Chu Yao said sincerely: "Please punish me, my lord!"
Where had Gu Chi seen such a scene? Even though he was mentally prepared, he was hit head-on. He covered his ears uncomfortably, trying to block out the annoying voices in his heart. However, the way of the scholar held him back, and the effect was even more useless than covering one's ears and stealing the bell.
"What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Sheng was relatively calm among everyone present - he did not "let the wolf in" like Kang Shi and "add fuel to the fire" for his lord, nor did he "act on his own initiative" like Chu Yao and make his lord owe a lot of debts. He was just a friend of Xun Zhen.
Well, I can still sit still.
I even feel like watching the fun.
To be honest, isn't the undercurrent in this play more exciting than the singing, dancing and vocals? He couldn't help but applaud.
Out of the corner of my eye I noticed that Gu Chi looked abnormal.
The color was whiter than a corpse that had been left there for three days.
Out of the love they had shared during this period, Jiang Sheng took the initiative to express his concern. But Gu Chi couldn't hear anything at this time. His head was buzzing, as if someone was beating gongs and drums next to his ears, and he couldn't hear any movement from the outside world.
"Looking at the tide?"
Seeing this, Jiang Sheng gave a worried push.
The next moment, the voices that were as loud as the destruction of the world suddenly stopped, and it was quiet for a moment. After a while, other people's voices came. Gu Chi was still not used to the initial encounter, so he subconsciously looked up and happened to see the master's small movement of looking away.
The other party looked vaguely guilty and worried.
Gu Chi immediately understood what was going on, and guessed that the lord had taken the initiative to isolate himself from his inner voice or to empty his mind. He pulled the corners of his mouth, rubbed his ears that were a little uncomfortable, and whispered, "Nothing, it's just that the lord's inner voice was a little loud just now."
Jiang Sheng had a subtle expression.
A bit of sympathy arose.
To be able to make Gu Chi, who has been living under noisy voices for many years, say "the voices in my heart are a bit loud", then that is not just ordinary loud!
It was also obvious from the side how much of a blow this incident had dealt to the lord. He felt sympathetic: "I have to stay away from the lord recently."
Whoever falls into her hands at this time will have to endure the baptism of the storm. At the same time, Shen Tang secretly took a few deep breaths to replace the turbid air in his chest with fresh air. Then he drank a glass of goat milk in one breath to calm himself down.
It's no wonder that she was so emotional. The power of Chu Yao's words was like a big Ivan falling from the sky and hitting her head! If she hadn't managed her expression well, she would have gotten out of control and stood up with a distorted expression.
These scholars of letters can cheat her in any way they want.
For example, Yuan Liang wanted to kill his lord when they disagreed with him, Wang Chao made his lord's secrets exposed, Ji Shou made her have bad luck every now and then, and Xian Deng gave her a blue-lack BUFF all year round... Even if someone comes along in the future to take advantage of her luck in love, or even goes so far as to take advantage of her beautiful face... she can actually accept it!
But, but—
Why
Why did you go after her wallet
Even Kang Jishou didn't go that far (′._.｀)
Today, Shen Tang felt even more wronged than Dou E—the Shiwu only lost 40,000 elite soldiers, but she, Shen Tang, lost 5,000 taels of golden gold! A scholar could even deceive her feelings, but! Just! Can’t take her money!!!
How could the pain of love be greater than falling back into poverty overnight
Although he felt distressed, he was still rational and would never express his true emotions. If he did so, he would not only offend Xun Hanzhang, but also disappoint his subordinates.
Once it gets out, the reputation will be damaged and the people will lose their support.
She calmed down in a flash, and even though she was crying inside, she still put on a cheerful smile on the surface.
"What is Wuhui doing? You should take the overall situation into consideration. What's wrong with him? Why should he be punished? He should be rewarded and set an example!" Shen Tang stood up and helped Chu Yao up. After comforting him, he turned to Xun Zhen.
"We are so lucky to have Han Zhang's help and severely weaken the Ten Crows' vitality. They will lose their ability to invade the south in a few years. The people of Longwu County can rest and recuperate without fear of being robbed... Not to mention five thousand taels, any amount of silver is worth it. If there is a next time, follow this example!"
Xun Zhen admired and said, "Mr. Shen is righteous."
Shen Tang said, "Sir, you are so kind."
Xun Zhen raised his head and looked at Shen Tang. His eyes looked more energetic and determined under the candlelight. He said, "I have been traveling back and forth for more than ten years, but I still can't find a suitable master. Today, when I met Mr. Shen and saw your heroic appearance, I felt that I was compatible with him..."
Shen Tang: “???”
Shen Tang: “!!!”
"I am willing to serve Mr. Shen."
Chu Jie's eyes sparkled, and he clapped his knees loudly: "Great! Congratulations to Mr. Shen for finding another good plan. It is my great honor to work with Han Zhang! Such a happy event should be made public!"
Shen Tang's reaction was not slow either.
but-
She now had the urge to twist off Chu Jie's head and kick it like a ball! Why doesn't this guy learn from his ignorance and grow his brain! She cursed inwardly, but in action she helped Xun Zhen up affectionately, with a smile on her face that was about to overflow, and waved her little hand.
"drink!"
She needed alcohol to numb herself.
"Today is a great day for us, I will not go home until I am drunk!"
Goat milk didn't taste right anymore, so Shen Tang secretly considered his behavior after getting drunk, gritted his teeth and asked someone to replace it with wine.
She needed to get drunk to mourn the lost money.
Chu Yao and others tried to stop him, but Shen Tang refused with a smile. Xun Zhen didn't understand why, so she just secretly noted the small detail that Shen Tang was not good at drinking. But she soon realized that she had thought too much, this Mr. Shen could drink very, very, very well...
The only thing that was out of place was Shen Jun... No, after the new lord drank, his temperament became visibly more stable.
It's the same face, but it lacks some of the boyishness.
After that, one jar after another.
He boasted that he could drink a lot, but he was still drunk and felt dizzy. Other warriors who came forward to persuade him to drink felt their legs become weak from drinking.
Today was a happy occasion, and no one used martial or literary energy to spoil the fun. They actually drank until the second half of the night. Xun Zhen lay on the table and murmured, "I can't drink anymore." Chu Yao and others were in a similar situation. They were drunk, but not to the point of being unconscious.
If there is any disturbance in the outside world, the remaining rationality will mobilize the Danfu Wenxin to dissolve the alcohol in the body...
At the end of the drinking, only a few people were left standing.
Yu Zi helped her uncle back to the tent to rest.
Lin Feng also helped the drunk Chu Yao up.
The others were handed over to their respective guards.
Gu Chi, who was forced to abstain from alcohol and milk, escaped.
But in order to not seem so out of place, he used his acting skills and pretended to be drunk, but was exposed by his master who poked him on the shoulder.
"stand up!"
Gu Chi: “…”
Shen Tang said: "Accompany me for a walk."
Gu Chi turned over quickly, straightened his messy sleeves, and quickly followed: "My lord, I'll be right there."
He was really worried about Shen Tang running around in this state - it would be ridiculous if the Ten Crows failed to break through Yonggu Pass and were destroyed by their drunken lord.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tang's drinking habits were surprisingly good.
Neither going crazy nor crying.
There was no weird nursery rhyme like "blowing up a school while carrying schoolbags" like that. The two of them climbed up the city wall of Yonggu Pass one after the other.
The lord was gazing at the new, vibrant border barrier in a daze, and Gu Chi did not dare to disturb him.
"Go a little further."
"good."
There is a literary fluctuation in the air.
Following the noise, I saw a jar of wine in the lord's hand. Could it be that he wanted to change places to continue drinking
It was quiet along the way, getting more and more remote.
Until a desolate open space.
Shen Tang sat on the ground.
