...

Not long after the two left, Xia Fan suddenly heard a rustling sound from outside the window sill.

mouse? wildcat?

No... This movement is much bigger. This place is the second floor, and it is the core area of ​​the villa, so there shouldn't be anything strange or weird.

Xia Fan immediately raised his vigilance. He walked sideways to the window, lightly lifted the plug, pushed the window leaf, and the streamer technique in his hand was ready to go.

Then he saw a pair of big furry ears.

Looking down, Li Zheng was squatting on the edge of the window, chewing the scallion pancake in his hand. Seeing Xia Fan appearing, she was not surprised at all, held up the cake, "Do you want to eat?"

Xia Fan was stunned for a moment before he couldn't help laughing, "Why are you here?"

After speaking, he also took a bite on the cake.

"Sneaked out." Li also showed a sly smile, "Although His Holiness asked me to accompany him all the way, he didn't say that he couldn't move freely even if he fell asleep."

"If you don't like being with her, you can completely refuse," Xia Fan said.

In fact, he did not agree to the last request made by Venerable Shengtian on the spot, but gave the right to choose to Li himself, saying that "the transaction cannot be based on forcing Li's will." Surprisingly, His Holiness did not express any dissatisfaction, but seemed a little appreciative.

"It's not that I hate that person," Li Chang breathed out. "To be honest, that person looks indifferent, but he is quite caring in his heart. But I haven't seen you for so long, and I want to meet you too." Speaking of which, she raised her eyebrows, "Don't you want to see me?"

"No, of course I want to see you." Xia Fan said decisively.

"That's fine." Li Zong jumped onto the window sill and sat next to Xia Fan with his legs crossed, "With me chatting with you, isn't it more detailed than looking at those scrolls?"

Did she notice all this?

"When did you come here?"

"I arrived about half an hour ago." Li wagged his tail, "I wanted to use illusion to sneak attack you, to see if you were still as vigilant as before, but I didn't expect a guest to arrive."

It's okay, it's okay...Xia Fan let out a sigh of relief.

Since Li grew his second tail, the influence of the illusion has become more than a little bit stronger than before. Even he is easy to be recruited without precaution. As for those illusions... I don't know if Li was influenced by himself, and the content became more and more realistic. Either it was so romantic that it made people blush, or it was so eerie that it made people's hair stand on end, either of which would easily make him lose his composure.

If Princess Muye happened to visit at this time, it would be embarrassing.

"You sneaked out so early, aren't you worried that Venerable Shengtian will find out?"

"Don't worry," Li proudly smiled, "She won't find out."

...

When Li Mengyun passed by Li's room, she noticed that the door was not covered, and the light under the door was very weak, as if only the flame of an oil lamp was left flickering.

Is she already asleep?

Even the door is not closed, this child... really doesn't look like a monster, and his vigilance is too low.

Or is it because Jinxia is here that makes her so relaxed?

Thinking of this, Li Mengyun couldn't help stretching out her hand to slightly open the door, and glanced inside - there was clearly a figure lying on the bed in the hotel wing, the quilt was curled into a ball, and only a small half of her tail was exposed outside. The oil lamp by the bed hadn't been extinguished yet, but it was about to dry up. The flames were flickering and jumping, indicating that the darkness was coming soon.

She really fell asleep.

From Jinxia to Ganzhou for investigation, and then from Baiyao Mountain all the way back to Shenzhou, she must be tired. Li Mengyun smiled, and leaned against the door frame to look at each other for a long time - the scene in front of her unknowingly brought her back to more than ten years ago, when Li always asked her to guard him before falling asleep, otherwise he would crawl around looking for him. Own. But now that she has grown up, not only has she not been arrested by the Privy Council, but she has found a stable residence that belongs to her. It can be said that this result is even better than the best situation she expected.

This thought also made Li Mengyun feel bitter.

Because during this process, Li has no memory about her.

There was nothing she could do but pull away and leave.

Even from a certain point of view, if she insisted on keeping Li by her side, the result would probably be worse.

"Have a good rest." Li Mengyun whispered and closed the door.

...

Three days later, the princess's emissary team quietly left Jinxia City without any publicity. Except for Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun, the main members of the Privy Affairs Bureau were almost all elite, leaving only Weihuang, Yu Linglong and Duyelong in the city.

Since the Salvation Church brought a lot of supplies sold by Jinxia when they went to Ganzhou, the journey was much slower than when they came, and it took almost a week to reach Baili Town.

This remote town has changed drastically since it left.

The Jinxia Army took over the governance of the town with almost no effort, and established a small branch office in this area. There are several more Jinxia Army camps around the town, and the total number of troops stationed has reached as many as 2,000. Far more than a small town needs to be guarded.

It was the first time for the locals to see such a big battle, and at first they shyly hid at home and dared not go out. However, the Jinxia Army strictly forbids to harass the local people, and the branch office recruits people to repair roads and smooth traffic at a salary much higher than the local salary level. Big difference.

So much so that when Venerable Shengtian returned to Baili Town, he found that the residents here had become one with Jinxia's army. Not only did he see that the "jun lord" no longer fled in all directions, but he would take the initiative to ask if there was any new work to do.

This is completely different from their attitude towards Salvationism.

"His Royal Highness's way of running the army is really different," Venerable Shengtian sighed, "It can only be said that the defeat of the Allied Forces of Ten States was not unjust."

Ning Wanjun smiled, "It's actually not my credit, it's Xia Fan who formulated the management regulations of the Military Discipline and Affairs Bureau."

"So it was you..." His Holiness asked in surprise, "How did you do this?"

"Actually, there's nothing complicated." Xia Fan confessed frankly, "Just treat other people as human beings."

Venerable Shengtian was unable to pick up the words for a while.

Treat people as people... This sentence seems to be nonsense, but Li Mengyun, who has rich experience, deeply understands how difficult it is to do this.

For the vast majority of those in power, the common people are just a guide for them to seek great careers.

After passing through the mountains and forests of Baili Town, Xia Fan finally saw the rumored secret tunnel.

The moment he stepped into the hall, he couldn't help shaking.

"What's wrong with you?" Li asked concerned.

"No. It's nothing." Xia Fan took a deep breath to calm down his breathing. The scene in front of him is almost a standard "subway station", except that it does not have bright light tubes and colorful advertising boards, and the rest benches are no longer made of stainless steel and plastic products - all the furnishings he saw, from The stairs to the platform are all made of stone.
