stand back, let me come

Chapter 1360: Professional Silly Man [asking for monthly ticket]

Shen Tang was sure that he had never dug up the other party's ancestral grave.

It's not that her moral standards have improved, but that her branch in the Central Continent has a sufficient budget. There are not many wealthy tombs in the area she currently operates. The cost-effectiveness of digging graves before they are fully developed is too low. It is not profitable, and it is easy to offend the descendants of the ancestral tombs, which adds a bit of difficulty to her entrepreneurial path. If we deny the speculation of digging ancestral tombs, the remaining answer is clear at a glance.

"It's probably related to Gongxi Chou."

Half a day later, Shen Tang silently deleted the word "mostly".

She captured the enemy scout and obtained an important piece of information from the intelligence the scout brought with him - the capital of Qi Kingdom had fallen, the ruler was hanging in the balance, and hoped that people of insight would go to the king's defense, and one day he might be crowned king. Shen Tang read the intercepted message over and over again, but still had one question in mind: "Yourong, didn't they say that the ruler of Qi Kingdom was not doing a good job?"

Gong Xichou really went straight to push Shuijing.

Shen Tang was speechless for a long while and could only sigh.

Sometimes, she didn't want to understand Gong Xichou's train of thought so well, because it made her look like an abnormal person. But the matter was done, and if she wanted to strangle Gong Xichou again, she had to wait until the two sides met. There was no point in being angry now except to make herself angry.

Putting aside the fact that Gong Xichou pushed Shuijing hard, Shen Tang forced himself to divert his attention and noticed a strange detail.

"These days, destroying a country and establishing one is as easy as sleeping. The ruler of Qi is an unpopular tyrant. Why is it that when he is captured, the whole country of Qi is in an uproar and trying to protect him? Is it because of the temptation of 'dividing the land and becoming a king'? This is unscientific." If Zheng Qiao knew about this in his afterlife, he would shed tears of envy. Why did the ruler of Qi have this treatment while he didn't?

The territory of Qi State cannot be compared with that of Geng State back then.

Zheng Qiao fulfilled his promise without any compromise - if there was no Heyin County, Shen Tang might not have had the opportunity to grow up in peace for two years - on the other hand, if Qiguo was divided into more than a dozen pieces, it would be too fragmented to look at. This little temptation is not attractive to these forces who have their own troops and are entrenched in various places as local emperors, and there is no need to fight for a little profit.

Gu De also frowned and guessed: "...Maybe General Gongxi did something out of the ordinary in the capital of Qi Kingdom?"

Shen Tang asked back: "Dig up someone's ancestral grave?"

The possibility of this is almost zero.

Gong Xichou was indeed capable of digging up people's ancestral graves, but there were not many ancestral graves of big clans in the capital. People's ancestral graves were all in their respective hometowns and clans. Even if someone died in the capital, the body would be carried back to the clan for burial. At most, a worthless cenotaph would be built in the capital. Gong Xichou dug up all these graves, and the warlords with vested interests would not be so desperate.

Shen Tang and his friends were puzzled.

But what is certain is that Gong Xichou must have done something even bigger!
The martial energy surged from his palm, shattering the information into dust: "Forget it, I don't want to think too much, it gives me a headache. No matter what Gong Xichou did, it is certain that these enemies are going after him. They are enemies! Whoever attacks Gong Xichou, we will attack him!"

You're going to be beaten anyway, so why bother finding out why?

"Yourong, order the entire army to rest for half an hour. Eat, drink, and poop. Make sure to adjust to the best condition! We will surround the capital now and fight whoever comes!"

Gu De bowed and accepted the order: "Yes!"

"Instead of taking the opportunity to join the main force, you want to stop the enemy reinforcements?" Luo San said that he had not seen such a reckless warrior for many years.

Gong Xichou commanded the main forces of the three armies. Even if the capital was besieged by troops from all directions, he still had the capital's high walls and deep moats to rely on.

Who can make him suffer?

On the contrary, Lady Xiahou's army was far smaller than the main force, and they had been rushing to support and catch up with the main force for several days without rest. No matter how good the elite soldiers under her were, they were not made of iron. Now they were preparing to stop the excited warlords?

Aren't you afraid of getting stuck in a war of attrition and losing your elite troops?
Shen Tang: "Isn't this a form of siege and attack?"

Luo San's face darkened as he recalled some bad memories.

Shen Tang is well versed in the ways of the world: "Isn't there Luo Hou here? What's there to be afraid of if they are just a bunch of rabble, even if they are several times more numerous?"

"I'm afraid my help to you is limited."

His peak strength was not something he could use whenever he wanted. If not, Shen Tang would not have come back that night. He had been following the logistics battalions, and he delayed the attack that night until Shen Tang led his troops to the scene in time to resolve the crisis.

"Has Luo Hou ever thought of fixing a match?"

"A match-fixing?"

"For example, your enemy now is me."

Luo San: "..."

This is an angle I never thought of.

Shen Tang was curious: "Has Luo Hou never thought of doing this?"

As long as Luo San is assigned a master as a partner, theoretically the restrictions should be lifted at any time. Anyway, there is no rule that the opponent cannot be a teammate. She was just surprised that Luo San could not think of this?
Luo San said calmly, "I look down on those with lower strength. Those with slightly higher strength will not be willing to stay in the small Shanyong County. As for those with higher strength... do you think they will help me or kill me? How can there be no enemies in troubled times?"

The eleventh-rank right guard can also live a good life.

He doesn't need to seek death.

Shen Tang: "...So, this method can be used?"

Luo San nodded: "Let's try it later."

"Let Marquis Wei help you?"

"It can't be him."

His situation is very unique.

He could only maintain his peak state for ten days, after which it would be half depleted, and in another ten days it would degenerate to its current level, and could not be activated a second time. In other words, he could only use this ability once a month, and the decline period was when he was at his weakest.

As long as you don't restore your full strength, the side effects won't be that strong.

Luo San had just recovered from his last bout of weakness.

Shen Tang volunteered: "Then I'll do it?"

Luo San said: "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"

Different warlords will not join forces to fight. As long as they don't rush in at once, why would they need to do so? The two eighteenth-rank great generals are too talented and underutilized, which is really giving these warlords face. Hearing this, Shen Tang did not continue to force Luo San.

She knew very well that Lao Deng was not telling the truth.

After Shen Tang and Gu De studied the topography of the capital, they chose a pass and waited for the enemy to come. Judging from the topography, as long as these warlords did not follow the same two-point and one-line marching route as Gong Xichou, most of them would pass by this place. "Here comes the work!"

In just a few days, the situation in Qi State changed completely.

The soldiers and horses in various parts of the capital were almost going crazy.

Who would understand? One day I woke up and was told that the royal capital had been taken over.

[What crime should be committed by spreading rumors and misleading the public and reporting false military intelligence? ]

The general who got the news kicked the soldier who spread the false news far away, still feeling angry and cursing. If he hadn't restrained his strength, the kick would have killed the soldier. What does it mean that the capital has fallen? For the capital to fall, there must be an enemy.

Which one is the enemy?
How did the enemy bypass me and head straight to the capital?

Something happened in the capital, how could there not be some noise from the beacon fire? I slept soundly last night and didn't hear anything.

As a result, something even more embarrassing happened.

The envoy who came from the capital to ask for help was in such a state of disgrace that he almost rolled off his horse and burst into tears when he saw the general. The general and this man were of the same age, and they knew each other well. This attitude of the other party made him panic.

[Hurry up, what is this for? ]

[General, please consider our friendship as classmates and your majesty's kindness in promoting us in the past, and quickly lead your troops to relieve the capital from its predicament.]

The general was stunned for a moment: [No, what's going on? ]

The scholar sped all the way, and his hair crown was lost somewhere, his neatly trimmed beard was half burnt by the fire, his clothes were torn in dozens of places, and his whole face was smoked and burned, no longer looking like his usual elegance.

When had the general ever seen the other side in such a miserable state?

The messenger nearly over-breathed.

It took him a long time to recover from the intense palpitations. He wiped the sweat off his face and told his story in a hoarse voice. A group of thieves attacked the capital and broke into the inner court. All the royal family members and nobles in the capital were captured. The thieves also killed all the imperial guards in the palace and captured the king alive. They hung the king's flag on the flag and used it as a battle flag, openly humiliating the Qi Kingdom.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The messenger couldn't help blushing when he mentioned it.

Yagen trembled and said: [A gentleman can be killed, but not humiliated. ]

This is even worse than digging up one's ancestors' graves!

When he heard that the king was captured alive and that no one in the royal family was spared, he knew that Qiguo could not be saved and it was the end. He pretended to be indignant on the surface, but his heart was calm. He had to get used to the destruction of a country. Until he heard that the thief not only ordered his men to hang the king on the big flag, but also openly challenged him to send troops to the capital, his anger suddenly rose, and he said angrily: [Really? ]

【It is absolutely true, I dare not say a single word falsely. 】

[Okay, okay—]

The general said "good" three times in a row.

With one slap, he smashed the stone table beside him into powder. His roar was so loud that it stopped the clouds from moving. It even frightened the birds on the eaves so much that they fell to the ground. His face was red with anger: [I want to see how much of a bastard this villain is! How dare he challenge the hero like this! ]

This battle has to be fought!
However, there are some details that you should ask about before making the call.

[Which route are the enemies coming from? Where are they passing through to reach the capital? To be honest, there is no movement here...] Recently, because the king wanted to take control of the military power in the capital, he also wanted to transfer the border troops to the imperial army, which was opposed by many people. Many noble families were dissatisfied, and the generals were one of them. However, he dared to say in his conscience that he had opinions, but he really didn't want to change the king, and it was impossible for him to secretly facilitate the rebels.

If it's not him, then it must be someone else?
I just don't know which one it is.

[At first I didn't know her identity, but later I saw the large banner decoration...] The messenger said with certainty, [It's that Xia Houli!]

The general said: [Xia Houli? It was him? ]

As we all know, he is a grassroots peasant.

Back then, he killed a useless second-generation rich kid, took his identity, and used the second-generation rich kid's official credentials to take up a local post. The second-generation rich kid's family heard that their son was working diligently and conscientiously, as if he had been reborn and made a new life. They were relieved and sent people to visit and comfort him. This accidentally exposed the evil act of this person's impersonation.

This person not only does not fear the laws of the country, but also brazenly occupies land and acts as a king.

The royal court sent troops to suppress the bandits several times, but not only did they fail to completely kill them, but they watched them grow stronger little by little. In addition, there were a lot of internal problems in Qi State, the military was seriously corrupt, and the cost of suppressing the bandits was too high, so the matter was left unresolved. After that, this group of thieves gradually became quiet, and recently they have become active again, but they didn't expect that this group of thieves would break into the royal capital and change the dynasty...

A peasant with no direct interests in any of the forces...

Who exactly gave convenience to this person?

The generals were puzzled.

This problem does not solve his inner anxiety.

There is a traitor in the team. How can he raise his troops to rescue the king without finding out who the traitor is in collusion with the outsiders?
The messenger continued: [It seems that the thieves did not borrow a passage through the checkpoints in the capital, but appeared directly from the sky. 】

General: [Falling from the sky? Appearing out of thin air? ]

Why don't you say that these bandits were transformed by [scattering beans to create soldiers]?
The messenger couldn't explain it clearly either.

The enemy's marching route remains a mystery.

The general considered carefully and decided to send troops to the capital. The weather when he set out was just like his face at the moment. He said gloomily: […If your majesty is willing to commit suicide and die for the country, there won’t be so many problems. ]

It's shameful not to die when you should.

Similar scenes occurred everywhere.

The whole Qi Kingdom was as lively as a frying pan filled with water, with oil splashing and crackling. Everyone was prepared to break into the capital, give the thief Xiahou Li a slap, and then give the disgraced king eighteen slaps - twist off their heads, and neither of them will survive!

Before arriving at Gongxi Chou, the army was in high spirits and full of confidence.

Some lucky people who were fast on their feet arrived at the foot of the royal city first. They looked up and saw the flags flying on the city wall. Going up, they saw a green dragon python that was comparable to a prehistoric beast perched on the top of the city tower, with a pair of golden snake eyes staring at everyone coldly. On the top of the dragon python, between its two huge horns, stood a man wearing half a set of armor, with his hands folded across his chest, looking down at everyone with contempt.

"Here we go, ant."

With just four casual words, the reinforcements under the city were in an uproar.

On the city wall, several generals felt a numbness rushing from their tailbone straight to their brains, and they wanted to bang the parapet to vent their excitement. With bright eyes, they said happily: "Damn, it's Gong Xichou's mouth. I didn't know it could be so cool!"

In the past, they were the ones who were attacked by Gongxi. Now, watching Gongxi attack others, he made the whole army excited before the fight even started. Who wouldn't envy such a skill? What's more, for example, the general with rope darts, she couldn't help but muttered: "I wish I could be like General Gongxi in my life, and one day I would cross my arms and say to everyone, ant..."

I can’t imagine how happy I will be!

Xiahou Yu closed his eyes, not daring to think about how many generals from Quqing Academy would defect to Gongxichou after this incident, or how many would defect willingly: "My Lord, when can you come?"

If you don’t come soon, Gong Xichou will really destroy your house.

He can't be tied up, he can't be tied up at all!

"You bastard, who are you calling an ant?"

A burly and brave general emerged from the ranks of the reinforcements.

This man was born terrifying, and the weapon in his hand weighs a thousand pounds.

He leaped a hundred feet high under the city wall, and rushed towards Gong Xichou on the city wall like a meteor falling to the ground. The phantom of an eagle turned into a pair of giant wings behind him. The cry was so loud that it stopped the clouds, and the horses in the battle array of both sides seemed to be uneasy.

Gongxi, a professional villain, Qiu blocked it with just two fingers.

With a snap of his fingers, metal and stone make a clanging sound.

The challenger's expression changed drastically!
