Back Off, Let Me Come

The messenger lowered his eyes humbly and did not dare to look directly at Shen Tang.

Unable to judge happiness or anger from the other person's expression, she felt even more uneasy and kept beating the drums without any rhythm.

Before deciding to seek help from Kang Guo, her country's knowledge of Shen Tang mostly came from hearsay among the people and information given by allies. The content was mixed, and the envoy's initial impression of Shen Tang also originated from this. But later, I accidentally found a calligraphy book based on Shen Tang from a merchant, and from the many words, I glimpsed an image that was completely different from the initial impression.

Gu Chi, who accompanied the envoy to receive the envoy, suddenly raised his eyes.

Seeing that no one noticed him, he lowered his head silently.

The messenger's voice continued to roll forward like the wheels of a chariot. There were not only sounds, but also images, and the lines also had cadences.

[A position of power is a great tonic for eternal youth and longevity! This is true for men, and even more so for women. The female monarch is of natural beauty and beauty, and she obeyed Wu Zhaode in exchange for many years of pampering. But if you are willing to follow Gu today, what he can give you is Gu Neng! What he can't give, even Gu can give! Could it be that the nourishment I received from Wu Zhaode’s side was different from the nourishment I received from the heroine alone? 】

The pretty lady was angry with her for being frivolous and rude.

Said: [False theories. 】

The king, who looked lustful and slutty on the surface, held the female monarch's chin, and with a little skill, she forced her to look directly into his eyes: "How is this a fallacy?" The ladies around dignitaries are all graceful and wealthy. Isn't this temperament nourished by their men's power? Both are power. How is the nourishing effect different between the power in the hands of a woman and the power given by a man? If the female monarch follows Gu, Gu will not only nourish you with his power, but also let you share Gu's power, double nourishment and double maintenance. 】

Gu Chi's face was expressionless, and he was amazed in his heart.

Good guy, this is still a book of mirror stories.

The leader of a country and the heroine of the story share the world. This tonic can indeed nourish people to stay young forever. Although the scene of sharing the world with a canary is outrageous, it is commendable that the author was able to catch the master's rogue temperament to death.

Gu Chi thought that was enough.

As a result, the content of the messenger's voice took a turn for the worse.

A large, unharmonious picture hit Gu Chi head-on.

"Cough cough cough——"

He coughed violently.

Everyone, including the messenger, turned their attention.

Gu Chi's reaction ability was not limited. He immediately pinched his throat and said in a deliberately hoarse voice: "Please forgive me, my lord. I caught the cold yesterday because of the cold. My throat is not very comfortable this morning..."

Shen Tang: "..."

Her eyes asked Gu Chi what he was doing.

What's wrong with your throat?

Gu Chi still remembers that he would open the mic with people passionately today, speaking in a clear and fluent accent, and his loud voice would almost go over the palace wall and be heard by everyone in the morning market? The 70- or 80-year-old veteran was already sad that a younger member of his family had gone astray. He was so sprayed that he broke his guard on the spot and wished he could commit suicide!

Even Shen Tang couldn't bear to see it.

Now Gu Chi says that his voice is hoarse?

Haha, don't you hear some weird thoughts?

Shen Tang was unsure of what the messenger was thinking and was worried about affecting the overall situation, so he turned over and over to check the origin of the confidential letter and secretly chatted with Gu Chi. Make a judgment based on what the messenger really thinks.

Gu Chi: "..."

Don't ask, really don't ask.

He felt like he was going to slump.

No matter how beautiful the plot is, once one of the protagonists is a boss who squeezes his work every day, it will be more destructive than copying the Qingxin mantra ten thousand times. This messenger also had the courage to be distracted and recall the story on such an occasion.

Gu Chi could only speak vaguely: "Nothing, it's just that the origin of this messenger is interesting, and he is actually a supporter of the Lord." She was originally a female official in the inner court and did not have the opportunity to go on an mission originally, but it was rumored that the Lord was very fond of beautiful women, so she came. 】

Sending female officials instead of other officials was a subtle way to please Shen Tang. Shen Tang knew this, but he didn't expect that the envoy was still his supporter, so his attitude was a little more kind.

Gu Chi: [……]

If you love watching fandoms, why can’t you be considered a fan?

Shen Tang pretended to be serious and put down the confidential letter: "The content of this letter is detailed and does not seem to be a disguise, but because it is too real, I still have a question - how did you get it? How can it be so confidential? Easy to get?"

The messenger was told to tell the truth before he came.

She confessed the details without hesitation.

This confidential letter was originally in the hands of the powerful ministers of the Qi State. The powerful ministers' mansion was second only to the royal palace in terms of security, so naturally it would not be leaked out easily, but there were exceptions to everything. I don’t know which brave warrior stole it and auctioned it outside!

"auction?"

The messenger was hesitant and unclear about this part of the text.

It's not that she deliberately concealed it, but that she didn't know either. When she came, the king personally explained to her that there was such a place where there were no taboos. He also said that Shen Tang, as the head of a country, had probably been in contact with her before, so it was enough for both parties to have a good understanding.

Some things don't have to be exposed to the world.

Shen Tang did not continue to embarrass the envoy.

The members of the Gods Society have always been lawless, and there is no taboo in playing power and manipulating changes. They exchange interests with each other on this platform, any interest is fine, living or dead, including this kind of confidential information. As long as someone has the ability to create it, if someone dares to buy it, someone will dare to sell it! The northwest branch is a place for good deeds, and Kang Guo is relatively safe.

The Southwest Branch is relatively free.

Shen Tang skipped this topic and went straight to the core.

"Is the news true?"

The messenger recalled the king's anxious look, almost bursting into tears, and said frankly: "When the king of our country got it, he sent people to mark the locations for investigation. Those places were not only heavily guarded, but also had the prototype of fortresses and granaries."

This group of people was almost discovered. In the end, they managed to escape by luck by setting a fire to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Several trusted officials in the court originally doubted the authenticity of the letter, thinking that someone was secretly instigating discord, and guessed that the villains were trying to disintegrate the alliance of the southwestern countries from within and drag them into a conspiracy of suspicion and chaos! When the evidence came out, everyone was silent.

Qi Guo really wanted to kill himself!

How could he bear this?

However, after thinking about it carefully, they found that there was no one in the southwestern countries who could save themselves. Those who were capable would not take this risk, and those who were not capable would also be beaten together. In the end, they could only look to areas outside the southwestern continent.

There is absolutely no hope for the Central Continent. The countries along the route of the troops will not give way to the reinforcements, fearing that it will be another drama of attacking Guo by pretending to pass through. After all the calculations, there is only one reinforcement who meets the requirements!

Shen Tang asked: "Really?"

"Really!"

Shen Tang began to play Tai Chi with the envoy: "Once Qi State finds out that the news has been leaked, it will definitely stop and will not dare to act rashly for a while. It is not necessary to come all the way to borrow troops and ask for help..."

The envoy had an ominous premonition.

She could hear that Lord Shen was not interested in this matter.

For Kang State, which now owns the entire northwest continent, the dependence of a small country is not only useless, but also a burden, leaving only a false name. According to the rules, if a vassal state is attacked, Kang State has to send troops to support it. What is the purpose?

Before the three armies move, food and grass must go first.

These are not small military expenses.

Thinking of this, the envoy couldn't help showing a sad look: "Qi State can stop for a while, but it can't stop forever! What's the point of sleeping well for one night? With Qi State's current status, it may be cautious to stop because of the leak of secrets, but it may also tear its face!"

Just fight, don't worry about the name of sending troops.

At that time, there will be no way to save the situation.

Shen Tang was still unmoved.

She said with embarrassment: "The envoy also needs to understand the difficulty of sending troops. To deter Qi State, at least 20,000 or 30,000 elite troops are needed? In order to ensure that these soldiers have a continuous supply of food and grass, troops must be sent to escort the grain transport team, which is 100,000 in front and behind. These soldiers and horses stay in Kang State, they are towering trees with lush trees and deep roots, but they are rootless trees outside the borders of Kang State. How great is the risk?"

When Shen Tang's troops fight, the pressure on the food line is the smallest.

However, there is no need to tell outsiders these details.

She can fool the envoy with peace of mind.

After Shen Tang "calculated", he felt that this move was too bad.

The envoy was anxious when he saw Shen Tang wanted to refuse.

"As long as the king is willing to lend a hand, our country will always be subservient to Kangguo!" This trip is to ask for help from others. To put it bluntly, it is to wag the tail and beg for survival. You can't put your attitude down to the dust, nor can you be unhumile and offend people. Professionals can't handle it well, not to mention that the envoy was originally just a female official assisting the inner court, how could she have experience in envoys.

Shen Tang showed disappointment.

The envoy has no status and weight in her own country. Can she make decisions on behalf of the king of a country? Haha, even if the king of a country personally signed the oath in black and white, it can be torn up at will.

"I swear with my life in front of the emperor's palace! If there is a false word or a lie, my whole family will end in extinction in this life!"

Gu Chi's secret words rang in her mind.

[My lord, this female monarch is still a royal family girl. 】

Her entire family is the royal family.

This oath is really cruel enough. Not to mention the female officials in the inner court, even the civil and military officials in the court dare not speak easily.

Shen Tang: "..."

She appropriately revealed her surprise and appreciation for the envoy's move. After a hesitation, she seemed to soften her heart: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be settled in a few words. Don't be anxious. Wait for me to discuss with the civil and military officials and give me a reply tomorrow."

The envoy is a wise man.

Or, she had read the cheat sheet before coming and knew what words would be most touching. The reason why Kangguo was unwilling to send troops was nothing more than that the loss of sending troops was too great, and there was no need to do a business without capital. But, what if this time the troops could make money, or even expand the territory?

She couldn't help but think of a certain storybook.

The young and promising king finally got what he wanted. While rubbing his ears with his beloved, joy filled his chest. The sweat on his forehead stained his hair, setting off his eyes full of ambition. When people around her asked her why she was laughing, she picked up a strand of black hair and sniffed it, saying something ambiguous and ambiguous: [My greatest hobby in this life is to expand the territory, how can I not be happy? ]

A small country cannot satisfy the ambition of a young king.

Qi State can always make her happy, right?

Before she was ordered to go on a diplomatic mission, the king also made the worst plan - if the foundation could not be saved, at least his life had to be saved.

Qi State was no different from ordinary princes. They had no mercy on the royal family of the previous dynasty, fearing that the remnants would revive one day, so they simply cut the grass and eradicated the roots. In comparison, Kang State was much more merciful. It is said that the common people in the market often saw Wu Xian, the former king of Gao State, strolling outside. When he was in high spirits, he would go out with others to travel, learn martial arts, and live a happy life.

Kang State also conferred a title on him and raised him up.

Compared with the whole family being liquidated, this life can be considered a good life!

Of course, it is not yet at this stage.

The envoy's country meant that if necessary, they could divert the trouble to the east and instigate Kangguo and Qiguo to fight. If the two countries fought, they would not care about the small country. Even if they had to destroy the country in the end, Qiguo would not be able to rest easy. At most, they would fight to the death!

Gu Chi: "..."

This kind of talk should be stopped among the people!

However, one thing is right. The ruler of Kangguo has exclusive cat grass, and expanding the territory is a temptation she cannot refuse!

What the envoy didn't know was that Kangguo had already started preparing for war.

If it wasn't too obvious, Shen Tang could even have assembled his troops and set off on the same day, instead of following the so-called "dispatching troops and generals" according to the process. No matter how anxious the envoy was, he didn't dare to urge him.

Tan Ting was also in the army this time.

In addition to letting Tan Ting show his strength, it was also to give him the opportunity to make achievements. Only with military achievements can he have prestige, otherwise he would not be able to suppress the group of arrogant warriors. Tan Ting also knew the real intention of this battle, and he had to plan it privately.

"The elite troops sent out this time can be saved if they want to, but - there will be big troubles if they are saved." Tan Ting looked at the situation on the sand table battlefield with a little distress. His opponent was Qin Li, and the chances of winning this game were less than 50-50.

"Trouble?"

"How can a powerful country annex a vassal state that is dependent on it?" If he didn't annex it, he would be very upset to see that the small piece of land did not belong to him. He didn't believe that he could pick out a few people from the civil and military officials in the court to support him sincerely, and each of them had their own thoughts.

Qin Li looked at Tan Ting meaningfully.

"It depends on how well you can control the timing."

Tan Ting asked tentatively: "If you can delay it, delay it first?"

Qin Li smiled and shook his head: "If you delay and don't send troops, your intention will be too obvious. Qi Yuanliang and others cherish the reputation of the master so much, how can they be willing to let the master bear such a stigma? We must not only send troops, but also be quick and neat, without delay, so that outsiders can see that Kangguo is sincere in its support. However, we can only take care of ourselves at best, not the enemy, right?"

What if Qiguo destroys the small country first?

Although Kangguo will not help the small country to restore its country, it will use the small country as an excuse to get back the place, and have a legitimate reason. Whoever blocks it will be the stumbling block to be kicked away! In the future, it will not be possible to return the territory to the small country, and everything will be natural.

Shen Tang's arrangement is obviously more than that.

Her words moved the envoy so much that he didn't know what to do. She said, "I know you are very anxious. I have ordered my general to lead 300 elite soldiers to keep everything simple and disguise themselves. If there is any movement in Qi State, they can also be used."

In fact--

The enemy of Gongxi has not arrived yet, but the news has spread to Qi State.

Shen Tang and Liao Jia have been fanning the flames.
