Cub Nursery

The ease of use of the sewing machine is beyond Lu Geer's imagination, but no matter how much he likes it in his heart, it is hard to ask for one. Lu Geer knows that Yan Xun has helped Qin Shishi a lot, and he is very grateful in his heart, so naturally he can't He didn't have the face to ask for anything.

Instead, the cubs got together to discuss in a low voice, some of them pushed Brother Dan out, and whispered in front of Yan Xun alone.

"Sure, you guys go get ready." Yan Xun naturally had no objection.

So the cubs huffed and ran out, all with mysterious faces.

After all, Honglu Temple is not a place to stay for a long time. It seems that there are not many Taoist soldiers on the outside, but in fact most of the Taoist soldiers are secretly.

Brother Lu was about to leave soon, Yan Xun personally sent him out of the door.

At the gate, Brother Lu looked back at Honglu Temple. This is obviously a government office, but Yan Xun treats it like a home. Not only are there all internal organs, there are also kitchens, small workshops, and even a parking shed in the middle. There are many big iron donkeys and small iron donkeys parked inside.

This is a yamen, not like a yamen, but anyone who enters here, whether it is him who came out of the palace, or Qin Shishi, who was born in rich clothes and well-fed food, or this group of extremely talented cubs, It's like going home.

How can there be such a place in the inner courtyard of the harem? Every master will fight against each other when they meet, on the one hand to prevent themselves from being killed, and on the other hand to find opportunities to harm others.

Brother Lu looked at Yan Xun, and then at Jing Fengye who was one step behind, feeling deeply in his heart.

"Here we come." Suddenly, Brother Dan ran out and shouted loudly, "Fortunately he didn't leave."

"All ready?" Seeing Brother Tan's relaxed face, Yan Xun knew that the plans of the cubs must have succeeded.

"Well, brothers are coming soon." Brother Dan hurried out of the way and looked behind.

'Gululu, Gululu. 'The sound of wheels turning.

I don't know where the cubs came out from, they were all disheveled, with smiles on their faces.

Four flexible iron wheels roll easily on the concrete floor. On the top is a whole polished and smooth wooden board. On top of it is a sewing machine. It is different from the one Lu Geer saw. The outside of this sewing machine is covered with gold. piece, shiny and shiny.

The War Rabbit Cubs and Shaking Mountain Cubs followed behind, carrying a huge wooden box with beautiful patterns engraved on the outside and words like 'Give Lu Ge'er'.

On the other side of the wooden box, the pudgy images of the cubs are engraved, with the baby and the egg brother at the end.

The sharp clawed cubs and the long-haired cubs also carried the wooden box, inside which were neatly rolled up threads of various colors, including cotton threads, silk threads, and hemp threads.

In the end, the baby held a wooden box that was extremely large for him. Inside were pieces of fabric, which were not found in shopping malls, but only in workshops in border towns. some fabrics.

"There is also a wooden box hidden inside, which contains special needles and simple and easy-to-change mechanisms." Brother Dan pointed to the big wooden box and said.

"Seeing that you like sewing machines, the cubs secretly discussed and said that they want to assemble a better looking one." Yan Xun laughed, "It just happened to catch up."

Brother Lu likes to sew some things on weekdays. In the past, life was tight and he was reluctant to spend the money on hand. After Qin Shishi left the palace, he not only had errands but also had money on hand, so Brother Lu often sewed some things.

It's just that the masters, big and small, in the palace all think that he is a tailor, and that he is not elegant. Even if they meet Lu Ge'er, they still have high-level eyes and look down on him.

He knew that he came from a low background, had no knowledge, and had always been a low-key person. He never thought that he would have the day when he would be able to sew clothes openly.

"Brother Lu is good-looking, and the clothes he sew are also good-looking." The snake cub said with a flick of its tail, "Our gift in return is a sewing machine, so please don't hold it against Brother Lu."

"I don't look good." Lu Ge'er was a little embarrassed.

He was not that old when Qin Shishi was born, although he is not much older than Yan Xun now, anyone with a discerning eye can tell his age at a glance.

When people are old, they are not as good-looking as when they were young.

"It's just beautiful." Brother Dan also came over and said, "I set up the spare needles for the sewing machine."

The cubs closed the wooden boxes, helped carry the sewing machine into the carriage, and all came over to say goodbye to Lu Geer.

After this farewell, I don't know when I will see him again, and I don't know if it will be the last time in his life when he leaves the palace this time. Looking at these sincere cubs, Lu Ge'er's eyes turned red.

"There will be chances to meet again in the future, so goodbye." Yan Xun said with a smile, "The fourteenth prince should spend more time with your father, it's not easy for him in the palace."

"I saved it." Qin Shishi hurriedly said.

After sending Brother Lu into the carriage, Qin Shishi followed into the carriage without riding a horse.

The father and son came to Honglu Temple regardless of their status, but got closer to Yan Xun and the cubs.

Yan Xun's proposal in the court has been passed, and the capital has also sent people to the yamen in various places to popularize this law.

And the first person who benefited from this law was Huang Shilang.

Huang Shilang was in a daze, sitting on the straw with disheveled hair, muttering words that others could not understand.

The old lady took an ingot of silver and handed it to the jailer, "Is my son going out today?"

The jailer collected the money calmly, with a smile on his face, "It's all right today. A few days ago, many genius doctors from the Tai Hospital came, and Mr. Huo and Doctor Xiao Hua from the Nursery Hall also came and said yes. If you pass the unanimous appraisal, you don’t need to go to jail or be sentenced, that is, those who go out will be locked up at home and cannot come out.”

"Then can he be cured?" Mrs. Huang hurriedly asked.

Hearing this, the jailer glanced at Mrs. Huang, and said with a smile, "Why, Madam still wants him to be sane and come back to jail?"

"No, it's not." Mrs. Huang was taken aback and shook her head quickly.

The old lady glanced at the jailer, handed over another piece of silver, and said softly, "My daughter-in-law can't speak, your lord has a lot, don't mind."

"It's nothing, the little one got what the nobleman said, and I told you two specially." The jailer confiscated the money this time, opened the cell door neatly, and removed the chains from Huang Shilang's body, "That's enough, let's go out It will be fine to ask the officials outside to draw a pledge at that time."

"Son." The old lady looked at the emaciated Huang Shilang with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Huang couldn't help crying even more, she was not stupid, the jailer said it so clearly just now, she understood that if Huang Shilang wanted to survive, he would only be insane for the rest of his life, and he would not be able to cure his illness.

"That's fine, at least I'm still alive." The old lady could see it, and gave Mrs. Huang a hand, "Let's go home."

Huang Shilang was helped up and walked outside in a daze, still muttering.

Outside, Yan Xun and Jing Fengye stood in front of the carriage, watching Huang Shilang get into the Huang family's carriage, and a group of servants followed behind, slowly moving away.

"It's only been a few days, but my hair has turned gray." Yan Xun said softly, "If you harm others, you will end up harming yourself."

"Is he really going to recover from his illness?" Jing Fengye was still a little worried.

"Heart disease needs heart medicine, and the antidote is in my hands. If I don't give the antidote, even if the gods come, he won't wake up." Yan Xun sighed, "I have never been willing to use such vicious methods, and It's not good to be harmonious. But the feeling of almost dying is really uncomfortable, if I let him go, who will let me go?"

Jing Fengye felt uncomfortable when he thought of how he found Yan Xun under the soil on the hillside, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is kind, I spared his life, if he follows the original law, he will be beheaded."

"Beheading is just a scar the size of a bowl, it's too cheap for him." Yan Xun snorted coldly, "I'm not that kind, if people offend me, I will offend them. Otherwise, what would I be? I'm not a saint, Will be angry, sad, and revenge..."

"This is human nature." Jing Fengye lowered his head, looked at Yan Xun's energetic appearance, and slowly relaxed his nervous and sad heart.

Those nightmare-like experiences are all over after all, now that Yan Xun has recovered from his illness, he can get rid of the poison in his body by drinking some decoction for a few more days, and he can live a long life if he slowly recuperates.

In the middle of the night, two war horses entered the city one after another, going to the other side of the river and the palace respectively.

The war horse stood quietly in front of the concrete building, and the Taoist soldiers stepped forward to knock on the door.

After a while, Jing Fengye dressed neatly and opened the door, glanced at Dao Bing and said, "Looking for an adult?"

"Master Jing." Dao Bing cupped his hands, "It is a secret letter from General Yang and General Yang, two letters respectively, from Lord Yan and General Wei."

"Wait a moment." Jing Fengye asked the Taoist soldiers to enter the room to wait, while he himself went into the small room inside.

Yan Xun lay on his back on the kang, his brows were furrowed, and he did not sleep peacefully.

Ever since a serious illness, Yan Xun has not been able to sleep very well at night, he always thinks of those days when he drank rotten soup and chewed grass that pigs ate.He has a high fever, and the breath he exhales is very hot, and there seems to be that kind of brand on his body, which has been haunting him.

Even though the illness was cured, Yan Xun still couldn't help returning to that suffocating state.

"My lord." Jing Fengye called out, seeing that Yan Xun hadn't moved, she leaned over to kiss him.

Thin kiss.

Yan Xun rolled his eyes under his thin eyelids and opened them.

The lips of the two parted, and Yan Xun was completely awake.

There was only one oil lamp lit in the room, and the outside was covered with a slightly opaque glass cover, so the kang was very dark.

"Take off the glass cover." Yan Xun raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, feeling that the effects of the nightmare on his body had disappeared, he slowly got up.

He has always been like this these days at night, and he always has to get up once at night, and every time Jing Fengye wakes up early and kisses him awake.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he could see such a reassuring person, no matter how bad the dream was, Yan Xun's mood would gradually improve.

Jing Fengye climbed up to look, took away the glass cover, and the room became much brighter. He handed warm water to Yan Xun, watched Yan Xun sip the water, and then said: "The Taoist soldiers are here from the border town." , waiting outside, there is a secret letter."

"En." Yan Xun was still slow, his mind cleared up, but he didn't listen to what Jing Fengye said.

He couldn't help thinking in his heart that the monster Jing Fengye was always so perfect, and he liked everything everywhere. After knowing that he couldn't sleep well at night, he woke up early every night. If he had a nightmare , and kissed him awake.

Such a man was probably born to restrain him.

"En?" After drinking the water, Yan Xun was completely awake, remembering what Jing Fengye said just now, "A letter from the border town? Has the Yao Kingdom finally reacted?"

Jing Fengye didn't say anything, took the clothes and came over to help Yan Xun put them on.

Several oil lamps were lit in the small room outside, because Jingfeng would get up at night to get hot water or snacks, handkerchiefs, etc. The oil lamps in the small room outside were the same as the oil lamps on the cement road, and they would be lit all night.

Yan Xun rubbed his face and got off the kang, glanced at the dusty Taoist soldiers, "Shall we go to the beach now?"

"Yes, Master Yan." Dao Bing hurriedly took out the letter to Yan Xun from his arms.

"Go and see if Shanshan is awake. If he is awake, let him escort you. If not, then go outside and gather some people." Yan Xun said, "The seaside is not safe, especially if you come from outside."

"Thank you, my lord." Dao Bing looked grateful.

In the small room next door, the Shaking Mountain cub happened to get up at night, and felt a little hungry, so he took some snacks, ate and drank, and was in good spirits.

After listening to Jing Fengye's words, the Shanshan cub hurriedly put on his battle robe, held his umbrella, and ran over, his eyes shining brightly, "Let's go, I'll ride a horse too."

"Go, be careful on the road." Yan Xun said.

"Understood, my lord." After the Shaking Cub finished speaking, he had already disappeared.

Dao Bing sent two letters, written by Yang Shuning and Yang Qiong, Yan Xun opened them separately, handed one to Jing Fengye, and the two of them read it together.

The letter didn't have much content, and it was only three sentences, but Yan Xun had to pay attention to the news revealed.

No wonder the Taoist soldiers delivering the letter were in such a hurry.

"Tomorrow I'm afraid I'm going to enter the palace, so I guess it will be another tough battle." Yan Xun sighed, "Although Daqin has a strong army, it's not easy to tear up the treaty directly. If you can't fight, don't fight. It's just that Daqin is stronger than before. It's more than 01:30, and I don't need to kneel and linger on my last breath, I'm afraid those people won't be able to see clearly..."

"Go to bed first." Yan Xun rubbed the center of his brows, burned the letter, and got up on the kang.

After not sleeping for long, Zhang Rui had already arrived in the middle of the night.

Yan Xun didn't delay, he just ate something to fill his stomach and got on the carriage.

In the carriage, Zhang Rui said worriedly: "Master Yan, the emperor has been up half the night, so we also glanced at the letter. Is it not good this time?"

"It's not yet time." Yan Xun said calmly, "Nowadays, the strength of the Dao soldiers in the border city has increased greatly, but the demon country doesn't know it. Now it's not bad for the demon country to find out the strength of the border city. It's just..."

"Master Yan is in any difficulty, our family will definitely help." Zhang Rui said hastily.

Yan Xun shook his head lightly, "I'm afraid no one can help me this time."

There was a sudden silence in the carriage.

After entering the palace, more oil lamps were lit in the Imperial Study Room, and the lights were brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Seeing Yan Xun coming in, the emperor said directly: "There is no need to be polite, this is the battle report from the border town, Ai Qing has a look."

Yan Xun had already read the secret letter, but at this moment he took the battle report calmly and glanced at it. The tone should be written by Yang Shuning himself, much more tactful than the secret letter, but the situation is also not optimistic.

"It's Weichen's fault." Yan Xun took the initiative to say, "This matter is still caused by Weichen, this time I will be responsible for it."

"I will let the generals cooperate with Aiqing." The emperor thought for a while.

Yan Xun knelt down, thanking you.

After staying in the palace until the court, Yan Xun walked outside, joined the courtiers who had entered the palace, and slowly entered the hall.

"Everyone dear." The emperor's voice could not be heard, and he was completely different from the anxious expression in the imperial study, "Last night, there was a battle report from the border city, and the envoy of the demon country will bring three big demons to Daqin , with the aim of provoking the teacher!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

Although the generals and Taoist soldiers in the border towns seldom return to the capital, they have done a lot in the past year.

The truth about the siege of the Guiyuan insect bud demon was revealed, the courtiers intercepted the battle report, and the cricket demon was victorious. Any one of them would be a world-shaking event.

But even so, the battle report from the border town would have some clues to leak, but now the courtiers don't know it at all, obviously something big happened, and the people below dare not neglect.

The envoy of the demon kingdom has already come with two monsters, Krusi and West Wind, why is there another envoy of the demon kingdom?

Smart people have instantly thought that Krusi and Xifeng are now being detained in Honglu Temple, surrounded by Taoist soldiers guarding circles outside, and mosquitoes cannot fly in. Smarter people think that Yan Xun is missing and seriously ill. Although he recovered, he still looked like a weak willow supporting the wind.

And the spirits among the spirits have already smelled an unusual smell, and they all stood still.

"Do you have any countermeasures?" The emperor's hands under the sleeves slowly clenched into fists.

Three big monsters.

Just one big monster can turn the border city upside down, and it takes several generals to stop it. Now the demon kingdom is going to send three big monsters at once, not to the border town, but to the capital.

Moreover, no one has ever seen the envoy of the demon country who is coming, so it is not sure whether he is a great demon.

Xifeng who is currently imprisoned in Honglu Temple is a big monster, Krusi is not a big monster, if you add the three big monsters who will come to Daqin, there will be at least four big monsters.

Many people subconsciously looked at Yan Xun.

Although there are quite a few soldiers in the capital, they are all ordinary Taoist soldiers, and there are only a few generals with high levels of cultivation.

The important border town needs a general to sit in the command, and it cannot be transferred at will.

Under Yan Xun's hands, there is a nursery hall, which is full of monsters, but they are all cubs, the only adult monster is Jing Fengye, no one has ever seen him make a move, and Jing Fengye often follows him After Yan Xun died, his daily work was sewing clothes, serving tea and serving Yan Xun.

No one thinks that Jing Fengye is a big monster.

The quiet needle drop in the main hall can be heard.

Shi Yuanshou, who was standing at the back of the line, looked left and right, and seeing no one spoke, he stepped out and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I think that since the Yao Kingdom sent three great demons, it means that they are afraid of Da Qin."

"Pfft." Several people in front couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

A big monster can turn the border city upside down, and that is when there are Taoist soldiers in the border city. There are not so many Taoist soldiers in the capital, and there are countless wealthy nobles and ordinary people in the capital. How to deal with a big monster ?

Let alone three.

"Oh? Does Aiqing have a countermeasure?" the emperor asked.

Shi Yuanshou said neither humble nor overbearing: "I have no countermeasures. I only know that since the demon country is afraid of Daqin, why not take this opportunity to promote our country's prestige?"

"puff."

"laugh."

This time, more people almost laughed out loud, thinking that Shi Yuanshou was not only whimsical, but also a fool.

Daqin won the battle. At the time when the demon kingdom was defeated for the first time, Daqin did not reap the benefits. It was a tragic victory, and countless Taoist soldiers died. Later, the monsters attacked the city and were defeated. That doesn't mean anything .

The Grasshopper Maniac Demon is comparable in strength to the Great Demon, but it is still not as good as the Great Demon.

Soon a civil servant in front stood up and said loudly: "I'm afraid this lord doesn't know the skills of the big monster? Moving mountains and filling the sea, turning clouds and rain, these are all the skills of the big monster. There are ancient books and clouds, and a big monster can do it." Swallow a city, a big monster can destroy a city, a big monster can raze a city to the ground."

This is not false talk, nor is it deceitful, but a true record.

The civil official's simple words were the words of one of the most famous generals in Daqin.

The general said that he had seen such a scene with his own eyes, so he said it.

Someone looked at Yan Xun again.

Finally, a civil official stood up and said: "I feel that there is no need for the demon country to send envoys, but I can ask the demon country what it wants, and stop the big monster outside the city wall outside the border city, so that Daqin can rest easy. "

"Except for the border town, other places can sit back and relax, right? If the big monster attacks the city, the border town will probably be razed to the ground!" the outspoken general couldn't help but shouted.

"It's better than attracting the big monster to the capital. If something happens to the tens of thousands of people in the capital, can you take care of it?" The civil servant refused to budge.

Most of the courtiers who can go to court are in the capital. Even if their hometown is not in the capital, they must have bought a house in the capital. Even relatives and friends are in the capital. If the big monster is really allowed to come to the capital, then everyone will be in danger.

These are not a few gangsters, but an existence that can fill the sea and destroy the city.

"The frontier city has fought against the demon country for a long time. Why can't the big demon stop it now? It's not like there were no big monsters attacking the city in previous years!"

In the past years, when the hoppers attacked the city violently, the border towns often suffered heavy losses, and then the big monsters would fish in troubled waters, make the border towns dark, and even invade other cities.

"You are talking too hard!" The military commander was clumsy, knowing that what the civil servant said was wrong, but he couldn't refute it.

There were more and more people talking on both sides of the civil servants and generals, and almost everyone started arguing, and a few generals rolled up their sleeves and were ready to fight.

These generals are all Dao soldiers. If they really fight, all the civil servants can't beat him together.

"Enough." The emperor shouted loudly.

Everyone was silent immediately.

In this way, nothing was discussed at all, and there was no progress on this matter.

The emperor couldn't help but look gloomy, looking over many courtiers to Yan Xun who was standing behind.

After a long time, the emperor finally said: "Yan Aiqing, you are the Minister of Honglu Temple, do you have any countermeasures for this matter?"

"Your Majesty, I have no countermeasures." Yan Xun lowered his head and said, "The demon country is approaching fiercely. If the three big monsters really attack, Da Qin will only be devastated. It's not as simple as a border town suffering."

"Oh? Is Daqin going to be slaughtered by the demon kingdom?" There was a trace of anger in the emperor's voice.

Daqin won a big victory, made the demon country bow its head and proclaim its vassal, and sent the cubs as hostages. Now, is it because of the mere three big monsters that they compromised and let the demon country slaughter them?

However, there are not a few courtiers who have this kind of thinking. As long as they can avoid the war, it seems that it is not so difficult to accept the softness of the demon country, but the deep meaning behind the softness is probably something that no one is willing to think about, and they dare not think about it. .

"Yes." Yan Xun said with a low eyebrow, "Daqin can only do this now."
