Back Off, Let Me Come

1. One or two hundred thousand gold?

In an instant, blood rushed to the Tianling Cap.

Shen Tang felt that the scene in front of him was flickering on and off. Kang Shi's big head swayed from side to side, and he felt a strong sense of suffocation.

"One, one and two hundred thousand...gold?"

She endured the discomfort and stretched out two fingers.

Because Shen Tang's face looked ugly at the moment, and his voice was as deep as before a storm, he was instantly frightened.

In a rare moment, Ai Ai said: "Ah, yes."

After speaking, he nodded heavily.

This number is still Kangshi's relatively optimistic estimate.

In fact, when the heavy shield warriors army was in a state of complete victory, the offensive was fierce, and Xun Zhen alone might have been able to resist 40%, buying precious time for others. Without this hand, even if this battle can be won, it will be a miserable victory. There is a high probability that the city gate will be missed and it will turn into a street fight inside the pass. The effect is so immediate, how can the appearance fee not be expensive? Expensive, it means expensive!

Shen Tang's face turned pale, and Kang Shi suspected that a gust of wind could blow her away: "...I am really lucky to have you!"

Kang Shi said sarcastically: "When things are urgent, follow the authority."

Then he said: "My lord, don't be too sad, you can't make enough money! How can a person be poor all his life? Yan Ling said it well, you will come back after all your money is gone! With my lord's ability, five, six, seven or eight years...then It will definitely be repaid. You think so?"

Five, six, seventy-eight years...

Shen Tang wanted to stab Kang to death with a sickle.

However, she finally couldn't hold it any longer.

Look straight back.

"Lord——"

Kang Shi's screams, as if he had seen a ghost, resounded throughout the sky.

"My lord, please wake up, my lord -" Kang Shi was so frightened that his heart rate was soaring, and his quick eyesight and hands quickly supported his lord who was falling backwards. "My lord, my lord, you have to cheer up -"

Shen Tang closed his eyes slightly with anger, and waved weakly to Kang Shi: "I'm tired, destroy it! Ji Shou, go and pull out my oxygen tube. Then tell Gong Xiqiu and ask him to cover me up overnight. Get on the coffin board and buy a standing ticket to return to the clan’s land.”

Now only death escape can free her from debt.

A loan of one to two hundred thousand taels of gold!

In modern times, it is like working as a labor force in the society and working for free while carrying hundreds of years of loans. Other social workers were working part-time to repay their loans, but they could still see the commercial housing. She didn't even take a look at it, but she didn't even hear a sound. One or two hundred thousand taels of gold was gone...

She tightened her belt and paid back the previous five thousand taels of gold loan. How long did she pay it back? After only a few days of being out of poverty, he suddenly returned to poverty, and the amount of debt was measured in tens of thousands! No matter how good her attitude is and how optimistic her personality is, she still wants to cry.

"What's wrong with Goro?"

Just when Kang Shi didn't know what to do, Chu Yao, who heard the noise nearby, came over quickly. He was panicked and thought something had happened to his master. When he saw Shen Tang lying on the ground, her pair of energetic apricot eyes drooped, she looked like a salted fish without hope. Kang Shi, who was beside him, couldn't make her move even with his smiling face. Immediately, Chu Yao knew what happened and stepped forward with a sigh.

Kang Shi asked him for help with his eyes.

Chu Yao's eyes indicated that he could leave.

At the same time, he waved his palms downward, signaling the people surrounding him to leave. The lord is thin-skinned, so don't pay too much attention to her excitement. Seeing Chu Yao coming to clean up the mess, Kang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly picked up his clothes and ran away. The only way to survive is to stay away from right and wrong.

Chu Yao quietly sat beside Shen Tang.

Shen Tang turned his back to him, blinked and pursed his lips, feeling a drum in his heart, or regret - regretting that he had lost his temper because of his emotions. She felt sorry for the money, but she spent the money to protect Chaoli Pass, which in disguise protected her foundation and the lives of the sergeants who followed her. As the lord, she had a bad temper. Hanzhang knew that she might be resentful, and outsiders also said that she was stingy.

After all, her power was preserved.

Having a high position and dominating one area, but only losing a little money, as long as the foundation is still there, you can run it well in the future or exploit it everywhere and make money under clever pretexts. How much money can you not have? What does one or two hundred thousand gold count in this collapsed world?

The atmosphere was quiet.

You can only tell that Chu Yao is still there by breathing.

Shen Tang had finished her self-reflection and PUA, and was about to open her mouth to review her willful behavior that was not in line with her status as a lord. She heard Chu Yao sighing and saying "Lord, I'm sorry" from above, and felt a pair of warm and steady hand supports in confusion. Touching her head and neck, she didn't know what Chu Yao was going to do, so she followed his strength and cooperated, and then she had a pillow.

She rested on Chu Yao's lap.

The dead fish eyes suddenly widened in fear and turned into almond eyes.

Meeting Chu Yao's gaze above her, she couldn't help but cough twice in embarrassment: "Wu Hui, don't you think I'm being willful this time?"

It is really unbecoming for the leader of the force to lie on the ground and roll around like a naughty boy. If Yuan Liang, who values ​​etiquette and etiquette, were to know, wouldn't he be so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas entered nirvana?

Chu Yao said: "Human beings are not grass and trees."

Even tough people sometimes break down.

How can you still have vitality if everything is done in a rigid manner?

Shen Tang covered his face with his hands: "They all saw it."

Chu Yao suppressed a smile: "I won't tell you."

A debt of one or two hundred thousand gold may not be too difficult for other well-established forces. After all, after this battle is over, the overall situation in the northwest is basically settled. How can it be impossible to get it together? But the lord can't, or she sticks to her heart and never mixes public and private treasury, so this debt can only go to her private treasury. She pays back whatever she earns until the debt is completely paid off.

Before she paid it off, her pockets were cleaner than anyone else's.

Not to mention the leader of a force, how about letting an ordinary person live a life with food and housing for a few years, working overtime every day but not seeing any pay? No matter how good her mentality is, she will collapse. The master just lies on the ground and has a tantrum. She is very good.

Shen Tang pursed his lips: "But they all have ears."

She is a sixteenth-level powerful person. How many people nearby can she not know? None of these people have left!

How could a group of literati and brave warriors with extraordinary ears not be able to hear it from such a small distance?

Where does this put her face as the lord?

Chilling, she was very chilled.

Chu Yao raised his hand and put up a barrier to prevent prying eyes.

Holding back his laughter, he said, "I can't hear it now."

Shen Tang let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this.

Chu Yao noticed that Shen Tang's tense muscles had relaxed and said warmly: "The celebration banquet will take a while. If my lord is tired, please take a rest first. My lord has also worked hard in this battle."

Shen Tang suppressed the corners of his lips that wanted to raise, and swung his toes from side to side in a brisk rhythm: "Well, I'm really a little tired."

So I closed my eyes and fell asleep for a while.

Chu Yao quietly slapped her for a while.

Thanks to the Wen Qi/Martial Qi, they work hard and nourish the meridians, and the physical fatigue has long since dissipated. After a while, she became energetic again and said, "Wuhui, do you feel like something is missing?"

Chu Yao asked: "What's missing?"

Shen Tang raised his finger and pointed at the sky: "There are no birds!"

The last time Kang Shi opened the way of scribes, the sequelae lasted for seven or eight days with Shen Tang. Today's battle was difficult and dangerous. It stands to reason that the power would be stronger than the last time. Why aren't there any annoying birds pooping around now? No more diarrhea?

Chu Yao smiled and said: "Of course someone has to drive them away."

This area is temporarily banned from flying!

The corners of Shen Tang's lips were slightly raised, and his eyebrows were smiling.

"Well, that's right. I'm their lord!" She stood up and patted the dirt on her body, then jumped on the spot twice to regain her strength. "How can the celebration banquet be without me as the protagonist? Wuhui, How is Brother Zhaode now?"

Chu Yao followed her: "I'm injured."

"Is the injury serious?" Shen Tang frowned.

Huang Lie is dead, and the remaining soldiers are like scattered sand. It is not difficult to defeat them one by one. This means that Shen Tang can completely break the Sword of Damocles hanging above his head! Without external threats, Wu Xian's power has been weakened after this battle, and it no longer poses a threat to her.

It no longer mattered whether he was dead or alive.

But they are allies after all, so life is better.

Shen Tang's mind changed and he thought of many strategies to exploit it.

Chu Yao: "The injury is not serious, but it is not life-threatening."

After all, he has the body of a brave warrior, and ordinary injuries can be healed within a few days with simple bandaging. This celebration banquet was also proposed by Wu Xian, which was quite meant to please his lord. Chu Yao and others naturally have no objections...

It is said to be a celebration banquet, but it is actually a preliminary division of interests.

Wu Xian also wants to find out how much energy Shen Tang has preserved, which affects whether he should eat some meat or drink soup. It is understandable for him to think so. After all, the alliance between the two families is only a verbal alliance. They have to cooperate because they have a common enemy.

Whether it will be peaceful or otherwise remains to be seen.

Wu Xian was also afraid that Shen Tang would overturn the table at this critical moment.

Shen Tang said: "As long as your life is not in danger."

She was now dirty, and the blood stains on her clothes had long dried up. Under the combined effects of body temperature, air temperature, dust, and soil, an unpleasant stench was brewing. Chu Yao had people prepare clean clothes and water, just waiting for her to wash up.

Passing somewhere, Shen Tang glanced at him.

Pretending to be fierce, he said: "You still watch?"

Is everyone having nothing to do?

The staff hiding in the darkness of the ruins dispersed like birds and beasts.

From time to time, one or two mutterings can be heard.

"Wu Hui looks really virtuous..."

"Xian Hui? Not a loving father/mother?"

"It's rare to see my lord so childlike..."

Shen Tang's face turned green and red, and he gritted his teeth.

What a tall and majestic image she has as the lord!

Through the moonlight, I could vaguely see Qin Li among the crowd.

Shen Tang: "..."

Why is Qin Gongsu also here?

She expressed her inner doubts.

Chu Yao: "Ji Shou's voice is so shrill."

To put it unluckily, the mourning was not so sincere. Not to mention other people, even Chu Yao was shocked. I guess Qin Li also came over after hearing the noise...

Shen Tang: "..."

She silently made a note to Kang Shi in her heart.

"Wuhui, I want to take this opportunity to confess to Brother Zhaode about Gongsu and the others. Since Gongsu and Dayi have been entrusted to me, they are now my people, and they must have the status to follow Wu Zhaode. What does it look like?”

Chu Yao tilted his head as he listened.

There were waves in the corners of his originally calm mouth.

Why don't my lord's words sound pleasant to you?

Can this be said?

Coincidentally, Shen Tang didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and kept asking Chu Yao for advice: "It's just that I'm a little worried. Am I taking advantage of others' danger by confessing now? Is it bad for Gong Su and Dayi's reputation if it spreads? Not so good?"

Chu Yao: "...Why is it so bad?"

Shen Tang frowned: "Afraid that the outside world will criticize them for being disloyal."

The pen of a man of letters is better than his sword.

Chu Yao pondered for a moment and gave a pertinent suggestion: "That being said, if we don't say it at this time, it will be difficult for them to deal with it when they go back. The injustice suffered by Qin Gongsu and others will be tormented wherever they are. Spread it out and say , Wu Zhaode couldn’t say anything. After all, it was Tianhai who couldn’t deal with people first.”

Shen Tang nodded: "Then you go and find out what Gong Su and the others have to say, and you have to talk to them about this matter."

Going in both directions is YYDS.

Chu Yao took a deep breath, gently brushed away a strange thought in his mind, crossed his hands and said, "I will live up to my master's trust."

Shen Tang put his hand on his.

He said with satisfaction: "I can rest assured that Wuhui will do the job."

Chu Yao: "..."

That strange sense of déjà vu became even stronger.

It wasn't until Shen Tang jumped to take a shower that Chu Yao rubbed his sore and swollen forehead and accepted his fate to find Qin Li. Fortunately, Qin Li didn't go far. The latter stood in a daze and didn't even notice Chu Yao approaching. His face was so white that there was no trace of blood, and there was a dark blue under his eyes that could not be covered up. Some fine lines were also added to the corners of his eyes at some point. It is very common for ordinary people, but literary scholars have literary energy to protect their bodies. Their bodies will remain in their prime for a long time and they will not age easily. Qin Li's change is a danger signal...

Qin Li was stunned for a moment when he realized Chu Yao's gaze.

He said softly: "Don't worry, it's only temporary."

You can regain your strength after a few months of rest.

Qin Li said so, and Chu Yao didn't ask any more questions. Thinking about the previous situation, Wu Xian's camp was also attacked by heavy troops. Qin Li must have paid a heavy price to barely preserve some vitality. Let me ask, what price is more precious than life?

"The shortcomings inside can be healed by resting, Gong Su, don't worry too much." Chu Yao didn't mince words, but went straight to the point, "My lord wants to ask Wu Gong for you and Dayi and the others at the banquet, and you still need your cooperation in this matter. . Let’s not mention it now. When you return to Tianhai, Mr. Wu, who is already severely weakened, will not easily let you change your job elsewhere. What do you think?”

Only by seizing the moral high ground first can you point fingers at others. At the banquet, Qin Li was indispensable, singing and cooperating.

Qin Li hasn't spoken yet.

Chu Yao thought that he still had worries in his heart, and advised: "Only if Mr. Wu is right and the lord is intimidating him, can we ensure the safety of your relatives. As long as Mr. Wu still wants to be decent, we must ensure their safety. If Gong Su is there, If you have any concerns, feel free to express them."

Qin Li sighed.

"I'll let Mr. Shen take care of this matter. Our family members have all been settled. Even if Wu Gong doesn't agree tonight, he has to agree."

Chu Yao blurted out: "So fast?"

Qin Li said: "Fortunately, Governor Xu helped me."

His relationship with Xu Jie was not a good one, and in the early days it was even considered bad. Because he was well versed in the nature of merchants, he saw early on that Xu Jie was betting on both ends and Hongxing was cheating. While helping the late master Wu Xian, he secretly visited Chencang with Shen Jun and flirted with each other.

Sooner or later this person will become a big problem.

Qin Li had an upright temperament. He told Wu Xian bluntly about the dangers of Xu Jie several times, and even quarreled with him in public, which completely offended people. In the following years, Dayi and Xu Jie got closer, which somewhat eased their relationship, but it was still not friendly.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jie took action at the critical moment.

Qin Li, I feel ashamed.

It is rare that Tangmei, who is willful, feels the father's love (crossed out)/mother's love (crossed out) from Wuhui
