"No, I brought a veil, I can use the veil."
Tu Shan Lingxi realized that it was fortunate she had brought extra things with her.
Although this was a spur-of-the-moment decision, I had these things in my pocket beforehand.
This veil was chosen from the Imperial Advisor's warehouse. It's woven from ice silkworm silk, so it's fireproof and waterproof—a truly fine piece.
Moreover, ice silkworm silk is extremely rare. Only one piece was obtained from so many silkworms, which was used to make a veil, which was then brought out by Tu Shan Lingxi.
When the little fox put on the veil, she was dressed in a white dress, her slender figure like a celestial maiden descending to earth, elegant and charming in every gesture.
Tu Shan Lingxi was dressed in white, her hair was gently tied up, adorned with a pearl hairpin and large pearl hair ornaments, making the scenery around her snow-white neck even more alluring.
The woman, Su'e, was as slender as a willow branch, with bright eyes and white teeth. Although her face was obscured by a veil, it only fueled the imagination.
This outfit, while slightly better than before, is still eye-catching enough.
Yi Changfeng couldn't help but rub his forehead. This little one was just too alluring. He suspected that even tattered clothes and burlap wouldn't be enough to conceal her radiance.
But the little fox was quite satisfied with herself. She shook her head from side to side, and the veil seemed to be stuck to her face, refusing to fall off.
"Alright, let's hurry up and follow them to see if the person I'm looking for is there."
Tu Shan Lingxi deliberately acted furtively. One moment she was a dignified and elegant young lady, and the next she turned back into that lively little fox.
"Wait, who is Xi'er going to see?"
Yi Changfeng held her tightly, with such great strength that he almost couldn't hold her back. He was now marveling to himself, "Is this the power of a great demon?"
"I need to find Yin Yi. That guy killed the person most important to me, and I'm going to kill him myself to avenge him!"
Tu Shan Lingxi said bitterly, adding that she also wanted to kill the bloodline of that snake demon. What kind of thing dared to want the heart of her own Grand Preceptor!
The little fox will never forget how that woman could bewitch the foolish King Yin Yi into killing the Grand Tutor with just a casual remark.
Only each ruler of the Yin Kingdom has the right to kill his own Grand Tutor.
In this life, she will not give them the chance to ascend the throne!
“Wait, why doesn’t Xi’er go to the post station to find them? Judging by the days, they should have arrived in the capital by now.”
Although Yi Changfeng did not know who the person who was so important to the little fox was, he was afraid of touching on Xi'er's sad memories.
However, since Xi'er dislikes them, she should do everything in her power to help the little fox.
"Alright, let's go to the post station then."
Tu Shan Lingxi originally wanted to follow the group of soldiers to find Yin Yi, since they were all ordered by the tyrant to guard Yin Yi.
However, Yi Changfeng's words also make sense. The post stations were places where envoys from various vassal states or tribes were arranged to stay when they arrived in a locality.
It's quite possible that Yin Yi and his group will stay there. As the crown princes of the northern vassal states, they should at least be provided with a place to rest.
Thinking of this, Tu Shan Lingxi and Yi Changfeng hurriedly went to the post station, hoping to catch them in the act.
However, when they arrived, the post station was empty, with only a few scattered figures.
Yi Changfeng led Tu Shan Lingxi to a secluded place and gave her some instructions.
"Xi'er, wait here. I'll go ask around and find out where they are."
"good."
Tu Shan Lingxi nodded, her bright black eyes blinking, her long, feather-like eyelashes fluttering, making Yi Changfeng's heart soften.
Yi Changfeng temporarily put aside his thoughts, turned around and walked out. When he arrived at the post station, he knocked on the door quite politely.
"I have been traveling day and night and would like to ask the innkeeper for a bowl of water."
"Please come in, young master."
The newcomers were initially impatient and wanted to kick the man out, but seeing that Yi Changfeng's mannerisms were unusual, resembling that of a noble young master, they knew they couldn't afford to offend someone like him.
So they quickly invited the person in, politely brought over a pot of tea, and inquired about the situation.
"Young master, may I ask where you are from, and what brings you to the capital?"
Yi Changfeng immediately understood what she meant, so he dealt with her while also trying to find out more.
"Shopkeeper, I come from the northern desert. I was traveling to the capital with an envoy, but we encountered a group of bandits along the way."
"As a guard, I was trying to drive away the bandits, but unfortunately I got separated from them. Do you know where my lord and his son have gone?"
The identity that Yi Changfeng fabricated for himself was quite interesting. He deliberately said that he was just an accompanying guard, and no one would care whether there was one more person or one less person.
That makes perfect sense.
Sure enough, the man didn't suspect anything. Seeing that Yi Changfeng had an extraordinary bearing, he didn't want to say much, but he still leaned close to his ear and whispered something.
"My lord, the Marquis of Bei and his son have just left, but they were taken away by government troops. I advise you to stay as far away as possible."
Yi Changfeng frowned slightly, suddenly remembering a group of soldiers who had just passed by. There seemed to be someone in the middle of the group, but he couldn't see clearly.
Now that I think about it, that person must have been Yin Yi. I just don't know where they were taken.
"Thank you for informing me. I am just an ordinary person. Now that the Marquis of Bei and his son are unharmed, I am relieved. I will take my leave."
After Yi Changfeng finished speaking, he hurriedly left. He needed to tell the little fox the news as soon as possible, as the two of them had probably come to the wrong place.
However, when Yi Changfeng arrived at the place the two had agreed upon, the alley was already empty and deserted.
"Xi'er!"
Yi Changfeng was immediately filled with anxiety. Where had Xi'er gone? He couldn't find her anywhere!
He searched the surrounding area thoroughly, but still couldn't find the little fox.
Yi Changfeng was going crazy. He had lost his Xi'er. What if something unexpected happened? What should he do?
"Xi'er, I deserve to die!"
...
As for where Tu Shan Lingxi is, we have to go back to what we just said—
The little fox was originally sitting obediently by the wall, waiting for Yi Changfeng to come and meet it. However, the little fox had sharp ears and heard a voice from afar.
"My lord, my wife is thirsty. May we stop to rest and have a cup of tea?"
That voice, that voice the little fox would never forget until her death—it belonged to that scumbag!
Her ears perked up, her heart filled with hatred. The little fox paid no heed to Yi Changfeng, her figure moving like a ghost as she followed the sound.
When the little fox arrived at the teahouse, he saw several people sitting at a table, drinking tea.
The soldiers had already surrounded the group, and if the little fox hadn't had such good eyesight, it wouldn't have been able to see Yin Yi's face at all.
