Cub Nursery

"Stop, stop!" Ruan Duanxi yelled.

The carriage stopped abruptly.

Brother Dan stood next to the mini donkey, with his hands on his hips, looking up at the carriage that looked like a mountain to him.

Ruan Duanxi lifted the curtain and poked his head out, but he didn't see anyone.

He was terrified in his heart. When the big monster entered the city, there were countless people who saw the big monster and looked at the big monster. However, no one pissed their pants in embarrassment like him.

Why is he so special?

Ruan Duanxi didn't dare to think too deeply.

"You want to impeach my father?" Brother Dan's cheeks puffed up with anger, he stepped forward a few steps, and shouted at Ruan Duanxi.

Brother Dan's voice was loud, and now Ruan Duanxi finally saw a small, short cub with a miniature iron donkey parked beside it, almost as big as a stone beside him.

How big is the egg?An average person can hold four or five eggs in one hand.

Brother Egg is a little taller than the egg, wearing round clothes, with legs, feet and arms spread out, he is only a little bigger than the egg.

Ruan Duanxi squinted his eyes so hard that he could clearly see Brother Dan, who was as big as a small stone.

"Son of Yan Xun." Ruan Duanxi murmured, "Monster... cub."

"En?" Brother Dan also narrowed his eyes.

When he broke his shell in the deep mountains, the first thing he saw was the war rabbit cub, experienced Yan Xun's serious illness and recuperation, visited the envoy of the demon kingdom, saw the incomparably huge Du Meiqi, and followed Dan Baobao to see the complexity of the capital The situation, the dark side of those people, he's grown a lot.

Otherwise, he would not choose to stop and face Ruan Duanxi alone.

"Now your father has become the target of public criticism. Even if I don't impeach you, countless people will fall into trouble. I can only blame your father for making too many enemies." Ruan Duanxi got off the carriage, put his hands behind his back, and put on airs, He said to Brother Tan, "I don't want anything to happen to Mr. Yan, but now that the envoys of the demon kingdom don't leave, everyone in the capital will definitely blame Mr. Yan, especially the emperor... If the emperor blames him, your father's life will not be saved." gone."

"Really?" Brother Dan looked up at Ruan Duanxi, crossed his arms, and looked a little convinced.

Seeing Brother Dan's appearance, Ruan Duanxi was overjoyed. He knew that although this little cub looked mighty, it hadn't been long since it broke its shell. If it was an ordinary child, it would only know how to cry and nurse at this moment.

Even if this monster cub is smart, where can it be smart?

"I have a way here. If you are willing, not only can you ensure that your father is safe and sound, but you can also send away the envoys of the demon country. This is a great achievement, and the emperor may reward you at that time." Ruan Duanxi clenched his fist slightly , Saying so on the lips, but thinking in his heart, if the little cub nodded at this time, then he could take his life logically, how could he still be alive.

The cub is so small, like a chick that has just hatched, it can be crushed into meat with one foot.

Such a little cub even let him come out alone, Ruan Duanxi wished he could look up to the sky and laugh wildly, this was a godsend opportunity.

"Do you really have a way? What way?" Brother Dan asked with his big eyes blinking.

Ruan Duanxi restrained the sneer on his face, "Give me the battle umbrella on your body, and I will lead you to meet the envoy of the Demon Kingdom."

"Battle umbrella?" Brother Dan carried a battle umbrella on his back that was longer than his arm and almost dragged to the ground.

The power of this miniature umbrella is similar to that of the umbrella in the hands of Dan Baobao. The bullets used in it are extremely small, but they are extremely powerful. It is a plan developed by many cubs to protect the younger brother with the greatest ability.

"The one you took is useless at all, isn't it?" Ruan Duanxi had a slight smile on his face, "Your father is so useless, and now he can't protect himself."

"I haven't used it yet." Brother Dan grabbed the umbrella and touched the surface carefully.

Because of his small size, the brothers found a very accurate scale and specially weighed the umbrella. The parts inside were changed again and again, just so that Brother Dan would not feel tired holding it.

"Give it to me." Ruan Duanxi stretched out his hand to Brother Dan.

Brother Dan raised his head, put the umbrella on his back again, turned and walked towards the mini donkey, "Are you mentally retarded? Why do you think my dad and brothers let me go outside? It's not like I don't know anything child."

"What did you say?" Ruan Duanxi clenched his fists fiercely.

"I said you are mentally retarded." Brother Dan pushed the miniature iron donkey two steps forward, looked back at Ruan Duanxi, "If you really want to impeach my father, be careful."

"What did you say!" Ruan Duanxi said again slowly.

It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized that he had been tricked by a little cub.What he said just now was completely seen through in the other party's eyes. The cub is so small, he can crush it to death with his feet, why are you so arrogant?

The unique feeling of terror that he peed his pants in the face of the big monster returned to his body, and Ruan Duanxi trembled uncontrollably.

He stared at Brother Dan viciously, rushed up, and stomped on him.

"Sure enough." Brother Dan had been prepared for a long time, turned on the little iron donkey, stepped on the pedals, and rushed out in an instant.

Ruan Duanxi stepped on the ground, his foot trembling and numb.

Angry from his heart, he raised his feet to catch up, the fat on his body trembled and swayed, and he began to pant after running a few steps.

And Brother Dan has slipped away.

He rode the little iron donkey all the way back to Beiqi's mansion, followed the path specially opened for him, and didn't stop until the front of the house.Brother Dan stepped on the brakes and shouted into the room: "Father, brothers, I'm back. That Ruan Duanxi is really not a good guy, and he wants to impeach Dad. I can't stand it. He still doesn't want to say a few words to him." .”

"Did you fight with him?" Yan Xun came out of the room, picked up Brother Egg and looked around.

"No." Brother Dan jumped down from Yan Xun's hand, and ran to the Zhantu cub who was following behind, "Didn't Dad say that you can't leave evidence. It's just a few words of quarrel. If you stay Evidence, who knows how he will turn black and white. I hate this kind of people who play with people's hearts and turn right and wrong."

"Let him go, let him impeach." Yan Xun didn't care, "It's just a few days of idleness, why don't you cook something delicious. Today I'll make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and rice cakes. What do you all want to eat? Candied fruit, hurry up and prepare it, I will steam the rice cake later."

"Oh!" Brother Dan cheered, "I'll go get ready."

The cubs rarely had some free time, so they all went to prepare the preserved fruits they wanted to eat, cleaned them up by themselves, lined up and handed them to Yan Xun, and put them in the rice cake together.

Ruan Duanxi brought the news back, and many civil servants gathered in Lu Chaoyang's study again.

"Umbrellas and guns...the emperor probably won't agree."

"Lu Xiang, why don't we find a way to get some and give it to Qi Daxi in private. Before he leaves Daqin, I'm not afraid that he won't leave."

"That's a good idea."

Ruan Duanxi huddled in the corner, and everyone present was of a higher grade than him, so he couldn't speak casually at all.

"Master Ruan, did you say you met Yan Xun's son?" Someone finally remembered Ruan Duanxi and turned to ask him.

"Yes, yes." Ruan Duanxi hurriedly said, "He came out alone, and I happened to meet him, but he ran too fast and couldn't catch him at all. If it was a Taoist soldier... he should be able to catch him."

"That little cub is extremely cunning, it's not something ordinary soldiers can catch, at least the generals have to do it." Lu Chaoyang said slowly, "Don't waste your efforts."

Ruan Duanxi was a little unwilling, but dared not say anything.

"Spears and umbrellas are not only owned by Yan Xun, but also by many Taoist soldiers, generals and lieutenants." Lu Chaoyang cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, "We can't decide this matter, write a note and pass it on. .”

The others followed suit and started to make plans in their hearts.

That night, Zhang Rui went out of the palace and met Yan Xun.

On the second day of court, Yan Xun, who was still "recovering from illness", also came.

The emperor looked at the group of courtiers standing below, then looked at Yan Xun who was standing almost at the end, and sighed.

"Do you have any ideas?" The emperor said in a deep voice, "If the envoys of the demon kingdom don't leave, the people will have no peace. I want to send the envoys of the demon kingdom away within three days. Do you have any ideas?" Method?"

The solution is at hand. If Qi Daxi wants a battle umbrella and a gun, he only needs to make an agreement with Qi Daxi, and if he gives these two things when he arrives in the Demon Kingdom, Qi Daxi will definitely leave Daqin.

Someone in front glanced back at Yan Xun, saw that he was drooping with his sleeves rolled up, looking listless and about to fall asleep, then looked at Lu Chaoyang in front again, finally gritted his teeth, stepped out and knelt down, and shouted : "The humble minister has a plan."

"Tell me." The emperor's eyes lit up, and he said hastily.

"Your Majesty, the parasols and guns are excellent things, and they must not be given to the demon country easily." The man shouted loudly, "If you don't want to dismantle a few parasols and guns, use whatever to imitate a few, and make them To the effect of confusing the real with the fake, and then give it to the demon country, even if the demon country is measured, it will not be able to tell the truth from the fake."

"Your Majesty, this method is very good, and my ministers seconded it."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

Yan Xun looked at a group of courtiers kneeling in front of them, including civil servants and military generals, many of whom Yan Xun knew, had never met, talked to, or understood.

It's just that even if Yan Xun once gave the gun to the Taoist soldiers stationed by the sea, it was Yang Shuning who snatched it in name, but it was still Yan Xun's thing in the final analysis; and the number of battle umbrellas is very small, only those around Yan Xun have them. Taoist soldiers are rare.

He was able to draw a tie with Qi Daxi with his umbrella, such a good thing, unconsciously, seemed to be a crime of conceit, everyone wanted to keep it for themselves, except Yan Xun and a few people around him, everyone else Together, they distorted the facts, and said such despicable things about taking others' things as their own, as if they covered up the facts and became a matter of justice.

The emperor had the gun and green cotton cloth presented by Yan Xun in his hand, and although he didn't have a battle umbrella, the princes such as Qin San, Qin Liu, and Qin Shishi had all seen and played with it.

He looked at Yan Xun with a calm face again, his heart palpitated uncontrollably.

Yan Xun has never been a weak person, he took good care of the cubs, and the workshop under his name is also very good, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think that they can control Yan Xun because they have mastered the twisted righteousness, but in fact they are completely Completely wrong, they are robbing the tiger's mouth.

"There is no need for the umbrella, I took out a gun and asked a craftsman to imitate it." The emperor stood up after speaking, "Retire."

The craftsmen in the palace have already imitated guns, but even the most experienced craftsmen can only build parts by hand little by little.

The steelmaking furnace on the other side of the river is said to be like a hill, throwing iron ingots into it will turn into molten iron, and the steel ingots produced are better than the steel made by craftsmen.

In the main hall, almost everyone felt elated, as if they were holding Shang Fang's sword, they would snort coldly when they came to Yan Xun's side.

They got the opportunity to imitate research aboveboard.

Shi Yuanshou walked up to Yan Xun anxiously, and asked in a low voice, "My lord."

"No need to worry." Yan Xun said calmly, "The appearance of a gun can be imitated, but the materials and parts cannot be imitated. What's more... the gun is never the most important thing, the most important thing is the bullet."

The bloodthirsty fish demon by the sea, even the Taoist soldiers stationed by the sea, have to be careful, only Messi can get close.

Gunpowder is not difficult, and Yan Xun didn't think about keeping it a secret. It will be a matter of time before someone researches it, but even so, they can't make bullets.

"Will the envoy of the demon country really leave because of this?" Shi Yuanshou was a little worried, "The people in the city are still the same as before, and they are not panicked. I don't know why almost all the adults in the court feel that the people are not at peace."

"It's their own uneasiness." Yan Xun said with a smile, "The people just need to have food and clothes to wear, and the big monster doesn't harm anyone, so what do they have to be afraid of?"

"I understand." Shi Yuanshou understood instantly.

Yan Xun glanced at Shi Yuanshou, and pointed out: "The people are not stupid, but they only need to eat and drink enough, have clothes to wear, make money, and support their wives and children. That's enough. Other things, of course. Ladies and gentlemen, worry about it."

"This is Guotai Min'an, right?" Shi Yuanshou followed behind Yan Xun, feeling that he understood something.

"Probably." Yan Xun said casually.

The construction of the gun is not difficult at all, and experienced blacksmiths can make it bit by bit.

The whole court was united, and it only took two days for Ruan Duanxi to enter Honglu Temple with a gun in his hand.

Chidasi twitched his gun, trying to pull the trigger.

"This item was carefully selected by the emperor, and he promised to give it to the envoy when he left the border town." Ruan Duanxi said respectfully.

The gun was heavy, and it looked no different from the one held by Dao Bing. The parts inside were equally fine. Qi Daxi rubbed his hands together and took it apart easily. After staring at the complicated parts inside, he threw the gun to Ruan Duanxi , "Give me five hundred rounds of bullets."

A gun without bullets is useless.

Ruan Duanxi's body trembled, with a little confidence: "There are not so many bullets, ten rounds is fine."

"Two hundred rounds." Qi Daxi lazily said, "That's not too much. You give me the bullets, and I'll go back to the demon kingdom tomorrow. Just go outside the border town and give me the gun. You really can't take out the umbrella ? I don't force it, it's just bullets..."

"Success." Ruan Duanxi gritted his teeth.

He had already been told that if Qi Daxi wanted bullets, at least the quantity would not be too much, and he could give them.

The outside of the bullet is just a smooth piece of iron, and the structure inside is fine.

Craftsmen take apart a bullet and look at it, and they can imitate exactly the same.It's just that the ammunition inside is very special, and it can't be made without a formula.

"Father, will they come to ask for bullets?" Brother Dan kept waving his small umbrella on his shoulders, "They actually imitated the guns, it's really amazing, the bullets should be able to imitate exactly the same Bar."

"En." Cub Claw nodded, "Except that they don't use steel ingots, they all look exactly the same. They even made something like gunpowder. Although it's not very powerful, but...they can come up with a formula, which is already very powerful."

These cubs are not created out of thin air, but Yan Xun is the leader.

"Looks like I'm going to study hard too." Brother Dan had a rare sense of crisis, put away his umbrella, ran to Yan Xun's feet, and tugged at Yan Xun's pants, "Father, I want to study. You can't be chased by those people."

"Then you can go to the school tomorrow." Yan Xun said, "Follow your brother and the others."

"Go to school." Brother Dan hesitated a bit. If you really go to school to study, it will be different from going to play. You must be diligent and diligent in studying, and you have to deal with the inspection by the teacher. When you come back, you still have homework to do and exams. .

He is less than one year old now, and it hasn't been long since he broke his shell. It's a good time to eat, drink and have fun. Even his elder brother didn't start school until a long time after breaking his shell. Moreover, his elder brother has a teacher and rarely goes to school.

Brother Dan lowered his head and whispered, "Let me think about it."

"Succeed, don't worry about studying, you are still young. Dad doesn't want you to become a nerd early, and he won't force you to study." Yan Xun picked up the egg brother and held it in the palm of his hand, and said earnestly, "When will you It’s not too late to go to school if you miss it.”

"Okay." Brother Dan immediately let go of the burden in his heart, heaved a sigh of relief, and regained his air, "Father, I think they will still come to ask for ammunition!"

"Will it?" Yan Xun was a little uncertain.

However, Brother Dan's words became a prophecy.

Yan Xun and the cubs have been living in the Beiqi mansion, and there are many Honglu temple guards coming and going, almost half of the people in the capital know about it.

Ruan Duanxi bit the bullet and came to the gate, and said to the man guarding the gate: "This is a greeting card, I want to see Mr. Yan."

"Wait." The man answered the post fiercely, and went in to report.

Not long after, the man came out with a cold face, followed by several police officers, all staring at Ruan Duanxi.

Ruan Duanxi wiped the sweat off his face and followed him in.

The Northern Qi Mansion was full of fast arresters and vicious men, Ruan Duanxi didn't dare to show his anger.After entering the courtyard, he carefully glanced at Yan Xun and Brother Dan who were sitting quietly in the courtyard, cold sweat broke out again on his forehead.

It was rumored that the relationship between Bei Qi and Yan Xun was not good. Every time they met, they would blow their beards and stare. Now, because Du Meiqi was guarding the side of the Danxin Bridge, it was inconvenient for Yan Xun to go back to the other side of the river, so he took the cubs to stay in Bei Qi's mansion. On the way, the police officers in the government looked worried, and it was obvious that the rumors were true.

Now it was Jing Feng who lit a small charcoal stove and boiled water beside him, the courtyard was deserted and deserted, obviously Yan Xun's life here was not so easy.

Ruan Duanxi suddenly felt much better, he took a step forward, cupped his hands at Yan Xun and said, "Lord Yan."

"Master Ruan." Yan Xun sat still and said calmly.

"Lord Yan, I'm straight to the point." Ruan Duanxi saw Yan Xun's complexion turned slightly pale, and the courtyard was desolate, so he gained confidence for no reason, "Now the envoy of the demon country is about to leave Daqin, but he is short of a medicine..."
