Chapter 18: The White Fox

As soon as it was dawn, the people who had been staying in the inn left as soon as possible, for they all noticed that the person who suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night was a corpse that had been parked in a coffin.

To say that Shen Chengping encountered the most on the road, in addition to all kinds of caravans, it was some scholars who rode on horseback, after all, the imperial court treated scholars preferentially, and many scholars went out to travel, and the government would prepare horses to entangle.

Shen Chengping and Lu Xueqi crossed Lianyun Mountain in the past few days, entered the boundary of Lianyun County, walked together on the mountain path, and met a group of wandering thieves on the road, but seven or eight people, but they were all eliminated by Shen Chengping.

After moving forward for a while, there was a shouting sound in front of him, Shen Chengping looked for prestige, and saw that not far ahead, in a place with a wide field of vision, a group of more than a dozen people were raising a bonfire there, it seemed that they were barbecuing their prey, looking at the other party's formation, it should be some rich children who entered the mountains to hunt and play.

Since they are not bandits or anything like that, Shen Chengping and Lu Xueqi didn't take it to heart, and Shen Chengping's carriage also attracted the attention of more than a dozen people, three of whom should be powerful children, even if they enter the mountains to hunt, they have a sense of safety, not to mention bringing more than a dozen guards, just look at the place they choose, even if they encounter bandits, they can react as soon as they have a wide field of vision.

One of the guards whispered to one of the boys in fancy clothes, "Childe, it's a carriage, there is no danger. ”

Zhen Gongzi nodded slightly and said, "I didn't expect that someone would dare to walk this mountain road alone, so they are not afraid of encountering any danger?" ”

While he was talking, a guard came over with a white fox in his hand and said, "Childe, the white fox I hit just now happened to kill and make a shawl for Childe." I saw that it was a white fox with pure white body without a trace of impurities, and an arrow pierced one of its legs, which was being held in the hand of the guard at this time, with a pair of big eyes watery, as if pleading.

Zhen Gongzi glanced at it, waved his hand and said, "Yes, this white fox fur is not bad, slaughter it!" ”

Hearing this, the guard glanced at the white fox in his hand and said, "Little thing, it's your blessing that your fur can be turned into a shawl for my son-in-law." ”

At this time, Shen Chengping's carriage passed by, and inadvertently, Lu Xueqi saw the white fox in the guard's hand, the white fox squeaked in his mouth, obviously realizing that he was going to be slaughtered, and struggled violently.

"Stop." Seeing this, Lu Xueqi couldn't help but scream, turned her head to look at the son, and said, "Let that fox go!" ”

Seeing this, the guard glared at this side and said, "Where are you from, don't be nosy!" ”

Seeing this, Shen Chengping knew that it was Lu Xueqi who was happy to see the fox, she had always liked such a snow-white little animal, and she often kept some white rabbits at home in the Zhuxian world before, so she was inevitably moved by compassion at this time, so she got out of the carriage and walked over.

Seeing Shen Chengping and Yu Xuanang coming over, Zhen Gongzi also looked over, Shen Chengping walked closer, and knew that among the three rich sons, it was that Zhen Gongzi as the leader, so he bowed his hand slightly and said: "Shen Chengping has seen this brother." ”

Shen Chengping is now dressed as a scholar, coupled with an extraordinary bearing, it seems that his background is not ordinary, that Zhen Gongzi also restrained his superior expression when he saw it, most of the people from such big families, especially the children of the elite, are good at observing words and feelings, and they are by no means straw bags, which is still a bit of eyesight.

Shen Chengping put on the identity of a scholar, and after greeting each other, Shen Chengping said: "Can this son make it convenient to buy this white fox to me, it can be regarded as fulfilling my friend's good thoughts." ”

Zhen Gongzi thought for a while, and then said: "That's it, since Brother Shen said so, this white fox will be handed over to Brother Shen, and if you don't have any money, you should make a friend." ”

Shen Chengping smiled when he heard this: "Thank you so much." ”

However, Shen Chengping still stuffed a few taels of broken silver into the hands of the guard carrying the white fox, and after the Zhen Gongzi nodded, the guard handed over the white fox to Shen Chengping.

After accepting the white fox, when Shen Chengping was about to continue his journey with Xueqi, the young man Zhen spoke: "Brother Shen, meeting is fate, it is already noon at this time, why don't you stay and have lunch before you go?" ”

Shen Chengping thought about it a little but didn't refuse, people respect me, I respect people, Zhen Gongzi didn't hesitate to agree to hand over the white fox to him, Shen Chengping is a confession, at this time Lu Xueqi is already pretending to be a man, still carrying a sword box, covered by spells, Zhen Gongzi and his party did not see the abnormality, but thought that Lu Xueqi, who was alias Lu Qingyun, was a swordsman.

Raising a glass to drink, Zhen Gongzi said with a smile: "No wonder Brother Shen dares to drive this mountain road alone, it turns out that there are swordsmen like Brother Lu by his side." ”

After a simple conversation, Shen Chengping also knew that Zhen Gongzi and his party were actually from Lianyun County, and Zhen Gongzi was the son of the county commander of Lianyun County, and the other two were also the sons of the powerful people of Lianyun County.

Think about it, if it weren't for the powerful, how could there be so many attendants, especially Shen Chengping still had crossbow arrows hanging on those horses, and this set of equipment was no less than in the army.

After they chatted, they found that Shen Chengping was outstanding in learning, so they invited Shen Chengping to Lianyun County as a guest.

After eating, the group was ready to go back, but Lu Xueqi did not continue to bring the white fox, the wound on the white fox's leg had been restored by her spell, so the white fox was released directly. In fact, Lu Xueqi found that this white fox had already opened his spiritual wisdom, had some shallow cultivation, and there was no evil qi on his body, so he let it go in order not to attract more right and wrong.

The next road was safe and sound, but in Shen Chengping's induction, he found a group of bandits, and there were more than a dozen of them, but these bandits were not fools, just looking at Zhen Ping and his party, they knew that they couldn't afford to provoke. If it was just Shen Chengping driving the carriage by, Shen Chengping could be sure that this group of bandits would definitely not let go of the opportunity to rob them.

A group of people entered the county, but found that the atmosphere in the county was not right, the county seat at this time is not big, basically half an hour to be able to walk back and forth, soon after the group entered the city, they saw a lot of people around the door of a small courtyard, and there were white sails hanging on the gate, obviously someone died.
