"Keep the foxtail!"

Xiao Yuqing stood in front of Ji Changan, and Ji Changan even saw sharp nails looming on Xiao Yuqing's fingertips.

It was only at this moment that Ji Changan realized clearly and directly that this young man who had been with him for several days was a monster.

Getting along these days, Ji Changan knew that the young man was not his opponent, but he did not choose to fight, but took off the saber from his waist and threw it away.

Xiao Yuqing also seemed to relax a little because of his action, but he still looked at Ji Changan warily.

Ji Changan raised his hand and looked directly into Xiao Yuqing's eyes: "I don't mean anything malicious. Let's talk, shall we?"

"If foxtail grass has any taboos, I'm sorry, I don't know about it."

Xiao Yuqing gradually calmed down, withdrew the sharpness of her fingertips, and still insisted: "The foxtail grass is a sacred object of our clan, you can't take it away."

Ji Changan tried his best to explain to Xiao Yuqing: "The lord I am loyal to has been poisoned. My lord is an emperor. Emperor, do you understand? Just like the most important person in your tribe, everyone should listen to him .”

"If my lord dies, many, many people will die. Everyone will have no way to live a good life."

"I need a foxtail plant to save him. I didn't know the owner of the foxtail plant, so I picked it directly. I am willing to exchange other things, can I? I only need one plant."

"I know it's tough, but I really need it."

Thinking of the preciousness of foxtail grass, Ji Changan promised: "I will never mention this place or the fox family to others. I will tell others that I bought this foxtail grass from a hermit. Never Bring any trouble to the Fox Clan."

……

"You go."

Hearing the answer he wanted, Ji Changan hesitated instead: "Do I need to see the person in charge of the fox clan?"

"No need." Xiao Yuqing asked, "Tell me your name."

"Ji Changan. Daliang Yingzhou, Ji Changan."

"Ji Changan." Xiao Yuqing looked at Ji Changan's face, as if he wanted to remember him firmly, with a cold tone: "Remember what you said before. Don't tell anyone about this place. Although my strength is not good, But there are countless strong people in the clan, and they will never show mercy to those who invade. If you break your oath, even if you travel thousands of miles, I will be with you forever."

"What do you need? I can look for it, find it and send it back to you as compensation." Ji Changan felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"No need! I just hope that you will never appear in this mountain forest again in the future."

……

"General Ji? General Ji?"

The lieutenant beside him secretly pushed Ji Changan.

Ji Changan came back to his senses, facing the minister beside him, he apologized, "Lord Li, I'm sorry."

Master Li smiled and waved his hands, and then said with concern: "General Ji looks very tired recently."

"Thank you Master Li for your concern, Ji is fine."

The two exchanged a few more words before Mr. Li took his leave.Ji Changan rubbed his forehead and climbed into the carriage.

The lieutenant deliberately slowed down the speed of the carriage. He knew that his general had been in poor condition these days, so he thought he could take a rest for the general.

Sitting in the carriage, Ji Changan frowned, propped his forehead with his hand, and whispered, "Is it him?"

At this moment, he suddenly felt movement in the car, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that the side cushion was lifted, and a little furry thing came out of it.

Although the fur that used to be like snow has become gray now, and his figure has become much smaller, Ji Changan still recognized it at a glance: "It's you!"

The lieutenant is outside the car: "General?"

"Nothing. Just thinking about something."

"Oh."

The fox lightly jumped onto his lap, got into his neckline, and snuggled up to his chest.Ji Changan could feel that he was trembling slightly, as if he was very scared.

Arriving at the gate of the General's Mansion, Ji Changan happened to be wearing a Confucian scholar's oversized robe today, and covered the little fox in his sleeves before getting out of the car and walking all the way into the study.

"Everyone go down, I didn't call anyone, don't bother me. By the way, let's bring some food in first."

A few plates of dim sum were brought in, and the aroma of the dim sum made the study, which was still somewhat empty, immediately feel warmer.Ji Changan watched everyone leave, the doors and windows were closed, and then he went to the inner room of the study and took off his cloak.

Xiao Yuqing jumped to the ground and yelled at him several times.

"You can't change back into human form?" Ji Changan became serious.

Even if he didn't know much about monsters, he knew from the folklore that he must have suffered a serious injury if he couldn't transform back into a human form.

Xiao Yuqing nodded, then turned to show him his own tail. Between the three originally fluffy fox tails, there was a chain that was neither gold nor silver.It seems to be the ghost of this chain.

"How do I get this out?"

The fox visibly lowered down, even its ears drooped.

Ji Changan's heart softened, and he touched the fox's head: "It's okay, I will find a way."

"I heard that Daoist Yanyun caught a white fox demon while traveling in the clouds a few days ago. Could it be you?"

Fox nodded.

Ji Changan's face turned serious.This Daoist Yanyun was the one who cured His Majesty's poisoning disease before. His Majesty trusted him very much, and even said in the court that he would be made a national teacher.It was only when all the ministers unanimously opposed it.But its grace is still very grand.This time the little fox escaped by himself, and there will definitely be a chase and search afterwards.

Ji Chang'an suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "This time, but that foxtail plant got you involved?"

The fox didn't nod or shake his head.

Ji Chang'an understood that the foxtail plant was probably the reason.He felt a pain in his heart, unable to tell whether it was regret or what it was like, he said firmly, "I will protect you."

"I have spent a few days with that Taoist Yanyun, and I don't think he is a person who beats and kills indiscriminately. Anyway, we can't untie this chain, so why don't we go directly to him and explain it clearly."

That night, Ji Changan took Xiao Yuqing to visit that Taoist Yanyun.

Daoist Yanyun originally lived in the palace, but after His Majesty recovered from his illness, he resolutely refused to stay in the palace.But His Majesty would never let him go, so he simply built a Taoist temple on a mountain not far from the palace.Even if Daoist Yanyun is going to travel in the clouds, he has to leave a disciple behind so that His Majesty can contact him conveniently.

Now, Taoist Yanyun is living in that Taoist temple.

Ji Changan didn't want people to know Xiao Yuqing's existence, so he sneaked up the mountain without calling anyone.

When he got to the gate of the Taoist temple, he saw a little Taoist boy standing in front of the gate.

Dao Tong leaned over his luggage: "Master said that there will be a distinguished guest coming tonight, so he specially sent a little boy to greet him."

Ji Changan followed Daotong into a living room, where Taoist Master Yanyun was waiting. When he saw Ji Changan coming in, he got up and poured him a cup of tea: "General Ji, please sit down."

"Since the Taoist priest knows that I will come, he must also know my reason for coming." Ji Changan said directly without beating around the bush, "I'm here to intercede for him."
