Back Off, Let Me Come Chapter 1096

Chapter 1096 Chapter 1096: Southwest Layout (Part 2) [Asking for monthly votes]

 The messenger only felt that the air was hot and dry.

 When I came back to my senses, my heartbeat was so excited that it was about to jump out of my throat.

 This Zen edict is a double guarantee for him.

First, if the two countries are at war without killing the envoy, it is nonsense to deceive children. Shen Tang still needs to help her bring the edict back, and she will not kill him, which can ensure that there is no risk of life during this mission; second, Zen As soon as the imperial edict came out, Wu Xian, the current leader of the country who was deeply trapped in the enemy's camp, could legitimately become the supreme king. His political value plummeted. Except for the original confidants who would nudge them to talk a few words, other ministers, including the clan, could relax. Tone, abandon him without any burden, your reputation will not be damaged, and double happiness will come to your door!

 As for Shen Tang's refusal to negotiate?

 The messenger is more likely to think that she has a bargaining mind.

 The Zen edict in his hand is the best proof!

If you had no intention, why would you give yourself this Zen edict that is beneficial to Gao Guo? Isn't this a tactful release and a good message? Isn't the subtext just - [The steps have been prepared for you, if you still can't get down, you will be shameless! 】

This move can not only detain Wu Xian openly and demonstrate the country's strength, but also put pressure on Gao Guo, allowing Gao Guo to take the initiative to offer more bargaining chips. The messenger secretly wiped his sweat and said, "She is really a scheming and terrifying woman."

He carefully put the edict in his sleeve, knowing that he would not die. The envoy felt confident and straightened his waist. He said without being humble or arrogant: "I will take the words of Lord Shen back intact and give a reply after discussing with all my colleagues. "

"If there is nothing else to do, please leave the envoy."

The young man has a broken temperament, as if a gust of wind can blow him to the sky, but the messenger dare not slack off at all. When the two countries were at war, the envoy could see with his own eyes that the frail young man transformed into a burly military commander, charging as bravely and as fiercely as a real military commander.

 He made a request carefully to test Kang Guo's attitude.

 “I have another unkind request.”

　　"Is that your kind invitation? Oh, please tell me and listen."

The messenger said: "I want to see the Lord."

"This 'please' won't work!" Gu Chi was not surprised by the content of the request. He sneered at the corner of his lips and refused without thinking: "Without the master's handwriting, no one can see Duke Zhaode. The master and Duke Zhaode have been known to each other for many years. How can we treat our distinguished guests badly because of our friendship?”

"Of course I trust Lord Shen, but all the ministers in the court are concerned about the safety of the Lord. If I can't see him safe and sound with my own eyes, how can I convince other ministers? I don't have the nerve to go back to see him. Please forgive me for this matter." , do me a favor.”

"If you insist on seeing me, Gu can send someone to ask the Lord."

The messenger knew that asking questions would be fruitless and would irritate people, so he had no choice but to use a trick that had always been tried and true.

His eyes signaled his entourage to bring a box.

This box alone is expensive to make.

 The wood grain has gold threads, forming a small natural landscape painting.

Looking at it, it is quiet and elegant, as bright as clouds and brocade.

Even people who don't know the goods can recognize the value of this thing.

Let alone those who know the goods.

 What object is in the box, worthy of the golden nanmu box?

He pushed the thing out, and his tone was a bit displeased and warning: "What do you mean by this? Do you want to bribe me?"

 The messenger's expression was subtle and stiff: "Of course not."

 How can a scholar pay a bribe?

This word is too unpleasant, and scribes should use "elegant bribe".

Gu Chi raised his eyebrows: "No?"

"A unique and beautiful jade is naturally worthy of the most elegant gentleman in the world. If this thing falls into the hands of ordinary people, it will be a waste. Today, after meeting Gu Yushi, I realized what it means to have a bandit gentleman, so I found a home for it. I only talked about fate, not Talk about worldliness!”

 Gu Chi: “…”

 Can any bandit gentleman be like him?

This is talking nonsense with your eyes open.

Gu Chi turned around in his heart, and finally he was willing to give the envoy a three-point smile and accepted the generous gift. He promised to take the envoy to take a look at Wu Xian from a distance, and pretended to be embarrassed: "...Gu can only After reaching this point, if you are allowed to have private contact and someone else reports it to the Lord, the Lord will definitely blame you."

The messenger hurriedly agreed and was overjoyed.

 Those who don't know think he is Wu Xian's best friend.

Even though he was more than a hundred steps away, the envoy recognized Wu Xian's aura at a glance. Judging from Wu Xian's aura and complexion, he really didn't suffer much in the Kangguo Camp these two days. Except for the fact that his strength is sealed and his range of movement is restricted, he is considered free in other aspects.

 No, it should be said that freedom is too much!

The main camp is a heavily guarded military area. Even the soldiers under Shen Tang's tent, who belong to different battalions, cannot run around, and their activities are strictly limited to specific routes. With Wu Xian's treatment, how many people believe that he is a prisoner?

Haha, Wu Xian's die-hard confidants are still worried that he cannot bear the humiliation and may find an opportunity to commit suicide to preserve his dignity. If they were allowed to see Wu Xian's appearance at this moment, they would not know whether they would feel more distressed or feel more stuck in their throats. The messenger's psychological activities could not escape Gu Chi's prying eyes, so he deliberately interrupted: "It's time."

 The messenger could only retract his complex eyes.

 He managed to squeeze out a smile: "Thank you very much!"

Gu Chi smiled and said nothing.

 The messenger also showed a tacit smile when he saw this.

Their tacit understanding is unspoken.

The messenger took the imperial edict from the Zen position to the young master and hurried back to resume his duties. His heart was agitated. Gu Chi watched his back disappear into the horizon and turned to the main tent: "My lord, guess what good thing I got today?"

 Shen Tang just drank two bowls of soothing soup.

 Hands out to Gu Chi: "Good things come to those who see them."

 Gu Chi smiled and took out the wooden box and handed it to her. He and Shen Tang looked at what treasures were in the box. The two heads were almost together, one with surprise in his eyes and the other with doubts in his eyes.

 The surprised person was Gu Chi.

“Such a rich green jade stone is rare in the world.”

 The moment the box was opened, Gu Chi's eyes were firmly caught by the bead lying in the middle, and he could no longer move away. It was a jade bead the size of a baby's fist. It was rich in color and flawless at first glance. No wonder the messenger looked so pained.

 The doubtful person is Shen Tang.

 She picked up the bead at random and put it in front of her eyes.

He weighed it twice and said, "It looks like beads made of glass."

Emperor green glass beads, not valuable.

 The real value is the box.

 Shen Tang threw the glass beads to Gu Chi.

“Whoever sees it has a share, I'll give you the beads, and the box will be mine.”

 Gu Chi didn't expect Shen Tang to be so casual. He hurriedly caught the beads. When he saw Shen Tang holding the golden nanmu box in his arms like a treasure, he was speechless: "My lord, please pay attention to your image."

Shen Tang said: "A poor ghost has no image."

 She still has a lot of debts that she has not repaid.

 Speaking of debt, Shen Tang thought of the envoy from Gao Kingdom.

“He brought back the Zen edict?”

 “It's like finding a treasure! Now Wu Zhaode has truly become an abandoned son.”

"Who made Wu Zhaode such a failure as a human being? No matter whether he was the master, husband or father, he was not qualified for any role. It is normal to become an abandoned son. I really feel emotional, and also lament how he managed to survive until now." Maybe it was the previous two bowls. The soothing soup began to take effect, and strong sleepiness gradually took over his brain. Shen Tang held on and asked, "Have our people set off?"

Gu Chi said: "I have already set out with two edicts."

 One share is Mi Shizi, who is in Zen position.

 One share is the fifth son of the Zen position. What the envoy brought back was the young son of Zen.

　　This arrangement by our Lord is really damaging to our family.

The youngest son was only six months old. His biological mother had an upper-middle-class status in the inner court, and his mother's family had a low status within the high country. He was an upstart who had gained some status through military exploits in the past few years, and his foundation was shallow. With this configuration, the youngest son was simply a born puppet master.

The remaining soldiers and horses who suffered a defeat were happy to see the success.

As long as they can reach peace talks with Kang Guo, it is in their interests that the new owner is young rather than young and powerful. Someone will always take the blame for this battle. The new owner may reuse them, but he may also use them as a substitute to establish his authority. Sinful Lamb.

 The young master and the queen mother will rely more on the old ministers.

 This is a force.

 Let's talk about the Five Sons faction.

Wu Xian's fifth son has grown up, and his mother's clan is strong. This time he has the heavy responsibility of supervising the country. You must know that supervising the country is a treatment that only the crown prince can have! What would he do if he got the Zen edict again? Will he recognize the Zen edict in the hands of the remnants?

 Isn't this the beginning of a conflict between the two sides?

Will the ambitious Mi son be willing to miss out on the throne?

Even if he is willing, Mei Jinghe will not let him do it!

Mi Shizi's Zen edict will appear at the climax of this drama! When Mei Jinghe started the scribe's path to complete the ceremony and assisted Mi's son in killing his brother and brother to usurp the throne, Shen Tang would order someone to show the Zen edict before the oriole hunted the mantis. This is called a decisive blow! Whether it's Mi Shizi with the lives of his blood relatives on his hands, or Mei Jinghe whose perfection has been destroyed...

 This is a beautiful thing that makes you laugh out loud just thinking about it.

 It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes.

Gu Chi knows Shen Tang's plan best.

 As an enemy, you can't help but feel some sympathy.

Mei Jinghe's episode was too miserable.

Comparable to the time when Jiang Sheng was tricked by Qi Yuanliang, his face was bloody.

 Gu Chi said regretfully: "...Our people are not very strong. I'm afraid we won't be able to completely kill Mei Jinghe by taking advantage of her backlash. There are still flaws in this plan."

 Shen Tang doesn't feel any regrets.

"Mei Jinghe has Qi Yanqing to protect her. Not to mention that she just completed the ceremony and was destroyed, and she can't be killed even if she is terminally ill." Shen Tang's eyes flashed with cold calculations, and after a while he lowered his eyelids and said, "It's better not to die. , if she finishes filming here, how will the good show in the southwest be performed?"

 Sabotaging Mei Jinghe's consummation ceremony is nothing more than collecting interest.

 Shen Tang still has a surprise waiting for her.

It's just that Gu Chi didn't think Cui Xiao would be happy with this surprise.

 Because of the plan, Cui Xiao's daughter Cui Hui was also involved.

Gu Chi: "You still have to ask Shanxiao about this matter."

 If you take advantage of someone else's daughter, you must always inform the old father.

  Shen Tang: “This is natural.”

 She was not worried that Cui Xiao would object.

It's not that Cui Xiao will unconditionally dedicate everything to her master, but Shen Tang has no intention of using Cui Hui for anything else. She just wants Cui Hui to go back to her ex-husband's house to visit their children and catch up with her ex-husband. Cui Hui's ex-husband is the leader of the gentry forces in Qi State and the spokesperson of the established forces.

To put it more simply, Cui Hui is a lobbyist.

In addition to Cui Hui, Shen Tang also arranged a line.

This game is not about killing people, it is just about killing people's hearts.

 Teach Mei Jinghe a good lesson!

 In addition to men and women in this world, there is another gender called "power"! "Power" In order to consolidate his own power, even the monarchs and ministers who have the best relationship will one day become disloyal. What does Mei Jinghe's master need?

　　No, what she needs is an ally who can consolidate her position. This person can be Mei Jinghe or someone else...

not to mention-

Mei Jinghe also has a scribe's way that makes the Lord unable to sleep peacefully! Her situation was very similar to that of Qi Shan back then.

Once the crisis of trust between the monarch and his subjects breaks out, it will only be a matter of time before they turn against each other.

 Gu Chi felt goosebumps break out as he listened to these thoughts. It is true that words like Lingcheng do not deceive others, and birds of a feather flock together to differentiate themselves! The Lord can see eye to eye with Qi Yuanliang because they are on the same frequency.

 The envoy brought back Wu Xian's Zen edict.

 He didn't even take a breath: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"

 The emergence of the edict solved everyone's most troublesome problem.

It's not like no one raised objections.

 “Why the young master?”

I haven't heard anything special about this young master.

 There are new children appearing in the inner court all year round. Including those born before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wu Xian's number of children is astonishing, with the number exceeding half a hundred. He himself was afraid that he couldn't even match the child's face and name, so how could he notice the unattractive young master? Not to mention giving him the Zen position... If he really wanted the Zen position, the candidate would be chosen from an adult young master, which was really abnormal.

 Some people speculated: "Maybe it means the surname Shen."

From Kang Guo's point of view, I do prefer younger people.

This guess is reasonable.

Everyone no longer looked into it in detail - the king of the country was arrested, and the choice of successor was still being influenced. This matter sounded disgraceful.

As everyone knows, another big thunder will detonate behind!

 The people sent out by Shen Tang had the time just right.

Fifteen minutes after the news came that the remnants of the army were ordered to support the young master, the fifth son in charge of the country heard the bad news and angrily smashed all the furnishings in the house. At this time, the house was in a mess, and there was no place to move: "Master, we are very happy!"

at the same time-

 The news of supporting the young master also spread to the Mi family.

 She looked silently at her son, who was like an angry beast.

He whispered: "Why don't you just admit it."

The son gasped: "Recognize it? What do you recognize it for?"

Mi couldn't bear to close her eyes.

Even if this son pretends to be harmless in the past, she can still see the undisguised ambition and desire from his behavior just now: "Accept this life! I am lucky to gain it, but I am destined to lose it. Some things are destined not to be ours." Yes, it's useless to fight for it! The queen and the two young masters are from good backgrounds, they want nothing, and they don't end up like this in the end? Why are you fighting for it? "

The son whispered angrily: "If we don't fight, our fate will be worse than those three idiots! We will die worse than them! The son just won't give in, why should he accept his fate! There are some things that my grandfather can do and my father can't. Yes, you can do it too!"

 His words made Mi's heart tremble with fear.

Hurrying to cover his rebellious mouth.

He panicked and said, "You're crazy!"

The son brushed Mi's hand away, disappointment filling his eyes.

“Aniang, if you still think of me as your son, help me!”

Mi said heartbrokenly: "Help you? Do you know what you are going to do? Now the legitimate heir is your younger brother. Even without him, you still have several other adult brothers. What are you going to fight with them for? If you fight, there will be others. What's the use! Today's Gao State, even if you can win it, what can you do against Kang State?"

 The son's eyes were sharp.

 “Useful! Even if the country dies and the body dies, the son will also die!”

The believer is willing to eat both meat and vegetables throughout her life. Please pass the subjects next week.
