For a moment, everyone in the tent was silent.
They saw it clearly and Shen Tang was not joking.
Yu Zhubu: "Does Shen Jun want to take this opportunity to openly go deep into the territory of Shiwu and stir up war? It's not impossible, but the noise will be too loud and will inevitably arouse the vigilance of Shiwu, and even the suspicion of the king Zheng Qiao..."
If it was someone else, it would be fine...
But Shen Tang's words...
This boy has the national seal on him. Once the news leaks out, any party will seize it at all costs!
Shen Tang said: "Provoking civil strife? I don't plan to do such a big thing for the time being. I just want to take this opportunity to find out the news in Shiwu so that it will be easier to plan in the future. With Wang Ji as a cover, the possibility of being suspected is lower."
The Ten Crows boasted that they had completely bewitched Zheng Qiao.
There is no doubt that there is something wrong with the family protection team.
As for inciting civil unrest...
It can't be done in such a short time.
The Shiwu regime has passed its most unstable period, and tribes of all sizes have attached themselves to the Shiwu royal court. It will be difficult for the outside world to stir up trouble again. For now, we can only prepare for future wars as much as possible, and by the way -
Complete the difficult tasks given by Yu Zhubu and others.
Yu Zhubu said: "This is not easy..."
Shen Tang talked and laughed freely, and responded fluently.
"Whether it's easy or not depends on who it is."
proud!
Quite arrogant!
But they have reason to be proud.
Yu Zhubu did not pour cold water on him, but just nodded calmly and said, "In that case, we will wait and see."
More allies are always better than more enemies.
If Shen Tang really has the ability to protect Yonggu Pass and block the Ten Wu Iron Cavalry outside the gate, it will be a blessing for the common people inside the pass.
Although the civil wars among the various lords and powerful people would also cause misery for the people, they at least knew their limits and would not kill everyone. After victory, they would rest and recuperate, allowing the people under their rule to have a chance to breathe. However, the Ten Crows were different. Wherever they passed was like a swarm of locusts, leaving no grass to grow. Between "bad" and "worse", it was natural to choose the lesser of two evils.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhubu felt helpless.
But he was born here, and nothing could be decided by him. All his experiences over the years had taught him a truth—no matter how strong a warrior or a scholar is, they could not withstand the mighty tide of history and were just a drop in the ocean.
All they can do is "do the best they can".
Shen Tang smiled and said, "No problem!"
As the conversation ended, the atmosphere in the tent became more relaxed. The commander asked people to prepare food and invited Shen Tang and his party to have a simple meal, just as an "apology." He wanted to make friends, and although Shen Tang was unhappy, he didn't show it on his face.
In Yonggu Pass, entertaining guests with wine is considered the "highest standard" - even if the wine was provided by Shen Tang - the commander naturally asked the soldiers to pour her wine and fill it up, as if to "forget all grudges over a cup of wine".
Shen Tang looked at the wine and frowned.
Chu Yao: "My Lord is not good at drinking..."
"How can a scholar of literary talent not be good at drinking?"
The commander laughed, especially since he was proficient in both civil and military affairs.
But this brain looks quite clear.
Not like a fool...
Chu Yao: "… My lord is still young, drinking is not good for his growth, so I will drink this glass of wine for you."
The commander's forehead seemed to be filled with question marks, and he asked honestly, "Are you not ashamed to say that?"
Chu Yao used to be more addicted to alcohol than him.
I first came into contact with alcohol earlier than him.
He often instigated him to steal the treasures from the wine cellar, with the commander in charge of the action and Chu Yao in charge of keeping watch. At first, the two were not very experienced in committing crimes, and Chu Yao saw that the situation was not good and ran away, causing him to be blocked in the wine cellar as a thief.
Nine out of ten times the general was beaten up when he was young because he took the blame for Chu Yao or was instigated by Chu Yao. The amount of "Yao" was extremely high! Why didn't they say "young people shouldn't drink"? At his age, he treated his lord like a child
Chu Yao: “…”
He suddenly regretted why the incense stick was not thicker.
Without waiting for Chu Yao to continue speaking, Shen Tang reached out and picked up the wine: "I'm happy today, it's okay to have a couple of drinks."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Chu Yao: “…”
After drinking this big bowl of wine, he knew that his master would have to wait until tomorrow to sober up, and what would happen during this period was completely out of his control. But his former childhood friend laughed heartily, praising his master for his good drinking capacity and continued to fill his glasses.
Shen Tang accepted it all.
Every time she drank a bowl, Chu Yao felt that it took her a few more hours to sober up...
One hour, two hours, three hours...
I'm about to be drunk for the third day.
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Yu Zhubu said, "There is one thing I would like to ask Mr. Shen for help."
Shen Tang nodded: "Please go ahead."
Yu Zhubu: "I am old, and have been wandering for half my life, with no one to care for. My only wish is to have a relative who can comfort me. Today, by chance, I learned that Weiheng is the only one left in my brother's line. My brother and I are close brothers, and his descendants are my descendants. Weiheng is quite talented, and I want to keep him by my side and teach him carefully, so that he can inherit my brother's line and revive the family in the future."
Yu Zi was rescued by Shen Tang, and she was his master. If Yu Zhubu wanted to ask for her back, he had to get Shen Tang's consent. Yu Zhubu also knew that he would be made difficult, so he had already made full psychological preparations when he dared to ask for it.
When the commander heard this, he couldn't help but pay attention and was ready to support Yu Zhubu's request at any time.
Shen Tang did not answer immediately, but just looked at Yu Zi.
"Wei Heng, what do you think?"
Whether to go or stay depends on Yu Zi.
Yu Zi suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention in the tent. She was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought. After a struggle between her conscience and her conscience, she shook her head slowly and firmly.
Yu Zhubu couldn't hide his disappointment: "Why?"
If Yu Zi is willing to come, he will definitely teach her everything he knows.
This is the only grandchild of these brothers.
Yu Zi seemed to have something difficult to say.
She said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just..."
"Just what?"
Yu Zi: "But can I also revive the family?"
"How can this not be possible?"
The one who asked this question was the commander-in-chief.
He said, "Why are young people so lacking in confidence?"
This is something we should learn from Wuhui's lord Shen Jun. The only thing he lacks is to carve "I am the best in the world" on his face.
Yu Zi looked embarrassed.
Seeing the anxious general's impatient temper, Yu Zhubu said frankly, "Don't be afraid, little brother. Just tell me what you are worried about! Your uncle is very capable. If he can't solve it, we can solve it with our combined efforts!"
Yu Zi: “…”
She looked towards her lord.
The latter seemed slightly tipsy, with drunkenness staining his brows. He looked into Yu Zi's eyes and nodded with a barely perceptible smile.
Yu Zi was encouraged and mustered up her courage: "… For now, I can only talk to my uncle."
Everyone was puzzled.
What secret is so rare
They can't listen
Yu Zhubu did not embarrass Yu Zi. The grandfather and grandson went to a corner. He flicked his fingers to set up a warning to eavesdrop on the words, indicating that Yu Zi could speak without worry. Yu Zi whispered: "Uncle... I told you before that mother gave birth to a son and a daughter, right?"
Yu Zhubu nodded.
Naturally remember.
Yu Zi said: "The person mother took away was my brother."
Yu Zhubu: “???”
Yu Zi: "I am the one who survived."
Yu Zhubu: “…”
etc!
Let him sort it out.
The niece only gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son died, so the one who survived was the daughter, that is, Wei Heng in front of us. In other words, Wei Heng, he, no, she is a girl
Yu Zhubu took a step back in shock and disbelief.
Although everyone seemed to be toasting each other, their attention was actually all focused here. However, no one dared to eavesdrop on the conversation between the grandfather and grandson openly. They could only see their movements and secretly guess what they were saying, with their curiosity as strong as if they were constantly being tickled by a cat.
"you-"
Yu Zhubu was completely unable to utter a complete sentence.
I hope to see some "joke" on Yu Zi's face.
But no, not at all.
"Really? You're not lying to Uncle?"
Yu Zi nodded: "Absolutely true."
Yu Zhubu asked again: "Do Chu Wuhui and others know?"
After asking, he realized that he had asked in vain.
How could Chu Wuhui not know
Yu Zi had previously lived in the market, and the few words she learned were from her niece, which was not enough to accumulate enough foundation, let alone open up the Dan Mansion and gather the literary mind. This process was extremely difficult to break through with personal understanding alone without a teacher's hand-in-hand guidance.
Although Yu Zi had talent, she had missed the best opportunity, and her talent was not high enough to be self-taught. In other words, Chu Yao was most likely involved in the whole process of Yu Zi's acquisition of the literary heart. How could she hide her gender
Thinking of this, Yu Zhubu looked at Chu Yao.
Chu Yao raised his glass to him and toasted him from afar.
Shen Jun waved slightly at him.
Yu Zhubu: “…”
He silently swallowed the blood.
