"Find those who are in conflict with each other, and look for things that are mutually supportive." The white-eyed girl kept facing Shen Tang, with convincing power in her voice. She said earnestly, "The common people know that they cannot win the trust of the king, but the matter is very important. Please be careful, Lord.”
The white-eyed girl’s grandfather couldn’t help but interject.
"The king had better believe in her."
This disciple of mine does have some evil ways.
Shen Tang continued to ask: "Where are the people who are in conflict with each other? Where are the things that are in harmony with each other? Since you can say this, it is not without purpose. After all, the price of fooling the leader of a country is not yours. If you can afford it, be careful not to be cheated.”
The white-eyed girl was not frightened by her words.
There was no murderous intention in Shen Tang's words, and there was a faint smile, like the sister next door teasing a naughty boy. The girl with white eyes said: "The common people are still very shallow and can't see much, but you can be sure that there are at least two people who can harm each other, and the things that are mutually beneficial are already close to you."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Tang fell into silence.
It’s not because the white-eyed girl is talking nonsense, but what she said is actually somewhat correct. The way of scribes like Qi Yuanliang is not a secret internally, but it is a secret among secrets externally. It is impossible for these grandsons to know that Shen Tang has been controlled by them all these years? Especially Xun Zhen, who tried to control her fortune, but couldn't do anything to repay her debt.
The debt is not Xun Zhen’s fault.
It's her fault, she's too poor and weak.
People who are in conflict with each other can barely match up with these scammers like Xun Zhenkang, but what is this mutually reinforcing thing? Shen Tang went straight to the point and asked the other party: "How to find the mutually reciprocal thing? Is there a way?"
The white-eyed girl shook her head: "I can't."
"Then what's the difference between saying it and not saying it? ?”
“Why don’t you ask the people who are hindering you? These people can be found!” The white-eyed girl pursed her lips tightly, but she was a little worried. The development was different from her prediction. .
"The five virtues are always there, week after week. Everything in the world is divided into yin and yang, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. The person who suppresses me may not be the person who pushed me to the top. It depends on how the king uses people. Don't mention this matter again." Shen Tang interrupted and replied. The white-eyed girl wanted to say something. The grandfather next to the girl was already sweating profusely after hearing this. He lay on the ground shivering and pulled the girl's sleeves from time to time.
He has traveled extensively over the years and has seen a lot.
Although she has never dealt with high-ranking officials, she still knows how to read people's hearts. The implication of Shen Tang's words is that she knows who the so-called "conflicts" are, and they are probably her confidants. Lord Shen doesn't care about his apprentice's recklessness, so will his confidants?
It’s really killing me.
Originally I just wanted to be a small official, but now it’s over.
The white-eyed girl opened her mouth: "But..."
How could someone ignore someone who knew there was someone trying to defeat them? This king clearly has the aura of an emperor, and his aura is the strongest she has ever seen. Shouldn't he cherish his life more? If we were defeated by these villains halfway, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
However, Shen Tang has forcibly changed the topic.
"From the tone of your grandson's words, don't you sound like a person from Kangguo?"
"She is a grassroots apprentice and a person from Luguo in the southwest." Worried that the apprentice would say the wrong thing again, the older one took the initiative to answer Over topic.
Shen Tang thought for a moment about where the Lu State was, and asked his doubts: "If I remember correctly, the situation in the Lu State has been pretty good these years. Why did you masters and disciples take the risk and run to Kang State?"
To I know that the current world is very unstable and transportation is inconvenient. As long as the common people are not forced to survive and have something to eat, they will not leave their homeland easily. Because on the way to escape, you will encounter bandits and face ferocious beasts and poisonous insects.
Without a stable supply of food and water...
The chance of survival is slim when escaping.
The man still wanted to find an excuse to excuse himself, but unexpectedly, the disciple next to him opened his mouth and told the truth: "Because of the Eternal Life Cult."
The white-eyed girl said again: "The Eternal Life Cult excludes dissenters."
"The Eternal Life Cult?"
The white-eyed girl nodded: "Yes."
Their master and disciple left. He was also forced into helplessness in other places.
Seeing this, the man also broke the jar and said: "To be honest, this disciple of Cao Min was born with different eyes and five teeth. He can see yin and yang and can judge good and bad luck. Her mother dreamed of her the day before she was born. Two ghosts, one black and one white, passed through the house. He didn’t understand human language until he was six years old..."
Overall, the background story of the girl with white eyes is quite interesting.
He was born with a pair of white pupils and five teeth in his mouth. He could not speak until he was six years old. Her parents were scared and decided to sell her, but the man, who made a living as an acrobat, unexpectedly bought her. On the day when the man took the white-eyed girl away, she suddenly spoke, pointing at her father and saying that he would be cut in half and die in three days.
Three days later, while the man was climbing the cliff to collect herbs, the hemp rope broke. He fell off the cliff and was struck by an axe-shaped stone in the middle of his waist.
After that, the news spread.
The man simply stopped doing acrobatics. His acrobatics themselves were just tricks of pretending to be magical and deceiving, and he focused on leading the girl to tell fortunes. Others want to pay for the fortune teller.
They should have lived a prosperous life, but they were unlucky. In the Southwest Continent, everyone from dignitaries to common people worshiped the Eternal Life Sect, and all other sects were cultists. I used to be able to turn a blind eye, but the past two years have been like crazy.
If you catch a cultist, you will be put in jail.
It becomes increasingly difficult for the master and apprentice to survive and they have to hide in Tibet.
Finally, he was cruel and simply left the country of Lu.
I suffered a lot along the way.
The white-eyed girl planned to cheat and find someone with the aura of an emperor. If she could gain the other person's trust, it would be best, and she would enjoy endless glory and wealth. If not, their master and apprentice could also make a living under the other person. With good skills, you won’t have to worry about no one coming to your door.
I just didn’t expect that the king would not act according to common sense.
She doesn't care about the people around her.
Shen Tang listened briefly and said: "I see, but I have a question, how did you know that your father would die from being cut in half?"
In this world where literary minds, bravery and Yan Ling are in power, In this world, the white-eyed girl's ability and experience are not out of the ordinary, and Jiang Sheng's scribe's way can also be used as a magic stick skill. However, his skills as a scribe were also acquired accidentally after condensing his literary heart, but the white-eyed girl's abilities began to emerge when she was six years old.
This goes against common sense.
The white-eyed girl was silent for a while, and slowly revealed the truth under the horrifying eyes of her master: "My father's hemp rope used to collect medicine has long been tampered with by my mother. He often goes to collect medicine. There are rocks at the bottom of the cliff, and they will be cut in half if they fall from that height. I just said that to cover up my mother and show her favor."
She was not mute until she was six years old.
I already knew how to speak, but there was no need to speak.
Shen Tang was a little surprised by this answer. She didn’t ask why the white-eyed girl didn’t remind her biological father or why she helped her mother cover it up: “So, your mother said she dreamed of one black and one white before giving birth to you. "Two ghosts, is it actually because you were born with teeth?"
Fabricating such lies to shirk responsibility.
After all, she gave birth to a daughter who was born with five teeth and different eyes. She tried to fool her, not to mention that the child would be killed, and the mother would be burned as a monster.
It makes sense to fabricate two ghosts into a dream.
The white-eyed girl nodded and emphasized softly: "Yes, but my prophecy is accurate. I am really not pretending to be a ghost."
She seems to be born with the ability to deceive people.
Outsiders think she is blind, but she can actually see. There is basically no risk in saying ambiguous and flattering words when telling people's fortunes. A few years ago, her fake magic stick turned into a real magic stick. She can really determine good or bad luck for people.
After the white-eyed girl said this, her master looked like he had seen a ghost, his expression changed again and again, and he could not say anything else for a long time.
Obviously, he was also kept in the dark.
Shen Tang said: "I believe this." She did not deal with the master and apprentice. Instead, she ordered people to settle them down. She said to the white-eyed girl: "In addition to judging people's life and death, you have other things. Ability? For example, look at the weather? ”
The white-eyed girl said: "I know a little bit."
Shen Tang clapped his hands: "Very good, just wait for the news."
She was not sure whether the girl's ability came from the way of the scribes or from another source. This special system, Shen Tang adheres to one principle - no matter black or white cat, any cat that can catch mice is a good cat! A girl with white eyes can determine good or bad luck, life or death, what a great talent for the Taishi Bureau?
You also have some knowledge of wind, cloud and climate, which is even better!
To a certain extent, it can be regarded as Qin Li 2.0.
I was born to eat this bowl of rice!
The white-eyed girl did not expect this ending. She was so shocked that she forgot to thank her. It was not until the teacher pressed her down on the back of her neck that she came back to thank her. Before leaving, she hesitated and said: "There is one more thing that the king should probably know..."
Shen Tang's eyes signaled the white-eyed girl to continue.
The white-eyed girl said: "Our master and apprentice came from the Kingdom of Kang on borrowed passage from the Kingdom of Gao. We met the Eternal Life Sect and worshiped them in the Kingdom of Gao."
The master and apprentice were wandering around the King of Gao. long time.
As a commoner, she naturally did not have the opportunity to meet the Lord of Gao Kingdom, so she could only judge the intensity of the dragon's aura through the gas clouds above the palace. This method had a huge error, and she was hesitant. It happened that there was a national funeral in Gao State, and Wu Xian carried the coffin to the queen's mausoleum for burial. The white-eyed girl saw Wu Xian from a distance. This person also has a faint aura of a dragon, just like the kings he has seen before.
The people around Wu Xian caught her eye the most.
There are offerings from the Eternal Life Sect inside.
She has seen this offering before.
The white-eyed girl whispered: "Be careful with this person."
Shen Tang asked: "Is this person very strong?"
The white-eyed girl shook her head: "I don't know whether he is strong or weak, but the aura around him is weird, the yin and yang are reversed, the world is reversed... In short, I must kill this person if I have the chance. Kill him to avoid endless trouble."
Shen Tang nodded and said, "I will pay attention to what you said."
The master and disciple were arranged in a small courtyard.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
The master nodded and bowed to send away the messenger who had sent them. After watching the messenger go away, he covered his neck in fear: "You are such a desperate girl. Why do you dare to say anything?"
Bai Tong Girl: "Qingyun Road is at your feet."
It's worth risking her life.
The master muttered, but didn't say much.
After taking a sip of ice cold tea, the temperature of his brain dropped a lot, and he could not sit still and said: "I always feel that Lord Shen is not easy to cheat. We have raised you for so many years, and this is the first time. She knew you were lying when you were six years old, but she saw through it at a glance! Tsk, what a smart and wise woman she is, no wonder she can become the head of the country... No, how about we run away?"
If they are caught by the other party, they are members of the Eternal Life Cult...
How can they cover up their lies later?
The Eternal Life Sect is large and bloated. Their masters and disciples joined when they couldn't defeat it, but later ran away due to some reasons.
What I just told Shen Tang...
Nine truths and one lie.
The white-eyed girl said softly: "Is there a possibility that it's not that the king is too smart, but that you, master, are too stupid?"
Man: "..."
White-eyed girl Girl: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
It doesn't matter that they didn't hide much. The most important information has been told to Lord Shen. Even if the lie is exposed in the future, it will be worth the effort. The man sighed and nodded, reluctantly put his heart back in his stomach, and managed to get a good sleep.
The second day.
Shen Tang left for the camp before dawn.
She has investigated the battles in this area in the past hundred years. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to take the initiative in the battle with Gao State and gain the initiative. It is best to set the battlefield in Gao State. within the territory. The number and strength of the heroic spirits summoned by the border barrier depend on the number of people killed on this battlefield. The more battles there are, the more people are killed, and the more obsessions there are during life, and the easier it is to be affected by the border barrier and become a heroic spirit to protect the safety of the border barrier.
There really aren’t many border battles between Gao and Kang.
Whether it is Shen Tang's attack or Wu Xian's attack, the army of heroic spirits summoned by the border barrier is not many. It is good to have three to five hundred heroic spirits to respond. Unlike the battlefield in the Northern Desert, heroic spirits appeared in tens of thousands, and if a group of them were defeated, a group of them could still emerge.
In this case, the defensive pressure is heavy.
Shen Tang was sitting in the tent waiting for others, thinking in his mind.
After a while, the tent curtain was lifted, and the light from outside fell in. Shen Tang raised his head and faced Gu Chi's slightly haggard face, and stood up suddenly: "Wangchao, why are you still so weak? ?”
Didn’t you say that you are almost done recovering from your injuries?
Shen Tang held his wrist, which was cold.
Gu Chi smiled and narrowed his eyes: "My lord, please be patient, the pool is already in great condition. It's just that the weather has turned cold recently, and my complexion looks worse..."
Shen Tang looked at him and sighed: "I don't know when your body will be healed. I remember that there are two tiger skins in the warehouse to make cloaks for you."< br>
Gu Chi’s eyes lit up and he bowed and thanked him.
Shen Tang helped him up.
With sharp eyes, he saw red marks on the collar of his neck.
“What’s wrong with your neck?”
Gu Chi's expression didn't change: "It must have been an insect bite."
There are also many poisonous insects near the camp.
Shen Tang was not suspicious: "I'll get you some insect repellent sachets later. Hang a few more in the tent. Your Qi and blood are already bad. If you let the bugs suck you a few more times, what's the point? Can you bear it?"
Gu Chi responded one by one with a smile.
Shen Tang smelled another whiff of sandalwood on the tip of his nose.
Not sure, I sniffed again.
"Shaoxuan has been here?"
Gu Chi said: "General Bai is reorganizing his troops."
Shen Tang murmured: "That's strange."
How could she smell Bai Su's usual fragrance?
This kind of incense was prepared by Chen Zhi himself. It is said that it is made from seven or eight kinds of precious wood spices and is specially made for Bai Su.
︿(￣︶￣)︿
The skills enshrined by the Immortal Sect are quite special, and this is probably the only time in the whole story that Tang Mei was forced to play support, hehe.
