Chapter 283 Chapter 283: The visitor is unkind [Please vote]
Shen Tang counted the time with his fingers.
Shocked: "Ren Shu came down so quickly?"
Gu Ren 666, the work efficiency is so high!
Gu Chi also did not expect that the unexpected joy came too quickly and suddenly: "Indeed, it is ten days earlier than expected."
According to the discussion between him and Qishan and others, he should get the appointment letter around the end of the month. By then, the bandits they had gathered would barely be able to see. The unexpected surprise was a mixture of surprise and fright, it was hard to say whether it was good or bad...
The joy gradually dissipated, Shen Tang also regained his composure, and couldn't help but prepare for the worst. She said uneasily: "As the saying goes, 'When things go wrong, there must be monsters.' We have no one in the court, and we are from the Alliance Army. Zheng Qiao's temperament should not be so happy and neat, and he is still a decade ahead of schedule - this matter Isn't it a trap? Gu Ren and Wu Xian wouldn't cheat me like this..."
However, that's hard to say.
Whenever the word "interest" is involved, it is not uncommon for fathers and sons to fight each other, and brothers to fight against each other. However, Shen Tang and the two of them are only "brothers" who have good friends verbally, and their contact time is not long. If these two people figure out something, they will stab her suddenly...
Shen Tang's mind is full of Gu Ren and Wu Xian stabbing her in the back. All kinds of conspiracy theories pop up like ink, and she falls into Selfless, poor Gu Chi suffered a heart attack at close range. It took a long while before he regained his composure: "That's not the case."
Gu Ren and Wu Xian...
Really care about character and integrity, they are all above the standard. Although Gu Chi couldn't hear Gu Ren's voice, judging from Gu Ren's past reputation and deeds, this person had a certain bottom line in his actions. Not to mention Wu Xian, who has soft ears and a bit of a bad temper. He is prone to act impulsively when his emotions are high, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
These two people really want to backstab...
That must be Gu Ren.
For some reason, Gu Chi is wary of Gu Ren, but he can't have any negative emotions at all. At worst, he is neutral. In addition, Gu Ren's reputation and deeds are the guarantee, and ordinary people will have a natural affection for him when they see him. ……
It's somewhat evil.
It is speculated that Gu Ren’s scribe’s ways are at play.
He was lost in thought, and at this moment he noticed that the light in the sight area was blocked, and Shen Lang's small hands were shaking left and right in front of his eyes. Gu Chi pushed it away with his fingers and said, "I'm not distracted."
Shen Tang had an expression of "You see, believe me or not" and chatted with a smile: "I'm not distracted? Then who do you think? So lost in thought?"
Gu Chi said: "It's Gu Ziyi."
"Gu Ren? What's wrong with him? Do you suspect he stabbed me in the back?"
The corner of Gu Chi's mouth twitched and explained: "No, I'm just curious about his way of being a scribe -"
“His way of being a scribe?”
Gu Ren has the way of a scribe, Shen Tang is not surprised - although the way of a scribe is a rare skill among literary scholars, it is a standard skill for great people, so it is not surprising that Gu Ren has one - she I just wondered why Gu Chi suddenly missed him.
Gu Chi said: "I can't hear his voice."
Hearing this, Shen Tang asked, "He intends to guard against you?"
Gu Chi shook his head: "Probably not."
Before, not many people knew about his way of being a scribe, and even if they did, there were very few There are people like Shen Tang who can deliberately let go of their minds at all times - it's okay for a while, but it's very energy-consuming to concentrate on doing this for a long time.
Gu Chi was sure that Gu Ren had blocked him.
Shen Tang held his chin: "That would be interesting..."
Gu Chi said: "There are some speculations at the moment."
"What speculations?"
Gu Chi asked back: "Master, don't you think Gu Ziyi's luck and popularity are too good? What about his personality?" Brothers who are sworn brothers, each with their own strengths, respect him. One or two may be lucky, but twelve in a row. The word 'luck' can't be used to describe it. When strangers see Gu Ziyi, they are happy..."
Shen Tang thought about it carefully, and it was true. She guessed: "Maybe he is a scribe. The Tao is the 'Long Aotian Halo'?"
Gu Chi: "What is that?"
Shen Tangxu covered his mouth and joked: "Long Aotian's halo, Gu Ren's body shook, and the heroes bowed their heads."
Gu Chi: "..."
Gu Chi: "...It's not like that."
If Gu Ren had such an unbelievable way of being a scribe, he would have led the alliance army to overthrow Sibao County, and Wu Xian, the leader of the alliance, would not have had the chance to come. Do. Gu Chi knew that Shen Tang's words were mostly meant as a joke, but she might have hit the mark on one thing - Gu Ren's way of being a scribe might affect some people's impressions of Gu Ren.
It seems useless, but it is better than moisturizing things silently.
Critical moments may be of great use.
So——
Shen Tang asked: "Did Gu Ren stab me in the back?"
Gu Chi stood up and said funny: "Is it an unexpected surprise, or is it... Don’t you know when someone sees a disaster coming from heaven? ”
There is no point in making wild guesses here.
It turns out that both Gu and Ren are innocent.
After they received the reward, they packed up their belongings without stopping and left Qushan County, Qianzhou, where the palace was located, and went to their respective territories, fearing that they would be killed by the renegade Zheng Qiao if they were slow. Especially Gu Ren, several of his sworn brothers have a big grudge against Zheng Qiao. If they breathe the same air with Zheng Qiao at close range, they may not be able to resist going to the palace to assassinate him one day.
Everyone is a firecracker!
And the letter was issued so quickly——
All because of an unexpected person.
Feast in peace.
Although Zheng Qiao didn't take Shen Tang to heart at all, Yan'an couldn't rest assured and sent a special person to see who Shen Tang and Shen Youli were. The messenger brought a piece of paper with the seal and ribbon of the governor of Heyin County, and traveled day and night.
However, the envoy did not expect that Shen Tang did not enter the territory of Heyin, but stopped at the border of Heyin to rest.
“Who is Mr. Shen?”
There were fifteen people in the envoy's party.
A literary scholar, a sixth-class official, two fifth-class officials, and the rest are all second-class and low-class officials, but they are not even ordinary people. Even Chu Yao couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he saw this formation, feeling that something was wrong.
Heyin is not big, poor and chaotic.
When a normal person takes office, it is hard to say how many years he will live, and the superiors may not pay much attention to it. They just send a letter of appointment. Why is it such a pomp? Chu Yao calmed down his emotions, settled them carefully and thoughtfully, and then sent someone to invite Shen Tang over.
It is said to be meticulous and thoughtful, but in fact it is just that.
There are so many people hiding in the mountains, using tents as houses, and their material conditions are just that. They can only provide some old tea and wine, and ask the envoys to moisten their throats and warm their bodies. The treatment can be described as simple and shabby.
These people didn’t complain much.
The leader of the Wenxin scribe looked around.
As far as the eye can see, many old and weak women and children are bending down to work, collecting firewood, boiling water, or sewing warm winter clothes. There are not many young and strong people in sight. If these people weren't in good spirits, they might have mistakenly entered a refugee camp...
The leader of the envoy took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes, and there was a hint of strange color in his eyes: "These are just some of them. It seems that there are more people that Duke Shen took away from Sibao County..."
Chu Yao stood on one side and said respectfully: "There are many hungry people on the road. My lord couldn't bear it, so he took everything he could with him."
The messenger lowered his eyes, murmured in a low voice, and said: "... There are many hungry people... Mr. Shen is interested. If there are more people like Mr. Shen in Geng Kingdom, maybe the world will be peaceful..."
Chu Yao didn't answer.
In fact, as long as there is a king like Zheng Qiao and a "good person" like Yibu Wulang, they can be killed.
Zheng Qiao played a bad game until he was almost in a situation with Tianhu, which is indeed admirable, but from Tianhu's advantage to what he is now, it is his own fault. The people of the Geng Kingdom and the survivors of the Xin Kingdom did not curse day and night. If you prick a villain, you are considered to be well-educated.
The envoy simply didn't expect Chu Yao to say anything.
While waiting, the messenger's eyes fell on Chu Yao. Seeing that Chu Yao had a young and mature appearance, but with an unusually long gray hair, he asked casually.
"What do you call me sir?"
Chu Yao said: "My surname is 'Chu'."
It is inconvenient to tell you the name.
When the messenger heard this, he asked, "Is it Chu Yao?" Chu Yao's heart trembled.
Because his restoration of Wenxin could easily reveal the national seal in Shen Tang's hand, so his former identity has been concealed from the outside world. Only a few people close to him know his past. The visitor said this name as soon as he opened his mouth, which made people feel fearful.
However, Chu Yao did not hesitate at all.
Looked at the messenger with suspicion and surprise.
"How does the envoy know?"
The envoy did not answer and asked: "Which 'yao'?"
Chu Yao smiled and said: "The yao of Guangzong Yaozu..."
The envoy He asked again: "Where are the words?"
Chu Yao said: "The words are not obscure."
The envoy looked at Chu Yao. Chu Yao looked calm. He even pretended to be weak and was secretly tested by the former with his words: "Looking at the faint literary spirit flowing around you, you must be a literary scholar."
Chu Yao said. : "My strength is low and I dare not show my embarrassment."
Messenger: "Your name reminds me of a person who was famous in the northwest many years ago. He is also a native of Chu."
"Are you talking about the three heroes of the motherland?"
"Homeland?"
"I was once a native of the Chu State. After the Chu State was destroyed, my father changed my name for me, and I put some trust in it..." At this point, I realized that the Chu State had been destroyed for many years, and even the Xin State that destroyed the Chu State No more, the world now belongs to the Geng Kingdom. He knew that he had made a mistake, so he timidly pursed his lips and swallowed back the unfinished words.
The messenger can understand his mood.
But it didn’t stop there.
Ask again: "Where is your inscriptions?"
Except for special circumstances, inscriptions are always worn with you. This thing is a symbol of status, similar to officials. Wearing a seal. In some more sophisticated countries, this is even a customary social etiquette.
It is very rude not to wear it if you have a monogram with a text.
"My strength is low, my literary talent is scarce, and my rank is not high. It is a bit difficult to maintain the monogram." After Chu Yao finished speaking, he was ashamed and his face was red. However, under the gaze of the envoy, he was still "struggled" "The ground turned into a literary monogram.
Silver-grey inscription monogram.
Ninth grade, the monogram is rough and blurry.
This is very typical of "weak".
The envoy took one look and motioned Chu Yao to take it back. Seeing that Chu Yao's expression was gloomy, the envoy pursed his lips, explained gently, and carefully comforted him, saying that he did not mean to embarrass himself, and hoped that Chu Yao would not take it to heart. He was just curious. .
Chu Yao said: "The envoy has also heard of those three people?"
The envoy nodded: "Those who have heard of it are yearning for them."
So after hearing this, Chu Yao "Chu Yao" has the same pronunciation and same word, so he would be so "discourteous" - he said so, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart. He also mentioned Gong Shuwu in casual conversation, saying that he wanted to meet him.
Chu Yao: "..."
The visitor is not good!
But he can't stop it from being seen.
It happened that Gong Shuwu returned from patrol.
Seeing the appearance of the envoy, an imperceptible strange color flashed in his eyes.
Due to the angular distance, the messenger did not notice it.
The envoy was equally curious about Gong Shuwu.
On the way here, he knew that Gong Shuwu was the tenth-level left concubine chief - he had been unknown before, but it was only after the fall of Xiaocheng that he gained some fame after the battle in the city. After that, I have been following Shen Tang, training quietly, with no sense of presence, and a background character.
Understanding the simple background of Gong Shuwu, the messenger was a little moved - Gong Shuwu is not too old and is in the golden period of his rise. Once he reaches his peak, he can still maintain it for another twenty years or at least thirteen. Waiting for more updates.
Although Zheng Qiao does not lack bravery and courage, the more the better.
But, as expected, he was declined.
The reason is also valid——
Gong Shuwu asked in reply: "Forgive me for being a martial artist who doesn't know etiquette. Why do you think I am a widower till now?"
Messenger: "..."
No need to ask further, this must be Zheng Qiao’s fault.
The messenger realized what was interesting and stopped talking.
Just at this time, Shen Tang arrived on a motorcycle.
Gong Shuwu breathed a sigh of relief.
If he doesn't spread the firepower, he's afraid that his secret will be revealed.
If Kang Shi were here, he would have discovered that the appearance of this envoy was exactly the same as that of Yan Xingning who had come to him.
Shen Tang rode his motorcycle back all the way.
There was hot sweat on my forehead, and I was panting from my mouth and nose.
She jumped off the back of the motorcycle.
When the envoy saw this, he knew that this person was Shen Tang.
At the age of twelve, the color of the inscription on the waist is as clear as crystal, lower than the ninth grade.
Although he is a literary scholar, his martial arts skills are extremely high.
The previous information is all correct.
It’s just the back part——
Looking at Shen Tang’s not-so-tall stature and slim figure, the envoy was skeptical about this part of the content.
Having not seen it with his own eyes, but based on word of mouth from outsiders, he really couldn't believe that Shen Tang could fight Gong Xiqiu in front of the battle.
"Shen Jun."
Shen Tang wiped the sweat with his sleeve: "The envoy is well."
The envoy took out the dispatch document, checked his identity with Shen Tang, read out Zheng Qiao's decree, and then handed over the seal and ribbon of Heyin County Sheriff to replace Zheng Joe managed a few words. As for other things - in extraordinary times, cumbersome etiquette has always been avoided when possible.
The smooth progress of the matter made Shen Tang in a daze. Out of courtesy, he asked the envoy to stay for a while and at least have a meal before leaving.
The messenger declined politely.
He still has important matters to rush back to resume his life.
After not resting for a while, the messenger took the people away.
Shen Tang looked at Chu Yao and Gong Shuwu, who looked unhappy, and asked, "What did the envoy test?"
Chu Yao: "It's not like checking the household registration. Carefully, I am worried that he is suspicious of something, and I don’t know if he has been deceived.”
Shen Tang played with the official seal and turned it around.
He said casually: "If he has not been deceived, let him have an accident. Humans, there is no one who does not bump into each other when going out. It is normal for someone to be unlucky and lose his life, don't you think so?"
Unexpectedly, Gong Shuwu poured cold water on him: "This method may work against other people, but it won't work against him. Does the Lord know who this person is? His name is Yan'an, and his courtesy name is Xingning. He has perfected the way of being a scribe at a young age. A strange man. If you kill him now, he will be there immediately. I am intent on murdering you from thousands of miles away."
