Gong Xilai seemed to think he was hallucinating.
"Perform... the unique skill of washing your hair while standing upside down?"
What kind of unique skill is this
It just so happened that Shen Tang had finished washing at this time. He used his right hand to quickly squeeze out the excess water from his long hair, and then used his left hand to support himself and jump, landing steadily, and then used his martial energy to dry his long hair thoroughly. It must be said that this thing is much more useful than any hair dryer.
"Sister Alai, don't you think this is a great skill?"
These words were not said by Gong Xichou, but by Shen Tang.
Gong Xichou: "Alai is much older than you, and who is your sister? I told you Alai is my adopted sister."
Shen Tang said with a smile: "Who are we following?"
"Your sister is my sister."
Gong Xichou: “…”
Being called "Alai sister" by a boy younger than him, and being frivolous, Gongxi saw that Shen Tang's eyes were clear and there was no intention of being obscene or offensive, so he was not annoyed. The most important thing is that the boy in front of him, who looked more delicate and pretty than himself, was not an ordinary person, but Shen Jun who defeated his brother. Gongxi looked at Shen Tang's figure and felt it was inexplicably absurd.
The other person was much taller than when they first met, but considering the status of a county governor or the leader of a faction, he was too young. With such emotion in his heart, he said: "He can stand on one hand and live freely, which is really amazing."
"See, our sister is still sweet and good at talking."
Gong Xichou: "Mama is no less capable than me."
Shen Tang held a hairband in her mouth and used her fingers to comb her long hair to the back of her head. After combing it smoothly, she used the hairband to fix it and tied it up high. The conditions for marching and fighting were extremely limited. Even if she was the lord, she couldn't wash her hair whenever she wanted. Fortunately, the air was good in this era, and the diet structure was less oily and more vegetarian, so dandruff didn't grow much and it was not easy to produce oil, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
She looked at Xun Zhen, who understood her intention and took the initiative to state his purpose: "Qiu Wenyan has been captured and is awaiting the Lord's decision."
"Qiu Wenyan, the old rookie, was captured? This is good news, but he is a powerful leader after all, so we can't treat him badly, or he will accuse us of mistreating prisoners. By the way, what about Qiu Wenyan's other supporters? How are they doing?"
Xun Zhen took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it over.
It contained the general information of the captives. Shen Tang read it at a glance and asked casually, "Is the scholar Wenxin who used his scholar skills to spy on our army's whereabouts in Beishang County that day also here? Was he captured, or was he killed in the chaos?"
Xun Zhen shook his head and said, "No news yet."
The woman tied up by Xun Ding lowered her head, her eyes flashing with strong hatred. She shrank again when she heard the conversation between the two. Obviously, this person was Miao Shu who was caught by accident. On the city wall, she also helped Qiu Cheng defend the city and kill the enemy, but the situation was hopeless and she could not do anything to save the situation. She had to make the worst plan - a group of confidants chose to protect Qiu Cheng to break through and escape.
After reading this, do you think Miao Shu was abandoned
No, it was Miao Shu who abandoned Qiu Cheng.
Because she knew that Qiu Cheng's goal was too big. As the leader of a force, he was a walking military merit that the soldiers under Shen Tang envied.
If she escaped with them, she would certainly enjoy protection, but at the same time, she would expose herself to danger, and she was a woman. In this chaotic world where supernatural powers were everywhere, women were more harmless and less dangerous than the elderly and children. Because it was a truth known to all that women could not practice, Miao Shu only needed to take off the monogram around her waist, and she would be an ordinary rich girl, and it would be very easy for her to escape the search and cleanup.
Miao Shu planned this and she did it.
He found his lover in the city and planned to hide for a few days.
Yes, she has a lover.
Although she was Qiu Cheng's wife, she did not live in the inner house in the backyard. Qiu Cheng knew that she had resentment in her heart, so he turned a blind eye to her behavior of raising beautiful young men. This was probably one of the rare privileges she got as a scholar.
Unexpectedly, he was beaten up at his door before he could hide for long.
You can tell at first glance that he is Shen Tang's lackey!
However, she lacked cultivation and experience, and still needed to recite the words to activate them. At this moment, Xun Ding had broken her jaw, so she could not speak clearly and could not escape. She did not expect that she would meet her enemy so soon, and that the enemy mentioned her.
She also watched the scene where Shen Tang washed his hair upside down.
I felt extremely contemptuous.
To think that the Miao family business that had been run by generations was stolen by such a petty thief, God must be blind!
Shen Tang rolled up the scroll again.
"Tell your men to be more careful and make sure to catch this man. Back in Beishang County, it was obvious that his literary skills were still immature. If he grows up in a few years, I'm afraid he will be a serious threat that we must guard against if we meet him on the battlefield again."
An enemy who can quietly control the layout and movements of one's own side is indeed a difficult problem. This kind of scholar's way is completely born for the battlefield. If you go to an opponent's nest, you will have to fight again in the future, and the casualties will be more than that.
Xun Zhen accepted the order and said, "Yes."
Shen Tang's gaze finally fell on Xun Ding.
"Yong'an also has something to talk to me about?" Xun Ding's identity was a little awkward in front of Shen Tang. He was not a direct military general, nor was he a prisoner, but he did follow his old father and work for him.
Shen Tang had a good impression of him, and even felt pity for him because Qi Yuanliang had cheated him when he was young and ignorant. In addition, because of their relationship with Xun Zhen, he would not be unkind to him.
Xun Ding seemed to have just come back to his senses from Shen Tang’s strange behavior.
"Mr. Shen, I have captured these two people." As he said this, he stepped aside, revealing a man and a woman who were trembling behind him.
When Gong Xilai heard this, his eyes flashed with confusion.
She remembered that her ex-fiancé had no great ability, and the only little cleverness he had was spent on how to spend his days drinking, eating, drinking, and having fun, and flirting with men and women, and he even jokingly called this "elegance" with a group of like-minded dandies. What was the value of such a fool coming to see Mr. Shen? But she couldn't interrupt and could only watch.
Shen Tang was also curious: "Who are these two?"
Xun Ding pointed at the woman and said, "She is a scholar of literature."
When he went in to catch the man, the blood on his armor made the woman suspect that he was here to catch her. Xun Ding didn't expect to see her here. Before he could say anything, the woman took the initiative to escape with a trick, but Xun Ding saw through the trick. He paused and emphasized: "She is still a woman."
Shen Tang's expression changed from confusion and curiosity to seriousness.
Xun Ding pointed at the man again.
"He has a special relationship with this woman."
What a coincidence, they were caught together.
Shen Tang guessed something, but still asked one more question: "Even if that's the case, it's not a crime, why did you arrest these two?"
A female Wenxin writer and a man who had an unusual relationship with the female Wenxin writer were certainly not guilty.
but-
Xun Ding said: "This woman is under Qiu Wenyan's command and is his concubine. Although she is not valued, she cannot be looked down upon."
This is a fish that slipped through the net.
It’s even more of a walking military achievement!
Capturing them would be considered a military achievement, right
I would be able to endure less contempt from my old father.
Moreover, aren’t female men of letters and literati more precious than national treasures
Shen Tang said seriously: "Really?"
"Every word is true." Seeing that Shen Tang didn't say anything, he thought she didn't believe it, so he explained, "Mr. Shen didn't notice this person's literary temperament because she is first-rate in restraining her literary temperament. I think she has worked hard, and it is difficult for outsiders to detect it without being on guard."
"and… "
Shen Tang: "You say."
"She participated in the Battle of Beishang County."
Shen Tang waved his hand to signal Xun Ding that he didn't need to say anything more.
Gong Xilai noticed that the atmosphere was not right and asked his brother quietly.
"Brother, should we hide away?"
Gong Xichou asked back: "What are you avoiding?"
What are you waiting for if you don’t want to see the excitement already here
He had no sense of being a prisoner.
Shen Tang didn't care about this.
She winked at Xun Ding, who didn't understand her at all. He blinked, expression blank, and stayed where he was. But Gong Xichou couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and quickly connected the woman's jaw.
Miao Shu was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat and her pretty face turned pale, but she still raised her eyes full of hatred and stared at Shen Tang. At this point, she was afraid that she could no longer hide her identity. As expected, Shen Tang asked, "Are you from Longwu County?"
Miao Shu sat on the ground and sneered: "So what?"
She raised her head, as if she was the one looking down at others. She no longer concealed or suppressed herself, and her eyes and brows were free of the usual repressed and dull look.
Shen Tang looked at her and made a judgment in his mind.
Ask her: "Which one?"
Miao Shu clenched her back teeth, her cheek muscles tensed, her eyes fixed on Shen Tang, and she said word by word: "My family name is Miao!"
Shen Tang propped his forehead with his hand and searched through his memories in the garbage dump.
"Oh, I have some impression. I just remember that Longwu Miao was quite rich, but they made money from bad means. As long as the whole family is capable of doing something, they won't do it. You are a female relative who was lucky enough to be pardoned, why do you want to die again?"
There is a bug in the chapter content. Xun Ding has met Miao Shu. Wait a minute, I will change it.
_(:з」∠)_
After the revision, there should be no bugs after reading it through.
PS: This plot was not arranged like this at the beginning. Gong Xilai was not going to capture the ex-fiancé, but Miao Shu. But when I was about to write, I remembered that Gong Xilai was from Xiaocheng and Miao Shu was from Longwu County. It was too far-fetched that they knew each other. Then they arranged the ex-fiancé's male lover, but ignored the fact that Xun Ding, the extra, had met Miao Shu. I was scratching my head...
PPS: Found another bug, Gong Xilai has also seen Tang Mei_(:з」∠)_ but it was Tang Mei in disguise. She knew that Tang Mei was young and small... The paragraph was changed to describe it.
