Back Off, Let Me Come
Chapter 1367: Who knows that the way of heaven is as curved as a bow (Part 1) [Seeking monthly votes
"I have already found someone to investigate the situation in Yuanfu County and contact Ximin and the others. Gongyi can rest assured for the time being."
Luan Xin bowed his hands to express his gratitude.
Shen Tang held his hand and helped him up: "What are you thanking me for? We have been friends for many years, and we still pay attention to these empty formalities?"
In the past two years, she has devoted all her energy to the southwest region. From the beginning of the war to the post-war reconstruction, she has hardly stopped for a quarter of an hour. All the affairs in Kangguo are basically handed over to Qishan, the important minister of the regent, and only those that are really difficult to handle will be handed over to her. With the existence of Dingding, and the old practice of the Kangguo court to inspect everywhere, the civil and military officials have no big objections to this.
Some people even feel fortunate that this is also good - they don't have to attend frequent court meetings, and they can sleep a little longer every day.
However, the local officials below are not so good.
Although they are not corrupt, they are also a little lax.
When the situation in the southwest stabilized a little, Shen Tang immediately killed them back, and made a surprise tour to the north to check the political achievements of various places in the past two years. The officials who were arrested and reported on their work did not perform well in their defense, so they had to consider what to do. This is also one of the main reasons why Shen Tang's workload has skyrocketed recently. The incarnation of Wen Qi has been working non-stop for twelve hours and still can't turn around. The imperial physician found out that she has kidney deficiency.
Energy is limited, and some places cannot be taken care of all the time.
Until Luan Xin personally asked for an audience.
[I shouldn't have disturbed the master, but Ximin hasn't sent back any news for two months, and I'm really worried. ]
[No news for two months? What about Li Wan? ]
[No. ]
Otherwise he wouldn't be so restless.
Luan Xin has real feelings for Miao Ne, his student. She is not only his student, but also the enlightenment teacher of his little daughter, and she has a mother-daughter relationship with his wife. He never forgets to visit her on her birthday. Even if he can't come, the birthday letter will be delivered in time. Half a month ago was his wife's birthday, and Luan Xin also wrote a letter a month in advance to ask for a title to surprise her.
Madam counted the gifts from the guests but didn't find Miao Ne's letter.
Luan Xin wanted to comfort his wife. Yuanfu County was originally an enclave, and the power in the territory was unstable. It was normal for Miao Ne to forget it accidentally because he was busy with official business. But his wife didn't think so: [It's abnormal for someone as careful as Ximin to forget. You also said that Yuanfu County was dangerous...Will something happen to her? Can you find out? ]
Luan Xin didn't dare to rule out this possibility.
Even with Gongyang Yongye in charge, it can't be said to be foolproof.
Luan Xin checked and found that the news was interrupted, so he could only find his master to intervene. Shen Tang would naturally not sit idly by. Yuanfu County is also a chess piece in the central continent. Try to keep it as much as possible. The embarrassing thing is that Gongxi Chou, Luo Sha and Wei Cheng are all on Zixu's side, Chu Jie, Wei Shou and others are in the southwest to prevent rebellion, Yun Ce can't be transferred back to Kangguo, and the others are not strong enough.
War is a waste of money. The Southwest War and post-war reconstruction greatly delayed Kangguo's domestic economy. People are needed everywhere, and money is needed everywhere. It's like one person can eat one bowl of rice to be full, but there is one more mouth in the family, but the income is not much, and there is still only one bowl of rice, which leads to two people can only eat half full and barely survive.
Shen Tang needs time to recover. For this little time, he agreed to the difficulties of his ally Quguo and sent Lin Feng and his party, making the already tight manpower even more stretched. Fortunately, there was some progress on Zixu's side, which gave her a breath.
Wu You also meets the conditions.
But Wu You is farther away now.
After counting, the only person who meets the requirements is Luo San.
"I just hope Ximin will not worry about her life." Luan Xin can only pin his hopes on Luo San, whom he has never met.
Shen Tang comforted him: "Auspicious people will be blessed by heaven."
Miao Ne is more valuable alive than killing her.
This value can guarantee her survival to the greatest extent, and is more reliable than Gongyang Yongye and Cui Xiong of the Cui family.
"My Lord, the Minister of Rites requests an audience."
"Announce."
Except for the Dingding court meeting, Shen Tang had not seen Qin Li for a long time, and knew something big was going to happen as soon as she saw him. She looked at Luan Xin, and her heart sank - he had always followed the rules and kept a standard distance even when walking, but this time he was a little more flustered.
"Gong Su, what happened?"
He didn't even care about the snow on the fox cloak he was wearing outside.
You know, this snow-white fox cloak is Qin Li's favorite! Even if a scholar with a literary mind is not afraid of cold or heat, he can choose style over temperature in the winter, and can spend the whole winter wearing two thin Confucian shirts, Qin Li will still take it out and wear it after winter.
This shows how much he likes it.
Not only does he know how to wear it, but he also pays attention to wrapping the fox cloak with literary aura to avoid dirt, and when the weather gets warmer, he will let people maintain and seal it.
It's rare that they don't care about the falling snow like today.
Qin Li said: "My Lord, Yuanfu County and other places have been lost."
Shen Tang looked calm, but his heart was actually in turmoil. Even Luan Xin, who was habitually a step behind, showed extraordinary speed.
He clenched his fists: "Lost?"
Shen Tang closed his eyes and suppressed his thoughts: "When did you find out?"
Qin Li replied: "Today, half an hour ago."
He then added: "The ownership of several enclaves changed hands in an instant. This situation must have been planned by the enemy."
Since the Taishi Bureau was put into use, Shen Tang handed the national seal to Qin Li for safekeeping, so that he could use the national seal in conjunction with the way of the literati to build a satellite weather map to monitor the whole country and assist agricultural production in various places. This is a big project, and Qin Li must personally travel to various states and counties. The Southwest Continent was included in the territory, and he was also the busiest person besides Shen Tang, and he almost never touched the ground.
This is the first time that the recorded territory has disappeared inexplicably.
It was still a few enclaves in the central area that disappeared, or they disappeared at the same time. He thought about it for a moment and knew that something was wrong.
"Changing owners in an instant? Be cautious."
There are several enclaves scattered everywhere. Even if the enemy has wings, it is impossible to catch them all at the same time. They must be done secretly and then pick an opportunity to absorb them at the same time. If they were absorbed separately and Kang Guo found out in advance, wouldn't the enemy's plan be in vain?
The central continent has really changed.
Shen Tang frowned and suppressed the cold look in his eyes.
She closed her eyes and took the initiative to contact Zi Xu Wuyou. After a few simple exchanges, she exhaled softly. She stood up and walked to the mainland map screen. Her eyes glanced everywhere: "Zixu Wuyou has not received any news from both sides...Zixu is busy attacking Qi State these days. The geographical location of Qi State is in the south of the central continent, Wuyou was sent to the northeast... several enclaves are here, which means..."
Shen Tang roughly defined a range.
"Changes should happen around here."
In these places, if the superiors deliberately intercept the information, they can indeed avoid Kang Guo's eyes and ears in a short period of time. In this era, there were no mobile phones, and information transmission relied more on private labor. The distance is farther, and it only takes two or three months to come and go.
This is enough time for the overthrow of a regime.
Qin Li instantly understood what Shen Tang meant: "I will order people to search for relevant information about this place. There may be clues."
Even though it's just a matter of making amends, it's still better than nothing.
Luan Xin stared at the map and observed it carefully.
Several enclaves are scattered in different regions and adjacent to different countries. They were taken away at the same time, which means that the forces behind the operation can be unified and efficient. Either there is a country in the middle that is quickly unifying all the places, or they have reached a deeper alliance. No matter which one it is, it is bad news for Kang Guo at the moment.
Such a big movement could be hidden from Kang Guo.
Definitely come prepared.
Qin Li mentioned another detail: "The news of the mission's secret visit to Qu State has not been disclosed to the public. If the change happened at that time, it is impossible for Lingde not to notice the difference. Calculate the time..."
Lin Feng also stopped briefly in Yuanfu County before going to Qu State.
At that time, everything was normal in Yuan Fujun.
Although some local forces made things difficult for Miao Ne, Miao Ne was able to handle it without difficulty, which meant that the incident happened after that.
Gongyang Yongye who followed Xiang Zhao to Yuanfu County was being lured away from the mountain? When you meet a powerful enemy, you can't protect yourself so much that the news doesn't get out? Or, defected? Although this person's character is acceptable, the possibility of the third one cannot be ruled out.
Shen Tang said: "Gongsu, call the ministers for a court meeting."
I'm afraid this day will never be peaceful again.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Kang Guo's side looked like a storm was about to come. Luo San received the commission and only had time to give a few words to his old troops before setting off at starry night. Although he only has the strength of an eleventh-level right watch on the surface, his physical strength is still at the level of Chehou, and his physical endurance is amazing. Even if he walks for three days and three nights, he will not be tired. He also carries a national seal on his body. The national seals will sense each other. Even if Luo San uses force to isolate them, there is no guarantee that they will be foolproof.
Since Luo San has been trapped in Shanyong County, except for occasionally going out to visit friends, he has stayed in one place at other times. This time was his first trip away from home in decades, and he went to the northwest, which he had never set foot on before.
"Old man, how far is Yuan Fu County from here?" In this era when there is no navigation when going out, even a strong man like Luo San can only ask for directions. No one can guide him, so he relies on the leaves, sun and moon to determine the general direction. If you run too far, you have to turn back.
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
Luo San didn't make any pretense.
Because the physique of a brave warrior is so recognizable.
The old man was a bit deaf, so Luo San asked several times before the other party responded. He waited for a long time and pointed to a location. Then he looked at Luo San's outstanding physique and said kindly: "Young men, please don't go there. They have been catching strong men recently. ”
Luo San, who was actually old enough to be my father-in-law's grandfather, smiled and thanked him for his kindness: "By the way, does my father-in-law know the Yuan family?"
The father-in-law said: "What injustice happened?"
"Is there a family named Yuan in the local area?"
The old man thought for a long time: "Old man, I have never heard of it, but my ancestors said that it existed in the past, and then they moved to another place when they fell into poverty."
Luo San was not surprised by this.
With that type of play that consumes life span, it's strange to be able to live for a long time. When a family loses its backbone, it is only a matter of time before it falls into decline.
Luo San asked the old man again where the ancestral grave of the former Yuan family was: "I have some friendship with my ancestors, and I want to pay my respects."
My husband only remembers the approximate location.
"...I can't find it even if I go to worship now."
The tombs of wealthy families usually have expensive burial objects, and those who do bucket digging often make a fortune by digging up human graves. When the Yuan family was at its peak, the hills where their ancestors were buried belonged to other people. There were servants patrolling and guarding them every day, so no one dared to dig. Later, they moved away and there was no time to move the ancestral graves. Did the tomb robbers just take risks and visit them?
It may not be possible to find the grave in the past.
Luo San didn't care about this. He still laughed when he heard that his rival's ancestral grave was being visited. Being able to plan is the most important thing, and being able to survive is the most important thing!
He went to the Yuan family's ancestral grave first.
There was an owner on the hill where the ancestral tomb was located. Luo San avoided the mountain guard and touched it, but what he saw was different from what he imagined. I expected to see a tomb covered with weeds and collapsed and broken stone tablets, but instead I saw several new tombs with signs of repairs.
Taking a closer look, the tombstones all start with Yuan.
"Then the old man lied?"
He doesn't look like it.
Luo San grabbed a handful of ashes from the graves. They were still very fresh, but the death year on the tombstones was forty-five years ago. These graves were old graves renovated, not new graves. He walked around the mountainside and found an old tomb that had been renovated in a place with excellent Feng Shui. It had the words "Tomb of the Yuan Family's Five Sons Fujun" written on it. Luo San's eyes lit up and he stepped on the tombstone: "Found it."
He was even happier when he saw the dates of birth and death.
"You'll die at thirty-one, you short-lived ghost."
As the saying goes, being able to fight is of no use, but being able to survive is the way to go. Yuan Fu's first battle was earth-shattering, beyond the reach of his generation. He seemed to know everything, but he just couldn't live. Luo San stepped on his feet as a friendly greeting to his old friend.
"I'm a kind man, and I don't mind bullying the dead. I'll leave this grave for you to live in." Luo San clapped his hands, stood up, and prepared to leave. Just as he moved his steps, the tips of his ears twitched, and he instantly dodged dozens of feet away and hid deep in the dense forest. After ten breaths, a red shadow fell from the sky. The visitor stood where Luo San had just been, looking around as if he was looking for something.
After more than ten breaths, the second person arrived.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone just came."
He also left a large footprint on the tombstone.
"Grave robber?"
"No, he's a warrior." The first person shook his head and judged, "The other party sensed me before I came. It's okay if it's a passerby, but if... we still have to be more careful."
The second person looked at the footprints in silence.
Who would a passerby deliberately step on a stranger’s tombstone?
The two left shortly after.
Luo San stared without moving, and as expected, the red shadow appeared again. After looking around a few times and finding nothing, I finally left.
"This bitch Yuan Fu..."
Is there still a descendant in this generation?
Luo San smelled an unusual smell.
He was extremely careful in his subsequent actions and successfully lurked into the city, discovering that martial law was imposed everywhere. He went to the county house and found out that the governor Yuan Fu was not the Miao Ne that Lady Xiahou said. He was not even a woman but a man named Yuan. There was a hint of Yuan Fu in his eyebrows and eyes, and he was most likely his descendant. So where did the original county governor go?
Luo San went to look for Yuan Fujun's dungeon again.
The dungeon was dark, with only a ray of moonlight cast from the iron window above.
After searching around, I found that there are really many people locked up here.
One of them is very special.
Luo San observed secretly, and saw a skinny boy huddled in a corner wrapped in a very ill-fitting blood-stained cloth, his hands cuffed by torture instruments, his eyes closed tightly, and his childish features showed weakness. After watching for a while, the other party suddenly said: "Have you seen enough of me?"
His voice alarmed the others in the prison.
Luo San only showed up after setting up an isolation barrier.
"Which one of you is the governor of Miao County?"
I started asking relatives and friends to help me make the cover.
The original title of the book was "How can one not go crazy when one is a protagonist?" 》
Later, I thought it was too long and changed it to "How can one not go crazy when one is a lord?" 》
I also thought "Is this farmer a must?" 》Also?
However, I still prefer the second one.
