"What? Qianzhou Granary?"
Shen Tang's voice suddenly rose several times, and even Ning Yan outside the house could hear it. Even Shen Tang, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't control her cracked expression. It's not to blame for her poor concentration, it was really Xie Qi's one-hand operation. It's totally unexpected.
She immediately lowered her voice and asked again: "Is this serious?"
"It's absolutely true. I would like to pledge my head to Mr. Shen." This is the biggest political bargaining chip of Xie Qi. It was originally used to prepare for emergencies, but the plan failed to keep up with the changes. Now that it can be put to use, it is considered a blessing. Things have been used to their full potential.
Shen Tang looked not very happy.
She frowned and put down the object in her hand: "Zheng Qiao is so guarded and unlikely to truly trust anyone. Isn't Shi Zang worried that this is his old trap? He took the initiative to let your family leave. This behavior It’s inherently doubtful.”
Xie Qi was shocked: "Mr. Shen, is he suspicious of Xie?"
Shen Tang hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "No, no, no, no, I don't mean that. Although I don't dare to boast about my sharp eyesight, I haven't misjudged anyone in these years. Shi Zang is a person I can trust, and I am glad that you are willing to work with me." I confide in you... It’s just that Zheng Qiao is insidious and I have to be on guard. He may indeed use Shi Zang to plot against me. This matter should not be taken lightly."
Xie Qi calmed down after hearing this and secretly sweated.
Shen Tang's worries are not unreasonable.
It was indeed Zheng Qiao who could do it.
This guy likes to throw out a handful of bait to lure the fat fish to the bait. Who can guarantee that Xie Qi is not the bait that Zheng Qiao deliberately released to catch the fat fish Shen Youli? Xie Qi's heart surged, and he blamed himself on his face : "It's really a lack of thought."
Shen Tang smiled and thanked him with relief: "Shi Zang doesn't need to belittle himself, it's just my guess. No matter how powerful Zheng Qiao is, he is just a lonely man after betrayal and separation. Even though there are countless minds, one person can't do everything for the shortcomings. , my mind is racing. I’m just curious, how does Shizang know the location of this batch of grain and grass? Doesn’t it mean that Zheng Qiao is suspicious? "
Xie Qi had already collected his emotions and replied: "No matter how suspicious he is, he can't do everything by himself."
Zheng Qiao is not a diligent character, and he has nothing to do with him. What Zheng Qiao is best at is threatening those who can do the work to help him. If he does well, he will continue to do it. If he does not do well, he may kill him at any time to vent his anger. It just so happens that he is not a diligent person. Xie Qi is the one who has the ability to do a good job without beeping. This means that although he is laid off as a waiter, he has never been dismissed by Zheng Qiaoga, and his life is still good.
He also has access to many confidential matters.
However, Xie Qi knew that this kind of comfort was only temporary. As Zheng Qiao's condition worsened day by day, and the Dragon Slaying Bureau from the outside world was looking at him with eager eyes. Due to internal and external troubles, Zheng Qiao would lose his life sooner or later.
If you have a chance to escape, of course you have to take the first step.
Shen Tang: "..."
Fortunately, she still imagined that Xie Qi had stolen secrets before leaving, and all this was a drama that Zheng Qiao had expected. She forgot that Xie Qi, as a laborer, might be exposed to secrets in his job content. Now , but she was not sure anymore.
The thank you gift is too tempting.
She hesitated for a moment and swayed.
He sighed: "This is too difficult to handle."
“If the granary can be taken down, Zheng Qiao will definitely lose this game!” granary……"
In theory, you don't need too many elites.
The investment is nothing compared to the income.
Shen Tang sighed and asked Xie Qi: "Why burn the granary? Why burn the granary?"
Xie Qi and Shen Tang looked at each other, confused.
"How can we win without destroying the food and grass and cutting off its roots?"
Shen Tang did not agree with the move of thanking the utensils. She sighed: "There is a saying in the saying: Who knows that every grain of food is hard work. It is already a disaster year, and the forces in various places are only focused on fighting each other. How can we control people's livelihood? Fight wars. Not only that, how can the common people farm with peace of mind? Previously, Zheng Qiao had built a strong wall in Yanzhou to clear the fields, not only destroying spring plowing, but also plundering grain from various places and taking away all the young and strong. The old and weak left behind were helpless and could only wait for death in despair. If Burning the Qianzhou granary will be like sending these people to a dead end."
I'm sorry for the hardships of people's lives.
Even if reason told Shen Tang that burning down the granary was the least costly method, and it was also the move that would most damage Zheng Qiao's troops and quickly undermine their morale. But when he thought about the lives involved in food, how could Shen Tang bear it? Burning food was tantamount to killing people.
Xie Qi's face turned a little pale when he heard this.
He only thought about the benefits this bargaining chip could bring him.
He had never considered what Shen Tang said.
Even though Xie Qi didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea, he actually felt a little ashamed when facing Mr. Shen who spoke sincerely.
"I don't mean to blame you, this is my problem. I am not decisive in killing, and even a little too indecisive... Shizang, you are just fulfilling your duty as a planner." Shen Tangyi. He sighed in frustration and blamed himself.
Xie Qi panicked and said, "Shen Jun must not think like that."
The young man in front of me is too sincere and kind, but this is not wrong. They are violent and decisive enough like Zheng Qiao, but has their existence changed the world for the better?
People's livelihood is in decline, and wars continue.
Because of the banquet, Xie Qi also paid some attention to Shen Tang. He knew that Shen Tang had nothing to do with the word "indecisive". She had a compassionate heart but also had angry eyes. There are two different things between having a kind heart and having an overflowing kind heart. a concept.
With Zheng Qiao as the control group, Shen Tang is emotionally stable and kind-hearted, so it is not too suitable for him.
Shen Tang's eyes fell on the "dowry" on the table.
He said: "Let's plan this matter slowly."
The location of the granary is most likely real. Even if Zheng Qiao had planned it carefully, it would be impossible to move so much food in just a few days. The benefits this time are enough for Shen Tang to take a risk. But - there is a shortage of manpower at the moment, otherwise he really wants to Open your mouth and bite.
He bowed his hands and said, "Wei."
After Shen Tang came out, he touched the furry heads of Xie Qi's two daughters and said a few words of good luck. These two children were not afraid of life. The younger one looked up at her and looked directly at her for a moment. Shen Tang smiled and asked: " Why are you looking at me like this?"
Mrs. Xie Qi's heart was hanging in a knot.
She is afraid that her daughter's poor performance will leave a bad impression on others.
Unexpectedly, the youngest daughter said: "Shen Jun is so handsome. Can I touch your face? You touched my head too."
Shen Tang squatted half down and stretched out his face: "Here, let's touch it."
The little daughter touched her cheek very carefully. This scene made Mrs. Xie Qi's blood pressure surge and her heartstrings tighten.
Before Shen Tang left, he did not forget to tell him: "You sisters must study hard and practice with Master Ning. When you grow up, you can become a pillar and bring benefits to the people of the world."
The two girls nodded seriously to remember.
Gu Chi had been waiting for Shen Tang for a long time and joked: "Will the 'dowry' brought by this newcomer Xie Shizang win the Lord's heart?"
Shen Tang complained: "You can watch it but not use it! Wang Chao, can you stop using this metaphor? It sounds like I am a peerless scumbag who covets the bride's dowry... ah no, scumbag..."
Gu Chi smiled but said nothing.
However, his eyes seemed to say nothing.
Shen Tang: "...I am so lucky to have you!"
"A blessed man should serve a blessed master. Speaking of which, the relationship between the lord and Chi can be considered a 'snatching and plundering', right?"
Isn't this some compensation?
Shen Tang: "..."
Gu Chi couldn't help but laugh, and stopped Shen Tang before he got angry. At the same time, he reminded Shen Tang: "Oh, by the way, Shi Zang doesn't know that the master is a daughter. I'm afraid the couple will be in trouble for two days when they go back. ."
There are question marks on Shen Tang's forehead.
"Shizang should be quite satisfied with me and have returned home."
Why do you have to wreak havoc for two days?
Could it be that she was singing and chanting too hard just now?
Gu Chi burst out laughing, but refused to tell him why.
As he expected, Mrs. Xie Qi frowned for no reason not long after she returned, making Xie Qi confused.
The two daughters successfully became apprentices, and the younger daughter also booked a good teacher. The future of the three daughters was guaranteed, but he couldn't understand why the wife was still unhappy. After some insinuations, the wife said in embarrassment: "How old is Mr. Shen..."
Xie Qi said: "Young talents have ambitions that are not due to their age."
Madam Who Guessed: "Mr. Shen hasn't got an engagement yet, right?"
Xie Qi was puzzled: "Ask this... Do you want to protect your lord's matchmaking? Don't make random decisions about this matter, or you may annoy others."
The lady pinched the soft flesh around his waist and said, "Who said you want to provide a matchmaker for Mr. Shen? What I mean is that Mr. Shen is so young and has not yet been engaged, and our daughter is talented... Look at today, Mr. Shen treats them Very kind..."
Thank you: "..."
Becoming the new father-in-law?
If there is a fate, it is not impossible.
The lady was furious: "You can do whatever you want!"
Xie Qi said: "Not to mention that this matter has not happened yet. Even if it does happen, it will be too late to snatch it away with such good conditions as my lord."
Madam, however, is very angry.
"It's no fun talking to you!"
She hopes that her daughter will be Ningtunan!
The couple's voices woke up their second daughter who was still asleep next door. Most people in this era are precocious. She said calmly: "Isn't Mr. Shen a girl?"
Why do you think of Mr. Shen when choosing a son-in-law?
Xie Qi and his wife: "???"
Their daughter's question echoed over and over in their minds.
The second daughter said confusedly: "Isn't it?"
Shen Jun is the most beautiful female monarch she has ever seen. She is good-looking, soft-spoken, and stronger than her father. She is also her father's new master. She wants to be like this person. If her husband-in-law is like Shen Jun, It seems to be a good thing too.
Xie Qi and his wife: "..."
The lady looked at Xie Qi: "Female? Female?"
Xie Qi struggled to answer: "...I don't know."
Because of their second daughter's unintentional words, the couple tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night. It wasn't until dawn the next day that the teacher Ning Yan came to the door and thanked her carefully. Ning Yan said: "Shi Zang, you are the best Know?"
Thank you: "..."
Can he know that Shen Tang’s daughter is pregnant with a ghost!
Ning Yan laughed at him: "Aren't you too narrow-minded to trick Dawei's identity? Why did you become blind when you came in front of the lord?"
Thank you: "..."
He really didn't expect it.
Ning Yan smiled and said: "My lord has always believed that forceful melons are not sweet. If Shizang you think it is shameful to have a woman as your master, you still have time to regret it, and my lord will not blame you."
Xie Qi's face turned as black as ashes on the bottom of a pot.
If he backs off now, his wife will tear him apart with her bare hands, which will also affect the future of his three daughters.
Xie Qi said: "When will Xie regret it?"
All the beauties were once his masters, so what about women?
He vaguely understood the secret of Ning Yan's and other women's cultivation, but these were no longer important.
Because the Cunshan city defense was well-armed to the teeth, Zheng Qiao only sent people to guard against it instead of sending troops to attack. Shen Tang had a leisurely two days. In comparison, the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces were not so good. Feeling at ease...
Huang Lie generously shared the Hercules Pill with his allies. For everyone, this thing was good, but it was more life-consuming.
At first I thought Huang Lie was being alarmist, but after actually using a group of people, I realized that what he said was true, and the success rate was indeed only 10%. Did they give up because of this? Of course not.
This has to do with the composition of the army.
The ones with the strongest combat capabilities are naturally the elite of each branch, well-equipped, rich in combat experience, obedient to orders, and those with high standards can even execute absolute orders and prohibitions. However, those are only a minority. A considerable number of them are urgently recruited cannon fodder.
The levels are uneven, and the equipment and weapons are even rudimentary.
Then why bring them to the battlefield?
Naturally, their numbers are large and they can provide morale.
The members of the coalition forces are naturally reluctant to let their elites take Hercules Pills, which will not improve them much. On the contrary, the soldiers at the bottom are different.
Their physiques are average, their combat power is weak, and their mentality is not good. They are the most easily overcome weaknesses on the battlefield. If they take Hercules Pills, it will be enough to produce a heavy-shield warrior level out of ten, which is extremely cost-effective. Having said this, everyone was extremely envious and jealous of Huang Lie. During the civil turmoil that year, how many homeless grass bandits regarded Huang Lie as their savior and followed him?
No matter how many Hercules Pills you refine, you won't have to worry about no one eating them.
The soldiers are all ordinary people, how can they know the plans of the higher-ups?
When Kang Shi, Gu Ren and others heard the news, they were silent for a long time.
I had the same emotion for a while.
Few of their allies are human.
Slay the dragon?
It's just dog bite dog.
But what Kang Shi didn't expect was that these allies were not punished. Instead, he was sued. The man came with unkempt hair and bloody scabs on his feet. He claimed to be Tao Yan's subordinates. When crossing the river, he encountered Shen Tang's soldiers. The horse attacked by surprise, please ask the leader of the alliance to seek justice.
Everyone looked at this man with a strange look.
Tao Yan's old army was unaware of it. He encountered a lot of troubles along the way. It was the thought of redressing the grievances for his old master that supported him here. He thought that such a wise leader would definitely seek justice for his old master and let him A bunch of evil people are about to be executed!
But what he never expected was——
Leader Huang asked him back: "Did you know that Tao Shenyu secretly colluded with the tyrant Zheng Qiao and planned to assassinate Governor Shen?"
The old man's brain was buzzing and he was confused.
"This, this, this is absolutely impossible!"
How could his lord collude with the enemy?
Huang Lie said: "The evidence is conclusive, both the witnesses and the physical evidence are there."
Jiubu's shoulders slumped, as if all his energy had been sucked away. He looked at the people in the tent at a loss. These big shots were something he couldn't usually see. They were so close to him at the moment, but they seemed to be very far away from him. He was laughing at them from above. His stupidity.

Alas, I felt sleepy as soon as I finished answering questions in the afternoon. It must be the problem of returning to Nantian...
