Is the royal family of Xin State surnamed Shen
Chen Tang resisted the urge to spit out blood and forced a smile: "Although you may not believe it, you really think too much."
Qi Shan said: "Am I overthinking?"
Chen Tang nodded vigorously: "Yes, you think too much."
Her name "Chen" has nothing to do with the royal family of Xin State!
It’s really really just a coincidence!
Furthermore—
"Yuanliang, don't you think it's absurd? If I am really who you guessed, how could I be in this situation now..."
If Chen Tang was not the person involved, she would have really believed it - logically speaking, Qi Shan's guess was more likely, but there was a big premise for the guess to be valid, that is, the body must belong to a young man, and Chen Tang was sure that there was no strange "tumor" growing on his body.
She! Is! A! Real! Girl! Of! Goods! And! Price! Is! Real!
“Not to mention anything else, the officers escorting the exiled prisoners will not let me go easily, and the Gong family members who are traveling with me will not ignore me…” Therefore, this body cannot be the Gong Cheng he mentioned, and it is even more impossible to be the illegitimate son of the King of Xin left in the Gong family.
Even if it was true, could Shen Tang admit it
How can a fallen princess/prince survive
Qishan was in deep thought after hearing this.
It was just that he seemed calm on the surface, and Shen Tang had a hard time trying to figure out what he was really thinking - whether he was convinced by her, or was he stubbornly holding on to his own ideas.
"I understand."
Chen Tang: “…”
Brother, what do you understand
At this moment, she had the urge to open a hole in Qishan's crown.
"Go, fill all the water bags with tea. We are in a hurry."
"And my..."
"Here are also..."
The shouts of soldiers could be heard outside the teahouse.
Because the escort route was remote and the weather was too hot, the water bag had already been emptied. They laughed and threw the water bag at the boss's face. The boss endured it again and again, and with his face swollen and red from being slapped, he showed an ugly smile, bent down, picked up the water bag, put it in his arms, and said humbly: "Yes, yes, I'll go right away-"
The worried look still fell on his wife.
A soldier saw him dithering and kicked him on the buttocks, urging him: "What are you dithering for? Hurry up!"
The boss staggered and nearly fell to the ground. The boss's wife, who was held by the soldiers, was so angry that she trembled all over but did not dare to struggle.
The couple's expressions of being angry but not daring to speak out or resist pleased the soldiers, and their arrogant laughter accompanied by the proprietress's terrified sobs reached every tea drinker's ears. Everyone was angry but dared not speak out, even Chen Tang silently chanted "If you are patient for a while, you will have a bright future."
I stopped reciting it after the third time.
"Fuck, fuck the vast sea and sky!"
Qi Shan, who clearly heard Chen Tang swearing, said: "..."
I didn't expect that Young Master Shen, who looked elegant and noble, had a strong bandit spirit. Only a street rogue or a rough man would say such dirty words. Seeing Shen Tang stand up, he asked, "Young Master Shen, are you going to fight for justice?"
Chen Tang: "I'm not stupid."
Standing up for others also requires strategy. It is unrealistic to attack directly, but it does not mean that you can't do it in a shady way. Chen Tang rolled up his sleeves, adjusted his innocent expression, and went to help his boss.
The boss was flattered and quickly refused.
"Young Master, you can't..."
Chen Tang: "What's wrong with that? How long will it take to fill nearly a hundred water bags? I see that you and your wife are the only ones in this teahouse, and I'm worried that you'll be too busy and get bullied. I'd like to send them away as soon as you're done, as a token of my appreciation..."
The boss' eyes were filled with tears after hearing this.
Choking with sobs, he said, "Thank you so much..."
The couple was being bullied, and only they knew the feeling of helplessness and despair. They also knew that the tea drinkers had no obligation to help. Who doesn't know how arrogant the Geng soldiers are? They burned, killed, looted, and killed for fun. They did all kinds of evil. Everyone was afraid of death.
During this time, some soldiers came to check, and their eyes swept over Chen Tang who was huddled in the corner working hard. Because he was young, worked quickly, and had a thin back, he was mistaken for a teahouse waiter. After watching for a while, he felt there was nothing wrong and left.
The two of them worked together for a quarter of an hour, until sweat broke out on their foreheads, when they finally filled all the water bags and completed the task.
Qi Shan was curious: "What did you do?"
Chen Tang took a sip of tea, and even his eyebrows showed the words "happy mood": "Yuan Liang will know later."
Qi Shan raised his eyebrows and guessed: "Poisoning?"
"That's a good guess."
"Where did you get the poison?"
As he finished speaking, Qi Shan suddenly thought of something.
Then he asked, "Word spirit?"
Chen Tang smiled and replied, “Yes.”
Qi Shan took a deep breath and asked, "Which sentence?"
In other words, which words have been "ruined" or "subverted"
Chen Tang was mysterious, and chanted slowly: "The mouth of a green bamboo snake, the needle on the tail of a wasp."
Qi Shan frowned: "What is the meaning of this sentence?"
Just like the previous sentence "Zhou Yuan is lush and fragrant, and the violets are like honey", no one has ever used it, or it has been judged to be of no value for research. Just from the literal meaning, the poison should be snake venom and wasp sting venom.
"Well, I was afraid that the poison wouldn't kill me, so I added another medicine. Yuanliang, why don't you guess which medicine it is?"
Qishan has a photographic memory.
The medicine that Chen Tang mentioned must be in the scroll of words he copied. The only thing that can be called medicine is...
He didn't hesitate: "Strychnos nux vomica?"
"You guessed it right."
Too bad there is no reward.
You may not be familiar with strychnine, but you will understand it if you mention the famous "Qianji medicine".
Qishan: “…”
The look he gave Chen Tang became more complicated—
This young master Shen’s “Way of the Princes” is not only related to “farming”, but can also fertilize the soil and create medicinal herbs out of nothing
Shen Tang saw his strange expression and thought he disagreed.
"Yuan Liang disdains this?"
A gentleman is upright and may not tolerate poisonous tactics.
Qi Shan shook his head: "No, it doesn't matter what method is used to murder these people, what matters is the result."
He had traveled through many defeated counties and prefectures before. In these places, there were many women who were forced to get pregnant or contracted serious diseases. Every household had funerals, and broken limbs and body parts were everywhere. Looking at the behavior of those soldiers just now, could they have clean hands
If he dies, he deserves to die.
only-
"You put so much in it, do you really think others can't taste it?" He spit it out as soon as he found that the taste was not right.
Chen Tang smiled and said, “Plain water can, but they filled it with tea, and if it tastes different, people will just think it’s because of the hot weather.”
Qishan: “…”
While the two were chatting, more than a hundred soldiers had already packed up and left. They had taken so much advantage, but they only gave the teahouse owner three copper coins, which were thrown in his face. But the owner had to swallow his anger, put on a smile, and thanked him for the reward.
Seeing that the team had disappeared, Chen Tang stood up and stretched: "Yuan Liang, let's go and watch the exciting show."
Chen Tang pulled out the motorcycle, turned over and rode on the mule.
Qishan still walked.
The two followed slowly, and Chen Tang said suddenly: "Yuan Liang, poisoning and assassinating Geng country soldiers is a serious crime."
"You know it's a sin, but you still do it?"
Chen Tang didn't care at all: "Too many lice is not a big deal! I am a fugitive who is only half a step away from death. Living one more day is a gain. What is there to be afraid of with one more crime? But Yuanliang, you are still following me. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Qi Shan raised his eyelids and said calmly, "I have also said that I am not a kind person."
As for the name, just fill in what is missing.
If it is a prosperous age—
Looking at Mr. Shen who was smiling happily while riding on the white mule, Qi Shan sighed secretly—that was probably the "way of the princes" that was most beneficial to the world.
Unfortunately, I was born at the wrong time.
