stand back, let me come

Chapter 39: 039
"It's related to the spirit of words, it's related to the spirit of words... This is a breakthrough." Qi Shan paced back and forth holding the piece of paper, listening to him whisper, "I have heard similar methods of hiding secrets before. Pass the message. It's just rare and not many people will."

"So advanced?"

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment.

She said it casually, but she didn't expect that there was a secret speech.

Seeing Qi Shan's movement of Wen Xin, condensing Wen Qi in the palm of his hand, with a solemn expression, Shen Tang faintly felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

"Yuanliang, could it be that you are overthinking it? It's just the servant of Goulan Washer... Even if he is the top reserve officer, it is difficult for him to come into contact with such a rare language, right? Take a step back, even if you can, what would it be? Heavy news is worthy of this position?"

Qi Shan hangs his palm on the paper, the palm is condensed with cyan, and he slowly perceives it, not forgetting to be distracted to deal with Shen Tang's questions.

"Where do you think Xiaocheng is?"

Shen Tang shook her head honestly: "I don't know."

She really doesn't know.

Yuan Liang's question obviously involves the current situation.But her current understanding of the world stems from Qi Shan, his Word Spirit Scroll and all the way she has seen and heard, which is only an extremely limited corner of the world.

No matter how hard she tried to understand, most of the people she came into contact with were the people at the bottom.Most of them can't even provide food and clothing, and they don't care who the local state and county governors are, what their achievements are, let alone the general trend of the world, and they have no way of knowing.

They only know that the world is difficult and happy.

Shen Tang's answer was expected, and there was no disappointment or other emotions. If Shen Xiaolangjun suddenly became aware of everything, he would have to doubt whether this person was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.So, for the first time, he revealed something to Shen Tang.

The tip of the iceberg about the overall situation of the world.

He said: "I said earlier that Zheng Qiao, commander of the Geng Kingdom, will bring his own demise within five years, not only because this person acts violently, acts sinisterly, and uses unpopular methods, but there is also an important reason - he wants to swallow the wolf. To drive away a tiger is to seek skin from a tiger.”

Shen Tang subconsciously sat upright and listened attentively.

After a little thought, I guessed a little.

"Yuanliang means... the former country of Xin was a 'wolf', but now the 'wolf' is dead, and that 'tiger' has become Zheng Qiao's confidant? Who is the 'tiger'?" Shen Tang thought of Qi Shan There are also small-scale maps in that pile of books, describing the location of the countries in the northwest.

The positions of Xin and Geng countries are not very good.

All on the edge of the continent.

However, it is precisely this that allows the two countries to avoid the most serious mainland hinterland.Compared with the unfortunate state of Geng country, which is neighbors in all directions, and beaten every three or five times, Xin country is slightly better. The northwest is an endless series of steep mountains, and the dangerous gates are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Qishan replied: "This 'tiger' is ten black."

Shen Tang said, "Ten Wu?"

The Shiwu were the barbarian forces outside the continuous mountains of the Xin Kingdom.

They believed that the Golden Crows fell here, they also inhabited and reproduced here, and their descendants continued to grow, so they called themselves "Ten Crows", which is simply "the descendants of ten Golden Crows".Shen Tang suspected that they were dreaming to cross the ocean - thinking too wide, Pengci hit the sun's head.

Because before the thief star landed, Shiwu didn't have this name at all.They just accidentally learned that there is such a mythical story about the language spirit hidden in the thief star, so they put themselves on the map.The key is that it has been passed around for 200 years, and the effect has really spread.

Whether outsiders believe it or not is second, they believe it anyway.

The descendants of the Golden Crow are so noble!
Shen Tang guessed part of the truth after thinking for a while: "If Shiwu is a 'tiger'... So, Zheng Qiao's capture of Xin Guo was not because of how terrifying the national strength of the Geng country he led, but the advantage of the right time and place? Because of the opportunity of natural and man-made disasters and political turmoil, Xin Guo secretly united with Shi Wu, let Shi Wu send troops to harass, attract Xin Guo’s troops, and Geng country will send troops to attack again?”

Xin Guo has always had internal worries, and Shi Wu is constantly harassing and doing things at the border. It is inevitable that he will neglect the prevention of Geng country.

Finally led to the current situation.

Qi Shan nodded approvingly.

Shen Tang asked again: "But what does this have to do with Xiaocheng?"

Xiaocheng is the county seat of Sibao County. It is not connected to the border mountains, and it has nothing to do with Shiwu.

Qi Shan said: "Because the parents of the county governor of Sibao County were born in Shiwu. The two were dissatisfied with the struggle for power within the tribe, and decided to take their young children away from their homeland, hiding their names, and finally settled in Xin. I still read the Ten Crows. By chance, I got in touch with the tribal forces on my parents' side and became one of the Ten Crows' eyeliners."

Shen Tang was stunned, and at the same time looked at Qi Shan curiously: "This is the secret of life and family, the county guard can't even hold it in time, how do you know?"

Where is this ordinary "guide NPC"?
The secrets on her body are like an old sow wearing a bra, layer upon layer.If you dig deep, you are afraid it will be a deep pit.

Shen Tang secretly observed Qi Shan's expression from the corner of his eye. Seeing that he did not have a particularly big mood swing, he hesitated and changed his words: "If it is inconvenient to tell me, then I will not ask."

Qishan: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but it's a long story, and I can't explain it clearly in a while. As long as you know that the Sibao County governor has two sides, it's not a good thing. Qiao's courtier, he is used to flattering, and will do whatever he can to please Zheng Qiao, but he still works for Shi Wu secretly."

As he spoke, he brought back the topic that had gone astray.

"Sibao County has a special geographical location. It can be attacked and defended. It is a state and county at the junction of Xin and Geng, and it is also the only way for nearby countries to go south. There are waterways. In the hinterland, Sibao County must be taken."

Shen Tang took a deep breath.

"Is the ten black conspiracy so big?"

The mountains that blocked them from going south were not conquered, so they thought about how to go after conquering the countries in the northwest?

As expected of the master who dares to touch porcelain in the sun.

"They really dare to plot such a big thing. It used to be a daydream, but now—" Qi Shan glanced at Shen Tang, who lowered his head, and said quietly, "It's not impossible. The national seal of Xin Guo has been lost, and Zheng Qiao is the master of violence again. , he can't appease the people's hearts, the national spirit and national destiny condensed by the Chinese seal in his hand may not be able to maintain the border barrier on the other side of the mountain range. The ambition of the ten black wolves may really be able to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cross that mountain range."

Xiaocheng is a step they buried deep.

Of course, even if Shiwu didn't wire in Xiaocheng, Qishan would have to come, one for revenge, and the other for layout.

In one's life, life is mediocre, and death is suffocated. Is it interesting?Who will kill the deer, and who will laugh at the end, remains to be seen!

While the two were talking, a line of extremely pale text gradually appeared on the white paper—

This paper actually has a problem!

Shen Tang said: "Look at the ridge and the peak?"
