Back Off, Let Me Come

"Is this captain the descendant of a Chehou?"

Shen Tang and Xiahou Yu have known each other for several years, and he knows that the other party does not like to make big promises without certainty. Since he mentioned the captain of Shanyong County, this person will definitely be useful. Shen Tang couldn't help but think of Gongyang Yongye. It seems that this old Deng also helped the Southwest Alliance to go into battle because of his descendants. This possibility is not small. Chehous of the 20th rank are rare, but they must have many descendants.

The rules of the rivers and lakes are that if you can't beat them, you can call for help.

Xiahou Yu said, "No."

Shen Tang became more and more curious, and his curiosity was aroused: "This is not it, that is not it, then what is the relationship between the two?"

Xiahou Yu said something shocking.

"That is the Chehou himself."

Shen Tang uttered: "...Ah?"

No, even if there is an error in the battle report, it is impossible to mistake the 20th Chehou for the 11th rank. Shen Tang also carefully read the battle record and personal basic information of the captain of Shanyong County. Who would arrange a Chehou here?

She didn't rush to question Xiahou Yu.

She just asked, "What's the inside story?"

Xiahou Yu said tactfully, "I also found out about him from the dean's belongings. Before, I only knew that he had a good relationship with the dean. When I was sorting out the dean's belongings, I found several letters that had not been sent back in time. The letters mentioned that this person had an old illness, which seemed to be related to the fact that this person had a problem in the promotion of killing good thoughts, causing his cultivation to fall to the eleventh level, and it was difficult to improve at all... After this happened, he hid in the countryside."

Hiding in the countryside is the best way to save his life.

How can someone who can cultivate to his level not have some enemies?

Whether it is an enemy or a political enemy, he can kill him.

In troubled times, the so-called genius is also a consumable with extremely fast iteration. There are many unlucky people who die halfway, and his disappearance is not uncommon. His contemporaries thought that he died in a corner, and the next generation did not know him.

After Xiahou Yu surrendered to Shen Tang, Shen Tang saw that he still missed Quqing Academy, so he made a special trip to greet Zhai Le and allowed her to send someone to collect the old things, just as a little memory for Xiahou Yu and others. It happened to be his birthday, so even the gifts were saved.

More than a dozen carts of relics were collected.

Most of them were purchased from the homes of villagers in nearby villages.

After the fire that year, nearby villagers ran over to pick up bargains, taking away all the unburned ones, and taking them home as kindling was also good. When Shen Tang sent people to buy them, the villagers thought they were settling accounts. It was not until they found that these broken things could really be exchanged for money that they went door to door to notify that a big sucker had come. Xiahou Yu put these away properly, and accidentally found a few bamboo pieces with the dean's handwriting mixed in them. He followed the clues to find the letters that had not been sent. Then he pieced the bamboo pieces together and found that the content was interesting.

He had an impression of this Sugino County Commandant.

According to the dean, the other party was an old acquaintance of the first dean.

The establishment of Quqing Academy also had a part in the other party's contribution.

When Xiahou Yu was teaching at the academy, he didn't know the strength of this captain, and only thought that he was an ordinary eleventh-class right officer. It is conceivable how surprised he was to see the content of the correspondence between the dean and the other party, and the hermit master was actually right next to him!

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Tang's reaction: "I remember when the dean was still there, he would come to the academy for a few days every summer. Yu had met him a few times, but he didn't say a few words. If I rashly go to lobby him, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate."

Xiahou Yu explained specially.

It's not that he doesn't want to win without fighting, but the captain has a friendship with the dean, not with himself. It's simply a foolish dream to persuade the other party to surrender with this little friendship. The eleventh-class right officer can't bear the humiliation of surrender, let alone an old general who is theoretically a thorough marquis? Gold, silver and treasures may not convince a brave warrior, but fists can!

Shen Tang didn't care about this at all: "...According to what Zikuan said, this person was indeed glorious for a while, but it's all in the past...Or is there any way for him to break through the limit in a short time and exert far more than the eleventh-level right-handed strength?"

She asked this question with some hesitation.

The Suginaga County Commandant was able to break through the ceiling limit and exert his original strength for a short time. He was indeed qualified to be a rescuer, but he was also qualified to beat himself up. After all, Shen Tang had to beat the opponent first before the opponent might surrender to her to be the rescuer.

Xiahou Yu affirmed Shen Tang's guess, but also gave her a reassurance that she only needed to arrange an opponent with the strength of the eleventh-level right-handed. In other words, Shen Tang couldn't play in person.

"...Could it be that he becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent?"

How much strength does the opponent have, and how much does he unlock?

Xiahou Yu, like Chu Yao, never hesitates to praise.

"My lord is smart, that's what he meant."

"Something's wrong. If he can become stronger when facing a strong opponent, he is no different from the real Che Hou. No opponent he meets can beat him. Why did he retire back then?" There is no need to worry about persecution from enemies and political enemies. Isn't his strength still there?

"It seems that there is a time limit."

The dean mentioned this in the communication with the other party.

A flash of inspiration came to Shen Tang's mind.

She said firmly: "Time limit? I'm afraid it's more than that."

Martial warriors of the same realm rarely drag out the battle line. A simple time limit is not enough to force the other party to retire, unless it is a few seconds or a dozen seconds, then it is indeed useless. Shen Tang boldly guessed that there may be other harsh restrictions here.

She quickly discovered the problem with the mechanism: "...When encountering a strong force, be strong. How can you use a strong method? Suppose his opponent is the eleventh-level right update, and his strength returns to the twelfth-level left update. At this time, I will send another Can he be killed in a two-on-one attack by the 13th-level mid-level warrior? Or will his strength be further restored because of this 13-level mid-level warrior? Is there any limit to the number of times he can recover?"

If there were no restrictions, he would still be invincible.

If there is a limit, what is the maximum number of times?

Can I get a BUG?

Xia Houyu was almost stunned by what he said. The lord was thinking about these issues, but he had never thought about them. He just speculated on the best conditions for dealing with the opponent based on the past achievements that the captain could find - the higher the level of brave warriors, the greater the gap. His side sent eleven Right update, the opponent's strength can at most be restored to level 12. Left update, even if it is one level higher, there is still the possibility of leapfrogging the challenge. This small gap between individual warriors is not worth mentioning in front of the three-army formation, nor does it affect the overall situation.

He said shyly: "My lord, I forgive you, I don't know."

Shen Tang said: "Why should Zikuan blame himself?"

The information provided by Xia Houyu was very timely. If he didn't mention anything and rashly fought with the opponent, wouldn't he be confused? They agreed to wait for the eleventh hour, but as soon as they made a move, they went directly to their weak point. If they were careless, they could be seriously injured by Lao Liu.

Shen Tang did not intend to bet on this person for reinforcements.

When she decided to send out Lin Feng and others, she had prepared a backup plan.

After hearing this, Xiahou Yu stopped worrying and concentrated on preparing for the battle in Shanyong County. When Shen Tang learned from him that the captain still had this relationship with Quqing Academy, he thought about changing the battle plan.

Gu De dismissed her idea: "This person cannot lobby."

It is impossible for the dean to take action personally.

Shen Tang said: "I didn't expect the lobbying to be successful either."

Just wanted to stir up trouble a little bit.

"First of all, not many people should know the true identity of this captain. If I were the leader of the country and there was such a captain in the local prefectures and counties, let alone he could exert his original strength under certain conditions, even if No, I will also give him up directly and sell his bones to attract more people to work for me."

Shen Tang could guess from the fact that the other party was just the captain of Suinaga County - there must not be many people who knew his identity, at least not including the king of the country and the governor of Suginaga County. According to the record that can be checked by the outside world, the captain is an old mediocre person with low talent. He has never fought a few battles beyond the limit of his own strength in his life. He is useful but not indispensable.

The previous Magistrate was shot by a stray arrow in the battle, causing the wound to fester and die. The current Magistrate of Sukinaga County had just taken office a few days ago.

Time is short, and the two do not have the basis to trust each other.

Xiahou Yu said: "Leave this matter to Yu."

He said a few words to the other party, and there was barely any affection.

Shen Tang rejected Xia Houyu's request: "Zikuan can't do it."

Due to some special reasons, Xia Houyu did not disclose his background to the outside world. Only some old friends who had been recruited knew that he was practicing again. If the captain of Suinaga County recognized him, he would know that the force he was loyal to had at least a national seal. Shen Tang's power in the central part of the country was just a local warlord, and he obviously had no foundation for establishing a country.

Being too suspicious would make his situation more dangerous.

The matter fell on Gu De.

Shen Tang also assigned him an additional task.

So, so, so, so, the whole content made him a little doubtful about life: "Master, are you sure you want to do this?"

Shen Tang smiled slyly and said, "Let's try it."

This tactic was also her first time to use it.

Inspired by jellyfish essence.

After the seafood is frozen, it can be used for business or for sneak attacks. Shen Tang planned to send some elites to infiltrate the donated fresh water and aquatic products. It would be absolutely impossible for the enemy to be prepared. When the time is right, these people can just take the enemy by surprise from the laxly defended rear, open the city gate, and close the inside and outside!

Gu De hesitated: "But..."

Shen Tang asked back: "Will Yourong be wary of food?"

"...At most it is suspected that the food has been poisoned."

Instead of doubting that food can make a big difference in life.

Before this, no one would use the Martial Arts Totem like this, and no one would have thought that the enemy was mixed in with the ingredients.

What's more, it's a batch of frozen ingredients.

"Isn't this enough?" When it comes to fighting, it's all about taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them unprepared. Only the sixth person can have the last laugh.

Gu De: "..."

Shen Tang said regretfully: "If I had thought of this method earlier, many battles in the past would have been easier to fight."

She was also stuck in a mental deadlock.

Gu De: "..."

Inexplicably, I sympathize with the lord's future enemies.

While Shanyong County restricted Shen Tang's power, the transportation of grain and grass here also became a problem, and the shortage of grain and grass in the territory had already begun. The food supply among the people has skyrocketed, and the common people can only brave the cold to go down the river to fish. Even the guards in the county rely on this road to eat some meat.

Fish in the rivers within the territory are almost extinct.

It will take half a month for the next batch of grain and grass to arrive.

It's cold and hungry outside, but it doesn't affect the food and clothing at the upper level.

Under such circumstances, the appearance of a strange caravan attracted the attention of all parties. When entering the city, all the wooden barrels on the carriage were detained. When they were opened, they found that the barrels were full of fish sealed in ice. All kinds of river fish make people hungry.

The surface of each fish is covered with a layer of crystal ice and snow.

The guards immediately found an excuse to attack.

The young man headed by him leisurely reported his origins.

Upon hearing this, the guards knew that they could not afford to offend, so they reported the news layer by layer under suspicion. The captain of Shanyong County was training his troops, and he was worried about the shortage of military rations in the camp. The report came from his account that someone had sent a large amount of food, and he said it was an old friend of his.

The captain thought it was ridiculous at first.

"What's this trick again?"

Didn't he remember that he had an old friend who was a fish seller?

I didn't want to meet him at first, but I changed my mind after hearing the other party introduce himself: "A student from Quqing Academy? Which one?"

"Student Gu Yourong has met the captain."

The actual age of the captain was more than 150 years old, but in appearance he was just a middle-aged man with white beard and hair and brown scars on his left and right cheeks. His body is tall and strong, his back is straight and straight, and he looks like a solid hill just sitting there.

"When did you become a fish seller?"

He is selling fish, does the dean know?

The captain was well-informed and knew at a glance that the young man in front of him was here to lobby, so he refused without thinking. Unexpectedly, his voice and attitude were very gentle: "I do have some friendship with you Quqing Academy, but not with you little kids. The battlefield matters, the winner and loser are determined on the battlefield, don't engage in any conspiracy in private, I'm the best I don’t like these vain people.”

As long as Gu De wisely leaves, he will just pretend that it didn't happen.

Gu De smiled reluctantly: "This is not for lobbying."

The captain raised his voice slightly: "Oh?"

He watched Gu De take out several letters from his sleeve.

"The thing is like this. I was searching for old college belongings among the people, and unexpectedly found a few private letters that I had not yet sent out... I didn't know they were private letters at the time. I just thought they were the dean's relics and opened them, only to find that it was you who signed them. "

The captain accepted the letter and doubted it.

As soon as I look at the date of signing, I can remember when it happened.

"Have you read it all?" In addition to the normal communication between friends, the rest of the content is the dean's answers to the captain's questions, as well as many ideas for solving his old illness. These letters were not even painted, and it was unknown how many people had read them.

Gu De nodded and said, "I've seen it."

He didn't care at all about the murderous intention surrounding the other party.

The captain said: "After seeing it, you won't be able to live."

Gu De sighed and said: "The captain thought that this junior didn't expect this before he came? Since he dared to come, he was naturally prepared."

His words made the captain interested.

"You dare to come here knowing that you are going to die?"

"How did the captain know that this junior is not on this trip to survive?"

The captain's body leaned forward slightly, bringing extreme pressure: "If you want to survive, do you want to betray your master?"

Temporary betrayal in front of the battle, nine out of ten deceptions.

The captain said: "I don't believe what you say."

Gu De was still unhurried: "Captain, do you still remember why Quqing Academy was burned? Who forced the dean to self-immolate? Her contacts with Qu State have already touched the vitality of Quqing students..."

"...How many people did you bring here?"

The Captain's topic jumped very quickly.

Gu De said: "There are only more than two hundred confidants."

These so-called cronies are all ordinary people, and the captain will find out once he checks them. These people are not enough to carry out a sneak attack from inside and outside.

"What happened to those fish?"

"The food and grass are strictly guarded. Even if someone is covering for the junior, it will be easy for her to know once he is transferred. It is easier for these river fish... Although they are not of great use, it would be good if they can last a few more days."

It’s the end of the month again, so remember to remind Shiitake to post a monthly ticket event.
