Zhao Pu took Xiao Liangzi to the military camp early in the morning. After a walk around, he couldn't find Ouyang Shaozheng. Several deputy generals in the military camp said that the vanguard officer had not come early in the morning. The Imperial City Army had already gone out to patrol the streets after training. The adjutant was quite curious about what happened to Ouyang.

Zhao Pu couldn't say that the boy was awkward because he was single, so he had to make excuses and took Xiao Liangzi back to Kaifeng.

It was bright at this time, and the weather was very good today. Xiao Liangzi jumped around and followed.

Zhao Pu asked him what military books he had read recently, so he followed the battle plan to Zhao Pu. The master and apprentice chatted very lively.

Just as he was walking back, Zhao Pu suddenly stopped and reached out to pull Xiao Liangzi.

Xiao Liangzi also stopped and turned his face to look at the grass beside him.

There are dense grass on both sides of the official road, and a piece is shaking now.

Several shadow guards fell down, everyone stared at the grass.

After a while, I saw a man running out of the grass, holding something in my hand.

Everyone was speechless when they saw it - Ye Zhiqiu was holding a little pig.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't know if he had rolled around the grass or something. She was covered in fallen leaves, and the little piglet in her hand was quite fat, shaking her tail.

"Eh?" Ye Zhiqiu was also a little surprised to see Zhao Pu and the others.

The shadow guards all dispersed, Xiao Liangzi ran over to take the pig, and asked Ye Zhiqiu curiously, "Xiao Yezi, why are you here? Are you lost again?"

Ye Zhiqiu narrowed his eyes and pointed at himself, "Why are you from Zhan Zhao Baiyutang?"

"Brother Zhan, Brother Bai." Xiao Liangzi felt that Xiao Zhu felt good, so he wanted to take it back and play with Xiao Si Zi.

"Yes, I'm the same age. Why do they two brother Zhan and Brother Bai have to be so small as I am?" Ye Zhiqiu was quite dissatisfied and patted the fallen leaves on his body.

Xiao Liangzi glanced at him, "I have always called you that. Are you lost and don't want to admit it?"

Ye Zhiqiu was embarrassed and turned her face, "No! I'm here to find the pig for the farmers in front of me."

"Farmer?" Zhao Pu thought for a while. There were indeed several villages near the military camp and many farmers.

"But why did you come to the barracks early in the morning?" Xiao Liangzi was puzzled.

"Military camp?" Ye Zhiqiu tilted his head, "I'll go to the Imperial Academy..."

Zhao Pu and Xiao Liangzi were speechless. Is it completely different directions?

"Then you get lost in the village and help the farmers find pigs?"

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, "It's all the blame for the person who gave me the way! He didn't point it right!"

"Who showed you the way?"

"Just the yamen runners at the entrance of Kaifeng Mansion."

Xiao Liangzi and Zhao Pu didn't want to say anything anymore, this guy had no sense of direction at all.

"Why did the pig run into the forest?" Xiao Liangzi wondered.

"It was said that several hunters came in the village last night to make trouble." Ye Zhiqiu said, "Several hunters caught a fox and ran from the entrance to the end of the village. They smashed the fences of many farmers, ran away many pigs and sheep, and shocked a cow."

"Catch the fox?" Zhao Pu asked, "What fox?"

"It's said it's a pretty big red fox." Ye Zhiqiu said, pulling the pig's short tail.

"When it comes to foxes," Xiaoliangzi asked Ye Zhiqiu, "Are you not the descendant of the Red Fox Clan? Do you know any red foxes?"

Ye Zhiqiu was amused and crying, "That's not."

"What are the characteristics of the Red Fox Clan?" Zhao Pu asked, "Have you heard your grandfather talk about it?"

"My grandfather knows how to eat and play all day long, and I, Nao and Lu Chi, are with him." Ye Zhiqiu sighed, "But I remember my grandfather said that the red fox is the guardian of the silver fox."

"So seeing the red fox is not a bad thing, right?" Xiao Liangzi asked.

"No!" Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and pointed at Zhao Pu, "It's like the shadow guards are guarding him, and they can't see them normally, if they appear..."

Zhao Pu nodded, "Is it when I am in danger or may be in danger?"

Ye Zhiqiu nodded.

Xiao Liangzi was a little wary, "There are only two Silver Fox tribes around us. Is the demon king in danger, or is there Jin'er in danger?"

Ye Zhiqiu hugged his arms and shook his head, "First of all, I think I should ask the Demon King first. On the one hand, my grandfather just said it casually. When I heard it, I was still young, so I might make a mistake. In addition, I heard you talk about the Demon King before that the Demon King also saw the fat fox. If there is any problem, he should tell me. Besides... The Demon King has been back for a while. These little foxes on Xiankong Island have not made much trouble before, but have become more and more violent recently, so my grandfather asked me to send it."

Zhao Pu nodded and looked at Ye Zhiqiu who was talking beside him while pulling the pigtail. That's why he ran out early in the morning to find the Silver Demon King. This person is not ordinary smart, has a clear mind in his work. Although he always looks like a young man, he is a person who does big things in terms of talent.

Anyway, nothing happened. Zhao Pu and Xiao Liangzi accompanied Ye Zhiqiu to the farmer's house to return pigs, and asked about the situation of catching foxes.

The farmers said that three people suddenly broke in last night, wearing black clothes, holding ropes and net bags, chasing a fox everywhere. The villagers saw the fox and saw a big red fox, jumping into the forest after three or two. The three men in black later ran into the forest.

"The hunters do not use bows and arrows to catch foxes, but ropes and net bags?" Zhao Pu asked the farmers, "Have you asked them why they caught foxes?"

The farmers nodded, "The hunters said that someone in the city offered a reward to catch the fox, and they also said that it was not a fox, but a goblin."

Zhao Pu asked in detail about the time and found a problem.

"Last night when Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao went to find Xu Yunmei Xiaoxiao, he also said he saw the fox." Zhao Pu asked Xiao Liangzi, "That forest is quite far away from here, right?"

Xiao Liangzi nodded, "Yes, I almost have to pass through a Kaifeng City."

"So... does it mean that there is more than one red fox?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

Zhao Pu couldn't understand why he suddenly had a fight with the fox recently?

After walking around the village, there was not much gain. Zhao Pu and Xiao Liangzi simply took the road mad Ye Zhiqiu to the Imperial Academy together and asked the Silver Demon King about the fox.

...

The conversation was divided into two parts, and went out shopping early in the morning... Zhan Showa Bai Yutang, who was patrolling the street, was sitting on the second floor of the Jiji.

It’s not that they came to Manji to have snacks early in the morning, but they asked Manmuhua to rob him halfway.

Man Muhua has had a headache these two days.

The emperor wants to hold a birthday party, and Concubine Pang has a happy birthday... Usually, a big happy event means a great business opportunity for those who sell food.

Originally, Man Muhua had already been familiar with the preparation of birthday banquets and gifts, but yesterday Nangong Ji came to find him.

Nangong came to pass on a message to Zhao Zhen.

Concubine Pang is pregnant but has a poor appetite recently. Gongsun showed it to the empress and said that her health is fine, but her pregnancy reaction is relatively large, so she can only mediate from her appetite and mood. Gongsun does not recommend taking strong medicine or taking too many supplements. She only said that it is best to see what Concubine Pang wants to eat. The main thing is to make her eat happily, and her appetite will improve gradually.

Zhao Zhen remembered that Manji sent some desserts to the palace before. Concubine Pang liked it very much, so she asked Nangong to come to find Manmuhua, hoping that he would make some nice-looking desserts for Concubine Pang.

Man Muhua was worried. This matter was indeed a good thing. The emperor did not pass the imperial edict and asked him to do it, but sent Nangong to discuss it with him. It was a great face. But on the other hand, preparing food for the imperial concubine, especially the imperial concubine who was pregnant with a dragon baby... This is not an ordinary thing, and the responsibility is heavy.

Man Muhua asked Zhan Zhao Baiyutang to give an idea, and Zhan Bai and the others were speechless, saying that he had asked for the wrong person. What's the use of finding them like this? Of course, I went to find his good "partner" Xiao Sizi.

Man Muhua complained, saying that Xiao Sizi has come fewer people recently, and the medicine shop is much more important than his memory, and some are not.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the young master and finally asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that when Man Muhua asked about this, he got up and closed the doors and windows, and asked in a low voice, "Are you looking for a woman named Meier recently?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, nodded, thinking that it was a clue that came to the door? The two hurriedly asked Man Muhua if he knew this woman.

Man Muhua said that he did know a woman named Meier, but that woman might have died.

"Die?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both surprised and asked Man Muhua to talk about it in detail.

"It was probably three months ago," said Man Muhua. "A friend of mine booked a pleasure boat and invited some people to board the boat to the lake to drink and enjoy the night view. In fact, he invited so many people to board the boat, mainly to please someone. Li Fan, have you heard of this name?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked, "Are you a non-commissioned officer from the inn? I seem to have heard of it."

"Well! Li Fan is just a non-commissioned officer, but he is Li Yuanhao's nephew. He has the final say in the entire Xixia Inn. Many people in the imperial city want to curry favor with him." Man Muhua continued, "It was a good night that night, and I also invited some beauties to play to make fun of it. But Li Fan is like this, don't look at the usual person, the wine tastes are not very good, and he will touch him after drinking a few more glasses. The few my friend invited were all piano players in the Qin Pavilion, and they were not accompanying him. The fuss was very unhappy at the time. I saw that something might happen, so I brought a few beautiful girls with me.

The man got off the boat first. Li Fan said he wanted to change to a few sensible people to accompany him. My friend's housekeeper brought several other beauties on board, one of whom was red and pretty. When I left, they were calling themselves the names. The red-clothed man called himself Meier, who was Li Fan whom she accompanied. But yesterday my friend came to tell me that something actually happened that night! Not long after I left, Li Fan suddenly lost control and hit Meier for some reason. Meier fell off the bow of the boat and fell into the river and disappeared."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Drowned?"

"I don't know." Man Muhua spread his hands, "At that time, most of the people on the boat were drunk, and they were half awake until Mei'er fell into the water. Several boatmen jumped into the river to look for it, but in the end they only found a piece of red silk, and the person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air..."

When Man Muhua said this, Zhan Zhao waved his hand, "Didn't you see it? Is it all heard from your friends?"

Man Muhua nodded.

Zhan Zhao asked him to continue talking.

"After this incident, Li Fan hid and hadn't appeared for a long time." Man Muhua sighed, "My friend was worried all day long, so he just hugged the hope that Mei'er was very good and wandered around by himself. After a few days, no one reported missing, and there was no corpse floating in the river. Until recently, someone asked everywhere if there was a woman named Mei'er."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang knew that they should be the one sent by Xue Xianggui.

"In the end, I heard that something happened to Xue An, and I called the fox girl a fool, and it was very fierce." Man Muhua was helpless, "I found a female corpse in red from the river yesterday, and my friend was panicked and came to tell me about this."

"If Mei'er had fallen into the river and died three months ago, it wouldn't have been possible that she would have floated up yesterday." Zhan Zhao was dissatisfied. "Why wasn't it sure if the person was dead at that time? And how could he disappear after falling into the water? Did you look for it carefully?"

The fifth master also nodded.

Man Muhua was helpless, "Didn't I know about this just yesterday? If I had known, I would have taken him to Kaifeng Prefecture to report the case."

"But it may not be dead, otherwise who is the one who dates Xue An?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao also found it strange.

"The evil sect is here." Man Muhua whispered, "Can we meet that night be the same as the one Xue An meets, and it's not human at all?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both frowned, "What is that if you are not a human?"
