"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to Beijing, and the border city is officially sealed off. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will!"

Some Taoist soldiers shouted outside.

In the tent, Jia Jing had been sleeping wrapped in a bedding, but now he got up in a daze, when he vaguely heard the Taoist soldiers shouting outside, and then he realized: Qin Yi was also in the border town before.

"Why did His Royal Highness leave?" Jia Jing murmured, "It shouldn't be, the current border town..."

The current border town looks very safe. Although there are a lot fewer Taoist soldiers in the border town camp, the rest are not only veterans, but also have experienced the baptism of the big monster's siege, and they are very reliable.

At such a juncture, Qin Yi actually returned to Beijing, which really meant running away.

Several old men looked at each other without saying a word, what is the truth inside, they can inquire secretly, but not openly, and they are not qualified to test His Highness the Crown Prince.

Hu Yuequn rolled his eyes and whispered, "Master Jia, what should we do now?"

"Wait." Manager Jia said naturally, "Could it be possible that we can still meet the envoys from the Demon Kingdom?"

Speaking of which, Jia Jing lay down again, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Anyway, he is just a meritorious service officer, and there is no other imperial decree given to him in the palace. The job of welcoming the envoys of the demon country will not be on him, and he will not take the initiative to take on this job.

The envoys of the demon kingdom must be monsters. Thinking back when the envoys of the demon kingdom were in the capital... the Jia family also suffered.That big monster didn't do anything, just glanced at the side of the road casually, and the people on the side of the road would immediately fall down and lose their minds.

Jia Jing took a deep breath, thinking that at that time, because he was not liked by the old lady of the Jia family, he had no chance to watch the big demon, so he could only eat wine at home depressed, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and he did not have a serious illness.

On the contrary, the favored juniors of the Jia family have all gone, and almost all of them have suffered serious illnesses. Jia Buzhen is especially miserable. If it wasn't for his good luck, he...

"Whoever wants to go will go, I won't go." Jia Jing made it clear.

Hu Yuequn's eyebrows twitched.

If you don't want to go, you don't want to go. There are too many people in the tent who don't want to go, but who can say it directly like Jia Jing?

Don't everyone express their opinions vaguely, and let others know it, so why bother to say it so bluntly, it's really too careless.

"Anyway, I'm not going." Jia Jing also knew that he was not particular, but he would rather not be particular than to face the envoys of the Demon Kingdom, so it would be better to make it clear early on, so as to avoid the temptation to have you come and go again when the time comes And prevarication, he thinks that is not particular.

"Are we trapped?" Hu Yuequn glanced at Jia Jing, then went to talk to several other old men.

These old men are much more particular than Jia Jing. One talks about the sky and the other talks about the land, but they don't talk about business with Hu Yuequn.

Hu Yuequn had no choice but to deal with them back and forth.

"Godfather." Xiao Qiu cupped his hands at Qiu Bao, "I found out, the imperial decree is on those meritorious officials!"

"En." Qiu Bao sat cross-legged, with two wooden tables built in front of him.

There is a small charcoal stove on the table, and a small sand pot is sitting on the charcoal stove, bubbling and bubbling.

There are small teacups and a piece of tea cake with a slightly bitter taste on the simple wooden table.

Qiu Bao picked up a very delicate small hammer, gently tapped off a small piece of tea cake, rinsed, brewed, and finally poured it into a small tea bowl, then lifted the tea bowl with another very unique wooden spoon, and handed it to Xiaoqiu.

"Thank you." Xiao Qiu took the teacup with both hands, knelt beside her and savored it carefully.

After drinking a cup of tea, put the teacup back.

Only then did Xiao Qiu continue, "It's just that we can't find out who the imperial decree is on. The envoys from the Demon Kingdom are coming soon... General, we can't wait any longer."

"No hurry." Qiu Bao picked up the sand pot, poured cold water on the charcoal stove again, "this tea is good, but unfortunately it can only be brewed once, the taste will be bad the second time, astringent and not fragrant , completely different from the first time."

The smell of the tea cake is not very good, it is very bitter, but when brewing for the first time, not only is there no bitterness at all, but also has a very strong fragrance, but it is a pity that when brewing for the second time, the fragrance It's almost completely gone, leaving only the astringency.

This kind of tea is extremely rare, and there is only a small amount of it in a year, and it is famous because it can only be brewed once, so it is also called Yihuixiang.

"General." Xiao Qiu lowered his head, not daring to look at Qiu Bao.

He didn't understand the meaning of drinking this tea now, and he didn't understand why Qiu Bao was still so leisurely and not in a hurry.

After a while, the water on the table was boiled again, but Qiu Bao didn't fire a second pot, but drank plain water directly.

"Xiao Qiu." Qiu Bao said calmly, "You forgot Lord Yan."

"I haven't forgotten." Xiao Qiu subconsciously said, "I dare not forget."

After all, he betrayed Yan Xun, and now he can live such a good life in the border town thanks to Qiu Bao's blessing, but even so, he dare not touch Yan Xun's bad luck.After all, even Qiu Bao didn't dare, so how could he have the courage?

"You forgot." Qiu Bao glanced at Xiao Qiu, and said calmly, "You must always remember Master Yan, and you must never forget it. The general guarding the border city is Master Yan, you must not forget. Those Gongcao... before the imperial decree is issued, they still have to look at Master Yan's face."

So whether the imperial decree is taken out or not has little to do with those meritorious officials, the key lies in Yan Xun.

As long as Yan Xun thinks about it, he has to show those achievements even if he doesn't want to.

"It doesn't matter who the meritorious service is on, what matters is Lord Yan."

"...Yes." Xiao Qiu said hastily.

He also realized suddenly that what Qiu Bao said was right.

When he heard that Qiu Bao was appointed as the city defender, he couldn't control his ecstasy, thinking that he could finally feel proud, and he even felt in a trance that he could accomplish a lot in the border city.So he used all the power in his hands to pay attention to everything in the capital, and when he learned that the imperial decree was on those heroes, he was even more ecstatic.

It's just that since Gongcao entered the city until now, he hasn't come up with the imperial decree, so he became anxious and came to Qiu Bao to ask for an idea.

"Don't worry." Qiu Bao said calmly, "Master Yan will help us."

The wind in the border town was getting stronger and stronger, and the cotton fields and mulberry fields outside were blown to this side, and it was almost impossible to stand up straight.

The cotton planted outside the concrete building was rustled by the wind, and the large balls of snow-white cotton swayed with the wind as if they were about to explode, but they just didn’t fall down. No matter how the wind blew, the cotton balls would not fall down. .

Behind the glass window, Yan Xun lay on the window sill and looked outside.

Jing Fengye sat upright behind him, looking at Yan Xun without blinking.

"My lord, why don't I hide." Jing Fengye said in a low voice, "I'll just hide by your side so they won't find out. As long as the general doesn't take action, ordinary Taoist soldiers won't be able to find me."

"What are you doing hiding?" Yan Xun let out a breath towards the glass, stretching out his thin fingers to write and draw on it.

Jing Fengye said: "My secret."

"Your secret." Yan Xun said casually.

The heat on the glass quickly dissipated, as did the patterns on it.

Brother Kang Shangdan opened his wooden cabinet, got into Bala for a long time, and brought out something.

"Dan Juju, do you know this?" Brother Dan ran to the front of Egg Juju, carrying the thing on his shoulder, and turned around very slowly.

"I don't know him, but I'm very familiar with it." Egg Juju sat against the wall, holding a round and very soft pillow in his arms.

The expression on Brother Dan's face suddenly became treacherous, and he said mysteriously, "Dan Juju, then guess what I'm carrying."

This thing looks like a tube. Although you can't see it inside, it feels very complicated.Egg Juju suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen a similar mechanism on the outer city wall, but the mechanism on the outer city wall was bigger.

It is said that the mechanism on the outer city wall is specially used to deal with the Guiyuan bug bud demon.

Is this little mechanism carried by the egg brother also used to deal with people?

"Is it used to deal with people?" Dan Juju was a little unsure, because the smile on Brother Dan's face was too wicked.

"Haha, of course not." Brother Dan laughed hard.

It happened that Yan Xun over there heard the movement and looked over, Brother Dan jumped up like a cannonball, hit the window directly, and then bounced to Yan Xun, muttering about what happened just now.

Yan Xun couldn't help laughing, "Dan Juju has no memory of that time, so don't bully him."

"Well, I'll explain it to him right now." Brother Dan hurried back.

"Master Jing." Yan Xun breathed again on the window, writing and drawing on it, "Your secret...in fact, it wasn't a secret in the first place. Your existence became a secret because we weren't strong enough back then. "

Because he was afraid of meeting a strong enough opponent when he was not strong enough, Jing Fengye's blood became the most important secret between Yan Xun and the cubs.

No matter what happens, no matter what happens, Yan Xun and the cubs will never reveal the secrets about Jing Fengye.

But when they fought against the Hyena King, Qiu Bao and the Fifth Prince both saw that secret with their own eyes.

Qiu Bao would never let it go, and neither would the Fifth Prince.

"It's okay." Yan Xun said calmly, "I won't let anything happen to you."

"But, I will implicate my lord." Jing Fengye was a little anxious, he didn't want to implicate Yan Xun.

"Don't talk about being involved or not, there has never been such a thing as being involved between us." Yan Xun said, "If you really want to say it, I should be the one who caused you to be involved, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Jing Fengye can choose another life, and there is no need to follow Yan Xun all the time, always follow behind him, and hide in his shadow all the time.

Jing Fengye can definitely do something else with his own ability.

"Master Jing, you see that I am living so hard now, I am not in Daqin. If you are willing, you will be more relaxed than me..." Yan Xun leaned back, leaning against Jing Fengye "Hurry up and squeeze my shoulders, I've only been sitting for a long time today, why are you so tired?"

"Because I'm relaxed." Jing Fengye rubbed his hands vigorously until they were warmed up, and then helped Yan Xun pinch his shoulders.

The glass windows cut off the cold wind outside, and the kang inside the house was very warm, the cubs were even wearing only single clothes, and Yan Xun was only wearing a very thin coat, and gradually became drowsy.

Yue Mo fell asleep in a daze, and when Yan Xun opened his eyes again, he felt lazy.

"My lord, there's news from the camp in the border town that those meritorious officers are arguing." Zhantu cub said.

"You probably want to find an opportunity to come out and announce the decree. It's enough to embarrass them." Yan Xun said casually, "Help General Qiu set up a case, and wait for the decree. If they ask, they will say that I am suddenly seriously ill and can't get out of the kang. gone."

"Okay." Cub Zhantu nodded and hurried to make arrangements.

Several old men in the tent were arguing together, and they were about to fight, and their heads were beaten to the ground.

Even Jia Jing was involved in it, who punched him a few times, and he became angry, so he swung his fist and hit him.

"The Taoist soldiers are coming soon." Huang Shilang hid aside, seeing someone deliberately trying to drag him into the battle, he stared at that person, rushed up and kicked him, and then retreated.

He wouldn't act like Jia Jing without looking at anyone, only to be dragged inside and beaten a lot.

Huang Shilang stood with his arms folded and watched coldly, completely forgetting that he was not much different from Jia Jing in the past, but after meeting Yan Xun a few times, he changed unconsciously.That day, when Brother Dan was muttering to the Shaker cub, Huang Shilang happened to be right next to him, so he pricked up his ears to listen.

"Brother, let me tell you, you have to be tougher than him to deal with that kind of shameless person!" Brother Dan said through gritted teeth.

The Mountain Shaking cub was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, who bullied you? Tell me, I'll deal with him..."

"I've already solved it." Brother Dan said in a calm voice, "The thing is like this..."

At that time, Huang Shilang heard the general idea, but he didn't think much about it. He felt that a cub as small as Brother Dan was actually not easy, and it was also thanks to his cleverness.

But now that Huang Shilang looks coldly at the people hiding in the battle group, he can't help but think of Brother Dan. When Brother Dan met a shameless person, he chose to do it directly and don't talk nonsense, so there is no need for him to waste it now. tongue.

"Master Huang, don't come and help me." Someone shouted at Huang Shilang.

The voice is still very familiar, it should be that he often talks to Huang Shilang on weekdays, he is a very familiar person.

"The Taoist soldiers are here." It's just that Huang Shilang's idea was always on the tent door.

A group of Taoist soldiers rushed in and separated all these old men without saying a word.

Only then did the Taoist soldiers say: "My lords, please be calm and don't be impatient."

After saying this, the Taoist soldier pushed out, and the rest of the Taoist soldiers also retreated in a flash, leaving the old men in the tent looking at each other with disheveled clothes and no image.

Jia Jing took a breath, pulled the clothes on his body, and hurriedly went to find new clothes to change into his baggage.

The old man of the Jia family has always been respectable and well-groomed, and this time there are no servants in the border town, only a couple of servants, that's all. Should he be called disheveled?How can that be.

He couldn't stand being disheveled.

"Lord Jia, wait a minute." Hu Yuequn hurriedly stood up, and was about to run towards Jia Jing, trying to stop him.

But Hu Yuequn was also in the battle group just now, his clothes were all torn, and the cloth strips happened to bind his feet, so he couldn't move his feet, so he fell to the ground and ate a mouthful of dirt.

"Master Hu?" Jia Jing felt that he couldn't see anyone now, so he raised his arms and covered his face with his sleeves, and looked at Hu Yuequn covertly, "I have to find some clothes to change. How can I be so decent now?"

If it weren't for the fact that this is a border town, Jia Jing would still have to bathe and burn incense.

It's just that this is a border town after all, and Jia Jing couldn't be particular about it even if he wanted to, so he had to change into new clothes in a hurry.

There are a lot of clothes in the bag, some of them are silk and satin, which look good, but they don't keep warm at all.Jia Jing felt the coldness in the border town, so he pulled it out without looking at it and threw it aside, ready to find a jacket to put on.

But when he was going out, he saw that the servants had packed too many clothes, several jackets were not very attractive, and looked very bloated, Jia Jing took them out without looking at them and threw them aside, he was determined refused to take it.

As a result, all the clothes in the burden were stretched out, they were all made of thin silk and satin, and they couldn’t be worn at all. The sweat on Jia Jing’s forehead was dripping down. He didn’t want to continue to be cold, and finally saw a fur vest in the innermost part of the burden. , and hurriedly took it out like a treasure.

With such a shake of both hands, Jia Jing hastily put them on his body.

If you don’t have a jacket, you can wear a fur vest.

"Lord Jia!" Hu Yuequn was still struggling on the ground.

In the past, he was the most underhanded, and several people were also drawn into the battle by him. Now, the old men watched coldly and did not step forward to help. Hu Yuequn climbed several times by himself without getting up. As tall as a turtle.

"Master Jia." Huang Shilang looked at Hu Yuequn looking abnormal, so he also stared at Jia Jing, and now he strode forward and picked up a wooden box on the ground.

The wooden box was wrapped in Jia Jing's vest just now, Jia Jing was too anxious to even look at it, and started shaking while carrying the vest, it was too careless.

"What is this?" Huang Shilang glanced at Hu Yuequn, and seeing him staring nervously at the wooden box, he subconsciously walked away a few steps.

Jia Jing wrapped his waistcoat tightly, feeling warmer at last, but the clothes on his body were still torn, and he really couldn't see anyone, so he got tangled up again, looked at the wooden box in Huang Shilang's hand, found that he didn't recognize it, and said: "I don't know, I haven't seen that thing before."

He still hasn't realized that the wooden box is actually hidden in his baggage, and he just shook it out.

"Open it and have a look." Huang Shilang had already guessed in his heart, seeing a few old men stand up abruptly and wanted to speak, so he opened the wooden box directly without giving them time to speak.

Inside is a rolled up bright yellow imperial decree.

Huang Shilang hurriedly knelt down and said long live.

Hu Yuequn just got up, but he couldn't stop Huang Shilang after all, so he looked at him bitterly, but he also had to kneel down.

"This imperial decree..." Huang Shilang got up slowly after performing the salute, and still did not let go of the wooden box in his hand, but asked other people.

Just as the old men were about to speak, they suddenly felt inappropriate.

If the imperial decree was in their hands, then they could tell the truth, saying that they had met the emperor secretly, and got such a very secret errand: to come to the border town with the imperial decree.

But now the imperial decree is not in their hands, and if they say it now, what will Huang Shilang do?What would the old man present who didn't know about this secret errand do?What would you think?

Why didn't they get the secret errand for the same meritorious service? Is it because the emperor doesn't trust them, or is it because of some other reason?

There will be gaps.

"Open it and have a look." Hu Yuequn gritted his teeth.

"There is a case set up outside." Huang Shilang didn't look at the imperial decree, but looked outside the tent, and saw the desk set up outside, he couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Which one of you prepared rice paper?"

"Who?" Hu Yuequn was sure he didn't have it, but he couldn't guarantee that others didn't.

After all, more than one of them took this secret errand, and in any case, as long as they could make the paper in person, their status in the border town would immediately change.

Someone will be excited.

Several other people also thought the same way. They could only guarantee that they did not do that, but they could not guarantee that others would not do that.

"Xuan paper." Seeing that no one spoke, Hu Yuequn suddenly understood what they were thinking, and suddenly realized that this might be a conspiracy.

The person who set up the case was not any of them. After all, it was not easy for the Taoist soldiers outside to prepare the case quietly. watching them, and the imperial decree appeared by such a coincidence, it happened to be in the hands of Huang Shilang...

Hu Yuequn suddenly thought of a possibility: all of this was Yan Xun's arrangement.

But knowing what to do, now there is no other choice.

Only rice paper.

"Send someone to call Master Yan." Hu Yuequn got up and said coldly to the Taoist soldiers at the door of the tent.

After planning for so long, he did not dare to hide it on his body after obtaining the imperial decree, for fear of causing disaster, but in the end all his achievements failed.

Jia Jing seemed easy to coax, but at the most critical moment, he did something wrong.This has already arrived at the border town, and the envoys from the demon country are coming soon, and his life or death may not be certain, so why do he care so much about the bright clothes on his body?

Huang Shilang also seemed to be a different person, he used to be so stubborn, he used to go crazy, but when he arrived in the border town, instead of resenting Yan Xun, he was eager to see Lord Yan, and said that he wanted to apologize and thank him.

"Master Hu." Dao Bing bowed his hands very politely, "Master Yan said he was sick and couldn't get off the kang, so it was Brother Dan and Dan Honghong who came."

Brother Dan and Dan Honghong are Yan Xun's own sons. If Xuan Zhi needs Yan Xun, then these two little cubs can completely replace Yan Xun.

Hu Yuequn glared at Dao Bing, almost gnashing his teeth and said: "You didn't go to see Lord Yan at all."

"But the news is true." Dao Bing blinked and said, "General Qiu is ready, invite him now?"

"Go!" Hu Yuequn said bitterly.

Qiu Bao had to be present for the rice paper, but he had to bring it up so that the Taoist soldiers in the border town could figure it out, and he would reveal something about the general guarding the city to make the Taoist soldiers in the border town happy.

But now everything is messed up, and it has nothing to do with him.

The Taoist soldiers quickly invited Qiu Bao, and Brother Dan and Dan Honghong also arrived on the other side.

The two little cubs did not come alone, there were other cubs from the nursery school, and a big black that was as aggressive as a big demon.

"Monster!" After all, Jia Jing changed into bright silk and satin clothes, with a jacket on the outside, looking at the nondescript, and shivering from the cold. He felt ashamed to see people, so he hid in the tent and looked at the huge monster. The ant marching demon subconsciously shouted.
