My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 451 Silver Fox
"Does the forbidden garden lack prey? The foxes in the mountains steal the farmer's chickens. It is the middle of winter when there is little food. They have to take risks for food. It is only the first snow now, and there is still a bonfire in the camp."

"Brothers, think about it, since the Forbidden Garden is not short of prey, why did that fox take the risk of coming to the camp to steal chickens?"

"We don't want to, just want to sleep."

Li You pulled Li Yin and was about to go back, but Li Zhi grabbed him.His strength at this time is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"That fox has a cub, and it has to catch food for the cub, so it will take risks when it is short of food."

"Moreover, its lair should not be far from here. Generally, this kind of animal is very smart. When raising cubs, its range of activities will not be too far from the area where the cubs are."

Li You left directly, walked to the tent where the little princes were sleeping, and called up the three little princes without being polite at all.

"Quick, get dressed, let's catch the silver fox."

Three princes, you look at me, I look at you, that depressed and helpless!
Li Yin looked at Li Zhi, then at his fifth brother.

"Let's go to work, how can they sleep late, as brothers, they will naturally have the same blessings and share the difficulties."

Li You walked over, Li Zhi looked at his younger brothers, and could only smile wryly, Li Fu and Li Mingcai were the same age as Heng Shan, and they took them to catch foxes at night.

After the group got dressed, Li Zhi had already summoned more than a dozen Beiya imperial guards, and now he was chasing the trace left by the fox, and kept looking forward.

However, the traces were soon broken, and several people searched around, but failed to find new traces.

"Your Highness, we can't find any new traces, we lost them."

"I didn't lose it. This guy is really smart. He knows how to erase the traces. It seems that its lair is nearby."

"The torch is out, this thing is extremely clever, it should have spotted us."

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

At this time several torches had been extinguished, Li Zhi lay down on the snow and looked around.

The people next to him had already crouched down. Li Zhi looked around and pointed to a few places, and a few soldiers of the imperial army hurried over cautiously.

In the dead of night, only the north wind passing through the woods, the whistling of the wind, accompanied by the sound of branches and grass scraping the snow.

After a while, a soldier of the Imperial Army retreated carefully, pointing in one direction.

"Your Highness, I just saw a shadow shake for a while, and then disappeared."

"Come on, this guy is transferring the cubs, let's catch them."

"The torch was lit again, and the six princes and a dozen or so guard soldiers surrounded him in a semicircle."

Under the moonlight, that white shadow was extremely difficult to catch. It was hard to distinguish that shadow from the snow, and everyone was shocked.

A snow-white fox is running away with a small fox in its mouth. The speed is a bit frightening. Even with a small fox in its mouth, it is impossible for people to catch it.

It was late at night again, and this kind of silver fox could easily blend into the snowy background.

"Sou, it can't have only one cub, otherwise it wouldn't be so short of food."

The team scattered and searched the surroundings carefully. Li Zhi was also holding a torch at this time. Suddenly, a somewhat thin silver-white fox ran in front of Li Zhi and grinned at it.

"Little guy, you are very protective of the calf."

Li Zhi held the torch, but the silver-white fox refused to budge. It was obvious that there was something it was guarding behind.

The people around had gathered around and looked at the unusually behaving silver fox one after another.

"How about it, fifth brother and sixth brother, I'm right!"

Li Zhi handed the torch to the imperial guard next to him, squatted down, stretched out his fingers, and touched the silver fox whose tail hair had blown up.

"Jiu Di be careful, this thing is not a rabbit."

"Fifth brother, the rabbit bites people when it's anxious, but it won't. This silver fox was raised by people."

Li Zhi stretched out his hand and touched the silver fox's fur. After a while, the silver fox's blown tail fell down softly.

"Little guy, come with me!"

Those purple jewel-like fox eyes looked at Li Zhi, and his tail swept the snow.

"Hey, did you just use this tail to sweep away the marks?"

"Okay, everyone back ten feet away and bring the pheasant they brought."

There were soldiers there who took the pheasants they had brought. Li Zhi told the others to back off, but he also backed off.

The silver fox looked at the crowd, grabbed the pheasant, pierced its neck with its sharp teeth, bit it a few times, and dragged it away.

"Okay, everyone retreats, let's go back to camp."

"Jiudi, what are you doing? You are finally caught. Why are we going back again?"

"It's okay, this little guy was raised by others, as long as you don't hurt it, it is willing to get close to you."

Li Zhi has the highest status here, so naturally others can't do anything about it. Seeing King Jin return to the camp first, they can only follow.

On the second day, a few pheasants left outside the camp were also stolen. After daylight, the silver fox wandered around the camp, and did not run away when it saw someone watching it.

At this time, the princesses and princes have naturally discovered the silver fox, and Hengshan and Sizi have stars in their eyes.

"Two imperial sisters, go and feed them if you like."

Li Zhi took the remaining rabbit and broke one of its legs.

"Brother Huang, you are so cruel, can't you use a knife?"

"Si, what's the difference between using a knife and using your hands? Hurry up and feed it!"

Sizi held the rabbit leg and approached the silver fox, the little guy screamed a few times vigilantly, Sizi and Heng Shan put down the rabbit leg and backed away.

The team stayed here for three days, and the prey they caught every day were randomly thrown outside the camp, leaving only a small part.

The silver fox started to be vigilant, and gradually became bolder. On the third day, it saw the two little princesses asking for food.

This kind of creature raised by people was already close to people, and Li Zhi didn't know how it came to the Forbidden Garden, but this kind of creature's nature of being close to people couldn't be changed.

This is probably a bit like cats and dogs raised by later generations.

By noon that day, Hengshan and Sizi had already returned to the camp with a little silver fox in their arms, and the silver fox was still holding one in its mouth.

The three cubs all looked like they had just arrived and their hair was fully grown. It was no wonder that this little guy was short of food as soon as winter came.

"Okay, little guy, follow us into the palace, and you won't have to worry about food in the future. If you stay here, you won't be able to feed three cubs this winter."

Li Zhi threw a rabbit back, and the silver fox jumped up, holding it in its mouth.

After a few days, the silver fox had maintained a trusting attitude with the team.

Li Zhi didn't think about harming this kind of animal that was raised by people from the beginning, and tried to make it willing to follow him actively.

After all, Li Zhi wants to bring them into the palace to raise them, so trusting each other is naturally the best ending.
