Chapter 191 Who Is It!?
After eating the Wind Chaser Rabbit, although Zhao Feng said at the time that he would ask Li Xuan for help, there was no movement for several days.
Li Xuan guessed that either Zhao Feng did not find the good stuff, or there was no matter for Li Xuan to do.
After all, no merit, no reward, and Li Xuan would not take advantage of Zhao Feng for nothing.
But today, it seems that this old guy has some tricks again.
And seeing that he is so confident to ask Li Xuan for help, it is estimated that he has something good to show off.
Li Xuan immediately agreed and followed Zhao Feng to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After entering the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhao Feng went straight to the courtyard of Shang Zongguan.
At this time, Shang Zongguan was meditating and practicing, Zhao Feng pulled Li Xuan to sit in the courtyard as if he did not see it, and poured himself and Li Xuan a cup of tea with Shang Zongguan's teapot.
"This time is similar to the last time."
Zhao Feng drank a sip of tea and then talked about it, without any intention of hiding it from Shang Zongguan.
Li Xuan could also understand Zhao Feng's intention, asking his godfather to help him with his advice. If there was anything inappropriate, Shang Zongguan would naturally remind him.
Zhao Feng was squeezing the surplus value of his godfather every moment.
After hearing what Zhao Feng said, Li Xuan couldn't help but become interested.
Last time, he just went to Wei Chengji's room to hide a letter, which was indeed not difficult for him.
"It's just that this time you are not going to hide things, but to borrow things."
"Borrow?"
Li Xuan tilted his head in confusion.
"Do you have to return it?"
Seeing Li Xuan tilt his head, Zhao Feng immediately explained: "Bring the things first, and I will tell you in detail then."
"And I have prepared good things for you, just do it with confidence."
Zhao Feng made a promise, and then took out a map of the West Palace with detailed markings on it.
Li Xuan took the opportunity to look at the places on the map that he had not been to, and wrote down some information on it.
"Hey!"
Seeing Li Xuan looking at his map with a sly look, Zhao Feng held down the cat's head to stop him from looking blindly.
As a result, Li Xuan's pupils were fixed, staring at the corner of the map that interested him, leaving Zhao Feng with a pair of big white eyes.
"I admire you, Xuan!"
Zhao Feng had no choice but to let go of the cat's head.
It was just a map of the West Palace, and it was not a secret.
But after Zhao Feng noticed the corners of the map that Li Xuan was looking at, he reminded him faintly: "Those are not good places. If you get stuck there, my godfather and I can't save you."
"And let alone a cat, even a fly flying in will be slapped to death!"
Li Xuan was immediately startled when he heard this.
"Meow? (Really?)"
"Meow. (I'm timid, don't scare me.)"
Seeing Li Xuan's unbelieving expression, Zhao Feng just shrugged.
"Believe it or not."
"Let's get back to the point. Look carefully for me."
As he spoke, Zhao Feng drew three circles on the map and marked the target locations.
"You have to go to these three places to borrow something for me."
"As for what to borrow, it's up to you, Xuan."
Li Xuan was stunned, not understanding Zhao Feng's purpose.
"Of course, the more private the things are, the better."
"It's best if they can show their identities and only they can recognize them."
Hearing such a request, Li Xuan couldn't help but take a breath.
"Hiss——"
"It's a bit difficult."
After Zhao Feng stated his request, he patted Li Xuan on the shoulder and encouraged:
"Just do this, and leave the rest to me."
Li Xuan first lowered his head to write down the locations on the map, and then thought hard about what to get later.
"Private, can show identity, and only I know..."
Considering Zhao Feng's several requests, Li Xuan felt very embarrassed.
At this time, Zhao Feng added another request of his own.
"By the way, you don't need to bring the borrowed things to me, just send them directly to Wei Chengji's room and hide them."
Hearing this, Li Xuan's cat eyes immediately widened.
"What on earth do you want to do, old man?"
Even Shang Zongguan, who was meditating and practicing martial arts on the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes, stood up and reminded Zhao Feng:
"Don't go too far, kid."
"Godfather, you've finished your practice."
Zhao Feng greeted with a smile and quickly poured a cup of tea for Shang Zongguan.
Shang Zongguan also came to sit beside them and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"Wei Chengji will be more useful to you if he's alive. It's no good for you if he's dead."
"The people who witnessed your reconciliation are not all dead. Be careful that someone will come to settle accounts with you."
The eunuchs in the palace also have their own factions.
Although Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng's lineage is the most prosperous now.
But not all the other branches were dead. Some old men hid in various places in the palace and practiced cultivation.
Although those who competed with Zhao Feng for power and the first eunuch were gone, those forces were still there.
Under fair competition, life and death are inevitable.
But no one will kill them all.
Such a price is not worth paying.
Moreover, the royal family does not want to see one side become bigger.
No matter where you are, stability is always the top priority.
And if you want stability, you naturally need to check and balance each other.
Although Zhao Feng is now the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he has a lot of power in his hands, but in fact he is also subject to a lot of restraint.
And such restraint was also intentional by Emperor Yongyuan.
Otherwise, raising a great eunuch that you can't control yourself will be troublesome at that time.
Zhao Feng didn't take the reminder of Shang Zongguan seriously.
"Godfather, don't worry."
"I didn't want to hurt anyone's life this time, I just hope that Aji will only be close to me in the future."
"And with Aji's ability, he won't die so easily."
"That guy is very lucky."
Seeing Zhao Feng say this, Manager Shang didn't persuade him much.
He believed that his adopted son was sensible.
Unless it was a very serious matter, Manager Shang would not persuade him over and over again on one thing to avoid annoying people.
Seeing that Manager Shang had no other opinions, Zhao Feng asked Li Xuan:
"What do you think?"
"Do you accept this task?"
"Meow!"
Li Xuan nodded heavily and quickly agreed.
"Accept!"
"Why not?"
Li Xuan also wanted to see what good things Zhao Feng had prepared.
He didn't delay any longer and planned to find a place first.
Instead of thinking hard here, it's better to go on a field trip. Maybe there will be better ideas when you get there.
Before leaving, Li Xuan did not forget to confirm the location marked on the map again, and then set off from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and headed for the destination.
On the way, he was still thinking about Zhao Feng's intention.
Only by understanding the intention can Li Xuan borrow more suitable things.
Listening to Zhao Feng's tone before, it was a little more relaxed than before.
And from what he said, it seemed that he wanted to strengthen Wei Chengji's position.
Wei Chengji had to agree to rebel and help Zhao Feng because Zhao Feng caught his flaw before.
But looking at Wei Chengji's reluctant look at that time, I am afraid that he would choose to betray Zhao Feng as soon as he had the chance.
And now Zhao Feng should want to eliminate this hidden danger and let Wei Chengji firmly become his ally.
Even create a false illusion of prosperity and loss.
"Let's go and see what can be borrowed first."
Not long after, Li Xuan arrived at the first destination.
But the guards here are much stricter than Wei Chengji's Yanqu Hall.
Obviously, this is also the residence of a senior eunuch.
"Zhao Feng, this old guy is really wicked."
He stole the private belongings of a senior eunuch into the room of another senior eunuch.
If this is discovered, it is estimated that several mouths will not be able to explain.
Li Xuan seized the opportunity and climbed into the room through the window.
The furnishings here are much more exquisite than Wei Chengji's room, and it is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into it.
"It seems that these senior eunuchs are very busy during the day."
Li Xuan patrolled the empty room alone, thinking about what to borrow.
There are many valuable and exquisite things in this room, but they are all lacking in specialness.
If you go to the market to buy, I am afraid you can buy many similar things.
"Private, can show identity, and only the owner knows..."
Putting these three conditions together, it is really not easy to find a suitable thing.
Li Xuan walked around the room, finally shook his head, and began to rummage through the cabinets.
He looked around and found that the things on the surface did not meet these conditions.
"This one won't work, and that one isn't quite suitable either..."
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Li Xuan pulled out something from the closet, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"This seems to be a good choice!"
Li Xuan looked up and down at the thing in his hand. Although it was colorful, it was definitely private.
"It can show your identity, and only you know it."
"It seems that these two can also meet the requirements."
The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more it made sense. He felt that the thing in front of him was simply a perfect match for Zhao Feng's requirements.
"Okay, it's decided!"
"Just take this thing."
Li Xuan thought about it again, and didn't feel embarrassed to take the newer one, so he deliberately chose the oldest one.
He used his tail to fish it out of the closet, and then shook it twice and rolled it into a ball, entangled in his tail.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the next one."
Li Xuan had already decided what to steal. This was the most tangled problem, and the rest was a matter of course.
"Fortunately, every eunuch has this thing, which saves me the effort."
Li Xuan went to two more houses and successfully stole what he wanted.
At this time, his tail was already wrapped in a circle of colorful things, and it was very eye-catching when he walked on the road.
"We must return the things to Wei Chengji's room quickly."
Li Xuan looked at the sky and saw that the sun was about to set.
I didn't expect that it would take a whole day to steal just a few things.
"Hurry up."
Li Xuan remembered that Wei Chengji was an old man, and he liked to stay in his room after he got off work.
By then, Li Xuan would have no chance to hide anything.
He avoided people all the way and rushed to Yanqu Hall, and found that Wei Chengji had not gotten off work yet.
Li Xuan touched Wei Chengji's room with ease, and then found a secret place to hide the things.
Soon after coming out of Wei Chengji's room, Li Xuan saw Wei Chengji's figure not far away.
He looked quite happy.
I just don't know if he was happy to be assigned a task or because something good happened today.
But no matter which one it was, it had nothing to do with Li Xuan.
Li Xuan jumped off the wall, left Yanqu Hall, and went straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report the good news.
When he arrived, it was already dark, and Shang Zongguan was fiddling with his chess records again.
"I should have asked Shang Zongguan to play for me in the last Go game."
Seeing Shang Zongguan studying the chess records so seriously every day, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, Shang Zongguan raised his head and looked at him.
"Yo, Ah Xuan."
"You're so fast now."
"Meow~ (Of course~)"
Li Xuan shouted complacently.
"Feng'er is not here, I will help you pass it on."
"Come over tomorrow at noon, and I will prepare something for you then."
Shang Zongguan said with a smile.
Li Xuan nodded, and after asking for another cup of tea from Shang Zongguan, he was willing to leave.
But when Li Xuan returned to Jingyang Palace, he found that something big had happened here.
Princess Ankang was in tears at this time, wiping away tears sadly.
Yu'er kept comforting Princess Ankang, but it didn't work.
When Li Xuan saw this scene at home, he was furious.
"Who is it?"
"Who made my little princess cry!?"
Li Xuan quickly ran to Princess Ankang and Yu'er, jumped on the table and meowed anxiously, asking them what happened.
"Ah Xuan, you are finally back!"
Princess Ankang and Yu'er said at the same time, as if they had been waiting for him for a long time.
The more this happened, the more worried Li Xuan was.
"Speak!"
"Who is this bastard!"
