The cute pet of the empire
Chapter 83
Luo Huan got on the horse, and with a little force on his arm, he lifted Mao Xiaohua onto the horse, and did not shy away from sharing the ride with everyone.
Sitting in front of Luo Huan, Mao Xiaohua had the urge to find a hole in the ground and get into it. At this time, he was really glad that he had his head covered.
The group of people returned to the camp. Garuner and the other generals were waiting for Luo Huan outside the camp. They were surprised to see him bring a mysterious stranger back.
Especially Garuner, he opened his mouth several times, but closed it several times.
When others did not ask in advance, he knew exactly what he should ask and what he should not ask.
But soon, when Luo Huan and Mao Xiaohua entered the camp together, what happened tonight spread throughout the camp as if they had wings.
Almost everyone knew that Luo Huan had an open friend.
This means that Luo Huan has disclosed his sexual orientation to everyone. Although there were some rumors before, most people think that Luo Huan is just playing for fun, but it has never been so violent and conclusive this time.
As Lan Manda who had been rejected by Luo Huan and went out with Sid, at this moment, she looked at the lights coming from Luo Huan's camp from afar, and finally gave up completely, and turned her attention to her husband who was hugging her.
And the other person, El's little prince Garuner, pursed his lips slightly and looked at Luo Huan's tent.
That mysterious person... who could it be?Is it the El people, the Royce people, or the Alanwei people?
In Luo Huan's camp, the candles were dimly lit, making the shadows in the tent extremely long.
The cloak covering Mao Xiaohua's head was untied layer by layer, and the blue eyes seemed a little cramped.
"I... don't want to appear in front of everyone like this." Mao Xiaohua said hesitantly.
Luo Huan smiled slightly, didn't say much, just blew out the candle.
In the darkness, Leopard's eyes sparkled, and he could see everything around him clearly, but this kind of darkness gave him a lot of peace of mind.
"Don't worry, you will stay by my side from now on." Luo Huan's gentle and firm voice rang in Mao Xiaohua's ears, and he took his hand, and they slept together as usual.
Luo Huan made a specific set of armor for Mao Xiaohua. The helmet was in the shape of a beast. The helmet covered the entire head, leaving only two blue eyes.
The iron armor on his body is not much different from the guards around him, but there are some decorations on the waist, which makes the whole person look more upright.
The white cloak was inlaid with golden patterns, making his slender legs even more straight.
Standing by the river, looking at her own reflection in the river, Mao Xiaohua felt much better.
This set of armor looks majestic and vigorous, especially the elegant and noble beast carved on the helmet, which looks extremely intimidating and beautiful, without feeling weird at all.
"Starting today, he will join my bodyguard." Luo Huan took Mao Xiaohua and formally introduced him to everyone.
No one dared to openly question Luo Huan's decision under such circumstances, but suspicious eyes fell on Mao Xiaohua, including the members of the guards.
Everyone inside is of noble birth, has experienced many battles, and possesses absolute force and wisdom.
But now, this person named Mao Xiaohua wants to break this rule just because the king who is serving with his ass is happy?
"Luo Huan! Do you want to think about this again?" Sid spoke first, "I don't think your friend has the qualifications..."
Luo Huan's voice cannot be questioned: "He has! Definitely...will!"
Everyone began to keep silent, and no longer entangled too much on this issue.
Whether this person is qualified or not can be detected in one battle, and under the current situation, Luo Huan's army is not short of battles.
More serious matters lie ahead of the expeditionary army.
Because of the previous accident, the Leopard Army was considered unreliable. Although Luo Huan wanted to put it on the battlefield again, his generals were very firm in their opposition. Luo Huan had to consider their opinions. Putting that aside for now.
The result of this suspension is that since the leopard army is no longer used, there is no need for so many leopards, let alone the need to spend a lot of effort to raise them.
Most of the newly trained leopards that originally belonged to El were exiled to the wild, either sent back to the rear, or forced to become wild leopards wandering on the grassland.
As for the leopards who came from Royce, some of them were too old to bear the endless long-distance travel and bad weather, and died of illness in the army.
Lili was one of those leopards who died of illness. When Mao Xiaohua passed by the leopard camp and saw Lili died of illness, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
This was the first female leopard he came to this world to treat him well. When Lily fell down panting in the damp leopard camp and finally closed her emerald green eyes, Hao An couldn't help crying.
Mao Xiaohua stood there watching for a long, long time, without saying a word in silence.
Galen and Fufa surrounded Lily, Fufa still looked cold, but Galen roared and rushed towards Mao Xiaohua.
"Roar!" Galen roared at Mao Xiaohua, the meaning in his voice was obvious: If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be in this situation at all!
Mao Xiaohua didn't retreat, the armor on his body was so thick that Galen's claws couldn't break it at all, and the animal trainer Hao An also grabbed the leopard in time, for fear that he would scratch the king's new favorite.
As for Ma Tuo, who was in charge of training the leopard army, after the incident happened, he was dismissed from his position and became an ordinary breeder.
Together with Hao An, he was used as a punching bag by the soldiers who couldn't go home these days.
Ma Tuo didn't have too many complaints, he accepted all this calmly, only when he looked at Mao Xiaohua who had never shown his true face, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"I know, you are Jon." When the two met unexpectedly, Ma Tuo said, "What happened that day? Why didn't you dare to let everyone see you? Why did you come back? These leopards argue!"
Mao Xiaohua didn't answer, he turned his head and looked at Ma Tuo quietly.
"I'm sorry, I... can't go back." Mao Xiaohua's voice was hoarse, and he looked at the animal trainer from El with a trace of exhaustion in his voice.
Can not go back……
In the past few months, Mao Xiaohua hoped that his appearance would improve, but after several months, he was completely desperate.
Whenever the moon is full, Mao Xiaohua will still transform. For the first time, he is looking forward to the miracle.
When the moon was full, he turned into a leopard. The white leopard was very happy, and even slipped out of Luo Huan's camp that night, and ran around the leopards' habitat.
But when the sun came out, he turned into the monster with the leopard head and human body again.
It's been that way for months and it never changes.
How would he face the crowd, face those accusations, and even face Galen's roar?
Only at night can he take off his helmet and have the courage to face Luo Huan in the dark.
And as soon as the sun came out, he would put on his helmet and become the favorite who squeezed his ass into the elite guards.
Mao Xiaohua was a little silent. Although Luo Huan tried a lot, he couldn't make him happy as usual. Even on the night of the full moon, the white leopard chose to sit in the tent.
In Er of this season, there are not many moonlit nights. Although today is a full moon night, it is raining lightly and there is no moonlight at all.
And Mao Xiaohua, who had turned into a leopard, didn't dare to go out at all, and didn't want to go out. He sat in Luo Huan's tent, listening to the sound of rain outside in a daze.
"What are you thinking?" Luo Huan returned to the tent after a military meeting, and this was what he saw.
The white leopard was depressed and was in a daze silently.
Mao Xiaohua turned her head. In the whole month, it was the only day when she couldn't speak human words, and her blue eyes looked at Luo Huan greedily.
Luo Huan walked over, kissed Mao Xiaohua's forehead, put his arms around his neck, and sat beside him.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine, I promise!" Despite the difficulties, Luo Huan's voice was still unquestionable.
Mao Xiaohua knew very well what Luo Huan was facing.
In the last battle, because of the commotion of the Leopard Army at the last moment, although it was not a big defeat, it was Luo Huan's first setback since his expedition.
This made the morale of the expeditionary force very low for a period of time.
This depressed mood has continued, especially when the army's advance has been blocked and the long-term attack on the strategic point has not been enough. This mood has accumulated to the end.
At this time, Luo Huan's expeditionary army had been away from home for seven full months. According to the Royce calendar, it was already December, the last month of the year.
In previous years in Royce, it was the time when there was snow and every household was preparing to celebrate the New Year. But now, the torrential rain kept people's hearts restless, and some mournful voices also rose from the army.
And almost all the voices, despite the different reasons for various complaints, ultimately point to the same goal.
That was the leopard army that could have won that time, but suddenly became agitated.
And, the chief culprit who caused the commotion of the Leopard Legion - the white leopard beside King Luo Huan, who had run away without a trace.
Luo Huan obviously also heard these comments. He didn't know if the leopard would care about this opinion, but he knew very well—his leopard cared a lot.He not only has a human body, but also has all kinds of human emotions.
If he can't win the honor again, if he can't wash away the shame of the last failure, then no matter how gently he comforts the other party, he will not be happy.
Luo Huan turned his head, looked at the leopard beside him, and strengthened his thoughts even more.
"Let's go, go out with me!" Luo Huan opened the tent, Mao Xiaohua instinctively wanted to hide, but Luo Huan stopped him.
"Walk by my side, no matter what happens, don't be afraid!" Luo Huan grabbed the leopard's neck hair tightly, "Tell everyone that you never ran away."
Mao Xiaohua licked her nose with difficulty, hesitated for a moment, stretched out her front paws, and walked out.
The ground was full of mud, the paws were quickly stained, and the rain was a bit heavy, but I don't know why, as long as you take the first step, everything after that is not so difficult.
Mao Xiaohua followed Luo Huan, trying to adjust her breathing, recalling when she was in Alanwei, she raised her head as much as possible, raised her tail slightly, and walked out with a steady pace.
"Look! Look!" Soon someone spotted the white leopard beside Luo Huan.
"Isn't that Jon?"
"It came back?"
"We have been missing for so many days, and we have come to a standstill. What are you doing when you come back?!"
"I used to think it was cute, but now I don't feel it at all..."
This kind of discussion reached Mao Xiaohua's ears, making him bow his head unconsciously.
But Luo Huan's quiet voice immediately rang in Mao Xiaohua's ears: "Don't be afraid of other people's opinions, because... those are things that can be easily changed. What you have to believe is your own heart."
Mao Xiaohua stopped and looked up at Luo Huan.
Luo Huan also looked down at the white leopard in the drizzle.
There were already drops of water on the leopard's fur, and there was a hint of confusion in the blue eyes, but more of it was unreserved trust.
At the beginning, when I was crying helplessly in the dark, he was by my side, pulling me out of the boundless darkness, making me face my father's betrayal and assassination, and regain my courage.
But now, if gentle comfort and physical companionship can't make Mao Xiaohua out of that helplessness, Luo Huan doesn't mind, and will use even greater strength to let him have everything again.
"Yes! Jon is back. Not only can he not run, he will also...give us an expeditionary force and win a real victory!"
In the rain, facing the soldiers who were gradually gathering, Luo Huan raised the leopard beside him and said loudly.
Although Luo Huan's white leopard only appeared for one night, what Luo Huan said that night miraculously inspired the hearts of all the soldiers.
For those in the expeditionary force who missed their hometown more and more, a grand gathering to celebrate the New Year, even in a harsh war, must never be omitted.
This is the second year since Luo Huan ascended the throne, and it is also the most important year for the Luna Federation.
Normally, no matter how harsh the battle is, all the states of the Luna Federation will cease fighting on this day. Even if the two armies confront each other, they will stop fighting and temporarily fall into the carnival of the whole people.
Four years ago, Luo Huan, who was studying at the Alan Guard Academy, participated in this national carnival of Luna as the prince of Royce, and won the final victory, which became something that everyone talked about.
Now, the day of the quadrennial carnival is coming again.
Luo Huan's generals were very divided on whether to hold another sports meeting.
In fact, a month ago, they discussed this issue because of this incident.
The people headed by Felger do not agree to hold the sports meeting at this critical moment. The reason is very simple. Governor El of Shahlai is watching the city, and the holding of the sports meeting will definitely cause chaos and attract surprise attacks.
At a time when morale is already low, if something happens to hold such a grand meeting, it will definitely be a complete failure, leading to the failure of the expedition.
The people headed by Llanada and Sid believed that in the season of the four-year grand meeting, the expeditionary army was seriously homesick and their morale was low. Holding a grand meeting of the Luna Federation would help boost morale.As for the enemy's sneak attack, just take precautions carefully.
As for Garel, the little prince from El, it is difficult to understand this custom.
In his opinion, the sports meeting has nothing to do with fighting, but he did not express his opinion.
After all, no matter what, El people would not participate in this kind of activity.
Originally, Luo Huan also leaned towards Filger's opinion, and did not agree to hold the sports meeting at this juncture.
Under such a rainy and rainy situation, the expedition has lasted for nearly a year and suffered successive setbacks, it is best to avoid all kinds of disadvantages that may arise.
Compared to using this method to alleviate the army's homesickness and boost morale, Luo Huan would rather choose another, more secure method.
But that day, when he saw Mao Xiaohua's figure in the rain and heard those voices that made Mao Xiaohua sad, he changed his mind.
That's right, the enemy army will definitely take the opportunity to sneak attack.
There will certainly be confusion.
But this is a good opportunity, a... a good opportunity to help my lover win honor and victory, so that he doesn't have to suffer from people talking behind his back, and let him be happy again!
Whether it is Mao Xiaohua, who is the guard of the king, or Jon the leopard, who is the king's pet, they all need such an opportunity.
When the news that the sports meeting will not be canceled because of the expedition, but will be held as usual, was officially announced, the expedition army fell into a state of crazy cheers in an instant.
Many soldiers threw their helmets and armor into the sky, shouting like crazy.
The rain in the sky is still falling, and some soldiers in the army are still sick, but even those wounded and sick, after hearing the news, couldn't help jumping up from the stretcher, rushing into the rain, facing the gloomy sky Yelled: "Thank God! Finally in this ghost place, I can smell a little bit of my hometown!"
The previous dull anger was swept away, and all the exhaustion from the expedition was also eliminated. The soldiers began to prepare for the sports meeting five days later with great enthusiasm.
Because this time is during the war, the sports meeting will not be as long as it was in Alanwei, it only lasts one day in total.
And this day, because of the war, was not set on the day before the New Year as usual, but in the middle of December, which is the day when the moon is full.
After all, the enemy's fortress was twenty miles away from the army. Luo Huan made many special requirements for the customs of the sports meeting.
Although the athletes participating in the sports meeting are still naked, they must have a partner with their armor and weapons to follow them, so that they can put on the armor in time to fight in case of accidents.
The spies in the army must take turns to investigate around the clock. When encountering an enemy attack, they immediately stop their carnival and go to the battlefield.
People participating in the sports meeting should not stand around and watch randomly like in Alanwei. They must use their own team as a square formation and put on a serious posture. They can go from the sports meeting to the battlefield at any time.
The convening of the wartime sports meeting not only made people very excited, but even the remaining 20 or so leopards were also very excited.
They were exceptionally allowed to participate in the carnival. After being abandoned for more than four months, the leopards were finally able to be with people again.
The sports meeting is expected to be held in the afternoon of the same day, as in Alanwei, first there are various song and dance dramas, and then when it gets dark, the torches are lit, and the competitions begin, and the carnival lasts all night.
"Luo Huan is really so overconfident that he dares to hold a sports meeting at this time?" Governor Shah couldn't believe his ears after hearing the news.
"Yes, Governor!" El's puppet army chief said flatteringly, "I think Luo Huan has no other choice. You know, the morale of Royce's expeditionary army has been terribly low since the last failure."
After hearing this sentence, Governor Shah rubbed his somewhat fat face with satisfaction, and showed a smug smile: "I think so too. Moreover, I heard that Luo Huan stuffed his bed partner into the guards , This behavior also caused dissatisfaction among many people!"
"At such a time, to engage in this kind of carnival, knowing that it is very dangerous, but still doing it, I think he is desperate. I am afraid that if he does not stimulate the soldiers like this, he will not even be able to last this month!"
"Of course, I also heard that behind his expeditionary army, there are many wild leopards. Those wild leopards are waiting for the expeditionary army to die and then share the meat. My lord, this is a good opportunity for us to turn defeat into victory!" A manservant in a flowered shirt took the opportunity to speak to Governor Shah.
"Turning defeat into victory? I have never been defeated!" Governor Shah didn't like that sentence very much. He emphasized that even though he lost most of his land, he still had an advantage.
At least, I don't have to rely on this method to stimulate those slaves who act as soldiers.
"Luo Huan invaded our Er for half a year, even if he swept half of Er, he was exhausted. This time, it is our good opportunity! Send my order, tonight, yes , when those Royce people are most complacent, teach them a hard lesson and tell Luo Huan to go back!" Governor Shah stood up, clenched his hand tightly, and shook it in the air.
At the same moment, Luo Huan looked at the camp of the expeditionary army twenty miles away from the fortress where Governor El was located. Luo Huan looked at him, Mao Xiaohua, who had once again turned into a leopard, squatted down slightly: "Tonight, what you have to do, It is to take back the honor and dignity that belong to you as a man, and you will win everything you should have!"
Sitting in front of Luo Huan, Mao Xiaohua had the urge to find a hole in the ground and get into it. At this time, he was really glad that he had his head covered.
The group of people returned to the camp. Garuner and the other generals were waiting for Luo Huan outside the camp. They were surprised to see him bring a mysterious stranger back.
Especially Garuner, he opened his mouth several times, but closed it several times.
When others did not ask in advance, he knew exactly what he should ask and what he should not ask.

As Lan Manda who had been rejected by Luo Huan and went out with Sid, at this moment, she looked at the lights coming from Luo Huan's camp from afar, and finally gave up completely, and turned her attention to her husband who was hugging her.
And the other person, El's little prince Garuner, pursed his lips slightly and looked at Luo Huan's tent.
That mysterious person... who could it be?Is it the El people, the Royce people, or the Alanwei people?
In Luo Huan's camp, the candles were dimly lit, making the shadows in the tent extremely long.
The cloak covering Mao Xiaohua's head was untied layer by layer, and the blue eyes seemed a little cramped.

"Yes! Jon is back. Not only can he not run, he will also...give us an expeditionary force and win a real victory!"
In the rain, facing the soldiers who were gradually gathering, Luo Huan raised the leopard beside him and said loudly.

After all, no matter what, El people would not participate in this kind of activity.
Originally, Luo Huan also leaned towards Filger's opinion, and did not agree to hold the sports meeting at this juncture.
Under such a rainy and rainy situation, the expedition has lasted for nearly a year and suffered successive setbacks, it is best to avoid all kinds of disadvantages that may arise.
Compared to using this method to alleviate the army's homesickness and boost morale, Luo Huan would rather choose another, more secure method.
But that day, when he saw Mao Xiaohua's figure in the rain and heard those voices that made Mao Xiaohua sad, he changed his mind.
That's right, the enemy army will definitely take the opportunity to sneak attack.
There will certainly be confusion.
But this is a good opportunity, a... a good opportunity to help my lover win honor and victory, so that he doesn't have to suffer from people talking behind his back, and let him be happy again!
Whether it is Mao Xiaohua, who is the guard of the king, or Jon the leopard, who is the king's pet, they all need such an opportunity.
When the news that the sports meeting will not be canceled because of the expedition, but will be held as usual, was officially announced, the expedition army fell into a state of crazy cheers in an instant.
Many soldiers threw their helmets and armor into the sky, shouting like crazy.
The rain in the sky is still falling, and some soldiers in the army are still sick, but even those wounded and sick, after hearing the news, couldn't help jumping up from the stretcher, rushing into the rain, facing the gloomy sky Yelled: "Thank God! Finally in this ghost place, I can smell a little bit of my hometown!"
The previous dull anger was swept away, and all the exhaustion from the expedition was also eliminated. The soldiers began to prepare for the sports meeting five days later with great enthusiasm.
Because this time is during the war, the sports meeting will not be as long as it was in Alanwei, it only lasts one day in total.
And this day, because of the war, was not set on the day before the New Year as usual, but in the middle of December, which is the day when the moon is full.
After all, the enemy's fortress was twenty miles away from the army. Luo Huan made many special requirements for the customs of the sports meeting.
Although the athletes participating in the sports meeting are still naked, they must have a partner with their armor and weapons to follow them, so that they can put on the armor in time to fight in case of accidents.
The spies in the army must take turns to investigate around the clock. When encountering an enemy attack, they immediately stop their carnival and go to the battlefield.
People participating in the sports meeting should not stand around and watch randomly like in Alanwei. They must use their own team as a square formation and put on a serious posture. They can go from the sports meeting to the battlefield at any time.
The convening of the wartime sports meeting not only made people very excited, but even the remaining 20 or so leopards were also very excited.
They were exceptionally allowed to participate in the carnival. After being abandoned for more than four months, the leopards were finally able to be with people again.
The sports meeting is expected to be held in the afternoon of the same day, as in Alanwei, first there are various song and dance dramas, and then when it gets dark, the torches are lit, and the competitions begin, and the carnival lasts all night.
"Luo Huan is really so overconfident that he dares to hold a sports meeting at this time?" Governor Shah couldn't believe his ears after hearing the news.
"Yes, Governor!" El's puppet army chief said flatteringly, "I think Luo Huan has no other choice. You know, the morale of Royce's expeditionary army has been terribly low since the last failure."
After hearing this sentence, Governor Shah rubbed his somewhat fat face with satisfaction, and showed a smug smile: "I think so too. Moreover, I heard that Luo Huan stuffed his bed partner into the guards , This behavior also caused dissatisfaction among many people!"
"At such a time, to engage in this kind of carnival, knowing that it is very dangerous, but still doing it, I think he is desperate. I am afraid that if he does not stimulate the soldiers like this, he will not even be able to last this month!"
"Of course, I also heard that behind his expeditionary army, there are many wild leopards. Those wild leopards are waiting for the expeditionary army to die and then share the meat. My lord, this is a good opportunity for us to turn defeat into victory!" A manservant in a flowered shirt took the opportunity to speak to Governor Shah.
"Turning defeat into victory? I have never been defeated!" Governor Shah didn't like that sentence very much. He emphasized that even though he lost most of his land, he still had an advantage.
At least, I don't have to rely on this method to stimulate those slaves who act as soldiers.
"Luo Huan invaded our Er for half a year, even if he swept half of Er, he was exhausted. This time, it is our good opportunity! Send my order, tonight, yes , when those Royce people are most complacent, teach them a hard lesson and tell Luo Huan to go back!" Governor Shah stood up, clenched his hand tightly, and shook it in the air.
At the same moment, Luo Huan looked at the camp of the expeditionary army twenty miles away from the fortress where Governor El was located. Luo Huan looked at him, Mao Xiaohua, who had once again turned into a leopard, squatted down slightly: "Tonight, what you have to do, It is to take back the honor and dignity that belong to you as a man, and you will win everything you should have!"
