Back Off, Let Me Come Chapter 1090

Chapter 1090 1090: Do you know what loyalty to the king means? (Part 2) [Ask for monthly ticket]

Even though he was mentally prepared, Wu Xian's mouth still twitched when he actually heard Shen Tang's shameless remarks, and his expression was more complicated and tortuous than a ball of wool. Everyone knows that gold and silver money is a good thing, but who would talk about it? Even if you love money so much in your heart, you still have to be reserved in your mouth, and even curse the smell of copper to show that you are elegant and refined, and different from ordinary people.

Shen Youli is good, she wants money as soon as she opens her mouth.

 You are the master of a country, even if you become a prisoner, your true value cannot be measured by gold or silver.

 It is disgraceful to talk about money whenever you open your mouth.

 He asked: "As the leader of the country, you are still short of money?"

Shen Tang said: "Que, I'm almost going crazy with Que."

 Wu Xian: “…”

Shen Tang continued to smile playfully, not caring at all about Li Lang's slumped face, and put his elbow on Wu Xian's shoulder in a very affectionate manner: "To be honest, Brother Zhaode, when the Kang State was founded, they were really poor, and they couldn't wait for a penny. Break the money in half and spend it. Even though I, the leader of the country, have no balance all year round, I scrimp on food and clothing from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Isn't this called a lack of money?"

Wu Xian then noticed the material on Shen Tang's body.

 It's really not that expensive.

Not only Shen Tang, most of the civil and military officials in her household wore plain clothes. The decorations on her clothes were mainly inconspicuous dark patterns, and she exuded a simple atmosphere everywhere. This was completely different from the civil and military officials in Gao Guo's court.

 Which of the ministers who became officials in the Gao Kingdom had a weak family background?

Even the military generals who are stereotyped as "five great and three rough" by the secular world like to be gorgeous and beautiful, let alone the civil servants of aristocratic families?

 Shen Tang took Wu Xian's gaze calmly.

She continued: "When I think about the history of entrepreneurship, I can't help but cry tears of bitterness for myself. Alas, I have worked hard for five or six years to make every household have some surplus food, so that the people in the country will not go hungry all year round. , naked buttocks, and the local grain depot is finally not a place where rats turn their heads when they see it. After several years of savings, click, someone made a Ponzi scheme and got them all."

Wu Xian's eyes narrowed.

 He doesn't understand Ponzi schemes and can guess the meaning based on the context. It was heard that Shen Tang was liquidating the grain and fodder in Jinli County.

Wu Xian reminded Shen Tang: "This situation was not caused by Gao Guo."

 Could it be that Bei Mo set up a trap to defraud the grain and grass?

Shen Tang nodded: "It is true that the Gao Kingdom did not set up a trap, but the grain and grass were burned in the Gao Kingdom. The Northern Desert sent these stolen goods to the Gao Kingdom, and then transferred them back to the Northern Desert under the guise of a big merchant in the Gao Kingdom. I immediately I contacted Brother Zhaode, and waited and waited, but only received the bad news that the grain and grass were burned. Was the grain really burned? You and I are not children, and we know it all."

 When she said the last sentence, her tone became chilly.

 Wu Xian: “…”

At this point, there is no point in quibbling.

 He chose to remain silent.

Shen Tang expressed his heartfelt emotion: "We have all seen the tragic situation of starvation and death, and have seen people who have gone to a dead end to exchange their children for food. You should know better than anyone how difficult it is to prevent everyone from going hungry. I have saved so much How difficult is it to start a family business..."

 So, she is really poor.

Lack of money, lack of food, lack of everything.

Wu Xian closed his eyes and endured the pain in his temples.

“In that case, if the wise man does not speak secretly, how much do you want?”

"Only children make choices, of course adults want them all." Shen Tang smiled, and spoke under the glare of Wu Xian's big round eyes, "If you want money, you don't want much, and the financial resources of the whole country That's it; you want a city and a land, and you don't want much, just every inch of land in Gaoguo! For other things, such as Brother Zhaode's life, it depends on whether you are willing to live or not.”

Wu Xian looked back and realized that he was being played: "Shen Youli, do you think I, Wu Zhaode, am really a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

 Shen Tang hurriedly waved his hand to signal Wu Xian to calm down.

"Brother Zhaode, don't be upset." Her eyes were full of slyness, with the clarity to see through everything, and her words were so mean that it was heartbreaking, "I don't mean to humiliate you, it's just that the current situation - to put it bluntly, Brother Zhaode I'm afraid I've been given up. Even if I'm willing to offer Gao Guo a bargaining chip to trade for you, if the offer is low, I won't be willing to do it. If the offer is high, your ministers may not be willing."

Wu Xian said angrily: "No matter how bad I am, I am still the master of a country."

 Where does it say that if you give up, you will be given up?

Shen Tang said: "Everyone seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages."

 Wu Xian almost choked to death with one sentence.

From the perspective of profit, there is indeed a possibility that Wu Xian will be given up - rather than going through all the trouble to get him back, it would be better to support his son as the new master. It can not only reduce losses, but also save the face of loyal ministers and good generals. It can be said that it is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

 He understands the truth, but he is just heartbroken and refuses to accept the reality.

If he admits it, it is equivalent to admitting that his subordinates are incompetent and that the monarch and his ministers are alienated. The ministers are not even willing to pay to redeem him.

　　If you admit this in front of Shen Tang, you might as well kill him.

 Wu Xian fell into silence again.

Seeing that Wu Xian's face was as pale as the bottom of the pot, Shen Tang laughed without sincerity: "Of course, this is all my family's words. There are always loyal people in this world who value morality over interests. There are no absolutes in anything, and Brother Zhaode doesn't have to put it down. Take my word for it.”

 Unfortunately, these words did not make Wu Xian's face improve.

 Because judging from Shen Tang's hilarious remarks, her attitude is very clear - she refuses peace talks! The war between the two countries can only have one outcome, and that is Kang State annexing Gao State! No matter how high the state sends envoys to negotiate, it will be useless no matter how many chips they offer.

After sorting out these things, Wu Xian looked at Shen Tang with a more complicated look: "...Since you have made a decision and are determined to fight to the end and will not discuss it with Gao Guo, why do you need to talk to Wu about this? Could it be that you want to see Wu become a prisoner? What does it look like? Are you just watching the fun? Or do you want to hear Wu begging for mercy from you? If you want to kill or behead him, please do as he pleases, there is no need to humiliate people like this!"

"No, no, no, that's not why I'm telling Brother Zhaode these things." Shen Tang's smile added a hint of cunning, "I want to advise Brother Zhaode, why not write a succession edict and hand over the throne to a child? It also saves Gao Guo from sending envoys."

In any case, none of the officials of the Gao Kingdom sincerely welcomed Wu Xian back.

Instead of wasting time negotiating and pulling, it would be better for Wu Xian to step down directly for them, which would save them trouble and Shen Tang would also save worry.

 Wu Xian: “…”

Shen Tang was curious: "Brother Zhaode, why are you looking at me like this?"

Wu Xian said bluntly: "It depends on whether you have a brain disease."

 Did Shen Youli make this decision with his butt?

Kang's civil and military officials didn't stop him?

As long as Wu Xian is still the legitimate leader of the Gao Kingdom, regardless of whether the civil and military forces of the Gao Kingdom sincerely welcome him back, they must pretend to be sincere and run for him. In this way, Shen Tang can use Wu Xian as a bargaining chip to make Gao Guo use the rat weapon. Once Wu Xianchan passed the throne to his son and became the supreme king, he became the emperor and the minister, and Gao Guo had less to worry about. The Supreme King, who abdicated despite legal procedures and was still trapped in the enemy's camp, died. No matter what angle you consider, this decision is not conducive to Shen Tang.

Wu Xian asked again: "Or do you have another conspiracy?"

Shen Tang could not wait to swear with three fingers to the sky: "I have been honest in my life and have no conspiracy! How can Brother Zhaode predict me like this?"

 Wu Xian: “…”

At this obviously tense moment, he smiled inexplicably, as if he had heard some interesting joke.

 Shen Youli?

 A life of magnanimity?

Although this guy is beautiful, he is too thick-skinned.

Although Shen Tang's proposal made him excited, Wu Xian did not agree easily. He wanted to think carefully about the conspiracy. I would rather believe the matchmaker's nonsense than Shen Youli's nonsense.

When Wu Xian was taken away, Shen Tang stroked his forehead helplessly and complained: "...Wu Zhaode used it badly when he should have been careful. When he shouldn't have been careful, he used it the wrong way."

 I just wanted to give Mei Jinghe a surprise.

　　Why doesn't Wu Xian fulfill her wish?

 Obviously, Wu Xian does not have the beauty of an adult.

 He is simply not the focus today.

Shen Tang still has a lot of things to be busy with.

“Have all the prisoners been counted?” “How are our casualties?”

 “What medicinal materials are lacking in the wounded barracks?”

These are all things that Shen Tang needs to take care of, especially the latter one. Human lives are at stake, and the shortage of medicinal materials needs to be replenished by Shen Tang and Lin Feng. After arranging these things, the battlefield was cleaned, the enemy corpses were burned and buried, and the bones of the fallen soldiers were ordered to be placed. Bring the teacher back together when he returns to the DPRK.

 As for rewards based on merit?

 This matter is arranged at the end.

  Shen Tang finished his discussion with everyone, and the sky outside the tent was already dark.

 Looking up again, only Gong Xiqiu was left in the tent. I don't know how long he had been waiting. Gong Xiqiu always couldn't hide things when facing Shen Tang. Shen Tang knew at a glance that he had something to say, and she also happened to have something to ask - after checking the list of high-level prisoners of war in the Gao Kingdom, there was no National Master of the Eternal Life Sect on it. name, and his body was not found.

 No one is seen alive, no body is seen dead.

Shen Tang guessed that he probably ran away.

 It's just that neither brother Gong Xiqiu took the initiative to speak. He wondered what other problems there were: “Gong Xiqiu, do you have anything else to do?”

Gong Xiqiu said: "Yeah."

Shen Tang put down his official duties, stood up and said, "Lead the way."

 After a few words of explanation to the personal guards, Shen Tang followed Gong Xiqiu out of the camp. Along the way, countless speculations came to her mind. Before I could sift through the speculations one by one, I arrived at my destination.

Shen Tang turned around and glanced at the camp not far away.

Surprised: "So close?"

It is indeed very close, just below the battlefield where the two countries are fighting.

"How come there is a secret passage here? It looks quite new." Shen Tang is of good height, but Gong Xiqiu is very bulky. He can only pass by squatting sideways in some sections, and there are damaged parts along the road. Seeing Gong Xiqiu brutally clearing the way, Shen Tang's heart pounded, and he reminded, "You should be gentler. If the secret passage collapses, we will be buried alive here. I'll see if your brother doesn't get angry."

Gong Xiqiu shook off the sand that fell on his head.

He said casually: "He can't smoke. If we are buried, he will definitely be buried deeper than us."

  Shen Tang: “…”

 She observed the shape of the tunnel: "This secret passage does not look like it was dug by people, but rather like it was crawled out by some animal."

“Mama has good eyesight and is my totem of courage.”

Shen Tang: "...What's going on?"

Gong Xiqiu said: "What else can happen? Brother, aren't you chasing that old guy? The old guy is like a loach turned into a spirit, and he won't hold back. He finally set up a formation to trap him, and he was ready to catch a turtle in an urn. Who knew he would be killed by Wei? Cutting off halfway through the city..."

Shen Tang frowned worriedly: "Isn't Wei City blocked?"

Gong Xiqiu raised his hand and pointed upward: "In this battle, the dead on the ground will catch up with the people sleeping underground, and Wei Cheng feeds on resentment and death. How useful can a hastily sealed seal be? It's not that Mama saved the person midway, what came out was not just the incarnation of Wei Cheng's martial energy, but his true self. These twenty-level Chehous are really disgusting things.”

Though he is a genius, he will always be his disgusting enemy.

 In the early years, he did not suffer much under Tang Guo's tent.

The more your strength improves, the more you suffer.

The enemies you encounter are either the incarnations of the eighteenth-level concubine chief or the twenty-level Chehouhou who have received the [Daigo Initiation] like Gong Cheng, or they are the actual deities of the twenty-level Chehouhou. It put him in danger several times!

Gong Xiqiu always felt that he was being humbled.

 When I think of Wei City, I feel even more angry.

Shen Tang agreed with Gong Xiqiu's evaluation. The twenty-level Chehou who stood on the enemy's side was indeed a bit disgusting. If the hidden danger of Weicheng is not solved, it will remain a hidden danger after all: "Can Weicheng be saved?"

 The song "Transfer Soul" can really transcend the soul. Wei Cheng has nothing to do with living people. If she could transcend it and let Shen Tang arrange a make-up funeral for Weicheng that lasted for seventy-seven forty-nine days, she would be willing to do so.

 Wei Cheng refused to be saved, so she punched and kicked him again.

 “You want to save me?”

  Shen Tang: “…”

In the darkness, before she heard Gong Xiqiu's answer, she first heard a strange male voice, and the owner of the voice claimed to be Wei Cheng.

Hmm, that's the goal she wants to transcend.

Gong Xiqiu's answer came slowly.

 “It is not necessary to save him at the moment.”

 Shen Tang soon understood why it was unnecessary.

If she had a system that could see everyone's position, then the Weicheng she saw at the moment would definitely be a neutral yellow name!

Wei Cheng, who had been beaten to death not long ago, was now standing at the corner of the secret passage, and he didn't know how much he had listened to Shen Tang.

Shen Tang's expression only changed for a moment, and he regained his composure instantly.

 She has no doubt that Gong Xiqiu will harm her.

so-

 Either this Gongxi Qiu is fake;

Either Wei Cheng is out of his mind.

 Shen Tang chose the latter.

The Wei Cheng in front of you is not the real person, but the incarnation of Wei Cheng. It didn't even wear any armor, and had no sharp weapons in its hands.

Seeing that Shen Tang did not attack rashly, Wei Cheng nodded.

　　 commented: “Well, there's something about being calm.”

Shen Tang frowned: "What's going on?"

Gong Xiqiu is not good at eloquence, so it would be too difficult for him to explain clearly. Shen Tang can only wait for Shen Tang to see everything by himself. If he had to sum it up, he could only think of one sentence: "Their uncle and nephew turned against each other."

Shen Tang was so shocked that he paused: "Rebellion?"

Wei Cheng in front gave a warning angrily.

　　gloating in front of him?

　　"Do you two think that I am an old man?" If it weren't for my scruples, I would really like to bury these three **** here alive to save them from the embarrassment.

Gong Xiqiu snorted, obviously not afraid.

  Shen Tang: “…”

You didn't let Wei Cheng kill you even though you were close to your face?

 Apparently, it is true that the uncle and nephew are at odds with each other.

Shen Tang's heart was moved, and he raised his eyebrows and thought about the real reason why the uncle and nephew were against each other - they were both men at the top of the pyramid, and there was no problem of uneven distribution of benefits, because as long as they wanted, they could get as much benefit as they wanted. For this kind of people, the only thing that can turn them against their purpose is a conflict of ideas and morals.

It's just that they have gone through ups and downs for more than two hundred years, and if they really wanted to have a conflict of ideas and morals, they wouldn't have waited until now, so—

 Shen Tang also opened his mouth close to his face.

“The person who cooperated with the Society of Gods back then was your uncle?”

　_(:3　∠)_

 It's April 1st again, and it's also the beginning of a new month. I'm looking for a guaranteed monthly ticket.
