Chapter 496: Holy Cutting

"Ah chirp——"

Li Xuan sneezed suddenly and blew out a big snot bubble.

Princess Ankang, who was reading a book, turned around when she heard the sound, and saw her snot-soaked kitten, and couldn't help but giggle.

"Axuan, will you also catch the cold?"

Princess Ankang smiled and took out her handkerchief, first popped Li Xuan's snot bubbles, and then wiped him clean.

Li Xuan sniffed hard, but still felt itchy.

Although he is now highly skilled in cultivation, due to his physiological structure, picking his nose has become particularly inconvenient.

With his current physique, there is no reason to be infected with wind and cold.

And even though it's winter, they're sitting in their backyard pavilion.

Not far away is the hot spring created by the golden pig's spontaneous heating, which makes the entire backyard feel like spring all year round.

Many plants that should have withered are still alive and green.

"Someone must be saying bad things about me behind my back!"

Li Xuan wrote angrily with his tail.

Princess Ankang looked at it and nodded while holding back a smile, and agreed:

"Even so, I don't know anyone who has no conscience and speaks ill of kittens behind their backs."

"It's so bad!"

Li Xuan Shen thought so.

At this moment, Yu'er walked in from outside, still holding something in her hand.

It looks like a letter.

"Your Highness, the eunuch in colorful clothes outside the door just now sent a letter. It seems to be sent from outside the palace."

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang both tilted their heads.

"I've only heard of people delivering letters from the palace to outside the palace."

"I haven't heard of anyone outside the palace being able to deliver letters to the palace."

Li Xuan said a little puzzled.

Generally speaking, there are more people who help deliver messages.

Letters are relatively rare.

Because it is very troublesome to send letters to the palace, and the contents of the letters will be censored, so there is no privacy at all.

I don’t know who will do such a thankless task.

"It can't be Xiaocui, we have agreed on our contact information before." Princess Ankang also wondered.

Although Xiaocui now knows the true identity of Princess Ankang, it was Princess Ankang who took the initiative to contact Xiaocui.

If Xiaocui is in an emergency, she will send a message through Ping'an Trading Company to request a meeting, instead of sending a formal letter like now.

Moreover, although Xiaocui is also learning to read and read, the learning time is still short, and she may not be able to write a complete letter.

Princess Ankang took the letter and touched it. It felt quite thick, which further confirmed this conjecture.

"Whose letter is it?"

Princess Ankang read the cover of the letter, which only mentioned her as the recipient, and there was no other information.

The curious Princess Ankang was about to open the letter, but was snatched away by Li Xuan on the side.

"Oh, Ah Xuan!"

"Don't worry, I'll just open it and show it to you."

Princess Ankang chased after him, but he couldn't catch up with Li Xuan.

Li Xuan climbed up to the pavilion quickly, and then opened the letter himself.

"I heard before that someone poisoned letters, so I'd better be more cautious."

Nowadays, Princess Ankang's sense of existence is getting stronger and she can no longer do whatever she wants as before.

As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.

At this time, Li Xuan, as the "parent" of Jingyang Palace, naturally has to shoulder his own responsibilities.

Li Xuan opened the letter and found that it was just three pages of letter paper filled with words.

He smelled it carefully and felt it with Yin and Yang Qi. There seemed to be nothing unusual.

Li Xuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although yin and yang true energy has a miraculous effect in healing injuries, Li Xuan is not sure whether it can also be so effective in cases of poisoning.

Therefore, he had to be careful to avoid unnecessary situations.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with trouble when the time comes.

For some people, the current Princess Ankang is probably even more of an eyesore than before.

The two little girls were under the pavilion, looking up at Li Xuan opening the letter.

Princess Ankang put her hands on her hips and yelled with an unconvinced look:

"Axuan, if you have the ability, read the letter to me!"

"If you can't read it, please come down and I won't spank you."

Li Xuan curled his lips and said "cut~" silently.

Although he has achieved some success in "The Amityville Horror", there is still some distance between him and being able to speak fluently.

In the final analysis, the amount and control of Qi is still insufficient.

Although Li Xuan can now imitate his speaking voice, he can only speak out one word at a time. Moreover, due to the lack of true energy, his voice will start to be scattered when it comes out, and it sounds weak, like a patient with insufficient kidney energy.

Under such circumstances, Li Xuan would naturally not humiliate himself and leave the two girls laughing for nothing.

Until the day he can speak fluently, he will never speak!

After Li Xuan confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the letter, he jumped down from the pavilion obediently.

Princess Ankang caught Li Xuan and hugged him tightly in her arms. She smiled evilly and rubbed the furry and soft cat butt hard.

"You are such a naughty kitten, it's strange that no one says bad things about you behind your back!"

Li Xuan meowed hard in dissatisfaction, looking unwilling but unable to resist, which further aroused Princess Ankang's desire to bully the kitten.

Princess Ankang didn't even bother to read the letter. She just masturbated to Li Xuan, sucking and smelling him, and making strange noises. She was so perverted.

Yu'er, who was standing by, felt that this was inappropriate.

After all, Princess Ankang was a royal princess, and if anyone saw her in such a foolish state, her future reputation would be ruined.

"Sister Yu'er, come too!"

"Ah Xuan's body is so fragrant and soft, she is indeed a cute little kitty!"

Yu'er looked around hesitantly, and found that there were only three of them in Jingyang Palace, and no outsiders, so she quietly moved her feet and came over.

"Hehehehe..."

"Hehehehe..."

"Meow!"

The unbearable sounds came one after another in the lonely pavilion in the backyard.

On the steamy hot spring lake, a huge fish head slowly bubbled, and a pair of dull dead fish eyes flashed with joy, as if saying "You have this day too!"

But at this moment, a fist-sized ice ball was suddenly thrown out from the pavilion with a whoosh, hitting the fish head, making a dull sound.

A big bump suddenly grew on the huge fish head, and it retracted into the water a little slower, leaving traces of breaking through the waves and slicing the water surface, and hurriedly fled to the distance.

After a while, the wind and the waves were calm again, and no more ice balls were thrown into the water in the pavilion, only the continuous strange sound continued.

It seemed to have restored the previous calm, but only the hot spring knew that another drop of burning tears flowed into itself.

The pain of the fish, the water knows.

…

After an unknown period of time, Princess Ankang and Yu'er, with messy hair and untidy clothes, sat back in the pavilion with a satisfied look on their faces.

On the side was a poor kitten with a pink tongue sticking out and four legs upside down. His lifeless eyes stared at the sky woodenly, silently accusing the tragic situation that happened to him.

Yu'er tidied Princess Ankang's clothes and re-arranged her hair.

Princess Ankang began to read the letter.

"Hey, this letter turned out to be sent by the leader of the Money Gang."

Princess Ankang said in surprise.

While Yu'er was combing Princess Ankang's hair, she also curiously looked at the contents of the letter from behind her.

When Li Xuan checked the letter just now, he just glanced at it.

The sender was indeed Chen Tan, the leader of the Money Gang.

This guy is also very resourceful. He was able to send the letter to Jingyang Palace as a civilian.

It seems that the Money Gang also has some connections in the palace.

As for the content of the letter, it was a request from Chen Tan.

Speaking of which, this matter was still a trouble that Li Xuan brought to Chen Tan.

Li Xuan and Zhu Shimin had just completed the change of using mortgage bills as the transaction subject recently, and made a lot of money in the market.

As a result, for some reason, this account was counted on the head of the Money Gang.

Haha, in fact, Li Xuan and Zhu Shimin were both pretending to be confused.

The cover of the Money Gang was too useful, otherwise they would have to spend more time to cover up for Emperor Yongyuan.

Now the speculation of antiques has not been completely closed, and the fact that Emperor Yongyuan was behind it must not be revealed.

Otherwise, all the big fish would have run away.

Only the wealthy and powerful are their main targets.

Moreover, just this mortgage bill incident allowed Li Xuan to earn an unimaginable amount of money.

According to Zhu Shimin's statistics yesterday, their profit this time exceeded 50 million taels of silver.

The problem is that the statistics are not yet complete.

Just by changing the transaction subject to mortgage bills, their specific profits will take several days to count, and the final amount will definitely be higher than this.

This made Li Xuan very angry!

Because he asked Emperor Yongyuan last time, the tax revenue of Daxing's treasury is decreasing every year. In recent years, it has not even collected 10 million taels of silver, and it is only maintained at more than 5 million taels of silver.

When it is good, it is 8 or 9 million, and when it is bad, it hovers around 5 million, but it has never been significantly lower than this range.

At first, Li Xuan thought that the overall environment of Daxing was not good.

After all, it is a dynasty that has been in existence for nearly a thousand years, and it will always encounter recession.

But damn, it turns out that the people are so rich.

Only then did Li Xuan know where the money went.

The treasury was so empty that it could not even support a war.

As a result, the speculation of antiques among the people has brought in tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of silver.

Li Xuan had anticipated that the problem in Daxing was very serious, so he always wanted to take Princess Ankang and Yu'er away.

But he never thought it would be so serious.

To be honest, this is a mess.

If Li Xuan was Emperor Yongyuan, he would have abdicated and let Prince Zheng do his best to see how well his uncle could do.

Of course, it is not certain whether Prince Zheng would let Emperor Yongyuan go.

From an economic point of view, the wealthy families in the capital are much richer than the country.

Where did all this money come from?

It goes without saying!

I'm going too far. Chen Tan wrote this letter because of this matter.

He can't afford to take such a big blame.

None of those who lost money to Li Xuan are easy to deal with.

Otherwise, these people can't afford to lose so much money to Li Xuan.

The content of Chen Tan's letter was also very tactful. After asking about the well-being of the people, he asked how the business of the Money Gang, which Princess Ankang had taken over, was running and whether she needed any help.

As for his real needs, he wrote them at the end.

Chen Tan believed that since the business of the Money Gang had a new owner, it should also have a new name. Otherwise, it would be a great disrespect to the royal family to let such a noble person as Princess Ankang be mentioned in the same breath with the name of the Money Gang. Such a sin made Chen Tan extremely panic.

So, Chen Tan's request was also very simple, just asking that the businesses under Princess Ankang be separated from the Money Gang.

Especially the Sihai Casino, it is imperative to let the world know that it has nothing to do with the Money Gang.

After reading the letter, Princess Ankang asked Li Xuan and Yu'er beside her:

"Do you want me to set up a new organization?"

"Boss Chen invited me to join the underworld?"

Princess Ankang didn't know that Li Xuan had harvested another wave of money in the market, so she asked blankly.

Princess Ankang thought Chen Tan's request was too reckless.

How could she ask the royal princess to establish an underground gang.

But she had seen Chen Tan and knew that he was not a brainless person, and there must be other intentions behind him.

Princess Ankang couldn't help but turn her eyes to Li Xuan, who was lying on the side pretending to be dead.

She stretched out her hand and pulled a beard of Li Xuan to tell him not to play dead:

"Tell me, is it your good deed?"

Li Xuan was pulled to grin on one side of his mouth, like the smile of the Dragon King.

He bit Princess Ankang's hand, but Princess Ankang didn't let go.

Li Xuan's eyes twitched, and he changed from biting to licking, which made Princess Ankang surrender immediately.

"Haha, stinky Ah Xuan, I'm so itchy!"

Li Xuan broke free from Princess Ankang's beard-pulling attack, and then he got up and explained what happened recently.

"Oh~"

"So Boss Chen took the blame for you."

"He must have scolded you to death behind your back for taking such a big blame."

Princess Ankang gloated.

Yes, others don't know what's going on, but Chen Tan should know the most.

After all, it was he who handed over the Sihai Casino to Princess Ankang.

Now, this big game on the market, I'm afraid only Chen Tan, an outsider, can see it most clearly.

"But this kid is still not honest."

"Being forced to this point, why don't you tell me the reason why you gave Ankang's industry in the first place?"

In the letter, Chen Tan only asked Princess Ankang to perform the sacred cutting, and didn't mention this matter at all.

At the beginning, when Chen Tan proposed to give away the property, Li Xuan realized that there must be a problem.

But now, after so long, the problem still has not appeared, and Chen Tan has not asked them for any benefits.

This is really too abnormal.

If this problem is not clarified, Li Xuan will inevitably feel uneasy.

This time, they intentionally or unintentionally borrowed the name of the Money Gang, and they were constantly testing.

It was not until this time that the matter was completely blown up that Chen Tan sent this letter.

"You can really keep your composure."

Chen Tan is far from being as simple as he looks.

Moreover, this person is the founder of the Money Gang. If possible, Li Xuan still hopes to be friends with him, not enemies.

"Ah Xuan, how do you think I should reply to the leader Chen?"

Princess Ankang asked Li Xuan.

She felt that whether she agreed or refused, it would be difficult to deal with.

If she agreed, it might affect the important events of Emperor Yongyuan.

If she did not agree, it would be a bit too much.

After all, Chen Tan helped them keep it secret until now, which was considered to be a face-saving thing.

Otherwise, just telling the truth would be enough to get rid of the blame.

"No hurry, this matter needs to be considered carefully. I need to discuss it with your father before I reply to Chen Tan."

"I'll ask the two stewards later if your father has time to see you today?"

Li Xuan's words made Princess Ankang a little nervous.

"Ah? Do I need to see my father for such a small matter?"

It's not hard to hear from her tone that Princess Ankang seems to be somewhat resistant to meeting Emperor Yongyuan.
