Everyone escorted Li Fan back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Along the way, Ouyang Shaozheng and the red fox fell in love, and the fox was also amused, following Ouyang back and forth.

Many passers-by on the street were curious, did Kaifeng Mansion raise a new pet? This time it was a big fox? It looked like the one raised by a red unicorn... Look at the two fur colors, they are almost the same, they look like brothers.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have been discussing the "blind date" for Xiao Wu all the way. The fifth master is going to write a letter to ask the third master to help contact the friend and discuss when it is better to go to Jinhua Mansion.

Li Rong was quite embarrassed and walked with everyone. As he walked, he quietly glanced at Zhao Pu.

This feeling is quite subtle.

Li Rong and Zhao Pu are opposites in terms of their positions. To be fair, regardless of their identity, Li Rong admires and even worships Zhao Pu very much, regardless of their identity. The tribes in the northwest worship martial arts.

Most of the soldiers in the military camps of various countries worship Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu is a living legend and an idol in the northwest.

Li Rong felt quite honored to be able to walk on the streets of Kaifeng City with Zhao Pu. This opportunity should be considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Li Rong glanced at Zhao Pu several times, thinking it would be best to strike up a conversation and have a few words... But Zhao Pu's attention was entirely on the carriage where Li Fan was imprisoned.

No one else noticed, but Zhao Pu noticed just now that Li Fan in the carriage was not moving at all, just leaning against the window.

This is very abnormal! With how excited he was when he was chasing the fox just now, two soldiers couldn't hold him down. Why is he so quiet now?

After staring at Li Fan for a long time, Zhao Pu felt that something was getting more and more wrong. The boy acted like a corpse the whole time, staring straight at Ouyang with his eyes, as if he had deep hatred.

But Ouyang Shaozheng was completely unaware. He kept his head down and chatted with the fox while walking. The fox was also strange. It clung to Ouyang and not only followed him, but also looked up at him, as if listening to him. Moreover, this fox was very serious.

Cute, chubby, with a pair of eyes narrowed into two curves, head tilted up and mouth slightly opened, as if smiling, a big duster-like tail swaying rhythmically from side to side, steps brisk, and ears moving from time to time.

, how should I put it... the aura is compelling.

Zhao Pu looked at the fox, then at Li Fan, then at the fox, then at Li Fan... What was going on?

"Ahem." Finally, Li Rong, who had been left drying like a bamboo pole, coughed.

Zhao Pu glanced at him, and he immediately spoke, "Marshal hasn't returned to Black Wind City for a long time."

Li Rong had nothing to say and was ready to get close to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu looked at him.

If it had been in the past, Zhao Pu would have teased him, but today he had no intention of doing so.

"What's going on with your nephew?" Zhao Pu motioned to Li Rong to take a look at Li Fan.

Li Rong looked in the direction indicated by Zhao Pu, feeling a little confused. He reached out and touched his chin, "Speaking of which...he hasn't called me from just now, right?"

Zhao Pu nodded, isn't he? Isn't he your nephew? He didn't even call him uncle?

"Something's not right." Li Rong stared at Li Fan, "Although he is usually uneducated and incompetent, he is sweet-mouthed and timid. I have never seen him behave like this... Is there something going on with General Ouyang?"

Zhao Pu said nothing, but glanced at Li Rong.

What Zhao Pu was worried about was that even Li Rong was aware of Li Fan's inexplicable hostility, and it was directed at Ouyang.

"Hiss..." Zhao Pu felt anxious. He wanted to go back to Kaifeng Mansion immediately and discuss it with Gongsun.

Thinking of this, Zhao Pu suddenly felt better... He stretched out his hand to rub his chest. The Ninth Prince himself was surprised. Thinking of Gongsun, he actually calmed down.

…

At this time, Gongsun was walking out of the widow's workshop. He had just washed his hands when he suddenly felt an itch in his nose and sneezed twice in a row.

I rubbed my nose and walked into the yard, and saw that the stone table in front of Miao Miao Building was full of people.

Gongsun glanced at it and almost laughed out loud.

This table was surrounded by a circle of dignitaries, including King Meili of the Deer, Qin Zhaoxu, the Minister of Industry, Xue Xianggui, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and Xu Zansheng, a great writer.

Mr. Bao is in the study. Just now Man Muhua brought Wang Xinglong, the owner of Xinglong Silk and Satin Manor, and he is talking in the study.

The grand master held a tea cup, pulled out a stool and sat next to Qin Chaoxu.

Mr. Qin was holding a letter in his hand, his eyes were red and he was wiping tears.

The Grand Master and Mei Lie were both comforting him. Xue Xianggui looked very guilty and sighed with his head down, while Xu Zansheng sat there in a daze.

Gongsun walked in and saw Master Bao waiting for guests, so he didn't go in. He wanted to wait in the yard. He guessed that Zhao Pu should be back. His son didn't know where he had gone. He was a little hungry, so why don't he go to eat with him.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was too awkward, and Gongsun was neither standing nor sitting. Fortunately, Xiaowu came up to him and nuzzled Gongsun in a coquettish way.

Gongsun knelt down and touched its big head. He raised his head and looked at the roof of Miao Miao Building. Yaoyao was sleeping there. There were two little blue parrots squatting on the dragon's horns. They might be new friends.

"Sir, come and sit." The grand master moved a chair for Gongsun.

Gongsun walked over and sat down, taking the tea brought to him by Chen Xing'er. Seeing Qin Chaoxu crying, he asked the grand master, "What's wrong?"

The grand master sighed, Qin Chaoxu wiped his eyes and handed the letter in his hand to Gongsun to read.

Gongsun opened his eyes and took a look. The letter was written by Master Mingxi. The tone was very polite, saying that since Qin Shuyun had entered her Xianyang Mountain, he was her disciple and had nothing to do with trivial matters in the world anymore and would not return to Kaifeng.

Qin Shuyun should be the daughter of Qin Shangshu family, Xue An's married wife, the one who divorced Xue An and went to the mountain to become a Taoist nun.

Qin Chaoxu felt sorry for his daughter, Xue Xianggui blamed himself and was angry, and the two old men sighed.

At this time, footsteps came from outside.

Everyone turned around and saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walking in, followed by many people, and Zhao Pu was also back.

"Lord Zhan!" Qin Chaoxu stood up and ran towards Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao shocked him, "Master Qin..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the letter was stuffed into his hand.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came together and took a look. When they saw the signature of "Master Mingxi", they felt a chill pass over them.

"Sir Zhan! My little daughter was impulsive. A good daughter is better than her father! If she knew that her mother-in-law had passed away and such a big thing had happened to her family, she would definitely come back!" Qin Zhaoxu pulled Zhan Zhao, "Sir Zhan! My little girl must be under the influence at this time.

Trapped in Xianyang Mountain. I asked about it! It’s not just a Taoist temple, it’s a martial arts sect! Please help me rescue my daughter! I heard that Master Mingxi is a master of martial arts, and he kills people without blinking an eye."

Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly comforted him and said, Master Mingxi is a martial arts master from a well-known and upright family. He doesn't kill people, so don't be afraid!

After Qin Chaoxu begged Zhan Zhao, he went to beg Bai Yutang.

The old man is old and has only a daughter, so his mood is understandable, but... Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang briefly imagined the situation of going to Mingyang Mountain to ask for someone... They felt a bit scary...

When Gongsun saw that Zhao Pu had returned, but the fourth son had not, he stood up and prepared to ask Zhao Pu where his son had gone.

Just as he took two steps forward, someone suddenly appeared in front of him. He blocked the way and raised his hand, "Military advisor! My benefactor!"

Gongsun was startled by him, took a few steps back, and took a closer look at the person in front of him - he looked slightly familiar.

Li Rong looked excited and was about to introduce himself when he was pushed aside by a hand reaching out from the side.

Li Rong was pushed and staggered. Zhao Pu came over and stood between him and Gongsun.

When Gongsun saw Zhao Pu, he reached out and rummaged through his pocket. What he meant was - is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!

Sure enough, I took out a small paper bag and opened it. Inside was the snack that the fourth child loved to eat.

While Gongsun was eating snacks, he asked Zhao Pu, "Where is my son?"

"I was having dinner with Tianzun Yinhou. After dinner, I said I was going to the palace. I guess I won't come back until after dinner." Zhao Pu was in a very good mood. The bookworm was so close to him, and he started to do it as soon as he asked. He didn't even remember Li Rong.

Who is it?

The Ninth Prince was pleased with himself, and stretched out his hand to push Li Rong out, who was approaching him again.

Outside the courtyard, two shadow guards escorted Li Fan in.

The attention of everyone in the courtyard was attracted by Li Fan. They saw this confused man with dull eyes, muttering to himself, repeating over and over again, "It's you...it's you."

…”

Inexplicably, everyone thought of Xue An, who was still in the prison. Although the one was talking about "Mei'er is missing", there were subtle similarities between the two people's states.

"Why is another one so crazy?" Gongsun came over to check on Li Fan and was speechless. "How long has it been since he had a good sleep?"

"sleep?"

After being reminded by Gongsun Yi, everyone also noticed that Li Fan's two big dark circles and bloodshot eyes were not because he was crazy, but because he was too sleepy...

"Knock him out." Gongsun said to Zhao Punu.

Zhao Pu thought for a while, took a step back, and tilted his head to Li Rong beside him, which means - come on!

Li Rong was embarrassed, but when he thought about it, instead of being beaten by others, he might as well do it himself, after all, he was his nephew.

Taking a few steps forward, Li Rong saw that Li Fan really deserved a beating, so he raised his hand and punched him.

Li Fan felt dizzy and tilted his head.

Gongsun stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, nodded and signaled, "Take away the quilt and let him sleep for a day and a night."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er, who were clearing away the tea trays, both shook their heads, "There are no more guest rooms, they are all full."

"Give me a cleaner cell." Zhao Pu said, "Lock it up and make it safer."

Li Rong was a little dissatisfied and looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu said, "Just send two people from Guanyi to wait on him. You saw what he looked like just now. What if he wakes up and hurts someone?"

Li Rong hesitated.
