Chapter 398 Employer

"General Manager, there is a major discovery!"

Li Xuan acted like a lackey and bowed.

This funny look made General Manager Shang laugh out loud, and he asked:

"Oh, then why don't you tell us quickly, spy Xuan!"

All the people sitting near the tea beach were his own people, so General Manager Shang had no scruples.

At that moment, Li Xuan told General Manager Shang everything about his previous discovery.

He also emphasized the last letter Yang Wanli wrote to his employer.

"It's decisive. The Jinqian Gang's vision is not bad at all."

General Manager Shang sighed.

He knew that this matter would not end so easily, but he didn't expect that it would be traced to the Jinqian Gang.

And it seems that the Jinqian Gang also takes money to do things, and it is still unknown who the employer behind them is.

But anyway, this time they also took the opportunity to get closer to the half of the treasure map.

With clues about the Jinqian Gang, they can always find the people who hired them behind the scenes.

Others may not be able to do it, but the person in front of Li Xuan is Shang Zongguan. Who in the palace does not know the ability of this former Zongguan of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

"Ah Xuan, you have made a great contribution this time. I will report this to His Majesty."

Li Xuan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, knowing that his reward was inevitable.

Just as Li Xuan and Zongguan Shang finished talking, Xu Lang appeared at the right time and came to their side to report:

"Zongguan, the net is closed."

"Although most of them have been caught, there are still a few fish that slipped through the net."

"Please forgive me, Zongguan!"

It was not convenient for Xu Lang to kneel down and apologize outside, so he just lowered his head deeply.

Zongguan Shang shook his head and didn't take it to heart.

"Forget it, there are too many of them, this is inevitable."

"Just catch the main ones."

Seeing that Shang Zongguan didn't care about this detail, Xu Lang was relieved and asked:

"I wonder what to do with Hadir?"

"Keep him, he has other uses."

Shang Zongguan smiled slightly, obviously he had already made arrangements for Hadir.

Xu Lang nodded, wrote down the matter, and then left at Shang Zongguan's signal.

Li Xuan knew that Shang Zongguan didn't just take Hadir for a ride.

The tails behind were all wrapped up, and even the pancake vendor should have been controlled.

An ordinary person without martial arts, after exposing his identity, naturally couldn't escape the pursuit of the flowery eunuch.

At this time, even if the toes are flexible, it's useless.

"After working hard for most of the day, I finally got some results."

"Ah Xuan, how do you think we should deal with the Money Gang?"

Shang Zongguan asked Li Xuan with a smile.

"If they dare to mess with Daxing, we must destroy them."

"We should get rid of these moral scums who harm society as soon as possible."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for protecting the royal family, which is our responsibility."

"We should give an explanation to your majesty, Daxing, the world, and the people!"

Li Xuan looked righteous.

"Uh..."

"Ah Xuan, you are a good material for being a treacherous minister."

Shang Zongguan joked with a smile.

What can the little cat do in the face of such slander?

"Hey, how can you talk like that, old man!"

Of course, Li Xuan only thought about this in his heart, and his face was full of shock and grievance.

"Don't pretend. I know you have a grudge against the Money Gang and you don't like these underground gangs."

"But the Money Gang can't be destroyed just like that. They have been operating in the capital for many years and have inextricable relations with many forces."

Speaking of this, Shang Zongguan waved to Li Xuan and asked him to lean over.

Li Xuan was curious about what Shang Zongguan was going to say secretly, so he quickly leaned over.

"Ah Xuan, let me teach you a lesson."

"If you want to be a good minister, you must learn to figure out the intentions of the superiors. Whether the Money Gang is destroyed or not is not up to us."

"Maybe His Majesty wants to keep the Money Gang."

"If so, you have done a bad thing with good intentions and shot yourself in the foot?"

Shang Zongguan said softly and blinked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan frowned after hearing this.

"What do you mean?"

"Is Shang the chief steward trying to tell me that Emperor Yongyuan is also related to the Money Gang?"

Li Xuan was confused for a moment, but he did not easily express his opinion this time.

Today's action was over, and Shang the chief steward led Li Xuan to start the team.

The complicated affairs below were naturally handled by the flowery eunuchs, and Li Xuan only needed to return to Xingqing Palace with Shang the chief steward.

After returning, Shang the chief steward seemed to have a lot of things to do, so he let Li Xuan act freely.

After Li Xuan came back, he found that the two girls were practicing hard, and he felt relieved.

When Princess Ankang and Yu'er saw Li Xuan coming back, they immediately surrounded him and asked him how the things he and Shang Zongguan did were going.

Regarding this morning's action, Li Xuan only told the two girls a general idea, and did not make it clear what he was going to do.

Now that Li Xuan returned safely, they naturally couldn't help their curiosity.

Li Xuan briefly recounted the cause and effect.

When she heard that the Money Gang was behind the scenes, Princess Ankang immediately said indignantly:

"I knew these bad guys would not turn over a new leaf!"

"I thought they were pretending to be like this these days, but they are still making trouble behind the scenes."

But then, Princess Ankang tilted her head and asked Li Xuan:

"But Ah Xuan, why did Shang Zongguan tell you that?"

"Does my father really have anything to do with the Money Gang?"

It can be seen that Princess Ankang does not want her guess to be true.

At first, when he saw that the fourth prince had a close relationship with Yang Wanli, he was quite disappointed with the Daxing royal family.

If Emperor Yongyuan was involved with the Money Gang again, Princess Ankang would probably be ashamed of her identity.

If this is true, then to some extent, Princess Ankang has also become one of the evil people who oppressed Xiao Cui and other ordinary people?

Princess Ankang didn't want to believe that Daxing has become so corrupt now.

Li Xuan also saw Princess Ankang's thoughts, and immediately stretched out his claws, touched Princess Ankang's head, and comforted her:

"It's hard to say what the truth is."

"Maybe the situation is very complicated."

Since he knew that there were many factions in the court and they were fighting openly and secretly, Li Xuan didn't dare to make any conclusions.

After all, in this situation, what could not happen?

Let's leave the troubles behind to Emperor Yongyuan and the monk manager.

Li Xuan only needs to do his part and get his part of the reward.

As for the rest, let's wait until he grows up.

Wear pants that fit your butt.

His little cat's butt is still small, so it doesn't need much fabric.

Li Xuan changed the topic and didn't talk to Princess Ankang about this matter. Instead, he gave guidance to the two people's practice.

It turned out that Princess Ankang was the best at the stone-slinging method, and Li Xuan had neglected it for a long time.

The little cat who was posing as a teacher was immediately slapped in the face.

But Li Xuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. Relying on the advantages of cultivation and Yin-Yang Qi, he learned and practiced on the spot and made up for the progress crazily.

In order to practice Qi as soon as possible, he didn't put too much energy on this special method.

Moreover, if you want to practice this method to perfection, you need a certain level of cultivation to support it.

After all, if you want to shoot all the red lights on the special chessboard, you need considerable finger strength as support.

Now that Li Xuan has been promoted to the sixth rank and possesses Yin-Yang Qi, he has greatly improved the progress of the Stone Slinging Technique, which has barely surpassed Princess Ankang and qualified him to give instructions again.

"Although this little girl is not as strong and fast as me, she can't resist practicing these techniques."

"Moreover, the Stone Slinging Technique is different from other martial arts. Princess Ankang will not induce the coldness in her body when she practices it normally."

"According to her terrifying talent, it is not impossible for her to perfect the Stone Slinging Technique before me in the future."

If the Stone Slinging Technique did not require strength, Princess Ankang would not have practiced the Stone Slinging Technique long ago, according to the speed at which Princess Ankang could perfect the ninth rank technique after only three practices.

Moreover, Li Xuan now thought carefully and found that Princess Ankang's Stone Slinging Technique did have extraordinary power.

Even if Yu'er, who is about to complete the eighth rank breakthrough, is not necessarily stronger than Princess Ankang in terms of the lethality of the Flying Dragon Sleeve.

More importantly, the damage and output frequency of Princess Ankang's Stone Slinging Technique are now very stable.

If Yu'er wanted to unleash the strongest lethality, she could only use the killing move of the Flying Dragon Sleeve.

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised to find that Princess Ankang's strength seemed to have surpassed Yu'er before he knew it.

"Is the chill in the little girl's body really some kind of evil talent?"

...

In the next few days, Li Xuan stayed with the two girls in Xingqing Palace, and occasionally accompanied them to stroll on the street.

And there was news from Manager Shang.

The Money Gang didn't seem to be anything, but Manager Shang had already found out who their employer was.

Speaking of which, even Li Xuan was surprised.

It turned out that the one who hired the Money Gang was King Zheng!

Looking at Manager Shang's expression that didn't seem to be a joke, Li Xuan knew that this was the real owner they had been investigating for so long.

It's really a narrow road for enemies.

It seems that the other half of the treasure map is in the hands of King Zheng.

Manager Shang specifically told Li Xuan to forget about this matter for the time being and investigate it later when there is a chance. Now is not the time to alarm the snake.

At least, now they know that their opponent is King Zheng.

But King Zheng doesn't know that the other half of the treasure map is in their hands.

Only by continuing to hide their identities in secret and waiting for an opportunity can they have a greater chance of winning.

Seeing that Shang Zongguan was so cautious, Li Xuan also understood that it was not an easy task to seize the other half of the treasure map from King Zheng.

He could only follow what Shang Zongguan said and forget about it for the time being, and wait for an opportunity later.

"Did they naturally come to the opposite side?"

After hearing the news, Li Xuan thought silently in the room.

Shang Zongguan looked at Li Xuan's reaction and then said:

"By the way, Xuan."

"You said before that you wanted to go to the Sun and Moon Yin and Yang Pond to practice, and His Majesty has allowed it."

Li Xuan was delighted to hear the good news.

When he accompanied Doctor Xue to conduct the cultivation experiment of Ziwu Twin Lotus, he accidentally discovered that the Yin Qi in the Moon Yin Pond could help him practice much faster than usual.

If he could practice in the Sun and Moon Yin and Yang Pond every day, he would be able to practice the Yin and Yang True Extreme Jue to perfection within a month.

After all, the progress of this technique is not slow on weekdays.

"You can go there tonight."

"Feng'er has made arrangements. I will let Xu Lang take you to the palace."

"As for the route to enter and exit the palace in the future, Feng'er will arrange it for you."

"Then you can go in and out by yourself."

Li Xuan naturally nodded with joy.

At night, Xu Lang drove a carriage to send Li Xuan into the palace, and then left on his own and returned to Xingqing Palace first.

Li Xuan followed Zhao Feng, who had been waiting here for a long time, to Yuqing Pond.

Arriving at the deepest part of Yuqing Pond, looking at the two familiar pools, Li Xuan showed a satisfied smile.

"Ah Xuan, the effect of the Sun Flame Pond is the strongest these days. Do you want to try the Sun Flame Pond tonight?"

Zhao Feng suggested casually.

Li Xuan had the same idea originally, so there was no problem.

The last time he entered the Moon Pond was because Doctor Xue chose the relatively mild Moon Pond for the purpose of conducting a cultivation experiment.

Therefore, Li Xuan couldn't help but guess that perhaps the more effective water in the pond could stimulate his cultivation speed more.

This was not the first time that Li Xuan entered the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond, and his current strength was also much better than before, so he didn't hesitate too much and plunged directly into the boiling Sun Flame Pond.

Zhao Feng stayed on the shore to protect Li Xuan and look after the surroundings.

As soon as he entered the Sun Flame Pond, the Yin and Yang Qi in Li Xuan's body was instantly stimulated and circulated rapidly in his body.

Similar to the situation in the Moon Pond, the Sun Flame Pond was filled with pure Yang Qi accumulated over the years.

No need to think, it was still related to the formation at the bottom of the pond.

"It would be great if this formation could be engraved on me."

Li Xuan couldn't help but have a sudden thought.

If such a formation was engraved on him, wouldn't it mean that he would have an additional auxiliary pendant on his body to help him absorb pure Yang Qi and extreme Yin Qi?

Just thinking about it makes me feel good.

In a few days, they will go to Qianxing Pavilion. Li Xuan wants to find a few books on formations as soon as possible, learn about them, and see if his ideas can be realized.

After all, the formation at the bottom of the pool is a bit too big, and Li Xuan is too small, so a mini one will be enough.

"I don't know who drew the formation at the bottom of the pool?"

Li Xuan had asked Zhao Feng about this formation before, but Zhao Feng didn't know much, and he was very secretive, obviously it was related to some secret.

Only Emperor Yongyuan knows the specific truth.

Li Xuan thought that he would ask Emperor Yongyuan clearly when he saw him next time.

Thinking about various questions, Li Xuan's body slowly sank, enjoying the warmth brought by the pure yang energy.

The scorching heat of the Sun Flame Pool that made him so unbearable before, now only made him feel comfortable and sour.

Especially seeing the rapid progress of Yin Yang Zhenji Jue, Li Xuan's mood is even better.

About an hour later, Li Xuan finally climbed up the shore, still looking a little reluctant to leave.

Zhao Feng, who was waiting on the shore, yawned and joked:

"I thought you were going to sleep down there tonight."

Li Xuan thought so, but as time went by, he found that the progress of Yin Yang Zhen Ji Jue was getting slower and slower, and finally returned to the same speed as usual.

Li Xuan didn't know whether this was because the effect of the Sun and Moon Yin Yang Pond had reached its limit, or because the pure Yang Qi he could absorb today had reached its limit.

After he got ashore, he hurriedly said hello to Zhao Feng, and then dived into the nearby Yue Yin Pond.

After taking a hot bath, he went to take a cold bath, which still felt very sour and refreshing.

However, what disappointed Li Xuan was that the progress of Yin Yang Zhen Ji Jue had not changed significantly, and even the extreme Yin Qi could not stimulate the Yin Yang Qi in Li Xuan's body.

Li Xuan reluctantly went ashore again, and urged the Yin Yang Qi in his body to dry his hair instantly.

After having the true qi, life has become much more convenient.

"What's wrong?"

"Is there a problem?"

Zhao Feng saw Li Xuan's sad face and couldn't help asking.

Li Xuan talked about his current situation and added at the end:

"I hope it's just the limit for today."

When he came, Li Xuan was still looking forward to completing the Yin-Yang True Extreme Jue within a month, but now it seems that it may be difficult to say.

"What do I think?" Zhao Feng waved his hand after listening, and then said: "Just try again tomorrow, is there any need to be so sad?"

"But, it's rare to have such help..."

Before Li Xuan finished writing, Zhao Feng interrupted:

"Ah Xuan, you have to understand one thing. What you are practicing now is the Yin-Yang true qi that countless warriors dream of."

"If anyone has your current achievements, or in such a short time, they will wake up with a smile in their dreams, right?"

Zhao Feng knew very well that Li Xuan had been practicing for less than a year at most, or even just over half a year.

With such a speed of cultivation, even if the second princess of Daxing, who is the most evil, is pulled out, she can't beat this little cat.

But even so, Li Xuan is still not satisfied.

Li Xuan immediately realized that he had inadvertently hurt the self-confidence of many ordinary warriors like Zhao Feng, and immediately grinned embarrassedly.

Zhao Feng saw Li Xuan's heartless appearance and said unhappily:

"Okay, I'll send you out of the palace now, and we'll talk tomorrow!"

Zhao Feng took Li Xuan to walk the route in and out of the palace planned for him.

This route was under Zhao Feng's responsibility, and he had already made arrangements, asking those who could discover Li Xuan's existence to turn a blind eye, and even secretly take care of him, so that Li Xuan would not be in any danger.

Zhao Feng sent Li Xuan out of the palace, and finally instructed:

"Have you memorized the route?"

"You can go in and out on your own in the future. Come and say hello to me before you go to the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond to practice. I will accompany you when I have time."

"If you really can't find me, you can practice by yourself, but be careful and safe, and don't let anything unexpected happen."

As Zhao Feng said this, he took out a small square brocade box from his arms and handed it to Li Xuan.

"According to the time, Yu'er's practice should have reached the bottleneck of breakthrough."

"There is a solid pill in it, which can help her break through to the eighth level faster."

When Li Xuan took the solid pill, he couldn't help but give Zhao Feng a small look, and the meaning was very clear.

"Why didn't you take out this good stuff before?"

Zhao Feng was also a smart man, so he understood what Li Xuan meant and immediately scolded:

"Hey, you little cat!"

"Which of those natural treasures you ate back then was not more precious than the solid pill?"

"How dare you look at me like that now."

After hearing this, Li Xuan immediately retracted his gaze, silently put the solid pill into the Emperor Hong bone ring, turned around and ran away, saving Zhao Feng from nagging.

Zhao Feng wanted to say something else, but watching Li Xuan running away, he could only shake his head helplessly and scolded with a smile:

"This little thing!"
