Cub Nursery

Chapter 175

The thinly sliced ​​meat quickly curled and turned white on the iron plate, and the delicate brush was dipped in a layer of sauce and brushed lightly, then quickly turned over, picked up and placed on the prepared plate next to it.

A very small hand held the chopsticks that didn't fit him and looked too big to pick up the piece of meat, 'Ah Woo' took a bite, "Sweet!"

The meat slices are fat and thin, the fatty meat is fried to produce fat, fat but not greasy, and the lean meat is full of sauce, fragrant but not sticky.

"Father, when we go back to the border town, let's eat barbecue with my brothers." The baby chewed the meat slices, picked up the cup that was too big for him and took a sip of tea, "It's so delicious."

"Well, when the time comes, you can take these iced meat slices and eat with everyone." Yan Xun skillfully rolled the sauce with the meat slices before putting them in his mouth.

Many people in the next carriage were swallowing their saliva.

It's not that I haven't eaten delicacies from mountains and seas on weekdays, and I haven't seen dishes that only exist in the palace. I don't know how many times I have eaten dishes that cost a hundred taels of silver.

But such a simple piece of grilled meat tastes so delicious that they all feel hungry and salivate.

"What's the style, what's the style." Huang Shilang's complexion was very ugly.

Thinking that he has lived for so many years, he has never seen or heard anything, whether it is reasoning or trying to network, he is not afraid, but when he meets Yan Xun who does not play cards according to common sense, he is not reasonable at all. Directly borrow troops to arrest them.

"Huang Shilang, be safe and don't be impatient." Xiaojia leaned towards Huang Shilang and whispered, "Master Yan doesn't give us face, and eats delicious food next door. I haven't seen that barbecue. I heard that only It's only available in the shop of His Highness the Sixth Prince, and those who go there have special servants to help them barbecue, no more, no less, exactly six slices..."

Having said that, Huang Shilang's mouth watered even more.

"I went to knock on the door, but I don't believe that Lord Yan won't give us food." Xiaojia said and stood up, "Don't be angry, Huang Shilang, it's useless to hold your breath now and then, why don't I go and give in to Master Yan and say Maybe we'll have barbecue too."

"Hmph." Huang Shilang hummed reservedly.

This Xiaojia is just a low-level official. It is said that he was selected by bad luck. He was transparent along the way. No one paid attention to him at all, and they didn't even know his name.

But since Xiao Jia is willing to stand up at this time, then Huang Shilang will not say anything, anyway, the embarrassment is Xiao Jia's own embarrassment, if Yan Xun can really let Yan Xun send food, then everyone eats together, he will not suffer anyway.

As Xiaojia said, she really went to knock on the door.

The iron door connecting the two compartments is very heavy and locked by a mechanism. Without a special key, it cannot be opened at all.

Xiao Jia slammed the door loudly, seeing no movement over there, she shouted: "Master Yan, Master Yan..."

"It's Xiaojia." Jing Fengye not only recognized Xiaojia's voice, but also said what Xiaojia and Huang Shilang said just now.

"Open the door and let Xiao Jia come over, take some food and go." Yan Xun said lightly, "It's really aggrieved to only give them lunch, after all, most of these people have a meal at their own house that is not less than 50 taels of silver .”

The baby frowned, and said: "It's like a vegetarian meal. Zhumen's wine and meat stinks and there are frozen bones. Not to mention how the ordinary people eat, but the border town camp, the Taoist soldiers eat not as good as the ordinary people. They have also made great achievements. Why? Can't compare to these literati who play with their pens and mouths!"

"What did your master say?" Yan Xun glanced at the baby.

The baby lowered his head in embarrassment, and whispered: "Yes, Master and I visited their house at night, it is really extremely luxurious, the floor is paved with silver bricks, and the curtain is made of jewels..."

"Hey, in this net, who can really be alone." Yan Xun touched the baby's little head, and said earnestly, "But we don't care about others, and we are not qualified to care about them, but we have to manage them well. Own."

The baby nodded heavily.

He followed the Northern Qi to investigate the case, and saw the "Three Years of Qing Zhifu's [-] snowflakes and silver". A turbid official who can stick to his heart.

As Yan Xun's son, there are many people who want to curry favor with him.

There are so many jobs in those workshops, as long as the baby is willing, he can extract immeasurable wealth from them.

But the baby didn't do that.

Although everyone in the world is like this, Baobao knows that their family is different. Their family does not need to be so busy, nor does it need to be united with those so-called networks. Their family is detached from the outside world, and their family is special. , is almost the only remaining existence in Daqin that can be on an equal footing with those Internet players, or even not fall behind.

"Father, my master said that thanks to us, he can investigate certain cases confidently." Bao Bao said suddenly.

"I know." Yan Xun said calmly.

No matter how capable the Northern Qi was, it was only the Minister of Dali Temple from the third rank, and there were many people he could not touch, but it would be different if he added Baobao. Who dares to pat his chest and say that he offended the baby.

The baby represents Yan Xun, but the entire nursery school.

Yan Xun is no longer the Honglu Temple minister who no one knew him, and no one took him seriously. Instead, he left Honglu Temple and established the Conservation Hall. He has become a person that no one can ignore. Even behemoths that have to be treated with caution.

Yan Xun was talking to the baby, Jing Fengye went to open the door, let Xiao Jia come over, and quickly closed the door.

"Xiao Jia?" Si Ping ate the sliced ​​meat with a plate, and said happily when he saw Xiao Jia coming over, "You should have come here earlier, isn't it uncomfortable over there?"

"Master Si." Xiao Jia cupped his hands at Si Ping, and hurried over to salute Yan Xun.

"Eat something here, and bring something over there." Yan Xun patted Xiaojia on the shoulder, without saying anything.

This Xiaojia is obviously the emperor's person, and now he appears among this group of people, it is not surprising that anything happens here again.

Glancing at Yan Xun gratefully, Xiao Jia hurried over to eat.

Fragrant meat slices and fresh vegetable leaves, without cooking, thickening, etc., are just ordinary vegetable leaves, and the taste of eating them with barbecue is so strange.Xiao Jia quickly filled his stomach, thanked Yan Xun again, and then returned to the next car with the plate.

"Huang Shilang." Xiao Jia came over to please him.

"Hmph." Huang Shilang glanced at the plate in Xiaojia's hand, sat there without moving, but the table in front of him had already been cleaned up, and everyone else came to Huang Shilang's side, waiting for Xiaojia to take the food. Bring it here.

Xiao Jia knew how to read his face, so he hurried over and put the plate away.

There were not many slices of barbecued meat wrapped in vegetable leaves, and there were quite a lot of people in the carriage. In the end, the people headed by Huang Shilang only ate two pieces of meat, and Xiao Jia naturally didn't have any.

After eating the barbecue, Huang Shilang's face looked much better. He felt that Yan Xun knew the current affairs, so he said, "This train is not bad. It would be a pity to only go to the border town. It would be great if we could go to Zhuangzi. If the emperor is going to tour the south this year, if there is a train, But it's much more convenient."

Wen Xian knew the elegant meaning, and several people hurriedly agreed.

If the emperor goes out of the palace, the people and horses are mighty, slow and unsafe. If the train can be used by the emperor in all directions, wouldn't it be much simpler?

Huang Shilang thought in his heart that when he went back, he would definitely take advantage of the opportunity of meeting Sheng to offer advice. At that time, Yan Xun would be responsible for repairing the railway and building trains, and Huang Shilang would be responsible for the credit.Wouldn't it be nice to find a chance to occupy all the places where the train passed by in the future, and set up a few more Zhuangzi?

The others thought the same way, they were all thinking about their own interests, and their words became more pleasant, and they kept praising the train they took.

These people think that their voices are not loud, and they must not be able to hear them next door, but they don't know that Jing Fengye and the baby can hear them clearly.And this is Yan Xun's train, even if Jing Fengye and Bao Bao are not there, there is a mechanism on the train that allows him to hear the voice next door clearly.

Hearing Huang Shilang's unreasonable remarks, Yan Xun sneered and said, "It's a good idea, and I want to get credit for not putting in the effort."

"It's so annoying." The baby looked unhappy, "Don't they think about how much it costs to build trains and railroad tracks? Is the money all paid by the nursery school? If this is the case, who owns the world?"

"Huh?" Yan Xun looked down at the baby and asked in a low voice, "Who said that?"

"My master said it." The baby looked up at Yan Xun, "Father, ever since you became a county lord, the master has said that if Daqin continues to toss like this, everyone will flock to you manor……"

Even if Yan Xun didn't win over the people now, but just built an umbrella-making workshop in the fief, but to the people of the world, Yan Xun is still a county lord with a fief.

Building railroad tracks and building trains cost a lot of money, and forced labor was required. If the conservation hall did not pay, the imperial court would not be able to support it. In this way, many people would leave their homes to escape labor.

Bei Qi mentioned these words to Bao Bao a few times, and Bao Bao cleverly drew inferences, so he brought it up now.

"Hey." Yan Xun sighed, "Don't say such things in the future, we are the people of Great Qin after all."

"En." The baby nodded, knowing the priority of the matter.

In addition to stopping once for water replenishment, the train did not stop all the way until the border town.

From a distance, you can see a green field, with cement ditches running through it, and further away are workshops, cement buildings under construction, and towering towers, even if you look at it The existence that can be known even if it is not clear: the Demon Watching Tower.

Farther away is the outer city wall that exists like a mountain, guarded by Taoist soldiers, guarding the entire Great Qin.

The glass windows on the train were open, and the wind was blowing in. However, when the train approached the border town, it seemed that the wind outside also changed.

Huang Shilang shivered violently, and reached out to close the glass window.

The wind is isolated from the outside, and through the glass windows, you can gradually see everything in the border town, and you can even see people who occasionally pass by. They are all wearing simple bunts, walking vigorously, and are completely different from the people in the capital. Same.

At the beginning Ruan San brought a group of people to the border town, and he went to death row without telling others what he saw and heard. Now that Huang Shilang saw such a border town, the ease in his heart quickly disappeared, replaced by a heartfelt feeling. frightened.

It was only at this time that Huang Shilang really remembered that they came to the border town to meet the envoys of the demon kingdom, not to offer advice to the emperor.

The train is slowing down and entering the huge railway station, and people who have been waiting outside can be seen.

All the men outside were full of evil spirits, completely different from the ordinary men in the capital.

Even if he had seen blood in his own nursing home, he didn't have such a strong aura.

Huang Shilang's face was pale. When he realized that the train had stopped, he almost didn't dare to look at everything outside the window.

But what should come still has to come.

The iron door connecting the two compartments was finally opened, and this time it was not closed again. A skilled craftsman came over to open the iron door of the compartment and said, "Here we are, all adults, please get off the train."

Xiao Jia quickly stood up and walked forward obediently.

He has been to the border town before, but last time he rode a horse and nearly lost half his life in a hurry along the way, but this time it is different, sitting comfortably in the train, eating and drinking will be there, and now he goes directly The train station is much better than last time.

"Huang Shilang, let's go down, this train turns around and the doors are closed, so you can't go in and out at will." Xiao Jia whispered.

"Hmph." Huang Shilang stood up with a pale complexion, and moved out bit by bit.

After all, this is a border town, even if Huang Shilang had written down one stroke after another for Yan Xun in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, he could only hold it in his heart.

After finally getting off the train, this is not over yet, we have to keep going.

Huang Shilang looked up, but he didn't see Yan Xun and Jing Fengye, they didn't even know where they went.

"Huang Shilang, this way, we may have to go to the train station to stay first." Xiao Jia whispered, "I just asked secretly. This way..."

"Live at the train station? Is there no other palace here? Does the envoy of the demon country also live at the train station? How is this proper?" Huang Shilang put on airs, reprimanded Xiao Jia with a condescending expression on his face, "Master Yan, go Where is it?"

Xiao Jia looked terrified, and hurriedly said: "I didn't find out about this."

"Hmph." Huang Shilang glared at Xiaojia viciously.

Yan Xun and Jing Fengye took the baby to the train station one step earlier. The corridors inside the huge train station are winding and winding, and there are many forks in the road. If Yan Xun doesn't want to meet these people, he will definitely not meet them .

"You take these things and go to the umbrella workshop now." Yan Xun told the baby, "You and Jiaqing are together, and the war horse knows the way."

"En, I see." The baby lifted up the extremely huge wooden box, walked a few steps outside and then turned around, "Father, if you have something to do, you must call me."

"I will." Yan Xun assured the baby.

Then Baobao took the huge wooden box and went outside to meet Jiaqing, and the two left the train station on horses.

"My lord, are all the courtiers welcoming the envoys from the demon kingdom here?" Qin Liu had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Yan Xun sending the baby away, he hurriedly asked.

Yan Xun nodded, "They're all here, but it's useless. I guess they will definitely find ways to meet you. Then you can play it by ear."

As soon as Qin Liu said this, he understood, and he asked in disbelief, "None of my brothers...have come?"

"No." Yan Xun was also a little speechless.

After the officials to welcome the demon kingdom's envoys were selected, even the prince who represented the emperor should be selected, but the emperor himself was hesitant about this matter.In addition, Qin Yi was ill by accident, Qin Si ran away on the coal train, and the other princes either had errands, or they all found excuses to hide.

In addition, Qin Liu was in the border town, and brother Huan also came to the border town this time, so the emperor didn't say that.

Whether the emperor wants Qin Liu or Brother Huan to represent the emperor, or whether he has someone else in mind and waits until the envoys of the demon country go to the capital to make a decision, these things are unpredictable even to Yan Xun.

"Hey." Qin Liu found it incredible.

He spent some days in the border town, because he had a good relationship with Yan Xun, the soldiers and Taoists in the border town treated him very well, he even looked at the outer city wall from a distance, and saw those invulnerable battle robes, those bows, crossbows and cannons , Those Taoist soldiers with advanced cultivation bases.

Although Qin Liu had never seen what the border town looked like before, as the sixth prince, he had heard of it and knew the situation of the border town by ear.

A comparison between the past and the present shows that the border town has changed a lot and is stronger than 01:30.

Under such circumstances, the prince should no longer hide, and Daqin should not be so weak. Prince Qin Yi should stand up and welcome the envoys of the Demon Kingdom on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and show his national power again, so that the Demon Kingdom will be afraid.

Qin Liu couldn't figure out why the emperor couldn't see through this.

"I see." Qin Liu cupped his hands at Yan Xun, turned and left.In any case, he didn't want to deal with those civil servants. This was not the time to waste words and tricks, and he didn't like that either. Compared with intrigue, Qin Liu preferred to run his own shop.

The reception banquet was in the canteen of the railway station, among the rows of tables, Yan Xun occupied a small corner.

The food in the border town is not very good. Although there is a lot of meat, there are very few dishes, only bean sprouts, wild vegetables unique to the border town, tofu, etc. No matter how well the dishes are cooked, they are all ordinary dishes.

Some men were eating in the distance, they didn't come to visit you, and they didn't even look this way.

Huang Shilang's complexion was very ugly, he felt that he had suffered unprecedented contempt, and when he looked at the food in front of him, he couldn't eat it, and he didn't even want to move his chopsticks.

"Everyone, the envoys from the Demon Kingdom will arrive in a few days. How should we receive them?" Yan Xun raised his glass casually while holding the tea, "I will replace the wine with tea here to greet you all. Last time I went back to the Demon Kingdom The envoy was going to the capital city by carriage, and I chose a place inaccessible along the way, and everything went smoothly. But this time there is a train, do you think it is suitable for the envoy of the Demon Kingdom to take the train or the horse-drawn carriage?"

He said it was a reception, but he was so casual, and instead directly talked about receiving envoys from the demon kingdom.

This kind of banquet is too perfunctory, and Yan Xun's attitude is even more perfunctory.

Huang Shilang's face changed again and again, and finally said: "Since Mr. Yan has an idea, why not tell us and let's listen."

"My idea is very simple, of course I take the train, but there must be someone in the carriage to accompany the envoys of the Yao Kingdom." Yan Xun slowly glanced at the people present, and said, "Even if not everyone is accompanying the Yao Kingdom envoys." Envoy, but someone must be with you, otherwise, I can rest assured, but the emperor will not. As for the candidate..."

Of course it was chosen from among the people present, and it definitely couldn't be Yan Xun himself. If so, they would have no way to explain to the emperor.

So everyone became vigilant and was easily provoked by Yan Xun.
