Chapter 749 Chapter 749: Zheng Qiao's end (Part 2) [Seeking a monthly ticket]
"Shizang, Zheng Qiao is fighting with the coalition forces..."
Shen Tang led the elite around to defeat the enemy, and just joined forces with the soldiers and horses of Cunshan City, she said such a sentence suddenly.
Xie Qi was confused for a moment: "When did it happen?"
Shen Tang's expression was turbulent: "Just now."
Thank you device: "???"
A few of the neatly trimmed beards were pulled off by him.
The distance between Okushan County and Cunshan City quickly appeared in his mind. The war just started there, how would the lord here know?
Just as Xie Qi thought that Shen Tang had some means to communicate with the coalition base camp in real time, Gu Chi's eyes fell on his lord's head. To be more precise, it was the pocket-handle she was wearing. The exquisite and powerful pocket-handle was piled up at some point.
Gu Chi secretly cursed in his heart, it was raining now, the lord could react so quickly, probably because he could smell it?
Emmm…
It is indeed fresh and hot (*/ω＼*)
In an instant, Gu Chi felt subtle sympathy for his lord, and found a bamboo hat and put it on for her. Shen Tang's face was darker than the cloud above his head. He couldn't help laughing: "Ahem—my lord, think about everything for the better, and we won't lose."
Once Kang Shi makes trouble, the lord knows it in real time.
Just like this time.
If the lord hadn’t been unlucky again to be patronized by bird droppings from the sky, they wouldn’t have known that the coalition forces and Zheng Qiao’s side might have gone to war. At this time, rush over, not to mention whether you can catch up, even if you catch up, it will be easy to make wedding dresses for others.
When Jiang Sheng saw Shen Tang's face.
Shen Tang didn't need to speak, he knew what happened.
During the whole process, just leave a thank you device to be quiet and confused.
No, I didn't see the lord using the magic tricks, nor did I see the messenger soldiers coming, so how did everyone know about it?
Xie Qi is really curious, but he is not familiar with other people now, and he doesn't know their respective temperaments, so he might offend if he speaks hastily, so he sent Ning Yan to ask Ning Yan to clarify his doubts.
He clearly saw that the corners of Ning Yan's mouth seemed to twitch out of control, and he said with a little anxiety: 【Could it be a secret that should not be passed on? 】
If it’s a secret, it’s really not appropriate to want to spy on it just after joining, at least after you really gain trust.
Ning Yan sent a secret response via voice transmission: [No. 】
Xie Qi heard the words and patiently waited for the reveal, and then he heard a very absurd, pitiful and funny truth.
Ning Yan: [It's purely because of Kang Jishou. Once his way of literati is activated, the lord will be implicated and often suffer bad luck. Such as walking with a sprained foot, drinking water and stuffing your teeth, going out and being drenched in bird droppings... Even so, it is not bad to use it well. 】
Such as sending a message.
Kang Shi also has self-knowledge. Under normal circumstances, he would not use his scribe's way without authorization, unless he encountered a strong enemy or needed to send a letter to Shen Tang. Shen Tang asked Kang Shi to be cautious before setting off, to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible, to preserve his strength, and to push things to other bullies if he needed to stand out. It's impossible for Kang Shi not to remember, so this time it should be a letter.
The bad luck didn't last long, which also verified this guess.
Shen Tang called everyone for a brief meeting.
The content of the meeting is whether to rush over.
They were not sure how long the battle between the coalition forces and Zheng Qiao would last, and how the two sides would win or lose. If you go in time, there is a certain probability that the magic soldiers will come from the sky, but there is also a certain probability that you will meet Zheng Qiao's elite. The soldiers and horses of the two sides are not in the same order. However, it is impossible to stand still.
After discussion by Chu Yao and others, they chose a compromise.
They're going to help, but not necessarily face to face.
Jiang Sheng proposed to set up a maze.
Shen Tang: "Maze?"
Jiang Sheng nodded: "Yes! No matter who wins or loses between Zheng Qiao's troops and the coalition forces, the dragon slaying game has reached this point. It will definitely fail."
How to completely blow Zheng Qiao's morale?
Jiang Sheng mentioned the "dowry" brought by Xie Qi.
No one knows the location of Zheng Qiao’s granary better than Xie Qi. Our side doesn’t even need to attack the granary. We only need to set fire near the granary, and use Zheng Qiao’s troops to spread the news of the granary’s fire. It will definitely become the last straw.
Xun Zhen also said: "What Xian Deng said is very true. Zheng Qiao's elite are all on the Miaojiang battlefield at the moment, and the rear must be empty. Earlier, Shizang also said that the tens of thousands of troops sent by Zheng Qiao were to delay us, not to annihilate us. , it can be seen that his strength is already tight."
Zheng Qiao's rear was empty, so he was helpless against the enemy soldiers who sneaked into his own territory, so he could only passively defend.
Why don't they take the opportunity to make a fuss?
Low risk, high return!
Shen Tang's heart beat wildly.
She immediately made a final decision: "Okay, let's do this!"
It's just that Shen Tang didn't expect things to go so smoothly, the time difference was so precise, setting fire to "burn" the granary would lead to the defeat of Zheng Qiao's troops. When she received the news, she slapped her thigh and said, "Chasing, don't run away!"
She doesn't even care about the imperial seal in Zheng Qiao's hand.
The national seal can be lost, but the head must be taken.
Because the morale of Zheng Qiao's soldiers and horses dispersed, the defense in Qianzhou was like a piece of paper. The various forces of the coalition forces basically did not encounter too difficult resistance, and they gained a lot, but Zheng Qiao never caught it. Not only that, the other party will fly kites with allied soldiers and horses.
Shen Tang was also a member of the kite-flying party at the beginning, fearing that the head would fall into his hands, he chased it like a headless fly for a long time without any results, and cursed in his mouth: "His uncle, was this Zheng Qiao an ace shooter in his previous life? Kite?"
According to the information given by the captive soldiers, although Zheng Qiao is gone, he still has powerful warriors guarding him. Even if the coalition forces set up a net all over Qianzhou, he may escape with the help of generals.
Once he escapes, the efforts of the Dragon Tuning Bureau will be in vain.
At this moment, Ning Yan's words gave everyone hope.
She said: "Maybe I know where Zheng Qiao is going."
Shen Tang's eyes lit up: "Where? This is over!"
Ning Yan showed a troubled expression, and she said: "It would take too long to bring troops to that place. If I go there first, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with the warriors around Zheng Qiao. So, could you please Wei..."
Her idea is that Wei Shou will try his luck with them.
Even if you don’t bet right, you can get out unscathed.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tang said without saying anything, "I'll go."
Ning Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Master, no!"
Shen Tang said: "I don't have a national seal with me now, even if we get close, Zheng Qiao won't be able to find us. He has experts protecting him, and it's dangerous for you, Xiandeng, and Yuan Yuan to go deep. No, we must bring **** me!"
She is the lord, doesn't she have this privilege?
Shen Tang felt that the goal of chasing Zheng Qiao with soldiers and horses was too big.
Acting alone may be more free and mobile.
Jiang Sheng immediately expressed his opposition.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
How can my lord take such a risk?
Shen Tang asked back: "Could it be that the coalition forces took the lead? Don't worry, I won't die! I cherish my life more than anyone else."
Zheng Qiao turned Qianzhou upside down with only the remnant soldiers.
"Yan Qing, you are the only one left by Gu's side now."
The young man in a plain robe pushed open the wooden door with both hands.
The two wooden doors have not been opened for many years, and no one has taken good care of them. Over the years, they have long been decayed. When the door was pushed open, it sounded like an old man on the verge of death. Opening the door, the young man saw that weeds were overgrown behind the door, and weeds and vines were growing wildly under the water of the rain. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar layout of the courtyard, Zheng Qiao felt a little bitter in his heart.
The bitterness is not intense, but long and tormenting.
Qi Cang followed Zheng Qiao across the threshold, carefully scanning the layout of the courtyard, for fear that there would be enemies ambushing in the dark. This small courtyard is located in the middle of the mountain. Although it is small in scale, its layout is exquisite and elegant. Zheng Qiao walked through the overgrown weeds, through the bamboo corridor, through the bamboo garden, all the way to a bamboo house full of cobweb dust. Zheng Qiao stood outside the bamboo house, looking in a daze.
Qi Cang looked over in an instant alertly.
The corner at the end of the line of sight is empty, except for a dried plum tree waiting quietly: "What did the lord hear?"
Qi Cang knew that Zheng Qiao was not mentally normal. Once he got sick, he would hear various voices and see strange visions...
Zheng Qiao watched carefully for a long time, then looked away.
He said: "I just heard my brother calling me."
Qi Cang said: "Yan Xingning is dead."
Zheng Qiao smiled wryly, "It's not him."
Qi Cang: "???"
Does the Lord have other brothers? ? ?
His gaze is too direct.
Zheng Qiao said: "The teacher has a lot of students."
He pushed open the door of the bamboo house. Because of the structure of the whole bamboo house, the indoor air is not dull, but there is an unspeakable decayed atmosphere. He bent down subconsciously when he entered the room, and sighed softly when he saw the half-decayed curtain above his head.
"This is the place where he taught, and it was also the place that Xin Guo's students yearned for most, but it has been abandoned for many years."
Now a shelter for weeds and animals.
The roof of the whole bamboo house has collapsed for a little while, and there are many bamboo desks left and right in the room, and there are still unpacked pens and inkstones beside some of the bamboo desks. Zheng Qiao walked around the bamboo house, pointing to the rotten bamboo curtains.
"There used to be a lotus pond outside."
Qi Cang is a rough man and can't say anything subtle.
said dryly: "It's quite interesting."
Zheng Qiao burst into a rare relaxed smile when he heard the words, different from the forbearance, insanity and cruelty of the past, this is the first time Qi Cang has seen it after serving Zheng Qiao for so many years. He asked: "My lord, what's so funny about this?"
"The lotus pond was dug by the students."
How is punishment not punishment?
Copying books is a punishment, and digging a lotus pond is also a punishment.
Zheng Qiao remembered that he was often angry because of his status when he was not yet ten years old, and he was not a character who was bullied and kept quiet. He often argued with others, and naturally he was punished.
He had a stinky face and was carrying a bamboo basket. The bamboo basket was not big, but it was full of mud, and the thick rope got stuck in his shoulders. With eyes full of disbelief, he reluctantly followed behind a few older classmates, going down the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"The teacher only asked people to build this bamboo house at first."
Qi Cang's mouth twitched slightly: "Then the other..."
"Punish students and punish them."
Qi Cang: "..."
"Creating tea in spring, listening to lotus in summer, watching chrysanthemums in autumn, enjoying snow in winter... those are the most relaxing years of my life." But I can't go back, "I was young, so the teacher arranged to sit in front , Well, this is the location..."
The bamboo case has not been covered by the collapsed roof.
Zheng Qiao bent down and groped under the bamboo case.
Take out two muddy and dusty stone sculptures, a small bird and a small fish. The little bird was lifelike, as if it could flap its wings in the next second, and the fish flicked its tail, as if Zheng Qiao could swim far in the water as soon as he let go.
He muttered: "They are still there."
click—
A tiny movement sounded so harsh in the bamboo house.
Qi Cang turned around abruptly and stood in front of Zheng Qiao. As a top student of the 16th class, he could naturally wave his sleeves and blast away Xiaoxiao in the dark with a burst of vigor. It's just that this place has a different meaning to the king, but it can't stand a little trouble.
"who?"
"get out!"
Qi Cang threatened.
jingle bell—
Only heard the crisp sound of jade and stone colliding, a pair of shoes were exposed behind the bamboo screen, followed by a piece of robe, looking up to see a hand with clear knuckles and fair complexion resting on the hilt of the sword. Zheng Qiao looked surprised when he saw the person coming.
"Senior Sister?"
It was Ning Yan who came.
After shouting, he realized something was wrong.
Ning Yan withdrew Yan Ling, who was hiding her aura, and her whole body was full of fresh literary energy, with a familiar Wenxin monogram on her waist.
Is this person Yan Xingning or Ning Tunan?
Zheng Qiao stood where she was, her hands in her sleeves tightened and then loosened.
My brain, which was not very easy to use, almost froze.
He asked: "Who are you?"
Why do you wear your brother's monogram while facing your senior sister's face?
Ning Yan also looked at Zheng Qiao with a complicated expression.
"Zheng Qiao, why do you want to disturb the cleanliness here?"
She just guessed by chance, but she didn't expect Zheng Qiao to be blocked. She thought that when she saw Zheng Qiao, she would be eager to draw her sword, but listening to his conversation with Qi Cang in secret, she also recalled the carefree school days in her mind.
Then hold down until now.
Zheng Qiao stared at the Wenxin monogram on Ning Yan's waist.
"Are you really Ning Tunan? Senior Sister Ning?"
He was convinced that the last time Ning Yan took her daughter into the palace as a hostage and beat Yan'an, she was still an ordinary person.
Zheng Qiao wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Qi Cang.
"Master, they still have people. Come out!"
There are three other people secretly, one of whom is an acquaintance.
Wei Shou looked at the atmosphere between the two sides, it didn't look like they would fight immediately, he laughed, Qi Cang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. The second one is a middle-aged scribe with an unfamiliar appearance, and the third one is a handsome young man.
The young man smiled and filled the room with light.
Zheng Qiao fixed her eyes for a long time and then smiled.
The smile is the madness that Qi Cang is familiar with.
However, the words came out surprisingly: "Junshou Shen is so courageous."
Intuition told him that the person in front of him was Shen Tang who had never met before, and the other party's response also confirmed his guess.
"Tunan and the others are coming over, I don't feel at ease to hold the line. If I don't even have the guts to do so, then I'm too inferior." Shen Tang crossed his arms and said, "Besides—wealth and wealth are in danger."
Shen Tang did not expect to see Zheng Qiao in this situation, and asked himself, the other party is much more beautiful than the rumors, with a natural beauty and a sense of brokenness, coupled with that kind of ruthlessness...
Beauty is beauty, it's too dangerous.
Zheng Qiao squinted her dangerous eyes, and said with a natural sarcasm: "I remember, I gave you a big gift before, so rich and noble, can't Shen Junshou be satisfied?"
Shen Tang said with a cheeky face: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and a little bit of petty profit is indeed unsatisfactory."
"So, I'm here right now?"

Tomorrow's Labor Day, add shiitake mushrooms to a hotter box lunch as much as possible, hehe.
PS: The title of the last chapter is the fault of Sogou Input Method. Shiitake has already found an editor, but the editor is on vacation. I guess she will have to wait for her to see it before helping to change it.
