Dugong

Chapter 29 No choice
Couple.

Li Ping'an often heard people talk about it, but had never seen it in person.

"It's a good time to try out my newfound Qinggong skills. How close can I get before I'm discovered?"

Thinking of this, he flashed into the cave like a ghost. A moment later, Xiao Junzi rushed out with disheveled clothes, and fled in a hurry using his lightness skills.

Then a palace maid named Xiao'e cautiously stuck her head out, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then quickly left.

Li Ping'an's figure slowly emerged at the entrance of the cave: "Even with the dim light inside the cave, if you step within half a meter, it will still arouse vigilance."

The higher your martial arts skills, the sharper your perception.

According to legend, the peerless masters who have opened up the Ren and Du meridians and connected the bridge between heaven and earth will have their five senses extremely sharp.

If there are no feathers on your body, flies and insects will not land on you; if there is no autumn wind, the cicadas will feel it first. Not to mention a close attack, even if someone just stares at you, you will feel something.

"If you really meet a master of that level, I think kowtow is more useful than true qi."

Li Ping'an circulated his true energy, his footsteps changed continuously, and his whole body turned into a shadow, following behind Xiao'e.

After turning several times and passing through several palace walls, we arrived at a remote hut.

Xiao'e opened the door skillfully, looked back vigilantly, and immediately closed the door after entering the room.

Li Ping'an hung upside down in the shadow of the eaves, like a sleeping bat. His true energy circulated to his ears, and he could clearly hear the conversation inside the house.

"That guy is very tight-lipped and refuses to tell us anything."

"I will continue to inquire. At worst, he will take advantage of me. You can't blame me!"

"Eunuch Sun runs the Imperial Kitchen like an iron barrel. He can only employ a few insignificant minions and cannot obtain any key evidence."

"Please find out more about this. I will transfer you to Zhaoyang Palace to work..."

As the two of them talked, they began to undress and become passionate.

Li Ping'an, who was outside the house, narrowed his eyes slightly. He was originally just curious about the palace maid's identity, but unexpectedly he discovered such a secret.

"Xiao Junzi, Xiao Junzi, it's not that we want to harm you, you are really seeking your own death!"

Even if Xiao Junzi knew the seriousness of the matter and kept his mouth shut, his godfather would never let him off easily for having any connection with Zhaoyang Palace, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Compared with Xiao Luzi, traitors are more hateful than enemies!
"We can't speak directly about this. We need to ask others to report it. The Imperial Kitchen is full of eunuchs who want to make achievements and seek advancement..."

Li Ping'an initially planned to reveal the news to Xiao Huizi. With this merit, he would be able to formally worship Eunuch Sun as his godfather, so that they could work together in the future.

However, upon closer thought, Eunuch Sun hated most the godsons forming cliques.

Not only will she not get any benefits, but her godfather will also become suspicious and Xiao Huizi will have a handle on her.

"Not good, not right!"

Li Ping'an leaped up and disappeared into the night in an instant, leaving behind only a series of strange cries like a night owl.

After finishing my shift, I returned to my residence.

When I walked in, I saw Xiao Chunzi and Xiao Liuzi surrounding Xiao Zhenzi and flattering him. Their flattery was rather blatant and their praise was rather crude, but it was a big improvement compared to when they first came in, when they were timid and silent.

In the palace, the environment will force you to change, and even mice have to learn to greet cats.

Li Pingan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What good job did Eunuch Zhen get?"

A few days ago, Xiao Zhenzi completed his six-month training and went to the Internal Affairs Office's duty room to test his palm power. Adhering to the principle of neither standing out nor falling behind, he achieved a score of 1.6 points.

Without waiting for Xiao Zhenzi to answer, Xiao Chunzi said enviously, "Eunuch Zhen has been assigned to the Metropolitan Prison."

"congratulations."

Li Pingan bowed and said, "With Eunuch Yuan's care, the Chief Supervisor will definitely have a good job. Who knows, he might even catch the eye of His Majesty one day."

Xiao Zhenzi suppressed his joy and bowed, saying, "Thanks to Eunuch An for his support."

Li Pingan helped him up and said sternly, "From now on, we will be the same. Some things are hard to say, so today I will give you one last word."

Xiao Zhenzi said seriously, "Please give me some advice." Li Ping'an said, "When it comes to serving people, our family can't compare to you, but in the palace, it's not enough to just serve people, you also have to be able to cruelly harm them."

Xiao Chunzi and Xiao Liuzi, who were standing by, suddenly felt a chill. They were so scared that they bent down and applied the rules they had learned during the day.

Xiao Zhenzi hesitated and said, "Can't you just not hurt others?"

Li Pingan shook his head and said, "At best, I will not harm others unless they harm me. If you really want to be a good person, you might as well hit your head against the wall and commit suicide now to save yourself from trouble in the future."

"We understand."

Xiao Zhenzi paused and said, "Eunuch An, why are you saying such unpleasant things to us?"

Li Pingan shrugged: "Indeed, we are just strangers. We should congratulate you. Just consider it as your reward for using the foot washing water for so long."

Xiao Zhenzi smiled and said, "If you need it, Eunuch An, we will get you some footbath water later."

"I can't afford it!"

Li Ping'an waved his hand and lay down with his clothes on.

……

This day.

In the main room.

Xiao Junzi's body lay on the ground, his neck twisted at a strange angle.

Eunuch Sun especially likes to pinch the neck when killing people. It is rumored that this is due to his practice of some unique palm technique.

Li Ping'an thought, I have to think of a way to kill people. When I become an official in the future and recruit some followers, I can use them as an example to scare anyone who dares to disobey me.

Killing is not to punish the dead, but to intimidate and suppress the living!
Eunuch Sun glanced coldly at his adopted sons and asked sinisterly, "What's the matter? Seeing how powerful they are, are you all so anxious to switch sides?"

Xiao Luzi and the others were so frightened that they shook their heads and remained silent.

Eunuch Sun struck out with his palms one after another, sending Xiao Luzi and the others flying two or three feet away. They hit the wall hard and fell down, spitting blood from their mouths.

Seeing that his godfather was about to explode, Li Pingan quickly tried to dissuade him: "Godfather, Xiao Junzi has always been loyal, and he may not really have two hearts."

"Our family knows he doesn't have it now."

Eunuch Sun said coldly, "But the couple of palace maids won't be able to get any information out of him. They will definitely use their status to threaten and force him. Then this kid will definitely betray me."

Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows. His godfather never explained when he killed someone. He just killed him. What's more, Xiao Junzi betrayed him first.

Today's behavior is so abnormal, and there is a hint of weakness inside.

"Get out of here."

Eunuch Sun shouted harshly, and Xiao Luzi and others, who were lying on the ground wailing, crawled away, fearing that they would follow in Xiao Junzi's footsteps.

Li Pingan asked, "Godfather, what happened?"

"Ugh……"

Eunuch Sun sighed, his straight back suddenly slumping. "Last night, the ancestor summoned him to discuss matters, but Admiral Leng of the Imperial Stables didn't show up. He used the excuse of treating the Imperial Stables."

Li Pingan immediately understood: "So Admiral Leng has defected to that side?"

Eunuch Sun screamed and cursed: "Without the support of Zhaoyang Palace, how dare an old beast who raises horses disobey the ancestors?"

Li Pingan then understood that his godfather was being so cruel and ruthless today in order to intimidate his subordinates.

There are no secrets in the palace. The news of Admiral Leng's blatant disobedience will spread quickly. The ancestor has lost the power of three supervisors in a row, and the people under him are bound to be uneasy.

"Godfather, I'm going to ask you a question. Have you ever considered... other options?"

There is no such thing as loyalty in the eyes of eunuchs. Everyone is just after profit. Li Ping'an doesn't believe that his godfather is a loyal minister among millions and is a fool.

People like this won’t live long, let alone become officials!
