[Comprehensive] Demon Fox Hiding Horse

The people who came here were the six grand masters of the Yan Kingdom who brought the earl here to the Twelve Kingdoms, and his chosen king, Shanglong Komatsu.

This pair of monarchs and ministers are both fetuses. Now that King Yan Shanglong has ruled the Yan Kingdom for 500 years, it has become a legend in the Twelve Kingdoms, and it has been admired or admired by countless people time and time again. mentioned.

And Rao is used to seeing dragons and phoenixes among all kinds of people, and even the gods abducted a (... only?) Tibetan horse as a lover. At this time, seeing Yan Wang Shanglong, he couldn't help but secretly praised it in his heart good--

Yan Wang, who slowly walked out of the shadows, had a straight and handsome face.

A pair of tiger eyes are shining brightly, black thick sword eyebrows fly into the temples slantingly, and even though the angular handsome face is smiling, it still gives people a sense of calm and prestige, so even though he is dressed as a commoner, but The whole body belongs to the bearing of a king, but it cannot be concealed no matter what.

Even if his figure is seen from a close distance, it is full of oppressive and tall, but at the same time, it does not leave people with the impression of a "strong man" - if you really want to say it, he is probably upright Words such as a manly man describe a person like King Yan, right?

——Although compared with the tall master, the Yanguo Qilin who entered the room with him looks like the Sixth Tai Yanqi with the appearance of a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, because of the difference in height between the two parties In contrast, it looks more like a child...

Unobtrusively twitching the corners of the mouth at the (pretentious?) old-fashioned expression on the Sixth Wife's face, which was in stark contrast to the Zhengtai's appearance, Cangma greeted each other with King Yan and Yanqi under the Earl's concise introduction.

As expected, King Yan was as known to Zang Ma as he was a man with a forthright and informal personality.

He didn't make any excuses for the "eavesdropping" behavior of himself and his own unicorn, who didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he didn't put on the airs of the king of a country to fight with Tibetan horses. After exchanging one or two necessary polite greetings, he directly brought the topic back to Taiqi: "I just heard the two mention Taiqi's horn. Is there really a way to regenerate his severed horn?"

Although due to various twists and turns, he has not yet sought help from Bixia Xuanjun Yuye, the leader of the Pengshan female fairy, for the matter of Taiqi, but Shang Long is somewhat clear in his heart that the matter of Taiqi is not as easy as he thought.

——No, maybe it’s not impossible, but…

Maybe...it's too late.

The reason why unicorns are unicorns is because they have the horns of unicorns.

Qilin is a creature with two forms, they can freely change from human form to animal form, or from animal form to human form.

Now, however, Taiki's horn is broken, which is equivalent to sealing his animal form, so that he can only survive in human form.

But when Liutai found Taiqi at the other end of the "eclipse", he miraculously maintained his animal form, and soon after Liutai initiated the "eclipse", he easily brought Taiqi back to " Here", it also fully shows that Taiqi, as a unicorn, is still recognized by the Dao of Heaven, and is an existence like a fairy above the uncle who can cross the virtual sea.

This is completely inconsistent with the various descriptions of the unicorn that has lost its horn that the sixth wife inquired from the fairy Yuye some time ago!

Is this because Taiqi is a black unicorn, born with powerful strength enough to withstand the pain of losing its horn, and still barely survive as a unicorn, or... for some other reason?

Regarding this point, neither Shang Long, Liu Tai nor the Earl could give a definite answer.

Because in the beginning, Taiqi was indeed able to transform into a beast form by relying on the power of another unicorn in the Earl's shop——Qinglin.

And Qinglin...

Thinking of what Liutai said before, "That guy feels completely different from our Qilin from the Twelve Kingdoms. Except for the similar aura belonging to the Qilin, the other is almost like two different creatures." The look on Shang Long's face He became more serious, and raised his hand to stop his own unicorn who opened his mouth impulsively after hearing his question——

"Sixth wife."

The blond boy who was blocked silently pursed his lips, but obediently did not continue to ask any more questions.

Kurama turned his head and exchanged glances with the earl.

"We can't make 100 percent guarantees on this right now."

——The one who responded was the Earl with a solemn face.

Hearing the words, Shang Long made an action wishing to hear more about it.

Zangma pondered for a moment.

"About whether the unicorn's severed horn can be regenerated, and what conditions must be met if it can be regenerated, how much do you and Yan Taifu know, His Majesty King Yan?"

Shang Long frowned and thought for a while, "Sixth Tai and I don't know much about this matter—after all, the fact that a unicorn has its horns broken is too unbelievable. did the same thing.”

The sixth wife on the side nodded in agreement: "Well, that's why we wanted to go to Pengshan to ask Yuye for help, thinking that if it was Chang Yuye, the fairy who had been in charge of all the fairies on Pengshan as the spokesperson of the Queen Mother of the West since not knowing how long ago If you do, you might know something."

"Well..." Zangma agreed, "It makes sense. But the Earl also explained to me his worries about some decisions that Queen Mother Xi might make after she knew about Taiqi. I don't think his worries were superfluous. "

"So we didn't tell Yuye about this in the end." The sixth wife sighed greatly, "I just asked a few words around and got some vague answers."

As he said that, he looked past the earl and Zangma and his party, and focused on Taiqi who was still in a coma: "According to Yuba, a unicorn that has lost its horn cannot change back into a beast shape—because, I lost the most important thing as a beast."

"But as you can see, what Tai Qi now shows is the appearance of a Qilin."

"Similarly, the unicorn that has lost its horn can only be regarded as a temporary 'human being' at best because it has been sealed as a unicorn. Therefore, the time that was originally stopped after finding the king will return to Qilin's body consumes the rest of Qilin's life bit by bit."

Having said this, Mrs. Liu clenched her fists tightly, her voice became unnaturally choked.

Seeing this, Shang Long, who was sitting beside him, stretched out his hand silently, and gently stroked his hair.

Liu Tai, who was somewhat repulsed by Shang Long's gesture of comforting him like a child, obediently did not make any resistance this time, even though she was treated like this in front of many outsiders.

"Although Taiqi has always maintained the appearance of a unicorn, so it is impossible to know whether his time has really begun to pass, but if his horn cannot return to its original shape in a day, then..."

Then, Taiqi will always have the danger of losing its lifespan.

This is something Liutai absolutely does not want to see.

Raising his head, he looked at Zangma expectantly with a pair of big cat eyes with a hint of water, and he didn't realize how lethal his expression was. The voice of the blond beauty was still trembling: "You have a way to save Back to the little guy, right? The Earl told me, you are a very remarkable person!"

"...Hmm!"——The poor demon fox who was attacked by Xiao Zhengtai's shining eyes and shot directly at the center room.

Silently turning away his eyes, Kurama gave the black-haired beauty who was blinking innocently at the side a "vicious" look——

Don't add this unnecessary stress please!

It's really easy to feel guilty about living up to Xiao Zhengtai's full expectations!

The count turned his head away from him.

Kurama sighed deeply.Turning his face back, he put on a solemn expression, no longer dodging to meet Shang Liutai's shining eyes full of expectation.

"I'll try my best." Yaohu said solemnly.

Liutai's small face seemed to be lit up instantly because of this promise from Zangma!

"Thank you!" he said loudly, stood up and gave Kurama a deep salute.

Seeing this, Yaohu quickly waved his hands, "I haven't done anything yet, I can't afford such a great gift from a celebrity."

After hearing the words, Mrs. Six straightened up, and showed a sunny smile to Zangma: "You can just call me Mrs. Liu, little guy... I will leave the matter of Taiqi to you, Lord Zangma!"

The demon fox nodded slightly.However, "Before that, I hope that Yan Taifu and His Majesty King Yan can tell me some detailed information about Dai Guo's rebellion before, and it is best to know who was there when King Tai Qi disappeared when Tai Qi finally died stayed with him in the palace."

"what do you mean……"

The smile on Shang Long's face disappeared.

He knew what Zang Ma was implying, because when Tai Qi with the broken horn was brought back by Liu Tai, he himself had similar suspicions.

"The one who was able to cut off Taiqi's horn in one blow without being caught off guard must be someone who is extremely trusted by him?"

Zangma ignored the changes in the expressions on the faces of Shang Long and Liutai, and continued to analyze on his own.

"The disappearance of Qilin and Wang happened to be a great opportunity for the conspirators to usurp power."

"Perhaps...the answer can be easily obtained without investigating the events of the past." He smiled, and his gentle and handsome face, which was not threatening at all, suddenly became a bit...shockingly beautiful: "—— As long as you know who Dai Guo is now, he is exercising the power to govern the country in place of the king."

Shang Long frowned and pondered for a while.

"Although countries are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, it is not against this rule to send some people to 'travel' in the country of Dai and listen to some news by the way."

he said slowly.

"It's just... What's the point of knowing who attacked Taiqi at the beginning? These are issues that need to be considered after Taiqi recovers, right?"

"Do not."

Facing Shang Long's question, Zangma smiled.

"On the contrary."

He said.

"My plan can only be carried out smoothly if the murderer is found."

"After all, in such a short period of time, where do we go to find another broken horn that perfectly fits Taiqi's breath?"

"Eh?!!"

——The moment the voice fell, a certain three people in the room couldn't help but exclaimed in unison.
