Back Off, Let Me Come

The old ministers of Xin State ate this celebration banquet absentmindedly.

Luan Cheng, who was following Luan Xin, couldn't eat either.

"The food is not to your liking?"

Luan Xin keenly noticed something strange about his nephew.

Luan Cheng's face seemed troubled, because most of the people here were literate scholars/valiant warriors with excellent ears, and whispering was no different from shouting. If you want to know what you are saying, you will also [transmit the message into the secret] and have a private chat to avoid embarrassment.

Luan Xin asked: "When did you become so unhappy?"

Just say whatever you have!

No one would care about him if he said he was wrong.

Luan Cheng was about to [transmit sound into the secret], but was dumbfounded for a moment.

His uncle refused to join the small group for private chat.

Luan Cheng felt like he was sitting on pins and needles for a moment, squirming his buttocks on the mat, and finally said: "Uncle, Shen Nujun is really as popular as the rumors. My nephew has admired her for a long time. Today, I can see the real person. For a moment, I feel... A little nervous."

The old ministers of the Xin Kingdom seemed to have their heads down and just have a meal, but in fact they secretly paid attention to the conversation between Luan's uncle and nephew, and their hearts tightened.

"There is no need to be nervous, my lord is the kindest person."

His seemingly calm eyes were filled with approval.

My nephew is still discerning.

Seeing that my uncle did not reprimand or correct the title "Shen Nujun", he implicitly accepted that the title was correct. Luan Cheng and all the old officials of the Xin Kingdom were in even more complicated moods - the lady sitting at the top, Lord Shen, was actually a real girl?

Xie Qi looked at the faces that were hesitating to speak and were hesitating to speak, and felt a lot of sadness. His reaction to learning the truth was not much better than theirs. Just as he was about to grab a chopstick to grill the meat, Danfu Wen's heart trembled. Xie Qi accepted Yan Ling by lowering his eyes.

A colleague who I once had a good relationship with [transmitted the message into the secret].

Former colleague: [Shizang, did you know she is a woman? 】

Xie Qi replied in a Wen Qi tone: [I know. 】

There was a long silence on the part of the former colleagues.

Xie Qi smiled and said: [What are you worried about? 】

The former colleague spit out four words: [Si Chen. 】

Little did he know that as soon as he said these words, many pairs of eyes fell on him either openly or covertly, but he was completely unaware of them.

A former colleague said: [This is an unprecedented sign! 】

When a strange sign appears, there must be something ominous!

Xie Qi secretly wiped his cold sweat and said: [Why do you want to do so much? In terms of omens, can anyone be more monstrous than Zheng Qiao? Come on, don't worry about it. Your life was saved by others. You sit in their place and spread these deceptive words... It is light to repay kindness with hatred. If you can't accept it, you can continue to live in seclusion and indulge in the mountains and rivers. 】

When Zheng Qiao was in power, everything went as bad as he wanted.

Living under Zheng Qiao, if she said something that she shouldn't say, she would die without knowing it; if she was under Lord Shen Jun's account, she would probably be too lazy to pay attention to the white-skinned man's innocent moans, and there would be no risk of being convicted for her words. This alone should be a blessing.

After ending a private chat, there is another private chat.

Xie Qi has a good temper and has to deal with them one by one.

Summary center, one sentence——

All the beauties were once the rulers of all kingdoms, so what about women?

Those who are interested in becoming an official should take the opportunity to plan carefully. Those who cannot accept it will continue to stay at home and lie down. This is not a matter of force.

One of his former colleagues asked him: [What does Shizang mean by this? Are you prepared to assist this female monarch wholeheartedly? 】

【nature. 】Xie Qi generously admitted, and said, 【The eldest daughter and the second daughter in the family worship Ning Tunan as their teacher, and the younger daughter also found a famous teacher to lead the way. You can't even recognize Ning Tunan, can you? We are all still classmates. Destined to have no children in this life, the Xie family will have to rely on their three daughters to support their family. Hey, three! My three daughters all have at least above-average qualifications...]

If it wasn't allowed, I would have wanted to pat my thigh.

The proportion of good seedlings with cultivation qualifications is very low!

Former colleague: […]

Just because parents are qualified does not necessarily mean that their children will be. The advantage of a large family lies in inheritance and foundation. Every household has a large collection of spiritual books. In addition, the cultivation experience left by the ancestors of the family can make qualified members of the family Children should avoid detours. In addition, their network of contacts is extremely wide, and by exchanging resources, they can easily obtain the teaching resources that ordinary people dream of.

Of course, it’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

If the family cannot produce a qualified member of the family, life will be difficult. In order to keep the family from falling into ruin, many aristocratic families either have more children, even sons, or they look for one or two qualified children from the private sector and send them to the unqualified heirs. The two grow up together and use their feelings and interests as their Use chips to make the other party willing to be your right hand.

Whether you are a boy or a girl, whether you have qualifications or not, these are beyond human control. Daughters are the link between marriage, exchange of benefits, and maintenance of in-law relationships. When the family is at its peak, they are the icing on the cake; when the family is in decline, they are used to delay its decline.

The worst thing is to fall into Luan's situation. Not to mention that there are very few people in the main lineage, the only trace of blood is the daughter, the head of the family and the mistress died young. The other branch tribesmen will pounce on you like beasts that smell blood and eat them all. Luan Nujun was lucky. She made a decisive decision and chose a man named Luan Xin who had good enough qualifications to adopt her, thus avoiding being wiped out.

Xie Qi's wife was pregnant with three children, and their former colleagues would sweat over him when they mentioned him occasionally. Among them, there are also those who have good friendships and have no shortage of sons. They once had the idea of ​​​​giving a gift to the adoptive family - the family property is fixed, and the majority will be given to the eldest son, and the other sons will receive limited shares. Rather than losing the big tail, it is better to hand it over to thank you for a better future.

Naturally, Xie Qi did not agree. In addition, there was Zheng Qiao, a high-voltage manufacturing machine, on top of his head. The Xie clan members who had thoughts of being exterminated did not reach out to Xie Qi for the time being. Who knew, Xie Qi would actually launch a desperate counter-attack - three of them!

How many blind boxes do I have to open to get it together? ? ?

Hearing Xie Qi's triumphant tone, the qualifications of the Three Golden Flowers were definitely superior to Xie Qi's, and his colleagues' faces became sour and twisted!

No wonder he didn't hesitate at all and accepted it happily.

Co-authoring takes such a huge advantage!

Several colleagues stared at the food on the dining table.

If their family's daughter of the right age could produce three qualified seedlings at once, they would gladly accept it! If you are worried about the insecurity when it comes to asking your daughter to marry someone else, you can choose a few outstanding men to prevent the third generation from returning to the family line.

If the son-in-law is uneasy in the capital, then deal with it secretly.

Several people glanced at Luan Cheng in unison.

We can't cause farce like Luan's to make people laugh.

Luan Xin: "..."

Oh, these people are using Luan as a stone to cross the river, right?

On the surface, the celebration banquet is lively and lively, celebrating the hard-won achievements; secretly, they are transformed into melon fields, and all kinds of gossip cannot be tolerated. Specifically, it refers to the private chats between Shen Tang and the old ministers of the Xin Kingdom. The content gradually transitioned from "Shen Nvjun is a strange sign" and "Female Chicken Si Chen" to the female junior members of the clan. Qualifications can be roughly assessed as soon as you are born.

In the past, women could not practice cultivation, and the male heirs they gave birth to could open a blind box, and their daughters did not even have any expectations. Even if they knew they had the qualifications, they could only lament why they were not born as men, or lament why the qualifications were not found in their brothers.

Now the situation is different again.

Sitting at the top, Shen Jun obviously has mastered the secret of female cultivation, and his previous understanding was shattered by the iron-clad facts.

Those who are not short of heirs are not too cold about it. After all, the prejudice against daughters has been around for a long time, and they have suddenly reversed, and their subconscious minds are also resisting. Those who are jealous of the lack of heirs have different ideas, because they are profitable and easy to accept.

Shen Tang did not interfere in any way.

Firstly, these are not her courtiers, and no matter how long her hands are, she cannot interfere in each other's family affairs; secondly, it is not a good thing if the family is too strong. It is true that getting their investment can save a lot of trouble, but Shen Tang wants them to lower their profile and beg him, instead of begging them with a shy face. They are soft-mouthed and short-handed when taking advantage of others. If you rely too much on them, you will be controlled by others.

If you want to move them one day, it won't be easy.

Shen Tang has his own rules in mind regarding the choice.

Following the content of their conversation, Shen Tang also learned a lot about their identities, family backgrounds, and connections. Overall, this celebration banquet was more rewarding than expected.

Because Cui Xiao is a newcomer, Shen Tang pays more attention to him in the past two days and basically takes him with him wherever he goes. Firstly, I can get to know Cui Xiao better, and secondly, it also allows Cui Xiao to have more contact with her team. This move inevitably aroused Gu Chi's harsh words again.

Gu Chi said thoughtfully: [Like! It’s so similar! I heard that every new person who comes to the inner court will be pampered for a while. 】

Shen Tang: [……]

Because of Gu Chi, her eyes were wrong when she looked at Cui Xiao.

On the third day of the celebration banquet, Shen Tang was still worried about medicinal materials.

Now that she has Chaoliguan as a natural barrier, she is less stressed about fighting. What worries her most right now is the epidemic in Yanzhou.

These days, the flooding has completely receded.

The soldiers and horses under Shen Tang's tent are proficient in the demolition and reconstruction of various buildings. They are also good at dredging rivers and reinforcing dams. Once the situation in Yanzhou stabilizes, they can send people out to get started. Only the epidemic made her more troublesome. She was really short of medicinal materials!

One more day of delay, and countless patients would be killed by the epidemic, and Shen Tang did not stock up on enough medicinal materials.

In the past, I could exchange medicinal materials with Zhang He, but now——

The two families are already at odds, and there must be a fight!

When she told the newcomer Cui Xiao about the difficulty, Cui Xiao's reaction was a little strange: "My lord, please forgive me for being blunt, but the most important thing at the moment is to deal with Huang Lie and others, not to rescue the victims."

If we don’t solve the root causes and stabilize the situation everywhere, no matter how hard we try, we will be easily destroyed by a war.

Shen Tang sighed: "Why don't I know?"

But the problem is that she has already absorbed the refugees and transferred them in batches to the Chaoli Pass, which was relatively less affected by the disaster.

If he ignores it, even if Shen Tang takes over places like Yanzhou and Qianzhou in the future, it won't work if there are only a few living people.

In addition, she had another consideration.

"...All the members of the Dragon Slaying Bureau allied forces spent their money to fight this war. How much food is there? If we don't move all these people away, Huang Xiguang and the others will be forced to attack them once they have lost all their food and grass." Come on, I don’t know where to get military rations.”

Because of more than two hundred years of melee, the moral bottom line has been breached in countless ways. There was a psychological burden at first, but once there were many examples, it became even more justified to fall.

The other forces in the Dragon Slaying Bureau are somewhat burdened by their family background, so they have to be shameless and won't do this until they get to that point, but Huang Xiguang is different. He is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

Shen Tang said softly: "If I want to restore order, I must set an example and let everyone in the world know what order is."

Even if her persistence makes simple things complicated.

Cui Xiao, who was standing behind him, did not respond. Shen Tang laughed to himself and said, "It sounds very indecisive, right?"

Cui Xiao finally responded.

"No, absolutely not."

Compared with depravity and indulgence, it is too difficult to stick to one's heart.

Precisely because of the difficulty, we can see the determination of the Lord to establish order. This made Cui Xiao feel as if he had found a treasure. If his expectations for Shen Tang were only seven points, then the latter's performance made him see a very high possibility.

However, the ideal is full but the reality is cruel.

Medicinal materials, a scarce strategic resource, have very few private reserves and are mostly concentrated in the treasury of various families, such as the group of old officials of the Xin Kingdom. They were gathered by Zheng Qiao to Qianzhou as hostages. Most of the family resources were in their ancestral hometown and were relatively well preserved.

Shen Tang also came up with this idea.

Cui Xiao said: "It's okay to deal with them, but my lord still needs to remember the lessons learned by Duke Wu."

Every chip obtained from them is essentially an IOU, which must be returned with interest in the future.

Shen Tang said: "This is natural."

I don’t know if it was Wu Xian who couldn’t help but talk about it. Just after mentioning this person, a troop of soldiers and horses approached outside Chaoliguan City.

Shen Tang didn't frown.

"how many people?"

"Thirty-four people!"

So few people?

Shen Tang asked again: "Which banner is it?"

"Tianhai Wu family!"

The city wall's rotating guards were Zhao Wei and Xu Quan. When they knew each other's origins, they waved their hands to indicate that the hidden arrows from the arrow tower should be put down. He ordered someone to detain the person and tell the lord the news without stopping. Gu Ziyi was destroyed, and only Tianhai Wu Xian was left in the Dragon Slaying Bureau who had a good relationship with the lord. This may be your only ally!

Shen Tang summoned the leader of this team.

The leader was an unfamiliar face.

When the other party saw Shen Tang in a blouse, he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, cupped his fists and said, "I've met Mr. Shen."

Shen Tang said: "Brother Zhaode, are you okay?"

Looking at the status of the messenger, I know it is not very good.

Their troops broke out from the encirclement. There were more than a hundred people at the beginning, but by the time they were killed, less than 40% were left...

The messenger took out a letter from his arms and gave it to Shen Tang.

Shen Tang opened it and read ten lines at a glance.

Judging from the content of the letter, Wu Xian's situation is not too bad. He is like a greedy snake, eating away at several small forces along the way. If you are unlucky enough to meet Huang Lie, you can still fight him.

However, if Huang Lie can't stand it, he will shake people.

The battle report was received from the front line, and Zhang He and Huang Lie reached an alliance.

It was quite embarrassing for Wu Xianruo to be flanked by these two men.

To increase your chances of survival, forming alliances is your best option. He sent news to both Shen Tang and Gu Ziyi, but when he heard that Gu Ziyi had died, his only hope rested on Shen Tang.

Shen Tang looked at the letter and lowered his eyes in deep thought.

The messenger lamented: "Does Mr. Shen know that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold?"

She turned the letter upside down on the desk and said righteously: "Shen has a deep love for brother Zhaode, Tangdi, and has received a lot of help from him. It is known to the world. Now that brother Zhaode is in trouble, how can he be ungrateful?"

The symptoms and duration of the second yang were lighter than the first time.
