Do you really think that Shiwu is a great injustice?
You cheated once and want to use the same trick to cheat a second time?
Shen Tang is not very optimistic about this.
However, she obviously didn't understand Shiwu well enough.
They went to the sun to touch the porcelain, thinking that they were a race that was inhabited and multiplied by ten golden crows that landed here. They had noble golden crow blood flowing in their bodies and were the descendants of the gods.
Regardless of whether outsiders believe this rumor, they themselves have believed it for two hundred years. No one in the world is more suitable to live in the fertile and prosperous Central Plains than them.
They are eyeing the fertile soil of the Central Plains.
However, with the natural dangers of the mountains and the national border barrier near the Tiger Mountains, it is really difficult for them to attack. For this reason, Shiwu cannot let go of any opportunity that may allow them to go south, which means - —
Shen Tang was shocked that there was such a great injustice in the world.
"Is it very possible that Shiwu will be fooled a second time?"
Qishan chuckled: "It doesn't count as the second time."
Shen Tang: "???"
Qi Shan was unsure and said: "Using Shiwu to attack is a northwest tradition, right?"
Shen Tang: "..."
In a sense, Shi Wu is "poor".
Countries in the northwest of the mainland are at war. There are always a few shady people who like to secretly collude with Shiwu and let Shiwu send troops to harass the passes near the mountains to help contain the enemy forces. For detailed operations, please refer to Zheng Qiao. After using Shiwu Just throw it aside, and use the word "drag" to procrastinate on all the benefits promised to Shi Wu, and then refuse to acknowledge it.
Good guy, isn’t this just free prostitution?
Forget it if you have sex for free.
The key is that all the countries in the northwest seem to have made an agreement, and they take turns flattering Shiwu and promising benefits, but Shiwu falls for the trick every time, and the results are the same. According to past rules, Shiwu will most likely agree, which sounds really good. Silly.
At first glance, Shi Wu seemed to be an honest young man who was talking a lot. He was as pitiful as Bei Mo, who was treated as an experience bag next door. He was teased by this group of street guys in the northwest of the mainland who did not respect martial arts. However, because of this Take it lightly, haha.
I don’t know how I died in the end.
Shiwu and Beimo are both masters who are good at hiding and forbearing. If Beimo is a mean person who flirts with the northwest border countries every now and then, and if he loses, he offers the proton beauties of the tribe and takes the route of marriage and development, then Shiwu is pretending to be a human being. An honest person who can be deceived, who has been deceived by the same tricks for more than a hundred years and still continues to be deceived, gradually makes the outside world relax their vigilance against him, and develops in secret, and the effect is remarkable.
Nowadays, the northwest countries really don't take them seriously, nor do they think they can threaten themselves.
The typical example is Zheng Qiao. After taking advantage of Shiwu, he didn't even offer perfunctory comfort and coaxing. He is a scumbag.
Shen Tang: "..."
Gu Chi tapped his fingers on his knees, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said: "The King of Swine wants to borrow troops from Shiwu. It is probably a folklore legend that he colluded with Beimo... It is very possible. However, Shiwu and The Northern Desert has been secretly flirting with each other for many years. The two tribes have been dormant for many years and have matured. It just so happens that the situation in the northwest has been turbulent in recent years. They may not be able to hold back..."
Shen Tang couldn't help but complain: "Do the two tribes from Shiwu Beimo want to play Mission: Impossible? The matryoshka dolls are not that complicated."
Everyone has long been accustomed to some of Shen Tang's confusing dialect and slang, but it doesn't affect their understanding of the meaning.
Kang Shi's brows never raised, and he said worriedly: "Wang Chao thinks that Shi Wu and the two tribes in Beimo will take advantage of this opportunity to help Zheng Qiao and King Pig in public. In fact, they will join forces secretly. Only when the troops are in the northwest Will we start as soon as we gather inside the territory?”
Gu Chi said: "Most likely it will be like this."
There are no mountains, natural barriers and national border barriers to stop Shiwu.
The Northern Desert is also heavily guarded by border troops.
If the two clans cooperated with the Zheng Qiao brothers and borrowed troops to help, they could arrogantly ignore these obstacles and enter the northwest territory. If Zheng Qiao and King She were both defeated in the fight, it would be difficult to prevent the two clans from backstabbing due to their weakness.
Kang Shi asked again: "Is the news reliable?"
Gu Chi smiled: "Of course."
His last boss was Wu Yuan.
Although he was a proton thrown out by the Northern Desert and apparently belonged to a useless son, the power of the Wuyuan mother clan is not weak in the Northern Desert, and the information will not be false. The two clans have been communicating secretly for many years.
Gu Chi said: "For Shiwu and Beimo, within a hundred years, there will probably be no better opportunity than now."
The conquests of the northwest countries wasted too much energy.
In recent years, there has been no relatively stable local unified regime, let alone recuperation. More and more small countries are breaking away, which also means that the possibility of posing a threat to the Northern Desert is getting smaller and smaller. The last time I refreshed the Northern Desert experience package , If Chu Yao hadn’t turned the tide through his travels, the coalition forces of the northwest countries would not have been able to pull him back, otherwise they might have been overthrown by the Northern Desert and won!
so--
The two clans will do their best to seize this opportunity.
There is a high probability that Shi Wu will "put aside the past grudges" and continue to flirt with Zheng Qiao. Bei Mo will take the opportunity to hitch a ride on King She and refuse to welcome him back. As long as their heroes can set foot on the land in the northwest, the wishful thinking of the two tribes will succeed. Most of it!
leftover--
It’s just open to fighting!
Gu Chi said: "Lord, we must hurry up and train our troops."
As a small governor of Heyin County, Shen Tang cannot stop the duel between the Zheng Qiao brothers, let alone prevent the two tribes from sending troops to enter the country. The war is now just a small fight, and the real war has not yet begun. All she can do is to take advantage of the situation. Rising amid war.
Otherwise, when the iron cavalry of the two tribes were massacred in the northwest, she and the common people under her rule would be trampled to pieces.
Veins on Shen Tang's forehead were pulsing.
At the same time, there is a heavy feeling of powerlessness.
Kang Shi said at this time: "Xingning will not be able to see through this. He cannot sit idly by and let Zheng Qiao dig his own grave."
"Yan Xingning? Can he change Zheng Qiao's mind?"
Kangshi was speechless for a moment.
This is really not guaranteed.
Yan'an and Zheng Qiao are brothers, and the former values the latter very much. He hurriedly defected to Zheng Qiao as soon as he became a filial piety, trying to get him back on track... However, it is hard to say whether Zheng Qiao is willing to listen to the advice.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
At this time, Zheng Qiao was visiting the palace.
A strong man dressed in a rough and exotic costume bowed respectfully and humbly to Zheng Qiao. The official looked indifferent and allowed the strong man to flatter Zheng Qiao. He ignored him even if he made lavish remarks, and occasionally cast a disdainful glance at him.
This strong man is the messenger of Shiwu.
It is said that this person has a very noble status in Shiwu.
But in order to see the real dragon, please come here.
If the customs between the two places were not so different, the envoy would even want to kiss Zheng Qiao's instep to express his piety and awe.
Zheng Qiao smiled half-heartedly, appreciating the brawny man's compliment.
Just give one or two responses occasionally.
There were two "key points" in the whole meeting.
First, Shiwu wanted to marry Wang Ji.
Secondly, he is willing to pay a hundred thousand elite betrothal gifts for Wang Ji.
But everyone knows that this is just a fig leaf.
The focus is on "One Hundred Thousand Elites"!
After the court meeting, Zheng Qiao stayed at Yan'an.
Yan Xingning is not normal today.
He didn’t object even once!
This made Zheng Qiao a little surprised and wary - Yan Xingning didn't know him well enough, but he knew Yan Xingning well enough. He was so easy to understand. He was a gentleman who didn't have enough ability to turn the tide but was very well-intentioned!
It's impossible to watch Zheng Qiao "lead the wolf into the house" without stopping him!
If you can't stop it, you'll be forced to say a few words.
Today——
"Senior brother is mute?"
Zheng Qiao lost a son.
Yan'an was about to drop the sunspot in his hand when he heard these frivolous and rude words and asked quietly: "Why did you say this?"
"Senior brother, do you have anything to say about Shiwu?"
"I told you, can you not do it?"
"cannot."
"Then there's no need to waste your breath."
Zheng Qiao was surprised when he heard this. This was strange.
He pretended to be a test: "It's rare for senior brother to be considerate of Gu. Gu is not afraid of those two fools, King Xi. It's just that Beimo has mixed in a hundred thousand troops. Gu's troops are not enough. He will inevitably suffer a loss when encountering him. He will be picked up by other Xiaoxiao.
Cheap……"
The useless King She wants to unite with Bei Mo and borrow one hundred thousand elites. However, these one hundred thousand elites are not a "bride gift" but a "dowry" for the princess presented by Bei Mo. Zheng Qiao's troops are a bit weak, so he wants to join forces with him.
You can only rely on external forces.
He worked with Shiwu once.
It's relatively easy to use.
Yan'an said: "You are the leader of the country."
The implication is that Zheng Qiao can make up his own mind.
There is no need to explain this to him.
Zheng Qiao's handsome face flashed with a hint of gloom, and his tone seemed gentle but was actually filled with murderous intent: "Brother, are you serious?"
"yes."
Zheng Qiao took down the chess piece and suddenly asked like a nervous attack: "You are not Yan Xingning!"
Yan'an: "..."
He felt more and more that this junior brother was difficult to serve.
She opposed him, but he insisted on going his own way, and no one could persuade him. When he stopped opposing, Zheng Qiao questioned whether he was lying.
Yanan didn't answer, but looked at him indifferently. Zheng Qiao couldn't see any flaws: "What are you planning?"
"I haven't made up my mind."
Zheng Qiao: "..."
He believed Yan'an's lies and that's why there is a ghost.
But what Yanan refused to say was that even if he was tortured, he would not utter a word. Zheng Qiao had no choice but to give up temporarily, but he did not forget to threaten him coldly: "I hope that senior brother's words and deeds will be consistent. If you really think so, do this.
otherwise--"
Seeing the chess pieces turned into powder in Zheng Qiao's hands, Yan felt a little sad and his mouth was full of answers.
In the middle of the chess game, Zheng Qiao suddenly said: "Shiwu wants to marry Wang Ji, but my junior brother has no children..."
Yan'an said: "Female any palace girl as you please."
Who are you asking to marry?
No, it's the word "Wang Ji".
He didn't think Zheng Qiao would worry about such a thing.
Zheng Qiao said: "Speaking of which, niece..."
Yanan's eyes suddenly turned sharp: "Zheng Qiao!"
Not even his first name or surname, not even "Junior Brother".
Zheng Qiao smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't panic. My niece is smart and young. In terms of seniority, she still calls Gu her uncle. How could Gu let her get married? Those barbarians in Shiwu are not worthy of such a golden branch as my niece. But Gu
If you have no heirs, you will be envious if you see someone with both children. Why not let your niece go to the palace to play for a few days? If you are not worried, you can ask your sister-in-law to accompany you."
Yan'an looked at Zheng Qiao who was smiling and smiling in disbelief, as if she had just met him for the first time today.
"You think I will harm you?"
Zheng Qiao: "Senior brother, you are too worried. I have no intention of taking my sister-in-law and the others as hostages. It's just that I haven't seen them for many years..."
Both of us knew the truth of this statement.
Yan'an's silent performance today aroused Zheng Qiao's suspicion, so he used this as a warning. If Yan An didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to leave the palace alive today. Yan'an knew that Zheng Qiao was suspicious, but he didn't expect his suspicion to be so morbid. He had to endure his anger.
.
"I still need to ask my wife about this matter."
Zheng Qiao chuckled: "Okay."
——————
The lady thought for a moment and agreed.
"The ruler of the country is inherently suspicious, with an extreme temperament and radical actions. Just follow him, if you disobey - the consequences will be disastrous." Yan'an's wife is not very beautiful, but her temperament is gentle and calm, like a clear spring in a mountain stream.
It makes people feel reassured, "It's just that Xingning hasn't given up on that idea yet?"
Yanan was silent for a long time.
The lady heard his answer, and her smile was a bit bitter, but more understanding and supportive.
Yan'an felt even more guilty.
The lady said: "Xingning doesn't have to be like this."
She and her husband Yanan have known each other since they were young.
He is also someone she has identified with since she was young.
No matter what Yanan does, she will support it.
only--
Thinking of what her husband had confided in her heart and the overall situation he had carefully planned, the lady had no choice but to hide her reluctance.
At the same time, he also resented Zheng Qiao for letting down Yan'an's hard work. Zheng Qiao could not escape the blame for the situation in the northwest being as chaotic as it is now. It was obviously his fault, but it was his husband who cleaned up the mess. How could he be so virtuous and capable?
Just because of that guilt?
The madam was filled with anger, but when she thought of her husband's plan, Zheng Qiao's reaction when she learned the truth became slightly more balanced.
The next day I took my young daughter to the palace as a guest.
Zheng Qiao did not appear.
At sunset, someone was sent to escort the mother and daughter out of the palace.
"Is there anything strange?"
Zheng Qiao asked the palace attendant.
The palace man replied: "No."
Zheng Qiao enjoyed the singing and dancing and said, "It's quite strange."
He thought that with the temper of this sister-in-law, she would have scolded him to pieces in private.
He didn't go over to take a look, because he was afraid of this - speaking of it, this sister-in-law can be considered a senior sister. She just didn't have much contact with Zheng Qiao, and there were conflicts in the few contacts she had.
The palace maids retired, and Zheng Qiao watched the singing and dancing for a while before returning to the bedroom. However, he did not fall asleep but instead read the book.
Haha, Yanan would probably murmur something strange when he saw it.
These information came from secret lines.
It can be regarded as one of Zheng Qiao's secret forces.
Specially help him do shady things.
Collect intelligence on forces from all over the place who are against Zheng Qiao, or who Zheng Qiao thinks are against them. Some forces are too small and too weak, so they are directly eliminated, framed and blamed on enemies, provoked civil strife, and let them bite dogs;
For those that are difficult to deal with, intelligence is collected and Zheng Qiao makes the decision.
And these few discounts——
Zheng Qiao took it as a joke.
Tianhai Wu Xian disrupted the markets in Shangnan and Yiru and secretly made money; He Yin and Shen Tang sold water mixed with alcohol behind Wu Xian's back, keeping an eye on the culprit. The most lengthy part is about the changes in He Yin and Shen Tang in the past few months.
I have a close relationship with Wu Xian.
Zheng Qiao didn't take Shen Tang seriously at first.
The secret agent only focused on Wu Xian, Gu Ren and Zhang He, who were the more obvious ones. However, because of the weirdness of the drinks, he noticed Shen Tang by the way and realized that this man was not old but quite capable. He Yin was guarding other places.
It was lax, but Fu Gu's management was strict. Several spies in the past had lost their lives inexplicably, and the remaining spies didn't dare to get too close.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
?(???)?
I'm hesitating whether to speed up the plot and jump to more than a year later.
