Back Off, Let Me Come

Shen Tang didn't even raise his head: "Feeding ants."

Gong Xiqiu picked up the hem of his clothes and squatted down as well. When I got closer, I realized that there were indeed dense "red dots" moving on the ground. The soldiers were divided into several groups to carry something. Those were a few pieces of cake scraps that Shen Tang found in the corner of the food table after finishing his morning meal.

She fed these to the ants.

Gong Xiqiu asked: "What can we feed the ants?"

Shen Tang threw another piece of crumbs to Ant: "Aren't I too bored? Wuhui and the others are already mature subordinates and can handle official affairs and arrange tasks by themselves. Wei Yuanyuan, Uncle Qian and the others are also Now that he is a mature military commander, he can clear up wasteland and cultivate fields, split mountains and open roads, dig canals and divert water... Sigh, isn’t my lord free? It’s very boring.”

Gong Xiqiu: "..."

It did sound boring, and he could relate to it.

Before Gong Xiqiu could come forward and invite the holy object himself to play marbles, Shen Tang was looking at the ants on the ground and said, "Have you ever thought about what we look like in the eyes of ants?"

How could Gong Xiqiu think about such a problem when he was fine?

However, since Shen Tang asked, he thought about it.

"Maybe it's the mountains, maybe it's the gods. Is the food Mama feeds them a blessing from gods?" He thought seriously, "We are to ants, what are mountains to humans? They have to be towering into the clouds, visible to the naked eye. Hidden mountain?"

It's not easy for ants to find food.

In the process of searching for food, they also face many natural enemies.

Mama dropped some crumbs casually, and it took dozens or even dozens of ants to move them back to the ant nest. They can easily obtain food that will keep them full for a long time without risking their lives. How can it not be a gift from the gods?

Shen Tang looked at the ants who were diligently arranged in a long line, and put down a piece of cake crumbs on their way back to their nests: "What you said makes sense, but I have heard another theory - they actually see Not to us.”

Gong Xiqiu was surprised: "Can't you see it?"

Shen Tang said: "It is said that in their perception, the world is a flat surface, with only left and right but no up and down."

Gong Xiqiu blinked rapidly, unable to imagine.

"Small ants can only see one or two knuckles from you, and big ants can only see six inches. Their eyesight is not enough to see us, and our naked eyes can't see the end of the sky..." Shen Tang He threw all the remaining cake crumbs into the ant colony, clapped his hands, stood up and said, "What is at the end of the sky?"

Gong Xiqiu didn't like to think about this kind of problem.

No one likes to be an ant, right?

He smiled and patted Shen Tang on the shoulder: "Want to play marbles?"

Shen Tang said: "Are you bored?"

"I'm bored, and Mama is bored too, just right!"

Shen Tang's skill at playing marbles is not bad, which makes Gong Xiqiu feel as happy as meeting an opponent. Unfortunately, it happened many years ago, and now it is time to relive it. Shen Tang was pushed away by him and said funnyly: "Gong Xiqiu, how old are you?"

Gong Xiqiu, on the other hand, said plausibly: "When you get older, you can no longer love your previous hobbies? How can this be true!"

Don’t talk about it now——

Seventy or eighty years later, he still enjoyed playing marbles.

Shen Tang said: "Can you see it with your eyes?"

You are blind and still want to defeat her?

"I'm blind, not deaf." Hehehe, brave warriors can also rely on their hearing and perception of air flow to judge the direction and distance. Blindness does not affect their performance.

Shen Tang: "..."

She couldn't quite understand why Gong Xiqiu liked this kind of exercise so much, lying on the ground with his butt raised.

Gong Xiqiu sat cross-legged on the stone, put his clothes on his legs to build a platform, then took off the small cloth bag hanging around his waist, and poured out round and plump beads. He counted ten for Shen Tang, and then counted ten for himself.

"By the way, Mama, I brought you a nice seedling this time." Gong Xiqiu handed the beads out and mentioned Yun Ce, "Looking at the situation, you should know him."

Shen Tang reached out and took it: "Who?"

It is not easy to get Gong Xiqiu to comment on "good seedlings".

Gong Xiqiu said: "His name is Yun Ce."

Shen Tang was quite surprised: "Yun Yuanmou? Didn't he return to Huang Xiguang's tent? Why were you brought back? Didn't you use force to tie him up?"

Gong Xiqiu said: "How can this be possible? When I found Luan's group, he was there, and he looked miserable with his injuries."

Shen Tang became more and more confused.

As far as she knew, Yun Ce had been away for a long time. It was not difficult to find Huang Xiguang's troops with his strength. How could he be seriously injured and hang out with Luan's team? He was actually brought back by Gong Xiqiu? This is completely inconsistent with her understanding of Yun Ce.

Shen Tang said with a smile: "Do you know what it means to be in Cao's camp and to be in Han's heart? Yun Ce is loyal to Huang Xiguang, and Huang Xiguang doesn't care about him. It is impossible for him to switch to others. It is estimated that there was an accident on the way back to the team. Wait for him You still have to leave after your injury heals. Although I have a very good impression of Yun Ce, no matter how good this person is, he is still an enemy. It is too dangerous to stay by his side..."

Yun Ce knew too much, so she could only keep silent.

Gong Xiqiu said: "He betrayed Huang Lie."

What he said was beyond Shen Tang's expectation. The aim of his finger's flick was off and failed to hit Gong Xiqiu's bead. Gongxi Qiu happily took away her beads: "The man named Luan Xin in Mama's tent has a bodyguard beside him, but he can say good things about Mama to Yun Ce. It will not be difficult for you to take Yun Ce into your account. "

Shen Tang: "..."

Going in both directions is the eternal God?

Shen Tang said: "That's okay, I'll look back and pay attention."

Although she was not in short supply of brave warriors after the Dragon Slaying Bureau, if Yun Ce was willing to come, what reason did she have not to accept them? As for talents, the more the merrier, not to mention that this guy is handsome. It will be comfortable and eye-catching to hold morning meetings or operational meetings in the future.

Inexplicably, she suddenly understood why appearance was also one of the thresholds for becoming an official. If she were the emperor, she would see handsome faces with different styles every day when she went to court, old, middle and young, each with their own charm. Jiu Liu also has motivation.

Hehe, she decided——

Every day for the rest of my life starts with seeing a group of handsome men and beautiful women.

Gong Xiqiu was not Gu Chi, and he didn't know what Shen Tang was thinking at the moment, so he continued: "This Yun Ce has a background."

Shen Tang asked: "What is your background?"

Gong Xiqiu's aim was as steady as ever, and with just a crisp sound, the bead in his hand jumped a blocking stone, flew in a beautiful arc, and hit the target: "I wasn't very sure before, but Yun Ce's movement skills and A section recorded in the family records is very consistent. His surname is 'Yun'. This surname is rare, so it is almost indistinguishable from ten. Behind him, there is most likely a 19th-level Guannai Marquis, or even a 20th-level Cheru. Hou."

Shen Tang: "???"

Shen Tang acted abnormally for the second time: "What do you mean - you want me to use Yun Ce's line to win over the people behind him?"

Gong Xiqiu thought too highly of her.

Not to mention the 20th-grade Chehou, even the 19th-grade Guanneihou, she couldn't handle it! Even if it could be done, it would still be unaffordable. He does not have the capital to attract the other party, nor does he have the strength to suppress the other party. Can a boss of this level do it alone?

Gong Xiqiu turned his face, and the braids on his shoulders hung down on the side of his face, as if he was shocked and confused by her answer: "When did I say this? I just asked Mama to hold Yun Ce and Xian Yujian, the two senior brothers, in the future. If anything happens, kill them!"

Shen Tang: "..."

What would she do if she killed her own general?

Gong Xiqiu: "This person surnamed Yun is difficult to deal with, and Mama's identity means that it is impossible for him to help."

Shen Tang: "...why?"

Gong Xiqiu replied: "Because he has a grudge against the Gongxi clan, it can't be regarded as a grudge, but the relationship is not good. The most important thing is that he came out of Shiwu a hundred years ago. According to the clan records, his biological mother Born in a tribe in Shiwu, she married to the Northern Desert due to political needs. She lived in the Northern Desert for more than ten years, but then due to some changes, she fled back to Shiwu."

Of course, he was later persecuted and fled into the customs.

Although she never went back after that, it was a sure thing that Shiwu was the mother of the family. On the other hand, Mama, she had no idea what she would do with Shiwu? In addition, she is also a sacred object of the Gongxi tribe, so the two sides are naturally hostile.

Shen Tang: "...Shiwu still has such connections?"

Why didn't he come out when he attacked Shiwu?

If Shiwu exists like this, how can Yonggu Pass be defended? Can't we stay in seclusion all the time and not hear what's going on outside the window?

Gong Xiqiu nodded affirmatively: "Yes!"

Then he added: "He didn't help Shiwu. It may be that he has no feelings for Shiwu, or he may not know about it at all, but the most likely reason is that he can't come."

Shen Tang: "...can't come?"

Gong Xiqiu said: "He is locked up."

There is a strange rule in the clan rules, but all Gongxi clan members must avoid five places once they go out for activities. One of them is the man's lair. Gong Xiqiu also read the old priest's notes and knew that there was something fishy in them.

Shen Tang: "...Doesn't that mean you can't threaten me?"

Gong Xiqiu sighed: "I guess he won't be locked up for long."

The Gongxi clan now has three or two kittens, and the constraints of the five barren mountains are also weakening day by day. It is only a matter of time for those old guys to come out. As for the things suppressed under the barren mountains?

Hahaha, a hundred years, no matter how stubborn the Gu King is, how long can he continue to live when he can only go in and out? According to the speculation of the old priest Jimo Xing, it was estimated that it died several decades ago. It’s just that the guardians of the five barren mountains don’t know...

Once they come out and discover the truth, it will be interesting. Gong Xiqiu is considering whether to hide incognito for a while, and then come out when he is strong enough to compete with them.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to suffer retaliation.

Shen Tang didn't know all the details.

All she knew was that she might be in trouble.

"This...can't be locked up for how long, how long?"

Gongxi Qiu spread his hands: "I am not a high priest, so I don't know the situation of the seal. It can be as short as three to five years, or as long as thirty to fifty years? Alas, how could the ancestors of those years have guessed that the Gongxi clan would be exterminated? What if it wasn't? That unlucky incident will imprison them until they die! Naturally, they won’t have to worry about being avenged by the old guy from a few hundred years ago.”

Shen Tang: "..."

She finally understood that the hatred was on the Gongxi people.

"Is it too late for me to cut ties with the Gongxi clan?"

Gong Xiqiu showed a pair of white and neat teeth: "It's too late, you are a sacred object in the clan. At that time, even if Mama wanted to lie back in the coffin, it was too late. They promised to dig out the ashes of the clan one by one and scatter them. of……"

Shen Tang: "..."

It’s true that every dog ​​passing by gets slapped.

She lowered her voice: "Why are you saying it now?"

Gong Xiqiu was honest: "I forgot about it before."

Reinforcing the seal is the job of the high priest. Previously, when the old priest Jimo Xing was still there, he would go out in disguise every twenty years to see if the seal was strong, and if it was not strong, he would re-paste it. This is also what he saw from the manuscript.

Shen Tang: "..."

——

After completing the task, Gong Xiqiu patted his ass and left, leaving the task of settling Luan's family to Luan Xin and Luan Cheng. Luan Cheng hadn't seen his mother for a long time and couldn't hold it back any longer. The mother and son burst into tears. The personal guards also rushed to Luan Xin's side to salute.

"Parents."

Luan Xin looked away: "Thank you for your hard work."

In fact, he didn't really want to see this sister. It wasn't that he was disgusted, but it was because he had been away from home for many years and he didn't know what his identity and attitude would be when he saw her again. Luan Xin turned around and was about to leave, but the Luan woman saw him, pushed her son away and hurried forward.

"Righteousness!"

Luan Xin could only stop, turned around and bowed: "Female Master."

When she heard that Luan Xin was addressed as "Nv Jun" instead of the affectionate "Sister", she was startled at first, and then smiled bitterly. After Luan Xin adopted him, he had been with him as brother and sister for many years, and he knew Luan Xin's temperament. After that incident, his title never changed again. Now, I have no shame in asking him to change it back: "Thank you for saving A Cheng."

She once thought Luan Cheng was dead.

Without Luan Xin, Luan Cheng would have died.

Now he has saved himself again... Luan's debt to Luan Xin now is far greater than what Luan Xin got from Luan's back then.

For a moment, she didn't know how to express it.

"He was not the only one who was saved." Luan Xin said coldly. He didn't make a special trip to rescue Luan Cheng, he just happened to meet him. "I'm busy with official duties now. If I have nothing else to do, I won't disturb the reunion of your mother and son. Farewell."

Luan Xin left with his guards.

The female monarch was stunned in place and watched for a long time.

It wasn't until Luan Xin's back disappeared that Luan Cheng dared to speak in a low voice: "Auntie, just keep it like this. The two families won't feel comfortable being so close. Although what happened back then has passed, the traces remain on my uncle. It’s a difficult road to overcome.”

Whether it is grandma or uncle, both of them are emotionally reserved people, and they will start to get into trouble once they get into trouble.

It is really difficult for the two of them to insist on tenderness.

The female monarch poked her son's forehead with her finger, leaving a white fingerprint: "Oh, you are not very young, but you know a lot?"

Luan Cheng said: "Uncle has a knot in his mind."

It's still an old knot that can't be untied.

When the female monarch heard this, she sighed and looked lonely. They all understood the situation back then, and they also knew the difficulties each other faced, but knowing the difficulties did not mean that they could accept the reality calmly. This was the key to the knot: "Oh, why didn't I know?"

We can only meet less often in the future to avoid embarrassment for both parties.

It was enough that Zhengyi was willing to recognize A Cheng as his nephew.

Everyone goes back to their own homes, each looking for his own mother.

Yun Ce also went to find his junior brother.

I found a jet-black junior brother in Arata.
