stand back, let me come

Chapter 1342: Salty Bait and Straight Hook (Part 1342) [Seeking monthly votes]

The matter was done, and Shen Tang's anger could not change the fact that the difficulty had increased. She tried to calm down. Gong Xichou keenly realized that the crisis had passed, and carefully observed Shen Tang's face, and was relieved when he was sure that the other party would not give him another sword.

Gong Xichou apologized quietly: "...This is my fault."

The life fire in Wei Cheng's eyes did a backflip, vividly demonstrating what it meant to roll his eyes: "Humph, that's all you can do."

It was just a mistake, not intentional. Apart from being furious, what else could Shen Tang do to Gong Xichou? Gong Xichou looked unpleasant, not masculine at all, and too weak.

Gongxi was so angry that he wanted to sew Wei Cheng's mouth shut.

If you don't add fuel to the fire for a day, the old man will get itchy, right?
Shen Tang always took the easy way out. Gong Xichou apologized on his own initiative. What could she do? She bent down to pick up the wig, dusted it off, combed the messy hair with her fingers, and put it back on skillfully. When she turned her head, she saw him lowering his head, biting his lower lip tightly, and the muscles on his cheeks were suspiciously tense. He covered his face with one hand, which made Shen Tang angry.

"Why are you so patient? You have the guts to cause trouble but not the guts to laugh?"

Gong Xichou tried hard to calm himself down, and only loosened his grip when he felt his smile had subsided. Only the teeth marks on his lower lip were clearly visible.

"Ma-what happened to your highness's hair?"

Realizing the current situation, Gong Xichou tactfully changed his address.

"... This body can't grow hair." Shen Tang sighed. God knows how hard she has tried to grow hair over the years, but all kinds of magic words don't work, and folk remedies can't save her either. She can only accept her fate. Wigs are convenient, but they fall off easily.

The situation just now was very embarrassing.

Gong Xichou felt a little sympathy when he heard this.

As a person who has had thick, dense hair since childhood, he could not understand the pain of baldness. In order to avoid making mistakes, he secretly remembered that next time he had a conflict with Mama, he must not pull her hair.

"Then..." Although Gong Xichou's body reaction was very honest and he dared not breathe when he spoke, his external expression was righteous, as if he was not the one who caused the trouble. "How should we deal with Luo San? His strength should have an upper limit. It is impossible to increase it indefinitely. At most, he can recover to his original level. He is alone, and we are more in number. At worst, we can fight him in rotation!"

Wei Cheng expressed his opinion before Shen Tang could speak.

He strongly criticized this despicable act that had no martial ethics at all, and argued: "The world is becoming more and more corrupt, and people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be! How dare you say such a shameless act? I am ashamed to be associated with you!"

Gong Xichou asked back, "What else? Knowing that one person cannot defeat them, you still line them up one by one. This is really a hypocritical act. When you get to the King of Hell, you will be told that you died of stupidity. But I don't blame you for doing this."

Wei Cheng was just a skeleton.

Not to mention the brain, there's no brain matter at all.

Wei Cheng scolded, "...you brat!"

Shen Tang said that Gongxi Chou was not much different from Wei Cheng, and interrupted the two people's argument: "What punishment do you want to deal with? Knowing that he is now at the peak of his power, are you still going to get beaten? Shanyong County is not so important that if it is taken a few days later, the country will be destroyed and the family will be ruined. In this case, just continue the siege and ignore other things. The twentieth-level Chehou can only fight, not ascend to become an immortal and survive by eating wind and drinking dew. Even if he can survive, he is the only one alive in Shanyong County, and the others still have to rely on eating and drinking to survive. People will die if they don't eat!"

What happened before and what happened after.

Weighing the pros and cons, Shen Tang chose to avoid a direct confrontation to reduce losses: "Anyway, I'm not the one who's short of food, why should I panic? The only thing we have to guard against is Luo San taking the initiative to attack and intercept the food... Just withstand this, and don't worry about the rest."

Gong Xiqiu: "..."

Wei Cheng: "... starve them to death?"

Besiege without attacking and cut off food supplies.

To be honest, this strategy reminded him of some bad memories from his youth. Nearly two hundred years had passed, and the means of conquest in troubled times were still the same. In those days, Weicheng had witnessed the defenders of the city relying on the corpses of the common people in the city and the enemies to fill their stomachs and hold on to the end. The victorious side described this as "fighting to the last", and what a terrible nightmare it was for the trapped side.

Shen Tang said: "That depends on what Luo San chooses."

The fire in Wei Cheng's eyes dimmed a little and he felt heavy-hearted.

"How is the situation in Qu Country? Have you encountered any difficulties on the way?" Shen Tang skipped the annoying questions and asked about Lin Feng's experience in Qu Country. Since the last communication, she has not received any information from Lin Feng. Even if she has made what she thinks are perfect preparations in advance and has enough backup plans, she is still worried that there will be unexpected accidents... If God wants her, Shen Tang, to fail, no matter how much she has planned, it will be in vain. "Look at you, you have lost weight."

"Although there were many twists and turns during the period, fortunately there was no major incident."

Lin Feng took out a palm-sized booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Tang. One was a written report and the other was an oral account. He listed in detail the important things he had seen and heard during this period, especially the plot against the princess of King Qu and the two things that Zhai Xiaofang sent people to stop him.

"Xiao Fang's daughter?"

The girl he met that year appeared in Shen Tang's mind.

The other party left a deep impression on her.

"...In the blink of an eye, Xiaofang's daughter has reached this age. The noble families of Qu State are unwilling to do anything that others do. Since they can't do anything to Zhai Xiaofang, they deliberately lead her daughter astray. Tsk--" Shen Tang closed the booklet and said thankfully, "...Xiaofang is still bragging to you about raising a baby, right? It's better not to bring out his little parenting experience and embarrass himself. If he really wants to learn from me, he should learn from me. I am much more foresighted than him..."

Lin Feng: "..."

She always felt that her master's focus was a little off.

Why do we have to compete with each other in parenting?

Seeing that she was puzzled, Shen Tang smiled and mentioned the old things: "Many years ago, well, when you were about eleven or twelve years old, Wuhui gradually let you do things on your own. At that time, you had to deal with some poor and hungry people. I mentioned it to him and asked him to send more people to keep an eye on you."

Lin Feng searched his mind, but still had no impression of it.

"Lingde was still young at the time, and still looked very immature, but in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, he was not young anymore, so we naturally had to guard against bad people. Some people are evil at heart, just wearing a human skin. As long as there is a chance, not to mention hurting 11 or 12-year-old girls, there are also some who hurt 1 or 2-year-old children. Human nature is evil, and these people don't ask for sex, but the power to do evil and the excitement of doing evil. If they can't beat the strong, they will turn around and plunder the young and weak."

Chu Yao and the others didn't take her concerns seriously at first, as they felt that Shen Tang underestimated the power held by a scholar. This power created an insurmountable gap between scholars/warriors and ordinary people. No matter how young Lin Feng was, he had the ability to use the power of words.

Killing an ordinary person is no more difficult than killing a chicken.

But as long as it is the master's idea, they will try their best to do it. Especially after an accident happened, it completely changed their initial cognition-this accident first alarmed Ning Yan, and then was sent to Shen Tang's case.

The first batch of students of Longwu County Academy all came from the lower classes, and there were many orphans among them. A female student asked for leave to go home to help her aunt with the autumn harvest, and in the middle of the night an old widower broke into her house. When this old widower was young, he relied on currying favor with the local landlord to run rampant in the village. After the landlord fell, he kept his tail between his legs and behaved himself for a while, but soon returned to his old ways. This time he had his eyes on this pretty girl, and he had a set of procedures for dealing with people - he would take the initiative as soon as he came in, swinging two sticks at the target's face, and then punching and kicking while the other party was dizzy, and then beating them with violence until they were unable to resist and then doing beastly things.

After all, it was the strength of an adult. Even if the person being beaten didn't die or faint, it would be difficult for him to resist. This female student was luckier than other victims. She had a dagger on her body and a sword under her pillow. Her body tempered by the energy of heaven and earth was stronger than that of an ordinary person. The widower saw that she was motionless and thought she would not wake up in a short time, so he relaxed his vigilance and got stabbed by her.

The widower's screams, like a pig being slaughtered, alarmed other villagers who were sleeping and rushed to rescue the female student. The female student's face was covered with blood, one eye was bruised, and the wound on her head was bleeding. She was unconscious as soon as she was sent to the hospital, and her eyeballs were removed. She stayed at Dong Dao's place for more than half a month before she recovered.

It was not until the opening of the Temple of Medicine that the Xinglin doctor Dong Dao succeeded in his practice and she regained her sight. However, she lost her eyeballs too early, and the facial impairment caused by the abnormal development of her eye sockets was difficult to make up for. She could only wait and see if there was any hope in the future.

[This kind of aggression often begins with violence. As long as there is a huge disparity in strength between individuals, even a scholar with a good character may not be able to save himself.] Ning Yan went to visit the student in person, and was still scared when she came back. From then on, she kept a closer eye on the student. It was a blessing in disguise. The academy paid special attention to this aspect. [My lord, can you deal with this person severely and quickly?]

Shen Tang agreed: [Let him die! ]

It was not a quick death by chopping off the neck, but rather a slow slicing. That day, many common people came to watch the excitement, and the screams of the condemned prisoners rang out from early morning to evening. The common people left only when they were satisfied, and before leaving, they divided up a lot of meat and organs.

We were poor at that time and could only eat meat a few times a year.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

This kind of human flesh also has to be snatched.

[…It seems that it didn’t have much of an effect of warning and educating people.] Shen Tang also watched for a while, and saw the common people snatching the meat and happily going home. There was no joy on her stiff face, [Everyone is more concerned about this person’s meat than why he died…Hey, Yuanliang, we still have a long way to go.]

[One day, the Lord will get what he wants. 】

Although it cannot be completely eliminated, it can be considered a success if there is some effect.

Lin Feng felt warm in her heart. Only now did she realize that her master had put so much thought into things that she couldn't see. She also had a deeper understanding of what happened to the princess of Kingdom Qu - what the princess had suffered was not physical violence, but mental abuse.

Isn’t mental abuse a form of violence?
The essence is the same.

Both use their advantage to hurt the opponent when he is still weak. One is visible physically, and the other is invisible spiritually.

"My Lord is still the best!"

Lin Feng unconsciously used a coquettish tone.

She has been with Shen Tang for a long time, and can be considered to have grown up beside him. To some extent, she can even be considered his daughter. This closeness makes Lin Feng occasionally forget the status of the monarch and his subject, and act like a spoiled child. Shen Tang is also happy to spoil her: "It's good to know."

The warm atmosphere did not last long.

When the two parties meet up, there are many trivial matters to deal with.

The head office and the branch office both knew each other, but it was the first time that the senior executives of both sides had met. Shen Tang wanted to introduce the identities of both parties and let them know each other so that they could get along better later. At the beginning, the atmosphere was quite relaxed and enthusiastic. Both parties had heard of each other. As Shen Tang introduced one person after another, the others were happy to show their support. Especially Lin Feng, who attracted everyone's attention!
"My Lord, this Lady Lin is the disciple of Lord Chu?"

Chu Yao is the first on the list of the second volume of the Biography of Famous Officials and Scholars. Among his interpersonal relationships, there is Lin Feng. It is also emphasized that Lin Feng has the same second-rank upper Wenxin as her teacher, and is also the best among the female officials of Kangguo. According to gossip, this person will be in the third volume!
Gu De and his team had studied and understood the people mentioned in the biographies of famous officials and scholars. Lin Feng was very impressive in terms of age, ability, and other aspects, and naturally became the goddess in the hearts of many young scholars. Seeing the real person unexpectedly, the impact was -

They are not mentally prepared at all!

Shen Tang said proudly: "Yes!"

Gu De and the others didn't react much, but a few of them quietly lowered their heads or avoided the gaze, looking a little shy and uncomfortable.

Shen Tang: "...???"

You are shy as carrots and bananas!
Don't even look down at your age!

Shen Tang subconsciously still thought that Lin Feng was young, but when he really counted, he was not much younger than those people. Seeing that they only had admiration and yearning in their eyes, and no other intentions, Shen Tang did not record them in his little notebook. Wei Cheng claimed to be a free man, and would rather die than serve Shen Tang, so he withdrew early. Shen Tang did not care where he ran to, and skipped Wei Cheng to introduce other people.

No one had much impression of Luo Sha.

The Biography of Famous Officials and Scholars never mentioned the general surnamed Luo. We only know that he joined the Southwest War midway. He had previously lived in seclusion on an isolated island with his tribesmen and only came ashore recently. Judging from his appearance and personality, he should not be difficult to deal with. But they have a lot of opinions about Gongxi Chou!
Especially when Gong Xichou took off his armor.

The air seemed to stagnate, and several gazes were directed at him.

There was a mixture of doubt, shock, astonishment, confusion, anger, and violence in his eyes... Even the temperature of the air rose. Shen Tang glanced at them and suddenly remembered some details that she had overlooked - these generals were recruited by Dubi Fu.

How did the Dubi Trousers come about?
Shen Tang's eyes fell on Gong Xichou who had not yet reacted.

"Ahem -- you two know each other?"

Gong Xichou didn't even think about it: "What do you mean I know him? I don't know him."

Someone immediately stood up, his cheeks flushed with anger, ashamed and incredulous, as if accusing a scum who took advantage of them and walked away: "What do you mean you don't know him? Guai Xiaqiu, tell me what you mean by not knowing him? Tell me - you bastard!"

The breastplate made a creaking sound.

Gong Xichou opened his mouth: "Who are you?"

Really, I have no impression.

Gong Xichou never liked to remember people, except for a few exceptions.
