Dressed as the Regent's fox pet

Fang Ying thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's kerosene."

Although Nie Mingchi had never heard of this word, he understood what it was from the literal meaning.He said, "It seems that the fire is burning strangely."

Nie Mingchi instead ordered Lu Li and some of the armored soldiers to take the others to resettle first, and asked carefully what happened in the village last night. After giving them one by one instructions, he took Fang Ying back to the carriage.

Nie Mingchi was silent all the way, apparently in a bad mood.

Fang Ying didn't feel any better, he didn't even bother to look at the scenery outside the carriage.The two remained silent until they returned to the study in the other courtyard.

Nie Mingchi sat behind the short table waiting for the news from Lu Li, while Fang Ying quietly waited aside.

Half a day after Lu Li came back, he reported to Nie Mingchi, "According to a man who claimed to be the small and medium-sized leader of the cottage, the head of the family went to the northern suburbs outside the city yesterday and came back depressed. There was arguing, as if arguing with someone, and soon the house caught fire, and then the whole cottage was burned."

"The northern suburbs outside the city? Has someone been sent to check?" Nie Mingchi asked.

"The subordinates have already sent people to investigate and are still waiting for news," Lu Li replied.

"Send more people there, just in case." Nie Mingchi ordered.

Lu Li responded and left quickly.

Fang Ying watched Lu Li's figure leave, and then saw Nie Mingchi pick up a bamboo slip on the short case to check, couldn't help but said, "Your arm is still injured, you shouldn't be tired."

Nie Mingchi said, "You have to do something, otherwise you will be anxious just sitting around."

Fang Ying thought about it carefully and thought it was true, so he went to the owner and took the bamboo slip from his hand, took out the bracket that the owner had used before and set it up, put the bamboo slip on it for him, and then returned it to the side.

Nie Mingchi glanced at him, obviously a little surprised, but this is indeed much more convenient.

After reading the bamboo slips, Nie Mingchi asked Fang Ying, "You can read, can you help me review official documents?"

Fang Ying shook his head as he thought of the densely packed unfamiliar handwriting that he saw just now.

Nie Mingchi raised his eyebrows, as if he hadn't thought of this at all, and said in a somewhat surprised tone, "But from some of your usual conversations, it doesn't look like you are illiterate, does it?"

Fang Ying didn't know how to explain to the owner how he became illiterate from a high school student who knew astronomy and geography. In short, he could only say that the world is unpredictable, like dew and electricity.

Fang Ying thought for a while, and decided to use the way of time-travelers to fool the owner, "Maybe I'm a genius from heaven, and I was born to know it?"

Nie Mingchi smiled and remained silent, laughing so hard that Fang Ying didn't dare to look at him.

"Forget it," Nie Mingchi said when he saw Fang Ying's head bowed down, "I will teach you how to learn calligraphy when the injury recovers."

Fang Ying raised his head abruptly, apparently not expecting this, looked at him in surprise and asked, "Really?"

"It's more real than gold!" Nie Mingchi laughed.

Fang Ying was already overjoyed in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.After all, he still knew the owner somewhat, and if he lost his composure in front of him, he would probably be ridiculed by him in the future.

Nie Mingchi motioned for Fang Ying to come over, put another bamboo slip on the bracket, and put the one he had seen before aside.

Fang Ying did so, and the two cooperated until Fang Ying felt something was wrong with his body.

Nie Mingchi noticed Fang Yinghu's pale face, and saw him covering his belly with his hands, so he asked, "Have you eaten your stomach?"

Fang Ying said with difficulty, "Maybe it is."

"Then let's go back and rest first. You can also rest for a few days. I have Nie Wu and others to take care of me."

Fang Ying nodded, saluted Nie Mingchi and left quickly.

Fang Ying felt a burning sensation coming from his body while walking, but it was different from the last time, this time there was an icy breath rushing through his body, and two opposing feelings of ice and fire appeared alternately in his body. Rang Fang Ying broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

He always had a premonition that something unexpected was going to happen, and he wanted to return to the bedroom he arranged for himself as soon as possible.

However, Fang Ying hadn't gone far, when he arrived at a rockery cave on the only way, he found something wrong. He found that the inner wall of the rockery he was holding on to seemed to have changed in touch.

Fang Ying belatedly looked at his hand that was in contact with the inner wall of the rockery, only to realize that the goal was a small claw.

Fang Ying couldn't help looking behind him, and sure enough, he saw the furry fox tail that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Fang Ying was startled by this sudden transformation for a moment, and it took him a while to recover, and then he had to accept the fact that he had turned back into a fox again.

But fortunately, he was lucky enough to walk under this fake cave. Otherwise, if the hidden guards in the dark saw him suddenly turning into a fox from a living person, he might be regarded as a monster and burned to death.

Naturally, you can't go back to your own bedroom when you become a fox, but I'm afraid you can't go back to the owner directly. What if the owner, who can't be speculated by common sense, notices something wrong?

Just as Fang was in a dilemma, he heard footsteps coming from outside the rockery.

Fang Ying looked around and found no place to hide, so he leaned against the rockery and waited for the man to pass by.

The visitor was behind the light, and Fang Ying's stature was too small, he couldn't see the visitor's face at all, so he could only hold his breath and wait for him to pass by.

However, the man didn't know what he was aware of, he stopped after walking a few steps, and squatted down to catch Fang Ying before he could react.

"This is... a fox?" Nie Wu's voice sounded slightly surprised.

As soon as Fang Ying heard that he was going to die, he hurriedly broke free, but Nie Wu was proficient in medical skills, and quickly calmed down the little fox in his palm.

When he got to the bright place, Nie Wu realized that what he was holding was the little fox that his master had said had gone wild recently.

"Exactly, I'm going to the Lord's place, so I'll bring you there along the way!" Nie Wu put Fang Ying, who couldn't move, into a small pocket of his bag, and walked away from the rockery.

Fang Ying almost didn't greet Nie Wu eight hundred times in his heart, put him in a bag full of poison, and even took him to see the owner!

Fang Ying tried to move his body several times, but found it ineffective, and finally decided to follow Buddhism.

Nie Wu brought Fang Ying, who was from the Buddhist family, into Nie Ming's room.

Nie Mingchi was reviewing official documents at the moment, and Nie Wu went over to say, "If the Lord thinks these things are an eyesore, you can ask his subordinates to help. Tell me, we will write it."

Nie Mingchi hummed, and put down the Zihao brush in his hand.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a pair of purple fox ears exposed in Nie Wuxing's private room.

Nie Wu followed his gaze, and took out Fang Ying, who had been lying flat in the Buddha's family, from his small pocket.

Nie Mingchi looked at Fang Ying with his head drooping and ears drooping, "Isn't this my little fox that went wild somewhere? Why, remember?"

Nie Wu continued, "This subordinate found it in a fake cave, and I don't know how long it stayed there."

"Bring it here!" Nie Mingchi said.

Nie Wu then handed the fox to Nie Mingchi, and Nie Mingchi took it and put it into his arms.

Nie Mingchi rubbed the fox's ears, seeing that the little fox didn't respond, he couldn't help asking Nie Wu, "Why does it look so listless?"

Nie Wu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I just put it in the bag. At first it struggled a few times, and I tapped one of its acupuncture points. It should be untied now."

Nie Mingchi's unkind eyes fell on his bag, and he frowned, "Your bag is full of poison, stay away from it next time, this fox has human nature, maybe it's not necessarily because of being scared."

Nie Wu blinked, indicating that he knew, and then came to ask Nie Mingchi for pulse.

While comforting the little fox, Nie Mingchi put his other hand on the short case to let Nie Wu take the pulse.

After Nie Wu's pulse diagnosis, he said to Nie Mingchi, "My lord's injury will be fine after three or four days of recuperating in a healthy state. You just need to do less work with others."

Nie Mingchi nodded, and then put the little fox on the table, "I noticed that its body temperature seems a little abnormal, why don't you show it too?"

Nie Wu glanced at the fox with drooping ears, stretched out his hand to check its pulse, and his expression became a little strange for a moment.

Seeing this, Nie Mingchi asked, "What?"

Nie Wu withdrew his hand and said, "In addition to the scorching yang energy I discovered last time, this little fox also has an icy cold air. If my judgment is not wrong, the icy cold air comes from the Demon Sect!"

Nie Mingchi was silent for a moment and said, "Do you still remember the day before I brought it back, Lu Li and I were investigating Min Zhen Leihuo?"

Nie Wu thought about it for a while, and asked, "But the whole mountain was burned down because of a thunderstorm overnight?"

"Yes." Nie Mingchi said, "The area of ​​the thunderstorm was too large at that time, and it was night, and many townspeople's houses in Min Town were damaged. Cloth only found in the wilderness. Later, I heard that some hunters in the town found something on the scorched mountain and took it home.”

"Cloth from the wasteland? Is this thunderstorm related to the Demon Sect?" Nie Wu asked.

"It should be." Nie Mingchi continued, "I brought someone into the hunter's house, only to find out that what he brought back from the mountain was a intact fox, but at that time he had already handed the fox over to a merchant in the town."

"Then this is the fox?" Nie Wu looked at Fang Ying who was in the fox body.

"That's right." Nie Mingchi stroked the fur of the fox, "The fox was offered by the merchant to Taiwei Huo's subordinates to collect rare and exotic beasts from the people for the young emperor, so I took someone to intercept it."

"It turns out that there is such a relationship. I'm afraid that this fox is of great significance to the Demon Sect, otherwise there would not be such a big commotion like a thunderstorm."

Fang Ying listened to their conversation with drooping ears, and only then did he understand the reason why the owner took him away halfway.

Nie Wu said, "I heard that the fox was originally brought into Shuozhou City by Lu Li that day, but it triggered the protective circle at the gate of the city. I guess it was also because of the fox?"

Nie Mingchi hummed, "That's why I put it in my arms and brought it in later."

Nie Wu nodded, looking thoughtfully at the fox in Nie Mingchi's arms, "Although I really can't see anything special about this fox, at least it's much better to keep it by the Master's side than to fall into the hands of the Demon Sect. "

Fang Ying felt the same deeply.He has also met people from the Demon Sect. Compared with the two, he is obviously more willing to stay by the owner's side. At least the other party has not harmed his mind so far.

"Then the icy cold energy of the Demon Sect in its body is from the thunderstorm?" Nie Wu asked.

Nie Mingchi shook his head, "I didn't find out before."

Both were lost in thought.

Only Fang Ying lowered his head in silence, trying to reduce his presence.
