Back Off, Let Me Come

Yan'an's broken sword is currently in Bai Su's hands.

Looking at the two twin swords, which were identical except for the scabbard materials, Shen Tang carefully felt them under the eyes of everyone. After a long while, she shook her head and said, "No, Xingning's broken sword is normal, Zheng Qiao's is 'alive'."

Ning Yan made a judgment with a gloomy face, gritted her teeth and said: "So, Zheng Qiao must have done something to Broken Sword."

There is no reason that two swords produced from the same furnace should be different.

Shen Tang had a different intuition.

She said: "It doesn't seem to be a harmful thing."

Not only did the "living creature" in this broken sword not make her feel threatened, she even felt a sense of intimacy and joy.

After everyone discussed it, they couldn't come up with a solution, so the token that came with the broken sword became the focus.

He pondered for a while and took the initiative to tell Zheng Qiao the details of when he handed over the broken sword: "...At the end of the court meeting that day, Zheng Qiao sent his servant to ask me to stay. When I saw him, he was fishing by the lake. His current state seems to be ……Not very good."

Xie Qi glanced at Ning Yan worriedly and said, "...his madness is getting worse and he doesn't seem to remember Xingning's death."

Ning Yan's breathing became disordered for a moment.

Only by clenching his fists can he suppress the hatred that is about to burst out.

Xie Qi still clearly remembered the details of that day. When Zheng Qiao was about to let him go, he thought the other party was testing him, but when Zheng Qiao waved to the waiter to bring something to him, he was not sure anymore. The other party entrusted the broken sword to him: [This broken sword has the same origin as Senior Brother's. If you have a chance to see Senior Sister Ning, please pass this thing to her. Whether she accepts it or not depends entirely on herself. 】

Xie Qi curled his lips inwardly to the base of his ears.

It's strange that Ning Yan would kill her husband with the broken sword of her enemy.

Even if you are willing to accept it, you will just throw it into the furnace to melt it to vent your anger.

"I don't want this thing. If your lord is interested, just take it. But after all, it is a thing that Zheng Qiao has touched. Before you figure it out, lord, please be careful to avoid falling into the evil tricks." Ning Yan said emotionally. Ups and downs, huge mental drain, no intention to care about other things. But he did not forget to remind Shen Tang that he must not slack off for a moment when dealing with Zheng Qiao, a poisonous snake.

Judging from what Xie Qi described, there was nothing wrong with the whole process, and even the Zheng Qiao he spoke of sounded too normal.

But, can Zheng Qiao be normal?

Shen Tang nodded and put away the sword box.

He held the sword box and said, "I feel an inexplicable sense of peace of mind."

It was as if a missing piece of the puzzle had returned to her.

When Chu Yao heard about this, it was already very late. He returned from outside the city and went to the government office without stopping.

The government office was brightly lit, and Shen Tang stared at the brush in trance, muttering something like, "You are already a mature brush, do you understand when you get up and work on your own?"

Chu Yao smiled when he heard this: "Yao has met my lord."

Shen Tang had no choice but to let go of the incompetent brush and raised his head with a bright smile: "It's so late and Wu Hui isn't going to rest, but what's the important matter? Are you here for Broken Sword?"

There was no movement among Zheng Qiao's soldiers and horses. After thinking about it, the only thing that could alarm Chu Yao's visit at night was the broken sword.

Chu Yao asked: "Master, can you understand the secret of the broken sword?"

"Not yet, that sword is so weird." Shen Tang shook his head truthfully, "I'm going to discuss it after you all come back."

One person is short-term, two people are long-term.

Chu Yao is well-informed and may be able to bring some inspiration. Shen Tang took the sword box and gave it to him for careful observation.

"My lord, can you tell me your feelings in detail?"

After Chu Yao lowered his eyes for a moment, he seemed to have some idea, but he was not sure yet. He needed further verification. Shen Tang did not doubt that he was there, and explained in detail his special reaction when he saw the broken sword. My mouth felt dry before I took a sip of tea to moisten my lips.

She made no sound to interrupt Chu Yao's thoughts.

Quietly waiting for Chu Yao to take the initiative to speak, not to mention, Chu Yao really had an extremely bold idea here, and asked Shen Tang: "My lord, do you know what is the biggest difference between you and us?"

Shen Tang asked tentatively: "Am I a practitioner of both civil and martial arts?"

Chu Yao slowly shook his head: "No."

Shen Tang urged him: "If it wasn't this, which one could it be? When did Wu Hui learn to like Wang Chao and like to titillate people?"

Chu Yao: "The biggest difference is that you are the lord."

Shen Tang instantly showed a confused face: "Huh?"

Which is the biggest difference? There is artificial intelligence living in Broken Sword, and it can actually distinguish the social identities of different people? When she was puzzled, Chu Yao reminded: "My lord, have you ever thought that the 'goods' in the broken sword is the national seal?"

Click——

Shen Tang pinched off the handles with a horrified expression.

Chu Yao had never thought of this guess in her dreams.

Zheng Qiao is her enemy, and the national seal is the most coveted treasure by all the powers in the world. Her enemy... gives her this thing?

It has to be said that Chu Yao's idea even puts Gu Chi at his wits' end: "Wu Hui, your guess is a bit scary."

Chu Yao didn't think so. He said: "How can the behavior of a crazy person be measured by common sense? However, the method to verify whether the broken sword is the national seal is simple."

Shen Tang asked: "What can we do?"

She thought Chu Yao had some unknown secret, but unexpectedly he brought her a bottle of wine and motioned her to drink it.

Shen Tang: "..."

Three question marks popped up in my head.

Is this how he verified it?

Chu Yao was quite confident. He said: "My lord followed the breath of the national seal to find it when he was drunk. He bluntly said that he was a shameless thief. If the Broken Sword Zheng Qiao gave to Tunan really has the national seal, he should be able to use the same method. Distinguish..."

The verification cost is not high and can be done with a glass of wine.

Shen Tang was a little confused, but still picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Over the years, her drinking ability has not improved and she gets drunk immediately. When he saw the change in her eyes, Chu Yao knew that she was drunk. He pointed at the broken sword and asked, "My lord, can you recognize this object?"

Shen Tang rested his chin on his elbow: "Of course I recognize him."

These four simple words made Chu Yao's heart tremble. He restrained himself and asked, "Is this the master's stolen treasure?"

Shen Tang raised his eyebrows in displeasure: "It's really rude to name other people's objects without authorization and to give such an unpleasant name."

Although it is not a positive answer, it is still an admission.

Chu Yao asked again: "Can the lord take it back?"

Shen Tangqing said indifferently: "Now? No."

"Why not?"

"Because the way of heaven is constant."

Chu Yao thought about these six words carefully.

When Shen Tang woke up, he found that it was late at night. She climbed up from the desk and looked up to see Chu Yao guarding one side. The latter's concerned eyes always fell on her. She wiped her face and remembered the scene before she fell asleep. She rubbed her swollen temples and asked, "What did Wu Huike ask? What's inside the broken sword?" What on earth is this thing?”

Chu Yao said: "The national seal."

Just two words exploded in Shen Tang's ears like thunder on the ground. Her whole body became energetic, and she almost uttered a Chinese quintessence sentence: "Fuck, is it really the national seal?"

Is the truth so outrageous?

Shen Tang sat upright, filled with countless questions in his heart, the biggest one of which was: "No, what is Zheng Qiao doing for? He is sick. He sent the national seal to Tunan... Yes, to Tu. Nan’s was not given to me…”

Her expression was as tangled as if she had swallowed a fly.

"Could it be that Zheng Qiao regrets killing Yan Xingning... so he wants to make up for it in this way? No way, if Zheng Qiao had such a conscience, he wouldn't have brought such disaster to the country... There must be some conspiracy here. Don't worry. The ownership of the national seal in the sword should still be in Zheng Qiao's hands before his death... Does this bitch want to use the national seal to target our position?"

Shen Tang couldn't help but think in the direction of conspiracy theories.

Chu Yao: "I'm afraid he has more than that."

Shen Tang held his breath and said, "It's more than that?"

Chu Yao had a vague idea, but he wasn't sure because that would be too crazy, but it was something Zheng Qiao could do. He said softly: "My lord, have you ever thought about why I only gave you one piece of national seal?"

Shen Tang: "...???"

Chu Yao completely couldn't ask her this question.

The national seal that Gong Shuwu got was entrusted to him by the old leader of the Xin Kingdom. Isn't the national seal of the Xin Kingdom one piece instead of many?

Hehe, there are really a lot of pieces.

You must know that before the fall of the Xin Kingdom, it had the momentum to sweep across the northwest continent and wiped out nearby small countries, including Gu Chi Chu Yao's homeland. These small countries also have national seals. After the country is destroyed, the national seal will be absorbed by the national seal of the victorious country, but it will take time to truly integrate. However, the regimes have changed frequently in the past two hundred years, and they often separated again before a few pieces of the national seal could be fused. Xin Guo is no exception.

What Shen Tang got in his hand was the original national seal of Xin State, but the national seals of those countries that were destroyed by Xin State were not there.

She asked: "Then where did they go?"

Chu Yao said: "It's all in Zheng Qiao's hands. Back then, the leader of the Xin Kingdom was defeated by Zheng Qiao's army. In order to keep the throne, he not only ceded territory and sued for peace, but also used the small country's national seal to bribe Zheng Qiao. But who is Zheng Qiao? Someone who will keep their oath?”

When he got the national seal, he turned his face and disowned anyone.

Therefore, in addition to the most important national seal of the Geng Kingdom, Zheng Qiao also had many national seals of smaller countries. One of the national seals is enough for a country, and the others are like backup machines. No matter how many, they are useless, and they are not even the icing on the cake.

It is not necessary for a country leader to build two countries at the same time, right?

Shen Tang looked at Broken Sword and said: "In other words... the national seal in Broken Sword is the national seal of some small country? Zheng Qiao gave it to Tunan not to repent and make amends... So, Zheng Qiao Is the real target actually me?"

"If Yao is Zheng Qiao, seeing that the situation is over and there is no way to save the day, what do you think Yao will do to make the enemy be buried with him after his death?" Chu Yao pointed his finger at the broken sword and said, "The key... is afraid It’s right here.”

Shen Tang: "..."

Chu Yao's voice was terrifyingly calm. He said: "The coalition forces slay the dragon, either for fame or profit, but in the final analysis it is for a piece of national seal. No one can resist the temptation it brings."

Let one party get all the national seals, and one family will dominate?

No, no, no, this is not what Zheng Qiao wants to see.

Only when others are unhappy can he truly be happy.

Shen Tang took a deep breath: "So - this bitch Zheng Qiao is going to play a trick of 'rain and dew both get wet'?"

Chu Yao said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Their opponents are crazy.

Then use the craziest ideas to figure it out.

When Chu Yao came up with this idea, he was shocked. After the shock, he felt that this plan was completely feasible.

Shen Tang murmured in his mouth: "Crazy! Does he think that he will die when he dies, and he won't care about the flood behind him?"

Passionate greetings to the eighteenth generation of Zheng Qiao’s ancestors.

This disaster is not on the scale of a monstrous flood.

It's a complete mess!

"But this is also an opportunity for us to let the 'National Seal' in our hands see the light. Originally, we were worried that once the dragon is successfully slain, the National Seal will be exposed if it falls aside. Now, everyone really needs a copy of the National Seal. , we can escape safely."

This is the only good news.

Shen Tang twitched the corners of his mouth and couldn't laugh.

Chu Yao looked at the broken sword: "All this depends on the success of slaying the dragon. If it fails, this will be our life talisman."

Shen Tang's brain was buzzing.

Chu Yao's eyes were filled with water. He held Shen Tang's hand and said firmly: "My lord, you must believe in yourself. Only you can completely free this world from the endless battles."

Shen Tang didn't know where Chu Yao got his confidence.

She herself only brags like this when she is bragging.

Chu Yao smiled gently and asked, "Didn't the Lord notice?"

Shen Tang shook his head in confusion: "What did I find?"

Chu Yao said: "The national seal of the Xin State that was half-stepped was completely absorbed by the original national seal of the lord, and the two merged into one. In other words, it can no longer be split into two pieces. When there is only one country left on the mainland, the world will All that is left is a piece of the national seal."

"I have been looking forward to hundreds of years for the Qing Dynasty to come." The country is stable and developing steadily, and hundreds of years of separatist war will become history. So his destiny is the real destiny!

Shen Tang tugged at the corner of her mouth. At this moment, an invisible weight was weighed on her shoulders, but she still promised Chu Yao firmly: "The road will be long and long... Wuhui, I will not let you down!"

I will search up and down.

The secret of the Broken Sword is known only to a few close friends.

Although Xie Qi is curious, he also knows that being curious about everything will only harm himself. Only by being confused about some things can he save his life. The most important thing is that he doesn't have the energy now. His wife heard about Ning Yan's literary heart from nowhere, and kept pestering him to send her daughter to Ning Yan to be a student.

Xie Qi was helpless: "I still don't know how Tunan can unite Wen Xin. Even if she sends her daughter there...her method may not be possible for our daughter. Why are you so anxious?"

Madam, who had always listened to Xie Qi's words, did not listen at this moment.

"Master Lang is very kind to Tunan. For this kindness, she will do her best... How can you know if you don't give it a try? Master Lang also said that apart from Tunan, Master Shen has There is a female scribe, and there is a warrior lady named Zhao? Sir, you might as well tell me where I am to make you unhappy, and it will affect your daughter, why bother to find so many excuses?" The lady said, getting angry.

Xie Qi was in a dilemma: "This is an attempt to repay a favor."

"When will this kindness be repaid?" Instead of repaying the kindness undesirably, it would be better to follow her wishes.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have the best of both worlds?

(*￣︶￣)

I originally wanted to put the title directly on Zheng Qiao's death, but I thought it would be better to wait two days. Try to let him have a packed lunch on Labor Day.
