Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 95: Wild Beasts
Why didn't Yuwen Bao and Lin Quan insist on coming to find him? Li Yuanji could tell from Xie Shufang's words that they obviously knew what he was doing and didn't dare to disturb him.

Li Yuanji then looked at Yu Minghe.

"Minghe, you must remember this for me from now on. Whenever someone comes to you with something important, you must tell me about it. This will only happen once. If it happens again, you will not be around me."

Yes, Li Yuanji began to vent his anger on Yu Minghe. Li Yuanji was not wrong in this matter. Yu Minghe was not only his personal bodyguard, but also his secretary. No matter what he was doing, it was necessary for Yu Minghe to tell him about this kind of things.

Xie Shufang said this because he knew what Yu Minghe was going to do, as he had been following Li Yuanji before.

Seeing this, Yu Minghe wanted to apologize, but as everyone was running, he had to respond.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong and will never do it again. Later, I will receive twenty military sticks as punishment!"

Xie Shufang looked at Yu Minghe with admiration. He agreed with Yu Minghe's approach and felt that he was a real man.

After hearing this, Li Yuanji had no choice but to speak out.

"Since you know you are wrong, go get the Ten Military Sticks. If you get hurt, who will help me?"

Li Yuanji was really helpless. Yu Minghe had already said so. If he didn't punish him, how could he control his subordinates in the future?

As for being beaten with twenty military sticks, even if Yu Minghe was strong and healthy, he would have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month. The military sticks were no joke. The law enforcement team would not hold back no matter who you were as long as you were executed. Moreover, they were all strong men, and every stick was a real hit.

So Xie Shufang also admired Yu Minghe. He was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. Obviously, he had never been beaten with a military stick, so he didn't know what that felt like.

After saying this, Li Yuanji thought of something and continued, "When you go down, go find Shufang and learn from him how he did it, so that you won't make the same mistake again in the future."

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, Xie Shufang's expression froze. He really hadn't thought that he just came to give Li Yuanji a reminder, but ended up getting himself involved. He also had a lot of things to do, and now he had an extra person to teach, just like he taught Yang Shu back then.

The key is what Yu Minghe is doing now. It is simple, but it is also complicated. It is totally different from what he did when he taught Yang Shu. Xie Shufang wanted to cry.

Yu Minghe had a very happy look on his face. He had lived here since he was a child. Apart from what Yu Daorong taught him, he didn't know many things and he found it difficult. With a master to guide him, he would feel much more relaxed.

"Thank you, General. Thank you for your help."

What else did Xie Shufang have to do but agree to it. He just hoped that Yu Minghe would not be so stupid and would finish teaching him sooner and get the job done.

After running 3,000 meters, Li Yuanji saw that today's task disappeared and his contribution points reached 20, and he smiled. Now he wanted to save these contribution points. In addition, Hikvision would be completed in at most one month, and then he could spend a big amount.

However, before Li Yuanji had sat down to rest for long, Ning Chun hurried over.

"My lord, it's bad. Two of the oxen in the farm are sick, and seven of the chickens and ducks are missing. Judging from the damage, there must be a python."

Li Yuanji stood up after hearing this. The ox was sick? He exchanged all these from the system. One ox was worth 20 points, and he had to complete four days of daily tasks to exchange one ox.

As for the python, Li Yuanji was even more shocked. He had always heard about ferocious beasts and wild birds, but now it was real?
"Take me there quickly!"

However, Xie Shufang stopped Li Yuanji.

"Your Majesty, the truth has not been revealed yet, so you must not take risks yourself. I will mobilize the army right now. After the army has verified that everything is fine, you can go later." Li Yuanji thought about it for a moment and agreed. After all, it was a python and it should be treated with due respect. Without the army to keep it in check, if it really came out and stared at him with a deathly coil, it would be useless for Yu Minghe and others to protect it, and it would die instantly.

"Okay, go quickly. Remember to bring plenty of bows and crossbows, as well as chariot crossbows."

What Li Yuanji was worried about was that the python was too big and ordinary swords could not penetrate its defense. The chariot crossbow was a heavy-duty crossbow that could be nailed directly into the city wall. There would be no problem in breaking the python's defense then.

Xie Shufang hurried downstairs immediately, and less than half an hour later, Xie Shufang came running back.

"My lord, we have checked the surrounding area. There are no pythons. You can pass through. There is no damage at the scene."

Li Yuanji immediately hurried over and found the scene in a mess, with broken wood and sawdust all around, as well as a drag mark. Li Yuanji squatted down to check and measured with his hand. The width of the drag mark was even wider than his palm. Li Yuanji became more and more certain that this python would not be small.

"Dahe, take people to check the surrounding area immediately and ask people around if they have found any traces of the python. How could such a big snake be unseen by anyone?"

Ning Chun immediately took people to inquire and check, and came back after a long time.

"Your Majesty, I have asked around, but no one noticed it. On weekdays, everyone is busy outside and no one noticed it. There were drag marks around, about 20 steps to the east, but it disappeared at a wooden house that had not yet been built.

We pushed open the wooden house and looked inside, but we found no trace of the python."

Li Yuanji looked solemn. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Ning Chun.

"Bring the person who went in to see here. I have something to ask him."

Then a man came over and Li Yuanji spoke directly.

"When you went in to look, did you look carefully? Did you check every place? Especially the dark places and corners. Tell me the truth, or I will chop you down!"

The man immediately fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, I went in and took a quick look, but I didn't find any traces of the python. I didn't look carefully in the dark places or corners."

After hearing this, Ning Chun looked at the man with anger. It seemed that even if this man was spared from death, he would still be punished.

Li Yuanji didn't care and immediately looked at Xie Shufang.

"Take the men over there immediately, surround the room, load the crossbows, and go now!"

Li Yuanji's face was solemn. It was impossible for such a big python to disappear completely. In the current situation, Li Yuanji thought that the python was most likely in the wooden house. Although Li Yuanji didn't know how the python got in, he couldn't think too much about it now.

A group of people came to the wooden house. The crossbows and arrows were already aimed at the house. Everyone was on full alert.

"Go prepare something to start the fire and throw it over there. Don't go over there!"

Li Yuanji had no intention of asking anyone to go and see it. Losing one person was a better choice than losing a wooden house that had not been built.
