Chapter 394 My Little Kitty Won’t Buy It!

When Li Xuan and others left, Hadir, who was sitting behind the stall, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"That old man, I can't see through him at all..."

Looking at the back of Shang, Hadir said inwardly, with lingering fear.

Hadiel can see the depth of ordinary people. After all, if they don't have a pair of bright eyes, they will die in some stinky ditch.

But facing Shang, Hadir is like staring into the abyss, and all he sees is the unknown.

This is the first time Hadir has encountered such a situation.

"Alas, this dragon pond is not easy to enter..."

Hadiel took another painting and began to identify it, but his mind was no longer here.

...

On the other side, Li Xuan and others had returned to the carriage, and this time Shang, the chief steward, also sat in.

"Ah Xuan, what do you think?"

Shang, the chief steward, asked Li Xuan first.

The ones who knew the situation best were Li Xuan and Shang Zongguan, while Princess Ankang and Yu'er were still not clear about the half treasure map.

Li Xuan's eyes turned, and he immediately swung his tail, writing indignantly:

"They are really too arrogant."

"Shang Zongguan, can our Daxing bear this?"

"I suggest that they be arrested immediately, tortured severely, and then hanged to death!"

Shang Zongguan glanced at Li Xuan, then smiled, rubbed his chin, and said seriously:

"This is a good idea."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's send the flowery eunuch to take down Hadir first!" Li Xuan wrote impatiently.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er looked left and right, not knowing what the man and the cat were talking about.

But it looked like a serious matter, so the two maids did not interrupt casually.

"Oh, that's wrong."

"I don't trust them to handle such an important matter."

Shang Zongguan said so, and then changed his tone:

"This is a serious matter, and we need to send out His Majesty's most capable spy."

When Li Xuan heard that there was an unexpected gain, he immediately showed an interested look and waited for Shang Zongguan's next words.

As a result, Shang Zongguan didn't say anything, but looked at Li Xuan with a smile.

"Ah???"

Li Xuan tilted his head.

He originally wanted to hand over this troublesome matter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and wait to enjoy the results and see what secrets are hidden in this treasure map.

Now it's good, after a detour, he has to do it himself.

"The most capable spy of Emperor Yongyuan can't be my little cat, right?"

Li Xuan spread his paws and marveled at Shang Zongguan's ability to lie with his eyes open.

Chief Steward Shang waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly:

"Why should you belittle yourself, Xuan? His Majesty recognizes your ability."

"You have completed the previous missions with ease."

"His Majesty said that you will be the top spy in the palace in the future!"

Chief Steward Shang gave Li Xuan a thumbs-up and fed him bowl after bowl of magic potion.

"Damn it, you are treating me like a child!"

Li Xuan was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. If he wanted free labor, he should have said so. He had to use such means.

"My little cat won't fall for that!"

...

At night, the wind fell and the frost fell, and thousands of leaves fell into a formation.

Autumn wind, fallen leaves, and little black cats.

Constitute the main theme of tonight.

"Aha~"

Li Xuan yawned loudly and stretched his body.

"It's getting colder and colder."

Li Xuan looked down at the passers-by who were shrinking their necks, holding their clothes, and walking like quails, and sighed.

In the end, he couldn't resist his curiosity and was willing to be drafted by Shang Zongguan.

Li Xuan stayed to investigate the Hu merchant Hadir, while Shang Zongguan took Princess Ankang and Yu'er away.

Hadir set up a stall in the West Market to collect paintings during the day, and drank and ate meat in a tavern in the West Market after the market closed. It was not until now that he showed signs of returning to his accommodation.

Li Xuan followed this guy for a day, but did not find anything unusual.

But as a cat, Li Xuan knew that hunting requires patience.

Hadir walked out of a tavern in the West Market drunkenly at this time, and Abu, who had also drunk a lot, supported him.

"Master Hadir, you are drunk, I, I will take you back."

Abu's tongue was already a little knotted.

It seems that this translation job not only can get a good salary, but also can eat and drink for free, the treatment is really good.

"I, not drunk, not drunk..."

"Abu, you don't believe me, I..."

"I, I'll show you a light skill..."

Like most people, those who are drunk always say they are not drunk, and those who are not drunk always say they are drunk.

Hadil staggered with a big thick leg, about to step on the sky, as if he was climbing an invisible staircase.

Abu was so scared that he quickly pressed down Hadir's thick legs, fearing that he would fall and hurt himself.

This was his God of Wealth, how could Abu dare to let Hadir do such a thing.

"Master, Master, is it not enough that I believe it?"

Perhaps because he was anxious, Abu's tongue was no longer tied, and his originally confused mind was blown by the cold wind and became much clearer.

"Then, Master Hadir, be careful on the road, I will come to greet you tomorrow morning."

Hadir didn't listen to what Abu said, waved his hands randomly, and went to the inn where he was staying.

Although Abu was a little worried, he turned around and walked towards home.

In his opinion, Hadir was a tough man. Even if he encountered trouble on the way back, he couldn't solve the trouble that he couldn't solve, so it was better to go back and rest early.

Abu had been setting up a noodle stall in Xishi for many years, and his home was in a small alley not far from the stall.

Although it is a home, it is just a place to lie down and sleep. There is no other space.

After all, Abu's home was just a woodshed before it was rented.

Abu's family is in his distant hometown, and he has not been back for many years.

In order to support his family, Abu worked hard to run his noodle stall alone in Beijing. He sent the money he earned back, leaving only the necessary material costs and living expenses.

After many years, Abu has grown from a young boy who came to Beijing to a vicissitudes of life uncle who runs a noodle stall.

Men in his hometown would become grandfathers at his age, but he has not even married yet.

Every year he always says that he will go back when he saves enough money, but for some reason he never saves enough money.

But recently, Abu is very happy to work as a translator for Hadir.

The work is much easier than the noodle stall, and the money earned is more.

Hadir always takes him to eat together. In the past few days, Abu has eaten a lot of things that he has not been willing to eat for so many years.

"It would be nice if there were always such good jobs."

Abu hummed a little tune happily and walked towards home.

Li Xuan just glanced at Abu's back and smiled slightly.

Abu's back made him feel familiar.

But there was something important to do at the moment, so Li Xuan didn't think about it anymore, but followed Hadir below along the eaves.

There was also a certain flow of people in the West Market at night, and there were vendors setting up night markets on the road.

But compared to the daytime, it was definitely quieter.

It can be clearly seen that the West Market is much worse at night than the East Market. Most of the restaurants and pubs have good business, and other shops are closed early.

"It seems that the nightlife still depends on the East Market Flower Street."

It was the first time that Li Xuan strolled in the West Market at night, and he felt it was quite fresh.

Hadir wandered all the way, walked through the streets and alleys, and did not avoid the dark corners, and went straight back to his residence.

But he was not troubled on the way and had no obstacles.

Even though this is the capital, the security at night is not so good.

Li Xuan was watching from above, but saw that the property transfer business was happening just across an alley.

A Hu merchant who didn't know the truth was surrounded by several gangsters in a dark corner, and they helped him clean his pockets enthusiastically.

This kind of thing can't be prevented even in the capital.

Who can guarantee that there won't be a few rats in the dark corners.

Li Xuan kept an eye on Hadir's movements while checking around.

He found that the gangsters had stripped Hu Shang naked, even his silk underwear was not spared.

This made the little cat shake his head repeatedly, and then his tail flicked a few times, and the gangsters immediately rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.

Hu Shang, who was stripped of all his clothes and could only rely on the fat on his belly to cover his shame, was immediately shocked.

But he immediately saw a few extra pebbles on the ground and understood something.

"Thank you, hero, thank you, hero..."

He raised his head and bowed repeatedly, not knowing who he was thanking, and then hurriedly snatched his belongings and clothes from the gangsters on the ground, and fled from here in a hurry. When he arrived at the busier street, he immediately attracted a burst of laughter.

Even though he was laughed at, Hu Shang, who had escaped the disaster, was relieved. He found a wall and slowly put on his clothes, and cursed those bastards who were still staring at him in his hometown dialect.

The laughter on the street seemed to have attracted Hadir's attention. He looked in the direction of the laughter with his drunken eyes.

Li Xuan lay on the eaves, blending into the night.

Hadir scratched his head, muttering something and continued on his way.

Li Xuan followed him and slowly set off again.

"Humph, you are pretending to be drunk."

Li Xuan couldn't help but say in his heart.

His previous heroic act was not purely out of idleness.

While Li Xuan used his tail to sling stones to subdue the thugs, he kept his eyes on Hadir.

Before Hadir turned around after hearing the laughter, his right ear moved obviously, just at the moment when Li Xuan launched the attack.

This subconscious reaction is the most difficult to conceal.

Especially when Hadir thought that no one was following him nearby.

Li Xuan also concluded that Hadir's vigilance at this time was not as low as it seemed.

"If you hadn't met me, your acting skills would have fooled most people."

I have to admit that Hadir's pretending was really good.

Soon, Hadir returned to the inn where he stayed.

[Adasi Inn]

Under the removable sign, there is a line of small Western characters, which is probably the name of this inn.

"It's also a bilingual sign."

Li Xuan estimated that this inn should specialize in business with Westerners.

Hadir went all the way to the upper room on the third floor, without turning on the light, and went in to lie on the bed, snoring loudly, and Li Xuan could hear it clearly from outside.

Li Xuan did not rush into Hadir's room to find out what was going on. He patiently observed outside for a while.

By now, he was sure that Hadir was 100% up to something, and it was most likely that he was after the half treasure map.

"I just don't know who this guy is working for?"

Li Xuan waited outside until midnight, and listened to Hadir's snoring for most of the night.

The snoring sometimes stopped abruptly, and there was no movement, which made Li Xuan think that Hadir was dead.

But after a while of anxiety, the snoring continued, still loud.

"Strange, I didn't notice any support nearby."

Li Xuan frowned slightly and kept patrolling around the Adasi Inn.

Even though he was concentrating, he didn't find anything worth noting.

After thinking about it, Li Xuan still planned to take action.

"Since you are so careless, don't blame me for eating the bait and spitting out the hook!"

The inner secret agent Ling Ling Miao, attack!

Li Xuan quietly moved towards the Adasi Inn and soon arrived outside Hadir's room.

He first listened quietly to the noise inside by the window for a while, and found that there was only snoring.

Li Xuan immediately and decisively used his famous skills and climbed through the window.

The furnishings in the room were quite exquisite, worthy of the name of the upper room.

Hadir's huge body was lying on the bed, and his exposed hairy chest rose and fell with the snoring.

Seeing that Hadir was sleeping soundly, Li Xuan did not go forward to disturb him and began to search the room.

There were not many furnishings in the room. In addition to a large bed and a table, the remaining furniture was only a wardrobe and a box.

The rest were small things that could not hold anything.

The box was very different from the other furnishings in the room, and it should have been brought by Hadir himself.

Li Xuan was the first to search the box.

Fortunately, the box was not locked, and Li Xuan opened it smoothly.

As a result, when the box was opened, Li Xuan smelled a special fragrance coming from inside, and his eyes blurred for a moment, and the yin and yang qi in his body slightly accelerated its operation speed.

But such abnormality soon disappeared.

"Hey, what happened just now?"

Li Xuan blinked his eyes and was in a trance for a moment.

In addition to the clothes for changing, the box was full of scrolls.

"These are the paintings that this guy collected during the day."

"Is it so much?"

Li Xuan took a rough look and was afraid that there were dozens of paintings here.

He frowned and felt a little embarrassed.

"Is there another half of the treasure map hidden in it?"

Li Xuan wanted to steal all these words, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy.

According to his meaning, he should tie up Hadir and torture him as soon as possible.

But before leaving, Shang Zongguan specifically told Li Xuan not to touch Hadir first, and to focus on finding out the news first.

It would be best to find out Hadir's true identity and origin.

"Alas, being a spy is so troublesome~"

Li Xuan sighed and was about to look through the box carefully, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

He leaned over the box and looked at the bed.

"Hey, why does the snoring sound seem to be getting faster?"
