Back Off, Let Me Come

As soon as Shen Tang came back, he saw Chu Yao standing outside the camp waiting for a long time. The latter was looking at her with a smile, his eyes going back and forth between her and Qi Shan. When he was sure that there was no sign of displeasure, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and the smile on his face became a little brighter.

"Goro is back."

A simple greeting.

Shen Tang said, "Well, Wuhui Xun, do you have anything to do with me?"

When she got a little closer, she found that Chu Yao's clothes were stained with cold air. It was obvious that he didn't come here by chance. He must have been wandering outside the tent for a long time. Shen Tang thought that Chu Yao had something important to do with her, but she was obviously wrong.

Chu Yao shook his head and said: "Nothing, I just saw that Wu Lang had not returned for a long time, and I was worried that he had lost his way. I was thinking of sending someone out to find you and Yuan Liang. I hope I come back safely."

Qi Shan couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly after hearing this.

This excuse is really lame and perfunctory.

Is it so difficult to directly admit that you are worried about your lord and him?

Haha, to be honest, it’s quite difficult.

Shen Tang did not doubt, raised his hand to open the tent, and motioned for Chu Yao to go in and warm himself up - although the literary scholar's body and bones were much better than ordinary people, but after seeing Chu Yao's old and frail appearance, Shen Tang always had a problem. Plant the illusion that he is in poor health.

By the way, I also have something to tell Chu Yao.

Regarding meeting Gong Xiqiu at night and being told about the "Gu disaster in Wu State" by him, Gu Ren was also involved.

Chu Yao was stunned for a while when he heard this.

He had never expected that his Wulang would encounter so many things just after going out. What was even more shocking was that Gong Xiqiu dared to kill him single-handedly - such a confident and reckless warrior could still It's really rare.

After hearing this, Chu Yao pondered for a few breaths.

He whispered: "If the truth is as Wulang guessed, Gong Xiqiu's strength is related to conquering the evil spirits... Then this Shaochong will probably be great in the future. He is particularly obedient to Gu Ren... However, Wulang's considerations It’s not unreasonable…”

At present, Gu Ren is not an enemy.

Instead of thinking about weakening the enemy's strength, it is better to think about strengthening yourself. If the Shaochong thing works properly, Gu Ren owes a favor to the Lord, which is extremely beneficial to his side. Wulang currently has no foundation, so he must take advantage of the situation to develop himself...

and--

This is probably also the "examination question" Gong Xiqiu gave Wulang.

This test question contains mostly test elements. Chu Yao was thinking about how much benefit he could get from this free favor - compared with his poor Wu Lang, Gu Ren could really be regarded as a "rich man", and he would be sorry if he didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity.

Compared to Chu Yao's tact, Shen Tang plays straight.

"It's better to have many friends than one enemy." Shen Tang sat cross-legged carelessly, with his elbow bent against one knee and his chin resting on his palm, and said with a tut, "Besides, Zheng Qiao hasn't fallen yet. At the moment, I still want to live my own little life.”

Be it Gu Ren or Wu Xian, leader of the alliance.

For a long time, the two were allies.

Gee, "rich ally" to be precise?

Qishan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up and said: "I 'borrowed' land from Alliance Leader Wu Xian before...Wu Xian is a soft-eared person who is easy to talk to, but Qin Li beside him is not a good person... he 'borrowed' it" This place may be detrimental to us."

If an area is designated in Wu Xianzhi's subordinate area...

Restrict military training, restrict people's livelihood, restrict trade...

We put a lot of effort into developing such a place, but in the end we just made wedding dresses for leader Wu Xian, working in vain.

Once the "lease period" is up, the people left behind will leave. With Qin Li's attitude of being on every possible precaution against him, he could definitely do this!

It's not like Chu Yao hasn't worried about this.

Hearing that Gu Ren owed a favor, he had a good idea. Shen Tang was no longer sleepy when he heard this, and immediately became energetic - after all, it was the first small piece of land, which had a different meaning. If the start could be simpler, who would be willing to challenge the hell difficulty?

Chu Yao and Qi Shan looked at each other.

The two always have a tacit understanding on this kind of issue.

He said: "We can bypass Alliance Leader Wu Xian."

Shen Tang frowned: "Bypass him?"

How to get around this?

Chu Yao: "As Wu Lang said, Zheng Qiao has not fallen yet, and he still has soldiers and horses in his hands. Even the leader of the alliance army Wu Xian dare not openly oppose him. If we can defeat the rebels this time, Retaking the occupied Sibao County is a great achievement. All members of the Alliance should be rewarded based on their merits. Then, why not let Gu Ren come forward to recommend it?"

By "borrowing land" from leader Wu Xian, the initiative lies with Wu Xian.

But with Gu Ren’s recommendation, the initiative lies with you.

At least there is some autonomy in the selection of places.

Moreover, it was Zheng Qiao who personally issued the paperwork.

In essence, even if it is the same place, the meaning is different. At least when the "lease period" expires, you can justifiably refuse to pay back the debt. Yes, Chu Yao and the others never thought about paying it back. I borrowed it based on my ability, what else do I need?

As for why you have to focus on Wu Xian’s territory?

Naturally, it’s because it’s easy to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree.

There is chaos everywhere, and if you go out alone, you will face the dilemma of being surrounded by enemies. It is better to choose a neighbor who knows the roots of the problem. The family is too poor to open the pot, but you can go there and have a break.

Furthermore——

The territory Wu Xian controls privately is indeed good.

Shen Tang's stomach was rumbling with bad water.

She smiled and said, "That's a good idea."

Qi Shan: "But we can't completely offend Wu Xian."

Therefore, the choice of site is particularly important.

Shen Tang nodded repeatedly.

I'm afraid Shen Tang, Gu Ren, and Wu Xian didn't expect that they magically came up with something, but the starting point was completely different.

On the second day, Shen Tang used his uncle Wudang as an excuse to ask Gu Ren to borrow a doctor. During the chat, he mentioned the territory he planned to "borrow" from leader Wu Xian - this place was picked out by Chu Yao and Qi Shan overnight. . When Gu Ren heard this, his heart moved.

He said: "Master Shen is really confused."

Shen Tang pretended to be puzzled: "Ah? Where are you confused?"

Gu Ren said: "The people of that place are fierce and it is not easy to take over. It is really not worth it for Master Shen to exchange his contribution to defeating Gong Xiqiu in front of the battle. What did the leader of the alliance say to you?" He couldn't help but secretly wonder. I suspect Wu Xian is bullying a child and has never seen the world.

Or maybe he said something to coax Shen Tang.

Shen Tang neither said yes nor no, she just looked confused and a little flustered: "What should we do? If we change the place again, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Leader Wu to speak." After that, she looked very embarrassed. appearance.

All he had to do was write on his face, "I don't know what rejection means and I'm super easy to bully." He looked innocent and had never been beaten up by society. Shen Tang is young and has a tender face, which makes her temperament even more obvious, making people feel affectionate for her.

Regarding age——

Shen Tang is the same age as most of the children of the Alliance Army, and looking at her appearance, even an old fox like Gu Ren would be deceived if caught off guard. In addition, Gu Ren also wanted to "borrow flowers to offer to Buddha" to repay the favor, so it was natural for him to follow the trend.

He said: "This is easy to handle!"

Shen Tang thought about it and felt aggrieved: "This, this is all, because offending Leader Wu about this matter is not worth the gain... He may not be happy to borrow it from other places... They are just some bandits and evil people. I have a common uncle, and I still have to pay for it." Are you afraid that you won’t be able to suppress them?”

Gu Ren said: "But this would be too unfair."

After thinking carefully, Gu Ren came up with his own suggestion: "If not, where will Gu come forward to recommend you to take up the post?"

If Wu Xian had not been killed in the process, the position of alliance leader would most likely fall on Gu Ren. It can be seen that Gu Ren's reputation and popularity are quite good. He said hello to the others and spoke together, and the matter was settled.

The actual control of that place is in Wu Xian's hands. Presumably the leader of the country, Zheng Qiao, would not mind issuing this appointment document as a way of "driving a wedge" between the alliance forces. The more he thought about it, the more Gu Ren felt that this was feasible, and now all he had to do was wait for Shen Tang to nod.

How could Shen Tang not nod?

There was some excitement on his face, but he still said that he would go back and discuss with Qi Shan and others before making a decision. Gu Ren didn't push too hard.

Things went very smoothly.

After leaving Gu Ren, Shen Tang returned to his tent and received an invitation from the alliance leader Wu Xian.

Shen Tang took a sip of tea to moisten his dry lips.

She joked: "I can still have a meal here."

As she expected, leader Wu Xian was really in charge of the food.

A small banquet was held to entertain Shen Tang.

Because Shen Tang couldn't drink, he drank tea instead.

After changing cups, leader Wu Xian asked about "borrowing" the land. However, he did not open his mouth to decide on the "rented" land. Instead, he kicked the ball to Shen Tang and asked her if she wanted to "borrow" it. where. Listen to her opinion and decide whether to adopt it or not.

Shen Tang smiled shyly and opened her mouth to "borrow" a piece of land that was not too big or too small, not too barren or not rich, under the rule of Wu Xian Alliance, but she knew that no one would borrow this land.

If it were "lent", Wu Xian himself couldn't take care of both ends. Wasn't he looking for death? He immediately refused with an embarrassed expression.

It’s just that the reason is interesting.

This place is the hometown of his second wife. She has to go back to visit her during the holidays, so it is not convenient to "rent it out".

Although she was rejected, Shen Tang was not disappointed.

There are alternatives anyway.

Gu Chi accompanied him throughout the whole process and watched the show with great interest. He sighed inwardly - I didn't expect that Shen Lang had two sides, and he was quite experienced in singing, chanting, and fighting. What on earth made Qi Yuanliang and Chu Wuhui have the illusion that Shen Lang was innocent?

Is this called simplicity?

Gu Chi, who had no expression on his face, was lost in thought. As he watched the two men test and "play hard to get" again and again, the topic finally got to the point.

Leader Wu Xian said: "How is He Yin?"

Shen Tang was just right to be confused: "He Yin?"

Wu Xian started the sales mode.

Bragging about Ha Yoon's merits.

The most important point is that Heyin is next to Wu Xian's site instead of inside it. It will be more convenient for Shen Tang to develop in the future. Compared with nearby sites, the land is relatively flat and vast, with mountains and forests, and rivers running through it. Not bad indeed.

At least on the surface, Wu Xian's constraints will be minimal.

What’s the actual situation——

You'll know once you go there.

Anyway, this is the way of sales promotion. Before the sale, we try our best to promote and expand the advantages. Once the product is confirmed, we will not be responsible for the after-sales service.

Shen Tang was embarrassed: "I have heard of this place called Heyin... Ordinarily, I shouldn't reject Brother Wu's kindness, but..."

He Yin said it was big or small, and it was not small either.

Two hundred people thrown in can't make a splash.

Wu Xian's sales pitch was too half-hearted.

"Ahem, this good brother doesn't have to worry..."

Leader Wu Xian clapped his hands.

After a while, a burly man walked in from outside the tent.

It was Zhao Feng, whose face was still a little pale. He was beaten by Gong Xiqiu yesterday, and his injuries had not fully recovered yet.

Shen Tang looked at Zhao Feng and then at Alliance Leader Wu Xian, confused. Wu Xian smiled and gave Shen Tang a "free settling-in gift package": "Yesterday, I wanted to thank brother Xian for saving Dayi's life. If you don't give up, let Dayi go over and help you? How about that?"

When saying this, Alliance Leader Wu Xian felt a little guilty.

That place in Ha Yin...

He looked a little sad.

With a thousand-number private unit led by Zhao Feng and Zhao Feng, facing He Yin, who is all evil and has a tough character, it feels more or less like driving people into a pit of fire. If it weren't for Qin Qing (Qin Li)'s insistence, leader Wu Xian would actually want to change places.

At least--

It doesn't look that deceptive.

Lend one of your confidants?

Shen Tang's mouth twitched inwardly.

Zhao Feng is indeed a powerful and courageous warrior. Shen Tang saved his life, so there is absolutely no problem in logic that he came to repay the kindness of saving his life. At the same time, it can also convey to the outside world the goodwill of Leader Wu Xian towards Shen Tang. As for whether Zhao Feng was allowed to keep an eye on Shen Tang...

This is a matter of benevolence and wisdom.

At least, with Zhao Feng here, Shen Tang would have to worry about some small moves. Despite these constraints - Shen Tang accepted it after hesitating for three seconds. Zhao Feng had obviously been greeted in advance, and he responded without saying anything.

As for what kind of gathering place for jackals, tigers and leopards is Heyin?

Zhao Feng didn't care.

When Zhai Le heard about this, the matter was a foregone conclusion.

He asked a question that came from his soul.

"Why such roundabout ways?"

Shen Tang said: "Of course there are 'difficulties'."

Relying on this merit, Shen Lang could justifiably win a place in front of Zheng Qiao - it was not safe to detain the Alliance Army people, so it was better to spread them further and disperse them - in this way, there was indeed no need to go through The hands of Wu Xian and Gu Ren.

The only drawback is that it's not transparent.

It's as exciting as opening a blind box.

There are so many advantages that you don’t have to count them all.

but--

There is a big problem before Shen Tang.

This problem was also something Qishan and the others reminded her of.

In a sense, she and Zheng Qiao are on the same level - they are both owners of the national seal, and they are kings without seeing each other. Once they meet, it is very likely that they will "break the sky and the earth will collapse", and they will perceive each other - so , the possibility of Shen Tang being exposed is too great.

Qishan didn't dare to bet on this "possibility".

Therefore, Zheng Qiao can only be avoided.

In other words, someone needs to come forward to fight for her.

Leader Wu Xian and Gu Ren are just right.

As for the little "petty profit" lost...

If it is lost, it is lost. The most important thing is to achieve the goal.

Zhai Huan did not find out what the "difficulty" was.

but--

"I've been to Heyin, that area——"

Zhai Le shook his head as he spoke and looked at Shen Tang worriedly.

He was worried that Brother Shen would suffer a big loss.

In Heyin, there are either people or food.

Otherwise, it is almost impossible to completely take it down.

Shen Tang smiled and said: "Don't be too pessimistic, Xiaofang. There must be a way for a car to reach the mountain, and for a boat to reach the bridge - believe me, there is no perfect way. The most important thing is - I believe that there is still a way in this world. No one can be as strong as my sword."

"If there is..."

Shen Tang's smile suddenly disappeared.

"Just cut it!"

_(:3　∠)_

You really overestimate yourself.

In the afternoon, I went to get a long manicure with nails added. It took two hours to trim and trim my nails. It cost more than 200 yuan. Good guy, when I came back, I found that I couldn’t type at all...

I have tried the keyboard, but I am so angry when I see that time is almost passing and I haven’t typed a few words yet!

I had no choice but to cut off a lot of my beautiful and fresh long nails, which was heartbreaking!

Just like that, I still only wrote two chapters and couldn't finish it.

Gan!

I will definitely make up for yesterday’s update tomorrow!

make a fist!

PS: It’s really hard to choose a place with a name that doesn’t have the same name as in reality. I scratched my head and picked a dozen. When I checked Baidu, they were all used ancient place names. What kind of luck is this? ? ? He Yin is just He Yin, don’t care.
