Chapter 374 374: Unexpected (4) [Two-in-one]
The wine on the strategist’s dining table was not touched, and only two chopsticks were touched on the dishes. From the reception of the feast until Shen Tang When called, this person quietly lowered his head. Not saying a word, not making a sound, the sense of existence is extremely weak.
He raised his head when he heard the words.
Showing a gentle and kind face.
Yes, gentle and kind.
It's as if the corners of the eyes and eyebrows have been carefully polished, making them so round that there are no edges. He has a carefully trimmed short beard, is handsome and elegant, and has a steady temperament. At first glance, he looks like a handsome middle-aged man who has read poetry and books and has a scholarly atmosphere.
In layman’s terms——
If this person appeared in a TV series, he would be absolutely decent!
The only shortcoming is that this person is not a tall person, and because his temperament is too harmless, it even makes people think that this guy is a bit weak. No matter the appearance or temperament, the figure is not the one that Governor Lu likes.
With Governor Lu's reckless temperament, he would never let someone who didn't suit him sit in the second-in-command position.
I still have some confidence in this.
Shen Tang didn’t wait for the middle-aged man to react, turned around with a smile and asked County Sheriff Lu: “Can Mr. Lu help introduce me?”
County Sheriff Lu: “…”
He looked at Shen Tang and then at the man.
He moved his lips but did not speak.
For some reason, the atmosphere became inexplicably stiff.
There is still a vague and dangerous atmosphere.
Shen Tang laughed and laughed: "Why are Mr. Lu so stingy? I'm just asking, and I don't intend to pry anyone out of your hands... As for such a treasure, he doesn't even want to introduce him... Sigh .”
Governor Lu twitched his lips.
But still said nothing.
For some reason, the staff member who warmly entertained everyone turned slightly blue, and his forehead was sweating like liquid. Large beads of sweat came out from under his skin and rolled down. Some hang on the chin, dripping down and wet the sleeves, and some stick to the neck and slide into the neck.
The Adam's apple rolled nervously.
While everyone's attention was not on him, he turned his back and wiped the sweat. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was sweating and shaking, and even his breathing was disordered.
At this moment, the middle-aged strategist spoke.
Even his voice is as elegant as this man's appearance.
He said: "Jiang Sheng, I am the first to ascend."
Shen Tang did not seem to notice the subtle atmosphere just now, and asked him with a smile: "But the first to ascend to capture the flag? Mr. Jiang's It's a good name, but it doesn't quite match your temperament. It sounds quite murderous..."
The middle-aged strategist asked Shen Tang: "How angry are you? Quality?"
Shen Tang kept talking, with a familiar attitude: "Mr. Jiang is handsome and elegant, making people happy when they see you, and they feel that you should be very kind. Holding the slip in hand, looking at the moon in front of the wind, I don't want to eat the fireworks of the world. "
As soon as these words came out, the smile lines in the corners of the middle-aged strategist's eyes deepened, but the smile did not penetrate deep into his eyes.
Sheriff Lu and his staff looked gloomy, looking at Shen Tang as if they were saying, "When did you become blind?"
Jiang Sheng picked up the wine and wanted to drink it, but he didn't know what he thought of and put it down: "Don't eat the fireworks of the world? Shen Jungao looks down on him, even if he is a character only in Fangshi dialect... You can see it with your eyes, but It’s just a stinky skin..."
"If the skin is stinky, is this person still alive?"
Shen Tang’s eyes were full of sincerity, as if these words came from his inner doubts. Rather than yin and yang.
Middle-aged strategist: "..."
Shen Tang looked at the middle-aged strategist with burning eyes.
Turn around and said to County Sheriff Lu: "The more I look at Mr. Jiang, the more I like him. Can County Sheriff Lu give up my love?"
County Sheriff Lu sneered: "Do you want to die?"< br>
Shen Tang curled his lips: "If you don't cut it, you won't cut it. It's just a joke... How come you can't even make such a joke?"
Chief Lu seemed to be hesitant to speak.
In the end, he still swallowed what he wanted to say.
He drank a lot of tea. Judging from his stinky face, he was in a very bad mood at this time. He just had a sign written on his face: "Whoever messes with me will die."
Shen Tang held his chin and watched the singing and dancing for a while.
She started to find fault again, looking for trouble.
Ask: "Is this the dancing girl and musician you raised in your house?"
Sheriff Lu said angrily: "So what?"
Shen Tang said: "They don't dance well, their steps and movements and the music are not right, it makes people's eyes hurt."
< br>Jiang Sheng seemed to be interested.
"Shen Jun is still proficient in music theory?"
Chu Yao's fingers froze as he quietly lowered his head to eat. Zhao Feng noticed his abnormality and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Chu Yao quickly returned to normal.
It’s just that the frequency of picking up chopsticks has become much higher.
He said: "It's nothing."
He Yin's official office has a strange little secret - the music theory of his own Governor Shen has a magical effect on losing weight.
Whoever hears it, the three-day diet is tasteless.
After Chu Yao finished speaking, he heard his lord say very confidently: "The song is wrong, Zhou Langgu is probably at this level!"
Jiang Sheng actually believed it.
How dare you touch Porcelain Zhoulang without a few brushes?
Shen Tang glanced at the dancers and singers, waved his hand, motioning for them all to get down and give the stage to her! Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere of the Jie Feng Banquet, let her show off her skills to everyone.
Chu Yao was stunned when he saw it, and for a moment he couldn't care that this might be the Hongmen Banquet instead of the Jingfeng Banquet.
He stopped him so eagerly that he almost broke his voice.
"Lord!"
I just enjoy myself in the official office.
For the sake of my lord, it doesn’t matter if the belt becomes wider.
However, family scandals should not be made public!
If it's a real performance, it won't take long for Shangnan, Tianhai and Yiru to know what their master's music theory level is.
They may be able to laugh for three years!
But Chu Yao still underestimated Shen Tang's confidence in herself. She waved her hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Chu Yao: "..."
At this moment, he was praying in his heart——
If God could hear his voice, something would happen. For example, Governor Lu and his team would reveal their flaws!
Shen Tang just put the jade flute to his mouth.
Chu Yao has turned his face away in despair.
However, at this critical moment!
There was a bang.
The roof was broken by a burst of martial energy.
As the rubble and sawdust fell, a young man in dark brown clothes jumped down from the entrance of the cave. Everyone in the hall woke up after hearing this and acted on guard. Sheriff Lu was startled at first. When he saw the figure on the young man's shoulders, he stood up after patting the case!
The figure looked thin and delicate.
Isn’t it the apple of his eye?
At this time, he was covered in blood.
Among everyone, Jiang Sheng was the only one who did not move. Shen Tang looked surprised: "Shaoxuan?"
The person coming was Bai Su, who was holding a sword in her right hand and resisting with her left hand. At this time, her face was extremely gloomy, and she could clearly see the situation in the hall. , decisively threw the person to Zhao Feng, retreated to Shen Tang, transformed into another sword, and said sternly: "Lord, there is a trick!"
Governor Lu had a sullen face and did not move.
He just stared at Jiang Sheng with big round copper bell eyes, and asked Bai Su: "Where did you kidnap this man from?"
Bai Su seemed surprised and suspicious when he heard this.
She said: "What'abduction'? It's obviously a rescue!"
Shen Tang asked: "Shaoxuan, what's going on?"
Bai Su: "Just now. Passing by a house, I smelled blood and someone called for help. I rushed in and took a look. What do you think my subordinates saw? Ru Nanding was killed, and the only survivor was saved by his elder brother. After his subordinates rescued him, they found out that this person was the youngest daughter of the Lu County Governor, and the Luxia County Office had been breached..."
Having said this, everyone looked at Governor Lu and asked him to give an explanation for this matter.
Shen Tang lowered his tone: "Is it true or false?"
Governor Lu didn't say a word.
At this moment, a huge fire broke out in the direction of the temporary camp. Hundreds of fierce men armed with swords and axes rushed out from outside the house and from the back hall, surrounding everyone. Not only that, firewood was set up outside the house at some point, and hundreds of archers were ready to attack. From this posture, even a blind person could tell it was Hongmen Banquet.
Shen Tang’s expression did not change.
She tapped the jade flute on her palm with great interest.
Asked Governor Lu: "You and I are allies, why is this happening?"
We came all the way to rescue, and this is the treatment?
In Governor Lu’s mind, Bai Su’s previous words echoed—dozens of women, children, and men were murdered! The only one left alive!
The scenery before my eyes flickers on and off several times.
I am so angry that I feel like smoke is coming from my orifices.
The anger broke through the limit, but he regained some sense, but his eyes were scarlet and covered with frightening bloodshot eyes, and his facial features looked ferocious like an evil ghost under the impact of anger.
"Ah——" He struggled to open his sore mouth, his voice was like a furious beast, his martial energy was out of control and the waves of air were flowing out. The oppression made Bai Su's face turn pale instantly. He felt better after being protected by Shen Tang's literary energy. "You, you - accept your fate!!!"
Shen Tang secretly thought what kind of nonsense this is. Just as he was about to take action, he saw Governor Lu's red eyes flash to the side of his staff, and he raised his palm to smash his Tianling Gai. The staff didn't even have time to beg for mercy, so they died and returned to hell.
Shen Tang could roughly guess something after looking at this.
This staff member is probably a collaborator.
The bandits also used the family members of the governor of Lu County or the people in the city as leverage to coax Shen Tang and other reinforcements into the city, intending to catch them all. However, if this was a normal ancient world, I guess it could really happen.
But this world is not scientific.
Every one of the more than 10,000 reinforcements can fight one against five.
Both the bandits and the reinforcements were unfamiliar with the situation in the city, and both sides had the same starting point. Shen Tang's side was still on guard, which eliminated their first-mover advantage in sneak attacks, and they voluntarily gave up their natural advantage in defending the city...
Bow strings buzzed outside the house.
Countless rockets were fired into the hall.
Chu Yao directly raised the Wenqi City Wall.
Several people who had been drinking and partying at the table also got up one after another. Looking at their strong bodies and their moves as fast as lightning, how could they look like they were delayed by alcohol?
“This place is too small, go out and fight!”
These ambush soldiers holding swords and axes are the same as the previous heavy shield warriors, their faces are numb, they are brave and not afraid of death, if they are attacked Being close is extremely disadvantageous to one's own side. Zhao Feng and several brave warriors are even more reckless - who are the enemies?
They have people too!
One person can recruit hundreds of followers!
The Wuqi soldiers immediately formed a human wall to block the ambush group, but the moment the two clashed, Zhao Feng's expression changed. The strength of these ambush soldiers is no less than that of a third-class hairpin.
Coupled with the desperate posture of one after another——
Shen Tang split the roof with one sword.
The ambush attack outside the house became increasingly intensive.
The blazing flames swallowed the tongues of fire and swept through the entire banquet hall in an instant. Commander Lu used a blade with strong martial energy to split open the two ambush soldiers, followed by several more people who came up to attack. His eyes could only see Jiang Sheng, who was still sitting upright.
"Jiang! First! Climb!" He roared and hacked at the seemingly endless ambush, "You bastard of chaos!"
Shen Tang and his party had already jumped onto the roof.
She said: "Chief Lu, don't be obsessed with fighting!"
However, the governor of County Lu did not listen.
The ambush soldiers also rushed up.
Shen Tang directly changed the position of one of the ambush soldiers with Governor Lu, and grabbed the person to meet him at the temporary camp. Although she was very relieved that Kangshi and the others, as long as precautions were taken, the group of homeless bandits would not pose much of a threat at all, she was still a little worried looking at the intensity of the fire.
But Governor Lu didn’t want to accept this favor.
His blood-covered face showed a hint of ferocity, and he said sternly and decisively: "I'll stay here to break up the queen!"
Shen Tang said: "What are you going to do! Join the large army to fight back the bandits and recapture the city. Damn it, let me tell you that you are unreliable. Since the government has been captured, if you give me some hints, we can Cooperation between inside and outside is much better than now - you still lied to me, is this how the alliance is cheated? "
Being on guard is one thing.
But that doesn’t mean you don’t care about being attacked.
It’s just a difference in the size of the loss.
Seeing the flames of war rising everywhere and the constant pursuit of troops behind him, County Sheriff Lu said cruelly: "I can't help you, I will definitely repay my kindness in the next life. If I get out of trouble this time, I can't help you." If you still have some strength left, please take care of the common people and the little girls in the city - they have a grudge against me, and I won’t be able to rest in peace until I kill a few more!”
He has fought against these bandits.
Knowing how difficult they are, there are so many of them.
One person must stay to stop the delay.
Don’t think about anyone else except him.
After saying that, he secretly transported Shen Tang and his party to the opposite direction of the pursuers with a burst of martial energy. Their faces were a little darker and more frighteningly determined! The long knife in his hand made a crack, and his martial aura was filled with murderous intent, condensing into a city wall that was more than ten feet high.
He stood in the middle of the road.
"Those who cross the line will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, his cheeks became unusually flushed.
With his excellent eyesight, Shen Tang could see what this guy wanted to do at a glance - he made the same choice as Captain Yang did, leaving no regrets or room for himself. And Shen Tang couldn't take him away like he took back Captain Yang. The only thing he could do was to integrate his forces and recapture the Luxia Administrative Office!
“I wish you good luck in martial arts!”
A group of ambush soldiers didn't care about the people blocking their way.
If there is someone, kill him.
At this time, Governor Lu seemed to have returned to his original nature. There was no trace of offensiveness in the surrounding atmosphere, and there was no trace of the previous anger and murderous intent. His eyes were indifferent. Just looking at the ambush soldiers, it was as if they were looking at hundreds of insignificant corpses.
He stepped forward.
One step, two steps, three steps...
He gets closer and closer to the ambush.
The two were about to confront each other, and Governor Lu's figure suddenly flashed, dissipating like smoke, replaced by blood exploding on the spot, broken limbs, and an ominous martial aura. In the blink of an eye, dozens of ambush soldiers in the front row could not even utter a scream, so they took their number plates and walked onto Huangquan Road.
Wherever the blade passes, there will be an enemy's blood debt!
However, the person Governor Lu wants to kill the most is——
Jiang Sheng!
Jiang Xiandeng!
The middle-aged strategist stood on the ridge of the roof, looking indifferently at the ambush soldiers lying down in groups like waves of wheat, as well as the almost bloody Sheriff Lu. He looked away indifferently.
“Why did you betray me?”
“Why did the Governor of Lu betray me?”
The figure twisted and dissipated, rushing to the real battlefield.
