Chapter 223 Chapter 223: It’s a meeting [two-in-one]
Shen Tang thinks that a meeting is just a group of people getting together. You speak and I follow up. We all work together, brainstorm, face difficulties, and discuss The strategy of advancing troops. The rebels who occupied Xiaocheng are not weak. They also have Gong Xiqiu, a big killer!
This is the conference that Shen Tang imagined.
As for the actual conference——
Let’s not talk about whether it was efficient or not, but it was indeed much more exciting than she imagined. Have you ever seen a rural market? It almost tastes like that. Shen Tang came with Gu Ren, but the seats were arranged far away from him, and the treatment was very different.
Gu Ren frowned.
It seems that I am not very satisfied with this arrangement.
However, he was not the organizer of the slaughter of cattle and sheep and the banquet for all parties. He had nothing to say and just sat down in his seat. As soon as I sat down, I saw a few familiar people. They exchanged glasses, smiled and exchanged pleasantries. The scene seemed harmonious.
It’s just——
Under the harmonious surface, there is an undercurrent.
Shen Tang didn't come alone, he also brought Qishan Guchi with him.
First of all, Qi Shan is worried about Shen Xiaolangjun. Who makes this Shen Xiaolangjun so good at creating "surprises"? He still wants to live for two more years.
Secondly, how can there be any reason for a boss to work overtime alone?
Gu Chi took the initiative to invite Miao to come, and bring one more of him.
Shen Tang had a strange expression on his face: "Aren't you too noisy now?"
Gu Chi tidied up his clothes slowly, the heat brought by the green plum wine had not dissipated, and his eyes were still a little blurred: "It's noisy, but it's also interesting... I really want to know how many of these people are sincerely responding to the so-called edict. Ling's..."
Shen Tang asked in confusion: "Is there anyone who fishes in troubled waters?"
Gu Chi said with a smile: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink..."
< br>Shen Tang was confused when he heard this.
Coming here in response to the edict was naturally the bait thrown by Tu Zhengqiao, but Gu Chi said, "The drunkard's intention is not to drink"... Is it possible that there are people here with other purposes? Shen Tang suddenly remembered something, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and shook his head.
"...If so, the ambition is not small..."
In addition to the rebels under King Shi's account, Xiaocheng also has the "unaccounted for" national seal... Tsk tsk tsk, these forces are so here. Kuai, it is true that "a drunkard's interest is not in wine" but in the national seal. Shen Tang curled his lips and agreed to take Gu Chi with him.
Even with the addition of Gu Chi, who has a sick look on his face, Shen Tang and his party only have three shabby people, and all three of them are literary scholars. There is no courageous warrior who has a sense of security at high altitude. As expected, he was placed in a remote corner.
What is even more depressing is——
There is a row of brothers in front of Shen Tang.
This is also a tall brother. He is so big when he sits still, completely blocking Shen Tang's sight.
Unless Shen Tang stood up, he would not be able to see the faces of the power leaders sitting in front of the tent. She looked with some despair at the slightly raised butterfly bones and strong back of her friend in front of her, and listened to the chatter and discussion around her.
Shen Tang: "..."
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Punching the table secretly!
She also wants to breathe the high-altitude air! ! !
Gu Chi chuckled slightly, and Shen Tang glared at him. Perhaps he was shocked by this sharp look, so he changed his words to comfort him very well: "Shen Lang is still young, he will still be able to grow taller in the future... After all, the foundation is here, don't panic."
Only then did Shen Tang look away.
Gu Chi said: "Mr. Shen——"
Shen Tang folded his hands on his chest, still a little angry.
The tone of the response was also a bit angry: "What?"
Because of the deceptive scholar's way, Gu Chi is proficient in the trick of multi-tasking - listening carefully to people's voices while paying attention to their mouths While speaking, he also had to talk to Shen Tang: "Mr. Shen thought that—among these people Are there any that you like?"
Shen Tang asked, "Is there anything that I like?"
She pointed at the back of the friend in front of her and said, "I don't even know what they look like. I didn’t even see it, I just looked at the back...”
The meeting experience was extremely poor.
Gu Chi said helplessly: "I don't mean what they look like."
No power is interested in appearance and position.
Without waiting for Shen Tang's answer, he added: "It's not just the back. Shen Lang observed their words and deeds. Are there any heroes among them?"
Shen Tang: "..."
To be honest, she was even more confused.
Who can be recognized as a hero just by chatting or having a meeting?
If you have a fight with a real knife or a real gun, or get intimate for a while, who knows if you are really capable or if you have a silver pewter gun tip? Shen Tang didn't know anything about them and shook his head honestly: "I can't tell which one counts right now, I'll just wait and see."
Gu Chi said, "I found one."
Shen Tangjing (Eight) God (Hexagram) was excited: "Who?"
She was curious about who could please Gu Chi...
You must know that this guy's scribe's method is "mind reading".
The criteria for selecting people must be very harsh. Only those who are consistent on the inside and outside can make him take a high look. Because she was so curious, she couldn't help but lean forward, fearing that she would miss the gossip.
Gu Chi was dumbfounded when he saw this: "Didn't Lang Shen think it was him?"
Shen Tang: "...are you kidding me?"
Gu Chi smiled Then he took away the wine cup on Shen Tang's table.
Said: "Mr. Shen can take a guess."
Shen Tang: "..."
She has every reason to suspect that Gu Chi said this call was to defraud her of her wine! He curled his lips secretly and took the two plates of snacks into his arms as if he were protecting food, hiding Gu Chi's coveted gaze.
Qishan on one side glanced at Gu Chi inexplicably.
Avoid Shen Tang and communicate privately.
The two looked at each other several times, going back and forth.
Before they could come to a conclusion, the camp, which was as noisy as a market, slowly became quiet. Apart from the breathing of everyone, the only sound left was the crackling sound of lamps and candles burning. It turns out that the pre-war meeting has officially begun! Shen Tang also changed from being casual and sat upright.
She stared at the back of her friend in front of her. At this time, a strange middle-aged man's voice came from the top of the tent.
The man said in a calm voice: "Now, by the order of the Lord of the Kingdom, all the gentlemen have gathered here to attack the rebellious traitors. Do you have any strategy for advancing the army?"
After the words fell, he followed closely. Then a man with a slightly sharp voice spoke: "I think that if you want to defeat the rebels, you must first establish an alliance leader."
Shen Tang's eyes lit up.
She is familiar with this process!
Following this is the Versailles show-off session.
The so-called alliance leader is naturally the one with the strongest strength, the best family background, the highest reputation, and the largest territory among the people...! It's probably going to take a while.
Shen Tang couldn't drink, so he could only drink tea to moisten his throat. While drinking, he said to himself: "Ku Ye, I hope they choose a leader soon, otherwise I'm afraid my bladder won't be able to handle it if I drink too much tea. …It’s not okay to run out to use the bathroom in the middle of a meeting…”
Due to the altitude, she couldn't see the speakers. She could only listen to their voices and footsteps to judge their approximate age, height, and strength: "It is true that fighting for power is an instinct engraved in the bones. A leader of a poor alliance can also fight for it. Zheng "Qiao is not here and he is not dead. Do you really think he is a puppet with no power?"
Gu Chi was even more relaxed.
He is at a high altitude and is not that miserable.
With the addition of Mr. Shen, he found that this kind of occasion is not boring - he can observe the speaker while proofreading Shen Tang's complaints, and the latter's random thoughts can always bring unexpected surprises , adding a different kind of fun to the boring wrangling. He agreed with Shen Tang's point of view.
Although the so-called alliance leader can restrain everyone to obey orders, he can also do some small actions in private - such as tilting resources to his own side. However, it would be better if he lost this battle. Once he wins, the so-called alliance leader will become a thorn in Zheng Qiao's side and a thorn in his flesh.
A leader who is well-liked by everyone, and also has reputation, family background, strength and territory, it is strange that Zheng Qiao would not mind...
However, not everyone is stupid.
Some people jumped out to fight for it, while others were not interested.
The battle for alliance leader is not very intense.
The alliance leader was quickly chosen.
A man named "Wu" is young, about thirty years old by visual inspection, with a neatly trimmed goatee. His clothes seem low-key, but in fact, the word "expensive" is revealed in the low-key. The most important thing is - this person has the strength of half a county!
The most powerful among all.
Don’t think that half a county is small. You must know that today's continent is divided into hundreds of countries. Some small countries only cover half or one county. They are sandwiched between big countries and struggle to survive. A typical example is the Chu State back then!
Although this man surnamed "Wu" is not the nominal owner of this half of the county, he does have real military strength.
As soon as he stood up, everyone else fell silent.
Just kidding, it’s not the same magnitude at all!
How can a force of two to three thousand troops compare with a force of ten thousand?
Shen Tang was puzzled and muttered privately: "How could such a great guy come to participate in this if he doesn't just lie down and recuperate? He is not afraid of being targeted by Zheng Qiao and secretly destroyed. ? ”
The first bird is shot!
Shen Tang suddenly thought of Gu Chi's previous question.
Got it.
This man surnamed "Wu" is probably here for the national seal.
As long as he gets the national seal, in a sense, he has the qualification to be on an equal footing with Zheng Qiao. He also has the military strength of half a county. If he absorbs the forces oppressed by Zheng Qiao, he will be able to defeat Zheng Qiao in a short time. can develop. This is the pursuit of wealth and wealth in danger——
A consensus was reached, and with the leader of the alliance, everyone burned incense and drank blood under the leadership of the brother surnamed "Wu". Only then did Shen Tang see the appearance of the new leader among the crowd. It was similar to what she had imagined, except that there was an indescribable sense of dignity and arrogance between her brows.
Talk and look at people without squinting.
Because the conditions were very limited, the Blood Alliance did not choose another auspicious day, but directly used local materials.
The new leader dressed up, wore a sword, purified his hands and burned incense.
Bow once, twice, and again.
Read an impassioned speech.
Drink a bowl of wine dripping with livestock blood, and finally throw the bowl to express your determination! Everyone else followed suit one by one, except Shen Tang...
Except Shen Tang!
Forced to be the center of attention, Shen Tang said: "..."
The new alliance leader noticed Shen Tang standing in the corner. Seeing that her face was childish and her location was so remote, she felt very moved in her heart. The forces can be estimated to be close to ten. I don’t think such a small force can have much effect, but if it doesn’t cooperate with the process...
This is a big problem.
The new alliance leader had a gentle but majestic smile on his face. Before he came closer, he asked from afar: "What do you call this young man?"
Shen Tang pursed his lips, never expecting that Given this development, we can only bite the bullet and answer: "I am going to Shen Tang."
The new leader asked: "Why doesn't Mr. Shen drink this wine?"
I had to ask directly. Did she have a problem with the alliance.
Others looked at Shen Tang with complicated and incomprehensible expressions.
Shen Tang could only say half-truthfully: "This, this, I don't have a good drinking capacity... I was afraid of showing my shame in front of others, so I didn't drink."
Her drinking capacity is one problem, and the other problem is that she feels raw. Drinking the blood of livestock is not very hygienic - usually chicken blood is used to form a blood alliance, but the person to be attacked is the "Pig King", so the livestock is chosen as a pig, and it is a pig that is slaughtered on the spot! The smell is overwhelming!
Shen Tang took a sneak peek and saw that the pig didn't pay much attention to hygiene. It was still struggling and howling miserably during the bloodletting...
If you really drink it, you won't get sick, right?
I was really worried that a group of people would ally themselves with blood to attack the Pig King, but they would get the plague on the way and die young... But then I thought about it, swine fever doesn't seem to be contagious to humans, unlike chicken fever. ?
She was about to grit her teeth and drink it. Unexpectedly, the people around her moved faster than the other, making her look like an alien.
Not even giving her a chance to make amends.
The new alliance leader obviously does not accept this argument.
The eyes of others also added a bit of unkindness.
Only Gu Ren stood up and made peace with Shen Tang. He said: "Mr. Shen is indeed young and has a poor drinking capacity. How about a cup of tea instead?"
The new leader did not say anything, but someone else was "outspoken." He sneered: "Young? If you are really young, you should stay at home and be protected by your father and brother, or enjoy the warm and fragrant soft jade, and be tainted by the corrupt style of drunkenness and dreaming, instead of Staying among a group of heroes, in such a solemn place, causing trouble for us!"
Some people couldn't help laughing.
Shen Tang's expression changed, and he looked at the man with a somewhat unkind look, and declined Gu Ren's suggestion to replace Zhuojiu.
Sneered and said: "Okay! Then keep these words in mind, and you will have to stop me from drinking like crazy later!"
After that, he raised his head and drank. And done.
Qishan had a headache and stepped forward to help Shen Tang, who was drunk.
The new alliance leader also agreed with the "outspoken" speech in his heart. After all, Shen Tang is really too young and not as tall as his youngest son. What is a kid like him doing to get involved? But he didn't expect Shen Tang to be drunk instantly! I closed my eyes on the spot!
"He is..."
Qishan sighed: "My Lord is drunk..."
New leader: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Are you really drunk? ? ?
There were few ordinary people present, they were all literati and daring warriors with keen senses. Shen Tang's breath changes could still be felt, and they were all speechless and choked.
He secretly complained about Shen Tang for ruining the solemn and solemn occasion of bloodshed, but some people also noticed that Qi Shan had a weak sense of presence.
The man opened his eyes wide in shock and immediately called him.
"Are you——Qi Yuanliang???"
I lost my voice because I was too shocked.
Qishan looked at the sound, his expression slightly stiff.
Gu Chi raised his eyebrows and asked secretly: "Are you old?"
Qishan's face was light and calm.
While responding to Gu Chi: "Former colleagues..."
Gu Chi understood instantly.
If there are former colleagues, there will naturally be former lords.
The scribe's way of praying for good is well known to Master Fei.
Qi Shan had to say: "Long time no see, brother Qin."
The new alliance leader looked at his confidants and asked with some curiosity.
"Qin Qing, do you know each other?"
_(` ∠)_
I overestimate myself. Another update is in the early morning, and there are still two thousand words left. Finished masturbating...Gan
