Back Off, Let Me Come

"Mama, is something wrong?"

Although he was drunk, Gong Xiqiu still focused part of his attention on Zhiyin's expression. He was puzzled when he saw Shen Tang's face switching flexibly between white, cyan and black.

_(:з)∠)_

Could it be that I accidentally offended someone again?

Gong Xiqiu sipped his wine.

I was mentally preparing to draft an apology.

Don't ask why he is so proficient and has no resistance, ask: it is the passive skill that the cubs from the matriarchal clan are born with.

Because Gongxiqiu Daxiao was pretty and showed outstanding talent in singing and dancing at a young age, the clan elders concluded at a glance that he would be a prodigy with both singing and dancing in the future. Many people of the same age in the clan are vying to be his future son's mother-in-law.

Gong Xiqiu saw many disputes in this environment.

They argued together, and he apologized to calm it down.

It would be better for him to apologize than for a fight between a few people to turn into a melee with gavels, right? Gong Xiqiu often looked at himself near the water, wondering why the people in the water were so handsome.

This is already the case at such a young age, can you grow up?

When he was a little older, Gong Xiqiu knew that he thought too much. His mother-in-law and uncle deceived his son/nephew without blinking an eye. Gong Xiqiu had been practicing boy's skills since he was a child. After his cultivation reached a certain level, Before the realm, you can't get involved with women.

He still remembers his uncle's serious warning to him.

[You can’t have sex with men either. 】

Gong Xiqiu: [……]

【We are dedicated to God. 】

Gong Xiqiu knew how to hurt his heart at a young age. He asked his uncle with an innocent and ignorant face: "So my uncle was dedicated to the gods, so that's why Mama doesn't like him, right?" 】

That day, Gong Xiqiu's butt blossomed.

His cries were heard from one end of the clan to the other.

Thinking of the trivial matters in childhood, Gong Xiqiu, who was already facing separation from his close friend, became even more depressed: "Mama?"

Shen Tang was brought back to his senses by this sound.

"Huh? Haha, I'm fine. I'm just a little surprised when I suddenly come across this... fact that is different from the science I've known in the past..." Shen Tang waved his hands repeatedly and dismissed the distraction with a smile. His heart was in a state of confusion.

She felt something wasn't quite right about herself.

It was in vain that she was talking nonsense in front of Wang Chao during the day, inviting him to smell her fresh meat. Good guy, in less than half a day, she was slapped in the face at the speed of light. The vest she is currently using is perhaps, highly likely, possible... the not-so-new sacred object from the Gongxi Qiu Clan? What should we do?

She was at a loss for words.

My heart skipped a beat, and I suppressed the twitching of the corners of my mouth.

A coincidence is a coincidence, but when several coincidences are added together, it is no longer a mere coincidence.

According to the description of the dowry maid and later dancer in the dance studio, Mr. Shen of the Shen family was an owner who loved antiques and antiques. Maybe the coffin he brought back to the Shen Mansion overnight was bought from those inverters. After opening the coffin, they saw that the deceptive sacred object lying inside was somewhat similar to the missing eldest lady of the Shen family. As the wedding was approaching, they let the sacred object take her place.

Later, the "holy object" farted on the distribution road.

Shen Tang came through at this juncture.

In this way, everything is smoothed out!

Shen Tang took a breath of air.

If the science of this world is really suppressed by theology, there will not only be literary and courageous people, a sacred object that has been sleeping for two hundred years and can deceive the corpse, but also the benefactor of the Gongxi tribe who keeps saying that he will come back...

Then his face turned pale again.

So what should she do as an outsider who inadvertently took possession of the sacred vest? Will it be seen through at a glance? Will he be burned alive as a monster? Will he be slapped on the wall by the benefactor of the Gongxi tribe who was so embarrassed that he couldn't dig it off?

No, no!

Shen Tang shuddered suddenly.

He slapped the table and said, "Absolutely not!"

Gong Xiqiu was so frightened by her that he almost couldn't hold the pottery bowl steady, his eyes were blank: "Mama, what's the 'absolutely impossible' thing?"

Shen Tang laughed and laughed: "It's nothing, it's just that I was annoyed by the story where I had an idea."

Looking at Gong Xiqiu, he secretly said, "I'm sorry."

Unless Gong Xiqiu follows the clues and traces her body, she will not take the initiative to tell Gong Xiqiu that the vest she is wearing now is most likely an old man who has been buried in their clan's holy land for more than two hundred years. Zongzi.

Furthermore--

Considering that the Gongxi clan has kept their benefactor's promise for more than two hundred years, and only one person in the clan is still unwilling to give up, Urine, and Gongxi Qiu's mysterious brain circuit, it is difficult to guarantee that once Gongxi Qiu learns about his identity, The vest is a sacred object, and he won't do anything with it. Shen Tang guessed that this guy might politely invite Shen Tang to lie back in the coffin and wait with him for the reincarnation of his benefactor.

_(:з)∠)_

Since it’s all about waiting—

She'd better wait outside the coffin.

Thinking of this, Shen Tang felt extremely sad.

Seeing the table full of delicious food, I lost my appetite for chopsticks.

Seeing her sadness, Gong Xiqiu also thought that their close friends would soon part ways again. He groaned, cried, banged the bowl with chopsticks, and sang a cappella the song that he had just recently been inspired to compose. That tune can make people urinate.

Shen Tang hugged his head and sobbed.

Gong Xiqiu burst into tears while singing.

In such a large lobby, no one dared to approach the pair of snakes. Gu Chi raised his hand to recall Yu Zi and Xian Yujian, feeling embarrassed. The latter two had expressions as if they were struck by lightning.

Xian Yujian is pretty good.

After all, he doesn't know much about music theory.

But Yu Zi understands.

She bit her lower lip: "Sir, Master Lang and the others..."

Gu Chi smiled in the direction of the lobby, with a deep meaning and complexity that Yu Zi didn't understand, and said: "Ignore them. One is drunk when he drinks too much, and the other is drunk when he is not drunk. Let them do their best." Let's have a drinking session... After all, there won't be many opportunities like this in the future. One time counts as one..."

Yu Zi only felt that Mr. Gu was so gentle.

Mr. Kang is much more reasonable.

However, Mr. Kang is also very good.

Xian Yujian felt that there was something in what this gentleman said, because judging from the literary scholars he had come into contact with, there was something wrong with this group, and what they said on their lips was very different from what they thought in their hearts. The former cannot be believed, while the latter has to guess.

The young man nodded at Mr. Gu.

Gu Chi stood in the corridor, watching the young man raise his hand, condense his martial energy into a spear, and perform a vigorous dance with exquisite marksmanship. He did it three or five times before getting a little sweaty. Even a layman can tell that the young man has solid foundation and excellent martial arts skills.

But Gu Chi had no intention of admiring it.

He looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

Suddenly he remembered that day, he and Shen Tang were walking by the stream in the cold and biting night wind, chatting while walking.

It's more accurate to say they're chatting, but to test each other out.

He tested whether Shen Tang was the person he was looking for.

Shen Tang was testing whether he was someone he could use.

Later, in order to gain his trust, Shen Tang opened her mouth to reveal her biggest secret. She also said that if he listened to the secret but refused to keep his heart, then she could only keep his body.

Gu Chi naturally chose to refuse without even thinking about it.

He didn't want to separate from Shen Tang one day and be killed by the other party for this reason. This worry was not without reason.

People's hearts are inherently changeable. At this time, they can cherish each other, treat each other sincerely, and rely on each other externally and internally, but it does not mean that this will still be the case in the future. As Shen Tang keeps going down, her power will expand, and more and more people will follow her.

It is no longer limited to Gu Chi.

Someone will have a struggle.

Struggle requires unity.

Different factions are divided into different factions based on inheritance, region, interests, and relationships, and each fights for interests, positions, or morality.

The more people and factions there are, the more likely it is to cause trouble. Shen Tang will have to learn how to balance them in the future, and will also drift further and further away from some people in the process of balancing. This is inevitable.

Just like today, Shen Tang is still satisfied with riding a pig in addition to her heavy official duties, but in the future, this trivial happiness will not satisfy her. Even though he had the skills of a scribe who could read the hearts of his listeners, he could not say that he could fully control the changes in people's hearts.

Shen Tang will change, and so will the people who follow her.

The human heart is something that cannot be understood.

Come to think of it, this is the secret that the Lord was going to tell you that day, right? Gu Chi folded his hands in his sleeves and stared at the moon for an hour, while Xian Yujian thought he was watching him practice. Gritting my teeth, I dare not slack off more and more, and work hard.

The second day.

Gong Xiqiu woke up from a hangover and found that he was back on the bed in the inn room and heard the sound of water behind the screen.

He knew who the person was, so he pulled up the quilt, lay on his side and curled up, preparing to lie down for a while. Then I heard footsteps approaching.

"Parents, please cleanse your face."

It turned out to be the boy disguised as a man.

Gong Xiqiu saw that he couldn't stay in bed, and his mouth was full of anger under the quilt. The moment he lifted the quilt, his expression returned to normal - he secretly thought, this is a maid, not his subordinate officer, and she can't be angry in bed. To a weak and defenseless woman.

"Why am I back?"

"It was Mr. Shen who sent you back."

To be precise, it's drag and drop.

He also refused the help of Gongxi Qiu's official.

She could only watch as Gong Xi Qiu rushed forward, face down, and was dragged all the way back to the room by Shen Tang while lying on her back. For a moment, the subordinate officials couldn't tell whether Shen Tang was kind or intentional.

_(:з)∠)_

Tell Gong Xiqiu, he will probably roll his eyes - nonsense, Mama is kind-hearted, she must have good intentions!

as expected.

Gong Xiqiu washed his face.

The hangover smell seems to have faded a lot.

"Mama, that little girl, brought me back, it's really hard on her." Gong Xiqiu's reply left the maid speechless for a while.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether Gong Xiqiu was thanking him or mocking him.

Gong Xiqiu asked again: "Where is she?"

The maid hesitated for a while, observing Gong Xiqiu's expression.

"I went out at dawn. The people brought by Mr. Shen started to pack their bags and left the inn after noon. They have only left for a short time. Do you want to catch up?"

Unexpectedly, Gong Xiqiu was not unhappy at being left without saying goodbye by Shen Tang. He hummed the score from last night in his mouth. After he finished humming, he patted his thigh and sighed: "Oh, Mama still understands my thoughts."

Knowing that he hated separation, he held a wedding banquet and packed up his things at dawn to avoid unnecessary sadness.

Too!

Where in life do we not meet!

If we are separated today, how can we know that we will not meet again tomorrow?

As everyone knows——

Gu Chixiao asked Shen Tang: "Master, why are you in such a hurry?"

Shen Tang looked back while riding his motorcycle.

Don't worry until you are sure that there is no dust kicked up by the horses behind you.

"Don't worry, Gong Xiqiu will catch up and beat you?"

Shen Tang admitted that he was a little unhappy, so he deliberately dragged Gong Xiqiu. Who made the drunk Gong Xiqiu easy to bully? If you don't bully him now, it will be hard to tell on the battlefield in the future. She quickly negotiated a deal with the people brought by Zhang He, signed the contract in triplicate, and then took the people to grease their soles.

Gu Chi couldn't help laughing.

However, his smile froze when he heard Shen Tang also start humming the score that Gong Xiqiu improvised last night.

Try to find other topics to talk about.

"Lord."

"What?"

"I felt a little emotional for a moment."

Monk Shen Tang Zhang Er was confused: "Sentiment?"

She thought Gu Chi was insulated from this word.

He asked along the way: "What are you feeling?"

Gu Chi smiled and said: "Of course I feel that we have been used as a grindstone again. There was Wu Zhaode before me, and Zhang Yongqing behind..."

"Where did this come from?"

"The few people Zhang Yongqing brought today are all members of prominent families in Lingzhou. The plague in the early years helped Zhang Yongqing gain a foothold in Lingzhou, and later he took down Yiru without any effort, which somewhat annoyed the local prominent families. . But due to Zhang Yongqing’s high reputation and his cunning and cautious nature, he could not kill him by any means. Instead, he took the opportunity to cultivate a lot of power..."

Shen Tang: "Are they hostile?"

Gu Chi smiled: "The relationship between people sitting in this kind of seat can never be described as 'friendly' or 'hostile'. They are wary of each other and kill each other, and they also cooperate and depend on each other for development. It depends. What is needed at the moment. In the eyes of outsiders, exchanging spiritual wine for medicinal materials is a sure-profit deal. We have made so much profit, but Zhang Yongqing doesn’t even take a bite of the cake himself. He is still interacting and building bridges. He is showing some goodwill. The latter probably thinks the same thing about the plans of a famous family.”

Shen Tang knew this trick: "If you say so, Zhang Yongqing is a fool and a traitor. He deliberately uses this method to deceive people?"

After years of operation, the medicinal materials market has become a major source of income for Yiru. In addition, the harvests in recent years have been very poor. The income from the fields owned by these noble families is almost always in deficit. The difference lies in the size of the deficit. There are so many people in the clan, and the annual expenses are a huge amount. Sooner or later, we will have to eat all the food.

Many people have set their sights on the medicinal materials industry.

The current world is so chaotic, wars are going on everywhere, and it is noisy. It is not only rice that is popular, but also medicinal materials.

The former fills the stomach, the latter can save lives.

Everyone will focus on it.

Could it be that Zhang Yongqing's move was to draw fire from under the cauldron?

Taking the opportunity to suppress and gain power?

It's not impossible.

There are also local nobles investing in Zhang Yongqing, hoping that other competitors and enemies will fall behind and let them eat the cake.

Gu Chi said: "Absolutely."

"What's going on with Wu Zhaode?"

Gu Chi said with a smile: "Wu Zhaode also used spiritual wine to get away with a lot of benefits. The Wu family is originally from the Tianhai family, and it is much easier to do things than Zhang Yongqing. This time, the profit is probably making him smile crookedly. The lord looked at them and didn't want to Want to give it a try?”

This game of fighting with outsiders and fighting with within.

Shen Tang thought for a while.

Difficulty: "The territory of Heyin is barely considered a family. It seems that I have shaved it off and all the family property has been confiscated... If King Yama had been more diligent, I estimate that they would all have grown to six or seven in their mother's womb by now." Months old?"

She probably won't experience this kind of fun anymore.
