Chapter 318: Schemes
The Great Li imperial capital, outside the Tianjin Guards headquarters, was at that moment extraordinarily lively.
The entire street in front of the gate was packed with ornate carriages and sedan chairs, and a dense crowd of finely dressed officials and nobles had gathered along the road, creating a considerable bottleneck.
Li Musheng moved silently through the air, swept a look over the crowd below, and furrowed his brow slightly.
Even so, he did not particularly concern himself with it, and simply entered the compound, heading back toward his personal courtyard.
But before he could step inside, he suddenly stopped, his attention caught by the enormous collection of gifts of every kind piled before the courtyard entrance.
Among those gifts, the big black cat was padding about slowly, conducting a thorough inspection of the items, every one of which was of considerable value. Its green eyes had narrowed to crescent slits.
As this was happening, the big black cat came to a wooden box, rubbed its paws together, and opened it.
A flood of golden light immediately washed over the cat's face, and it reached a paw inside to stroke the box full of gold, the whole cat going somewhat glazed.
After feeling the gold for a while, the big black cat reluctantly closed the box, then prepared to go and see the next treasure.
