Cub Nursery

This time Qin Qi came to the border town by order, and only brought two servants, one is the eunuch who used to serve him, he has kung fu, and the other is the palace guard bestowed by the emperor, who is a Taoist soldier with cultivation.

At the beginning, he got off the train with Wang Zhener and others, and followed them into the train station very low-key. He lived in a room by himself, and after the two servants were arranged, Yan Xun and the cubs never showed up. .

Wang Zhener and other little brothers jump up and down in the train station every day, or discuss and discuss knowledge, go to see the visiting family members and Taoist soldiers get together, and write several articles when they come back. Every day is enriched. tight.

Qin Qi is the prince, and he studied in the palace, so he naturally has the knowledge of the great Confucianism in the world. When he came back to the border town, the master in the palace didn't ask him to write articles, and he couldn't write casually.

So Qin Qi looked a little lonely, not getting along with his buddies.

"What kind of talk is that? Brother Huan, why hasn't he come to see our Highness!" Zhang Zhuo said angrily.He was brought to the border town by Qin Qi this time, it was His Highness's trust in him, and he naturally expressed it more.

Zhang Zhuo saw Huang Mo, the guard standing at the door, motionless, and a glint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

The emperor gave guards, saying it was protection, but it was surveillance.

Qin Qi's mother's family came from a counselor, and she was the only king of the opposite sex in Daqin.A hundred years ago, the former emperor loved Qin Qi's mother's family to the utmost, but now the emperor has begun to suppress it openly and secretly. Now Qin Qi is very weak.

It is clear that the Seventh Prince was able to write poems at the age of three, write at the age of five, write a poem at the age of seven, and at the age of ten he was able to observe the situation in the palace and get a glimpse of it.

But the emperor didn't give the seventh prince much chance, although they met each other for a long time, they didn't have any father-son relationship.

Back in the border town, Concubine Mei let the Seventh Prince hide his embarrassment, but Zhang Zhuo couldn't swallow it, neither Yan Xun nor Yang Shuning came to pay a formal visit to him, the dignified Seventh Prince.

Even Brother Huan, who was born as a slave, didn't show up, which is really unbearable.

"Your Highness, Brother Huan didn't come, Master Yan didn't come, General Yang..." Zhang Zhuo calculated with his fingers, "Wang Zhener and those people don't call His Highness if they have something to do..."

The majestic seventh prince was left out intentionally or unintentionally by everyone.

"It's okay." Qin Qi said calmly, "Maybe they are all busy, and they will meet when they should meet."

As soon as the voice fell, someone came outside.

Yan Xun led the cubs, Wang Zhen'er and others into the house together.Yan Xun hurriedly saluted and said, "Seventh prince, I have lost my way, and I hope you will forgive me."

"Master Yan, please get up quickly." A gleam flashed in Qin Qi's eyes, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Yan Xun.

"It just so happens that everyone is here today, so I'll take you to the weaving workshop." Yan Xun said with a smile, "Now all the fabrics in the stores in the shopping malls in the capital are produced here. When the time comes, you can see what fabrics you like, and I'll show you what fabrics you like." Get some... There are sewing machines in our border town, so it's easy to sew some clothes..."

Wang Zhen'er waited for the little brother to quickly agree, although he didn't pass Qin Qi, but he didn't give him much face.

Some aristocratic families have been passed down for hundreds of years, and the princes in the palace have changed again and again, but the aristocratic families still stand tall.For the Wang family like Wang Zhen'er and the Pei family like Pei Yu'er, the heirs of the aristocratic family have a very high status, so it is justifiable not to give Qin Qi face at this time.

Yan Xun gave Qin Qi enough face and let him walk in front to accompany him, while the cubs in the back mixed with Wang Zhen'er and others.

Ever since the train went to the border town, Yan Xun has been in the border town almost every day, and the cubs have also followed, and the chances of meeting Wang Zhener have been reduced, so we don't need to talk much when we meet now.

"Brother Liao asked me to send you a letter he wrote." Wang Zhen'er said, "I said I was going to give it to you, but I have been busy with my studies these days, so I didn't have a chance to go to the nursery school."

"Has he entered the Imperial Prison?" The Cub Claw asked hastily.

He and Brother Liao are good friends, and they often meet to discuss knowledge on weekdays.A few days ago, Brother Liao wanted to learn more, and Cub Claw helped him to find Zhou Guang to recommend him.

"The Imperial College has nothing to learn. Brother Liao went to study in Xianping, Song Feiliang and others privately." Wang Zhen'er said, "These adults are very smart."

"That's true." Cub Claw nodded.

Because Liao Geer has a good relationship with them, Song Feiliang, Xianping and others are also happy to sell it, and Liao Geer is really suitable for training, so they teach him in private.

Pei Yu'er next to him lowered his head and talked to the long-haired cub, "I brought you a set of calligraphy and painting, and I will bring it to you later."

"Thank you." The long-haired cub hurriedly thanked, and said, "Come to me later, and I'll sew a cotton puppet for you."

"Are you using a sewing machine?" Pei Yu'er asked hastily.

"En." The long-haired cub nodded vigorously.

"Wow..." Pei Yu'er cheered softly.

These little brothers all know about sewing machines, but all the sewing machines made by the cubs have been sent to the workshop to sew clothes, and there is no surplus to sell, so they can only envy.

The little buddies chatted with the cubs in a low voice, the Seventh Prince walked in the front, accompanied by Yan Xun, they really gained face, but they still couldn't get in.

Qin Qi secretly glanced at Yan Xun several times, he couldn't figure out whether it was Yan Xun's intention or not.

When we arrived at the textile workshop, Brother Huan had already led people to wait outside.

The weather is not so hot now, even the sun at noon is not too harsh, it just dazzles the eyes a bit.

"Seventh prince." Brother Huan led the others to salute without any mistakes.

Qin Qi was a little absent-minded. He found that the textile workshop in front of him was too big, and there was a rumbling sound inside. On the concrete road not far away, a few strong men were pushing carts away, and the carts were full of horses. Pieces of undyed cloth.

After entering the workshop, Yan Xun seldom spoke, just looked at Brother Huan with a smile all the time.

Brother Huan introduced in an unassuming manner, "This is the soaking area, which uses anthracite coal... There is a separate small workshop further ahead. After the silkworm chrysalis are picked off, they have to be processed... We plan to sew silk quilts, which are extremely comfortable to wear in winter. keep warm..."

The workshop is very large, and some places cannot be approached casually, but Brother Huan still said it all.

The silkworm house is solitary, and the people who work in it are all children, and their movements are very light. Basically, they rarely speak, and their movements are very neat.

Qin Qi stood at the door and looked at it for a while, then suddenly said: "They are all children, why don't you let them learn knowledge, but let them work? Life in the border town is so good now, don't these children need to work?"

Everyone present was silent, waiting for Yan Xun to reply.

In wealthy families, children are rarely asked to work, even the children of servants. Even the children of poor families have played with them since childhood.

Moreover, in the No. [-] and No. [-] schools of the Conservation Hall run by Yan Xun, all children are treated equally, and they are rarely asked to work. It has been publicized: Because I don’t know who these children will be appointed as princes and ministers in the future, so they all Treat them equally.

Now that Qin Qi is talking with his mouth, it's a bit subtle.

"Border towns are different." Yan Xun said, "Besides Taoist soldiers here, they are military households. They have been in border towns since they were born, working to fill their stomachs, and even more so to fight against the demon kingdom."

"Children in border towns may not need to learn very well. They just need to know how to fight against the demon kingdom. No matter how good they are at reading, they must be in a safe place to learn. Otherwise, they can only rely on a few words. And how can we deal with ferocious monsters? Some monsters can't understand human words at all, and they will be scared to death when they meet."

"The future paths of these children are different from those of the No. [-] and No. [-] schools in Beijing. I have already arranged it." Yan Xun smiled at Qin Qi and said, "They also need to learn, but they don't need to learn so much. Learning, the most important thing is to learn how to survive in the border town and how to help the border town.”

Qin Qi's face turned very ugly in an instant, his mother's family had counselors, and he himself was very good at strategizing, finding a way for himself in the turbulent undercurrents in the palace, and now he was about to suppress Yan Xun with a few words, but he countered the pressure return.

If these words are spread, it is inevitable that some people will say that the Seventh Prince is ignorant of the sufferings of the world, and even dictates to the border town.

"I'm just talking about these words casually. Let's eat in the big dining hall of the workshop today for a change." Yan Xun said with a smile.

"Yeah, we're just listening, how can we talk nonsense." Wang Zhen'er answered.

Qin Qi's face looked much better, but suddenly he remembered that even so, he still lost face, and his face became ugly again.

Entering the dining hall with a cold face, naturally Qin Qi didn't need to do anything, Zhang Zhuo followed Zhang Luo naturally.

The food in the canteen of the workshop is all big pot dishes, and most of them are bean sprouts, large slices of meat, large slices of cabbage and tofu are boiled hot, the color is not good, but the taste is still delicious, so they are placed in front of Qin Qi.

Yan Xun sat diagonally across from Qin Qi, and said with a smile: "Just after the train arrives, we can still eat fresh cabbage, but after a while, we will only eat bean sprouts and canned fruits."

"Isn't there still wild vegetables?" Wang Zhen'er came over and asked.

"It's okay to eat wild vegetables once or twice. If you eat them every day, no one will like wild vegetables. In the past, Brother Huan's children were all as thin as bean sprouts, and they ate wild vegetables." Yan Xun said , "But today we should have other dishes..."

As soon as the words were finished, a few brothers came over with wooden trays, which were fried for Yan Xun and others alone.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet julienne fruit, and green vegetables that seem to be stir-fried without adding anything, but it tastes very refreshing, obviously it has been worked hard.

These dishes were delicious in color and fragrance, and Qin Qi's face looked much better.

After dinner, Yan Xun led everyone to look at the fields.

When walking back, Qin Qi found a chance to talk to Yan Xun alone: ​​"Master Yan, can I go to the outer city wall to have a look?"

With so many princes in the palace, only Qin Yi and Qin Er had the opportunity to go to the seaside to see the bloodthirsty fish demon. Even Qin San didn't get any relevant errands.But since Qin Qi came to the border town this time, he naturally had to go to the outer city wall to have a look.

It's just that the iron claw hyena monster breeding season is over now, and they won't come to attack the city again, and the demon country will not invade the demon country on a large scale. As long as other monsters don't come, these short days are the safest time for the outer city wall.

Thinking about these things in his mind, Qin Qi had to go to the outer city wall to stand for a while.

"This..." Yan Xun thought for a while and said, "Success."

So Wang Zhen'er and others went back to the train station to rest, and the cubs still went to the outer city wall to study the marching ants, while Yan Xun accompanied Qin Qi alone, slowly going to the outer city wall.

Jing Fengye followed behind Yan Xun, carrying many things in his hands, all of which were used to serve Yan Xun.

When resting on the side of the road, Jing Fengye would take out a folding bench as if by magic, sometimes Yan Xun would sit and rest, sometimes he would stand still, Jing Fengye was not angry.

This waiter is more thoughtful than Zhang Zhuo who has been with Qin Qi for many years and is also an old man in the palace.

Qin Qi couldn't help looking at Jing Fengye a few more times, subconsciously staring at the dragon scale marks on his body, as if he saw a giant dragon soaring into the sky in a trance, and suddenly frightened a clever one, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Your Highness?" Zhang Zhuo sensed something was wrong and hurried over.

Qin Qi waved his hand, "Nothing."

He looked over again, and saw Jing Fengye lowered his head with no temper at all, scooping out rouge in his hand to wipe Yan Xun's hands, how could he have any momentum?

The two of them looked sticky, Jing Fengye was obviously a monster, but he followed Yan Xun like a little daughter-in-law, all he was carrying were Yan Xun's things, he didn't complain at all , but also flattered.

With such a large population in Daqin, Qin Qi has never seen anything like this.

Yan Xun pushed Jing Fengye, who was still sticky and leaned over, not angry at all.

Qin Qi turned his face away and did not look at them.

"My lord, do you really want him to go to the outer city wall?" Jing Fengye approached and asked in a low voice.

Yan Xun nodded and said in a low voice: "Dahei has to let them know sooner or later. I'll let Qin Qi see first. If he is sensible, I will arrange an errand for him. If he doesn't, don't even think about it when you go back. Don't play around." Well, I haven't led them into the camp in the border town yet."

Wang Zhen'er and others said they wanted to go to Daying in the border town, Yan Xun had already delivered a message to Yang Shuning.

It is not so easy for the children of these aristocratic families to go to the camp in the border town. Most of the aristocratic families behind them are civil servants, and the military generals like Yang Shuning are basically not that high. .

Civil servants and military generals have never dealt with it, and they want to avoid suspicion, so this matter is not so fast.

Yan Xun waved his hand and let Jing Fengye do the work by himself.

In fact, Jing Fengye brought so many things, not Yan Xun asked him to bring him, he can go with the situation wherever he goes, and now with a baby in his stomach, Yan Xun's physique is much stronger, not to mention compared with Dao Bing, anyway. Strong and strong.

It’s just that the Huashu cub discussed with other cubs and felt that when Yan Xun gave birth again, his body would definitely be severely injured again. Be prepared.

So Jing Fengye took a lot of things with her no matter where she went, to make sure Yan Xun was comfortable.

The outer city wall is the first line of defense of the Qin Dynasty, and it is the most important place. It has always been the easiest place to make meritorious deeds, and it is also the easiest place to die.Counting the great generals who died in the Qin Dynasty over the years, most of them died on the outer city wall.

The city walls are mottled, and the blood of monsters and Taoist soldiers has already penetrated into the soil. If the weather is humid, you can squeeze out water by grabbing a handful of soil.

The battle reports from the border towns would be sent to the capital quickly, and what Qin Qi could come into contact with was just how many Taoist soldiers died in battle, how many monsters were killed, and how much food and grass they needed.

Only by coming in person can you feel the height and shock of the outer city wall and the fierceness of the guarding soldiers.

The Daoist guarding the city may not be that high in cultivation, but his whole body is full of evil spirits and his eyes are cold. Even facing the Seventh Prince, he is just a step-by-step luggage, and he is not flattering at all.

There are also Taoist guards in the palace, and their cultivation level is higher, but they are different from the Taoist soldiers in the border town.

Dao Bing saw Yan Xun coming and saluted again.

Qin Qi looked over carefully, and found that there was a gleam in the eyes of these Taoist soldiers!

"Seventh Prince, please." Yan Xun said hastily.

Qin Qi came back to his senses, took a deep look at Yan Xun, and climbed up the stone steps first.

Yan Xun, what virtue and how can he make these Taoist soldiers treat him differently, and when he takes a closer look, he must find out the reason.

On the outer city wall, Yang Qiong had already been waiting on it, cupped his hands at Qin Qi and said nothing else.

Yan Xun took the binoculars and looked down, then handed the binoculars to Qin Qi, "Seventh Prince, use the binoculars to look over there, I have raised a monster outside the city wall."

Qin Qi took the binoculars and first looked at the territory of the Yao Kingdom.

There is also a telescope in the palace, which was presented by Yan Xun. Although Qin Qi failed to keep it for himself, he still found a chance to play with it, so he would use it naturally.

In the camera, the territory of Yao Country is barren, with almost no wind.This kind of land can't grow crops, and it can't even compare with the border towns. He absolutely despises it.

After seeing the distance, Qin Qi finally looked at the place Yan Xun pointed out.

There is also an iron cage in the huge glass box, and inside there is a black monster, curled up and lying in the iron cage, its tentacles are shaking slightly, its limbs are slender, it is a completely strange monster.

After staring at it for a while, Qin Qi didn't see why, so he put down the binoculars and asked, "Master Yan, what do you mean?"

What he said meant that he was going to intervene in this matter.

Yan Xun quickly said: "I don't know the use yet, I have to study it carefully. This monster is called Ant Marching Monster. It is powerful and there are many in the territory of Monster Kingdom."

The ant marching demon should still be the first line of defense in the demon country, Yan Xun did not make this guess.

"What's the use of this?" Qin Qi felt that Yan Xun seemed to be crazy.

Yan Xun smiled without saying a word.

"Hmph." Qin Qi lost face and picked up the binoculars to look again.

He wanted to intervene in this matter, but Yan Xun naturally didn't want to, so he put on a posture of not getting involved, Qin Qi was unhappy, so he could only be unhappy.

"My lord." Jing Fengye glanced at his pocket watch and whispered.

Yan Xun understood, said something casually to Qin Qi and went down the city wall.

He will continue to domesticate Dahei.

These days, Dahei vaguely understood that as long as he is obedient, there will be delicious food, and Dahei clearly feels that his body has become stronger and has grown a lot.

The thinner claws are stronger, the stomach stores more and stronger acid, and the teeth are stronger.

Dahei tried to bite the iron cage, and he could easily bite the marks, but he didn't dare to continue to bite.In Dahei's heart, the iron cage is associated with delicious food, and he is not willing to bite the iron cage.

Sensing the movement from the small door, Dahei's tentacles moved, and he quickly stood up.

Dahei vaguely knew that the person who brought him food was very strange, he was not a monster, and he was very fragile, and he had a very strong big monster with him, but the big monster wouldn't give him food, that one was very weak There is food in the hands of the people.

For some reason, Dahei couldn't think of hurting that weak person.

Probably, I thought the braised pork was delicious.

Yan Xun gave Dahei some braised pork, led him out for a walk, and gave him another piece of braised pork after returning to the cage, "Come try to carry weights tomorrow, if you do well, we will have more How delicious."

Dahei shook his tentacles.

Yan Xun touched Dahei's tentacles before he came out.

On the city wall, Qin Yi kept staring down. He didn't quite understand after looking at it for a while.Just leading the monster out for a turn is domestication?No matter how you look at it, it is too simple.

When Yan Xun returned to the city wall, although Qin Qi didn't speak, he showed some expression on his face.

Qin Qishan's calculations are not only about strategizing and finding the most beneficial for him among various forces, but he is also good at using his own ability to influence others.

He had a hard-to-speak expression on his face, if Yan Xun, a small Honglu temple minister, knew his ways, he would have to come over and explain.

However, Yan Xun pretended not to notice, sat on the bench to rest and drank tea leisurely.

There was an undercurrent between the two of them, until they got down the outer city wall, they were calm and secretly confronted.

Back at the train station, Yan Xun finally said, "Send someone to ask General Yang what's going on. If he doesn't agree, then I won't be polite. We don't want to see any secrets, but just go in for a stroll." Just a circle."

Soon some men went to Daying in the border town to report.

Yang Shuning met the man who reported the letter and asked: "What did Lord Yan say, please tell me everything."

The man imitated Yan Xun's tone and repeated it.

Yang Shuning clapped his hands, laughed loudly and said, "Lord Yan still has a lot of ideas. Pass my order, the formation of the battalion will be temporarily changed, and an extra team of Taoist soldiers will be prepared to guard the gate. We just won't let them in."

There are more Taoist soldiers guarding the gate of the camp, and some Taoist soldiers ran out to reunite with their families at the train station. How could this matter be hidden from people?

When Yan Xun heard this, he was furious immediately, and said: "Everyone come with me, if you don't let in, I will go."

"Let's go ride the iron donkey." The Cub Claw quickly jumped up and ran out to ride the little iron donkey with the other cubs.

Wang Zhen'er and the others were a little scared, so they asked Yan Xun, "Master Yan, will we offend General Yang by doing this?"

"What are you afraid of, anyway, my relationship with him can't be worse." Yan Xun said indifferently.

"That's true..." Wang Zhen'er was thoughtful.

At first Yang Shuning snatched the train and drove to the border town, and later Yan Xun chased after him, plus Yang Shuning once snatched Yan Xun's warehouse when he was sitting on the beach, the relationship between the two parties has long been bad.

Yan Xun didn't care, and others didn't dare to say anything, but there was still a little bit of excitement.

Qin Qi also followed, he was going to watch the excitement.

When calculating the general trend of the world, the most important thing is not to intensify the contradictions, otherwise all sides will fight, how can the counselors profit from it?Of course, there are also things that can intensify conflicts, but Qin Qi feels that the situation in front of him is obviously not suitable.

He smiled faintly, waiting to see Yan Xun's joke.

Furious all the way, Yan Xun took the cubs riding on the small iron donkeys, Wang Zhen'er and others to the gate of the camp in the border city. Daying in the border town said: "General Yang, you won't let me in today, I just want to go in."

"Yes, my adults need to save face!" The long-haired cub pretended to be very angry and roared.
