Chapter 709 Chapter 709: Chicken and Duck Talk [Two in One]
Ning Yan looked at the branch against her throat, sheathed her sword: "I lost, my lord is good at swordsmanship, Yan is not as good as him .”
Shen Tang showed a little pride.
Using tree branches to show off her skills, she performed a complicated sword flower and said: "Skills have specializations, and swordsmanship is not Tunan's specialty after all."
Ning Yan shook her head with a smile, smiling slightly. Somewhat bitter.
She said helplessly: "My lord, what you said is wrong."
Her swordsmanship has always been very good, and it is still one of her specialties.
Shen Tang asked back: "What's wrong?"
"There are specializations in martial arts. The Six Arts of a Gentleman, I once specialized in swordsmanship. However, it is true that I haven't taken it seriously for many years. It's easy to let it go. "It's not easy to pick it up again." Yan lowered his eyes and stroked his sword, his eyes filled with deep love, as if he was gazing at his lover who had been separated for many years, and even his fingertips were full of tenderness, "I am cramming at the moment, I don't know..."
Shen Tang really doesn’t know about this.
In fact, if you ask Xu Jie, he might tell Shen Tang that Ning Yan's swordsmanship was really amazing when she was young. There are so many students in the academy, but few are better than her in swordsmanship. Advantages. However, as she grew older, Ning Yan gradually accepted that she was destined to be an ordinary person as a daughter, and she subconsciously gave up on herself.
The sword she regarded as a treasure was shelved on the shelf.
Occasionally I would practice moves with Yanan if I was interested, but not often. She abandoned her swordsmanship, and her swordsmanship talent also abandoned her. After Ning Yan gathered her Wenxin, she picked it up again, but she could never regain the flash of inspiration and the heartiness of the past...
Her swordsmanship followed the orthodox path, but now it is only at a satisfactory level, with no trace of it. It was ethereal and stunning back then.
"Is it temporary?" Shen Tang keenly noticed Ning Yan's wording, "But Tunan is a literary scholar, and most literary scholars sit in the rear. It seems that Wuhui and the others are heretics. Since it is If you put it down, why force yourself to pick it up?”
Shen Tang's ideas are different from Ning Yan's.
No matter what thing or person it is, since it has passed and been let go, there is no point in regretting or making up for it. Of course, she didn't want to discourage Ning Yan from giving up. I just want to tell her in a subtle way not to get stuck in the past, her future is ahead!
Ning Yan was able to pull out half of the sword in one stroke.
The snow-white sword body reflected an indifferent face.
She said: "Because I want to kill someone."
Shen Tang knew who it was at a guess: "Zheng Qiao?"
Ning Yan: "I want to avenge the murder of my husband with my own hands!"
Zheng Qiao killed more than her. Beloved husband, respected father to her daughter, and her lifelong confidant and fellow believer.
"If I can't kill Zheng Qiao with my own hands, I feel that I will never be able to break through my own inner demons." Ning Yan clenched the hilt of the sword, her knuckles turning white from the force, and her eyes filled with murderous intent, " I will kill the people Xingning has not killed and clean up the family. I have not dared to mention Xingning in these years, because when I think of him, I will think of him in the end..."
< br>Unexpectedly, not even a whole corpse could be left behind.
Ning Yan knows Yanan best, and with his gentle temperament, she definitely wants to give Zheng Qiao a complete corpse, but Zheng Qiao is different: "I can't even pick up a piece of his body..."
" Teach me how not to hate Zheng Qiao..."
I have been suppressing my emotions before, filling my time with official affairs and trivial matters in the academy, raising my daughter and educating my apprentices. However, emotions cannot disappear by ignoring them. It silently accumulated and gathered without Ning Yan knowing it, and now it has grown into a bloated and weird monster.
After Ning Yan followed Shen Tang and set foot on Chaoli Pass, one step closer to the place where Yanan died and the location of his enemy, the monster finally couldn't hold back and sprang out. With a powerful posture that Ning Yan could not ignore, the arrogance occupied her entire mind.
Shen Tang quietly listened to Ning Yan vent her emotions.
When the other party's mood dropped from the high point, she asked Ning Yan with some distress: "Tu Nan, must you kill Zheng Qiao with your own hands?"
Ning Yan lowered her eyes: "Yes!"
Shen Tang said distressedly: "But——"
Ning Yan: "But?"
Shen Tang nodded: "Yes, but I have reserved Zheng Qiao's head for Xianden. He only needs Zheng Qiao's head to complete the way of being a scribe... But You have the revenge of killing your husband again..."
The palms and backs of my hands are all fleshy.
Not allowing Jiang Sheng to perfect the way of being a scribe?
Still not letting Ning Yan avenge her husband’s murder?
As the lord, she felt a rare dilemma.
Ning Yan knew Jiang Sheng’s way as a scribe, but she didn’t know the perfect channel for his way as a scribe. At first glance, she was speechless.
Shen Tang sighed: "In this situation, as the lord, I can't favor anyone. Alas, you can grab it yourself."
Ning Yan actually burst out laughing when she heard this.
Sweeping away the gloom on his brow: "Lord, are you so confident?"
If the guard general of Chaoli Pass is not Chu Yao's old acquaintance Wei Shou, with the military strength and natural danger of Chaoli Pass, I would like to It's almost impossible to get it at today's price. If you can win, it will be a miserable victory. Killing in front of Zheng Qiao is even more unknown...
Put it in the lord's mouth and take Zheng Qiao's head like a bag.
Shen Tang pointed at the moon with a branch: "Because there is nothing in this world that I can't pick except the stars, moon, and sun. What's more, that's just Zheng Qiao's head."
Ning Yan sighed. : "I envy my lord very much."
I envy her for being so confident in any situation and facing anyone. This uniqueness is something Ning Yan lacks. Because of the overall environment, she had talents that were as good as Yan'an's, but after she was a teenager, her passion and dreams were hit by reality, which blunted her edges and left her with a hidden inferiority complex and lack of confidence in her heart.
She once began to doubt, question her abilities and talents, and even disliked her gender. She didn't know why women couldn't practice cultivation. Maybe it was because God loved men? Since this body cannot be changed in this life, let her be reborn as a man in the next life. Even in troubled times, at least she can protect herself, show off her talents, and have a broader world for her to fly high.
When she knew the truth, she finally reconciled with herself.
Ning Yan looked at Shen Tang, who was covered in moonlight gauze, with soft eyes, and said: "If there is a chance to capture Zheng Qiao, I only want Zheng Qiao's half life, and the remaining half life will be fulfilled first."
< br>Shen Tang immediately clapped his hands: "Tunan is awesome!"
Ning Yan didn't answer, but just pulled out her sword.
Shen Tang understood what she meant at a glance.
Ning Yan is willing to give up half of Zheng Qiao's life, but the lord wants to practice moves with her and help her sharpen the sword in her hand!
The next day, Shen Tang covered his waist and yawned.
Looking at her sleepy look, people who didn't know better thought she was fooling around somewhere, such as Shaochong. He went to Shen Tang on time for three meals in the past few days, which made Gu Ren and his sixth brother very confused. Are these big cakes poisoned? Shaochong can't live without them?
"Shen Jun, here I come again!"
He started waving his arms all the way away.
As I ran closer, I noticed something strange about Shen Tang, and his expression suddenly became mysterious: "Where did Mr. Shen go to find happiness yesterday?"
Big eyes express greater curiosity.
Shen Tang yawned: "On the mountain."
As he spoke, he rubbed his sore waist.
Shaochong was startled: "Mountain, mountain? Can the sky cover the ground?"
Shen Tang didn't hear clearly. She was really sleepy, so she responded casually: " Yes, what’s wrong? Is it possible that I still carry a quilt?”
Shaochong blinked, feeling that it made sense for some reason.
"B-but... aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Shen Tang said: "It's okay, you won't get cold if you sweat."
The tent has been prepared. A meal for two. There are two large rice pails for each person. Corn porridge, meat buns and white steamed buns are as big as an adult man's fist, neatly stacked in two large basins. Shen Tang sat down, feeling the pain, gasping for air, frowning and rubbing his waist...
Shaochong, whose IQ is no longer that of a child: "..."
Shen Tang took a bite and found that the familiar sucking sound was gone. Shaochong, this kid, is a little strange today. Before, he was the reincarnation of a starving ghost. , the way he ate seemed as if someone was robbing him. He actually changed his gender today, and the flatbread, buns, steamed buns and corn porridge have lost the temptation for him? Adhering to the principle of shameful waste, Shen Tang muttered in his heart and turned around to eat what he didn't eat.
Shaochong’s face is colorfully black.
The left eye says "shock" and the right eye says "shock".
Such a majestic and domineering Lord Shen, is he actually the one below? You must know that there is no woman in a ten-mile radius, and the person who is having a tryst with Shen Jun in the mountains at night, covering the sky and the earth, will most likely not be a woman. In other words, he was still a man.
So, so——
Shaochong felt that his three views had been impacted.
It doesn’t taste like eating today.
While my soul is flying into the sky, I am mechanically cooking.
Gu Chi, who was outside the tent, was suppressing laughter so much that his muscles were sore and numb. When Shaochong's three views were shattered and reshaped, he ordered people to pass on the news.
Shen Tang said: "Just watch the tide come in."
Gu Chi rubbed his cheeks and relaxed his breathing before entering the account.
"Lord, this is the account book of this meritorious service." Gu Chi handed the slip up with both hands. When Shen Tang put down his chopsticks to take a closer look, his eyes slipped past the man who was immersed in eating, with only the back of his head left. Shaochong smiled and said, "Master, does it seem to be unwell?"
Shen Tang said with a sad face: "It's twisted to the waist."
Gu Chi asked again: "When did it happen?"
Shen Tang said with a gloomy look: "Don't mention it, it's embarrassing to say it. I practiced sword fighting with Tunan last night. Everything was fine at the beginning. I don't know what happened. It was still a flat field, but suddenly it was like sprain, twist Up to the waist. "
Come on, she is a capable fifteenth-level junior high-ranking woman. She is one of the top combatants in the coalition, but she can fall flat on her face and twist her waist. It's outrageous. It's not scientific.
Gu Chi said uncertainly: "Maybe we should ask Ji Shou?"
Shen Tang fell into silence for three seconds.
“…I am truly blessed to be alive.”
Kang Jishou, the god of plague! ! !
The account book in hand did not show her face, and her mood became even worse.
Why?
It wasn’t that the members of the Alliance Army were causing trouble and stealing her loot. With Gu Chi watching the whole process, there was no way she would be short of a penny. She was in a bad mood purely because of Xun Zhen's loan repayment bill.
“…I am poor and unlucky, and I have never been this miserable in all my tribulations.”
Gu Chi smiled and reassured: "It will always work out."
Shen Tang: "Haha."
She didn't even believe in punctuation.
After dividing the spoils, the Alliance Army began to hold a meeting again. Alliance leader Huang Lie made a speech as a representative, summarizing the gains and losses of the battle at Chaoliguan, describing a blueprint for the future without the violent lord, and giving everyone a boost before getting down to business and discussing countermeasures.
The troops were divided into three groups and captured half of the counties in Yanzhou.
Huang Lie learned from previous lessons and was extremely cautious in the distribution-these counties were good and bad, and the difficulty was high and low, so it took some effort to allocate troops. Shen Tang doesn't care about this. It's impossible for places like Yanzhou to become her territory after conquering them. It is one thing that the enclave is difficult to manage, and it is also easy to make a wedding dress for others, so it is better to exchange for substantial benefits.
In this meeting, Shen Tang remained silent throughout the entire meeting.
Until I heard Huang Lie’s arrangement.
She, Zhang He, Qian Yong, Tao Yan, all the forces from all directions. The reason is also ready. They cooperated during the attack on Chaoli Pass and have developed a tacit understanding. It will be troublesome to form a team again.
Shen Tang looked embarrassed: "Isn't this not good?"
Huang Lie was easy to talk to: "What do you think, Mr. Shen?"
Shen Tang shook his head: "No, let's leave it at that."
Huang Lie has some hobby of cultivating gu.
However, it is not certain who is the nourishment and who is the King of Gu.
Tao Yan didn't have any objections for some reason, but Shao Chong, who was beside Gu Ren, had objections and argued with Huang Lie: "In terms of tacit understanding, my eldest brother and Shen Jun obviously have a better understanding."< br>
He didn't want to leave Shen Jun's cook.
Huang Lie squeezed out an unfriendly smile and explained patiently: "This arrangement is naturally to balance the strength of each group. If the Major General and Shen Jun are assigned to one group, it will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the strength of the other group. It’s easy to be attacked by the violent master.”
Gu Ren tugged on Shaochong’s sleeve.
He reluctantly accepted the arrangement.
When the meeting was over, Gu Ren and Shen Tang left together, worried: "Shen Jun, please be careful along the way and take care of yourself."
Shen Tang asked: "What's the explanation?"
Gu Ren said bluntly: "Tao Shenyu has always been at odds with you, Qian Shuhe has suffered losses at your hands, and as for Zhang Yongqing... I'm not afraid Shen Jun joked that Gu never saw through him. "
Because of his character and behavior, he rarely has friends he can't make. After getting along with him, he can always confide in others and turn them into younger brothers. . You have your own way of dealing with people. Zhang Yongqing is different from everyone he has come into contact with...
Wenxin scholars' intuition has always been sharp.
He doesn’t like Zhang Yongqing.
I always feel like something bad is brewing here.
Remind Shen Tang that it’s never wrong to be more thoughtful.
Even if you are a villain in vain, it is better than a big mistake.
Shen Tang thanked him: "Thank you, I will pay attention to it."
She had not figured out Zhang He's position yet, but Huang Lie's arrangements for Tao Yan were exactly what she wanted. As a lord, her palms and backs are full of flesh. How could she miss Gu Chi when she avenges Luan Xin? She won't take the initiative to attack her allies, but if they break the rules first, she doesn't mind giving them a bloody lesson!
When she returned to the camp, there was a gift bag waiting for her.
“Yuanmou?”
Shen Tang saw Yun Ce again, whom he had not seen for several days.
The other party actually has a baggage on his shoulders.
Is this posture preparing to change jobs?
No, Yun Ce is Huang Lie's main rider after all. He's not very useful, but he's indispensable. He's so talented, why would he change jobs if he has nothing to do? Facts have proved that Yun Ce really didn't change jobs, but he did come here to find Shen Tang.
After Yun Ce finished speaking, Shen Tang knew the whole story.
"Council Leader Huang sent you here to help me?"
Yun Ce nodded sincerely: "Yes."
_(:з ∠)_
Ah ah ah ah, I really can’t buy any more keyboards, the keyboard shelf is not big enough...
