"Are you two generals here to visit me today or to seek revenge? There's no need to rip up my shabby stall, right?" Chen Tang joked with a smile.
Chao Lian's fair face turned red with humiliation.
He had tried his best to stop his brother, but he was stronger than him and was determined to see Chen Jun. He rushed forward like a bull and was almost dragged away. Chao Lian could only clasp his fists and apologize, and slapped his brother on the back of the head in annoyance: "You bastard, why don't you apologize to Chen Jun?"
Shao Chong pouted and said, "Twelve Brother, you hurt me."
Chao Lian didn't fall for his trick of acting cute.
Pulling his ear: "You have thick skin and flesh, and you also feel pain?"
Shao Chong begged for mercy again and again, clasping his fists towards Chen Tang: "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, is that okay? I beg Brother Twelve to be gentle."
Chen Tang didn't bother with the brothers and gave Gu Chi a look - no matter how many people Shao Chong injured or what he destroyed, he would put it all in the account and let Gu Ren pay for it. Gu Chi understood and quietly added fuel to the fire in his heart, preparing to take more of Gu Ren's meat.
"Mr. Chen, do you still remember me?" Shao Chong quickly approached Chen Tang, relying on his courageous figure to secretly push Gu Chi aside, with a little expectation in his eyes, he introduced himself, "My name is Shao Chong, Shao of Shaoyang, Chong of angry hair."
Chen Tang looked at Chao Lian with a little surprise.
If I remember correctly, Shao Chong was mentally ill. Now I see that although he still looks a bit childish, he still has the vigor and vitality of a young man. His eyes are clear and bright, and he doesn't seem to be mentally retarded.
Chao Lian explained with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Chen for telling Thirteen the real cause of his illness, we brothers have tried every possible way to find famous doctors and try various methods to treat the symptoms in the past few years. Finally, Thirteen suppressed the things in his body. Perhaps because of this, Thirteen's mind has slowly returned to normal..."
Although Thirteen was a good person before, he was ignorant at that time. Once he left the protection of his brothers and fell into the hands of the bad guys, he would become a killing knife in that person's hand and would be thoroughly exploited until the last bit of value was squeezed out.
Today's Thirteen is at least much more reassuring.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tang congratulated him.
Shao Chong was dissatisfied that he didn't get a response and pouted.
But how could Shen Tang miss his expression
"I remember you. Your name is Jingping."
Shao Chong's eyes lit up and he nodded rapidly.
"Yes, yes. I remember the candy and the pig you gave me."
The corner of Chao Lian's mouth twitched slightly.
Some people don't want to admit that this greedy person is his brother.
Ever since he was coaxed by Chen Tang with candy, Shao Chong has been obsessed with the candy of that day. He is already addicted to candy and has become even more unscrupulous. If it weren't for the good qualities of Wu Dan and his elder brother Gu Ren, his teeth would have rotted away long ago.
Chen Tang was slightly surprised.
She thought that the brothers were sent by Gu Ren to test her, but she didn't expect that they were after food: "Candy is available, but the pigs require money."
Chao Lian: “…”
When he heard this, he thought he was hallucinating. It was just a pig, but Chen Jun, as the leader of a faction, asked for money? Chen Tang knew what he was thinking at a glance and sighed, "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run a household."
After saying that, he smiled and said, "I'm not asking you for it either."
Isn’t there still Gu Ren, the victim
Chao Lian: “…”
Although Longwu County already had a lucrative refined salt business and large-scale mulberry and silkworm farming, Chen Tang was nostalgic and never forgot her pig farming career when she was still a humble person. Therefore, she opened several pig farms.
Every pig is raised scientifically.
She slaughtered the first batch of piglets herself.
Of these, 50% of the high-quality pigs flow into the market, 30% are supplied to the army as rewards, and the remaining 20% are supplied to government canteens and the monthly salaries of government officials. Of course, 20 pigs are also set aside every year as pig-riding prizes for sports events.
In this battle, Shen Tang pulled out hundreds of pigs.
Kill a few pigs every now and then so that the soldiers can have a taste of fresh broth instead of just eating dry food all day.
Don’t Gu Ren’s two brothers deserve a pig
The young man is promising and full of success.
This is Shen Tang’s current impression of Shao Chong.
If he could eat in a more polite manner instead of looking like a starving ghost, Shen Tang would have given him a higher evaluation.
Shao Chong put down the rice bucket and wiped his mouth.
The eucalyptus leaves are all cleanly gnawed pork bones.
After eating and drinking, it’s time to get down to business.
What's the matter
Naturally, he invited Chen Tang to fight.
Shen Tang refused and poured a basin of cold water on him.
Shao Chong: "Why? Is Mr. Shen afraid of fighting?"
Chao Lian shouted, "Thirteen, don't be rude!"
Chen Tang waved his hand: "It's okay. I actually want to know how much the young general has improved his strength. I don't want to fight not because I'm afraid of fighting. First, it's not advisable to do strenuous exercise after a meal. Second, eating to save strength is to fight the enemy, not our own people. After this battle is over, I will compete with the young general, how about it?"
Shao Chong heard this and agreed with it: "Of course."
At this time, there was a message outside the tent.
Someone came again, this time it was Gu Ren’s sixth brother.
He entered and saw his two brothers eating eucalyptus in a mess. The air was still filled with the aroma of food. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "No wonder I couldn't find you two today..."
Chen Tang said, "Old friends reminiscing about the past."
He then asked the other party if he was looking for someone.
Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head and said no.
He was not here to look for his troublesome brother, but to test Chen Tang's position on behalf of his lord Gu Ren.
The Dragon Slaying Bureau lost Qiu Cheng and gained the more powerful Chen Tang. At first glance, it increased the overall strength, but if Chen Tang did not work hard, he would be a drag: "In recent years, wars have been frequent, and there have been starving people everywhere, and even cannibalism has occurred. We fought against rebellion and eliminated violence for the people. Our original intention was just to bring peace to the people of the world. I wonder what Mr. Chen thinks?"
"What's there to think about? If not for real, then for fake? I'm here just to add fuel to the fire of killing Zheng Qiao. Bringing 30,000 troops out, is it just a spring outing? I know what Gu Ziyi is worried about, let him rest assured." Chen Tang said, paused, explained all the plans he and Wu Xian had made, and tried to win over Gu Ren for cooperation.
The more the other person listened, the brighter his eyes became.
"This is a brilliant plan!"
Unknown to Chen Tang, Gu Ren had also been having a hard time recently.
The atmosphere in the coalition was lax and lax. No matter how much the leader Huang Lie encouraged them, those lazy people with ulterior motives continued to do as they pleased, but they could not be too harsh on them for the sake of face. Gu Ren and his brothers had a blood feud with Zheng Qiao, and seeing that they were getting further and further away from revenge, they could no longer suppress their temper.
Brother Gu Ren works as a firefighter putting out fires everywhere.
Now Chen Tang has come and provided a practical solution, which also allows them to see the dawn of unity. Gu Ren's sixth brother thanked him again and again. Not long after he returned, Gu Ren sent someone to the Tianhai camp, and several figures took advantage of the night to lobby several friendly forces. There is no need to describe the persuasion in detail.
On the third day, envoy Huang Lie came to invite.
Chen Tang knew that he had to go to a meeting again.
After all, it's not the makeshift team of the past. This time, she brought two civil servants and two military servants. Gu Chi is the eavesdropper that must be brought to the meeting, and Luan Xin knows everyone in the Dragon Slaying Bureau and is also a good secretary assistant. As for the brave warriors, it's up to her.
Whoever has nothing to do can follow.
Add a hundred-man guard to maintain the appearance.
When Chen Tang arrived, half of the main account staff had already arrived.
This was also the first time she saw Huang Lie in person.
Unlike what one might imagine, Huang Lie does not look like a tyrant. On the contrary, his facial features reveal a simple temperament, and his clothes are also low-key and simple. If the occasion is not right, and he is thrown into the field or anywhere else, at first glance he looks like an ordinary, honest and decent commoner. Who would have thought that he played Gu and had 10,000 heavy shield warriors who could be called bulldozers on the battlefield.
Even Shen Tang couldn't see the murderous aura in him.
Tsk—
We should have pulled Xiandeng over here.
Xiandeng and Huang Lie are old acquaintances.
Chen Tang sat down in a relatively conspicuous position. Just as his buttocks touched the mat and were not yet warm, he heard the leader Huang Lie speak, pointing directly at Chen Tang: "Is this the governor of Longwu County, Chen?"
She said, "It is me."
Huang Lie said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is so young."
Chen Tang said seriously: "After all, she is only seventeen."
How to grow old at this age
Huang Lie didn't know what she meant by this. He chatted with her for a few dry words and then turned around to talk to other people.
Gu Chi: “…”
Of course it’s because you, my lord, have killed the conversation.
It didn't take too long before almost everyone was there.
Because the Dragon Slaying Bureau was established nearly two years ago, the leader Huang Lie's position is stable, and the alliance meeting to compete for the leader is omitted, and it is directly fast-forwarded to the deployment of food and troops. Huang Lie learned from the pain and made a post-war summary of the last battle last year and self-examined...
Chen Tang was observing the expressions of the coalition forces at this time.
Tsk tsk, there are indeed quite a lot of slackers.
It seems that he is daydreaming during meetings, which really happens everywhere.
When Huang Lie arranged the coalition's vanguard, the silent, boring and sleepy meeting suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market. Everyone was talking, and everyone was worried that they would become cannon fodder. Until someone aimed their guns at Chen Tang and his party.
Chen Tang: “…???”
This is blatant workplace bullying!
She just arrived and you want her to be cannon fodder
"I'm unfamiliar with this person. May I know your name?" Judging from where he was sitting, he probably had a lot of soldiers and a high status.
"My surname is Tao, my given name is Yan, and my courtesy name is Shenyu." The name is quite elegant, and judging from his attire and temperament, he looks more like a Confucian general.
Chen Tang didn't notice it, but Luan Xin found that when Gu Chi heard that person's name, there were turbulent waves in his eyes!
Looking again, Gu Chi had regained his composure.
Luan Xin re-examines Tao Shenyu.
Luan Xin knew something about this person, but not much.
It was only heard that this person was born into a royal family of a small country, and was destroyed by the Xin Kingdom not many years after its founding. A large number of nobles fled, hid in various places, lobbied and wooed people everywhere, and planned the so-called restoration of the country. Tao Shenyu was said to be of royal blood.
But it was ridiculous to Luan Xin.
It’s just not clear what the relationship between Tao Shenyu and Gu Chi is.
It seems that it is not a good relationship.
Luan Xin withdrew his gaze, looking calm and composed as if he was just watching a show.
"Oh, I've heard of you for a long time."
"Mr. Shen thinks Tao's previous proposal was wrong?"
"Shen has only been here for a few days, and I am not afraid of being laughed at by everyone. I don't even know where the coalition's gate is facing, and I know nothing about the terrain of Xingyang Road. Are you sure you want to entrust such an important vanguard position to me?"
Tao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: “Mr. Chen is too careless.”
Chen Tang: "You said that, as if I pay attention, I can know the map of Xingyang Road which is far away from Longwu."
Maps are a secret in everyone's home.
“Didn’t Mr. Shen gain anything from the battle with Qiu Wenyan?”
Chen Tang spoke very straightforwardly: "Of course there is a gain, a mess of Sibao County. I am so short of manpower here that my subordinates have to deal with things half-heartedly. Why, you conquered a place but didn't think about governing it, but only wanted to dig out a map of a place that has nothing to do with the territory from the spoils of war?"
"you-"
Tao Yan also didn't expect Chen Tang to have this kind of temper.
Chen Tang tilted his head, looking puzzled: "Did I say something wrong?"
The leaders of the forces who knew Chen Tang all turned their heads away. They still remembered the scene when Chen Tang got drunk and beat up his allies on the spot. Whoever provokes will be in trouble. Wu Xian and Gu Ren even tried to smooth things over, which was actually to help the quarrel.
Every word he said made Tao Yan look unhappy.
Chen Tang was refreshed and keenly noticed that there was another unfriendly gaze looking at him, so he followed the gaze and asked, "May I know your name?"
The dark-faced man said, "Qian Yong, courtesy name Shuhe."
Chen Tang: “…”
Oh, it was Qian Yong who took advantage of her fight with Qiu Wenyan and led his troops to rob her house, but ended up hitting a wall and was beaten up by the furious Kang Shi and his group. Chen Tang didn't know what to say for a moment, so she smiled brightly in response.
Shen·Yin Yang Master·Tang: "I have long heard of your great name."
Qian Yong: “…”
The more people there are in a meeting, the more arguments there will be.
Chen Tang was not the main character, and not many people cared about her. In the end, her troops were assigned a position to support the left army, which was not very good but not the worst. As long as Zheng Qiao's troops did not engage in a pincer attack or stabbing the chrysanthemum from the side, this position could still be used. The most important baggage transportation was entrusted to Huang Lie's most trusted heavy shield warrior.
No one objected to this point.
In terms of strength, their elite troops are no match for the heavy shield warriors, so it is safest to entrust the food and fodder to them.
After making arrangements, it was another long and boring combat meeting. Chen Tang wanted to listen carefully, but Huang Lie's voice was too hypnotic, so he nodded his head and half-opened his eyes.
I don’t know how long it was before I finally heard the heavenly sound of the meeting ending.
"It's finally over..." The meeting was too boring and everyone was distracted. Zheng Qiao took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and hit everyone accurately.
Chen Tang prepared to lead his men out.
Go back and lie down and have a good sleep.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Tao Yan looked at him from time to time. He wondered in his heart, could it be the friend of the perverted old rookie, the perverted old rookie number two? Hearing Chen Tang's thoughts, Gu Chi, who had just breathed the air outside the tent, burst out laughing.
Chen Tang stretched to wake himself up: "Isn't it?"
Gu Chi: "He probably came here for Chi."
Chen Tang was surprised: "You?"
Youhou, Gu Chi also has an old enemy
"It's not like Qi Yuanliang is the only one who has enemies all over the world."
"Oh, what's his grudge against you?"
What's the point of having many enemies
Shen Tang rolled up his sleeves.
She acted as if if Gu Chi dared to say anything, she would kill him.
