stand back, let me come

Chapter 1448: Isn't Yu Zhushe panicking? (Part 1448) [Seeking monthly votes]

thump -- thump -- thump --

The knock on the door seemed particularly scary at this moment.

The two trembling servants standing by the door almost lost their souls.

He didn't dare to open the door. His face was pale, and he held down the wooden bolt with both hands. He turned his head and gave Lin's father an anxious look, while mouthing words in a low voice.

"Soldiers, there are soldiers everywhere outside."

It’s terrible. If I open the door, I will die. If I don’t open the door, I will die too.

Father Lin was so frightened at first that his heart skipped a beat.

If the soldiers outside the door were local soldiers, they might be here to settle accounts with Lin Chun. If they were the warlord forces secretly funded by Kangguo, the danger would be averted. Even if we take a step back and say that the group of soldiers outside the door have bad intentions, how long can a room full of old and weak people resist? Even if we gather all of them, it would not be enough for them to chop for half a cup of tea. If we delay opening the door and anger them, we may not know how we died.

"open!"

In a flash, Lin's father made the decision.

The servant did not wait for the group of people outside to knock on the door for the second time, and answered in a trembling voice: "Please wait a moment, the door will be opened soon."

After opening the door, there was indeed a group of burly men standing outside.

Any shoulder you pick up will be twice as wide as yours.

The leader stepped forward and clasped his hands together to greet the servants. His voice was a little rough, but not deep like a man's. It sounded more like a woman's. Even his facial features under the helmet had a certain softness that was unique to women. "Excuse me, is this the Lin Mansion?"

Father Lin stepped forward and said, "A poor family dare not call itself a mansion."

He carefully observed the man's armor and made a rough judgment of his strength. At the same time, he put down his heart and smiled. "I wonder why the young general suddenly came to visit? Are you looking for someone or doing something?"

The young general said, "Neither. The lady told us not to disturb your house, so I came here to ask."

It's hard to take everything into consideration when a war gets intense.

She also remembered Lin Feng's instructions when she was cleaning up the battlefield, fearing that someone would smash someone's yard or kill someone by mistake. As long as no one was killed, other minor problems could be remedied. Father Lin was speechless. Although he was mentally prepared, he still wanted to ask a question to confirm his guess: "Who is the 'female monarch' mentioned by the young general?"

"It's Minister Lin."

Lin Feng is just a brick and can be moved wherever he is needed.

The Royal Court of Kang State has three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five bureaus, and she holds four concurrent posts. At the beginning, she was only a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but Shen Tang found that the young lady was able to handle the job with ease and was full of energy, so he gradually gave her several more posts based on the principle of "the more capable, the more work". Currently, there are four positions in office, but Lin Feng has held more than two dozen positions.

Despite having so many part-time jobs, her position as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has not changed.

Father Lin was unfamiliar with this and his brain was slow to react.

"Minister Lin is..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized that he was referring to Lin Feng.

The letter sent by my grandfather mentioned that Lin Feng held a high position in Kangguo and that Jian was in the emperor's favor, but it did not mention what she was doing specifically.

Father Lin thought as broadly as possible, and only thought that Lin Feng might serve Shen Tang, respond to imperial orders, and maybe get a position in the Secretariat. He never expected that Lin Feng's main job would be in the Ministry of Revenue, and even as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Is it appropriate for Lord Shen to send the Minister of Revenue here?

Father Lin swallowed his doubts.

He said, "Everything was fine last night."

Father Lin thought that this answer could get rid of these people, but who knew that the young general was very enthusiastic. He carefully discovered that the inner wall of the courtyard was collapsed by stones flying from somewhere, so he turned around and asked someone to rebuild it.

He wanted to refuse but was afraid of offending others and giving Lin Feng a chance to be criticized.

He could only welcome the young general in with a fake smile.

This young general is also upright.

She was building walls and repairing tiles, and she said that the house was simple and plain, and she saw a suitable ornament somewhere and it would be perfect to put it here.

Father Lin didn't say a word, just watched a group of people bring the things in, sweat on his forehead: "No, no, no, no reward without merit, I can't accept it."

Even a fool could see that this young general wanted to please Lin Feng.

Father Lin thought that this kind of tribute was normal, but he did not forget that the national conditions of Kangguo were different from other places. If someone reported that Lin Feng had accepted bribes, it would be irrefutable evidence. When Lin Feng came back and saw the house that had changed so much, he might think that he had taken the bribe on his own initiative.

The young general said, "Don't panic, Master Lin."

Father Lin: "..."

No, he couldn't help but panic now.

This torture that made people feel like sitting on pins and needles came to an end only when Lin Feng appeared again. Father Lin hurriedly stood up and greeted Lin Feng: "Lingde, is this young general your colleague? She--"

When he saw a strange face standing next to Lin Feng, he swallowed back what he wanted to say. Lin Feng looked at his father in surprise. The latter looked embarrassed as if he had done something wrong. He looked hesitant and said, "What does father want to say?"

Father Lin said awkwardly: "No, nothing."

At this time, the female monarch next to Lin Feng waved her hand and said, "You two father and daughter can talk about whatever you want to say. Don't worry about me."

Lin Feng turned his gaze back to his father.

Father Lin was put on the spot and whispered, "Your colleague had someone move a lot of valuable items home."

Lin Feng said "Oh", "How precious can it be?"

After taking a look, he asked again, "That's it?"

At most, it can be regarded as an improvement in the standard of living, and it has nothing to do with luxury. Father Lin was almost mad at his daughter, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be helpless that the "valuable items" in his eyes were only evaluated as "just so" by Lin Feng, or to be angry that she didn't know how to hint.

"No merit, no reward."

"Why am I unsuccessful?"

Father Lin: "..."

The lady who came with Lin Feng burst into laughter, which embarrassed Lin's father so much that he kept saying, "Excuse me, our distinguished guest."

The strange lady laughed and said, "If the families of other officials could be half as cautious as Master Lin, how much less work would the Censorate have to do?"

Many officials were dragged into the abyss of corruption, and the initial breakthrough point was their relatives. Can the officials themselves remember their original intentions, and can the family members of the officials remember the official code of conduct? Once the breakthrough point is opened, they will be covered in mud and fall sooner or later.

Only then did Father Lin feel relieved.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Lin Feng deliberately lagged behind the strange lady and accompanied her into the main hall as a follower. The lady was even more amazing. She naturally sat at the top seat, while Lin Feng sat at the bottom seat. This made Lin's father have a vague guess about the identity of the strange lady. This person is most likely the warlord leader supported by Kangguo here?

Lin's father also heard from Lin Chun that the leader of the thieves was indeed a woman.

Father Lin asked the servants to serve tea.

The tea used was not their own old tea but the good tea that the little general had just given them. I don’t know how good it was, but it was better than the tea at home.

Lin Feng tasted the difference at one bite.

The strange lady is Shen Tang. As long as she can quench her thirst, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad. She will drink boiled water. "We will stay here for two days. During this time, we need to borrow the precious land. It will also be convenient for you and your daughter to reunite and share the joy of family life."

Shen Tang did this to give some rewards to the Lin family. She lived here in a borrowed house, so she had to pay some "rent". She also planned to appoint Lin Chun as the governor of this place. Given his personality, he might not be as decisive as Lin Feng and would not be able to control others. So she wanted to let some people in the city see that the Lin family was not what it used to be, and she was supporting Lin Chun in disguise.

Father Lin didn't know what Shen Tang was planning and agreed immediately.

Lin Feng was clear about it.

After Lin's father left, Lin Feng leaned on Shen Tang's knees and rubbed against him: "My lord, you have made plans for me. I don't know how to repay you."

The affectionate scene between the monarch and his subjects was shattered by Shen Tang's words.

"Work harder." Shen Tang patted her bun.

Lin Feng stood up.

His cheeks puffed up: "My best spell is not 'Sinking into Fire and Water', but 'Indecisive'."

Shen Tang didn't buy her trick: "All officials in the royal court are like this."

Facts have proven that no matter how difficult the words are, as long as you use them more, you will naturally become proficient in them. When you are an official in Kangguo, you don't need to know other words, but you must learn [Indecision], which is a must in the workplace.

Outside the house, Xiahou Yu couldn't help laughing.

Shen Tang said: "Come in."

After saying that, he tried to make up for it: "Forget it, I'll go out."

The room was too small to accommodate these tall and strong guys.

She held the meeting in the courtyard, but the space was still a bit crowded, so she could only make do. The Lin family and the servants did not dare to disturb them in the front courtyard. Just seeing the group of elites with sharp eyes made them tremble. It was not until they found that this group of people were strictly disciplined and had no intention of harming them that they relaxed their tense nerves.

"Report——"

The scouts sent out brought back bad news.

It extinguished everyone's joy of easily taking the city.

Shen Tang said: "Speak."

The messenger handed over a secret letter with both hands. There was no extra text in the letter, only a simple map with various arrows drawn on it.

Shen Tang could tell at a glance that the map was sent by Tan Ting through an informant. She passed it around after reading it and asked, "What do you think?"

Although Shen Tang used the mad dog fighting style of Wu State, violently attacking the city all the way, only destroying the house without defending it, and doing it as soon as he opened his eyes, it seemed that he had no specific destination, but in fact he did. Containing the central allied forces was only one of the tasks, and the other task was to cooperate with the Qu State, and the two sides would meet as much as possible and merge the defense lines.

The bigger the action on her part, the more attention she'll draw.

It can also cover Qu State's actions to a certain extent.

only--

According to the intelligence sent back by Tan Ting, the Central Allied Forces are trying their best to contact the Kingdom of Qu, trying to persuade this ally to rebel...

Xiahou Yu: "The ruler of Qu State is not a short-sighted person."

He and Zhai Le had a grudge of destroying a country and killing a teacher, so he had to speak a fair word with a clear conscience. He did not doubt the authenticity of the news, but he was also worried that it was a smokescreen released by the Central Allied Forces. Sending people to instigate rebellion and alienate the enemy was a normal tactic, and one could not question the innocence of an ally just because he had contact with the enemy.

This is exactly the effect the enemy wants.

"Zhai Xiaofang is indeed not one of them, but that doesn't mean that the people around him are not. Sometimes, even the king can be coerced into making decisions against his will." Shen Tang is a man who can feed the whole family if he feeds them, so he can do whatever he wants. But Zhai Xiaofang has a wife and a son, as well as a large family behind him whose fortunes are tied to him, so he is not as free as Shen Tang.

She would not be worried if it was just a normal negotiation between the two powers, but what if the two sides negotiated as the Central and Southeast Societies?

Yes.

It was not the Central Allied Forces that came into contact with Qu State.

It was the Central Branch that sent people to contact the Southeast Branch.

The political meanings of the two are completely different.

Shen Tang was obviously more afraid of the latter.

The Gods Society has been recruiting talents over the years by screening them at the same time, and those who remain in the end are a group of arrogant and rebellious people whose brain circuits are similar to those of the Gods Society. They agree with the idea that the Gods Society is superior to all living beings from the bottom of their hearts, and they are crazy in their bones!

Once the two branches reach a settlement...

It was only a matter of time before Qu Guo changed his stance.

Xiahou Yu volunteered to go on a diplomatic mission to Qu State and to test the waters at the same time.

Others said, "If we go there now, it will be like a louse on a monk's head. The Qu people will definitely find it."

Xiahou Yu had a ready-made excuse: "The grain and grass stored by Qu State have been consumed. This time I will go over and ask them if they have enough grain and grass. Can they beat me back?"

The most sincere care from our allies!

Don't hit a smiling person, not to mention that they are allies with abundant food and grass. If Quguo still doubts Xiahou Yu's motives, then they will be hurt. Xiahou Yu is sure.

Shen Tang shook his head and rejected his request.

"No need to do that, I'll send someone."

"But aren't Kangguo's troops tied up in the Yidi Mountains?"

If you want to be able to handle this matter with ease, the combat strength of a single soldier cannot be too weak, at least in case of an emergency, you can send out the information in a timely and safe manner. Xiahou Yu has a certain understanding of the strength of Kangguo, and it should not be able to spare manpower to do this at the moment.

After saying that, he looked at Gong Xichou and the other one.

Or should we send one of Gong Xichou or Luo Sha?

Without their cooperation, fighting would be difficult.

Shen Tang said: "There is another person who can be used."

That's herself.

The incarnation is nothing, so those who are capable should work harder.

Wu You's mission is to explore the forces in the Northeast Continent. I didn't let her build up forces there. At this critical moment when the whole continent is in chaos, there is no extra time for Wu You to slowly manage. Therefore, sending a message to Wu You now will allow her to make a trip.

Wu You, who sensed Zixu's inner thoughts, said: "..."

The deity sends it, and the incarnation also sends it.

What's wrong, is it the embodiment of something cheap and mean?

Lin Feng: "..."

When the master gets angry, his subjects are all afraid.

Lin Feng thought of his experience in Qu State and said worriedly: "If Qu State is persuaded successfully, then the alliance -"

Shen Tang raised her hand to suppress what she wanted to say: "No."

Impossible to succeed.

It was not because she had confidence in Zhai Le, but because she was very confident in her ability to frame someone: "Even marriages can lead to divorces, let alone an alliance between two forces. Even if Zhai Xiaofang gets a promise from the Central Allied Forces to stay in a safe corner and chooses the Allied Forces instead of me, that's fine, as long as he can bear the revenge of exterminating his entire family! Then he can go ahead and make his choice without any worries!"

What is the most efficient and convenient way to destroy an alliance?

Of course it was a frame-up.

She said indifferently: "I will do it perfectly."

Having come to this point, Zhai Xiaofang couldn't stop her.

[I will do it perfectly! ]

The incarnation Wuyou noticed the murderous intent that emerged in both the original body and the incarnation Zixu, and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

[You two are really more sinister than each other. ]

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

The Central Branch has been experiencing a streak of bad luck since the war began.

The carefully nurtured longevity container was destroyed, a large number of elites hit a wall in the Yudi Mountains, suffered heavy casualties, and there was turmoil within the branch, and many branch members died mysteriously. The root cause was finally found to be Tan Ting, the head of the branch, and a manhunt was launched to no avail.

"For now, we can only hope that Yu Guilong is sensible."
