Back Off, Let Me Come

"Gong Xichou? It's him again!"

Zhang He did not expect that Gong Xiqiu would appear at this time.

"Isn't he following Kang Jishou?"

At this moment, he was helping Chu Wuhui lure them away. Could it be that...

For a time, countless clues were connected into a line in my mind, and the key to this was Shen Tang and Shen Youli.

The general also guessed: "It must be Gong Xiqiu, a barbarian who has taken refuge in Shen Youli and was driven by him to ruin our good deeds."

Zhang He took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in his heart.

The left and right confidants watched Zhang He close his eyes and ponder. After a long time, they carefully stepped forward to test their lord's tone: "My lord, what should we do next? That national seal is now protected by Gong Xiqiu, I'm afraid it will be bad. Got it..."

Simply put, the price/performance ratio is too low.

If Chu Yao had not had the national seal in his hand and was escorting the coveted food and baggage, Zhang Yongqing would not have taken the risk of offending Shen Tang and attacked Chu Yao's troops. At this stage, he was locked in a fight with Shen Tang, losing his own troops and generals, and pretending to be a wedding dress for others.

Whether it is turning around to chase Chu Yao to rob the grain, or fighting against Gongxi to seize the national seal, the risks taken are greater than the benefits.

Zhang He stared unwillingly in the direction of Gong Xiqiu, as if a fierce anger was brewing in his chest with nowhere to vent.

His luck is really not that good.

After a lot of effort was spent to kill Qian Yong to a desperate situation, the national seal disappeared inexplicably, and Qian Yong and his remaining troops were neither alive nor dead. On the way, I felt a little relieved after annexing two small forces, and happened to encounter a fat sheep loaded with food.

He sharpened his sword a lot, but in the end he killed Gong Xi.

This bit of luck is really on my back.

He said bitterly: "Withdraw!"

Although the brave warriors sent by Zhang He are good at concealment and tracking, Gong Xiqiu has the characteristics of a python, and he can search, track, and lurk easily, and has a keen sense of smell. Although you can't see with your eyes, you can feel the subtle temperature changes in the surrounding environment.

That courageous warrior could restrain his breath, hide his odor, and be as light as a swallow, but he could not change his own body temperature.

Gong Xiqiu knew at a glance that this was an outpost sent by Zhang He.

He simply crossed his legs, sat down on the stone surface warmed by the rare sunny day, propped up his cheek with one hand, and waited for Zhang He's troops to attack. Zhang He has more than ten thousand troops. If he is alone without support, he will definitely not be able to defeat him, but he can escape!

Gong Xiqiu wanted to see Zhang He coming with murderous intent, but in the end he could only stare at him as he escaped far away and could not catch up!

The thought of Zhang He being so angry made him want to laugh.

The results of it?

He waited and waited, waiting until the sky turned dark, waiting for the drizzle to start falling again, and waiting until the warm stone surface under his buttocks became cold again, but he did not wait for Zhang to congratulate the soldiers and horses. Judging from the perception of the national seal, the other party rested in place for a long time, then got up and left.

Gong Xiqiu's mouth was curled up to the back of his ears.

"Tsk! You are so cowardly as a mouse!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang He simply didn't dare to come.

He stood up, patted his skirt and armor, and flew towards Liguan. I had not agreed with Chu Yao on where to meet, but I hoped to meet him on the road. Gong Xiqiu was very lucky. He encountered Shen Tang's soldiers and horses on the way and was almost besieged as an enemy.

Chu Yao was safe and sound, and Shen Tang was fine to the naked eye.

"Here, it's for you!" As soon as he landed, Gong Xiqiu raised his hand and took off the sword box on his back, throwing it towards Shen Tang casually.

Shen Tang caught the object with one hand, but did not rush to absorb the national seal. Instead, he put the sword box on the ground, patted it, and motioned Gong Xiqiu to sit down and chat. Gong Xiqiu didn't show any concern at all, and even ordered the quail-like young scribe next to him.

Luan Cheng pointed at himself: "Me?"

Gong Xiqiu said: "Otherwise? I have no eyesight."

Luan Cheng murmured in a low voice and handed out the pancake he was baking: "You are such a rude warrior!"

Gong Xiqiu didn't find it too hot. He finished a piece of cake in two or three mouthfuls.

Shen Tang asked him: "The matter was urgent before, and I didn't have time to ask you what happened to your eyes? Who poked them blind?"

Gong Xiqiu hummed and said, "Mama, there are only a few people in this world who can blind me, and I am one of them."

Shen Tang: "???"

Gong Xiqiu said: "This matter is a long story... Didn't I ask Zhang He to find out clearly before? This old guy is sinister, vicious and cunning. Somehow he saw that I was in the critical period of breakthrough and used tricks to make me The evil thoughts broke out out of control, and Wu Dan Tutang came out to cause trouble, and his eyes were accidentally stained with venom... and then it became what Mama saw..."

"Is there anything else about Zhang Yongqing here?"

Gong Xiqiu said: "I am a hidden danger to him."

In fact, Gong Xiqiu had no ill intentions towards Zhang He.

The genocide of the Gongxi clan was led by the Gengguo royal family. Under the promotion of his father Jimo Can, the brothers started fighting and fell apart. With Zheng Qiao's assistance, the Gengguo Kingdom was destroyed. Zhang Hehui was involved only because he was an imperial doctor and was ordered by the king to study the evil plague of Wu Kingdom. In Mama's words, why bother a migrant worker who is not even an accomplice?

However, Zhang He didn't think so.

Gong Xiqiu acted arbitrarily and repeatedly, which made him feel dangerous.

Rather than passively waiting for Gong Xiqiu's knife to fall at some point, it would be better to break him early and completely destroy him.

Killing Gong Xiqiu head-on is not easy.

If there is a sneak attack, Gongxi Qiu will be able to escape if the situation is not good.

He never expected that God would send him such a wonderful opportunity. If Zhang He didn't seize it, he would be the one with the sword hanging from his neck in the future. By some mistake, Zhang He took action.

Shen Tang nodded: "Can your eyes recover?"

Gong Xiqiu said: "Yes, I have to thank the doctor under Mama's tent for that. When I was carried back, that person helped me draw out most of the poison, but the remaining poison was too stubborn to be removed for a while. , it will take some time to grow.”

"The doctor under my account?"

Gong Xiqiu said: "An old doctor named Dong."

Speaking of which, his luck was not bad at all.

After Gong Xiqiu got rid of his evil thoughts, the Martial Totem self-destructed and sent him flying. His life was hanging by a thread. He lay in tatters at the bottom of a dark cliff for two days. Toxins were flowing around, and the martial energy in his meridians was rioting, and his last breath was tormented. He only had half a breath left to maintain his heart.

Just when he was unconscious and could "see" Jimo Can before his eyes, the strange body temperature carefully wiped away the stains on his face.

The man asked gently and gently: "Are you Gong Xilangjun?" 】

There was a bit of hesitation, surprise and joy in his voice.

Gong Xiqiu is so seriously injured, where can he answer?

He used his last strength and moved his eyelids.

Not long after, he was picked up by someone, followed by the feeling of strong wind rushing across his face, and he could vaguely smell a strange aroma. He was curious about who this person was, but in the end he couldn't find out because the person jumped directly from the mountain to the bottom.

The strong feeling of weightlessness knocked him unconscious.

When he regained consciousness again, he was in a room filled with the scent of herbs. Someone was cleaning him, treating his wounds, and wrapping them in plenty of cloths. The old doctor surnamed Dong told him that he was currently at Xiaocheng Medical Center.

It's safe here and he can rest in peace.

After the cracks in Gongxi Qiu Dan Mansion gradually healed, the energy of heaven and earth was tempered to repair the meridians, and the injury accelerated. Within half a month, I could walk on crutches, and the next day I could fight with the sick children in the hospital playing generals with crutches... …

The old doctor named Dong was amazed.

[The physique of a brave warrior is really enviable. I have checked it for you. Although the toxins in your body are troublesome, what is even more troublesome is that your spine is dislocated and broken behind you. Even if ordinary people can survive, they will be unable to move for the rest of their lives...]

The mildest case is a high paraplegia.

Gong Xiqiu didn't care much about these.

[Old sir, who is the person who saved me? 】

The benefactor would come over every day, sometimes delivering medicine, and sometimes asking about her recovery. Judging from her voice, this person should be a very young woman. Gong Xiqiu knows how to repay kindness. The other party saved his life, and he must repay the other party's life!

Dr. Dong: [Lin Hu Cao. 】

Before it got dark, Linhu Cao arrived.

Gong Xiqiu suddenly lost his sight. Even though he had acquired some of the characteristics of the valiant totem, he could only "see" a humanoid red mass, which made him very uncomfortable. He cupped his fists at the red human figure and said, [I’d like to thank my benefactor for saving my life. 】

Linhu Cao said: [My benefactor need not say that. 】

Gong Xiqiu: [? ? ? 】

Linhu Cao said: [My name is Lin Feng, and my courtesy name is Lingde. I once received life-saving grace from a benefactor. Without you, I wouldn't be alive today. 】

Gong Xiqiu's mind was a little stuck.

He vaguely felt that the name Lin Feng sounded familiar.

Lin Hu Cao poured him a glass of water and said with a smile: "Lin Hu Cao has been busy with cotton planting recently. I really can't get away. I have delayed coming to see my benefactor until now. Please forgive me." 】

Some things are quite fateful.

Lin Feng visited the graves of her relatives that day, and also went to help her senior brother Tu Rong sweep the graves. When she was about to leave, she noticed a strange smell in the direction of the cliff, so she went over to take a look. Lin Feng was trapped at the bottom of a cliff for several days and was rescued by Gong Xiqiu.

Time has changed and the situation of the two has been reversed.

Lin Feng picked him up and returned his life-saving grace.

As Lin Feng narrated, Gong Xiqiu reluctantly found scattered memory fragments in the corner of his mind, vaguely remembering that it was a small bean sprout like a bamboo pole. After not seeing each other for several years, he was actually able to carry him directly to jump off the mountain and rush on his way. Gong Xiqiu drank water to suppress the twitching at the corner of his mouth.

but--

Gongxi Qiu Cheng said: [It’s not even. 】

Lin Feng was surprised: [What? 】

Gong Xiqiu honestly said: "I still owe you my life." 】

Previously, he was captured by Mama as a fighting general in Xiaocheng. The fact that he was released free in the end was worth the life-saving grace he had given to Lin Feng and Tu Rong. In other words, Gong Xiqiu still owed Lin Feng his life.

[Does Ms. Lin have any enemies? 】

Even if the enemy has nine heads, he can chop them off.

Buy one get eight free! No increase in price for extra volume!

Lin Feng shook his head, realizing that he couldn't see, and said again: "I have no enemies, and even if I did, the sword on my waist is not a decoration." It's almost time, I made an appointment with my colleagues, and I still have important things to deal with, so I won't disturb my benefactor's rest. 】

Gong Xiqiu recovered under the careful care of Dr. Dong.

The sixteenth grade of the great body is built to last.

After recovering, he searched non-stop for the holy objects. After Gong Xiqiu finished chewing the pancake, he took a sip of warm water and said, "Mama already knows what happened next. To be honest, it's a blessing in disguise. If I fight you again today, I will definitely win..."

Shen Tang listened to his story nonchalantly, but after thinking about the thrilling scenes at that time, he knew that Gong Xiqiu's life was really between life and death. Just as he was about to sympathize, his words poured cold water on him: "Beat me? Are you so confident?"

Gong Xiqiu grinned proudly: "I have the ambition to be a warrior."

The implication is that even if Shen Tang has broken through to the sixteenth level, there is still a difference between the two as a warrior.

Yes and no, those are two concepts.

Shen Tang: "...I will have it too!"

Gong Xiqiu said seriously: "You won't have it!"

The necessary condition for obtaining the will of a warrior is to walk between life and death. As one of the last descendants of the Gongxi clan, Gongxi Qiu will not allow the most important sacred object of the clan to fall to this!

Shen Tang: "???"

Ever since Shen Tang led his troops to leave, Kang Shi and others had been worried. After a few days, it seemed that the situation had been reduced. It wasn't until the vanguard scouts sent back the good news that everyone was completely relieved.

Chu Yao also apologized to everyone. This incident can also be considered because of him. If it weren't for his limited abilities, he wouldn't have let the master go into danger alone, making all his colleagues worried about it.

Shen Tang directly held a banquet to celebrate.

Celebration banquet plus catching wind and washing away the dust.

Worth celebrating indeed.

This trip has yielded four national seals, four-fifths of Qianzhou's largest granary, and there has also been an increase in talent. It can be said to be a big winner.

Before the banquet, Lao Cui returned the national seal he had kept to Shen Tang and said with a smile: "The property returns to its original owner, and the complete jade returns to Zhao."

Shen Tang looked at his luggage and was slightly surprised.

"Mr. Cui, what is this?"

The scholar surnamed Cui blinked, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Previously Mr. Shen said that before the dust settled, Mr. Cui could not go south to avoid disaster. But now Mr. Shen is safe, and it is expected that Huang Liezhanghe and others will not be able to threaten him. In this case, Mr. Cui also It’s time to say goodbye.”

Shen Tang pursed his lips and said nothing.

After a while, he showed a smile and said: "We are destined to meet each other. Why don't you stay for a while, Mr. Cui? Mr. Cui is kind to me. If it weren't for Mr. Cui, carrying a national seal on his body, I don't know how many elite soldiers would be attracted along the way. The general is chasing him. Due to emotions and reasons, he should treat him solemnly to show his gratitude. Furthermore, Yan and Qian are in chaos and epidemics are rampant. Sir, if you go on the road alone, you don't know how much trouble you will encounter. It's better to wait a little longer. When the war between the two states stops, it won't be too late to leave."

Of course Shen Tang would not let this person go away easily.

He knows so many secrets!

Also, his abilities are interesting.

The ability to hide the national seal may have other wonderful uses?

Shen Tang grabbed his hand with a smile and said amiably: "To be honest, Shen and Mr. Shen felt very close to each other when they first met. They wanted to get close but couldn't. If Mr. doesn't give up, he is willing to help me and work together for a great cause. , one day I will repay you as a national warrior."

Lao Cui looked at Shen Tang's hands.

Shen Tang looked at Lao Cui's face.

He smiled and said, "How?"

Lao Cui sighed and pulled back his hand: "To be honest, Mr. Shen is afraid that he has misjudged the wrong person. Cui was originally under the command of Duke Wu of Tianhai. For many years, he was not reused by Duke Wu and was depressed. A mediocre person like me is , I am afraid that I will live up to Mr. Shen’s high expectations.”

Shen Tang seemed a little "surprised" when he heard this.

Then he said: "Hey, this... this... Ordinarily, Shen and Brother Zhaode are recognized by the world as having a deep love. Some words should not be spoken by Shen. However, it is really sad for Mr. to belittle oneself in such a way. I have to say it."

She is going to start stepping on Wu Xian, every step of the way!

Yesterday I stayed up until nine o'clock in the morning before going to bed. I stayed up all night until I was exhausted. Alas, high fever is both annoying for the baby and the mother. My body temperature went up and down, and it suddenly spiked to 39 at three in the morning, without any warning.

It's another tough battle tonight.
