"Fortunately, my lord is alert. Otherwise, if this matter was spread by Zhao Feng, with Qin Li's wisdom, he might have guessed some of the truth and would have brought about a fatal disaster." Gu Chi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "If it was just the 'Qi Intake Method', it would be fine."
Although the "Qi Intake Method" is also very eye-catching, this thing has a high threshold after all - one must have a talent as high as that of a raccoon's strength, which can screen out 99% of the candidates - it is completely tasteless and a waste of time to throw away.
Shen Tang sighed, "You must be on guard against others."
After all, Zhao Feng is Wu Xian's man.
In name, he came to repay a favor, but that didn't stop him from keeping an eye on Shen Tang as Wu Xian's spy. Fortunately, he didn't have any secrets that he couldn't hide, so as long as he kept the existence of the national seal hidden, he could rest easy. Zhao Feng and the more than a thousand private troops he brought with him were the key to his taking control of He Yin (free labor), and it would be a big loss if he didn't make good use of them.
Gu Chi reminded: "Don't let your guard down."
Shen Tang laughed: "That's natural."
As for Baisu—
Gu Chi asked Shen Tang what arrangements he planned to make.
Shen Tang looked confused: "How do you arrange it?"
Gu Chi said: "Since Lin Feng, as a woman, can absorb the energy of heaven and earth and refine it into literary energy, then - my lord, have you ever thought that Bai Su can also absorb the energy of heaven and earth, condense the Danfu and form martial courage? Although Bai Su is an ordinary person, her martial arts are not bad. She has been a thief for many years and has only been forced into a desperate situation now. It can be seen that her martial arts talent is not weak. If she can be as powerful as Li Li..."
Shen Tang's disadvantages are obvious, but his advantages are also very obvious.
In this case, why not play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses
If Bai Su could be like Li Li and condense the first wisp of martial energy at such an old age, even if he could not reach the top and cultivate to the seventh-class duke or the eighth-class duke, he could still gallop on the battlefield as a deputy general and make great achievements. He would be a ready-made "horse bone"!
A dead horse can be sold for five hundred gold coins, let alone a living one
but-
It’s still a little too early to say this now.
Shen Tang asked: "Will you adopt more young girls later?"
Loyalty is something that is easier to cultivate when one is young and has not yet established a set of values. Even if Gu Chi did not mention it, Shen Tang and the others were prepared for it. However, Gu Chi still spoke up to correct Shen Tang's "mistake".
He said: "My Lord, what you said is wrong - we should adopt more girls who are talented, have good character and are intelligent!"
These are the resources we have at hand right now.
It's not that Gu Chi is stingy or cold-hearted, but it's still tight to feed the existing population. Shen Tang needs to use up 70% to 80% of his energy every day to avoid starvation. Ten days or half a month is fine, but if it goes on for a long time, it may damage the foundation. Where can we get extra money and food to train ordinary people who are not rewarded enough? It's hard to say in the future, but it's not possible now - if there is no potential, there is no value in training.
Shen Tang did not refute after hearing this, but took the initiative to change the subject and shifted the focus to Bai Su: "I would also like to trouble Wang Chao to test Bai Su's opinion and see if there is any problem with this person. If there is no problem and he is willing to be loyal to me, I can use him without any worries."
As long as it is not deliberately controlled, a person's inner voice will not lie. In simple terms, those who can pass the Gu Chi test may not be used, but those who cannot pass must not be used. Even if they are reluctantly used, they are using their talents instead of their people.
Can-
As an ordinary person, she was able to collect so much information. Who could say that Bai Su had no talent? If she could really be brave and courageous, she would be like a tiger with wings. Even if she could not confront the enemy head-on, she could still play a role by leading the cavalry soldiers to investigate the enemy.
Gu Chi bowed and accepted the order.
Shen Tang rubbed his eyebrows.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, she murmured in her heart. She didn't know how Wu Xian and Gu Ren were doing. If she could win the qualification to take over Ha Yin with "legitimate reasons", she would be able to occupy the "moral high ground".
It doesn't feel good to be "morally kidnapped", but, hey, it feels great to "morally kidnap" others. Especially when Ha Yin and his gang of demons are dancing, they can't be dealt with by conventional means. They need to fight violence with violence and evil with evil. This is the best strategy.
Shen Tang was still thinking about this in his dream.
"Ah Qiu—"
Wu Xian sneezed loudly. He was processing documents under the oil lamp and took out a handkerchief to blew his nose, muttering to himself that he might have caught a cold. Why did he keep sneezing tonight? Or was there someone slandering him behind his back
At this time, Qin Li asked for a meeting outside the tent.
He stood up hurriedly: "Qin Qing, come in quickly."
Qin Li entered the tent, and Wu Xian asked anxiously, "What's the situation?"
Seeing Qin Li's solemn expression, Wu Xian's heart skipped a beat. He stared at Qin Li's lips nervously, fearing that he would hear bad news from him. Lord Shen left early and led his troops to Heyin. The allied forces also cleaned up the rebels of King Zhu in Sibao County. Although he did not get the national seal, the credit for killing the rebels was enough to make him half full.
At this time, King Zheng Qiao came with an order.
Xuan Lianhe Army went to the palace to receive the title.
This news made everyone excited, but also made them start to worry - they were worried that Zheng Qiao would go back on his word and take advantage of everyone going to receive the title to capture them. To be honest, with Zheng Qiao's shabby reputation, this guess was not impossible.
Alliance leader Wu Xian was the most worried among them.
Because Zheng Qiao's palace was moved to Qianzhou, which borders Lingzhou, and occupied Qushan County, which is not far from Sibao County, if he disobeyed the order at this time, he would be courting death. Since the day he received the order, the eyelids of the leader Wu Xian have been twitching.
When they arrived at Qushan County where the temporary palace was located, the entire army was intercepted, and only a few hundred elite soldiers were taken to the outside of the palace to receive rewards.
Alliance leader Wu Xian wanted to find an excuse to avoid it.
only-
In the end, Qin Li persuaded him to give up the idea.
If they escaped at this time, it would be tantamount to telling Zheng Qiao that they were guilty, which was no different from seeking death. If they took the initiative to meet Zheng Qiao, they would be open and honest. Even if Zheng Qiao had a bad temper, he would not use it against them. At most, he would be slacking off on the reward, but there would be no need to worry about their lives.
At times like this, it depends on who can remain stable.
Wu Xian smiled bitterly in his heart and began to envy Shen Tang.
Shen Tang ran away with his men early.
Although He Yin's place is also poor, with bad water and rampant evil people, it is easier to deal with than Zheng Qiao, and he does not have as many troops as Zheng Qiao.
After arriving outside the palace, Qin Li went out to visit his friends.
He said he was visiting a friend, but in fact he was just trying to get the information - to see Zheng Qiao's recent mood and his attitude towards the Allied Forces. If Zheng Qiao really wanted to kill him, he would have to escape overnight no matter what. If he didn't, he could take advantage of the situation to win over some people.
If someone in the court speaks well of Wu Xian, it will be beneficial to his future development. Because the circle of literati is not large, especially for a big man like Qin Li who is at the top of the pyramid, he can be said to have friends all over the world, so he really found out some things.
The news we brought back wasn't too bad.
Qin Li's solemn expression relaxed.
He said, "Don't worry, my lord. The news is not bad."
With these words, Wu Xian felt completely relieved.
"Qin Qing, sit down and tell me in detail."
Qin Li rushed back after receiving the news. He didn't even have time to drink a sip of tea. He took a sip of tea to moisten his dry and smoking throat and said, "A scholar with a literary mind appeared beside Zheng Qiao. His surname is Yan, his given name is An, and his courtesy name is Xingning."
Wu Xian was startled when he heard the familiar name.
"Yan An? Isn't he going to be an official?"
Speaking of Yan Xingning, Wu Xian felt full of grievances.
He heard that a great sage was living in seclusion somewhere, so he prepared a generous gift and went to invite them to come out of seclusion. These people were Yan An and Yan Xingning. No matter how Wu Xian tried to get close to him, how he flattered him, how he treated him with courtesy, and how many benefits he offered, Yan An remained hard-hearted and unmoved. He was annoyed and sent him away before the mourning period was over.
Wu Xian was depressed for a long time because of this.
What you can never get is the white moonlight.
He said, "I am lucky if I get it, and I am doomed if I lose it," and "I will not force it if it is not meant to be," but he was actually grumbling in his heart. Why is Wu Xian so bad? He has status, reputation, and manpower, and he has a high salary, and he never gets anything for free!
I don’t even dare to think that someone is generating electricity for me or for love.
Why does Yan An look down on him!!!
When I heard the news about Yan An again, I found out that this guy actually served Zheng Qiao
Why
Why
He was shocked and didn't understand at all
Qin Li didn't know that his master had such a dispute with Yan An, and said: "According to the news, Yan An is Zheng Qiao's fellow apprentice, and the two have known each other since childhood. Since Yan An came out of seclusion, although Zheng Qiao's behavior is still violent, it has been much more restrained than before. This time-"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Xian's voice suddenly rose.
Interrupting, "You said—they are brothers???"
Good guy, really good guy.
He finally understood why Yan An always had a weird expression when he went to ask him to come out of retirement, as if he wanted to put him in a sack. Was it because he was always on the verge of Yan An's explosion
