"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. When we see injustice, we should help others. This is what we should do. Thank you for being polite, knight."
Shen Tang said this with great pride. If you ignore the pancake in her hand, she really has the aura of a wandering knight.
Even if Qishan was a mean person, he was too lazy to complain about the flaws in Mr. Shen’s words at this moment—Mr. Shen did “save a life”, but how many lives can be killed by a sword
The drunk himself doesn't remember.
As for "seeing injustice on the road", it is even more interesting. It is obvious that the young man was drunk and rushed all the way to the other person to "draw his sword to help".
Qishan feels that there are many complaints, but the "thief" does not think so.
Seeing Shen Tang speak so frankly and naturally, he relaxed his tense nerves a little, his brows relaxed, and his shoulders relaxed.
He clasped his fists and promised: "I am grateful for your kindness. If you need my help in the future, I will do my best to help you!"
Shen Tang smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
Then he distributed the baked cakes to others.
She didn't know if it was because she ate too little for dinner or because she exercised too much after getting drunk, but she was so hungry now, and felt a kind of emptiness after being too indulgent, which was indescribable. As soon as she finished sharing, she bit into the pancake, ignoring that it was still hot, leaving a circle of neat crescent-shaped teeth marks.
"Thank you, Brother Shen." Zhai Le changed his posture of sitting on the ground with his knees hugged and politely took the pancake handed to him by Shen Tang. The pancake was baked to a golden brown and crispy texture, with a slightly bitter taste and a hint of sweetness. He hugged the pancake and sighed, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was some good wine to go with this scene?"
Fine wine
When he heard the word "wine", Qishan's sensitive nerves were touched.
He endured the slight pain in his temple and said, "My friend, I can't stand the word 'wine' right now."
Whenever I think of wine, I think of the scene where Young Master Shen was drunk and wielding a sword, and I was chasing him. This is definitely a rare nightmare!
Older people’s legs and feet cannot withstand such treatment.
When Zhai Le saw his smile, he shrank his neck in fear.
Shen Tang was also sweating secretly because of guilt.
In order to break the almost frozen tense atmosphere, Shen Tang took the initiative to change the subject and turned to ask the "thief" who was sitting and regulating his breathing.
"I still don't know the knight's name?"
As soon as this question was asked, the "thief"'s expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal after a blink. If you didn't look closely, you would think it was an illusion.
"My surname is Gongshu, my given name is Wu, and my courtesy name is Banbu."
Gong Shuwu
Gong Shu half a step
What a strange name.
Not to mention that Gongshu's surname is extremely rare, his name and courtesy name alone are very strange. In ancient times, six feet was half a step, and half a step was called Wu.
The parents who named the child could not be said to be careless, but the direction of their care was a little eccentric, but Shen Tang did not ask anything. After all, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. She also knew that there were people with the surname "Wang" and the name "Zhe Rongyao", or the surname "Gu" and the name "De Maoning".
Zhai Le chewed his biscuit and asked, "Then do you know why they wanted to kill you? They even sent an eighth-class official?"
Although martial courage training is simpler than literary mind training and the threshold is lower, it does not mean that the eighth-level Gongcheng is just cabbage in the field. In fact, this is the ceiling of 70% of martial artists' lifetime. Going further requires a certain amount of talent, hard work day after day, and luck.
Gong Shuwu shook his head: "I don't know."
Zhai Le was puzzled: "I don't know?"
Gong Shuwu smiled bitterly and didn't want to say more.
Qi Shan suddenly sneered in his heart - he didn't know why he was being hunted. Only a three-year-old child would believe such a perfunctory excuse.
The so-called Gong Shuwu is simply a pseudonym.
According to the records of meteorites, there was a man named Taishu Duan who was defeated in battle and fled to Gongdi, and was also called "Gong Shuduan".
As the family was passed down from generation to generation, it gradually evolved into the Duan family, the Gongshu family, the Gong family, and then the Gong family known to the public.
It becomes clear when you think about it this way.
Gongshu clan and Gong clan.
Military and literary.
Half a step is called martial arts, and the righteousness and reason of etiquette are called culture.
Therefore, the Gong Shuwu in front of him was actually the ninth-rank fifth-rank official of the Gong family who had fled abroad—Gong Wen and Gong Yili!
Qi Shan's face was calm, and he didn't seem to notice Gong Shuwu's abnormality. He pretended that he didn't know Gong Shuwu's identity, and just said with concern: "I'm afraid the thief is still determined to commit thieves, and he will come back sooner or later. Has Gong Shu thought of a countermeasure?"
Gong Shuwu shook his head.
There was an unhealthy blush on his haggard face.
Even though the Ninth Grade Fifth Doctor was in good health, he was covered in wounds. After being caught, he had been exhausted from running for his life and had no time to recuperate. Some wounds scabbed and healed on their own, leaving only a long red mark, while some healed and then broke again, or were injured on top of each other. Many wounds were stained with filth and turned red and festered. Qi Shan's problem was what he was most worried about at the moment, but he also had no way to deal with it.
After a while, he sighed softly: "If there is really no other way, we can only flee to a neighboring country for refuge, maybe we can get a glimmer of hope."
Qi Shan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, imitating Gong Shuwu's "open-heartedness".
"To be honest, I just returned from studying in another country not long ago. It was not peaceful there either. There were harsh policies and heavy taxes, frequent wars, and thousands of miles of barren land. In comparison, Geng Country is better."
The war between Geng and Xin was over.
Other countries are either fighting or preparing to fight.
After hearing this, Gong Shuduan fell silent, his expression dead silent, and he felt a sense of sadness that the world was so vast but there was no place for him to stand.
Qishan could understand his feelings a little bit.
Except for Zhai Le who was born in the southeast, the rest were citizens of Xin State, but Xin State had already been destroyed and renamed "Chongtai". Although the establishment and destruction of countries in this era and the iteration of household registration were very common, and people of insight did not stick to the so-called "nationality", there was still a sense of loneliness of "my hometown was destroyed and I was homeless".
Like a dog that has lost its home.
It is an apt description of Gong Shuwu who was exhausted at that time.
Zhai Le was concentrating on eating the cake.
Shen Tang was different. She ate the biscuit while paying attention to Qi Shan and the other guy - her intuition told her that this guy was up to something bad!
What a dog this LYB is!
When fighting, he would protect himself and just do nothing at the sidelines. He would not care as long as his teammates were not dead.
How could such a bad guy take the initiative to care about the mental health of others, comfort the weak hearts, and open his heart to others
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Shen Tang's eyes rolled, and a strange tacit understanding came into being.
"Have you ever heard of the phrase 'darkness under the lamp'?"
"It's dark under the lamp? Of course I've heard of it."
"You should have heard that 'the most dangerous place is the safest place'. If the people chasing you know that you have fled to Xiaocheng, they will naturally guess that you have fled to another country. They may even set an ambush on the road you must pass and wait for you to fall into the trap. It is better to do nothing."
"Nothing?"
Shen Tang: "Hide your identity and stay in Xiaocheng."
This assist made Qi Shan feel satisfied. He continued, "Recently, there is a rumor that 'Ziwei will come from the northwest to unify the world'. There are many unfamiliar faces from outsiders in Sibao County. Hiding among them, the risk of being discovered is actually smaller."
Gong Shuwu was deeply shaken.
Dark under the lamp...
Stay in the most dangerous Xiaocheng...
After an inner struggle, he finally couldn't resist the temptation.
He nodded and said, "Yeah."
