779: Wu Xian asks for help (Part 1) [Please vote for me]
The old ministers of the Xin Kingdom ate this celebration banquet absentmindedly.
Luan Cheng, who was following Luan Xin, also couldn't eat.
“The food is not to your liking?”
Luan Xin keenly noticed something strange about his nephew.
Luan Cheng's face seemed to be in a dilemma, because most of the people here were literate scholars/valiant warriors with excellent ears. Whispering was no different from shouting. If someone had a sense of what he said, he would also [transmit the sound into the secret] and speak privately.
Chat privately to avoid embarrassment.
Luan Xin asked: "When did you become so unhappy?"
Just say whatever you have!
No one would care about him if he said he was wrong.
Luan Cheng was about to [transmit the sound into the secret], but was dumbfounded for a moment.
His uncle refused to join a small group for private chat.
Luan Cheng felt like he was sitting on pins and needles for a moment, squirming his buttocks on the mat, and finally said: "Uncle, Shen Nujun is really as popular as the rumors. My nephew has admired her for a long time. Today, I can see the real person. For a moment, for a moment, I feel...
A little nervous."
All the old ministers of the Xin Kingdom looked like they were bowing their heads and enjoying their meal, but in fact they were secretly paying attention to the conversation between Luan's uncle and nephew, and their hearts tightened.
"There is no need to be nervous, my lord is the most kind-hearted person."
His seemingly calm eyes were filled with approval.
My nephew is still discerning.
Seeing that his uncle did not reprimand or correct the title "Shen Nujun", he acquiesced that the title was correct. Luan Cheng and all the old officials of the Xin State felt even more complicated - the lady Shen sitting at the top was actually
A real girl?
Xie Qi looked at the faces that were hesitating to speak and were hesitating to speak, and he sighed a lot. His reaction to learning the truth was not much better than theirs. He was about to pick up a piece of barbecue when Danfu Wen's heart trembled.
The instrument uses the skill of lowering its eyes to receive the spirit of words.
A colleague who I once had a good relationship with [transmitted the message into the secret].
Former colleague: [Shizang, did you know she is a woman?]
Xie Qi replied with Wen Qi Hua Yin: [I know.]
There was a long silence on the part of the former colleagues.
Xie Qi smiled and said: [What are you worried about?]
The former colleague uttered four words: [Fuck Si Chen.]
Little did he know that as soon as he said these words, many pairs of eyes fell on him either openly or covertly, but he was completely unaware of them.
A former colleague said: [This is an unprecedented sign!]
When a strange sign appears, there must be something ominous!
Xie Qi secretly wiped his cold sweat and said: "Why do you think so much? In terms of omens, can anyone be more weird than Zheng Qiao? Come on, don't worry about it. Your life was saved by others.
Sitting in someone else’s place, spreading these deceptive words... It’s easy to repay kindness with hatred. If you can’t accept it, you can continue to live in seclusion and indulge in the mountains and rivers.]
When Zheng Qiao was in power, he did whatever he wanted to do to make things worse.
Living under Zheng Qiao, if she said something that she shouldn't say, she would die without knowing it; if she was under the tent of Lord Shen Jun, she would probably be too lazy to pay attention to the white-skinned man's innocent moans, and there would be no risk of being convicted for her words.
This alone should be a blessing.
After ending a private chat, there is another private chat.
Xie Qi's good temper has to be dealt with one by one.
Summary center, one sentence——
All the beauties were once the rulers of all kingdoms, so what about women?
Those who are interested in becoming an official should take the opportunity to plan carefully, and those who cannot accept it should continue to stay at home and lie down. This is not a matter of force.
One of his former colleagues asked him: "What does Shizang mean by this? Are you prepared to wholeheartedly assist this female monarch?"
[Of course.] Xie Qi admitted openly and said, [The eldest daughter and the second daughter in the family worshiped Ning Tunan as their teacher, and the younger daughter also found a famous teacher to lead the way. You can't even recognize Ning Tunan, right? We are all classmates.
Well. I am destined to have no children in this life, so the Xie family will have to rely on three daughters to support the family. Hey, three! My three daughters all have at least above-average qualifications...]
If it wasn't allowed, I would have wanted to pat my thigh.
The proportion of good seedlings with cultivation qualifications is very low!
Former colleague: [……]
Just because parents are qualified does not necessarily mean that their children will be. The advantage of a large family lies in inheritance and foundation. Each household has a large collection of spiritual books. In addition, the cultivation experience left by the ancestors of the family can make qualified members of the family
Children avoid detours. In addition, their network of contacts is extremely wide, and by exchanging resources, they can easily obtain the teaching resources that the common people dream of.
Of course, it’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.
If a family cannot produce a qualified clan member in one generation, life will be difficult. In order to protect the family from decline, many aristocratic families either have more children, even sons, or look for one or two qualified children from the private sector.
When they come to the heir who is not qualified enough, the two grow up together, using their feelings and interests as bargaining chips to make the other person willing to be his right-hand man.
Whether it is a boy or a girl, whether they have qualifications or not, these are beyond human control. Daughters are the link in marriage, exchange of benefits, and maintenance of in-law relationships. When the family is at its peak, they are the icing on the cake, and when the family is in decline, they are used to delay the decline.
The worst thing is to fall into the situation of the Luan clan. Not only the main clan has very few people, but the only trace of blood is the daughter, and the head of the family and the mistress died young. The other branch clan members will be like beasts that smell blood.
She pounced on him and ate them all up. Luan Nujun was lucky, and she made a prompt decision to choose a man named Luan Xin who had enough qualifications to adopt him, thus avoiding being devoured.
Xie Qi's wife was even pregnant with three children. These former colleagues mentioned him occasionally when they got together, and they all sweated for him. Among them, there were some who were on good terms with each other and had no shortage of sons. They once thought of adopting one of Xie Qi's children.
Thought - The family property is fixed, and the bulk of it will be given to the eldest son, while the other sons will receive a limited share. Rather than losing the tail, it is better to give it to the family as a token of appreciation for a better future.
Naturally, Xie Qi did not agree. In addition, there was Zheng Qiao, a high-voltage manufacturing machine, above him. The Xie clan members who had the idea of extinguishing their families did not reach out to Xie Qi for the time being. Who knew, Xie Qi actually came?
A desperate counterattack—three!
How many blind boxes do you need to open to get it together???
Hearing Xie Qi's triumphant tone, the qualifications of the Three Golden Flowers were definitely better than Xie Qi's, and the faces of his colleagues were sour and twisted!
No wonder he didn't hesitate at all and accepted it readily.
Co-authoring takes such a huge advantage!
Several colleagues stared at the food on the table.
If their family's daughter of the right age can produce three qualified seedlings at once, they will happily accept it! If they are worried about the insecurity, they can choose a few outstanding ones to prevent the third generation from returning to the family.
.
If your son-in-law is uneasy in the capital, then deal with it secretly.
Several people glanced at Luan Cheng in unison.
We can't cause farce like Luan's to make people laugh.
Luan Xin: "..."
Oh, these people are using Luan as a stone to cross the river, right?
On the surface, the celebration banquet was lively and lively, celebrating the hard-won achievements together; secretly, he turned into a melon field, and all kinds of gossip could not be eaten. Specifically, it refers to Shen Tang's private chat about the old ministers of the Xin State, and the content starts from
"Nvjun Shen is a strange sign", and "Sichen the hen" gradually transitioned into the younger generation of women in the clan. Qualifications can be roughly assessed as soon as they are born.
In the past, women could not practice cultivation, and the male heirs they gave birth to could open a blind box. Daughters did not even have any expectations. Even if they knew they had the qualifications, they could only sigh why they were not born as boys, or why the qualifications were not in their brothers.
.
Now the situation is different again.
Sitting at the top, Mr. Shen obviously has mastered the secret of female cultivation, and his previous understanding was shattered by the hard facts.
Those who are not short of heirs are not too cold about it. After all, the prejudice against daughters has been around for a long time and suddenly reversed, and their subconscious minds are also resisting. Those who are jealous of the lack of heirs have different ideas, because they are profitable and easy to accept.
Shen Tang did not interfere in any way.
Firstly, these are not her courtiers, and no matter how long her hands are, she cannot interfere with each other's family affairs; secondly, it is not a good thing to have too many aristocratic family members. It is true that obtaining their investment will save a lot of trouble, but Shen Tang wants them to lower their profile
Beg for yourself, rather than beg them with a shameful face. If you are soft-spoken and short-handed, if you rely too much on them, you will be controlled by others.
If you want to move them someday, it won't be easy.
Shen Tang has his own rules in mind regarding the choice.
Following the content of their conversation, Shen Tang also learned a lot about their identities, family backgrounds, and connections. Overall, the harvest of this celebration banquet was greater than expected.
Because Cui Xiao is a newcomer, Shen Tang pays more attention to him in the past two days and basically takes him with him wherever he goes. On the one hand, he can get to know Cui Xiao better, and on the other hand, it also allows Cui Xiao to have more contact with her team. This move will inevitably lead to another
Provoked Gu Chi's sarcastic words.
Gu Chi said thoughtfully: [It looks like! It’s so similar! I heard that every new person who comes to the imperial court will be pampered for a while. ]
Shen Tang:【……】
Because of Gu Chi, the look in her eyes when she looked at Cui Xiao was wrong.
On the third day of the celebration banquet, Shen Tang was still worried about medicinal materials.
Now that she has Chaoliguan as a natural barrier, she is less stressed about fighting. What worries her most right now is the epidemic in Yanzhou.
These days, the floods have completely subsided.
The soldiers and horses under Shen Tang's tent are proficient in the demolition and reconstruction of various buildings. They are also good at dredging rivers and reinforcing dams. Once the situation in Yanzhou stabilizes, they can send people out to get started. Only the epidemic makes her more troublesome. She is really lacking. The medicine is here!
If we delay for one more day, countless patients will be killed by the epidemic, and Shen Tang does not have enough medicinal materials.
In the past, I could exchange medicinal materials with Zhang He, but now——
The two families are at odds and there must be a fight!
When she told the newcomer Cui Xiao about the difficulty, Cui Xiao's reaction was a little strange: "My lord, forgive Xiao for my blunt words, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with Huang Lie and others, not to rescue the victims."
If we don't solve the root causes and stabilize the situation everywhere, no matter how hard we try, we will be easily destroyed by a war.
Shen Tang sighed: "Why don't I know?"
But the problem is that she has already absorbed the refugees and transferred them in batches to the Chaoli Pass, which was relatively less affected by the disaster.
If he ignores it, even if Shen Tang takes over places like Yanzhou and Qianzhou in the future, it won't work if there are only a few living people.
In addition, she has another consideration.
"...All the members of the Dragon Slaying Bureau allied forces spent their money to fight this war. How much food is available? If we don't transfer all these people, Huang Xiguang and the others will be forced to retreat after they have lost all their food and grass." Come on, I still don’t know where to get military rations.”
Because of more than two hundred years of melee, the moral bottom line has been breached in countless ways. There was a psychological burden at first, but once there are more examples, it becomes even more justified to fall.
The other forces in the Dragon Slaying Bureau are somewhat burdened by their family background, so they have to be shameless and won't do this until they get to that point, but Huang Xiguang is different. He is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
Shen Tang said softly: "If I want to reshape order, I must set an example and let everyone in the world know what order is."
Even if her persistence makes simple things complicated.
Cui Xiao, who was standing behind him, did not respond. Shen Tang laughed at himself and said, "It sounds very indecisive, right?"
Cui Xiao finally responded.
"No, absolutely not."
Compared with depravity and indulgence, it is too difficult to stick to one's heart.
Precisely because of the difficulty, one can see the lord's determination to establish order. This fact gave Cui Xiao a surprise like finding a treasure. If his expectations for Shen Tang were only seven points, then the latter's performance made him see ten points. possible.
However, the ideal is full but the reality is cruel.
Medicinal materials, a scarce strategic resource, have very few private reserves and are mostly concentrated in the treasury of each family, such as the group of old officials of the Xin State. They were gathered by Zheng Qiao to Qianzhou as hostages. Most of the family resources are in their ancestral hometown and are relatively well preserved. .
Shen Tang also came up with this idea.
Cui Xiao said: "It's okay to deal with them, but my lord still needs to remember the lessons learned from Duke Wu."
Every chip obtained from them is essentially an IOU, which must be repaid with interest in the future.
Shen Tang said: "This is natural."
I don't know if it was Wu Xian who couldn't help but talk about it. As soon as he mentioned this person, a troop of soldiers and horses approached outside Liguan City.
Shen Tang didn't frown.
"how many people?"
"Thirty-four people!"
So few people?
Shen Tang asked again: "Which banner is it?"
"Tianhai Wu family!"
The city wall's rotating guards were Zhao Wei and Xu Quan. When the two knew each other's origins, they waved their hands to signal the hidden arrows from the arrow tower to be put down. They ordered people to detain the people and informed the lord of the news without stopping. Gu Ziyi was destroyed, and the relationship between the lord and the dragon slaying bureau was
Okay, only Tianhai and Wu Xian are left. This may be the only ally!
Shen Tang summoned the leader of this team.
The leader was an unfamiliar face.
When the other party saw Shen Tang in a blouse, he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, cupped his fists and said, "I've met Mr. Shen."
Shen Tang said: "Brother Zhaode, are you okay?"
Looking at the status of the messenger, I can see that it is not very good.
Their troops broke out of the encirclement. There were more than a hundred people at the beginning, but by the time they were killed, less than 40% were left...
The messenger took out a letter from his arms and gave it to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang opened it and read ten lines at a glance.
Judging from the content of the letter, Wu Xian's situation is not too bad. He is like a greedy snake, eating away at several small forces along the way. If he is unlucky enough, he can also fight against Huang Lie.
However, if you can't stand Huang Lie, this guy will scare you.
The battle report was received on the front line, and Zhang He and Huang Lie reached an alliance.
It was quite difficult for Wu Xianruo to be flanked by these two men.
In order to increase the chance of survival, forming an alliance is the best choice. He sent news to both Shen Tang and Gu Ziyi, but he heard that Gu Ziyi had been killed, and his only hope was pinned on Shen Tang.
Shen Tang looked down at the letter and thought deeply.
The messenger lamented: "Does Mr. Shen know that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold?"
She turned the letter upside down on the table and said sternly: "Shen has a deep love for brother Zhaode, Tangdi, and has received a lot of help from him. It is known to the world. Now that brother Zhaode is in trouble, how can he be ungrateful?"
