stand back, let me come

Chapter 1523 1522: Finale (Twenty-Five) [Seeking monthly votes]

For some reason, Tan Qu felt like sighing at this moment.

Fortunately, there were no unexpected problems on the rest of the journey.

Although Qi Shan and Yu Hai had personal conflicts, they kept their official business in mind and did not neglect the overall situation. He ordered people to properly settle the envoys from Qu State. As the prime minister of Qu State, Yu Hai had an independent tent, and the others were nearby. When the officials of Kang State wanted to lead Tan Qu away, he raised his hand to stop them: "No, he will go with me."

The Qu State delegation was not surprised by this.

On the way here, they discovered that Yu Xiang had a special relationship with this young man with a mysterious background, and he didn't want others to have contact with the young man, looking very mysterious. They didn't have a close relationship with Yu Hai, and they didn't want to learn from that gossipy person to gossip about him.

Formal negotiations took place on the second day.

Tan Qu stayed up late to help Yu Hai sort out the complicated documents. When he heard Yu Hai say that he would take him there, he said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

That was not the occasion for him to appear.

"What's wrong with that? I'm already here."

Tan Quwei said with difficulty: "It's just——"

Yu Hai knew his concerns: "I have already told Qi Yuanliang in advance that you are afraid of light and have a strange disease, so you have to wear a veil. Although he is heartless, he is not mean and unruly, and he will not embarrass you. If he insists on embarrassing you, he will be ashamed to death."

The corners of Tan Qu's mouth twitched slightly.

A hint of hesitation and confusion flashed across the boy's face.

Gui Long's ability to judge people is quite reliable. He said in person that Qi Zhongshu is not a mean and unruly person, which shows that the latter has good character. If so, why would he have a murderous grudge against me? There must be some misunderstanding here. Tan Qu took a quick glance at Qi Shan yesterday and felt that this person was amiable, lovely and pitiful, and he felt an intuitive liking for him. That natural liking even surpassed Gui Long when he first met him.

Tan Qu said: "Okay, I'll do it for you."

The location is not in a tent but in an open air dining room.

The atmosphere of the first negotiation...

This fully proves that the spirit of both Qukang and China is heroic and bold.

Civil officials quarreled with each other, and military officers cursed at each other, their faces flushed and their necks thickened, and their voices became several degrees hoarse after a round. Tan Qu finally understood why the location was in the open air instead of in the tent. If there was a tent, there would not be enough air, and the space would not be enough for them to perform.

Tan Qu was the only person present who sat upright and did not say a word, and from time to time he had to dodge the saliva that flew over his head.

His expression was somewhat numb.

Although his memory was incomplete, he still had fantasies about the royal court.

I always feel that these high-ranking officials who decide the future of a country should be elegant and refined, maintaining a perfect face and manners at all times, speaking with reason and convincing others. Instead of losing their manners, wanting to poke their fingers into the faces of others, wanting to take off the shoes that have been covering their feet for ten days or half a month and stuff them into their mouths, is there something wrong?
This scene is even noisier than bargaining in the market.

Tan Qu wanted to take a sip of tea.

However, his eyesight was too good, and he clearly saw a large piece of saliva with golden halos under the sunlight floating into the teacup. He stretched out his fingers and retracted them. He had to grope around his waist and untie the water bag he carried with him. This water bag was specially made, and it was not filled with water, but special meat jelly. It would come in handy when he was hungry or thirsty.

Just after I finished drinking, someone's shoes flew over my head.

The clogs fell to the ground and rolled several times.

This movement seemed to press a magic switch.

The situation, which had been relatively restrained, suddenly got out of control.

Some were tearing their clothes, some were pulling their hair, some were slapping themselves on the face and mocking the other side. The character was elevated to family style, and the customs of the people were elevated to national conditions. The civil officials despised the military generals for being rude and barbaric, and the military generals mocked the civil officials for sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor. One side used map cannon to mock the northerners for being uncivilized, sarcastic, stingy and only knowing how to bargain. The other side fought back and cursed the southern barbarians for being ignorant, asking for exorbitant prices and being shameless.

The initial negotiation lasted two hours.

One of them was arguing for an hour and a half.

Fortunately, no one was killed.

Tan Qu completely disenchanted all the officials in the royal court.

The scene was in a mess. Some people had suspicious scratches on their faces and their eye sockets were bruised and black, looking extremely miserable.

But it has to continue after noon.

Tan Qu said: "Guilong, I won't go this afternoon."

Yu Hai frowned as he looked through the morning's harvest, secretly cursing Qi Yuanliang for being a master at falsifying accounts and earning money without doing anything. He was very good at bargaining. If Qi Shan refused to give in, the benefits that the Qu State could gain would not be great. Qi Shan was also good at making false statements and flattering others. What if he went to whisper in Shen Youli's ear...

"Why don't you want to go?"

"It's a bit noisy."

That is to say, Tan Qu was not involved because he was in the back position.

If I had sat closer to the front, I would have been unable to avoid the fight.

Yu Hai was not surprised: "It's always like this."

He thought that only the Qu Kingdom would have a fight every now and then, but he didn't expect that the Kang Kingdom was also experienced. The two sides were equally powerful and the fight was hard to decide. The difference was that if the court was too chaotic, Zhai Le or Shen Youli would come forward to intimidate the ministers and prevent the war from escalating. But now the negotiations were led by him and Qi Shan, and they already had a personal grudge.

The tearing will only get worse.

Tan Qu said faintly: "I didn't think it should be like this."

Yu Hai chuckled, "What do you think it should be like? The civil and military officials stand on both sides, the eunuchs sing 'If you have something to say, report it, if not, leave the court', and the civil and military officials below are in harmony and orderly, you step out and finish speaking, then I speak, and I finish speaking, then he speaks? Even if the two sides have different opinions, they will not interrupt each other and talk calmly and reasonably?"

Tan Qu was slightly embarrassed: "Shouldn't it be like this?"

Yu Hai: "Why do you think there are so many materials for the Hu board?"

Of course, it is not just used to take notes, but also the only legal, compliant and lethal weapon when you are unarmed.

He got so angry that he swung his tablet and hit the person in the face.

Tan Qu: “…”

Yu Hai laughed and said, "Not to mention the use of force in court, even after court, the anger is still there and it is common for colleagues to be beaten up."

Officials could even fight on the palace roads.

Tan Qu: “…”

For some reason, I feel that becoming an official is not a good thing.

Although he can bring welfare to the people, he is not good at fighting.

Seeing him like this, Yu Hai didn't make things difficult for him: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. You met Qi Yuanliang today, what do you think of him?"

Tan Qu said: "Very frank."

Yu Hai thought of Qi Shan's sarcastic words and really didn't know where his "frankness" came from: "Le Zheng, now that this matter is over, I will find a doctor from Xinglin to check your eye disease."

He became blind at a young age.

Tan Qu: “…”

It didn't take Yu Hai a moment to feel full of energy.

Just by looking at their backs you can tell there’s a tough battle ahead.

Tan Qu was patient. When he finished reading several difficult and obscure volumes, the sun had already set in the west, and Yu Hai and the others had no intention of returning. He thought about the scene in the morning, got up to prepare medicine for wounds and honeysuckle honey water for clearing heat and moistening the throat, and followed the instructions to the Kangguo Injured Soldiers Camp. Before the negotiations, the two countries had only had a small-scale conflict in a local area, and there were no wounded soldiers in the Injured Soldiers Camp, so it was very idle at the moment.

Upon hearing Tan Qu's request to borrow medicine to reduce swelling and bruises, the medical soldier did not make things difficult for him. She just asked Tan Qu to come in and wait while she went to prepare it.

Tan Qu bowed: "Thank you."

The doctor asked curiously, "Why are you dressed like this, sir?"

Tan Qu: "I suffer from a strange disease called photophobia."

At this moment, the setting sun had already sunk into the horizon. Yu Hai had never said that Tan Qu could not show his true face to others, and Qi Shan was not here either, so he took off his veil and explained, "You must not expose your skin to sunlight, otherwise you will get red and have rashes all over your body, and in severe cases, you may even get ulcers..."

"Have you ever sought medical advice from a doctor in the medical department for your strange illness? I heard that the doctors in the medical department are most fond of these difficult and complicated diseases. If your strange illness is strange enough, I guess the doctors in the medical department will even pay you to see them." The doctor thought that he looked strange and scary, but he didn't expect that under the veil he had a handsome face. He was a little surprised, and after a second look, the doctor showed hesitation.

"Did you scare the lady?" The doctor said, "The gentleman looks very kind."

Tan Qu's heart skipped a beat: "Looks kind?"

According to the time calculation, he and Qi Shan had a murderous feud more than 20 years ago. It is impossible that Qi Zhongshu would circulate his portrait throughout the military camp more than 20 years later to warn people about his face, right?
How much hatred is this?
Fortunately, the doctor's next words dispelled his worries.

"My dear, you look very much like the medical team."

They are so similar that even the parents of the Medical Team could not give birth to children who look so alike.

"Pray... for the medical team?"

Who is this person?
Talk about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come.

The doctor's eyes lit up, and he waved behind Tan Qu, calling Qi Miao who was passing by. She thought it was a fellow student asking for advice, but the doctor just smiled and said, "Come and take a look."

Qi Miao was puzzled: "What are you looking at?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the young man with his back to her turn around.

He revealed a face that was very similar to Qi Miao's, but the boy was a little childish, while Qi Miao's facial features were softer as a woman. From certain angles, people who didn't know the truth would think they were twins. Qi Miao was startled, and Tan Qu was also surprised.

"My name is Qi Miao, my courtesy name is Jun Qiao. May I ask your name, sir?"

"Tan Qu, courtesy name Le Zheng."

When this name came out, Qi Miao's eyelids twitched.

Except for a few confidants of the lord of Kang State, only Qi Miao knew Qi Shan's true identity. Tan Qu, Tan Lezheng, this identity clearly belonged to her father Qi Shan, how did it become the identity of the young man in front of her? Looking at the young man's appearance and age, Qi Miao became more and more confused.

This can't be a coincidence of having the same name, right?
Qi Miao chose to remain in place.

Try to find out the origin of Tan Qu indirectly.

Tan Qu did not hide anything either, saying that he was a guest at the residence of Yu Hai, the Prime Minister of Qu State, and that he was invited by the master of the residence to come with the Qu State delegation to see the world. This answer was impeccable.

Qi Miao said: "You have seen the world? How do you feel?"

Tan Qu: "You are all heroic and valiant."

Qi Miao knew what the mess was like without even thinking about it, and couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to cover up for them, it's as chaotic as a vegetable market, right? I ran into them when I was qualified to go to court to see the emperor for the first time... I was so scared at that time that I thought I was still dreaming."

The court meeting in Kangguo was full of martial virtue.

He blasted his colleagues and cursed the heavens and the earth.

Qi Miao's kindness made Tan Qu relax.

The two soon discovered that they not only looked alike, but also had similar preferences, especially in terms of their views on good and evil. This tacit understanding quickly brought them closer, and even made Tan Qu forget the purpose of his visit. It was not until Qi Miao invited him to the military cafeteria that he suddenly woke up and tried to decline. But the doctor was too talkative and revealed that he had a strange disease.

Qi Miao said enthusiastically: "The best doctor in Kangguo, Xinglin, is my mentor. I can introduce a few to Le Zheng."

Tan Qu sighed, "There is no cure for this strange disease."

"How do you know it can't be cured without trying it?"

Tan Qu had never seen a place like the canteen in the Kangguo military camp. When he found that today's dishes included pig blood, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

One dish and one soup are enough.

Qi Miao felt that he ate too little.

It is said that a young boy can make his father poor, and Tan Qu's appetite is just enough to fill her teeth. But seeing Tan Qu's expression, Qi Miao guessed that the northern dishes were not to his liking, so she did not force him to eat.

They didn't arrive early, and the cafeteria was full of people.

Qi Miao thought he would have to sit on the floor again, but suddenly he noticed an empty seat in the corner, so he squeezed over with Tan Qu.

"Can we share a table?"

One big and one small looked up at the same time.

The two faces scared Qi Miao so much that he almost threw the plate away.

"Lord, Lord..."

Shen Tang glanced at Qi Miao and Tan Qu, his expression was subtle for a moment: "Sit down, there are vacancies here, don't be shy."

"Thank you."

Qi Miao did not reveal Shen Tang's identity.

She knew from her father that the master had returned, but she didn't expect that their first meeting would be in the military camp cafeteria. The master impatiently stuffed the food into the prince's mouth, and his movements were not gentle at all.

Tan Qu, who remained silent the entire time, couldn't stand it anymore.

"The baby is so tender, you are too eager to feed him."

I always have to wait for someone to chew a few more bites before I eat the next one.

Shen Tang glanced over.

In a lukewarm tone, he asked, "Why don't you feed him?"

Tan Qu sighed and asked the chubby girl for her opinion.

Fortunately, the little girl did not resist him.

He was indeed more patient than Shen Tang, and his movements were delicate and gentle.

Shen Tang suddenly asked: "Have you seen Qi Yuanliang?"

Tan Qu was so shocked that he almost broke out in a cold sweat: "Hmm..."

Good man, is his murderous feud with Qi Zhongshu really an open secret? How much does this enemy hate her that even the King of Kangguo knows about him? Otherwise, she wouldn't ask such a question.

"How did he say?"

Tan Qu said: "Qi Jun didn't say anything."

"No reaction?"

Shen Tang even stopped eating.

Tan Qu pondered and said, "No, I think it's because...time has passed and Qi Jun's mind has become better than before, and he has seen through it..."

Many things from ancient to modern times are all being discussed with laughter.

What kind of grudges and hatred can’t be looked down upon?

Shen Tang chewed over Tan Qu's words carefully and blinked blankly. She had no idea that Yuan Liang had attained enlightenment. When did this happen? Could it be that she had stimulated him when she repaired the four pillars half a year ago? Thinking carefully, this guess was not impossible.

She sighed, "I see. This may be a good thing."

If you are too obsessed, you will easily become possessed.

To put it more concretely, the mental illness worsens.

Qishan's mental illness has two focuses, one is her, the other is "Qishan". Now that he is back, "Qishan" has also appeared in front of him in a special form. He can deal with these two things calmly, which shows that his mental illness is close to recovery.

Tan Qu nodded in agreement.

Yes, that’s the truth!

(σ)σ:*☆

I have been restraining myself from buying anything. I can’t buy anything during 618. I can’t buy any more than 49 keyboards. But on the last day of the event, for some reason, an order appeared in the background.

Sadness, sighing, helplessness.
