Cub Nursery

Chapter 225

After drinking the medicine, Yan Xun fell into a sleepless sleep, and when he woke up, he was really in good spirits.

However, it was a serious illness, and Yan Xun still couldn't sleep because he didn't drink soup at night. The clothes he could wear a few days ago were empty when he wore them again.

"It's useless to eat Guiyuan green ganoderma, and your blood is useless." Yan Xun stood in front of the mirror, looked at himself, covered his cheek and said, "Sew me something to cover my face, it's too ugly to sag. Oh no, I have a mask."

Yan Xun finds out the mask Jing Fengye painted for himself and puts it on his face, which just covers the sunken cheeks on both sides, making him look a bit imposing and not so weak.

"Let Mr. Huo take a look when we return to the capital." Jing Fengye took the clothes and helped Yan Xun put them on, and knelt on the ground to help him put on his shoes.

The winter cotton shoes were originally round, but Yan Xun was too thin to hold them up at all, so the cotton shoes were still slender.

"I have a heart disease, and there is no cure for it." Yan Xun said indifferently, "It will get better after a long time, and sooner or later we have to look at it. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death. Okay, let's not talk about this, go and see Qida Xi, I heard that he is very unhappy recently, maybe I will go and see it to relieve the knot."

These few days Yan Xun recuperated, with little success, and Qi Daxi was having a hard time.

Coming to Qidaxi room again, Yan Xun glanced at the shattered table and bench calmly, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, how are you thinking?"

Qi Daxi turned around, looked at the increasingly thinner appearance, and saw that he was wearing a mask to cover it up, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Mountains are not good, but a barren mountain is fine. But Lord Yan needs to bring out food, cloth and salt. There are others."

"No." Yan Xun shook his head resolutely, "One barren mountain is too little."

"Du Meiqi died inexplicably in Qin, so what?" Qi Daxi narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Xun.

Du Meiqi died, Yan Xun didn't hide it from anyone, and naturally he didn't hide it from Qi Daxi, so he knew it well.

Yan Xun also narrowed his eyes, and said: "Your Excellency the Baron, Your Excellency the Envoy should be well aware. If you really want to investigate, what you have done this way cannot be written off. The loss of the people on the way, the moral The loss of the soldiers, the loss of the Great Qin, these add up to a million taels of silver, can your Excellency get it out?"

"You!" Qi Daxi's expression changed.

"What?" Yan Xun took out his umbrella.

"It's nothing." Qi Daxi clenched his paws into fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "That's a barren mountain near Wotu Mountain! Loan it to Daqin for three years, and everything else... is written off."

"Three years is too little, at least 300 years." Yan Xun shook his head.

"Don't push yourself too far!" Qi Daxi couldn't help shouting.

When he first entered the demon country, he had to endure it all the time. Later, Ruan Duanxi took good care of him on the way from the capital to the border town. Qi Daxi thought it was okay to yell at the people on the side of the road. Fall into such a curse.

Now that Du Meiqi has fallen and the other big monsters are under control, he still doesn't know all the methods Yan Xun has in his hands. Even though he knows that the Qin State's soldiers have not improved much, Qi Daxi still dare not act rashly.

The strength of the Yao Kingdom and the strength of the Qin Kingdom are completely different things for Qi Daxi and Yan Xun.

"The Tiger Demon King is very sensible." Yan Xun said suddenly.

Qi Daxi's face was even more ugly, he obviously concealed it very well, but Yan Xun still saw it.

At the beginning, the Tiger Demon King took the initiative to send the cubs as hostages, even on the surface, he wanted to make friends with Daqin. Now, Qi Daxi, as the envoy of the Demon Kingdom, at least cannot make the Demon Kingdom tear up the treaty, so Qi Daxi also He could only bluff and swallow his anger behind his back.

It's just that I didn't expect that even so, it was still caught by Yan Xun's words.

"A barren mountain." Looking at Qi Daxi's increasingly ugly face, Yan Xun said slowly, "The document will be delivered in a quarter of an hour. I wonder if Your Excellency is suitable to return to the Demon Kingdom?"

"Now!" Chidasi roared.

"Okay." Yan Xun responded immediately.

Soldiers were dispatched in the camps of the border towns, and Taoist soldiers assembled on the outer city walls.

The cannon was adjusted, and the huge muzzle was aimed at the demon country. Dao soldiers in battle robes stood on the outer city wall with live ammunition, staring at the direction of the demon country.

Yan Xun accompanied Qi Daxi out, there were already many military households waiting on the side of the road, they looked at Qi Daxi with no fear on their faces, and even many military households showed anger.

On both sides of the concrete road stood five floors of Taoist soldiers, all with their heads held high and their chests held high, looking forward neither humble nor overbearing.

The big demon at the back was covered with a quilt, lying on a stretcher, and was carried by two Taoist soldiers one in front and one behind, and stepped forward steadily.

"They're not afraid of me." Chidasi said thoughtfully.

"That's right, even if you yell at them, they won't be afraid." Yan Xun explained with a smile, "The Taoist soldiers have cultivation skills and can block the malice of your envoy. If you don't believe me, just try."

Chidasi shut up, he's not interested anymore.

"How did your Excellency contact the Tiger Demon King?" Yan Xun asked suddenly.

"The Tiger Demon King has great powers, there is nothing he doesn't know about." Qi Daxi said subconsciously, and after he finished speaking, he realized that Yan Xun was deliberately clichéd, so he glared at Yan Xun fiercely, and asked, "They have always been like this?"

"Of course not." Yan Xun said mysteriously.

Go out through the small door, and the Taoist soldiers put the stretcher on the ground.

Yan Xun took a step back, pointed at the big demon lying on the stretcher, and said, "Get up, it's time to go back. Krusi, Xifeng, I hope we can meet again next time."

Krusi's body trembled, and he immediately jumped up from the stretcher, ran forward without looking back, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The rest of the monsters jumped up and left quickly.

Qi Daxi glanced at Yan Xun strangely, moved his paws, and then caught a glimpse of the Taoist soldiers behind Yan Xun who were staring at him, and finally withdrew his hand, turned and left.

Seeing that these monsters were gone, Yan Xun heaved a sigh of relief.

In fact, the effects of the medicine on these big monsters have long since passed, but they are not used to getting up after lying down for a long time, and the flower tree cubs are induced intentionally or unintentionally, making them think that the effects of the medicine are still on their bodies, and they can't get up. Let Yan Xun's words sound amazing.

This is the skill that Yan Xun taught Huashu cubs: hypnosis.

This is also a method of healing.

On the outer city wall, Yang Qiong picked up the binoculars, looked at the disappearing envoy of the demon country, put down the binoculars slowly, and shouted: "They're all gone!"

"Ouch!"

"what!"

All the Taoist soldiers couldn't help cheering.

This time they used the smallest price, not only did they not give cloth, food and salt to the demon country, they even bought a barren mountain, which they rented for 300 years, and the rent was free.

This is an unprecedented event, and it is the result of Yan Xun's persistence. There are no casualties among these Taoist soldiers, and the military households in the border town have no influence at all. Even if the big monster lives in the border town, they still live the same as before day.

Even Yang Qiong herself was in a daze.

"For many years, Daqin has been weak, and Dao soldiers are generally not high, even the generals are no more than that. The demon country has never faced Daqin..." Yang Qiong couldn't help laughing, "It's different now, it's different .What about the demon country, what about the big monster, not, not yet...cough cough cough..."

Yang Qiong pinched her neck and coughed, her face flushed, and she even rolled on the ground.

He has never been so happy in his heart.

"Master Yan, Yan Xun, Master Yan..." Yang Qiong lay down and looked up at the blue sky, thinking of Yan Xun who made all of this happen and made Daqin finally able to feel proud, thinking of the persistence in the border town for so many years, and finally waiting for the As a result, thinking outside the outer city wall, there is still a barren mountain belonging to Daqin.

Thinking about all of this, he couldn't help touching his beating heart, and couldn't help thinking about Yan Xun.

"Brother." Brother Dan ran forward, catching up with the war rabbit cub who was about to go down the outer city wall, "Daddy really wins the hearts of the people."

"Yes." The war rabbit cub held his head high, put Brother Dan on his shoulders, and jumped down one step at a time, "My lord said that kind-hearted people can always get good rewards, and there are some things that don't need to be deliberate." Planning, some things will always come to fruition. No matter what we do, we must have a clear conscience, no need to deliberately treat someone well, no need to plan anything..."

"Brother, what you said is that if I want Dad to make delicious food, I must say good things, otherwise Dad will always be busy." Brother Dan sat on the shoulder of the war rabbit cub, shaking his short legs and said , "There is no absolute in everything."

"That's true." The war rabbit cub nodded, "My lord likes to hear nice words."

The two little cubs rattled down the outer city wall, ran to wait by the small gate, and saw Yan Xun coming in, they rattled over and followed Yan Xun back.

After the matter was settled, Yan Xun went back to the house, climbed onto the kang and lay down, Yan Xun carefully put the mask aside, still feeling uneasy.

It is still difficult for him to fall asleep, and he needs soup and medicine to help him sleep.

Seeing Jing Fengye coming in with soup, Yan Xun asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"No." Jing Fengye shook his head.

"Hey." Yan Xun couldn't help sighing, "There's no need to investigate, I'm afraid Qi Daxi also intervened, otherwise with Xiaodan's ability, it is impossible to find evidence. Let everyone stop, this time I'm afraid There is really no evidence to be found, and it is better to do something else than to do nothing.”

The kang is covered with soft quilts, which are no longer thick fur inside, but soft and close-fitting cotton cloth, and the inside is filled with soft cotton, which is soft and warm.

Jing Fengye knelt on a thick cotton pad, he opened the cabinet, took out candied fruit and placed it next to Yan Xun, took out a needle and thread, and began to sew clothes.

"We must go to the barren mountain." Yan Xun drank the soup in one breath, and hurriedly took a candied fruit into his mouth, "Let's go back to Beijing in the next few days. The sooner the tiger amulet is sent back, the sooner the emperor can feel at ease. Now, how's the rebuilding work over there?"

"It will take at least two more days." Jing Feng bit off the thread without raising his head at night, and started the needle again, "The Dao soldiers in the capital are too weak, they always like to be lazy, and now they are still sick a lot, but they have used a lot of medicine. The number of people alive is decreasing day by day, and some of them are confused and cry every day."

"Then wait for another two days." Yan Xun got into bed and lay down, watching Jing Fengye kneel beside him and busy with work.

The kang was burning hot, and the bed was very warm. Yan Xun stared at Jing Fengye for a while, then suddenly said, "Master Jing, scratch my back for me, it's a little itchy."

"Okay." Jing Fengye hurriedly put down her needle and thread, and stretched her hand under the quilt.

Yan Xun touched Jing Fengye's hand and grabbed it, he laughed and said, "Stop sewing, let's sleep."

Just after dawn, Taoist soldiers came to shout.

The dilapidated house was covered with hay and the windows were boarded up. It was freezing cold at night and not warm at all.

Fortunately, there were so many people in the room that it was almost crowded, and they could barely survive at night.

Ruan Duanxi shrank in the corner, staring at the Taoist soldier who came in with a pair of dark eyes, he clenched his fists, his teeth itching with hatred.

Because he works slowly and always has to rest, his group is the last to finish every time, and also the last to eat. In winter, those steaming meals will soon become cold. A Taoist soldier who originally came from the capital to help Ruan Duanxi no longer helped him.

"Hurry up, you have to work harder these two days." Brown Pig shouted loudly.

After everyone had gone out, Ruan Duanxi got up slowly, shook off the hay on his body, and walked outside slowly.

His luck was really bad. Some Taoist soldiers were injured, obviously only small wounds, but they were taken away. I heard that they saw a doctor and lived in a special cement house to warm up and recuperate. .Ruan Duanxi could also hurt himself, with large bruises on his arms, he thought he could also recover from his injuries, but the brown pig just gave him a very bitter pill, and his injuries healed the next day.

There were also some Dao soldiers who contracted typhoid fever, went to drink typhoid granules, rested for a few days and then came back.

Ruan Duanxi was shivering from the cold every day, but he never caught typhoid fever.

Now that he was going to work again, he really didn't want to move.

The water in winter is easy to freeze, and it takes a lot of effort to stir it quickly. Ruan Duanxi stirred it two or three times with a shovel, and he was so tired that he was out of breath, and his body broke out in cold sweat.

"Hurry up." The brown pig was also sweating profusely, "The cement building will be capped today, and the windows will be closed tomorrow, and the work will be completed."

"Can I rest after work?" Someone asked.

The brown pig shook his head and said, "I don't know about this for now."

"Hey." Ruan Duanxi sighed heavily, and continued to work, thinking that he might have a chance to rest until noon, when that time...

Ruan Duanxi didn't get a chance to rest for two consecutive days. He felt that he was going to be exhausted. He sweated every day and although he ate a lot, his body still lost weight quickly.

All the Taoist soldiers from the capital were numb. They worked under the leadership of the brown pig and others every day, devoured their meals, fell asleep at night, and got up to work again during the day. They were black and thin He was dark and thin, and there was not much light in his eyes.

"I heard that the envoy of the demon country has returned?" Ruan Duanxi asked the brown pig for news.

When the envoys of the demon country returned, they didn't know about such a big commotion, and Du Meiqi's big commotion. They just worked, worked, and worked day and night. live.

Not only were they like this, but even Brown Pig and the others were working desperately, as if there was a tiger chasing after them.

Ruan Duanxi didn't understand. He once suggested to the brown pig, "There are so many people working, why don't you take the opportunity to rest?"

"What do you want to rest?" Brown Pig said honestly, "This opportunity to work is not easy to come by. If I rest today, I will not have this opportunity tomorrow. There are so many soldiers in the camp in the border town, but they are all staring at them. We have one every day." Canned braised pork, I don’t know how many people covet it.”

The brown pig works fiercely and looks stupid, but he is not stupid at all.

"There is no way to live if you are lazy in the border town." The brown pig said while working, "Don't think about hiding anything from Master Yan, he knows everything. I don't dare to hide it, and I have to work hard. Don’t be afraid if you’re tired, sick or injured, just go to the doctor to get medicine, Master Yan will give you subsidies.”

It's not that I look down on the doctor, there is nothing to worry about at all, but if I cheat and play tricks, I will be replaced by the Taoist soldiers chasing behind.

What he said made Ruan Duanxi speechless.

The windows of the cement building were all installed, and the brown pig took Ruan Duanxi and others downstairs, and then revealed some news, "The envoy of the demon country has left, you should go back to the camp, and you should have a good rest. Follow me to the train station."

"To the train station?" Ruan Duanxi's eyes lit up, and asked, "All the envoys from the Demon Kingdom have left?"

The brown pig glanced at Ruan Duanxi, didn't speak any more, but motioned for him to follow.

When he arrived at the square in front of the train station, Yan Xun had already been waiting. He wore a mask on his face, and the traces of dragon scales were almost exactly the same as Jing Fengye's. It seemed that he had already seen through what he was thinking, that he was really a monster.

In other words, Yan Xun looked more like a monster than the quiet Jing Fengye standing behind him, and compared to the little cubs chatting and laughing with other Taoist soldiers.
