Back Off, Let Me Come

Ning Yan looked at the branch against her throat and sheathed her sword: "I lost. My lord is good at swordsmanship, but Yan is not as good as him."

Shen Tang showed a little pride.

He used tree branches to show off his skills by performing a complicated sword dance, and said: "Skills have specializations, but swordsmanship is not Tunan's specialty after all."

Ning Yan smiled and shook her head, her smile a little bitter.

He said helplessly: "My lord, what you said is wrong."

Her swordsmanship has always been very good and is one of her specialties.

Shen Tang asked, "What's wrong?"

"There are specializations in the arts. The Six Arts of the Gentleman, I once specialized in swordsmanship. However, it is true that I have not taken it seriously for many years. It is easy to put it down, but it is not easy to pick it up again." Ning Yan lowered her eyes and stroked her sword with a look in her eyes. Deep love, as if staring at the lover who has been separated for many years, even the fingertips are full of tenderness, "I am cramming at the moment, I don't know..."

Shen Tang really didn't know about this.

In fact, if you ask Xu Jie, he might tell Shen Tang that Ning Yan's swordsmanship was indeed amazing when she was young. There are so many students in the academy, but few are better than her in swordsmanship. Advantage. However, as she grew older, Ning Yan gradually accepted that she was destined to be an ordinary person as a daughter, and she subconsciously gave up on herself.

The sword she regarded as a treasure was shelved on the shelf.

Occasionally, he would practice moves with Yanan when he was interested, but not often. She abandoned her swordsmanship, and her swordsmanship talent also abandoned her. After Ning Yan gathered her Wenxin, she picked it up again, but she couldn't find the flash of inspiration and the heartiness of the past...

Her swordsmanship follows an orthodox path, but now it's only at a mediocre level, without the ethereal and stunning skills of the past.

"Crafting for the moment?" Shen Tang keenly noticed Ning Yan's wording, "But Tunan is a literary scholar, and most literary scholars sit in the rear. Xiang Wuhui and the others are heretics. Since you have put it down, why force yourself? Pick it up?"

Shen Tang's ideas are different from Ning Yan's.

No matter what thing or person it is, since it has passed and been let go, there is no point in regretting or making up for it. Of course, she didn't want to discourage Ning Yan from giving up. I just want to tell her in a subtle way not to get stuck in the past, her future is ahead!

Ning Yan was able to pull out half of the sword in one swipe.

The snow-white sword blade reflected an indifferent face.

She said: "Because I want to kill someone."

Shen Tang knew who it was right away: "Zheng Qiao?"

Ning Yan: "I want to avenge the murder of my husband with my own hands!"

Zheng Qiao killed not only her beloved husband and her daughter's respected father, but also her lifelong close friends and colleagues.

"If I can't kill Zheng Qiao with my own hands, I feel that I will never be able to break through my inner demons." Ning Yan clenched the hilt of the sword, her knuckles turning white from the force, and her eyes filled with murderous intent, "Xing Ning didn't kill him People, if the family is not cleaned up, I will kill him and clean it up. I have not dared to mention Xingning in these years, because when I think of him, I will think of his last..."

Not even a whole body could be left behind.

Ning Yan knows Yanan best, and with his gentle temperament, she definitely wants to give Zheng Qiao a complete corpse, but Zheng Qiao is different: "I can't even pick up a piece of his body..."

"Teach me how not to hate Zheng Qiao..."

Previously, he had been suppressing his emotions, filling his time with official affairs and trivial matters in the academy, raising his daughter and educating his apprentices. However, emotions cannot disappear by ignoring them. It silently accumulated and gathered without Ning Yan knowing it, and now it has grown into a bloated and weird monster.

After Ning Yan followed Shen Tang and set foot on Chaoli Pass, one step closer to the place where Yanan died and the location of her enemy, the monster finally couldn't hold back and sprang out. With a powerful posture that Ning Yan could not ignore, the arrogance occupied her entire mind.

Shen Tang quietly listened to Ning Yan vent her emotions.

When the other party's mood dropped from the high point, she asked Ning Yan with some distress: "Tu Nan, must you kill Zheng Qiao with your own hands?"

Ning Yan lowered her eyes: "Yes!"

Shen Tang said distressedly: "But -"

Ning Yan: "But?"

Shen Tang nodded: "Yes, but I have reserved Zheng Qiao's head for Xianden. He only needs Zheng Qiao's head to complete the way of being a scribe... But you have the revenge of killing your husband..."

The palms and backs of my hands are all fleshy.

Not allowing Jiang Sheng to perfect the way of being a scribe?

Or not letting Ning Yan avenge her husband's murder?

As the lord, she felt a rare dilemma.

Ning Yan knew Jiang Sheng's way as a scribe, but she didn't know the perfect channel for his way as a scribe. At first glance, she was speechless.

Shen Tang sighed: "In this situation, as the lord, I can't favor anyone. Alas, you can grab it for yourselves."

Ning Yan burst out laughing when she heard this.

Sweeping away the gloom between his brows: "Master, are you so confident?"

If it weren't for the fact that the guard of Chaoli Pass was Chu Yao's old acquaintance Wei Shou, it would have been almost impossible to capture Chaoli Pass at the current price given the military strength and natural dangers of Chaoli Pass. If you can win, it will be a miserable victory. Killing in front of Zheng Qiao is even more unknown...

Put it in the lord's mouth and take Zheng Qiao's head like a bag.

Shen Tang pointed at the moon with a branch: "Because there is nothing in this world that I can't pick except the stars, moon, and sun. What's more, that's just Zheng Qiao's head."

Ning Yan sighed: "I envy your lord very much."

I envy her for being so confident when facing anyone in any situation. This uniqueness is something Ning Yan lacks. Because of the overall environment, she was as talented as Yanan, but after she was a teenager, her passion and dreams were hit by reality, which invisibly dulled her edges, and she had a hidden inferiority complex and lack of confidence in her heart.

She once began to doubt, question her abilities and talents, and even dislike her gender. She didn't know why women couldn't practice cultivation. Maybe it was because God loved men? Since this body cannot be changed in this life, let her be reborn as a man in the next life. Even in troubled times, at least she can protect herself, show off her talents, and have a broader world for her to fly high.

When she learns the truth, she finally reconciles with herself.

Ning Yan looked at Shen Tang, who was covered in moonlight gauze, with soft eyes, and said: "If there is really a chance to capture Zheng Qiao, I only want Zheng Qiao's half life, and the remaining half life will be fulfilled first."

Shen Tang immediately clapped his hands: "Tunan is awesome!"

Ning Yan didn't answer and just drew her sword.

Shen Tang understood what she meant at a glance.

Ning Yan is willing to give up half of Zheng Qiao's life, but the Lord wants to practice moves with her and help her sharpen the sword in her hand!

The next day, Shen Tang covered his waist and yawned.

Looking at her sleepy look, people who didn't know better thought she was fooling around somewhere, such as Shaochong. He went to Shen Tang on time for three meals in the past few days, which made Gu Ren and his sixth brother very confused. Are these big cakes poisoned? Shaochong can't live without them?

"Jun Shen, I'm here again!"

He started waving his arms from afar.

When he came closer, he noticed something strange about Shen Tang, and his expression suddenly became mysterious: "Where did Mr. Shen go to find happiness yesterday?"

Big eyes express greater curiosity.

Shen Tang yawned: "On the mountain."

As he spoke, he rubbed his sore waist.

Shaochong was startled: "Mountain, mountain? Covering the sky and covering the ground?"

Shen Tang didn't hear clearly. She was really sleepy, so she responded casually: "Yeah, what's the matter? Is it possible that I'm still holding a quilt?"

Shaochong blinked, feeling that it made sense for some reason.

"B-But... aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Shen Tang said: "It's okay, I won't feel cold anymore after sweating."

A meal for two people has been prepared in the tent.

There are two large rice pails for each person. Corn porridge, meat buns and white steamed buns are as big as an adult man's fist, neatly stacked in two large basins. Shen Tang sat down, feeling the pain, gasping for air, frowning and rubbing his waist...

Shao Chong no longer has the IQ of a child: "..."

After Shen Tang took a bite, he realized that there was no familiar sucking sound. Shaochong was a little strange today. He had been reincarnated as a starving ghost before when he came to cook, and the way he ate seemed like someone was robbing him. He actually changed his gender today, and the flatbread, buns, steamed buns and corn porridge have lost the temptation for him? Adhering to the principle of shameful waste, Shen Tang muttered in his heart and turned around to eat what he didn't eat.

Shaochong's face was a colorful black.

The left eye says "shock" and the right eye says "shock".

Such a majestic and domineering Lord Shen, could he be the one below? You must know that there is no woman in a ten-mile radius, and the person who is having a tryst with Shen Jun in the mountains at night, covering the sky and the earth, will most likely not be a woman. In other words, he was still a man.

So, so——

Shaochong felt that his outlook on life had been impacted.

There is no taste in cooking today.

While his soul is flying into the sky, he is mechanically cooking.

Outside the tent, Gu Chi was suppressing laughter so much that his muscles were sore and numb. When Shaochong's three views were shattered and reshaped, he ordered people to pass on the message.

Shen Tang said: "Just watch the tide come in."

Gu Chi rubbed his cheeks and calmed his breathing before entering the room.

"Lord, this is the account book of this meritorious service." Gu Chi handed the slip up with both hands. When Shen Tang put down his chopsticks to take a closer look, his eyes slid over Shao Chong, who was immersed in cooking, with only the back of his head left, and said with a smile, "Lord Feeling unwell?"

Shen Tang said with a sad face: "It's twisted to the waist."

Gu Chi asked again: "When did it happen?"

Shen Tang said with a gloomy look: "Don't mention it, it's embarrassing to say it. I practiced sword fighting with Tunan last night. Everything was fine at the beginning. I don't know what happened. It was still a flat field, but suddenly it was like My ankle is sprained and my waist is twisted."

Come on, she is a woman who is capable of being a 15th-level junior high-ranking officer, but facing a 16th-level senior high-ranking woman. She is one of the top combat powers in the coalition, but she can actually fall flat on the ground, sprain her feet and twist her waist. It is so outrageous and unscientific.

Gu Chi said uncertainly: "Maybe we should ask Ji Shou?"

Shen Tang fell into silence for three seconds.

"...I am truly blessed to be alive."

Kang Jishou, the god of plague! ! !

The account book in her hand didn't let her show off, and her mood became even worse.

why?

It wasn't that the members of the Alliance Army were causing trouble to steal her loot. With Gu Chi watching the whole process, there was no way she would be short of a penny. She was in a bad mood purely because of Xun Zhen's loan repayment bill.

"...I am poor and unlucky. I have never been this miserable in all my tribulations."

Gu Chi smiled and reassured: "Everything will turn out well."

Shen Tang: "Haha."

She didn't even believe in punctuation.

After dividing the spoils, the Alliance Army began to hold a meeting again. The leader of the alliance, Huang Lie, spoke as a representative, summarizing the gains and losses of the battle at Chaoliguan, describing a blueprint for the future without the violent lord, and giving everyone a boost before getting down to business and discussing countermeasures.

The troops were divided into three groups and captured half of the counties in Yanzhou.

Huang Lie learned from previous lessons and was extremely cautious in the allocation - these counties were good or bad, and the difficulty was high or low, so it would take some effort to allocate troops. Shen Tang doesn't care about this. It's impossible for places like Yanzhou to become her territory after conquering them. It is one thing that the enclave is difficult to manage, and it is also easy to make a wedding dress for others, so it is better to exchange for substantial benefits.

During this meeting, Shen Tang remained silent throughout the entire meeting.

Until I heard Huang Lie's arrangement.

She, Zhang He, Qian Yong, Tao Yan, all the forces from all directions were together. The reason is also ready. They cooperated during the attack on Chaoli Pass and have developed a tacit understanding. It will be troublesome to form a team again.

Shen Tang looked troubled: "Isn't this not good?"

Huang Lie was very talkative: "What do you think, Mr. Shen?"

Shen Tang shook his head: "No, that's it."

Huang Lie has some hobby of cultivating gu.

However, it is not certain who is the nourishment and who is the Gu King.

Tao Yan didn't have any objections for some reason, but Shao Chong, who was beside Gu Ren, had objections and argued with Huang Lie: "In terms of tacit understanding, my eldest brother and Shen Jun obviously have a better understanding."

He didn't want to leave Shen Jun's cook.

Huang Lie forced out an unfriendly smile and explained patiently: "This arrangement is naturally to balance the strength of each road. If the Major General and Shen Jun are divided into one group, it will inevitably cause the strength of the other group to be unbalanced and easily attacked by the violent master. .”

Gu Ren tugged on Shaochong's sleeve.

Only then did he reluctantly accept the arrangement.

After the meeting ended, Gu Ren and Shen Tang left together, worried: "Shen Jun, please be careful along the way and take care of yourself."

Shen Tang asked: "How do you explain it?"

Gu Ren said bluntly: "Tao Shenyu has always been at odds with you, and Uncle Qian has suffered losses at your hands. As for Zhang Yongqing... he is not afraid of Shen Jun's jokes. Gu has never seen through him."

Because of his personality and behavior, he rarely has friends he can't make. After getting along with him, he can always confide in others and turn them into younger brothers. You have your own way of dealing with people. Zhang Yongqing is different from everyone he has come into contact with...

The intuition of literary scholars has always been sharp.

He doesn't like Zhang Yongqing.

I always feel like something bad is brewing here.

Remind Shen Tang that it’s never wrong to be more thoughtful.

Even if you are a villain in vain, it is better than a big mistake.

Shen Tang thanked him: "Thank you, I will pay attention to it."

She hasn't figured out Zhang He's position yet, but Huang Lie's arrangements for Tao Yan are exactly what she wants. As a lord, her palms and backs are full of flesh. How could she miss Gu Chi when she avenges Luan Xin? She won't take the initiative to attack her allies, but if they break the rules first, she doesn't mind giving them a bloody lesson!

When she returned to the camp, there was a gift bag waiting for her.

"Yuanmou?"

Shen Tang saw Yun Ce again, whom he hadn't seen for several days.

The other party actually had a baggage on his shoulders.

Is this posture preparing to change jobs?

No, Yun Ce is Huang Lie's main rider after all. He is not very useful, but he is indispensable. He is so talented, why would he change jobs if he has nothing to do? Facts have proved that Yun Ce really didn't change jobs, but he did come here to find Shen Tang.

After Yun Ce finished speaking, Shen Tang knew the whole story.

"Coalition Leader Huang sent you here to help me?"

Yun Ce nodded sincerely: "Yes."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I really can’t buy any more keyboards, the keyboard shelf is not enough...
