Chapter 1091 Chapter 1091: Flying to Hengguo [Please vote]
Facts have proved that even a two-hundred-year-old skeleton will become angry if someone steps on his foot. Shen Tang's words hit Weicheng's scars hard. He turned his head sharply, and the flames in his eyes burst out in a straight line, filling him with anger.
Shen Tang smiled awkwardly: "Did I guess wrong?"
Wei Cheng: "..."
Did not speak, but the two clusters of flames in his eyes were full of brightness. .
Just when Shen Tang was secretly on guard, preparing for Wei Cheng's sudden killing move, he said in a solemn tone: "You guessed it."
Shen Tang: "...6."
If you guessed it right, you guessed it right. Why are you doing this?
Wei Cheng didn't know the meaning of "6", but he expected that Shen Youli couldn't spit out ivory, so he was probably mocking himself: "Don't think that I am showing goodwill to you by not taking action. I and There is no conflict between uncle turning against you and taking your life. It's deep from the ground. If it collapses accidentally, no matter how talented you are, you won't be able to escape. Do you understand? "
Wei Cheng is a skeleton and does not need to breathe. Shen Tang and Gong Xiqiu are living people. , The demand for air by brave warriors is much greater than that of ordinary people. If you were really trapped in such a deep underground, you would be suffocated to death.
Shen Tang pointed to his nose.
Said: "To be honest, I am a scholar of both civil and martial arts."
With such a thickness, a brave warrior cannot penetrate it before the oxygen is exhausted, but she is also a literary scholar, absolutely He can cast a word spirit similar to [Transfer Flowers and Trees] before he burps. Before she and Gong Xiqiu came down, they had already made a mark.
Wei Cheng’s palms closed and opened again.
Finally, he managed to hold back his anger: "Humph!"
Shen Tang was shocked.
Her behavior just now also had a testing purpose.
Weicheng is tolerant in every possible way, and things may not be simple.
Gong Xiqiu secretly touched Shen Tang's fish scale wristband with his fingers, not to persuade Shen Tang to be patient, but to give her a secret signal. If you really want to take action, do it together, don't suffer any loss.
Shen Tang gave him a calm look.
This temporarily dug secret passage was really dark. Shen Tang had good night vision, but it was still incomparable to someone like Gong Xiqiu, who took advantage of the martial arts totem and ignored the darkness. Simply, the two caves in Weicheng had their own fire, which provided Shen Tang with great convenience.
Wei Cheng led the way, and the three of them went further and further down.
Shen Tang felt something was wrong, so he approached Gong Xiqiu and said, "Gong Xiqiu, don't you think there is a problem in this place? Neither of us feels the discomfort of insufficient air supply here."< br>
This question was quickly answered.
There is an underground city built by the Gods Association underground.
Only a pile of ruins remained in the magnificent city, and only the ventilation system built by the sophisticated spirit spirit was still functioning. Shen Tang jumped out of the hole behind Wei Cheng and Gong Xiqiu, and his vision suddenly became clearer. Not far away, Jimo Qiu, who looked slightly embarrassed, had been waiting for a long time.
Gong Xiqiu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Seeing that he had not changed much before he left, he felt relieved. He wanted to give his eldest brother a hug for the rest of his life, but to his surprise, the eldest brother walked right past him and stepped forward to salute Mama. Gong Xiqiu was discouraged and put down his hand.
He said angrily: "You are losing money and paying for it."
Fortunately, he used to ridicule Xun Ding for adding another person, but he didn't expect that the biggest advantage was not Xun Yong'an, but his own brother. . The eldest brother couldn't see himself when he saw Mama, which really chilled the snake.
Gong Xiqiu was angry, but he still moved forward honestly.
Wei Cheng was thoughtful on one side.
The Gongxi clan is not as united as he thought.
"Jimo High Priest, you have worked hard on this trip."
"It's not hard, but fortunately you have fulfilled your destiny." The face similar to Gong Xiqiu's smile broke out, and the corners of his eyes were crooked and huge. It neutralizes the cold and unruly temperament inherent in the facial features, making him look very well-behaved and friendly. Jimo Qiu knew who Shen Tang wanted to see most at the moment, so he didn't exchange much greetings. He gently explained the twists and turns he had experienced not long ago, "Wei Lou has been trapped. Your Highness is going to see him now?"
"Wei Lou ?”
This is an unfamiliar name.
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment before he realized that Wei Lou should be the secular name of the master of the Eternal Life Sect: "Of course I want to meet him."
If it weren't for not knowing what Wei Cheng would do by turning against him. To a certain extent, I would rather let Wei Lou meet King Yama than meet him. As an enemy, there is really nothing to talk about with Wei Lou.
The ruins in the city, on the side of the dead tree.
When I came here, I didn’t see Wei Lou himself. I only saw a collapsed tree that even three or five big men couldn’t hug.
Countless broken tree roots are exposed.
Obviously, this tree has been dead for a while.
"Where are the people?"
"Up above."
Shen Tang looked up as Jimo Qiu pointed.
Above this dead tree, hundreds of tree roots intertwined into a huge ball, which at first glance seemed to be the crown of the tree. Previously, due to the angle of view, Shen Tang did not see it immediately. Jimo Qiu said from one side: "Wei Lou has some tricks that are really hard to catch, so he boldly used this incarnation to trap him here. He can't break free."
Shen Tang didn't pay attention to the meaning in Jimo Qiu's words. The details and attention are all on the ball of roots. There is indeed a breath of life inside. Wei Lou obviously heard their conversation.
Jimo Qiu raised his wooden stick and waved it towards the prison cage.
The tree roots pulled apart to both sides.
Revealing the white-haired scribe sitting inside.
Except for his slightly disheveled appearance, Wei Lou had no visible injuries, and he didn't have any overreaction when he saw Shen Tang. He just glanced away lightly. Shen Tang felt a little regretful. If Wei Lou was seriously injured and died later, how much trouble would it have saved her.
At this time, Wei Cheng, who had always been quiet, suddenly spoke.
"Uncle, you have also seen the person, can you tell me?" As a skeleton, Wei Cheng will not be tired, but his tone at this moment is full of fatigue, "I just thought about it for a long time, a hundred years ago, Even earlier, I have thought about it one by one. I really can’t imagine why you changed your mind, uncle. You clearly knew that we would have been one step away!”
Once you’ve seen it, you won’t regret it.
But he has been so close to the top!
The more this happens, the more unwilling and angry he becomes.
For more than a hundred years after the fall of the Wu Kingdom, whenever he had time, he would think about who had betrayed his lord and the Wu Kingdom, causing them to fall short of their achievements and regretfully stop before they could unify the world! He had doubted many people, even himself, but not his uncle!
The blow brought by this truth is greater and more intense than when he was seriously injured and begged his uncle for death, when he woke up he saw his body being cooked in a pot, or even when his city was destroyed and his family was destroyed! He wanted to crush the opponent's neck, throw it into a stone mortar, smash it into minced meat and feed it to the dogs!
In the end, reason defeated emotion.
Wei Cheng only wants the truth.
Shen Tang was surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that it was Wei Lou who wanted to see her. Just when she was about to speak, Wei Lou sneered and asked quietly: "Only one step away? Do you really think that's the one step away?"
Shen Tang took back his stepped foot.
It is not uncommon for uncles and nephews who are over two hundred years old to quarrel.
Wei Cheng was very sure, clenching his palms tightly to restrain his boiling anger: "It's just one step away! Wei Lou, that's just one step away from dominating the world! Lord, you and I, together with Yunda and these people, are neither humans nor ghosts. Living, who wouldn’t sacrifice everything for this step?”
The master who refines the Gu insect doesn’t know its disadvantages?
Do soldiers who take poisonous insects know its disadvantages?
The civil and military colleagues who are under the pressure of running out of food and finally have to feed on the corpses of the enemy and even their own dead soldiers because of the food shortage, do they not know these disadvantages? No one is a brainless idiot! Just to stop fighting with fighting and killing with killing!
If this move can end the most disgusting sufferings of troubled times, unify the world, and prevent future generations from repeating the same mistakes, it will be worth it!
The result - the last step before climbing to the top was taken away by his own people, he missed the step and fell to pieces, and the Wu Kingdom was destroyed overnight.
How could he accept this?
If Wei Cheng were still flesh and blood, his blood would definitely rush into his brain.
Faced with Wei Cheng's accusations and accusations, Wei Lou's reaction was to chuckle. He glanced at Shen Tang: "Does Lord Shen think so too? Back then, the Wu Kingdom was just this short of unifying the world?"
The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond.
I didn’t expect that the conflict between the uncle and nephew could involve me.
Shen Tang looked at Wei Cheng's uncle and nephew's scorching eyes and said quietly: "I am not from that era, and I don't know what you have gone through. Based on my personal opinion and several years of experience as a country leader, I think it is still far away. Wu Guo's evil is caused by Overdrafting the population in exchange for strong combat power can certainly defeat powerful enemies in a short period of time, but what happens after victory? The most important thing is to stabilize the country, provide food and clothing for the people, and live and work in peace and contentment. "
She feels that Wu Guo has taken too big a step. .
Only promotion, no domestic construction.
"... Assuming that Wu State really unified the world, how many people would there be in Wu State? Thirty million? Or fifty million? With so many people, the amount of food consumed in a day is an astronomical number. It will take several months for the grain to be harvested. Before the turmoil subsides and the new crops are harvested, do you and your country have a countermeasure? Do you have several months of grain storage to hedge the risks? "
Shen Tang's voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard.
She has no dislike or dislike for the Wu Kingdom, which has been destroyed for more than a hundred years.
However, there are still a group of old antiques thinking about this country after it has been destroyed for a hundred years. I think it did have an impressive charm back then.
Shen Tang can only use his own experience to evaluate objectively.
"With such a large border, how long does it take to communicate from east to west, north to south? Can the Royal Court's decrees be issued to all places in time? How well does the Royal Court control local forces? By conquering the entire territory by force, the Kingdom of Wu is nominally unified. But if you can't control the local area, you will actually be divided and divided into warlords. There is no difference in politics. The powerful local gentry can still do whatever they want, and the people's lives are still in dire straits. As long as ordinary people don't have enough to wear, and they don't have enough land to farm, they will eventually be forced to go to a dead end..."
From Shen Tang's point of view, it is still early for the Wu Kingdom to be unified.
Territorial reunification is only the first step in a long journey of thousands of miles.
He published a long speech, which made Shen Tang a little thirsty.
Uncle and nephew Weicheng never interrupted.
After a while, Wei Cheng calmed down, and the fire in his eyes finally stopped being so fierce: "Is this also your reason?"
His voice became much calmer.
If Wei Lou did something wrong in a moment of confusion after seeing these shortcomings, Wei Cheng can be considered as having a reason for it. These issues raised by Shen Tang were indeed ignored by them, and that's not to say they were ignored. It was just that they were too enthusiastic at the time to think about them seriously.
As long as the unification can be completed, the rest will be solved slowly.
Wei Lou’s response was a few breaths away.
He said: "No."
Wei Cheng was stunned: "Why is that?"
"Because of her."
"She? Who?"
Asked, Wei Cheng realized that his uncle's eyes were on Shen Tang. Shen Tang, who had become the center of attention inexplicably, was also confused, and said funnyly: "I was not there more than a hundred years ago, how can it be related to me?"
If you wake up more than a hundred years ago, it will be a really exciting life.
Nowhere is it like now, every step of the way leads to a pit.
There are still a bunch of debuffs hanging on both legs.
Wei Lou chuckled.
“Furthermore, when did I betray the First Master?”
When Shen Tang and the others heard this, their hearts trembled.
Close to each other without leaving a trace, so that they can join forces to cope with the changes. They are not afraid of anything else, but they are afraid that this farce of uncle and nephew turning against each other is the result of the two colluding early on, just to trick Shen Tang into taking the bait.
Fortunately, their fears did not come true.
Wei Lou changed the subject with his next sentence.
"A wise minister chooses his master to serve, and a good bird chooses a tree to roost in. The loyalty between king and minister is mutual. I did not betray the former master, but the former master betrayed me. He also betrayed you and all of us. People!"
The reason why Wei Lou chose to backstab has nothing to do with what Shen Tang said. The entire Wu Kingdom is a group of fanatics who only have the word "unification" in their minds and are too lazy to think about anything else. .
Wei Cheng was completely confused.
He said angrily: "When will your lord betray us?"
Wei Lou smiled scornfully at Shen Tang again: "How to betray us? It's time to ask Lord Shen - I and a group of people fight for their own moral rights. , for the sake of the monarch and his subjects He is willing to go through life and death, but ends up making a wedding dress for others."
What happened? Dump it on her?
With her body, can she bear such a big responsibility?
Shen Tang jumped back and said, "No, if you have something to say, please say it carefully. Don't just blame it. What do you mean by working so hard to make me a wedding dress?"
Most of the losses suffered so far were caused by the old troops of the Wu Kingdom. of.
Returning the wedding dress?
Really alarmist!
Wei Cheng also said: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Jimo Qiu and Gong Xiqiu who were present heard some of the truth. Jimo Qiu reminded Shen Tang in a low voice: "The leader of the Wu Kingdom was once a candidate for high priest, and his education was mainly based on His Highness, and he was proud to serve His Highness... Maybe it’s because of this?”
Shen Tang: "..."
Wei Lou sneered: "Yes, how ridiculous!"
The original intention of conquering the world is for morality and ideals. After the success, it is natural It is they who enjoy the fruits of victory together. He is loyal to the lord of the country and is as loyal as anyone. He also hopes that this "fruit" can be passed down from generation to generation in the hands of the lord's heirs.
What’s the result?
As a result, the country mainly surrendered to others.
Give it to the so-called evil god.
What does this make the mortals who are fighting around him think? Mortals think they are loyal to Mingjun, but it turns out that Mingjun is someone else's dog? Is a bullshit evil god also qualified to share the fruits of their harvest? Are you qualified to get involved in their interests? Bullshit!
“What I need is the leader of the country.”
“Not someone’s vassal believer.”
"The Kingdom of Wu is not his sacrifice to the evil god."
"His original intention of conquering the world is really for this world, is it really because he shares the same goals with us? I am very suspicious. He is a traitor! He is a liar who tells lies. ! He’s a sanctimonious traitor! He’s the only one who won’t surrender to me!”
Wei Lou roared hoarsely in anger.
“He is a liar!”
“He and I have never been of the same mind!”
_(:3 ∠)_
The character Wei Lou was originally designed as the "incarnation" of Yuan Liang and others (but I feel that the shaping is still a bit lacking), and he was gathered together because of his ideals. When ideals are shattered, it is madness.
Speaking of which, Tang Mei’s accounts are all of the same style (_`)
