"Fuck—what's Zheng Qiao's dog called?"
Before Gu Chi even got close to the main hall of the government office, she heard her master's roaring voice. The implicit anger in the voice was like a volcanic eruption and surging magma, leaving no doubt that if she was given a knife at this moment, she would fight Zheng Qiao to the death with the knife.
"That dog, what was his ancestor's dog called?"
Gu Chi raised his hand to stop Jiang Sheng who was traveling with him.
It attracted suspicious and puzzled looks.
He whispered, "My lord is very angry now."
Whoever gets close will be sprayed.
He Yin Fu Gu and his subordinates had no intention of hiding their own ways of deceiving others as scholars.
Naturally, Jiang Sheng gradually understood his ways as a scholar, and was amazed at his lord's broad-mindedness - he didn't even mind this!
The master didn't mind, and he felt uncomfortable but couldn't say it out loud. As they got along more, he gradually got used to it. Now he had to admit that Gu Chi's literary skills were indeed useful at times, such as warning of "fires".
"No matter how angry you are, you should discuss and come to an end." Jiang Sheng had never seen Shen Tang get angry, so he could only speculate based on past experience. He helplessly whispered, "Can I wait here to wait for the Lord to calm down?"
Before Gu Chi could open his mouth, a voice came from the main hall.
"Come in, you two. What are you doing squatting at the door?"
The two looked at each other and went ahead.
"My lord." Gu Chi pretended nothing happened.
Jiang Sheng saluted with his hands crossed: "My Lord."
The furnishings in the main hall of the government office were the same as before, and everything was fine, except for the broken table that silently accused Shen Tang of his previous "violent" treatment. The two of them moved their eyes away without leaving a trace. They knelt upright in their respective seats, waiting for Shen Tang to speak.
At the top, Shen Tang’s eyes flashed with ferocity.
"You said - if I kill the messenger -" His hands clenched on his knees, obviously he had real killing intention, but they also understood that Shen Tang would think so but would not do it, because it was not the right time yet.
Gu Chi said: "The time is not yet ripe."
Jiang Sheng also said, "My lord, you may as well take your time."
Shen Tang took a deep breath to suppress the boiling heat in her chest. She didn't even feel the pain when her nails left deep crescent marks on her palms, and the veins on the back of her hands bulged. She endured it again and again, closed her red eyes, and unwillingly suppressed all her resentment.
Gu Chi said: "My Lord..."
He could understand Shen Tang's mood at the moment.
In today's Heyin County, is there any place that has not been made prosperous by the hard work of everyone
My master has been very diligent and hardworking, and has put in countless efforts for the land of Heyin and the people on it. Now he is just transferring them to a different place, and that place is still in a bad state... This is really too much.
Yes.
Level adjustment.
The royal envoy conveyed the order to transfer Shen Tang, the governor of Heyin County, to Longwu County, and also to be responsible for sending the princess to Shiwu safely. Where is Longwu? It is in the border, to be precise, in the border county bordering Shiwu.
To say this place is good is indeed true.
In peacetime, they could trade with the Ten Crows, which was a great way to make a lot of money. But now it was a chaotic time, and the Ten Crows loved to cross the mountain walls and run to Longwu County to burn, kill and plunder. The body of the previous Longwu County Magistrate was gutted, his body was separated, and his head and body were hung at the city gate to dry in the sun. This incident shocked the court and the public, and when it reached Zheng Qiao's ears, he only made a symbolic statement of accountability, and had no intention of breaking up with the Ten Crows. He just sent a new leader to Longwu County.
This unlucky task fell on Shen Tang.
Shen Tang: "…&%￥*…"
Gu Chi was forced to update his curse words. If cursing really worked, Zheng Qiao's ancestors were in the eighteen levels of hell, so they probably lived a very exciting life, cooking, frying, and stir-frying everything.
Emmm—his ancestors are worth it too.
Shen Tang was furious.
The officials who received the news were also furious. The officials looked at Shen Tang with tears in their eyes, which made Shen Tang very upset. She said viciously: "Everyone, do what you need to do. I haven't left yet. Have you finished the government affairs today? Why are you crying? If you really want to cry, you can cry later!"
The officials were scolded by her and hurried to trot off to work. They could not bear Shen Jun's anger. Shen Tang wanted to kill the messenger with a knife, but was stopped by reason.
There was a man who actually picked up a sword and was about to kill someone.
"An Yan!"
"Yan Xingning!"
"Get out here!"
Kang Shi rushed into the place where the envoy was staying, sword in hand.
The guards on both sides did not dare to stop him, and he walked into the empty place as if he was in an empty place. The owner was sitting there drinking tea.
Kang Shi was even more furious. This was exactly the way of Yan An, a scholar, a figment of the imagination.
The other looked up at his furious friend.
He smiled and said, "You are really here."
The last time I delivered Ren Shu, I didn’t meet Kang Shi and missed him.
Later I found out that Kang Shi had chosen Shen Tang.
The other party's way of a scholar who always loses in gambling means that Kang Shi is serious about choosing a master. This Shen Tang is indeed extraordinary. Zixu secretly observed for a long time.
He was leisurely and carefree, but Kang Shi was furious.
"What do you want?"
Shen Tangping was transferred to Longwu County for unknown reasons.
If Yan Xingning hadn't pushed this matter, he would never believe it - if Yan Xingning hadn't been there, the messenger wouldn't have been fake. This was the first time Kang Shi wanted to kill his friend, but he finally resisted the urge.
No reason—
Because he couldn't beat Yan Xingning.
There is a huge gap between any scholar who has perfected the Way of the Scholar and has a complete Palace of Literature and a scholar who is still working on the Palace of Literature and trying to figure out how to perfect it. He is now acting impulsively, and the mess will fall on his lord.
Zixu said: "Do what is just."
Kang Shi was so angry that he almost spit blood on Zixu's face. This guy called this a "just thing"
He said, "Do you know what will happen to the common people if He Yin leaves the lord? They have finally managed to have enough food and clothing for a few days. Yan Xingning - do you have any heart?"
Zixu said, "You should ask yourself this question."
Kang Shi's face turned pale.
Zixu relaxed his expression and said calmly, "You know me well. I will never do anything that I shouldn't do, but no one can stop me from doing something that should be done! Including you!"
Kang Shi saw murderous intent in his eyes.
He gripped the hilt tightly, took a deep breath and said, "Assisting Zheng Qiao is a perverse act. I know you care about the old friendship, but you can't gamble so many lives for the sake of the friendship between brothers in your youth. Zheng Qiao, he is really not a person worth sacrificing! Why should you bury your talents on such a person? Yan Xingning, when did you become so stubborn? You ignore the innocent people in the world for your own selfish desires? Are you still the Yan Xingning that Kang Jishou knew when he was young? Are you still the same? "
Zixu sneered, "What do you think?"
Kang Shi's heart trembled, and he pondered for a long time before dropping his sword and sitting opposite Zixu: "I hope you are still you."
Zixu said: "Then I will still be myself."
Kang Shi: “…”
He fell into a longer silence.
Kang Shi and Yan An had been friends for a long time, even before Zheng Qiao. In Kang Shi's opinion, Yan An's family background, talent, knowledge, and character were not many in the world, at least in the northwest continent, who were better than him. He also looked forward to the moment when this person would truly shine, but the current development was completely opposite to what he had imagined. What went wrong
Zixu: "Do you still believe in An?"
Kang Shi: "If it was just Kang Jishou, I would believe it."
No one knew better than him how strong Yan An's faith was.
Zixu said: "Then let's go to Longwu County."
Kang Shi got angry again: "You—"
Zixu said calmly, "There are some things I know very well, and I hope you know them better too. Kang Jishou, do you need me to make it clearer? Who has the missing national seal of Xin State?"
Kang Shi: “…!!!”
Zixu continued, "Once Longwu County is breached, the number of casualties will definitely be much greater than the civilians in Heyin. Things have their priorities, and I think you will think carefully about what is more important. Letting Shen Tang guard Longwu County is already the biggest concession I have made. In addition, let me remind you of one more thing - do you really think Zheng Qiao didn't notice it?"
Kang Shi secretly clenched his hands in his sleeves, his face remained indifferent, without any emotional flaws, but Zixu didn't care about this. If Kang Shi's acting skills were poor and he was easily tricked, he wouldn't be alive now.
He said: "Besides, is it really wise for Shen Youli to stay in Heyin? If she just wants to live in peace in a corner, this is indeed a good place to retire. To be honest, the fact that Shangnan, Tianhai, and Yiru can get along so harmoniously shows their ability. The four families attacking and defending each other can indeed bring some peace in troubled times, but - everything has its pros and cons."
Shen Tang has not yet developed a decent force.
Is it different from a wild beast without claws
It is difficult to develop under the constraints of the three companies.
Kang Shi laughed angrily: "Do you think this move will benefit my lord? My lord has his own plans. He is not the same as Zheng Qiao. He is a benevolent ruler who loves the people, not a tyrant like Zheng Qiao. I admire Zheng Qiao very much. He has been so willful for so many years, and his head is still firmly on his neck... How do you know that this is not a strategy of my lord to keep a low profile?"
Zixu asked in return: "What does this have to do with me?"
Kang Shi turned around to look for his sword.
How can it be unrelated
A good game was ruined!
This is not something that can be relieved even if you spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Longwu County has to face the forces of the Ten Crows, and Zheng Qiao has repeatedly invited wolves into the house and indulged the Ten Crows... If the lord goes there, isn't it a death wish? With what Zheng Qiao has done in recent years, how long can the border barrier hold back the Ten Crows' army? Ten months, or half a year, or three months? Yan Xingning, you tell me!"
This time, Kang Shi placed the sword across Zixu's neck.
Zixu raised his eyes slightly and looked at him indifferently, not caring at all about the bloodstain left by the cut.
"Do your job well. Kang Jishou, since this is the wise leader you have chosen, you should go there."
He emphasized the pronunciation of the word "wise ruler" and said calmly, "Longwu County cannot be lost. Once it is lost, the Ten Crow Cavalry will surely massacre tens of millions of civilians, and the consequences will be..."
"The one who should suffer the consequences is Zheng Qiao!"
His master is so innocent!
More than two years of hard work went to waste.
At this time, Zixu turned his gaze to the door.
Kang Shi also looked over and saw Shen Tang standing outside the door. She looked neither happy nor angry. She calmly walked into the house and bowed, "Don't blame me, envoy. I only offended you because I was in a hurry. Ji Shou, why don't you put away your sword and leave?"
Kang Shi had no choice but to sheath his sword.
Shen Tang walked forward and knelt upright.
It was exactly the position where Kang Shi was just now.
Kang Shi had no choice but to sit behind Shen Tang.
"We have to obey the king's order, but the autumn harvest is not long away, so please be tolerant and wait until the harvest is over before setting off. The forces along the way are in chaos, so we must make full preparations, otherwise we will have to leave with regrets before we even take up our post. I think this is not what the envoy wants to see."
Time is running out, and Shen Tang has too many aftermath issues to deal with. She can't leave a pile of unresolved mess for those who come later, and she also can't bear to see He Yin County being ruined.
Zixu was slightly surprised.
It seemed that he didn't expect Shen Tang to be so calm.
"Of course, Mr. Shen can take up the position within the time limit."
Shen Tang said, "Also, Heyin County is a place where we have poured countless efforts. Can I recommend a successor? If we replace him with someone we don't know well, he may cause conflicts with the neighboring counties and cause chaos. I think the royal court doesn't want to see that."
"Don't worry about that." Zixu nodded, and was quite easy to talk to. "What good candidates does Mr. Shen have?"
Shen Tang said, "Xu Jie from the Xu family of Tianhai is a good one. He often comes to Heyin and knows a lot about how things work in Heyin. He is also one of the Tianhai families, so his background is also suitable."
Zixu naturally knew Xu Jie.
Nodded: "This person is not bad."
Recommending Xu Jie is equivalent to giving He Yin to Wu Xian. It seems that the rumor of "Tang Di's deep love" is true. Wu Xian is already powerful, and now he has He Yin... Zixu did not think about it further, waiting for Shen Tang to continue to make conditions.
However, Shen Tang only had these conditions, nothing else, and did not ask the royal court for troops or military pay or food. She just asked Zixu: "Does Lord Yan think that Zheng Qiao is a wise leader?"
Zixu was almost amused by this cold joke. Even a three-year-old child knew whether Zheng Qiao was a wise leader or not.
But he didn't answer.
Shen Tang knew his answer, and smiled faintly: "Yes, if Yan Jun's answer is 'yes', I don't think he would come to me. I should do my job, so I guard Longwu County. In Yan Jun's view, am I acting as the king?"
There was finally a crack in Zixu's expression.
He said: "A wise ruler should love all the people in the world."
Shen Tang got his answer.
He bowed and prepared to carry Kang Shi back.
She only has a few subordinates.
She feels sad if anyone dies.
Kang Jishou looked gentle and polite, but he was even more reckless than her.
As he reached the door, he heard Zixu's blessing from behind him: "I wish you good luck in martial arts!"
Shen Tang didn't even turn his head.
"No problem!"
Only after the two of them walked away did Zixu's straight back slowly hunch down, his brows filled with fatigue and weakness. He propped up his forehead with his hands, his head aching. In the empty space, he could only hear a sigh: "I hate that we met so late..."
I didn’t expect that the person who understands Yan An the most…
It turned out to be Mr. Shen, whom I had only met twice.
Really...
ridiculous!
At the same time, Shen Tang finally rescued Kang Shi.
"My Lord, are you really leaving?"
He easily gave up the family property he had built up over two years.
Shen Tang said, "Let's go! We have no choice. Yan Xingning knew the whereabouts of the national seal but didn't tell Zheng Qiao. It can be seen that these two brothers are not on the same side from the beginning to the end. We can gain a foothold in Heyin, so why can't we do the same in Longwu County?"
Not only that, she also wants to beat the ten black dog heads to pieces!
The streets are deserted and the sun is setting.
The remaining light shone in her eyes.
The man looked back and said, "Ha Yin, you will come back sooner or later."
