Chapter 1328 1328: Ming Xiu Plank Road (Part 2) [Ask for monthly ticket]
"Could this captain be the heir of some Chehou?"
Shen Tang and Xia Houyu have known each other for several years, and they know that the other party doesn't like to make unreliable lies. Since he mentioned the captain of Shanyong County, this person will definitely come in handy. Shen Tang couldn't help but think of Gongyang Yongye. It seemed that Lao Deng helped the Southwest Allied Forces out of the battle because of his son's favor. This possibility is not small. Twenty-level Chehous are rare, but they will definitely have many heirs.
The rules of the rivers and lakes are: if you can't beat someone, just shake them off.
Xia Houyu said, "No."
Shen Tang became more and more curious, and his curiosity was raised: "It's not this, it's not that, so what's the relationship between them?"
Xia Houyu's words were shocking.
"That is the Lord Chehou."
Shen Tang made a sound: "...Huh?"
No, even if there is an error in the battle report, it cannot be so big as to mistake the 20th-level Chehou for the 11th-level right update. Shen Tang also carefully read through the achievements and basic personal information of the captain of Shanyong County. Who would place a Chehou here?
She was not in a hurry to question Xia Houyu.
He just asked: "What's the inside story here?"
Xia Houyu said tactfully: "I also found out about him from the dean's belongings. Before, I only knew that he had a pretty good relationship with the dean. When I was packing up the dean's belongings, I found a few letters that had not yet been sent back. The letter mentioned that this person was suffering from an old disease, which seemed to be related to the fact that this person went wrong in his promotion to kill the good thoughts, which caused his cultivation level to slip to the eleventh level, and he could no longer improve at all... After this incident, he Just hide in the countryside.”
Hiding in the countryside is the best way to save your life.
How can anyone who can cultivate to his level have no enemies?
Whether he is an enemy or a political opponent, he can be killed.
In troubled times, the so-called genius is also a consumable product that iterates very quickly. There are many unlucky ghosts who have fallen halfway, and his disappearance is not a rare thing. People of his generation thought he died in battle, and the next generation did not recognize him.
After Xiahouyu returned to Shentang, Shentang saw that he was still thinking about Quqing Academy, so he made a special trip to say hello to Zhai Le and allowed her to send someone to collect the old things, just as a thought for Xiahouyu and others. It happened to be his birthday, so I even saved on gifts.
More than a dozen carts of relics were collected.
Most of them were purchased from villagers' homes in nearby villages.
After the fire that year, nearby villagers ran over to pick up the bargains and took away whatever was not burned. It was also good to take it home and use it as kindling. When Shen Tang sent people to buy it, the villagers thought it was to settle scores. It wasn't until I discovered that these junk things could really be exchanged for money that I went door-to-door to inform them that someone had been taken advantage of. Xia Houyu put these away properly and unexpectedly found a few pieces of bamboo with the dean's handwriting inside. He followed the clues to find the unsent letters. Then I put the bamboo pieces together and found that the content was somewhat interesting.
He had an impression of this Captain of Suinaga County.
According to the dean, the other party and the first dean were old acquaintances.
The other party also contributed to the establishment of Quqing Academy.
When Xia Houyu was teaching in the academy, he didn't know the captain's strength and only thought that he was an ordinary eleventh-level right guard. One can imagine how surprised he was when he saw the contents of the communication between the dean and the other party. The hermit master was actually beside him!
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Tang's reaction: "I remember when the dean was still there, he would come to the academy to stay for a few days every summer. I met him a few times, but didn't exchange a few words. If I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to come to the other party’s door rashly.”
Xia Houyu specially explained.
It's not that he doesn't want to surrender without a fight, but the captain has a relationship with the dean, not with him. Trying to persuade the other party to surrender with this kind of friendship is simply a fool's errand. The eleventh-level Right Guard couldn't bear the humiliation of surrender, let alone an old general who was theoretically a Marquis of Che? Gold and silver treasures may not convince a brave warrior, but fists certainly can!
Shen Tang didn't care about this at all: "...According to Zikuan, this guy did have a moment of glory, but it's all in the past... Or is there any way he can break through the limitations in a short period of time and perform far better than Eleven Wait for the right to get stronger?"
She was a little confused when she asked this question.
The captain of Suginaga County was able to break through the ceiling limit and briefly display his original strength. He was indeed qualified to be a rescuer, but he was also qualified to beat himself up. After all, Shen Tang has to defeat the opponent first before the opponent can surrender to her as a rescuer.
Xia Houyu confirmed Shen Tang's guess, but also gave her reassurance that she only needed to arrange eleven more powerful opponents for the opponent. In other words, Shen Tang cannot play in person.
"...Is it possible that he gets stronger when he is strong?"
How strong is your opponent, and how much can you unblock yourself?
Xia Houyu, like Chu Yao, never hesitates to praise.
"My lord is smart, that's pretty much what I mean."
"Something's wrong. If he can get stronger when he meets the strong, he is actually no different from the real Marquis Che. No opponent he meets can beat him. Why did he retire back then?" There is no need to worry about persecution by his enemies and political enemies. His strength is not Are they all still there?
"There seems to be a time limit."
The dean mentioned this in his correspondence with the other party.
A flash of inspiration flashed in Shen Tang's mind.
She said firmly: "Time limit? I'm afraid it will be more than that."
Brave warriors of the same realm rarely prolong the battle line. A simple time limit is not enough to force the opponent to retreat. Unless it takes a few seconds or ten seconds, then it is really useless. Shen Tang boldly guessed that there might be other harsh restrictions.
She quickly discovered the problem with the mechanism: "...When you encounter a strong force, you will be strong. How can you use a strong method? Suppose his opponent is the eleventh-level right update, and his strength returns to the twelfth-level left update. At this time, I will send another ten Will he be able to kill him two-on-one with the third-level update? Or will his strength be further restored because of this thirteenth-level update? Is there any limit to the number of times he can recover?"
If there were no restrictions, he would still be invincible.
If there is a limit, what is the maximum number of times?
Can I get a BUG myself?
Xia Houyu was almost stunned by what he said. The lord was thinking about these issues, but he had never thought about them. He just speculated on the best conditions for dealing with the opponent based on the past achievements that the captain could find. The higher the level of brave warriors, the greater the gap. His side sent eleven right-wingers. Moreover, the opponent's strength can at most be restored to the twelfth level. Even if it is one level higher, there is still the possibility of leapfrogging the challenge. This small gap between individual warriors is not worth mentioning in front of the three-army formation, nor does it affect the overall situation.
He said shyly: "My lord, I forgive you, I don't know."
Shen Tang said: "Why should Zikuan blame himself?"
The information provided by Xia Houyu was very timely. If he didn't mention anything and rashly fought with the opponent, wouldn't he be confused? They agreed to wait for the eleventh hour, but as soon as they made a move, they went directly to their weak point. If they were careless, they could be seriously injured by Lao Liu.
Shen Tang did not intend to bet on this person for reinforcements.
When she decided to send out Lin Feng and others, she had prepared a backup plan.
After hearing this, Xiahou Yu stopped worrying and concentrated on preparing for the battle in Shanyong County. When Shen Tang learned from him that the captain still had this relationship with Quqing Academy, he thought about changing the battle plan.
Gu De dismissed her idea: "This person cannot lobby."
It is impossible for the dean to take action personally.
Shen Tang said: "I didn't expect the lobbying to be successful."
Just wanted to stir up trouble a little bit.
"First of all, not many people should know the true identity of this captain. If I were the leader of the country and there was such a captain in the local states and counties, let alone he could exert his original strength under certain conditions, even if No, I will also sacrifice him directly to recruit more people to serve me."
Shen Tang could guess from the fact that the other party was just the captain of Suinaga County - not many people knew his identity, at least not including the king of the country and the governor of Suginaga County. According to the record that can be checked by the outside world, the captain is an old mediocre person with low talent. He has never fought a few battles beyond the limit of his own strength in his life. He is useful but not indispensable.
The previous Magistrate was shot by a stray arrow in the battle, causing the wound to fester and die. The current Magistrate of Sukinaga County had just taken office a few days ago.
Time is short, and the two do not have the basis to trust each other.
Xiahou Yu said: "Leave this matter to Yu."
He said a few words to the other party, and there was a slight affection between them.
Shen Tang rejected Xia Houyu's request: "Zikuan can't do it."
Being too suspicious would make his situation more dangerous.
The matter fell on Gu De. Shen Tang also assigned him an additional task.
So, so, so, so, the whole content made him a little doubtful about life: "Master, are you sure you want to do this?"
Shen Tang smiled slyly and said, "Let's try it."
It was also the first time she used this tactic.
Inspired by jellyfish essence.
After the seafood is frozen, it can be used for business or for sneak attacks. Shen Tang plans to send some elites to infiltrate the donated fresh water and aquatic products. It is absolutely impossible for the enemy to be prepared. When the time is right, these people can just take the enemy by surprise from the laxly defended rear, open the city gate, and close the inside and outside!
Gu De hesitated: "But..."
Shen Tang asked back: "Will Yourong become wary of food?"
"...At most it is suspected that the food has been poisoned."
Instead of doubting that food can make a big difference in life.
Before this, no one would use the Martial Arts Totem like this, and no one would have thought that the enemy was mixed in with the ingredients.
What's more, it's a batch of frozen ingredients.
"Isn't this enough?" When it comes to fighting, it's all about taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them unprepared. Only the sixth person can have the last laugh.
Gu De: "..."
Shen Tang said regretfully: "If I had thought of this method earlier, many battles in the past would have been easier to fight."
She was also stuck in a mental deadlock.
Gu De: "..."
Inexplicably, I sympathize with the lord's future enemies.
While Shanyong County restricted Shen Tang's power, the transportation of grain and grass here also became a problem, and the shortage of grain and grass in the territory had already begun. The food supply among the people has skyrocketed, and the common people can only brave the cold to go down the river to fish. Even the guards in the county rely on this road to eat some meat.
Fish in the rivers within the territory are almost extinct.
It will take half a month for the next batch of grain and grass to arrive.
It's cold and hungry outside, but it doesn't affect the food and clothing at the upper level.
Under such circumstances, the appearance of a strange caravan attracted the attention of all parties. When entering the city, all the wooden barrels on the carriage were detained. When they opened it, they found that the barrels were full of fish sealed in ice. All kinds of river fish make people hungry.
The surface of each fish is covered with a layer of crystal ice and snow.
The guards immediately found an excuse to attack.
The young man headed by him leisurely reported his origins.
Upon hearing this, the guards knew that they could not afford to offend, so they reported the news layer by layer under suspicion. The captain of Shanyong County was training his troops, and he was worried about the shortage of military rations in the camp. The report came from his tent that someone had sent a large amount of food, and he said it was an old friend of his.
The captain thought it was ridiculous at first.
"What's this trick again?"
Didn't he remember that he had an old friend who was a fish seller?
I didn't want to meet him at first, but I changed my mind after hearing the other party introduce himself: "A student from Quqing Academy? Which one?"
"Student Gu Yourong has met the captain."
The actual age of the captain was more than 150 years old, but in appearance he was just a middle-aged man with white beard and hair and brown scars on his left and right cheeks. His body is tall and strong, his back is straight and straight, and he looks like a solid hill just sitting there.
"When did you become a fish seller?"
He is selling fish, does the dean know?
The captain was well-informed and knew at a glance that the young man in front of him was here to lobby, so he refused without thinking. Unexpectedly, his voice and attitude were very gentle: "I do have some friendship with you Quqing Academy, but not with you little kids. The battlefield matters, the winner and loser are determined on the battlefield, don't engage in any conspiracy in private, I'm the best I don’t like these vain people.”
As long as Gu De wisely leaves, he will just pretend that it didn't happen.
Gu De smiled reluctantly: "This is not for lobbying."
The captain raised his voice slightly: "Oh?"
He watched Gu De take out several letters from his sleeve.
"What happened is this. This junior was searching for old college belongings among the people, and unexpectedly found a few private letters that had not yet been sent out... At that time, I didn't know they were private letters. I just thought they were the dean's relics and opened them. Only then did I find that it was you who signed them."
The captain accepted the letter and doubted it.
As soon as I look at the date of signing, I can remember when it happened.
"Have you read it all?" In addition to the normal communication between friends, the rest of the content is the dean's answers to the captain's questions, as well as many ideas for solving his old illness. These letters were not even painted, and it was unknown how many people had read them.
Gu De nodded and said, "I've seen it."
He didn't care at all about the murderous intention surrounding the other party.
The captain said: "After seeing it, you won't be able to live."
Gu De sighed and said: "The captain thought that this junior didn't expect this before he came? Since he dared to come, he was naturally prepared."
His words made the captain interested.
"You dare to come here knowing that you are going to die?"
"How did the captain know that this junior is not on this trip to survive?"
The captain's body leaned forward slightly, bringing extreme pressure: "If you want to survive, do you want to betray your master?"
Temporary betrayal in front of the battle, nine out of ten deceptions.
The captain said: "I don't believe what you say."
Gu De was still unhurried: "Captain, do you still remember why Quqing Academy was burned? Who forced the dean to self-immolate? Her contacts with Qu State have already touched the vitality of Quqing students..."
"...How many people did you bring here?"
The captain's topic jumped very quickly.
Gu De said: "There are only more than two hundred confidants."
These so-called cronies are all ordinary people, and the captain will find out once he checks them. These people are not enough to carry out a sneak attack from inside and outside.
"What happened to those fish?"
"The food and grass are strictly guarded. Even if someone is covering for the junior, it will be easy for her to know once he is transferred. It is easier for these river fish... Although they are not of great use, it would be good if they can last a few more days."
