With that said, Shao Yan took them to the place where the beasts were imprisoned. This place used to be a very desolate suburb. Since the beasts were imprisoned, Chang Yixiao, Zhang Huaide and more than twenty soldiers every day.
Stay here every step of the night
When Shao Yan left last time, he specially gave this place a nickname - zoo. Of course, this zoo is not that zoo. There are only four white tigers, three lionesses, five cheetahs, and some small animals.
Hearing what the guard outside the door said, Chang Yi smiled. Zhang Huaide had just finished feeding the wild beasts and was chatting with them about "homely life". Zhang Baihu wanted to laugh when he heard this, and thought to himself, no wonder the emperor said that there was a task for them. It turned out that he wanted to
They raise animals, haha, it’s really hard for them this time
In order not to disturb too many people, Shao Yan and others entered the park quietly. They smelled the smell of animal excrement from a distance, and walked along the fence next to them. They saw Chang smiling and Zhang Huaide was sitting there.
In the open space in front of the iron cage, I was bored and "cultivating feelings" with the animals.
Animals are animals after all, and it is impossible for them to accept humans in such a short period of time, let alone understand human language. Therefore, no matter what these two guys say, these beasts are either half-lying there scratching their ears,
Or just grinning and screaming.
Chang Yixiao sighed helplessly, "Lao Zhang, what do you think we are doing? We face these beasts who can't understand human speech all day long."
Zhang Huaide pulled up a piece of turf from the ground, chewed it in his mouth, and sneered: "Little boy, you don't understand what the emperor means. The emperor is training us. There is a saying that, Bao Jianfeng never
Through hard work, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from winter."
Chang Yixiao snorted: "It's the bitter cold."
Zhang Huaide couldn't help but said disapprovingly: "No matter where he comes from, we must understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. In my opinion, the emperor must think that we two have a lot of potential, just because we are usually too
If we are too public, the emperor will use this method to dampen our spirit. After a few days, he will naturally remember our good deeds and maybe even let us do big things."
"Just think about it, what big things can you do with your little ability?" Chang Yixiao sat up straight, straightened his chest, and said solemnly: "If you want to do big things, you have to pick me first."
Zhang Huaide looked at the monkey in the cage, then at him, and said jokingly: "Xiao Chang, when I look at it horizontally and vertically, I always feel that you two were brought out of the same mother's womb?" He pointed at the monkey as he spoke.
Lively little monkey jumping around
When Chang Yixiao saw him comparing himself to a monkey, he couldn't help but said angrily: "You fart, I think you and that lioness are still brothers and sisters."
"You little kid, why do you keep swearing when you talk?" Zhang Huaide suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "The emperor often warns us not to use swear words at every turn. If you are not satisfied with me, Lao Zhang,
You can scold me in your heart, how can the emperor train you like this?"
"You don't have to worry about it, you fat man"
"Oh, as soon as I finished saying this, you just..." Zhang Huaide suddenly got up from the ground, rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on his waist, and looked domineering.
Chang didn't show any weakness even when he smiled. He grabbed a feeding bucket from the side and said fiercely: "Master Chang, I've already said dirty words today. What's wrong? You still dare to hit me? If you have the ability, come over here."
"That's what you said. Don't blame me, Zhang, for being rude." Zhang Huaide took a step towards him angrily, but both parties just stared at each other on the spot and did not make any other moves.
Seeing this, Shao Yan was very angry. The reason why he sent the two of them here before was not only to train the so-called "first-level killers", but his main purpose was to resolve the conflict between them. However, he did not expect that in the end, Jiangshan would still be the one to win.
It's easy to change, but hard to change your nature, so I walked over with great strides
Chang smiled. When Zhang Huaide heard the footsteps, he turned his head one after another. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "I will send my subordinates to see the emperor, long live long live long live..."
Before the two of them finished kowtowing, Shao Yan waved his hand and said: "Okay, you have long since lost sight of me, and I can't afford this 'Long Live' anymore."
The two of them suddenly turned red and hesitantly wanted to say something, but hesitated. Zhang Baihu severely criticized them. In the past, these two guys might have even said one or two words to each other.
, now in front of the emperor, even if they are dissatisfied, they do not dare to contradict
The matter was urgent, Shao Yan just scolded him a few words, and then changed the subject and said: "I wanted to come over today to see your training results, but unexpectedly..." After a pause, he said: "Everyone, get up, I will tell you
I’m not interested in the verbal sparring, so let’s get down to business. How was the training these days? Have you ever figured out the habits of these ferocious beasts?”
The two looked at each other, and then each told Shao Yan everything about the eating patterns, daily behavior, etc. of these beasts in the past few days, but what they talked about were only the most common characteristics of animals, even if
Children who have been to the zoo can all imagine that Shao Yan is angry and funny. He wants to punish them, but he can't bear it. But if he allows them to live in such an incompatible relationship, over time, not only will the designated task be completed.
If not, there will even be big trouble
After some careful thinking, Shao Yan cleared his throat and said angrily: "The information you provided has no value at all. There is still some time before the one-month deadline I gave you. After one month, I will
If you still can't see any results, I will chop you both up and feed them."
The expressions of the two men changed immediately. They knew their abilities. Even if it took one month, let alone one year, they would not be able to tame these ferocious beasts. Thinking of their heads falling to the ground in a month, the two men could not help but break out in cold sweat and hurriedly threw themselves on the ground.
, all said together: "Your Majesty, please spare us both. We are both guilty. You can punish us however you want. I just ask you not to let us stay here. We know we were wrong."
Are you going to regret it now? You are so beautiful! Shao Yan shook his head firmly: "I have made up my mind. If you want to resist, I will help you now. Ruxue, I will use your Qinglong sword to send them off."
Bai Ruxue knew that he wanted to scare them, so she immediately drew out her sword and stabbed the two of them in front of their eyes. Their faces were as pale as paper, and they had no choice but to reluctantly nod in agreement.
Afterwards, Shao Yan asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and based on his memory of watching the circus when he was a child, he drew some simple animal training equipment on the paper, such as: wire ropes, steel rings, steel balls, single and parallel bars, etc.
Everyone felt very strange. When they learned the purpose of these things from Shao Yan, almost everyone was shocked. Although there was no circus in this era, you could occasionally see some buskers and monkey performers on the streets and alleys, but
It was just some simple tricks, but what Shao Yan was doing this time was actually a super large animal performance, such as walking on a tightrope, drilling through fire rings, driving a train and other difficult actions
Everyone present sweated over Shao Yan's adventurous and absurd idea. Chang smiled, and Zhang Huaide was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. They did not dare to point out the emperor's whims to his face, and could only complain in their hearts.
He said in his heart that if he could complete this task, he would never do anything else and just ascend to heaven and become a god.
Before leaving the 'zoo', Shao Yan explained some details of animal training to Zhang Huaide and Chang Yixiao. In fact, he didn't know how to train animals at all. He mostly just copied the gourd based on his modern memory.
Of course, the two of them have to explore the specific matters themselves.
Fortunately, the Nile Kingdom's ship had just been intercepted, and the silver coins were used to purchase animal training equipment. In terms of manpower, Shao Yan specifically asked Zhang Baihu to go to the army to select some strong soldiers to assist Chang Yixiao and Zhang Huaide.
The two of them simultaneously sealed off everything within a hundred meters of the 'zoo'. This not only avoided the possibility of wild beasts coming out to harm people in the event of an accident, but also effectively prevented the leakage of information.
Shao Yan believes that this is a confidential military operation and should not be known to outsiders. Furthermore, if the outside world knows that they are taming animals here, people will not feel so fresh when the show starts in the future. The so-called 'Chengdu'
God's plan will be ruined.
However, if you want to replace the god's position in the hearts of the people of the island nation by cultivating the circus alone, it would be a bit of a joke, because the god has not only corrupted their thoughts, but has also been completely indoctrinated into their bones.
'toxin'
Shao Yan did not fight uncertain battles, so on the one hand, he strengthened the training of the army, and on the other hand, he carefully absorbed the opinions of the people below. In order to tame these beasts, he disguised himself as a businessman, farmer, woodcutter, etc. more than once.
Followed by Bai Ruxue and Mu Ying, they went to visit the people
There are poor mountain villages near the north of the city, and most of them are hunters who hunt all year round. Shao Yan rushed there on foot, asked the hunters in detail for some useful knowledge, and asked Mu Ying to record it on his behalf before returning to the palace.
After that, he combed it carefully from beginning to end, and asked Bai Ruxue to rush to the zoo the next day.
Chang Yixiao, the "war" between Zhang Huaide has finally subsided. With the cooperation of other animal trainers, the two patiently trained the beasts one by one. At first, they tied them with chains and then put them outside the cage.
, over time, those animals gradually relaxed their vigilance towards humans under the temptation of delicious food.
After half a month, the two simply released them all out of the cage. This made training easier, and some animals could already complete some simple performances, such as jumping on the horizontal and parallel bars, walking through fire rings, etc.
In fact, these are not the 'true gods' that Shao Yan said. The main purpose of why he worked so hard to build such a circus is to lead to the island, because Yelubu of the Nile Kingdom has repeatedly emphasized that,
All civilians are not allowed to enter the island, but it is not limited to businessmen doing business.
Shao Yan has thought about it for a while, and at present, this is the only method that is most attractive and can arouse the attention of the people on the island. As for how to wash away their poisoned thoughts, by then, they can only act according to circumstances. The most important thing at the moment is training.
Thanks to these beasts, Shao Yan believes that as long as he has something convincing enough, he can hope to change those distorted thoughts.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the training results have been making continuous progress, but in Shao Yan's opinion, it is not enough. The first thing he does after morning service every day is to change clothes, taking Bai Ruxue, Mu
The two girls Ying left the palace and didn't come back until evening almost every day. They were also busy reviewing memorials at night, and usually didn't go to bed until midnight. As a result, they couldn't be energetic when sitting in the court the next day.
At first, the ministers thought that the emperor might have been too busy in the past two days, so they didn't take it to heart. Who knew that it had been like this for half a month in a row? This had to make them a little confused. The cultivation of the circus was actually done in private.
, except for Zhang Baihu and Deng Bingtang who knew about it, everyone else was kept in the dark.
As time went by, the civil and military ministers would inevitably gossip. Some people said that since the emperor ascended the throne, the harem has been empty, and the two girls Bai Ruxue and Mu Ying have been with the emperor all day long, even when he went to court.
The emperor is probably obsessed with these two girls every night, which is why he is so depressed. Some people exaggerately believe that they have seen the emperor sleeping in the same bed with these two girls every day. This is
Although this statement has been scorned by many ministers, some ministers with ulterior motives will also add fuel to the fire, making the accusations darker and darker.
There were more than a hundred civil and military ministers in the court, and they all had different opinions. Only Deng Bingtang, Zhang Baihu, and Li Changsheng were not as gossipy as them. However, when it came to the establishment of the harem, all three of them felt that the emperor was
It’s time to consider the post-election of the concubine
