Chapter 153 Rat Infestation
If Huang Feng came to the Yao Ji Division to register by himself, it would be very difficult, but with Li Motang around, things would be much simpler.
Soon, Huang Feng got two small copper tags and hung them around Ruisui and Xiangnian's necks. This would be their identity certificates from now on.
The two little demon girls looked at the tags and wanted to take them off their necks. They didn't seem to like them very much.
"Maybe they think they are too cheap." Huang Feng looked at Li Motang and asked, "Can I change them to jade ones?"
"No!" Li Motang said, staring at him, "Are you rich now?"
"No, no." Huang Feng quickly denied it and tried to change the subject, "Did you show the handwriting of Senior Zhuge to His Majesty?"
"Yes." Li Motang nodded.
"What did His Majesty say?"
Li Motang said, "It needs to be considered. After all, it is not something that can be decided on a whim."
The answer was expected.
Huang Feng took the two little demon girls on the carriage and prepared to return home.
On the road, two little demon girls kept looking out of the window. It was dusk, and it was time for people to close their stalls and go home. The streets were bustling.
Huang Feng used a little of his consciousness to listen to the gossips of the people around him. He heard a lot of complaints along the way. Some said that rats had stolen half a pound of rice from their homes today, while others had eaten an ear of corn yesterday.
After a while, he looked a little strange and asked, "Is the rat infestation in the capital serious?"
Li Motang nodded, "It has been the case in recent years, and it is difficult to eradicate."
Huang Feng touched Xiangnian's cat ears and asked, "If we encounter rats, we will leave it to you. Is there any problem?"
Xiangnian tilted his head and hid to the side, as if he was disgusted with the rough work of catching rats.
"Why do you dislike everything?" Huang Feng asked.
Li Motang suddenly said, "Our home? My mansion, when did it become your home? Be careful or I'll kick you out!"
"Is that so..." Huang Feng looked at her, turned to Ruisui and Xiangnian and said, "It seems like we're going to be kicked out of our home."
"I didn't!" Li Motang said angrily.
"That's good." Huang Feng nodded.
Li Motang: "You..."
Xiao Nuan was secretly surprised, feeling that the young lady was being controlled.
After returning to the mansion and getting off the carriage, Huang Feng found that Li Motang had followed him and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"I'm staying here tonight."
"Is it inappropriate?"
"This is my mansion, what's inappropriate about it." Li Motang glanced at him, hugged Ruisui and Xiangnian, and snorted, "I'm worried that you'll do something beastly to them!"
"How is that possible." Huang Feng said righteously, "At most, I'll hug them to sleep."
Swish!
Li Motang's sword sprang out of the sheath.
This time, Xiao Nuan did not stop him. She was busy glaring at Rui Sui and Xiang Nian. They both thought each other was an enemy!
At this moment, Xiang Nian suddenly turned his head and looked at the corner of the wall outside the mansion, then jumped out of Li Mo Tang's arms and pounced over there.
Huang Feng and Li Mo Tang looked over and found a mouse lying in the corner.
"You were disgusted just now, but now you really want it? Don't catch it, it's so dirty." Before Huang Feng finished speaking, Xiang Nian suddenly showed his true form, grabbed the mouse's forehead with one claw, and then grabbed it hard, as if the target was not the mouse, but something else.
At this moment, Huang Feng sensed a trace of subtle demonic energy, which was crushed by the cat's claws.
Xiang Nian did not pounce on this mouse, but the demonic energy on the mouse.
"Did you notice it?" Huang Feng turned his head and asked.
"Hmm." Li Motang frowned, "How could there be a demonic aura on this mouse."
"Whose demon did it get from?"
Li Motang shook his head: "Impossible, if it was accidentally contaminated, this mouse can't bear it at all."
At this time, Xiangnian had transformed into a human form again, and ran to Huang Feng in small steps, looking up: "Master Lust."
"Well done." Huang Feng smiled and touched her head again.
Xiangnian seemed to enjoy such praise and ran away: "Master Lust, there is more."
There is more?
Huang Feng and Li Motang looked at each other and followed Xiangnian.
After a while, Xiangnian caught three more mice with demonic aura in the corners of the surrounding mansions.
One may be an accident, but if there are four or even more...
"Is there someone deliberately creating a rat infestation in the capital?" Li Motang thought carefully and quickly shook his head, "No, it's not creating a rat infestation, but taking advantage of it."
Huang Feng followed her train of thought: "If they were taking advantage of it, they wouldn't let these rats help to cause damage or steal food. The biggest possibility is to get information and pass on intelligence?"
Li Motang nodded: "These rats are omnipresent, and it's no pity if they die. As long as we master the means to control these rats, it will be fine.
From the demonic aura just now, should someone have raised a demon? I want to verify it again, take them and go with me."
"Yes." Huang Feng nodded and said to Xiangnian, "Let's go."
Xiangnian wanted to climb on him when he heard it.
Huang Feng dodged quickly: "You just caught a mouse."
Xiangnian was stunned for a moment, her mouth drooped, revealing an aggrieved expression.
But this expression soon turned into anger, and she kicked her legs and threw herself on him, as if she would not give up unless Huang Feng held her.
"I'm afraid of you." Huang Feng hugged Xiangnian in his arms.
After getting what he wanted, Xiangnian looked at Ruisui who had been hiding in Huang Feng's other arm, and wanted to bite her.
"I told you not to fight." Huang Feng separated them.
Xiao Nuan watched from the side, full of envy in her heart. If there was still room, she would also like to squeeze in.
In order to verify their guess, Li Motang and Huang Feng went to Lu's house first.
The Lu family naturally welcomed them, but Lu Kun was almost slapped when he opened his mouth: "Hey, you have a child so soon?"
After saying this, he even broke out in a cold sweat. The person in front of him was the princess, and he would be slapped in the face for making such a joke, and that was still a light punishment.
Li Motang was thinking about the mice, so he ignored him and took Xiangnian around. Sure enough, he caught two mice with evil spirits in the mansion.
Lu Yao, who came after hearing the news, was shocked. There was more than one cultivator in the Lu family. Lu Shouyan was the Minister of the Dali Temple, and there were many cultivators in the Return to Void Realm protecting him, but no one in the Lu family had discovered any clues for so long.
Looking at Xiangnian who was trying to win him the credit, Huang Feng sighed, "I hope you and Ruisui can bring me good fortune, not trouble you!"
Originally he was still asking for praise, but Xiangnian scratched Huang Feng when he heard it, but he didn't show his claws, and his soft and tender hands waved around, which made people feel cute.
Huang Feng was in a good mood. This unexpected discovery did not make him very irritated, after all, it had little to do with him.
Li Motang was different. She had basically made a judgment that someone was raising monsters and using rats to monitor the movements in the capital.
