Chapter 245 Under the Stars and Moon

Chapter 245 Under the Stars and Moon

Stepping on the eaves of the capital for the first time, Li Xuan felt very different from before in the palace.

noisy.

Boryeongfang was countless times noisier than the palace.

No matter where you go, there is always the sound of people talking loudly.

The air here smells different too.

In short, everything made Li Xuan feel a little uncomfortable.

He thought he would be very excited after leaving the palace, but now it seems to be very different from what he imagined.

Li Xuan couldn't help but look back and found Manager Shang leaning against the window looking at him.

Seeing Li Xuan turn around, Manager Shang waved his hand and said hello.

Li Xuan smiled, continued walking forward, walked around the eaves, and came to the opposite side of the Siyun Grain Store.

This store seems to be selling some cheap grains in limited quantities. Many ordinary-looking people lined up here, and business is booming.

The people who bought the grain were all smiling, as if they had picked up a big deal, and they even said a lot of good luck to the shopkeeper.

The Siyun Liang Shop is not big, and only one clerk can keep it busy. There is also a shopkeeper behind the counter who is doing the accounting.

Li Xuan looked at the waiter and the shopkeeper, and then rested his eyes on the counter.

"Is there a secret compartment hidden inside?"

"The real ledger is inside the counter."

"I just don't know what Emperor Yongyuan wants this account book for?"

Li Xuan did not stop on the eaves in front of Si Yun Liang Shop, but continued to walk around the Si Yun Liang Shop with lazy cat steps to observe.

The front of Siyun Liang Store is a store for business, and the back is a courtyard where people can live.

The yard is not big, but it shouldn't be a big problem for two or three people.

It's just that the yard is small, which makes it a little more difficult for Li Xuan.

There is another place in the yard with a big lock on it, which looks like a warehouse.

If it was true as Manager Shang said, there was a master in charge of the Siyun Grain Store, I'm afraid he would have to be more careful and not show any trace of his energy, otherwise he would definitely alert that master.

Li Xuan needs to disguise himself as an ordinary cat as much as possible.

But after looking around, he really didn't find anything weird about this grain store.

I don’t know how Manager Shang and the others set their sights on this place.

After seeing almost everything, Li Xuan returned to the inn.

He didn't want to stay here for too long, otherwise he would be in trouble if he was impressed by the people at the Siyun Grain Shop.

Although Li Xuan is just an ordinary cow cat now, it is better to be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years.

He was also very concerned about Emperor Yongyuan's errand.

After all, it is about Sun Flame Pond and whether Li Xuan can successfully break through to the Marrow Training Realm in a short time.

By the time Li Xuan came back, Manager Shang had already started eating a table of food.

Although he was not hungry, he still acted in full.

Manager Shang's character design for himself is very simple, that is, he is a foreign merchant who has just entered the capital.

"Axuan, you're back."

"Would you like to have some too?"

Li Xuan jumped on the table, looked at the food, and finally showed a disgusted expression and shook his head.

"Haha, you little kitten, you are used to eating royal food, have you become so naughty?"

To be honest, the food delivered by the inn is not bad, and it can even be considered good for the merchants who come and stay.

After all, the merchants who often eat and sleep in the open do not have high requirements for food. It is good if it is cooked and slightly salty.

But for Li Xuan, who eats imperial-standard food every day, these things are just like chewing wax.

Just looking at the quality of the food, Li Xuan didn't have much appetite.

He is not that picky about food, but he had breakfast before going out and is not hungry yet.

When it was time to eat, there was nothing to eat, and Li Xuan could only manage a few meals.

After all, they won't be leaving here until tomorrow morning.

"How's the click?"

Manager Shang asked while eating.

Li Xuan shook his head.

He didn't see anything unusual at all just now.

If he hadn't been reminded by Manager Shang beforehand, he wouldn't have noticed the counter.

But he had seen the layout inside the Siyun Grain Store, so it wasn't that difficult to get in.

The important thing is how to steal the account books without anyone noticing.

They knew too little information about the expert who was in charge of Siyun Grain Store.

Li Xuan thought for a while and slowly started writing in mid-air with his tail.

Manager Shang looked up and immediately understood what Li Xuan meant.

"No, although you can fish in troubled waters by doing it during the day, you can also gain an official advantage, so that person will not dare to come forward easily."

"But His Majesty not only needs the account books, but also needs a time difference."

Manager Shang continued to explain seriously:

"If you can successfully get the account book tonight, we will stay here for one night."

"Then tomorrow morning, officials from Wannian County will find an excuse to seal up the Siyun Grain Store."

"When the time comes, the shopkeeper who doesn't know that the account books have been stolen will definitely take action."

"But no matter what he does, and no matter what mechanism is inside the counter, they will most likely think that the real account books have been destroyed."

"What your Majesty wants is actually this result."

"Misleading them!"

Li Xuan looked thoughtful after hearing Manager Shang's explanation.

“Is it not just the books that matter, but the misdirection?”

It seems that Emperor Yongyuan wants to buy himself some time.

Emperor Yongyuan is now trying so hard to figure out who the other party is.

Li Xuan had previously seen that the business in Siyun Grain Shop was booming, and he was still wondering whether he could fish in troubled waters. With his kitty appearance, he sneaked under the counter, took the account books and left.

When the time comes, regardless of whether you are discovered or not, just run away.

If the masters of Siyun Liangpu come forward to intercept, they can have someone from the officialdom intercept them, or even capture the opponent directly.

After all, in this world of Daxing, there is probably no one who is more righteous than Emperor Yongyuan, right?

An unknown master, jumping up and down in the capital, could be accused of anything and killed on the spot without any problem.

But now it seems that such a plan is not feasible.

Manager Shang had his own considerations in arranging the operation at night.

Li Xuan also understood at this time that not only did he have to steal it, but he also had to prevent the people at the Siyun Grain Store from noticing anything was wrong.

After understanding this, Li Xuan left Manager Shang to continue to deal with his meal, while he lay on the window edge and looked in the direction of the Siyun Grain Store not far away.

…

Night falls.

Baoning Inn became more lively. Li Xuan stayed in the room and could clearly hear all kinds of noises downstairs.

But the noise made him feel more at ease.

Listening to all the talk downstairs, Li Xuan felt like he was in a world.

Which knight defeated the village on which mountain?

Gangs and gangs fight each other.

Which courtesan has a bigger butt and firmer breasts?

Whoever made a trip to the merchants made a lot of money, and whoever was unlucky enough to be robbed halfway and even lost his life.

Li Xuan was lying next to the window, listening to these topics with great interest.

Before sunset, there was still the sound of clang.

Mr. Shang said that this was to remind people that the market was going to be closed and that they should go back to their homes and not wander around in the streets.

Otherwise, if the trumpet sounds three hundred times, anyone who is still running around in the street after dark will be arrested.

But you can walk around freely in the city, and there are still vendors and shops continuing their business.

Therefore, those who want to start nightlife must arrive at the market where they want to spend money before the sound of the sound ends, otherwise they will be late.

Li Xuan heard it interesting and wrote down these details.

Although he felt a little awkward at first, he gradually felt that the lives of the people in the capital were quite interesting.

At least it seemed like there was a lot more fun than in the palace.

Even in Baoningfang, which Mr. Shang calls a slum, there are many lively places as night falls.

According to Manager Shang, there are places for people to have fun at night, but compared to other markets, Baonyeong is a bit lower-end.

But low-end also has low-end fun.

Li Xuan saw that as night fell, many young and strong idlers took to the streets and gathered in their own gangs.

Some go to gambling houses, and some buy sex.

The way of entertainment is simple and crude.

People are bustling on the ground, and the stars and moon hang quietly in the sky.

Li Xuan lay beside the window, watching this scene with emotion.

No matter how gorgeous the neon lights are, they are not as good as one-tenth of the Milky Way and the bright moon.

With this starry sky and the night view of Daxing, Li Xuan couldn't get enough of it.

The lively hustle and bustle did not last long. As the moon rose, Baoningfang gradually became quiet.

Manager Shang, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, silently opened his eyes and said to Li Xuan:

"Axuan, you can go."

Li Xuan waited for this sentence for a whole day.

He climbed up from the window and stretched.

"Is it finally time to take action?"

Li Xuan turned around and meowed at Manager Shang. After saying hello, he climbed out of the window and headed for the Siyun Grain Store not far away.

Looking at the night, it should be past midnight now.

The lively nightlife in Boryeongfang has also subsided a lot, except for the occasional barking of dogs from afar.

Li Xuan didn't know why Mr. Shang chose to take action at this time, but Mr. Shang must have his own concerns.

Although it is much quieter now than before, Li Xuan moved silently, with his tail raised, walking gracefully on the eaves.

As he continued to approach the Siyun Grain Store, Li Xuan's heart beat faster than expected.

When he came to the Siyun Grain Shop, Li Xuan did not go in directly, but first used the Turtle Breathing Technique for a while to adjust his heartbeat and breathing.

He thought that since he wanted to suppress the movement to a minimum, he might as well hold his breath the whole time.

The Turtle Breathing Technique unexpectedly has a special use on the ground.

When Li Xuan was fully prepared, he jumped lightly and silently to the eaves of the Siyun Grain Store.

He stood there quietly for a long time, and waited until he was sure that there was no movement inside before he dared to continue taking action.

Li Xuan jumped into the yard and found that it was dark and silent.

The storefront of Siyun Liangpu has been closed with a door panel. When he wanted to go inside the store, he could only enter through the yard.

After falling into the yard, Li Xuan did not dare to delay and immediately trotted towards the counter.

But before he entered the store, he smelled a pungent smell from a distance.

"This is……"

"Fire oil!?"

Thanks to "Angel Loves Joking" for the reward and support.

Thank you all book friends for your monthly support.

Book friends, there are only two chapters left today.

Bai Meow has been motionless for a long time. He has been in a bad state recently. His head is empty and he can't be energetic all day long.

I'm going to do two updates recently to try to find my status.

It's not enough after only forty days. Bai Miao is still too weak.
