Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 374 374: Unexpected (4) [Two in One]

The wine on the food table of the strategist was untouched, and the dishes were only touched with two chopsticks. From the beginning of the reception banquet until he was called upon by Shen Tang, this person was quietly with his head lowered. Not saying a word, not making a sound, the sense of existence is extremely weak.

He raised his head upon hearing this.

Revealing a gentle and kind face.

Yes, gentle and kind.

It's as if the corners of the eyes and eyebrows have been carefully polished, making them round and round. He has a carefully trimmed short beard, is handsome and elegant, and has a steady temperament. At first glance, he looks like a handsome middle-aged man who has read poetry and books and has a scholarly atmosphere.

In layman’s terms——

If this person appeared in a TV series, he would be absolutely decent!

The only shortcoming is that this person's figure is not a tall one, and because his temperament is too harmless, it even makes people think that this guy is a bit weak. No matter the appearance or temperament, the figure is not the one that Governor Lu likes.

With Governor Lu's reckless temperament, he would never let someone who didn't suit him sit in the second-in-command position.

I still have some confidence in this.

Shen Tang didn't wait for the middle-aged man to react, turned around with a smile and asked Governor Lu: "Can Mr. Lu help introduce me?"

Sheriff Lu: "..."

He looked at Shen Tang and then at the man.

He moved his lips but didn't speak.

For some reason, the atmosphere became inexplicably stiff.

There is also a vague aura of chilling danger.

Shen Tang laughed and laughed: "Why are Mr. Lu so stingy? I'm just asking, and I don't intend to pry anyone out of your hands... As for such a treasure, you don't even want to introduce him... Sigh."

Sheriff Lu twitched his lips.

But still he said nothing.

For some reason, the staff member who warmly entertained everyone turned slightly blue, and his forehead was sweating like liquid. Large beads of sweat came out from under his skin and rolled down. Some hang on the chin, dripping down and wet the sleeves, and some stick to the neck and slide into the neck.

Adam's apple rolled nervously.

When everyone's attention was not on him, he turned his back to wipe the sweat. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was sweating and shaking, and even his breathing was disordered.

At this moment, the middle-aged strategist spoke.

Even his voice was as elegant as this man's appearance.

He said: "I'm Jiang Sheng, I'll post it first."

Shen Tang didn't seem to notice the subtle atmosphere just now, and asked him with a smile: "But the 'First to Capture the Flag' first? Mr. Jiang's name is a good one, but it doesn't quite match your temperament. It sounds a bit strange." The murderous spirit..."

The middle-aged strategist asked Shen Tang: "What is your temperament?"

Shen Tang kept talking and said in a familiar manner: "Mr. Jiang is handsome and elegant, which makes people happy to see you. He is very kind. When I see you, I feel that you should hold the letter in your hand, look at the moon in the wind, and never eat. Fireworks in the world.”

As soon as these words came out, the smile lines in the corners of the middle-aged strategist's eyes deepened, but the smile did not penetrate deep into his eyes.

Sheriff Lu and his staff looked gloomy, looking at Shen Tang as if they were saying, "When did you become blind?"

Jiang Sheng picked up the wine and wanted to drink it, but he didn't know what he thought of and put it down: "You don't want to eat the fireworks of the world? Shen Jungao looks down on him, even if he is a character that only exists in the market... What you see with your eyes is just a stinker... …”

"If the skin is smelly, is this person still alive?"

Shen Tang's eyes were full of sincerity, as if these words came from inner doubt rather than yin and yang.

Middle-aged strategist: "..."

Shen Tang looked at the middle-aged strategist with burning eyes.

He turned to Commander Lu and said, "The more I look at Mr. Jiang, the more I like him. Can Commander Lu part ways with me?"

Sheriff Lu sneered: "Do you want to die?"

Shen Tang pouted: "If you don't cut it, don't cut it. It's just a joke... How come you can't even make such a joke?"

Sheriff Lu seemed to be about to speak but stopped.

In the end, he still swallowed what he wanted to say.

He drank a lot of tea. Judging from his stinky face, he was in a very bad mood at this time. He just had a sign written on his face: "Whoever messes with me will die."

Shen Tang held his chin and watched the singing and dancing for a while.

She started finding faults again and looking for trouble.

Question: "Is this the dancing girl and musician you raised in your house?"

Sheriff Lu said angrily: "So what?"

Shen Tang said: "They don't dance well. Their steps, dance, and music are not right. It makes people's eyes hurt."

Jiang Sheng seemed to be interested.

"Jun Shen is still proficient in music theory?"

Chu Yao, who was quietly lowering his head to eat the food, froze his fingers. Zhao Feng noticed his abnormality and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Chu Yao quickly returned to normal.

It’s just that the frequency of picking up chopsticks has become much higher.

He said: "Nothing."

There is a strange little secret in the Heyin Government Office - Governor Shen's music theory has a magical effect on losing weight.

Those who heard it said that the three-day meal was tasteless.

After Chu Yao finished speaking, he heard his lord say very confidently: "The song is wrong, Zhou Langgu is probably at this level!"

Jiang Sheng actually believed it.

How dare you touch Porcelain Zhoulang without a few brushes?

Shen Tang glanced at the dancers and musicians, waved her hand, and motioned for them all to get down and give the stage to her! Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere of the Jie Feng Banquet, let her show off her skills to everyone.

Chu Yao was stunned when he saw it, and for a moment he couldn't care that this might be the Hongmen Banquet instead of the Jingfeng Banquet.

He stopped him so eagerly that he almost broke his voice.

"Lord!"

I just enjoy myself in the official office.

For the sake of my master, it doesn't matter if my belt becomes wider.

However, family scandals should not be made public!

If it's a real performance, it won't take long for Shangnan, Tianhai and Yiru to know what their master's music theory level is.

They might be able to laugh for three years!

But Chu Yao still underestimated Shen Tang's confidence in herself. She waved her hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter."

Chu Yao: "..."

At this moment, he was praying in his heart——

If God could hear his voice, something would happen, for example, Governor Lu and his team would reveal their flaws!

Shen Tang just put the jade flute to his mouth.

Chu Yao had turned his face away in despair.

However, at this critical moment!

There was a bang.

The roof was broken by a burst of martial energy.

As the rubble and sawdust fell, a young man in dark brown clothes jumped down from the hole. Everyone in the hall woke up after hearing this and acted on guard. Sheriff Lu was startled at first. When he saw the figure on the young man's shoulders, he stood up after patting the case!

The figure looked thin and delicate.

Isn't it the apple of his eye?

At this time, he was covered in blood.

Among everyone, Jiang Sheng was the only one who did not move.

Shen Tang looked surprised: "Shaoxuan?"

The person who came was Bai Su, who was holding a sword in her right hand and fighting with her left hand. At this time, her face was extremely gloomy. After seeing the situation in the hall clearly, she decisively threw him to Zhao Feng, retreated to Shen Tang, and transformed into another sword. , said sternly: "Lord, there is a trick!"

Sheriff Lu had a sullen face and made no move.

He just stared at Jiang Sheng with big round copper bell eyes, and asked Bai Su: "Where did you kidnap this man from?"

Bai Su seemed surprised and suspicious when he heard this.

She said: "What 'abduction'? It's obviously a rescue!"

Shen Tang asked: "Shaoxuan, what's going on?"

Bai Su: "I just passed by a house and smelled the smell of blood, and there were people calling for help. I rushed in and took a look. What do you think my subordinates saw? Dozens of women, children, and men were killed. The only one who survived was killed by his elder brother. Only by protecting her did she save her life. After my subordinates rescued her, they found out that this person was the youngest daughter of Lu County Governor, and that the Luxia County Office had been breached..."

Speaking of this, everyone looked at Governor Lu and asked him to give an explanation for this matter.

Shen Tang lowered his tone: "Is it true or false?"

Sheriff Lu didn't say a word.

At this moment, a huge fire broke out in the direction of the temporary camp. Hundreds of fierce men armed with swords and axes rushed out from outside the house and from the back hall, surrounding everyone. Not only that, firewood was set up outside the house at some point, and hundreds of archers were ready to attack. From this posture, even a blind person could tell it was Hongmen Banquet.

Shen Tang's expression did not change.

She tapped her jade flute on her palms with great interest.

Asked Governor Lu: "Why do you and I have an alliance like this?"

You came all the way to rescue, and this is the treatment?

Governor Lu's mind echoed Bai Su's previous words - dozens of women, children and men were murdered! The only one left alive!

The scenery before my eyes flickered on and off several times.

I am so angry that I feel smoke coming from my seven orifices.

The anger broke through the limit, but he regained some sense, but his eyes were scarlet and covered with frightening bloodshot eyes, and his facial features looked ferocious like an evil ghost under the impact of anger.

"Ah——" He struggled to open his sore mouth, his voice was like a furious beast, his martial energy was out of control and the waves of air were flowing. The oppression made Bai Su's face turn pale instantly, and he felt better after being protected by Shen Tang's literary energy, "You, you—— Take your life!!!"

Shen Tang secretly wondered what kind of nonsense this was. Just as he was about to take action, he saw Governor Lu's red eyes flash to the side of his staff, and he raised his palm to smash his Tianling Gai. The staff didn't even have time to beg for mercy, so they died and returned to hell.

Shen Tang could roughly guess something after seeing this.

This staff member is probably a collaborator.

The bandits also used the family members of the governor of Lu County or the people in the city as leverage to coax Shen Tang and other reinforcements into the city, intending to catch them all. However, if this was a normal ancient world, I guess it could really happen.

But this world doesn’t care about science.

Each of the more than 10,000 reinforcements can fight one against five.

The bandits and the reinforcements were both unfamiliar with the situation in the city, and both sides had the same starting point. Shen Tang's side was still on guard, which eliminated their first-mover advantage in sneak attacks, and they voluntarily gave up their natural advantage in defending the city...

Bow strings buzzed outside the house.

Countless rockets were fired into the hall.

Chu Yao directly raised the Wenqi City Wall.

Several people who had been drinking and lying on the table also got up one after another. Looking at their strong bodies and quick moves like lightning, how could they look like they were delayed by alcohol?

"It's too small here, go out and fight!"

These ambush soldiers armed with swords and axes were just like the heavy-shielded warriors before, their faces were numb, and they were brave and fearless of death. If they were to get close to them, it would be extremely disadvantageous for one's own side. Zhao Feng and several brave warriors are even more reckless - who are the enemies?

They have people too!

One person can recruit hundreds of followers!

The Wuqi soldiers immediately formed a human wall to block the ambush group, but the moment the two clashed, Zhao Feng's expression changed. The strength of these ambush soldiers is no less than that of a third-class hairpin.

Coupled with the desperate posture of one after another——

Shen Tang split the roof with his sword.

The ambush attack outside the house became increasingly intensive.

The blazing flames swallowed the tongues of fire and swept through the entire banquet hall in an instant. Sheriff Lu used a blade with strong martial energy to split open the two ambush soldiers, followed by several more people who surrounded them. His eyes could only see Jiang Sheng, who was still sitting upright.

"Ginger! First! Climb!" He roared and hacked at the seemingly endless ambush, "You bastard Chaos!"

Shen Tang and his group had already jumped onto the roof.

She said: "Chief Lu, don't be obsessed with fighting!"

However, the governor of County Lu did not listen.

The ambush soldiers also rushed up.

Shen Tang directly changed the position of one of the ambush soldiers with Governor Lu, and grabbed the person to meet them at the temporary camp. Although she was very relieved that Kangshi and the others, as long as precautions were taken, the group of homeless bandits would not pose much of a threat at all, she was still a little worried looking at the intensity of the fire.

Sheriff Lu didn't want to accept this favor.

There was a hint of ferocity on his face covered with blood, and he said sternly and resolutely: "I'll stay here to end my reign!"

Shen Tang said: "What are you going to do! Join the large army to fight back the bandits and recapture the city. Damn it, let me tell you that you are unreliable. Since the government has been captured, if you give me some hints, we can Cooperation between inside and outside is much better than now - you still lied to me, is this how the alliance is cheated?"

It's one thing to be defensive.

But that doesn't mean you don't care about being attacked.

It's just a difference in the size of the loss.

Seeing the flames of war rising everywhere and the constant pursuit of troops behind him, County Sheriff Lu said cruelly: "I can't help you with this matter. I will definitely repay my kindness in the next life. If you still have the energy to get out of trouble this time, please help me." Take care of the common people and the little girls in the city - they have a grudge against me, and I won't live in peace until I kill a few more!"

He has fought against these bandits.

I know how difficult they are and how numerous they are.

One person must stay behind to delay.

Don't think about anyone else except him.

After saying this, he secretly transported Shen Tang and his party to the opposite direction of the pursuers with a burst of martial energy. Their faces were a little darker and more frighteningly determined! The long knife in his hand made a crack, and his martial aura was filled with murderous intent, condensing into a city wall that was more than ten feet high.

He stood in the middle of the road.

"Those who cross the line will be killed without mercy!"

After saying that, his cheeks turned strangely flushed.

With his excellent eyesight, Shen Tang could tell at a glance what this guy wanted to do - he made the same choice as Captain Yang had done, leaving no regrets or room for himself. And Shen Tang couldn't take him away like he took back Captain Yang. The only thing he could do was to consolidate his forces and recapture the Luxia Administrative Office!

"I wish you good luck in martial arts!"

A group of ambush soldiers didn't care about the people blocking their way.

If there is someone, kill him.

At this time, Sheriff Lu seemed to have returned to his original nature. There was no trace of offensiveness in the surrounding atmosphere, and there was no trace of the previous anger and murderous intent. His eyes were indifferent. Just looking at the ambush soldiers, it was as if they were looking at hundreds of insignificant corpses.

He stepped forward.

One step, two steps, three steps...

He got closer and closer to the ambush.

The two were about to confront each other, and Governor Lu's figure suddenly flashed, dissipating like smoke, replaced by blood exploding on the spot, broken limbs, and an ominous martial aura. In the blink of an eye, dozens of ambush soldiers in the front row could not even utter a scream, so they took their number plates and walked onto Huangquan Road.

Wherever the blade passes, there will be an enemy's blood debt!

However, the person Governor Lu wants to kill the most is——

Jiang Sheng!

Jiang Xiandeng!

The middle-aged strategist stood on the ridge of the roof, looking indifferently at the ambushes lying down like waves of wheat, as well as the almost bloody Sheriff Lu. He turned away his eyes indifferently.

"Why did you betray me?"

"Why did Governor Lu betray Luxia County?"

The body twisted and dissipated, rushing to the real battlefield.
