Cub Nursery

Chapter 712

"Why me?" After repeatedly confirming that Gray Deer would always be by his side, he finally digested a little bit of the news from the shock, but soon had new doubts.

He is just an inconspicuous little person who doesn't even have a name. Why is the reconciliation between Yao Kingdom and Daqin directly involved in him?

"Probably because you are the end of the dark thread?" Gray Deer thought for a while and decided not to hide it from him anymore.

"Dark thread? What?" It sounded like he was talking about it, but he didn't know it at all.

Huilu spoke very lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing anything, he mentioned the existence of the dark thread, and even mentioned Qiyuan County and Xiasha County.

This startled him, "Daqin not only has the outer city walls, but also Shimen? Qiyuan County, I really haven't heard much about it. I only know that Mr. Jia has made great contributions. Xiasha County? I haven't even heard of it." , I don’t know the existence of this city at all. It’s the first time I’ve come back to the border city since I grew up, and I haven’t even seen a monster before.”

He was so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary. He was mediocre in appearance and mediocre in talent. He only passed the examination when he was in his 20s, and he barely became a petty official in the yamen.

With a position like his, he is always busy in the yamen, and he only knows that there are monster cubs in Honglu Temple, and they have come out to do many earth-shattering events, but he has only heard of it, and has never heard of it. No chance to get involved.

As for the changes in the court, he is not high enough, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to observe in the yamen.

In a daze, he suddenly realized, how did such a small self get to the border town, and even successfully entered the ranks of court officials, got the chance to face the big monster, and got the chance to be famous in history?

"It's a dark line." Gray Deer said.

He still didn't know what the so-called dark line was, but he finally realized that it wasn't because he was lucky that he followed to the border town. How could he think he was lucky then?

There are too many mediocre officials like him in the yamen. They are not popular, and there is no unified salary from the court. There are only some grain subsidies given by the yamen in private. Yes, although the food subsidy is meager, it is enough for him to support his family.

And he stood out from the many petty officials who were obliterated by the crowd, not because he was so clever, but because the Shangguan chose him.

"It's Shangguan?" He seemed to have come to his senses.

"No." Huilu explained softly, "There are many little officials like you who were chosen to follow the border town. Originally, you didn't need to face the big monster directly, but if there is an accident on the way to the court, or in the If there is an accident in the border town, then you need to step up."

It was under such circumstances that he took the top position, but he didn't know which court official he took.

"It's Lord Yan. Honglu Temple Qing, Lord Yan. Director of the Salt Department, County Marquis, Lord Yan." Huilu couldn't help laughing as he spoke, "Actually, you didn't have this opportunity, Lord Yan... usually Nothing will happen, but this seat is specially vacated by him."

"Why?" He had only heard about the existence of Yan Xun, and had no chance to meet such a big man.

"Because adults want to give you a chance." The baby came in from the outside.

Gray Deer hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands, his eyes sparkled, "Master Xiaodan."

"Grey Deer." Bao Bao also hurriedly cupped his hands, then turned his head and said to him inconspicuously, "Actually, we have collected a lot of lists, and you should be able to guess that this grand event is far less peaceful than it seems on the surface. Almost everyone They're all fighting."

Although the room is small, it has all the internal organs.

There was steaming hot tea on the table, and the bench was not an ordinary one, but one with a backrest and soft cushions. Delicious snacks were placed next to the tea.

Gray Deer poured a cup of tea for the baby, poured another cup for him, and finally gave it to himself.

"Drink some tea and relax, don't be nervous." The baby jumped on the mat and sat cross-legged, holding the teacup and taking a sip of the hot tea naturally, "There are so many people on the list, almost everyone doesn't know their other layer Identity, we have discussed it, if possible, we will not break through this layer of window paper."

"But in fact, everything in the border town is well arranged. Don't look at many generals in the border town camp who don't get along with my dad, but nine out of nine of the Taoist soldiers below have a good relationship with my dad. Plus Huan Brothers, them, and Mr. Du, the city here is actually like an iron wall."

"My father said that this is definitely not possible. Too perfect is sometimes flawed, but this matter is too big. My father felt that it would not be good for anyone to have an accident, so he voluntarily quit."

"Father said that it doesn't matter what the people who come here are thinking behind their backs, and what mission they come with. Everyone will have the opportunity to meet the great demon of the demon country and participate in this matter."

So he became the lucky one, directly replaced Yan Xun's position, and sat on the round table of negotiations between Yao Kingdom and Daqin.

But he was unlucky, he couldn't hold back his laughter just at the beginning, and then became the target of public criticism.

As if he knew what he was thinking, the baby said calmly, "I also secretly laughed. The demon country doesn't understand the etiquette of our Daqin, so he insists on following suit. The whole thing imitates, and if you don't smile, it's really a matter of patience. But Just now my father arranged for them to take a temporary rest, many people used the excuse to clean the room, but they just couldn't help laughing."

He was immediately comforted.

"Don't think too much, in fact, everyone is the same." After the baby said this, he hurried away.

Gray Deer also said, "I'll go to the darkroom first, and you can follow the steps."

He nodded slightly, feeling that he was not so flustered anymore, and it took him a while to realize how lucky he was.

He took the place that Yan Xun had voluntarily given up, and after he became the target of public criticism, first a gray deer came to talk to him, and then the baby came again.

He knew how busy the cubs were, and the baby definitely didn't come here to rest specially, so there was only one possibility, it was just to comfort him.

After he figured it out, he didn't know what to say, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, which made him become very strong in a trance, as if he could face the big monster at this time without changing his face .

"Master Yan found the lower officials and said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, so he specially gave some people room to play." The person who was called back by Qin Liu said softly, "Master Yan said that the negotiation is going smoothly. It is not normal, and we must come up with something within the control range, so that we can further establish our prestige."

Qiu Bao's complexion suddenly became extremely ugly, as if he had become the person Yan Xun was eyeing to use to stand out.

"Is it starting now?" Qin Liu didn't change his face, he even called the little father-in-law outside to bring a small charcoal stove.

The little father-in-law is also a talent, and he brought a small casserole, brought fresh noodles, and cooked the noodles like this. Not only that, he also opened the can and poured marinade on the noodles.

The noodles are very firm, the soup is very thick and the aroma is very special.

The people in the big tent couldn't help sniffling, looking at Qin Liu without any trace.

Qin Liu acted as if he hadn't seen anything, picked up the noodles and ate them, and said, "Continue talking."

"It seemed like something happened when the next official came." That's all he knew.

"You go back and replace it." Qin Liu waved his hand.

It didn't take long, Qin Liu ate his noodles, took a rest on the low couch, and then someone came again.

Qin Liu got up quickly and asked him to continue talking.

Qiu Bao couldn't care less about being angry, he was concerned about this matter.

In fact, not long after Gray Deer hid, someone pretended to pass by the door. After a while, someone looked into the room and saw that the people inside did not respond. After a while, someone came in directly.

It's not without disguise, holding a broom and dustpan, pretending to sweep the floor.

"Cooperate with us."

"Why?" He was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and he didn't dare to look at the place where Gray Deer was hiding, so his body tensed up, ready to run away from the door at any moment.

"Don't think about going out. What time is it now, how many pairs of eyes are staring outside, you have already lost the face of Daqin, even if you seem to be safe and sound now, but when the things outside are over, do you think those in the court will let you go?"

He thought for a while, and he still took it seriously, provided that the gray deer and the baby didn't show up.

"Now I'm giving you a chance to redeem your crimes. When the time comes, you will not only be innocent, but you will also be able to make meritorious deeds."

"What chance?" He was moved in an instant, but his mind was very clear.

He clearly knew that he hadn't made any mistakes, at least in Lord Yan's eyes, and he was taking the place of Lord Yan, and it was Lord Yan who was going to punish and convict him. Could it be possible that any irrelevant person could come?

In a trance, he remembered the dark thread of Huilu again, and he vaguely understood what he was going to do.

"Some of the officials in the court agreed that the more benefits of exchanging the land are just to build the outer city wall and enclose the big monster of the demon country. It's just that no one speaks, so it's hard for them to bring it up. You think of a way to go back there... ...I'm not asking you to think up your own ideas, you should do this first..."

Startled, he gritted his teeth and refused.

"Daqin has a lot of wasteland. How can we use it all up? It's useless to guard it all the time. It's better to use the waste and divide it into the demon country. Besides, once the demon country and Daqin reconcile, what will the Taoist soldiers in the border town do? They After all, there must be a place to go, just to tell them to move to guard the monsters in the demon country."

It is clearly a reconciliation, but the word "caretaker" is used.

He put on an expression filled with righteous indignation, and echoed: "We can obviously get more benefits in exchange, why don't they agree!"

After the first sentence is spoken, it will be much smoother later.

"take action now."

The person who came was carrying the broom and dustpan that were still clean, turned around and went out thinking that he was very inconspicuous.

Someone was walking up and down the door, apparently watching him.

He couldn't find the gray deer, and he couldn't even look in the direction where the gray deer was hiding.

But at this time, the gray deer had already left through another entrance and exit. After a while, a small door half the size of a palm opened in the dark room. It was in the corner, quietly and very small, no one noticed at all.

But he noticed it, because the little guy who came out of the small door ran all the way, directly in front of him.

"I'm Xiao Hei." Xiao Hei cupped his hands, "I will hide on your body, and don't worry, no one can hurt you."

"It's Master Hei." He was excited.
