Zhao Pu took Xiao Liangzi to the military camp early in the morning, but after looking around, he could not find Ouyang Shaozheng. Several lieutenants in the barracks said that the vanguard officer had not come early in the morning, and that the Imperial City Army had gone out to patrol the streets after training. The lieutenants were quite curious.

What happened to Ouyang?

Zhao Pu couldn't say that the boy was awkward because he was single, so he had to prevaricate for a few words and took Xiao Liangzi back to Kaifeng.

At this time, the sky was bright and the weather was particularly good today. Xiao Liangzi followed him up and down.

Zhao Pu asked him what military books he had read recently, and he recited the tactics to Zhao Pu. The master and apprentice had a lively chat.

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

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

The grass on both sides of the official road is thick, and there is a patch of grass swaying now.

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

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

When everyone saw it, they were a little speechless - it was Ye Zhiqiu holding a piglet.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't know if he had rolled around in the grass or something. His body was covered with fallen leaves, and the little piglet in his hand was quite fat and was wagging its tail.

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

The shadow guards all dispersed, Xiao Liangzi ran over to pick up Xiaozhu, and curiously asked Ye Zhiqiu, "Xiao Zizi, why are you here? Are you lost again?"

Ye Zhiqiu squinted and pointed at himself, "Why do you call Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang?"

"Brother Zhan, Brother Bai." Xiao Liangzi thought the piggy felt good, so he wanted to take it back and give it to Xiao Sizi to play with.

"Yes, we are of the same age, so why are they like Big Brother Bai and me like Little Ye Zi?" Ye Zhiqiu was quite dissatisfied and patted the fallen leaves on his body.

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

Ye Zhiqiu was embarrassed and twisted his face, "No! I'm looking for a piglet for the farmer in front of me."

"Farmers?" Zhao Pu thought for a while, and there were indeed several villages near the military camp with many farmers.

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

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

Zhao Pu and Xiao Liangzi were both speechless. They were completely in two directions, okay?

"Then you got lost and wandered into Murakami, helping farmers find pigs?"

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, "It's all my fault to the person who gave me directions! None of them were correct!"

"Who showed you the way?"

"Just the yamen at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion."

Xiao Liangzi and Zhao Pu didn't want to say anything. This one had no sense of direction at all.

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

"It is said that some hunters came into the village last night and caused trouble." Ye Zhiqiu said, "A few hunters caught a fox and ran from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, breaking many farmers' fences and running away many pigs and sheep.

, and even startled a cow.”

"Catch a fox?" Zhao Pu asked, "What kind of fox?"

"It's a pretty big red fox," Ye Zhiqiu said, tugging at the short tail of the little pig.

"Speaking of foxes." Xiao Liangzi asked Ye Zhiqiu, "Aren't you the queen of the red fox tribe? Do you know any red foxes?"

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't laugh or cry, "That's not true."

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

"My grandpa only knows how to eat and play all day long, but I and Lu Chi all come with him." Ye Zhiqiu sighed, "But I remember grandpa said that red foxes protect silver foxes."

"So seeing a 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. You 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 two Silver Fox tribes around us. Is it the Demon King who is in danger, or Jin'er?"

Ye Zhiqiu crossed his arms and shook his head, "First of all, I think I need to ask the Demon King first. On the one hand, my grandfather just said it casually. I was still young when I heard it, so I might get it wrong. Also, I heard you talk about demons before.

The king has also seen the fat fox. If there is any problem, he should be able to say it. Besides... The demon king has been back for a while. The little foxes on Xingkong Island didn't make much trouble before, but recently they have become more and more violent.

, so grandpa asked me to send it."

Zhao Pu nodded and looked at Ye Zhiqiu, who was talking and pulling the tail of the piglet next to him. That's why he ran out early in the morning to find the Silver Demon King. This man was not ordinary smart, he had strong opinions and a clear mind, despite his appearance.

He looks like a young man, but in terms of talent, he is a person who can do big things.

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

The farmers said that three people suddenly broke in last night, wearing black clothes and holding ropes and nets, chasing a fox everywhere. People in the village saw the fox at a glance. It was a huge red fox, hopping around.

Then he went into the woods, and the three men in black later ran into the woods as well.

"Hunters don't use bows and arrows to catch foxes, but ropes and nets?" Zhao Pu asked the farmers, "Have you ever asked them why they didn't catch foxes?"

The farmers all nodded, "Those hunters said that someone in the city offered a reward for catching this fox. They also said that this is not a fox, but a goblin."

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

"When Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao went to see Xu Yunmei Xiaoxiao last night, they also said they saw foxes." Zhao Pu asked Xiao Liangzi, "Isn't that forest quite far away from here?"

Xiao Liangzi nodded, "Yes, we almost have to pass through a Kaifeng city."

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

Zhao Pu also couldn't understand why he suddenly got into trouble with the fox recently.

After wandering around the village but not finding much, Zhao Pu and Xiao Liangzi simply took Ye Zhiqiu, a road fool, to go to Taixue to ask the Silver Demon King about the fox.

…

The conversation was divided into two parts. They went shopping early in the morning... Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who were patrolling the streets, were sitting on the second floor of Manji.

It's not that they came to Manji for snacks early in the morning, but that Man Muhua was kidnapped on the way.

Man Muhua has had a headache these past two days.

The emperor is going to hold a birthday banquet, and Concubine Pang is also happy... Usually big happy events mean big business opportunities for food sellers.

Originally, Man Muhua was already familiar with preparing birthday banquets and gifts, but yesterday Nangong Ji came to see him in person.

Nangong came to send a message to Zhao Zhen.

Concubine Pang is pregnant with Liujia, but her appetite has been poor recently. Gongsun showed her to the empress and said that her body was fine, but the pregnancy reaction was severe, so she could only deal with her appetite and mood. Gongsun did not recommend taking strong medicine or eating too much.

As for supplements, I just say it’s best to see what Concubine Pang wants to eat. The most important thing is to make her eat happily, and her appetite will gradually improve.

Zhao Zhen remembered that Manji had sent some desserts to the palace before, and Concubine Pang liked them very much, so he asked Nangong to come to Man Muhua and wanted him to make some beautiful snacks for Concubine Pang.

Man Muhua was worried. This matter was indeed a good thing. The emperor did not send an imperial edict for him to do, but sent Nangong to discuss it with him. It was a great honor. But on the other hand, prepare food for the imperial concubine.

, especially the princess who is pregnant with a dragon fetus... This is not an ordinary thing, it is a heavy responsibility.

Man Muhua asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to give him an idea. Zhan Bai and the other two were a little speechless, saying that he asked the wrong person. What's the use of asking them for such a thing? Of course he went to his good "partner" Xiao Sizi

ah.

Man Muhua complained grumblingly, saying that the fourth son came here less recently, and that the drug stores were much more important than Manji, and there were not many.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang watched the young master talking about this, and finally asked him, "What on earth do you want?"

Seeing that the question came here, Man Muhua stood up, 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 and nodded, wondering if a clue had come to their door. They quickly asked Man Muhua if he knew this woman.

Man Muhua said that he did know a woman named Meier, but that woman might be dead.

"Dead?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both surprised and asked Man Muhua to elaborate.

"It happened about three months ago," Man Muhua said, "A friend of mine chartered a boat and invited some people to go on the boat to cruise around the lake, drink and enjoy the night view. In fact, he invited so many people to go on the boat.

Mainly to please one person, Li Fan, have you heard of this name?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked, "Is he a sergeant from Guanyi? I seem to have heard of him."

"Well! Although Li Fan is just a non-commissioned officer, he is Li Yuanhao's nephew. He has the final say in the entire Xixia Palace. Many people in the imperial city want to curry favor with him." Man Muhua continued, "That night was quite good.

We also invited some beauties to play music to add to the fun. But Li Fan, although he looks like a dog on ordinary days, his wine is not very good, and he gets into trouble after a few drinks. My friend invited all of them

The piano master of the Qin Pavilion was not the one accompanying the guests, so the commotion was quite unpleasant. Seeing that something might happen, I took a few beauties to get off the boat first. Li Fan said that some sensible people should be replaced to accompany the guests. My friend

The housekeeper brought several other beauties on board, one of whom was dressed in red and quite good-looking. When I left, I heard them announcing their names. The one in red called herself Meier, and she was the one accompanying her.

Li Fan. But yesterday my friend came to tell me that something happened that night! Not long after I left, Li Fan suddenly lost control for some reason and hit Meier. Meier fell off the bow of the boat and fell into the river and disappeared.

.”

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Drown?"
