I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

Merchants who travel long distances are very particular. Every time they stop at a temple to rest, they never forget to burn a few incense sticks to the local landlords as tolls.

Although they don't know if they are of any use, most of these temples and caves were left behind by the Shenzhou monks who died in the battle. The merchants feel that they deserve these incense sticks.

After receiving Li Niu's call, the servants hurried into the temple to take shelter from the rain.

There was thunder in the sky outside. Because everyone was on the mountain, the thunder and lightning were almost very close, making people feel very uneasy.

"Boom Ka——"

In full view of everyone, a big tree outside the temple was suddenly struck by lightning and split into two charred pieces.

The caravan members huddled in the corners, trembling with fear, whispering to each other in fear: "Have we offended some gods?"

"Captain, the incense you just burned wasn't fake, was it?"

"Don't think blindly!"

Li Niu glared at the guys and said, "Go to sleep quietly and don't let your mind wander. We still have to travel tomorrow."

In the end, fatigue overcame fear. They had been climbing the mountain for a whole day carrying the goods and were already exhausted.

The temple gradually became quiet.

Jiang Ke'er didn't feel tired at all. She had slept soundly during the day and was very energetic at this moment.

She glanced secretly at Qiao Qianxue who was sitting next to her.

Qiao Qianxue was holding her sword, motionless, and seemed to be asleep.

But she wore a veil even when she slept, covering her face so that no one could see what she looked like.

This made Jiang Keer feel itchy.

The most basic curiosity of a living being made her particularly want to take a look at what was under the fence.

In my haste before, I only saw the side profile, and it was a good-looking side profile.

This made Jiang Keer even more curious as to why she wanted to cover her face.

Judging from the innkeeper's flattering reaction earlier, she should be a prominent figure... But why would a prominent figure embark on this hard and tiring mountain road?

She said she was going to marry Jiang Ke'er. Could it be that Jiang Ke'er happened to be in the Western Regions as well?

There are too many doubts.

However, despite all the mysteries, Jiang Keer knew that Qiao Qianxue was not an enemy.

That's what her intuition told her.

She chose to trust her intuition.

Holding her breath, Jiang Keer stretched out her hand cautiously.

Although she believed in her intuition, Jiang Ke'er still wanted to take a peek at the face under the veil. She didn't know why she was so eager.

She was driven by a strange emotion, as if she were yearning for someone so intensely that she could not bear it after a long absence.

miss……?

Why……

"I'll just take a look, just one look!"

Jiang Ke'er clenched her teeth tightly, holding her breath so hard that her heart was beating wildly. She reached out her hand and picked up the white cloth of Mi Li.

"hiss--"

Just as she created a small gap, she retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

Under the veil, Qiao Qianxue had a playful smile on her lips, her eyes open, staring straight at Jiang Keer.

This instantly made Jiang Keer have a high fever.

She, she, she saw everything I did just now? ? ?

Ahhhh how embarrassing!

It's like being caught red-handed while doing something bad. It's so terrible!

"If you want to watch it, just watch it openly. It's no big deal." Qiao Qianxue said softly.

"No! No need!"

Jiang Ke'er lowered her head, feeling extremely embarrassed and shook her head repeatedly.

She had just seen Yixu, and at least she confirmed that the other party was not an enemy.

The broken soul carried all the good memories with it, but she would never forget the face of her enemy... She could be sure that the other party was definitely not here to harm her.

The thunder outside the temple gradually stopped and the rain became much lighter.

Jiang Ke'er's ears suddenly perked up.

Some unusual rustling noises came into her ears. The sound was hidden in the sound of rain and could deceive others but not herself.

She quickly got up, woke Li Niu up, and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Li Niu widened his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Are you here?"

Jiang Ke'er nodded: "Go wake up the others and tell them to wait at the back door."

The slight noise came from the direction of the main gate, which meant that the other party was preparing to attack directly from the main gate.

But for the time being, no sound of the flute was heard.

The absence of flute sound meant that the trainer should be staying next to the giant bears, so he could give orders to them directly without using the flute.

So, that is to say...

Jiang Ke'er made a prompt decision! She walked straight to the door holding the long flute!

She aimed at the mouthpiece.

"Woo——"

The sobbing sound of the flute instantly spread across the mountains and forests, reaching the other party one step ahead of the other party.

"Roar--"

"boom--"

"what--"

Three consecutive sounds immediately came from the woods not far away.

"*!——"

Soon, a burst of curses and orders came from the woods that Jiang Keer could not understand, and the forest gradually became quiet.

But Jiang Ke'er did not give the other party a chance to breathe. She continued to blow a series of notes without hesitation.

The notes even form a short tune!

"?!"

The shadows of animals danced in the woods, and suddenly there were screams of people. The roars continued to shake the forest. The surrounding trees fell down in all directions. The giant bears seemed to have completely fallen into a violent and chaotic state.

Obviously, compared to the abuse from people around him, the sound of the flute was the highest priority command.

But the opponent didn't even have time to pick up the flute before the violent giant bear disrupted his rhythm.

Soon there was no sound of anyone in the woods.

Jiang Ke'er changed the tune, and the mournful sound of the flute became gentle and peaceful.

The forest gradually became quiet. Several confused huge figures lingered there for a moment and soon dispersed.

Jiang Ke'er then put down the flute and looked back. She found that she was surrounded by stunned caravan members without knowing when.

Li Niu and the masked fat man in black were also nearby, and seemed stunned by the scene before them.

There was clearly a fight in the woods just now, and this fight was undoubtedly caused by Jiang Keer's flute sound.

She struck first, leaving the opponent no time to respond, and ended up causing the giant bear she had raised to retaliate.

"how did you do it?"

Even though they had seen it with their own eyes and heard Jiang Keer explain the principle, everyone still felt that the scene before them was like a dream.

"It's very simple. These bears can't understand human language. They only recognize the sound of the flute," Jiang Ke'er explained. "So it doesn't matter who comes to play... Of course, not everyone can play such a big flute. Fortunately, I have practiced before."

"But the owner of these bears..." Li Niu was puzzled, "Didn't he have any precautions?"

"He wanted to, too," Jiang Ke'er said with a smile, "but a human can't beat a bear. When they trained the bears, they must have used a lot of heavy equipment to make up for the lack of manpower. And it's impossible to carry these equipment on his back, so he has no choice."

"Amazing." Li Niu exclaimed in amazement, "Girl, you are simply the living Zhuge Liang."

"Thank you for the compliment," Jiang Ke'er happily accepted the compliment and walked towards the forest first, "Let's go and see who is behind this."

19. Picking Mushrooms

After this incident, everyone in the caravan looked at Jiang Ke'er with new eyes.

Before this, no one had ever thought that she could actually accomplish such a feat.

Not only that, the culprit was dealt with without any bloodshed.

She is not only an outstanding doctor, but also good at this kind of miraculous magic, helping the caravan to escape danger.

The caravan really found a great treasure!

“Hey, this guy…”

Although this bear handler with ill intentions had been torn to pieces by his men, Jiang Ke'er still recognized some of the accessories on his body.

These are some amulets popular in the southern Xinjiang tribes, with runes of formations engraved on them. He probably didn't expect that he could still overturn with six bears, so he didn't hide his identity.

"It's someone from Southern Xinjiang," Li Niu picked up the amulet, walked to the fat man in black and masked, and whispered, "I'm afraid the situation in Southern Xinjiang has changed. Sir, should we..."

The fat man in black clothes and mask didn't say anything, just shook his head.

Li Niu sighed and said he understood.

Jiang Ke'er and the guys around saw Li Niu's behavior. Everyone realized that the identity of this fat man in black and mask was not simple, but everyone was tactful and did not ask any more questions.

There is no benefit in knowing things that you shouldn't know.

"There is a letter."

Jiang Keer suddenly found a piece of letter paper among the man’s clothing fragments.

Most of the letter was stained red with blood, but when Jiang Ke'er held the letter up to the torch, she was still able to see some words on it.

"The Dali Temple Minister Di Renjie has... Hey! What are you doing!"

Before Jiang Ke'er finished reading, Li Niu suddenly stumbled and pushed her arm.

The letter immediately hit the blazing torch and caught fire.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, put out the fire!"

Li Niu quickly snatched the letter and soaked it in the mud.

After the fire, the mud splashed and the dust on the letter paper was completely dissolved by water. Even the most skilled detective would not be able to see the original handwriting.

On the remaining letter paper, one could only vaguely see a tiger head pattern printed on the last corner of the paper.

"It's the totem of the Wanhu Sect," Jiang Ke'er recognized it at a glance. "The Wanhu Sect used to be a beast-taming sect in the mountains of Southern Xinjiang. This method of training bears should be the method used by the Wanhu Sect."

"Girl, you are really well-informed," Li Niu said with a face full of annoyance, "Luckily you are well-informed, otherwise I would have gained nothing. It's all because of this broken stone that tripped me..."

"It's okay," Jiang Ke'er looked at Li Niu and didn't say much about what she saw.

She guessed that it should be a secret letter to assassinate Di Renjie, the Minister of Dali Temple. Since the mark of Wanhu Sect appeared, it was very likely a secret letter issued by Wanhu Sect.

"It's strange. The Wanhu Sect has always been on good terms with our Tang Dynasty. What's wrong with them recently?" Li Niu looked at the mark in confusion. "Also, why did they come to this mountain to attack merchants... It's really evil."

"God knows, but I'm afraid I won't be at peace next time," Jiang Ke'er sighed, "I'm lucky this time because I know how to play. What if they send Tiger to play suona next time? I won't have anywhere to find suona."

"We won't be that unlucky. We are just small merchants!" Li Niu looked at the anxious shop assistants and comforted them. "We just happened to run into each other. There is no reason for them to be so mean to small merchants like us. Besides, they won't be so blatant to deal with us merchants from the Tang Dynasty... We must trust the court!"

The guys were a little scared, but after all, they were veterans who had traveled the trade route many times, and this was not the first time they had experienced such a dangerous situation.

So they quickly calmed down.
