They were walking on a path in the wilderness, all around them was silent. Unbeknownst to them, a fallen tree appeared on the road ahead, blocking their way.
"and many more."
At this moment, Miss Fox suddenly called him, and the expression under the mask gradually became serious.
"Be careful, there has been some unrest outside the capital recently, and there may be bandits roaming around."
"stop!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of dark shadows appeared in front of her. The big guy in the lead was holding two axes and blocked the middle of the road.
"I planted this tree, I built this road. If you want to pass this road, you have to leave money to buy your way through. Oh, there's actually a girl with a nice figure here."
It begins, it begins, the classic lines of a minor villain.
By the way, do all the minor villains in novels like to say these old-fashioned and outdated lines? He has seen similar lines in no less than a hundred novels. Can these authors come up with something original?
Miss Fox stood up and immediately corrected her:
"This tree was obviously just pulled down. How can you prove that you planted it? And this road was built by the government. May I ask who you are?"
At this time, one of the subordinates noticed the woman's attire and quickly reminded the boss:
"Boss, that chick looks like she's wearing the uniform of an official. She's probably not easy to mess with. How about we retreat?"
"You know that wealth and honor come with risks, don't you? What's wrong with the police? She's a woman. Could it be that she has beaten up a group of us?"
"..."
Soon.
"Lady, spare me! I didn't know you were from the Heavenly Supervisory Department. I have parents and children to take care of. Please don't kill me!"
In a blink of an eye, all the robbers were captured by Miss Fox, leaving only one leader.
Xu Chengling knew that this Miss Fox was good at fighting. After all, to be able to become a constable in the Tianshi Division, she must be quite capable. But he didn't expect her to be so good at fighting.
With this skill of his, is he really just a small constable?
"Say, did you see a girl in a blue dress last night?"
"What girl? I don't understand."
In the long night, the blade of the knife was slightly sharp and was placed on the neck of the bandit leader with a little force.
"Lady, spare me, I told you, I did see a girl last night, but she ran very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye. We are only robbing her for money and don't want to hurt anyone."
With a long knife at his neck, the bandit leader begged for mercy.
"Okay, let's go."
Miss Fox let go of the blood-stained goose-wing knife and let the other person go.
"Thank you, lady! I swear to be a good person in the future!"
The bandit leader didn't dare to stay and ran away immediately.
"Why……"
The next moment, the bandit leader fell in a pool of blood, with a sharp goose-wing knife stuck in his back.
"A robber is a robber. You should be a good person in your next life."
The fox mask looked coldly at the corpse lying on the ground. His eyes were fierce and he must have killed many people.
It was Buddha's job to forgive him, and what she had to do was to send him to see Buddha.
"I'm sorry, Master Xu, for showing you something bad. You're a woman, but you're still fighting and killing. Do you hate women like me?"
Miss Fox wiped the blood off the blade with her wrist and put the goose-wing knife back.
"Hate it, why would I hate it? I think it's very handsome."
Xu Chengling shook his head. When it comes to women who like fighting and killing, he has several around him.
He held Miss Fox's slender hand, showed a trace of admiration, and said:
"Helping the weak and fighting against the strong, hating evil, this is what a heroine should be like, Miss Fox, you looked so handsome just now, didn't you?"
Being suddenly grabbed by the other party, Miss Fox's pretty face under the mask blushed slightly, and then said:
"As long as you don't hate her, it's fine. I just asked the leader of that gang of robbers, and he seemed to have seen the person you're looking for, but she ran away. She should be ahead."
After saying that, Miss Fox quickly pulled her slender hand back and turned around. Her pretty face under the mask seemed to be burned by fire.
Hehehe, I touched it. My hand was touched by a man’s hand…
Miss Fox let out an indescribable cry in her heart, and at this moment she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
"Miss Fox, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, it's okay, it's nothing, let's go find someone quickly."
After saying that, Miss Fox took the lead and walked towards Lingyin Temple.
If nothing goes wrong, the person they are looking for is in Lingyin Temple.
However, it is already late at night. If we go to Lingyin Temple now, I am afraid that the monks will have already rested and we will not be able to enter.

During this period, I will update twice a day and save the manuscript for upload. If there are a lot of monthly votes, I may consider adding a few more chapters. This book has a cheerful style, so some parts may not be so rigorous. Please understand.
Up to now, many female characters have appeared in this book, but their characters have basically not been developed yet, including the empress's housekeeper line, her sister's governing line, Tong Xin and Mo Li's organizational line, and the two personal guards of the empress, who also have roles to play. In short, let's write them slowly.
Finally, I have to say a few words. There are already so many female characters, and this author actually wants to add a new female protagonist. This stupid author is a bit out of his mind.
Chapter 59: The Lost Little Bookboy in the Prime Minister's Mansion
Xu Chengling and Miss Fox from the Tianjian Division traveled together, and along the way, Tongxin followed them secretly.
If Miss Fox had not taken action before, Tongxin would have done so, so Xu Chengling would have been fearless.
As a professional killer, Tong Xin dressed in black and blended into the night.
It's just that the moonlight tonight is not very friendly to her profession, just like someone who went to the Sahara Desert to buy an umbrella.
However, Miss Fox is a member of the Sky Monitor after all, and has a strong anti-tracking awareness. She looks back from time to time to observe the surrounding environment.
As a last resort, Tong Xin could only keep a safer distance from the other party to avoid being noticed by the other party.
In addition to her, there seemed to be many dark shadows in the night who were ready to make a move, eyeing their master covetously.
So, Tongxin took the opportunity to clean up some nearby thieves gangs. When a group of rabble met a professional gold medal killer, the outcome was predictable.
"When the master comes back later, he won't run into those blind guys anymore."
Tong Xin thought silently in her heart.
……
Before they knew it, Xu Chengling and Miss Fox, who was traveling with him, arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Above the steps is the Lingyin Temple, where incense is very popular, and the scent of the young lady is gone here.
But what is certain is that the eldest lady came here not long ago.
It was already late at night, and the entire Lingyin Temple was silent and quiet. No one would have thought that someone would come to visit so late at night.
The two climbed up the steps and arrived at the gate of Lingyin Temple.
As expected, the red-painted mountain gate in front of me was tightly closed and there was no one around.
"It's so late, the monks in the temple have already gone to bed. I'm afraid we can only come back tomorrow morning."
Miss Fox said calmly as she looked at the tightly closed mountain gate in front of her.
"Since we're already here, if we go back without seeing anyone, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
Xu Chengling shook his head. He walked forward, grabbed the lock on the door and knocked hard a few times, shouting:
"Is anyone there? Is anyone here?"
After a long time, there was still no movement in the temple. It seemed that the monks had fallen asleep.
Just when Xu Chengling was thinking about whether to let Tongxin sneak in and secretly open the door, there was a sudden "creak" and the mountain gate was opened.
I saw two young monks coming out, rubbing their sleepy eyes, obviously they had just been woken up.
One of the monks looked at the two people in front of him, clasped his hands together, and said in a sleepy tone:
"Amitabha, benefactor, it's so late, please come back tomorrow morning if you have anything to say."
"Yeah, don't you even check the time? I'm so sleepy. Let's go back to sleep."
After saying this, the two young monks prepared to close the door and send the guests away.
"Wait, young master, don't close the door yet. We are here to look for someone. I wonder if you have seen a girl with pigtails, about this tall and a little thin."
Xu Chengling immediately stepped forward and asked the monk if he had seen the person he was looking for.
Now that he has found this place, he will not leave easily before seeing anyone else.
The two monks looked at each other, then shook their heads and replied:
"Donor, we haven't seen the person you are looking for."
"Yes, our Lingyin Temple is very popular. There are so many people burning incense and worshiping Buddha every day. Even if I have seen it, I can't remember it."
"That's right, benefactor, so please go back. If you want to find someone, please come back tomorrow morning."
After saying this, the two young monks could no longer resist their sleepiness and retreated back into the mountain gate.
"Wait a minute, we are from the Xiangguo Mansion. Let your abbot come out for a moment."
Xu Chengling took out a token from his waist, handed it to the monk, and said seriously:
"This is my master's sign. Give it to your abbot and he will know what to do."
The two young monks looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
Because the abbot had fallen asleep at this time, if they woke him up, the consequences would be serious.
Seeing the monk's helpless expression, Xu Chengling said:
"Just go ahead. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong. If you don't go, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Well, if we do wake up the abbot, please say something good for us."
One of the monks hesitated for a moment and decided to go anyway.
What if the other party really is someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion? If they don't report it and delay things, thus angering the Prime Minister's Mansion, they cannot afford the consequences.
"Donor, please wait here for a moment."
After saying this, the young monk ran back to the temple and went to find the abbot.
On the other side, Miss Fox seemed to see a word "Xiang" engraved on Xu Chengling's token out of the corner of her eye.
This aroused her suspicion, so she asked:
"Master Xu, you are not an ordinary servant. Not only do you know the eldest lady, but you also have the master's token. As expected, you should be the master!"
Xu Chengling couldn't help but hold his breath. Looking at the other party's expression, could it be that his identity was about to be exposed?
"Senior servant."
"Oh, yes, yes, I didn't expect you to have guessed this."
Xu Chengling was alarmed for a false alarm, but luckily the other party didn't think too much about it.
"I am a lost little servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I just happen to know the young master and the eldest lady."
"I see. I heard that the new Prime Minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion has just taken the throne, and he is still very young."
Miss Fox said that she had just been transferred to the Tianshi Department in the capital and heard the news that the new prime minister had succeeded to the throne.
However, she has not yet seen the new prime minister and does not know what he looks like.
"Yeah, about my age."
"So what does he look like?"
"Almost the same as me."
