"Gong Su, what is this?"
Zhao Feng looked at the drawing paper in Qin Li's hand with some hesitation.
What was so important that Gong Su went to such great lengths to use the Wen Qi incarnation to solve it? This Wen Qi incarnation was obviously not newly created, most likely before they sent troops to wipe out the remnants! In other words, was Gong Su doing two things at once during the battle
Qin Li didn't feel embarrassed at all about being caught.
He said calmly, "The Lord passed it down."
When they heard that it was Chen Tang who gave the order, Zhao Feng and the others mistakenly thought that this was some kind of confidential matter, and they were tactful enough not to ask any more questions. When they should know, they will know naturally. If they should not know, there will be no answer even if they ask, and it will easily arouse suspicion.
After a simple cleanup, smoke rose from the camp.
When the meal started, Zhao Feng saw Qin Li walking out of the temporary camp with a long wooden box in his arms. He didn't think much about it, and went to eat and saw Qin Li sitting in front of the table, eating slowly and elegantly. He turned his head to look in the direction he came from, and then looked at Qin Li.
A rare look of confusion appeared on the face of the strong man.
He knew that Qin Li was very serious and responsible at work, but Gong Su always paid attention to health preservation and acted very regularly. In layman's terms, he ate when it was time to eat and slept when it was time to sleep. He had three meals a day. For example, at this moment, he did not forget to work while eating...
This was completely beyond the character that he knew Gong Su to be.
Qin Li seemed to have sensed something and raised his eyelids: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Feng shook his head like a rattle, and the thick beard on his face swayed from side to side: "No, no."
He saw nothing.
-----------------
"The lord has been very close to Gong Su these days." They interact so frequently that they act like elders even more than the old men like them. People who don't know would think that they are the lord and servant who have cooperated for many years. Gu Chi didn't care at first, but soon he became restless.
Why
Of course it’s not because of jealousy of Qin Li’s presence.
What shocked him was that her lord and Qin Li were planning such a big thing, but she was able to keep it to herself and not tell anyone else!
If the mountain is not me, then I am the mountain.
Gu Chi decided to try to find out indirectly.
Chen Tang glanced at him and said, "You call this indirect attack?"
Gu Chi's eyelids drooped.
Stretching out the tone: "Well, why doesn't this count?"
Chen Tang covered his face: "Don't learn every voice!"
Her ministers are really a little sick in the brain. Isn't there something wrong with Gu Chi's jealous attitude
Fortunately, Chen Tang is well versed in various hair-smoothing tricks.
In a businesslike tone, he said, "It's easy to fight a war, but it's hard to deal with it afterward. After several years of war, Yanzhou and Qianzhou have become pitifully desolate even if they were prosperous cities, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. However, it is precisely because they are ruins that they are suitable for drastic modifications and reconstruction. Some unreasonable places have been completely changed by taking this opportunity. Gongsu's way of the scholar is very convenient to use."
She added, "I didn't tell you because you're all on the front lines, and you're exhausted already. If I put all these things on you, wouldn't it make me, as your lord, seem too mean? Capitalists are all going to be treated like street lamps..."
She is considerate of her subordinates!
Gu Chi stopped playing around after hearing this.
"My Lord, do you believe Qin Gongsu so easily?"
Chen Tang almost jumped: "Is there something wrong with Gong Su?"
"No, or maybe he hasn't discovered it yet. But Qin Gongsu is from the royal family after all, and some of his ideas may be contrary to the lord and us. He is also stubborn, so it is unexpected that he accepted the status quo so easily."
Chen Tang breathed a sigh of relief: "You, Gong Su mentioned Wangchao to me before, and was concerned about your current physical condition."
Gu Chi gave a warning back.
"My Lord, it's not that Chi has any opinion about Qin Li."
It was rare for Gu Chi not to be playful with Chen Tang.
Chen Tang also took a serious attitude and listened attentively.
Gu Chi's sickly face revealed an unprecedented solemnity and seriousness: "I hope that my lord understands one thing - from the moment Huang Lie was destroyed, you are no longer just a lord of a makeshift team! You are the overlord of the northwest, so the temptation of benefits brought by the forces under your command can make them abandon their prejudices against family background. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a steady stream of noble families and families who will show goodwill to the lord and extend olive branches to him in the future. Among them, there will also be people with amazing abilities and talents, and perhaps they are far better than those of us who have flaws in the way of scholars. At least their way of scholars will not put the lord in danger..."
"They will be loyal to the lord. Some will be loyal purely, but there are also some who are loyal because of the added value. The plot against Shen Youli can bring benefits to them and the family. These people can be used and exploited, but they cannot be trusted."
"It's even more unacceptable to be honest."
"My Lord often says in his heart, 'Sincerity is the ultimate weapon forever', but there should be a premise for this statement! Sincerity is the ultimate weapon only when you treat people who are equally sincere. If you treat insincere people with sincerity, they will only hold you as a handle and laugh at you. Not everyone is worthy of your Lord's sincerity and trust. Qin Gongsu may be the last one."
The greater the force, the more people will be attracted.
There are sincere people among them, but there are more hypocritical people wearing various masks. It is too difficult to distinguish the human heart! Even if Gu Chi has the ability to read minds, he dare not say that he can distinguish every true and false emotion!
After hearing this, Chen Tang was silent for a long time.
After a long while, her almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents, her eyes as clear as before: "Wang Chao, your master's sincerity and trust are not something that everyone can see. Have you ever seen me playing with people's hearts?"
This time it was Gu Chi's turn to be surprised.
Chen Tang said solemnly: “To play with people’s hearts, all you need is a mouth.”
Just because a skill has never been used doesn't mean it's not at the maximum level.
Well, it’s not that I haven’t used it.
She also played a role in the separation of Xu Jie and Tianhai Wuxian.
Gu Chi: “…”
Although she was grateful for Gu Chi's reminders every time.
but-
She was really not the kind, innocent, pure and flawless White Lotus Saint Mother that Gu Chi and the others imagined! Chen Tang always felt that in their eyes, she was a potential victim of online fraud, an elderly person who loved health products, and a sucker who liked to buy P2P.
Who gave them this wrong impression
Gu Chi: “…”
Chen Tang scratched his head: "I didn't expect that this is the image of me in your minds. Alas, am I so unreliable?"
Sincerity or falsehood
Gu Chi also needs the ways of a scholar.
But she knew what the other person was like without any help.
It was just like the first time I saw Qi Yuanliang.
Gu Chi: “…”
Tsk, he was worrying about nothing.
Chen Tang seemed to be the one who could read other people's minds. He spread his hands and said, "This is not a waste of worry, right? At least it lets me know that Wang Chao is really jealous. Don't worry, I promise that even if the rich and handsome Gong Su and I continue to be affectionate, you will still be one of my wives! Your status will never be shaken!"
Gu Chi blinked: "Really?"
Shen Tang nodded: "Yeah, really!"
Gu Chi withdrew the little trick he had done at some unknown time.
The corner of Shen Tang's mouth froze.
Because she discovered that there was suddenly an extra presence nearby.
An aura belonging to Qin Gongsu!
Qin·White, Rich and Handsome·Gong Su: "…"
Tong Kong was shocked, his expression was stiff, and he was like a wooden chicken.
Chen·Unrestrained·Tang: "…"
She turned her gaze away from the innocent-looking Gu Chi and looked at Qin Li again. She swallowed hard and hesitated, feeling guilty: "Um, Gong Su, how much did you hear?"
Qin Li had a blank expression on his face: "We are rich, handsome, and handsome. You are a farmer, I am a farmer, we are in love, we have a wife who has been through thick and thin together, and our status is unshakable."
Does this mean that he has escaped from the tiger's mouth and fallen into the wolf's den
The relationship between the new lord and his ministers seems to be no less than that of Wu Xian, but Zhao Dayi never mentioned it!
Shen Tang covered his face with his hands.
I couldn't help but slap myself in the face.
You keep talking nonsense all day long, and now you finally get into trouble!
Moreover, if it weren't for Gu Chi who started the bad example, she wouldn't have followed his teasing. It's so annoying!
Chen Tang said in a very loud voice: "Gong Su, believe me, I only like the physique of a brave warrior, preferably Gong Xichou, who must be younger than me. I am innocent to my ministers and have no intention of taking advantage of them."
Gu Chi added fuel to the fire: "Oh, you think you're too old and too thin?"
Chen Tang was so angry that he wanted to hit him on the head with a stick, and roared: "Gu Wangchao, that's enough! If you continue like this, I guarantee that you will be single for the rest of your life. I will break up with every girl you date!"
I don’t know if it was because Chen Tang got angry and made Gu Chi wary, or because of something else, but he actually put away his cynical smile and told Qin Li seriously that he was the one who was not serious. He joked with his lord, but he never thought that Qin Li would hear bad words...
Qin Li: “…”
Regardless of whether what Gu Chi said was true or false, the impression of Gu Chi as a sickly and elegant gentleman in his mind was completely shattered...
It turned out that the misunderstanding was caused by distance.
Chen Tang didn't even dare to think about how this day ended.
I thought the matter had passed quietly, until half a year later, a group of aristocratic families kept recommending young warriors of their own, who were about fifteen or sixteen years old, to me. Chen Tang was a little confused at first, but he accepted all of them with a smile.
The infrastructure construction team needs young and beautiful people!
Those who are worried that the lord is addicted to men: "..."
Gu Chi and the others laughed so hard that their faces were crooked.
A few months later, Chen Tang met a few young men who looked a bit like Gong Xichou. She looked at Xu·Gong Xichou No. 2·Quan, who looked and dressed like her idol, and fell into deep thought: "Have you set up a Gong Xichou fan club?"
Xu Quan was confused: "What?"
Chen Tang slapped his thigh and said, "Wan Wan is like a grudge!"
This time, Gu Chi and the others laughed so hard that they gasped.
However, these are all later stories, so let’s not talk about them for now.
-----------------
Huang Lie's power collapsed quickly, leaving behind many troubles.
Because of these troubles, it took more than two months for the Chen Tang and Wu Xian families to truly conquer the entire Qianzhou. During this period, they fought with Huang Lie's three brothers. The three forces struggled to survive but were still defeated. In the end, two were killed and two were captured. The one who died was captured by Zhao Feng with his own troops, and they also had a collision with Tianhai.
In simple terms -
Tianhai started the fight and chased first.
After breaking through, the enemy fled in panic and ran into Zhao Feng's hands.
When the main force of Tianhai arrived, Zhao Feng had already cut off the head, and blood was dripping out of the wound, gathering into a pool of blood at Zhao Feng's feet. The leading general was the one with the biggest conflict with Zhao Feng, and his strength was even greater than Zhao Feng's.
Seeing the head fall into Zhao Feng's hands, his face turned pale.
"Zhao Dayi, what are you doing?"
Zhao Feng was also surprised, as if he didn't expect such a coincidence.
What is this called
This is what they call enemies often meet.
Zhao Feng clutched the head's hair bun tightly, looking back calmly: "What do you mean by what? General, didn't you see that Zhao had beheaded the enemy and was about to go back to ask for reward?"
Seeing this, the deputy general beside the general refuted it.
"This group of people were chased and surrounded by us and have been cornered. They can't escape even if they have wings. Are you following us with malicious intent to steal our credit?"
Zhao Feng looked at the person who was speaking speechlessly, raised his hand and pointed his thumb at the soldiers behind him: "What do you mean by following you to steal the credit? Look carefully, I'm escorting food and grass."
They were marching along just fine, but suddenly the scout came back with a report of a group of soldiers with suspicious behavior, so didn't Zhao Feng lead his troops to charge forward
He couldn't afford any loss of food and fodder.
I thought it was an ambush, but it turned out to be a military achievement that came to my doorstep. It seems that the head they cut off was quite heavy
The deputy general said, "If you say so, then so be it?"
Zhao Feng stepped aside and said, "If you don't believe me, go check it out."
At this point, the two lords are allies, and the normal process is to take a step back and keep each other safe. However, the two sides have a grudge, and Zhao Feng's words sounded like a sarcastic provocation to them. The deputy general was instructed to check the authenticity.
Zhao Feng narrowed his eyes when he saw that they dared to send someone to check.
He climbed onto the horse and casually hung the head on its back.
He sneered at his old rival: "You are still so arrogant."
The general said coldly: "Zhao Dayi, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of Lord Shen. Don't look down on us."
Zhao Feng grinned and said, "If my lord doesn't support me, will he support you? Whether he can do whatever he wants is Zhao's ability, you don't need to worry about it."
He seemed to want to vent all the anger he had endured over the years, and his eloquence was extraordinary. People with a less temper would really be angry. Obviously, the general in front of him was one of them, and his face became increasingly gloomy. Not long after, the deputy general held a handful of corn in his hand.
He said in embarrassment: "General, it is indeed food and fodder."
The general's face was darker than the ash at the bottom of a pot.
Since Wu Xian insisted on using a head to give Chen Tang an explanation last time, he obviously found that Wu Xian had changed, but he couldn't tell where he had changed. But he knew that if he wanted to regain Wu Xian's respect, he had to do something meritorious. Huang Lie had three younger brothers, who divided up his inheritance after Huang Lie fell. Two of the three were captured by Chen Tang and Wu Xian's troops, and only one was left at large in Qianzhou.
If we can win it, it will definitely change the public opinion.
Unexpectedly, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
The duck that was about to be caught flew into Zhao Feng's mouth.
Zhao Feng looked at the soldiers behind the general who were in a mess because of the rapid battle, and then thought about the remnants of the enemy who had just been annihilated. He immediately sorted out his thoughts. Was he getting a big bargain
but-
He has already taken advantage of this opportunity.
How can I give up the military merit that is already in my hands
"Thank you, General, for coming all the way here to deliver this military achievement."
Zhao Feng smiled and clasped his fists in thanks.
Behind him, his deputy winked at the others, and the words "Thank you, General, for coming from afar to bring us military service" were heard one after another, with some people grinning with their back teeth showing.
The anger and blood rushed straight to the general's crown.
