192: Xiaocheng Rebellion (Thirty-Two) [Two in One]
Qishan flatly rejected: "No!"
Shen Tang was stunned and asked, "Why not?"
She didn't expect that the Prayer Society would be the first to stand up and object.
Shen Tang thought his method was okay.
Although you can't control the rebels' weakness, you can also control Zheng Qiao's weakness. As long as it can make Zheng Qiao and She Wang bite each other, both sides will suffer losses, or one of them will be annihilated! No matter how difficult the life of the people is, it will be better if it is in their hands. Make a living down there.
Anyway, the situation is irreversible, so why not completely mess it up!
Qi Shan was speechless by her "innocent and simple" retort. He endured it again and again until his whole face turned red.
What should he say?
In the end, he could only hold back one sentence: "The national seal is of great importance!"
Shen Tang was depressed: "It's just spreading rumors, as long as Zheng Qiao's side believes that the national seal is in Xiaocheng, it's not true."
Qi Shandeng immediately showed a speechless expression.
What can he say???
Is it true that the national seal of Xin State is in Xiaocheng???
This is not digging a hole for the rebel Zheng Qiao, but digging a hole for herself, or taking the initiative to prepare a coffin and lie down in it to rest.
Qi Shan could only hint desperately: "If Zheng Qiao believed the rumors and really sent troops here, other forces in the territory would also take action. Then it would not be as simple as Zheng Qiao's brothers fighting against each other. It might be a melee between several or more than a dozen forces... "
Shen Tang held his chin and thought.
"Yuanliang's words make sense."
Qi Shan thought she had given up the idea, and was about to secretly sigh in relief. Unexpectedly, when he was about to relax, he heard Shen Xiaolang Jun say something shocking: "But - only when the water is muddy can we fish. If it really takes a few or more than a dozen groups to fight, , but it’s a good thing, right?”
Qishan: "...you said it's a good thing?"
Shen Tang said: "It is indeed a good thing."
To say what was the biggest impression Xiaocheng and his party gave her, it was probably just now - she was truly aware of her own weakness and powerlessness. Because she had no power, no strength, no one, no right to speak, no backing, and in troubled times she could only Able to be slaughtered by others.
But what if she had?
As long as she wants to protect her, no one dares to touch her!
Strength is the foundation!
If you "reason" with Zheng Qiao, King She and his ilk, condemnation from the moral high ground won't hurt anyone!
Only with the power to threaten their lives and pinch their lifeblood will they listen carefully and reflect sincerely.
Shen Tang looked a little more unshakable and determined.
She said: "Wealth and wealth should be found in danger."
Although she said this with a smile, Qi Shan could see that Shen Xiaolangjun was not joking, she was very, very serious!
Qi Shan opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.
After waiting for a while and not getting a response, Shen Tang looked away, looked around again, and suggested: "How about a vote?"
Just as Zhai Le was about to express his stance, Qi Shan grabbed his hand.
Shen Tang also noticed something strange about Qi Shan and looked over.
Qi Shan took a deep breath and tried hard to hide the distorted expression on his face: "Did Mr. Shen Xiaolang forget something?"
Shen Tang didn't understand what he meant: "What did I forget?"
She forgot a lot of things - such as the memory before time travel, but she couldn't say this, and Qi Bushan's expression obviously didn't refer to this memory. Shen Tang frowned and thought for a long time, but didn't expect what she had forgotten, and shook her head: "I didn't forget anything-"
Etc., etc--
She seemed to have forgotten something important.
Shen Tang's expression changed suddenly.
Looking at the national seal of Xin State, she forgot that she also had a "national seal" that she didn't know belonged to. Although she didn't know why she had a "national seal" or where it was, the "national seal" was indeed It does exist. Lin Feng's ability to store the "spiritual energy of heaven and earth" in a woman's body is one of the ironclad proofs.
As a bound orange artifact that can only be dropped by death, the Seal's charm is undoubted, and there are countless forces that covet it. If it is not executed well, you may lose yourself.
Including herself, Xiaocheng really has a national seal!!!
Qishan saw that she remembered it and couldn't laugh or cry.
What king would not carry such an important thing as the national seal with him? He wished he could take it out and wipe it three times a day. However, Shen Xiaolangjun was different. He didn’t even remember that he had this thing.
Brother Zhai Huan and Captain Yang looked confused.
But this is their secret.
They did not take the initiative to confess, and it was not easy for them to pry.
Seeing the subtle changes in the expressions between Qishan and Shen Tang, Captain Yang knew that Shen Yishi's previous suggestion of "leveraging others' strength" was not going to work, and the hope that had been ignited in his heart was extinguished again.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tang still insisted on his own opinion.
Her heartbeat was beating like a drum, she licked her dry lips and said, "Okay, I forgot about that thing, but it's not important. I feel that the method just now can still be tried, and it will definitely solve the crisis in Xiaocheng!"
"Youli, you——" Qi Shan was really anxious this time.
Shen Tang raised his hand to signal him not to say anything.
He asked rhetorically: "In addition to what I said, is there any more effective way at present? I know that whether it is Yuanliang or Wuhui, you are both famous scribes for a long time, and you must be more thoughtful about the situation than me. But you have to know - Qiao It’s hard for a woman to cook without rice! No matter how powerful the scholar is, no matter how tyrannical the warrior is, facing an army of tens of thousands, he can only suffer defeat."
Shen Tang tried to convince Qi Shan to let him take the risk.
"Our goal is to save the people in Xiaocheng! If we can borrow troops to save Xiaocheng, we will borrow them! The problem is that we can't borrow them now, and we don't know where to borrow them! Water far away can't relieve fire nearby! We are short of people , lack of time, but Zheng Qiao is not short of time."
Qishan: "Even compensating yourself?"
Shen Tang: "If I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I should stay far away now, take my people and my family with me and fly away. Anyway, the people in Xiaocheng have no blood relationship with me. They live and die with me. Shen You It doesn’t matter if the pear doesn’t cost a penny!”
Qishan: "..."
Shen Tang said: "Yuan Liang... I don't want to put the cart before the horse."
If it was just for self-protection, she could live in seclusion in the mountains alone, and she would not starve to death even if she did not produce, farm, or work. Be it Zheng Qiao or the Pig King, how they were at war with each other, how they killed countless people, and what the situation was like for the people under their rule... She can't even see it!
Since her original intention was to do her best to save the tragedy she saw, then it was worth taking some risks.
Isn't it?
Qishan: "..."
I didn't defeat Shen Tang for the first time.
A premonition told him that this wouldn't be the last time.
"It's too risky, Youli."
"Nothing in this world is without risk. If you are unlucky, your teeth will get clogged if you drink cold water, and you will choke to death if you eat a meal."
Good luck, justice comes from heaven, ten thousand against four hundred and twenty thousand!
Qishan could only sigh and shook his head with a smile.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Shen Tang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Seriously?"
She thought it would take a while.
Qishan said: "Wealth can be gained through danger, and taking risks is the right thing - I won't let you die in front of me anyway..."
Shen Tang smiled and cleared away the gloom, teasing: "It's amazing, Yuan Liang is quite flirtatious when he talks about people..." You must know that Qishan is really good at selling out his teammates, she was betrayed more than once!
If favorability can be digitized, I think she has already raised the favorability value of this "guiding NPC" to over 90!
The three Captain Yangs who failed to join the group chat: "..."
Shen Tang came back to his senses and realized that there were outsiders here. His expression was awkward for a moment, and he tried to pretend to be dumbfounded to get over what had just happened. Fortunately, none of the three of them got to the bottom of it.
Qi Shan diverted everyone's attention in an understatement: "It is true that Youli's method is good, but have you ever thought about how you are going to pass the news to Zheng Qiao? We don't have much time left."
Xiaocheng can't hold on for long. We must lead Zheng Qiao's troops over before Xiaocheng is finished, or there may be a glimmer of hope!
Otherwise, all planning is meaningless.
Shen Tang asked: "How do you usually send urgent military reports?"
After all, this is an unscientific world, and there is no shortage of unscientific means. It is impossible to just "honestly" rush eight hundred miles, right?
Zhai Le said: "Messenger, Wolf Smoke."
Shen Tang: "..."
Surprisingly honest.
If a messenger is to be sent, first of all, he must be strong enough to be able to withstand the rush of traveling for days and nights, and secondly, he must have some identity, otherwise the news will not reach Zheng Qiao's ears. The only person present who meets the requirements is Captain Yang, and everyone looks at him in tacit agreement. he.
Captain Yang was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
He said: "In that case, then it's up to me——"
Zhai Huan shook his head: "You can't."
The status conditions have been met, but Captain Yang is the only tenth-level left-wing commander and the backbone of hundreds of soldiers. If he leaves, the already low morale of the soldiers will continue to decline and eventually turn into a pile of loose sand.
Neither their brothers nor Brother Shen could convince the public, and Captain Yang's subordinate officers seemed unreliable...
Zhai Huan also expressed his worries: "Furthermore, even if Captain Yang goes, Zheng Qiao will definitely meet him. Do you believe him?"
People don't even take Sibao County seriously.
Not to mention the warriors stationed in Sibao County.
The tenth-level left concubine was not very attractive to Zheng Qiao.
Zhai Le: "What about using wolf smoke?"
Zhai Huan asked again: "Is Langyan so easy to borrow?"
Before spreading the news through the smoke, exposing yourself first and triggering a full-scale siege by the rebels is a dead end.
Another deadlock.
When he was at a loss, Qi Shan said: "I have a way."
Everyone immediately focused their attention on him.
Qishan didn't say anything clearly, he just said: "We must enter the city first."
Go into town and find someone!
Gongshuwu!
The last hope may lie with him.
While Qi Shan and the others were discussing who would stay behind and who would enter the city, Chu Yao and Gong Shuwu went straight to the county government.
The governor of the county, Yan Cheng, fled, but the county government was not abandoned.
When night falls, the lights are still brightly lit.
The rebels outside the city were besieging the city, but some people were still living as usual without being greatly affected. For example, Si Yan, who guarded the gate of the county government, found it cold in front of the gate, and no one passed by for a long time.
He felt sleepy and yawned out of boredom.
Just as I was about to find a place to hang out for a while, I vaguely heard footsteps approaching, and the shadows of people blocked the candlelight reflected by the lantern.
Si Yan looked up and found that the people coming were two men. One had gray hair and a slim build, and was dressed in a very standard scribe's attire. The other was tall, tall, and had tight muscles, like a practicing practitioner.
Si Yan asked: "What are you doing here?"
Chu Yao: "Looking for someone."
Si Yan waved his hand politely: "There is no one you are looking for here. Don't get close here, otherwise you may lose your life."
Chu Yao didn't feel the slightest displeasure at such an offense, and said with a smile: "I have a plan to defend the city and save my life. I'm looking for someone to offer it to me. Little brother, do you think there is really no one I'm looking for in my house?"
When Si Yan heard this, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
He woke up with a start.
He hurriedly said: "Wait a minute - you said you wanted to offer some advice?"
Chu Yao: "Yes."
Si Yan was half convinced and said, "Do you have any proof? Don't think that the villain is making things difficult. It's really because the county government has changed its owner. If you don't have real skills, you just want to fool people and seek some benefits. Once you step into this threshold, , my life is at risk."
You can't forgive yourself for putting them in.
Si Yan didn't dare to take risks.
Chu Yao smiled.
He took off the inscription monogram hanging from his waist and deliberately showed the rank on it. Si Yan of the county also knew a few characters. When the four characters "Second Rank Shangzhong" came into view, he was troubled.
It was such a huge visual impact that I almost lost my legs and couldn't stand on my feet.
He stammered, eager to grab the savior's hand.
"Two, please wait a moment. The villain will go in and pass the news."
He has seen many literary scholars.
But this is the first time in my life that I am in the second grade!
Gong Shuwu, who was about to take out the Wu Dan Tiger Talisman: "..."
He laughed and said, "It's better to use it sir." Compared with the second-grade high-ranking doctor, the ninth-grade and fifth-grade doctor is more rare.
Chu Yao slowly hung the Wenxin monogram back.
He smiled and said, "Ordinary people don't understand."
The strength of a literary scholar does not depend on his grade.
"Second Grade, Upper Middle" will only fool laymen.
Gong Shuwu: "Sir, there is no need to be so humble."
Within a few words, he heard a burst of rapid and messy footsteps approaching them. Si Yan, who had just led the way, led a young man with an extremely serious expression out. The moment he saw the young man's appearance clearly, Gong Shuwu was stunned.
In place.
The tiger's eyes widened, and the hands hanging by his sides trembled involuntarily and clenched tightly. Only in this way could he suppress the sudden burst of strong emotions. Naturally, these changes could not be hidden from Chu Yao: "Half a step?"
After shouting twice, he called Gong Shuwu back who was distracted.
"I, I'm fine..."
Gong Shuwu barely suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.
Fortunately, his vision was dim at this time, otherwise Chu Yao would have seen that Gong Shuwu's eyes were filled with mist and red threads, and his mood was very wrong. His eyes were all glued to the young man, for a moment, for fear that he would blink.
In a blink of an eye, the boy disappeared.
nothing???
How could he be fine!!!
He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to see a member of the Gong clan, who was his close blood relative! Yes, the young man walking quickly in front of him was the son of Brother Gong Shuwu——
Gong Cheng!
Gong Yunchi!
Gong Shuwu looked at Gong Cheng carefully.
He thought to himself: This kid Yunchi has lost a lot of weight.
When his eyes touched the tattoo on the young man's face that represented the exiled prisoners, his heartache was unbearable - Yunchi should have been the most dazzling and promising person of Gong's generation, but...
Unspeakable bitterness spread in my heart.
Gong Cheng, but no one showed up. The tall and brave martial artist in front of him was his second uncle Gong Wen, whom he cared about deeply. All his attention fell on Chu Yao. When he heard Si Yan's reply, he was so shocked that he knocked over the tea.
, not caring about anything else, hurriedly greeted him.
He slowed down his rapid breathing, calmed down his excitement, greeted Chu Yao and the other two, and then asked: "Which righteous man offered the idea?"
Chu Yao: "It's me."

PS: I don’t know if it’s because the Word document has more than 700 pages, and the coding is super slow, and the copying is also stuck. I’m wondering if I should open a new document. Obviously the empress’s time was fine with three or four thousand pages, could it be a computer?
Can I change my service after serving for three or four years?
