Chapter 32: The Fox
"County lord, the slave maid has seen it, there is a waterfall on the very tall mountain to the west of this palace, and even better, there is a hexagonal pavilion next to the waterfall, and the stream by the pavilion has been flowing into the mountain stream, standing in that pavilion, you must be able to see the appearance of the entire Zheng Capital City." Xue Liu said, very yearning.
They have been in the Qishun Building since they were children, and the farthest road they have taken is the path from the Qishun Building to the Prince's Mansion, the moss is paved, the palace walls on both sides are dark and old, and the front of the Prince's Mansion is very strict, and the most they see is also a few flowers and plants that are overtaken of in the Qishun Building.
"I look pretty good, too." Zheng Nianru nodded, and when she went out later, she hugged each other, everywhere she went, it was covered by yellow fences, and there were few such natural scenery.
Xingyu got a pheasant out of nowhere, Yun Niang was cleaning up diligently, although she still couldn't go out, but these guards of Concubine Wen were much more lax than those in the palace, and the remote courtyard where they lived was already very unnoticeable.
Xingyu followed the wall of the palace again, chasing a wild fox coming down from the mountain, the wild fox had smooth and bright fur, and was very beautiful.
The fox scurried into the courtyard wall of the palace, and under the pursuit of Xingyu, it slowly walked towards the courtyard where Zheng Nianru was. Xingyu is very skillful not fast nor slow, neither letting the fox jump over the wall in a hurry, nor scurrying into other courtyards.
"Snow willow, close the courtyard door-" Xingyu shouted, not tall, short and clumsy, but very flexible.
Xue Liu quickly closed the courtyard door, and Xingyu slid in sideways from outside the gate.
When the wild fox suddenly saw so many people, he immediately panicked, and suddenly knocked over the hot water that Yun Niang was about to scald the pheasant.
"My water, you two little cubs, be careful to scare your master." Yun Niang patted her thighs, and hurriedly carried the pheasant in one hand and led the wooden bucket to fetch water in the other.
Blowing winter and summer, I immediately looked for something to help catch the wild fox.
"Xingyu, this fox is so beautiful, the county lord is thinking about a good-looking collar." Nian Xia happily looked at the red fox jumping up and down in the yard, it was really beautiful.
Zheng Nianru was lying on the recliner, the chair drape was specially thickened, comfortable and soft, making people not want to get up.
"Xingyu, hurry, catch it." Fudong and Nian Xia forced the red fox into a corner, and just when Xingyu was about to pounce over, the red fox suddenly turned around and came directly towards Nian Xia's façade.
Nian Xia screamed, and the wild fox had already jumped on Nian Xia's shoulder, jumped directly onto the roof, and then jumped quickly onto the wall.
Xingyu caught up with the roof and followed the wild fox directly out of the wall.
"Xingyu be careful."
But where is there still the shadow of the wild fox, Zheng Nian also stood up at this time, looking at the roof, Xingyu went down to the roof with some disappointment.
"Xingyu, didn't catch it?"
"It's a shame, such a beautiful fox."
The wild fox panicked, ran all the way, jumped two courtyard walls in a row, and suddenly fell on the shoulders of a young man, the wild fox immediately wanted to escape, suddenly, the wild fox let out two miserable howls, the fiery red hair also became corrosed and withered in an instant, and the next moment, from the young man's shoulders fell directly to the ground, and he did not move after two convulsions.
The young man's footsteps did not stop, and he did not even look at the fox on the ground, the black hood wrapped his entire head inside, and a face that was difficult to see revealed in the black shadow.
The boy was holding a cloth bag in his hand, and something squirmed in the black cloth bag from time to time, as if he was about to break free from the cloth bag and escape at any time.
……
Wen Kangye searched for a long time to get a poisonous snake in the southern corner, donated blood to seal his throat, and fell in five steps.
Since His Royal Highness was rescued by that mysterious galactic mage, the number of these poisonous insects needed every day was staggering. In order to get these things, the Wen family used almost half of their own power.
This poisonous snake was also mentioned by the concubine Niangniang many times, and it took a lot of hard work to catch it.
Wen Zan carried the carefully prepared gifts, and he was worried. Although the viper was still small, it was very sturdy despite the custom-made wooden box. But the snake had slipped out by accident and bit four or five of the guards to death, and Wen Zan had seen the miserable condition of those guards with his own eyes, and his whole body was bruised, and finally turned into a puddle of pus and blood.
Wen Zan couldn't wait to go to the courtyard of the Second Highness immediately, but he followed Kang Ning's father-in-law farther and farther all the way, and a layer of sweat came out of his back, and he hadn't arrived yet.
"His Royal Highness is quiet, so he lives a little far." Father-in-law Kang Ning explained as he walked, "Although His Second Highness is not in good health, young people always like young people, and Young Master Wen can come often, Second Highness must be very happy." "Especially this snake is really difficult to get, the people of the Forbidden Forest Imperial Court have not gained anything after going out for a few waves, it can be seen that Wen Kangye has put a lot of thought into it.
"Father-in-law, does His Royal Highness live so far away?" Wen Zan looked around, is this a little far away? A little farther away from the palace, Wen Zan's hands were sour, and Kang Ning's father-in-law finally stopped in front of a courtyard.
"Young Master Wen, it's here." Kang Ning's father-in-law pushed open the door, covered by pavilion trees, there was only a path, and the moss paved the ground, Wen Zan was a little puzzled, can this place be inhabited, why don't you see a guard?
"Second Highness." Father-in-law Kangning shouted at the top of his voice, although there was no response, Father-in-law Kangning walked directly in as if he had received a response.
"Hey, hey, Grandpa Kang." Wen Zan hurriedly chased after him, how is this place gloomy, even more gloomy than in the palace, and there are no houses to be seen at all.
Wen Zan finally saw the house, it was also hidden in the shade of a tall tree, the door was closed, and Father-in-law Kangning went inside, and Father-in-law Wenzan was going to La-Father-in-law Kangning.
"Young Master Wen, please."
Wen Zan's hand shrunk and went in? Really go in? Are you sure there's someone inside?
"Second Highness." Wen Zan asked in a suppressed voice, tiptoeing his head out. The gray-white veil inside the house obscured all vision, the light veil swayed slightly, the sunlight was dappled, and only the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind outside the window could be heard.
Wen Zan is like a thief, he doesn't even dare to come out, isn't it, Gonggong Kang, are you sure there is someone?
Father-in-law Kang Ning was also puzzled, although it was a little weird in the palace in the past, he was able to see His Royal Highness the Second Highness.
"Father-in-law Kang, it seems to be ...... No one ......" Wen Zan tugged at Kang Ning's father-in-law's clothes and whispered, although it was not dark in this room, there was always a cold feeling.
"Shall we go back first?" Father-in-law Kang Ning is not calm anymore, since the mysterious mage is by the side of the Second Highness, he is afraid of it once.
"Hmm." Wen Zan nodded approvingly, and turned around decisively.
It's just that as soon as the two of them turned around, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind the two, like a ghost, Wen Zan screamed, one staggered backwards, and Kang Ning's father-in-law, who was holding his hand, fell backwards.
Crackling and falling to the ground with furniture.
"Snake—" Wen Zan remembered how rare the snake was, and was about to check it out, but saw that the black shadow was faster than him, and rushed directly towards his snake.
"Hell—" Wen Zan screamed, and the next moment he was kicked out.
