Chapter 327 Cross Hill Robbery

Chapter 327 Cross Hill Robbery

That night, Manna Hall.

"Did Doctor Xue really say that?"

Emperor Yongyuan frowned and asked Zhao Feng below.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."

"Mr. Xue is unwilling to disclose the specific details to the old slave, but his attitude is particularly tough. It seems that His Highness Ankang's condition is of great research value for his medical books."

Zhao Feng reported truthfully.

Although he didn't like Dr. Xue's attitude towards him, he would never mix his own subjective emotions in such matters.

After hearing these words, Emperor Yongyuan pondered for a moment and then said:

"Since he can't cure Ankang's condition, it's useless."

Emperor Yongyuan shook his head regretfully.

"But Your Majesty, Doctor Xue said that he can make Princess Ankang healthier."

"This alone should be enough to comfort Ah Xuan."

Regardless of whether it is Emperor Yongyuan or Zhao Feng, even though there may still be several years to come, they are already working on matters after Princess Ankang is gone.

For people like them, it is a habit to prepare for a rainy day.

"Even if we can protect Ah Xuan's future, do you still think that because of health issues, he will choose to abandon our Daxing?"

Emperor Yongyuan's tone contained displeasure.

Zhao Feng also heard the emotions of Emperor Yongyuan, and couldn't help but feel nervous, but he still had the courage to speak out his true thoughts.

"What His Highness Ankang has experienced in the past few years cannot be made up for in the short term."

"Although Ah Xuan is quite intelligent, he is only one year old after all."

"He will consider the pros and cons, but with his relationship with Princess Ankang, I'm afraid the probability of being motivated in the end is still higher."

Obviously, Emperor Yongyuan didn't like this answer.

"Isn't there still the palace maid Yu'er?"

Hearing Emperor Yongyuan's question, Zhao Feng hurriedly knelt down and admonished:

"Your Majesty, you should never choose this path unless absolutely necessary."

"This will completely eliminate the possibility of Ah Xuan sincerely surrendering to Daxing."

"When the time comes, it will definitely not be a good result for Daxing."

Emperor Yongyuan pressed his eyebrows with a headache.

It's not that he doesn't know this truth, it's just that his time is getting less and less now, which greatly consumes his patience.

"never mind."

"In this case, I will agree to Doctor Xue's request, and in addition, I will take care of the others."

"When Ankang becomes healthy, it will definitely make some people impatient."

Zhao Feng looked solemn and immediately accepted the order:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the safety of Jingyang Palace will be ensured by our Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Emperor Yongyuan waved his hand and said casually:

"Okay, I'll leave these things to you."

"It is important to keep the palace calm recently."

Zhao Feng understood what Emperor Yongyuan meant and then withdrew from the Manna Hall.

As soon as Zhao Feng arrived outside the door, he saw Manager Shang waiting here.

"Godfather."

Zhao Feng stepped forward to say hello.

Manager Shang nodded, and then the father and son left the place side by side, heading towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

On the way, Zhao Feng truthfully reported the previous instructions at Ganlu Hall to Manager Shang.

"Daddy, I'm afraid we'll be busy for a while."

Zhao Feng sighed with emotion, frowning, and seemed to be troubled by the next situation.

"The purpose of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is to share your Majesty's worries. It's better to be busy. It's better to be busy."

"Feng'er, it's better to be busy than idle."

Manager Shang comforted his adopted son.

The two figures gradually disappeared into the shadows and disappeared.

…

Jingyang Palace.

Li Xuan sat on the eaves, closing his eyes and looking up at the scorching sun in the sky.

Although he had his eyes closed at the moment, he could still clearly feel the position of the sun.

Li Xuan silently operated the Yang Deficiency Sensing Qi method and carried out the process of refining Qi.

However, this process is extremely slow and boring, and to this day Li Xuan still has not developed a trace of yang attribute energy in his body.

[Yang Deficiency Sensing Qi Method: 23%]

Li Xuan has not even made a quarter of the progress in practicing this technique.

After a long time, Li Xuan completed today's Yang Deficiency Qi Sensing Technique, and the progress of the technique jumped from twenty-three to twenty-four.

But when he practices the Yin Weak Qi Gathering Technique again in the evening, the progress of the Yang Deficiency Qi Sensing Technique will drop by 0.5 points again.

In other words, on average, he can only get 0.5 progress for each sect skill.

Based on this calculation, if he wants to practice these two techniques to perfection and complete the cultivation of Qi Sensing Realm, he is afraid that it will still take him half a year.

In half a year, the chill in Princess Ankang's body may have become stronger two or three times.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel anxious.

And since he learned through Doctor Xue that Princess Ankang's current body could not withstand even an outbreak of cold, Li Xuan did not dare to postpone helping Princess Ankang absorb the cold.

"We have to find a way to speed up the progress of cultivation."

"Although heavenly materials and earthly treasures with yin and yang attributes are scarce, they are not impossible."

"Let's go find the two managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and inquire."

Li Xuan now sets the practice time of the two techniques at noon and midnight.

During these two times, he could feel that practicing would be easier.

After completing today's practice of the Yang Deficiency Sensing Qi Technique, Li Xuan went straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Before, he had also said hello to the two managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help him keep an eye on the treasures that could be used.

But at that time, Zhao Feng made it clear that yin-yang attributes of heavenly materials and earthly treasures were extremely rare and valuable.

Of course, the yin and yang attributes of the heavenly materials and earth treasures mentioned by Zhao Feng here are all yin or yang attributes of a single attribute.

After all, there are very few people in the world who dare to practice Yin and Yang like Li Xuan.

Even a person with a single yin and yang attribute who is not the pride of heaven would never dare to think about it.

Therefore, most of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures on the market that can help cultivate the yin and yang attributes have a single attribute.

In special circumstances like Li Xuan, you cannot take such heavenly materials and earthly treasures, otherwise other attributes will drop significantly, and it will be even more difficult to regain balance by then.

And over and over again, Li Xuan will most likely only waste two kinds of yin and yang attributes of heaven and earth treasures, and then his progress will not improve at all.

Therefore, what Li Xuan needs is the treasure of heaven, material and earth that balances yin and yang, which is even more rare.

It's just that such treasures of heaven and earth are generally not of much use to cultivation, and their personalities are relatively gentle. On the contrary, they are not of much value to other cultivators.

"I wonder if there is any news from Old Zhaotou?"

Li Xuan came to the House of Internal Affairs with a frown on his face.

He went straight to Manager Shang's yard, but found no one.

Li Xuan sniffed and wandered around the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a long time before he found the scent of the two of them in a study-like place.

He meowed outside, then pushed open a window with his head, put his paws on the edge of the window, and looked inside.

In the room, Manager Shang and Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile when they looked at the cat head coming in from the window.

"Axuan, stop hanging around and come in."

Manager Shang waved to Li Xuan.

After getting permission, Li Xuan was not polite. He immediately put one of his hind legs on the edge of the window, and then used force to easily flip the cat into the window.

"Haha, you are pretty good at climbing through windows."

Zhao Feng on the side couldn't help but joked.

"Meow! (That's not true!)"

Li Xuan raised his head proudly, this was his special skill.

I think that before he started practicing, he often rummaged around in the palace, and he was already very familiar with it.

It seems that Manager Shang and Zhao Feng were just discussing something here.

Li Xuan glanced at some letters and a map placed on the table.

"Hey, this seems to be a map of the capital?"

Li Xuan jumped on the table and saw that the two stewards had no intention of avoiding him, so he started to look at it openly.

"Meow? (What are you doing?)"

Li Xuan tilted his head.

"That's not something a little kitten like you should know."

Zhao Feng rubbed Li Xuan's round head and said cheerfully.

Li Xuan retorted impatiently, but Zhao Feng dodged him.

"Tch, you dodged pretty quickly!"

Li Xuan cursed secretly in his heart.

As his cultivation continued to make breakthroughs, he naturally narrowed the gap between him and Zhao Feng, but if he wanted to bite Zhao Feng's hand, he still needed to work harder.

"Axuan, you came to us for something, right?"

At this time, Manager Shang asked Li Xuan.

Li Xuan didn't hesitate and directly stated his purpose, picked up the brush on the table and wrote down a line of words.

"It turns out it's about the treasures of heaven and earth."

After learning about Li Xuan's purpose, Manager Shang and Zhao Feng looked at each other silently.

"Speaking of what we are doing now, it does have something to do with the heavenly materials and earthly treasures you need, but we haven't gotten the exact information yet."

Li Xuan's heart suddenly moved. He didn't expect that he would come by such a coincidence.

"Axuan, do you still remember the Ping An Trading Company I took you to when you left the palace last time?"

Manager Shang asked Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded immediately.

At that time, it was Li Xuan's first time out of the palace. Manager Shang brought a group of people to Ping'an Trading Company in the capital in the name of going out to buy goods.

According to Manager Shang, Ping'an Trading Company is one of Emperor Yongyuan's properties, and it is also an important base for them to gather information outside.

At that time, after Mr. Shang completed his disguise in Ping'an Trading Company, he took Li Xuan to the Siyun Grain Store in Baoningfang.

Now, Manager Shang mentioned this matter again. It seems that their current problem is related to Ping An Trading Company.

Zhao Feng on the side took over the conversation and briefly introduced the current situation to Li Xuan.

It turned out that a few days ago, the caravan of Ping An Trading Company was hijacked by a group of people when it was about to arrive in the capital.

Not only were all the goods robbed, but all the people responsible for guarding the caravan were also silenced.

Regarding this matter, both Manager Shang and Zhao Feng thought it was not simple.

Everyone in the capital knows the name of Ping'an Trading Company. Although the outside world does not know that it is the property of Emperor Yongyuan, the power of Ping'an Trading Company is not small at all, and its business is spread throughout Daxing.

They really couldn't imagine who would hijack the Ping An Trading Company's caravan near the capital.

To outsiders, this is tantamount to committing suicide.

It's not that Ping An Trading Company's caravans have never been robbed.

Who in business does not take risks? As the saying goes, wealth can be gained through risk.

If they carry valuable goods in the wilderness, they will definitely attract bandits.

However, this is probably the first time that Ping An Trading Company has been robbed around the capital.

Therefore, this incident directly alarmed the two managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Normally, they would never interfere in the affairs of Ping An Trading Company.

But this time, Emperor Yongyuan personally ordered it, and they could only find out as soon as possible.

According to detailed records in the letter sent, the robbery occurred three days ago at Cross Slope, sixty miles away from the capital.

This place is considered an important transportation thoroughfare. It not only has roads leading to the capital, but also to several other important cities nearby. Although it is in the wilderness, there is an inn with a good business and a lot of people coming and going. It is absolutely Not a good place to start.

But the caravans of Ping An Trading Company were all robbed, and everything that was unreasonable became reasonable.

The group of robbers rushed out of the forest, without saying a word, they killed everyone on the road and then took away the goods in a swaggering manner.

This information was obtained from the inn located on the cross slope.

Although the robbers killed everyone on the road, they did not invade the inn.

The inn was not far from the scene of the incident, so there were even many witnesses.

After understanding the whole story, Li Xuan didn't show much interest.

Although this group of robbers acted cleanly, such a simple robbery might not be difficult for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Li Xuan looked up at Manager Shang and Zhao Feng. He was still more concerned about what Manager Shang meant by the treasures of heaven, material and earth.

Seeing Li Xuan's expression, Manager Shang naturally understood what he meant.

"There was news from this caravan before, saying that it had obtained a Meridiania lotus."

"According to what the caravan manager said, this Ziwu Bingti Lotus is an unheard-of treasure produced by mutation."

"He also got the news from me before, so he paid attention to this special treasure of heaven and earth that has both yin and yang attributes, so he paid a high price to bring it back."

"But this time it was also robbed."

When Li Xuan heard this, he was immediately speechless.

"Isn't this too coincidental?"

He finally got the information about the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but in the end he encountered a robber and robbed them of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"Is this targeting my little kitten!?"

Seeing that Li Xuan was so angry that he was about to explode, Manager Shang quickly smiled and comforted him:

"Haha, don't be angry."

"I guess the other party didn't come here for Ziwu Bingdilian."

"The efficacy of this kind of natural treasure produced by sudden mutation cannot be confirmed yet, so the value is hard to say."

"Although the steward of the caravan spent a lot of money, it was a huge bargain for the heavenly materials and earthly treasures with yin and yang attributes, because no one knows the specific effects of this thing."

"So, I guess no one would choose to hijack the Ping An Trading Company's caravan for such an item of uncertain value?"

"I'm afraid there's something else hidden in this."

Zhao Feng on the side also nodded seriously.

They had just received this news before, and Emperor Yongyuan also sent them an order for a thorough investigation.

The father and son were preparing to send someone to investigate the matter immediately, when Li Xuan appeared at the window.

At this time, Manager Shang suddenly looked at Li Xuan and asked him:

"How's it going, A-Xuan?"

"It's about your treasures. Are you interested in going with us?"

Manager Shang's sudden suggestion made Zhao Feng frown and look at his godfather in confusion.

Manager Shang immediately gave Zhao Feng a cryptic look. Zhao Feng understood and remained silent.

Li Xuan was also surprised. He didn't expect Manager Shang to suddenly invite him.

This is a matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Li Xuan should not have arbitrarily interfered with it.

But after all, this caravan brought the treasures of heaven and earth that he needed.

Although according to what Mr. Shang said, the effect cannot be determined yet, it is always related to himself.

Moreover, as the saying goes, there is no reward for no merit, so he could just take this opportunity to return this favor of heaven and earth.

Li Xuan thought for a while, then nodded and agreed to the matter.

Manager Shang smiled, gently touched Li Xuan's head, and then said:

"Don't worry, you will be responsible for helping with the search this time. Other matters of contribution will be handled by the eunuchs in colorful clothes."
