Cub Nursery

Honglu Temple is the same as when Du Qin first came back. The cement firing workshop and small steelmaking furnace are still there, but they have been abandoned for a long time, but they are all cleaned up.

The group of monster cubs were not there, only the baby was leading the way.

Du Qinsheng was careful all the way. In fact, he was a bully in the capital, his sister was the favored concubine Xian, and his father was a favorite minister. Anyone who sees Du Qinsheng must not give up three points.

Now Du Qinsheng is in charge of the small workshop, and the soap on hand is exported to all parts of Daqin, and that prestigious person has to give him some favors when he sees him.

But for Yan Xun, Du Qinsheng felt that he was a little short before meeting the baby, and he didn't dare to speak loudly when he saw the baby.

"Father." Seeing Jing Fengye, the baby called out.

Du Qinsheng didn't dare to raise his head, and hurriedly shouted, "Master Jing."

Jing Fengye was standing outside against the wall, wearing old clothes, specially changed for work.

He has long hands and long legs, and there are obvious dragon scale marks on his hands and neck exposed outside his clothes, and his aura is horrifying.

Du Qinsheng walked far away with the baby, so he couldn't help looking back, seeing Jing Fengye just looking over, he trembled all over, and hurried forward to catch up with the baby.

Just now what he saw was not Lord Jing, but a fierce beast that towered above the sky, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Father, my dad is squatting outside and doesn't know what he is thinking, is he dead?" After entering the room, Bao Bao ran to look for Yan Xun, talking about Jing Fengye outside.

"I'll let him rest for a while, so he can't work all the time." Yan Xun said casually.

Seeing Yan Xun again, he is still the same as when Du Qinsheng first met him, his face is like a peach blossom, in his [-]th year, he has not changed at all from the Yan Xun whom Du Qinsheng first met back then.

Du Qinsheng himself is somewhat mature, with flesh growing on his body and a few pimples appearing on his face, he has lost the childishness of his youth, and has become like an adult. He even got married under Du Xuanfeng's arrangement. I met my favorite brother.

Yan Xun was like this at the beginning, after entering the Honglu Temple, he seemed to be a different person when he came out, with a trace of detachment everywhere.

At this time Yan Xun was still the same, holding a scroll of paintings in his hand, watching carefully.

Du Qinsheng shrunk his neck, and remembered what Yan Xun said to him in an understatement, that he was asked to sell soap, but it could not be said that it was soap from Honglu Temple, and later he was asked to sell tofu, the same cannot be said, otherwise he would threaten Him, let him have no good fruit to eat.

"Master Yan." Now Du Qinsheng dare not call 'Yan Xun' anymore, and when he saw Yan Xun, he honestly shouted, "I took the glazed lamp from the workshop, but I have already made up the money, and the account book is also written clearly." It's..."

"Well, it's okay." Yan Xun put away the scroll, put it carefully in the wooden box, and smiled at Du Qinsheng, "Since you're here, help with the work. There's a lot of work today, and those people didn't come. You Just don't go."

"Come with me..." Bao Bao immediately laughed, "I have a lot of work today, and my brothers are all in the border town and can't help, so you just came..."

Du Qinsheng didn't dare to refuse, so he had to follow the baby out.

There are various arrangements for Honglu Temple, all of which are made by Yan Xun and Jing Fengye with their baby, Si Ping, and Du Qinsheng.

Du Qinsheng couldn't study well, his brush and calligraphy were like dogs crawling, and he could only help with some physical work. At the end of the day, he was so tired that he lay on the ground directly. It was Du's servants who came to carry Du Qinsheng back.

"Come back tomorrow." Baby chased to the gate and shouted at Du Qinsheng.

Du Qinsheng was startled, and wanted to say that he still had something to do, but he was so tired that he couldn't speak at all.

"That's it." The baby said happily.

In the evening, Yan Xun cooked dinner in the stove of Honghe Temple, lean meat porridge, bread, and a plate of cold fungus.

The baby's plate was not big enough, so there was only one steamed bun. He squatted next to the plate, took out a knife, cut a piece of steamed stuffed bun, and put it in his mouth, "Father, when are we going to the border town? Those people are squatting on their own houses and pretending to be sick." , what if you don’t come out?”

"The preparations for Honglu Temple are almost the same. Let Du Qinsheng help guard them. We will take them all to the train tomorrow." Yan Xun said, "General Wei should be ready, right?"

"En." The baby nodded.

"That's good." Yan Xun immediately felt relieved.

Now the guard city leads soldiers to guard the seaside, saying it is guarding the bloodthirsty fish monster, but actually guarding the salt field, preventing others from intervening.

And when Yang Shuning was at the seaside, he once robbed Yan Xun's grain depot, owed a huge sum of money, and complained to the emperor, and finally Yan Xun became the director of the salt department.

Even though the city guards the town and the seaside, the imperial court has not allocated much food and the Minister of the Household Department is still crying for poverty, so... guarding the city also owes Yan Xun money and food.

This time when Yan Xun was in trouble, it was only natural for him to borrow troops from the guard city.

For this reason, as the guard city personally led the troops to leave the seaside, cross the Danxin Bridge and break into the capital, and a series of rumors spread throughout the capital instantly like the wind.

Early in the morning, the Taoist soldiers were still walking on the wide concrete road, and the people who were still sleeping at home already knew what was going on outside.

"I heard from brother Dan of Xu Liangmei's family that the courtiers who will welcome the envoys from the demon kingdom have been appointed this time, but they are unwilling to meet the envoys from the demon kingdom and are hiding at home."

"Master Yan has no choice but to ask General Wei to borrow troops."

"Originally, General Wei borrowed money and food from Lord Yan to support his soldiers, and he wanted the court to return it. Now that Lord Yan asked General Wei to borrow troops, the money and food will be written off."

"Master Yan really suffered a lot."

"The envoy of the demon country is here again, why?"

"Isn't it because of the victory in the border town? Think about the envoys from the demon country before?"

"If that's the case, what's there to be afraid of? Since it's to welcome the envoys from the Demon Kingdom, it's not just to show the strength of our Great Qin, why are they still hiding?"

"Who knows."

For ordinary people, they don't know how high the general's cultivation base is, how capable he is, and they don't know the ability of the big monster. The incomparable changes are nothing more than talk to the common people.

They'll never understand until they've seen it with their own eyes.

But the common people understand this kind of reasoning. It’s like two farmers who don’t like each other. One of the farmers who is beaten every day suddenly wins the other. The other family sends people to make peace. To entertain, so as to have face.

For the common people, what they think is that simple.

Daqin won the battle, and the people felt much safer. They spread word of mouth, and even the servants of the big family knew about these things.

"Master, many people say that Master...is as timid as a mouse..." the servant said cautiously.

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable! What do the common people know? The monsters in the demon country can easily face them, and they don't even know when they are eaten!" Huang Shilang said angrily, "Go and find out who started the rumor .”

Overnight, everyone outside knew it, even the people in the house knew it clearly.

With Huang Shilang's ability, even if he checks the world, he won't find anything.

What's more, the boy was blocked before he even went out.

"Master, it's not good. The front door, the back door, and the corner door are all blocked by Taoist soldiers." The boy came back scrambling, frightened.

"What's going on?" Huang Shilang was also taken aback, and began to desperately think about what he had exposed, and even more so, he thought that maybe the emperor despised him, and someone below was trying to figure out the holy will and wanted to test him.

Thinking of this, Huang Shilang fell to the ground, losing all energy.

The outsiders are all strong and well-cultivated Taoist soldiers. They made a move, but no one can escape.

"Please Huang Shilang come out, it's time to go on the road." Guard City said solemnly.

The Taoist soldiers immediately shouted in unison.

Hearing these words, Huang Shilang's complexion became even more ashamed.

After a while, the boy ran back again, "Master, I want you to go to the seaside train station."

"What?" Huang Shilang opened his eyes suddenly, didn't he let him go on the road?

At this time, Huang Shilang suddenly remembered that he still had an errand to welcome the envoys from the Demon Kingdom.

Going to the seaside railway station is obviously to take the train to the border town to meet the envoys of the demon country there.

This life was temporarily saved, Huang Shilang breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Help me up, I still need to make some preparations, let the Taoist soldiers outside wait."

"Yes, master." The servant hurried out.

Before morning, Huang Shilang was escorted by the Taoist soldiers to the seaside railway station, where he saw many acquaintances, all of them were ashen-faced, as if they were mourning, and some people cursed Yan Xun.

"The envoys of the demon country come as soon as they come. I'll just wait to meet them in the capital. I have to go to the border town. Some people are really humble."

"Then to please the demon country, why not go to the demon country as well."

"It's not an official of Daqin at all!"

At this time, they turned their hearts to the court again, but they cursed Yan Xun vigorously, but they didn't dare to name him, they didn't dare to say it, they only dared to mutter vaguely in their mouths.

Honglu Temple.

Du Qinsheng was about to cry, he got the job of guarding the Honglu Temple, waiting for the envoys from the Demon Kingdom to arrive, it was almost...

"Master Yan, didn't I just take a glazed lamp and gave me all the money, so there is no need, no need to torture me like this?" Du Qinsheng stood at the gate of Honglu Temple, looking at Yan Xun eagerly, hoping that he could Take it back.

"Just do me this favor, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future." Yan Xun was unmoved, "Besides, your father and Concubine Xian both sent someone to tell me, let me direct you as you like."

The two most powerful people in the family have spoken, and it is useless for Du Qinsheng to say anything else.

Leaving Honglu Temple, Yan Xun rubbed the center of his eyebrows and asked, "Is the seaside train station messy?"

"It's okay, they don't dare to go too far. General Wei personally led the troops to guard it." Bao Bao said old-fashionedly, "Shaking the mountain is still in the border town, this time General Wei can't go to the border town, so naturally he has to help us a lot."

His own son is still in the border town, and the guard city also wants to follow, but because of his duty, and the identity of the Shaking Mountain Cub is unknown, he can only attack these useless courtiers.

"Let Jiaqing follow, he should want to shake the mountain." Yan Xun said, "This time the situation is special, I don't know when the envoy of the demon country will leave."

"Hey." The baby also sighed.

At the beach, Yan Xun got off the carriage and entered the train station.

The seaside railway station is much larger than the border town railway station. Not far away is the Daoist camp, and farther away is the Great Wall, which is as tall as a mountain. The scenery is excellent.

However, the atmosphere inside the train station was not very good.

There was a circle of Taoist soldiers outside, seeing Yan Xun, Jing Fengye and the baby coming in, they all hurried out of the way.

Inside, Huang Shilang was sitting on the bench, his face getting more and more ugly, black as if dripping water.

Just now he repeated his old tricks and wanted to pretend to be sick, but he didn't expect the group of Taoist soldiers to call Huo Lao here soon.

Huo Lao glanced at Huang Shilang and said directly: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a heart disease. If it doesn't work, I'll drink a soup and medicine, and I'm sure I'll fall asleep on the train and go to the border town."

This is not an imperial court, surrounded by Taoist soldiers who are ruthless and ruthless, and Huo Lao who speaks mercilessly. Huang Shilang is a standard civil servant. He has never had a good relationship with generals, and he has no friendship with Huo Lao. How dare the son pretend to be sick, and just got up by himself.

But the soup is still prepared, a big black pot, just looking at it makes one's scalp tingle.

"Those who are afraid of taking the train, you can come and drink this soup, I guarantee you won't feel anything." Huo Lao put down these words and left.

The Taoist soldiers around all stared at this group of people with wide eyes, as if they could rush up and force them to drink the soup at any time.

"Get ready to get on the train." Yan Xun glanced at these people casually, "All of you occupy a car, take care of food and drink, don't worry about anything else, go."

Hearing the voice, Huang Shilang looked over and saw Si Ping standing behind Yan Xun. He had put on new clothes and was carrying a burden. He looked very energetic, obviously he wasn't going to be in the same carriage with them later.

"Please!" Dao soldiers shouted in unison.

Where do these people dare to resist, there are some who resist. One of them just stayed in his house and refused to come out. It wasn't that the servants of the family chased up to deliver the clothes, he was afraid that he would have to wear the middle clothes all the time.

Huang Shilang felt resentful in his heart, thinking that when this trip was over, he would definitely impeach Yan Xun and Wei Shoucheng!

The others thought the same way, and they all felt that they were bearing the burden of humiliation, and they all boarded the train with aggrieved faces.

The iron gate slammed shut, and Huang Shilang froze, knowing that he could never go back.

Yan Xun and Jing Fengye also got on the train, and Jia Qing chased after him, "Master Yan, can I go to the border town?"

"Oh, Dad told you to go. There are so many things here that I almost forgot. Come with me." Yan Xun and Jing Fengye had already boarded the train, but the baby was still behind.

The baby is small, but the wooden box beside him is huge. He holds the wooden box easily and looks back at Jiaqing.

"Thank you, Master Xiaodan." Jia Qing hurriedly said, "Let me help you get the wooden box."

"No, my wooden box is full of mechanical parts, you can't move it." Bao Bao said lightly, "Do you want to shake the mountain? That's my brother too, I know, he must miss you too, but in the end it's because of different identities Same, now I have to hide it."

Jia Qing followed behind, listening to the baby's words, her eyes turned red, "It's fine now, but I was incompetent back then, so it was so hard to support him..."

Putting the wooden box aside, Bao Bao led Jia Qing into the carriage.

There are rows of seats on both sides, and there are small tables in the middle, all of which are empty now.

The baby took out the cup familiarly, poured hot water for himself, and poured some for Jia, "I heard from my father, I don't blame you. In the past, the border towns wanted to drive out monsters. It's different from now. .But you like General Wei, right?"

Jia Qing blushed, and said in a low voice: "Yes. But General Wei likes my brother, I know I can't..."

"Hey, in this life, don't always hang on a grass. General Wei feels guilty for your brother and keeps you by his side all the time, but do you think this is appropriate?" The baby's old-fashioned, tender voice insisted on pretending It is an old man who has gone through vicissitudes, "Since there is no possibility between you, why don't you think about others?"

"But..." Jiaqing opened her mouth, looking at the baby who was drinking water calmly, she was suddenly speechless.

At the beginning, he secretly raised Shashan cubs, and every time he saw the bruised cubs, he felt sad, and when he thought of his brother who died in vain, he couldn't tell whether he liked or hated Weishoucheng more.

He always threatened Wei Shoucheng with kindness, not wanting Wei Shoucheng to forget his brother.

It was because only he knew about the existence of the Shaking Mountain Cub back then, and he subconsciously didn't want the Guardian City to like others anymore. If that was the case, what would the Shaking Mountain Cub be who was struggling to survive?

He knew that he was actually very annoying, and the guards around the city were unwilling to talk to him. He did a lot of annoying things and said a lot of annoying things, and the reason why he was able to stay in Wei Shoucheng's side is just because Weishoucheng likes his brother.

Listening to what the baby said, Jiaqing was at a loss for a moment, he didn't even know why he was alive.

"Shaanshan misses you very much, and then you will go to the umbrella workshop to accompany him." Yan Xun didn't know when he would appear, and he patted Jiaqing's shoulder, "Little Dan just listens to my nonsense on weekdays, don't you Take it to heart."

"En." Jiaqing sniffed and sat beside her, lost in thought.

Now the Shanshan cub doesn't need him to feed him secretly. The little cub got rid of his illness, has his own little partner, and has learned a lot of knowledge. Now he has gone to the border town to make great contributions, and even led the army.

He no longer needs to hide, but rides a small iron donkey on the concrete road in the border town openly and aboveboard.

Those who have exterminated the monsters are distinguishing the Shaking cub from the monsters in the Yao Kingdom. The monsters who attacked the city in the Yao Kingdom are abominable, but the Shaking Cub has done nothing wrong. He is different from those monsters. He is good. Cub.

The cub has changed, so what about Jiaqing?Does he need to change too?

His elder brother has a very high level of cultivation and excellent talent. If he hadn't guarded the city, he would definitely be a big monster in the future.

Although he is not as talented as his brother, but compared to ordinary soldiers, his talent is also very good, why can't he make contributions like his brother.

The little cub no longer needs to hide behind him, and he doesn't need to pester the guard city like a madman. It's time to live for himself.

"I figured it out, thank you, Master Xiaodan." Jia Qing said seriously.

"Hey." Bao Bao smiled at Jia Qing.

Yan Xun fetched a charcoal stove, put an iron plate on it, brushed it with oil, put sliced ​​meat and vegetables on it and fried it, the delicious smell wafted out of the car window, turned a corner, and wafted to the window of the next car.

Huang Shilang sniffed, looked bitterly at the iron gate connecting the two carriages, and muttered: "Si Ping is really not a thing, he is obviously the same as us, but he doesn't live here."

"There must be barbecue next door!" Someone said with drooling.
