The cute pet of the empire

In the dark night, a furry head poked out from the carriage loaded with grain and grass.

The head was round and big, and a pair of blue eyes collected the faint light in the dark night, seeing everything around clearly.

The beard trembled, judging the direction of the airflow in the air, and his ears turned around to catch any slight movement.

Then, the front paws were stretched out gently, and the flesh pads stepped on the ground without making a sound.

Regarding how to use the leopard's body, Mao Xiaohua, who was once a human, has already used it very skillfully.

He lowered his body, used his protective colors, sneaked out of the carriage, hid at the bottom of the carriage, and waited for a good time to come.

I've been hungry for two whole days, it's time to get another piece of meat to eat.

Mao Xiaohua is very patient with the matter of getting food. The only reason he chooses to steal food instead of hunting is that it is easier to steal food, and...everything is stolen from Luo Huan.

After the patrolling guards passed by, Mao Xiaohua chose a downwind direction, avoiding the patrol dogs with a sharper sense of smell and the leopards on the outside, and ran to the back of another tent.

Soldiers who occasionally saw this scene rubbed their eyes, was it dazzled?Why do you see a white lightning flashing across the ground?

Mao Xiaohua, who found the hiding place again, was very satisfied with his actions. He licked his paws and continued to walk towards the food storage place.

Only took two steps... No, it seems to be discovered!

It was a coincidence that two soldiers hid in the shadows and misfired their guns. When they were about to shoot, one of them suddenly turned around and stared at Mao Xiaohua.

"Hush!" The soldier put his index finger to his lips, and made a silent movement towards Mao Xiaohua.

And Mao Xiaohua blinked, rolled on the ground resolutely, showing her belly arched, showing that she was very friendly.

So one person and one leopard became very tacit, doing their own things without exposing each other.

There was a muffled "pop" sound in the darkness, accompanied by Mao Xiaohua's back.

When Mao Xiaohua tiptoed to the tent where the food was stored, she felt that Luo Huan's army needed to rectify its military discipline!

It is obvious that the lights should be blown out during the break, pickets should be organized, and this unhealthy trend should be extinguished!

Mao Xiaohua was thinking wildly in her brain, until she smelled the aroma of beef, her brain froze, and only three words were left dangling in front of her eyes - meat!Meat!Meat!

Today's meat is very fresh, it should be the local collected goats that have just been slaughtered.

Mao Xiaohua couldn't help sticking out her tongue and licking her nose. He easily found the bloody mutton piled on a low table with a tempting smell.

And the cook in the kitchen was dissecting these sheep overnight.

Mao Xiaohua shook her ears, licked her nose again, cooking overnight?It seems that there will be a military operation in the middle of the night today. In this way, Luo Huan's logistics is pretty good for feeding the soldiers before the battle!

So... In view of such good logistics, the piece of meat I stole should not be missed!

Mao Xiaohua spun around and quietly lurked behind the low table.

It's a bit troublesome, there is a low wall behind the low table, and there is a large open space in front, but it doesn't matter, after you grab a piece of meat, you can jump off the open space and escape, even if the cook finds it, it is impossible to catch up!

Mao Xiaohua climbed up the low wall carefully, while the cook was still chopping meat carefully under the moonlight.

Mao Huhu's claws stretched out, pulling and pulling, the position of the piece of meat seemed not to be well placed.

So Mao Xiaohua lightly stepped on the low wall with two front paws, fully lengthened her body, stretched her head over, sniffed, picked the freshest piece, and opened her mouth to bite.

"Who! What is stealing meat!" The cook, who was still concentrating on chopping meat just now, suddenly turned around, holding a heavy bone chopping knife in his hand, with a fierce expression on his face!

Mao Xiaohua was startled, and instinctively wanted to run away. Taking advantage of his posture, he pressed his limbs on the wall, jumped out of the air, and jumped to the open space in front of him.

When the leopard jumped, it could jump up to 12 meters. It was impossible for the cook to catch up! !

Mao Xiaohua in mid-air held the bloody meat in her mouth, feeling her whole body trembling with happiness, ah, the feeling of fleeing openly after stealing the meat is really great!

Great……

All right……

Up...

Boom!There was a loud bang, Mao Xiaohua fell to the ground, and there was a sound of branches breaking on the ground. Mao Xiaohua's claws were scratching in the air, but it was useless.

It fell into a trap that was more than ten meters deep. Not only that, but the mechanism of the trap was also very ingeniously designed. When he just fell in, a bamboo fence above his head was about to come out to cover him.

Mao Xiaohua's head was covered with dust, and two leaves were stuck to her ears, with meat in her mouth, she looked up.

The ferocious chef held his own bone-chopping knife triumphantly: "I finally caught you, a thief! Still want to run away? I used to be a hunter!"

Mao Xiaohua choked speechlessly, and was caught by someone, and the thing in her mouth was stolen goods.

"Tie up this thief, I'm going to the king!"

When the patrolling soldiers heard that the cook had finally caught the thief, they rushed over with torches and saw a white leopard at the bottom of the pit.

"Isn't this your Majesty's leopard? It's called Jon..." the soldier asked the cook, "Are you sure you want to trouble the king?"

The cook slammed the machete in his hand into the ground: "I don't care whose leopard it is! In short, according to the rules, if Luo Huan dares to openly protect his leopard... Hehe! I will... I will eat it from him in the future... Spit in the rice!"

Mao Xiaohua was so frightened that her ears curled up: If I knew this cook was so fierce, I might as well go out to get some wild food, steal a piece of meat, or Luo Huan's money, as for it?

Luo Huan was a little restless today. He hurried back after searching for the leopard to no avail. Now he is sitting in his tent, looking at the sand table in front of him and thinking about the next military move.

However, Luo Huan, who is usually able to concentrate, is a bit difficult to enter the state at this time.

He was always worried about Mao Xiaohua, the leopard ran away in a fit of anger, but he was just a leopard after all, although he should be able to take care of himself at ordinary times, but when the terrible estrus came, the leopard turned into a weak black-haired boy , what should he do?

Luo Huan was a little distracted and felt unable to think about military operations.

So he just solved another problem. He sat at his desk, picked up a quill pen and began to write a letter to his uncle.

The most important question in writing a letter, of course, is about marriage.

He had already made up his mind to reject this matter, and now he was thinking about how to word it and settle this matter properly.

Luo Huan thought about several beginnings, but they all failed. He found that when he wrote the letter, he was even more absent-minded.Back and forth in my mind is always the image of the black-haired boy lying weak and helpless on the ground.

Luo Huan simply put away his pen and walked around the tent twice. When he was getting anxious, he suddenly heard a quarrel outside.

"Let me see His Majesty, I have the right to see him!"

Luo Huan frowned. He opened the tent and saw his guards blocking a few low-level soldiers in the night.

Those few low-ranking soldiers were yelling loudly around a cook with a swollen face and a fierce face.

The cook was carrying a big bag on his back, which seemed to contain something, and the thing was still arching and arching inside the cloth bag.

"What's the matter?" Luo Huan asked.

"Your Majesty, do you still count the decrees you promulgated 20 days ago?" The cook walked into the king's tent, threw the cloth bag on his back on the ground, and asked loudly in front of everyone.

Luo Huan raised his eyebrows, a cook, came here to talk to himself about the law?

"Of course it counts!" Luo Huan said, guessing why the cook came to him, and reiterated the decree that may be related to the cook, "All food and utensils are public property, and everyone has a fixed quota. Whoever does the damage will be held accountable by himself and the officers of the third rank above him."

The cook confidently pointed to the cloth bag that was still moving on the ground: "I caught a food thief!"

Luo Huan felt very speechless. The thief who stole the food should be sent to the military adjudicator for execution. Why did he make a fuss in front of him.

"The adjudicator dare not convict this thief and his superiors! I just came to ask His Majesty the King, do you dare?!" the cook said while undoing the cloth bag.

A fluffy ear appeared at the mouth of the bag, casting a shadow under the candlelight in the tent.

Luo Huan's heart suddenly missed half a beat!

He took a step forward and pulled open the cloth bag, and the chubby leopard rolled out of the cloth bag. Its limbs were bound by the cloth bag, its mouth was stuffed with cloth strips, and its eyes were full of grievances and begging for mercy.

And a piece of ash-filled mutton, right next to it, with tooth marks on it, is the best proof.

"Jon...!" Luo Huan had mixed feelings for a moment.I have been looking for him for such a long time, and for this reason I was delayed for three full days in the palace and rushed on the road overnight.

As a result, this leopard actually hid in his own army - stealing meat to eat!

Luo Huan raised his head, looked at the cook, and felt that the cook had done a great job: "What's your name?"

The cook felt a little guilty, but felt that he had done nothing wrong, and that he had done everything in accordance with the decree issued by His Majesty the King.

So he puffed up his chest, ignored the dissuasion and hints from several friends around him, and said loudly: "Federe, Your Majesty!"

"Do you know that this is my leopard?!" Luo Huan raised his eyebrows, "How dare you tie him like this?"

Federer felt that the king in front of him seemed a little angry, but he was not afraid, and replied loudly: "I know this is your majesty the leopard! According to the latest regulations you issued 20 days ago, your leopard should be punished as a coolie." One month!"

Luo Huan coughed: "Mmm..." This is indeed what he himself said and clearly stipulated.

He glanced at Mao Xiaohua on the ground, and felt that the leopard was looking at him pitifully, but there were so many people around him, as a king, it was impossible for him to go back on his word when this kind of people got all the money.

So Luo Huan lowered his head and looked at the pitiful captured leopard: "From today onwards, you will be in charge of patrolling and guarding the perimeter every day!"

After finishing speaking, Luo Huan shrugged helplessly: "That's all a leopard can do."

Federet swallowed and looked at Luo Huan.

Luo Huan was also looking at the cook, waiting for his next words.

If this cook really has the guts to say what follows.

The soldiers around Federer were already tugging at his sleeves, signaling him to accept as soon as he was good, and not to offend the king.

"The superior of the person who made the mistake must be held accountable!" Federer mustered up his courage. He was running out of ingredients, and it would be very troublesome if he didn't make this point clear.

"You said it was the upper three levels. But this is your leopard...his master is only you. So, according to the decree issued 20 days ago..."

Luo Huan's gaze became very sharp at this moment, with a trace of displeasure, his voice was chilling: "Then Federer, do you want to hold me accountable?"

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly froze.

Federer swallowed hard: "According to the law, this leopard stole a total of ten catties of meat from the army. Your meat quota for this month has been used up! From now on, you can only eat sweet potatoes."

After Federer finished speaking in one breath, he watched Luo Huan walk towards him step by step, trembling nervously.

He even saw Luo Huan's hand on the dagger at his waist, if the king was furious and killed himself...

"Federe?!" Luo Huan walked in front of the cook and asked abruptly, "You remember this decree so clearly, so do you remember that there is a crime of disobedience against the master, that slaves are to be dragged out to have their bones removed?" !"

"I'm not a slave, but a commoner of Royce." The cook argued, "According to the relevant laws, you... even if you are the king, you can't kill me casually..."

Luo Huan raised his eyebrows: "Really, what do you remember?"

The cook was trembling all over, and he stammered and began to recite the decrees he knew: "When...you were enthroned..., there was a decree prohibiting the slaughter of horses. The first one was... three months ago. It's been...announced that slaves who get military merit can turn into civilians..."

Federer said one by one, from the crime of theft to homicide to the crime of breaking military discipline.

There are a total of [-] articles, and when each article is promulgated and how to implement it, they are clearly memorized.

Luo Huan looked at the cook coldly while he was reciting the decree.

When he finished the last one, Luo Huan drew out his dagger, and the blade touched Federer's neck: "I remember it very clearly, but it's useless! That leopard is my pet, and I also I don’t plan to live on eating sweet potatoes from now on. Now, if you get out of here, I will spare your life!”

Federer was already trembling with fear, but at this moment, he did not know where the courage came from. He looked up at Luo Huan's eyes: "I am willing to use my life in exchange for the verdict that should be given!"

An invisible smile appeared on the corner of Luo Huan's mouth.

Then, the smile gradually widened, blurring his eyes.

The short sword in Luo Huan's hand turned slightly, inserted it back into the scabbard, and handed it to Federe.

"Very good, brave, honest, not threatened, and keep all laws in mind. I just need a law enforcement officer like this. Federer, starting today, you will be promoted to my law enforcement officer. The dagger I will give you is token."

"But, I'm a cook... No, I won't do that..." Federer frantically refused.

Luo Huan returned to his seat: "It doesn't matter, I will send someone to teach you what to do. You just need to remember that if someone challenges my decree in the future, treat him like you treat me today! King Luo of Royce Huan and his leopard, is the first case you ruled. I accept your judgment."

Federer was completely stunned, and the soldiers who were worried that he would lose his head cheered at this moment and hugged him out of the tent.

A cook became an army law enforcement officer overnight, and the news quickly spread throughout the barracks.

Low-level soldiers and officers naturally have nothing to say, they can only envy his luck.

The senior generals and nobles in the army sighed softly after hearing about this incident.

Law enforcement officials who dare to challenge the king will try to avoid it as much as possible in the future.

In the tent, Luo Huan, holding a candlestick, was in a very good mood.

He squatted beside Mao Xiaohua, looking at the leopard that was tightly bound and sent to him, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"So, you were finally caught in front of me." Luo Huan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, "You actually stole military rations and made me unable to eat meat for a month, Mao Xiaohua, you have to do this , pay the price!"

Mao Xiaohua sighed in her heart, man is a knife, I am a fish, and she is talking about her current situation.

He flicked his tail, expressing that he was too unlucky, stupid Luo Huan, stop talking nonsense, let go of yourself first!

Luo Huan just squatted like this, looking at the unlucky leopard.

He originally wanted to explain what he said that night, but now, seeing how unlucky the leopard looked, he felt that it didn't matter if he didn't explain it.

Anyway, it has returned to itself, and there will be plenty of time in the future to communicate slowly.

Luo Huan reached out, rubbed his leopard's head, and then stroked its belly.

The hair on the head is stiff and not very clean.His stomach is flat, and he looks hungry.

Well, first give this leopard a bath, then feed it, and finally talk about life!

The huge wooden barrel was filled with clean water, and the white leopard was stuffed into it, accepting the bath with some reluctance.

Luo Huan was very patient and interested in putting aside those sand tables, letters, and military newspapers, sat on a low stool by the bucket, and concentrated on bathing Mao Xiaohua.

Squeeze the water to the top of the leopard's head, apply soap locust, and knead bubbles one after another. Under the dim light, those bubbles fly into the air and become colorful.

Mao Xiaohua whimpered and tried to struggle, trying to resist.

But helplessly, his limbs are still bound up to now, and his mouth is still stuffed with cloth strips by that damn cook Federe.But Luo Huan didn't help him untie, let alone take out the cloth that stuffed his mouth.

"Woooooooooooooo" Mao Xiaohua could only show a compromising expression, and looked at Luo Huan pitifully: buddy, can you untie me first, and then come to take a bath?

The corners of Luo Huan's mouth turned up, and his wheat-colored skin made his face even more handsome. He quickly rubbed Mao Xiaohua's chin, his voice was gentle and threatening: "I'll take out what was stuffed in your mouth." , don’t yell, don’t yell, and don’t bite me. Otherwise... I’ll just tie you up like this until you transform.”

Until... the time to transform?Mao Xiaohua made up her own image, her hands and feet were bound and she couldn't move, her mouth was still tied with a cloth strip, this is a picture of being slaughtered!

Mao Xiaohua nodded quickly, expressing that she would untie the tie quickly, because Uncle Leopard would never bite.

Luo Huan smiled even brighter, and he pulled out the cloth strip from Mao Xiaohua's mouth, probably because Federe was too rough when he caught the leopard, and Mao Xiaohua's gums were bleeding.

Luo Huan's heart ached for no reason, and he asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

The voice was as gentle as a sympathetic murmur, and Mao Xiaohua fell into a trap all of a sudden, but it didn't hurt much at all. For a leopard, it wasn't even an injury, but he liked Luo Huan's concern.

"Then I will untie your limbs now, so don't run away suddenly, okay?" Luo Huan's voice was low and hoarse, with a masculine charm, "That night, I didn't mean that... I have been looking for you for many days, I finally met today, don’t run away anymore. If you are unhappy or have something to say to me, we can wait until the full moon to talk to each other. But before that, when you can’t talk , don’t suddenly get angry and run away, okay?”

Mao Xiaohua raised her head and looked at the man in front of her who was washing herself.

The other party's expression was serious, his eyes were sincere, and he smelled good. Thinking of the intimacy the two had had, Mao Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

"Wow~" Mao Xiaohua made a low voice, he tried to get close to Luo Huan, and Luo Huan also tried to get close to him.

Mao Xiaohua carefully stuck out her tongue, and licked Luo Huan's chin with the tip of her tongue. The short, hard stubble on her chin had the same texture as usual, hard, and the tip of her tongue felt a little numb.

And Luo Huan, at this moment, hugged the leopard's head, looking into those blue eyes.

After a while, he lowered his head slightly and kissed the leopard's eyes and its wet nose.

At this moment, when his lips touched the nose with a hint of cold breath, those messy pictures in his mind disappeared.

Whether it's a boy or a leopard, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, the one in front of me is my favorite and most cherished.

Luo Huan bent down and untied the cloth strips binding Mao Xiaohua's limbs. The cloth strips were neither loose nor tight, and did not hurt the leopard. It seemed that the cook was not an ignorant person.

Luo Huan is very satisfied with his newly promoted law enforcement officer.

He carefully cleaned the obedient leopard, not letting go of the ears, armpits, belly, and nails. The leopard was lying in the bucket with its eyes slightly closed, enjoying Luo Huan's service.

The night wind blew into the account, messing up the documents on the desk. After cleaning the leopard, Luo Huan, who had a full meal with it, sat in front of the desk, his brain no longer lagging, and soon finished writing for Uncle's letter, and made a preliminary battle plan.

As for Mao Xiaohua, she put her paws on Luo Huan's thighs, and rested her head on the paws. After eating and drinking, he was satisfied with smelling Luo Huan's smell and fell asleep.
