Chapter 166: Exposed

Li Xuan left Yanqu Hall to look for Pangju.

He looked around but couldn't see Pangju.

But Pangju's scent was still lingering nearby, so Li Xuan followed the scent and went to find Pangju.

After leaving Yanqu Hall and walking for a long time, he came to a courtyard in the harem where few people visited.

Looking around, Li Xuan found that it was the same old place he had been to before.

This is the Shijianyuan, a residence specially arranged for the young eunuchs who had just entered the palace.

This courtyard happened to be where Deng Weixian had lived before.

It was empty at this time, and it seemed that no one lived there.

As soon as Li Xuan arrived here, he heard a cat's cry, and then Pangju's chubby head poked out from the dense branches.

Li Xuan responded and jumped onto the tree with him.

After finding a comfortable place to lie down next to Pangju, Li Xuan saw Pangju pointing to the location of a room.

"Meow. (They all hid inside.)"

Pangju meowed.

Li Xuan looked in the direction of the room pointed out by Fat Ju, and found that it was quiet and there was no movement.

But Fat Ju was definitely not wrong, and Li Xuan also smelled a strong smell of blood.

He remembered that a black-clothed eunuch had been scratched on the leg by Deng Weixian, and the injury was quite scary.

If I guessed correctly, the bloody smell should have come from this person's wound.

"Have you prepared even the hiding place?"

"It seems that they are really well prepared today."

"I just don't know who their master is."

Li Xuan also found that most of the black-clothed eunuchs have cultivation, but the cultivation span is very large.

For example, the strength of these people in front of him is mostly between the ninth and eighth ranks.

But the black-clothed eunuchs of Tingyun Palace are not weaker than the flower-clothed eunuchs in terms of aura, and even better.

It seems that these black-clothed eunuchs are the most unpredictable group of people.

Looking at the current movement, I am afraid it will take a long time.

Li Xuan ordered Fat Ju to inform Mao Ba and Niuniu to keep an eye on Deng Weixian and come here to inform him if there is any situation.

Fat Ju took the order and left, while Li Xuan waited here patiently.

Some of them were seriously injured, so they must find medicine and doctors, and it is impossible for them to hide inside all the time.

Fat Ju went there not long after he finished his work and came back, and kept watch on the tree with Li Xuan.

Li Xuan stayed here for a while and found that the Shijianyuan seemed to be much quieter than before.

It seems that the palace also has time to accept new eunuchs into the palace.

There should be a special quarter every year for purification and training.

Now think about it, Deng Weixian seems to have started working after the beginning of spring.

Then his purification should have been done in autumn and winter.

"There are so many things to pay attention to in the palace."

Li Xuan shook his head.

But this has left a lot of space in the huge Shijianyuan.

Especially the rooms specially used for the training eunuchs in white clothes, which were vacant.

Just for these eunuchs in black clothes to hide.

But Li Xuan also felt strange. These eunuchs who could be promoted to black clothes should have masters.

Wouldn't it be more convenient to hide in their own master's territory?

Why go to this place to hide in the Shijianyuan instead of near?

When it was dark, there was finally new movement in the yard.

A figure came here and knocked on the door of the room where the eunuchs in black clothes were hiding.

The knocking sound had a special rhythm, and it was obvious that a secret code had been agreed upon beforehand.

This person was wearing a cloak and a hood, and his face could not be seen.

But Li Xuan smelled a faint smell of tea.

People's usual means of concealing their appearance and identity were not so useful in front of Li Xuan's nose.

Li Xuan immediately recognized that the person in front of him was Shang Zongguan.

"Why is it him!?"

Li Xuan was also very surprised. He never thought that it would be Shang Zongguan who was behind the group of black-clothed eunuchs.

The door was quickly opened, and Shang Zongguan walked in directly.

Then there was the sound of conversation in the room, but the people inside deliberately lowered their voices, which made Li Xuan hear it a little unreal.

He immediately asked Fatty Orange to wait where he was, and he approached the room stealthily.

Now, Li Xuan's control over his body has improved a lot, and he has to thank Zhao Feng for his help recently.

He approached the window silently without attracting the attention of the people inside.

"Is he okay?"

Shang Zongguan's voice came.

"General Manager, his injury has stopped bleeding temporarily, but he still needs to find a place to treat him as soon as possible, otherwise this leg..."

A rough voice answered.

Listening to this voice, it sounds a bit like the burly black-clothed eunuch before.

"Well, don't worry, I will send you out to hide for a while as soon as possible." Shang Zongguan comforted them.

"Thank you, butler."

The rough voice thanked him first, and then continued to report: "That kid is indeed wrong. He has cultivation, and the moves he used before should be the routine of the Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw."

"Also, please look, General Manager."

Look? What are you looking at!

Li Xuan couldn't see it, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

But their voices continued to sound: "This is clearly a wound caused by the ability of the Ice Breath, and the attainment of the Ice Breath is not low."

"That kid is decisive in killing, and can even be regarded as a desperate man. I'm afraid there must be a big secret on him, otherwise he wouldn't be so cruel."

After the rough voice said this, it fell silent, as if waiting for General Manager Shang to make his own decision.

"Interesting, interesting..."

General Manager Shang just muttered to himself and didn't say much.

"You did a good job today. Someone will come to pick you up from the palace in half an hour. Stay out for a few months and come back then. I guarantee you will have no worries."

"Thank you, General Manager!"

The voice in the room stopped abruptly.

Li Xuan also quickly hid back in the tree.

Not long after, Shang, the chief steward, came out of the room and left.

"I didn't expect that it was Shang, the chief steward, who arranged this."

"It seems that he was trying to test Deng Weixian."

"Now not only has Deng Weixian's martial arts been exposed, but even his routines have been figured out."

"In this case, I'm afraid that the identity of Deng Weixian's godfather can no longer be hidden from Shang, the chief steward."

Li Xuan's eyes followed him around, feeling a little bad.

If Shang, the chief steward, was watching, I'm afraid that what Deng Weixian had done before could no longer be concealed.

"I just don't know what Shang, the chief steward, thinks of Deng Weixian's godfather."

To be honest, Li Xuan had always thought that the real identity of Deng Weixian's godfather was Zhao Feng.

But recently, I felt something was wrong.

Deng Weixian's previous leak of the questions to Feng Zhaoyuan had caused Zhao Feng a lot of trouble.

In order to deal with those eunuchs who took the opportunity to make trouble, Zhao Feng was also a little overwhelmed.

And Li Xuan didn't see any benefit in it.

Of course, it may be that he didn't know enough information and couldn't see the key benefit.

But now that Shang Zongguan also knows some details about Deng Weixian, I'm afraid he will know more about this matter.

At that time, Li Xuan can guess by looking at the reactions of Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng.

Judging from Shang Zongguan's reaction now, he should be unaware of Deng Weixian.

Otherwise, there is no need to go to such great lengths to test.

"Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't seen Deng Weixian's godfather for some time."

Li Xuan recalled that it seemed that Deng Weixian's godfather had never appeared again after he arranged a task for Deng Weixian and gave him silk cloth last time.

It was also because Deng Weixian's godfather appeared less and less frequently that Deng Weixian's progress in cultivation slowed down day by day.

He hasn't practiced the copper head and iron arm to perfection yet.

It's even more far away from the strengthening body realm.

Of course, Deng Weixian's progress is already very fast compared to others.

Half an hour later, someone really came to take away these eunuchs in black clothes.

They were hidden in some carriages filled with sundries, and each person was hidden in a sealed box.

Shang Zongguan was still reliable and did not break his promise.

Seeing that everyone here had evacuated, Li Xuan and Fatty Ju also left.

He asked Fatty Ju to go back and rest first, and he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take a look.

Shang Zongguan's yard was dark and no one was seen.

I don't know whether Shang Zongguan was asleep or not.

Li Xuan was also tired for a day, so he yawned and prepared to go home to sleep.

"I don't know if little Dengzi can survive this."

Although Deng Weixian is the victim now, facing the interests of the people hiding behind the scenes, I am afraid he is also a little bit unprotected.

Since Deng Weixian worshipped his godfather and learned martial arts, this day will come sooner or later.

He got the practice resources that other young eunuchs could not get, so he naturally had to take corresponding risks.

Now that the risk is about to explode, it depends on whether Deng Weixian can hold on.

Li Xuan felt that his mind was confused and hot all day.

"Oh, I don't want to think about it anymore, let's sleep first."

...

The next morning.

Li Xuan came to Yanqu Hall and went straight to Deng Weixian's courtyard to see if he woke up.

As a result, before he saw Deng Weixian, he saw Wei Chengji and Zhao Feng confronting each other.

"Enemies meet again on a narrow road."

Li Xuan stopped and planned to see what was going on between the two.

"I don't need you, General Manager Zhao, to come to Yanqu Hall for the matter, right?"

Compared with the previous respectfulness, Wei Chengji's attitude now became tough.

"This matter is serious, and I have to intervene."

"Aji, don't think too much, I'm just following the procedure."

Zhao Feng said with a smile.

"It's just a few eunuchs who had a conflict, and you, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, have to intervene. Isn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs too broad now?"

Wei Chengji said sarcastically.

"Really? But why did I hear it was an assassination?"

Zhao Feng was puzzled.

Wei Chengji's eyes jumped when he heard these two words.

"Don't talk nonsense, how can a eunuch who was beaten be called an assassination now?"

"Zhao Feng, don't forget your identity, don't do anything that makes other eunuchs laugh."

"You're not just losing your face."

Wei Chengji brought up other eunuchs to suppress Zhao Feng.

In recent times, their conflicts have been on the table.

But with so many eunuchs, Zhao Feng always targets himself.

Wei Chengji also has his own temper.

He compromised and admitted his weakness in front of Zhao Feng, but what he got in return was even more harsh targeting.

In the past, he really had no choice.

In order to take care of his old age, he just had to endure it.

But Zhao Feng made a stupid mistake before, which gave Wei Chengji a legitimate opportunity to fight back.

He naturally joined forces with other eunuchs, but Zhao Feng's counterattack was only the most fierce against him.

Wei Chengji was also forced to do nothing.

If he can't get back some ground, his descendants will have more ideas when they see that he is weak and powerless.

Now, Wei Chengji urgently needs to get back a ground.

Even if he can't get any good, he has to make Zhao Feng suffer.

Thank you all for your monthly ticket support.

I'm a little stuck and the update is slow. Sorry.
