"Zixiao, what are you carrying?"
Meng Heng and the rest were busy, but Wei Ci, who usually arrived first, was late. He seemed to be carrying something in his arms.
A faint smile appeared on Wei Ci's face. He moved his right hand slightly, and a small head timidly popped out of his wide sleeve. Its bright black eyes looked around, and its two claws were placed on both sides of its head. The pink and tender claws were crystal clear. The little thing whimpered, like a baby's unconscious humming, with a hint of laziness and coquettishness. Coupled with its harmless and adorable appearance, no one could harden their heart upon seeing it.
Meng Heng knew what it was at a glance.
"Isn't this the cub of an iron-eating beast? Zixiao likes this little thing too? "
Wei Ci did not like it at all.
It was obvious that the lord did not tell him how to deal with it. It was clingy, so he had no choice but to bring it along in case no one took care of it.
Before Wei Ci could explain, Meng Heng said, "An iron-eating beast cub looks harmless and interesting, but it's different when it grows up. Ferocious beasts are wild and hard to tame. If Zixiao keeps it by your side, there's no guarantee that it won't hurt you. It's fine to raise it now, but not when it's older. "
Wei Ci looked down at the little fellow, and his lips curled into a faint smile.
The little fellow did not know what was going on. It laid there, opened its mouth and bit his sleeve. After a long while, it spat it out.
"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Shijiu," Wei Ci said.
"I heard that iron-eating beast cubs are very fragile and not easy to raise. If Zixiao likes it, it's better to find an experienced servant and let him take care of it." Meng Heng kindly reminded him. Iron-Eating beasts were different from ordinary pets. Looking at this cub, it was about two to three months old. If it was not carefully taken care of, it might die. "I heard that iron-eating beasts are very protective of their cubs. Where did Zixiao get one?"
Wei Ci could not talk about what happened last night, so he could only vaguely say, "I picked it up by accident."
Meng Heng nodded in understanding. He said, "Iron-Eating beasts are different from ordinary beasts. Their cubs are all taken care of by their mother. Mother beasts are very protective of their cubs. Under normal circumstances, they would not abandon their own children. Zixiao picked it up by accident, perhaps because its mother had met with misfortune. It's good for you to raise it. Although it's a little beast, it's so cute. It would be a pity if it died prematurely … "
Unbeknownst to them, Meng Heng's words hit the nail on the head.
When this black and white meatball was found, its mother's body was already stiff, and the cub had been starving for two days.
As it was not convenient for the person who found the cub to keep it, he threw it to Jiang Pengji and it landed in Wei Ci's hands.
Wei Ci was a busy man. When he was busy, he could not take care of the little guy. He could only prepare a basin of milk with good honey for it.
Meng Heng had said that an Iron-Eater cub's stomach was not as strong as an adult Vicious Beast's, so it could not be fed with normal food.
The black and white meatball was also very obedient. It buried its entire head in the small basin and licked it from time to time. Its two meaty claws clung to the edge of the basin and refused to let go.
It licked and licked until the bottom of the small basin of milk could be seen, but it still wanted more.
"Since when did Zixiao like this kind of thing?"
The black and white meatball burped and was about to crawl towards Wei Ci when an abominable big hand picked it up.
Feng Zhen pinched the plump flesh on Meatball's body, and the little fellow let out two disgruntled cries.
Wei Ci repeated helplessly.
"I picked it up by chance."
Feng Zhen "bullied" the black and white meatball. The little fellow cast a pair of pitiful eyes at Wei Ci for help and extended its meaty claws towards him.
"Hey, it's quite intelligent …"
"All living things have intelligence. It knows who is good to it and who is bad to it."
Wei Ci saw that Feng Zhen was despised by the black and white meatball, and the corners of his lips curled into a deeper smile.
"You guys are quite free …"
Wei Ci was about to take the black and white meatball back when Jiang Pengji's voice came from outside.
"My lord."
Wei Ci and Feng Zhen bowed at the same time.
Feng Zhen wanted to stuff the black and white meatball into his sleeves to destroy the "evidence" of slacking during office hours.
The viewers in the streaming room had sharp eyes and noticed the black and white meatball.
Fengqi Wutong: "Streamer, I'm exposing a thief who stole a panda!"
Hidden Fog Zhe: "Feng Langzi, why haven't you put down the national treasure? If you keep holding onto it, the national treasure Fatty Da will feel very uncomfortable."
Suyi Qingzhe: "Streamer, you've released the pandas of the Gaoyue tribe deep into the mountains. I thought I wouldn't be able to see pandas in the streaming room in my lifetime. I didn't expect you to be such a person. You actually took advantage of us not noticing to secretly keep the smallest and cutest …"
Xiaoshou Wushuang: "Streamer, today I'm streaming stroking cats. Even if you don't do anything and just look at Fatty Da, the baby will be satisfied. "
Jiang Pengji asked with a smile, "Zi Shi, who asked you to hide my daughter?"
Feng Zhen couldn't wrap his head around it. When did he hide a young master?
Bah!
Since when did he have a young master?
He was stunned. After a while, he realized that the "daughter" Jiang Pengji was referring to was the meatball in his hand.
"Did you raise it, my lord?"
"If I didn't raise it, could it be that you raised it?" Jiang Pengji took back the black and white meatball. The little fellow nestled in Jiang Pengji's arms obediently. Its two meaty paws covered its eyes. It looked like it was sleeping soundly, but in fact, it secretly moved one of its paws to observe Feng Zhen.
Feng Zhen looked at Wei Ci and then at his lord. His eyes flashed with understanding.
He tactfully left to give Wei Ci and Jiang Pengji some space to interact.
The audience keenly sensed that something was wrong.
The atmosphere between their streamer and Beauty Ci was too warm and harmonious.
Liangshumuzidaozi: "It can't be — the single dog streamer is finally going to abandon us?"
Pianxian Dia Wu: "Woof, I'm crying. I'm going to be abused just watching a live stream. Is there no place for single dogs in this world?"
Reality proved that the audience's worries were unnecessary.
Jiang Pengji and Wei Ci weren't people who prioritized relationships. Most of their conversation was related to work.
It had nothing to do with romance, only boring political affairs.
"Is there any news from Bogao?"
Jiang Pengji asked Wei Ci as she stroked the meatball's fur.
Wei Ci could only put down the pen in his hand and said seriously, "Magistrate Huang used Gorge River as a foothold and sent troops north to Cangzhou. My lord annihilated the Mengs' minions, the Gaoyue clan. Calculating the time, Magistrate Huang should have sent news of victory. However, I'm worried about something … "
"What is it?"
Wei Ci said, "I'm worried about the leader of the Mengs in Cangzhou, Meng Zhan."
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and smiled. "What's there to worry about?"
Wei Ci said, "Ever since my lord annihilated the Gaoyue clan, the Mengs seem to have given up struggling. Our army attacked Qianyan County and encountered almost no resistance along the way. The more it's like this, the more I feel uneasy. Meng Zhan is ruthless and not easy to deal with. "
Wei Ci was worried that Meng Zhan was preparing a big move.
As someone who had been reborn, Wei Ci's "prophetic advantage" was getting smaller and smaller. However, some people's temperaments hadn't changed. He could always find some clues. According to Wei Ci's understanding, Meng Zhan wasn't someone who would easily admit defeat. His ambition was greater than his clan.
In his previous life, Meng Zhan married his mistress's daughter to Huang Song. The two families united by marriage and plotted against each other.
However, Meng Zhan was one step behind. He didn't manage to take over Huang Song's foundation. Instead, Huang Song took advantage of him.
Unable to reverse the situation, guess what Meng Zhan did?
He promised two families for one Cangzhou.
One was the Yi family of Beiyuan, and the other was the Nie family of Zhongzhao.
Giving up Zhanjiang Pass and Yumen Pass opened the door for the two families to covet Dongqing's territory.
