“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
I saw a slight noise coming from the left side in front of me.
Huo Sang and Zhou Li drew their bows and arrows again and aimed in that direction.
Simuqiao also aimed his crossbow at that position.
At the same time, several guards brought by Zhou Li also rode their horses and surrounded that direction.
This time, Huo Sang's arrow shot out first, and then he heard the guard who had surrounded him shout.
"Sir, it was shot!"
"What is it?" Si Muqiao asked curiously.
"If Xiao Wang is not mistaken, it should be a little white fox."
As soon as Huo Sang finished speaking, he saw the guard dismount from his horse and pick up a snow-white little white fox from the grass.
Oh, no.
At this moment, because it had been hit by three arrows, its legs and ears were all stained with bright red blood, and it no longer looked white at all.
"It's really a little white fox. Prince Huo is a great archer!" Zhou Li couldn't help but praise him.
"Thank you." Hawthorne smiled shyly.
Si Muqiao took this opportunity to dismount from his horse, walked up to the little white fox and stared at it.
"This little guy looks really good. We can give him treatment and keep him alive before putting him in a zoo."
After Si Muqiao finished speaking, he reached out to touch the little guy's fur.
However, the little white fox, whose head was not too big, suddenly bared its teeth at Si Muqiao and wanted to bite her.
"Don't be so rude!" Hawthorne immediately walked over and spoke when he saw this.
As he scolded, he reached out and held the little guy who was hit by the arrow in his arms.
Simuqiao and Tangyuan were surprised to find out.
The little white fox, which was originally very frightened and resistant and wanted to bite people, suddenly became much more obedient after falling into Huo Sang's arms.
Simuqiao even saw a hint of grievance and discomfort in its eyes.
“???” Si Muqiao.
Seeing Si Muqiao's face full of surprise and curiosity, Huo Sang couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
"Sister Qiao Qiao, have you forgotten? I have been able to communicate closely with various small animals since I was a child."
As soon as Hawthorne said this, many past scenes suddenly emerged in Si Muqiao's mind.
In those scenes, Hawthorne, who liked to follow her around and call her Sister Qiao Qiao, was indeed naturally popular with animals.
Whether it was rabbits, horses, chickens, ducks, geese, etc., they all listened to Hawthorne.
One time when they were out playing, they encountered a small enemy squad.
Hawthorne tried to communicate with the horse under his enemy.
As a result, the horses were really persuaded to throw the enemy to the ground like crazy and trample on them.
"I remember now. You are really the best." Si Muqiao could not think of any other words except to praise.
Then, I saw a very bright and beautiful light in her eyes.
"Then after my zoo is built, can I invite you to help tame them?"
"If Sister Qiao Qiao doesn't mind me, then of course you can." Hawthorne gave her a sweet smile.
"No, no, how could I possibly dislike you, really."
"Empress, Prince Huo, should we send someone to send this little white fox back first?" Zhou Li appeared at the right time and interrupted their conversation.
"Wait a moment, I will treat its wound first."
"After applying the medicine and bandaging it, put it in a cage first and send it back later."
"Yes." Zhou Li nodded.
"Tangyuan, bring my medicine box over here."
"Yes, Master."
After placing the medicine box next to Si Muqiao, Tang Yuan looked at Huo Sang and spoke.
"Prince Huo, let me hold this little white fox."
"Miss Tangyuan, this little guy is frightened. I'm afraid he will attack others except Xiao Wang."
Tangyuan stood there hesitating for three seconds, then tentatively reached out to the little white fox.
As a result, as soon as she stretched out her hand, she saw the little white fox lying in Huo Sang's arms, who was very quiet and obedient, suddenly stretched out its fangs at her.
Tangyuan quickly withdrew his hand.
"This... this little guy reacts too quickly."
"It's okay, Tangyuan, just wait aside and let Prince Huo hold it."
After saying that, Si Muqiao approached Huo Sang and began to treat the wounds on the little white fox.
She first pulled out the arrow from the little white fox's body, then disinfected and applied medicine, and then bandaged it.
Throughout the whole process, the little white fox was very cooperative.
Tang Yuan, Zhou Li and others were stunned by what they saw.
After the little white fox's wound was bandaged, Si Muqiao spoke.
"Prince Huo, Lord Zhou, let's continue to go inside."
"If you encounter prey again in the future, try to see if you can shoot them and bring them back while protecting yourself."
"Yes, I obey your command." Zhou Li nodded.
"Yeah, okay." Hawthorne also nodded.
**
In the palace, the morning court session in which Murong Qingli proposed the reforms had just ended.
There are still very obvious bloodstains on the pillars of the Golden Throne Hall.
The bloodstain was left by an old minister who had strongly opposed Murong Qingli's reforms and hit his head against the pillar.
The excuse used is simply that Your Majesty's actions are against the organizational system and will shake the foundation of the country.
Court officials were assigned to various positions, whether they were sent to remote areas or stayed in Beijing, all according to the organizational system.
And now, Your Majesty says reform is in order.
He only said one word, and the court officials everywhere had to change their posts every now and then.
This was undoubtedly huge bad news for those ministers.
If this continues, how can they consolidate their power and rule their region?
Therefore, there was almost unanimous opposition in the court.
Even if Feng Liuyu and a few other ministers jumped out to express their agreement, they were quickly suppressed by the voices of opposition.
Faced with this situation, Murong Qingli did not change his words.
He said very strongly that this move must be implemented no matter what.
Then, someone jumped out and hit the pillar.
The man who hit his head against the pillar had blood gushing out of his forehead. He looked extremely tragic and heroic, causing a commotion in the court.
But Murong Qingli demoted the man who hit the pillar without blinking an eye and had him dragged away.
He also said that if anyone still wanted to hit the pillar, go ahead!
As the emperor, he could be kind enough to help prepare a coffin for him!
Seeing how cold-blooded, tyrannical and tyrannical he was, the ministers present lowered their heads and remained silent.
Next, Murong Qingli announced other reform regulations.
Compared with the previous one, the following regulations still made the other court officials tremble with fear.
What?
Your Majesty, do you want to establish an anonymous recommendation and complaint system?
What?
Your Majesty has proposed preferential policies for the families of soldiers?
What what?
Your Majesty also said that there should be a reward and commendation system for the soldiers on the front line?
And make decisions such as paying pensions and erecting monuments for the soldiers who died in the war?
…
The court officials were dizzy from the impact of these systems, but they did not dare to say a word in front of Murong Qingli.
It was not until the announcement of the adjournment of the court that the ministers wiped the cold sweat from their heads, hunched over and lowered their heads as they left the Golden Palace.
"Hey, Old Chen, the world is going to change!"
"Hush, keep your voice down. I've said it before, our Majesty is extremely cruel and ruthless."
"Look, even if everyone is against it, what effect will it have?"
"Let it be! Ouch!"
"Tell me, Your Majesty, why did you do this?"
"Is there a possibility that His Majesty is displeased with the Si family?"
"So you first deliberately give them various honors, and then wait for them to become arrogant before stepping on them harshly?"
A voice suddenly sounded.
