"We are... but we have to be conscientious."

"We all know how General Yang guarded against Master Yan back then, but how Master Yan treated us..."

"Master Yan has a conscience for us, so we can't be without a conscience."

Several Taoist soldiers looked at each other, and continued to tacitly stick to their final bottom line.

Hu Yuequn couldn't help sighing.

He knew things were getting tricky.

Qiu Bao has indeed become the general who defends the city, and there are indeed deputy generals and Taoist soldiers who are willing to do anything for him, but the rest of the people are still thinking of Yan Xun even though they are on his side. This gets a little tricky.

Even if Qiu Bao becomes the city defender, he still can't do whatever he wants, and he still stands in the invisible circle Yan Xun drew for him, and he can't go beyond the barrier at all.

These Taoist soldiers are indeed on Qiu Bao's side, and they also help Qiu Bao to do things, and even follow Xiao Qiu's command, but they have their own bottom line, and their bottom line is Yan Xun.

Because Yang Shuning only wrote a few IOUs to Yan Xun at the beginning, so the camp in the border town had countless fresh grains that would never go moldy, and even various canned food subsidies, and even remuneration. Wear warm and thick cotton clothes.

Can just those few IOUs be exchanged for so many things?

Even if Yang Shuning's prestige is high, Dao Bing will not think that the IOU written by Yang Shuning is so valuable.

The reason why Yan Xun accepted those IOUs and sent these good things continuously is because of his conscience.

I don't want to see the Taoist soldiers in the border towns enduring hunger and cold, and go to the battlefield desperately. I don't want to see the Taoist soldiers die in vain because they don't have enough food and strength.

Yan Xun wanted the Taoist soldiers in the border towns to be fed and clothed, to use their best condition to go to the battlefield, even if they died in battle, they would fight with monsters, not because they were too hungry and weak, but because they were too cold His hands were numb from the cold, and he died in vain.

Yan Xun is worthy of his own conscience, and the Taoist soldiers in the camp in the border town must also be worthy of his conscience.

So no Taoist soldiers are willing to testify to Xiao Qiu, they are willing to lie because of their conscience.

Xiao Qiu was furious, staring at these Taoist soldiers as if he wanted to eat people, his hands trembling uncontrollably.After a long time, he closed his eyes and said slowly, "Let's go to Huihui Yan."

Looking around, almost no one stood by him, and he became a real loner.

In the distance, Yan Xun led the cubs forward slowly, and in the chaos behind, the envoys of the Yao Kingdom stood still and did not catch up.

Bouncing Cub pulled his hair, which was extremely elastic, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the envoys of the Demon Kingdom have tolerated us a little too much."

"It's just for the time being." Yan Xun said calmly, "They are not stupid at all, they are waiting for our own reaction. If they...can't satisfy them later, they will strike later."

"You see, they are all monsters, but their hearts are the same as people's hearts."

"Xiao Qiu is still here." Yan Xun watched Xiao Qiu approaching, and sighed slightly, "He has been afraid to see me, but now he has to come."

"Hmph." Brother Dan snorted coldly. He had long disliked Xiao Qiu. If Xiao Qiu hadn't got involved with Qiu Bao, and Qiu Bao had got involved with the city guard, why would he have kept swallowing his anger.

If you don't have to endure it, when will Brother Dan really endure it...

Xiao Qiu had only walked a few steps, and his shoes and the hem of his clothes were all covered with dirt. He was a little embarrassed, and his complexion became even more ugly.

In fact, except for Yan Xun himself, all the cubs looked like mud monkeys, not only covered with soil, but also mottled with blood that had solidified and turned black. How nice it is.

Cubs as big as Brother Dan and Dan Honghong are almost completely mud balls.

They all looked embarrassed, and only a pair of big eyes were still shining.

"Xiao Qiu." Yan Xun stood still, waiting for Xiao Qiu to come over.

The cubs all stood behind Yan Xun, staring at Xiao Qiu with big eyes.

Dan Honghong and Dan's younger brother stood on the far side, staring at Xiao Qiu very seriously.

Back then, Xiao Qiu defected to Qiu Bao and refused to leave the border town, and even became Qiu Bao's godson, taking advantage of Yang Shuning's serious injury and dying to win over the soldiers of the border town secretly. All these incidents, one by one, made the cubs angry, and Yan Xun was also angry.

It's just that there are many ways to express anger, Yan Xun chooses to bear it temporarily and explained it to the cubs.

"Hmph." Brother Dan snorted coldly.

The choices of the cubs are the same as Yan Xun's, but Brother Dan still feels unhappy.

"Lord Yan." Xiao Qiu was wearing nondescript armor, because although he was Qiu Bao's godson, he had no official position, he was not even a Taoist soldier, so he couldn't just wear the armor of lieutenants, and he didn't want to Wearing the armor worn by ordinary Taoist soldiers, he made a set himself. It looks majestic, but it is a bit different, and it looks nondescript.

Border town soldiers are all proud of their battle robes, followed by their armor. Xiao Qiu made his clothes look like a battle robe. The armor is somewhat similar to that of the lieutenant general, but it is completely different. It looks good when there is no comparison on weekdays. , but at this moment, when compared with Yan Xun and the cubs in front of him, he immediately seemed ashamed.

Yan Xun was wearing a battle robe, and the cubs behind him were also wearing battle robes.

Although the war robes on them were dirty, a little torn, and even looked a little ragged, they were still war robes, and they were still the war robes that all Taoist soldiers yearned for!

Xiao Qiu lowered his head and cupped his hands, looking at the armor on his body, his face turned red at first, then turned purple and then black, wishing he could find a crack to get in and hide now, so Yan Xun and the cubs would just watch like this.

"Go and settle down the envoys of the demon country." Yan Xun said suddenly.

He didn't have much to say to Xiao Qiu, and this kind of fuss is enough for today.

"Master Yan." Xiao Qiu gritted his teeth.He knew that what Yan Xun said meant that the past incidents should be ignored, but he couldn't get involved in today's incidents, but the commotion in the square was so upside down, how could he ignore it, and how could Qiu Bao explain it.

So he still had to bite the bullet and opened his mouth. Facing the old owner, Xiao Qiu felt that his face had fallen to the ground and could no longer be picked up, but he still had to bite the bullet and say, "Master Yan, why are you To fight with the envoys of the demon kingdom..."

"No reason." Yan Xun didn't intend to explain to Xiao Qiu.

"But..." Xiao Qiu bit the bullet and took a step forward, "Master Yan..."

"Xiao Qiu." Yan Xun said suddenly, "Do you know why I let you stay in the border town?"

"Why?" Xiao Qiu raised his head abruptly, subconsciously stepped back, his breathing became short of breath, thinking that Yan Xun was going to settle accounts after the fall.

Yan Xun flicked his sleeves, "It's because my prestige in the border town is too high, so I need someone to balance it out, and you and Qiu Bao are my chosen ones. So don't worry, as long as you and Qiu Bao are still accepted The border town needs it, so I won't do anything to you, even if General Qiu wants my life."

"What does Master Yan mean by that, I don't understand." Xiao Qiu didn't dare to raise his head, his face was sweating non-stop, beads of sweat even fell to the ground.

When the cold wind blows, the whole body is chilled.

"You are still alive, and General Qiu can continue to be the city defender, that's all." Yan Xun felt that he had explained clearly enough, so he stopped talking and left with the cubs.

Xiao Qiu didn't dare to stop Yan Xun again, even after Yan Xun and the cubs had gone far and far away, almost losing sight of them, Xiao Qiu came back to his senses and said to the Taoist soldiers behind him: " Walk!"

The Taoist soldiers behind hurriedly followed.

Back in the cement building, Yan Xun didn't say anything, just climbed onto the kang and fell asleep.

He is very tired.

Probe to Dumek step by step, what you say, what expression you show, even a movement, a look, you can't be wrong, otherwise not only will you not be able to test anything, but you will be backlashed by Dumek.

Because I know almost nothing about the demon country, I can only guess step by step and test step by step.

The attitude of the envoys of the demon kingdom, the attitude of Dumek, the attitude of the hyena king, and the purpose of the hyena king's coming to Daqin, all of these must be clarified step by step.Yan Xun was tense all the time, and finally relaxed when he returned to the cement building. He couldn't bear it any longer, and almost fell asleep on the kang.

"My lord." The Shaking Cub hurriedly said, "Look at Xiaohua."

Cub Huashu stepped forward to feel Yan Xun's pulse, "I'm tired, it's good to take a rest like this."

"What happened to King Hyena?" Shaking Mountain Cub asked after confirming that Yan Xun was not.

The war rabbit cubs also came out of the room, looking at them with piercing eyes.

"Hmph." Brother Dan pulled off his battle robe, threw his little shoes aside, and ran to take a bath, saying, "The hyena king is still fine now, so Dumeke has to stop him, and he doesn't care about it." Ken said why, but Dad didn't ask in the end."

"I think Father must have guessed it." Dan Honghong also ran in.

"Then why didn't I guess it?" Brother Dan was not convinced.

On the contrary, the bright cub was thoughtful. He coiled up his silver hair for a while, squatted in the big tub to wash off the blood on his body, and said, "My lord should have guessed... maybe... it has something to do with the place that is now circled." .”

"The flesh and blood left by the hyena king?" Brother Dan understood instantly.

That place is still enclosed, and more people have been added to ensure that no one can get close.

Cub Huashu leaned over to help Cub Guangming rub his back, and said: "The big monster is really tricky, let alone kill him, even the flesh and blood that fell from his body will not turn into thick water and disappear. I look at the flesh and blood It hasn't disappeared until now, and I'm afraid there will be changes in the future..."

"Can there be any changes to become a bloodthirsty fish demon?" Brother Dan disagreed, "The bloodthirsty fish demon is not very powerful, and we will be able to deal with it at that time."

"What if it's the little bee demon in the dimension? How do we deal with it?" Dan Honghong thought of another possibility, "Wouldn't the border town be in crisis by then?"

"Is it because of this that the hyena king came to Daqin again? How will he deal with the flesh and blood, pick it up again and absorb it with his body, or eat it again?" Brother Dan ran to move the small wooden basin he used, filled it with hot water, Then step on the small steps next to the wooden basin to enter, and take a comfortable bath.

Egg Honghong glanced at his small wooden basin in the distance, and shook his head slightly. He chose to soak with the snake cub, so he ran to the snake cub's wooden basin, and jumped in, causing the water to splash .

The snake-bodied cub quickly rolled up the egg Honghong with the tip of its tail, put it on itself, and turned over by itself in the tub, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Take a break and go to the battlefield to see if there are any changes." The thunder cub said, "If there are changes, we should prepare early."

"to make."

Now we can only take one step at a time.

The battlefield not far from the cement building is quietly changing.

"It's hard to see." Messi put down the binoculars and said.

It was rare for him to come out to bask in the sun, so Brother Dan specially brought the binoculars and sent him over to let him see the battlefield in the distance. In addition, the relationship between Messi and the bloodthirsty fish demon made the little cubs associate a lot, so they thought Let Messi see what is the trick of looking at the puddles of flesh and blood.

The sun shone in through the glass, and the room was warm, and there was even fine sweat on Messi's face.

"Father said there is a famous trick there." Brother Dan moved a small bench and sat at Messi's feet. Don't tell, we can only guess."

"You still haven't revealed anything yet?" Messi picked up the binoculars to look again.

"En." Thinking of the changes in the square these days, Brother Dan couldn't help but babble, "The envoys of the demon country still set up camp in the railway station square, and the last bit of flat land was used. Xiao Qiu brought those meritorious servicemen every day. To serve, I don't know what to think..."

"There are also Taoist soldiers who come to the train station to buy vegetables with silver, and send them directly to the envoys of the demon kingdom. What do you think this is like?"

"Everyone in the border town camp, including the general, eats dry food. Why are the envoys of the demon kingdom so special! This is a border town, not a rich place nearby. You can eat whatever you want, such meat! Don’t all the dishes come from brother Huan’s hard work.”

Although it is the train that transports these things, Brother Huan is not all responsible for the care and checks along the way.

"Why do you think Xiaoqiu is so groveling?" Brother Dan couldn't figure it out. They can know what they want to know, and they don't hide it at all."

"How much do we know about the demon country? We got even a little bit of information. As a result, what does the envoy of the demon country know about Daqin? Completely!"

"This is not a show of etiquette, it is simply stupid!"

Thinking of those things made Brother Dan very angry, "The lion needs to use all his strength to fight the rabbit, not to mention how strong the Great Qin is now, and what is the strength of the demon country? Just facing a big demon border city will lose so many soldiers. There will even be great generals falling, so why should we underestimate the demon kingdom?"

"I don't want to say that they are conceited, but they just have this kind of inexplicable self-confidence, thinking that they are the strongest in the world, which is really ridiculous. The so-called etiquette is really shit. The king really bows his head and bows his head to become a minister, so he can pay attention to whatever he wants at that time!"

"People, you can never see yourself clearly, and you will never know yourself."

Brother Dan, with his hands behind his back, was walking back and forth in front of Messi. After talking bluntly, he felt a little thirsty, so he hurried to the side and poured water, "Hey, it's not good for my size. Always thirsty and hungry."

After drinking water, Brother Dan felt hungry again, so he squatted down and ate jerky.

Messi just laughed, "Didn't your lord say that you can figure it out because you are not in this vicious circle."

Because brother Dan is not a human being, nor is he a monster from the demon kingdom, he is an existence outside this strange circle, so the so-called bystanders can see clearly, so he can see clearly, and he can also escape from the strange circle, instead of showing everything he has to the demon kingdom, trying to prove himself The strength is very strong.

"Hmph." Brother Dan bit the jerky viciously, while pouring water, "Human nature. Dad said that people are born evil, and they need to be served by others to be satisfied. Thirsty, tired, hungry They're all crying, and they have to be taken care of by someone. Right after they were born, they didn't give anything, and they just started to ask for it naturally. It's really not the way of a gentleman..."

"But the adults also said that if the child knows how to be grateful, he will turn these demands into fetters, and when his parents are old, he will feed back."

"Then there are still so many people who don't want to repay you." Brother Dan said, "Tell me that this person shouldn't be so weak from birth, and shouldn't have to rely on asking for money to survive. This is originally wrong. ah."

Brother Dan shook his head old-fashionedly. He used to envy people who were born as human beings, but after he understood it, he realized that being human was too complicated. Anyway, he couldn't figure it out.

"This man." Brother Dan was no longer envious of being a human being.

"En." Messi nodded with a smile, and did not refute Brother Dan's words.

If you really want to say that you don't envy, then only Brother Tan doesn't envy, because he was born in Daqin, and Yan Xun has already paved a broad road for him, he doesn't need to envy others at all, but others should envy him .

They were envious of the former cubs, but now they have become the envy of others.

Messi thought to himself that he used to be envious, but he was lucky and managed to stay.

He picked up the binoculars to look again, and saw that the flesh and blood that had been motionless in his field of vision finally moved.

The lifeless flesh and blood suddenly moved, wriggling slowly, looking a little creepy and shocking.

"Alive." Messi had a clear feeling.

"Let me see." Brother Dan jumped up and picked up his small telescope to look.

The speed of the flesh and blood in the field of vision is getting faster and faster, and the shape is slowly changing...

The tents of the envoys of the Demon Kingdom were replaced with newer ones, and all the furnishings inside were also changed. Xiao Qiu led the Taoist soldiers to set them up personally.

The hyena king couldn't get into the tent because he was too big, so he lay down outside.

Seeing the Taoist soldiers who came to help finally leave, the Hyena King hurriedly said, "Dumeke, it's almost too late. Help me...or else..."

"I know." Dumeke came out of the tent, still holding a piece of shortbread in his hand, opened his mouth wide, and put it directly into his mouth, "But how can we avoid Lord Yan and go there?"

"Think of it." The hyena king was a little anxious, "If you don't go, it will be too late."

"There is no way." Dumeke was also very anxious, but he couldn't think of a way and could only hold back, "How long do you have?"

"Hurry up." The Hyena King gasped heavily, "Dumek, don't forget who you are the baron who helped you get it. If something happens to me, you will be torn alive by them when you go back, don't even think about it." Keep this position."

Dumeke's face suddenly became ugly, "I know. Let's do it at night..."

"Okay." The hyena king then slowly closed his eyes to rest.

night.

In the cement building.

Yan Xun rested for a few days, and finally regained his energy until today, so he invited the cubs to eat hot pot together.

The boiled milky white soup is rolled in the pot, and the thin slices of meat are put in and rolled gently, and then dipped in seasonings, the taste is really amazing.

"I want to eat bean sprouts." Dan Honghong squatted in front of the small plate and waited.

The hot pot was very big, there was a lot of charcoal under it, and the hot food inside was scalding hot. Dan Honghong wanted to go there and do it by herself, but the cubs disagreed. Tell Dan Honghong to wait and eat. , the same is true for Brother Egg.

After a while, the little prince brought three bean sprouts for Dan Honghong.

Dan Honghong immediately took the bean sprouts between the small chopsticks and gnawed, and glanced into the pot again, "I want a piece of meat."

"Okay." The little prince hurriedly helped to boil the meat slices.

When Hyena King and Dumek were making moves, Yan Xun had just finished eating the hot pot, and the dining table had just been cleared, and the place where the hot pot was placed was still boiling hot.

"The hyena king has come out." The war rabbit cub said, "It really came for the battlefield."

"Have the envoys of the Demon Kingdom moved?" Yan Xun asked hastily.

"Only Dumeke came out, and the other envoys from the demon kingdom didn't move." Shaking the mountain cub said, "Sir, shall we fight?"

"Lead them to the battlefield." Yan Xun stood up and walked out, "Ready to fight."

"Oh!" Brother Dan jumped up, and ran to the porch to find his new shirt.

"Leave the defense line ahead of time and let them in. Inform General Yang that Zeng soldiers will continue on the periphery, and Zeng soldiers in the square will also keep an eye on the envoys of the Demon Kingdom." Yan Xun walked out while arranging his battle robes, "We are at the very end of the battlefield. The center is waiting for the hyena king to come!"

King Hyena and Dumek broke out, all the way unimpeded.

When he was about to approach the battlefield, the Hyena King suddenly paused, "It's almost too late."

"Quick!" Dumeke was in a hurry.

"I'm afraid it's too late." The Hyena King closed his eyes, "Hurry up."

Breaking into the battlefield unimpeded, Dumeke looked around with a pair of small eyes.He could see clearly that some traces were indeed left by the hyena king, but more traces had nothing to do with the hyena king.

"Did you cooperate with the general at the beginning?" Dumeke looked at these traces and suddenly felt disbelief.

Of course the Hyena King knew why Dumek didn't believe it, "Dumeke, don't underestimate those cubs, they have much more means than we thought."

"I know." Thinking of those little cubs, Dumeke felt a little convinced.

Finally approaching the center of the battlefield, King Hyena and Dumek stopped at the same time.

"Lord Yan!" Hyena King's eyes turned redder, panting heavily, looking at Yan Xun who had been waiting in front of him.

"It's me." Yan Xun took a step forward, raised his umbrella and aimed at the hyena king, "You bastard, what are you doing here? Want to attack the city again?"
