Chapter 268 Chapter 268: Storm is coming [Two Thousand and Five]
“Fortunately, my lord, I am alert, otherwise Zhao Feng would have spread the word about this matter. With Qin Li’s resourcefulness, I am afraid that if he could have guessed some of the truth, he would have caused trouble. A murderous intent flashed through Gu Chi's eyes, "It's just the 'Qi Nai method.'" It doesn’t matter if it’s a door.”
Although the "Qi Method" is also very eye-catching, this thing has a high threshold after all - you have to have a talent as high as Lili, and this can be eliminated. Ninety-nine percent of the candidates were rejected - they were completely tasteless and worthless waste.
Shen Tang sighed: "It is essential to be on guard against others."
Zhao Feng is Wu Xian's man after all.
In name, he was here to repay a favor, but it didn't stop him from keeping an eye on Shen Tang as Wu Xian's spy. Fortunately, I don't have any secrets that cannot be seen by others. As long as I conceal the existence of the national seal, I can rest easy. Zhao Feng and the more than a thousand private troops he brought with him are the key to our own control of Heyin (free labor). It would be a loss if we don't make good use of it.
Gu Chi reminded: "Don't let your guard down."
Shen Tang laughed: "This is natural."
As for Bai Su——
Gu Chi asked Shen Tang what arrangements he was going to make.
Shen Tang looked confused: "How to arrange it?"
Gu Chi said: "Since Lin Feng, as a woman, can absorb the energy of heaven and earth and refine it into literary energy, then - Lord, have you ever thought that Bai Su can also do it? Absorb the energy of heaven and earth, condense the elixir palace and form martial courage? Although Bai Su is an ordinary person, he has good martial arts skills. He has been a snitch for many years and is now in a desperate situation. It shows that his martial arts talent is not weak. If he can be as powerful as a raccoon dog..."
Shen Tang's disadvantages are obvious, but so are his advantages.
In this case, why not use your strengths and avoid weaknesses?
If Bai Su can be as powerful as a raccoon dog, and can condense the first ray of martial energy at a young age, even if he cannot reach the top, he can still be a seventh-class public servant or an eighth-class public servant, and he can serve as a general on the battlefield. , make great achievements. It’s a ready-made “horse bone”!
If you buy a dead horse for five hundred gold, how much more will it cost you a live horse?
But——
It’s still a little too early to say this now.
Shen Tang said: "Adopt more young girls later?"
Loyalty can only be cultivated at a young age when the three views have not yet been fixed, and it is easier to cultivate. Gu Chi didn't mention it, but Shen Tang and the others were also prepared for this. However, Gu Chi still corrected Shen Tang's "mistakes".
He said: "My lord, what I said is wrong - we should adopt more young girls who are talented, strong-willed and understanding!"
We only have so few resources at hand at the moment.
It’s not that Gu Chi is stingy or indifferent, but it’s still very tight to feed the current population, and Shen Tang needs to use up 70 to 80% of his energy every day to not be hungry. Ten days and a half is fine, but as time goes by, it may damage the foundation. Where is the extra money and food to train ordinary people with insufficient returns? It won't be possible in the future, but not now - without potential, there is no value in cultivating.
Hearing this, Shen Tang did not refute, but took the initiative to change the topic and shifted the focus to Bai Su: "I would also like to trouble Wang Chao to test Bai Su's tone and see if there is any problem with this person. If there is no problem, If you are willing to be loyal to me, you can use it with confidence.”
As long as it is not deliberately controlled, a person’s heart will not lie. To put it simply, those who can pass the Gu Chi test may not be able to use it, but those who cannot pass must not be used. Even if they are used reluctantly, they are using their talents instead of their people.
But——
As an ordinary person who can collect so much information, who can say that he has no talent? If she is really brave and powerful, even if she cannot compete with the enemy head-on, she can still play her role in leading the cavalry soldiers to detect the enemy's situation.
Gu Chi saluted and accepted the order.
Shen Tang rubbed his eyebrows.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, I whispered secretly in my heart. I don’t know how Wu Xian and Gu Ren are doing - if she can win for herself the "justifiable" qualification to become the leader of Heyin, she will be able to occupy the "moral high ground."
It doesn't feel good to be "morally kidnapped" by others, but hey, it feels wonderful to be "morally kidnapped" by others. Especially the group of dancing monsters like He Yin cannot be dealt with by conventional means. They need to use violence to fight violence and evil to fight evil. This is the best strategy.
Shen Tang was still thinking about this in his dream.
"Ah Qiu——"
Wu Xian sneezed loudly. He lit an oil lamp and processed paperwork. He took out his handkerchief and blew his nose, muttering that he wouldn't catch the cold. Why is he always sneezing tonight, or is there someone slandering him behind his back?
At this time, Qin Li asked to see him outside the tent.
He stood up hurriedly: "Qin Qing, come in quickly."
Qin Li entered the account, and Wu Xian asked urgently: "How is the situation?"
Seeing Qin Li's solemn expression, Wu Xian couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. Down. He stared nervously at Qin Li's lips, fearing that he would hear bad news from him. Master Shen Lang left early and led his troops to Heyin. The alliance army also wiped out the Pig King rebels in Sibao County. Although he didn't get the national seal, he could still get enough of the credit for killing the rebels.
At this time, the king of the country Zheng Qiao came to give his orders.
The Xuan Alliance Army went to the palace to receive the seal.
While this news made everyone excited, they also started to beat the drum - they were worried that Zheng Qiao would go back on his word and catch everyone while they were going to be sealed. Frankly speaking, given Zheng Qiao's shabby reputation, this guess is not impossible.
Leader Wu Xian is the most worried among them. Because Zheng Qiao's palace moved to Qianzhou, which borders Lingzhou, and occupied Qushan County, which is not far from Sibao County. If he disobeys the decree at this time, he may be seeking death. From the day he received the decree, Leader Wu Xian's eyelids have been twitching.
When they arrived at Qushan County, where the palace was located, all the army was intercepted, and at most they took hundreds of elites to the outside of the palace city to receive rewards.
Leader Wu Xian wanted to find a way to avoid it.
But——
In the end, Qin Li persuaded him to give up the idea.
Escape at this time is tantamount to telling Zheng Qiao that he has a guilty conscience. Is it different from seeking death? Take the initiative to see Zheng Qiao and be frank. No matter how bad Zheng Qiao's temper is, it's not easy to take action against them. At most, he will be a scumbag in terms of rewards, and his life will not be in danger.
At this time, it depends on who can hold it steady.
Wu Xian smiled bitterly and began to envy Shen Tang.
Shen Tang ran away with the people early.
Although Heyin is also a place with poor mountains and rivers and evil people are rampant, it is easier to deal with than Zheng Qiao, and Zheng Qiao does not have as many troops.
Arrived outside the palace city, Qin Li went out to visit friends.
It is said that it is a visit to a friend, but in fact it is just to ask for information - look at Zheng Qiao's recent mood and attitude towards the Allied Forces. If Zheng Qiao really has murderous intentions, no matter what, he will have to run for his life overnight. If you don't have murderous intentions, you can take advantage of the situation and win over some people.
If someone in the court speaks good words for Wu Xian, it will be beneficial to future development. Because the circle of Wen Xin scholars was not large, especially the top boss like Qin Li, who had friends all over the world, he really got to know something.
The news I brought back wasn't too bad.
Qin Li's solemn expression softened.
Said: "Lord, don't worry, the news is not bad."
With these words, Wu Xian was completely relieved.
“Qin Qing, sit down and explain in detail.”
Qin Li ran all the way and hurried back after receiving the news. He didn't have time to take a sip of tea. He took a sip of tea to moisten his dry and smoking throat, and said, "A literary scholar appeared next to Zheng Qiao. His surname is Yan, his given name is An, and his courtesy name is Xingning."
Hearing the familiar name, Wu Xian was startled.
"Yan'an? Isn't he not going to be an official?"
Wu Xian felt aggrieved when talking about Yan Xingning.
He heard that there was a great sage living in seclusion somewhere, so he prepared generous gifts and went to invite the person to come out. This person was Yan'an and Yan Xingning. No matter how close Wu Xian was, how he favored him, how he treated the virtuous corporal, and received many benefits, Yan'an remained hard-hearted and unmoved. When he was annoyed, he sent him away because his filial piety period had not yet expired.
Wu Xian felt lost for a long time.
What you can’t get is always the white moonlight.
He said, "I am lucky to get what I have, but I am destined to lose it" and "If you don't have a chance, don't force it", but in fact, there is sour water in his heart. Why is Wu Xian so bad? You need status, you need fame, you need people, you need people, you need high salaries, and you never do whoring for free!
I don’t even dare to think about someone generating electricity for themselves and their love.
Why does Yanan look down on him! ! !
Hearing the news about Yan'an again, this guy actually became an official Zheng Qiao?
Why?
Why?
He was shocked and didn’t understand at all
Qin Li didn’t know that his lord and Yan An still had a dispute, and said: “According to the news, Yan An is Zheng Qiao’s fellow senior brother. We have known each other since childhood. Although Zheng Qiao's behavior is still violent, it has become much more restrained than before -"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Xian's voice suddenly rose.
Interrupted: "You said - their senior brothers???"
Good guy, really good guy.
Does he know why Yanan always has a weird expression when he comes to invite Yanan to come out, with a forbearing look that wants to put him in a sack, and he is always on the verge of an explosion in Yanan? Jump?
_(:3 ∠)_
Go out and get a courier first.
