Su Shiyilu was holding back a lot of anger.
At this moment, he saw a familiar face coming in crying, which made him frown and feel very unhappy.
He suppressed his anger and asked, "What happened?"
“… You must make the decision for me!”
If Su Shiyilu's face hadn't been so horrifying, he would have wanted to go up and hug his thighs and cry.
With tears and snot, they accused Shen Tang and others of being rude and unreasonable, and of killing ten of their personal soldiers without any explanation!
Among these ten people, there are one or two from the same tribe as Su Shiyilu. They are not relatives, but they are related if you trace their ancestors back. Shen Tang didn't give them any face and killed several people. Isn't this a slap in the face
As expected, Su Shiyilu's expression grew gloomier as he listened. The air around him could not withstand his overflowing power and became thin and cramped. The candlelight in the tent flickered, and the crying Ten Crow Messengers gradually stopped sobbing, wiped their tears, and stood still.
"Kill them all?" Su Shiyilu's words contained murderous intent.
"Kill them all!"
"Are you dead? You won't stop it?"
The scolded Shiwu envoy felt wronged and was dissatisfied in his heart - he and Su Shiyilu were both officials of the Shiwu court, but the latter did not care about his face at all and scolded him like a grandson, but he did not dare to show it at all.
He could only say aggrievedly: "I did stop them, but that Shen was too arrogant and killed them. He was so arrogant because he despised us as barbarians! This guy didn't take the royal court seriously at all."
He knew that Su Shiyilu had a weak spot.
This man claims to be a Confucian general who is both civil and military, who can fight on horseback and govern the country on foot. He hates other people the most, especially those countries in the Central Plains of China, who slander and despise him as a "barbarian."
If they stepped on this landmine, not to mention Shen Tang, even the princes under King Shiwu would be beaten up by him.
He deliberately blurred the key points of the matter, but Su Shiyilu was not someone who could be used as a gun with just a few words.
He asked, "Why did Mr. Shen kill people?"
"This is because..."
"explain!"
Facing Su Shiyilu's anger, he could only tell the truth. Of course, it was definitely not the soldiers who were wrong, they were just relaxing their duties legally and reasonably. The one thousand women were originally presented to Shiwu, and they had the right to dispose of them.
Su Shiyilu frowned when he heard this.
"because of this?"
A man named Shen killed people just because of a few tribute girls
"Just because of this..."
Su Shiyilu sent someone to inquire about it, and when he learned what Shen Tang had relayed, the anger on his face gradually subsided.
The atmosphere in the tent fell into a kind of stagnation with silence, and the ten crow messengers who came to complain were secretly waiting anxiously.
Whether it is good or bad, give me a definite answer!
Unexpectedly, the expected outburst did not occur.
Su Shiyilu said calmly, "Let's put this matter aside for now and control the people below. If they are really greedy for women, let them find someone to deal with them when we reach the next tribe. Don't touch these women for now, or they will give you something to hold against you!"
"Why? We are not afraid of them!"
He couldn't understand Su Shiyilu's cowardly behavior. Ten of his personal soldiers were killed for no reason. Instead of asking Shen to pay for his blood debt with blood, he could at least demand twenty lives from them as interest.
In the end, this old guy wants to endure it
Su Shiyilu was too lazy to explain the interests involved to him, and felt uncomfortable with his arrogance.
This kind of impetuous atmosphere was not limited to this person, but was shared by the entire Shiwu royal court. They all thought that if Geng's tyrant Zheng Qiao showed a few cowardly and flattering attitudes, Shiwu would be invincible and would be able to break through Yonggu Pass and march south.
But Su Shiyilu doesn't think so.
Zheng Qiao did try to curry favor with Shiwu, but he never suffered any loss. Instead, all the elite troops sent by Shiwu were treated as consumables and used up by him. The last time the marriage was arranged, Shiwu sent out 100,000 elite troops with the purpose of placing them in Zheng Qiao's territory, looking for an opportunity to take advantage of Zheng Qiao's weakness and attack the city and territories at lightning speed, so as to gain a foothold in the northwest for Shiwu.
If successful, it can also reduce the cost of military force to break through Yonggu Pass, and only internal and external forces are needed.
As a result, Zheng Qiao turned the tables on him.
If one plan fails, try another.
Su Shiyilu was sure that Zheng Qiao would not be able to stay alive for long, but he did not dare to underestimate this man. He was one of the rulers who had the most control over the national seal that he had ever seen. He could not guarantee that this guy would be able to come back and bite them hard...
Until the situation becomes clear, we cannot offend the dead.
Anyway, these tribute girls will become Shiwu’s people once they enter Shiwu’s territory, so Mr. Shen has no choice but to let go no matter how reluctant he is.
Otherwise, the day he arrives at the royal city will be the day he dies! Even if Shiwu doesn't kill him, he can still be killed by Zheng Qiao!
"I'm not afraid, but now is not the time."
Su Shiyilu frowned and sent the man away.
Poor Ten Crow Messenger was frightened by Shen Tang and felt humiliated by Su Shiyilu.
Shen Tang slept well that night.
"No one came to question me last night?"
Are you just going to endure the killing of ten of your own soldiers
Gu Chi said: "Not only did they not raise an army to accuse him, Su Shiyilu even sent someone to apologize, huh..."
It surprised him.
Jiang Sheng ate pancakes with meat soup and said unhappily, "In this situation, he is either cowardly or has other intentions. This man can climb to such a high position, so it is obviously impossible to be the former. The more he can endure, the more he should not be underestimated. He is harboring evil intentions."
"No matter how bad you are, you can't hide it from me."
Jiang Sheng did not comment on this. Gu Chi's way of writing was not good for everyone. If you rely too much on him, you will not know how to fall. After a simple breakfast, the marriage team set out again. Before noon, the familiar female historian came again.
Shen Tang is already proficient.
Question: "But the princess summoned you?"
What does that princess want to do
Shen Tang rode her motorcycle towards the center of the marriage team. The Ten Crow soldiers she met along the way all gave her murderous looks - it was obvious that Su Shiyilu had endured it, but the Ten Crow soldiers did not, and were still hostile.
It was just that Shen Tang's decisive style of killing people made them dare not act rashly. Shen Tang ignored all this and went straight to the super luxurious carriage of Her Highness Wang Ji. It was called a carriage, but in fact it was a mobile 60-70 square meter finely decorated RV.
The interior decoration is complete.
There is not only a bedroom, but also a "living room".
The car is covered with thick felt mats, so it rides smoothly and people inside the car don't even feel any major bumps.
This is the third time Shen Tang sees Wang Ji.
The latter's gaze became particularly different.
"It is said that scholars with literary talent can set up a barrier of words to prevent the outside world from eavesdropping?" Wang Ji waved away the female historians.
"Indeed."
Shen Tang had no idea what Wang Ji was up to, but he still cast the spell. Wang Ji then said, "I have heard about what happened last night. I am sorry for offending you before, so please don't blame me, Mr. Shen." As she spoke, she supported her slightly bulging belly with one hand and bowed.
Shen Tang quickly dodged to the side, refusing to accept it.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Wang Ji said, "I have also spoken openly to Lord Shen. I have no ulterior motives and no ill intentions. I just want to find a way out. I lied before and said that the baby in my belly is Zheng Qiao's son. Only then did I save my life, but lies will be exposed one day. Not to mention that this child is fake, even if it is real, with Zheng Qiao's cold temper, it will not be a handle to threaten him in the future. Once Shiwu comes to his senses, how can I survive?"
