stand back, let me come

Chapter 1370 1370: He is a captain, but also a poisonous fan (Part ) [Seeking monthly votes]

Miao Ne's 800-mile express arrived before Luo San.

This was within Shen Tang's expectations.

"It's just right, Gongyi is here too, let's take a look together." Shen Tang quickly read through the above content, feeling a headache but also a little relieved. The headache was because if the Central Continent didn't take action, it would be a big move, and the relief was because Miao Ne and the others survived. If the territory is lost, it is lost. As long as people are alive, they can get it back sooner or later. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

I’m afraid that the mountain will be gone and the firewood will be gone too.

Luan Xin only looked at his master's expression and thought it was unexpectedly good news. After reading it, he found that except for Miao Ne and the others who were alive, the rest were bad news. Especially the mysterious archer who attacked Yuan Fujun, this person's ability was too terrifying...

The other warriors are all human, but this guy has stepped into the realm of God!

It's totally not on the same level as others.

Even if his side had effective intelligence, they would not be caught off guard when they encountered him, but he felt that this person was a serious threat and would cause immeasurable losses to his side: "One arrow went, and one arrow did not come? How could there be immortals in the world?"

Shen Tang said: "Then this immortal is not reliable either."

She always felt that there was a paradox here.

The past that this arrow leads to has already happened, so what about the future? It is known that the future of this world has been tied to a time bomb by Yunda, and it will not even last for ten years, let alone a decade. In other words, if the future is a future of destruction, whoever she shoots will die, and if she doesn't kill them, it means that the winner in the future must be Shen Tang.

Cui Mi can see fragments of what will happen in the future.

The wise scribe can also dream of future information.

Now there is a brave warrior who can advance a person by 60 years with one arrow, so it is not worth being surprised. After more exposure to this ability, Shen Tang felt that it was just that. It is worth paying attention to, but not worth treating as a great enemy. It is more of a scare tactic.

Luan Xin just couldn't feel relaxed.

One student escaped, but the fate of the other is unknown.

"Why does this person come and go in captivity?"

Judging from the content of the 800-li urgent message, Miao Ne's party tried to ask for Xiang Zhao to return but to no avail, and was even ridiculed by the warrior. When the party sent envoys to negotiate the redemption of the captives, the enemy either asked for an exorbitant price or had no intention of letting Kangguo redeem Xiang Zhao.

Shen Tang could guess some of Luan Xin's doubts.

Gong Yangyongye had recorded Xiang Zhao's background with himself.

"Go and redeem the person first. If Laiqu is among the captives, they will accept it even if they ask for a huge reward. If he is not among them, then we can discuss the rescue." Shen Tang vaguely skipped over his question. It was not that she was unwilling to tell him, but the cause and effect here was too complicated to explain. The time span was also long. It also involved the Council of Gods and the old almanac at the end of the last human civilization.

Luan Xin volunteered.

"My lord, can this matter be handled by me?" Luan Xin is a typical example of a non-competitive person in the court. Due to the drawbacks of the literati's way, Shen Tang rarely sends him to handle such tasks that require a high level of on-the-spot adaptability, let alone him volunteering.

This abnormality was probably due to what happened to two students.

As a teacher, he couldn't sit still anymore.

Even if he couldn't help them due to the situation, Luan Xin still wanted to meet the enemy. Shen Tang pondered for a few breaths, and finally agreed to Luan Xin's request. In the case of relatively weak intelligence, Luan Xin was indeed the most suitable candidate for the envoy.

"Thank you for your hard work, Gongyi. However, don't set off in a hurry. There is a trend of unity over in the Central Continent, which is different from the previous situation where everyone is busy with their own business. As my right-hand man, you will also be a target of trouble. Go after you have enough people with you."

The war between the two countries had its winners and losers, and it was normal for both sides to redeem their captives. However, Kangguo had just experienced the Southwest War and was seriously dragged down by the chaotic economy of the Southwest Continent, so it urgently needed to recuperate and recover. The enemy took advantage of her unpreparedness to sneak attack Kangguo's enclaves and captured a group of captives as bargaining chips. On the other hand, she had no equivalent captives in her hands, which was a seller's market.

Are people willing to do this "deal"?

Or are you trying to trick people into coming under the guise of negotiation and then rip them off?

Or are you willing to do the "deal" but want to ask for an exorbitant price?

The initiative is entirely in the hands of the enemy.

Kangguo was afraid of the consequences and had to follow the opponent's rhythm.

Just in case, Shen Tang would definitely arrange for Luan Xin to return safely, otherwise she would not let him go.

"My Lord, are you waiting for General Gongshu and General Yun?"

Gong Shuwu has a special form. He can get a short-term living human experience card in the first sixty years, and his strength will be even stronger in the next sixty years.

Wei Cheng lived so many years easily, there is no reason why Gong Shuwu can't do the same. Maybe in the future, an arrow can send him to the rank of 19th-rank Guannei Hou/20th-rank Che Hou. Yun Ce was enlightened by Yun Da's [enlightenment], and the cultivation that the latter gave him has not been fully absorbed. It is hidden in the meridians, which is enough to offset the impact of the past arrow, and the future arrow...

Yun Ce has a face that shows he has a longevity face.

The two of them just need to be wary of the unknown third arrow.

Shen Tang shook his head and showed a sly smile that Luan Xin didn't quite understand, just like a shrewd fox: "It's too late to transfer them here temporarily. I have a better candidate."

"A better candidate?"

For a moment, Luan Xin couldn't think of anyone else.

Shen Tang couldn't help laughing: "Yeah."

Luan Xin suppressed his worry and asked, "When will this person come?"

"Considering the speed, it should be soon. It will come to my door in a day or two." As the original body, Shen Tang naturally knew that the incarnation Zixu tricked Luo San into running errands, and he also knew that Luo San had a mysterious obsession with "Lady Xiahou's usurpation of the throne."

This obsession has become a bit morbid.

To use the words of the fan circle -

"That's a toxic person."

Or a radical toxic fan who is obsessed with his career. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shen Tang is the backbone of Kangguo. Once she is killed, Kangguo will follow the old path of Wuguo, with the northwest and southwest regions once again caught in war and divided by warlords. As a "minister" far away from the court of Kangguo, it is almost impossible for "Xiahou Li" to suppress this situation. Luo San knows this, but he doesn't care.

He only cares about whether Xia Houli can succeed in getting promoted.

Usurp the throne and become the ruler of a country, and then you can slowly manage the rest.

In fact, it is not just Luo San, most people in this world think in this way - if a small country can be isolated and live in peace in a corner, it is considered a success. Unifying the world is unrealistic.

Luan Xin misheard: "Captain? Captain of which place?"

Shen Tang: "..."

Well, Luan Xin didn’t really mishear.

Luo San was indeed the commander of Suginaga County.

He is also Xiahou Li’s toxic fan.

This time, not only did they want to give him the imperial seal, they also wanted to take the opportunity to kill him. Twenty-second, it was better not to tell Luan Xin that the Marquis of Che was coming to assassinate him, so as not to scare him. Shen Tang saw that it was getting dark outside, so he asked Luan Xin to stay for dinner.

"I've come at the right time. My Lord, please invite me to dinner." Shen Tang heard his voice first, and then heard the palace maids singing and shouting. Gu Chi came back from his work with a dusty face, a bit tired, but his mouth was full of energy. Luan Xin hated his frivolous and dissolute look the most, and his eyebrows were twisted into a shape of a river. He said, "You are being disrespectful in front of the emperor and disrespecting the monarch."

Gu Chi rolled his eyes and gave a charming look.

"The master hasn't punished me yet, so it's not presumptuous of you to speak first, right?"

Shen Tang: "..."

There is no doubt that if Gu Chi says a few more words, Luan Xin will hit him in the face with a Huban. Originally, Kangguo only had the northwest continent, and the governance of various places gradually got on the right track. There were fewer quarrels and fights in the court. With the inclusion of the southwest into the territory, the court officials had their own opinions on the governance of various places, and often quarrels broke out in the middle of arguments. You should know that when fighting in the court, these two often secretly did something to each other, either secretly pulling each other's hair crowns, stepping on their feet, pulling their sleeves, or hitting them in the face with Huban.

Luan Xin suffered because of his slow reaction.

But as the Minister of Personnel, he made up for this disadvantage very well.

Because the Ministry of Personnel has the most sufficient staff among the six ministries.

The Censorate is always compiling reports on this and that, so its popularity is not that good, and the circle of friends of the officials in the Censorate is relatively small.

When the two sides fight in a group, they are evenly matched.

Shen Tang coughed lightly, first standing on Gu Chi's side to show concern for his hard work, and then standing on Luan Xin's side to tease Gu Chi for not being dressed very appropriately. Luan Xin just said that to Gu Chi, not entirely because Gu Chi spoke without waiting for the king to be informed, but more because Gu Chi's dress was inappropriate at the moment.

A gentleman dresses properly and looks respectful.

Gu Chi looked like he had hurriedly come from some peaceful place.

His collar was askew, his sword belt was not tied properly, and his sword was worn backwards.

If Qin Li saw this, he would definitely report him!

Gu Chi looked down, smiled and apologized, and asked Shen Tang to borrow the screen in the side hall to adjust his clothes, hair, crown and sword belt. When he came out, the palace maids and eunuchs had already served the meal. There were three tables on the dining table, and each table had three meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and two soups, and each portion was very generous.

Kangguo pursued simplicity from top to bottom, and even the imperial meals were very different from those of the previous dynasty. In the previous dynasty, an imperial meal had at least 36 dishes. Three portions were prepared each time, one for poison testing, one for filing for a few days, and the third portion was sent to the king's table.

The leftovers will not be poured into the swill bucket.

The palace servants would secretly eat the dishes that had been touched by the chopsticks. Those that were far away from the king would be served hot at the next meal, or secretly sent out of the palace to be sold. The palace and the outsiders colluded with corruption. Although it was just a few plates of ordinary imperial meals, the profits were huge. Of course, the biggest profit was in the purchase, with an egg costing five taels and a duck egg costing ten taels.

The Lord has learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty and has taken strict measures in this regard.

She also doesn't like extravagance and waste.

The rules of the Imperial Food Bureau of the Palace Province were changed by force, and it was enough to prepare a combination of meat and vegetables. Over the years, the Imperial Food Bureau gradually understood Shen Tang's taste. Generally, they would prepare three meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and one soup. During festivals, they would follow the old rules when entertaining officials.

When the master invited court officials to dinner, the Imperial Food Bureau would prepare an extra table according to the officials' tastes. For example, Luan Xin would have a pot of wine, while Gu Chi would have a pot of hot milk - the master specifically ordered that Censor Gu should cultivate his character and stop drinking.

Gu Chi lost his appetite when he saw this.

"Master, can't you give me a pot of good wine?"

"It's not that I want Wangchao to stop drinking, it's just that Shaoxuan said that you've been weak lately... you need to take care of yourself and avoid alcohol and spicy food. How can I explain to Shaoxuan that you want wine?"

Gu Chi looked down and saw a table full of dishes that nourish yin and yang.

The amount is so large that a normal person would have nose bleeding after just one look at it.

Gu Chi: "..."

It was humiliating, but I couldn't resist.

Luan Xin was naturally willing to eat with his master, but the presence of Gu Chi, who was an eyesore, ruined his appetite. After finishing the meal leisurely, Luan Xin took the initiative to leave, and he wanted to go back to prepare something. Little did he know that as soon as Luan Xin left, Gu Chi relaxed and complained: "Eating with Luan Gongyi, the delicacies from the mountains and the sea tasted like chewing wax in my mouth. It's too painful."

The effect is comparable to poisoning!

Shen Tang couldn't help laughing and said, "How can it be so exaggerated? However, you were indeed reckless this time. If it wasn't Gongyi but someone else, they would probably have other thoughts. What urgent matter made you rush? You can't really be here to eat the imperial meal."

Gu Chi knew that his master understood him best.

His smile faded and turned into a solemn expression.

"I overheard a villain's thoughts, and he wanted to harm the Lord!" Gu Chi had heard at least 8,000 similar thoughts. He couldn't arrest and convict all of them, judging by their actions, not their intentions. But the thoughts he just heard were different. Not only did they have malicious intentions, they were also ready to take action! How could Gu Chi just sit still?

He came in a hurry to remind his master to be careful of his safety.

Shen Tang knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and pretended to be ignorant and said, "This person is very powerful, how could he make you lose your composure like this?"

"Che Hou, it's the twentieth level of Che Hou cultivation!"

Gu Chi began to doubt his life. These old guys were either half buried in the ground or had been buried there for years. Why did they emerge like mushrooms after rain in the past two years? And it was Old Deng who wanted to kill his master!

"This person will use the opportunity of offering the national seal to launch a surprise attack on the Lord!"

Strike first, it is easy to alert the enemy, and it will be difficult to catch him later. Gu Chi's plan is to find a personal guard to dress up as the master, arrange elite troops to ambush underground in the palace, and lay a net. Even a 20th-rank Chehou can be caught once!

Shen Tang smiled and said, "The plan is fine, but it won't work."

As a shrewd person, Gu Chi had several guesses in his mind when he saw that Shen Tang was not surprised by Marquis You Che's assassination attempt on her.

The Lord should have known about this a long time ago!

Not only did she know, she was also confident that she would win!

Judging from the situation, this disaster will most likely be a safe one.

Gu Chi's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he smiled and said, "The Lord knew about it a long time ago? Then do you know who sent him to assassinate you?"

"No one sent him, but he is Zixu's man."

Gu Chi was stunned: "Zixu's people?"

The lord's incarnation instigated the people around him to assassinate him?

Gu Chi thought of thousands of possibilities, but he never thought of such an abstract reason. Shen Tang smiled helplessly and said, "He is always trying to instigate Zixu to usurp my position. I tried to explain to him, but he didn't listen. He has his own set of self-consistent logic. What can I do?"

seeing is believing.

Shen Tang is also preparing to meet Luo Sanzhen.

The 20th-rank Chehou is very proud, and only by treating the symptoms can you have a chance to subdue him. Luo San's biggest weakness is that he is a career-minded brain poison.

And Shen Tang——

The best of the best, the best of the best!

_(:ι」∠)_

Sometimes I think my mother is really amazing. In order to prepare for the New Year's look, dye her hair and so on, she goes out at ten o'clock and comes back at ten o'clock, a full twelve hours.

This is all sitting still.
