Chapter 237 237: Wake up, pull out the stronghold [two in one]
If there were forums in this era, there would probably be an anonymous help post at this moment, and Shen Tang had already thought about the content.
#Help! There is a tenth-rank Zuo Shuzhang swearing allegiance to me, but I don't know how to do the ceremony at all, hurry up! #
When the book is in use, you will hate less!
Shen Tang also hated himself for not paying more attention to this aspect.
I don’t know how to deal with it.
Did she directly take the Brave Tiger Talisman handed over by Gong Shuwu? Or put your hand on it and say "I accept your allegiance" very succinctly? Or, stretch out your hands to help Gong Shuwu up? How can people say that he is still a wounded person...
Shen Tang was at war with heaven and man in his heart.
Actually did not hesitate for a while.
"Okay, okay! I, Shen Tang, will never let you down!"
Shen Tang solemnly took the valiant tiger amulet presented by Gong Shuwu, and bent down to help him up. Gong Shuwu also followed his strength to half-sit down again. He raised the palm of his hand and sucked it, and the Wudan Tiger Talisman turned into pure martial energy again, peeled off little by little, and merged into his meridians.
With the stripping of martial energy, Shen Tang left a boxy seal the size of a baby's fist in Shen Tang's hand, on which was a green dragon.
The last time I saw this blue dragon, it was only as long as a thumb. I don't know if it's Shen Tang's illusion, but at this moment it is a little bigger, and even the luck lingering around it is a little stronger than before. If you look closely, you can vaguely hear the roar of dragons and tigers.
Shen Tang said: "You gave it to me?"
"Yes, it's inappropriate for Xi Yin to stay with Wu. I hope—" Gongshu Wu paused, and glanced at Xi Yin, "I hope the lord will not forget his original intention and truly benefit the people of one side."
He looked at the seal with complicated eyes.
There is relief, hope, reluctance, and worry...he doesn't know whether his decision at this time is right or wrong.
The old lord of the Xin Kingdom appointed him as "Tuo Gu's important minister", "Tuo Gu" to him, and asked him to flee with the national seal, hoping that he could help the descendants of Xin Guo to restore the country... But this hope is too slim. Gong Shuwu can only guarantee that the national seal will not fall into the hands of Zheng Qiao.
Now entrust the Imperial Seal to Shen Tang. If Mr. Shen Xiaolang can protect the common people, or overthrow the court of Zheng Qiao, Gong Shuwu asks himself, he is worthy of the salary that Xin Guo received in those years. But looking at Shen Tang whose face is still immature—
He had a mentality similar to that of Qishan and the others.
Is it really right for such a simple and straightforward boy to shoulder a heavy responsibility beyond his age?
But when he thought of Qishan and Chu Yao, two black-hearted scribes who were not easy to get along with, Gong Shuwu's reminders circled on the tip of his tongue for several times, and finally he was swallowed back. Shen Tang gathered his palms together and said: "Half a step of today's words, Tang will definitely remember it in his heart."
Completely confessing Guoxi, Gong Shuwu can be regarded as removing the biggest boulder in his heart. His own injury has not yet healed, and he has been asleep for many days. After talking for a while, the drowsiness after bouts is like waves hitting the shore. He drowns.
Seeing the weariness between Gongshu Wu's eyebrows, Shen Tang told him to rest at ease, and helped him tuck the corners of the quilt, and got up to leave the camp.
Before stepping out of the tent, she smiled and clenched her hands tightly.
The imperial seal the size of a baby's fist was rippled, and the texture of the jade turned into a liquid gel. At first glance, it looked like a light blue dragon, with long and short thumbs, and it quietly penetrated into the skin of the palm, as if it was completely absorbed by the skin. Flowing through the meridians into Danfu.
The moment it enters, it is like a drop of water dropping into boiling oil.
Flying beads splash jade, tumbling endlessly.
The movements inside the Dan Mansion can be described as landslides, landslides, mountains roaring and tsunamis, but Shen Tang's face was normal, and he was distracted and carefully told the soldiers standing around the entrance of the camp to take good care of Gong Shuwu. Let her know immediately if there is any problem.
The soldier said: "Yes!"
Shen Tang didn't go far when she saw two literary counselors standing against the wind. She changed the direction of her toes and walked towards them.
There are still six or seven steps away from the two.
Qi Shan and Chu Yao bowed together.
Said in unison: "My lord."
Shen Tang: "..."
Although there are two people who know about Gong Shuwu's secret push, it's one thing to know, and another thing to see them admit it with their own eyes. I don't know whether I should feel sorry for Gong Shuwu, or feel sorry for myself...
Still feel bad together.
Shen Tang coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said to the two: "There are no outsiders here, so you can call them as usual."
I am used to hearing "Shen Xiaolangjun" and "Wulang". The sudden change of their names made Shen Tang very, very uncomfortable. The power is comparable to that of Pan Jinlian calling Wu Dalang to drink medicine, all hairy...
The two did not refuse.
Qi Shan asked: "Did you explain half a step?"
Shen Tang nodded and said, "Yes."
Hearing Shen Tang's personal confession, the two of Qishan breathed a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, "man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation", even if the two of them are fully prepared and calculate all aspects, there is still no guarantee that Gong Shuwu will actually hand over the national seal , completely return to heart.
Although the national seal is at best a icing on the cake for Shen Tang who already has a national seal, but once it falls into the hands of other people, it will be a threat to the tiger, causing endless troubles! Guoxi, if you can get it, try to hold it in your own hands!
Chu Yao showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.
opened the mouth and said: "It's so good, so good!"
I don’t know what a good day it is today. Not long after Gong Shuwu woke up, the soldiers who took care of Yang Duwei also brought good news—Yang Duwei, who had been seriously injured and comatose since the end of the Battle of Xiaocheng, finally woke up !
Shen Tang: "..."
Her feet seemed to be rooted in place, and they did not move.
It’s not that I don’t want to visit, it’s just—
Shen Tang pointed to his face, and whispered to Qishan and Chu Yao: "Yuanliang, Wuhui, if I go, will he hit me?"
Qi Shan had no expression on his face: "He is already useless."
Chu Yao said: "No one can hurt Goro."
Shen Tang: "..."
That's what she said, but she was still a little timid.
Not right either—
It's not so much counseling, it's better to say "can't bear it".
Because she couldn't bear to see Yang Duwei's appearance at this time.
What is the mentality of the other party?
Is it depressed? Is the heart as dead as ashes?
Want to die in anger? Or crazy?
When she was complaining about Gu Chi earlier, she did not hesitate and had a clear conscience, but when she really had to face it, her mentality was different.
Shen Tang hesitated: "It's not as good as you—"
Before she finished speaking, Qishan took a step back.
Chu Yao smiled as gently as a holy father, but the words he uttered extinguished Shen Tang's last hope—about the matter of Captain Yang, the person who untied the bell had to be untied! Whether it's fighting generals to save people or robbing tax money, Shen Tang is the leader and the main person in charge!
Shen Tang: "..."
She moved over step by step.
Shrink your head with a knife, and extend your head with a knife!
It's better to let the storm come more violently!
Shen Tang took a deep breath, raised her hand and opened the tent where Captain Yang was recuperating, and she was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
In the imagination, Yang Duwei woke up and found himself a disabled person, so the scene of mania, madness, and throwing and beating did not happen. The tents were still neat and clean, but there was a strong smell of boiled herbs in the air.
Just as he was about to retreat, he heard Yang Duwei's hoarse voice from inside the tent: "Since you're here, why don't you come in?"
Shen Tang: "..."
She bit the bullet and walked in.
Yang Duwei's tent layout is the same as Gong Shuwu's, but the people sitting on the sickbed are different. Looking at Duwei Yang who had lost weight several times in just half a month, with a haggard and sickly face, Shen Tang was speechless for a moment.
His expression was too calm.
Yang Duwei asked: "Did you intercept the tax bank?"
He still remembers it.
During the time he was seriously injured and comatose, his dreams were chaotic and chaotic, but only the scene of killing Shui Yin that night was clear. The bearded man has turned into the short, male and female Shen Tang, and he has repeatedly praised this righteous man for his chivalrous heart.
In short, he is so angry!
Shen Tang simply admitted: "Well, I did it."
Yang Duwei clenched his hands on the quilt into fists.
Shen Tang said cheekily: "But I also saved you, and I fought desperately for Xiaocheng, so I can't count it as merit and demerit..."
Yang Duwei was almost laughed angrily by Shen Tang.
He said: "How can the merits and demerits of this school be offset?"
Shen Tang, a dead pig, is not afraid of boiling water, and with an expression of "I have it here", the veins on Yang Duwei's forehead twitched wildly, and his blood pressure soared.
Seeing Captain Yang's expression on the verge of a fit, Shen Tang thought he was out of control, but he just closed his eyes, his expression jumping back and forth between ferocious and calm.
Shen Tang was puzzled.
Lieutenant Yang endured the burning anger in his heart, and said in a rough tone: "Forget it, the old man is not as good as others!"
The matter was revealed in this way.
Shen Tang: "???"
Actually—
Just expose it like this?
Shen Tang wrote his psychological activities on his face, and Captain Yang became more and more angry. He gritted his teeth at this hateful young man: "This is the end, are you going to return the stolen money?"
She replied: "Impossible."
The things in her hands are naturally hers.
Shen Tang only cares about one thing—
Why didn't Lieutenant Yang ask his Danfu Wudan? ? ?
For a brave warrior who once climbed to the eleventh rank, losing the power he was proud of was a more painful event than the collapse of the sky. Captain Yang's reaction was wrong! Shen Tang stood still and did not leave, just looked at Yang Duwei worriedly.
Yang Duwei was puzzled at first.
As soon as he saw this hateful young man, his heart ached, but when he touched Shen Tang's eyes, he understood, his eyes were reddish, and he laughed at himself while holding back his tears: "My husband's family is gone, my old parents are gone, my wife and children are gone... a lonely family, with such strength Does it matter?"
Shen Tang was silent.
The air in the camp was also filled with silent mourning.
She didn't know what to say.
dryly said: "Please condolences..."
No matter what conflicts and conflicts there were before, how Duwei Yang behaved and how he acted, at this time he was just a poor man who had lost his blood relatives and was alone. It seems to be an inescapable fate in this world and this era.
Shen Tang left the tent in a daze.
The expression is the same as usual, but the overwhelming depression and depression in the mood really made Gu Chi, who has a "scholar's way" of the pitiful, suffer a lot. The bitterness and weakness even affected his taste buds, no matter what he ate, it was always bitter.
Gu Chi: "..."
It's better to endure Shen Tang's talk!
Fortunately-
This emo state didn't last long, and was quickly dispelled by business. Looking at the leaders of the major forces gathered again, Shen Tang secretly slandered, as expected, social animals are not qualified to hurt the spring and the autumn. This meeting also means that the first battle is approaching.
The new leader Wu Xian is still at the top.
Different from last time, Shen Tang's position was moved from the corner, and finally he didn't have to keep staring at the back of his dear friend in front of him.
The coalition army came to fight against the rebel army of King Zhu, not to travel at their own expense, and the food and grass consumed in a day was not a small amount. The rebels in Xiaocheng remained silent, but they couldn't afford to delay. After waiting for a few days, they decided to take the initiative to attack!
This is exactly what everyone is asking for.
When Wu Xian, the new leader of the alliance, proposed it, no one objected.
As for the deployment arrangement, it has been discussed several rounds before, and it has already been decided, and no one has any objection. On the contrary, a few malicious eyes swept over Shen Tang's body—
Drunk, Shen Tang almost destroyed the blood-sucking ceremony, and even boasted about it. Although no one mentioned this matter, they all waited for a joke behind their backs.
The new leader Wu Xian issued orders one after another.
Finally, it was Shen Tang's turn.
He confirmed with Shen Tang again and again.
"Master Shen really wants to fight the first battle?"
Shen Tang smiled gently but firmly.
"Yes, but I don't know what leader Wu thinks about it?"
Although she doesn't remember what she did when she was drunk, such a big gossip will surely reach her ears.
"I hope that your military fortune will be prosperous and the flag will be successful. You and my two families—" Wu Xian didn't answer directly, but pointed to Shen Tang, and then pointed to himself, laughing, "Just like a robe is like a brother."
"Tang Zi will do his best to live up to Brother Wu's trust."
For a while, everyone under the tent looked different.
Secretly thought to Shen Tang that this person is used to hitting snakes with sticks.
This changed from "Mr. Wu" to "Brother Wu"?
Some people are contemptuous, some are laughing, and some have nothing to do with themselves.
Shen Tang had a panoramic view of their expressions and smiled.
The drama is just beginning.
The army will set up camp before dawn tomorrow.
You need to be more vigilant this night, for fear that the rebels will attack at night.
Facts have proved that their worries were unnecessary.
The rebels in Xiaocheng only appear to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the waters are still and deep. The subordinates around the old general knew this best, and the secret letters with increasingly harsh words made the air suffocate.
No one dared to hit the gun at this time.
The old general has also started to hide his strength and bide his time in these years. He used to be the master of killing decisively. It is the moment when everyone is in danger, but there is only one person with a different style of painting.
Needless to say, this person is Gong Xiqiu.
These days, I have been recuperating from my injuries, thanking guests behind closed doors.
Even the confidants sent by the old general to visit were shut down twice, and the soldiers below talked a lot, and people's hearts fluttered.
As for Gong Xiqiu himself?
Privately, I get up early and go to bed early, enjoying my time.
Wake up to practice in the morning, meditate at noon, play marbles at night...
How can there be a majestic battlefield with more than one enemy?
The subordinate officials tried to persuade them, but they were all ignored.
This evening.
Gong Xiqiu woke up from the retreat.
I was told that the confidants sent by his adoptive father had been waiting for a long time.
Father's confidant: "The lord hosted a banquet for the major general to come over."
Gong Xiqiu frowned: "Why do you ask me to go to such a boring occasion?"
Was he able to sing or dance in the past? ? ?
