Chapter 370 Manager Shang’s magical power

Chapter 370 Manager Shang’s magical power

"Axuan, His Highness Ankang's current value depends largely on you."

Manager Shang said to Li Xuan seriously.

Li Xuan was stunned and immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.

To the current Emperor Yongyuan, Princess Ankang's value is far less than that of a cat like Li Xuan.

Only when Li Xuan shows more and more value can Emperor Yongyuan care more about the safety of Princess Ankang.

Li Xuanqing swallowed involuntarily and suddenly felt extremely nervous.

He did not expect that the situation in the palace would suddenly become like this.

And he himself knew very well that what Emperor Yongyuan valued more was his own potential rather than his current strength.

If one day Emperor Yongyuan felt that it was no longer worth it, he might give up on him and Princess Ankang at any time.

There is no family affection in the royal family.

For these politicians, only the word "interest" is the most important in the world.

So as long as Li Xuan's strength is not enough to overturn the world, he must first rely on these big shots who only want profit.

This is the same thing everywhere.

"What kind of conflict does Empress Wu have with Jingyang Palace? Does she have to put Ankang to death?"

Li Xuan asked his question.

Manager Shang sighed, but still replied:

"Back then, one of the candidates for the queen was the current Empress Wu, and the other was Concubine Xiao."

Just hearing this, Li Xuan's brows frowned deeply.

But this is all in the past, and Empress Wu has achieved her wish and ascended to the position of the master of the harem. Why should she kill everyone and embarrass Princess Ankang now?

Is it really worth it?

In order to get rid of Ankang, he disobeyed Emperor Yongyuan and implemented the truth.

If someone wants to deal with Empress Wu in the future, this will obviously be an excellent attack point.

Li Xuan knew very well that it was impossible for Empress Wu not to understand these issues.

In other words, Queen Wu believed that even if she paid such a price, it would be worth it to get rid of Princess Ankang.

"Why is Ankang bothering this Empress Wu?"

Li Xuan continued to ask, but this time Manager Shang did not explain clearly.

"I think Princess Ankang has become a threat now."

It can be heard that Manager Shang's tone is full of helplessness.

"Yeah, weren't you always fine before?"

If Queen Wu really dealt with Princess Ankang like she is now, how could the three little ones in Jingyang Palace survive to this day?

The root of the problem is simple. There is a conflict between the interests of both parties.

Li Xuan wanted to see if there was a chance to resolve the conflict at this time.

When there is a conflict of interest, the best solution is to make the interests of both parties consistent and become a community of interests in which everyone prospers and everyone loses.

"What kind of threat does Queen Wu feel?"

"Ankang has no intention of competing with others."

"Perhaps we can reach an agreement with Queen Wu?"

Li Xuan's tail danced eagerly.

Seeing the words written by Li Xuan, Manager Shang smiled happily and smoothed over Li Xuan.

"Axuan, it's good that you have such an idea."

"The word 'profit' is always the best motivation to drive people."

"Both friends and enemies must be controlled with interests."

"But some things are not that simple."

"The best way to get rid of a threat is always to eradicate it."

"No matter what method is used, eradicating the threat will give people peace of mind."

Manager Shang's words gradually made Li Xuan give up.

It seems that Queen Wu has a very decisive attitude towards Jingyang Palace.

Then, Manager Shang suddenly asked:

"Axuan, when you face an enemy you can't defeat, will you cut off your claws and beg for mercy?"

Li Xuan was silent.

"If you do this, maybe there is a chance that His Highness Ankang will be saved from trouble?"

Manager Shang asked next.

Li Xuan frowned, thought for a long time, and then shook his head.

Seeing Li Xuan shake his head, Manager Shang first smiled slightly, and then asked:

"why?"

Li Xuan swung his tail and slowly wrote in mid-air:

"Ankang will be sad."

Putting himself in his shoes, if one day Princess Ankang cut off her limbs for Li Xuan's safety, or even just sat back in the wheelchair, he would be heartbroken.

And would Princess Ankang be willing to let Li Xuan make such a sacrifice for herself?

Li Xuan is sure that Princess Ankang will not.

That kind of sacrifice is just to impress yourself.

The saved party will only be forced to endure endless pain.

At this time, Manager Shang actually clapped his hands and praised Li Xuan's choice.

"Axuan, there is always only one answer."

"Keep sharpening your claws and make them sharper and sharper."

After Mr. Shang said this, he touched Li Xuan's ear with his finger, and then disappeared.

He has already said everything that needs to be said.

Li Xuan stayed on the roof and did not get up and leave for a long time.

Tonight's night is particularly dark.

Li Xuan looked up and could only see a dark cloud cover, and not a single ray of light from the stars and moon could shine down.

But it is such a thick night that sets off the bustling night scene of the capital.

Looking at the lights illuminating one side, Li Xuan had many thoughts in his mind.

"Even if Queen Wu is willing to give us a chance, are you willing to let Ankang and Yu'er live the hard life they had before?"

Li Xuan knew very well that his answer was no.

But he also knew very well who was driving all this.

This reward from Emperor Yongyuan brought a huge response to the harem.

Even though Manager Shang didn't mention it before, Li Xuan was also very aware of the role Emperor Yongyuan played in it.

It was Emperor Yongyuan who pushed Princess Ankang to her current situation.

"Is he pushing us to make a decision?"

Manager Shang's previous words also made Li Xuan suddenly enlightened.

Whether it's Empress Wu or Emperor Yongyuan, only interests can make them friends or enemies.

Judging from the current situation, Li Xuan didn't have much choice. He could only stay with Emperor Yongyuan.

Otherwise, without the only help now, the ending of the three little ones will only be very miserable.

Li Xuan closed his eyes and checked the current progress.

[Yang Deficiency Sensing Qi Method: 80%]

[Yin Weak Qi Gathering Technique: 80%]

The effect of the elixir refined by Imperial Physician Xue was about to be completely digested by Li Xuan.

His daily growth rate is now getting slower and slower, starting to approach the initial speed.

According to his estimation, in another month, he will be able to perfect these two qi-sensing techniques, and by then he will be able to practice the yin and yang attributes of true qi.

Because of Li Xuan's extraordinary talent, there is no bottleneck at all. He only needs to push the progress to reach perfection on his own.

Thanks to this, the threshold that has been difficult for countless human geniuses has been infinitely close to nothing for him.

But even so, Li Xuan now feels that this is too slow.

"No, we can't just rely on Emperor Yongyuan."

"I need to connect with more people."

"Benefit connection!"

Li Xuan looked down at the brightly lit capital under the dark night.

His eyes flickered, and he was filled with thoughts.

…

Early the next morning.

Princess Ankang got up early under Yu'er's service.

Li Xuan was lying by the window, watching Princess Ankang freshen up and prepare to go out.

He listened to Manager Shang's persuasion last night and did not go out for a walk. Instead, he returned to Princess Ankang's bedside and slept peacefully while holding her head as usual.

Princess Ankang plans to go to the West Market today to visit Xiaocui, whom she has not seen for a long time.

Although Princess Ankang has not mentioned it during this period, she is still very worried about Xiao Cui and her grandfather.

It's just that they are in the deep palace and have no control over things outside the palace. They can only hope that the money will help them understand things.

Soon, the three little ones were ready and ready to go out.

Manager Shang personally accompanied them and helped them mount their horses.

The carriage was still the same one that the three little ones took to go to Qianxing Pavilion.

Their trip this time was quite simple. Apart from the three little ones, they were only accompanied by Manager Shang.

But Li Xuan could sense that there were many eunuchs in colorful clothes responsible for protection in the dark.

It seems that Manager Shang just wants to be less publicized and appear more low-key.

Anyway, with Manager Shang personally accompanying him, Li Xuan was relieved.

No matter how crazy Queen Wu was, she wouldn't attack Princess Ankang in the street, right?

Moreover, Manager Shang is a master of the third level, so it may not be easy for Empress Wu to succeed.

Yesterday, when Manager Shang said that, Li Xuan didn't think much about it.

But when he returned to the room last night and thought about it, he felt that something was not right again.

Even if Queen Wu really felt that Princess Ankang had become a threat, what method would she use to deal with it?

As for assassination, Li Xuan always felt that it was a bit outrageous.

But Manager Shang's attitude didn't seem to be fake.

This made Li Xuan unsure about what Queen Wu would do.

"Alas, we can only take one step at a time and see one step at a time."

In addition to practicing hard, Li Xuan could only find ways to find as much help as possible.

He believed that someone as powerful as Queen Wu would definitely have enemies.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Li Xuan might be able to make friends with Empress Wu's enemies.

But the question now is who are Empress Wu's enemies, and who among them is willing to help them.

It was also difficult for Li Xuan, as a cat, to use so little brain capacity to think about these complex issues.

While thinking, it is obvious that time flies very fast.

By the time Li Xuan came to his senses, Princess Ankang was already ready to carry him out of the carriage.

"Axuan, we've arrived."

"I wonder how Xiaocui and her grandfather are doing now?"

Princess Ankang hugged Li Xuan and jumped out of the carriage.

Compared with the last time, when she was in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving, this time Princess Ankang was running and jumping by herself, which was a lot easier.

"Meow."

Li Xuan called out and responded to Princess Ankang.

After Manager Shang asked people to keep an eye on the carriage, he followed the three little ones into the West Market.

This place is still much the same as the last time they came here, with crowds of people lining up and everywhere being crowded.

It's just that the weather is getting colder and colder now. Except for those Hu Ji who are dancing enthusiastically on the roadside, everyone else has a lot more clothes on them.

Last time, Xu Lang and others opened the way for the three little ones, but they didn't suffer much trouble from the crowds.

This time, although only Manager Shang was accompanying him, the three little ones also walked comfortably among the crowd.

Within a distance of about three feet between them, for some reason no one came close, as if there was an invisible big hand separating the crowd.

But no one noticed this strange scene except the three little ones.

When people on the street are squeezed, especially if they find that the other person is a stinky man, they will inevitably want to greet each other's female relatives.

But even under such circumstances, no one even glanced at the three little ones.

"Manager Shang, how did you do this?"

Princess Ankang held Li Xuan in her arms and walked leisurely among the crowd, enjoying the almost transparent presence without any collision, and was particularly surprised.

Li Xuan also looked at this scene in surprise.

He couldn't even detect the fluctuation of zhenqi in Mr. Shang's body.

"Is it that the level is too high for me to detect, or is it some other power?"

At this time, Li Xuan thought of Mr. Ye's method of controlling the shadows in Qianxing Pavilion.

"Is it a way to get to the third level?"

"What kind of ability does Mr. Ke Shang have?"

Li Xuan couldn't see any details at all, and couldn't even guess.

Manager Shang smiled slightly, and then respectfully replied to Princess Ankang:

"It's just some trivial means."

Obviously, Manager Shang didn't want to say more, so Princess Ankang was sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

The three little ones quickly found Xiaocui's stall according to their memory.

Compared to before, their business here is much more prosperous.

There were a lot of people crowded in front of the stall, and Xiao Cui greeted the guests enthusiastically. Xiao Cui's grandfather didn't even raise his head, and kept making various knots there.

"Oh? Business has improved a lot."

Li Xuan felt a little surprised.

It seems that not only have Xiaocui and her grandfather not been troubled by the money gang, but their lives are even better than before.

As soon as they came to the stall, Xiaocui discovered them.

"Miss Li, you are here!"

Xiao Cui greeted her excitedly and abandoned the guests in front of the stall and went straight to Princess Ankang.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuan's eyes widened even more.

Because at this time, the people around them were still making way for them, and no one noticed the strange phenomenon on their side.

Originally, Li Xuan thought that Manager Shang's ability had the function of interfering with other people's cognition.

But now Xiaocui can see them at a glance among the crowded crowd.

Xiaocui is an ordinary girl, Li Xuan is sure of this.

In other words, Manager Shang's abilities may be able to be adjusted for different people.

"What kind of ability is this?"

"If you use it properly, can you become a transparent person?"

Li Xuan stared at Manager Shang, but he couldn't see anything unusual at all.

Manager Shang noticed Li Xuan's gaze and just smiled enigmatically.

Li Xuan looked at Manager Shang, then at the passers-by and Xiao Cui who was coming straight towards them.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xuan slowly noticed that more and more eyes were focused on them.

As Xiao Cui got closer, Manager Shang seemed to have withdrawn his "supernatural power".

The customers in front of the stall all turned their eyes to them curiously.

Xiao Cui quickly ran to Princess Ankang, and she was so excited that she was at a loss.

Li Xuan looked at the speed at which Xiaocui rushed towards her earlier and thought she was going to come up and hug Princess Ankang.

But after thinking about it, reason still prevailed. Xiaocui came to Princess Ankang and bowed. Although the movement was a bit awkward, it was enough to express her mood at the moment.

"Miss, long time no see."

"you……"

Xiaocui wanted to greet Princess Ankang, but her eyes couldn't help but cast her eyes on Princess Ankang's legs.

She hadn't noticed it when she ran over excitedly before, but now she realized that Princess Ankang was actually standing.

"Miss, is your leg okay?"

"It's great that good people are rewarded!"

Xiaocui was so excited that she was at a loss for words, but her joy for Princess Ankang was sincere.

Princess Ankang smiled and didn't explain much. She just replied:

"Xiao Cui, how are you doing lately?"
