Chapter 243 Going down the mountain
Sen Ying raised her hand to touch the blood on her face and screamed hysterically. She cherished her appearance, and now that it was disfigured, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to continue to serve men with her beauty. This was probably more painful than killing her.
The shouting startled the guards, and Jun Yi ran into the yard first.
Upon seeing this situation, he stood at attention involuntarily, not knowing whether these two women were jealous of their master, and not knowing whether he could step forward to intervene.
"Junyi, pull her away and find a doctor to bandage her. Then send her back to Shi Ran in Xiyan City!" Xuan grabbed Anian with one hand and waved with the other.
Jun Yi got the easier task and hurried forward to drag Sen Ying away, leaving the hysterical An Nian to Xuan Xuan.
"Anian, don't cry." Xuan coaxed her.
"Brother, promise me that you will never see her again!" Anian cried out of breath.
"Okay, I promise you. Don't cry anymore, or you'll hurt yourself." Xuan Xuan replied while holding her wrist.
Seeing how affectionate they were, I tried to sneak away, but was suddenly bound by a ray of light.
"Want to leave after causing trouble?" Xuan's voice sounded behind him.
I felt a chill on my back and turned around to see that he had a gloomy face. He couldn't help but lie on the ground, whimpering and shaking his tail. He then tried to cover one of my eyes with his bound little paws and pulled his big ears back to make airplane ears.
I've watched too many pet videos, so I know how to beg for mercy. I hope you don't put that necklace back around my neck, please, please.
"When did you learn to be like a puppy?! You are a fox!" Xuanxuan couldn't help laughing. It seems that I still have room for maneuver.
"Good tickling! My love for you is not in vain!" Anian praised loudly.
"Anian! You are inciting it here again!" Xuan stopped Anian's improper practice of keeping pets in time.
"Brother~" Anian begged and coaxed.
"Okay, okay, I won't beat it, but I'll just punish it by not letting it eat for three days, okay?" Xuan compromised.
That night, when I was so hungry that I was exhausted, Anian secretly found me under the moonlight and stuffed me with a big piece of roasted chicken.
I devoured the food, and my stomach no longer felt so empty.
She stroked my head and said with a smile, "Xiaobai, be good and eat slowly! Tomorrow morning, when your brother goes out, I will get you another big piece of braised beef! You have done a great job today. I will protect you in the future. I don't want anyone to dare to bully you!"
For the sake of the food, I rubbed her wrist to show my acceptance of the alliance, even though she might be the only one who bullied me normally.
She slipped away quietly, leaving me burping there.
The next day, Xuan got up early, put on his court robes and went out.
I waited for Anian to feed me a large piece of braised beef, and then I took a nap happily in the study.
The sound of the door opening startled me. I looked up and saw that it was Xuan who walked in with the wind.
Seeing me sitting at the desk, he sat down, rubbed my head with his hand, took out a document and started reading it carefully.
Seeing that he seemed to be ok with me, I stood up and jumped onto his shoulders as usual, pretending to be friendly but actually peeking at him as I read his documents.
I saw that it said that traces of Chen Rong's former soldiers were found near Meilon Town, and he was asked to take people to investigate nearby and encircle and destroy them if necessary.
Xuan raised his hand and pinched my paw, then looked up at me.
I pretended to be innocent and tilted my head.
He pulled me down and hugged me, saying with a smile, "Are you peeking at my documents again? After all these years, have you learned to read?"
Suddenly a bold idea came to my mind.
The life span of an ordinary fox is only a dozen years. If I continue to stay here so docilely, I am afraid I will die in Wushen Mountain. I will always be discovered if I sneak out, so it is better for him to take me away openly.
I raised my paw, patted the words Westgate, and looked up at him with a blink.
Xuanxuan's smile froze.
The next moment he grabbed me tightly, stared at me intently, and asked, "Can you really read?!"
I nodded, glancing at him to see his reaction.
He frowned with a look of disbelief.
The time has come to test my acting skills.
I put my head into his arms and nuzzled him.
He took out the bag that Mori Ying had given him yesterday from his arms.
I walked around and sniffed, looking at him as I sniffed.
Sure enough, he cleverly connected the dots: "You mean, Lanxiang is in Meilong Town?!"
Sorry, you are both far away and close at hand.
But in order to get him to take me out, I had to nod against my will.
He put away the documents, carried me out and called out, "Jun Yi! Pack your things, we're going to Meilong Town!"
I felt a little guilty for lying to him again, but since there were Chen Rong's old soldiers in Meilon Town, I might be able to follow them to find Xiangliu.
Now that we have found Xiangliu, we have also found Qingshui Town and Tushan Jing. Now it should be Ye Shiqi.
The image of a person wearing coarse cloth and a wooden hairpin on his head appeared before my eyes. Although I had never seen him in person, he seemed very familiar to me.
I can't wait any longer.
The strange world outside is waiting for me, and Tu Shanjing is also waiting for me.
I really want to see him again.
Perhaps Xuan was so eager to find me and ask about Xiaoyao that he didn't take a carriage, but rode a horse all the way, which made me feel dizzy.
Others who saw him thought he was marching like the wind, but they didn't know that he was trying to do both public and private things.
When he saw me lying on the horse's back, I was dying. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's a bit urgent. Please bear with it for a while."
I vomited again and again, and felt that the fat I had gained last winter was almost completely consumed. My belly was deflated, and I glanced at him weakly, thinking to myself, he is a poor hostage, and his life must be very miserable! Tushan Jing has a raccoon, Xiangliu has a ball of hair, and he is a prince, so why doesn't he take advantage of a bird to ride on?
As I said, I heard a bird singing in the sky, a dark cloud-like shadow was cast on the ground, and a big black bird fell from the sky, screaming incessantly.
Xuan grabbed me and flew onto it. Wow, I hadn't flown for a long time and my fear of heights came back. I fainted in a very shameless way.
When I woke up, he was already sitting in the dim candlelight polishing his flute. The furnishings in the room were very simple. I guess he had already flown to that Meilong Town.
There was a knock on the door. He opened the door and let in a man dressed as a soldier. The man saluted and said, "I didn't know that Your Highness would come so quickly. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you in person."
Xuan raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Where are Chen Rong's former soldiers now?"
The man replied, "Your Highness, they are in the woods west of Meilong Town. We found traces of them having a picnic this afternoon, but the spies didn't dare to rush forward, fearing that they would lose the fight and lose contact with us, so they just followed them from a distance."
Xuan nodded: "Let him continue to follow. You and I will go to recruit soldiers. We will kill them by surprise tonight. We must leave them alive and torture them to find out the location of Xiangliu's base camp."
