Cub Nursery

The resting place is near the woods, by the river.

Under the watchful eyes of the Taoist soldiers, Krusi easily caught a wild boar covered in black hair and weighed about a kilogram, carried it directly to Yan Xun's distance, and threw it to the ground with a 'slap'.

Ripping off a pig's hind leg and throwing it in front of Yan Xun, Krussy tore open the wild boar's belly with both hands, took out the internal organs, and gnawed the bloody and unremarkable kidney of the wild boar with both hands, which was very bloody.

Yan Xun sat without moving, very calm.

After a while, Jing Fengye came with a net bag, which was full of fish as long as the forearm. "My lord." Jing Fengye sat aside, handled the fish neatly, took out an iron stick to put it on, and took out a row of delicate small iron boxes, spread the seasoning powder on the fish evenly, and put it on the fire Serve on the grill.

Looking at the pig's hind legs, Jing Fengye took out a knife, cut off the skin, and put it on the fire to roast.

Yan Xun took out the noodle cake they brought, put it on the iron rack and baked it crispy and delicious, then cut it from the middle, put the sliced ​​meat from the roasted pork leg, and spread a layer of sauce.

The smell made Crusey sniff his nose and look this way from time to time.

With a wild boar leg, grilled fish and noodle cakes, Yan Xun was full.

When setting off, Jing Fengye packed up his things, and Yan Xun stood beside him motionless.Before getting into the carriage, Crusey and Messi stood where they were, looking at Jing Fengye with dim eyes.

In the carriage, Yan Xun said without hesitation: "It seems that Yaoguo's food is not much better than ours."

"There are also noodles and caramel." Jing Fengye took out crisp noodles and sweet caramel from the carriage.

The carriage not far away suddenly shook, and the war horse snorted, seemingly dissatisfied.

All the way into the capital, Krusi opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

He was greedy on the face, his nose smelled the fresh human smell outside, and his heart was also ready to move, just wanting to see the scared appearance of those people outside, and deliberately showed a fierce expression on his face.

"I saw it!" Brother Dan struggled in Xu Liangmei's arms, "Father, I saw it! It's a monster!"

"It's an envoy, don't call him a monster." Xu Liangmei said gently, "It's like we call someone directly when we see someone, don't you think it's strange?"

"Oh, it's the envoy! Man!" Brother Dan yelled loudly when he knew his mistake and corrected it.

As the carriage moved forward, it turned into a group of tall and thick men outside, with only one child running around.

"Sun Chen'er, come back to me!" Sun Yuanbao patted his thigh, "I'm going to be angry if you don't listen to me anymore!"

"Come, come." Sun Chen'er flew back and threw herself into Sun Yuanbao's arms.

In front of him, Brother Liu was holding a banjo and playing on the side of the road, surrounded by a group of mesmerized men.Brother Liu looked so good that even Krusi was taken aback when he saw it, and subconsciously looked back at Messi sitting in the carriage.

There are golden noodles on the wooden shelf, exuding a mouth-watering fragrance.

Fan Jinshui looked up at the carriage, and exchanged glances with Krussy, then lowered his head normally.

Wang Zhen'er and Pei Yu'er led a group of little brothers, stepping on iron wheel shoes, hula la and galloped past the cement road, laughing and laughing, they all saw the carriage, but they had no fear at all.

The handsome Ye Xianglang, just standing there is a sight, many women are chattering around him.

This Ye Xianglang was usually haunted by ghosts and ghosts, and he couldn't find him, but now he finally appeared, and the women hurriedly gathered around to help Ye Xianglang talk about marriage.

The carriage passed by slowly behind him. The women took a look and found Krussy, but they didn't have time to think about it.

"Dashan, don't be picky. My niece is good-looking and has dexterous hands. She is definitely worthy of you. If you don't like it, I have a nephew..."

"I have a relative from far away, that is a rich family, his elder brother has seen Dashan once, this is going to die, you have to marry..."

Let the mothers and mothers spit and talk, but the mountain remains motionless.

The No. [-] restaurant in the capital opened its doors, and there were people coming and going inside. Everyone looked at the carriages passing by outside, and then continued to talk about themselves.

The carriage followed the concrete road until it reached the gate of Honglu Temple, and finally stopped.

The wall is tall, but it cannot cover the three-story concrete building inside.

There are still concrete statues of the cubs outside, and on the concrete building, there are three words of "nursery hall" written in big.Everything is exactly the same as when Yan Xun left, except that the trees planted by the roadside have begun to take root and sprout.

"Please." Yan Xun hurriedly said when Krusi got off the carriage.

Krusi stared at Yan Xun with a strange expression, and then at Jing Fengye. The front door seemed to be a scourge. He stared at it for a long time, but he still didn't take a step forward.

Everything is different from what I imagined.

"Everything is ready inside, please!" Yan Xun said, without waiting any longer, he turned and entered Honglu Temple.

The flower beds in the yard were specially covered with thatched sheds in winter, but they have been evacuated now, and the flowers and plants inside are growing better than those outside.These are the flowers and plants planted by the little cubs themselves. There is also a similar flower bed in the nursery hall, and the flowers and plants in it are the same.

The house is clean, and the sun shines down, and the inside can be seen clearly through the glass windows.

At the beginning, from three dilapidated houses, they changed little by little, and now they look like this.

It was as if just waking up and seeing the little cubs hiding in the broken house was something that happened yesterday.

"My lord." Jing Fengye stepped forward to open the door, "The clothes inside are all dried every few days, which is the same as other places."

"Very good." Yan Xun nodded.

He never took the initiative to ask these things, it was all discussed by Jing Fengye and the cubs themselves. When they couldn't come in person, they seemed to find someone to take care of them.

"My lord." Zhang Si and Little You'er came here at some point, and started to work in the yard.

Krusim went in and looked around, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.Yan Xun's words, "The food in the Yao country is not good", although he said it in the carriage, he heard it clearly, and now he still has it in his heart, so naturally he dare not say more at this time.

After settling in Krusi and Messi's room, Yan Xun specifically ordered the daily menu, and didn't say anything else.

Si Ping and Shi Yuanshou stayed at Honglu Temple, as for Hu Ru, Yan Xun pretended he hadn't seen him, and then left with Jing Fengye.

Honglu Temple was surrounded by many Taoist soldiers again, only a lot more than before.This time Yan Xun agreed to do so, and told the Taoist soldiers to keep an eye on the gate and protect Zhang Si and Xiao Youer.

All the people on the street outside dispersed, the shops opened and closed, and the occasional passers-by had nothing to do with the envoy.

Back at the nursery hall, Yan Xun just sat down when all the cubs surrounded him.

This time was the longest time Yan Xun and the cubs left, went to the border, and then came back non-stop, even if it was day and night, it would take several days.

The cubs surrounded Yan Xun with smiles on their faces, but Yan Xun looked at them, and all of them looked haggard and thinner.

"My lord." The snake body cub threw himself into Yan Xun's arms, rubbing his face against Yan Xun's clothes, "You are back, I hope for the stars and the moon, counting the days, I always feel that my lord will come back soon, But there are still no adults on the bridge."

"My lord, we are all obedient." The flower tree cub stood up and whispered.

The war rabbit cub puffed up his chest, "I went to the beach to inspect."

"My lord, little Chun'er has learned to ride the little iron donkey, but the little wheel still cannot be removed."

"Tie Niu's cultivation has recovered, but he lost an arm and can't act like a coyote. I helped him find a logistics job, and he is doing very well now."

"grown ups……"

Yan Xun looked at the cubs, touched their faces one by one, and hugged them one by one, and then said: "They are all obedient, and they are doing well. I am very relieved and happy."

The little cubs were also happy, and the whole cub was radiant.

Touching their faces, they all lost weight, Yan Xun was very distressed, and hurried to the kitchen.

A large pot of steamed pork ribs, crispy and delicious oil cakes, and fragrant vegetable soup.Yan Xun made a whole big table, didn't care if it was time to eat, he directly called the cubs to eat on the kang.

After eating a meal, the cubs finally relaxed a lot.

"My lord, there are several recipes for making paper. This is the finished product. Take a look." The Flame Cub ran to fetch a stack of different papers and handed them to Yan Xun, with big eyes shining, looking forward to it.

There are several types of paper, with varying degrees of roughness.

Some of them can still see the shape of grass blades, some of them are very delicate, white like a lime wall, and some are very soft with many folds on them.

Before leaving, Yan Xun just said casually, but he didn't expect the little cubs to actually do so many tricks.

The difficulty in making a breakthrough in papermaking lies in the raw materials. Raw materials such as leaves, trees, and vegetation are not difficult to find. The difficulty lies in finding the things that turn these vegetation into fine pulp, as well as the glue that binds the fine pulp. The second is the formula.

"There is a little bouncy glue in it." The bouncy cub said proudly, "The recipe was incomplete at first, but after I thought about it, my bouncy glue seemed to be diluted, so I put a little bit in."

The little cub stretched out its paws, and stretched out a single finger, gesticulating at Yan Xun as much as a fingernail, "That's all, it's very effective, it's easy to use the fine paste."

Yan Xun also suddenly became enlightened, he knew that with the current technology, it might be impossible to make such a good paper, if there is a bouncing cub to help, it will be different.

"The pencil is also made." The Cub Claw took out the pencil he had made.

It was also a coincidence that the graphite mine was next to the coal mine.

But Yan Xun didn't say anything when he found out, he just asked Wang Zhen'er to buy all the nearby mountains and mine some secretly.

The little cubs have never had time to study, this time Yan Xun is not here, the little cubs feel uneasy about doing anything, but if they are idle, they will be even more uneasy, so they took Shi Mo to study it.

Clay, graphite, and a little bit of elastic rubber that are almost negligible are evenly mixed, and then calcined and pressed to produce a perfect lead core.

Now with machine tools, wooden shells are easy to build.

Yan Xun took the sharpened pencil, wrote a few words on the paper, and was immediately satisfied, "Very good, let's build a workshop. These two things will be mass-produced during this period, and they will be of great use."

"En!" The cubs all nodded.

When the adults come back, they always feel that their hearts have become more at ease again.

At dinner in the evening, Zhou Guang came, and Yan Xun hurriedly asked him to eat with him.

"Brother." Zhou Guang didn't have much joy on his face, "Tell me honestly, does the envoy of the Demon Kingdom know the purpose?"

"I don't know yet, but the people who came here are not kind." Yan Xun didn't hide the truth from Zhou Guang, and briefly told what happened on the way, and guessed, "I haven't figured out the situation in the Yao Kingdom yet, I only know The food in Yao Country is probably not as good as ours."

The food on the dining table was full of aroma, and even Zhou Guang couldn't help swallowing the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

Yan Xun's food here is also good in the whole of Daqin, and it can't be compared with Yaoguo.

"Hey." Zhou Guang sighed.

For so many years, Daqin's understanding of the Yao Kingdom is very limited.

Before defeating the demon country, Daqin could only defend passively. Even if he wins miserably, he still has no ability to actively infiltrate the demon country.Therefore, at this time, the understanding of the demon kingdom rests with these two envoys.

"Does the emperor have any orders?" Yan Xun asked suddenly.

Zhou Guang was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, or you don't say it."

Envoys from the demon kingdom were coming, and the emperor was in a hurry to hold big and small court meetings every day, and privately meet with the officials, one after another.If it wasn't for Yan Xun's attention, I am afraid that before the envoys from the Dao Yao Kingdom came to the capital, the Honglu Temple team might not be able to form.

Now that the team is in place, and the envoys from the demon country have been resolved all the way to Beijing, the emperor heaves a sigh of relief and sends a message to Zhou Guang alone, asking him to find Yan Xun and move Honglu Temple to the bridge.

There are many workshops on the side of the bridge, all of which are confidential, and there are bloodthirsty fish demons by the sea, no matter what, the envoys of the demon kingdom should not be allowed to approach.

Zhou Guang knew this, so he chose not to tell Yan Xun.

"I understand." Yan Xun understood.

"Brother..." Zhou Guang had an ugly face. He was a staunch royalist, and now he felt a little shameless.

"It's okay, once I figure out the purpose of the demon country's envoy, I can expel them as soon as possible." Yan Xun was not angry, but very sober, "We don't have the ability to confront the demon country head-on, so we can only take one step at a time."

"Young brother can see clearly." Zhou Guang said.

Yan Xun asked again: "Who will preside over the banquet for the envoys of the demon kingdom, but someone will choose? Several princes are fine, if not, even clan relatives are fine. Half of the capital is full of imperial relatives and nobles. Choose it?"

After asking this question, Zhou Guang simply lowered his head and stopped talking.

There are a lot of nobles and nobles in the capital, if one brick falls, not to mention eight, three or five will always hit.

It's just that this is not to gain benefits, but to face the monster face to face, who dares?

Those who claimed to be sick, those who went out of the city to visit relatives, and some who pretended to be crazy, suddenly all the nobles and nobles in the capital were sick, and those with some strength simply stalked the emperor and refused to go, what else could they do?

"It won't work like this, the banquet must be done as soon as possible." Yan Xun thought for a while and said, "Ask if there are any brave brothers and sisters in the palace. If anyone is willing, I will be named a princess or prince!"

"This is a good idea!" Zhou Guang's eyes lit up, and he hurried into the palace to face the saint.

When the emperor heard this, he felt that this method was indeed possible.The adoption of a son or daughter is just a little more money, and it can solve the problem, just release the news.

Krusey and Messi can be seen as monsters at a glance, and one of them is a big monster.

This is different from the little cubs, the little cubs are not even considered demons, just like a toddler and a Taoist soldier, so children are naturally not scary.

The big demon is different, if not done well, it may be fatal.

However, seeking wealth and insurance is a good opportunity to change the destiny of a lifetime.

"I am willing!" When the eunuch said this, Brother Huan said loudly, "I am willing."

He has a good face and a slender figure. He is the younger brother in his prime, but his parents are both slaves and have already passed away. He is also a little slave and will never change his status in this life.

The eunuch saw that he looked really good, and said, "Follow me."

Brother Huan followed and met many people, and seemed to see the emperor, but he kept kneeling on the ground with his face pressed against the ground, and he didn't know who he saw.

Until he came out of the palace, he sat in the carriage for a long time.

Brother Huan got off the carriage and saw the flat concrete floor under his feet, his eyes widened in surprise, and he followed into the concrete house, his eyes widening even wider.

Is this a stone house?

He has been working in the deep palace, responsible for starching and washing the clothes of eunuchs, and has never heard of such a thing as cement.

"You are Brother Huan?" Yan Xun said gently, "Raise your head, let me take a closer look."

The tone was not condescending, as if Brother Huan and him were ordinary people.

Brother Huan raised his head boldly, took a look, and was dumbfounded for a moment.

The flower tree cub ran over, "Brother Huan, come with me, I'll check your body and give you a vaccine."

After entering the house, Brother Huan was stunned after experiencing many things.It wasn't until he came back to Yan Xun again and saw Yan Xun smiling at him that Brother Huan came back to his senses and stammered: "You, you...you are so pretty."

"You look good too." Yan Xun smiled, "From now on, you will be ours. They have gone to get you clothes, and the place to live has been arranged, so you can stay here to learn something for these two days."

"Thank you, sir." Brother Huan hurriedly knelt down.

"Don't kneel." Yan Xun helped Brother Huan up, "I know that your life was hard before, but it will definitely not be the case in the future. Don't worry, even if I let you face the envoys of the Demon Kingdom, I will be there for you." Those around you, as long as I don't fall, you will be fine."

Brother Huan nodded ignorantly.

After arriving in his own concrete house, with his clothes and soft bedding on the kang, Brother Huan finally realized slowly that he had really changed himself.

He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a man next to that good-looking and good-looking man who was a monster, with obvious dragon scale marks on his face, but he didn't think it was scary at all, but the big eunuch who used to take care of their laundry was even more scary Some.

During the rest at night, Yan Xun told the cubs a story, sent them to sleep, and went to the opposite room by himself.

Jing Fengye had already laid out the bedding, and knelt beside him, waiting for Yan Xun to enter the bed.

He also prepared all the clothes to wear tomorrow, and put them on the cabinet.There was an oil lamp burning next to it, the window was opened a crack to let in air, and there was a stove outside warming hot water to prevent Yan Xun from getting thirsty at night.

All this he did very well.

"The envoy of the Yao Kingdom is a monster." Yan Xun got on the kang, took off his coat, and handed it to Jing Fengye, "What do you think? You are also a monster, and you will always have to deal with the Yao Kingdom in the future. It is impossible to stay with me all the time. around."

Jing Fengye was taken aback.

In fact, he is very happy every day, because he can see Yan Xun when he opens his eyes, and he is always by Yan Xun's side. His world is full of Yan Xun.

This kind of life has never been done before, and he likes it like never before.

"My lord." Jing Fengye hurried over, "I want to stay by my lord's side all the time, as long as my lord doesn't drive me away."

Even if he was driven away, he would still guard Yan Xun secretly.

In this life, he probably won't have any other ideas.

"I don't want to drive you away, but you have to have your own affairs." Yan Xun raised his hand, put it on Jing Fengye's face, and said gently, "This time the envoy from the demon kingdom is your chance. The others Don't dare to approach, and the cubs are still young, I don't want them to be exposed to these intrigues so quickly, so I hope you can change."

Jing Fengye looked into Yan Xun's eyes, and saw hope from inside.

He suddenly remembered that from the very beginning, Yan Xun managed interpersonal relationships and earned so much money, even if he encountered a few major incidents, he was able to handle the ending with ease, and Yan Xun explained to him carefully the stakes Pass.

At that time, he simply understood it, and wrote it down. At this time, Yan Xun mentioned it again, and Jing Fengye suddenly understood it.

"I can't do it on my own, and I need the help of adults." Jing Fengye hurriedly said, "Without adults, I can't do it."

"The cubs can find the recipe for making paper without me, why can't you?" Yan Xun was surprised.

"They all know that your lord will definitely come back. If your lord doesn't come back, they won't be able to find a recipe for making paper." Jing Fengye said while holding Yan Xun's hand, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I need you .”

The feeling of being depended on is really good, Yan Xun smiled and nodded.

The kang was not heated at night, it was a little bit cold now, Yan Xun leaned on Jing Fengye and said, "How about we sleep under the same blanket tonight?"

"Okay." Jing Fengye hurriedly took out a big quilt and covered the two of them.

In the morning, Qin Shisan galloped on an iron donkey to the Danxin Bridge, met Qin Liu who was riding a carriage, and the two came to the construction of the Conservation Hall together.

In the room, Qin San had come early, with a serious expression on his face.

Yan Xun sat at the front, and the cubs hid behind him. At the front, brother Huan's appearance changed drastically.

He took a shower and changed into clean clothes, which are good materials that princes would wear, but he felt that he didn't know how to put them on. Seeing Yan Xun sitting still, he just imitated Yan Xun.

"Are you Brother Huan?" Qin Shisan walked around Brother Huan and said, "You look really good-looking."

Brother Huan hurriedly stood up, "The Thirteenth Prince."

"No need to be too polite." Qin Shisan hurriedly said, let Brother Huan sit down, and then asked Yan Xun, "My lord, is Brother Huan now the prince or the clan, or who..." He pointed to the east.

Yan Xun thought for a while and said, "Just like the fourth prince."

"This is easy." Qin San was one year older than the fourth prince and knew the fourth prince best, so he said, "Brother Huan, you are like this, follow my example, right..."

The three princes taught Brother Huan together, and within a day, he had a good appearance, plus his good looks, at first glance, he really couldn't tell the difference.
