Cub Nursery

The train still stopped where it was, with Taoist soldiers guarding it all around.

Qin Sui is the lieutenant general, and he needs to guard the train every day.

Since entering the palace to receive the reward that day, Qin Sui didn't go anywhere else.

Qin Zhou couldn't help it anymore, knowing that his elder brother was in the capital, how could he not bear to look at it, he didn't come close, but just looked at it from a distance, there were many people like him, they were inconspicuous at all.

That day, Qin Zhou came out for a stroll after finishing his work early again. He looked at the Taoist soldiers guarding outside the train from a distance, and saw them all standing upright, standing motionless. Thinking of his brother doing the same every day, wouldn't he be exhausted every day.

"Hey."

Someone said something, but Qin Zhou didn't take it to heart.

"What about you, wandering around here every day, do you want to do something bad? Be careful and take you to Dali Temple!"

Qin Zhou was startled when he heard about Dali Temple, and hurriedly said: "I didn't intend to do anything bad, I just came here to look around, please don't take me to Dali Temple."

While talking, Qin Zhou looked around, but he didn't find anyone around him. He was startled, thinking he was hallucinating, and was about to run away.

"Why are you running? I'm here. Look down."

Qin Zhoucai heard the voice again, subconsciously lowered his head, and saw a child not much bigger than a slap standing on the ground, holding a bag that looked too big to him in his arms, with round and big eyes, very good-looking .

Rumor has it that Lord Zhongyan's son is only this old, he is Young Master Xiaodan.

Qin Zhou had just been to the capital, but had no chance to meet Young Master Xiaodan. Now when he saw it, he immediately recognized him, "Master Xiaodan?"

"It's me, I see you wandering here every day, what do you want to do?" The baby jumped up by stepping on the wall next to him, stopped at the same height as Qin Zhou, and looked at him.

Since it was Young Master Xiaodan, there was nothing to hide, so Qin Zhoucai said it honestly.

"Your brother is Qin Sui." Baby said bluntly, "You won't see your brother here. There is another way to get to the train, but most people don't know it. If you want to see your brother, come with me..."

Qin Zhou didn't hesitate, and immediately followed the baby.

Leaving this alley, Baobao quickly arrived at another alley, and opened a small door on the wall, and then the eyes suddenly opened up.

A large courtyard, with rows of houses inside, are all Taoist soldiers.

Qin Zhou was dumbfounded.

"This is the base camp. Ordinary people can't get in. I'll take you to find your brother." Bao Bao said, "Qin Sui has made a lot of military achievements this time, but he didn't become a general. Give your parents Yuanlu Ganoderma lucidum to prolong your life."

"Master Xiaodan?" Qin Zhou was taken aback when he heard that.

He has also heard about what Guiyuan Green Ganoderma is, and he knows that it is a good thing that the rich and powerful in the capital covet and cannot get at all, and his brother actually wants to exchange it for military achievements.

The baby leaned against the wall with his hands behind his back, and said old-fashionedly, "Your brother is nice, he's over there, he saw you, let's just wait here."

"Oh." Qin Zhou raised his head and saw Qin Sui walking this way.

Qin Sui came striding forward, first cupped his hands at the baby, and then said to Qin Zhou: "Since it was Young Master Xiaodan who brought you here, follow me to the barracks. I have prepared some things, and you can bring them back to Dad Mother. Yes"

"Go." The baby cupped his hands towards Qin Zhou.

Qin Zhou hurriedly followed.

The barracks were all temporarily remodeled, but they were much better than the big camp in the border town. Qin Sui had his own small room.

"This is the skeleton of the Grasshopper Maniac Demon. You can make anything for your parents." Qin Sui handed over a bundle, "There are also some canned food and money."

"The skeletons of the hopper's plague demon?" Qin Zhoucai suddenly felt that the burden in his hands seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he couldn't even lift it.

"Well, these are scraps given by Lord Yan, they are all good things." Qin Sui said.

Qin Zhoucai shivered again, "Then there are rumors that the cubs of the nursery school have made great achievements in battle, is it true?"

"Of course it's true. Otherwise, why do you think us Dao soldiers are still guarding the trains, and these trains haven't driven back to the seaside?" Qin Sui pointed in the direction of the train outside the window and said, "There are still giant bones in the carriage, all of which It was obtained by the cubs with their military exploits, and there are still some traces on it, so it can be clearly seen which cub killed the hopper mad monster."

Only then did Qin Zhou know that the rumors outside were true.

Baobao likes to take his younger brother for a stroll, and he often meets Qin Zhoucai, so he became acquainted with him.

Qin Zhoucai also learned more about the truth about the siege of the hopper mad monster.

"The smallest hopper madness is as big as a hillside. It has rough skin and thick flesh, so it's hard to beat." The baby said, "Think about it, can we easily kill the small bugs we see on weekdays? In the eyes of demons, we are just little bugs."

Facing such a huge monster, it is not easy to win a big victory.

But the Cubs still prevailed.

"Tomorrow my father will sell the bones, and I will cut a piece for you." Bao Bao pointed to the carriage, "There are a lot of bones inside, you will know when the time comes..."

Qin Zhou just got the baby's instructions, and came early the next day.

The huge carriage was suddenly unloaded in its entirety, exposing the huge bones inside.

Only then did Qin Zhou find the baby, and followed to Yan Xun's side. Being able to look at these huge skeletons at a closer distance, the shock in his heart couldn't be more shocking.

This kind of skeleton doesn't look frightening, and it doesn't feel the cold malice unique to monsters.

Such bones are extremely precious treasures, they can be used for making weapons, building houses, shipbuilding, and even building tombs.

In the past, there were not many skeletons of the hopper mad monster, some were left in the border towns, and some were sent to the palace. Only the wealthy and nobles had the chance to get some, but now all the huge skeletons in the train are on display, and the highest price gets it.

There are still some mottled marks on the huge bones, and it can be easily seen that it was left by the cub.

Some are small paw prints made by the cubs, some are holes left by the entire cub's penetration, and some have a row of clear footprints.

All of these prove the achievements of the cubs.

"Whole bones are worth ten thousand pieces of gold, split up thousands of pieces of gold." Yan Xun said calmly, "The one with the highest price wins."

"There are my footprints on it." The baby pointed to a huge bone and said, "At that time, I only felt that my feet were sinking, and I didn't think so much..."

"I remember penetrating a hopper mad monster. I just remember that it was very difficult, and there were obstacles everywhere. I didn't expect that I could penetrate a bone." The war rabbit cub looked up at the huge bone and said, "The seam There are still traces of my scratching, very clear."

"Thinking about it now, I didn't think it was so dangerous at all."

"Because we have to win."

Cubs, you talk to each other.

At the beginning, there were not many people, but soon, people who got the news from nowhere gathered from all directions, and there was a sea of ​​people around the train in an instant.

"Let them make a price." Yan Xun said lightly.

"My family pays ten thousand gold." Someone shouted.

Bao Bao hurried over to have a look, came back after a while, and said to Yan Xun, "It's the Wei family, his old man is dying, he probably wants to buy one and go back to build the tomb."

"Wei family?" Yan Xun was puzzled.

There are countless wealthy families in the capital, and the Wang family and the Pei family are the leaders. These two families have a good relationship with Yan Xun, and Yan Xun will only know about the rest if there are brothers in the family who play well with Wang Zhener and others. For the rest, Yan Xun is not very clear.

"I heard from the master that the ancestors of the Wei family were imperial merchants and had a good relationship with the Jia family. However, they made mistakes and lost their errands. Now they have nothing to do with their wealth and lost their previous prestige." Bao Bao said, "Master said Wei The family is very cautious and almost never makes mistakes, but this time they are so high-profile to buy bones, but they don't know what it means."

Yan Xun nodded casually, "If you pay more money, let's sell it."

Now that Yan Xun has more than tens of millions of gold, and is a magistrate, he naturally no longer needs to be afraid of those ghosts and monsters.

The Wei family bought a whole skeleton and spent a total of [-] gold.

Later, some people bought small cut bones, and those leftovers were also bought, but Yan Xun didn't sell them, so they put them away casually and gave them to the Taoist soldiers.The baby also took the opportunity to take some and gave them to Qin Zhoucai.

After getting the bones from the baby, Qin Zhou ran home happily, "Father, you haven't seen that many people spend a lot of money just to buy a small piece of bone. I got these, they are all small eggs The young master gave it to you."

"I've heard about it." Old Man Qin said, "The neighbors are talking about it."

"Daqin's victory is a great thing." Aunt Mo muttered, "We haven't fought such a fierce battle in Daqin for many years. In the past, the skeletons of ants marching monsters basically didn't show up. How can we ordinary people see it? Arrived."

"Yeah, Daqin doesn't have to be afraid of the demon country in the future." The old man Qin straightened his waist and said, "Tomorrow I'll make some tofu and buy some fruits for your brother. Your mother even sewed clothes for you to wear. Excellent in armor."

There are thousands of nagging people like Qin Zhoucai's family.

It is better to let the people see the skeletons of monsters with their own eyes and let them spread the word quickly.

In the evening Yan Xun had dinner with the cubs.

Zhou Guang entered the room and said with a smile, "Lord County Marquis."

"Brother Zhou, don't be joking." Yan Xun hurriedly said, "Since you're here, how about eating together?"

"No." Zhou Guang waved his hand and said, "I came here to ask my virtuous brother, have you told the emperor about this? Selling bones is fine, but there is no need for such a big fanfare. Let the people in the capital know about it in just one day. , within ten days, the people of Daqin will know whether this matter is good or bad, have you ever thought about it?"

"Naturally I have thought about it." Yan Xun also said unambiguously, "The Great Qin has been emphasizing civility over military affairs for a long time, and the border towns have suffered injustice, and ordinary people are accustomed to it. If things go on like this, it is not a good thing. The situation in the demon country is unknown, how can the Great Qin take it lightly. The lion needs to fight the rabbit with all his strength, Daqin can't let up in the slightest when facing the demon kingdom."

Seeing that Zhou Guang didn't speak, Yan Xun said again, "The emperor knows about this."

"That's good." Zhou Guang heaved a sigh of relief.

He naturally knows that there are many problems in the current imperial court, but it is not easy to change. Now that Yan Xun, who is unpredictable and very good at strategizing, joins, it is a good thing for Daqin after all. He came to ask Yan Xun, but also I was just worried that Yan Xun would annoy the emperor.

The huge skeletons on the train have been sold out, and the train has returned to the seaside, but the people in the capital always feel that the matter of buying bones for thousands of dollars is still yesterday.

"As expected of Mr. Yan, you have made such great military exploits."

"This County Marquis really lives up to its name. I heard that Master Yan plans to build an umbrella workshop in his own territory, as long as the disabled Taoist soldiers are needed."

"Master Yan is kind."

"Although the military exploits were made by the cubs in the Nursery Hall, it's not bad that the credits are given to Master Yan now. It's to feed back."

"It's the right way to know how to repay your kindness."

Ordinary people can't read big characters, don't know how to govern a country, and can't speak the words of a sage, but they know how to read newspapers with gratitude, and how to nurture and repay them.

Now Yan Xun has become a county lord by virtue of the cubs' military exploits, and he is thinking of taking care of the disabled Taoist soldiers. The word of mouth has quickly become a good story.

When Dao soldiers go to the battlefield, if they make meritorious service, they can climb up step by step, but if they are unfortunately disabled, they can only leave the camp.

With a broken leg, broken arms, crooked mouth and nose, scars all over his body, and because of his full murderous look, he is very different from ordinary people. Even if such a Taoist soldier returns home, he will no longer be able to live the life of an ordinary farmer.

It is even more difficult to maintain a normal life, let alone marry a wife and have children.

These Dao soldiers may be finished for the rest of their lives.

Yan Xun was naturally prepared for such news.

Early in the morning, before the city gate opened, Yan Xun came and waited. As soon as the city gate opened, he was outside the city gate.

Jing Fengye moved the bench and table, put paper and pens and ink on it, and a wooden sign with the words "Recruitment of Disabled Dao Soldiers" stood beside it, and also moved out the charcoal stove, filled the kettle with water, put it on the charcoal stove, and started to boil water.

There were quite a few people waiting to enter the city early in the morning. Seeing Yan Xun and Jing Fengye at this time, and seeing the Taoist soldiers guarding the city being polite to them, they couldn't help being curious.

The literate man read the words on the sign in a low voice, and everyone around him pricked up their ears to hear it.

"Disabled Taoist soldiers are wounded and sick."

"It turns out that the umbrella-making workshop Master Yan said is true."

"I just don't know how the treatment is. I have a relative who is a Taoist soldier who came back from the border town. He is missing a hand and can't find a wife. He drinks all day, and his parents don't care about him..."

The term "remuneration" is still heard from the capital. At first, it was spread by those people in the workshop under Yan Xun's name, saying that every month's wages are paid on time, and they can work for six days and rest for one day. Welfare distribution, these are benefits.

People in the line kept whispering, but no one approached.

Many people looked at their hands covered in mud, and then at Yan Xun, who was sitting on a soft cushion with his chin resting on one hand, looking like a jade man. Dare to approach.

But Jing Fengye, who was squatting beside the charcoal stove, was ignored by others. Occasionally, someone would see the dragon scale marks on his face, and they would always see Jing Fengye fiddle with the charcoal in the charcoal stove with an iron rod in a blink of an eye. The movements are exactly the same as ordinary people, and the trembling feeling will disappear quickly.

On the wide cement road connecting the city gate, a wolfhound sped past, leaving a series of afterimages on the ground.

At the gate of the city, the wolf dog stopped immediately, and only then could it be seen clearly that there was a little man riding on the wolf dog's neck, but it was a little bigger than a palm, with a round face, chubby arms and legs, but very flexible movements.

"Father, my brothers asked me to ask you, what do we have for lunch?" The baby ran over, climbed up the table legs, stood by Yan Xun's hand, raised his head and asked.

"Are the cubs ready?" Yan Xun asked.

Baby nods.

Yan Xun and Jing Fengye were in charge of a city gate, and cubs set up tables and waited at each city gate in the capital.This is the method discussed by Yan Xun and the cubs. On the one hand, it will convince those who are hesitant about the existence of the umbrella workshop, and on the other hand, it is also to spread the news faster.

Let the disabled Taoist soldiers gather in the capital as soon as possible, so that Yan Xun can manage them in a unified manner.

So there was a scene of Yan Xun coming to the gate of the city early in the morning to set up a table.

"Let the mall deliver some food." Yan Xun said.

"Then how about noodle soup?" Bao Bao suggested, "I want to light a fire, and I'll go to the mall and ask Brother Liu to bring some fresh fruit..."

"Okay, Xiaodan, let's arrange it." Yan Xun had no objection.

The baby immediately took out a small notebook from his arms, and scribbled on it, "Father, is brother coming for lunch?"

"No, he can be wherever he likes." Yan Xun said.

The baby nodded, put away the little book, and jumped directly on the wolf dog's back, leaving behind a string of afterimages and quickly ran away.

The people who lined up not far away didn't rush to see the baby when the baby came.

Rumor has it that Baobao was also a member of the nursery school on the battlefield, leading his troops alone to face a hopper mad monster.

That day when thousands of gold bought bones, some people competed for a high price for the bone with the traces of the baby's footprints. The one thousand gold went up to two thousand gold, and finally the Wang family bought it for [-] gold. This incident left a deep impression on many people. .

The ferocity of the hopper mad monster has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Every year when the hopper mad monster attacks the city, the border city will suffer huge losses. Tens of thousands of Taoist soldiers died, houses collapsed, and mourners are everywhere. Every year, the border town has to pay a tragic price to drive out Go hopper mad disaster demon.

With such a small size, how did the baby leave deep and visible bone footprints on the hopper maniac, and how he led his Taoist soldiers to kill the hopper maniac, everyone has different ideas in their hearts.

But everyone agrees that the baby must be extremely powerful.

Don't be confused by the baby's extremely small size, and don't underestimate him because he looks like a shrunken baby. The skeleton of the hopper scourge with the baby's footprints, the battle exploits of killing a hopper scourge, like that The decisive monument of military exploits stands in everyone's heart!

So that people who see the baby will subconsciously feel that the baby is very strong.

There was no one approaching for the whole noon, Yan Xun was not in a hurry, he still sat on the bench steadily, watching the queue next to him change and change.

Qin Liu drove the carriage in person, and brought Yan Xun freshly cooked noodle soup with a steaming fire, and by the way, some food for the Taoist soldiers guarding the city.

"My lord." Qin Liu's eyes were burning, and there was hot blood flowing in his chest. He rarely had the opportunity to see Yan Xun, and at this time he personally came to deliver the soup noodles. When he saw Yan Xun, he couldn't tell the things that he had been tossing and turning for a long time. discourse.

"In the future, you can arrange the store in the shopping mall and open a branch in the border town." Yan Xun said.

"Yes." Qin Liu hurriedly said.

There was no need to say those words in his heart, Qin Liu saluted Yan Xun solemnly, turned and left, everything was kept silent.

Seeing that Qin Liu had disappeared, Jing Fengye squatted aside with the noodle soup, took a sip and said, "Qin Liu already knows."

"If there were no shopping malls and shops in charge, he probably would have known about it long ago." Yan Xun said calmly, "Now that I know, I'm afraid it was intentionally spread from the palace..."

"En." Jing Fengye nodded.

After eating less than half of the noodle soup, Yan Xun gnawed on the fire, and said vaguely, "The mushroom is stuck, you really understand me."

Yan Xun didn't say who knew him, but whether it was the shop that sells fire, Qin Liu, or the cubs, they all knew that he liked to eat fire with mushrooms, and they had told him more than once.

There was an accident in the palace a few months ago, the emperor did not go to court for several days in a row, a group of eunuchs and palace maids were replaced in the palace, and several households outside ransacked their homes.

If Qin Liu didn't have shopping malls to worry about, he would definitely have to squeeze his head to inquire about the affairs of the palace. If he knew that the emperor's life was dying at that time and he could no longer stay in the hotel, he would definitely not miss this opportunity and would stir up trouble.

It's just that there were a lot of things going on in the shopping mall at that time, and there were many meritorious children under him, so he had to take care of them all the time, so that Qin Liu didn't even know about the changes in the palace.

Now that he knew that such a big incident had happened in the palace, Qin Liu broke out in a cold sweat.

If he had made any moves at that time, he might have been dead by now, or he might have become a common man. How could he be in charge of the shop like he is now, with connections to various wealthy families in the capital, and his subordinates are all meritorious children. The family relationship behind them is quite good.

Holding these contacts, even if Qin Liu is not favored, no one dares to underestimate him.

When he learned that it was Yan Xun who saved the emperor, Qin Liu felt grateful again.

If the emperor dies, Qin Yi is narrow-minded and doesn't have much ability, so I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate these full-fledged brothers; Qin Er is self-willed, so naturally he won't let it go; At that time, these princes will inevitably be involved in the turmoil of seizing the heirloom, and it is unknown whether they can save themselves.

The emperor is fine, naturally everything is safe.

Qin Liu is grateful to Yan Xun for his kindness, to Yan Xun for giving him contacts all over the capital, and to Yan Xun for making the world continue to be stable.

Looking at the bustling capital in the carriage, Qin Liu's heart was throbbing. He understood Yan Xun's mind, and couldn't help admiring him. He wanted to be like Yan Xun, with the world in mind, and his eyes no longer limited to the small capital.

The thousand gold skeletons sold were not only the bones of the hopper mad monster, but also the strength of Yan Xun and the strength of the cubs.

They are strong enough, strong enough to be securely attached to.

Qin Liu calmed down, got out of the carriage, and went to the shop in the shopping mall to tell him carefully that he planned to follow Yan Xun to the border town and open a branch shop.

On the second day, Yan Xun came to the gate of the city early as usual, this time he was still holding his brother Dan with him.

Putting Brother Dan's nest on the table, Yan Xun took Brother Dan out of his arms and put it on, yawned, and looked at the line that had already been lined up outside the city.

"There should be someone today." Yan Xun said to himself.

Brother Dan swayed in the nest.

The people who lined up saw the table and the wooden sign at the gate of the city again, and they knew what they saw yesterday, so they told the people around them.
