Back Off, Let Me Come

"It's actually you..."

Shen Tang carefully recognized Liu Guan's face.

"Master Shen has a good memory. I'm at Liuguan, Zi Yuanyou."

"Okay! Very good! You actually dare to appear in front of me! It seems that my evil reputation is not enough to scare people, or it may be that these years of self-cultivation have made people forget about methods!" Shen Tang's smile has not changed, but it is obviously better. A bit scary and murderous.

Liu Guan's lips raised in sarcasm.

She was forced to look up at Shen Tang from bottom to top, but the arrogance in the corners of her eyes and brows made it seem like she was the one condescending: "Why don't you dare to meet Lord Shen? If fate is on me, Liu can still see the prisoner. Lord Shen. However, military strategists are always cruel in victory and defeat. Liu only hates his own incompetence and is destined to regret it."

Not only was he not afraid of meeting Shen Tang, he was also eager to see her.

Unfortunately, her current identity is not what she expected.

Liu Guan's nonsense did not anger Shen Tang, but first frightened Brother Tude. The personal guards loyally escorted him to escape. He thought he had finally escaped, but unexpectedly, several soldiers suddenly appeared in the distance and surrounded them. Surrounded, all personal guards died in battle.

Brother Tude saw the gray-haired scribe.

Chu Yao looked at Brother Tude up and down, then raised his hand and waved.

Several soldiers rushed forward and tied up Brother Tude, and the other end of the rope fell into Chu Yao's hands. Chu Yao rode a tall horse, and Brother Tude staggered behind him with his hands tied, while the Kang soldiers watched coldly. No one said a word from beginning to end, but Brother Tude had the illusion of being silenced by countless eyes. He knew that Chu Yao was humiliating himself, and he wanted to grind his teeth with hatred.

When he was about to return to the battlefield, Chu Yao spoke.

[To a certain extent, you are quite like your father. 】

Brother Tude's feet were bruised and bloody.

Hearing this, he raised his head suddenly: [You——]

A ball of rope hit him in the face.

Chu Yao shook his head regretfully: [Paradise on a leash, father and son share the joy. After so many years, I haven't made any progress at all. 】

The northwest countries have a deep hatred for the Northern Desert.

The early stage of that game did not go well, and the northwest countries lost.

In order to show their strength and humiliate the northwest countries, the Northern Desert came up with many strange "entertainment methods", including but not limited to horse racing - the specific method was to strip all the captives naked, tie them up, and race them with ropes. At first, I just walked slowly, but then my desire to win was aroused, and I gradually picked up the speed.

At the end of a horse race, the captives were dragged down to their bones.

After the great victory of the northwest countries, similar activities were held to celebrate the victory and at the same time shock the tribes in the Northern Desert! However, the people being held by the rope are not limited to the captured Northern Desert soldiers, but also the representatives of various tribes who came to surrender. They can refuse if they feel humiliated.

If they refuse, the northwest countries will continue to fight and kill.

The result was that Beimo did not refuse.

After hundreds of years of tug-of-war, the two sides have long known each other's irritability. Every time the envoys sent by the Northern Desert are mostly outcasts with a glamorous appearance, scapegoats brought out specially for the northwest countries to vent their anger. If they were dragged to death by a racehorse, no one would stand up for them. Chu Yao was also invited to participate as a hero, and a carefully selected youth representative was stuffed into his hand.

Chu Yao criticized this kind of barbaric activity, but was stopped by a friend who knew him well: [I know you can't stand this, but Wuhui, you have to know that there are some pains that can only be repaid in the same way as others. 'Only in this way can the enemy truly feel the same way! 】

Don’t be a spoiler on an occasion like the celebration banquet.

Chu Yao was half pushed to the end of the game.

The military generals of the northwest kingdoms were relatively restrained. They only dragged the man to a bloody pulp and left him alive. Only Chu Yao rode his horse slowly. Everyone else opened their clothes and started drinking. Chu Yao had just passed the halfway mark when everyone clapped and booed.

[Hahaha, if you want to talk about the damage, it is because literati have many tricks. 】

[Wu Hui leads people away like this, grinding flesh with a dull knife! If the person being led was me, I would have committed suicide in shame and anger. 】

[Because you, an old guy, want to have a face that others don’t want. 】

Facing the uproar, Chu Yao did not explain.

When he was young and doing the same thing now, Chu Yao had different feelings. He asked the soldiers to escort Brother Tude to see the Lord. Brother Tude was still immersed in the shock caused by Chu Yao's words. He didn't come back to his senses until Liu Guan challenged Shen Tang head-on. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.

He scolded: "Yuan You!"

Liu Guan was completely indifferent to Brother De at this moment.

Brother Tude is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he may not be able to save his life, but the moment she is recognized by Shen Tang, she will not survive.

Shen Tang: "Did you kill Zheng Xiuchi?"

This Zheng Xiuchi is Zheng Yu, the censor of the Procuratorate.

Liu Guan pretended to have a bad memory: "Zheng Xiu is crazy? Lord Shen is talking about the supervisory censor who is very capable of escaping and has a very strict mouth? I remember that he is good at everything, but he is not very lucky. If he didn't know too much, Liu is really reluctant to kill him.”

Qishan, who was about to lift the curtain, suddenly raised his head.

"Did you kill Zheng Xiuchi?"

Liu Guan smiled and admitted happily, his smile so bright that tears of joy appeared in the corners of his eyes: "Yes, it's a pity that there was a traitor who failed to live up to his expectations. If she hadn't been in the way, Liu really expected Lord Shen to come to Jinli County to investigate the clues and dig up the so-called clues. Grave, the scene where the body of the censor of the family was dug up. Hahahahahaha - the look on your face must be very exciting!"

New and old grudges were intertwined. Qi Shanxian couldn't stand Liu Guan's provocation, so he drew out the sword from his waist. The blade of the sword was pressed against Liu Guan's eyebrows, and he could penetrate her brain at any time: "You are not afraid of death! If I can’t kill Brother Tude, why can’t I kill you?”

Brother Tude is willing to surrender, so it’s hard to kill him openly.

But Liu Guan was just a subordinate, not to mention that she was arrogant and provocative. She had Zheng Xiuchi's life in her hands and offended Shen Tang Qishan and Gu Chi in one breath. However, Liu Guan just looked at Jianfeng and laughed, slowly stood up, and the sword's edge went from being pointed between her eyebrows to being pressed against her throat.

Step by step toward praying for kindness.

Qishan held the sword firmly and had no intention of moving it away.

Liu Guan walked firmly and had no intention of avoiding the pain.

The blade of the sword, which was as sharp as iron and was as sharp as clay, was buried in his throat. Blood slowly flowed out from the wound, and penetrated into the dirty collar along his neck.

She kept walking and took two more steps forward.

Poof, the sword edge went straight through the back of his neck.

Drops of blood dripped from the tip of the sword, splashing dust.

Only then did Brother Tude react and wanted to pounce and pull Liu Guan away. As soon as he made a move, he was forcibly suppressed by the soldiers. Brother Tude was unable to beat the ground, his eyes were scarlet. Liu Guan heard the movement but didn't even look at it. He just gritted his teeth and leaned back in pain.

The neck finally broke away from the sword.

Liu Guan covered his bleeding neck with both hands. Literary scholar's physique is different from ordinary people. Even if someone pierces the throat, she will not die immediately. She raised her lips at Shen Tang and said intermittently with great difficulty: "Master Shen is so generous. Thank you for watching."

She has seen too much what happens to captured women! And although she, Liu Guan, was born in a mire, she hated it even more, and would not allow herself to fall into a place dirtier than a mire.

Even if she is unwilling to accept the defeat, she still knows that the winner is the winner and the loser is the loser! The outcome is not something she can control! Since you cannot choose who you are born to, where you live, or where you grow up, you can at least choose who you kill, where you die, and where you sleep.

Qishan was so angry that Liu Guan was shaking.

Don't think that he can't guess why Liu Guan committed suicide! Before he died, he wanted to blackmail Kang Guo. He was really obsessed with it. He wanted to pick her up from the ground, and even wanted to say the words "Xinglin doctor, heal her". Death, how can it be so easy?

Fury to fury.

Pray that your sanity is still there.

He watched with a dark face as the blood under Liu Guan's body gathered into a pool of blood.

Life is passing slowly with time.

Jimo Qiu saw that Shen Tang's expression was somewhat disgusting, and said thoughtfully: "Master Shen, do you need to treat her? As long as His Highness opens his mouth, no matter how she seeks death, she can be guaranteed not to die."

The high priest of the Gongxi clan has many special methods.

Before Shen Tang could say anything, Liu Guan, who was lying on the ground dying, looked back, his eyes blazing with hatred. The remaining Wen Qi in the body rushed straight to the Tianling Cap, and blood gushes out from the seven orifices. The head hung weakly and there was no sound anymore. Jimo Qiu looked at Liu Guan blankly, and said awkwardly, "Your Highness, please forgive me for my arrogance."

This kind of thing, he really can't save.

Liu Guan was also a ruthless person. She directly activated Wen Qi to go berserk and strangle the brain. The brain tissue under the Tianling Cap was completely shattered.

Shen Tang moved his mouth here.

The veins on his forehead were beating uncontrollably, and he suppressed his furious emotions with reason: "Drag her body down and burn it. Keep all the ashes and send them to Zheng Qing's relatives for disposal."

I don't have a habit of killing people.

She is not prepared to let Liu Guan live and plans to kill him, but Shen Tang can at most give Liu Guan white silk, poison, dagger and sword, a four-piece suicide set full of humanistic care. It depends on which Liu Guan likes more. A sort of. As for Liu Guan's own imagination of mistreating female prisoners, riding wooden donkeys through the streets, being whipped naked, and being sent to prostitute camps... she has never done this in so many years of fighting. It is really a frame-up!

Once Liu Guan died, Shen Tang lost all interest in dealing with Brother Tude, because Brother Tude knew how to slide and kneel, and no part of his body was hard, including his mouth. It was impossible to expect him to give Shen Tang the excuse to hand over a four-piece suicide suit rather than obey.

"Lock him up and keep a close eye on him!"

Brother Tude can make a fuss about this.

He asked his subordinates to pretend to charge for him and sent the elite of the Northern Desert to die, but he was escorted by his personal guards in an attempt to escape from the chaos. The spread of such a shameless operation was enough to distract the people of the Northern Desert - Brother Tude was from the Northern Desert. A powerful figure, the de facto king, while the nominal king of the Northern Desert, Brother Tude's father, had long been sidelined by Brother Tude, a filial son. In recent years, the filial son has been sending women to his father's side, causing his father to indulge in wine and sex and not care about political affairs.

Kang State and Bei Mo went to war, and the imperial commander did not dare to go to war in person.

Brother Tude did not allow the other party to do this.

Because Brother Tude was very confident in this battle at the beginning. If his father defeated the Kang State in his own expedition, the hearts of the people of the Northern Desert would return to the king, and his father would take the opportunity to take the military power into his hands. Maybe if you turn your head, you will kill your parents and your children for the sake of justice.

therefore--

For Kang Guo, catching Brother Tude was even more important than catching the King of Northern Desert. Tu Rong was ecstatic because of this, but it was a pity that he caught the wrong person and caught the Xibei goods disguised by Liu Guan. The real The big fish was caught by the wily teacher.

His face drooped longer than a donkey's.

Lin Feng patted his senior brother on the shoulder: "The days ahead are long."

As long as you live long enough, you still have to worry about not having military merit?

Tu Rong expressed that he was not comforted and was frustrated: "Junior sister, you are a full woman who doesn't know how hungry a man is..."

Lin Feng was taken to the battlefield when he was eleven or twelve years old. He was still escorting grain and grass when he was fifteen or sixteen years old. He finally survived until he became an adult and had a good level of cultivation. He thought he would be able to show off his talents, but he was overjoyed.

Lin Feng said helplessly: "I'll protect you next time."

This senior brother of my own is indeed pitiful.

Tu Rong was instantly elated. If the situation wasn't right, he would have hugged Lin Feng's thigh and shouted, "Long live Junior Sister."

Family members, who knows?

At a time when Kang State is crazily racking up military exploits, his junior sister is willing to share military exploits with him. She is simply his half-sister! Tu Rong's mood instantly became brighter.

Shen Tang asked everyone to go down and do their own business.

Only Qi Shan and Yun Ce did not move.

Qishan didn't move, Gong Xiqiu stared at his sword and didn't move, and even Jimo Qiu stood there like a stake.

Xianyu, who returned to the team in a hurry, couldn't stand the atmosphere and left as if his butt was on fire. The senior brother was captured after being lost at Shexing Pass, and he didn’t know what the situation was like inside Kaiyang Guard. He went back to deal with it as soon as possible to appease the soldiers' morale, and left the rest of the explanation to his senior brother.

Inside the tent, the five people formed a delicate balance.

Shen Tang took the initiative to break: "Yuanliang, I didn't commit the crime this time."

Don't act like you're settling a score with her.

Qishan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and explained: "It's not because of this. Shan came to tell the Lord that Gong Yunchi committed suicide in the tent not long ago. He is taking care of his funeral."

This news is like thunder.

Shen Tang stood up and said, "Gong Yunchi committed suicide?"

The combination of these five words is too contradictory.

Gong Cheng is an eighteenth-level concubine!

As long as he bows his head and surrenders, Shen Tang can't catch his fault and it's basically impossible to kill him, not to mention that Shen Tang has to worry about Gong Shuwu, so Gong Cheng has a high chance of surviving. Why did he commit suicide? It couldn't be Gong Shuwu who forced him to die, right?

This is also impossible.

Gong Shuwu's character was incapable of doing this.

No matter how disappointed he was in Gong Cheng, he would still support him for the sake of his bloodline - not treating Gong Cheng as a nephew, but only treating him as the seed that would continue his eldest brother's lineage - and there was no way he could force Gong Cheng to death.

Shen Tang couldn't figure out the reason why he committed suicide even if he tried hard.

Qishan nodded: "Yes, he did commit suicide."

Gong Cheng also left two suicide notes.

One letter was for Gong Shuwu and Qi Shan to read.

One letter is for Shen Tang, and I pray that he will forward it to you.

He also used his finger as a pen to write eight words on the ground——

[I turned my back to the southeast, but I couldn’t see my ancestors. 】

After doing this, he will destroy his alchemy mansion and commit suicide in his tent.

Shen Tang hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took Gong Cheng's suicide note.

The edges and corners of the envelope were wrinkled. Judging from the appearance of the suicide note, this suicide note had been prepared a long time ago and was carried with him.

This judgment made Shen Tang feel doubtful.

"Gong Yunchi, what do you want to do?"

Gong Cheng doesn't have to die.

She did not open the suicide note in public, she just put it away.

Worried: "How about half a step over there?"

Whether Gong Cheng died or not, she didn't really feel much.

When it comes to Gong Shuwu, we have to ask.

Qishan said: "Banbu looked a little sad, but he soon calmed down. I just asked Shan to tell the Lord that before Gong Yunchi died, he told him that he had a daughter on his knees, and her mother was a woman from the Northern Desert. Banbu planned to find her when the war subsided. Raise her well."

Shen Tang: "..."

The corners of her mouth twitched.

Gong Cheng's face that had been tired of the world for more than ten years appeared in his mind.

She had never seen Gong Cheng who was so high-spirited before the big change. The first time I saw him, Gong Cheng was at the lowest point in his life. His face was pale, his expression was gloomy, and his features were full of confusion and disgust. It is hard to imagine that such a person has worked for the enemy of his family for many years and still gave birth to an heir with the blood of the enemy. Fortunately, Gong Shuwu had no flesh and blood, otherwise he would not have been so angry at the news that he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

She asked: "Biological? Maybe adopted."

Qishan is not clear about this.

"Since we are Tuogu, we should not deliberately create misunderstandings."

I will definitely explain it carefully and clearly.

If it was intentional, how much would he like to torment Gong Shuwu?

Shen Tang heard the same truth.

He raised his hand and agreed to Gong Shuwu's request.

"If he wants to take the child back and raise him, he will take him back. But as Gong Cheng's daughter, I'm afraid the situation will be difficult in the future." Once his identity is exposed, he is likely to be ostracized and despised by other bureaucrats' children, and may encounter violence and bullying. Gong Shuwu should also consider this point, either conceal the child's identity or change the child's surname.

Qishan said: "Shan will remind you half a step."

After speaking, he did not step back, but looked at Yun Ce.

He learned from the prisoner that Yun Ce's cultivation had been destroyed by Yunda himself. So what was going on with Yun Ce's current situation? After Yun Ce explained clearly, he would not let down his guard.

For a time, Yun Ce became the focus of everyone's attention in the tent.

Yun Ce didn't hide it either.

He took out a letter from his arms.

Pass it to your master as well.

Shen Tang: "???"

Yun Ce said: "It's the suicide note left by my master."

But this suicide note was not prepared in advance.

I saw in the background that it was updated to 13.5 this month, and I felt like something was not right.
