Cub Nursery

"What medicine?" Yan Xun asked.

The water on the charcoal stove was boiling, and it was steaming hot.

Jing Fengye hurriedly took out a crystal clear glass jug, opened the lid, put in several flowers of different colors, poured boiling water in, cleaned it once, and poured boiling water in again.

Those dried, curled up flowers slowly stretch out, the color is still gorgeous, looking through the beautiful glass pot, Ruan Duanxi's eyeballs are about to pop out.

Flowers can be used as tea, and they are so gorgeous.

Yan Xun took out a small glass, poured a cup of tea and put it aside, "Please."

Today's Yan Xun didn't wear a big official robe, only plain clothes, the sleeves couldn't cover his thin white wrists, he held the glass so lightly and deftly, and blew lightly.

There is a faint color of petals in the transparent glass, and the fragrance drifts away with the heat, as if condensing into clouds around Yan Xun, making him look like he is not in the world.

"Master Ruan?" Yan Xun took a sip of tea and looked at Ruan Duanxi.

"Here we come." Ruan Duanxi just woke up from a dream, hurriedly stepped forward and sat down, held up the glass and sniffed it carefully, drank a sip of tea, showing a little intoxicated expression.

"I wonder what kind of medicine Master Ruan wants?" Yan Xun put down his teacup and asked calmly.

The decoction that Yan Xun drank changed again these days, and the lingering fragrance of the medicine finally disappeared. With the addition of tonics, Yan Xun looked a little fatter, with some meat on his face, and finally he was not so Skinny and terrifying.

Now his body is not so ugly in thin clothes, but looks like a fairy.

There is no wind in the courtyard, the sun is just right, and the slight cold is washed away by the charcoal stove brought by Jing Fengye, the scenery here is just right.

Ruan Duanxi couldn't help being a little dazed, he couldn't help looking at Yan Xun, and felt that he was too abrupt, so he turned his head involuntarily, but couldn't help but look.

The indifferent Yan Xun in front of him, he is like the most ordinary ordinary person, those demeanor when he came, and the confidence of someone backing him, seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the most authentic him.

'boom'!

In the corner of the yard, a huge boulder shattered.

"Brother Dan, don't make such a big noise." Yan Xun said loudly.

"Understood." Brother Dan put away the umbrella and ran back to the house.

Ruan Duanxi suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the boulders that were separated and disintegrated in the corner, and sweat broke out on his forehead again.The charm that he imagined dissipated in an instant, and when he looked at Yan Xun again, he felt a little bit of chilly fear in his bones.

This Mr. Yan is the one who is being targeted by the whole capital, but even so, he still sits there in a good manner.

Then he, the little minister of Honglu Temple, is just an errand runner, so how can he be compared with Yan Xun?

His mind became much clearer, Ruan Duanxi suppressed a little fear in his heart and said: "Several adults want Lord Yan to take out the ammunition prescription, and let the craftsmen imitate some bullets, and send the envoys of the demon country away."

"Huh?" Yan Xun looked up at Ruan Duanxi.

Invisible pressure hit his face, Ruan Duanxi seemed to feel that what he was facing was not Yan Xun, but Qi Daxi, he quickly changed his words: "If Fang Zi can't do it, bullets are also fine. As long as, as long as five hundred rounds..."

"Five hundred shots." Yan Xun pondered.

Today's most common [-] rounds of ammunition is not impossible for Yan Xun.

This kind of bullet uses the least bloodthirsty fish demon tooth powder, and there are other additions, not only gunpowder, but Yan Xun once suggested that the cubs use it to test the power of the bullet. Because the cost of materials is the lowest, it is used Yan Xun chose this bullet, which is the most bullet in the warehouse now.

It's just that Qi Daxi only needs [-] rounds, but Ruan Duanxi or the people behind him need [-] rounds.

"A compromise, 250 rounds." Yan Xun said casually, "Master Jing, you take him to collect the bullets."

"Okay." Jing Fengye hurriedly stood up, looked at Ruan Duanxi coldly, "Come with me."

Ruan Duanxi stood up quickly, trotting behind.

When he was in the yard, he didn't feel anything yet. This Mr. Jing did the work like a servant, always lowered his head dullly, so that Ruan Duanxi didn't pay attention to him at all, and only saw Yan Xun who was calm and breezy. However, at the moment when he stepped out of the yard, Ruan Duanxi suddenly trembled, and the familiar feeling of fear came back.

He lowered his head involuntarily, and saw the traces of dragon scales on Jing Fengye's hands exposed outside his sleeves flashing past as if shining.

"Ah!" Ruan Duanxi retreated involuntarily. At that moment, he seemed to see an extremely ferocious beast roaring at him.

"Follow." Jing Fengye said coldly.

Without Yan Xun by his side, he is just a monster.

The dragon scale traces on his body could have deterred human beings, but he has always restrained himself. When he first came to Daqin, he was suppressed by the generals and Taoist soldiers. Later, when he stayed with Yan Xun, he restrained himself even more. He only hoped that no one would pay attention. When it came to him, he didn't want to have any influence on Yan Xun.

But once he left Yan Xun's side, his suppressed instinct rushed out.

"I'm just an ordinary monster, not a big one." Jing Fengye said in a deep voice, "If you show any signs of fear again, I'll kill you!"

"No, no!" Ruan Duanxi was almost scared to pee, but he didn't dare to back up any more, and barely kept up.

Jing Fengye carried a box heavy with bullets and put it in front of Ruan Duanxi, "Let's go."

Ruan Duanxi reluctantly picked up the box, arched his back, and followed behind with grinning teeth.

The Northern Qi Mansion is full of small roads paved with cement, or paved with stone slabs, and the gaps are filled with cement.The surroundings are extremely simple, and occasionally you can see a hurry-looking catcher, but you can't see the cubs.

While thinking about it in his heart, Ruan Duanxi unknowingly followed to the gate.

"Let's go." Jing Fengye said.

Ruan Duanxi was taken aback for a moment, he still wanted to see Yan Xun again and say a few words.

However, he had already reached the gate, and he wanted to say a few words to Jing Fengye, but he could always see the dragon scale marks on his body, so he couldn't speak at all.

Helpless, Ruan Duanxi had no choice but to walk out of the gate slowly holding the wooden box.

Jing Fengye stood at the door all the time, watching Ruan Duanxi being surrounded by the people who met him, and leaving quickly, then came back to look for Yan Xun.

The original desolate courtyard has long been empty. In the courtyard not far away, many exotic flowers and plants have been planted. There is also a glass house planted with many vegetables. The glass windows of the house have already been replaced. dragon.

Yan Xun took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, Brother Dan was running around on Yan Xun's lap, and the cubs were squatting on the kang, busy with their own affairs.

The ground dragon was burning below, and a few police officers were sitting lazily against the wall, drinking tea and eating snacks.

"I'm back." Yan Xun waved at Jing Fengye, "Come here to be warm."

"I'm not cold." Jing Fengye really didn't feel cold, he took off his cloak, rubbed his hands to warm them up, and then went to the kang.

Yan Xun immediately rolled to Jing Fengye's side and asked, "Did Ruan Duanxi say anything?"

"I didn't say anything." Jing Fengye said hurriedly.

"Then let's just wait." Yan Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the cubs, "We don't have many days to live comfortably, take advantage of these few days, hurry up to eat, drink, and have fun."

After getting two hundred bullets, Qi Daxi was in a good mood. In order to get the gun as soon as possible, he finally let go: go back to the demon country.

Krusi and West Wind, who had been imprisoned for a long time, were released, and they will return to the Demon Kingdom with the envoy of the Demon Kingdom, Qi Daxi.

Qin Sui thumped the table fiercely, "Even if the envoys from the demon kingdom go back, how could Cruxi and Xifeng just let them go! They, they..."

"General Qin, don't be impatient, this matter is not that simple." Wei Shoucheng had already received the news from Shashan Cub, and he was quite calm at this time, "Now the court and the government are all in one mind, and they all want to send away the envoy of the demon country as soon as possible. Food, salt, and cloth were all given, and guns were also given, and many people helped Krusi and West Wind to speak, so they must be let go at this time."

"But Krusi and Xifeng almost..." Qin Suike still remembers that Yan Xun was taken away, the cubs stopped Krusi and Xifeng, and managed to catch these two monsters, but now they are about to be released, which made him How can I bear it.

Originally everything was good, Qi Daxi didn't dare to be arrogant, even if the big monster entered the Great Qin, he still had to follow the laws of the Great Qin, what an exciting and good thing, but now it has become a civil and military official begging the demon country The envoy left.

Not only Qin Sui couldn't bear this kind of aggrieved, this inexplicable short head, but many Taoists couldn't bear it either.

"Lord Yan has his own arrangements." Wei Shoucheng was inconvenient to reveal too much, so he nodded, "General Qin, be patient for now, and when the envoy of the demon country leaves, you will naturally know the ins and outs of everything. Things are not as simple as you think , Master Yan and the envoys of the demon country...the confrontation has never ended."

The meeting again and again, the temptation again and again, even Jing Fengye's personal testing, and the flower tree cub's personal testing, were all to get more information.

Now that Yan Xun is dormant, it is just to cooperate with the emperor.

Seeing that Qin Sui still looked resentful, Wei Shoucheng said more, "Master Yan has a secret decree from the emperor, and now he is still an imperial envoy, so you can rest assured, Lord Yan has never been the kind to be slaughtered by others, he has already done so. Good layout."

"Really?" Qin Sui's eyes lit up.

Now all the courts are targeting Yan Xun, and even impeaching Yan Xun has become a daily routine for the censor. Although the emperor did not condemn Yan Xun, he did not stop the officials either.

Wei Shoucheng nodded, "Of course it is true. You don't understand these things, so I will say one more thing. This confrontation is between Master Yan and all courtiers, including the emperor. The emperor does not want Master Yan to be powerful, and wants the courtiers to contend against Him, the emperor's art is so complicated, and the holy will is even more difficult to fathom, you just need to remember one thing: Lord Yan has the world in mind, and now in court, no one can match it."

"The final general will remember!" Qin Sui cupped his hands and said.

He remembered what Yan Xun said to him. At that time, Yan Xun said that he didn't know many things, but now it seems that it is true. The situation in the middle is still unclear and cannot be controlled.

And how Yan Xun saw through, how to control the situation, and even made the emperor change his mind, he couldn't figure it out even if he tried his best.

It's just that my heart is more determined: I must follow Master Yan, at least I must not betray him, Master Yan has the charm to let him go through fire and water.

The envoy of the Demon Kingdom is about to leave Daqin, but Lord Yan, the Minister of Honghe Temple, is still recuperating from illness and does not show up, so all matters will be handed over to Ruan Duanxi, the young minister of Honghe Temple.

"What's so difficult about this, everything has traces to follow." Ruan Duanxi felt elated for a moment, "The streets in the capital are cleaned up, and quotas are marked on both sides of the cement road. My lord's Taoist soldiers followed the imperial envoy to rest, and the Taoist soldiers from the capital's camp escorted the envoys of the demon kingdom, so that everyone will be happy?"

"There are imperial envoys who have opened up this road, and there are traces to follow." Ruan Duanxi said with an abacus, "The positions on both sides of the road are marked out, divided into three, six, and nine grades, and the highest bidder gets it."

Ruan Duanxi changed suddenly and became a sweet pastry. I don't know how many people want to curry favor with him and make profits from it.

The network of civil and official relations was quickly spread out, and the quotas on both sides of the road were divided in detail, and the prices were clearly marked.

Zhao Feiteng transformed himself and brought a thousand soldiers from the capital camp. He became a commander, rode majestically on a horse, came to the river, and said to Du Meiqi: "My lord baron, please go on the road."

"En?" Du Meiqi raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhao Feiteng, and asked with some doubts, "Where is Master Yan?"

"Master Yan is ill and is recovering from his injuries. I will escort the Lord Baron to this general." Zhao Feiteng said triumphantly.

Du Meiqi was silent, and then slowly stood up, exhaling an incomparably huge amount of air from his mouth.

The river began to roll.

The river, which had been calm for many years, set off turbulent waves, and the waves rushed to the shore, shaking the world.

"What, what's going on?" The horse under his crotch retreated anxiously, Zhao Feiteng looked panicked, and after seeing the huge waves in the river, his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Nothing." Du Meiqi took a breath and let out a rumbling sound. Instead of looking at Zhao Feiteng, he slowly raised his extremely thick claws and slowly left the river bank.

Qi Daxi had already walked out of Honglu Temple, he didn't even look at Cruxi and Xifeng, but looked at the big demon who had been recuperating these days.

The cement road was crowded with people outside.

Ruan Duanxi was wearing official robes, together with a group of pale-faced civil servants, waiting for Du Meiqi to come with some torment.

"Master Ruan, why are these people different from what I saw last time?" Qi Daxi pointed to the people wearing silk and satin by the roadside, surrounded by a group of servants and asked, "They seem to be afraid of me, but also very excited , Is it possible that everyone is sick?"

After spending countless gold and silver, the person who finally won the important position led a group of servants, looking at Qi Daxi with excitement and fear.

The last time the big demon came to Beijing, the places were limited, and they couldn't buy it with money. I don't know how many people complained. Those who didn't have the chance to see it could only go to the second school of the Conservation Hall to see the pictures drawn by the students.

The picture of envoys from the demon country entering Beijing was jointly painted by students from the Second School, and Song Feiliang drew the demeanor of the students' paintings. At the end, there is an inscription by Cao San and a comment from Zhou Guangzhou: Ju Shi His talent is a masterpiece through the ages.

But everyone who sees the painting is full of longing, if they can see the big monster with their own eyes, if they can also enter such a painting, how great would it be?

Now those who resorted to tricks finally got their long-awaited quota, but they did not have the expressions of the people in the paintings.

The big monster's gaze swept over, mixed with boundless malice and terror, even the Taoist soldiers standing in front trembled, their legs swaying uncontrollably, how could ordinary people with no cultivation level behind them not be afraid?

"Is that painting fake?" Someone murmured, "The big monster is too scary, I want to leave."

"No!" Dao soldiers also appeared from behind and surrounded them.

"Ah..." Someone accidentally met Qi Daxi's eyes, rolled his eyes instantly, and passed out.

Qi Daxi smiled and looked at Ruan Duanxi, "They seem to be very scared. It seems that the people of Daqin are nothing more than that, and they are still very afraid of monsters."

"Of course not." Ruan Duanxi's forehead began to sweat.

Du Meiqi approached with heavy steps, glanced at Qi Daxi, and squatted aside silently.

Facing such a huge monster, Ruan Duanxi's legs were trembling, he braced himself and said, "Let's go!"

The Taoist soldiers in front opened the way, and Ruan Duanxi climbed on the horse and followed slowly.

Qi Daxi got on his horse, looked at Ruan Duanxi with great interest, and chased after him: "Master Ruan, are you sick? Why are you sweating so much? Last time, Lord Yan was with me, so he is not like this."

"No, no." Ruan Duanxi insisted.

Qi Daxi stopped talking, but glanced at the messy people on the side of the road, opened his mouth to them, showing sharp sawtooth, and roared silently.

Almost everyone on the side of the road, including Dao Bing, fell into a nightmare instantly. Many people rolled their eyes and passed out.

In an instant, everyone fell down, including the Taoist soldiers of the capital camp.

"What's the matter?" Qi Daxi pointed to the side of the road, and laughed loudly, "Could it be that I was scared? Impossible, I did the same thing last time, didn't they say that I look good? ?”

In Qi Daxi's eyes, he can only distinguish Yan Xun from the others, and the others all look the same, about the same height, short, fat, and thin, even Taoist soldiers, they are all low-level, and they don't look like anything Just different people.

Now a group of people have changed by the side of the road, but Qi Daxi can't see it at all.

Ruan Duanxi didn't dare to speak anymore, he glanced at the side of the road out of the corner of his eye, and saw many Taoist soldiers fell to the ground, as if they were daydreams, the creepy feeling in his heart was more real.

This is the power of the big demon.

I don't know how many times this will happen along the way. Thinking of the money he has received, Ruan Duanxi's forehead sweats even more.

Obviously Yan Xun didn't have any problems when he led the big monster into the city, why did he become like this now?

Accompanied by the fallen people by the side of the road, the envoy of the demon country finally left the city.

When they got outside, Qi Daxi said, "Is it time to hurry?"

"Yes." Ruan Duanxi said in rough clothes. He was not used to riding a horse at all. He originally prepared a sedan chair, but other people also wanted to take a sedan chair. I can only give up.

Ruan Duanxi couldn't bear to go out of the city on horseback now, and he had to go all the way to the border town, and his forehead was sweating even more.

"Master Ruan, why don't I rest?" Xie Qianshu rushed up from behind and said, "Everyone is tired."

Xie Ranshu is still leading the [-] Taoist soldiers of the capital camp to rest, I am afraid that there is no use for them, but the Xie family still has Xie Qianshu, and this time they will come out together. A great achievement.

"Ten miles out of the city before resting." Ruan Duanxi gritted his teeth, he did not forget Lu Chaoyang's advice: make sure the envoys of the demon country leave the capital as soon as possible.
