Circulate the letter.
The same thought came to everyone's mind.
Maybe, probably, possibly, Mr. Shen is really stupid
How can you let others guard your home for you
Aren’t you afraid that your home will be gone when you come back
This thought went round and round in his stomach, and the shrewd scholars, who were as shrewd as old foxes, had already figured out that something was wrong. At this moment, these scholars no longer talked about their positions or factions, and each expressed their different opinions.
Opinion one: Mr. Shen is an open-minded gentleman, rare in the world.
Opinion 2: Mr. Shen is a treacherous but foolish man, so we must be on guard against him.
The first opinion is from the literati from the Tianhai noble family who have a good impression of Shen Tang. Apart from anything else, Shen Tang's ancestral spiritual wine is indeed useful and of great help. In addition, Shen Jun helped Tianhai out of the shadow of the epidemic without holding grudges. They tend to think that Shen Tang is a genuine gentleman. We should not speculate on other people's magnanimity with narrow-minded thinking, which will only put us at a disadvantage.
To put it more clearly, you can't think that everyone else has a bad heart just because you have a bad heart, and you can't specifically imply Qin Li.
Because Qin Li's opinion is the second one.
But not many people share the same idea as him.
Qin Li: ""
Qin Gongsu was truly speechless.
Why do these people believe that there are really gentlemen in the world
If Shen Youli was a famous scholar, Qin Li believed that she was a true gentleman, but she was the head of a small force. She was a ruthless man who transformed He Yin in less than a year. How could she not have a foothold if she didn't have some thundering skills and killed He Yin to make him the one who had the final say
Even though not many people support him, Qin Li still wants to express his opinion: "My lord, this is an open conspiracy!"
Conspiracies are things that are done secretly, and you can still prevent them if you are more careful; but overt plots are things that are done openly and take advantage of the situation, and are difficult to avoid, or even impossible to avoid, and you can only face them head-on. Wu Xian is now in this situation.
Wu Xian looked at his subordinates who held different opinions, but his face remained calm and he did not lean towards either side: "Open conspiracy?"
"My Lord and Mr. Shen are close friends to the outside world."
When Qin Li said those four words, Wu Xian felt a little guilty. Three people make a tiger, which is really harmful. The originally fake thing was passed around and marketed as real. Even he himself was stunned when he heard it and responded vaguely.
"Brother Shen really treats me like an elder brother"
Perhaps Shen Youli thought so too.
Qin Li suddenly straightened his face and said, "My lord, you are wrong! My lord, why don't you think about it? Why did Mr. Shen go to the battle this time? He went to drive out the bandits and rescue the innocent people who suffered from the bandits. He is a man of great benevolence and righteousness."
"Taking advantage of the situation" in various senses.
Wu Xian was trying to do two things at once and almost laughed at himself.
Qin Liyi's stern and powerful voice came to his ears again, making Wu Xian look solemn.
"Only when you have a legitimate reason to fight can you 'raise the flag and divide the command, sweeping the country like the wind and lightning'. Mr. Shen has all the 'people'. Everyone knows his noble character, and they admire and trust the lord's 'brother'. In this case, if the lord helps, once something unexpected happens in Heyin County - such as refugees and bandits gathering to attack, will Heyin County be lost?"
This question hits the nail on the head and hits the nail on the head.
The answer is lice on a bald head, it's obvious.
In this situation, we can only defend ourselves.
We must defend to the death even if we have to pay for food, men, and military supplies!
And they will defend it at all costs.
Otherwise, people will only think that Wu Xian is a fake gentleman and a villain who deliberately does not work hard. Shen Jun trusts you so much, but you deliberately lost Shen Jun's nest. Tell me, is this what you secretly hope for
Even if Wu Xianzhen tried her best, there would still be doubts.
Qin Li thought that this letter was an extremely vicious and irresistible conspiracy, which was to put someone on the rack and roast him. Qin Li couldn't help but think of the Wen Xin Yan Ling that Qi Shan had used in the "evil plot".
If I am in danger, I will also be in danger to others. Therefore, if I am in danger, others will be in danger. If others do not want to be in danger, they need to lend a helping hand to relieve me from my predicament.
If you think about it carefully, isn't it the same kind of immoral behavior
Qin Li was secretly grinding his back teeth.
Haha, it turns out that “evil plots” can never be turned into good deeds.
Qi Shan, who was far away in Ha Yin, was hit hard in the knee by an arrow.
Wu Xian pondered for a while.
I have to admit that Qin Li's conspiracy theory makes perfect sense. According to this logic, this is indeed an open conspiracy.
but-
But Shen Youli's personal image is really good.
Wu Xian's heart was beating fast, jumping back and forth between the two voices. At this time, the staff member who disagreed with Qin Li jumped out to speak. He didn't engage in conspiracy theories, so he asked a very simple question: "If Mr. Shen really has such a plan, who would dare to bet their life on it?"
Isn't he afraid that his hard-earned fortune will be seized by others? He is not dissing his master's integrity, but his master actually has no integrity.
Even one's own brothers can be killed, disabled or maimed.
As long as there is no morality, there is no way to be kidnapped by morality. Similarly, as long as Lord Wu Xian is thick-skinned and silently swallows up He Yin, even if Shen Tang brings his troops back, he can only stare blankly, jump up and down in anger, and can do nothing about it.
As for the infamy
No matter how bad the reputation in the world is, can it be worse than Zheng Qiao’s
Zheng Qiao pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger, and served as a filial son and puppet to the Queen Mother of Geng State to gain her full support to ascend the throne. After ascending to the throne, he turned his face and kicked the Queen Mother. With such a bad reputation, he can still eat, drink, sleep well, and enjoy endless pleasures.
How can this happen if my own master turns against me
Even if Shen Jun didn't ask the lord to help defend Heyin to prevent the bandits from attacking, would my lord watch Heyin being captured and endangering Tianhai? Qin Li himself has a lot of thoughts, so he thinks everyone is a bad person.
Since Mr. Shen is so frank, his lord doesn't have to worry about finding an excuse to help. How great is that
Why would these two gentlemen, who are friends, engage in intrigue
Qin Li's face turned pale after being confronted by this fellow's arrogant talk, and flames of anger danced happily in his eyes.
Seeing that the tension between his subordinates was getting more and more serious, Wu Xian had to make a decision that would satisfy both parties - he agreed to send troops to help Shen Tang guard the house and the crystal, but the person in charge of commanding the matter was Qin Li, and he was given full authority to handle it.
Regardless of whether this was an open conspiracy or true honesty, Wu Xian was also cautious in order not to offend either party.
only-
He never expected that Shen Tang's mind and eyes were like a beehive! Because the same request to guard the crystal was sent to a group. Not only him, but Gu Ren and Zhang He also received it. They summoned their subordinates and think tanks to discuss it overnight.
His expression was as if he had been constipated for seven or eight days.
What is going on
Zhang He has medicinal materials business dealings with Shen Tang (making money by cutting leeks), and he also uses Shen Tang's spiritual wine to weaken the tough groups of Yi Ru again and again, either suppressing them or appeasing them, with remarkable results.
The two families had the same interests when facing refugees and bandits. They were in the same boat and it was impossible for them not to send troops. In addition, Zhang He was very careful about his reputation, so he would really help.
There is no need to say more about Gu Ren.
If Shangnan had not been helped generously by others, it would be hard to say what would happen to it in the end, and how could it have recovered? In addition, regarding the matter of his thirteenth brother Shao Chong, both publicly and privately, others had a favor to Shangnan and to him, Gu Ren.
Gu Ren held a "family meeting" with several brothers.
After some discussion, they sent out their twelfth brother Chao Lian, thirteenth brother Shao Chong and sixth brother, who had met Shen Tang a few times.
The first two were good at leading troops in battle and fighting bandits and refugees, while the latter was an excellent doctor and was familiar with military affairs, so it was perfect for him to stay in Heyin County. The three families set out at different times, but arrived almost at the same time.
Valley
One question: "What are you doing here?"
The answer was: "It's Mr. Shen bala bala"
The happiest person was the messenger from Luxia County.
It turned out that Shen Jun did not lie to him.
If he said it would take two days at most, it really would take two days at most.
The messenger was so excited that he almost cried out.
Mr. Shen is a good person to get along with. He really helps when there is something going on!
However, the three heads were not in a good mood.
The three families all had good relations with Shen Tang, but that didn't mean they had good relations with each other, not to mention that they all accepted Shen Tang's request to guard the crystal. This meant that the three families had to cooperate in guarding the city for a period of time.
(‵′)┻━┻
Yarn!!!
Qin Li moved the corners of his mouth and swallowed the curse.
As the representative of Heyin County who received everyone, Gu Chi had a rather playful look in his eyes, and his peripheral vision wandered over Qin Li and Qi Shan - because Qin Li cursed people, and among the ten sentences, four cursed Shangnan, four cursed Yi Ru, and the remaining two cursed "evil plans".
Now Heyin County is truly stable.
I can't throw it away even if I want to.
People firmly believed that this extremely evil conspiracy was Qishan's bad idea. Alas, he had to take the blame for his lord again.
Gu Chi was secretly daydreaming.
How come no one can see through the lord's true nature
As the host, Shen Tang had to host a banquet to entertain the reinforcements coming from afar. After a short rest tomorrow, they would rush to Luxia County. It was called "welcoming and welcoming", but in fact it was just discussing the future combat strategy while eating.
Speaking of "welcoming guests", we have to mention the food in the government office. As a native of the Hua clan who is born with the two talents of "foodie" and "farming", Shen Tang uses his avatar to work 996 while not forgetting to improve the quality of the government office canteen.
After all, eating happily can really improve work efficiency!
Unfortunately, the ingredients are limited and there are not many varieties.
Even so, it was enough to surprise everyone a little.
The brave warriors led by Shao Chong and Chao Lian were very considerate and swept away the food on the table in no time, adding several bowls of corn.
Qin Li finished his meal slowly and put down his chopsticks. According to the letter Zhao Feng sent back, Heyin County had a small bumper harvest this year, and a lot of land taxes were collected from various places. Therefore, he suggested that Shen Tang be responsible for the expenses of military supplies during the period when the soldiers guarded Heyin.
That’s not too much, right
Logically speaking, it is not an exaggeration.
It is indeed somewhat immoral to borrow soldiers from Tianhai to guard the house and ask them to provide their own rations. It's not like everyone owes Shen Youli a life like Zhao Feng and is forced to work for free to repay the favor
but-
Qin Li is too young and doesn’t understand what “vicious involution” means.
I don't even understand how hateful this thing is!
Before Qin Li could hint at something—for example, the Tianhai soldiers could not bring much food and military supplies with them because they were in a hurry, and Shen Tang, as the host, was mainly responsible for the expenses in this regard—the young man named Shao Chong smiled and interrupted: "It's okay, we have brought enough, if there is a shortage, we can share some."
Chao Lian, however, heard the story about a lawsuit.
He and Sixth Brother simultaneously pulled Shaochong's sleeves. Shaochong was confused: "Sixth Brother, Twelfth Brother, why are you two pulling me?"
Shao Chong has a very high liking for Shen Tang.
Although he was born rough and not very smart, he knew that he was tortured less and less by the poisonous insects, which was due to Shen Jun's contribution. His elder brother taught him to be grateful, so he asked his private soldiers to carry enough food over.
Each warhorse carried a large bag of food.
The soldiers sent by Tianhai had no food, but he had food.
What's wrong with everyone sharing a share
Chao Lian didn't even have time to cover his mouth.
The sixth brother was laughing so awkwardly that his mouth was about to overflow.
While winking at Shao Chong, he smiled at Qin Li and said, "Haha, the child is ignorant, ignorant."
Qin Li's mouth twitched.
Because of Shao Chong's interruption, Qin Li couldn't say anything more. The envoys from Yiru looked at the situation and swallowed their thoughts of asking for food and grass. They could only turn back and ask their lord for more support, hoping that they wouldn't stay for too long.
Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss!
Pay money to watch over your opponent!
Who would believe this if I told them
As the host, Shen Tang seemed not to notice the dispute between the three parties, and generously expressed his joy and gratitude, and brought up the past of the alliance between the four treasure counties. Qin Liyan responded perfunctorily, and Shao Chong responded actively.
The envoys from Yiru just watched the show in silence.
Yi Ru did not participate in the battle in Sibao County.
The three families brought a total of 15,000 to 16,000 soldiers this time. Half of the elite troops went to support Luxia County, and the remaining troops, which were relatively weaker, stayed in Heyin County to prevent refugees and bandits from stealing their homes.
When Shen Tang heard this number, he slapped his thigh with joy.
She said: "Gathering more than 10,000 elite troops from our four families, we will definitely be able to defeat the bandits and protect the safety of Luxia County!"
Qin Li: “???”
Gu Ren's sixth brother: "???"
The Yiru envoy: “???”
More than 10,000 elite soldiers
Although the continent was torn apart and hundreds of countries were standing side by side, more than 10,000 soldiers were not shabby, and each of them was elite, so it was no problem for them to fight against refugees and bandits four or five times their number. Even if it was six or seven times, it would make the other side think twice before withdrawing.
but-
The three families brought half of their best troops, which could barely be counted as 7,500. Add to that Shen Tang's troops, which totaled more than 10,000—Qin Li suspected that the "more" might just be a fraction—in other words, Shen Tang only sent 2,500 troops. Using 2,500 to exchange for the three families' 7,500 elite troops to defend the city, or just bite the bullet and have to defend it to the death.
The expressions on the faces of the three families were all colorful.
Gu Chi could hear all kinds of curses.
He silently picked his ears and continued to pretend to be deaf.
So - how could such an extremely evil conspiracy be initiated by Qi Bushan
People's evil plots still have a bottom line (:3)?)
At least, he could scold Qi Bushan's plots and intrigues, but he could only swallow the bitter fruit of his master's conspiracy.
You are taken advantage of for free and have to smile while watching others pull up their pants.
Among the three, Qin Li wanted to vomit blood the most.
Because he doubted how many of the "two thousand five" mentioned by Shen Tang were soldiers under Zhao Feng's command
