Chapter 682 The truth about the cub being caught
This little cub looked smaller than Gaia, he knelt on the ground very obediently, as if he was about to knock him down.
Su Tang hurriedly stepped forward to pull him up, and Qiu Mo also stepped forward to help Grandma.
"Grandma, it's just a matter of lifting a finger, there's no need to do this, and we just drove them away temporarily, maybe they will come back again."
Grandma insisted on asking Shi Zai to kneel and kowtow, but Su Tang couldn't resist her, so he had to follow her wishes.
Afterwards, Grandma took the stone cub back into her arms, and touched his face with a distressed expression.
"I don't know who you are, but you saved me and Shizai today. I am very grateful to you. If you want to know anything, just ask. As long as I know, I will definitely not hide it."
Su Tang glanced at Cain, and then she took a step forward and asked, "When did the king order the cubs to be captured? Do you know what they want the cubs for?"
Grandma sighed and looked far into the distance.
"In the warm season of the last big season, the lord ordered all the cubs in the city to gather together, saying that he wanted to open a school and help us take care of the cubs, so that the orcs who had cubs at home would send their cubs there.
Because there is no money to go to this school, many orcs sent their cubs there, but unexpectedly, that was the beginning of the nightmare.
When they sent the cub there, the people in the school said that in order to make the cub more sensible, the school must be isolated from the outside world for seven days. During these seven days, Grandpa and Grandma were not allowed to visit, and they would not come to pick up the cub after seven days. cub.
At that time, I thought that Shi Zai was still young and quite sensible, so I didn't send him there. I realized later that it was the most correct decision for me not to send Shi Zai to school.
When the appointed time came, the front door of the school was crowded with orcs who wanted to pick up the cubs. However, after waiting for a long time, the cubs did not come out. Everyone became anxious and started making noises.
Later, the five commanders led a large number of guards to arrest the troublemaking orcs. Some were thrown into the arena, some were killed on the spot, and some were tied to the criminal rack.
Afterwards, the lord of the country came forward and said that the cubs were raised by him in a very safe place. As long as we obeyed obediently, he would not do anything to the cubs. When he finished what he had to do, the cubs would be able to return to us. around. "
Hearing this, Su Tang couldn't help frowning.
"What is he going to do? There are at least a few hundred cubs in the city. It's been a long time since the last big season. Don't those orcs who have their cubs get worried?"
Grandma lowered her head in disappointment, she couldn't help sighing when she remembered the unbearable past.
Shi Zai in his arms seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly hugged Grandma's neck tightly, and said in a muffled voice, "Grandma, don't be sad, Zaizai will stay with Grandma."
Grandma smiled and rubbed the stone cub's head.
She looked at Su Tang and continued, "Of course I'm worried. But what's the use of worrying? The king doesn't allow us to see the cubs.
At the beginning, some people were afraid of the Imperial Guard Army, afraid of being punished and dared not make trouble, but after seeing the cub, some people couldn't help it. That man was a high-level warrior, and the Imperial Guard Army also took him no way.
But the lord still refused to let him see the cub, and they remained in a stalemate for a long time.
Later, the king became angry and ordered his cub to be killed, and directly threw the cub's body to the orc.
The orc touched the still warm cub, but the cub was already out of breath. Later, I heard that the orc was crazy.
After this incident, no one mentioned seeing the cubs again, and no one dared to cause trouble again, because they were all afraid that the next cub thrown out would be their own. "
Qiu Mo stomped her feet in outrage.
"I'm so mad, what kind of rubbish king is this, I really want to chop him into pieces and throw him out to feed those jackals!"
"Be safe and don't be impatient." Su Tang smoothed Qiu Mo's hair, and continued to look at Grandma, "And then? You must not be the only one who didn't send the cub to school."
Grandma smiled wryly, "Yeah, you're right, there are quite a few cubs in the city who didn't go to school, and when I realized something was wrong, I hid the cubs.
Later, the lord of the country ordered the beast soldiers of the imperial guards to hunt and arrest the cubs everywhere in the city, no matter what method they used, they would definitely catch them.
Even the king sent people to the outer city to coax those orcs into sending their cubs into the inner city first.
Poor orcs in the outer city, they still don't know where their cubs are suffering.
The gates from the inner city to the outer city were also tightly guarded by beast soldiers. People in the inner city couldn't get out at all, and all the prey, vegetables and fruits they ate were brought in by people from the outer city. "
I noticed the longing in Grandma's eyes, it was the longing for freedom, the longing for the outside world.
But in order to keep the king's secret, many orcs were trapped in this square city.
For their cubs, they couldn't resist and kept suppressing themselves.
Su Tang suddenly remembered a sentence she read in a previous book.
Marriage is like a siege, people outside want to get in, people inside want to get out.
Although this matter does not involve marriage, the essence is still the same.
People in the outer city fought hard to get to the inner city, but people in the inner city were extremely depressed and blamed themselves, hoping to get out as soon as they found the cub.
Su Tang sighed, and seemed to have begun to understand the orcs here.

Xi followed Balder all the way to the main hall.
Looking at the familiar buildings around him, he asked curiously, "Isn't this the place where the lord of the country belongs? What did the commander bring me here for?"
Baldr smiled, "The young mermaid wait here for a while, I'll go and inform the lord, the lord wants to see you."
Xi immediately pointed out the loophole in Balder's words, "Really? Then how did the lord know that I'm coming? That's not what the commander said when he just went to the outer city. What the commander himself said, so quickly forgotten?"
Balder's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly smiled kindly.
"The mermaid young master is right. The king really didn't know you were here, but after I go to inform the king, he will definitely summon you."
Xi twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Forget it, go ahead. It just so happens that I also have something to talk to the king about."
Baldr nodded, and then walked in.
Not long after, he came out with a smile on his face, bowed slightly to salute, "Young Master Mermaid, the King welcomes you."
Led by Balder, Xi came to the inner room of the main hall.
The last time he came here was during the warm season. Unexpectedly, he was standing here again after a big season.
The Lord of Bangguo sat on a large chair with a majestic face, resting his hands on his knees, with a feeling of calmness and prestige.
