stand back, let me come

Chapter 1507 Chapter 1506: Finale (IX) [Happy Dragon Boat Festival]

Whose good intentions could be so fierce?
If Shen Tang had wanted to negotiate with Shan Nian before the incident - what if she was gone, Shan Nian couldn't exist on her own, wouldn't that hurt both sides? But now she changed her mind. She found that Shan Nian might really exist independently, and had great ill will towards her. Since there was no room for negotiation, she would not rush to put her face in front of a cold butt, even if it was her!

Not to mention that this guy also killed Zixu, the incarnation, in public.

Without the real-time contact tool Zixu, Shen Tang was unable to control the branch thousands of miles away in real time. During the few hours of recuperation, she was still worried about Xiahou Yu and others. If Xiahou Yu and others could not control the situation, her business performance in the Central Continent would be cut in half.

How much profit will be lost?
Not only short-term benefits, but also long-term benefits.

"How is Yuanliang's injury?"

Shen Tang was attacked back, so Qi Shan was naturally not much better off.

"Qi Zhongshu is young and energetic, but he lost some blood. He can recover by taking a few more blood-replenishing pills. As for my lord..." Fang Yan paused suspiciously for a moment and lowered his voice, "Does my lord know that he has lost his vitality? Did something go wrong in his cultivation?"

This symptom generally does not occur in young and strong warriors.

Shen Tang said: "No."

She winked at Fang Yan: "Don't say anything you shouldn't."

The loss of vitality should be related to the escape of Shannian. If Shen Tang wants to live, she must kill it as soon as possible to prevent her from taking advantage of the hide-and-seek method. Judging from Shannian's malice towards Shen Tang, even if she does not take the initiative to find the other party, the other party will come to find her.

Fang Yan wanted to say something else.

Shen Tang asked him to go out and call Jimo Qiu and others in.

Except for Qi Shan who was forced to lie down, Qin Li and others were all present. Everyone received the bad news of Shan Nian's mischief early in the morning. Even though the Lord had not yet announced how serious the consequences of this bad news would be, when they saw their colleagues around them, they all had the same ominous premonition in their hearts.

I just don't know the source of this premonition.

"Please take a seat, everyone. No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Lord."

Shen Tang calmly dropped a huge bombshell, making everyone's ears buzz: "Time is running out, I won't say anything else. I called you all here today to inform you of the candidate for the assistant government."

"Assistant?"

"Change the word, entrust an orphan."

Chu Yao stood up and said, "My Lord, please don't joke with me!"

Shen Tang chuckled: "Why is Wu Hui doing this?"

Chu Yao could see countless futures, and he should be the calmest among all of them. He never expected that he would explode first. For a moment, the others didn't know whether to be shocked that the master was arranging funeral affairs at such a young age, or shocked that she was alone and was seriously entrusting her orphan to someone else...

Does she have anyone to turn to???

Shen Tang seemed to have Gu Chi's ability to read minds, and could tell what the ministers were thinking at a glance: "First, I'm not kidding. The lessons of the Wu Kingdom over a hundred years ago are still before us. Those who don't know this history can ask Mr. Wei, he knows it best."

Wei Lou's face turned dark.

If she wants to entrust her child to someone else's care, then just do it. What's the point of stepping on the Wu Kingdom?
Shen Tang faced Wei Lou's death glare and said shamelessly, "With the sudden loss of the lord and the undecided succession, the country will surely be in turmoil. Haha, while I am still alive, I will arrange my affairs first. Chu Wuhui, Qi Yuanliang, Qin Gongsu and Gu Wangchao, if anything happens to me, please put aside your personal grudges and put the people of Kangguo first. The people have suffered a lot in the troubled times."

She is well versed in moral blackmail.

But generally speaking, they would not kidnap their own family members.

This is the only exception I can make.

Not for the prosperity of the country, not for the master, but only for all living beings.

Chu Yao stared at the person sitting in the main seat. He had a lot to ask, but the words were stuck in his throat and he didn't know how to vent.

When he came to his senses, the lining of his shirt was already wet with sweat and stuck to his skin. The air was so heavy that it was suffocating, and even the tent and the faces in his vision began to flicker and shake. He didn't know what his body was doing, he just felt two forces coming from his shoulders pushing him down. Gu Chi and Qin Li's expressions were heavier than ever before.

When Qin Li spoke again, his voice was hoarse and inharmonic.

"May I ask, my lord, where is the crown prince?"

Shen Tang pointed in the direction of Jimo Qiu.

Now everyone's defense was broken and they refused in unison.

We agreed to live and die together, but now you are thinking about your own death first?
Just pat them on the butt and leave them behind?

Qin Li and his men reacted extremely fiercely, like angry lions and tigers, as if if Jimo Qiu dared to agree, they would immediately turn hostile and draw their swords to kill him. If he rebelled, he would rebel, and it would be fine if he accepted the charge. Gong Xichou keenly smelled the murderous intention.

He couldn't see his elder brother being roasted on the fire.

I just thought to myself that these scholars of letters usually looked gentle and refined, but I didn't expect them to be so aggressive and the air was full of murderous intent.

Shen Tang didn't want to shout at the top of her lungs, so she followed the authority dog's example and gave everyone a [Silence] to gain a moment of silence so that her voice could reach everyone's ears smoothly: "Hey, don't listen to half of what I said. I didn't say that the high priest is the crown prince. What I meant was that he can bring about the crown prince, and Lingde can be the crown prince's teacher in the future."

Lin Feng thought about the future that her teacher had spoiled for her.

The teacher of the crown prince is naturally also the future teacher of the emperor.

In that future, the master is still fine.

"...But he is a man. Even if we assume that a man can give birth to a woman, the union of yin and yang does not necessarily produce fruit. There are many cases in the world where men and women have been together for several years without any pregnancy." How can the master guarantee that he will get pregnant in one go? How can he guarantee that this child will definitely shoulder the responsibility? Even if they are willing to recognize the child, and the people are willing to recognize the child, the child may not die.

It is not unreasonable for ordinary people to pray for many children and good fortune.

If more than half of the children survive to adulthood, it is considered a blessing from their ancestors.

Shen Tang waved to Jimo Qiu.

The latter hesitated for two breaths, then raised his hand and produced the wooden staff.

Shen Tang used the Kind Mother Sword to cut a hole in her palm, and an invisible force wrapped in blood beads floated towards the wooden stick, or more precisely, the flower on the top of the wooden stick. Jimo Qiu also cut open his palm with a dagger without her instructions. The blood of the two merged into one in the air.

Under the gaze of everyone, it was completely absorbed by the little red flower.

Everyone could even vaguely hear a sound similar to that of a heart beating.

"With Yin wood as the soul, Yang wood as the spirit, and Qi as the body, the interaction of Yin and Yang can lead to pregnancy." After saying this, the wound on her palm began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. If people used their spiritual sense to perceive, they would find that the little red flower visible to the naked eye now had a vague outline of a person. The development process that takes a mother ten months of pregnancy is now speeding up, incredibly fast.

Everyone was stunned.

I couldn't take care of anything else for a while.

Gongyang Yongye secretly patted his thigh. This method of creating a baby was easy, cool and efficient. Why didn't Jimo Qiu teach him?

Shen Tang: "She is the crown prince who was born for the times."

This little red flower was accidentally found by her from the holy land of mountains and seas.

It is not a lie to say that this child was born out of necessity.

Everything in the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas is a legacy of the last civilization, with countless heroes sleeping there, some unwilling, some resentful, some expectant, some eager... Shen Tang used the creatures raised in the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas as her body, and gave it a complete soul with the Yin-Yang vines, thus forming an extremely special life. Rather than saying that he is the offspring of her, Shen Youli, it is better to say that he is the "hope" that connects the past and the future.

Closing the curtain for the old era and cutting the ribbon for the new era. Shen Tang didn't know about these arrangements at first, but after Shannian declared war on her, something seemed to have appeared in her mind, and strange memories quietly emerged in her mind. She was like opening a blind box, and even she herself didn't know what she would think of in the next second.

“All things come together, and in a month the fruit will be ripe and ripe.”

Lin Feng turned pale when he heard this.

I was screaming in my heart, “No, no, no!”

The current development is different from the future that the teacher has glimpsed. Shouldn't the crown prince be chosen one day after the world is stable, when the master happily holds the child and introduces the child's identity to the ministers? Instead of revealing the answer now and opening the prize in a month.

The future won’t match!
That is to say-

There may not be a master in the future???
This realization made Lin Feng almost clench his teeth, and he didn't even know when the strong smell of blood spread in his mouth. Shen Tang seemed not to notice the change in the expressions of the ministers: "I know everyone is anxious, but don't worry. I am just making arrangements for a rainy day, not really going to draw a sword and cut my neck. The account with Shan Nian must be settled clearly."

She is not necessarily the right one.

What if the person who got killed had good intentions?

Shen Tang had a feeling that as she remembered more and more about opening the blind box, her strength seemed to have changed subtly. Before this, she would never be able to donate a mouthful of blood and mix it with another person's blood to create a life. She didn't have that ability.

And just now, she did it naturally as the thought came to her mind.

Intuition tells me that the gap between her and Shan Nian should not be as big as before, and it is still unknown who will win. These officials don't need to mourn for me in advance. How embarrassing it would be if they cry too early?

Chu Yao forcibly broke through the [speech ban] and said in a hoarse voice: "Master, have you forgotten? Once the land sinks, no one will be spared. Whether Kang State has a crown prince or not will not affect anything."

We're all going to die together anyway.

unless--

Unless, she is sure that no matter whether she wins or loses in the fight with Shannian, she can enter the Four Poles to ensure that the land does not fall!

Shen Tang said: "The crown prince is still useful."

This answer also implicitly acknowledged Chu Yao's guess.

Chu Yao: "..."

The national seal is incomplete and the whereabouts of the coffin is unknown.

My Lord, is there any way to enter the legendary Four Poles?
"The ruler and his subjects are like the yin and yang of heaven and earth, the laws of nature."

Shen Tang looked at the group of people under her command, secretly thanking her for helping her to defeat Qi Shan indirectly, otherwise Qi Shan would have cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang himself, and she might not have been able to withstand them. She breathed a sigh of relief, it was rare for her to force everyone to obey her as the king.

"You all should obey my orders!"

After she said this, her tone suddenly softened.

His eyes were kind and indulgent: "Be good, just listen to me this time."

Shen Tang has always been generous with his patience towards them.

The eyes of Qin Li and others slowly turned red. If Shen Tang used the most inhuman tone and used her status as a monarch to force them to obey, they would have submitted no matter how unwilling they were in their hearts. But she chose to use this tone... It made people feel as if their hearts were being cut by a knife. It was even more heartbreaking than that.

The future is uncertain, but we still have to patiently coax them...

what is this?
_(:з　∠)_
The bond between the ruler and his subjects is stronger than gold.

Shen Tang summoned everyone to discuss matters this time, not to let them see the crown prince and inform the four ministers who were entrusted with the care of the orphan, but to determine the future strategic direction. This included but was not limited to the arrangements after conquering the Central Continent - the Central Continent's aristocratic families had a deep-rooted problem, and if they were not eradicated at this opportunity, they could continue to influence the Central Continent after they recovered.

Shen Tang's attitude can't even be said to be suggestive.

It is simply explicit.

In principle, she was strongly opposed to the massacre of the city, and she did not want her soldiers to reap huge profits from the massacre. However, everything has its pros and cons - the massacre of the city was indeed the fastest way to strike/clean up the cancer. Shen Tang allowed to make an exception this time!

Only slaughter the noble families in the central region!

[Remember to kill them all, and don't let the culprit live! ]

[Of the profits gained this time, you can share 70% of them. ]

This part does not even need to be taxed to the Ministry of Revenue.

In addition, Shen Tang also made personnel transfer arrangements in advance, transferring some of the six ministries in the capital to the local area, to be precise, the Central Continent, and letting the people from the branch company fill the vacancies of the officials in the capital. On the one hand, it gave the latter visible benefits to avoid conflicts between the two groups for interests, and on the other hand, it also controlled the Central Continent in the hands of Kangguo's absolute direct line.

Shen Tang trusted Xiahou Yu and his team, but he didn't trust the newcomers who were absorbed by the rapidly expanding forces. It was prudent to break up this group of unstable potentials. The list involved as many as 300 people, and their placement required a comprehensive consideration of their personal contributions, abilities, family backgrounds, and moral character. After a whole night of discussion, they reluctantly reached an agreement...

Chu Yao: [How does the Lord plan to deal with the Southeast? ]

Shen Tang said: [Zhai Xiaofang is a gentleman, so I can't be a villain. If he wants to fight, then fight. Whether he lives or dies depends on his ability.]

Chu Yao: [What if he surrenders? ]

To be honest, Chu Yao hoped that Zhai Le would sacrifice his life for his country.

Only when he, the backbone of the country, died, could the country of Qu truly fall apart. Zhai Le's situation was different from Wu Xian's. Wu Xian did not have the cohesion and appeal of Zhai Le in the country of Qu. Chu Yao was not afraid that Zhai Le would go back on his word in the future, he was just afraid of hidden dangers.

Hidden dangers mean that we must always be on guard.

Shen Tang said: [If he dares to surrender, I will dare to accept it. ]

This was said without any reluctance.

Shen Tang indeed hoped that Zhai Le would surrender to him.

【I'm going to say something that Wu Zhaode may not like to hear. I accepted him, so there's no reason not to accept Zhai Xiaofang. What does it matter if Zhai Xiaofang has prestige in Qu State? How can it compare to the will of the people of Kang State? If Qu State is included in the territory, the people of Qu State will also be the people of Kang State. In this world, only politicians worry about changing situations, while the people only worry about food and clothing, and worry about the right time, right place, and right people. 】

Facing Chu Yao and others, she was full of confidence and ambition.

Is it true?

I'm still a little worried.

Worried that something bad might happen to him at Shan Nian's hands, if Zhai Le dared to surrender, Chu Yao and the others would most likely not accept it. Even if they did, they would not let Zhai Le live for too long and would rather let him die of illness in a decent manner.

Disgraceful——

Even if they fabricate evidence, they will kill the person as a traitor.

[By the way, Wuhui, I remember that I owed Zhai Xiaofang a debt in my early years. If... please remember to pay it back for me.]

No matter what, spare his life.
