This guy ...... Isn't it already gone?

Xia Fan felt that his consciousness was getting heavier and heavier, and he squeezed Li's hand with his last strength, wanting her to leave first - with the skills of the fox demon, it was impossible for anyone to stop her here, but if she had to take herself, there was a high probability that none of them would be able to leave.

Hopefully she'll understand what she means.

But Li only grabbed him a little tighter.

"Another alchemist?" Hu Huairen couldn't help but shout, "What about the people below, what are they doing to eat! Alarm bell, why hasn't the alarm bell sounded yet?"

"Do you mean these people?" Shangguan Cai moved his fingers.

An armored soldier walked into the room and threw a corpse on the ground—Hu Huairen looked at it and realized that it was the nurse he had arranged.

His face couldn't help but change drastically.

Whether it is a local gentry or a big family, it is common to raise a group of private men and thugs, with some knives, guns and sticks, but armor is different. Once it is found that the armor is hidden, it can be punished as a rebellion, but the person in front of him is openly wearing a chain mail!

It's just wanton and reckless, and the law and discipline are nothing!

At the same time, the cacophony of shouts below had become much thinner, replaced by the soft clatter of swords and the rapid screams.

This change undoubtedly meant that the reinforcements he relied on to be courageous were in vain.

"What do you mean—what do you mean?" Hu Huairen trembled and pointed at Shangguan Cai, "Invade the county mansion, attack the imperial court officials, and gang up with demons to make trouble, I think you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, don't die!"

The soldier stepped forward and raised his hand at Hu Huairen and slapped him four times.

The weight of his hand made both of his cheeks visibly swollen.

"You—How dare you—"

"Presumptuous, don't be rude to Her Royal Highness the Third Princess!"

"Gong ...... Lord?" Hu Huairen was completely stunned, "You said this person is ......"

He was answered with two more slaps in the face.

The magistrate was completely speechless.

The rest of the family in the room had never seen such a scene, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

And Shangguan Cai didn't look at them at all, from the moment she entered the door, her eyes only stayed on Xia Fan.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little late. ”

Seeing that Xia Fan was no longer reacting, she turned to Li and took a closer look, "It turns out that you are the 'old hunter' who led the way for us." ”

Li's tail stood upside down, and her spell was ready to be launched - she had seen the opponent's skills in the Blood Raven battle, and with her current strength, she had to fight to the death to have a chance to win.

"Don't worry, I don't have the idea of getting rid of demons, at least not yet. Shangguan Cai said lightly, "I wonder if you can let me give it to you?"

"Are you going to deliver him to the Privy Council? ”

"No, I want him to be in charge of the Privy Council, if he can do it. ”

Shangguan Cai's answer was completely unexpected by Li.

"Why, do you think I've put so much effort into sifting him out just to get him guillotined?" she tilted her head slightly, "don't think that you are the only one who sees the Privy Council as a thorn in the side. ”

Li was a little suspicious of his ears for a while.

The princess will also be hostile to the Privy Council?

"I know you don't trust me, and that's okay. Shangguan Cai chuckled, "But I want you to understand that there is no one else who can save Xia Fan now except me." ”

After saying that, she walked towards the door with her hands behind her back, "Actually, you don't have much choice, do you? If you don't want him to die from his injuries, take him with me." ”

......

When Xia Fan woke up, he found himself lying on a large soft bed.

The body is covered with a smooth silk quilt, and there is a hint of fragrance when you smell it.

Not only the bed, but every furnishing in the room is full of comfort and sophistication, even the simplest chair with a delicate carving on the back.

It was the first time he had lived in such a gorgeous room when he came to this era, and this experience was probably the closest to his previous life.

The sluggishness that had not yet dissipated made Xia Fan want to close his eyes again, but a tingling pain in his chest and back at the same time made him suddenly come back to his senses.

Wasn't he supposed to have fought a death match with a woman who seemed to be a ninja at the prefect's mansion in Gaoshan County before?

Fragments of memories poured into my mind one after another.

In the end, the picture stayed on Shangguan Cai's appearance, and the words faintly coming from his ears.

She was...... Princess Qiguo?

No, that's not the point!

The point is the fox demon!

Xia Fan lifted the quilt suddenly, turned over and got out of bed, the pain of the wound was like an appendage, almost causing him to fall to the ground.

But that didn't stop him.

He must find Shangguan Cai as soon as possible and ask her about Li's whereabouts-

"In such a hurry, are you looking for me?"

Xia Fan couldn't help but be stunned, he turned his head to look, and found that Li Zheng was carrying a plate of dishes and hot porridge, and walked into the house through another door.

He hurriedly sat back on the bed, "I just want to go to the bathroom......"

"Oh?" Li put the plate on the table and looked at him with a blank face, "So you don't care about my life or death. ”

"I—that's not what I meant. Xia Fan twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally lost the battle, "Okay, I really want to go to you." ”

Li's eyes gradually curled, "Well, that's pretty much it. ”

"Your clothes—" Xia Fan took the opportunity to shift the topic to the other party, "Where did it come from?"

At this moment, Li is actually wearing a short-sleeved and long-sleeved skirt, and the style is by no means the current mainstream of Qiguo, but like a modified Hanfu in his previous life. The color scheme of white and blue looks dignified and lively, and the Y-shaped collar at the neckline falls straight to the waist, connecting with the high-waisted belt, which undoubtedly sets off the slender figure of the fox demon. The blue skirt did not mop the floor, but was about half a foot off the ground, showing her feet, and the overall feeling was eye-catching.

"Your colleague...... No, she's a princess now. She sent it. Li replied, "It was said that it was a trial product in the palace, and she didn't need it, so she wore it for me." ”

No, the key is not the clothes - Xia Fan suddenly realized that although the clothes were indeed eye-catching, what really made Li complete was the pair of ears and tail. She didn't hide her fox demon characteristics, but showed it generously in front of her.

"Your ears ......"

"Anyway, the other party has discovered his true identity, and it doesn't make much sense to hide it. Lai's eyes narrowed slightly, "I remember you said you didn't dislike furry things, right?

"No," Xia Fan hurriedly chose the correct answer, "You look better now than ever." ”

Lai's tail wagged, "Thanks for the compliment." By the way, the kitchen is always preparing hot food, and since you wake up, let's eat together. ”

She's not the same as before. Xia Fan realized again.

It doesn't matter if it's a smile or an attitude...... He can't say that the previous Li was bad, but sometimes he can faintly feel that for the fox demon, choosing to be with Fang Shi is probably more to save the master.

But at this moment, she lives for herself.

"By the way, the princess said that if you wake up, let me inform her immediately," Li handed a bowl of rice porridge to Xia Fan, "Judging by her attitude, it seems that she wants to recruit you." ”

"Poof," Xia Fan almost choked on the porridge, "Solicitation?"

"I don't really understand the hypocritical rhetoric and polite relationships of you human beings, just talk to her yourself. Li said slowly, "But no matter what choice you make, I am willing to accept it." If you want to stay, then go without saying, if you want to go, I can take you wherever you want to go - no matter how high the courtyard walls are, you can't stop a fox demon. ”

Wait, that's the other way around, shouldn't I be taking you away?

But seeing the other party's radiant eyes, Xia Fan withdrew the objection from his lips and nodded calmly, "Then it's up to you." ”
