Cub Nursery

Chapter 342

The cold wind whizzed past, blowing people had to wrap their clothes tightly.

A group of people appeared not far from the border town. The horses under their crotches were exhausted and walked slowly and listlessly. The riders did not dare to ride. If the horses fell down, they could only walk.

Since leaving the capital, the post station has changed from a large one to a small one, and the treatment has become worse and worse. When they came out of the demon city, the post station disappeared directly.

Thinking of the scene he saw when he came out of Demon Extinguishing City, Jia Chen couldn't help shaking his body.

There were a lot of rumors in Beijing, and there were memorials in black and white. Jia Chen was not qualified to read them, but the adults in the court must have seen them with their own eyes, and the words that came out could not be faked.It is said that all the post stations from the border town to the outside are razed to the ground, just like an earth dragon turning over.

Jia Chen thought that the house of the post station had collapsed, but he could not have imagined that the official roads near the post station were gone, and there was only a huge pit.

These officials from the capital did not dare to stay on the edge of the deep pit. They had to travel a long way to bypass the deep pit, and after eating and sleeping all the way, they finally reached the border town.

Think about how easy it was to travel between border towns and the capital by train. The train carriages are like moving houses, with everything inside.But this time, when he left Beijing on horseback, the post station was gone by the time he came out of Demon Extinguishing City, and he had no chance to repair it at all.

The wind blowing on his body made him feel even colder, but Jia Chen was sweating on his forehead.

This errand is definitely not easy to do. He didn't want to come to the border town at first, but the appointment was made in a hurry, and there was no chance for him to deal with it.

"It's finally here." Zhao Feiyue set up an awning and looked at the very dilapidated gate of the border town in the distance, and said with a sigh of relief, "Let's hurry up, we have to take a good rest when we get to the border town."

As he spoke, he clamped the horse's belly and drove the tired horse to a trot.

The eyes of the people behind were also brightened, and they rushed forward without saying a word.

On the contrary, Qiu Shi and Hu Sai looked at each other, and they still walked slowly at the end.

Jia Chen looked back and forth, and simply walked slowly.He wasn't worried about what would happen if he went to the border town, he just wanted to see if Josh and Hussey would say anything after staying behind.

Zhao Feiyue arrived at the door excitedly, and said loudly: "I am waiting to come from the capital, and I am the one appointed by the imperial court this time. Please open the door so that I can wait in."

The camp in the border town also had meritorious service, but if the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, the court would naturally not trust them, and these meritorious servicemen were actually supervisors, and the Taoist soldiers in the camp in the border town would not trust them either.The combat achievements recorded by these meritorious servicemen will not be directly reported to the imperial court, but will be sent by the imperial court to temporarily form meritorious servicemen, and they will confirm the military achievements before taking them back to the capital to hand them over.

This is very good, it will help the court know what happened on the battlefield, but there are also many things that can be manipulated, otherwise how could the truth about Guiyuan's attack on the city be concealed for so many years?

"Is there no one?" Seeing that no one came out to open the door, the expression on Zhao Feiyue's face immediately became unattractive.

The Taoist soldiers guarding the gate did not show up, but the Taoist soldiers on the watchtower came out to take a look.

They don't want to open the door.

Every year the monsters attack the city, and the border city soldiers fight bloody battles every year. So many people die. If the monsters killed accumulate, the pile will be higher than the outer city wall. This is all in exchange for blood and flesh. How could they deceive the court.

However, the imperial court put their distrust on the surface, and it is not counted to send small officials to make meritorious service. Every time the siege ends, a group of people will be sent to tell them what to do.

These are civil servants, they have never been on the battlefield, and they haven’t even seen monsters much. The military exploits exchanged for those flesh and blood have become black and white in their hands. If you offend them, your military achievements will be cancelled.

This kind of thing happens more and more every year, and many Taoist soldiers dare not speak out.

When they returned to Beijing, they could face the saint directly, even Yang Shuning, who was far away from Emperor Shan Gao, dared not do anything to them.

In the watchtower, the Taoist soldiers murmured: "Go to the camp in the border town and ask, should we open the door or not?"

Another Taoist soldier nodded quickly, "Success."

In fact, they should have opened the door immediately, but they always felt uncomfortable, so they deliberately dragged the people outside and went to Daying in the border town to ask for instructions.

Seeing the Taoist soldiers who came to report the letter, Yang Shuning sighed slightly, how could he not know what these Taoist soldiers were thinking.But even he couldn't deal with these people, so he had to entertain them well, so that the combat skills could be sent up smoothly, so that the Taoist soldiers under him could reward them according to their merits.

If you offend these people, your battle achievements will be reduced, your rewards will be reduced, and it will be the Dao soldiers who will suffer.

"Dan Honghong is here." The soldiers entered the tent and whispered in Yang Shuning's ear.

"Let him in." Yang Shuning's eyes flickered, and he said to the Taoist soldier who reported the letter, "Just wait a moment."

The Taoist soldier who reported the letter hurried to the side and stood there.

If someone else came to disturb him at this time, he would definitely not want to wait, but it was the cubs who helped them a lot, not to mention the bloody battles of these cubs on the battlefield, even now all the Taoist soldiers wear None of their clothes came from the textile workshop, and their daily rations came from the grain depot of Daying in the border town, but no one knew that those grains were all brought by Yan Xun by train.

How much food did the court pay?Thinking about it carefully, it seems that last year the imperial court sent a little food and payment, but this year, I didn't see a grain of food anyway.

Dan Honghong ran in, followed by the little prince.

"General Yang." Dan Honghong cupped her hands at Yang Shuning, and said solemnly, "Just let people from outside the city come in. If they want to live in the train station, we will treat them well. This matter...do whatever you want, no need Don't worry about us."

The little cub's voice was tender, exuding a sweet vigor, but the words he said were not immature at all.

"It should be so." The little prince nodded along, "The most important thing is to reward military exploits."

Yang Shuning glanced at the little prince, then looked down at Dan Honghong, "Little cub, are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true." Dan Honghong said loudly, "General Yang, don't worry about us. Going to the battlefield is a meritorious service for Taoist soldiers, but for us, it's just an experience in the nursery school."

Those exploits are especially important to Dao soldiers, but the cubs don't pay much attention to them.

And now Dan Honghong represents all the cubs in the nursery hall to express their opinions, and it is also to help the camp in the border town.

"Okay!" Yang Shuning also cupped his hands at Dan Honghong, and immediately ordered, "Open the city gate, let them in, go directly to the train station to settle down, and I will meet them in person later."

"Yes!" The Taoist soldier who reported the letter hurriedly withdrew.

Dan Honghong and the little prince left the camp in the border town and went back to the concrete building to join the other cubs.

"We despise those monsters, monsters, conspiracies and tricks. Naturally, we must tell the truth in this battle, but it's hard to guarantee that they won't think too much." The snake cub lay on the cushion, with a pencil on the tip of its tail, writing and drawing on paper, saying , "No, they will definitely think too much."

"Your Excellency has always been at odds with them. Even if there is no chance this time, they will definitely create an opportunity to make you worse."

"Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil."

Cubs, you talk to each other.

Back then, the cubs were always anxious, afraid of offending someone or causing trouble, but now they all have hills and valleys in their chests, even if the wind and rain are coming outside, they can finally make Mount Tai collapse without changing their faces.

"And me." The little prince climbed onto the kang and sat, watching Dan Honghong climb up the rope ladder, and ran to his little nest to sit cross-legged, the smile in his eyes deepened, "The twists and turns in the middle of the court are actually very simple. Anyway, they are not as good as the bloody battles on the battlefield."

"That's true." Brother Dan nodded hurriedly, "Let's wait and see what happens."

The gate of the border city finally opened, and Zhao Feiyue and his party immediately entered the city.

After walking for a short distance, the dirt road under the horse's hooves turned into a flat concrete road, with tall concrete poles erected on both sides of the road, and demon lamps hung on them.

The dilapidated houses were replaced by rows of concrete buildings with bright glass windows, and the curtains hanging behind the glass windows could be clearly seen.

On the other side of the concrete road is the camp of the border town, where you can vaguely see the endless tents and the fearsome Taoist soldiers.

"Cough." Zhao Feiyue shrank subconsciously.

The big camp in the border town didn't change much, the military tents were rattling by the wind, they couldn't compare to the stability of a concrete building, anyway, Zhao Feiyue definitely didn't want to go to the big camp in the border town.

He rolled his eyes and asked the Taoist soldiers leading the way, "Where are we going?"

The Taoist soldier had already received the letter, so he said, "Go to the camp in the border city..." He deliberately prolonged his tone, and he could go to the train station without saying it right away.

Zhao Feiyue's complexion changed immediately, "I won't go to the camp in the border town. Those of us have been eating and sleeping all the way, and we don't look very good. Can we go to the train station to rest for a while?" Afraid that the Taoist soldiers would not agree, he hurriedly said, "We They all carry money, so they don’t go to the train station in vain.”

The Taoist soldier was deliberately embarrassed for a moment, and then said: "It is also possible to go to the train station, everyone, please follow me."

Only then did Chao Feiyue breathe a sigh of relief.

The Biancheng Railway Station is bigger than the largest shopping mall in the capital, dormant beside the railway like a colossus.

Brother Lian was waiting at the door early, and when he saw everyone approaching, he hurriedly opened the glass door, and said with a smile: "Everyone come with me. I will arrange a few private rooms for you, all of which are adjacent to each other, not far from the bathhouse, and the door is just Big dining hall. If you are not used to the food inside, you can also ask the cook to buy another one with money, anyway, we have what we have in the capital city.”

The single room is not big, but although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

There is a cold wind blowing outside, but the room is very warm. The bedding and sheets are clean, and the floor is even more clean. There are special cabinets for storing luggage. There are tables and benches, even under the feet. Wooden boards, you can go in barefoot.

Zhao Feiyue was satisfied after seeing it, and hurried in.

The others were not dissatisfied either. Compared to the big camp in the border town, which is similar to eating and sleeping in the wind, the train station is naturally more comfortable.

Jia Chen fell to the back and chose the farthest room. He had been to the train station earlier and was not curious about the inside, so he directly dragged Lian in and closed the door with a 'bang'.

"Brother Lian, it is rumored that the lord lured the monster away, is this true?" Jia Chen asked anxiously.

This time the monster siege lasted for a very long time. Although the monsters pushed back, the reason for it was a bit shocking. After all, ordinary people can think that since the monster can be lured away by Yan Xun, whether this time the monster siege is the same as Yan Xun Does it matter?

"Yes." Brother Lian took a deep breath and said, "This time the monsters retreat is entirely up to the adults. You know the big monster car, right? Your lord and Master Jing drove away in the big monster car, and they are still in the demon country. The demon watching tower There is no news from the side, and there is no trace on the outer city wall."

That is to say, none of them know what Yan Xun is like in Yao Country now.

"This..." Jia Chen leaned against the wall and said powerlessly, "Now the imperial court wants to reward meritorious service, but the biggest hero..."

"Shh!" Brother Lian immediately stepped forward to cover Jia Chen's mouth, and said seriously, "Don't say this again. The imperial court rewards the officers and men of the camp in the border town, it has nothing to do with your lord, it has nothing to do with you." Monster cubs are even more irrelevant."

"Jia Chen, this is what Master Yan meant."

Brother Lian let go of his hand, moved the bench to sit by the window, and turned his head to look out the window.

There are many guest rooms like this in the train station, and the things inside are almost exactly the same. There are tables in front of the windows, kettles and teacups, and even a small bag of tea, which is better than many inns.

"Do you know when your lord will come back?" Jia Chen asked in a low voice.

Lian Geer shook his head.

Yan Xun left in a hurry, and only had time to explain some things to them. As for when he would come back, even if Yan Xun had said it himself, how could the lured monsters be easily dealt with, and how could they come back in time.

"By the way, why are you here this time?" Brother Lian asked suddenly.

Jia Chen didn't have a title, nor a serious official position, but he did a few errands with Jia Qiugu a few times ago.

It stands to reason that the emperor gave Jia Qiugu a future, and Jia Chen might not have a serious job in the future, but the title should be able to fall, even if it is not given to him, it will be given to Jia Buzhen.

"This time the monster was lured away by Lord Yan. Anyone with a discerning eye is guessing the twists and turns inside, and the storm is even more turbulent. Originally, I didn't plan to show up. I wanted Lord Shi or Lord Si to come to the border city, but the adults above didn't agree. I know why, I suddenly gave Master Shi and Master Si some errands, and they were not allowed to come to the border town."

"I was able to come to the border city because I was a lady in the palace. Elder Zhou, the Wang family, the Pei family and others helped to speak."

Otherwise, it would be Qiu Shi, Zhao Feiyue, Hu Sai and others who came, and there was a Xiaojia who belonged to the emperor, anyway Yan Xun's people would not be there.

While talking, Jia Chen suddenly went to open the door, looked outside, saw that no one was eavesdropping, then came back and said in a low voice: "There is still a little official, you have to pay attention."

"Who?" Brother Lian hurriedly asked.

"Shen Sanlang." Jia Chen said in a low voice, "It looks a bit like Shen Shulang, he is his cousin."

"What's going on? Something went wrong with the case of the Shen family?" Brother Lian was startled.

Jia Chen hurriedly said: "There was no mistake. It was Shen Qianyin who exposed several adults in the prison and gave the credit to Shen Sanlang for atonement. The old man Shen asked him to follow him to the border city to find Shen Shulang, and was going to find a way to rescue Shen Qianyin out. Shen Qianyin The old man also wrote a letter, reprimanding Shen Shulang for being unfilial, and asked for 1000 taels of silver for the elderly. This silver must be for Shen Qianyin, I heard that old man Shen still plans to let Shen Shulang return to Beijing and serve him in prison."

"This Shen family..." Brother Lian was a little shocked, and couldn't help but said, "I thought I had seen enough myself, and I haven't seen any dirty things that can't be seen, but this time it opened my eyes again. It seems that some of the things that are on the bright side are also very dirty."

"I will pay attention to that Shen Sanlang. As for Shen Shulang...don't see him, don't read the letter, let's find a way to stop him."

Jia Chen naturally agreed.

When Brother Lian came back to talk to the cubs, he told both Shen Sanlang and old man Shen.

The cubs were also dumbfounded.

"I've read the law, but I didn't find out how to deal with this kind of thing." Dan Honghong sat cross-legged in the den, wondering, "What is this old man thinking? Now that Shen Shulang is still outside, And it should be a good thing for the Shen family to have the opportunity to step into the court in the future, why does old man Shen insist on dragging his feet desperately behind?"

"Old man Shen still doesn't feel that he is doing evil. He still feels that no matter what happens to Shen Shulang, he has to listen to him and go back to serve him and Shen Qianyin."

"These people in the Shen family are all mentally ill?"
