The experience of living in the cold palace

Chapter 81 Princess Hongying’s temptation (third update, please subscribe)

Li Xuan was a little confused.

what's the situation?
I?Suppress bandits? !
What Gou Ba stuff are you talking about?
Li Xuan never expected that Princess Hongying would make such an outrageous suggestion.

If you want to reward yourself, even if you give me 2 taels of gold, I won’t dislike it.

What the hell is this bandit suppression? !
Li Xuan wondered if Princess Hongying had seen through that she was the masked person before and was deliberately testing him.

"What's wrong, aren't you willing?" Princess Hongying couldn't help but said, "This is a rare opportunity. Black Wind Village has been entrenched in Taihu Province for many years and has plundered countless resources, including various elixirs, magic weapons and even spiritual weapons. , and there are countless gold and silver treasures, which are enough for you to make a lot of money as long as you have the ability."

talking.

She added: "You must know that the other factory guards and the trophies obtained from suppressing the bandits have to hand over [-]% to the East Factory!"

"This one……"

Li Xuan couldn't help but glance at Wei Jingzhong who was standing aside.

He was worried that Wei Jingzhong would deliberately check his strength because of Princess Hongying's words.

Fortunately, Wei Jingzhong did not do this, but said calmly:
"Hongying's suggestion is not a bad idea. You can follow us to suppress the bandits, and everything you get will be yours."

"Of course, you can also choose to refuse. When this bandit suppression is over, I will reward you as appropriate."

Li Xuan pondered in his mind after listening to Wei Jingzhong's words.

Want to go? !

According to his idea, it would be best to stay in the cold palace until he becomes invincible and then come out.

However, this is naturally unrealistic.

Because he chose to practice the "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra", he needed the Thunder Strike Wood to assist him in his practice.

Lightning strike wood is valuable. According to Shi Yu, if you want to cultivate to the late stage of the Xiantian realm, just buying thunder strike wood will cost upwards of 5 taels of silver!

Judging from Li Xuan's current alchemy progress, it will take about half a year.

This is still the most ideal situation!
The most important thing is that if he becomes a non-staff member of Dongchang, he will need to give Zhao Hao 50 taels every time he leaves the palace.

Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, it will inevitably arouse Zhao Hao's suspicion.

After all, Li Xuan's current level of alchemy is not enough to support him from going out frequently.

If he goes to suppress the bandits this time and can obtain huge funds, then Li Xuan will have enough reasons to explain the source of his funds in the future without arousing suspicion.

'According to the information obtained so far, the location of the Blood Lotus Sect's blood sacrifice is most likely in Huaqing Mansion, while Black Wind Village is located in Guangning Mansion. As long as you are careful, there shouldn't be any big problems. Li Xuan quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

This time Wei Jingzhong is in charge of the overall situation, plus Princess Hongying's knife-catching organization and the family power behind it. With his backing to Dongchang, the risk should be extremely small.

It’s just to pick up the money!

This may be why Princess Hongying feels that doing this is rewarding herself.

'It's just that if you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're afraid of the unexpected. Once you go out, you will definitely encounter various unpredictable situations. You must be cautious and cautious! '

Li Xuan didn't want to put himself in danger for temporary gain.

"You, little eunuch, are too indecisive. Do you need to think about this for so long?!" Princess Hongying raised her eyebrows.

She felt that she was giving the little eunuch in front of her a chance to make money, but she didn't expect that the little eunuch still didn't appreciate it.

Li Xuan smiled apologetically and said: "Princess, don't be surprised. I am a young girl with low abilities, so I will inevitably have to make some trade-offs."

talking.

He looked at Wei Jingzhong again: "Mr. Wei, I wonder when our Dongchang will leave for Guangning Mansion to suppress the bandits?"

Wei Jingzhong thought for a while and said, "One month at the latest, after all the forces have appeared, I will let the deputy factory supervisor lead the team there."

According to their positions, the East Factory is divided into factory supervisors (factory officials), deputy factory supervisors, criminal officers, deacons, stalls, and factory servants.

Those who can become deputy factory supervisors are generally at the master level.

Moreover, when Wei Jingzhong was away on weekdays, the deputy factory supervisor had full authority to manage the East Factory.

This time Wei Jingzhong asked the deputy factory supervisor to lead the team, which proved that he attached great importance to this operation.

Of course, this is also inevitable.

Judging from Wei Jingzhong's scheming attitude, even if Princess Hongying didn't say it explicitly, he might have guessed that the Blood Lotus Sect's repeated attacks must be due to the imminent birth of a destiny!
Now, Wei Jingzhong has been trapped as a Grand Master for many years and is in urgent need of a life map to help him advance to Martial Saint.

Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity.

Li Xuan thought for a while and said: "Since the princess gave me this opportunity, I naturally dare not live up to it. I also ask Wei Gong to take me with him when he is elected."

In one month, if he is lucky enough to find the lightning strike wood needed for practice, it will be enough for him to open at least half of the acupoints in the dragon's spine.

When the time comes, with the strength of his inner Qi, coupled with other martial arts, he may not be able to fight with warriors in the late Xiantian realm.

The risk will be greatly reduced.

The most important thing is that during this month, he can also learn other skills.

For example, learning the "Kamikaze Arrow" obtained from Qiu Long gives oneself the ability to attack from a distance.

As well as improving the levels of "Seven Killing Swords of Die Lang" and "Seven Star Steps of Tiangang".

Strive to achieve great success in both martial arts.

There are also drawing talismans and so on.

Wei Jingzhong nodded slightly: "At that time, I will ask Zhao Hao to inform you."

Li Xuan couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hao, who had been listening with his head down, and the latter blinked at him.

Obviously, he also got this fat job!Princess Hongying said: "Go back and prepare well. Although Uncle Wei is in charge this time and there is a grandmaster leading the team, if one of them is not good, there is still a risk of death."

"Thank you for reminding me, Princess. You will be careful." Li Xuan bowed slightly.

Wei Jingzhong said, "If there's nothing else, just go and do your work."

"Yes, the little one retire."

Li Xuan didn't stay any longer. After bowing to Duke Wei and Princess Hongying, he slowly left.

"The villain also resigned."

Zhao Hao clasped his fists in salute and left with Li Xuan.

In the huge palace, only Wei Jingzhong and Princess Hongying were left.

Wei Jingzhong took a sip of tea and said, "This little eunuch is quite interesting."

"What's the point? I mean, I have a good skin, but I am cautious and indecisive. I don't have the momentum of a warrior to be brave and diligent. I'm afraid I won't be able to go very far on the road of martial arts." Princess Hongying said.

Wei Jingzhong smiled: "Martial arts is about relaxing and relaxing. It does not require rushing forward blindly. Hongying, you have a good talent in martial arts, but you have just passed the easy break, so you need to calm yourself down a lot."

"I have my own way, so I won't bother Uncle Wei." Princess Hongying smiled.

This smile revealed a bit of chivalrous tenderness.

Wei Jingzhong didn't say any more and said: "The Blood Lotus Sect's frequent activities in Taihu Province must have a destiny to be born. By then, a war will be inevitable."

"I will participate in the fight for the destiny map when the time comes, and I will have no time to clone myself. You still have to find a way to seize the destiny seed."

"This is also a great opportunity for you!"

After refining the life seed, you can not only master a magical skill instantly.

If you are lucky, there may be a map that leads to an unknown place hidden in your life seed.

With the help of life seeds, you can enter unknown places and obtain greater benefits.

Therefore, sometimes the life seed is more precious than the life map.

Princess Hongying said: "Of course I know this. It's just that after the fate seed flies out of the fate map, it will randomly appear in a ten-mile radius. Even if you use inner energy to sense it, you still need to be within three feet of it. If you want to find it, It still requires a certain amount of luck.”

Life Seed is intangible and can be attached to anything.

It can only be sensed using internal energy, and it needs to be very close to it to sense it.

Searching within a ten-mile radius is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Wei Jingzhong said in a calm tone: "You are the princess, and you have good luck. You only need to be careful of the saint from the Blood Lotus Sect. This destiny is naturally yours."

"Well, I wonder if my brothers will take action this time?" Princess Hongying asked.

Wei Jingzhong shook his head: "They are all focused on attacking the realm of the Grand Master now, and the fate seed is not very attractive to them. However, I am afraid they will not miss this grand event, and they should send their people to Guangzhou." Ning Mansion."

"Then Quang Ninh Mansion will be lively this time. The turbider the water is, the easier it will be to catch fish. It's best to catch a few big fish this time."

Princess Hongying exudes heroic spirit invisibly.

She stood up and said, "Uncle Wei, I'm going to leave first. It's up to you to explain to the Queen Mother."

"Yeah." Wei Jingzhong nodded slightly.

Princess Hongying walked out of the hall and looked in the direction of Leng Palace:

"Could this little eunuch be the masked man from before?"

She learned some information about Li Xuan from Zhao Hao. She knew that Li Xuan had been to Guangning Mansion some time ago, experienced a melee between Black Wind Village and the Knife Catcher Organization, and escaped smoothly, and finally made a windfall.

Various signs made her doubt whether Li Xuan was the masked man who had teamed up with her to kill Qin Kun.

After all, she thought about it afterwards, if the masked man was really an experienced disciple of a noble family or sect, he should be able to practice the breath gathering technique.

This is a martial art that must be learned when going out to experience.

But not only did the masked man not learn, but he also seemed to attach great importance to money. He didn't look like a disciple of a sect or aristocratic family at all.

Then the only explanation that can be given is that this masked man came from a humble background and did not have the means to learn breath-containing techniques, but he was extremely talented and his martial arts skills far exceeded those of the same level, which is why this situation was possible.

That's why she asked Duke Wei to call Li Xuan over, just to see for herself if there were any similarities between Li Xuan and the masked man.

However, Li Xuan's performance just now didn't feel like the masked man who could kill the sharp archer Qiu Long.

It was hard for her to directly test him, so she suggested that Li Xuan join the bandit suppression.

When she arrives at Guangning Mansion, she can naturally judge based on Li Xuan's performance or test it out herself.

'Forget it, even if he is a masked man, he is just entering the innate realm for the first time, so he can't help me at all. '

Princess Hongying shook her head and left Dongchang quickly without thinking any more.

the other side.

Zhao Hao sent Li Xuan out of the East Factory, but was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he walked side by side with Li Xuan:
"Eunuch Li, thanks to the information you gave me this time, I also took advantage of it and successfully joined the bandit suppression."

Li Xuan said: "Where, if Eunuch Zhao didn't help me speak kindly in front of Duke Wei, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see Duke Wei."

He said this not as a compliment.

After all, if Zhao Hao wanted to claim the information that the Blood Lotus Sect was suspected of colluding with Black Wind Village as his own without mentioning his name, he would naturally not be summoned by Wei Jingzhong.

Zhao Hao chuckled, suddenly put his arms around Li Xuan's shoulders, and whispered:

"Since we are going to Guangning Mansion to suppress bandits this time, how about making a deal in advance?"
