The experience of living in the cold palace

Chapter 69 Returning to the Palace (two in one, please collect and read)
Whoosh!
Things flew out and went straight to Zhong Qiang.

Zhong Qiang frowned and used his palms to catch the thing.

His jaw tingled slightly, and he glanced at Li Xuan with some fear.

This casual blow made him unable to bear it. The young man in front of him was stronger than he imagined.

You know, he has already forged his bones to perfection, and he only needs to open up his Dantian to break through to the innate realm.

This young man is at least in the same realm as him, and has even reached the innate realm.

Think of this.

Zhong Qiang's expression became more solemn.

Being so young and so powerful, this young man's origins are probably very important and must be treated with caution.

At the same time, he also felt some regret in his heart. He was still a little too reckless.

You shouldn't offend such a powerful person for the sake of your idiot brother-in-law.

Just when Zhong Qiang was about to take a look at the things Li Xuan threw over.

But Wang Hai said sternly: "You dare to attack the Yamen to arrest the head, and you deserve to die. You guys, catch him quickly and don't let him escape."

"I just saw that you killed your whole family, and I don't want to argue too much with you. You still dare to say something rude. You are really looking for death!"

Li Xuan's figure flashed and appeared in front of Wang Hai like a ghost.

clap clap clap!
Several loud slaps were slapped on Wang Hai's face, sending him flying away.

Several of Wang Hai's teeth were knocked out, and half of his face was swollen.

"Son."

The two guards beside him didn't even react, looking confused.

When Wang Hai fell to the ground, they thought of helping him.

"Um?!"

When Zhong Qiang saw this, his pupils shrank suddenly.

So fast.

He didn't even see clearly how Li Xuan moved to Wang Hai just now.

subconsciously.

He looked at the thing in his hand. When he saw the appearance of the thing clearly, his heart suddenly trembled and he almost lost his balance.

The thing I saw was a pure black token, with a blood-colored eye on the front and the word 'East Factory' written on the back.

"How's it going, Mr. Zhong, do you see clearly?!" Li Xuan glanced at Zhong Qiang.

Zhong Qiang's body trembled, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, bowed his body, and spoke in a humble tone:

"Young man, I don't know how to see Mount Tai. I didn't know that you, my father-in-law, are coming here. I hope you will forgive me!"

The factory guards in the East Factory are just like the Jin Yiwei, enforcing the law on behalf of the emperor!
He even has the right to cut first and play later.

Even their county magistrate was as fearful as a tiger when facing the factory guard, let alone a little head catcher like him.

The father-in-law in front of me, even if he beheaded, no one would dare to say a word for him!
He never thought that the token in his hand was fake.

First, Dongchang's tokens have been specially processed and are difficult to forge.

Secondly, since the young man in front of me is so powerful, there is no need to pretend to be a factory guard to deceive him.

To take a step back, so what if it's a fake?

At best, he was deceived.

But if it is true, then if he still dares to act arrogantly, then he thinks his life is too long.

at this time.

But Wang Hai covered his face and stood up, saying sternly: "Brother-in-law, he, he dared to hit me in front of you. He is so lawless. Catch him quickly."

"Shut up Laozi!"

Zhong Qiang walked over and slapped Wang Hai in the face.

Immediately, the other side of Wang Hai's face also became swollen.

The cheeks that were originally handsome were now swollen like a pig's head.

Wang Hai screamed and was completely stunned. He didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Zhong Qiang then walked up to Li Xuan and said, "This little brother-in-law has always been domineering. I will take him back to the Yamen later and punish him. Of course, if you mind, I can also hand him over to you." Full authority to dispose of it!”

He is now ready to kill his brother-in-law.

He got himself into so much trouble for no reason.

When I take back all the inheritance, I will definitely cook this useless thing!
Li Xuan looked calm: "Our family doesn't have time to deal with such trivial matters, you can just deal with it here. Also, He Dazhuang..."

"I'll tell the Yamen to let him go now. He Dazhuang has done something good by reporting the evil spirits, and he should be rewarded!" Zhong Qiang said quickly, his attitude completely reversed from before.

Li Xuan nodded: "How do you plan to deal with the evil spirits inside?"

"Well, the villain will send someone to guard the palace and prevent people from entering or exiting. Then he will notify the Demon Suppressing Department in the city and ask the officials from the Demon Suppressing Department to come and deal with it. After all, if evil spirits are involved, they must be reported to the Demon Suppressing Department. "Yes." Zhong Qiang thought for a while and said respectfully, "You are the first witness. When the time comes, the people from the Demon Suppression Division may come to you to learn about the situation."

Li Xuan said calmly: "Our family will return to Beijing tomorrow. How long will it take for the people from the Demon Suppression Division to arrive?"

"Fucheng is only about five hundred miles away from our Ruian City. I'll send someone there now. The people from the Suppressing Demon Division should be there tomorrow." Zhong Qiang said.

"Okay, our family will stay at Tongfu Inn. When the people from the Demon Suppression Division arrive, you can just send someone to notify our family." Li Xuan said.

"Yes." Zhong Qiang nodded.

Li Xuan didn't wait long, took back Dongchang's token, and with Zhong Qiang's respectful gift, left slowly with He Yuzhu.

'This token from Dongchang really works, and it saves me some trouble. It seems that I will have to get close to Zhao Hao in the future. Li Xuan thought to himself.

Previously, Zhao Hao, a stall owner of Dongchang, gave him a Dongchang token in order to let him monitor the useless concubine in Leng Palace.

This token is regarded as an identity certificate, which means that he is the secret agent of Dongchang.

This secret is naturally incomparable with the actual Dongchang factory guard, but it is still quite effective to use it to scare the little head catcher in this remote area.

"Brother Xuan, you are so awesome. You managed to convince Zhong Qiangzhi in just a few words." He Yuzhu looked admiring.

She knew that Zhong Qiang, as the head catcher of Ruian City, had a high status, second only to the county magistrate.

Normally, those wealthy businessmen and landowners would have to fawn over Zhong Qiang.

But just now, Zhong Qiang looked trembling and respectful.

This made He Yuzhu unable to believe his eyes.

"It's not me that's great, it's just my identity." Li Xuan smiled.

If he didn't have Dongchang's token and he only revealed his identity as the manager of the cold palace, Zhong Qiang might not buy his account.

When you go out, you still have to learn to hold the banner.

Li Xuan and He Yuzhu waited at the inn for about an hour.

He Dazhuang finally came over, holding an exquisite box in his hand.

"Brother, are you okay?!" He Yuzhu stepped forward and asked with concern.

He Dazhuang shook his head: "I'm fine. Captain Zhong asked me a few questions and then let me go. Before leaving, he gave me a box and said it was a reward for my merit in reporting the evil."

"Open it and take a look." Li Xuan said.

He Dazhuang then opened the lock of the box, and there were ingots of silver piled inside.

Looking at the quantity, I'm afraid there are hundreds of taels.

"This, so much money." Brother and sister He Dazhuang and He Yuzhu couldn't help but widen their eyes.

In their whole lives, they have never seen so many silver ingots.

How much firewood do you have to collect to earn so much money? !

'This Zhong Qiang is on the right side. It seems he is afraid that I will be angry and blame him. '

Li Xuan knew that this money was given to him by Zhong Qiang through He Dazhuang's hand.

Naturally, he didn't want to give it back. He didn't want the free money to be in vain:
"You can accept this money with peace of mind and don't have to worry about anything."

He Dazhuang immediately shook his head and said: "This, this is too much, Brother Xuan, we can't have it."

"I'll take it if I say it. If you really follow me to the capital, there will be many places to spend money in the future, so this little money is nothing." Li Xuan's tone was unquestionable.

He Dazhuang wanted to say something more, but was directly interrupted by He Yuzhu:
"Then, Brother Xuan, we will accept the money for you first. Thank you, Brother Xuan."

Li Xuan nodded: "It's getting late now, and the city gate is probably closed. You two can find a room in the inn to rest. After meeting the people from the Demon Suppression Division tomorrow, I will leave for Beijing. You have to follow It’s okay if I go back to Beijing, and I won’t force you to follow me.”

"Brother Xuan, let's go. See you tomorrow." He Yuzhu smiled sweetly.Finished.

She then carried the box containing the silver ingots and pulled He Dazhuang out of the room slowly.

Not far from the door, He Dazhuang came back to his senses and stopped:

"Xiao Zhu, Brother Xuan discovered this evil spirit first. We can't keep it all to ourselves. We have to give Brother Xuan at least half of it."

He Yuzhu pursed his red lips and whispered:

"Brother, don't you understand? Brother Xuan asked us to accept this money because he treats us as his own. If you refuse Brother Xuan, you just don't want to do things for Brother Xuan, which will make Brother Xuan unhappy. Besides, I won't I just said that I would help Brother Xuan accept it, and if Brother Xuan wants to take the money back in the future, I will naturally return it to him."

"Well..." He Dazhuang scratched his head, but he didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns inside.

'These two brothers and sisters. 'Li Xuan's ears and eyes were sharp, so he naturally heard the whispers outside the door clearly.

This actually made his evaluation of He Yuzhu rise by one point again.

At such a young age, he has such a delicate mind. If he enters the harem, he will definitely be a good hand in palace fighting.

of course.

It's a good thing that He Yuzhu is thoughtful. When she really returns to Beijing with him, she should be able to take good care of the yard she bought in the capital.

Li Xuan released Jinhua, teased her for a while, and then went to practice on his own.

Before returning to the palace, Li Xuan wanted to practice this breath-condensing technique called "Xuanwu Closed Breath Technique" to a small degree.

At that time, he will be able to hide it from the eyes and ears of most Xiantian realm warriors, and even the Grandmaster, reducing the risk of exposure.

This "Xuanwu Breathing Technique" is an advanced second-level martial arts. Just getting started requires one thousand experience points.

of course.

Li Xuan doesn't need to practice it to the beginning now, he just needs to let it appear on the panel.

After several days of exploration and research, he felt that the "Xuanwu Closed Breathing Method" should soon appear on the panel.

Because the "Xuanwu Breathing Method" and the "Kunpeng Breathing Method" have different approaches but similar effects.

They all use their own breathing to regulate the state of the body, including internal organs, muscles, skin, etc.

Of course, the focus of the two is different.

"Kunpeng Breathing Method" focuses on recovery, while "Xuanwu Breathing Method" focuses on hiding!
Nowadays, Li Xuan has the foundation to practice the "Kunpeng Breathing Method". By practicing the "Xuanwu Breathing Method", he will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Li Xuan closed his eyes and silently adjusted his inner breath according to the records in the secret book.

call!
Suck!
Between exhalation and inhalation, the rise and fall of his chest gradually became weaker, and finally seemed to remain motionless.

I can't even feel the airflow of my breath.

The next day.

Li Xuan sat cross-legged on the bedside, like a basalt sinking in the sea, as motionless as a mountain.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be difficult to even notice that there was someone sitting at the head of the bed.

"The "Xuanwu Breathing Technique" finally appeared on the panel." Li Xuan breathed out.

He glanced at the panel and found that the progress bar of "Xuanwu Closed Breathing Method" showed that it was not yet started (1/1000).

Without hesitation, he added experience points to it.

In an instant.

The image of himself practicing the "Xuanwu Closed Breathing Technique" over and over again appeared in his mind.

The practice progress bar soon became entry level (0/10000).

'After these days of accumulation, in addition to spending about 7000 experience points on adding "Dielang Seven Killing Swords" to Xiaocheng, I still have more than 15000 martial arts experience points left to add. However, I can add this "Xuanwu Closed Breathing Technique" Add it directly to Xiaocheng! Li Xuan thought to himself.

His current martial arts experience bonus per hour is 111 points, which is 2600 points in one day.

As long as a few days of accumulation are enough, it will be enough to instantly make a superior martial art reach the state of minor success.

Once you reach a small level of success in the "Xuanwu Breathing Method", you can adjust your inner breath and hide your inner energy.

In this way, once he performs the "Xuanwu Breathing Method", even warriors or practitioners who have practiced special induction methods will not be able to see his true state.

No further thought.

Li Xuan added up the experience points at once, and instantly the progress of the "Xuanwu Closed Breathing Method" reached a small level (5900/20000).

He ran the "Xuanwu Breathing Method" and found that all the pores were closed, and the whole person seemed to have entered a state of trance, without any breath leaking.

The most important thing is that the Dantian in his body seemed to slowly close with his breathing, and no trace of inner energy was revealed.

of course.

This method of breath concentration and concealment can be adjusted according to one's own control and will not be seen by others.

'Very good, there are about 20 days left, so you can practice the "Thousand Faces Illusion Technique" or "Wandering Around the World and Dragon Steps" again. '

A matter of concern was resolved.

Li Xuan is in a good mood.

He went out to wash up, and after having breakfast with the He family brothers and sisters, he continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

until noon.

A police officer from the Yamen ran over respectfully, saying that the people from the Demon Suppression Division had arrived and were now in the palace.

Li Xuan expressed his knowledge and went straight to the palace with He Dazhuang and He Yuzhu.

Just to be on the safe side.

He hid the magic elixir and the dagger that he had taken from the demon.

When Li Xuan came to the palace.

I saw a man and a woman checking the corpses of everyone in the palace and the demon.

This man was probably in his forties, with a beard and a serious smile.

The woman is 20 years old, has a pretty appearance, has a pair of ponytails, and is carrying a small cloth bag. She seems to be an apprentice, following the man and looking left and right.

The head catcher Zhong Qiang stood beside the man and woman, extremely respectful and did not dare to express his anger.

'These two should be the officials of the Demon Suppression Department. Li Xuan's eyes flashed.

The Demon Suppressing Division, like Dongchang and Jinyiwei, is an independent organization that directly takes orders from the emperor.

of course.

The only difference is that the Demon Suppression Division never interferes in government affairs and is only responsible for cleaning up and solving evil incidents.

Ye Wushuang, the leader of the Demon Suppressing Division, is one of the only two martial saints in Daqian.

The man who was still examining the body saw Li Xuan and others and couldn't help but ask, "Are you the first to witness the crime scene?"

"Well, I originally brought some of my friends to the palace to pay off my debts, but when I saw corpses all over the backyard, I reported it to the government." Li Xuan nodded.

The man said: "Did you hear the sound of fighting?"

"Not really." Li Xuan shook his head.

The woman took out a biscuit from a small bag and ate it without caring about the dead bodies around her:

"Old Tian, ​​it seems that some other practitioners took action and killed this human demon. All the demon pills were taken away. Our trip this time was in vain."

The man's face darkened: "How many times have I told you to call me master when you are at work? No matter how big or small you are."

"I understand, Lao Tian." The woman nodded seriously.

The man shook his head helplessly and looked at Li Xuan: "I heard from Mr. Zhong that you are from the palace?"

"Well, my name is Li Xuan. I am temporarily working as a steward in the Cold Palace, and I am also responsible for some matters in the East Factory. A few years ago, my family was also wiped out by evil spirits. This time I came back with the intention of paying homage to my parents, but I didn't expect to encounter evil spirits again." Li Xuan nodded and asked, "What do you call them?"

It's a pity that he is so handsome and he is a eunuch... The man said: "I am in Shimoda Guang, this is my disciple Ye Xiaorou."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'd like to ask if there are more of these evil spirits recently. I rarely go out and encounter evil demons." Li Xuan said curiously.

Ye Xiaorou ate the biscuits and said vaguely: "Yes, for some reason, there have been more demonic activities in Huaqing Mansion recently, and there are even demons showing up, so we have to call the headquarters for help."

Tian Guang glared at Ye Xiaorou, and then looked at Li Xuan: "Recently, the number of evil spirits has indeed increased, but most of them dare not show up, and they cannot cause much trouble for the time being."

"That's good." Li Xuan nodded.

He chatted with Master Tian Guang for a while, explained the matter clearly, and then left directly.

After being delayed for so long, it’s time to return to the palace!

Li Xuan held the horse, looked at the He family brothers and sisters following him, and asked:

"Have you made up your mind? Are you sure you want to come back to Beijing with me?"
