The two drove the carriage up to meet them, picked up Ding Xiaoyi and his group and got into the carriage, then hurried down the mountain.

They had just walked away, about an hour later.

On top of the palace building, I saw a squirrel with three tails, flying across the palace gate angrily, and after searching twice around the huge [Biyuan Hall] to no avail, it squeaked and screamed.

"Little guy, what's wrong with you!"

An old man appeared behind the squirrel, waved his hand, and held the squirrel in his arms.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

After the squirrel gestured at the old man for a while, the old man suddenly burst into laughter, took out a crystal-clear jade-like pine nut from his sleeve and stuffed it into the little guy's arms with a doting look on his face.

"It's strange that you still get stolen. It's strange. What kind of master is the other party to let you, a smart little guy, suffer such a big loss?"

The squirrel hugged the pine nut, its eyes wandering around, but no matter how the old man asked, he refused to tell who had stolen his home.

"Forget it, I won't force you if you don't tell me. This is a search for the sacred incense. Just take it. If the other party doesn't return it to you, don't bother with it. If the emperor finds out that you escaped privately, I'm afraid he will definitely blame you.
