I heard you have nine tails

Mu Ze, bathing in grace, is indeed a sign for the prince.

Tan Chang was a little dazed looking at the two words on the paper. After realizing it, he wrote it slowly, then sat and read it for a long time, and pushed the paper towards Li Lin with his right front paw.

Ben Fox's writing is much better than yours!

Li Lin easily guessed his thoughts and sneered. "We're leaving tomorrow, so don't make any noise tonight."

Probably because he was in a good mood soon to leave, Li Lin asked Tan Chang's nest to be put away, and Tan Chang slept on the dragon bed with him.The few times that Tan Chang and Li Lin shared the same bed were used as scarves, and they fell asleep unconsciously.This will jump up soberly, and naturally feel that everything is fresh, bouncing on the left and scratching on the right.

Jinse helped Li Lin take off his coat and hair crown. Li Lin looked at the restless red-haired fox on the bed, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The smile softened the aura of the whole body, and those red phoenix eyes with a smile were even more indescribably seductive.

Jinse blushed, hurriedly unfastened her belt, and left.

Li Lin went to the bed and sat down, and grabbed the little fox, his voice slightly hoarse. "You like Gu's bed so much?"

Of course, the prince's bed is not something ordinary people can sleep on, not to mention, the camel's hair mattress and wool quilt are light and soft, and so warm!Tan Chang screamed excitedly.

"Then let's sleep alone from now on." Li Lin's fingers landed on Tan Chang's head, and along the soft hair, slid all the way to his back and tail.

Tan Chang just raised his head, and was stunned when he saw it.The master unbuttoned his hair, had already taken off his robe, only wearing obscene clothes, and was taking off his boots.It looked...it seemed...Tan Chang blushed inexplicably, and he couldn't help but feel glad that his hair was red, and he couldn't tell when he blushed.

Li Lin lay on the bed, and the little fox suddenly became awkward and rubbed against the bed.

Li Lin snapped his fingers, pulled him into his arms, patted his tail, wrapped the quilt up, and wrapped Tan Chang tightly. "Be quiet and sleep."

When they set off early in the morning, Emperor Jing and Emperor did not show up. The elders of the cabinet, the empress, and the three princes sent the prince and his party out of the palace together.Contrary to Li Lin's expectation, Juren from Zhenyuan Temple also came, so why should the Daoist Dongxu be worried.Although Li Ji was still a little awkward when saluting, he was in high spirits and greeted He Lu proactively.On the other hand, Li Xiao, cowering in front of his master, secretly looked at Li Lin uneasily.

Li Lin did not comment.He bid farewell to Empress Xu, then patted Li Yun on the shoulder, told Li Xiao to study hard, exchanged a few words with the cabinet elders, then got on his horse and ordered to set off without even looking at him.

According to the previously negotiated time, the people from the Ministry of Industry will take half a day to leave.Li Lin only brought his guards and his own people, and went straight out of the capital with a waist card.

Li Lin and Yao Zhiyuan made an appointment at the West Gate.According to his request, the guards all put on short clothes and pretended to be writers.The people in Zhan Shifu pretended to be staff and clerks.

A group of people did not bring women and children with them, only the accompanying palace ladies.Because Jinse and Deshan stayed behind, only Guangbai and another pair of younger court ladies, Zhuling and Zhuli, were brought with them.The three of them sat in the carriage, looking at things by the way.Li Lin, the guards, and people from Zhan Shifu all rode out on horseback.

Tan Chang was also thrown to Guangbai by Li Lin, and sat in the carriage.

He also wanted to ride a horse, so he pestered Li Lin for a long time, and he didn't eat well.But when Li Lin thought of the feat of the little fox falling from the carriage, he refused mercilessly.

Zhang Ting is a young man in his 20s.He was younger than Yang Jingrun, and he was the No. [-] scholar two years ago. Now he was writing in front of the Hanlin Academy, and was sent to Zhan Shifu by Emperor Jing He with a swipe of his pen.He is not as qualified as an old man in the Hanlin Academy, but he is highly regarded by Li Lin because of his determination to forge ahead and quick thinking.He and Yang Jingrun happened to be steady and decisive.

When they arrived at the west city gate, they saw a group of people waiting there.Yao Zhiyuan had been waiting for a long time, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li is finally here!"

"Brother Yao has been waiting for a long time." Li Lin stopped the horse and bowed his hand in return.Due to time constraints, he didn't inform Zhan Shifu's people before, but just said a few words on the road, Zhang Ting and Yang Jingrun followed behind him, and calmly stopped their horses to say hello to Yao Zhiyuan.

Zhang Ting and Yang Jingrun are no better than Li Lin, and their names are easy to find out.In particular, Zhang Ting was once the No. [-] scholar and had a better reputation, so Li Lin introduced the two of them, using only Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yang.Fortunately, Yao Zhiyuan saw that these two were aides, so he was not interested in them.

Li Lin and Yao Zhiyuan chatted for a while, then got on their horses and went forward together, and their motorcades merged together.

Sure enough, Yao Zhiyuan soon asked: "Brother Li, why is your pet missing?"

"He's on the carriage. I'm afraid he'll fall off the horse because he's playful." Li Lin replied simply.Yang Jingrun frowned slightly when he heard that the prince was still carrying a fox.

Yao Zhiyuan didn't say much.They were on their way, and they were still a little unfamiliar with each other, and they just chatted about some customs and customs along the way.Li Lin had already made preparations, and he chatted with Yao Zhiyuan fluently without feeling short of breath.

When it was time for a break, the team stopped to eat dry food. Li Lin saw a seller of candied haws, so he asked Caesar to buy a bunch, and he personally delivered them to the carriage.Yao Zhiyuan approached him curiously at first, but when he saw the female relatives around, he avoided them knowingly.On the contrary, Li Lin took the initiative and said: "It's just a few maidservants, brother Yao don't need to worry about it. There are some silks and satins in the car to bring back to Wuchang. If brother Yao is interested, just take them."

Yao Zhiyuan was not a petty person, so he looked at it casually, praised him, then waved his hand and refused.Li Lin was not surprised either. The cloth and satin were indeed not top-notch, and it was normal for the Yao family to look down on them. He had originally used them as a cover.

Tan Chang was held back in the carriage for a long time, and when he got out of the carriage, he clasped Li Lin's hand and squeaked.Li Lin patiently fed him candied haws.Tan Chang didn't have a good breakfast, and he was already hungry, so he would crunch and gnaw very vigorously.It's just that he reacted coldly to the master who had left him in the cold for a long time, and refused to let the other party touch him.

"Still angry?" As soon as Li Lin touched his finger, Tan Chang closed his ears and avoided it. Li Lin shook his head, "Aren't you afraid of the cold? You shiver when you stand outside like this for a while. It's windy while riding a horse. You really suffer." Got it?"

The little fox that got poked at the sore spot obediently let its master poke.

Zhang Ting had limited opportunities to go to Xianyang Palace. He had never seen the prince so close to his pet, so he was a little surprised. Fortunately, Yang Jingrun coughed in time, and he returned to normal.It was Yao Zhiyuan who saw Li Lin feeding the little fox candied haws with his own hands, so he felt that this person was indeed a fellow, and he got closer with his words.Li Lin naturally noticed the change, and when he went on the road again, he seemed to casually ask about the customs of Huaiyang.

Yao Zhiyuan is a warm hearted person, otherwise he wouldn't have made so many friends.Hearing that Li Lin was interested in Huaiyang, he started talking with great interest.He grew up in Huaiyang since he was a child, and he knows this place well.Little did he know that when he spoke, the two "staff" who had been silent behind Li Lin pricked up their ears at the same time.

Yao Zhiyuan didn't hide his identity, "Brother Li must also know that my younger brother is from the Yao family, all over Huaiyang. I dare not say that I know everything about it. At least I have a lot of acquaintances. If Brother Li is interested in Huaiyang, I will definitely welcome you."

Li Lin didn't respond in a hurry, but just smiled and said, "Brother Yao, you're welcome. My family is still waiting. Now I'm in a hurry, so I can't decide."

Yao Zhiyuan tried it once, and found that the other party declined the olive branch offered by him, and he appreciated the other party even more, and strongly invited him: "Brother Li is in the silk business, and there are several silk villages under the name of the Yao family. If Brother Li comes to Huaihe Yang, you can also talk about it."

This is another round of temptation. If the invitation alone is not enough, cooperating with the Yao family is indeed an irresistible temptation for businessmen.

Li Lin also showed hesitation appropriately, "Brother Yao is very kind to invite, but he is disrespectful. It's just that Gao Tang is still waiting at home... If the journey is smooth, let me know by letter, how about going to visit again?"

Li Lin's performance won Yao Zhiyuan's favor, he said with a smile: "That's natural. But brother Li is so worried about going home, it must be because he has beautiful family members beside him?"

"Brother Yao is joking, I haven't married yet." Li Lin replied.

"Not yet married?" Yao Zhiyuan repeated in disbelief. "Brother Li has been crowned, right?"

Li Lin half-truthfully replied: "I just became crowned this year, because my grandfather passed away and kept my filial piety, so I haven't married for a long time."

The two talked about the situation at home, and the distance became closer unconsciously.Li Lin saw the opportunity, and asked naturally: "The business of the Yao family must be managed by your father, Lingbo?"

Yao Zhiyuan also replied casually: "The business at home is mainly managed by the second uncle and elder brother Cong, and Jia Yan is mainly responsible for the merchants who travel far and wide."

The profit of a peddler is naturally not as good as that of a shop that collects rent on the ground.Li Lin was thinking in his heart, from this point of view, even if the Yao family was responsible for the incident in Huainan, it was probably Yao Xinsi's work.

"Brother Cong?"

"It's the eldest brother of the Erbo's family, named Yao Zhijin."

Yao Zhijin is the eldest son of Yao Xinsi,

Li Lin unhurriedly asked about Yao Zhijin's relevant information, and confirmed everything that Caesar Ming had inquired about.In order to avoid suspicion, he occasionally hides his name and tells the story of himself and Li Yun and Li Xiao.

One day later, under Li Lin's intentional win-win, Yao Zhiyuan already regarded him as a good friend.At night, a group of people stay overnight, and Yao Zhiyuan decides to book the inn.When they had dinner together, Yao Zhiyuan's eyes were fixed on Tan Chang.Li Lin specially ordered a fish for Tan Chang.Yao Zhiyuan looked enviously at Tan Chang eating the fish neatly, his fur was clean and not stained at all.

"I heard that Brother Yao has a lot of pets?" Li Lin took the initiative to ask this unmentioned topic.

Yao Zhiyuan hesitated and said, "Huh? Oh, yes, my little brother likes these furry pets."

Li Lin also felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

After dinner, the two said goodbye and went back to their rooms.Guangbai came to serve Li Lin to take a bath and rest.Li Lin propped his head to think, and occasionally poked the little fox lying next to him, who was so tired, "What do you think of Yao Zhiyuan?"

Tan Chang couldn't figure out the meaning of his question for a moment, so he nodded instinctively.

"Huh?" Li Lin made a muffled voice suddenly, "I like him? Are you willing to give him as a pet?"

Before Tan Chang had time to correct that "feeling good" and "like" were two concepts, he was stunned by Li Lin's question.No, it wouldn't be what he thought, would it?The dignified prince actually wants to give away one of his little foxes as a favor?

The fox's eyes widened in horror, as if he was very reluctant to part with himself.

Li Lin happily concluded: "If you don't want to be given to him, stay away from him and don't touch his tail."
