Back Off, Let Me Come

It is impossible to fight.

So the imperial censors who were tricked by Qishan and accidentally ate the food became the only victims of this incident. The people in the Imperial Censorate once had to walk around the wall when they saw Qishan, for fear that he would take out a biochemical killing device that could poison people from his sleeves! Life is worse than death!

Spring goes and autumn comes, cold and hot come and go.

Another year has passed.

In the blink of an eye, time flows smoothly to the eighth year of Yuanhuang.

An uninvited guest came to Shen Tang's palace.

"Where did you roll back from?"

He spoke politely, and all the guards in the dark appeared, surrounded Shen Tang who was bending over to scoop water to wash his feet, and drew their swords to face the uninvited guest. Shen Tang threw the wooden ladle back into the water and waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat: "You don't need to pay attention to this person."

The guards received the message and returned to their original place in an orderly manner.

The uninvited guest sneered and commented: "A group of rabble."

With this little strength, you still want to compete with me?

Shen Tang said unhappily: "They are still young, not as old as you who are over 200 years old. Shamelessness should have a limit. This is still my palace. You can let someone pass on the message next time you come. You come and go as you please. Be careful that I will scatter your ashes!"

The uninvited guest did not take Shen Tang's words to heart. As a non-human, he no longer has such a thing as a heart.

"Uncle asked me to ask you, when will you start?"

The well-disguised skeleton in front of him is Wei Cheng.

Shen Tang pretended to be deaf and dumb: "What do you mean?"

Wei Cheng knew she was doing it on purpose, but still reminded: "You don't have much time left. The land of the world is only in your hands in the northwest."

The last time they started a war was against the State of Zhen.

Wei Cheng's uncle and nephew thought that Shen Tang would take advantage of the morale to continue to move troops to the southwest or the central part, but they didn't expect that he had no such intention at all. He blackmailed a circle of small countries, collected enough benefits, and stopped with satisfaction. Until the eighth year of Yuanhuang, there was no war!

Shen Tang: "What's the hurry? This year's Ji Tian Ceremony has not been over for half an hour. Fighting is important, but having enough food is also important."

Food is the first necessity of the people.

With today's productivity, it is still highly dependent on land output, so spring ploughing is naturally a top priority. The Ji Tian Ceremony mentioned by Shen Tang means that before spring ploughing, the king and the civil and military officials work together to personally plough the Ji Tian, ​​Shen Tang holds the plow and whips, the officials are responsible for sowing, and the gods of spring are worshipped to pray for good weather and good harvests this year. Generally, they only plough a few plots symbolically, and the meaning is enough, so as to show the people of Kangguo that they attach importance to farming. Most of the Ji Tian is handled by the farmers who are the top leaders of special farmland.

But Shen Tang is a strange flower.

She led the civil and military officials to clean up the thousands of acres of land, and then divided the snacks and noodles made from the crops produced in the land last year into several parts. One part was rewarded to the civil and military officials, hoping that they would remember that "every grain of rice is hard-earned" and continue to uphold the fine style of frugality, simplicity and integrity. Another part was rewarded to the farmers who came to watch the ceremony, thanking them for working with their hands to feed Kangguo.

The rest was put into the warehouse for charity and disaster relief.

She started these things when she was the Yin of He.

She has persisted until the eighth year of Yuanhuang.

Wei Cheng looked at Shen Tang, who was bent over and worked all day and was covered in dirt, and suddenly had the illusion of punching cotton.

He said angrily: "Why, did I say it wrong?"

It's really [the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is anxious]!

Shen Tang did not want to annoy Wei Cheng, so he comforted him: "Wei Chehou is not wrong, but fighting a war also requires the right time, right place and right people. Only when all three are combined can we conquer the enemy and win the battle without any defeat."

Wei Cheng was not fooled by this trick at all, and said with disdain: "Don't show off your knowledge to me. If you believe in military books, it's better not to believe them. Who fights a war according to military books?"

Since Lao Deng said so, Shen Tang simply shut up.

Wei Cheng's uncle and nephew have different positions from Shen Tang. The relationship between the two sides is not very good, and there are not many topics to talk about when they get together. Shen Tang shut up, and Wei Cheng could only keep silent. The atmosphere was so awkward that all the secret guards wanted to hold their breath and pick their feet. In the end, Wei Cheng lost his temper first, and he made eight hundred small movements in a few breaths: "You, you - hey, Kangguo is also good."

Shen Tang finally agreed to give him a look.

"It's rare to get even Wei Chehou to say a good word..."

She swore that she didn't have any sarcasm, but it added a sharpness to Wei Cheng's ears, and the fire in her eyes also jumped, revealing a bit of danger and depth. He said in a deep voice: "It's very much like the future I imagined with the first lord back then."

Kill through this turbid and chaotic world, and dawn will come after darkness.

How many old friends back then had this idea?

It's a pity that the prosperous and peaceful times only remain at the level of illusory imagination. I have never seen it with my own eyes, and I regret it for the rest of my life.

Kangguo seems to have concretized this imagination.

There is enough food and clothing, and no one picks up lost items on the road.

There are rows of things in the east and west, and they are lined up in front and behind.

My uncle has been trapped in Kangguo for the past few years, imprisoned and reflected on himself, and his mentality is peaceful. Occasionally, he will send his literary incarnation to walk outside to get some fresh air, and he can't help but deal with the people of Kangguo. Food, clothing, housing and transportation all made this child of a noble family who lived more than 200 years ago silent.

Thinking back to the time when the Wei family still suffered from hunger, now the most ordinary common people in the market have surplus food in every household, wear coarse linen clothes without patches, and ordinary children can go to the local official school to learn a few words, and the widows, widowers and orphans all have someone to rely on...

Wei Cheng said in a slightly awkward voice.

"...Uncle...hopes you can win..."

[Such a grand scene is only a flash in the pan, how can you be unwilling? 】

Wei Lou knew that Shen Tang had spent most of his energy and financial resources on governing Kang State in recent years. If not, how could there have been earth-shaking changes in just a few years? He has never seen anyone with great power who can still stick to his true intentions, not be arrogant and extravagant, not be too happy with his achievements, and not abuse his power... There are occasionally all kinds of messy scandals, but they are just folk fabrications and have no evidence.

Just judging from the self-control of restraining desires——

Shen Youli is indeed a god.

However, this "god" must not forget about business!

If reunification cannot be completed within a time limit, no matter how well Kang Guo is managed and prosperous, it will only become the afterglow of the sunset.

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment, and his serious eyebrows softened: "I don't know that time is running out, but there is still a chance."

In other words, there is just one less chance of an attack!

It was rare for Wei Cheng to get impatient: "Luo Li, if you have any chance, I might be able to give you a push."

After all, he is also the former leader of the Eternal Life Cult.

Even though the current Eternal Life Sect has long been secretly divided up by major families in the southwest and seeks personal gains through its teachings, Wei Cheng can still do it if he wants to cause trouble. For example, issuing an oracle to instigate believers with a certain status in the secular world to illegally invade the territory of Kang State, or if that fails, sacrifice an unlucky person at random...

Once you have the handle, you can use your troops to launch an attack, and your division will be famous.

Shen Tang said: "Are you in a hurry?"

She took a sip of tea and said, "It's already being arranged."

Wei Cheng was so angry at Shen Tang's temper that he threw up his sleeves and left. Before leaving, he cursed: "A dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart!"

Twenty years later, Chehou Yu condescended to come to help, but she didn't know what to do!

Shen Tang: "..."

Looking at the direction in which Wei Cheng disappeared, she pressed her eyebrows and exhaled all her turbidity: "You are quite impatient for your age."

Toot toot, toot toot—

The tip of Shen Tang's ears heard the sound of flapping wings, followed closely by something rhythmically pecking at the wood window. Her heart moved, she stood up and pushed open the window. A blue bird lightly jumped on her fingertips, and then melted and stretched into a literary flower note.

There are only a few sentences in the flower note.

She looked to the southwest and whispered to herself.

"The wind is blowing, it's the east wind."

The cold weather in spring can kill young people.

The weather has been changing this spring, and half of Qi State has entered winter overnight.

The sudden drop in temperature made the already damp and dull depths of the dungeon even colder. The dark walls were covered with mold and moss, and rotten haystacks left spots on the ground. A woman in a thin spring shirt huddled in the corner, holding her knees with her hands and resting her forehead lightly on her knees.

Crash--

The gate chain was unlocked.

The crisp sound of metal touching broke the dark silence.

This dungeon is low and cramped, and no fresh air can come in even if the door is opened. The leading woman was dressed in rich brocade clothes, followed by two jailers who helped light the way with lamps and whispered to her from time to time to be careful where she stepped. The woman said: "No need to wait here."

The jailer looked troubled: "This, this can't be done..."

After hearing this, the woman no longer forced herself.

His eyes turned to the cell at the end.

"Then just open the door. Is that okay?"

The jailer did not dare to offend the famous person next to the king, so he took out a bunch of keys and opened the door: "Time is running out, please hurry up."

The woman walked into the cell and whispered: "Mrs. Cui——"

The crouched woman moved slightly and raised her head, revealing a haggard and pale face. Her eyes were numb and lifeless. She stared at the person for a long time before recognizing the person's identity.

The hoarse voice could not hide the disappointment: "...it's you."

"yes……"

The woman said weakly: "I thought it would be Cui Zhishan."

"He can't come now, but you'll be out soon."

When the woman heard this, she just shook her head, which was numb from the cold: "It doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't matter whether he comes or not."

"You should warm yourself up first. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing." The visitor shook off the cold-proof cloak he brought and put it on the woman's shoulders. He then used Wen Qi to warm her limbs and said solemnly, "This time it's us. You're careless... Mei Jinghe has a good trick! But this just proves that she has indeed been forced into a desperate situation..."

With the continuous input of Wen Qi, Cui Hui could finally feel her limbs that had become stiff and numb. She tightened her cloak to keep the warmth: "You still have to be careful with her...be careful to push her into a panic and jump over the wall like a dog." You guys were able to escape unscathed, but I, an ordinary person, suffered..."

Cui Hui wanted to say something light to lighten the atmosphere, but a sharp pain shot from the depths of her mind to Tianling Gai, causing her eyes to turn black.

Feeling dizzy and sweating profusely.

The visitor burst into anger and turned to question the jailer.

"How presumptuous! Who allowed you to punish her?"

The jailer was almost scared out of his wits by the sudden murderous aura. He said, "This, this... I am just following orders in my humble duty. Everything is ordered and ordered from above."

His knees went weak, and he almost couldn't stand and fell to his knees.

Just when the jailer thought that the noble man was about to go on a killing spree, the murderous aura suddenly stopped. Cui Hui raised his hand and caressed the back of her hand: "He is just a pawn under the command of others. He acts according to orders. No one can blame him. It is said that he was sentenced to death, but in fact he has no flesh and blood injuries."

"There are indeed no flesh wounds, but -"

Spiritual torture mostly works on the spiritual level.

Tangible injuries on the body can be cured with magical elixirs, but invisible injuries on the mental level are extremely difficult.

There are very few doctors in the world who have this ability.

The person who is being sentenced will not care about the prisoner at all!

Cui Hui lowered his eyelids: "I can't die yet."

As a chess piece on the chessboard, Cui Hui knows how heavy his chess piece is.

Mei Jinghe would not let her get into trouble easily.

As for the punishment?

Cui Hui's eyes were filled with turbulent waves.

When the fire is not enough, you should add fuel to the fire.

Mei Jinghe designed to capture her, but she wanted to use her as a chess piece to shock Cui and test the bottom line.

Both sides always restrained their anger during the confrontation.

But this is not what Cui Hui wanted.

How can you lose control without fire?

"After you go back, tell Cui Zhishan about my situation truthfully." Cui Hui endured the endless numbness and dull pain from the depths of his mind, and smiled miserably, "I also want to see what our calm Cui family master will choose this time! How much do I weigh in his heart..."

Miao Ne pursed his lips tightly: "Okay!"

With Miao Ne's guarantee, Cui Hui's tense heartstrings finally loosened, his consciousness gradually blurred, and his body became heavier than ever before.

Bang——

There seemed to be a loud bang on the door!

"Ke..."

Then a vague voice came from the sky.

"Ke Wu..."

The voice sounded familiar, it should be someone familiar.

Cui Hui tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids were as heavy as if they were filled with lead water. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move at all. The strong feeling of suffocation and the burning pain in her chest brought a terrifying experience close to death.

"Ke Wu, wake up!"

After an unknown amount of time, her consciousness slowly returned under the urging of the noisy sound. She opened her eyes a little, and a vague figure appeared in her vision. It was this person who was tirelessly making noise.

She said weakly: "Noise... Shut up..."

Cui Hui thought her voice was very loud, but in fact it was not much louder than a mosquito, but this response was enough to encourage the man.

"Ke Wu, I'll take you home now!"

A pair of strong arms picked her up.

Cui Hui subconsciously curled up in the familiar embrace and let herself fall into a deep sleep. She was finally safe!

She slept soundly, but she didn't know that the outside world was in turmoil. Cui Zhi, the head of the Cui family, led people to break into the prison.

They took away the prisoner Cui Hui and openly protected him.

"Cui Zhishan, you are openly defying the law!" Mei Jinghe rushed over as soon as she received the news. Seeing Cui Hui being tortured, she was shocked. Seeing Cui Zhi's gloomy and fierce appearance, she immediately understood that she was being plotted against.

Who instructed Cui Hui to be tortured?

"Defying the law? Ha, what about you, Mei Jinghe, who carried out a private execution without a final decision?" Cui Zhi endured and endured, and restrained himself. "Mei, I won't fight with you here, but I will come to your door one day to settle this account with you in detail!"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that this matter is not easy to deal with.

The King of Qi has been in power for many years, and he has developed a majestic demeanor of a superior without getting angry: "Jinghe, is this what you promised me? Not only did you not do much to the Cui family this time, but you also let a group of noble families rebel and make suggestions. You must be held accountable."

Mei Meng said: "Cui's village..."

The King asked sternly: "Where is the evidence? Do you still want to say that the evidence has been wiped out and there is no evidence now! From beginning to end, I have not seen the so-called evidence in your mouth. Do you think I am still your puppet for power?"

Mei Meng was struck by lightning.

Cui Hui heard good news when he woke up.

Mei Meng was demoted.

She smiled at Miao Ne: "You got promoted?"

Miao Ne said: "The King also needs a flower of understanding."
