When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and carefully observe the red lines on the painting.

But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell that these red lines were treasure maps.

Li Xuan could vaguely see this painting, and these red lines seemed to indicate a certain place, but the problem was that it was not marked at all.

The mountains in the world that look similar to those in this painting are estimated to be 80,000 if not 100,000.

If you just hold this painting and look for a mountain with similar terrain to this top, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it for a lifetime.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the two chief managers with some confusion.

Since they were sure that it was a treasure map, they should have seen something.

Don't look at the two old stewards in front of him, it seems that they are just eunuchs who have lived in the palace all their lives, but Li Xuan knows very well that they still have the identity of a secret agent in the big interior, and they must have much more experience in this kind of thing than him.

Sure enough, seeing that Li Xuan couldn't observe the key, Zhao Feng pointed out on the side:

"Ah Xuan, at the moment, this can only be regarded as half a treasure map, and you need to gather the other half before you can deduce the real treasure place."

As he spoke, Zhao Feng clicked a few times on the painting and pointed out some key points.

Li Xuan was slightly disposed, and he immediately saw the key information on this painting.

The original painting in the middle is not moved, and the red lines baked out of the blank space on both sides are folded in half in the middle, and it suddenly becomes a detailed route through the mountains.

It's just that, as Zhao Feng said, this map only has half the information, and only includes the most subtle route in the mountains.

As for how to find the mountain in this painting, there really isn't any hint on it.

It can be seen that there is a high probability that there is also a painting that is used to indicate the specific location of the mountain.

But there are so many paintings in the world that it may not be easy to find the other half of the treasure map.

Just when Li Xuan was thinking like this, Zhao Feng on the side seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and then said quietly:

"Ah Xuan, this other half of the treasure map may not be far from us."

This time, even Li Xuan couldn't help but show a surprised gaze and looked at Zhao Feng.

"Could it be that the eunuch in Huayi has already found a clue?"

"The masked men!"

Li Xuan immediately thought of the group of masked men who intercepted and killed them on their return journey last time.

These masked people are inextricably linked to the robbery of the Ping An Trading Company, and I am afraid that the other half of the treasure map is on the benezel of the masked man.

But Li Xuan didn't expect that the eunuchs in flowery clothes would be so efficient that they had already found out to this point.

"Don't be foolish."

Manager Shang on the side suddenly taught Zhao Feng a lesson.

Seeing that the godfather had debunked himself, Zhao Feng just smiled embarrassedly.

Li Xuan blinked, a little unclear about the current situation.

"Ah Xuan, in fact, we don't have as many clues as you think."

"The people we caught last time, after being tortured, only got some information of little value."

"They don't know much, they just know what they're being told."

"But we deduced from the orders they received that their purpose was in the shipment of the Ping An Firm."

"Then we took a closer look at the goods you brought back and found this interesting painting in it."

Mr. Shang casually pointed to the landscape painting on the table.

At this time, the red lines baked by the fire folds on it were slowly disappearing, and it didn't take long for them to return to their original appearance.

"These red lines only appear after they are baked by the fire, and as the temperature slowly decreases, the red lines disappear."

Mr. Shang explained.

"As for saying that this is a treasure map, it's just a random conjecture of the two of us, if you want to confirm it, you must find the other half."

"But whether the other half is still alive or not is actually two theories."

"Perhaps, the other goods that have been with Ping An Trading House for a long time have been burned to ashes."

"Of course, we naturally want the other half of the treasure map to be in each other's hands."

When Li Xuan heard this, he also nodded.

What kind of treasure is buried in this complete treasure map, Li Xuan is also curious.

"I will send someone to continue to investigate this matter, and I will inform you of the results when I have them."

"I asked you to look at this half of the treasure map today, and I also want to tell you that your previous rescue of the goods has done us a great favor."

"With this half of the treasure map, it may not be difficult to fish out the other party."

Mr. Shang smiled slightly, his eyes flashing.

Li Xuan shook his head and had to mourn for the other party.

was remembered by Mr. Shang, and it was difficult for these people to have a good end.

Li Xuan also didn't expect that a casual move he made at that time would help save such a clue.

"So I've made a great achievement, right?"

Li Xuan immediately raised his eyes to look at the two chief managers, his eyes blinked quickly, and the implication was already very obvious.

"Haha, Ah Xuan, don't worry."

"How's that?"

"When the treasure in the treasure map is dug up, we have to count you too, right?"

"When the time comes, I will report to Your Majesty, and I will definitely take credit for you."

"Even if the things buried in the treasure map are not very good, I will definitely let His Majesty reward you well."

"That's fine, right?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but pout, although Manager Shang's words were suspected of making empty checks, but now it had to be like this.

After all, the value of this treasure map cannot be distinguished now, and it is difficult to determine Li Xuan's credit.

When the box is opened and the value of the treasure is determined, it is indeed not too late to talk about the reward for meritorious deeds.

Seeing that Li Xuan agreed to his proposal, Manager Shang also smiled happily.

"That's right, Ah Xuan."

"It's almost the Imperial Garden match, have you been ready lately?"

"How is Your Highness's health now?"

Li Xuan's heart tightened, this was the second time that Manager Shang had mentioned this month's Imperial Garden Competition to him.

"It seems that this month's competition is unusual."

Li Xuan thought in his heart.

He immediately approached the side of Mr. Shang, and wrote on the back of his hand with his tail:

"Ankang's body has been treated by Imperial Doctor Xue, but it is much better than before, and he can walk on the ground."

"It's just this month's competition, Mr. Shang, how do you think we should prepare?"

Li Xuan looked at Mr. Shang with a thief's gaze, trying to steal some questions from him.

But Mr. Shang is not so good at fooling.

"Oh, it's really a joy that Your Highness can walk on the ground."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

Mr. Shang nodded again and again, and kept muttering:

"Such a big event, you have to eat something good and celebrate."

Manager Shang, who mentioned the stubble first, suddenly said that he didn't talk about the Imperial Garden Competition.

Moreover, the three little ones in Jingyang Palace now eat imperial food every day, how good can it be?

"Huh, wait."

"Eat some good ......"

Li Xuan was thoughtful.

Zhao Feng, who had originally talked the most, closed his mouth tightly at this time, carefully studying the landscape paintings on the table, as if he could see the other half of the treasure map when he looked at it like this.

Li Xuan asked again several times, but Manager Shang still repeated those words, congratulations to Princess Ankang.

"It's not the New Year's Day!"

Li Xuan left the Internal Affairs Office indignantly under the eyes of the two governors.

……

After a few days, it was the day of the gathering in the Imperial Garden.

This month, Zhao Feng didn't mention going to the Thousand Stars Pavilion, it seems that he planned to arrange it after the competition in the Imperial Garden.

As usual, in the huge imperial garden, almost all the harem nobles are gathered.

Li Xuan looked around and saw that the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Princess, who didn't appear much on weekdays, had also come.

It seems that it was the last time they left the palace, and they all tasted the sweetness.

The five princes were still as lonely as before, standing alone outside the crowd, and no one cared.

It's just that Li Xuan found that his gaze was occasionally biased towards Princess Ankang, and his eyes were always full of complicated colors, and he didn't know what it meant.

As for the Seven Imperial Maidens, she was maverick in the same way as before, still lying on her stretcher, and at this time, regardless of how lively the imperial garden was, she was sleeping endlessly, making people look at it, and she was as eye-catching as she wanted.

"This Li Simian is really insomnia, I went to see the stars again last night?"

Li Xuan couldn't understand what kind of charm the stars in the sky had, so that the Seven Princesses couldn't get enough of it.

The more he got to know these princes and princesses, the more he found that there were not so many people who were very attached to the throne.

It is estimated that this Imperial Garden competition will not be able to achieve the same effect as Emperor Yongyuan expected.

But Li Xuan thought again, even if Emperor Yongyuan didn't care much about his children, he should know about them in the future.

Maybe Emperor Yongyuan didn't pay much attention to the game in this imperial garden at the beginning.

Everyone was bored waiting for Zhao Fenglai to announce the rules of today's game.

And today, Zhao Feng pinched the point again, and arrived at the Imperial Garden at the last moment with the eunuchs in flower-clothed clothes.

He walked straight up to the stage and announced the program for the month.

"Your Highnesses, this month's event is ......"

Zhao Feng habitually paused slightly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Aki Hunt!"

Hearing these two words, many people among the princes and princesses suddenly had their eyes shining, and their faces were full of confidence.

"It's been a few months, and it's finally a serious competition!"

This is the truest thought in their hearts at this moment.

"Five days later, the autumn hunt will be held in the Forbidden Garden, and each highness can bring one attendant and one hunting beast."

"Attendants are not allowed to participate in hunting, but can only assist logistics and organize and carry prey."

"Hunting animals must pass the inspection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, require well-trained, prohibit orders, and must not risk losing control and injuring people."

"Any violation will result in disqualification."

"The following are the rules and regulations of this competition......

Then, Zhao Feng read out the rules of the autumn hunting competition one by one.

There are even two rules that will be disqualified if you violate even one, and there are quite a few rules, twenty of them.

After Zhao Feng read all the rules, a eunuch in a flower-clothed suit immediately sent a list of rules and preparations for each prince and princess.

The rules of the game were the same as those that Zhao Feng had read earlier.

As for the preparations, it was a bit of a hassle.

Horses, hunting bows, hunting suits, and some wild camping utensils are very complicated.

Of course, these are only recommendations from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not mandatory rules for participating in the competition.

If someone enters the Forbidden Garden empty-handed and walks to participate in this hunting competition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not stop it, but it is not recommended.

Because, according to Zhao Feng's introduction, the Royal Forbidden Garden covers an extremely vast area, just north of the imperial city, in addition to all kinds of rare beasts, there are also a large number of ordinary prey naturally breeding.

If you want to spin around on two legs alone, you probably won't even be able to catch up with next month's Imperial Garden race.

This can't help but give the three little ones a headache, because there are a lot of things on the preparation list, and they don't have them at all.

Horses, hunting bows, hunting suits, none of that.

As for the things used for camping, they can be put together in the materials in Jingyang Palace, and they can still deal with it.

After Zhao Feng conveyed the rules and content of this competition, he saluted and left the Imperial Garden, as if he still had something to do.

At this time, the Imperial Garden also became noisy.

There are people who like to hunt on weekdays, and they are full of confidence in this competition and are determined to win.

There are also those who have never hunted at all, and they seem worried and listless.

"Ah Xuan, what should we do?"

"We don't have horses to ride, and when the time comes, we will enter the Forbidden Garden......"

Princess Ankang sat in a wheelchair, stroking Li Xuan's fur, and her tone was pitiful.

"Ah Xuan, can I ride you then?"

"Meow woo!"

Li Xuan couldn't wait to give this naughty girl a meow punch, and even hit him on the head with the idea, wanting to be a meow knight.

Li Xuan has the strength to carry Princess Ankang, but with his small body, if Princess Ankang rides on it, she can't run half a mile, and Princess Ankang's skirt will be worn out.

Today, Li Xuan originally wanted her not to use a wheelchair and walk to the Imperial Garden.

Originally, Princess Ankang's wheelchair was already uncomfortable, but now she has the opportunity to walk in front of everyone, but it made the girl hesitate, and when she went out, she asked Yu'er to push the wheelchair out.

Li Xuan didn't fail to understand Princess Ankang's mood.

She must have been a little scared of other people's eyes.

After Princess Ankang was able to stand up and walk, even Li Xuan was a little unimaginable to imagine how these people present would react at that time.

But it's a step they have to take.

Princess Ankang always has to overcome these difficulties.

But Li Xuan would not force Princess Ankang, he would rather choose to wait for Princess Ankang to take that step by herself.

At this time, the Eighth Prince came over from a distance.

"Ankang, you haven't hunted yet, have you?"

"Can you prepare all the things on this? Do you need me to borrow you? ”

"I have a couple of good horses there."

The Eighth Prince walked over slowly, but it brought good news.

This guy has always liked flying eagles and dogs, and he is also very keen on hunting.

He wasn't short of money, so everything he needed for hunting was the best.

Among these princes who practice martial arts, hunting is considered a relatively mainstream entertainment.

Even the eldest prince raised a lot of well-trained hunting dogs, and he was very famous in the palace.

The three little ones were having a headache, and someone handed them a pillow when they were really sleepy.

Princess Ankang was about to thank the Eighth Prince, when suddenly a rough voice sounded in their ears:

"She doesn't have a horse, do you have a horse to borrow her?"

Thank you for your monthly ticket support.

I was in a bad mood and didn't get ten thousand days.

Go to bed!
