Chapter 309: Beaten to death eighteen times

After being speechless at first, Si Linglong slowly digested the meaning of Master Yuanzun's words.

What he meant was that there would indeed be a fox in one’s life, but this fox was not Li Sheng.

But, besides Li Sheng, which other fox is available to him?

"If it's not Li Sheng, could it be Xue Sha?" Si Linglong couldn't help but mutter. Then, she laughed when she thought of her fat fox.

How is that possible?

[If anyone dares to rob Helian Yue's fox, he will be beaten to death at least eighteen times.]

However, when she muttered, Yuan Zun glanced at her slightly and said nothing more.

After Yuan Zun left, Si Linglong returned to her room. The breakfast on the table was untouched. Little Li Sheng was squatting behind a screen in the room, well-behaved and quiet.

Si Linglong walked over and looked along the screen, and saw the fat fox hiding behind the screen, with its body hidden and its tail exposed.

"Master Yuanzun is gone." Si Linglong tried to say this, and then she saw the big tail exposed outside shaking, and then the fox's head popped out from inside.

Si Linglong: ...

You really are hiding here.

Is a follow-up visit that scary?

Si Linglong thought about the cats and dogs that she had neutered in the past and how they all looked shuddering when they saw her later, and she reluctantly understood.

After coaxing Xue Sha out, the two men and the fox finally had breakfast.

Shu Hong was thinking about what Si Linglong had just said, and took advantage of the break in their meal to go out of the yard. After thinking for a while, she took out the bamboo flute hidden at her waist and blew it tentatively.

Since it happened in the yard at night, Mr. Li should be more clear about it.

As Shu Hong was thinking this, the sound of the flute stopped and she heard footsteps behind her.

Shu Hong turned around with her eyes slightly moving, but was stunned when she saw the person coming. After a moment, she immediately reacted and knelt down to salute the person. While speaking, she hid the small bamboo flute in her sleeve.

"Deputy Commander Dai."

The man who came was Dai Jiangkuang. He looked straight and energetic in his silver-embroidered uniform. When he looked at Shu Hong, there was a restrained light in his eyes. "Miss Shu Hong, what are you doing here?"

Shu Hong lowered her eyes and replied respectfully, "Your Highness heard some noise last night. I want to ask the guards on night watch so that Your Highness can rest assured."

Dai Jiangkuang looked at her and frowned slightly, "This is easy to do."

After saying that, he turned around and waved to the imperial guards who were patrolling not far away. The passerby immediately came over and bowed to Dai Jiangkuang. Dai Jiangkuang then asked, "Who were on patrol last night? Did you hear any strange noises at night?"

Two guards came out and said, "Everything was normal last night. There was no movement."

Dai Jiangkuang asked twice more and confirmed that there was no problem. He then waved his hand to send the group away and turned to Shuhong, "I think your Highness heard it wrong. If you are really worried, I will be on duty here tonight and guarantee that nothing will happen."

Shu Hong was slightly startled when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Vice-Commander Dai is busy, and I dare not trouble you to drive. If it is convenient for you, please arrange two reliable people."

Dai Jiangkuang, with his current status, couldn't really come to guard a concubine, so he followed her words and spoke in a serious tone, "Miss Shuhong has given an order, and I will obey it."

Shu Hong hurriedly bowed to him to express her fear.

Dai Jiangkuan noticed that she kept her eyes down and didn't look at him. Although he knew that this was her rule, he couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

Shu Hong has always been sensitive. Even if she didn't look up, she could always feel the other person's gaze on her face. Thinking that Lie Yi would not show up, she made a gesture to leave first.

Dai Jiangkuan rarely spoke to her. Seeing that she was about to leave after she finished speaking, he couldn't help but step forward and stop her, "Miss Shuhong."

He took big steps and came quite close to her. Shu Hong subconsciously took a big step back, but accidentally stepped on a stone behind her. She staggered and almost fell.

Dai Jiangkuan reached out to help her when he saw this, but before his hand touched her, his foot stepped on something and there was a crisp cracking sound.

Shu Hong managed to steady herself with great difficulty, dodging the other party's outstretched hand. Just as she stood still, she heard the noise.

As if realizing something, Shuhong reached into her sleeves, but found nothing there.

At the same time, Dai Jiangkuan just lifted his foot and saw a bamboo flute the size of a knuckle under his black leather boots, which had been broken into two sections.
