A Guide to Keeping a Domestic Unicorn

When Qi Jia and Qing Yan transported the food back to the barracks, that Yu Guoan didn't investigate the matter.He has known for a long time that this matter is not as simple as a small soldier's corruption. Now that the entire military camp is short of food, how much a small fire-headed soldier can be greedy, there must be a big crocodile behind the scenes. Sure enough, after checking around the military camp, someone came over The whistleblower reported that Mr. Zhao Lietao, who was in charge of accounting in the military camp, was invited.

That Mr. Zhao is a big celebrity in the imperial court, he is the son of Prime Minister Zhao, and Prime Minister Zhao's daughter is the mother and concubine of the fourteenth prince, that is to say, Zhao Lietao is the uncle of the fourteenth prince.Their Zhao family has already produced several noble concubines and queens, who have been nobles for generations, and in Zhao Lietao's generation, they can simply cover the sky with one hand and do whatever they want.

Prime Minister Zhao is old and has five daughters under his knees. He was the only son, so he was sent to this military camp to practice with the army. Manipulating power, embezzling military pay and deducting military rations, of course, he is not the only one who has been corrupt. Many officials in the army have joined forces with him to embezzle the huge sum of money from the treasury.

Seeing that the soldiers are in panic now, and the soldiers are going to make trouble if they don't have enough to eat, Zhao Lietao wanted to silence the people below, so he called several officers, big and small, who hadn't been recruited to the banquet, and privately served them under the plates They all posted valuable silver notes.

Most of these officers were afraid of the power of the Zhao family, so they took it away, so they all withdrew their original search warrants and turned a blind eye to the military rations.

Only Yu Guoan has a more careful mind. He has not been promoted in the army for many years because he can't understand those flattery and is unwilling to cling to the powerful. Starving to death in such a desperate situation, he felt extremely disdainful, so he quietly sealed the bank note and a sealed envelope, and quietly presented it to the eunuch who was in charge of serving the prince.

The eunuch was actually bought by the thirteenth prince long ago, and he handed over Yu Guoan's secret letter to the thirteenth prince.

The thirteenth prince and the fourteenth prince have always been at odds. They have long been rivals fighting for the throne on the stage. Seeing that Zhao Lietao is acting like a monster, the secret letter has been reported to the prince. The thirteenth prince thinks this is a fight The opportunity of the fourth prince's party, but he couldn't let himself be damaged, so he rewrote the contents of the secret letter, added more details, and then asked the eunuch to pass it on to the sickly prince.

Of course, the prince was pretending to be sick. After reading the secret letter, he was furious. He didn't expect that Zhao Lietao would take advantage of such an important matter as an army to quell the rebellion, so he called his staff to discuss it. Can't touch Zhao Lietao, after all, he is the only son of Prime Minister Zhao, the Zhao family controls the money of the whole country, the emperor dare not touch the Zhao family easily, and the military affairs are the most important thing.

The prince thought for a moment, thinking that what his father regretted the most in his daily life was that he did not reform the government properly. He was hurt by love and wasted too much time. He asked himself to work hard in the future to revitalize the entire dynasty.

This kind of cancer in the Zhao family must be cut off and cannot be left any longer. Now the morale of the army has been severely damaged by the food problem. If Zhao Lietao is not dealt with, the army's morale will be lost long ago before they reach the southwest!

The prince was usually protected by Emperor Taiyuan and rarely showed his face in political affairs. The officials always thought he was a submissive and weak prince, but in fact the prince's determination was extremely firm.

"Pass me the military order to arrest Zhao Lietao immediately and interrogate him according to the military law!" The prince reprinted the secret letter on the case table and said.

At this time, Qi Jia was already yelling loudly outside the barracks. Behind him were several carts of food, the soldiers were all woken up by him, and even Yu Guoan was alarmed out of the camp. He never expected that these few days A small soldier actually raised food, and that boy named Qi Jia proudly claimed that there was more food stored in the village and town, and hoped that the military camp would pay for it.

At this time, Yu Guoan finally believed Qi Jia and Qing Yan, and hurriedly went to discuss with the officials in charge of the military pay. It was the time when the army was short of food. It would be great if someone could raise food. After all the officials thought it over, they still had to do it for Zhao Lietao Wiping his ass, so he allocated part of the money and asked Yu Guoan to take people to raise food.

Can a small village and town have a large amount of grain specially raised by the state treasury in recent years?One must know that Zhao Lietao sold the original military rations for a huge sum of money.Yu Guoan didn't believe it at first, he just thought that Qi Jia had bought grain from the grain store in the town, and now that the army is short of grain, he could buy as much as he could. When he rushed to the village overnight with his soldiers, he was shocked. !

It turns out that the fields here mature many times in one day!The rice that had just been harvested immediately grew again, and the farmers were going crazy. Every household was so busy harvesting overnight, the whole village was brightly lit with torches!

This kind of miracle shocked Yu Guo'an. He quickly called in hundreds of soldiers to harvest grain with the farmers, but the rice was still growing and maturing.In the end, almost all the soldiers in the barracks went out to grab the harvest. When dawn came, the crazily surging spiritual power of the earth veins seemed to have finally stabilized, and the rice no longer grew wildly at the wrong time.

In a whole night, this small village really raised twice as much food as the army needed!

Yu Guoan didn't believe in God at first, but at this time he had to believe that the prince really had help from heaven.

Since then, although the spiritual power of the earth veins has stopped running wild, the rice here has maintained the characteristic of being ripe all year round, and this small village has lived a prosperous life.Because a child herding cattle said that he saw a white unicorn pulling cakes on the edge of the field, the villagers believed that the unicorn brought auspiciousness, so they built the first temple dedicated to the white unicorn in Qingyan—a small land the size of an ancestral hall. temple.

And the place where the Qilin pulls the cake, in addition to growing Ganoderma lucidum, there are also many spiritual grasses and flowers that are necessary for cultivating immortals. Unfortunately, they were eaten by the local rabbits, wild cats and mountain mice. The road to immortality.

------------------

Yu Guoan was rewarded for his meritorious service in raising food, and he was promoted to three levels in a row.

But the prince's determination made Zhao Lietao, who was still drunk and dreaming of death, a prisoner, shackled and put in a prison car.

Qi Jia and Qingyan finally resolved the food shortage crisis. Although they didn't get any real benefits, they also gained the respect of the Huotou Army.The fire-headed soldiers were originally only afraid of Qingyan's force, but now they admire Qingyan completely, thinking that this army leader is really a capable man.

Of course, the guy who informed and framed was also tied up and interrogated by several people. Sure enough, he took Wang Chu's money to frame Qi Jia.

"I knew it was Wang Chu." After interrogating the informer, Qi Jia said to Qingyan, "This person will harm us in the future."

"Based on this kid's one-sided words, we have no conclusive evidence to prove that Wang Chu was corrupt. Now that Zhao Lietao is said to have been arrested by the prince, Wang Chu must be a man with his tail between his legs. Will he make any moves for a while? You can leave him alone for the time being." " Qingyan said.

Qi Jia objected, "But we can't spare that Wang Chu lightly, let him think that we are easy to bully, and he will try to harm us in the future."

"Let's just be more on guard against him." Qing Yan yawned, "I'm sleepy, go to bed first, and think of a solution tomorrow."

Qi Jia noticed that Qing Yan had been yawning since he came back from the village. Could it be that the exhaustion of spiritual power would also affect his human form?

So on the second day after returning from collecting food, Qingyan fell asleep.

The two black cats finally turned back into human bodies automatically, and with them taking turns on duty at night, they would not be afraid of being murdered, so Qi Jia also fell asleep next to Qingyan.

Qingyan will appear sleepy, mainly because the black unicorn licked his head, and helped him sort out his immature spiritual veins. Now the spiritual power has begun to circulate in his spiritual veins, and he needs to meditate to increase his cultivation. , that is, to replenish sleep.For a holy beast like Qilin, sleeping is also a form of cultivation.

Qi Jia thought that Qingyan's spiritual power was overdrawn after blessing the earth, which affected his physical strength, so he decided to give Qingyan some supplements. He got up in the middle of the night and quietly found a hidden place to open the warehouse, looking for some nutritional supplements.

The shelf with nutritional products was at a corner of the warehouse. When Qi Jia was looking for the shelf, she suddenly found that there seemed to be a door behind the shelf.

He used to leave these large boxes of melatonin and other nutritional supplements here at will, but he hadn't had time to sort them out, and he didn't notice why there was a small door that seemed to be sealed.

"Probably a small abandoned warehouse." Qi Jia said, he knew that this warehouse used to be a factory, and it might be some unused small room for storing sundries.

"Are these nutritional supplements really useful?" Qi Jia moved down the boxes one by one, and more parts were exposed from the small door.

He was suddenly attracted by an object on the door. It turned out that as the box was moved away, there were strips of yellow paper stuck on the door. Looking closely, it turned out to be an old Taoist talisman! ?

"I'll rub it, what kind of Dao talisman should I put on it? Is this boss superstitious?" Qi Jia felt a little overwhelmed.

After looking for some nutritional supplements for the body, Qi Jia happened to pass by the accessories shelf, where some girls bought small accessories from Taobao, and parents bought jewelry for their children to pray for auspiciousness.

"The little unicorn is just a little bit big. I heard that gold and silver can keep children safe, so I can find something to wear for the baby." Qi Jia had an idea, and searched casually, and found a mascot for the Year of the Monkey—transit There are three thousand pure gold monkeys on the bracelet, a little monkey is covering his eyes, a little monkey is covering his ears, and a little monkey is covering his mouth, which looks very cute.

"This year is the year of the monkey in this dynasty, so give it to the baby unicorn! It happens that this kind of bracelet can also be adjusted in size." Qi Jia said and took the bracelet.

At this time, the half-open warehouse door was suddenly blown open by a strong mountain wind, and Qi Jia hurriedly ran out to close the door. Unbeknownst to him, the strong mountain wind made the door on the mysterious little door behind the shelf in the warehouse The corner of the talisman was blown off.
