stand back, let me come

Chapter 1402: Combat Reconnaissance (Part 1402) [Seeking monthly votes]

Kangguo, the royal capital, Fengluo City.

Shen Tang returned to the royal court reeking of alcohol.

But I saw someone in the bedroom who shouldn't be there.

She first suspected that she had gone to the wrong place because she was drunk, so she took a step back and looked up at the plaque to make sure she had not walked into the wrong door. Then she pushed the door open and walked in: "At this time, a man and a woman are alone in the same room. Can I assume that the high priest is ready to offer himself to the bed?"

If the censor knew that Jimo Qiu appeared in the palace in the middle of the night, Shen Tang could imagine that there would be a lot of scandals. Maybe the civil and military officials would force Jimo Qiu to enter the palace, and even if he didn't enter the palace, he would never get married again.

Jimo Qiu still had the coolness of the night wind on his body.

Facing Shen Tang's drunken teasing, Jimo Qiu just stepped forward and helped her sit down. Shen Tang sat cross-legged for a while, closing her eyes to suppress the heat caused by the drunkenness. She opened her eyes only after her mind was calm. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Jimo Qiu's overlapping figures, one real and two virtual heads swaying in front of her. She shook her head, and could vaguely hear her mind filling up with water: "I won't drink more next time."

Jimo Qiu opened the cup of sobering soup.

Shen Tang stared at the thing for a while, and his right hand missed twice: "...It's all Wei Lou and Luo San's fault...a few old men, old enough...still so competitive, why not compete in anything else...but they have to compete in drinking, they made me want to vomit."

Seeing this, Jimo Qiu took the initiative to bring the sobering soup to Shen Tang's mouth.

If she were to come by herself, at least half of the cup would be wasted.

"It's fine that a few reckless men are keen on drinking, but why does Your Highness also get drunk?" Jimo Qiu watched as the sobering soup was gone, and placed his cool fingertips on his scalding forehead. He concentrated his spiritual power on his fingertips, circulating it through his meridians to relieve the discomfort brought by the drunkenness.

Shen Tang looked at the beam with lifeless eyes.

"I don't know. I suddenly want to drink."

Today is indeed a little unusual.

In the first few years of her time travel, Shen Tang was drunk, and even a child could kill her in seconds. Later, after killing the evil thoughts, Shen Tang's alcohol tolerance was completely lifted. But she didn't like the effect of alcohol on her brain, so she always drank in moderation. Occasionally, if she indulged once or twice, she would use martial arts to dissolve the alcohol and keep her brain awake. Tonight, for some reason, she just wanted to get drunk.

Gongyang Yongye and several other old men probably wanted to see her make a fool of herself, so they kept urging her to drink and play rock-paper-scissors. She didn't even remember how much she drank. She only remembered that when she climbed out of the restaurant window, her legs were a little shaky and she kept seeing double.

Shen Tang relaxed and rested his head on his knees.

If it weren't for Jimo Qiu's amazing hearing, he would have ignored Shen Tang's murmur, "I feel inexplicably unhappy."

It was obvious that Gong Yang Yongye and his friends became more and more excited the more they drank.

Shen Tang did the opposite.

She carefully reviewed recent events. Although things were not going well, they were not serious enough to make her emo. Shen Tang couldn't figure it out. She was worried that she was sick. After more than a decade of ups and downs, it was normal for her to suffer from mental illness: "Am I depressed?"

Jimo Qiu: “No.”

He knew why Shen Tang was depressed.

"Your Highness...did you see the snow tonight?"

Jimo Qiu clearly felt Shen Tang's body stiffen for a moment, and after a while she sighed: "Yes, it's Meng Yuan's sister... I don't agree with her behavior, but when I saw her committing suicide, I inexplicably felt that it shouldn't be like this..."

She had a chance to embrace hope, even though it was wrapped in thick thorns and would inevitably leave her bruised and battered. Shen Tang still hoped that the other party would do as she wished. In the end, she embraced death and took away many innocent lives...

Shen Tang sat up straight: "Why is it so?"

She was still very drunk at the moment, and had forgotten to tell Jimo Qiu what happened. But she said nothing, and the high priest knew why. He had seen similar scenes countless times: "Every time a believer dies, it snows in the temple."

The weather will truly reflect the mood of the gods.

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment, then regained some clarity of mind.

“…But they are not believers.”

Jimo Qiu: "But they carry divine blood."

Rather than calling it divine blood, it is more like a mark, just like pet owners will put an item with the owner's information on their pets. If the pet goes out one day, outsiders will know that it has an owner when they see the item: "Divine blood is not a dead thing. If Your Highness does not approve or is unwilling, the scattered divine blood can be taken back at any time."

Without the tacit consent of God, could a group of humans extract gene fragments from her and implant them into other life forms?

This special gene can be extracted, transferred, and continued, and it has not been recovered for thousands of years. Is there any need to explain the meaning behind it?

Shen Tang grabbed her hair, and her already loose hair became a mess: "Having divine blood doesn't mean you are a believer..."

Suddenly he thought of something and shut up.

According to my limited memory, this deity is rebellious and willful. Regardless of whether her followers believe in her or not, she only likes people with personality. The more temperamental the person, the more she likes him.

It's normal to feel sad when the little man disappears.

Shen Tang used his chaotic brain to come to the above conclusion, and then doubted: "This is not right. If people with this bloodline die, it will snow when they are sad, then why haven't I heard of this phenomenon many times?"

Before the gods settle accounts, this group will be quite large.

If it snows every time someone dies, and if it snows regardless of the season, then county annals should record it frequently.

Jimo Qiu: "Because His Highness saw it this time."

A pet that ran away from home died outside. The gods did not see it, so they naturally would not give any feedback on the celestial phenomena. Jimo Qiu was originally preparing to take off his clothes and go to bed, but the wooden stick kept moving. He counted with his fingers and realized what happened, so he specially cooked a hangover soup.

"...I see. I thought it was Dou E's injustice."

In terms of injustice, they are indeed comparable to Dou E.

I just didn't expect the root cause would be her.

After a heavy sweat, Shen Tang regained her clarity of mind. She moved her body and found that the sticky touch made her feel uncomfortable, as if there were ants crawling on her body. She stood up and asked the palace servants to prepare hot water, ready to take a bath before going to bed.

The guard on the beam: "..."

Why hasn't the high priest left yet?

Shen Tang, who was about to take off his clothes, also turned his head to look at Jimo Qiu.

However, Jimo Qiu just stretched out his hand, and Shen Tang subconsciously handed over the clothes after seeing his action. As a result, the air was silent for a few breaths, and Shen Tang realized that the other party wanted to help him bathe: "High Priest, this... is not convenient for you, right?"

"What's inconvenient?"

Jimo Qiu folded and hung the clothes skillfully.

"You are His Royal Highness and the Lord of the Country."

There is no gender, so there is no difference between men and women.

Regardless of her status as a highness or a ruler, all beings other than her were inhuman. Inhumans had no qualifications and no courage to have primitive impulses towards her body. Jimo Qiu did not think there was anything wrong with this action.

Shen Tang: "..."

She was accustomed to having secret guards on duty around her and palace maids and eunuchs in various palaces, but Jimo Qiu... um, it was the first time.

Looking at the misty water, she realized that Jimo Qiu seemed to be in a bad mood: "Can you tell me the reason?"

Shen Tang asked and he answered.

"Wait until Your Highness unifies the country and take back the divine blood."

"Take back... the divine blood?"

Jimo Qiu sprinkled various colored powders into the bathtub like he was boiling soup. The bathtub turned red and green, and finally turned into a milky white color that looked delicious. While sprinkling the powders, he said, "The last time His Highness fell, it was because of our clansmen..."

His Highness had no restraint in keeping "pets" in the past, and this time he even allowed the divine blood to be left outside at will, and he raised a large number of them.

Fortunately, these "pets" were not very good and had a hard life, so they didn't cause too much trouble for His Highness. If they had seized an opportunity, they would have left the planet long ago and caused troubles everywhere. All these causes and effects would be attributed to her in the end. Shen Tang was a little confused.

"…Is it that serious?"

Jimo Qiu's voice was unusually cold and stern: "Let's not talk about your Highness's 'believers'. If your Highness sends envoys from other countries, no matter how much trouble the envoys cause, will the blame be placed on Kangguo?"

Shen Tang nodded: "Then it must be Kangguo who will pay for it."

According to this logic -

If a “pet” gets into trouble outside, the owner will pay the price.

The law of nature may punish "pets", but before punishing the "pets", it must first settle accounts with the owners of the "pets".

"Your Highness doesn't want to fail again in the tribulation, right?"

"Look, you said, 'I' haven't succeeded before?"

There was an inexplicable and strange curve at the corner of Jimo Qiu's lips.

"No one in your family succeeded."

The success rate of the entire household registration book in overcoming the tribulation is zero.

This record would be explosive in any era.

Shen Tang: "..."

Jimo Qiu seemed to have said this before, and it was still very impactful to hear it again. But she didn't know how to take back the divine blood. After all, she was just Shen Tang, not the divine spirit that Jimo Qiu mentioned. He said that he would take it back after unification, but it was too early to mention this now.

"What will happen if I take back the divine blood?"

What will happen to people who carry this special gene?

“Will those people die?”

"No, it's just that I lack the favor of God."

"It's equivalent to losing a layer of luck buff bonus?" Shen Tang was relieved. "After saying so much, what does the high priest want?"

She was abnormal today, and Jimo Qiu seemed even more abnormal.

The high priest said nothing, but turned his head and pressed his cold cheek against Shen Tang's wet palm. The hot steam from the bathtub cast a hazy veil over his eyes, but it couldn't hide the piety behind his starry eyes: "I beg Your Highness to see through the calamity and grant me the morning and evening."

His words were automatically translated into the following by Shen Tang:

Try your best to become the first college student in the village to successfully overcome the tribulation.

_(:з　∠)_

Shen Tang, who was originally very confident, instantly felt better.

The social animal slept for an hour before being gently awakened by a palace servant. With half-opened sleepy eyes, she allowed the palace servant to help her wash and dress, and even ate breakfast in a sleepwalking state. The high priest's hangover soup was very effective, but the headache after the hangover still made her suffer a great sin.

For some reason I had the urge to hug myself and take a nap.

"Can't I just sleep a little longer?" Just like in a TV drama, an eunuch was sent out to shout "If you have something to report, get up; if not, leave the court." The civil and military officials looked at each other in silence, and then Shen Tang could naturally get a half-day vacation. The plan was perfect.

But working people just want to be 007.

There was not much controversy at today's meeting.

More than 20 officials came out one after another to present their memorials. They discussed what needed to be discussed, agreed what needed to be agreed, and rejected what needed to be rejected. The court meeting process came to a smooth end. Usually Shen Tang would ask a few more questions. If there was something to say, they would continue. If not, they would disperse and go to the corridor to eat food to replenish their energy.

Until an official came forward with the courage to do so.

The core meaning is that I hope the master can pay attention to ethics.

Some things cannot be said properly unless the name is right.

"I dare to ask the Lord to confer the title of Shijun on Jimo."

It would be bad if it got out that I stayed in the palace every day without any name or status.

Don't ask him how he knows this.

Because he had discovered that there were problems with Jimo Qiu's registration times for entering and leaving the palace when he was on duty last night, and because the story of the master and Jimo Qiu being brothers was spreading like wildfire among the people, the official felt that as a subject he had an obligation to remind the master - remember to be responsible after sleeping with him.

You can't do something like lifting a skirt and ignoring someone.

Shen Tang: "..."

Clank, clank, someone's tablet fell to the ground.

The expressions of the civil and military ministers were quite interesting.

Chu Yao lifted the hem of his official robe with one hand and bent down to pick up the tablet that had fallen on the ground. He happened to meet the eyes of another person.

The Grand Tutor's tablet lay quietly on the ground, with one corner of it broken.

Shen Tang finally understood what it meant to jump into the Yellow River and never get rid of the guilt: "...I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious."

"If the external enemies are not eliminated and the internal troubles are not resolved, how can we have a home?"

"My Lord, family affairs are also state affairs!"

This is not "starting a family", this is "establishing a country"!

Shen Tang: "..."

It used to take half a month, but it was so fast that it seemed like the progress bar was full, and everything was done in just three days. The Ministry of Revenue stopped making things difficult, the Ministry of War stopped procrastinating, the Ministry of Works gave everything it wanted, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice pretended to be very busy, and the Ministry of Personnel gave this year's official assessment indicators half a year in advance - some officials faced the most biased test questions in history.

The harmony between the civil and military officials was unprecedented.

Shen Tang: "..."

Wouldn't there be no problem if we had such tacit understanding earlier?

Complaints aside, Kangguo's response was indeed fast enough. From the preparation and deployment to the dispatch of troops, it took less than a month. The army was divided into three groups and set out one after another. The front lines received martial law news in advance to prevent the enemy from attacking the pass. If the Central Alliance had any intention of testing the situation before, when Sister Tan Ting blew up the mountain, these people could not wait any longer.

Shen Tang also learned about this from the Cheetah Warrior.

[…In recent years, the Central Branch families have spent a huge amount of money to go deep into the people, searching for all the bloodlines in the Northeast, Southeast, and Central regions. Everyone is here. Due to some special reasons, the Southwest and Northwest have not yet been infiltrated…]

【Is this all?】

Madam Shen can also prove this: [Yes.]

Shen Tang didn't quite believe that there were only these people, but then he thought it made sense. You have to know that the main society of the Gods Society spent thousands of years to kill all these people in private, and screened them again and again. In addition, the inheritance was special - if a female child could not be born, it meant that the branch line would be cut off. Over time, there really weren't many people left in this group.

The central branch can only focus on the northwest and southwest.

This war is no longer simply about clearing out Kangguo, which wants to unify the continent, but also about the special bloodline living within Kangguo.

[…I’ll give you a chance to save your life. Send Meng Yuan to the frontline as quickly as possible. Some people should pay with blood!] Wu You did not kill the Cheetah Warrior. After saying this, he looked at Tan Ting and said, [Meng Yuan, can you still cheer up now?]

Tan Ting pulled out the dagger from the corpse and wiped the blood off with his palm: [I will destroy the Central Branch Society, leaving no one alive.]
