Chapter 157 Cat Working
"You are a catfish, your whole family is a catfish!"
Li Xuan directly expressed his dissatisfaction and chased Zhao Feng's hand to bite it.
But Zhao Feng had been prepared, how could Li Xuan bite him?
Shang Zongguan watched Li Xuan persevering in chasing Zhao Feng and couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Feng, this old guy, relied on his strength to bully cats.
Li Xuan found that he couldn't bite it, and he was so angry that he spit at Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng's body shook like a ghost, and it was illusory for a while, and the spit passed through his figure, which was very magical.
"This guy's Qinggong is a bit fierce."
Li Xuan stared, and he was full of momentum, but he couldn't hide the shock in his heart.
"Okay, okay, you two stop making trouble."
"Ah Xuan, you came to us for something, right?"
Shang Zongguan said, while quietly putting his purple clay pot into his sleeve.
Li Xuan then remembered the business and was too lazy to continue to argue with Zhao Feng.
He stretched out his claws, dipped them in the water of Zhao Feng's teacup, and then simply drew a fish on the table, and then used his claws to gesture to his mouth twice.
Shang Zongguan couldn't help shaking his head when he saw it: "Ah Xuan, do you want to eat Mengyuan Dragon Fish again?"
"That thing is not easy to get. If it weren't for the special permission of His Majesty last time, I'm afraid that we couldn't get three Mengyuan Dragon Fish at once with our faces added together."
"This thing can only satisfy your appetite now, it's really not worth it."
"Why don't I find you something else delicious?"
Shang Zongguan explained patiently.
Seeing that Shang Zongguan misunderstood his meaning, Li Xuan bent his arms again and made a muscle-showing gesture.
"Oh? Not for the sake of food?"
Manager Shang was stunned, then looked at the pattern drawn by Li Xuan on the table, and then suddenly realized: "It is something like Mengyuan Dragon Fish, with special effects."
Manager Shang and Zhao Feng looked at each other obscurely, and then continued naturally.
"Ah Xuan, treasures like Mengyuan Dragon Fish are not easy to get."
"Although there are many such things that can improve physical fitness in the palace, they are all specially prepared for royal heirs, and the quantity is extremely limited."
"And I don't know how many of them can be useful to you."
"Trouble, this matter is quite troublesome."
Zhao Feng shook his head and interrupted.
But while he was talking, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he was about to smile into a pouty mouth.
Li Xuan glanced at Zhao Feng speechlessly.
"What kind of person is this? He even wants to control a kitten."
How could Li Xuan not hear the hidden meaning of Zhao Feng's words.
Zhao Feng meant that he had good things, but he couldn't give them away for free.
Seeing that Li Xuan didn't say anything and just silently despised Zhao Feng, Shang, the chief steward, smiled and came out to smooth things over.
"Haha, Feng'er, stop beating around the bush and just say it straight."
"Whether it succeeds or not, can Ah Xuan still hold a grudge against you?"
Zhao Feng immediately took advantage of the situation and responded, "Of course, Ah Xuan is so polite and well-mannered, it's impossible for him to do such a thing."
Li Xuan was even more speechless. Who said I was a civet cat just now?
"I will naturally help you get what Ah Xuan wants."
"It's just that I have some troubles recently and can't spare my hands for the time being."
"I don't know when these troubles will be resolved, so that I can spare time to prepare delicious food and drinks for Ah Xuan."
"When I think about Ah Xuan having to wait for me, my heart hurts so much."
Li Xuan couldn't help but shudder. No wonder this old man can become a eunuch. He speaks so many disgusting words.
He didn't want to listen to old man Zhao Feng continue to show off his "300 words of favored eunuchs in the palace", so he meowed impatiently and told him to speak frankly.
Zhao Feng was waiting for this impatient meow.
He touched his smooth chin, thought for a while, and then said: "Well, let's try the simple ones first."
Zhao Feng reached into his arms and took out a thick stack of letters.
He counted them like counting banknotes and pulled out a letter.
"Come on, Xuan."
"This is easier."
"You hide this letter in the room of Wei Chengji, the eunuch in the seal room of Yanqu Hall."
"After the matter is done, I will find you something good."
"It may not be as effective as Mengyuan Dragon Fish, but it is definitely not bad."
"How?"
Li Xuan looked at the stack of letters in Zhao Feng's hand in a daze.
Is this thing supposed to be carried around like this?
And there are so many of them.
And why do they always pick on Wei Chengji?
Zhao Feng has not had a good time recently.
Ever since he intervened in Feng Zhaoyuan's affairs last time and sided with the concubines of the nobles, the other eunuchs in the palace have had complaints.
In name, Zhao Feng violated the principle that the eunuchs were only loyal to the imperial power and sided with the forces in the court.
But how could these cunning people not know that there must be the intention of His Majesty behind Zhao Feng.
It was inconvenient for His Majesty to come out in person, so Zhao Feng, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, had to act on his behalf.
Everyone understood what was going on.
But the attitude of the eunuchs against Zhao Feng was necessary.
This was a process to further strengthen His Majesty's neutral image.
It was also to maintain the inherent image of the eunuchs being only loyal to the imperial power.
They needed to let everyone in the palace and the court see that Zhao Feng, who violated the principle, had received the due punishment.
It can be said that the other eunuchs got a reasonable opportunity to attack Zhao Feng because of this incident.
His Majesty would naturally stand up for Zhao Feng who was doing things for him.
It was just that when and how to stand were all tricks.
If Zhao Feng could solve it himself and not let His Majesty come forward, it would naturally be a good opportunity to add points to himself.
But if Zhao Feng fails to handle the situation well and makes His Majesty spend a lot of time and effort, then he will lose points in His Majesty's mind.
No one does not covet Zhao Feng's position.
Many eunuchs want to make Zhao Feng look bad and lose His Majesty's trust.
Recently, Zhao Feng has spent a lot of energy to deal with this matter.
But this is the responsibility of the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In order to share His Majesty's worries, Zhao Feng has to make any sacrifices.
Only in this way can he continue to prove his value.
Originally, Zhao Feng could handle it by himself and make a scene without any merit or fault.
This time, it is already very good that he can not lose points from His Majesty.
The other eunuchs were like mad dogs that smelled meat this time, and they also clung together.
This caused Zhao Feng a lot of trouble.
But now with the addition of Li Xuan, everything seems different.
This is also the reason for his previous surprise with the chief steward Shang.
If Li Xuan asks them for something, there will be a chance for cooperation.
Before, Zhao Feng was just a messenger for Emperor Yongyuan, and more often than not, he just showed his goodwill.
But now that Li Xuan took the initiative to come to him, Zhao Feng would not be polite.
Li Xuan thought about it, and finally took on the task.
He picked up the letter on the table, then nodded to Shang Zongguan, and turned to leave.
Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng watched Li Xuan leave, but they each had their own feelings in their hearts.
"It seems that the Mengyuan Dragon Fish has made Ah Xuan a little addicted."
Shang Zongguan took out the purple clay teapot from his sleeve again and said.
Zhao Feng also nodded: "He is an ambitious cat."
"Maybe it's for Princess Ankang. I always feel that Ah Xuan has become more resolute today. I felt a little lazy before." Shang Zongguan sighed.
Whether it is Shang Zongguan or Zhao Feng, they all know very clearly how much Li Xuan cares about Princess Ankang, the little master.
If Princess Ankang is not there, I am afraid that Li Xuan will have no reason to stay in the palace.
In this regard, Zhao Feng just shook his head helplessly: "But even Doctor Xue is helpless about the princess's condition. I'm afraid no one in the world can cure it."
"But we still have time. We must find a reason for Ah Xuan to stay in our Daxing before that." Shang Zongguan said so.
The two fell silent and continued to taste tea.
Zhao Feng put away the stack of letters, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, Shang Zongguan suddenly asked: "Aren't you afraid that Ah Xuan will be naughty and throw the letter directly to Wei Chengji?"
Zhao Feng couldn't help laughing when he thought of this situation, but he didn't deny that this might happen.
"So let's try it first."
It seems that Zhao Feng also had such expectations.
"You, don't tease Ah Xuan less at ordinary times."
"It makes him angry when he sees you now, and he wants to bite you in every possible way." Shang Zongguan advised.
But Zhao Feng just laughed and said, "But it's really interesting."
Bullying the kitten and watching the kitten helpless to him brought great pleasure to Zhao Feng.
"Be careful if you really get scratched one day, I won't help you then."
Manager Shang said slowly while drinking tea.
...
The next day.
Li Xuan brought the letter he got from Zhao Feng to Yanqu Hall.
The letter was sealed with wax, so Li Xuan didn't know what was inside.
But it must be something bad.
Li Xuan didn't mean to open the letter to find out.
Although he was very curious, it was more important to complete the task.
He had to break through as soon as possible and gain more powerful strength.
But it was too difficult to break through to the physical strengthening realm.
The process of strengthening the body was not like other exercises, which could be broken through quickly by relying on his talent.
In this case, he had to use all external forces as much as possible.
Zhao Feng is the only reliable channel that Li Xuan can think of.
Even if he can't find a treasure like Mengyuan Dragon Fish, Li Xuan wants to try other treasures with similar effects.
He has tasted all the rare and exotic animals in the imperial cuisine before, but none of them has the effect of Mengyuan Dragon Fish.
But Zhao Feng is different. He is the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In theory, he is the person in charge of all the materials in the palace.
He should know better than Li Xuan what things in the palace can be used by Li Xuan.
With the help of Zhao Feng, Li Xuan can save the effort of searching for himself. He only needs to try the rare treasures that Zhao Feng found for him.
As for helping him do something, Li Xuan also accepted it.
There is no free lunch in this world except for the bait that wants to catch you.
If you can get away with eating someone else's bait, it is your ability.
But you also need to keep in mind that when you set your sights on someone else's bait, you are gambling with your own life.
Compared to that dangerous thing, Li Xuan felt that the task Zhao Feng gave him was much simpler.
Wei Chengji was the eunuch of the seal room in Yanqu Hall. He was very busy every day and it was impossible for him to stay in the room all the time.
Li Xuan came to Yanqu Hall and soon found Wei Chengji's room.
There were two eunuchs accompanying Wei Chengji guarding the door of the room.
Li Xuan was not in a hurry, but strolled around Yanqu Hall again, ready to confirm Wei Chengji's whereabouts before taking action.
He hid from people along the way, and soon saw the figure of Wei Chengji and the eunuchs patrolling with him.
Look at the time, and then look at Wei Chengji's route. Today's patrol has just begun.
Li Xuan has enough time.
He hurried back to the vicinity of Wei Chengji's room, then bypassed the sight of the two eunuchs guarding the door and climbed in through a window.
Fortunately, Wei Chengji did not have the habit of locking the window.
Entering Wei Chengji's room, Li Xuan looked around.
The furnishings in the room were rather plain, with nothing but the necessary furniture.
Li Xuan searched around and found a hidden place to hide the letter, and then left Yanqu Hall smoothly.
The whole process was extremely smooth, with almost no difficulty.
If it were someone else, it would definitely not be easy.
But Li Xuan is a cat, and being sneaky is his instinct, and this kind of thing is even easier to catch.
Li Xuan did not delay and planned to go directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to submit the task, and asked Zhao Feng to quickly prepare the task reward.
