Chapter 6 It is not easy to be brave and righteous No.39 Transformation
"I... I am alive... Don't strangle me so... tightly, I, I am definitely living a better life!" I struggled to survive in the arms of the big fox. I could no longer bear the mental and physical torture of the shortness of breath and the focus of everyone's attention...
The big fox's chest shook slightly , as if he was laughing. When he let go and I looked up, he had regained his poker face. Taking a step back, the big fox looked at me carefully and said:
"The spies reported that King Luo's convoy was attacked and you fell off a cliff. I thought...how did you..."
"Let's not talk about this for now!" I interrupted him hastily, pulled his sleeve and walked out, "Guo'er has been poisoned, I'm here to get the antidote! Hurry! Chaochao won't last a few days over there! It will be too late if you're late..."
Grabbing my wrist with his backhand, the big fox pulled me back to his side effortlessly, "Let's not talk about that first, tell me, where did you come from?"
I looked at him. He seemed to be much more haggard after not seeing him for a while. Was it because of the war? Or something else? His cheeks were thin and his eyes were deep and unfathomable. Only the nobleness and majesty of his whole body remained the same. After hesitating for a moment, I answered truthfully:
"I... from Xitai City."
The officers waiting outside the prison door behind me were in a commotion. The big fox remained calm and only called two servants to take me down to bathe and rest. But how could I be in the mood to rest now? !
"No! I won't go! It's already so late! Guo'er is almost dying! I don't want it! Let me go! What's the point of taking a bath...resting?!" The two servants were probably martial artists, and they subdued me in no time!
"Just listen to me, I will send someone to deliver the antidote. As for other matters, we will discuss it later." The big fox was as steady as a rock! It turned out that he was not poisoned! I was so angry that I was about to curse, but the big fox stretched out his hands gracefully, one hand tightly covered my mouth, and the other hand patted my head gently, and whispered:
"Xiao Tao is also in the camp, go see if she is okay."
I froze all struggles in an instant!
To others, his words were just a caring gesture asking me to visit my old friend. But to those who knew the situation, they sounded like a threat.
I obediently let the two boys carry me away...
I finally know how China loses 30 billion in national assets every year! It’s okay to be extravagant and wasteful at ordinary times, but this is during the march! The big fox’s sleeping tent is connected to three large tents, and there is a geothermal hot spring in a side tent! A group of ladies are busy beside them, and I don’t know what they are busy with? Soaking in the slippery and warm spring water, I am almost buried by the petals! I pouted in dissatisfaction, and was immediately caught by Xiao Tao! I was flicked lightly on the forehead, and Xiao Tao said coquettishly:
"My dear Miss Minmin, what else are you dissatisfied with? His Highness Yuyechi loves her so much that he didn't even let Concubine Jiwen in. But you've got a great bargain right away. The cooks outside have also been ordered, and I guess they'll serve delicious food and drinks today! And you're still here to sneer!"
"My dear Miss Xiaotao, you are a typical comrade who is not firm in his revolutionary stance . You are definitely deceived by the hypocritical face of the big fox! You think a good meal and a hot spring massage can buy me off? I still remember what he did to you!"
After hearing what I said, Xiao Tao's expression darkened, and she stroked her left hand and sighed:
"Minmin, don't remember these things anymore. His Highness is actually a good person, and he takes great care of me... His Highness, he is a man who does great things, so he naturally has to have some means... Didn't you also say something like 'extraordinary times call for extraordinary means'? Besides... he treats you more than well... he simply dotes on you..."
"Xiao Tao!" I interrupted her with my eyes wide open in surprise, "You can't be...really in love with that guy, right?"
"How is that possible?" Xiao Tao smiled bitterly, "Besides, it's not possible..."
"But he hurt you! Don't you hate him?" I grabbed her hand in disbelief.
"Minmin..." Xiaotao looked at me and sighed helplessly, "You don't understand. There are many times in this world where things are not as simple and direct as you think. You don't have to hate someone who hurts you. The person you hate the most may also be the one you care about the most. People are made of flesh and blood and can be moved... More often than not, you tend to hurt the person you least want to hurt... Do you understand?"
“I don’t quite understand…”
Why? Why? Shouldn't you hate the person who hurt you? How could you have the heart to hurt someone you like? I don't understand, I really don't understand. Xiao Tao shook her head in disappointment and walked out.
After thinking for a long time, I was still confused as if I was in a fog. Anyway, I understood one thing: Xiao Tao didn't hate the big fox, she even admired him!
Oh my god!
After sending away the group of ladies, I slowly climbed out of the hot spring and started to put on my clothes. The taste of the big fox has really remained unchanged for 800 years! It is always layered, with countless buttons and straps, and it is always top-notch and top-notch! I put it on angrily, without even putting on my shoes, and rushed out of the screen! But I saw the big fox sitting elegantly in front of a table of food, tasting wine calmly.
"You!" I trembled, holding the half-tied belt and pointing at the shameless person! "You, you, you, how long have you been here?!" The screen is semi-transparent! !
"It started from the time you drove away the lady." The big fox replied calmly.
I hate the ancient times! This place has no human rights and no privacy! ! !
"Come and have your meal." The big fox waved.
I shook my head with a sullen face. Why? You've had enough fun, and now you want me to accompany you for food and drinks? There are dividends for doing public relations, why should I be so unlucky and still have to pay for it! I won't cooperate! Just make up a reason:
"No, old man... I haven't dried my hair yet."
I turned around and walked back with my head held high. I stepped on the clothes that were not worn properly and fell down very ungracefully. I struggled to get up with stars in my eyes. The big fox had walked up to me without me noticing and said:
"You have a nosebleed."
"Ah!" He wiped it in a panic. No, he had to look up...
"besides……"
"What?"
"Your clothes are loose, beep--(mute) it's exposed."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!" All the blood in my body rushed to my head! My face suddenly turned red! And my nosebleed was like the endless flow of the Yellow River...
Jump into the hot spring pool to wash...
"Don't use hot spring water...it will make your blood flow faster."
"Can't you just say it faster?!" My nosebleed was flowing like the Amazon River under the effect of the sauna...
"Clothes, please don't pull them, okay? Ah, watch your step..."
Bang! "Ah!"
"...I was slow to speak." A fox said without apology...
I'm about to have a cerebral hemorrhage...
In the end, it was the big fox that helped me stop my nosebleed and clean my cat face; it was the big fox that helped me put on my clothes and tie all the complicated straps...
After telling me to eat obediently, the big fox picked up a clean towel, moved my head and started to wipe my hair. Okay, I admit it. I picked up a piece of Furong Chicken and stuffed it into my mouth. I sighed in my heart: Although his technique is extremely rusty, it's okay for the sake of him being a prince who has never served anyone... But his movements are still quite gentle, it's just...
"that……"
"What?"
"Change sides, my right side is still dripping with water, and your rubbing of my left side is about to catch fire..."
"..." The big fox stopped moving in embarrassment.
There was a slight sound outside the door, and Big Fox and I looked up alertly at the same time! We didn't go out to investigate, but just stared at the door for a while, and Big Fox said to me in a deep voice:
"Say what you want to tell me now."
Although I didn't know what was going on, I still tried to succinctly recount our story from falling off the cliff to being stranded in Xitai City, to the robbery, to the encounter with the Sixth Prince, and finally to Guo'er breaking into the city and being poisoned. As for the encounter with Baimao on the way here, I automatically blocked it out.
The fox's expression became increasingly ugly. When I mentioned that the Sixth Prince was seriously ill and I wanted to see him for the last time, his face was already full of clouds. Eager to know whether he had sent Guo'er's antidote, but not daring to provoke him who was obviously in a bad mood, I had to soften my voice and carefully adopt a roundabout tactic:
"Hey~ Will you go to see your brother?" As long as I get you back, it means I will also get the antidote back.
"Minmin..." He looked at me deeply, sighed softly, and stretched out his hand to hold me in his arms.
"Hey..." Just as I was about to struggle, he held me down.
"Don't move, Minmin, don't move, just for a while..." His slightly thin chin rested lightly on my shoulder, it was itchy and a little painful... Well, his brother is dying, he is in a low mood now, I will just pity him. There is no antidote for offending him, so I will just treat it as a favor to him...
...Hmm...Hmm? Hey! Is it almost time? Isn't it going to be a while? Why aren't you getting up yet?
Suddenly, my body felt lighter and I was lifted up and carried sideways! He strode out of the tent.
"What are you doing?"
"Didn't you ask me if I would go meet him?" The big fox looked down at me, "...Of course I will go. Right now!"
"Now?!"
I thought the big fox was cold-blooded and shameless and didn't care about these love affairs and brotherhoods. Now it seems that when he heard that his brother was in danger, he actually wanted to ride alone into the enemy camp! He was not afraid of fraud at all! He is still quite sentimental! Xiao Tao's words that day came to my mind again...
After helping me onto the horse, the big fox also jumped onto the horse and called out softly. Four masked men in tight black clothes appeared! In a flash, they knelt around the big fox! Silently, without a single unnecessary movement! I was stunned. These masters should have been protecting him all the time, right? Then...did they see the embarrassment I just made? Woo...
After giving his instructions to his personal attendant, he beckoned over a man who looked like a general, who rode on a horse and commanded majestically:
"Issue my military order! General Han guards the camp, and the others get ready and follow me ten miles behind." After thinking for a moment, he added, "If I don't show up within two hours of entering Xitai City, set fire to the city!"
My eyes widened!
This... this thousand-year-old fox!! I thought he had been awakened to his brotherly love, but it turns out he is quite sober! He has done everything to prepare for emergencies, and he has to be so cautious even when meeting his brothers? I sneered in my heart, big fox, you are so tired!
"Let's go." Holding me with one hand and the reins with the other, Big Fox's horse shot out like an arrow...
