Chapter 559: Selecting Prizes
"Tsk, you just keep us in suspense all day long."
Li Xuan rolled his eyes at Zhao Feng, complaining in his heart, but his mind also started to work, and he soon came up with an answer.
"The Daxing royal family must be one of them, after all, they have produced two holy emperors."
Looking at the answer written by Li Xuan, Zhao Feng was a little surprised.
"Ah Xuan is smart, he got the key point."
"Indeed, I said before that to become a martial arts holy land, you need to have a destiny and a yin-yang attribute technique."
"But unfortunately, the royal family that controls the dynasty does not belong to the martial arts holy land. After all, the martial arts holy land is to accept disciples from outside and spread its own martial arts."
"In terms of foundation, Daxing, Damao, and even the former Beiliang have strengths that are not inferior to the martial arts holy land, but because of their different natures, they will not be discussed together."
"Most martial arts holy lands are underworld forces. Once they change their nature, they will be kicked out of the martial arts holy land."
"There have been precedents of martial arts holy lands establishing dynasties before."
Zhao Feng said here and did not continue. He did not explain further and did not let Li Xuan continue to guess, but announced the answer:
"In fact, the other two hidden martial arts holy places are Buddhism and Taoism."
"These two sects are quite special and their strength is extraordinary."
"Among the eight martial arts holy places, Fuyun Temple and Wuxianju belong to Buddhism and Taoism respectively."
"But the remaining temples and Taoist temples should not be underestimated. Because of the characteristics of religion, they are very united with each other, especially Buddhism."
"Many temples in Buddhism are not weak in strength, but they have never produced a man of destiny. In addition, there are many believers who help each other. It is not wise to provoke them when you are not in the right."
Zhao Feng said, and finally looked at Li Xuan. The meaning was already very clear.
After Li Xuan got Zhao Feng's advice, he would naturally not provoke Ci'en Temple easily again.
"It seems that I have to think of another way."
Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't expect that just wanting to set up a tablet for Concubine Xiao would be so difficult.
Intellectually, the most appropriate way for the three little ones to close the door and set up a tablet for Concubine Xiao in Jingyang Palace is the most appropriate way.
But because of the outside world and others, they had to give up and make concessions, which made Li Xuan very unhappy.
Especially since this idea was proposed by Princess Ankang, Li Xuan didn't want the little girl to feel wronged.
Princess Ankang is sensible and knows that things can't be done. She will definitely make concessions first and not cause trouble to others.
But Li Xuan didn't want to do that.
"I saw that Lao Ba had a good relationship with Ci'en Temple before. Would it be useful for him to come forward to make a statement?"
Li Xuan asked.
"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince?"
Zhao Feng thought for a moment and then said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy, but it should be no problem to introduce them and discuss the possibility."
Li Xuan nodded gently, and Princess Ankang on the side also said:
"That's enough. When the time comes, please ask Ba Ge to take us to see the abbot of Ci'en Temple."
"As for the final result, we won't force it."
Princess Ankang pursed her lips and said sensibly.
Li Xuan immediately looked at Zhao Feng eagerly.
Zhao Feng smiled awkwardly and explained, "Buddhism doesn't like the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
This sentence made Li Xuan understand what was going on.
No wonder Zhao Feng talked for a long time and didn't offer to share Princess Ankang's worries. It turned out that he was helpless.
Princess Ankang didn't care, but thanked Zhao Feng for reminding her. Otherwise, they would go to Ci'en Temple without knowing why and be rejected by the other party.
At least now the three little ones know where the problem lies, and they can negotiate with Ci'en Temple to see if they can solve it together and get a result that satisfies both parties.
Zhao Feng was relieved to get Princess Ankang's understanding.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs really couldn't come up with any good solution for this matter.
He explained it so carefully to the three little ones before, so as not to let them have misunderstandings and have any grudges with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After all, they are all on the same boat now. If there is suspicion, it will be troublesome.
...
The next day.
The three children followed Zhao Feng out of the palace, and there was another person accompanying him, who was the eighth prince who was invited.
"Wow, Ankang, your carriage is too good, isn't it?"
The eighth prince sat in the carriage with the three children, curiously looking at the details inside the carriage, and said in amazement.
Even though he was a prince, it was the first time for him to sit in such a luxurious carriage.
Although he had seen this carriage several times, it was the first time for him to sit in it personally.
There was no bump inside the carriage, just like sitting on flat ground, watching the scenery outside the window slowly recede, this feeling is not to mention how comfortable it is.
Moreover, the space inside the carriage is extremely spacious, even if four people sit, it is more than enough.
Some of the tools inside are fixed with exquisite mechanisms, even if the carriage is turned over, it will not move at all.
But those who know how to use the mechanism only need to click lightly, and these tools can be easily moved, which is really ingenious.
The three children smiled at the eighth prince who was new to the carriage.
At the beginning, their behavior was similar to that of the Eighth Prince, except that they were now accustomed to the comfort of the carriage.
Zhao Feng and Xu Lang drove the carriage themselves, and there were eunuchs in flowery clothes secretly protecting them on this trip.
After leaving the palace, they came to a teahouse near Ping An Commercial Bank.
The teahouse looked very high-end. Although the first floor was a hall, it was separated by curtains to form seats with excellent privacy.
The second floor was a private room, with small halls separated from each other. The corridors were full of exquisite potted plants and greenery.
This was a high-end place for business talks, which was convenient for many nearby chambers of commerce to come here to talk business.
However, such a place was obviously not affordable for ordinary businessmen. It was not a low-cost place at first glance.
The carriage drove to the door of the teahouse. The three little ones and the eighth prince got off the carriage. Zhao Feng led them in, and Xu Lang went to wait downstairs.
When they came to the private room upstairs, they found that there were already several people waiting here.
As soon as Princess Ankang and the eighth prince came in, these people immediately stood up and waited until the door was closed before greeting:
"Hello, Your Highness."
They saluted Princess Ankang and the eighth prince respectively.
The Eighth Prince nodded as a response, and then took a seat under Zhao Feng's arrangement.
The Eighth Prince knew that he was not the protagonist here, so he sat aside and watched the show in a low-key manner.
This was the process of Princess Ankang receiving the award, and he just came to watch the excitement by chance.
The Eighth Prince planned to be a mute in the teahouse, just watching Princess Ankang receiving the award, and then waiting to go to Ci'en Temple to help them introduce the abbot there.
The few people waiting in the teahouse were all familiar faces to Li Xuan, and they were Wei Zhen and his several hunting officers.
Since the last time their northern team was hunted by the White Wolf Guards of the Desert, Li Xuan had only seen Wei Zhen once in the palace, and had not seen the others again.
At this time, Wei Zhen was accompanied by four young hunting officers, one of whom was Yan Shang.
Yan Shang fought desperately to break through and return to Daxing for help, but was blocked by the White Wolf Guard not far from Changbai Town. However, it also caused quite a stir, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs got the news, so Li Xuan and Zhao Feng went to rescue.
If it weren't for Yan Shang, I'm afraid no one in the Northern Team led by Wei Zhen could escape the pursuit of the White Wolf Guard, and they could only die in the Northern Border in the end.
Li Xuan still had a good impression of this little eunuch who came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was very powerful, but was a little shy on weekdays.
Yan Shang also saw Li Xuan. Seeing the cat doctor who saved his life, he also smiled shyly and nodded to Li Xuan secretly.
Li Xuan nodded happily in return and grinned.
As for the other three hunting officers, Li Xuan was not very familiar with them. He only remembered that they were also members of Wei Zhen's team.
Wei Zhen didn't mean to introduce them. After the salute, he got down to business.
"Your Highness, by order of His Majesty, you can choose any item from the harvest of the North Team this year."
After saying that, Wei Zhen took out a list, which recorded their harvest in the North Territory for the whole year.
The most valuable ones were written at the front of the list, so that Princess Ankang could choose them easily.
The three children only then knew that the prize for their competition this month was to choose any item from the harvest of the North Team this year.
In this regard, the three children thought it was not a bad reward, and looked at the list seriously.
On the other hand, the Eighth Prince widened his eyes and asked in shock:
"Wait, have these things been screened after entering the private warehouse?"
The Eighth Prince originally wanted to be dumb, but he couldn't hold it back for less than a moment after entering.
In response to the Eighth Prince's question, Wei Zhen answered honestly:
"To answer Your Highness, it has not yet entered the private warehouse for screening."
"Ah???"
The Eighth Prince's exaggerated reaction was particularly harsh in this elegant teahouse.
But his voice was only confined to the private room where they were. When he got outside the room, the sound was suppressed and did not spread too far.
Li Xuan looked outside the door and was a little surprised.
"Is it those green plants outside the door? The sound insulation effect is quite good."
Li Xuan said in his heart, and then he knew that this teahouse was not only high-end on the surface, but also quite good in content.
Seeing the exaggerated reaction of the Eighth Prince, Princess Ankang asked curiously:
"Myna, is there any difference?"
The Eighth Prince did not hide it and told what he knew.
"I heard that the best prey hunted by the hunting officials are first presented to the emperor, and then some things that have been selected by the private warehouse will be taken out, either as rewards or sent to the outside world for trading."
"I heard that there are many extraordinary treasures in the harvest of the hunting officials every year."
Hearing what the Eighth Prince said, Li Xuan's heart moved and he looked at the items on the list more seriously.
The hunting officials hunted the world on behalf of the emperor, which is to help Emperor Yongyuan collect treasures.
Just like the Mengyuan Dragonfish they had eaten before, it should also be the work of the hunting officer.
It seems that in addition to the profits of Ping An Commercial Bank, the hunting officer's gains are also a big part of Emperor Yongyuan's personal income.
And the meeting place today was chosen here, probably because it is close to Ping An Commercial Bank.
After Princess Ankang picked out the rest, what should be stored in the warehouse should be stored, and what should be traded should be traded. At that time, Ping An Commercial Bank will definitely be used.
But compared to Princess Ankang, the recipient of the award, the eighth prince was more interested and asked curiously:
"Did you catch any spiritual pets this year?"
"There are no cubs, but there are a few eggs, but it is not yet determined whether they can be hatched."
Hearing Wei Zhen's words, the Eighth Prince's eyes lit up immediately, and he persuaded Princess Ankang:
"Ankang, if there is no other choice, you can try these."
"If you can hatch a good spirit pet, it will be a great help."
A Xiang, who was raised by the Eighth Prince, was actually obtained in this way. However, when the Eighth Prince got it, A Xiang had already hatched, but at that time it was about the size of a chick. In a few years, A Xiang was raised by the Eighth Prince to be mighty and strong.
But as the Eighth Prince was talking, he suddenly noticed an unfriendly look.
He saw Li Xuan staring at him, swallowed nervously, and couldn't help but change his tone:
"Of course, other treasures are also good."
"Anyway, Ankang, you already have this black cat, and other spirit pets are actually quite redundant for you."
"Ah, right, you know it all..."
The Eighth Prince realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he felt more and more guilty as he spoke, and he was so unconfident.
Li Xuan shook his head, but he didn't bother with this kid.
He didn't care if there were more beasts in Jingyang Palace.
Compared to people, Jingyang Palace is actually more suitable for accepting new beasts, so that they can be more lively.
But Li Xuan has no plan to accept new ones for the time being.
In the backyard of Jingyang Palace, Dabai is always looking for trouble with the golden pig.
The water in the pool is always less every day, and they have to trouble them to add water in person.
The water in the pool is not evaporated by the golden pig, but is dug by Dabai every day.
The golden pig was bullied by Dabai, so he hid in the deep of the pond.
The water in the deep of the pond is very hot, and Dabai dare not swim down, which makes himself uncomfortable.
Dabai drank hot water every day at first, trying to drink the pool dry one day, but later found that it was too slow, so he dug water at the edge of the pool, having a lot of fun, and always made the backyard muddy.
Dabai didn't remember the lesson, and he was so naughty again the next day.
Sometimes, Li Xuan would teach them a lesson and they would behave themselves for a few days, but after a few days, Dabai and Jinzhu would start to make trouble and forget about it and start to dig in the water to fish Jinzhu out.
If there were more of these things, Li Xuan would be exhausted.
He said that kindergarten teachers were either exhausted or irritable after work.
Dabai and Jinzhu were just like the naughtiest kids in the kindergarten, which made Li Xuan spend countless energy.
Some people would say that Jinzhu was just staying in the pool and was clearly an innocent victim, and it was only Dabai who was naughty.
Bullshit!
There was a reason why Dabai would rather be taught a lesson by Li Xuan than to dig out all the water in the pool.
As soon as Jinzhu felt safe, he would go and find fault and hide in the pool to spit Dabai's water.
And it was boiling water!
If Li Xuan said, Dabai and Jinzhu would deserve to be beaten to death in the future.
They are so damned!
Thinking of these two guys, Li Xuan's mood was excited. He took a breath for a moment, calmed down, and carefully selected the prizes with Princess Ankang.
If they didn't understand something, they would ask Zhao Feng and Wei Zhen. The two of them also patiently explained it in detail. The Eighth Prince, who was listening to the list, wished that he was the one who chose the prize.
The Eighth Prince had heard of many good things on the list, but had never seen them.
If he could take one back, it would be really worth it.
Today, the Eighth Prince knew how Princess Ankang won the first place in this competition before.
"This is too cool!"
It took an hour of effort, and finally the three children had the final choice.
"General Manager Zhao, Captain Wei."
"I've chosen it, I want this one."
Princess Ankang pointed her finger on the list.
Everyone looked and saw the name on the list.
[Arctic Supreme Shell. ]
Li Xuan was stunned and couldn't help thinking:
"Huh? Is it the Arctic Shell I know?"
