stand back, let me come

Chapter 1439: New Successor (Part 1439) [Seeking monthly votes]

Shen Tang was thinking seriously.

After a few moments of thinking, there was no result.

The new members who had just joined were unsure of what Shen Tang meant by this expression. They were confused and shocked. Just when they thought Shen Tang was going to go back on his word, Shen Tang said seriously, "People with your abilities... are talented and arrogant, and don't like to be driven by others. I didn't expect to have you guys as my account..."

The expressions of several people were a little subtle.

The situation has been decided and the matter has been settled.

Why is Shen Youli talking nonsense now?

What does "I didn't expect to have you guys as my account" mean? Even if she couldn't help showing off, she shouldn't have told them, right?

"…I just don't know why you guys changed your minds?"

"It is because the master has extraordinary talent."

You can't say that it's because you're afraid of some damn poisonous insect, right?

The era they lived in was very close to the Wu Kingdom. They had either seen the Wu Kingdom with their own eyes or heard about it from their elders who had experienced everything. Others had to go through a long process of accumulation to start from scratch, but the Wu Kingdom was different. It started with a king bomb, elite soldiers and brave generals, and it was invincible. All this was inseparable from the Wu Kingdom Gu disaster. In addition, there were other Gu insects on the battlefield of the Wu Kingdom.

Those who witnessed it can’t help but shudder when they recall the events of that year.

Shen Tang colluded with Gong Yang Yongye and made the latter swallow the poisonous insect in front of them. The effect was immediate! Isn't it a blatant threat? Threatening them to obey Kang Guo's tyranny! As long as Kang Guo wanted, as long as Shen Tang was willing, they could quietly put the poisonous insect sugar pills in anything they could eat, water or food! It's hard to guard against!

They can go without food and water for a few days, but can they go without food and water for a lifetime? A thief can be thieves for a thousand days, but you can never be thieves for a thousand days.

Staying here, Kangguo will have plenty of opportunities to make moves.

So what if they would rather die than obey?

Are there no poisonous insects in Kangguo that can control puppet corpses?

If they surrendered voluntarily, they would at least be considered as one of Kangguo's own people. They openly refused the Gu Chong Tang Wan. Even if Shen Youli regretted it afterwards, she should have considered the opinions of other Kangguo civil and military officials if she wanted to put the Gu on them, right? If this scandal was exposed, it would not be good for her either.

To sum up, surrender is the safest option.

The initiative is still in your hands.

Of course, these ideas cannot be exported directly.

No need to ask, the answer is that she has extraordinary talent, a peerless hero, a purple star from heaven, the end of troubled times, and she is a leader who can convince them. It is because of her charm that their attitudes change 180 degrees!

These words were spoken forcefully and sincerely.

Shen Tang opened his mouth and scratched his cheek awkwardly.

"Haha, you guys have good vision!"

She was the only one who praised people directly, but she was rarely flattered so directly. If Shen Tang continued to question the other party's motives, it would hurt their feelings.

Shen Tang sent the person who took the poisonous insect sugar pill to the southwest.

The remaining three remained in the army on standby for service.

This arrangement made the three of them look a little strange, but at the same time they secretly breathed a sigh of relief - glad that they had made the right choice.

Shen Youli is not a gentleman, and is always ready to turn against her. If they had believed her lies just now, they would have been plotted against by now. After they expressed their submission, she was still on guard, but she sent the unlucky guy in shackles to the southwest. In name, it was an appointment, but in essence, it was no different from imprisonment. I am the fish on the chopping board!

Fortunately, their surrender left her with no excuse to cast the curse.

With the addition of several brave warriors who could fight and be sweet, Shen Tang was naturally in a good mood. He immediately sent people to arrange tents for them, and the food and accommodation were the best, showing the hospitality of a great country. Little did they know that they had to be trembling with fear for a long time when eating and drinking, for fear that some "condiments" were added. He personally went to boil water and hunt for food, and endured eating and drinking as much as possible.

Gongyang Yongye didn't expect it to end so easily.

"Tsk, what a loss."

If he had known that they were weak at the knees, why would he have tried so hard to protect them?

He rubbed the Danfu position and asked Jimo Qiu if he could take out the Danfu Gu worm. It was not that he was worried about being plotted against - he was now fighting for Kangguo, and the interests of both sides were the same. As long as the surname Shen was not sick, there was no need to cut off his arm - but it was that such a thing lying in the most private part of his body, he always felt that it was not very comfortable.

Jimo Qiu remained silent, and Gongyang Yongye was stunned for a moment.

"Don't tell me you can't get it out."

Jimo Qiu sincerely said: "It is possible to take it out, but this kind of Gu worm is very expensive, wouldn't it be a waste if we take it out?"

"Are you after money? I'll compensate you."

"It can save your life at a critical moment."

Jimo Qiu said that it was not a question of money, but a question of the energy consumed in refining this kind of Gu worm. Except that the Danfu would be controlled by itself to close or open the gate, it had no other disadvantages, only advantages. Including but not limited to, during the existence of the Gu worm, if the Wudan was damaged, it could speed up the recovery, and it also had the effect of strengthening the foundation. After several battles, Gongyang Yongye's spirit gradually recovered, and maybe one day he would be able to impact the Chehou realm.

Keeping it might help with the impact.

Gong Yang Yongye was skeptical: "Really?"

Look, this isn't a bad insect.

Jimo Qiu said: "That is absolutely true."

Gong Yangyongye was somewhat shaken.

"Besides this, does it have any other benefits?"

Jimo Qiu took out a notebook from somewhere.

"Tattooing Danfu?"

Gong Yang Yongye: "..."

"It can also add luxurious dark patterns to your martial armor. Not only that, it can also increase the playability of your martial arts totem... If you activate your martial energy, you can also make the tattoo float on your body surface, which is very gorgeous." You can tattoo your entire body painlessly, and the patterns are flexible.

This notebook was given to him by his teacher. It was filled with the various wonderful uses of poisonous insects, and also had the annotations and experiences of several high priests.

Jimo Qiu also took one on his own initiative.

After a little movement, a platinum tattoo really appeared on the wrist.

Under the gaze of Gong Yangyongye and the others, the color of the tattoo gradually deepened from platinum to red, and the shape gradually shaped into a dot, like a fish swimming under the fragile ice, looming. It swam up Jimoqiu's arm, crawling up his neck and cheek.

Finally it settles at the center of the eyebrows.

The dots are elongated into an elongated diamond pattern.

It can even stretch out and turn into flowing text according to his wishes.

His forehead has almost become a signboard...

Shen Tang's curiosity was piqued, and his almond-shaped eyes sparkled: "This is so cool! I want one too!"

Jimo Qiu smiled broadly: "As long as Your Highness likes it."

Shen Tang keenly sensed the business opportunity.

"If you open a tattoo shop, you won't monopolize the whole country?"

Shen Tang has a prisoner's tattoo behind her ear, which she has refused to remove for many years. Young people in Kang Guo also follow her example in pursuit of fashion.

In Kangguo, tattoos are a trend! Although the tattoos are not the same style but the patterns that the children like, they are still tattoos, which once challenged the psychological tolerance of their parents. This trend eventually spread to the market, and there is a large consumer group.

If this thing can open up the market...

It is bound to cause a new fashion trend!

Shen Tang held her chin up and thought about how else she could use this thing besides tattooing. As she thought about it, an idea came to her mind.

"Hey, I have it!"

She raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

Red marks like eyeshadow gradually appeared under the eyelids.

It adds an indescribable weirdness to the face.

She stroked the corners of her eyes with her fingers and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

This eye makeup is so perfect!

Gong Yang Yongye: "..."

He pursed his lips for a long time, not knowing where to start complaining, and inexplicably felt sorry for the mages. The latter were worried that they would be harmed by the poisonous insects, but they didn't expect that the parties themselves were having fun. What they avoided in their eyes was a magic tool for applying makeup in one second, pure natural rouge, and interesting toys in their eyes. He felt that he was really old.

Can't keep up with these young people who are getting increasingly crazy.

Just as speechless as Gongyang Yongye was Wei Lou, who rushed over after hearing that Shen Tang had used unconventional means to subdue the enemy general.

He wanted to persuade Shen Tang not to rely on this unconventional method, but he was unwilling to admit in his heart that she had so many schemes and calculations.

Wasn’t the lesson left by the Wu Kingdom painful enough?

It is not easy to maintain the bottom line, but it is easy to fall into depravity.

When he saw Shen Tang holding up a mirror and trying out various facial makeup, he seemed to be put on a "silence" order. He doubted his life and regretted what he was doing here. Shen Tang threw the mirror aside and showed a bright and happy face to Wei Lou.

The treasure given by Wei Lou could not reach her hands, but it was also money.

It's only right that we should show some kindness to the second place on the krypton gold list.

Oh, the first on the list is Jimo Qiu.

"Why is Mr. Wei here?"

"I heard that Mr. Shen used poisonous insects to force them to submit?"

Shen Tang: "No? It's not consensual?"

She doubted the motives of the few people to surrender, but she felt that the poisonous insects were not powerful enough to scare a few masters into submission. What if they ate it? After three years, the poisonous insects would lose their effectiveness. Even if they did not lose their effectiveness, the poisonous insects could not kill them. If they were determined to give up, what else could Shen Tang do to them? The worst that could happen was death.

There are very few generals who can cultivate to this level and are afraid of death.

Death could not intimidate them into submission.

Wei Lou: "..."

Could it be said that she underestimated the intimidation power of the poisonous insect on people like them?

"...Few people back then were not afraid of Gu."

Not only was he afraid of its tricky and weird abilities, but he was also afraid of its stealthy ways of attacking people. Sometimes death is not scary, but not being able to die. The unknown is the most terrifying. Seeing Shen Tang's performance, he kept more words in his stomach.

He changed his words and said, "...Although it is an unorthodox method, it can be very effective if used in the right way. We should indeed use extraordinary means to restrict the group of surrendered generals in the central region to prevent them from causing trouble."

Shen Tang asked tentatively: "So..."

Wei Lou struggled internally: "It's important to be on guard against others."

Shen Tang should put a curse on those people and buy insurance.

Shen Tang: "...That's not necessary."

Jimo Qiu said that refining is difficult and the cost is too high.

However, she still had a few in stock, which she could use to intimidate other surrendered generals in the future, saving herself a lot of trouble.

She thought so, but she didn't know what she had touched on Wei Lou. He actually showed a subtle expression of disappointment. He hesitated several times and finally found an excuse to leave. Shen Tang was confused: "The second heart of the list is like a needle in the sea..."

Gu Chi also came to congratulate after hearing the news.

"...How can you two talk at cross purposes?"

Shen Tang: "..."

Gu Chi was a man of taste. Seeing Shen Tang was unhappy, he immediately changed his words and praised her for her eye makeup that made her look more beautiful. Shen Tang threw the tangerine into his arms in a bad mood. Gu Chi smiled and said, "Thank you, my Lord, for the reward."

The king and his minister sat opposite each other and chatted while eating oranges.

The content ranges from serious matters to gossip.

Shen Tang suddenly remembered something.

"... Yesterday I heard the high priest say that she was looking for someone. You are familiar with Shao Xuan, but have you ever heard her mention any good talents in the army?"

This topic is a bit confusing.

Shen Tang said: "Yuan's Time Arrow."

Gu Chi understood immediately: "Has Mr. Jimo found a successor?"

Shen Tang quickly snatched the peeled orange from Gu Chi's hand. Gu Chi wanted to grab it but it was too late: "If I have found it, can I still ask you? I am asking you, but I am taking special care of you."

What's wrong with taking his oranges a few times?

He almost laughed out of anger: "Chi has no children, no relatives in the clan. How can I be the heir of this stupid thing?"

Taking his oranges and still making excuses?

Shen Tang asked: "What if it is given to Shao Xuan?"

Gu Chi paused while peeling the orange and said, "No."

This thing burns life.

Even without the Time Arrow, she can still reach the top!

"You make decisions for her?"

Gu Chi naturally couldn't do that and fell silent for a moment.

He was in a bad mood, so Shen Tang didn't continue to tease him. He smiled and said, "Don't be so gloomy. How can I harm you? I originally thought that it would be better to keep this thing in the hands of trustworthy people. Learning is learning, but it doesn't mean you have to use it. Kangguo has been fighting for so long and has a tendency to swallow up the world's talents. Except for Shaoxuan, the other female generals are not strong enough, and the time for growth is too tight."

If Bai Su had a trump card that could absolutely suppress others...

When Chu Jie retires, Bai Su will be able to take over naturally.

"A single flower does not make spring, a hundred flowers in full bloom make spring in the garden." The balance of yin and yang, this is what she wants to see most. Balance will not be achieved quickly because of her personal will, especially in a world where power determines hierarchy and social order. Shen Tang looked around and found many good seedlings, but these seedlings need time to grow, from 20 to 30 years at the shortest, to 40 to 50 years at the longest.

"...Sometimes, I want to catch a few wild twenty-level Chehou and let them give me some enlightenment to quickly train them..." Shen Tang chewed the orange flesh hard, and was very angry.

Gu Chi said: "...Then I will go and persuade Shao Xuan?"

Shen Tang waved his hand: "No, let me take a look."

The lifespan limit of the Time Arrow is indeed a tricky problem.

According to Jimo Qiu, the best heir is a woman with special blood, just like Lady Yuan at that time, so as to avoid an early death. It is not that after training her with great effort, she will have her lifespan burned out completely after a few battles.

Not cost-effective, the price/performance ratio is too low.

"... Let's not rush the issue of succession." When Shen Tang said this, a clever idea quietly emerged in his mind, "The Time Arrow should have a great reputation in the upper circles of the Central Continent? Perhaps we can use it to divide them."

Whoever knows what's best for him will have the chance to inherit the Arrow of Time.

What this world lacks the most is greedy people.

The weather has changed a lot recently. The south wind has started to blow again. The air feels very humid. Once I sweat, I easily develop sweat odor.

PS: I have seen a lot of complaints about short dramas recently. The one that impressed me the most was the complaint that the maids in the short dramas were too arrogant and domineering, and the masters could beat them to death at will_(:з」∠)_I think it is very strange that they were not beaten to death.

Oh no, what were you thinking?

The domineering plot is indeed a bit outrageous, but the idea that you can kill those who mistreat your servants at will is also feudal. A common man can splatter blood three feet when he is angry. Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. He is really not afraid of being killed by his subordinates.

The emperor was almost strangled to death by a palace maid, so why not talk about feudalism? Maids and servants are human beings after all, and as human beings, they are likely to explode.

That's probably -

If you can kill me in one blow, you are this (thumbs up). If you can't kill me and force me into a corner and still give me a chance to get close to you, you are this (thumbs down).

If the feudal ethics system could really ensure that the upper class would always be the upper class, and the lower class would never have a chance to turn things around and would just accept their fate and wait for death, then there would be no changes of dynasties.
