Chapter 662 Chapter 662: Another New Year [2-in-1]
"Gonggong, Gonggong, Xiqiu—are you crazy?" Chao Lian tried his best to tilt his neck back and took a greedy breath of fresh air. While trying hard to break open Gong Xiqiu's fingers that were pinching his neck, if the other party's force was stronger, his neck would be broken by this reckless man's hands. Hit, "Are you going to strangle me to death?"
"When did you see that person?"
"Where did you see him?"
"Say! If you lie even one word, I will twist off your head. Even if Gu Ziyi leads his troops, they can only collect your body!"
Gong Xiqiu relaxed his strength, but still didn't let go.
Chao Lian looked at Gong Xiqiu above, coughed twice, and signaled to him if he could get up: "This is not the place to talk, and we don't look like we can talk like this..."
As soon as Gong Xiqiu saw the piece of paper, he suddenly became angry.
Pinching Chao Lian's neck with one hand, he pushed him down on the table.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the nearby vendors fled quickly.
"Cough cough cough -" Feeling the strength on his neck lessening, Chao Lian seized the opportunity to turn over and get off the table. He held the table with one hand and kept coughing. After a while, he regained his composure and asked Gong Xiqiu, "That person looks similar to you." , is he a relative of yours?”
Looking at his age and appearance, he is probably Gong Xiqiu’s younger brother?
Chao Lian felt a little regretful.
He only met Gong Xiqiu once or twice. When he saw the young man's immature face that day, he felt vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. After seeing Gong Xiqiu's iconic alien attire, he suddenly remembered that the two of them looked similar.
Gong Xiqiu looked at Chao Lian with cold eyes.
"Answer my question."
The words "If you don't answer, you will die" are written in his eyes.
Chao Lian was very knowledgeable about current affairs and replied: "I met him on the 16th. The young man looked young and young. He looked like he was at least thirteen or fourteen years old. He came to the city to buy cloth, needlework, salt, sugar and other items. . Because of a small matter, I had a conflict with Shisan. . This person is neither a literary scholar nor a brave warrior. He used unprecedented methods to subdue Thirteen with just one move. "Young man?"
Gong Xiqiu made a final decision with his fingers in his heart.
The more I calculate, the brighter my eyes become!
"Is everything you said true?"
Chao Lian asked back: "This person is related to the lives of Thirteen. Our brothers want to find him more than you do. What's the point of deceiving you? Benefits?”
Gong Xiqiu was ecstatic!
At this age, he is definitely the eldest brother’s child!
His great nephew!
In order to further verify his guess, Gong Xiqiu wanted to see Shaochong. According to Chao Lian, his good nephew had a fight with Shao Chong, and there was definitely evidence left on Shao Chong. His heart was like an arrow, and he couldn't wait for a breath, so he dragged the person away.
Chao Lian’s neck was in crisis again.
“Gong Xiqiu—let me down!”
“Don’t scream!”
Gu Ren wanted to dig three feet into the city these days, but no good news came. As the full moon night came closer, he became more and more anxious, and he looked at the table full of letters and had no intention of dealing with them. After reading a few lines, I couldn't help but sigh.
Boom——
A loud bang!
The violent martial energy hit the door of the government hall.
Gu Ren is also a person who is used to seeing assassination scenes. He calmly raised his hands and waved his sleeves. The literary barrier rising from the ground blocked the wind of the frontal attack. The wind filled his sleeves and made a hunting sound. But other things in the hall were not so lucky and were washed away in a mess.
Like the ruins after a hurricane.
“Who is so presumptuous!”
Gu Ren scolded in a deep voice.
The nearby guards and adopted brothers also rushed over.
When he saw the intruder clearly, Gu Ren's serious expression cracked for a moment - Gong Xiqiu! His twelfth brother was still clamped in his arms, with a look of despair. After all, he was an old fox who was used to seeing troubles. He blinked and returned to normal. When he saw the distinctive clan pattern on Gong Xiqiu's body, he was secretly shocked. He immediately thought of the young man that day and waved his sleeves to ask the guards to retreat.
"General Gongxi paid a sudden visit, why?"
"Meet your brother."
Gongxi's enemy general Chao Lian was left behind.
The tone was arrogant and natural, as if he was the master here.
Gu Ren ordered Chao Lian to bring Shaochong.
There are two other sworn brothers, like the two generals of Hengha, one on the left and the other on the right staring at Gong Xiqiu to prevent the other party from suddenly making an attack. Gong Xiqiu sneered at this, completely ignoring the two weaklings. He didn't become serious until Shaochong appeared.
"Fifteenth grade young master?"
Gong Xiqiu could see through Shao Chong's strength at a glance, and Shao Chong also recognized Gong Xiqiu as the enemy general who fought in Xiaocheng. , they even had a fight, but they didn’t Opponent, almost killed: "Brother, why is this person here?"
Gu Rendao: "Looking for you."
Shaochong rolled up his sleeves: "Looking for me? Looking for me Fight? ”
Gong Xiqiu curled his lips: "Just you?"
If it were other fifteenth-level juniors, it would indeed make him feel troublesome, but Shaochong was not among them. The opponent's strength was achieved by stimulating the potential of the Gongxi clan's secret skill Gu worm. It overdrawn his vitality and lifespan, and the Gu worm was still a half-finished product that looked different from the others. In this case, even if Gong Xiqiu is not the high priest, he can still indirectly destroy Shaochong by influencing the Gu insects.
Gu Ren shouted to Shao Chong: "Thirteen, don't be rude!"
Shao Chong calmed down and did not dare to disobey Gu Ren.
Gong Xiqiu stepped forward and walked around Shaochong in front of everyone. He walked to the back of the latter, reached out with his hands like thunder, grabbed Shaochong's collar and tore open his shirt, revealing his clothes unexpectedly. Half back. Shaochong jumped up and retreated, saying: Why did you destroy my clothes? ”
"Look at your back."
Shao Chong said with a cold face: "They are all men, how can they be good-looking?"
After saying this, Gong Xiqiu looked at him with an undisguised look. Disdain: "You're lucky, you saved your life for the time being." Only then did everyone see that there were totem-like lines on Shaochong's back at some point, which were clearly visible in the sunlight.
The texture is divided into two colors: brown, black and green.
The brown and black are the patterns of ferocious insects, and the green is like a circle of trees and vines.
The latter envelopes the former.
Gu Ren was surprised: "Is this?"
Xu was in a good mood, and Gong Xiqiu was willing to say a few more words.
“The unique sealed word spirit of the high priest of the Gongxi clan is specially used to suppress the secret art of Gu insects. Newborns of our clan, regardless of male or female, must plant a companion Gu insect on the day of the full moon. This kind of Gu lives and dies with the host, and can only speed up the healing of injuries, assist in cultivation, and make the host healthy and of high quality. Yes, as long as the host does not suffer fatal injuries such as decapitation, there is a certain chance of survival... However, the more overbearing the effect of the Gu insect, the easier it is to get out of control and be sealed by the high priest. The host's strength increases as he ages, and the seal is gradually released. "The quality of the worms in his body is the highest, with only seven appearing in the family records.
Why did Gong Xiqiu get one?
According to Jimo Can -
[Your brother is stupid and he is trying to make it up to you. 】
Gu Ren's eyes lit up: "Is this a seal?"
Gong Xiqiu nodded: "Yes."
This seal is enough to prove one point——< br>
The high priest of the Gongxi tribe appears!
His good nephew is the high priest of this generation!
"...according to General Gongxi's words, the seal will gradually be unsealed as he grows older. In other words, is Thirteen safe now? Will there be no danger on the next full moon night? "Gu Ren held his breath nervously, waiting for Gong Xiqiu's answer. "Yes!" Gong Xiqiu changed the subject, "However, the Gu worms on his body are not pure, they are just the products of the four different species, and the sealing effect may not be that good. If he wants to save his life, he must improve his strength even higher before the seal disintegrates. , or find the high priest and apply another layer. Stabilize your emotions and try not to stimulate the Gu insect's awakening, which will speed up the disintegration of the seal."
After hearing this, Gu Ren clasped his hands in gratitude.
Sincerely said: "Thank you!"
Gong Xiqiu didn't care about their thanks, he just wanted to know——
"Where did the person who left the seal go?"
< br>Gu Ren smiled bitterly: "To be honest, we don't know either. I heard that he had a way to save Thirteen, so we immediately closed the city for several days just to find him. After so many days, there was no news."
Gong Xiqiu frowned, obviously dissatisfied with this answer.
"You don't even know where he went?"
"Sorry, I don't know."
"Then what do you know?"
The way Gong Xiqiu looked at them It's like looking at a pile of rubbish. I answered everything, but the other party just replied "I don't know"?
Chao Lian and Shao Chong know best.
But Shaochong's expressive ability is far inferior to the former.
He then told all the details of what happened that day, hoping to help Gong Xiqiu. It was a matter of eldest brother and nephew. Gong Xiqiu listened very carefully and refused to miss a word.
"That's it?"
Chao Lian said: "That's all."
Gong Xiqiu suppressed his dissatisfaction, Gu Ren said with a look: "If that person If Xiaolang appears again, we will definitely inform General Gongxi." He also politely asked Gongxi Qiu to stay for a few days so that he could show his friendship as a landlord, but he refused because of his lack of dignity.
He has important matters to attend to.
Who wants to waste time with Gu Renxu and Wei Snake?
Seeing that he could not keep her, Gu Ren took the initiative to offer some money as a thank you gift, just to form a good relationship. Gong Xiqiu accepted it unceremoniously. As quickly as he came, he left just as quickly. However, instead of looking for his eldest brother and nephew, he went directly to Yiru.
Looking for someone, Zhang He.
He is the only person in Gongxi Qiu Zhizhi who has seen the appearance of the "sacred object". If the "sacred object" Zhang He has seen is exactly the same as Mama's when she was young, then the sacred object = Mama, there will be a few more Very reliable. Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful about what happened back then.
Shen Tang had disguised his appearance when he went to meet Zhang He. If he had not disguised himself, he might have been able to find out the truth earlier.
After the matter is settled, he will go to his eldest brother and his nephew.
With Bentou, Gong Xiqiu felt that his life was fulfilling.
Within two days, Qiu Cheng’s body was also returned to the Qiu family.
As soon as the Qiu clan leader, Qiu Cheng's brother, received the news, his mind went blank, his expression seemed to be crying but not crying, and he kept muttering: "I never had the idea of forcing him to death, why should he? Doing this will make me get poked in the back by everyone in the world?”
His wife also had a serious look on her face.
The resentment towards Qiu Cheng in his heart deepened.
For the sake of blood and family ties, the couple were willing to repay evil with kindness. Who knew that Qiu Wenyan, who judged the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart, played a role in committing suicide with a sword.
Isn’t this putting the couple on a fire?
She gritted her teeth: "I really don't know what is good and what is good..."
Qiu Dalang frowned: "...that's all."
"What? I was framed for nothing! If I had known that he would retaliate, I would never have approved of you selling your private treasury to redeem him... Redemption Not only does it have a corpse, but it also has the reputation of "bringing brothers to death." How can you swallow it? "
Qiu Dalang patiently comforted his furious wife.
He said softly: "It's hard to swallow, it's already like this. Let's think on the bright side, we still have something to breathe..."
The patriarch's wife was still so angry that her teeth itched.
When he thought about having to face his widowed sister-in-law, his expression looked as if he had swallowed millions of flies. If she hadn't been good-tempered, she would have really wanted to ask someone to throw Qiu Wenyan's coffin out. Since they are considered villains, why bother using their corpses to disgust others?
No matter how unjust the couple was, they had to pinch their noses and brace themselves to deal with Qiu Cheng's posthumous affairs.
Mrs. Qiucheng and her children cried so hard in front of the newly-decorated mourning hall that they fainted for a time. In the eyes of the guests who came to express their condolences, there was something else. The patriarch and his wife stood aside to entertain the guests, looking awkward and embarrassed.
But I couldn't walk, I could only stand in place like a log.
The guests looked at them like needles.
Everyone thought that this was Qiu Dalang's plan to kill someone with a knife, and they were secretly shocked by his cruelty. They also lamented that the brothers from the aristocratic family had no true feelings and actually went so far as to fight to the death. Due to this commotion, except for close friends, others gradually distanced themselves from Qiu.
Other ladies of the noble clan regard the patriarch’s wife as a snake or a scorpion.
The culprit behind all this?
The social animal has entered 007 from 996.
Because there are war plans for the coming year, Shen Tang and her team have no time to spare. Household registration, land, population... which one is not a big project? I wish I could use the twelve o'clock as the twenty-four o'clock. Not to mention the young people, even Dr. Dong, a very old doctor, led a group of disciples and came all night long.
"Shen Jun wants to conduct a national physical examination in Sibao County?" Dr. Dong is one of the few people who knows the real purpose behind the physical examination. After the first experience, he will be familiar with it the second time.
“Yeah.”
Dr. Dong didn’t agree. They are too short of manpower. They have to prepare for war and rebuild. The "physical examination" can be postponed for a while. Anyway, the situation in Sibao County has stabilized. It is winter again, and the people's mobility is not much.
The people on the left and right can’t run away, so there’s no harm in waiting.
“We can’t wait.” Shen Tang’s voice was gentle but with a firmness that could not be opposed, “As for Miao Shu, do as little as possible.”
Shen Tang had never thought that all female literary scholars/valiant warriors would be loyal to her. This was unrealistic. Who you are loyal to and what path you pursue are personal choices. She hoped that even if one of them became a rival in the future, they would be able to gain the most basic respect, rather than becoming someone's forbidden pet or a dispensable plaything.
They are pearls and should shine brightly.
Gathered it is a ball of fire, scattered it is a sky full of stars.
Dr. Dong could only agree when he heard this.
But——
"Shen Jun, that manpower..."
Shen Tang threw Luan Xin over.
After all, he is Qiu Cheng’s number one counselor, the all-powerful one.
Luan Xin said: "But over there with the cotton..."
Shen Tang: "There is Lingde checking over there."
Even if Sibao County is short of water, it will still have the water needed to grow a few acres of cotton, so there is no need for Luan Xin to use artificial rainfall for the time being. In other words, Luan Xin could take care of the government affairs of Hucao's office and also do the work of Dr. Dong.
Looking at the lord who took it for granted, Luan Xin suppressed his emotions and said tactfully: "The affairs are trivial, I'm afraid I can't take care of them all." Has the lord ever calculated his workload? ? ?
Shen Tang Huabing: "Justice, I believe you can do it!"
Luan Xin: "???"
If I didn't have good self-cultivation, I really want to ask " It’s okay”!
_(:з ∠)_
As long as they are under Tang Mei, no literary scholar can escape the squeeze...
After all, a literary scholar who can work is a good employee.
