339: Chaos in the Northwest (2) [seeking a monthly ticket]
"This Shen Tang is quite interesting..."
Zheng Qiao looked at the folding papers with gloomy eyes.
Suddenly he remembered Shen Tang's retreat from the Alliance Army last year. He was used to being arrogant and arrogant, so he didn't think much about it at that time. However, senior brother Yanan was worried and sent someone to test it out. The result was that there was no problem. If Shen Tang is really a confidant It was impossible for Yanan to hide the serious trouble. Looking at it now, it seemed that both of them had made a mistake.
Zheng Qiao's thoughts kept rolling.
He is wary of Shen Tang, but he has not yet developed the murderous intention to kill him - in Zheng Qiao's eyes, Shen Tang is the same as Wu Xian, Gu Ren and others, with some ability and charisma to recruit a group of people to follow him Let’s build a grass platform team together.
but--
After all, the Caotai Team is the Caotai Team.
Can't get on the stage.
He can jump up and down now, as if he is a person, but it is because Zheng Qiao is too distracted to pay attention to them. If the liquidation is really carried out and elite troops are sent to the border, it will only be a matter of time to wipe out these little thieves.
Zheng Qiao's biggest concern right now is the Pig King.
Deal with the pig king, turn around and clean up the fleas again.
Now, just think of them as fun.
Zheng Qiao pressed several folds.
At the court meeting on the second day, Zheng Qiao agreed to the request of the Shiwu envoy, and a flattering minister took the initiative to mention the children in his family. He understood the idea, so he named an unpopular concubine in the minister's family as the queen, and received her as a guest at the palace. marry.
Later, on the grounds that "the queen is young and cannot bear the pain of long journeys", she hinted to Shiwu's envoy to allow the prince who married Shiwu to come to pick up the bride and bring the "betrothal gift" with him. Zheng Qiao's intention was also quite obvious. .
He wants a betrothal gift of 100,000 elites.
The prince also came over to be a temporary hostage.
Only in this way can we show the sincerity of the alliance between the two companies.
Hearing this, the Shiwu envoy looked embarrassed, but under the other benefits promised by Zheng Qiao, he still gritted his teeth and agreed. In the end, he seemed to be a poor man who was being manipulated by a scumbag, and cautiously said: "... I have my best intentions, and I hope that the king will not Let down..."
Zheng Qiao's smile did not reach her eyes: "This is natural."
Yan'an looked at the two people with evil intentions indifferently. His abnormal silence made several courtiers who still protected the slightest hope to give up completely - Yan Xingning didn't even say a word, who else can stop Zheng Qiao from playing with fire and burning himself? Geng Guo is really brave. All done.
No one listened to their grief and anger.
During the few months when Shiwu and Beimo went back to consolidate their troops, the situation in the northwest became strangely calm, with only occasional minor conflicts breaking out. King She seemed to be aware of the slightest danger, and it became much quieter during this period, and the weather turned into summer in an instant. .
Heyin, Fugu City, the administrative center.
After Shen Tang finished processing a large pile of bamboo slips, he stretched out and looked at his wrists as if he had discovered a new world - to be precise, he looked at his sleeves. In his memory, clothes that fit well or were even too big. A little cramped.
In other words, she started to grow!
Shen Tang discovered his changes before summer began.
In order to observe the changes in her height, she made gestures on the wooden pillars of the main hall every now and then, leaving a height scratch with charcoal. Shen Tang looked left and right and saw no one, then secretly got up.
"Hehe, as expected, I have grown taller again..." What Shen Tang is most dissatisfied with about himself is definitely his height! Even Lin Feng, who is younger than him, seems to have taken a breath, and his figure has grown taller without realizing it. Soon he was on par with her or even overtaking her.
Shen Tang said nothing on the surface, but in fact he was very anxious.
I secretly used a lot of good tips for growing taller, including two eggs and a bowl of goat's milk every morning, and doing stretching exercises before going to bed.
Just when she was worried that she might not grow tall enough and wanted to be the height of her body, her body finally slowly entered a period of rapid growth. Every ten days and a half, she could grow a little taller, and her cheeks were soft and soft. gradually disappear.
As his eyebrows grow longer and deeper, his facial features become more beautiful and refined than before, making him a handsome young man.
I don’t have to worry about my height, but——
Shen Tang raised his hand and patted Yima Pingchuan's chest.
The palm of my hand could only touch my own breastbone. I thought about the brave warriors under my tent, and I was envious of them, but also greedy for a long time.
sigh.
Who doesn’t like a curvy figure?
Proud chest muscles are not as good as those of others.
"Such bouncy breasts..." ε=(′ο｀*))) Well, so many people have them, why is she the only one left out?
There was the sound of clothes rubbing against each other outside the house.
As the footsteps approached, Shen Tang lowered his hand.
Lin Feng came in carrying a food case.
"Mr. Lang, Zhongshi is here."
Putting it down, Shen Tang took a glance.
Good guy, it’s all meat!
Lin Feng opened the soup cup, and the aroma hit his nostrils.
Shen Tang saw that Lin Feng had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and his face was flushed by the sun. While sitting down, he took out a handkerchief and handed it over, saying: "For such a small matter as delivering food, Ling De can just leave it to others. You Why do you want to go there by yourself?"
Today's Lin Feng cannot tell his true age at all.
At first glance, I thought it was the year of cardamom.
"The teacher is afraid that Mr. Lang won't eat, so he asked Feng to come over and watch. He wants to watch you finish the meal without leaving even a drop of soup." Lin Feng wiped off the sweat with a handkerchief and took out the waist fan from his waist. , unfolded the bamboo surface to fan Shen Tang, "You are losing weight again."
Shen Tang: "..."
Even if she were a pig, she couldn't stand Chu Wuhui's feeding method. Three meals a day plus two snacks, all of which were meat. No matter how good Chu Yao was at cooking, she still felt a little tired of the meat.
"I've grown taller, and naturally I've lost weight."
He was growing so fast these days that his body, which was not thin at first, looked like a piece of paper. When Chu Yao came back from a business trip, he asked Chef Dong to kill a pig overnight, and personally cooked a whole pig feast for Shen Tang, and also told him The kitchen will bring you a lot of nourishing food every day.
I wish I could make up for the lost meat twice as much.
Shen Tang was worried that he would be fed into a fat man.
Lin's fan was blowing, and Shen Tang was immersed in cooking.
The cicadas were chirping in the courtyard.
Shen Tang rubbed her round belly, feeling as if food was stuck in her throat. While she was manually digesting food and watching Lin Feng clearing away the dishes, she suddenly remembered something: "Why hasn't Yuan Liang seen anyone recently? Count the time. , it’s time for Su Shang to have a baby, right?”
Cats' gestation period seems to be very short.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "My son was born just now."
"Qian'er? Why didn't I know?"
"Such a trivial matter is not worth occupying my husband's time." My husband is busy with official duties and often forgets to eat. Several other gentlemen also disappear for ten days and a half months when they are busy. They can occasionally think of them. They are good to each other.
Shen Tang was furious: "He obviously forgot."
If you have any questions, send a message directly to Qingniao.
Lin Feng didn't say anything.
After two breaths, Shen Tang asked again: "How many babies were born?"
Lin Feng said: "All nine of them survived."
This is very rare.
Su Shang was pregnant with nine babies for the first time.
Under normal circumstances, most of them will die young.
Mr. Qi stayed up all night to deliver the baby, carefully wrapping the kitten with Wenqi to maintain body temperature. Why did Lin Feng know so clearly? Because Lin Feng went to Chu Yao's morning class before dawn. Hearing the noise next door, he followed the teacher to watch
lively.
"Nine? So productive?"
Lin Feng recalled the appearance of those kittens.
He said: "Probably because he followed Cat's father, he is not as beautiful as Su Shang, and Mr. Qi is disgusted with her."
According to the teacher's popular science, this kitten should have three different biological fathers, which made Lin Feng stunned.
Will the kittens born out of the same mother have the same mother and father?
Chu Yao said: [Cats are like this.]
Lin Feng's curiosity sprouted: [Can people be like this? 】
Chu Yao: [It is said that there is, but those are all the contents of strange anecdotes. I don’t know whether they are true or not, and I can’t count them. 】
Fugu Meow was lying in the "delivery room" and was drowned by nine kittens. Qi Shan couldn't bear to see it and asked Chef Dong to cook a large pot of thick white crucian carp soup to nourish Su Shang and produce milk.
When her thoughts turned around, she heard her husband tsking and joking: "This Su Shang really doesn't understand his old father at all. He only has eight children and gave birth to nine cubs, and the remaining one is Yuan Liang, the new kid."
Grandpa helped feed it, right?"
Lin Feng was stunned and didn't understand at first.
When I understood, I blushed.
Shen Tang also noticed that he was so excited that he coughed awkwardly: "After I finish handling these official duties, I will go see Su Shang..."
By the way, I would like to express my condolences to the poor Grandpa Cat.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes.
Before Shen Tang had processed a few bamboo slips, Xu Jie came. This man is a very busy man now. The last time Shen Tang saw him was more than a month ago. He was busy with business in various places. He would only stop by Fugu for a few days when he was "replenishing goods".
day.
"O rare visitor, what brought the annotation here?"
"I've met Mr. Shen."
"Do you and I still use so many gifts? Wenzhi, sit down." Seeing Xu Jie's dusty days and his eyes still haggard and black, Shen Tang expressed concern in a joking tone, "Money is something you earn."
If it’s not finished, why don’t you take a rest?”
Xu Jie is so rich and yet he still works so hard.
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
Looking back at myself, the harder I work, the poorer and more unlucky I become.
Xu Jie's expression was unexpectedly solemn, and he said, "If it weren't for these reasons, has Mr. Shen heard anything recently?"
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment.
"Wind? What kind of wind?"
"Is there another war somewhere?"
In the past few months since the spring plowing began, Heyin has received four to five thousand refugees one after another. These refugees have brought a lot of work to Shen Tang. Fortunately, Heyin already has management experience and can arrange them according to the regulations.
.
Those who refuse to obey—
Shen Tang has never been used to them.
If you want to take root in her territory and be protected, you must follow her rules.
If there are criminals who commit crimes, they should be caught and killed, but they will not be spared just because they are homeless refugees. After using bloody methods, the situation will be calmed down quickly. Most of the refugees are still honest and honest.
, not noisy or noisy.
Shen Tang recruited them to work and gave them food and temporary shelter. He should be grateful for not driving them away.
If another group of refugees comes...
Shen Tang seemed to see a huge deficit.
Xu Jie shook his head: "It's not a war, it's an epidemic!"
When Shen Tang heard these two words, his heart beat wildly.
"Epidemic? Where did the epidemic break out?"
Nowadays, when medical treatment is backward, once the disease spreads, the number of casualties will be even greater than in a war.
There are only so many people under Shen Tang.
Can't withstand damage.
Xu Jie said: "It's Shangnan!"
"Shangnan? Gu Ren's territory?"
Shen Tang was not relieved when he heard this.
Then he asked: "Is it big? How is the situation?"
Xu Jie said: "I heard that the village has been closed down. The situation - I'm afraid it's not optimistic. The disease is coming fiercely..."
He was originally going to Shangnan to collect debts.
As soon as I arrived at the border, I heard a group of people chatting in a tea shop. They said that two villages were closely guarded by soldiers, and the roads leading from the villages to various places were guarded. Gu Ren's sixth brother, the former imperial doctor with superb medical skills, had already led People passed by.
Xu Jie immediately changed his course.
I went to Tianhai first to inform the news, and strictly guarded against people coming from the south. Following Wu Xian's arrangement, I came to Heyin again. Well, I wanted to buy some goods by the way. Spiritual wine is very popular in Tianhai, and every household comes here. I'm begging in a hurry.
Xu Jie used it to negotiate a lot of big business.
When Shen Tang heard this, his face became solemn.
Asked: "Have you found out the source of the epidemic?"
Xu Jie is cautious and well prepared.
"We don't know the specific information, but judging from the Jade Bird letter sent from the affected village, the source should be the refugees. They were the first to get sick, and it only took seven days from onset to death. When they died, they were covered in black and blue, with bruises all over their bodies. Zi, as skinny as a stick, as if something had sucked their essence and blood away. Sixteen people were initially sick, and none survived..."
At present, we only know that the disease was transmitted from the refugees, but we don’t know where the refugees contracted the disease...
"You'll die in seven days?"
Even Shen Tang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
My mind keeps recalling diseases that fit the symptoms.
With such a high fatality rate, people will become emaciated and their skin will appear blue, black and bruised after the disease occurs...
"Does the annotation tell us the origins of those refugees?"
Xu Jie shook his head: "I don't know."
His intelligence is not so strong that he knows everything.
All this information was obtained through his communication with various places.
Shen Tang secretly took a deep breath to suppress his thoughts.
"Thanks for the note."
No matter what, the most important thing is to take precautions first.
Refugees should also pay special attention...
Dozens of regulations for preventing epidemics emerged in Shen Tang's mind, but before she could work out the specific regulations, Lin Feng came back and brought a very bad news: "Lang Jun, Lang Jun——"
Seeing that Xu Jie was still there, he swallowed the rest of his words.
Shen Tang just gave a symbolic rebuke, gently exposing Lin Feng's rudeness: "What's the matter, are you so flustered?"
Lin Feng's eyes showed a burnt look.
"Yes, it's Azi..."
"What's wrong with her?"
"Azi suddenly vomited blood and fainted..." There was really no sign at all. She was so panicked that she said, "In addition to Azi, there are also Mr. Wan Lao and others..."
Mr. Wan Lao, whom Lin Feng talks about, is actually one of the old officials of Fugu Office. He has a rather old-fashioned personality. Although his abilities are mediocre, his execution ability is good. He is always the first to rush to the forefront of Shen Tang's orders. At his age, Working overtime is even harder than for young people.
If others try to persuade him, he will still get angry, thinking that the other person thinks he is old and can no longer do the work, so he insists on showing the certificate to others, almost like 007. Shen Tang sees that the old man has white hair and is still so aggressive. , couldn't help but persuade him to rest for two days.
After summer, he was ill for two days.
As soon as the disease recovers, come to the treatment center immediately.
Whenever anyone was concerned about his illness, he would confidently say that he was strong and could work for another ten to eight years.
Why are you vomiting blood?
Shen Tang thought of something almost immediately.
She looked at Xu Jie.
Xu Jie looked at him with an equally ugly expression.
