stand back, let me come

Chapter 1520 1519: Finale (Twenty-two) [Seeking monthly votes]

Zhai Le returned in the morning dew.

Before I could catch my breath, I received the news that Yu Hai wanted to see me.

Zhai Le's body stiffened, his expression slightly unnatural. He glanced at Yu Hai, and noticed that he was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. Yu Hai had a habit of not being frugal, and he would change his clothes every day if conditions allowed. He was even reported by the Censorate for this habit, criticizing Yu Hai for his extravagance. But Yu Hai ignored him: "Gui Long didn't come home last night?"

Yu Hai said: "Yesterday I was only looking at the man named Lin."

Zhai Le sighed and said, "Oh, how many groups of people went?"

Lin Feng's words of persuasion shook the hearts of many pro-war factions, but people who wanted her life continued to come one after another. Zhai Le knew without thinking how lively the posthouse was last night, and it was probably a river of blood.

“It doesn’t matter how many groups of people there are.”

"Then what's important?"

"The important thing is to guard against Lin Lingde's hidden evil. If I hadn't stepped in in time, I would have suspected that she would have hurt herself so as to frame you and drive you into a dead end." Yu Hai was Zhai Le's trusted strategist for many years, and he was also a close friend. The two of them were no longer just a monarch and a minister. "Why don't you think about what kind of person Shen Youli is?"

Zhai Le opened his mouth.

His intuition made him put aside his doubts about the first sentence and answer the second one: "She is chivalrous and righteous, and she loves people and animals."

A general and a king are two completely different identities. Zhai Le thought that he had changed beyond recognition. If he wanted to be a good king, he had to give up some of the general's qualities and even his ethics. But when he saw Shen Youli again after many years, he was surprised to find that Shen Youli was no different from before, with the same enthusiasm and sincerity. That's why he went against his usual practice and asked Lin Feng twice yesterday.

Yu Hai: "Then do you think she would deliberately force you to death?"

Zhai Le remained silent.

After a long while, he said, "If she is still the Shen Youli I know, she probably won't. She has countless upright ways to kill me, and she is unwilling and disdainful to use conspiracy to plot against me... But people change. I am familiar with her back then, but not with her now."

Lin Feng answered both times with such confidence.

Zhai Le naturally chose to believe it.

After all, he knew Shen Tang but not Lord Shen.

Yu Hai said: "What if this was Lin Feng's initiative? Or was it her and Qi Yuanliang's idea? Shen Youli has no idea."

"Shen Youli's tolerant nature doesn't mean she is not strict with her subordinates."

Lin Feng and the other two are her confidants. If even her confidants don't listen to Shen Youli, how can he conquer such a big country as Kang?

Zhai Le smiled, but the smile suddenly disappeared.

Yu Hai knew that he and he were thinking the same thing: "What if Shen Youli is not in Kangguo? She is not here in person."

Zhai Le asked seriously, "You want me to take advantage of someone's misfortune?"

When his friends are not at home, he goes to bully a five or six month old baby?
Yu Hai wanted to roll his eyes: "How can this be called taking advantage of someone's misfortune?"

There is no way he can beat his friend at home.

Zhai Le: "..."

Yu Hai: "...Have you made a decision?"

Zhai Le pursed his lips and avoided Yu Hai's gaze: "I can't risk the lives of my relatives and innocent soldiers for a small possibility. If it were just me, I would fight to the last drop of blood and not surrender, but I am not like that. I can't do that."

If you want to fight, you must use Zhai as a stake to show your determination.

And this happens to be Zhai Le's weak spot.

Yu Hai said that Shen Tang had a high probability of not coming back, and Kang Guo was just bluffing now, and he was indeed moved for a moment. If he was still young, if he was still free of ties, he might have the courage to bet on that one in ten thousand chance. He would rather die standing than live on his knees.

Yu Hai didn't try to persuade him any further.

He only asked, "Have you ever thought about your reputation after death?"

For a brave warrior who regards the pursuit of martial arts as his lifelong career, surrendering without a fight is always shameful, no matter what the reason. If Zhai Le makes this choice, his heart of Taoism will be ruined, and he will stop here for the rest of his life, and future generations will not understand him.

I dare not imagine how harsh the insults will be.

Offend the remaining pro-war factions in Qu State at one time.

It would be better to take a risk and bet that his friends are not at home and take advantage of the situation to bully Kang Guo, who is the head of a baby of a few months old.

Zhai Le: "..."

Yu Hai had a headache: "Have you ever thought about me?"

If Qu Guo surrendered, I can’t imagine how arrogant Qi Shan would be.

Zhai Le: “I’m sorry.”

Yu Hai waved his hands and sighed: "...that's all."

It should be said that Zhai Le and Zhai Huan are indeed cousins. They seem to be one literary and one martial, one quiet and one active, but in fact they are exactly the same, both willful in nature. Zhai Huan said he would let go, and Zhai Le is not much better now. What an injustice.

Although Zhai Le had made his choice, he could not surrender easily. He met Lin Feng privately the next day and expressed only one meaning - they could talk, but neither Lin Feng nor Qi Shan had the right to talk to him, nor were they qualified to guarantee the future livelihood of the people and officials of Qu State. He wanted to see Kang State's true sincerity.

No sincerity, no talk.

"I will convey Lord Zhai's words verbatim."

There was no flaw on Lin Feng's face.

She returned with a letter written by Zhai Le.

After the troops sent by Qi Shan received the person, Xu Quan also breathed a sigh of relief: "...If it is delayed for another two days, the Grand Tutor will be worried that you have been detained as a sacrifice. Reorganize the troops and attack Qu State."

Lin Feng was feeling troubled.

"If it is detained, it will be a good thing."

That way there would be a ready-made reason to start a war, and we would have a legitimate reason to do so.

Lin Feng went to see Qi Shan immediately and told him the results of the negotiation in detail: "Zhai Xiaofang will not give up until she sees the Lord... I suspect that the news has leaked and let Quguo know something. Otherwise, why would Zhai Xiaofang do this?"

But their reasons are also reasonable.

Kangguo's refusal actually shows that he has something to hide.

Qi Shan's attention was elsewhere. He said, "He is a prince, a duke, and has a fief of 10,000 households. Isn't that enough sincerity?"

Looking back at the turbulent times, how many royal families of fallen nations received such treatment?

Even if the roots are not wiped out, we must keep a low profile and behave ourselves.

Lin Feng: "The biggest problem right now is that we still have no news from the master... If the master were here, why would we be constrained by this?"

Chu Yao taught Lin Feng that he should use open strategies when possible, and use secret strategies when open strategies don't work. Secret strategies should only be used as a last resort. Lin Feng also follows this principle in his daily actions.

Qi Shan said: "Since he wants to see it, let him see it."

He asked someone to deliver the letter to Shen Tang.

Lin Feng suddenly turned her head and a thought that made her ecstatic surged in her heart: "Qi Zhongshu means that the master..."

"Well, I'm back, not long after you left on your mission."

Lin Feng covered his pounding heart and cried with joy.

That moment of peace seemed as if the soul had found a home.

Shen Tang had not expected what choice her friend had made. She had been busy these past two days getting familiar with government affairs, and taking the time to cultivate a relationship with the new face in the household registration book. To be precise, she was working late into the night, reviewing memorials, and Jimo Qiu played an enlightenment animation for Shen De. [The high priest developed a new use for his divine power. ]

The divine power transformed into various animals and plants, which would come alive and immediately attracted Shen De's attention. When they were tired of watching the animation, Shen Tang threw them a book of revised memorials and used it to teach Shen De to recognize words.

This memorial has the most neatly written handwriting.

Since Shen Tang was a fragile person now, Chu Yao and others did not dare to tire her. The memorials sent every day were the most important and required her to make decisions. Even so, she was still busy until the middle of the night before turning off the candles. Shen Tang bent down and collected the memorials that Shen De had thrown on the ground.

Jimo Qiu said: "Your Highness doesn't understand this yet."

If he hadn't stopped it, who knows how many copies of the memorial would have survived.

"If she tears it up, then tear it up. Just make another copy."

The memorials were not originals, but copies were made as many times as needed.

Of course, this matter cannot be known to a fourth person.

If this gets out, Shen Tang will also be nagged by the Censorate.

_(:з　∠)_
Normally, she would criticize Shen De, but Shen De was only a few months old, so she could only blame her parents if she got into trouble. Shen Tang had just cleaned up the table when she saw the long-neglected Investiture of the Gods on the corner of the table. Shen De also used the Investiture of the Gods as a tool to sharpen his teeth.

There were several wet spots, all wet with saliva.

Shen Tang: "...I almost forgot."

Although Shen Tang was wealthy and had emptied his family fortune to repair the four pillars with merits and virtues, and also used some of his own roots, the four pillars were now as solid as a rock, and theoretically did not need to be reinforced by the Conferred God List. However, the greatest use of this Conferred God List was not just to stabilize the four pillars.

Instead, raise a herd of indestructible cattle and horses.

Shen Tang's memory was restored, and the things she didn't understand before were now clear to her. For example, she could read the obscure and complex ancient characters on the Investiture of the Gods, and also knew the corresponding names of the people these characters represented.

Open it and take a look——

Haha, as expected, a lot of enemies.

Looking around, most of them were sent by her.

The true spirits on the List of Gods were still fighting and killing each other, but the moment Shen Tang cast his gaze, all the true spirits seemed to sense something.

Shen Tang's sight penetrated the disguise of the List of Gods and saw the real spirits scattered on a closed land. These real spirits maintained their appearance in life and were about the size of a thumb. They all looked up at the "giant", and the "giant" was also looking at them dimly.

[Brother, did she see us? ]

[Like, the look in his eyes is completely different from before.]

The True Spirits were mumbling and talking to each other, rarely stopping their life-and-death fight. Shen Tang swept his eyes across the entire Conferred God List without saying a word. Just when the True Spirits thought it was an illusion, an oracle came from the sky, stirring up a thousand waves.

Jimo Qiu put Shen De, who was drooling in his sleep, down.

When I came back, I just saw Shen Tang rolling up the Investiture of the Gods.

"Your Highness, have you decided where they should go?"

Shen Tang said calmly: "Two billion merits, we must earn some back at least. It's free labor, so it's better not to use it."

The list of conferred gods selects true spirits not by whether they did good or evil in their lifetime, but only by whether they are qualified to enter the calamity. Once they enter the calamity, it proves that their fate is different from that of ordinary people. Such people are the best cattle and horses. It is best to have great merits, which are easy to control. There is no need to feel bad when squeezing true spirits that have no merits but do evil. As long as this list of conferred gods is still there, they are tools that will not die suddenly, and the holy bodies of cattle and horses that earn merits.

Although Shen Tang repaired the four pillars, it could only last for a thousand years. The planet under his feet was unwilling to renew the lease for the human race. After a thousand years, what was supposed to sink would still sink. Therefore, if the human race wanted to gain living space, they had to expand their territory into the starry sky within a thousand years.

The cattle and horses in The Investiture of the Gods are the best missions for pioneering new land.

The human race as a whole has also been tortured by natural disasters and man-made disasters for thousands of years, and their physique has mutated, and these characteristics have been completely inherited through genes. For example, warriors with higher strength can fully withstand certain planetary environments with harsh conditions. Shen Tang counted on her fingers and calculated that if everything went well, she could probably get back 40 to 50 billion merits.

Jimo Qiu: "Your Highness wants to reshape their bodies?"

Shen Tang: "How can you be so free?"

The easiest way to let the true spirit obtain a physical body is to reshape the body. Shen Tang's root system is a good material. The second is to throw it into reincarnation and reincarnate. Shen Tang finds it troublesome, and the other is that the identities of these enemies in their lifetime are too hateful.

No matter what, you have to clean it before use.

Shen Tang sought everyone's opinion and threw them into reincarnation.

These true spirits are all souls marked by the List of Conferred Gods. No matter how many times they reincarnate, they can be found by the List of Conferred Gods. After reincarnation, when a certain opportunity comes, their memories will be restored. Shen Tang is not afraid of losing them.

"It will be mature and usable in eighteen years."

Not all true spirits were sent into reincarnation by her. Some true spirits were given special permission to appear in the dreams of their relatives before reincarnation.

"What if you still do evil after 18 years?"

"I have plenty of patience."

If one reincarnation fails, you will be sent to reincarnate a second time.

There will always be a reincarnation of a human being.

Jimo Qiu: "..."

It's him who worries too much.

It was late at night and it was not convenient for him to stay in the main tent for long.

But what he didn't know was that not long after he left, a thin little paper man crawled out from a memorial and clapped his hands.

As soon as he stretched, his eyes met Shen Tang's.

After a burst of white mist, the little paper man turned into a giant panda.

Who else could it be if not the panda hero from that day?
The panda warrior walked slowly to the list of gods and patted the list with his paw: "Your ministers are quite interesting."

I secretly inspected it for a while and became more and more satisfied.

Shen Tang looked down at it and said, "Just say what you want to say."

Panda Warrior: "Try BOSS Direct Hire."

It walked to Shen Tang's main seat, and another puff of white mist appeared. The giant panda disappeared, replaced by a tall and heroic figure. The woman leaned on the table with her elbows and showed Shen Tang a determined smile: "You and I are now grasshoppers on the same rope. You can't bear to see your precious baby fall into endless reincarnation, and I am also worried about the future development of the tribe. So, how about you and I join forces?"

Shen Tang: "How do we join forces?"

The Panda Warrior raised his eyebrows: "I'm missing a demon master here."

Shen Tang: "..."

Silence is not a rejection but a serious consideration of the possibility.

The panda hero in front of him was also a victim of the destruction of Tiandao Lao Deng. He was once the demon king of the ancient demon clan, but because he disrupted the rise and fall plan set by Tiandao, he was targeted and suffered a lot. From this point of view, he and Shen Tang are indeed on the same boat.

If the other party helps, Shen Tang can steal Qishan and others and send them to the demon tribe after they die. The demon tribe has been despised for many years and has only received some compensation in recent years. The demon tribe, which is dwindling in population, does need a demon master who understands the rules of order to guide them. It is more appropriate for the panda hero to come forward than for Shen Tang to come forward personally to protect them.

"how?"

The panda warrior extends his bear paw of cooperation.

Shen Tang faced off with him.

"It's a word."

Today I picked 100 kilograms of bayberry to make canned bayberry. The canning factory was so stuffy and there were so many people that I couldn't even queue up.
