Chapter 248: Chapter 119 Phoenix’s Gift_2

Li Zhaowen thought of the phrase "Despite being a prince or general, is one born to it?" and said:

"Li Guanyi is certainly not someone who just obediently follows orders."

"If you don’t believe it, Wuchou, you can bet with me."

Changsun Wuchou, smiling, clasped his hands and said, "I dare not."

"I also think that the young brother Li Guanyi’s youthful spirit is unlikely to be changed by a few commands from the Imperial Guard. With the temperament of a young man, he would probably be even more displeased and would want to exert his full strength."

Li Zhaowen said with a smile, "That is so."

"However, I have finished reviewing these files. Changfeng Building can now be relocated."

Changsun Wuchou’s eyes showed a hint of different color as they had arranged people at Changfeng Building to gather all sorts of news from Chen Country, and then compiled these messages for Changsun Wuchou and Li Zhaowen to find intelligence of sufficient value.

However, in espionage, the most critical aspect is relocation.

Spies must be active; inactivity means death.

Being rooted in one place without movement is sure to reveal slip-ups.

Changfeng Building had undergone its second transformation. The real internal intelligence system would move to another location, while Changfeng Building would become a purely safe industry and then laundered and sold off. The sons of the noble families would devour it voraciously like wolves eating meat. By that time, Li Zhaowen would have naturally left.

That would be safe.

Of course, it would also result in the loss of much gold and silver.

Li Zhaowen’s voice was calm:

"Aristocratic families and even many elders in the Chen Country royal family are driven by profit."

"What I see is far greater than what they pursue."

"Yes, right, when the time comes to sell off the assets, keep the owner of the building."

Changsun Wuchou was surprised when the young lady next to him raised her cup to drink, tasting a hint of a carefree intoxication like the breeze. She smiled, recalling how Li Guanyi had leaned against the black canopy boat, picking lotus seeds and drinking, complaining about not wanting to part with fifty taels of silver.

Li Zhaowen drank and said, "When the time comes, I will just give this building to Li Guanyi."

"He likes to drink, so, this building, the number one in Jiangzhou."

The young lady carelessly threw down her cup, stood with her hands behind her back, and said:

"Give it to him."

......

Li Guanyi returned to Xue Family and after discussing these matters with Elder Xue, Elder Xue laughed heartily, telling Li Guanyi that those vice ministers and the Ministry of Supervision all belonged to the Tantai Xianming faction, and that hitting them was well done!

The old man already had some burdens and couldn’t slap those fellows’ faces himself.

"You, lad, swing your arms well and hit them!"

"No worries, if they dare to come looking for trouble, this old man will step up and slap them."

Elder Xue was eager to try.

Li Guanyi couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Yet, he felt relieved. He had actually been worried about causing trouble for Elder Xue, but the elder felt it was no bother. Li Guanyi had another bowl of soup there before returning to his yard. Shaking Light was not there; he took a bath, changed into comfortable new clothes.

The Green Bird was constantly circling around him.

Having obtained a filament of Jade Liquid from Phoenix, it was absorbed by the Green Bird. Li Guanyi felt that today’s Green Bird seemed much more spirited than usual and became curious, wondering to himself, "Could it be that Dharma Forms can also change and transform?"

He gently stroked the feathers of the Green Bird.

The bird was enormous. The young man sat cross-legged, and its wings could almost enshroud the young man under its plumage. The feathers shimmered with flickers of golden fire, yet they vanished in an instant, similar to Li Zhaowen’s Dharma Form of the Phoenix Fire.

"Perhaps it is indeed so. Previously, when confronting Yuwen Lie, the White Tiger Dharma Form evolved upon returning."

Li Guanyi closed his eyes to meditate, his body filled with Jade Liquid at its peak of Perfection. Just upon triggering it, he would immediately cultivate the Red Dragon Power, backed by the "Six Void Four Union Divine Skill," and then he could truly unleash a punch that transformed through the triple changes of Red Dragon White Tiger Yin Rou Dark Force.

The Red Dragon Dharma Form appeared, humming lowly in the void, full of longing.

Li Guanyi reached out, touched the dragon’s Scale Armor, and said softly, "No rush, no rush."

"I still need this strength to deal with the Imperial Physician."

"Just a few more days, and it will be ready."

Li Guanyi planned to follow the training method of "Vast Sea Strength," letting part of the internal Red Dragon Power dissipate daily and then letting the Imperial Physician check. After a few days, gradually and in sequence, just like he cultivated "Vast Sea Strength," he would have swallowed the Red Dragon Power and could then uprightly use this Martial Arts skill.

In this matter, one has to be cautious.

The next day, Li Guanyi dealt with the Imperial Physician, and under the relieved expression of the elderly man, listened to the physician’s numerous dietary precautions before he took his Weapon back to his post at the Imperial Guard. But before he could get there, he heard a clamor of yelling and cussing.

The one shouting angrily was the Imperial Army General of the Imperial Guard.

This general, a fifth-rank officer in Armor, with vigor like a dragon, had lined up those who had fought in a brawl the previous night. Upon Li Guanyi’s arrival, he too was scolded and obediently stood in place.

The young man’s glance swept over, his lips curling slightly.

Zhou Liuying had dark circles under his eyes, Ye Buyi’s forehead was slightly swollen, and several others were grimacing while clutching their buttocks. Clearly, given the attitude of the families with Military Merit towards these young masters, a beating would have been inevitable upon their return.

The Imperial Army General scoffed, "Finally arrived?"

"Wearing a scarlet robe, gentlemen, we wear scarlet robes too. Shall I step down and you sit instead?"

Li Guanyi grimaced, knowing all too well that perhaps the Vice Minister had lodged a complaint.

Humbly, he said, "The General jests."

The Imperial Army General Gong Zhenyong laughed derisively and said, "Heh, listen to you talk. If you’re not wearing the scarlet robe, is it a White Jade belt? I’m just a mere fifth-rank, having just switched to a scarlet robe and still wearing a Rhino Horn Belt. How dare I refer to myself as a ’General’ in your presence?"
