Chapter 911 910: Two surnames (Part 1) [Please vote]
Jiang Sheng knew there was something going on as soon as he saw Gu Chi's reaction.
Temptation: "What does the lord mean..."
Gu Chi put his hands in his sleeves and took two steps away, as if to draw a clear line with Jiang Sheng, who was full of bad ideas: "What can my lord mean? Your heart is unpredictable. If you don't know it, Gu will know it."
?Han Zhang is right, you should restrain yourself. You can't plot against others. As long as you are not one of your own, this matter will be easy to handle."
If Gong Shuwu is not one of our own, he can design Wu Yuan to kill him. Gong Cheng and Wu Yuan will most likely turn against each other, or he can design Gong Cheng to kill him accidentally. Gong Cheng is young and inexperienced, his character is not strong enough and tough, and his strength relies on secrets.
The technique [Enlightenment] came, and the impact of that moment was enough to seriously injure him. At worst, his realm would be stopped, or at worst, his realm would be regressed.
Once Gong Cheng is destroyed, Beimo will lose a trump card.
However, Gong Shuwu is one of our own and a veteran figure, and we have a very close relationship. We can think about it in our hearts, but don’t do it in action: "If the Lord can trade half a step for one with Bei Mo, gentlemen,
Are you really not cold-hearted?"
If you can sacrifice a co-shuwu for maximizing interests today, you can sacrifice anyone for greater interests tomorrow.
The lord indeed has the intention to plot against Gong Cheng.
But they are definitely not as ruthless as these people think.
Each one of them was so cruel that even a dog would shake his head just looking at it.
Working with these colleagues, Gu Chi feels a lot of pressure. Fortunately, he can pry into the secrets of people's hearts, otherwise he would not know how he was betrayed by them. Gu Chi's preaching made several people dissatisfied - what does this have to do with crows laughing and pigs being black?
the difference?
Gu Wangchao dares to touch his conscience and say that he has not had similar thoughts?
If not, how could he react so quickly?
As a counselor, your duty is to come up with all the solutions. Whether or not to implement them, and which one to implement, depends on how the Lord decides: "How could you not know?"
Jiang Sheng didn't believe his lies.
What Gu Chi is best at is trying to figure out how to obey his lord, and the two masters and ministers will harmonize with each other. He has been flattering and flattering for so many years, and suddenly he says that he is strong-willed and upright?
Gu Chi only left one sentence——
"I don't know, I really don't know."
After that, he walked away.
There are still many trivial matters that need to be dealt with urgently.
Qi Shan said quietly: "Half step is a military commander. If he goes to the battlefield, it will be a matter of time before he encounters Gong Yunchi. Not to mention the relationship between uncle and nephew, there are not a few fathers and sons who fight to the death."
This matter does not depend on how they plan, but on how Gong Shuwu chooses - Gong Cheng does not know Gong Shuwu's identity, but Gong Shuwu knows Gong Cheng. If he knew that Gong Cheng was not dead and helped Beimo, Gong Shuwu
You have to climb the Northern Desert Frontline.
With Gong Cheng's strength, Gong Shuwu will definitely die.
Xun Zhen asked: "So?"
Qi Shan: "Tell Ban Bu in private. The news that Gong Yunchi is still alive will reach his ears sooner or later."
Xun Zhen nodded when he heard this.
If the next enemy is the Northern Desert who wants to devote all the country's efforts to conquering it, unless Gong Shuwu guards the rear, once he goes to the front line, what happens will be beyond human control. The lord wants to hide it, and he probably has this aspect.
consider.
But, how can you hide it?
Gong Shuwu is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
If he knew Gong Cheng's choice, he would personally understand Gong Cheng's difficulty, but in the face of the overall situation and hatred, he would probably prefer to clean up the family with his own hands, even if he can't defeat him.
This secret letter was delivered to Gong Shuwu half a month later.
Gong Shuwu's reaction was just as Xun Zhen and others had guessed. The expression on his face changed again and again, and finally settled on determination.
Everything that can be explained in the letter has been explained.
Including but not limited to the voice information heard by Gu Chi.
Gong Shuwu looked at the dazzling words "Enlightenment" in the letter, and lost control of his emotions for a moment. He pinched off the handle of the saber he used for morning exercises in his hand, exhaled a breath, looked at the sky and murmured: "Brother... Yunchi
The child suffered..."
It's just that Gong Cheng can work for anyone.
Only not for the Northern Desert.
General Gongshu burned this private letter to ashes without leaving any trace. He repaired it slightly and went back to training as usual.
He, who was already practicing hard, became even more dedicated.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Just when this secret letter was sent, representatives of the aristocratic families also came over, nominally to wish Shen Tang a happy life, but in fact they came to deliver the "hostages" selected by each family. The aristocratic families were entrenched in various places, and in order to reassure the royal court, they sent "hostages"
The "hostage" is a basic operation, usually the younger brother of the heir. The status will not be too high to make the family feel distressed, nor will it be too low to make the royal court dissatisfied.
Of course, it wasn't just to reassure Wang Ting.
At the same time, it also reassures the family.
There are connections in the royal capital, so if there is any trouble, they will be informed of the news as soon as possible and respond quickly.
If Shen Tang refuses these "hostages", each family will be uneasy and have random thoughts, worrying whether Shen Tang wants to be a monster again, which will be detrimental to their family. In view of Shen Tang's mind that does not mince words, the representatives of the family directly spoke out.
.
Unexpectedly, the unlucky man launched by the family is in good health again.
Shen Tang looked at Kang Nian, who came to the door on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and twitched his mouth slightly: "Bosui, you just came here once a year ago, and now you are here again. You have to spend a lot of time on the way back and forth. You are here
Are you going home to celebrate the New Year in a hurry and then hit the road again?"
Kang Nian's expression was numb.
Who is the person who caused him to go back and forth?
Kang Nian, who fully understood Shen Tang's brain circuit, learned from the previous two lessons and handed out a list from his arms, with the respective information of the "hostages" clearly written on it. Shen Tang took a cursory glance at age, gender, surname, and family origin.
The younger one is only five years old and still needs a nanny to take care of him. The older one is already thirty-five and is currently raising a family. Shen Tang raised his head and looked at Kang Nian.
"What's this?"
Kangnian said: "Hostage."
Shen Tang raised his voice: "...hostage?"
When did she ask each family to send hostages over?
What else did these aristocratic families think behind her back?
Kang Nian felt tired inexplicably. Why should such unspoken and unspoken rules be brought to the table? Sending out outstanding members of the clan as hostages in exchange for stability is a shameful thing. Aristocratic families also want to have face, so they often cover this move. A fig leaf.
Now it has to be spread out to dry.
Who wouldn't feel bad if I left it alone?
After Kang Nian forced himself to finish explaining, Shen Tang was forced to increase his knowledge, rubbed his forehead and said with a headache: "Okay, come as soon as you come, but the ugly words are ahead. I won't cover their food, clothing, housing and transportation. They will spend all their money." Let each family resolve it on its own."
These hostage expenses cannot be transferred to the public account.
Let Shen Tang pay out of his own pocket?
Haha, her pockets are cleaner than her face, and she still has a lot of debts that have not been paid off. How can she have the spare money to support the oil bottle sent by the family? The family's wishful thinking is very loud, but it's a pity - it only needs to be studied clearly by the Mo family. Shen Tang plans to work on a tour with the "holographic online remote conferencing technology" of the Society of Gods. Don't let the aristocratic family dream of having a high mountain and a distant emperor.
Shen Tang will appear anywhere.
Naturally, I was not prepared to tell Kang Nian these things.
"I will accept these people, you can do whatever you want."
Kang Nian left a deep psychological shadow on Shen Tang. She didn't want to see the dean's face at all, so she chased him away. Kang Nian also interacted with Shen Tang several times, and he somewhat understood her temperament. Not too afraid. Just——
"Shen Jun, Kang has a merciless request."
"That's what you say."
Kang Nian carefully said the purpose.
It turns out that there are also hostages in the Kang family.
He personally selected the candidate, and he had a dispute with his wife for two days. She was so angry that she almost returned to her parents' home overnight. Because the hostage was none other than her and Kang Nian's little daughter. This made the wife so angry that she burst into tears. How could anyone send a female hostage away? Why would they send their daughter away? Could it be that they are planning to wait until their daughter grows up in a few more years and have hair extensions, and then choose a husband directly in the royal capital?
Are you using your daughter's marriage as a bargaining chip?
Countless thoughts passed through Madam's mind.
Kang Nian couldn't explain much.
Shen Tang picked up the terrible hostage list again.
Sure enough, I saw the person selected by the Kang family in the corner: "So, what are we going to do? Let Ji Shou take his niece?"
It’s okay to live with Kang Shi.
Kang Nian absolutely trusted his brother.
Judging from the list information, Kang Nian's daughter still has a talent for cultivation. At a time when there are not many female monks, it is not a bad thing to send her daughter here, because Shen Tang has accumulated enough experience in female cultivation, and Kang Shi is With an uncle in charge, how could he let his niece delay her talent?
It is a blessing rather than a curse that this daughter stays in the royal capital.
Kangnian shook his head: "No."
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows and looked at Kang Nian, waiting for the next words.
Kang Nian said: "Actually, I want to meet my cousin."
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the cousin Kang Nian mentioned was Qi Shan - if Tan Qu didn't take off Qi Shan's vest, his connection with the Kang family would not be broken. But Kang Nian She doesn’t know Qi Shan’s true identity, but Shen Tang does.
"Isn't Ji Shou bad?"
Kang Shi was his biological uncle, so Kang Nian could still take the opportunity to repair the stale relationship between his family and Kang Shi. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
Kangnian smiled stiffly: "It's not appropriate."
He had seen with his own eyes what Kang Shi was capable of. Even if this happened, he couldn't blame Kang Shi, but Kang Shi couldn't control it. If something happened to his daughter, it would be hard for him to explain to his wife.
After thinking about it, praying for kindness is the most appropriate thing.
However, after all, Qi Shan is Shen Tang's important minister, and Kang Nian is not only his cousin, but also the head of the Kang family. If they want to have private contact with each other in their current status, they must obtain Shen Tang's permission to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and trouble. Come and kill yourself.
Shen Tang will not pray for good health, but he will pray for the Kang family.
This answer made Shen Tang twitch his lips.
She waved her hand and agreed: "I understand, you can go ahead."
Dealing with people from aristocratic families is really exhausting. Qin Li is from a pretty good background, so why don't he have these bad habits?
Kangnian received permission and then bowed and left.
A large number of hostages were uniformly placed in the camp.
He took his daughter to visit Qi Shan.
After receiving the information, Qi Shan is at the main camp right now.
He had carefully considered the choice of Qi Shan. Choosing Kang Shi would certainly allow his younger brother, who had been away from the family for many years, to get close to the family. However, Kang Shi was in a special situation. Before the path of the scribes was perfected, the two parties should not get too close. Kang Nian then thought of Piao. younger brother.
Due to the grudges of the previous generation, the two families had long lost contact. The Qi family had been in decline these years, and the Kang family could only take care of her privately.
According to Kang Shi, cousin Qi Shan has not yet gotten married and has children, and there is not even a woman around him. He is devoted to his career and is not attracted to women. Kang Nian looked at the achievements of "Evil Plan" over the years and is convinced of this. .With such a busy schedule, I really don’t have any extra energy to spend time having fun and having children.
And when he learned from Kang Shi that Qi Shan had the idea of adopting a child, Kang Nian's mind came alive and he had an idea.
The daughter he brought looked very much like his aunt.
This was confirmed by my mother herself.
Because of her appearance, her mother also loved her granddaughter very much and often said that her granddaughter was exactly like her nephew Qi Shan.
[Everyone in the world says that a nephew is like an uncle, so he is naturally similar.]
Kang Nian squinted slightly, trying to recall Qi Shan's face.
He and Qi Shan were not of the same age. As the eldest son of Kang and the future patriarch, he had a lot to learn and could not play with Qi Shan. In Kang Nian's memory, he had seen Qi Shan once or twice. At that time, Qi Shan is still short, white and fat. He wears many clothes in winter and looks like a ball.
The unopened eyebrows are somewhat similar to those of my daughter when she was young.
"Have you remembered everything that your father told you clearly?" Kangnian pulled back from his memory and whispered to his daughter on the side.
The daughter nodded: "My daughter remembers."
Kangnian sighed and stroked her bun: "That's good."
As a father, he naturally wants to find a good future for his child. This daughter has been taught as a boudoir daughter since she was born, teaching her to grow into a qualified wife of an aristocratic family. All Kangnian can do is look after her.
A well-matched husband's family should choose a husband who is reliable and can protect her for the rest of her life, and then give her a generous dowry when she gets married.
only--
Compared with everything her brother inherited, these were so insignificant. Kangnian had no intention of sending his daughter, and originally planned to send the second son. The eldest son would inherit the large family, and the second son could only make his own future, and he could not inherit the family property.
many.
He is also willing to give the opportunity to his second son.
As for where you go in the future, it depends on your personal destiny.
It just so happened that my daughter came to wish me New Year greetings.
While the family was watching the New Year's Eve, Kang Nian looked at his daughter's quiet and docile appearance. In his ears was his wife's voice talking about the suitable husbands of various families. His daughter was sitting next to her with her head slightly lowered. There was no shyness, no joy, and no trace of happiness on her face.
perturbed.
Those childish eyes were more blank.
She only vaguely knew what "husband-in-law" and "law-in-law" were, which were the guarantee of a stable life for the rest of her life. However, she was frightened about the transformation from a boudoir daughter to a housewife. Kangnian looked at his daughter in a daze, as if in a trance.
It was the wife I first met when I was young, and she was just a few years older.
He asked his daughter: "Do you have any thoughts about your husband?"
She was timid: "Father and mother can make the decision."
Kang Nian had a bold idea in his mind for no reason. He chose his daughter as a hostage and brought her to Qi Shan, who was guilty but confused: "Cousin, long time no see."
Qishan showed a false smile: "Brother."
Kangnian turned sideways and gave way to his daughter.
He didn't notice that Qi Shan's face was empty for a moment, his eyes suddenly widened, staring at Kang Nian's daughter. The girl was startled, suppressing her fear of the stranger, she bowed dignifiedly and called out in a low voice.
: "I met uncle."
Qishan was awakened by the sound of "uncle".
Kang Nian saw the legendary "Evil Conspiracy" perform in situ with its hands and feet doing its own thing, as if it had just been installed.
"Ah? Ah...ah!"
"I wasn't prepared for the first meeting..."
Qi Shan frantically touched his waist with his hands and feet.
Without looking at it, he pulled off an accessory and handed it out as a gift. Kangnian was almost speechless: "Cousin, this is the monogram."
Can the Wen Xin Monogram be given away?

My eyelids seemed to be stuck when I woke up today, but they were much better in the afternoon, and the pain in my throat was reduced by half. I think it will be better tomorrow.
PS: Qi Shan and the Kang family brothers are cousins. Kang Nian’s daughter should be called Uncle Qi Shan? I’ll change it.
PPS: No, it’s hard to figure out this relationship. Are they cousins or first cousins?
