Chapter 237 Chapter 237: Wake up, take out the stronghold [2-in-1]
If there were forums in this era, an anonymous request for help would probably appear at this moment, and Shen Tang had already thought about the content.
#HELP! A tenth-level Zuo Shu chief swore allegiance to me, but I have no idea what to do during the ceremony. Urgent! #
When the book is used, it will be less regrettable!
Shen Tang also hated himself for not paying more attention to this aspect.
I don't know how to deal with it.
Did she directly take the Wu Danhu Talisman handed over by Gong Shuwu? Or should you put your hand up and say "I accept your allegiance" in a very neutral way? Or, stretch out your hands to help Gong Shuwu up? Why do people say he is still a wounded person...
Shen Tang was at war with nature in his heart.
In fact, I didn’t hesitate for a long time.
"Okay, okay! I, Shen Tang, will never let you down!"
Shen Tang solemnly took the Wu Dan Tiger Talisman presented by Gong Shuwu, bent down and helped it up. Gong Shuwu also followed the force and sat down again. He raised his palm and inhaled, and the Wu Dan Tiger Talisman turned into pure martial energy again, peeled off bit by bit, and integrated into his meridians.
As the martial energy was peeled off, a square seal the size of a baby's fist was left in Shen Tang's hand, with a green dragon on top.
The last time I saw this green dragon, it was only as long as a thumb. I don't know if it was Shen Tang's illusion, but it was slightly larger at this moment, and even the aura surrounding it was stronger than before. If you look closely, you can vaguely hear the sound of dragons roaring and tigers roaring.
Shen Tang said: "You gave it to me?"
"Yes, it is not appropriate for the seal to stay with Wu. I hope-" Gongshu Wu paused. His eyes swept over the seal, "I hope that my lord will not forget his original intention and can truly benefit the people of this place."
He looked at the seal with complicated eyes.
There was relief, expectation, reluctance, and worry... He didn't know whether his decision at this time was right or wrong.
The old leader of Xin State appointed him as the "entrusted minister" and "entrusted him" to him, asking him to take the national seal to escape, hoping that he could help the descendants of Xin State restore the country... But this hope is real Too slim. Gong Shuwu could only guarantee that the national seal would not fall into Zheng Qiao's hands.
Now entrust the national seal to Shen Tang. If Mr. Shen Xiaolang can protect a people or overthrow the Zheng Qiao court, Gong Shuwu will ask himself, he is worthy of the salary he received from the Xin Kingdom in those years. But looking at Shen Tang, who still had an immature face——
He had a similar mentality to Qi Shan and others.
Is it really right for me to let such a simple and straightforward young man shoulder a heavy responsibility beyond his years?
But when he thought of Qi Shan and Chu Yao, two evil-minded scholars who were not easy to get along with, Gong Shuwu's warning words swirled on the tip of his tongue several times, and finally he was swallowed back. Shen Tang clasped his palms together and said, "Tang must keep in mind what I said today." He has not recovered yet, and he has been sleeping for many days. While talking for a while, waves of sleepiness overwhelmed him like waves crashing on the shore.
Seeing the tiredness on Gong Shuwu's eyebrows, Shen Tang told him to rest in peace and cultivate himself. He also helped tuck in the quilt, got up and left the tent.
Stepping out of the tent, she smiled and clenched her hands.
The Great Seal, the size of a baby's fist, rippled, and the texture of the jade turned into a fluid gel. At first glance, it looked like a small light blue dragon. It was as long as a thumb, and quietly penetrated into the skin of the palm, as if it was completely absorbed by the skin, smoothly. It flows through the meridians into the elixir mansion.
The moment you enter, it is like a drop of water dropping into boiling oil.
Flying beads splashing jade, rolling endlessly.
The commotion inside the Dan Mansion can be described as landslides and ground cracks, mountains roaring and tsunami. However, Shen Tang had a normal look on his face. He was distracted and carefully told the soldiers standing on the left and right at the entrance of the camp to take good care of Uncle Gong. Wu. If you have any questions, let her know immediately.
The soldier said: "Yes!"
Shen Tang didn't go far when she saw two literary counselors standing in the wind. She changed her direction on tiptoe and walked towards them.
There are still six or seven steps away from the two of them.
Qi Shan and Chu Yao both bowed their hands.
They said in unison: "Lord."
Shen Tang: "..."
Although I knew that two people were secretly pushing for Gong Shuwu, it was one thing to know, and it was another thing to see them admit it with my own eyes. I don’t know whether I should feel sorry for Gong Shuwu or myself...
Let’s feel sorry for each other together.
Shen Tang coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said to the two of them: "There are no outsiders here, so you can just call me as usual."
I'm used to hearing "Shen Xiaolangjun" and "Wulang" ", the two suddenly changed their names, which made Shen Tang very, very, very uncomfortable. The power was comparable to Pan Jinlian calling Wu Dalang to drink medicine, and his whole body was hairy...
The two of them did not refuse.
Qi Shan asked: "Is it half a step to explain?"
Shen Tang nodded and said: "Yes."
Hearing Shen Tang's personal admission, Qi Shan and Qi Shan breathed a sigh of relief. ——As the saying goes, "Man's calculation is worse than God's calculation." Even if the two of them are fully prepared and calculate every aspect, there is still no guarantee that the Gongshu Wuhui will truly hand over the national seal and completely return to their heart.
Although that national seal is the icing on the cake for Shen Tang, who already has a national seal, once it falls into the hands of others, it will create endless troubles! If you can get this thing like the national seal, try to hold it in your own hands!
A heartfelt smile appeared on Chu Yao's face.
He said: "It's so good, so good!"
I don't know what a good day it is today. Not long after Gong Shuwu woke up, the soldiers who took care of Captain Yang also brought good news - since Captain Yang, who had been seriously injured and unconscious since the Battle of Xiaocheng, finally woke up!
Shen Tang: "..."
Her feet seemed to be rooted in place and stopped moving.
It’s not that I don’t want to visit, it’s just——
Shen Tang pointed at his face and asked Qishan and Chu Yao in a low voice: "Yuanliang, Wuhui, if I go, will he hit me?"
Qishan said expressionlessly: "He has already It's useless."
Chu Yao said: "It can't hurt Wu Lang."
Shen Tang: "..."
That's what she said, but she was still a little timid. .
That’s not right either——
It’s more like “intolerance” than cowardice.
Because she couldn't bear to see what Yang Duwei looked like at this time.
What is the other party’s mentality?
Dejected and discouraged? Is your heart filled with despair?
Are you seeking death in anger? Or crazy?
When she responded to Gu Chi before, she did so without hesitation and with a clear conscience, but when she really had to face it, her mentality was different.
Shen Tang hesitated: "It's not as good as you-"
Before she could finish her words, Qishan took a step back.
Chu Yao smiled as gently as a holy father, but the words he spat out extinguished Shen Tang's last hope - regarding Captain Yang's matter, the person who untied the bell must tie the bell! Whether it's fighting generals to save people or stealing tax money, Shen Tang is the leader and the main person in charge!
Shen Tang: "..."
She moved over step by step.
If you shrink your head with a knife, you can also extend your head with a knife!
It’s better to let the storm come more violently!
Shen Tang took a deep breath and raised her hand to open the tent where Captain Yang was recovering from his injuries. When she glanced at it, she was dumbfounded for a moment.
In the imagination, Captain Yang woke up and found that he was a disabled person, so the scene of him going crazy and beating around did not happen. The camp was still neat and clean, but there was a strong smell of boiled herbs floating in the air.
Just as he was about to retract his steps, he heard Captain Yang's hoarse and feeble voice coming from inside the camp: "Since you're here, why not come in?"
Shen Tang: "..."
She walked in bravely.
The layout of Duwei Yang's camp is the same as that of Gong Shuwu, except that the people sitting on the hospital bed are different. Seeing Captain Yang, who had lost several pounds in just half a month, with a haggard and sick face, and a heavy air of twilight surrounding him, Shen Tang was speechless for a moment.
His expression was too calm.
Yang Duwei asked: "Did you intercept the tax banker?"
Shen Tang: "..."
He still remembers this.
During the period of being seriously injured and comatose, his dreams were chaotic and messy, but only the scene of intercepting and killing the tax banker that night was clear. The tall man with beards turned into a short man-looking Shen Tang. He repeatedly praised this righteous man for his chivalrous heart.
In short, he is so angry!
Shen Tang simply admitted: "Well, I did it." Captain Yang's hands resting on the quilt were clenched into fists.
Shen Tang said shamelessly: "But I also saved you, and I fought to the death for Xiaocheng, so I can't take the credit as equal to the fault..."
Captain Yang almost laughed angrily at Shen Tang.
He said: "How can the merits and demerits of this sect balance out?"
Shen Tang's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, with an expression of "I have it right here", which made Duwei Yang's forehead beat wildly, and his blood pressure Soaring.
Seeing that Captain Yang's expression was on the verge of an attack, Shen Tang thought he had lost control and was going crazy. Unexpectedly, he just closed his eyes in disbelief, his expression jumping back and forth between ferocious and calm.
Shen Tang was puzzled.
Duwei Yang endured the burning anger in his heart and said in a rough tone: "That's all, I'm just not as good as others!"
The matter was revealed like this.
Shen Tang: "???"
Actually——
Just expose it like this?
Shen Tang showed his psychological activities on his face, which made Captain Yang become even more angry. He gritted his teeth at this hateful young disciple: "Now that the matter has come to this, will you pay back the stolen money?"
She replied: "It must not be."
The thing that came into her hands was naturally hers.
Shen Tang only cares about one thing -
Why didn't Captain Yang ask about his Dan Mansion's courage? ? ?
For a brave warrior who once climbed to the eleventh rank of right concubine, losing the power he was proud of is a major event that is more painful than the collapse of the sky. Captain Yang's reaction was wrong! Shen Tang stood still, just looking at Captain Yang worriedly.
Captain Yang was puzzled at first.
As soon as he saw this hateful young man, his heart ached, but when he touched Shen Tang's eyes, he understood. His eyes were slightly red, and he held back his tears and laughed at himself: "My husband's family is gone, my parents are gone, my wife and children are gone. ...As a lonely person, does it matter whether you have physical strength or not?"
Shen Tang was silent.
The air in the camp was also filled with silent sorrow.
She didn’t know what to say.
He said dryly: "Please forgive me..."
No matter what conflicts he had before, how Yang Duwei was a person, or how he acted, at this time, he was just a poor man who had lost his blood relatives and was alone. It seems that in this world and this era, it is a fate that cannot be escaped.
Shen Tang left the camp in a daze.
The expression was as usual, but the overwhelming depression and gloominess really made Gu Chi, who had the "Scribe Way" of Kengbi, suffer. The bitterness and weakness even affected his taste buds, making everything in his mouth taste bitter.
Gu Chi: "..."
It’s better to endure Shen Tang’s chatterbox!
Fortunately——
This emo state did not last long and was quickly dispelled by business. Looking at the leaders of the major forces gathered together again, Shen Tang secretly cursed, as expected, social animals are not qualified to hurt the spring and autumn. This meeting also means that the first battle is approaching.
The new alliance leader Wu Xian still ranks first.
The difference from last time is that Shen Tang moved his position out of the corner, and finally no longer had to stare at the back of his friend in front of him.
The alliance army came to fight against the rebels of King Shi, not to travel at their own expense. The amount of food and grass they consumed in one day was not a small amount. The rebels in Xiaocheng remained silent, but they couldn't afford to delay. After waiting for a few days, they decided to take the initiative!
This is exactly what everyone wants.
When Wu Xian, the new leader of the alliance, proposed it, no one objected.
As for the deployment arrangements, they have been discussed for several rounds before and have been decided, and no one has any objections. However, a few malicious glances swept over Shen Tang——
Shen Tang was drunk, almost ruined the blood-sacrifice ceremony, and even boasted about Haikou. Although no one mentioned this, they were all waiting to see the joke behind their backs.
The new alliance leader Wu Xian issued orders one after another.
Finally, it was Shen Tang’s turn.
He confirmed with Shen Tang again and again.
"Master Shen really wants to fight in the first battle?"
Shen Tang smiled gently but firmly.
"Yes, but I wonder what Leader Wu thought about it?"
Although she didn't remember what she did when she was drunk, such a big gossip would surely reach her ears in detail.
"I hope that your military fortune will be prosperous and your flag will be victorious. You and I -" Wu Xian did not answer directly, but pointed at Shen Tang, then pointed at himself, and smiled, "Like a robe, like a pair of hands and feet." ."
"Tang should do his best to live up to Brother Wu's trust."
For a while, everyone in the tent had different expressions.
Secretly, Shen Tang is used to hitting snakes with sticks.
Is this changing from "Leader Wu" to "Brother Wu"?
Some people are disdainful, some people are laughing, and some people have nothing to do with themselves.
Shen Tang took in all their expressions and laughed them off.
The real drama has just begun.
The army will set up camp before dawn tomorrow.
You need to be more vigilant this night, for fear of a night attack by the rebels at this time.
It turns out that their worries were unnecessary.
The Xiaocheng rebels are calm on the surface, but in fact the waters are still and deep. The subordinate officers around the old general knew this best. Secret messages with increasingly harsh wording made the air suffocate.
No one dares to hit the gun at this time.
In recent years, the old general has begun to keep a low profile and bide his time. He used to be a decisive leader in killing and killing anyone who got into his hands. At this moment when everyone is in danger, there is only one person whose painting style is different.
Needless to say, this person is Gong Xiqiu.
I have been recovering from my injuries for a while now, thanking guests behind closed doors.
Even the confidants sent by the old general to visit were rejected twice. The soldiers below were talking a lot and their hearts were floating.
As for Gong Xiqiu himself?
Privately, I get up early and go to bed early, enjoying my leisure time.
Get up to practice in the morning, meditate at noon, play marbles at night...
Where can there be a majestic battlefield with one enemy against many?
The subordinate officials tried to persuade him, but they were ignored.
This evening.
Gong Xiqiu woke up from meditation.
I was told that the confidant sent by his adoptive father had been waiting for a long time.
The confidant of the adoptive father: "My lord is hosting a banquet to invite the young general to come over."
Gong Xiqiu frowned: "Why do you want me to come over in such a boring occasion?"
He Were you able to sing or dance in the past? ? ?
