stand back, let me come

Chapter 1491: Hundred Billion Merits (Part 1491) [Seeking monthly votes]

Forget it, I can’t save it anyway.

Based on Jimo Qiu's understanding of them, they have more tricks than a beehive, and their hearts are darker than ink. They are particularly strong when they betray their own people. It's a rare opportunity to elbow His Highness, how could they let it go? They should pinch His Highness's weak spot and drain the merits in His Highness's account.

After all, His Highness had done so before.

Alas, when will the cycle of revenge end?
The account must be reset to zero.

Jimo Qiu sighed like this, but he felt relieved in his heart.

Your Highness cannot make a wish to the heaven easily, and the heaven will not easily accept your Highness' wish. Once the Lord of Heaven is willing to accept the wish, it means that all wishes will come true. Although Jimo Qiu still doesn't know what your Highness has made an unintentional wish, it is certain that it must be her strong desire from the bottom of her heart at this moment. As long as it is what your Highness wants, Jimo Qiu hopes that she will get it.

He entered with the poison in his hand.

Just then I heard the good news brought by the messenger.

Kang Shi led 5,000 soldiers to attack 22,000 elite enemy troops, capturing and killing more than half of them. The remaining 10,000 allied soldiers were demoralized and the entire army was defeated. General Yang Ying killed 12 enemy generals and assisted General Qian Yong in killing four generals. The army then pursued the enemy for more than 70 miles.

Shen Tang asked: "What are the casualties of our army?"

The messenger's face, covered in blood, showed a look of grief.

He choked a little and said, "More than half."

I don’t know whether to say that Kang Shi has good luck or bad luck.

If he was lucky, the reinforcements from the Central Allied Forces arrived first and ran into Kang Shi's troops, who were chasing them. The disparity in strength between the two armies made it almost impossible to resist. But if he was unlucky, the terrain at that time was not suitable for large-scale troops to deploy. If the formation could not be deployed, the lethality would be greatly reduced. As soon as the two armies engaged in battle, even with the disparity in strength, the balance did not immediately tip to the Central Allied Forces. Instead, Kang Shi displayed his literary talent, boosted the morale of the entire army, and built a strong and solid defensive barrier.

The barrier did not last long.

Because there are high-level generals among the allied reinforcements.

He is also an expert at armor-breaking.

For a moment, the situation at the battle site between the two armies was like countless meat grinders running at full speed, until Yang Ying rushed over and successfully attacked with an arrow, barely stabilizing the balance. After another half an hour of stalemate, Qian Yong's reinforcements also came from both sides of the mountain, and the overall gap in the strength of the two armies was greatly reduced. From this time on, Kangguo had the upper hand.

The two armies fought for nearly six hours.

The Allied forces lost nearly 40% before they could no longer hold on and were exposed to decline. Only then did they pursue the Allied forces relentlessly for more than 70 miles.

The messenger's message was brief, but Shen Tang could hear the word "dangerous".

"...You said that the Allied forces could hold out until 40% of their forces were lost?"

This ratio is quite terrifying.

When the loss of ordinary elite troops reaches 20%, the army's morale begins to waver. When the army's morale is shaken, morale plummets, and the army's defense and attack also decline sharply, and then a vicious cycle follows. The greater the advantage of the dominant side, the greater the disadvantage of the disadvantaged side. If the battle line is dragged out and the loss is pulled to 30% or 40%, the defeated side will basically have no room for recovery. Those who hold on to this point and start to lose heart are all elite among the elite. Is Kang Jishou facing a tough opponent?

Not only is it hard, it's also very hard.

Shen Tang asked again: "Why didn't Qian Yong arrive in time?"

Not only did she arrange Qian Yong to be the jackal, she also arranged two surrendered generals with the strength of the seventeenth-rank Siche Shuzhang to follow him. Even if there was a situation where they were too late, they could let the two surrendered generals lead the charge and delay the time. Judging from the messenger's message, Qian Yong was late.

The messenger had obviously been instructed by Kang Shi in advance.

He guessed that Shen Tang would ask this question.

Qian Yong was indeed late, but there was a reason for it. This was due to Kang Shi's Schrödinger-like luck. Shen Tang had instructed in advance that Kang Shi's troops should not be aware of the yellow bird following behind, so Qian Yong naturally could not follow too closely. At the beginning, everything was under Qian Yong's control, but at the critical moment, he fell into the enemy's maze trap, wasting his time, and fell into twelve traps in one go.

Qi Shan and the others felt distressed after hearing this.

At first, they were all distressed about their own losses, but when they heard the messenger's report on Qian Yong's experience, they couldn't help but twitch their lips. They all thought of Kang Shi's luck in tacit agreement, and asked, "...Did Old Qian trigger all the traps set by the enemy?"

Messenger: “…”

Chu Yao also spoke up to plead for Qian Yong.

"General Qian can't be blamed for this."

Once it comes to the future of a gambler like Kang Shi, even Chu Yao's literati can't make a complete conclusion. He only knows that Kang Shi will win and won't lose his life, but he can't see the specific losses in the process, let alone Qian Shuhe.

Shen Tang said: "I don't blame Shuhe."

Even Jimo Qiu, a non-staff member, didn't believe this.

In just a few sentences of conversation, the fact that His Highness addressed Qian Yong differently, from Qian Yong, General Qian to Qian Shuhe, tells it all.

That is to say, Qian Yong is not here. If he were——

If it were, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Qian Yong, Wei Shou and Wu Xian, these three are the veterans among the military commanders of Kangguo, and they are masters of slacking off. They are not treacherous, but they are honest. The other civil and military officers are all sincerely submissive to Your Highness, but Qian Yong and the others are more of heroes who know the current situation. They are loyal only when Your Highness can absolutely suppress them.

Once the balance cannot be tilted absolutely, it is hard to say that there is no ulterior motive.

But then again, it is more reassuring to employ such people. Because they are sensible enough to know the current situation, they will not abuse their cleverness to do stupid things, and they will not do small things in the name of loyalty to the master. They are like cattle and horses in the workplace who do not want to go to work but work honestly for a living. If the salary given by the company is worthy of their efforts, they don't mind working in the company until retirement.

The boss pays enough salary, and the soldiers receive enough pay during the war.

If the boss/master likes to get a little mad, let him do so.

They are very self-aware. They all jumped from rival companies. How can they compare to the old darlings in the early days of the company? Even if they think they have some skills, they are not good-looking. They are not as competitive and beautiful as the old veterans.

Ugh, I’m talking about Gu Chi, Kang Shi and the others.

_(:з　∠)_
Shen Tang sighed: "I can only blame Ji Shou's luck."

No, Kang Shi’s luck can’t be blamed.

When it comes down to it, we can still blame the injustice of heaven.

Kang Jishou had earned tens of millions of luck and more than six million merits in one go, so why didn't he work harder? If he had spent twenty million luck or twelve million merits, she didn't believe that Kang Shi wouldn't be blessed, and perhaps Qian Yong could arrive earlier.

But I know in my heart that it is impossible.

Not to mention doubling it, even adding a zero is impossible.

Fighting in troubled times is not a game of house. As long as two armies are determined to kill each other and weapons are used, it is inevitable that there will be casualties.

"Send thirteen doctors over immediately."

That is to say, including the medical practitioners, there are 130 people.

Don’t underestimate this number. In the past, when a warlord went out to fight with 20,000 or 30,000 people, there were probably only two or three military doctors in the army, and there were only about ten or so including the errand boys. If it was a makeshift team, the size would probably be cut in half. After a war, many more people died of infection or illness after the war than on the battlefield. Most likely, these military doctors were barefoot bell doctors.

Shen Tang has attached great importance to logistics since the beginning of his business. Over the years, he has strongly supported the training of medical practitioners and invested a lot of money in the Medical Bureau to let them actively train medical talents for the army. After more than ten years of hard work, Shen Tang has the current wealth.

With a wave of his hand, more than a hundred people were sent out.

It was three days later that Shen Tang saw Kang again.

This was what Shen Tang saw when he went to visit him in person because he felt something was wrong. The simple tent was filled with a complex smell. Kang Shi and Qian Yong were fellow patients. When Shen Tang went over, Qian Yong was lying on his back, with his right leg bent and his left hand reaching for his toes to pick at his feet.

Don’t ask why your left leg and right hand won’t move. They can’t move.

Qian Yong scratched it for a while, but still felt uncomfortable.

"Fang Laoliu, can you find someone to help me pick two..." After working in the workplace for a long time, it is inevitable to suffer from some occupational diseases. In addition to the big and small hidden injuries, the occupational diseases of military commanders also include some minor ailments that are difficult to talk about. For example, foot odor or something. It is easy to be bitten by various insects when marching in the wild.

It is better for brave warriors, who can be fully armed with just a thought. However, in order to suffer less and to be prepared for wars that may break out at any time, many generals will wrap themselves tightly even if they do not take off their armor. It is impossible for them to expose their breasts and be honest.

Combat boots must be worn, and trouser legs must be tucked into combat boots. It's okay in autumn and winter, but in spring and summer, you will sweat after a fight, and the sweat will be covered in. If you don't air your feet frequently, and wrap them in combat boots every day, won't they smell?
Not only does it have a smell, it is also prone to peeling and blisters.

Herbal compresses can relieve itching.

But Qian Yong is very itchy now.

Military generals basically had no habit of growing long nails. They needed to trim their nails regularly to ensure that the scale armor guards were comfortable to wear and more convenient during combat. This also resulted in Qian Yong being unable to break the blisters after picking between his toes for a long time. The more he picked, the more itchy it became, and he was very helpless.

The key is that the smell is also very strong.

Fang Yan threw a tube of ointment over: "You can rub it yourself."

Qian Yong opened his mouth and held the ointment, humming and complaining, while scraping off a little to apply to his toes. Fang Yan's ointment also had a strong smell, which made the smell in the air even more lethal.

"I'm not asking you, Fang Laoliu, to pick the blisters yourself."

After all, he is the hero who saved Kang Jishou's life, right?

Is this the treatment?
Qian Yong expressed that he was not convinced at all.

Fang Yan used a clean cloth to clean Kang Shi's chest and reapplied medicine. The latter gasped in pain from time to time. Looking at the wound, the flesh was red and rolled outward, Fang Yan said: "If Minister Kang feels that the smell is unbearable, I will arrange for you to move to another tent."

The general's sleeping habits are not very good.

When he was on guard, Qian Yong's snoring was so loud that it shook the sky. Kang Shi was seriously injured and slept soundly, and he never woke up. Fortunately, the high fever subsided before dawn, and he survived the most dangerous period with the help of his good physique as a scholar.

Kang Shi, the plague god, was so sick that he even spared no effort to harm himself.

The Danfu's spirit was exhausted, the Wen Palace collapsed, and the Wenxin cracked. Not only was he unable to refine his spirit, but his body also resisted external forces, including the Xinglin doctor's spiritual healing. The military doctor could only use ordinary medical skills to rescue him.

Fortunately, these military doctors were trained by Dong Dao, with excellent medical skills and medical ethics, and they were dragged to Fang Yan's side. The high fever subsided, Kang Shi regained consciousness, and was finally able to cooperate with the treatment. Wen Gong Wen Xin patched it up and barely tempered the literary energy to protect the heart. It was only a day later, and he was already in good spirits.

However, it will take another two days to recover enough to walk.

The Lord has already issued three military orders urging us to do so.

Kang Shi said: "Fortunately, I can't smell it."

As a side effect of his serious injury, he had lost his sense of smell and taste. He couldn't taste how bitter the medicine was, nor could he smell how smelly Qian Yong's feet were. Was this a blessing in disguise? When he woke up, he was worried about Shen Tang's situation, fearing that Fang Yan would say that his master had passed away.

That day, he was rational enough to keep his hand at first.

Yang Ying's Time Arrow is very cost-effective against experts. It can hit the enemy with one shot when they are caught off guard, but this move cannot be used infinitely. After firing an arrow, the enemy will be on guard again, and if you miss, it will be a waste. Seeing the balance continue to slip, Kang Shi also became furious.

The string of reason in my brain was completely broken.

When he recalled that memory, it still seemed a little fuzzy. Seeing himself displaying his power from a third-party perspective, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Can my lord bear it?

Fang Yan said that the master was still alive and kicking, and Jimo Qiu had given her two bowls of poisonous medicine, so even if she died, she could crawl back from the underworld.

Kang Shi had also heard how unpalatable the poison was.

Hearing that his master was not killed, he felt relieved.

He lay down and stared at the top of the tent in a daze.

Apart from anything else, the Lord's luck is truly profound.

The eight characters are really hard!
He was a little scared this time, but next time... he would still dare.

"...Did the Lord ask me anything?"

Fang Yan wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this. If Shen Youli knew that he had concealed part of the truth for Kang Shi, he would definitely be punished later: "General Shengmei said that the central army has issued three military orders, and it is estimated that the fourth one is on the way. The truth cannot be hidden."

Kang Shi said: "Let's keep it a secret for two more days."

The central army has many affairs to attend to, and the other two routes also have their own situations. The lord is unable to handle them all alone, and it will take some time to handle them all.

In two days, he will be well again, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Fang Yan said: "You can just take advantage of your favor and become arrogant."

Are you determined to collect all twelve military orders and unlock new achievements?

"Why are you trying to imitate Gu Wangchao's coquettish manner?"

Qian Yong said, "That's right. How can you say that he is arrogant because of his favor? Kang Jishou's behavior can definitely be considered as taking advantage of his favor!"

Fang Yan: "..."

Is there any difference between these two words?

Is this rough guy Qian Yong here to show off his literary talent?

Gu Chi, who was being chirped by crickets across the tent, said: "..."

Who did Kang Jishou call "Jiaojiao'er"?

He carefully observed his master, whose face was ashen, with the corner of his eye.

Oh, it’s already as white as the bottom of the pot.

Just when Gu Chi was thinking about how Kang Shi was dealt with, the Lord said nothing, but raised his hand to wink at Jimo Qiu, who understood and went in with a bowl of hot poison. Kang Shi was startled at first, but he felt relieved when he heard Jimo Qiu lie with his eyes open: "Don't worry, Minister Kang, it was Chu Shangjun who asked me to come and see you privately. If you get better soon, the Lord will be relieved, and he will be relieved too."

Let’s put aside the issue of whether colleagues live or die.

Don’t cause your master too much worry.

Kang Shi’s tense back finally relaxed.

"Chu Wuhui... he has a conscience..."

Kang Shi didn't believe that Chu Yao couldn't see how miserable he was.

As for this bowl of poisonous medicine——

Every muscle on Kang Shi's face was resisting. He didn't dare to drink and tried to delay time: "...What if I die?"

Jimo Qiu said calmly: "No."

Not to mention that Her Highness had already made a wish, even if she hadn't, Kang Jishou wouldn't have died. A small portion of the merits Her Highness earned in this world was used to make false accounts, but the rest of the bulk was all on Kang Shi and others. These merits would keep them safe.

Kang Shi didn't know the inside story: "Are you so sure?"

"Yeah, I'm so sure."

Jimo Qiu's gaze fell on Kang Jishou's neck.

There is a shining amulet that is invisible to the naked eye of mortals. The amulet is connected to the merits of the King of Kangguo.

Xianggu also gave the two cats at home a small peace pendant that he prayed for from the temple, but unfortunately they don't like to wear it. He prays every year, but fortunately they haven't gotten sick.
