Hearing that these soldiers had nothing to do with him, Shen Tang's tense nerves relaxed, and he raised his hand to lower the sunshade. He sat in the corner and pretended to drink tea, trying to reduce his sense of presence: "Soldiers of the Geng Kingdom...why are they here? "
As soon as these words came out, Qishan almost choked on his tea.
This Mr. Shen Xiaolang really did not disappoint him, every problem was beyond his expectation.
“Where would the Geng Kingdom soldiers be if they weren’t here?”
Shen Tang: "..."
Her intuition told her that she seemed to have asked a stupid question.
Shen Tang tried to save it.
"But this shouldn't be Chongtai, no, the Xin Kingdom? How could the soldiers of the Geng Kingdom..."
As she spoke, she stopped first, covering her eyes with one hand without saying anything, and did not look at Qi Shan's look at him as a fool - she remembered that Qi Shan had said that the State of Xin was destroyed and the national seal was suspected of being destroyed. The news about the Gong family's hiding - At that time, all the attention was on the national seal and the Gong family, and I never thought about who was the force that destroyed the Xin Kingdom.
Now when I look at it again, it is nine out of ten that it is the Geng Kingdom.
This question fully exposed her "naivety and ignorance". Fortunately, Qi Shan was used to Shen Xiaolangjun's "unexpectedness" and did not delve into it further.
Shen Tang was embarrassed: "I... don't know much about these..."
"It's not too late to understand now." Qi Shan smiled half-heartedly, tapped his finger on the table three times, and silently recited the words "The Dharma cannot be transmitted to the six ears." The invisible literary energy surged up and disappeared without a trace, "Shen Xiaolangjun At a glance, you can tell that you are a nobleman who is raised by nobles and nobles. I can understand. You are quite good. Other dandy boys may be more ignorant and fearless. Knowing that the country’s enemies hate the family and the people’s livelihood is suffering?”
Shen Tang: "..."
As long as she doesn't take her seat, Qi Shan is not talking about her.
Shen Tang said shamelessly: "That's what Mr. Qi said."
Qi Shan looked bored. He had also been unable to control his emotions just now——
The Geng Kingdom annihilated the Xin Kingdom, a three-year-old boy, and all the farmers in the fields knew about it. But in front of him, Shen Xiaolangjun, who had a close connection with the Gong family, actually acted like a fool and said he didn't know.
He didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
Shen Tang lowered his head to drink tea with a guilty conscience.
"However, the Xin Kingdom and the Geng Kingdom are all the same, and it makes no difference whether they are destroyed or not. To the people, it is just that the mountain above their heads has changed from a faint king to a tyrant..."
Shen Tang was surprised after hearing this.
She glanced at the soldiers of the Geng Kingdom outside the tea shop, and was relieved when she saw that they did not notice them: "Listening to what Mr. Qi said, you have a lot of opinions about the destroyed Xin Kingdom, but didn't you say before..."
When the two met for the first time, Qi Shan was spiteful because she was "a descendant of the Gong family." Her words hinted that the Gong family had something to do with the destruction of the Xin Kingdom and that she had hidden the national seal. Shen Tang also thought that Qi Shan loved her motherland. , now that I hear it, it doesn’t mean that.
Qi Shan lazily raised his eyelids.
"The two are not in conflict."
Seeing that he had no intention of continuing the conversation, Shen Tang had no choice but to change the topic and make insinuations in an attempt to learn more about the world. She pointed to the top of her head: "Mr. Geng Guo has such a low opinion of him?"
The Xin Kingdom was destroyed, and the princes and kings were stupid and should take the blame. It is not an exaggeration to call him a "faint king". However, the power of the Geng Kingdom was strong, and the princes and kings expanded their territory during their reign. Qi Shan's evaluation was actually a "tyrant"?
Qishan sneered: "If that is not a tyrant, which prince and king cannot be called a 'benevolent lord'? Look, if the tyrant Zheng Qiao does not die within five years, the Geng Kingdom will surely destroy itself."
Shen Tang's Bagua energy came up.
"Where exactly is the 'violence'?"
Qi Shan was about to popularize science when a loud scream came from the prison car outside the tea shop, and soon there was only the sound of whipping and screams. Shen Tang looked out through the gap in the bamboo curtain of the tea shop and could vaguely see the prison car. There was blood dripping from one corner.
Another prisoner cursed angrily: "Even if you beat me to death, I will still say, Zheng Qiao, you are a sycophant and a cheap [breed], let me lose my father-in-law, wear sackcloth and wear filial piety, and live in the dream of your ancestors!" I'll play gongs and drums for you, a coward!"
This dear man has white hair, a muscular body, and speaks with great energy and a voice like thunder.
Shen Tang watched the literature of another world and cursed people for the first time.
Awesome!
Of course the Geng soldiers would not let him yell and curse.
He immediately hit him with a whip, and with a single swipe, there was a trace of blood. The man gritted his teeth and did not let out a scream or beg for mercy. The harder he hit him, the more vigorously he cursed.
The soldier was beaten until he was about to die. The soldier gasped and spat at the prisoner in the prison car: "Unlucky old guy!"
"Mr. Shen Xiaolang just asked 'Where is the tyrant?' Didn't you see it?" Qi Shanxu pointed in the direction outside the tea shop. Worried that Shen Tang wouldn't understand, he started from the beginning, "Zheng Qiao is what he is today." The lord of the Geng Kingdom, he entered the harem of the Xin Kingdom as a hostage with his biological mother at the age of five. It is said that he was smart and studious since he was a child, and he was born with a natural beauty. "
"Is the leader of Xin Kingdom seriously ill?"
Qishan said: "He is indeed sick, incompetent and lustful. He accidentally targeted the female concubine of another country, who is Zheng Qiao's biological mother. He used clever means to rob her, and even gave her a proton, Zheng Qiao."
"This Zheng Qiao is pitiful..."
Qishan laughed at her naivety and asked, "Do you think Zheng Qiao was forced by power and did it as a last resort?"
"Is not it?"
You would subconsciously think that it was a foolish king who took something by force, right?
Qishan shook his head regretfully: "If so, Zheng Qiao would be pitiful, but unfortunately not. He is very good at killing people with a borrowed knife. In those years, he killed many loyal ministers and eradicated dissidents. Those who offended him were called sycophants, and those who were favored by others were not allowed to do so. Often you will be imprisoned, and no matter whether you are unjustly convicted or not, you will have to undergo the death penalty."
What is "death penalty by breaking the government"?
It was the cruel method of destroying the Dan Mansion. The destruction of the Dan Mansion's literary, moral, and martial arts was irreversible, even if the verdict was overturned later. Zheng Qiao also bullied the weak and feared the strong, and only killed targets from poor families with no background or weak foundation.
I don’t know how many promising soldiers and warriors were destroyed.
In the early years of the Xin State, the situation was relatively stable and the national strength was not weak. Even if there was a foolish king who did not go to court 365 days a year, spent all day in the harem, worked on women, and secretly ordered people to go everywhere to find beauties, the days of the common people were It’s not like I can’t survive.
But after Zheng Qiao appeared, everything became chaotic day by day.
After that, King Geng had an internal turmoil, and he thought of Zheng Qiao, who was staying as a hostage in another country. Zheng Qiao also had ambitions, and was unwilling to accept the status quo, so he used money and prospects to win over the courtiers of the Xin Kingdom. After a successful operation, the leader of the Xin Kingdom let him go. Return home.
In just five years, the Geng Kingdom took advantage of the Xin Kingdom's drought and low military strength. They launched a sneak attack and marched all the way to the royal city. Every time they conquered a place, they allowed the soldiers to burn, kill, loot, and rob the women of the people. Then he humiliated the old ministers of Xin State in every possible way.
"Speaking of which, Zheng Qiao still has a connection with the Gong family."
Shen Tang's scalp went numb when he heard this.
She really doesn't know this.
However, Qishan even said it with a smile.
"At that time, the Gong family was the main force supporting Zheng Qiao's return to the Geng Kingdom. What's interesting is that the Gong family was confiscated and exterminated. The men were sent to the border to serve as coolies, and the female family members were sent to Xiaocheng Jiaofang. This was Zheng Qiao's victory over King Xin. The first order issued by the city."
