Reincarnated As a Fox With System novel Chapter 659

Chapter 659 Chapter 659: Timely Strike!

Of course, the people from the Imperial side would not generously let those two intruder foxes go that easily.

With so many think tanks like ministers from various departments and war-hardened generals, they already planned several layers of traps to intercept those intruders before they could escape out of the Imperial City.

The agreement between them was based on a threat with the Emperor's life on the line, so it was fated to never be a peaceful one from the very start.

The two foxes should have already known it when they planned to execute their plan. It was just Tang Li Xue did not have any more clue about their next plan after this.

Tang Li Xue shook her head and said with a solemn expression: "There is no need for me to know about those foxes' next moves, but I must know every move on the Imperial side."

"If I managed to obtain some crucial information about the Imperial side's next plans, I could find the most appropriate time when the guard at the Imperial Treasury room became the most lax."

"At that time, I will rob all the Imperial Treasures swiftly before those two foxes can get out from the Imperial City." Tang Li Xue finalized her next plan.

Tang Li Xue leisurely sat on the pavilion beside the fishpond and sipped the tea which was served by a maid.

Meanwhile, Wang Shan finally came back after inquiring about the crucial news on the Imperial side that Tang Li Xue urgently needed.

Wang Shan smiled joyously as he sat on the chair at the opposite of Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue generously poured the tea from the teapot onto Wang Shan's cup and asked with a mesmerizing smile on her stunningly beautiful face: "How about it?"

Wang Shan instantly dazzled and happily told all information he got after inquiring from his father's several acquaintances.

"Those intruders are really dangerous. They actually dared to burn many important places in the Imperial Palace, so the ministers and generals feared that those intruders would really burn down the entire Imperial Palace if they continued to do this." Wang Shan worriedly told to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched a bit as she doubtfully thought: 'Burned many important places? Uhh, I only burned down two places, right?'

Actually, Tang Li Xue really managed to burn many places without realizing it since her flames spread out very quickly because of the strong wind.

"After discussing the countermeasure together, the imperial court decided to pretend to agree with the intruders' requests first in order to minimize the damage, but they planned to secretly set several traps to catch the intruders outside the Imperial Palace instead." Wang Shan continued to say to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue nodded delightfully at the news from Wang Shan.

Because she had already burned down several places in the Imperial Palace, those people from the imperial court definitely would not want to fight inside the Imperial Palace anymore since they might really burn down the entire Imperial Palace if they did that.

Just as she had wished for, those people from the imperial court planned to move their battlefield outside the Imperial Palace, so their battle would not ruin the Imperial Palace even further!

When the people from the imperial court play with those two foxes outside the Imperial Palace later, she would have an opportunity to execute her own plan to rob the Imperial Treasury room.

Step by step everything went according to her plan so far...

"Imperial court even planned to set many other traps outside the Imperial City to make sure that those intruders would not be able to escape." Wang Shan added while sipping the tea to relieve his dry throat.

But Tang Li Xue shook her head while thinking: 'It would be too late by then...'

'If those two foxes managed to go out of this Imperial City even if it was only one step, one of them would immediately count as the winner of this treasure game, and the winner would immediately be teleported out from this treasure game's space while the rest would be eliminated from this Foxes Hunting Festival. So, it should be impossible to catch them outside the Imperial City.' Tang Li Xue concluded in her mind.

In fact, Tang Li Xue was also gambling this time.

She was betting that she could survive by robbing the Imperial treasures just like the previous Vermillion Flame Fox could survive after robbing the City Lord's hidden treasures from the Cult Leader at the last moment.

If she lost this gamble, then she would certainly be eliminated from this Foxes Hunting Festival like one of those two foxes.

Yes, since there would only be one winner in this treasure game, one of those two foxes would definitely be eliminated.

Despite that, Tang Li Xue did not plan to say anything to help or warn the Imperial Court side since the more they split their people to set the trap for those two intruder foxes, the more advantageous it would be for Tang Li Xue since it meant that the guards inside the Imperial Palace would certainly become more lax.

Since the people from the Imperial Court side had already started to make their moves, Tang Li Xue no longer had any intention to make any rash move to minimize her chance of getting caught by those people.

All she needed to do right now was wait patiently...

Of course, Tang Li Xue did not remain idle at this time.

After discussing with her perfect copy, she decided to let her perfect copy follow Wang Shan out from the Imperial Palace.

If something untoward happened later, Tang Li Xue could easily get out of the Imperial Palace with her usual [Swap] tactic.
