Chapter 688 Jiangnan Road

This question made Li Xuan feel complicated.

But there is no doubt that Ignis is indeed a genius.

Through the first half of the Holy Fire Immortal Body's skills, he was able to comprehend a magic skill that can cultivate Yang Fire.

Li Xuan didn't know how much time Ignis spent, but from the secret notes he left behind, the time span was very long.

Ignis surrendered to King Zheng. In addition to the shelter King Zheng could provide him, the biggest decisive factor was the conditions King Zheng could provide him to continue to improve the Jihena Magic Flame.

These conditions naturally included the innocent lives of countless people.

No matter what Ignis's original intention was, he finally took this dead end of his own choice.

As a Western Region Fire Demon, Ignis had long lost his feelings for Sharon and even wanted to kill her with his own hands.

If Li Xuan hadn't arrived in time with support, Sharon would have no chance of survival.

After all, Sharon sacrificed herself to the Holy Fire, and only then did she gain the power to fight all the way from the Western Regions to Daxing, but in the end she was still defeated by Ignis, who had mastered the magic skills.

But now it seems that the creation of this magic skill is not just as simple as Ignis's pursuit of power.

Otherwise, the Holy Fire Immortal Body and the Jihena Magic Flame could not be so harmonious, even reaching the level of yin and yang.

While providing Sharon with the power needed for cultivation, Li Xuan looked at her with a little worry.

As a cultivator, Sharon must have discovered this.

After spending a whole night, Li Xuan finally helped Sharon stabilize the root fire in her body.

In this way, Sharon's Jihena Magic Flame has entered the door.

The Yang Fire and Yin Fire in her body maintain a delicate balance, but now generally speaking, the Yin Fire is still stronger, causing the root fire to slowly weaken.

But fortunately, the weakening speed is not fast. As long as Sharon continues to practice and pays attention to the balance between the Yang Fire and the Yin Fire, there should be no situation where one grows while the other declines.

After all, she had the help of Li Xuan's Yin-Yang Qi, which could be transformed into the required power at any time to help Sharon maintain the balance of power in her body.

Compared with the embarrassing situation when Li Xuan practiced Yin-Yang Qi by himself before, Sharon was much more relaxed.

When the Yin Fire and Yang Fire in her body could form a fusion of Yin and Yang, she would not need Li Xuan's help.

Li Xuan and Sharon finished their practice and found that it was already light outside, but the man and the cat did not look tired, but full of energy.

The only thing that made Li Xuan a little concerned was that Sharon seemed a little silent. She did not seem to be very happy about gaining new power, but sighed heavily.

"Sharon, I believe Ignis loves you."

Li Xuan's abrupt words made Sharon stunned.

"I'm not sure about the Western Fire Demon I know, but Ignis must love you."

"This technique is the best proof."

"And that book..."

"I'm afraid he predicted his own end from the beginning."

"What's intriguing is that the Western Fire Demon didn't destroy Ignis's notes, didn't he?"

Li Xuan raised his paw, patted Sharon's shoulder, and then left the room.

When he closed the door, he vaguely heard a sigh in the room.

"What a fool."

...

The unchanging daily life and scenes can easily make people have an illusion of time.

Unconsciously, the river became wider, and there were more merchant ships in sight.

The southern patrol fleet led by the Dragon and Phoenix Royal Boat occupied the center of the river and went down the river all the way.

It is said that the other end of the Grand Canal is the East China Sea.

The East China Sea is a vast sea area, where many legendary stories took place.

It is said that there are many fairy islands in the East China Sea, and many masters live in seclusion in those paradises, living a life like a fairy.

I heard that the martial arts holy land of the Taoist school, Wuxianju, is on a fairy island in the East China Sea. Those who are not devoted to the Taoism have no chance to see the fairy island, so Wuxianju is also the most mysterious of the eight martial arts holy lands.

The river they are in has become wider, which proves that they are not far from the destination of this trip.

Near the outlet of the Grand Canal is their destination of this waterway, Jiangnan Road.

The southern tour team will change to land in Jiangnan Road, continue to tour the southern roads, and then start the return journey, ending this southern tour.

They have been on the southern tour for more than a month, and most of the spring has passed.

And as they go south, the weather is getting warmer and the climate is getting more humid.

Everyone on the boat has changed into lighter spring clothes, only the poor little cat runs around naked every day.

After they left Chaoyin Ferry, they stopped once more, and then they continued on their way at full speed. The Dragon and Phoenix Royal Boat sailed very fast and smoothly.

It is said that the supplies on the boat are still sufficient to reach Jiangnan Road directly and then stop.

And considering the time, they are not far from Jiangnan Road.

What surprised Li Xuan was that there were no twists and turns on the water.

He thought that King Zheng would definitely make some small moves.

After all, there are many deserted waters on the river with no one around, and it is difficult for the outside world to know what happened.

But I don’t know what concerns King Zheng had. Along the way, all the people disappeared without a sound, and there was no movement.

Seeing that they were almost at Jiangnan Road, it was still calm.

“Does it look like you plan to take action on land?”

They do have a master of the water system like Mr. Shang on their side, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't have one on Prince Zheng's side.

It is impossible that King Zheng did not choose to take action on the waterway because of the existence of Manager Shang.

It's not that Li Xuan looks down on Mr. Shang, but that Prince Zheng's background is too deep. No one knows how many high-ranking third-level masters he has recruited over the years.

The Five Peaks of Bamboo, the Fire Demon of the Western Region, the Sento Demon Queen, the Three Ghosts of Hanhe...

And that earthy bald man.

Li Xuan didn't think that these were all the offerings from Prince Zheng's mansion.

Li Xuanke had never seen the masters who had appeared above Jiaozhou City Government Office with his own eyes, but had only felt their auras.

He wouldn't be surprised if there were a few special talents among those people.

Prince Zheng always seems to have the ability to find geniuses, and all the people under his command have special skills.

The next few days were still peaceful, and Longfeng Yuzhou led the southern patrol team to the dock of Jiangnan Road safely and safely.

They landed in the city of Guanglin Prefecture in Jiangnan Province, and Emperor Yongyuan, who had not been seen on the ship for a long time, appeared again in front of everyone.

The officials of Guanglin Prefecture prepared a grand welcoming ceremony at the pier, which was much more grand than the previous prefectures.

Li Xuan, Princess Ankang and others followed Emperor Yongyuan off the boat. People who had been on the boat for a long time could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, most of the people on the boat are northerners, so there are still many discomforts in being on the boat for a long time.

Now that we can be down to earth again, everyone feels a lot better.

Emperor Yongyuan was welcomed all the way into the government office of Jiangnan Road to be washed away.

Along the way, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang also looked at the unique buildings here curiously.

With pink walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, and layers of pavilions, it is quiet and elegant.

These buildings are very different from their northern counterparts.

Although Yu'er is from Guanglin Mansion, she was sold to the capital when she was very young, so she can't remember what this place looks like.

Moreover, this is Fucheng, and Yu'er has never been here once when she was a child.

As for whether she passed by him on the way to being sold, she didn't know.

At that time, she stayed in the carriage and only got off the carriage when it got dark. She had no idea where she was.

Therefore, it was actually the first time that Yu'er saw the gorgeous buildings in Fucheng.

Smoked willow painted bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, there are hundreds of thousands of homes.

Li Xuan was held in Princess Ankang's arms. He couldn't help but sniff hard with his nose and found that the air here had a different smell.

It's moist, as if you've breathed in moisture.

His fur was also damp, even more obvious than when he was on the boat.

"Did it just rain?"

Li Xuan is still relatively unfamiliar with the humidity in Jiangnan.

The officials of Guanglin Mansion were respectful to Emperor Yongyuan and could not find any fault on the surface.

After several days of boating, the entire southern patrol team was exhausted. The reception banquet ended in a hurry, and everyone arranged to rest.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Emperor Yongyuan did not live in the government office according to the old rules, but lived in the post house of Guanglin Mansion together with other officials.

The post house in Guanglin Mansion is in excellent repair. I heard that in addition to visiting officials, it also receives merchants on weekdays.

Of course, they will not accept ordinary merchants, they only need those with some financial status.

I heard that this post house was funded by Guanglin Mansion in order to add some income to the government office.

This kind of thing is very common in the south. They can get a lot of tax revenue from waterway merchants. Therefore, many local governments attach great importance to these merchants and try their best to create a better environment and make their rule more prosperous.

On their way from the pier to the government office today, they saw that Guanglin Mansion was very prosperous.

But last year I clearly heard that there were floods and famines here, which caused rebellions in many places.

I saw no such sign today. It couldn't have been such a big disaster. It took less than a year to get over it, right?

Under the order of Emperor Yongyuan, this time the southern patrol team all moved into the Guanglin Mansion Post House.

Thanks to the expansion and construction of the post house in Guanglin Mansion, otherwise it would be difficult to accommodate so many people.

This was still the southern tour, and their personnel had been reduced repeatedly. Otherwise, they would not be able to accommodate the same people as when they set off.

Since the southern tour, this seemed to be the first time that Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng rested together.

On the first day when he arrived at Guanglin Mansion, Emperor Yongyuan did not do anything. He just rested in the post house after the reception banquet.

King Zheng did not make any move. He stayed at the post house obediently and did not contact the officials of Guanglin Mansion.

Even the other officials accompanying this trip have calmed down.

Li Xuan knew that under the calm surface, there was actually an undercurrent surging.

Ever since he set foot on the waterway, Emperor Yongyuan's actions have become more and more low-key.

I just don’t know what his plans are after his southern tour reaches Jiangnan.

Li Xuan vaguely remembered that Emperor Yongyuan once mentioned to him that the key to the southern inspection was here.

"Axuan, I feel like there's something wrong with the atmosphere."

Princess Ankang also noticed something was wrong.

Li Xuan nodded and told the two girls and Sharon:

"We have now arrived at Prince Zheng's territory. We must be careful in our actions from now on."

"If something happens and I'm not around, you must go find Emperor Yongyuan."

"This is especially true when I have no time to get away."

Li Xuan solemnly ordered them.

If a conflict breaks out later, it is impossible for Li Xuan to stay out of it.

He is a rare soldier hiding in the dark. Although his strength has not yet reached the third level, he can have miraculous effects as long as the timing is right.

It's just that under such circumstances, he would not be able to take into account the safety of other people in Jingyang Palace when he acted, and he would have to ask Emperor Yongyuan to help protect him.

After arriving at Jiangnan Road, Li Xuan couldn't help but become nervous.

He was also unable to determine when this terrifying battle would break out and determine the final ownership of Daxing.

At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly turned his head and looked out the window, seeming to notice something.

Li Xuan tilted his head, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

But he immediately said: "Let's go out for a while, there are acquaintances nearby."

"acquaintance?"

Everyone was confused, but still followed Li Xuan's instructions and left the post house and headed for the center of the city.

Under Li Xuan's guidance, they walked through the city and came to a lively street.

The streets are lined with warblers and young ladies in cool clothes are soliciting customers, calling out soft and charming voices one after another.

"Uncle, let's play~"

In the face of temptation, Li Xuan's expression remained resolute, like a stubborn stone without hesitation.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er's mouths twitched, speechless.

"Is this your acquaintance?"

Princess Ankang asked in a bad tone.

Sharon covered her mouth and chuckled.

Li Xuan nodded heavily.

"You damn meow!"

Princess Ankang cursed loudly and rubbed the cat's head angrily to vent her anger.

Li Xuan was so confused that he looked up in shock to see Princess Ankang.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is still secretly protecting us. Does this mean that my father will be angry to death if he knows that we went to visit a brothel on the first day in Jiangnan?"

Princess Ankang pinched Li Xuan's ears with two jade fingers and turned him into a rabbit.

After hearing Princess Ankang's words, Li Xuan finally reacted, with a look of injustice on his face.

"What did you say?"

"What do you think I am?"

"I brought you here because there are auras of Ayimu and Xie Qingmo inside."

After hearing Li Xuan's explanation, Princess Ankang and Yu'er were stunned.

"You mean Hu Yulou's oiran sister."

"Of course!"

While Li Xuan was answering, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at the two girls, extremely dissatisfied with their actions in wronging him.

"Really?" Princess Ankang sounded guilty.

Sharon on the side then explained: "Your Royal Highness, this is indeed the property of the Holy Fire Cult."

"Hey, that's it."

Princess Ankang knew that she had wrongly blamed Li Xuan and immediately laughed.

Li Xuan didn't speak, just stared at her silently.

At this time, the young lady who was still soliciting customers at the door saw them stopping for a long time and stepped forward to talk:

"This lady, even if you are not an uncle, you can come in and play~"

Princess Ankang immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope and pretended to be suddenly enlightened, as if it was her first time in such a place.

"Well, then I'm not welcome!"
