"Gonggong, Gonggong, Gongxiqiu - are you crazy?" Chao Lian tried his best to tilt his neck back, greedily breathing in a breath of fresh air, and at the same time, he tried to break open Gongxiqiu's fingers that were pinching his neck. The other party's force was stronger,
His neck was about to be broken in the hands of this reckless man, "Are you going to strangle me to death?"
"When did you meet that person?"
"Where did you see him?"
"Say! If you lie even one word, I will twist off your head. Even if Gu Ziyi comes with his troops, they can only collect your body!"
Gong Xiqiu relaxed his strength, but still did not let go.
Chao Lian looked at Gong Xiqiu above him, coughed twice, and signaled to him if he could get up: "This is not the place to talk, and we don't look like we can talk like this..."
When Gong Xiqiu saw the piece of paper, he suddenly became angry.
He grabbed Chao Lian's neck with one hand and pushed him down on the table.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the vendors nearby disappeared quickly.
"Cough, cough, cough -" Feeling the strength on his neck lessening, Chao Lian took the opportunity to turn over and get off the table, holding the table with one hand. He kept coughing. After a while, he regained his composure and asked Gong Xiqiu, "That person looks similar to you."
, could he be your relative?"
Judging by his age and appearance, he's probably Gong Xiqiu's younger brother?
Chao Lian felt a little regretful.
He had only met Gong Xiqiu once or twice. When he saw the young man's childish face that day, he felt vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. After seeing Gong Xiqiu's iconic alien attire, he suddenly thought
It seems that the two of them look similar.
Gong Xiqiu looked at Chao Lian with cold eyes.
"You answer my question."
The words "If you don't answer, you will die" are written in his eyes.
Chao Lian was very knowledgeable about current affairs and replied: "The young man I met on the 16th had a childish face and looked to be at least thirteen or fourteen years old. He came to the city to buy cloth, needlework, salt, sugar and other items. Because of a small matter and
Thirteen had a conflict. This man was neither a literary scholar nor a brave warrior. He used unprecedented methods and subdued Thirteen with just one move."
"Young man? Thirteen or fourteen years old?"
Gong Xiqiu made a final decision with his fingers in his heart.
The more I calculate, the brighter my eyes become!
"Is everything you said true?"
Chao Lian asked back: "This person is related to Thirteen's life. Our brothers want to find him more than you do. What's the benefit of deceiving you?"
Gong Xiqiu was ecstatic!
At this age, he is definitely the eldest brother’s child!
His great nephew!
In order to further verify his guess, Gong Xiqiu wanted to see Shao Chong. According to Chao Lian, his good nephew had a fight with Shao Chong, and there was definitely evidence left on Shao Chong. His heart was like an arrow, and he couldn't even breathe.
Unable to wait, he dragged the person away and left.
Chao Lian's neck was in crisis again.
“Gong Xiqiu—let me down!”
"Don't scream!"
Gu Ren wanted to dig three feet into the city these days, but no good news came. As the full moon night got closer, he became more and more anxious. He looked at the table full of letters and had no intention of dealing with them. Look.
After a few lines, I couldn’t help but sigh.
boom--
A loud bang!
The violent force hit the door of the government hall.
Gu Ren is also a person who is used to seeing assassination scenes. Dan Ding raised his hands and waved his sleeves, and the cultural barrier rising from the ground blocked the wind of the frontal attack. The wind filled his sleeves and made a hunting sound. But other things in the hall were not so good.
As luck would have it, it was washed away in a mess.
Like the ruins after a hurricane has passed.
"Who is so presumptuous!"
Gu Ren scolded in a deep voice.
The nearby guards and adopted brothers also rushed over.
When he saw the intruder clearly, Gu Ren's serious expression cracked for a moment - Gong Xiqiu! His twelfth brother was still clamped in his arms, with an expression of hopelessness. After all, he was an old fox who was used to troubles.
He blinked and returned to normal. When he saw the distinctive clan pattern on Gong Xiqiu's body, he was secretly shocked. He immediately thought of the young man that day and waved his sleeves to ask the guards to retreat.
"General Gongxi paid a sudden visit. Why?"
"Meet your brother."
Gongxi Qiu left Chao Lian behind.
His tone was arrogant and natural, as if he was the master here.
Gu Ren ordered Chao Lian to bring Shaochong.
There were two other sworn brothers, like the two generals of Hengha, one on the left and the other on the right staring at Gong Xiqiu to prevent the other party from suddenly making an attack. In response, Gong Xiqiu sneered, completely ignoring the two weaklings.
It wasn't until Shaochong appeared that he became serious.
"Fifteenth grade junior high school?"
Gong Xiqiu saw through Shao Chong's strength at a glance, and Shao Chong also recognized Gong Xiqiu as the enemy general who fought in Xiaocheng. They fought a battle, but he was defeated by his opponent and almost died: "Brother,
Why is this person here?"
Gu Ren said: "I'm looking for you."
Shaochong rolled up his sleeves: "Looking for me? Looking for a fight with me?"
Gong Xiqiu curled his lips: "Just you?"
If it were other fifteenth-level young masters, it would indeed make him feel troublesome, but Shaochong was not one of them. The opponent's strength was based on the Gongxi tribe's secret technique Gu worm to stimulate the potential, which overdraws his vitality and lifespan. Then
The Gu worm is still a semi-finished product. In this case, even if Gong Xiqiu is not the high priest, he can still indirectly destroy Shaochong by affecting the Gu worm.
Gu Ren drank lightly and Shaochong said: "Thirteen, don't be rude!"
Stop rushing and calm down, and don't dare to disobey Gu Ren.
Gong Xiqiu stepped forward, walked around Shao Chong in front of everyone's attention, walked to the latter's back, reached out with his hands like thunder, grabbed Shao Chong's collar and tore his shirt open, unexpectedly exposing half of his back. Shao Chong
He jumped up and retreated, saying: Why did you destroy my clothes?"
"Watch your back."
Shao Chong said with a cold face: "They are all men, what's so good about them?"
After he finished speaking, Gong Xiqiu looked at him with undisguised disdain: "You are lucky, you have temporarily saved your life." Only then did everyone see that Shaochong's back had lines that looked like totems at some point.
, clearly visible in the sunlight.
The texture is divided into two colors: brown, black and green.
Brown and black are the patterns of ferocious insects, and green are like trees and vines forming a circle.
The latter envelopes the former.
Gu Ren was surprised: "This is?"
Maybe he was in a good mood and Gong Xiqiu was willing to say a few more words.
"The unique sealed word spirit of the high priest of the Gongxi clan is specially used to suppress the secret art of Gu. Every newborn of our clan, regardless of male or female, must plant a companion Gu on the day of the full moon. This Gu is closely related to the host.
We live and die together. The ones of ordinary quality can only speed up the healing of injuries, assist in cultivation, and keep the host healthy. The ones of good quality, as long as the host does not suffer fatal injuries such as decapitation, have a certain chance of surviving... However, there are advantages
Disadvantages. The more overbearing the effect of the voodoo, the easier it is to lose control. Under normal circumstances, the seal must be given by the high priest. As the host's age and strength increases, the seal will be gradually unsealed." The quality of the voodoo in his body is the highest, and it is the only one since it was recorded in the family annals.
Seven appeared.
Why can Gong Xiqiu get one?
According to Jimo Can—
【Your brother is stupid and he's trying to make it up to you.】
Gu Ren's eyes lit up: "Is this the seal?"
Gong Xiqiu nodded: "Yes."
This seal is enough to prove one point——
The high priest of the Gongxi tribe appears!
His good nephew is the high priest of this generation!
"...according to General Gongxi's words, the seal will gradually be unsealed as he grows older. In other words, is Thirteen safe now? Will there be no danger on the next full moon night?" Gu Ren held his breath nervously.
Breathe and wait for Gong Xiqiu's answer.
"Yes!" Gong Xiqiu changed the subject, "However, the Gu worms on his body are not pure, they are just products of the four different species, and the sealing effect may not be that good. If he wants to save his life, he must improve his strength even higher before the seal disintegrates.
, or find the high priest and apply another layer. Stabilize the mood and try not to stimulate the Gu insects to wake up, which will speed up the disintegration of the seal."
After hearing this, Gu Ren clasped his fists gratefully.
Sincerely: "Thank you!"
Gong Xiqiu didn't care about their thanks, he just wanted to know——
"The person who left the seal, where did he go?"
Gu Ren smiled bitterly: "To be honest, we don't know either. I heard that he had a way to save Shisan, so we immediately closed the city for several days just to find him. After so many days, there is no news."
Gong Xiqiu frowned, obviously dissatisfied with this answer.
"You don't even know where he went?"
"Sorry, I don't know."
"Then what do you know?"
Gong Xiqiu looked at them as if they were a pile of rubbish. He answered everything, but the other party just replied "I don't know"?
Chao Lian and Shao Chong knew the most.
But Shaochong's expressive ability is far inferior to the former.
He then told all the details of what happened that day, hoping to help Gong Xiqiu. It was about his eldest brother and his good nephew. Gong Xiqiu listened very carefully and refused to miss a word.
"That's it?"
Chao Lian said: "That's all."
Gong Xiqiu suppressed his dissatisfaction, and Gu Ren was very eye-catching: "If that young man appears again, we will definitely inform General Gong Xi." He also politely asked Gong Xiqiu to stay for a few days, so that he could fulfill his friendship as a landlord, but
The person did not give face and refused.
He still has important things to attend to.
Who wants to waste time with Gu Renxu and Weishe?
Seeing that he couldn't keep him, Gu Ren took the initiative to send some money as a thank you gift, just to make a good relationship. Gong Xichou accepted it without courtesy. He came and left quickly. However, he didn't look for it.
The eldest brother and his nephew went directly to Yiru.
Find someone, Zhang He.
He is the only person in Gongxi Qiu Zhizhi who has seen the appearance of the "sacred object". If the "sacred object" Zhang He has seen is exactly the same as Mama's when she was young, the sacred object = Mama, it will be more reliable. Thinking of this,
He felt a little regretful about what happened back then.
Shen Tang had disguised his appearance when he went to meet Zhang He. If he had not disguised himself, he might have been able to find out the truth earlier.
After the matter was settled, he would go to his eldest brother and nephew.
With Bentou, Gong Xiqiu felt that his life was fulfilling.
Within two days, Qiu Cheng's body was also returned to the Qiu family.
As soon as the Qiu clan leader, Qiu Cheng's brother, received the news, his mind went blank, his expression seemed to be crying but not crying, and he kept muttering: "I never had the idea of forcing him to death. Why would he do this? Bai Jiao
Am I being poked in the spine by everyone in the world?"
His wife also had a serious look on her face.
The resentment towards Qiu Cheng in his heart deepened even more.
For the sake of blood and family ties, the couple were willing to repay kindness with kindness. Who knew that Qiu Wenyan, with a villain's heart, judged a gentleman's heart, and played a show of killing himself with a sword.
Isn't this putting the couple on the fire?
She gritted her teeth: "I really don't know what is good and what is good..."
Qiu Dalang frowned: "...that's all."
"What's that? You were framed for nothing! If I had known he would repay kindness with hatred, I would never have approved of you selling your private treasury to redeem him... Not only did you redeem a corpse, but you also had a brother who was forced to death."
Notoriety, can you swallow your breath?"
Qiu Dalang patiently comforted his furious wife.
He said softly: "It's hard to swallow, that's all. Let's think on the bright side, we still have something to breathe..."
The patriarch’s wife was still so angry that her teeth itched.
When she thought about having to face her widowed sister-in-law, her expression was as bad as if she had swallowed millions of flies. If she hadn't been good-tempered, she really wanted to ask someone to throw Qiu Fumiyan's coffin out. Since they believed that they were villains, why bother to take it anymore?
Are corpses disgusting?
No matter how unjust the couple was, they still had to pinch their noses and brace themselves to deal with Qiu Cheng's posthumous affairs.
Mrs. Qiucheng and her children cried so hard in front of the newly decorated mourning hall that they fainted for a time. In the eyes of the guests who came to express their condolences, there was something else. The patriarch and his wife stood aside to entertain the guests, looking awkward and embarrassed.
But he couldn't walk, he could only stand in place like a log.
The guests looked at them like needles.
Everyone thought that this was Qiu Dalang's plan to kill people with a knife, and they were secretly shocked by his cruelty. They also lamented that the brothers from the aristocratic family had no true feelings, and they actually got into a life-and-death fight. As a result of this quarrel, except for close friends, others gradually distanced themselves from the Qiu family.
.
The wives of other noble clans regarded the patriarch's wife as a snake and a scorpion.
And the culprit behind all this?
The social animal has entered 007 from 996.
Because there is a war plan for the coming year, Shen Tang and her team have no time to spare. Household registration, land, population... which one is not a big project? I wish I could use the twelve o'clock as the twenty-four o'clock. Not to mention the young people, even the
Dr. Dong, a young man of several years, also led a group of disciples and came over the starry night.
"Mr. Shen, would you like to conduct a national physical examination in Sibao County?" Dr. Dong is one of the few people who knows the real purpose behind the physical examination. After the first experience, he will be familiar with it the second time.
"Um."
Dr. Dong disagrees. They are too short of manpower and have to prepare for war and rebuild. The "physical examination" can be postponed. Anyway, the situation in Sibao County has stabilized. It is winter again and the people are on the move.
Not very sexual.
The people on the left and right can't run away, so there's no harm in waiting.
"We can't wait." Shen Tang's voice was gentle but with a firmness that could not tolerate opposition, "On this matter of Miao Shu, do as little as possible."
Shen Tang has never thought that all female literary scholars and brave warriors would be loyal to her. This is unrealistic. Who to loyal to and what path to pursue are personal choices. She hopes that even if some of them become rivals in the future, they can get the best results.
Basic respect, rather than becoming someone's forbidden or dispensable plaything.
They are pearls and should shine brightly.
When gathered it is a ball of fire, when scattered it is a sky full of stars.
Dr. Dong could only agree after hearing this.
but--
"Jun Shen, that manpower..."
Shen Tang threw Luan Xin over.
After all, he is Qiu Cheng's first counselor, the all-powerful one.
Luan Xin wondered: "But over there with cotton..."
Shen Tang: "There's Ling De watching over there."
Even if Sibao County is short of water, there will still be enough water to grow a few acres of cotton. There is no need for Luan Xin to use artificial rainfall for the time being. In other words, Luan Xin can take care of the government affairs of the Hucao Office while taking care of Dr. Dong.
I also did all the side work.
Looking at the lord who was taking it for granted, Luan Xin suppressed his emotions and said tactfully: "The affairs are trivial, I'm afraid I can't take care of them all." Has the lord ever calculated the workload???
Shen Tang painted the cake: "Justice, I believe you can do it!"
Luan Xin: "???"
If I weren't well-behaved, I would really want to ask, "It's okay!"
