Back Off, Let Me Come

Do you really think that Shi Wu is a great injustice?

You cheated once and want to use the same trick to cheat a second time?

Shen Tang is not very optimistic about this.

However, she obviously didn't know Shiwu well enough.

They went to the sun to touch porcelain, thinking that they were a race that was inhabited and multiplied by ten Golden Crows that landed here. They had noble Golden Crow blood flowing in their bodies and were the descendants of gods.

Regardless of whether outsiders believe this rumor, they themselves have been believing it for two hundred years. No one in the world is more suitable than them to live in the fertile and prosperous Central Plains.

They are eyeing the fertile soil of the Central Plains.

However, with the natural dangers of the mountains and the national border barrier near the Tiger Mountains, it would be extremely difficult for them to attack them. For this reason, it is impossible for Shiwu to miss any opportunity that may allow them to go south, that is to say——

Shen Tang was shocked that there was such a great injustice in the world.

"Is it very possible that Shiwu will be fooled a second time?"

Qishan chuckled: "It doesn't count as the second time."

Shen Tang: "???"

Qishan said uncertainly: "Using Shiwu to attack is a northwest tradition, right?"

Shen Tang: "..."

In a sense, Shi Wu is "pathetic".

Countries in the northwestern part of the mainland are at war. There are always a few shady people who like to secretly collude with Shiwu and let Shiwu send troops to harass the passes near the mountains to help contain the enemy's troops. For detailed operations, please refer to Zheng Qiao. After using Shiwu, he threw it aside. He used the word "drag" to procrastinate on all the benefits promised to Shiwu, and then refused to acknowledge it.

Good guy, isn’t this just free prostitution?

Forget about free prostitution.

The key is that all the countries in the northwest seem to have made an agreement, and they take turns flattering Shiwu and promising benefits, but Shiwu falls for the trick every time, and the results are the same. According to past rules, Shiwu would probably agree, which sounds really silly.

At first glance, Shi Wu seems to be an honest young man who makes a fuss. He is as pitiful as Bei Mo, who is treated as an experience bag next door. He is teased by this group of street guys in the northwest of the mainland who do not respect martial arts. However, because of this Take it lightly, haha.

I don’t know how I died in the end.

Shiwu, like Beimo, is a master who is good at hiding and forbearing. If Bei Mo is a mean person, teasing the northwest border countries every now and then, and if he loses, he will sacrifice the proton beauty of the tribe, and follow the marriage development route, then Shi Wu is an honest person who pretends to be someone who can be bullied, and was deceived by others using the same routine. For more than a hundred years, it has continued to be fooled, gradually letting the outside world relax its vigilance, and secretly developing its obscenities, with remarkable results.

Nowadays, the northwest countries really don't take them seriously, nor do they think they can threaten themselves.

The typical example is Zheng Qiao, who used Shiwu completely and didn't even offer perfunctory comfort and coaxing. He is a scumbag.

Shen Tang: "..."

Gu Chi tapped his fingers on his knees, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said: "The King of Swine wants to borrow troops from Shiwu. It is probably a legend in the folk songs. It is very possible that he colluded with Beimo to form an alliance. However, Shiwu followed. The Northern Desert has been secretly flirting with each other for many years. The two tribes have been dormant for many years and have matured. It just so happens that the situation in the northwest has been turbulent in recent years. They may not be able to hold back..."

Shen Tang couldn't help but complain: "Do the two tribes in Shiwu Beimo want to play Mission: Impossible? The matryoshka dolls are not that complicated."

Everyone has long been used to some of Shen Tang's confusing dialect and slang, but it doesn't affect their understanding.

Kang Shi's brows never raised, and he said worriedly: "Wang Chao thought that the Shiwu and Beimo clans would take advantage of this opportunity to help Zheng Qiao and King Sheng. In fact, they secretly joined forces to wait for their troops to be in the northwest. Will we start as soon as we gather inside the territory?”

Gu Chi said: "Most likely it will be like this."

Shiwu is blocked by natural mountains and border barriers.

The Northern Desert is also heavily guarded by border troops.

If the two clans cooperate with the Zheng Qiao brothers and borrow troops to help, they can boldly ignore these obstacles and enter the northwest territory. If Zheng Qiao and the King of Pig fight and both sides suffer losses, it will be difficult to defend against backstabbing from the two clans due to their weakness.

Kang Shi asked again: "Is the news reliable?"

Gu Chi smiled: "Of course."

His last boss was Wu Yuan.

Although he was a proton thrown out by the Northern Desert and apparently belonged to a useless son, the power of the Wuyuan mother clan was not weak in the Northern Desert. The information was not false and the two clans had been communicating secretly for many years.

Gu Chi said: "For Shiwu and Beimo, within a hundred years, there will probably be no better opportunity than now."

The conquests of the northwest countries wasted too much energy.

In recent years, there has been no relatively stable local unified regime, let alone recuperation. There are more and more small countries breaking away, which also means that the possibility of posing a threat to the Northern Desert is getting smaller and smaller. The last time I bought the experience pack in the Northern Desert, if Chu Yao hadn't turned the tide through his travels, the coalition forces of the northwest countries wouldn't have pulled him back, otherwise they might have been overthrown by the Northern Desert and come out victorious!

so--

The two clans will do their best to seize this opportunity.

There is a high probability that Shiwu will "put aside the past feud" and continue flirting with Zheng Qiao. Beimo takes the opportunity to hitch a ride on the King of Pig and refuses to welcome him. As long as their heroes can set foot on the land in the northwest, most of the two clans' wishful thinking will be successful!

leftover--

It's like starting a fight!

Gu Chi said: "Lord, we must hurry up and train our troops."

As a small governor of Heyin County, Shen Tang could not stop the duel between the Zheng Qiao brothers, let alone prevent the two tribes from sending troops to enter the country. Now the war is just a small fight, and the real war has not yet begun. All she can do is take advantage of the chaos of war to rise.

Otherwise, when the iron cavalry of the two clans were slaughtering in the northwest, she and the common people under her rule would be trampled to pieces.

Veins on Shen Tang's forehead were pulsing.

At the same time, there is a heavy feeling of powerlessness.

Kang Shi said at this time: "Xingning will not be able to see through this. He cannot sit idly by and let Zheng Qiao dig his own grave."

"Yan Xingning? Can he change Zheng Qiao's mind?"

Kang Shi was speechless for a moment.

This is really not guaranteed.

Yan'an and Zheng Qiao are brothers, and the former values ​​the latter very much. He hurriedly defected to Zheng Qiao as soon as he became a filial piety, trying to break him off... However, it is hard to say whether Zheng Qiao is willing to listen to the advice.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

At this time, Zheng Qiao was visiting the palace.

A strong man dressed in rough and exotic clothes bowed respectfully and humbly to Zheng Qiao. The official looked indifferent and allowed the strong man to flatter Zheng Qiao. No matter what he said, he would ignore it and occasionally cast a disdainful glance at him.

This strong man is the messenger of Shiwu.

It is said that this person has a very noble status in Shiwu.

But in order to see the real dragon, please come here.

If the customs between the two places were not so different, the envoy would even want to kiss Zheng Qiao's instep to express his piety and awe.

Zheng Qiao half-smiled, appreciating the brawny man's compliment.

Just give a response once or twice.

There were two "key points" in the whole meeting.

First, Shiwu wanted to marry Wang Ji.

Secondly, he is willing to pay 100,000 elite betrothal gifts for Wang Ji.

But everyone knows that this is just a fig leaf.

The focus is on "One Hundred Thousand Elites"!

After the court meeting, Zheng Qiao stayed in Yan'an.

Yan Xingning is not normal today.

He didn’t object even once!

This made Zheng Qiao a little surprised and wary - Yan Xingning didn't know him well enough, but he knew Yan Xingning well enough. He was so easy to understand. He was a gentleman who didn't have enough ability to turn the tide but was very well-intentioned!

It's impossible to watch Zheng Qiao "lead the wolf into the house" without stopping him!

If you can't stop him, you will force him to do something.

Today——

"Senior brother is mute?"

Zheng Qiao lost one son.

Yan'an was about to drop the black piece in his hand when he heard these frivolous and rude words and asked quietly: "Why did you say this?"

"Senior brother, do you have anything to say about Shi Wu?"

"I told you, can you not do it?"

"cannot."

"Then there's no need to waste your breath."

Zheng Qiao was surprised when he heard this. This was strange.

He pretended to be a test: "It's rare for senior brother to be considerate of Gu. Gu is not afraid of those two fools like King She. It's just that Beimo has brought in a hundred thousand troops. Gu's troops are not strong enough. He will inevitably suffer a loss in an encounter. He let other Xiaoxiao pick them up in vain. Cheap……"

The ineffective King She wants to unite with the Northern Desert and also borrow 100,000 elites. However, these 100,000 elites are not a "betrothal gift" but a "dowry" for the princess presented by the Northern Desert. Zheng Qiao's troops are a bit weak, so if he wants to keep up, he can only rely on external forces.

He worked with Shiwu once.

It's relatively easy to use.

Yan'an said: "You are the leader of the country."

The implication is that Zheng Qiao can make up his own mind.

There is no need to explain this to him.

Zheng Qiao's handsome face flashed with a hint of gloom, and his tone seemed gentle but was actually filled with murderous intent: "Senior brother, are you serious?"

"yes."

Zheng Qiao took down the chess piece and suddenly asked like a nervous attack: "You are not Yan Xingning!"

Yan'an: "..."

He felt more and more that this junior brother was not easy to serve.

If you oppose him yourself, he will go his own way, and no one can persuade him to do anything. He no longer objected, but Zheng Qiao questioned whether he was lying.

Yan'an didn't answer, but looked at him indifferently. Zheng Qiao couldn't see any flaws: "What are you planning?"

"I haven't made up my mind."

Zheng Qiao: "..."

He believed Yan'an's lies and that's why there was a ghost.

But what Yanan refused to say was that even if he was tortured, he would not utter a word. Zheng Qiao had no choice but to give up temporarily, but he did not forget to threaten him coldly: "I hope that senior brother's words and deeds will be consistent, and he will really think and do this. otherwise--"

Seeing the chess pieces turned into powder in Zheng Qiao's hands, Yan Yan felt a little sad and his mouth was full of answers.

In the middle of the chess game, Zheng Qiao said suddenly: "Shiwu wants to marry Wang Ji, but my junior brother has no children..."

Yan'an said: "Female any palace girl as you please."

Who are you asking to marry?

No, it's the word "Wang Ji".

He didn't think Zheng Qiao would worry about such a thing.

Zheng Qiao said: "Speaking of which, niece..."

Yanan's eyes suddenly turned sharp: "Zheng Qiao!"

Not even his first name or surname, not even "Junior Brother".

Zheng Qiao smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't panic. My niece is smart and young. In terms of seniority, she still calls Gu her uncle. How can Gu let her get married? Those barbarians in Shiwu are not worthy of such a golden branch as my niece. But Gu If you have no heirs, you will be envious if you see someone with both children. How about letting your niece play in the palace for a few days? If you are worried, you can ask your sister-in-law to accompany you."

Yan'an looked at Zheng Qiao who was smiling and smiling in disbelief, as if she had met him for the first time today.

"You think I will harm you?"

Zheng Qiao: "Senior brother, you are too worried. I have no intention of taking my sister-in-law and the others as hostages. It's just that I haven't seen them for many years..."

Both of them knew the truth of these words.

Yan'an's silent performance today made Zheng Qiao suspicious, so he used this as a warning. If Yan An didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to leave the palace alive today - Yan'an knew that Zheng Qiao was suspicious, but he didn't expect his suspicion to be so morbid. He had to endure his anger.

"I still need to ask my wife about this matter."

Zheng Qiao chuckled: "Okay."

——————

The lady thought for a moment and agreed.

"The ruler of the country is inherently suspicious, with an extreme temperament and radical actions. Follow him, if you disobey - the consequences will be disastrous." Yan'an's wife is not very beautiful, but her temperament is gentle and calm, like a clear spring in a mountain stream. It's reassuring, "It's just that Xingning hasn't given up on that idea yet?"

Yanan was silent for a long time.

The lady heard his answer, and her smile was a bit bitter, but more understanding and supportive.

Yanan felt even more guilty.

The lady said, "Xing Ning doesn't have to be like this."

She and her husband Yanan have known each other since they were young.

He was also someone she had identified with since she was young.

No matter what Yanan does, she will support it.

only--

Thinking of what her husband had confided in her heart and the overall situation he had carefully planned, the lady had no choice but to hide her reluctance.

At the same time, he also resented Zheng Qiao for failing Yan'an's hard work. The situation in the northwest would be as chaotic as it is now, and Zheng Qiao could not escape the blame. It was obviously his fault, but it was his husband who cleaned up the mess. How can he be so virtuous?

Just because of that guilt?

The madam was filled with anger, but when she thought of her husband's plan, Zheng Qiao's reaction when she learned the truth became slightly more balanced.

The next day I took my young daughter to the palace as a guest.

Zheng Qiao did not appear.

At sunset, someone was sent to escort the mother and daughter out of the palace.

"Is there anything strange?"

Zheng Qiao asked the palace attendant.

The palace man replied: "No."

Zheng Qiao enjoyed the singing and dancing and said, "It's quite strange."

He thought that with the temper of this sister-in-law, she would have scolded him to pieces in private.

He didn't go over to take a look because he was afraid of this - after all, this sister-in-law can be considered a senior sister. It's just that I didn't have much contact with Zheng Qiao, and there were conflicts in the few encounters I had with him.

The palace attendants left, and Zheng Qiao watched the singing and dancing for a while before returning to the bedroom. However, he did not fall asleep but read the book.

Haha, Yanan would probably murmur something strange when he saw it.

These secrets came from secret lines.

It can be regarded as one of Zheng Qiao's secret forces.

Specially help him do shady things.

Collect information on forces from various places who are against Zheng Qiao, or who Zheng Qiao thinks are against them. Some forces were too small and too weak, so they were directly dealt with, framed and blamed on the enemies, provoked civil strife, and let them bite dogs; for those who were difficult to deal with, intelligence was collected and Zheng Qiao made the decision.

And these few discounts——

Zheng Qiao took it as a joke.

Tianhai Wu Xian disrupted the markets in Shangnan and Yiru and secretly made money; He Yin and Shen Tang sold water mixed with alcohol behind Wu Xian's back, keeping an eye on the culprit. The most lengthy part is about He Yin's changes in the past few months, Shen Tang He has close contact with Wu Xian.

Zheng Qiao didn't take Shen Tang seriously at first.

The secret agent only focused on Wu Xian, Gu Ren and Zhang He, who were the more obvious ones. However, because of the weirdness in his drinks, he noticed Shen Tang by the way and realized that this man was not very young but was quite capable. The defense in other places in Heyin was lax, but Fugu's management was strict. Several spies in the past were killed inexplicably, and the remaining spies did not dare to get too close.

()

I'm hesitating whether to speed up the plot and jump to more than a year later.

Regarding Yanan, should he be chaotic neutral?
