The wine on the food table of the strategist was untouched, and the dishes were only touched with two chopsticks. From the beginning of the reception banquet until he was called by Shen Tang, this person was quietly with his head lowered. He did not say a word or say a word. There was a sound, and the sense of existence was extremely weak.
He raised his head when he heard this.
Showing a gentle and kind face.
Yes, gentle and kind.
It seems that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows have been carefully polished, and they are so rounded that there are no edges. He has a short, carefully trimmed beard, is delicate and elegant, and has a steady temperament. At first glance, he looks like a handsome middle-aged man who has read poetry and books with a bookish atmosphere.
In layman’s terms——
If this person appeared in a TV series, he would be absolutely decent!
The only shortcoming is that this person is not a tall person, and because his temperament is too harmless, it even makes people think that this guy is a bit weak. Neither his appearance nor temperament and body shape are the type that Governor Lu loves.
With Governor Lu's reckless temperament, he would never let someone who didn't suit him sit in the second-in-command position.
I still have some confidence in this.
Shen Tang didn't wait for the middle-aged man to react, turned around with a smile and asked Governor Lu: "Can Mr. Lu help introduce me?"
Sheriff Lu: "..."
He looked at Shen Tang and then at the man.
He moved his lips but didn't speak.
For some reason, the atmosphere became inexplicably stiff.
There is also a vague aura of chilling danger.
Shen Tang laughed and laughed: "Why are Mr. Lu so stingy? I'm just asking, and I don't intend to pry anyone out of your hands... As for these treasures, they don't even want to introduce them... Sigh."
Sheriff Lu twitched his lips.
But still didn't say anything.
For some reason, the staff member who warmly entertained everyone turned slightly green, and his forehead was sweating like liquid. Big beads of sweat came out from under his skin and rolled down. Some of them hung on his chin, dripping down and wet his sleeves, and some of them were stuck to his neck. Slide into the neck.
The Adam's apple rolls nervously.
When everyone's attention was not on him, he turned his back to wipe the sweat. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was sweating and trembling, and even his breathing was disordered.
At this moment, the middle-aged strategist spoke.
Even his voice is as refined as this man's appearance.
He said: "I'm Jiang Sheng, I'll post it first."
Shen Tang didn't seem to notice the subtle atmosphere just now, and asked him with a smile: "But the 'first to capture the flag' first? Mr. Jiang is a good name, but it doesn't match your temperament. It sounds quite a bit... The murderous spirit..."
The middle-aged strategist asked Shen Tang: "What is your temperament?"
Shen Tang kept talking, with a familiar attitude: "Mr. Jiang is handsome and elegant, which makes people happy to see him. He is very kind. When I see you, I feel that you should hold the letter in your hand, look at the moon in the wind, and never eat. Fireworks in the world.”
As soon as these words came out, the smile lines in the corners of the middle-aged strategist's eyes deepened, but the smile did not penetrate deep into his eyes.
Sheriff Lu and his staff looked gloomy, looking at Shen Tang as if they were saying, "When did you become blind?"
Jiang Sheng picked up the wine and wanted to drink it, but he didn't know what he thought of and put it down: "You don't want to eat the fireworks of the world? Shen Jungao looks down on him, even if he is a character that only exists in the market... What you see with your eyes is just a stinker... …”
"If the skin smells bad, is this person still alive?"
Shen Tang's eyes were full of sincerity, as if these words came from inner doubts rather than yin and yang.
Middle-aged strategist: "..."
Shen Tang looked at the middle-aged strategist with burning eyes.
He turned to Commander Lu and said, "The more I look at Mr. Jiang, the more I like him. Can Commander Lu give up my love?"
Sheriff Lu sneered: "Do you want to die?"
Shen Tang pouted: "If I don't cut it, I won't cut it. It's just a joke... How come you can't even make such a joke?"
Sheriff Lu seemed to be about to speak but stopped.
Finally, I had to swallow what I wanted to say.
He drank a lot of tea. Judging from his stinky face, he was in a very bad mood at this time. He just had a sign written on his face: "Whoever messes with me will die."
Shen Tang held his chin and watched the singing and dancing for a while.
She started to find fault again, looking for trouble.
Question: "Is this the dancing girl and musical actress you raised in your house?"
Sheriff Lu said angrily: "So what?"
Shen Tang said: "They don't dance well. Their steps, dance movements and music sounds are not right. It makes people's eyes hurt when they watch them."
Jiang Sheng seemed to be interested.
"Shen Jun is still proficient in music theory?"
Chu Yao, who was quietly eating the food with his head down, froze his fingers. Zhao Feng noticed his abnormality and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Chu Yao quickly returned to normal.
It’s just that the frequency of picking up chopsticks has become much higher.
He said: "Nothing."
There is a strange little secret in the Heyin Government Office - the music theory taught by Governor Shen has a magical effect on losing weight.
Those who heard it said that three days of eating was tasteless.
After Chu Yao finished speaking, he heard his lord say very confidently: "The song is wrong, Zhou Langgu is probably at this level!"
Jiang Sheng actually believed it.
How dare you touch Porcelain Zhoulang without a few brushes?
Shen Tang glanced at the dancers and musicians, waved her hand, and motioned for them all to get down and give the stage to her! Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere of the reception banquet, she allowed her to show off her skills to everyone.
Chu Yao was stunned when he saw it, and for a moment he couldn't care that this might be the Hongmen Banquet instead of the Jingfeng Banquet.
He tried to stop him so eagerly that he almost broke his voice.
"Lord!"
I just usually enjoy myself in the official office.
For the sake of my master, there is no harm in wearing wider belts.
However, family scandals should not be made public!
If it's a real performance, it won't take long for Shangnan, Tianhai and Yiru to know what their master's music theory level is.
They might be able to laugh for three years!
But Chu Yao still underestimated Shen Tang's confidence in herself. She waved her hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter."
Chu Yao: "..."
At this moment, he was praying in his heart——
If God could hear his voice, something would happen, for example, Governor Lu and his team would reveal their flaws!
Shen Tang just put the jade flute to his mouth.
Chu Yao had already turned his face away in despair.
However, at this critical moment!
There was a bang.
The roof was broken by a burst of martial energy.
As the rubble and sawdust fell, a young man in dark brown clothes jumped down from the entrance of the cave. Everyone in the hall woke up after hearing the words and acted on guard. County Sheriff Lu was startled at first, when he saw the figure carried on the young man's shoulders. , shoot the case and get up!
The figure looked thin and delicate.
Isn't it the apple of his eye?
At this time, he was covered in blood.
Among everyone, Jiang Sheng was the only one who did not move.
Grains
Shen Tang looked surprised: "Shaoxuan?"
The person who came was Bai Su, who was holding a sword in her right hand and fighting with her left hand. At this time, her face was extremely gloomy. After seeing the situation in the hall clearly, she decisively threw him to Zhao Feng, retreated to Shen Tang, and transformed into another sword. , said sternly: "Lord, there is a fraud!"
Sheriff Lu had a sullen face and made no move.
He just stared at Jiang Sheng with big round copper bell eyes, and asked Bai Su: "Where did you kidnap this man from?"
When Bai Su heard this, he seemed surprised and suspicious.
She said: "What 'abduction'? It's obviously a rescue!"
Shen Tang asked: "Shaoxuan, what's going on?"
Bai Su: "I just passed by a house and smelled the smell of blood, and there were people calling for help. I rushed in and took a look. What do you think my subordinates saw? Dozens of women, children and men were killed, and the only survivor was killed by his elder brother. Only by protecting her did she save her life. After my subordinates rescued her, they found out that this person was the youngest daughter of Lu County Governor, and that the Luxia County Office had been breached..."
Speaking of this, everyone turned to Governor Lu and asked him to give an explanation for this matter.
Shen Tang lowered his tone: "Is it true or false?"
Sheriff Lu didn't say a word.
At this moment, a huge fire broke out in the direction of the temporary camp. Outside the house, hundreds of fierce men armed with knives and axes rushed out from the back hall and surrounded everyone. Not only that, firewood was set up outside the house at some point, and several people were fired. Hundreds of archers are ready to attack. Even a blind man can tell from this posture that it is the Hongmen Banquet.
Shen Tang's expression did not change.
She tapped the jade flute on her palms with great interest.
Asked Governor Lu: "Why do you and I have an alliance like this?"
You came all the way to come to the rescue, and this is the treatment?
Governor Lu's mind echoed Bai Su's previous words - Dozens of women, children and men were murdered! Only one person was left alive!
The scenery before my eyes flickered on and off several times.
I feel so angry that I can't bear to live, and my seven orifices produce smoke.
The anger broke through the limit, but he regained some sense, but his eyes were scarlet and covered with frightening bloodshot eyes, and his facial features looked ferocious like an evil ghost under the impact of anger.
"Ah——" He struggled to open his sore mouth, his voice was like a furious beast, his martial energy was out of control and the waves of air surged, causing Bai Su's face to turn pale in an instant. He felt better after being protected by Shen Tang's literary energy, "You, you—— Take your life!!!”
Shen Tang secretly wondered what kind of nonsense this was. Just as he was about to take action, he saw Governor Lu's red eyes flash to the side of his staff, and he raised his palm and smashed his Tianling Cap. The staff didn't even have time to beg for mercy, and then died. To the underworld.
Shen Tang could roughly guess something after looking at this.
This staff member is probably a collaborator.
The bandits also used the family members of the governor of Lu County or the common people in the city as leverage to coax Shen Tang and other reinforcements into the city, intending to catch them all. However, if this was a normal ancient world, they might actually be able to do it.
But this world doesn’t care about science.
Each of the more than 10,000 reinforcements can fight five against one.
The bandits and the reinforcements were not familiar with the situation in the city, and both sides had the same starting point. Shen Tang was still on guard, which eliminated their first-mover advantage in sneak attacks, and they voluntarily gave up the natural advantage of defending the city...
Bow strings buzzed outside the house.
Countless rockets were fired into the hall.
Chu Yao directly raised the Wenqi City Wall.
Several people who had been drinking and partying at the table also got up one after another. Looking at their strong bodies and their moves as fast as lightning, how could they look like they were delayed by alcohol?
"It's too small here, go out and fight!"
These ambush soldiers armed with swords and axes are just like the previous warriors with heavy shields, their faces are numb, and they are brave and unafraid of death. If they are to get close to them, it will be extremely disadvantageous for one's own side. Zhao Feng and several brave warriors are even more reckless - the enemy has great people ?
They have people too!
One person can recruit hundreds of subordinates!
The Wuqi soldiers immediately formed a human wall to block the ambush group, but the moment the two clashed, Zhao Feng's expression changed. The strength of these ambush soldiers was no less than that of a third-class hairpin.
Coupled with the desperate posture of one after another——
Shen Tang split the roof with one sword.
The ambush attack outside the house became increasingly intensive.
The blazing flames swallowed up the flames and swept through the entire banquet hall in an instant. Sheriff Lu used a blade with strong martial energy to split open the two ambush soldiers, followed by several more people attacking him. All he could see with his eyes was the old god who was still sitting upright. Jiang Sheng.
"Ginger! Go first! Get on!" He roared and hacked at the seemingly endless ambush, "You bastard Chaos!"
Shen Tang and his group had already jumped onto the roof.
She said: "Chief Lu, don't be obsessed with fighting!"
However, the governor of County Lu did not listen.
The ambush soldiers also rushed up.
Shen Tang directly changed the position of one of the ambush soldiers with Governor Lu, and grabbed the person to meet them at the temporary camp. Although she was very relieved about Kang Shi and the others, under the premise of taking precautions, the group of refugees and grass bandits would not be able to do anything. It doesn't pose much of a threat, but the intensity of the fire is still a bit worrying.
Sheriff Lu didn't want to accept this favor.
There was a hint of ferocity on his face covered with blood, and he said sternly and resolutely: "I'll stay here to end my reign!"
Shen Tang said: "What are you talking about? Joining up with the large army to kill the bandits and retaking the city is the right thing to do! Fuck, let me just say you are unreliable. Since the government has been captured, can you give me some hints? , our cooperation inside and outside is much better than now - you still lied to me, is this how the alliance is cheated?"
It's one thing to be prepared.
But that doesn't mean you don't care about being attacked.
It's just a difference in the size of the loss.
Seeing the flames of war rising everywhere and the constant pursuit of troops behind him, County Sheriff Lu said cruelly: "I can't help you with this matter. I will definitely repay my kindness in the next life. If you still have the energy to get out of trouble this time, please help me." Take care of the common people and the little girls in the city - they have a grudge against me, and I won't live in peace until I kill a few more!"
He has fought against these bandits.
I know how difficult they are and how numerous they are.
One person must stay behind to delay.
There is no other candidate for this choice except him
After saying that, he secretly transported a burst of martial energy to retreat to the opposite direction of the pursuers. His face was a bit darker and more frightening! A crack was cut with the long knife in his hand, and the martial energy was filled with murderous intent and condensed into a wall of feet. There are walls more than ten feet high.
He stood in the middle of the road.
"Those who cross the line will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, his cheeks became unusually flushed.
With his excellent eyesight, Shen Tang could see what this guy wanted to do at a glance - he made the same choice as Captain Yang, leaving no regrets or room for himself. And Shen Tang couldn't be like the leader. Return to Captain Yang and take him away. The only thing we can do is to consolidate our forces and recapture the Luxia Administrative Office!
"I wish you good luck in martial arts!"
A group of ambush soldiers didn't care about the people blocking their way.
If there is someone, then kill him.
At this time, Governor Lu seemed to have returned to his original nature. There was no trace of aggression in the surrounding atmosphere, and there was no trace of the previous anger and murderous intent. His eyes were indifferent. He was just looking at the ambush soldiers, as if he were looking at hundreds of insignificant corpses.
He stepped forward.
One step, two steps, three steps...
He was getting closer and closer to the ambush.
The two were about to confront each other. Sheriff Lu's figure suddenly flashed and disappeared like smoke, replaced by blood flowers exploding on the spot, broken limbs and an ominous martial aura. In the blink of an eye, several people in the front row The Ten Ambush Soldiers couldn't even utter a scream, so they took their number tags and walked onto Huangquan Road.
Wherever the blade passes, there will be an enemy's blood debt!
However, the person Governor Lu wants to kill the most is——
Jiang Sheng!
Jiang Xiandeng!
The middle-aged strategist stood on the ridge of the roof, looking indifferently at the ambushes lying down like waves of wheat, as well as the almost bloody Sheriff Lu. He turned his eyes away indifferently.
"Why did you betray me?"
"Why did Governor Lu betray Luxia County?"
The body twisted and dissipated, rushing to the real battlefield.
