang, flash, go out...

Simple repetition brings endless joy to people.

During the Lantern Festival on the 15th, the three little ones played until the early morning of the 16th before reluctantly returning to the palace.

Yu'er went to take Princess Ankang to freshen up and catch up on her sleep.

Sharon went to clean up her room.

There isn't much else in Jingyang Palace, but there are plenty of empty rooms.

Jade found a bedroom for Sharon next to her own room.

Being accompanied all night long did not make Sharon feel tired. On the contrary, she was a little excited at this time and had no sleep at all.

"Meow."

Sharon, who was making the bed, heard the sound and turned around to find Li Xuan lying on the table.

"Master Axuan, are you still awake?"

Sharon happily dropped what she was doing.

"I have something to ask you, meow."

Li Xuan said, taking out a piece of paper that he had previously shown to Ayimu and Xie Qingmo.

"Can you understand the words on this, meow?"

Li Xuan asked directly.

Sharon took the note, glanced at it, and laughed.

But at the same time, a tear ran down her cheek.

"This idiot is still using such childish words."

Sharon's voice trembled slightly, as if she was complaining or reluctant to give up.

"well--"

Sharon let out a long sigh, put down the note, and said to Li Xuan:

"I'm still wondering when Master A Xuan will come to ask me?"

When Li Xuan received the confirmed answer, he was not as happy as he imagined. Instead, he lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

Sharon smiled slightly and didn't care.

"Lord Axuan, this is a text created by Ignis and I. It's actually not difficult."

"The words from my hometown, plus the words from his hometown, are combined in an order that only we know."

Sharon said, wiping the tears from her cheeks.

"Master Axuan, don't worry."

"The words he left behind are not the secrets of the Holy Fire Cult. I can help you decipher them."

Sharon extended her hand to Li Xuan and said.

"But your body, meow..."

Li Xuan looked worried.

"It doesn't matter, I've given up." Sharon said firmly.

Li Xuan thought for a while and finally took out the copy he got from Tang Nu.

After Sharon took it, she calmed down and opened the first page.

But after just one glance, Sharon's tears could no longer be stopped, flowing down like a broken dam.

Li Xuan was stunned, not knowing what happened to her.

Li Xuan was afraid that Sharon would be too excited, and was about to snatch the book to stop her from reading on.

But at this moment, Sharon read the first paragraph of the beginning to Li Xuan in a trembling voice.

"Dear Sharon:

When you see this book, I should have died in your arms.

This is the best ending for me.

When I started writing these words, I already knew that I would not have any better ending.

Don't be sad, but please hate me.

This way, at least you will still remember me.

You are cowardly, incompetent and selfish, but I still love you deeply, Ignis."
