Tang Shishi was stunned when he heard it, and then pointed to himself in disbelief: "I'm going?"

Zhao Chengjun nodded lightly, as it should be. Tang Shishi was stunned for a while and said, "My lord, I am a woman."

Zhao Chengjun looked at her with a foolish expression: "I know."

"She's also a woman!" Tang Shishi couldn't help but raise his voice, and the people on both sides looked at him. Tang Shishi realized that he was too excited, and quickly lowered it, "My lord, it's fun for a young man to give the county owner a pet, but I'm a woman. , what's the matter with the words I sent?"

Zhao Chengjun glanced forward and said, "You said it yourself, what needs to be done to make up for it. She will be back soon. In any case, this move must be taken out. You can decide for yourself."

Tang Shishi was suffocated for a while, unable to think of any rebuttal. Zhao Zixun came over and asked, "Father, that young fox is not in good spirits, do you want to keep it?"

Zhao Chengjun glanced at Tang Shishi lightly, and said, "Give it to her."

Zhao Zixun was a little surprised, he quickly looked at Tang Shishi, then withdrew his gaze, and whispered to his subordinates: "Give the things to Miss Tang."

The guard came back with an iron cage in which the red and white fox cubs were kept. The cub was about three or four months old, and had grown into the shape and fur of a fox, but its limbs were not yet fully developed. It couldn't stand still, and now it shrank in the corner of the cage, struggling to support its body, its eyes were round, and it was constantly baring its teeth at the people around it.

Tang Shishi was originally reluctant to touch furry animals, but when she saw this little fox, her heart softened unconsciously. This fox has a round head and round eyes. Its limbs have not yet grown, and its face is mixed with black and gray fluff. It is obviously vigilant, but when it tilted its head to look at people, Tang Shishi instantly softened.

That's all, Tang Shishi thought, it's just a young, lonely, and unfortunate little fox who was favored by Zhao Chengjun. She hugged it temporarily and handed it over to Naren Toya immediately.

"Okay." Tang Shishi nodded and gave birth to two hands stiffly, "Give it to me."

Foxes are vigilant by nature, and this little fox is especially afraid of people and refuses to get close to people. Tang Shishi stretched out his hand, but the little fox shrank in the corner of the iron cage and refused to touch Tang Shishi. The guard had no choice but to forcibly pull it out.

When Tang Shishi saw it, he hurriedly said: "Don't use force, I'm not in a hurry, let it come out slowly."

Zhao Chengjun was still hunting during the day, but looking at the fox's cub at this moment, he still looked like he was looking at the prey. He grew up in the palace, and instinctively didn't like the smell of animals, but at this moment, watching Tang Shishi carefully coaxing the fox and slowly picking it up, he could see some cute smells.

The fox's eyes are round and smooth, the face plate is round and fluffy, Tang Shishi's side face is exquisitely curved, and the eyes are also fluffy.

Zhao Chengjun and Zhao Zixun quietly stood aside, watching Tang Shishi put in a lot of effort, and finally hugged the fox. The fox's nest was small in Tang Shishi's arm. Tang Shishi felt distressed and asked, "It's only so small, where is its mother?"

Zhao Chengjun stood aside and watched, and said unhurriedly, "Probably died."

Tang Shishi raised his head in shock. Zhao Chengjun met her gaze and said, "I thought you remembered that this trip was for hunting."

Tang Shishi looked at this man and couldn't say anything. At this time, Zhao Chengjun raised his eyes, his eyes fell backwards, Tang Shishi turned back, and found that it was Naren Toya.

Zhao Chengjun stood aside, silently not speaking. Tang Shishi felt King Jing's silent impetus, so he bravely stepped forward and said to Naren Toya, "Master, stay."

Naren Toya turned around and saw the fox in Tang Shishi's arms, completely shocked: "What is this?"

"Fox." Tang Shishi said word by word according to the lines explained by King Jing, "I heard that the county master likes this kind of gadget, and I happened to encounter one today while hunting and gave it to the county master."

Tang Shishi felt a little wrong after reciting it. Isn't this the line of the prince? Didn't she really get the wrong plot

Tang Shishi was stunned, but Naren Toya didn't pay attention to this. She looked at the little fox in Tang Shishi's arms and liked it very much. The fox was afraid of life and kept shrinking into Tang Shishi's arms. Naren Toya got close and tried to scratch the fox's chin.

"It's so cute." After Naren Toya finished speaking, she happily waved to Anji Timur, "Father Khan, come and see, fox!"

Zhao Chengjun stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, and said to Zhao Zixun slowly, "No wonder the beauty trick has been tried and tested, it is really useful."

Zhao Zixun said helplessly, "Father."

"Let's go, Anji Timur is here." Zhao Chengjun said, "After all, she is his favorite little daughter. It is most useful to talk now."

Naren Toya showed obvious affection for the little fox, Tang Shishi breathed a sigh of relief and handed the fox to Naren Toya. When the little fox was sent away, she looked back at Tang Shishi earnestly. Tang Shishi was a little reluctant, but her desire to survive immediately overwhelmed her heart. If she dares to obstruct King Jing's plan, King Jing can send her to see King Hades tonight.

Naren Toya hugged the fox and kept yelling. Anji Timur saw his daughter so happy, but he was much happier than what he got. Zhao Chengjun had already brought Zhao Zixun over, and Tang Shishi knew his interest and retire in time.

When he left, the little fox stared at Tang Shishi with eyes like grapes, and let out a weak cry. Tang Shishi was cruel, turned his head and walked away.

Today is the first day of the hunt, and people counting the spoils can be seen everywhere. This kind of occasion has nothing to do with Tang Shishi. She walked around and was bored, so she planned to go back to the tent to stay.

Tang Shishi was just halfway there when a guard suddenly caught up behind him and shouted loudly, "Miss Tang, please stay."

Tang Shishi turned back, the guards clasped their fists, and said, "Miss Tang, the lord has an order and ordered his subordinates to take you back."

Tang Shishi frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know." The guard said respectfully, "Miss Tang, please."

Tang Shishi knew that something had changed, so he returned to the place and found that the fox had been moved to the guards. Many people surrounded Naren Toya. Naren Toya was sneezing. Her wrists and neck were red and swollen. She didn't know if she scratched herself or had a rash.

Tang Shishi asked, "What's wrong?"

Naren Toya covered her nose and said, "I don't seem to be able to touch the fox's fur, it hurts when I get close."

Tang Shishi knew it. She knew that some people were sensitive to cat hair and dog hair and could not keep long-haired animals. It seemed that Naren Toya was one of them. Tang Shishi quietly looked at Zhao Chengjun and asked silently what to do. Zhao Chengjun's face was as cold as jade, and he said slowly: "It's because this king is not thinking carefully. Since the county master can't smell the fox's hair, it's fine to let it go."

"Then how?" Narentoya sneezed and said, "No. It has a human smell on its body, and even if it goes back to the cave, its mother won't recognize it. It is so small that it can't be recognized by itself. Hunting and releasing it now means sending it to die?"

Zhao Chengjun patiently asked, "What does the county master plan to do?"

Naren Tuoya covered her nose and said vaguely: "It turns out that Tang Shishi is not raising it, just let Tang Shishi continue to raise it. I can't touch the fox fur, but I really like this fox, just let her raise it, so I can watch it. on."

Tang Shishi widened his eyes in surprise and quickly looked at Zhao Chengjun. Zhao Chengjun paused and asked Tang Shishi very gently: "This king never forces people, what do you think?"

Tang Shishi opened his mouth, and was about to refuse when he heard Zhao Chengjun say: "The county master's method is not bad. Of course, it is up to your wishes to raise a fox."

Tang Shishi silently shut his mouth. After speaking to this level, what else can Tang Shishi say? She could only smile and grit her teeth and said, "Okay, I will."

Narentoya cheered happily: "It's great! You must take good care of it, I'll come and see it tomorrow."

Tang Shishi took the fox dumbly, and when he heard Naren Toya's words, he had to pull out a smile: "Okay."

Tang Shishi held the fox, and Naren Toya stood far away, constantly teasing the little fox. Anji Timur and Zhao Chengjun were standing on the other side. He looked at this scene with emotion and said to Zhao Chengjun: "Thank you King Jing. King Jing is unselfish and showed no mercy to the little girl a few days ago. I thought that the prince would not I like little girls."

Zhao Chengjun smiled lightly, but did not answer. In fact, Anji Timur feels right, Zhao Chengjun really doesn't like Naren Toya.

If Anji Timur knew Zhao Chengjun's original plan, I'm afraid he would never be able to stand here and talk to him calmly at this moment.

Anji Timur was deeply moved and sighed: "Her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her. I pity her, and since this is my youngest child, I can't help but spoil her more. She has no playmates since she was a child, and her biological mother She went early again, and her temperament was gradually spoiled. In fact, her heart is not bad. I have lived to this age, and I have seen all that I should know, and there is nothing to be afraid of, but I don't worry about her. My children are all Debt, especially my daughter, I wonder if King Jing can understand this feeling."

Zhao Chengjun nodded and said, "I feel the same way."

In fact, he couldn't understand it at all.

After Anji Timur confided, his face suddenly turned straight, and he said to Zhao Chengjun, "Thank you King Jing this time, and specially let your people come to relieve Naya. I, Anji Timur, will keep this kind of friendship in my heart."

Zhao Chengjun said with a smile: "With a little effort, King Zhongshun doesn't have to meet me."

Although Zhao Chengxuan smiled, his eyes were as deep as ink. It seems that he has to continue to let Tang Shishi stabilize Naren Toya. Tang Shishi is a woman, and is more suitable for approaching Naren Toya than Zhao Zixun. After all, Anji Timur is a father and a man. If anyone recognizes him, the Jingwangfu will be very embarrassed.

But Tang Shishi has no scruples in this regard. It seems that it looks good, but there is still some use in the end.

Zhao Chengjun made up his mind and did not waver. He originally thought that this was just to accompany a little girl to play the house, how could he have expected that it was much more than that.

That night, Zhao Chengjun stood in the tent with a cold face, his entire body suppressed to the extreme. Zhao Chengjun took a deep breath, tried his best to calm himself down, and asked, "Why is it still screaming?"

"I don't know." Tang Shishi held Zhao Chengjun's murder-like gaze, and felt extremely wronged in his heart, "You insisted on letting me raise. I have never raised cats or dogs, how do I know how to raise foxes?"

Zhao Chengjun pressed his eyebrows hard, and he had been tortured and had no temper. The wicked have their own grind, and Zhao Chengjun knows that he is not a good person, so Tang Shishi is here to torture him.

Zhao Chengjun said in a low voice, "Throw it out."

"No." Tang Shishi said, "Tomorrow Naren Toya will come to see him. If the fox is lost, how will he explain it tomorrow?"

Yes, Zhao Chengjun nodded and said, "Then find a rope to tie it outside and pull it in tomorrow."

Tang Shishi looked at Zhao Chengjun in shock, God, does this person have a heart

Tang Shishi said angrily: "It's just a cub, and it can't even stand firm. You want to use it, but you're not willing to treat it well?"

"It doesn't know how to lift." Zhao Chengjun said with a cold face, "Throw it out, it lives in the wild, and it won't freeze to death."

"No." Tang Shishi couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up with a squeak, "Where did it offend you, why do you have to target it?"

For the first time, Zhao Chengjun met someone who dared to yell at him. In the past, even Empress Yao would speak softly to him, hiding a needle in the cotton. This was the first time someone had chastised him in person.

Zhao Chengjun squinted, Tang Shishi realized that something was wrong, and immediately hugged the little fox and put on a pitiful look. Those two pairs of eyes were dark, and even the slyness inside was exactly the same. Zhao Chengjun couldn't let out his anger, so he could only hold back his anger and said, "I can't sleep if there is any noise at night. Give you a quarter of an hour, and deal with it immediately, or else, you will go out with it for the night."

Tang Shishi was forced to bow his head by the evil forces. She thought about it for a long time and said tentatively, "Maybe, it's hungry?"

hunger? Zhao Chengjun frowned, and Tang Shishi was not sure, and asked, "My lord, have you ever raised a child? I think since they are all cubs, they should be about the same. Perhaps, it should be fed now?"

Zhao Chengjun looked at her coldly and asked, "What do you think?"

Tang Shishi was cowardly, and silently carried the fox to the outside, asking the guards where the milk was. Fortunately, Tang Shishi had no experience in breeding, but many of the soldiers knew how to fish and herd. Tang Shishi almost tossed half of the camp, and finally found goat milk and fed it to the little fox with minced meat.

After drinking it, it was really quiet. Both Tang Shishi and Zhao Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Chengjun's brain was aching, and he thought he could finally sleep. But not long after the lights were turned off, there was a thin cry from a corner of the tent.

Tang Shishi just fell asleep when she vaguely heard movement outside, for fear that Zhao Chengjun would really throw the fox outside. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes, and ran out all the way.

Tang Shishi ran outside, his eyes hadn't adjusted to the darkness, and slammed into a wall. Tang Shishi almost fell, when someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

Tang Shishi staggered to stand, still in shock: "Your Highness?"

Zhao Chengjun let go of her hand, and his voice was as cold as iron: "Take a good look at the road."

"Thank you, Lord."

Slowly, Tang Shishi's eyes adapted to the darkness, and he could clearly see the furnishings in the tent. She didn't dare to look into Zhao Chengjun's face, so she quickly picked up the fox and was very puzzled: "It's already full, why is it still barking?"

In the hazy darkness, Zhao Chengjun sneered and said, "You ask me?"

Tang Shishi touched the fox's fur and guessed, "Maybe it's cold?"

Zhao Chengjun really had a headache, but fortunately, Tang Shishi hugged the fox for a while, and it slowly stopped calling. Tang Shishi didn't dare to test Zhao Chengjun's tolerance limit, he hugged the little fox and wanted to quietly retire. As a result, she didn't look at the road when she turned around, and hit the shelf with a bang, knocking down many scrolls.

Things took one by one and collapsed with a clatter, alarmingly loud in the silent night. Tang Shishi was embarrassed. She was about to squat down to pick up something when she accidentally knocked on the edge of the spine of the book and cried out in pain.

Zhao Chengjun lowered his head and found that Tang Shishi was barefoot. Zhao Chengjun immediately looked away, said in a tight voice, "Go back."

"But these things..."

"Someone will clean up tomorrow. Go back immediately."

"Oh."

Tang Shishi responded and returned to his tent with the fox obediently. Standing alone in front of the mess, Zhao Chengjun pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache.

His choice is correct, not to get married, let alone raise children.

Too much trouble.
