Chapter 459: Pretend to Be Real

Within Li Xuan's perception range, the traces of the two stewards and Deng Weixian appeared at the same time.

But the location they were in at this time was very different from usual, and they were some distance away from Li Xuan.

"Why are they all in this place?"

"And Deng Weixian's moving speed seems a little too fast?"

Li Xuan frowned slightly, and then rushed to where Deng Weixian was without thinking.

Logically speaking, Deng Weixian only needed to continue serving Wang Suyue at this time, why would he run around outside.

Deng Weixian was no longer within the scope of Caiyun Palace, and it seemed that he was rushing there.

Judging from the direction he was moving, the destination was either the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Jingyang Palace farther away.

"Something is wrong."

Li Xuan felt something was wrong, and he jumped up and turned into a residual image, running wildly in the palace.

After his speed increased, the huge palace was not enough for him to gallop.

After a while, Li Xuan came to the vicinity of Deng Weixian's location.

But the sound he caught was clearly telling him that Deng Weixian was really in trouble.

"Little bastard, stop right there!"

"You've been caught by your grandfather, I'll make sure you're in trouble!"

The angry curses of two eunuchs came from not far away, and they were chasing Deng Weixian who was fleeing in a panic.

"Damn it, you dare to commit murder in the palace."

"Whose people are these?"

"What about the arrangements? Is this the arrangement that Old Zhao said?"

Li Xuan saw Deng Weixian, who was panting and frightened.

He was running out of breath now.

But even so, he didn't dare to slow down his pace at all.

Just because there were always two vicious eunuchs in black clothes chasing him behind him.

Just from their clothes, it was impossible to tell whose subordinates they were.

Li Xuan sensed from a distance and found that these two people were only the sixth-grade strength who had just practiced true qi.

But for Deng Weixian, it was definitely enough to kill him.

"It's hard for this kid to hold on until now."

At this moment, Deng Weixian's legs suddenly softened, and the whole person rolled into a ball, rolling a long way before stopping.

He didn't care about crying out in pain, he just wanted to get up quickly and continue running forward.

Not far ahead was the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Deng Weixian would be able to survive if he ran there.

But no matter how Deng Weixian struggled, he no longer had the strength to get up again.

He looked back and found that the two eunuchs were approaching quickly with a grin.

"Sister, I'm sorry..."

Deng Weixian sighed, but did not give up struggling, but clenched his hands and planned to fight to the death.

The two black-clothed eunuchs were full of disdain.

In their eyes, killing Deng Weixian was as easy as pie.

"Little bastard, if you hadn't been alert just now, how could your grandfathers let you live until now."

As the two black-clothed eunuchs rushed closer to Deng Weixian, they also silently practiced their skills, and hidden green and blue lights appeared in their hands, hitting Deng Weixian on the head.

But just as they raised their palms, a black line flashed between the two of them, leaving a little frost slowly falling.

Deng Weixian was ready to fight back, but after waiting for a long time, they still didn't move.

He instinctively felt something was wrong.

The next moment, the bodies of the two eunuchs in black clothes trembled slightly.

"Ah!!!"

"Ah!!!"

As the screams of the two men exploded, their bodies collapsed awkwardly, and each of them broke an arm and a leg.

With the middle of the two eunuchs in black clothes as the center, the two men broke their left and right limbs.

Connecting the black lines that flashed before, everything became reasonable.

Li Xuan walked gracefully from behind them with cat steps and slowly approached.

The first person to discover this abnormality was Deng Weixian, who collapsed on the ground.

"Ah Xuan... Sir."

He saw this familiar black cat and called softly.

The two eunuchs in black clothes who were about to take his life had completely lost their power to resist. They held their neat and cold limbs and screamed heartbreakingly.

The pain of broken hands and feet was enough, but their wounds were instantly frozen.

The coldness on the wounds continued to invade their bodies, like tiny ice cones as small as body hair, slowly piercing into their wounds, comparable to the pain of slow slicing.

Deng Weixian didn't see the previous changes clearly at all.

But Li Xuan's appearance and the serious injuries of the two eunuchs in black clothes happened at the same time, and no matter how stupid he was, he could think of the reason.

"Ah Xuan..."

Deng Weixian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately.

"Thank you for saving my life!"

Deng Weixian couldn't get up, raised his trembling hands and saluted Li Xuan.

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile at Deng Weixian who was so sensible.

Since he entered the palace and spent time with Zhao Bugao, Li Xuan knew that Deng Weixian had a bright future.

Although Deng Weixian is taciturn and doesn't talk much on weekdays, he knows how to behave.

Knowing how to behave is much more important than having ability.

Especially when you don't have any ability.

Li Xuan came to Deng Weixian's side to see if he was injured. He was relieved after confirming that he was fine.

After Deng Weixian took a while to calm down, he finally staggered to his feet, but his hands and feet were still shaking.

Li Xuan knew that he was not completely scared, but also because of excessive physical exhaustion.

"What's wrong with old Zhao?"

"Didn't you say that everything was arranged?"

If Li Xuan hadn't arrived in time, Deng Weixian would have been finished.

But according to Zhao Feng's style of doing things, he would never make such a big mistake.

Li Xuan released his perception and found that the two stewards were still staying in the previous place.

"I'm afraid they are in trouble."

Li Xuan shook his head and didn't rush over.

If it was a problem that the two stewards couldn't solve, Li Xuan's visit would probably be useless.

And compared to other things, it is more important to ensure the safety of Deng Weixian.

"And these two people."

Li Xuan turned his eyes to the two black-clothed eunuchs who were still struggling on the ground.

He had previously used the Ice Breath and the Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw to directly cut off their hands and feet.

For Li Xuan now, this matter is not much more difficult than cutting tofu.

What he didn't expect was that the effect of the Ice Breath was so good now.

Not even a drop of blood flowed out of the wounds of the two black-clothed eunuchs, all of them were frozen tightly.

The same was true for the broken hands and feet that fell on the ground. In just a blink of an eye, they were completely covered with a layer of frost.

Li Xuan looked at his claws and was very satisfied with his attack.

As Shang Zongguan had commented before, even if they were both sixth-grade warriors, the gap between Li Xuan and others was already unimaginable.

Now, even if he jumped a grade and fought against a fifth-grade warrior, he was quite confident.

Li Xuan touched Deng Weixian with his tail and quietly restored his condition with Yin-Yang Qi.

Deng Weixian suddenly felt a warm current surging in his body, and his rapid heartbeat and sore muscles gradually calmed down, and even his mind became much clearer.

Li Xuan saw that his condition had improved a lot, and then stretched out his tail and slowly wrote in the air:

"What's going on?"

Deng Weixian's heartbeat, which had just slowed down, started beating again when he saw this scene.

Seeing Deng Weixian's eyes go straight with fear, Li Xuan felt a little helpless.

After all, the fact that cats can write is probably a challenge to the common sense of ordinary people.

Seeing that Deng Weixian still needed some time to digest the sudden shock, Li Xuan walked towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs by himself, and did not forget to look back and meow, asking Deng Weixian to follow him quickly.

Deng Weixian hesitated, but still followed.

Li Xuan took Deng Weixian all the way to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and found two eunuchs in flowery clothes guarding the gate.

When they saw Li Xuan walking towards them, they immediately bowed and said:

"My lord."

Deng Weixian was originally surprised that Li Xuan was not only strong, but also could write.

As a result, the eunuchs in flowery clothes in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were even more respectful to Li Xuan, which made him curious about Li Xuan.

"No wonder the two stewards let a cat be the supervisor of the task."

"I wonder if my sister knows that the cats they raise are so powerful..."

Deng Weixian was originally a little afraid of Li Xuan.

After all, anyone who sees a cat display such an abnormal ability will feel terrified.

But when he thought of Li Xuan who had just saved his life and was the cat of Jingyang Palace where his sister lived, he gradually relaxed.

Seeing that the two eunuchs in flowery clothes who were guarding the door recognized him, Li Xuan saved a lot of effort.

He stretched out his tail and pointed at Deng Weixian behind him.

The two eunuchs in flowery clothes looked at Deng Weixian, not knowing what Li Xuan meant.

Deng Weixian's mind was clear at this time, and he immediately said:

"Two eunuchs, I am Xiao Dengzi who works in Banyue Courtyard of Caiyun Palace."

"Someone took me out with the token of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before, and then wanted to kill me. I fled all the way here. Fortunately, I was saved by Lord Xuan. The seriously injured murderer is not far away. Please follow me."

Deng Weixian briefly explained what happened.

When the two eunuchs in flowery clothes who were guarding the door heard that Deng Weixian was from Banyue Courtyard of Caiyun Palace, their faces changed, and they looked at each other with a solemn look.

But they all looked at Li Xuan for a second, and then they immediately made a decision.

"Wait for me for a while, I will take people with you."

After that, a flowery eunuch hurriedly ran in, and soon came out with a team of people.

They followed Li Xuan and Deng Weixian, and soon came to the place where the two black-clothed eunuchs were.

This place is not far from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and these two guys have lost their ability to move, so Li Xuan boldly left them here.

Of course, Li Xuan still wanted to fish, but unfortunately no one took the bait.

Such a close distance is completely within his perception.

If someone came to rescue the two black-clothed eunuchs, Li Xuan would directly visit them with a team of flowery eunuchs.

When Li Xuan returned, the two black-clothed eunuchs had fainted from the pain and lost consciousness.

At the same time as they arrived, a team of imperial guards also patrolled here. Seeing the flowery eunuchs present, they simply asked a few questions and left directly.

In the West Palace, the eunuchs in flowery clothes have a high status, and even the imperial guards in the palace do not have the power to interfere in their affairs at will.

This is the status of the Imperial Household Department, the department trusted by the emperor.

Otherwise, there would not be so many eunuchs who want to grab the position of the head of the Imperial Household Department.

The flowery-clothed eunuchs restrained the two black-clothed eunuchs with broken hands and feet and brought them back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

As for Deng Weixian, Li Xuan took him with him to prevent any accidents.

The two stewards were not in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Li Xuan was a little worried about leaving Deng Weixian alone there.

He thought it would be safer to keep him with him, so he asked Deng Weixian to follow him to find the two stewards.

The two stewards were in the southwest corner of the West Palace at this time, and they had not moved for a long time, and no one knew what they were doing there.

"Ah, Lord Xuan."

On the way, Deng Weixian called out a little nervously.

Li Xuan looked back at him, but his feet kept moving forward.

"Meow?"

Li Xuan tilted his head in confusion.

Deng Weixian saw the cute black cat in front of him, and it was difficult to connect the fact that he had hit the two black-clothed eunuchs with one blow before.

"Lord Xuan, you understand what I say, right?"

Li Xuan nodded as a matter of course.

Deng Weixian knew too little about Li Xuan, so it was not his fault.

On the contrary, compared with others, Deng Weixian's acceptance speed was already very fast.

"Master Xuan, thank you for saving my life."

"It's all my fault for being careless, so I was targeted by those two people."

Then, Deng Weixian continued to talk to himself:

"Master Xuan, let me report what happened from last night to now?"

Li Xuan was curious about this matter, and nodded immediately, letting Deng Weixian continue.

"Yesterday, with the two stewards as witnesses, my godfather told me to soak a strange leaf in the footbath that His Majesty was going to use."

"I thought it was just a play, but His Majesty seemed to be in real trouble."

"After that, the Banyue Courtyard where we were was blocked until the two people who were chasing me just now took me away with the token of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Hearing this, Li Xuan looked back in surprise and asked Deng Weixian:

"It was the eunuch in black clothes who came, not the eunuch in flowery clothes. Didn't that make you suspicious?"

In order to take care of Deng Weixian, Li Xuan deliberately wrote slowly.

After Deng Weixian saw the question clearly, he answered:

"At the beginning, it was the flower-clothed eunuchs who blocked Banyueyuan, and then for some reason they were replaced by the imperial guards."

"The imperial guards didn't dare to ask more questions when they saw the sign. I saw that the flower-clothed eunuchs were all transferred away, and I thought that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was short of manpower."

"As a result, I thought more and more that something was wrong on the way, so I found an opportunity to pee, but they reacted quickly and chased me before I could escape far, and then I met you, sir."

After listening to Deng Weixian's story, Li Xuan also sighed that this kid was lucky.

Li Xuan looked at his aura and saw that he was also an eighth-grade cultivation. From the looks of it, he was not far from the seventh-grade, and he should be about to break through.

But even with such strength, it was a miracle that he could hold on for so long in the pursuit of two sixth-grade eunuchs.

But what Li Xuan couldn't understand was why the two black-clothed eunuchs dared to chase Deng Weixian in the palace.

You know, the place just now was not the uninhabited corner where Jingyang Palace was located, but the most important core area of ​​the West Palace.

It's just that maybe because something happened last night, there weren't many people hanging around outside the palace.

"It seems that what happened last night did have a big impact."

Li Xuan and Deng Weixian walked for a while, but they only met patrolling guards on the road, and didn't see any eunuchs or palace maids. They were probably hiding.

But when Deng Weixian said that his actions last night were witnessed by the two stewards, he felt relieved.

He originally thought that something unexpected had happened, but it seemed that they were acting too realistically.

As for the two eunuchs in black clothes who were chasing Deng Weixian, they were probably sent to silence him.

Li Xuan now wanted to find the two stewards as soon as possible and ask them about the details.

"It seems that the rats in the palace are not easy to catch, otherwise with the abilities of those two..."

Thinking of this, Li Xuan took Deng Weixian around a corner.

The aura of the two stewards was just ahead.

But when Li Xuan and Deng Weixian walked around the corner, they stopped in their tracks.

In front of them was a wide ruin, with irregular ruins everywhere.

Li Xuan clearly remembered that there was originally a palace complex here, and many people lived here.

But now, it's all gone.

"This..."

In the ruins, the eunuchs in flowery clothes and the imperial guards were busy, moving bloody corpses one after another from under the ruins.

Not far away, Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng stood in front of several corpses, and their clothes were stained with a lot of dust.

For the two stewards who always pay attention to demeanor, this is extremely unusual.

Shang Zongguan turned his head and found the arrival of Li Xuan and Deng Weixian, and couldn't help but look a little surprised.

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Feng also turned around and looked over.

Only then did Li Xuan realize that Zhao Feng was injured.

Zhao Feng's arm was wrapped in thick bandages and stained with blood.

But Zhao Feng was in good spirits, pointing at Deng Weixian and asked:

"Little Dengzi, didn't I tell you to stay in Banyueyuan?"

"Why are you here?"
