Chapter 257 257: He Yin [Two in One]
As soon as Shen Tang came back, he saw Chu Yao standing outside the camp waiting for a long time. The latter was looking at her with a smile, his eyes going back and forth between her and Qi Shan. When he was sure that there was no sign of displeasure, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and the smile on his face became a little brighter.
"Wuro is back."
A simple greeting.
Shen Tang said: "Well, Wuhui Xun, what's wrong with me?"
When she got a little closer, she found that Chu Yao's clothes were stained with cold air. It was obvious that he didn't come here by chance. He must have been wandering outside the tent for a long time. Shen Tang thought Chu Yao had something important to do with her, but she was obviously wrong.
Chu Yao shook his head and said: "Nothing happened. I just saw that Wu Lang had not returned for a long time. I was worried that he had lost his way. I was thinking of sending someone out to find you and Yuan Liang. I hope I come back safely."
Qi Shan couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly after hearing this.
This excuse is really clumsy and perfunctory.
Is it so difficult to directly admit that you are worried about the Lord and him?
Haha, to be honest, it’s quite difficult.
Without any doubt, Shen Tang raised his hand to open the tent and motioned for Chu Yao to go in and warm himself up by the fire. Although Literary Scholars' bodies were much better than those of ordinary people, he had seen Chu Yao old and frail. From the looks of it, Shen Tang always had the illusion that he was in poor health.
By the way, I also have something to tell Chu Yao.
Concerning the encounter with Gong Xiqiu at night, and being told about the "Gu disaster in Wu State" by him, Gu Ren was also involved.
Chu Yao was stunned for a while.
He had never expected that his Wulang would encounter so many things just once when he went out. What was even more shocking was that Gong Xiqiu dared to kill him single-handedly - such a confident and reckless warrior was really Not common.
After hearing this, Chu Yao pondered for a few breaths.
He whispered: "If the facts are as Wulang guessed, and Gong Xiqiu's strength is related to subduing Gu disaster... then this Shaochong will probably be great in the future. He is particularly obedient to Gu Ren... ...However, Goro's considerations are not unreasonable..."
At present, Gu Ren is not an enemy.
Instead of thinking about weakening the enemy's strength, it is better to think about strengthening yourself. If the Shaochong thing is done properly, Gu Ren owes a huge favor, which is extremely beneficial to himself. Wulang has no foundation at the moment, so he must take advantage of the situation to develop himself...
And——
This is probably also the "examination question" Gong Xiqiu gave Wulang.
This test question contains mostly probing elements. Chu Yao was thinking about how much benefit he could get from this free favor - compared with his poor Wu Lang, Gu Ren could really be regarded as a "rich man", and he would be sorry if he didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity.
Compared to Chu Yao's tact, Shen Tang plays straight.
“It’s better to have many friends than one enemy.” Shen Tang sat cross-legged carelessly, with his elbow bent against one knee, his chin resting on his palm, and he clicked his tongue and said, “Besides, Zheng Joe hasn’t fallen down yet. At the moment, he still wants to live his own life.”
It doesn't matter whether it is Gu Ren or Wu Xian, the leader of the alliance.
The two were allies for a long time.
Tsk, to be precise, "rich allies"?
Qishan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and said: "I 'borrowed land' from the alliance leader Wu Xian before... Wu Xian is a soft-eared person, but he is easy to talk to, but Qin Li beside him is not a good person... …The ‘borrowed’ place may be detrimental to us.”
If a piece of land is allocated under Wu Xianzhi’s territory...
Restrictions on military training, restrictions on people's livelihood, restrictions on trade...
A lot of efforts were made to develop such a place, but in the end they just made wedding dresses for leader Wu Xian, working in vain.
When the "lease period" is up, the land stays and the people leave. With Qin Li's attitude of being on every possible precaution against him, he could definitely do this!
It’s not like Chu Yao has never worried about this.
Hearing that Gu Ren owed a favor, he had a good idea. When Shen Tang heard this, he no longer felt sleepy and immediately became energetic - after all, it was the first small piece of land, which had a different meaning. If the start could be simpler, who would be willing to challenge the hell difficulty?
Chu Yao and Qi Shan looked at each other.
The two always have a tacit understanding on this kind of issue.
He said: "We can bypass Leader Wu Xian."
Shen Tang frowned: "Bypass him?"
How to bypass this?
Chu Yao: "Just as Wu Lang said, Zheng Qiao has not fallen yet, and he still has soldiers and horses in his hands. Even the leader of the alliance army Wu Xian dare not openly oppose him. If we can defeat the rebels this time, Retaking the occupied Sibao County is a great achievement. The entire alliance should be rewarded based on their merits. Then, why not let Gu Ren come forward to recommend it?"
The initiative lies with Wu Xian. Xian's side.
But with Gu Ren’s recommendation, the initiative lies with you.
At least we have some autonomy in the selection of places.
Moreover, it was Zheng Qiao who personally issued the clerical appointment.
In essence, even if it is the same place, the meaning is different. At least when the "lease period" expires, you can justifiably refuse to pay back the debt. Yes, Chu Yao and the others never thought about paying it back. I borrowed it based on my ability, what should I pay back?
As for why you have to focus on Wu Xian’s territory?
Of course it’s because it’s easy to enjoy the shade with a big tree at your back.
Chaos is happening everywhere. If you go out alone, you will have to face the dilemma of being surrounded by enemies. It is better to choose a neighbor who knows the root of the problem. The family is too poor to open the pot and you can go there and have a break.
Moreover——
The territory Wu Xian controls privately is indeed good.
Shen Tang’s stomach was rumbling with bad water.
She smiled and said: "This is a good idea."
Qi Shan: "But we can't completely offend Wu Xian."
So the choice of site is particularly important.
Shen Tang nodded repeatedly.
I am afraid that Shen Tang, Gu Ren, and Wu Xian did not expect that they magically came up with a place, but the starting point was completely different.
On the second day, Shen Tang used his uncle Wudang as an excuse to ask Gu Ren to borrow a doctor. During the chat, he mentioned the territory he planned to "borrow" from leader Wu Xian - this was the place Chu Yao and Qi Shan spent the night together. Pick and choose to find out. When Gu Ren heard this, his heart moved.
He said: "Master Shen is really confused."
Shen Tang pretended to be confused: "Ah? Where are you confused?"
Gu Ren said: "The people in that place are strong and it is not easy to take over. It is really not worth it for Master Shen to exchange his contribution to defeating Gong Xiqiu in front of the battle. What did the leader of the alliance say to you?" He couldn't help but secretly wonder. I suspect Wu Xian is bullying a child and has never seen the world.
Or maybe he said something to coax Shen Tang.
Shen Tang neither said yes nor no, she just looked confused and a little panicked: "What should we do? If we change the place again, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's hard for Leader Wu to speak." She said. Well, he looked very embarrassed.
All I had to do was write on my face, "I don't know what rejection means and I'm super easy to bully." It looked like an innocent person who had never been beaten up by society. Shen Tang is young and has a tender face, which makes her temperament even more obvious, making people feel affectionate for her.
On age——
Shen Tang is the same age as most of the children of the Alliance Army, and looking at her appearance, even an old fox like Gu Ren would be deceived if caught off guard. In addition, Gu Ren is also determined to "borrow flowers to offer Buddha" to repay the favor, so it is natural to follow the trend.
He said: "This is easy to handle!"
Shen Tang thought about it and felt aggrieved: "This, this is all, because offending Leader Wu about this matter is not worth the gain... Borrow it from other places , he may not be happy...they are just some bandits and evil people, I Are you afraid that you won’t be able to suppress them if you have Gongshu Wu?”
Gu Ren said: “But this would be too unfair.”
Thinking carefully, Gu Ren came up with his own suggestion: “No way. In this case, where will Gu recommend you to take office?”
If Wu Xian had not been killed in the process, the position of alliance leader would most likely fall on Gu Ren. It can be seen that Gu Ren's reputation and popularity are quite good. He said hello to the others and spoke together, and the matter was settled.
The actual control of that area is in the hands of Wu Xian. Presumably the leader of the country, Zheng Qiao, does not mind going along with the situation and issuing this appointment document to "drift" the relationship between the alliance forces. The more he thought about it, the more Gu Ren felt that this was feasible, and now all he had to do was wait for Shen Tang to nod.
How can Shen Tang not nod?
There was some excitement on his face, but he still said that he would go back and discuss with Qi Shan and others before making a decision. Gu Ren did not push too hard.
Things went very smoothly.
After leaving Gu Ren, Shen Tang returned to his tent and received an invitation from the alliance leader Wu Xian.
Shen Tang took a sip of tea to moisten his dry lips.
She joked: "This meal can be eaten in the past."
As she expected, leader Wu Xian really cares about the meal.
A small banquet was held in honor of Shen Tang.
Because Shen Tang couldn't drink, he drank tea instead.
After changing the cups, leader Wu Xian asked about the "borrowed land", but he did not open his mouth to decide on the "lent" land. Instead, he kicked the ball to Shen Tang and asked Ask her where she wants to "borrow". Listen to her opinion and decide whether to adopt it or not. Shen Tang smiled shyly and opened her mouth to "borrow" a piece of land that was not too big or too small, not too barren or not rich, under the rule of Wu Xian Alliance, but she knew that no one would borrow this land.
If it is "lent", Wu Xian himself cannot take care of both ends. Isn't he looking for death? He immediately refused with an embarrassed expression.
The reason is just interesting.
This place is the hometown of his second wife, who has to go back to visit her during the holidays, so it is not convenient to "rent it out".
Although she was rejected, Shen Tang was not disappointed.
Anyway, there are alternatives.
Gu Chi accompanied him throughout the whole process and watched the play with great interest. He sighed inwardly - I didn't expect that Shen Lang had two sides. He was quite experienced in singing, reading, and fighting. What on earth made Qi Yuanliang and Chu Wuhui have the illusion that Shen Lang was innocent?
Is this called simplicity?
Gu Chi, who had no expression on his face, was lost in thought. As he watched the two men test and "play hard to get" again and again, the topic finally got to the point.
Leader Wu Xian said: "How is He Yin?"
Shen Tang was just right to confuse: "He Yin?"
Wu Xian started the sales mode.
Boasting about Ha Yin’s merits.
The most important point is that Heyin is next to Wu Xian's site instead of inside it. It will be more convenient for Shen Tang to develop in the future. Compared with nearby sites, the land is relatively flat and vast, with mountains and forests, and rivers running through it. Not bad indeed.
At least on the surface, there will be very little constraints from Wu Xian.
The actual situation——
You will know once you go there.
Anyway, this is the sales method. Before selling, try your best to promote and expand the advantages. Once the product is confirmed, we will not be responsible for the after-sales service.
Shen Tang was in a dilemma: "He Yin, I've heard of this place... Ordinarily I shouldn't push Brother Wu's good intentions, but..."
He Yin doesn't say it's big or small.
Two hundred people thrown in can’t make a splash.
Wu Xian’s sales pitch was too half-hearted.
“Ahem, this good brother doesn’t need to worry...”
Leader Wu Xian clapped his hands.
After a while, a burly man walked in from outside the tent.
It turned out to be Zhao Feng, whose face was still a little pale. He was beaten by Gong Xiqiu yesterday, and his injuries have not fully recovered yet.
Shen Tang looked at Zhao Feng and then at Alliance Leader Wu Xian, confused. Wu Xian smiled and gave Shen Tang a "free settling-in gift package": "Yesterday I wanted to thank brother Xian for saving Dayi's life. If you don't give up, let Dayi go over and help you? How about that?"
< br>When he said this, Alliance Leader Wu Xian felt a little guilty.
The place in Heyin...
He felt a little sad when he saw it.
With Zhao Feng and a thousand-number private unit led by Zhao Feng, facing He Yin, who is all evil and has a tough character, it feels more or less like driving people into a pit of fire. If it weren't for Qin Qing (Qin Li)'s insistence, leader Wu Xian would actually want to change places.
At least——
It doesn’t look so deceptive.
Lend out one of your confidants?
Shen Tang’s mouth twitched inwardly.
Zhao Feng is indeed a powerful and courageous warrior. Shen Tang saved his life, and he came to repay the kindness of saving his life. There is no problem in logic at all. At the same time, he can also convey to the outside world the feelings of leader Wu Xian towards Shen Tang. bona fide. As for whether Zhao Feng was allowed to keep an eye on Shen Tang...
It depends on the beholder and the wise.
At least, with Zhao Feng here, Shen Tang would have to worry about some small moves. Despite these constraints - Shen Tang accepted it after hesitating for three seconds. Zhao Feng had obviously been greeted in advance, and he responded without saying anything.
As for what kind of gathering place for jackals, tigers and leopards is Heyin?
Zhao Feng didn’t care.
When Zhai Le heard about this, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
He asked a question from the soul.
“Why such roundabout ways?”
Shen Tang said: "Of course there are 'difficulties'."
With this credit, Shen Lang was able to justifiably win a place in front of Zheng Qiao - it was not safe to detain people like the Alliance Army. It's better to spread it further and break it up - in this way, it really doesn't need to go through the hands of Wu Xian and Gu Ren.
The only drawback is that it is opaque.
It’s as exciting as opening a blind box.
There are so many advantages that you don’t have to count them all.
But——
There is a big problem before Shen Tang.
Qi Shan and the others reminded her of this problem.
In a sense, she and Zheng Qiao are on the same level - both are the owners of the national seal, and they are kings without seeing each other. Once they meet, it is very likely that "the sky will collapse and the earth will collapse" , perceive each other - in this way, the possibility of Shen Tang being exposed is too great.
Qi Shan didn’t dare to bet on this “possibility”.
Therefore, Zheng Qiao can only be avoided.
In other words, someone needs to come forward to fight for her.
Leader Wu Xian and Gu Ren are just right.
As for the little "petty profit" lost...
If it is lost, it is lost. The most important thing is to achieve the goal.
Zhai Huan did not find out what the "difficulty" was.
But——
“I have been to Heyin, that place——”
Zhai Le shook his head as he spoke and looked at Shen Tang worriedly.
He was worried that Brother Shen would suffer a big loss.
In Heyin, there are either people or food.
Otherwise, it is almost impossible to take it down completely.
Shen Tang smiled and said: "Don't be too pessimistic, Xiaofang. There must be a way for a car to reach the mountain, and for a boat to reach the bridge - believe me, there is no perfect way. The most important thing is - I believe that there is no strong person in this world who can be stronger than my sword."
"If there is..."
Shen Tang's smile suddenly dropped.
"Just cut it!"
_(:3 ∠)_
I really overestimated myself.
In the afternoon, I went to have a long manicure with nails added. It took two hours to trim and trim my nails. It cost more than 200 yuan. Good guy, when I came back, I found that I couldn’t type at all...
I have tried the keyboard, but I am so angry when I see that time is almost passing and I haven’t typed a few words yet!
I had no choice but to cut off a lot of my beautiful and fresh long nails, which was heartbreaking!
That’s it, I’ve only written two chapters and can’t finish anymore.
Gan!
I will definitely make up for yesterday’s update tomorrow!
Make a fist!
PS: It’s really difficult to choose a place with a name that doesn’t have the same name as in reality. I scratched my head and picked a dozen. When I checked Baidu, they were all ancient place names that had been used. What kind of luck is this? ? ? He Yin is just He Yin, don’t care.
