Back Off, Let Me Come

Luo San's words were a bit unfair for Wei Cheng.

Shen Tang said dimly: "Heh, if he hadn't had a dispute with Gong Xichou and had fought you without my knowledge, sending you back to your peak state, I wouldn't have used the granary as bait to fish. Wei Cheng didn't work for me, but to clean up the mess he made. The siege strategy does take a long time, but it can minimize the losses."

It was difficult for him for no reason.

Shen Tang didn't turn hostile because of their friendship.

Luo San: "..."

Shen Tang's accusation was really hard to refute.

Luo San still doubted Shen Tang's statement that "he didn't want Luo Hou to cause trouble." Is there any difference between this plot and no plot?

The threshold for achieving this condition is really too low.

The price Shen Tang paid is difficult to measure in money. The investment in a bloody battle is astronomical, not to mention the invisible losses that cannot be seen by the naked eye. On the other hand, Luo San, the loser, could save his life and return to freedom without paying a price. Where in the world can such a good thing be so cheap?

Luo San is just old, not suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Since Shen Tang was evasive and unwilling to confess, Luo San would not rush to make trouble and peel off a layer of skin to feel comfortable.

He considered: "Your conditions, I agree."

Shen Tang's face was visibly relaxed.

She sighed again--

Luo San, the Che Hou, was really the easiest to talk to among the Che Hous she had met. He was mentally stable and very reasonable.

"But--" Luo San changed the subject and mentioned the captured old subordinates. He wanted to ask Shen Tang how to deal with them. If possible, he still hoped that the old subordinates could have a better ending. "Those old subordinates have followed me for many years. They have made mistakes in small matters but have not lost their righteousness. They are all iron-willed men. Your Majesty is broad-minded. Can you carefully consider their fate?"

In troubled times, human lives are worthless.

Prisoners of war are not even considered human beings.

The better ones, after surrendering, will be used as cannon fodder for the next war, and if they survive, they will have the hope of climbing up; the worse ones will be sold in various ways, completely reduced to slaves, and sent to wasteland to do hard labor and corvee labor, and they will work until they die.

If Luo San had not been completely defeated, he could have exchanged the prisoners in his hands with Shen Tang's prisoners and redeemed all his people, but Luo San had no hope of turning over. Naturally, there was no possibility of these prisoners being rescued.

According to Luo San's cognition, it was basically impossible for Shen Tang to use these prisoners of war as ordinary soldiers. He never thought that Shen Tang's existence was to break cognition: "The country has its own laws, and the army has its own regulations. Even I can't easily give Luo Hou a back door for personal gain... Your old subordinates, why don't you come forward to persuade them. See if they are willing to continue to join the army or redeem themselves through labor."

The former is not controversial.

The original organization was disrupted and placed in various military camps.

As for the latter, Luo San really needs to come forward to speak.

She never burns, kills, and plunders ordinary people during wars, but she is not a philanthropist. The high cost of war must be shared, and prisoners of war are one of the biggest profits. Prisoners of war must sell their own labor to save enough "redemption capital".

Luo San: "..."

If someone else said this, he would definitely know what the two paths given by Shen Tang refer to. Joining the army means being cannon fodder and dying, and redeeming oneself through labor means being a slave and working until death, but with the previous preparation, Luo San always feels that it will not be so simple.

If he can return to freedom, why would he embarrass the remnants?

Luo San asked: "I wonder what the rules are?"

Shen Tang once again sighed that Luo San's mental state was stable.

If it were any other general, he would have been restless long ago.

After more than ten years of fighting, Shen Tang already had a complete process for the resettlement of prisoners of war - the cost of raising a young and strong man in troubled times was too high, and she would not easily kill prisoners of war or torture them to death unless necessary. If these people could give up their original identities without bloodshed, be self-employed farmers, support their families and contribute to the population of Kangguo, Shen Tang would not deliberately make things difficult for them, let alone raise the butcher knife to purge them.

She took a general process description to Luo San.

Luo San: "..."

He read it again and again, and for the first time he suspected that he was illiterate.

He knew every word, but he couldn't recognize it when they were put together: "Are these true? Lady, are you doing charity?"

Now it was Shen Tang's turn to be speechless.

She often didn't fit in with these old men because she wasn't perverted enough. Wei Cheng also said something similar, complaining that Shen Tang was too lenient and preferential to the captives in the Gaoguo War. If the captives were not killed, these captives should be grateful, how could they dare to think of anything else?

Luo San read it again and again, frowning in confusion.

His inquiring eyes made Shen Tang uncomfortable.

"If you have any doubts, just ask."

Luo San asked: "Looking at the foundation of the lady's account, it is not an ordinary force. It is not too much to establish a country on the spot. This kind of preferential treatment for prisoners of war is unheard of... Forgive me for being frank, the lady's behavior is comparable to the ancient saints, but why are you still a scattered army?"

Shen Tang's forces are still only rural warlords.

There is no funding from other countries, nor support from famous families.

She is now fighting "without a reason", which is to say that she is the henchman of bandits, but judging from the details of the preferential treatment for prisoners of war, she is more organized than many regular armies. Whenever Shen Tang's forces negotiate with Shanyong County in the name of the country, when Shanyong County is out of ammunition and food, Luo San will consider the possibility of opening the city without bloodshed. Doing it or not is one thing, at least there is hope.

Luo San's camp belongs to "Shanyong County".

Shen Tang didn't know that the common people in this land had migrated here one after another from other places. Where did all those people go?

Naturally, they were all killed by Luo San in his last accidental massacre.

He sealed the out-of-control Wu Dan totem in the city wall and built military defenses. No matter how the local government changed, he remained peaceful and contented as the captain of Shanyong County. His original intention was to forgive his sins. Theoretically, as long as Shen Tang doesn't massacre the city and exterminate the species, Luo San is not unable to negotiate.

Of course, there still has to be a fight before going to the negotiating table.

A brave warrior will always respect his strength.

Shen Tang: "..."

What is this?

She worked hard to save five million in assets, but then she turned around and discovered that she had already won five million in the expired lottery ticket she bought many years ago?

So what are the twists and turns in between?

Is she unlucky?

It must have been Kang Shi who used Huabei to overcome it again.

Shen Tang rubbed his swollen eyebrows to relieve his headache.

"...not stragglers."

The head office has been listed for a long time, and it may still be one of the top five companies in mainland China. The goal is to kill other listed companies and unify the entire financial industry. She didn't take the initiative to reveal these details, and let Luo San discover them slowly by himself. A king and his ministers are like lovers, being curious is the first step to fall. She didn't believe that Luo San, who peeled off the branch's vest layer by layer like an onion, would not have a good impression of her.

Kang Guo, the succubus in the country.

Luo San didn't think he was a very curious person. He wouldn't easily believe Shen Tang's rhetoric until someone who called himself Xinglin Medical Doctor came over. When the other party sees him, his eyes light up, his gaze is fiery, and he wants to pierce his clothes with his gaze and strip him naked.

Luo San: "..."

He suddenly remembered what Sheriff Sugenaga said about a group of weirdos who took advantage of his unconsciousness and touched all his chest and abdomen.

Could it be this person in front of me?

"Are you the Xinglin doctor sent by Nujun?"

Shanyong County is not a big place, and the information is not very well-informed. Luo San has never seen the methods of Xinglin healers with his own eyes, and only thinks that this title refers to some doctors with excellent medical skills, such as Xinglin Sage.

"Hello, Luohou, my Lord should have told you, right?"

Doctor Xinglin put down the medicine box with an enthusiastic attitude.

Luo San hummed: "I will try my best to cooperate."

He has a good temper in many aspects, one of which is his lack of medical treatment - this is very strange. A courageous warrior relies on his high strength and recovery ability, and he does not think highly of low-level doctors, and his attitude is very arrogant. He could cure well because he was strong, but he could not cure well because quack doctors harmed people and caused many appalling medical tragedies.

Doctor Xinglin smiled so hard that his teeth disappeared.

She said with great enthusiasm: "Don't worry, Marquis Luo. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will definitely go all out to cure your chronic illness. Even if my medical skills are not good enough, I will help you. All the favors will be mine. If there are some results in the future, the Medical Department report I’ll write a second piece for you.”

Luo San didn't understand very well.

But he had a good temper, so he nodded in response: "Okay."

Doctor Xinglin’s smile became more sincere.

If there was anyone who the Xinglin doctors in the entire Medical Department envied the most, it was definitely not Dong Dao, the imperial physician, but Bei Jiu, the general supervisor who had nothing to do with the Medical Department. It was simply because the master craftsman had a human test subject beside him who helped collect data without any regrets.

According to the rules of the Medical Department, certain experimental medical techniques involving human ethics can only be tested on death row prisoners and animals, and not on ordinary people.

However, rules are dead, but people are alive.

High-level brave warriors are not included in this category. Qualified brave warriors will not take risks and serve as guinea pigs for the medical department. Only when they really can't survive will they take a gamble and try to turn their bicycles into motorcycles. I have never encountered this kind of gambling dog so far.

The gambling dog didn't wait for it, it waited for a good man.

The medical expenses of Luo San and the prisoners of Luo San's old unit were reimbursed by the public. They did not owe the Medical Department any favors. They were even willing to be themselves as guinea pigs and risked their bodies for free. They were simply living Buddhas of the Medical Department. ah!

She asked cautiously: "Then - start testing the medicine?"

Luo San nodded: "Yes."

Shen Tang was vaccinated before sending the people here. Any method he wanted to use had to be seen by her. Not all methods could be used. Despite the restrictions, Doctor Xinglin is very satisfied - Luo San can help him better control the dosage of new medicines and the effects of the doctor's words, and can also provide immediate feedback on the efficacy of medicines. Those experimental animals will not speak.

Luo San has little hope for treatment.

Agreeing was just an act of obedience to Shen Tang.

But after seeing the unique treatment method of Xinglin doctor, he fell into silence - turned out to be this kind of Xinglin doctor?

Did he remember what else the lady said?

Xinglin, the most skilled doctor in the world, is under her command?

How could such a capable person easily obey anyone?

Back in the dungeon, Luo San asked Magistrate Suinaga next door.

"Have you ever heard of Doctor Xinglin?"

The county guard had only heard of it, and only his uncle had actually seen it.

The head of a high-ranking family in the royal capital was seriously ill. The filial son of the family traveled thousands of miles to invite a doctor who was said to have miraculous medical skills. He called himself Xinglin Doctor. With a little intervention, he actually saved the patient who was sentenced to death. The head of the family reciprocated the favor and wanted to make the other party famous, and stirred up public opinion to give people the reputation of the sage in the apricot forest. The doctor didn't accept it, saying it wasn't worthy.

[Dong Gong’s pearls and jade are in front of me, and I am really unmatched. 】

"Why do you ask this?"

Luo San asked: "Who is the strongest Xinglin doctor in the world?"

There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, and it is difficult to judge the level of medical skills. How can that female monarch dare to say that the first doctor is under her account?

He calmly replied: "I'm not sure about this, but I heard from a Xinglin doctor that the most respected Xinglin doctor in the industry is Dong Dao... I've never heard of this name before."

"Dong Dao?"

"It is said that he is the pioneer healer of Xinglin, he should be the strongest."

Luo San asked again: "Where is he from?"

"It seems like they are from Kang State in the North?"

"Northland? Kangguo? This name sounds familiar."

Sheriff Shanyong joined the group chat: "Kangguo? Doesn't this sound familiar to you? It's the force that unified the northwest and was so rampant that it couldn't find the north. It even boasted that it would arrange a list of famous ministers and celebrities for the civil and military affairs of the tent. What kind of countryside? In the first volume, she was an old commoner woman. I remember her name...what she was called...I don't remember her name. Anyway, she was a country woman named Li..."

What strategies can a country woman have for flood control?

It is widely believed among the people that this was the "god creation" of Kang State, which used all means to win over the people and deliberately fabricated such an old woman to show to the people of Kang State. Starting from the results and working backwards, we can find that Wang Ting wasted some pen and ink, and the people were moved to the point of bursting into laughter.

The county guard said: "I heard that the leader of Kang State is very popular among the people."

It was the first time that he knew about it and was amazed that he could still play like this.

The leader of Kang State is so good at playing.

Luo San was not interested in the fact that the leader of Kang State was unpopular with the people. He asked: "Dong Dao? Does he belong to him? Who is he loyal to?"

"Of course the doctor Xinglin of Kang State is loyal to the king of Kang State, otherwise who could he be?" The county guard suspected that Luo San's brain was damaged by a trip. "It's ridiculous to talk about the king of Kang State. I heard that some people are not angry with famous ministers and celebrities. I wrote a rumor and went to Kangguo to discuss it in person, trying to tear up the other party’s fig leaf, but the result was that the man ran over and never came back.”

The uncle guessed: "Killed?"

The county guard nodded in approval: "Most likely he was killed."

Luo San didn't care that the topic was so crooked.

All he could think about was "Dong Dao, the number one doctor in Xinglin, is loyal to the Lord of Kang", so what the female monarch said was completely nonsense. This is also understandable, everyone will exaggerate sometimes to put money on their face. The Xinglin doctor under the queen's tent is indeed quite capable: "What is written in the biographies of famous ministers and celebrities?"

"There are currently two volumes of this thing. Which one do you want to listen to?"

"Anything is fine."

Being in jail and recuperating is a boring job, and having someone to talk to can also pass the time. The county governor was a literary scholar after all, and he still had a photographic memory, not to mention the two volumes of biographies of famous ministers and celebrities that he had read over and over many times.

He remembered every word.

For a moment, he was eloquent.

Luo San listened quietly. Only when the county guard mentioned that Chu Yao had a student named Lin Feng in the second volume, he frowned.

"Lin Feng?"

(へ╬)

After staying up all night, I feel exhausted.

To this day, people are still confused.

Destiny, something will always happen at the critical moment.

I'm feeling better now. Yesterday I felt that my hands were shaking so much that they didn't belong to me. My mind was buzzing and I had completely lost the ability to think.

This is yesterday's update, not the 16th.
