When there were fewer and fewer soldiers patrolling around, Xie Fei and Zhou Xing broke directly into the tent.

"Who is it?" Xie Zhixing stood up quickly when he saw someone breaking in. The words that were about to come out of his mouth stopped immediately after he saw Xie Fei.

"Why are you here?" He stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "This is the camp of the Northern Army. How dare you break in without permission!"

"Shh." Xie Fei made a gesture to keep quiet and whispered, "I'm here to look for you."

"Why?" Xie Zhixing asked puzzledly.

Xie Fei said helplessly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came all the way to me in search of you, but I just happened to want to come and see you, so I stopped by."

When Xie Zhixing heard what he said, his whole body stiffened and his face turned pale.

"But I'm glad you're okay." Xie Fei patted his shoulder and looked at the fox on the table behind him.

The fox was snow-white all over, shaped like a young fox, with golden eyes sparkling with light as it sized them up.

Xie Zhixing also noticed it, and his expression inevitably became a little nervous. He stood between the man and the fox and said quickly: "You have seen me, leave quickly."

"Young Master, I didn't come to you just for this matter."

Xie Zhixing asked in surprise: "What else?"

Xie Fei smiled and said, "Young Master, you are going to be a great general in the future. Do you need a counselor who can help you with your plans?"

Xie Zhixing suddenly realized that this person had come to seek refuge with him.

"If it's Mr. Beilu, I'd be willing, but it's still a little early outside." Xie Zhixing explained: "I have no military merits yet, maybe..."

"I understand. I just told you in advance." Xie Fei interrupted him and asked him about what happened in the past half month.

Xie Zhixing hesitated for a moment, invited them behind the screen, and whispered: "I fell off the cliff that day, and it was this divine fox that saved me."

He carefully observed Xie Fei's expression, fearing that he didn't believe it, but he didn't expect to see Xie Fei hooking his finger at the little fox with an indifferent expression.

The little fox stretched out its paw from the table and placed it in Xie Fei's palm.

"This fox does look smart." Xie Fei pinched the little fox's pink paw pads and asked, "Are you going to keep it? Have you given it a name?"

"I call him Baibai." Xie Zhixing scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "It seems to like this name too."

"Bai Bai." Xie Fei whispered the name and exchanged a glance with Zhou Xing beside him.

It was indeed it, the system of the New Earth server, the OL they were familiar with.

Half a month ago, after the Northern Army was ambushed, Xie Zhixing accidentally fell off a cliff. When he woke up, he saw the little fox squatting next to him.

All the injuries on my body have healed, as if I were in a dream.

The little fox spoke human words, but it seemed that only he could hear them.

The first words he said to him when they first met made Xie Zhixing confused.

"Xie Zhixing, you will be the future ruler of the world, and I am here to help you."

Xie Zhixing did not dare to tell other people, including Xie Fei and others, about what he said about being the common ruler of the world. Wasn't this asking him to rebel?

But when he thought of what the little fox said next, he fell silent.

Xie Fei and Zhou Xing listened to everything he said, and there must be a lot of hidden secrets.

The two communicated silently with their eyes, and finally decided to confess to Xie Zhixing.

"Mr. Xie should know something more important, right?" Xie Fei asked in a deep voice.

Xie Zhixing raised his eyes and looked at him, his heart was shocked and filled with mixed emotions.

He felt that Mr. Beilu seemed to know a lot of things, and no matter what he said, it was as if he had already known it.

He smiled bitterly and said, "What else do you think, Mr. Beilu?"

"For example, your background."

Xie Fei's words were like throwing a stone into the lake. It was small, but it caused huge waves.

Xie Zhixing looked into Xie Fei's eyes, remaining silent. There was a storm in his eyes, but he endured it without saying anything.

"How did you know that, sir?"

Xie Fei held his chin with his hand, and stroked the fox's soft fur with his other hand, and smiled: "What if I said I knew it from the beginning?"

"Impossible!" Xie Zhixing stood up and said sternly, "It's impossible for anyone else to know about this. If it was the old men from the previous dynasty, it would be fine, but you look so young, and I've never met you before. How did you know this?"

Xie Fei and Zhou Xing had already prepared their wording for his series of answers.

Zhou Xing grabbed Xie Fei's hand that was touching the fox, put it in his palm, and said coldly: "Princess Meng Fuge of Qing was once a close friend of the Crown Princess Lin Xue'an of the previous dynasty, and Prince Qing and the Crown Prince were also sworn brothers."

"The last emperor of the previous dynasty was extremely licentious. The Zhou family held military power at the time. Their eldest son, the current emperor, led his troops to rebel, forced the emperor to abdicate, and massacred all the members of the Xie family. At that time, all the guards of the Eastern Palace escorted the Crown Princess to leave, but she was rescued by Princess Qing. The Crown Princess was already ten months pregnant, and she was frightened and gave birth to a premature baby. She gave birth to the Crown Prince's posthumous child, handed it to Princess Qing, and then hanged herself to death."

"Enough!" Xie Zhixing slammed the table, interrupting Zhou Xing's words.

The people outside heard the noise and asked hurriedly, "Sir, what happened?"

Xie Zhixing calmed down and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine, you all go down."

The person outside said hesitantly, "Thank you, General, for letting us protect you outside."

"No, you go down first."

"Yes."

The guards outside couldn't persuade him and finally left.

Xie Fei asked curiously: "It seems that Xie Ting also knows your true identity. Did he know it now, or did he know it from the beginning?"

"I have met General Xie before, but he was not the commander of the Northern Army at that time." Xie Zhixing's voice trembled unconsciously, and he stared at Zhou Xing and asked, "How did you know those things just now?"

"Mr. Xie, are you a forgetful person?" Zhou Xing said coldly, "Didn't I tell you that my last name is Zhou?"

Xie Zhixing trembled all over, and said in disbelief: "You are from the Zhou family..."

"No, I have met all the young people in the Zhou family, but I have never seen you." He shook his head again to reject this answer.

Zhou Xing snorted and said, "Believe it or not."

Xie Zhixing seemed to have given up struggling, sat down exhaustedly, and asked, "You also know what happened later, right?"

Zhou Xing said, "The sudden addition of a child to Prince Qing's mansion would have aroused suspicion no matter what, but Princess Qing took the initiative to stand up and say that the child was born to Prince Qing's concubine. She brought the child back to raise him personally, and after all, he is Prince Qing's bloodline."

Xie Zhixing asked: "Then why don't I have the last name Zhou?"

"Because your name was chosen by the Crown Princess before she died. Your surname is Xie and your given name is Fei. At that time, the public statement was that the concubine that Prince Qing kept happened to be a concubine of the Xie family. She was not allowed to be included in the Zhou family tree, so she could only be named Xie."
