Chapter 405: The Loyalty of the Fox

Dai Jiangkuang glanced at the two people behind him with a cold look and said in a stern tone, "Next time you let me hear such words, don't blame me for being merciless."

The two imperial guards had been following Dai Jiang all along, and usually said some nonsense, but he didn't do anything about it. But today he suddenly got angry, and they couldn't help but feel embarrassed. They hurriedly responded, "Please forgive us, Deputy Commander. We won't do it again."

"Go down. You don't need to give instructions to Concubine Lang Gui. I will watch over her myself."

Dai Jiangkuan chased the two away and walked forward. When he turned the corner, he bumped into Shu Hong.

Dai Jiangkuan looked a little surprised, "Miss Shuhong, why are you here?"

Shu Hong knelt down and bowed respectfully before speaking, "I came here to look for Qinglu. I'll have to trouble Deputy Commander Dai with the matter of Xuesha."

She did not mention the two imperial guards talking about her concubine behind her back, and Dai Jiangkuang pretended not to know.

"It's all part of our job, there's no need to be polite."

He smiled and said seriously, "Don't worry, Miss Shuhong, I will definitely help you... help Concubine Lang Gui to find the little prince Xuesha back."

Shuhong listened to his timely change of words, lowered her eyes and pretended not to hear him, bent her knees, and said goodbye to him.

Dai Jiangkuan stared at her back for a long time, and after a while, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned around slowly.

…

Although they were looking for Xue Sha, they didn't dare to make too much noise. Si Linglong personally took Li Sheng for a walk around, but saw little Li Sheng with his head down, looking a little helpless.

"Can't find it?" Si Linglong asked her softly.

Little Li Sheng didn't dare to look up, and said in a baby voice with a little trepidation, "There are many smells of snow killing... I... I don't know where it is..."

"Why is there so much?" Si Linglong asked subconsciously, but the next second, she slapped her head.

She remembered that she had let Xue Sha go yesterday to help Gu Qingquan get rid of the patrolling imperial guards and nearby palace servants...

[I can't smell it anymore because of this! 】

Si Linglong was upset and was thinking of another way. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of little Li Sheng's small hands carefully pulling at her belt.

Looking at the boy again, he had been talking with his head down and didn't dare to look at her. It seemed that there was something more to him than his usual shyness...

Si Linglong thought about it and couldn't help but squat down to look at her.

"Fenfen, do you know where Xuesha is?"

Little Li Sheng suddenly met Si Linglong's eyes. He dodged consciously under his dark eyes and shook his head.

Si Linglong was really sure now.

The child feels guilty.

Li Sheng might know where Xue Sha is, but he chooses not to tell her. That means Xue Sha is safe, but is hiding himself.

But why hide when Xue killed a fox?

It can't be that he suddenly started losing hair all over his body and thought he was too ugly so he hid himself from people?

Apart from this, Si Linglong couldn't think of any other reason.

"Fenfen, I know you and Xuesha are good friends, but now everyone is worried about it. Can you tell me where it is hiding?"

It was also because she was confused for a moment. Even if the smell was left behind when the snow was scattered in other places yesterday, most of the smell had dissipated after a night.

Animals' sense of smell has always been to judge the final location based on the concentration.

With Li Sheng's sense of smell, he must have known where Xue Sha was hiding a long time ago.

Of course little Li Sheng knew where Xue Sha was. Even though she slept too soundly last night and woke up in the morning to hear that Xue Sha was missing, she had secretly smelled it.

But the smell of Xuesha now is not her usual smell, it is more like the smell of her own transformed form mixed with popularity.

She thought that the little prince Xuesha might have transformed.

If that was the case, she couldn't bring Linglong and others to find her.

What if everyone thinks that Snow Killer is a monster and wants to kill her? As foxes, they also have to be loyal.

Thinking of this, little Li Sheng shook his head firmly.

Si Linglong had never thought that the always obedient child could be so "rebellious" at times. She had a headache for a moment. She thought about it, then suddenly glanced at the palace maids beside her and signaled to them, "You all should leave first."

After sending everyone away, Si Linglong pulled Xiao Lisheng over again and said seriously, "Fenfen, can't you just tell me instead of telling others? Even if Xuesha has something wrong, hiding her won't solve the problem. Tell me and I'll help her."

Si Linglong believed that Xue Sha was hiding because he had lost his hair. If that was the case, she had to be found, as she was a professional.

Little Li Sheng listened to Si Linglong's words and saw her send everyone away. After thinking for a while, he looked at her carefully, "Really? Help it like Linglong helped me?"

Little Li Sheng was thinking about how Linglong had stood up for her when she was suspected of being a monster. She thought Linglong was a good person, and she loved the little prince so much that even if the little prince really transformed, she might not mind.

When Si Linglong heard this, she thought about the time when Li Sheng came to her house and asked her to roast a chicken for him, so she nodded solemnly, "Of course!"

If Xuesha was willing to behave himself, she would roast ten more chickens for him.

Little Li Sheng's eyes lit up when she heard the voice. After a while, she stretched out her little hand, held two of Si Linglong's fingers, and was about to lead her out. She looked mysterious.

"You come."
