Back Off, Let Me Come

"Gonggong, Gonggong, Gongxiqiu - are you crazy?" Chao Lian tried his best to tilt his neck back, greedily breathing in a breath of fresh air, and at the same time, he tried to break open Gongxiqiu's fingers that were pinching his neck. The other party's force was stronger, and he My neck is about to be broken in the hands of this reckless man, "Are you going to strangle me to death?"

"When did you meet that person?"

"Where did you see him?"

"Say! If you lie even one word, I will twist off your head. Even if Gu Ziyi comes with his troops, they can only collect your body!"

Gong Xiqiu relaxed his strength, but still didn't let go.

Chao Lian looked at Gong Xiqiu above, coughed twice, and signaled to him if he could get up: "This is not the place to talk, and we don't look like we can talk like this..."

When Gong Xiqiu saw the piece of paper, he suddenly became angry.

He grabbed Chao Lian's neck with one hand and pushed him down on the table.

Seeing that the situation was bad, nearby vendors fled quickly.

"Cough cough cough -" Feeling the strength on his neck lessening, Chao Lian seized the opportunity to turn over and get off the table. He held the table with one hand and kept coughing. After a while, he regained his composure and asked Gong Xiqiu, "That person looks similar to you." , is he your relative?"

Judging by his age and appearance, he's probably Gong Xiqiu's younger brother?

Chao Lian felt a little regretful.

He only met Gong Xiqiu once or twice. When he saw the young man's immature face that day, he felt vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. After seeing Gong Xiqiu's iconic alien attire, he suddenly remembered that the two of them looked similar.

Gong Xiqiu looked at Chao Lian with cold eyes.

"You answer my question."

The words "If you don't answer, you will die" are written in his eyes.

Chao Lian was very knowledgeable about current affairs and replied: "The young man I met on the 16th had a childish face and looked to be at least thirteen or fourteen years old. He came to the city to buy cloth, needlework, salt, sugar and other items. Because of a small matter and There was a conflict with Thirteen. This man was neither a literary scholar nor a brave warrior. He used unprecedented methods and subdued Thirteen with just one move."

"Young man? Thirteen or fourteen years old?"

Gong Xiqiu made a final decision with his fingers in his heart.

The more I calculate, the brighter my eyes become!

"Is everything you said true?"

Chao Lian asked back: "This person is related to Thirteen's life. Our brothers want to find him more than you do. What's the benefit of deceiving you?"

Gong Xiqiu was ecstatic!

At this age, he is definitely the eldest brother’s child!

His great nephew!

In order to further verify his guess, Gong Xiqiu wanted to see Shao Chong. According to Chao Lian, his good nephew had a fight with Shao Chong, and there was definitely evidence left on Shao Chong. His heart was like an arrow, and he couldn't wait for a breath, so he dragged the person away.

Chao Lian's neck was in crisis again.

“Gong Xiqiu—let me down!”

"Don't scream!"

Gu Ren wanted to dig three feet into the city these days, but no good news came. As the full moon night came closer, he became more and more anxious, and he looked at the table full of letters and had no intention of dealing with them. After reading a few lines, I couldn't help but sigh.

boom--

A loud bang!

The violent martial energy hit the door of the government hall.

Gu Ren was also used to seeing assassination scenes. He calmly raised his hands and waved his sleeves. The literary barrier rising from the ground blocked the wind from the frontal attack. His sleeves were filled with wind and made a hunting sound. But other things in the hall were not so lucky and were washed away in a mess.

Like the ruins after a hurricane.

"Who is so presumptuous!"

Gu Ren scolded in a deep voice.

The nearby guards and adopted brother also rushed over.

When he saw the intruder clearly, Gu Ren's serious expression cracked for a moment - Gong Xiqiu! His twelfth brother was still clamped in his arms, with a look of despair. After all, he was an old fox who was used to seeing troubles. He blinked and returned to normal. When he saw the distinctive clan pattern on Gong Xiqiu's body, he was secretly shocked. He immediately thought of the young man that day and waved his sleeves to ask the guards to retreat.

"General Gongxi paid a sudden visit. Why?"

"Meet your brother."

Gong Xiqiu left Chao Lian behind.

His tone was arrogant and natural, as if he was the master here.

Gu Ren ordered Chao Lian to bring Shaochong.

There are two other sworn brothers, like the two generals of Hengha, one on the left and the other on the right keeping an eye on Gong Xiqiu to prevent him from suddenly making an attack. Gong Xiqiu sneered at this, completely ignoring the two weaklings. He didn't become serious until Shaochong appeared.

"Fifteenth grade young master?"

Gong Xiqiu saw through Shao Chong's strength at a glance, and Shao Chong also recognized Gong Xiqiu as the enemy general who fought in Xiaocheng. They fought a battle, but he was defeated by his opponent and almost died: "Brother, Why is this person here?"

Gu Ren said: "I'm looking for you."

Shaochong rolled up his sleeves: "Looking for me? Looking for a fight with me?"

Gong Xiqiu curled his lips: "Just you?"

If it were other fifteenth-level juniors, it would indeed make him feel troublesome, but Shaochong was not one of them. The opponent's strength was achieved by stimulating the potential of the Gongxi clan's secret skill Gu worm. It overdrawn his vitality and lifespan, and the Gu worm was still a half-finished product that looked different from the others. In this case, even if Gong Xiqiu is not the high priest, he can still indirectly destroy Shaochong by influencing the Gu insects.

Gu Ren drank Shaochong lightly: "Thirteen, don't be rude!"

Shaochong calmed down and did not dare to disobey Gu Ren.

Gong Xiqiu stepped forward, walked around Shao Chong in front of everyone's attention, walked to the latter's back, reached out like thunder, grabbed Shao Chong's collar and tore open his shirt, exposing half of his back unexpectedly. Shaochong jumped up and retreated, saying: Why did you destroy my clothes? "

"Watch your back."

Shao Chong said with a cold face: "They are all men, what's so good about them?"

After he finished speaking, Gong Xiqiu looked at him with undisguised contempt: "You are lucky, you have temporarily saved your life." Only then did everyone see that Shaochong's back had lines that looked like totems at some point. , clearly visible in the sunlight.

The texture is divided into two colors: brown, black and green.

Brown and black are the patterns of ferocious insects, and green are like trees and vines forming a circle.

The latter envelopes the former.

Gu Ren was surprised: "This is?"

Xu was in a good mood, and Gong Xiqiu was willing to say a few more words.

"The unique sealed word spirit of the high priest of the Gongxi clan is specially used to suppress the secret art of Gu. Every newborn of our clan, regardless of male or female, must plant a companion Gu on the day of the full moon. This Gu is closely related to the host. We live and die together. The ones of ordinary quality can only speed up the healing of injuries, assist in cultivation, and keep the host healthy. The ones of good quality, as long as the host does not suffer fatal injuries such as decapitation, have a certain chance of surviving... However, there are advantages Disadvantages. The more overbearing the effect of the Gu, the easier it is to get out of control. Under normal circumstances, the seal must be given by the high priest. As the host's age and strength increases, the seal will be gradually unsealed." The quality of the Gu in his body is the highest, and it is the only one since it was recorded in the family annals. Seven appeared.

Why can Gong Xiqiu get one?

According to Jimo Can—

[Your brother is stupid and he’s trying to make it up to you. 】

Gu Ren's eyes lit up: "Is this the seal?"

Gong Xiqiu nodded: "Yes."

This seal is enough to prove one point——

The high priest of the Gongxi tribe appears!

His good nephew is the high priest of this generation!

"...according to General Gongxi's words, the seal will gradually be unsealed as he grows older. In other words, is Thirteen safe now? Will there be no danger on the next full moon night?" Gu Ren held his breath nervously. Breathe and wait for Gong Xiqiu's answer.

"Yes!" Gong Xiqiu changed the subject, "However, the Gu worms on his body are not pure, they are just products of the four different species, and the sealing effect may not be that good. If he wants to save his life, he must improve his strength even higher before the seal disintegrates. , or find the high priest and apply another layer. Stabilize your emotions and try not to stimulate the Gu insects to wake up, which will speed up the disintegration of the seal."

After hearing this, Gu Ren clasped his fists gratefully.

Sincerely: "Thank you!"

Gong Xiqiu didn't care about their thanks, he just wanted to know——

"The person who left the seal, where did he go?"

Gu Ren smiled bitterly: "To be honest, we don't know either. I heard that he had a way to save Thirteen, so we immediately closed the city for several days just to find him. After so many days, there is no news."

Gong Xiqiu frowned, obviously dissatisfied with this answer.

"You don't even know where he went?"

"Sorry, I don't know."

"Then what do you know?"

Gong Xiqiu looked at them as if they were a pile of rubbish. He answered everything, but the other party just replied "I don't know"?

Chao Lian and Shao Chong knew the most.

But Shaochong's expressive ability is far inferior to the former.

He then told all the details of what happened that day, hoping to help Gong Xichou. It was a matter of eldest brother and nephew. Gong Xiqiu listened very carefully and refused to miss a word.

"That's it?"

Chao Lian said: "That's all."

Gong Xiqiu suppressed his dissatisfaction, and Gu Ren was very eye-catching: "If that young man appears again, we will definitely inform General Gong Xi." He also politely asked Gong Xiqiu to stay for a few days, so that he could fulfill his friendship as a landlord, but People refused to give face.

He has important matters to attend to.

Who wants to waste time with Gu Renxu and Weishe?

Seeing that he couldn't keep her, Gu Ren took the initiative to offer some money as a thank you gift, just to form a good relationship. Gong Xiqiu accepted it unceremoniously. As quickly as he came, he left just as quickly. However, instead of looking for his eldest brother and nephew, he went directly to Yiru.

Find someone, Zhang He.

He is the only person in Gongxi Qiu Zhizhi who has seen the appearance of the "sacred object". If the "sacred object" Zhang He has seen is exactly the same as Mama's when she was young, then the sacred object = Mama will be more reliable. Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful about what happened back then.

Shen Tang had disguised his appearance when he went to meet Zhang He. If he had not disguised himself, he might have been able to find out the truth earlier.

After the matter was settled, he would go find his eldest brother and his good nephew.

With Bentou, Gong Xiqiu felt that his life was fulfilling.

Within two days, Qiu Cheng's body was also returned to the Qiu family.

As soon as the Qiu clan leader, Qiu Cheng's brother, received the news, his mind went blank, his expression seemed to be crying but not crying, and he kept muttering: "I never had the idea of ​​forcing him to death. Why would he do this? Bai Jiao Will I be poked in the back by everyone in the world?"

His wife also had a serious look on her face.

The resentment towards Qiu Cheng in his heart deepened.

For the sake of blood and family ties, the couple were willing to repay kindness with kindness. Who knew that Qiu Wenyan, who judged the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart, played a role of killing himself with a sword.

Isn't this putting the couple on the fire?

She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm really ignorant..."

Qiu Dalang frowned: "...that's all."

"What's that? You were framed for nothing! If I had known he would repay kindness with vengeance, I would never have approved of you selling your private treasury to redeem him... Not only did you redeem a corpse, but you also had a brother who was forced to death." Can you swallow your notoriety?"

Qiu Dalang patiently comforted his furious wife.

He said softly: "It's hard to swallow, that's all. Let's think on the bright side, we still have something to breathe..."

The patriarch’s wife was still furious.

When he thought about having to face his widowed sister-in-law, his expression looked as if he had swallowed millions of flies. If she hadn't had a good temper, she would have really wanted to ask someone to throw Qiu Wenyan's coffin out. Since they are considered villains, why bother using their corpses to disgust others?

No matter how wronged the couple was, they still had to hold their noses and brace themselves to deal with Qiu Cheng's posthumous affairs.

Mrs. Qiucheng and her children cried so hard in front of the newly-decorated mourning hall that they fainted for a time. In the eyes of the guests who came to express their condolences, there was something else. The patriarch and his wife stood aside to entertain the guests, looking awkward and embarrassed.

But he couldn't walk, he could only stand in place like a log.

The guests looked at them like needles.

Everyone thought that this was Qiu Dalang's plan to kill someone with a knife, and they were secretly shocked by his cruelty. They also lamented that the brothers from the aristocratic family had no true feelings and actually went so far as to fight to the death. Due to this commotion, except for close friends, others gradually distanced themselves from Qiu.

The wives of other noble clans regarded the patriarch's wife as a snake and a scorpion.

And the culprit behind all this?

The social animal has entered 007 from 996.

Because there is a war plan for the coming year, Shen Tang and her team have no time to spare. Household registration, land, population... which one is not a big project? I wish I could use the twelve o'clock as the twenty-four o'clock. Not to mention the young people, even Dr. Dong, a very old doctor, led a group of disciples and came all night long.

"Shen Jun wants to conduct a national physical examination in Sibao County?" Dr. Dong is one of the few people who knows the real purpose behind the physical examination. After the first experience, he will be familiar with it the second time.

"Um."

Dr. Dong did not agree. They are too short of manpower. They have to prepare for war and rebuild. The "physical examination" can be postponed for a while. Anyway, the situation in Sibao County has stabilized. It is winter again, and the people's mobility is not much.

The people on the left and right can't run away, so there's no harm in waiting.

"We can't wait." Shen Tang's voice was gentle but with a firmness that could not tolerate objections, "On this matter of Miao Shu, do as little as possible."

Shen Tang had never thought that all female literary scholars/bold warriors would be loyal to her. This was unrealistic. Who you are loyal to and what path you pursue are personal choices. She hoped that even if one of them became a rival in the future, they would be able to gain the most basic respect, rather than becoming someone's pet peeve or a dispensable plaything.

They are pearls and deserve to shine brightly.

When gathered it is a ball of fire, when scattered it is a sky full of stars.

Dr. Dong could only agree after hearing this.

but--

"Shen Jun, that manpower..."

Shen Tang threw Luan Xin over.

After all, he is Qiu Cheng's number one counselor, the all-powerful one.

Luan Xin wondered: "But over there with cotton..."

Shen Tang: "There's Ling De watching over there."

Even if Sibao County is short of water, it will still have the water needed to grow a few acres of cotton, so there is no need for Luan Xin to use artificial rainfall for the time being. In other words, Luan Xin could take care of the government affairs of Hucao's office and also do the work of Dr. Dong.

Looking at his lord who was taking it for granted, Luan Xin suppressed his emotions and said tactfully: "The affairs are trivial, I'm afraid I can't take care of them all." Has the lord ever calculated his workload? ? ?

Shen Tang painted the cake: "Yiyi, I believe you can do it!"

Luan Xin: "???"

If it weren't for good self-control, I would really want to ask, "It's okay!"

_(:з　∠)_

As long as they are under Tang Mei's hands, no literary scholar can escape the oppression...

After all, literate scholars who can do their jobs are good officials.
