Back Off, Let Me Come

Gong Xiqiu didn't know Su Shiyilu.

I just think this person's name is weird.

He took a bite of the pie and said, "What's this guy called Sulu? Is he also under Mama's tent? No one in my memory has the last name Su Shi, right?"

Shen Tang said: "My name is not Sulu, but Su Shiyilu, and this is a first name, not a surname. He is a military commander from the original Shiwu, an old guy with a bad temper, swearing and dirty. Of course, this is what he said. Let’s talk in private…”

As the head of the country, she cannot show too obvious preferences.

What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom.

If the superiors do evil, the inferiors will follow suit.

Wuzhou is a relatively sensitive existence in Kang State. Policies involving Wuzhou must be treated with caution, especially when dealing with civil and military personnel from Wuzhou. Otherwise, if one of them is not good, it will be counterproductive and stimulate the unity of Wuzhou. Then it will be Shen Tang's turn to have a headache.

Gong Xiqiu nodded seriously and tapped his lips with his finger: "Understood!"

He has the strictest mouth.

A piece of meat pie is just a few mouthfuls for an adult man. Gong Xiqiu looked at his empty hands and took a few steps back: "Madam boss, all the meat pie in your shop is gone."

Shen Tang waited there for a while and watched Gong Xiqiu running briskly with a bag full of meat patties: "I have known you for so many years and this is the first time that I know you are so good at eating. You are always busy with your mouth. I am really worried about you." One day, I ran away from home with a body full of muscles. I was so fat that I couldn't even put on my armor, and my body was wasted."

She thought about how Gong Xiqiu had gained weight and had three layers of fat on his chin, and she almost gave up coveting Gong Xiqiu's body.

Gong Xiqiu said: "I have never been fat in my life."

He has been handsome since childhood.

and--

He said amusedly: "Mama still wants my body?"

Martial armor is the armor transformed by martial energy that best fits the user's body. Whatever the user looks like, the armor will have the same specifications. There is no possibility of gaining weight and not being able to wear it. Gong Xiqiu always knew that Shen Tang liked his body, because she herself was not so tall and burly, nor could she have such a perfect physique. Gong Xiqiu is different from her. What he likes most is Mama’s head.

Ever since he knew that she was a sacred object worshiped by the clan, Gong Xiqiu knew that he would never have the chance to collect her head in his life.

Shen Tang looked him up and down: "I don't want to get fat."

Gong Xiqiu looked at the meat pie he bought in embarrassment.

Hesitate for a second and continue to show off.

Tuocheng, as the location for mutual trade between Kang State and Bei Mo, has developed and prospered in recent years with the support of the policies of the two countries. Even though the situation between the two places is tense, troops are stationed on the border, and a war is imminent, some of the former glory can still be seen in Tuocheng. It was still early today, and there were only a few shops open in the city. Gong Xiqiu visited them all.

Shen Tang was keenly aware that his appetite had increased recently.

"Are you eating too much these days?"

Gong Xiqiu is not a person who pays attention to food and drink.

For him, playing marbles is more enjoyable than eating meatloaf.

In addition to his appetite, Gong Xiqiu has been appearing frequently everywhere Shen Tang can see. In the past, Gong Xiqiu would only think of her when he was short of playmates or looking for someone to fight with.

If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing!

After hearing Shen Tang's quarrel, Gong Xiqiu couldn't help but spit at her: "Oh, it's not because eldest brother asked for it."

"Jimo High Priest?"

Shen Tang also hasn't seen anyone for a few days. Specifically, Jimo Qiu was never seen again after the night attack by Wen Da.

She decided to take advantage of the unstable foothold in the Northern Desert and take the initiative to attack.

If Jimo Qiu can join, it will be even more powerful.

Gong Xiqiu showed off another piece of meat pie in a few words: "Yes, he knew that Mama was a sacred object in the clan, so his behavior became very abnormal. He said he was going back to get something... Let me protect him during this period. You also fed me Gu worms..."

"Go back? Go back to the Gongxi clan?"

Gong Xiqiu shook his head and said, "It's the land of the old clan."

The clan area in Minfeng County is a new clan area that was relocated after the Wu Gu disaster. Before that, the clan members lived in a more secluded place, truly isolated from the world. Gong Xiqiu knew that there was such a place, but he had never been back until he was so old.

"Oh, what's the matter with him feeding you Gu insects?" Shen Tang believed that it was unreasonable for him to harm his only relative and clan member, but he knew people and faces, but he didn't know his heart. He had a closer relationship with Gong Xiqiu, and he didn't treat Jimo Qiu as a human being. The act of feeding Gu worms will naturally lead to vigilance.

Gong Xiqiu said: "Eldest brother said that pulling out seedlings will help them grow."

Shen Tang: "Are you still considered a 'miao' at your age?"

The speechless expression on her face was full of disgust.

Gong Xiqiu curled his lips unconvinced: "What do you mean by 'this age'? Don't talk about my current age, even if I add another hundred or two hundred years, I am still a younger brother in front of my elder brother! Since he is a younger brother , how come you are not a 'miao' in front of your brother?"

Even Mama can't use his age as an excuse.

Shen Tang: "..."

After Gong Xiqiu said this, Jianmei Xingmu became even more proud: "Eldest brother said that he specially refined this Gu insect for me because he was afraid that I would be killed by Gong Cheng and the other two while he was away..."

Shen Tang couldn't bear to look at it and turned away, not looking at Gong Xiqiu's stupid look of "you have a brother who can do everything": "What is the specific effect?"

Gong Xiqiu: "I told you, it's about improving your cultivation level."

He suddenly thought of Gong Cheng's situation.

"It's similar to the [Enlightenment] that Gong Yunchi received."

It's just not as overbearing as [Daihu Enlightenment].

Jimo Qiu did not hide anything from Gong Xiqiu;

As for Shen Tang, Gong Xiqiu didn't hide anything.

"My eldest brother had a unique adventure before and received all the 'legacy' of a 20th grade Chehou. My eldest brother gave part of the 'legacy' to me through the Gu worm. I want to fully use this 'legacy' , you need some external assistance.”

Although food provides limited energy and the conversion efficiency is low, it is better than nothing. That's why Gong Xiqiu has a big appetite.

Shen Tang paused: "Are you going to break through?"

"It's not that easy."

If he was given a year and a half, what chance would there be? If he had to fight now, how could he have the chance to focus on cultivation and breakthrough? The main purpose of Jimo Qiu giving him this "legacy" Gu was to give him an explosive trump card at critical moments to save his life.

"When will the high priest of Jimo return?"

Gong Xiqiu: "The shortest time is one or two days, the long time is three to five days."

As they talked, the two came to a mansion in the center of Camel City.

This place was originally a paradise built by Bei Mo Xungui with huge sums of money. It has a very ordinary layout, but the only unusual thing is the backyard.

On the left side of the backyard are placed a group of concubines and beauties, and on the right side of the backyard are placed a group of handsome men with all hair colors and eye colors. It is said that the nobles specially sent people to carefully select them from all the tribes in the Northern Desert.

The Kang State and Bei Mo were at odds. The Kang State soldiers and horses in Tuocheng took the lead in attacking the main city. They captured a large number of hostages and confiscated their property. The whole family was imprisoned. These people are currently being entertained with good food and drinks, and they will be dragged out when they are useful.

As for where to use it?

Of course it’s the flag sacrifice!

It wasn't Shen Tang's first time here, but every time he came he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, this is called enjoyment, lying drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman, waking up to the sky... ah no, Tuo Chengquan. And I am just a broken worker. Yes. The residence is not as luxurious as the house of the nouveau riche."

She cursed the rich man fiercely in her heart.

Of course, these Northern Desert nobles are not without their contributions.

They had a lot of property confiscated from their homes. Shen Tang rewarded some of them and kept the rest in his private treasury. Of course, it was not her turn to enjoy these wealth, they were all prepared for Xun Zhen. She didn't know how much debt she would owe during the battle in the Northern Desert.

Now I can hug you a little more.

To a certain extent, part of this is her money - the merchant surnamed Chen was doing business in Tuocheng and fed these people a lot. Now, the money just goes around in circles and returns to Shen Tang's pocket, and it is reasonable for her to take it.

Gong Xiqiu said: "If Mama is short of money..."

He stopped suddenly.

Because he remembered that after the genocide was exterminated, he gave Gong Xi Lai all the ancestral property he had collected and his savings over the years. His current situation was just that he had enough to eat and drink, but he really didn't have much money. Gong Xiqiu immediately changed his mind: "I'll ask my eldest brother to send you money."

"Your eldest brother's money? Isn't it appropriate?"

Gong Xiqiu explained: "It cannot be said that it is the eldest brother's money. It should be said that it is the money that the eldest brother is responsible for keeping. I remember the old high priest said that when the clan left, most of the things in the old clan were not touched. But there are some things in the old clan. Special protection, currently only the high priest can go back and open it. Mama is a sacred object, and the things in the clan are yours. The Gongxi clan, including Xun Ding, is only a family of four, so you have to use up all their savings. It doesn’t matter…”

From what Gong Xiqiu said, that was probably a lot of money.

Shen Tang couldn't help but ask the question that he had been wondering about for many years.

"Where did the Gongxi clan get so much money?"

"My ancestors were rich. Our ancestors did not always live in seclusion. Before they lived in seclusion, the Gongxi clan was also very famous in the secular world. It was a powerful family that lasted for hundreds of years."

Shen Tang: "...A wealthy family? How wealthy are you?"

Gong Xiqiu recalled the ancestral documents he had read when he was young and said: "Mama rode a war horse and set off from the ancestral home. She galloped in any direction and could not leave the clan field for two or three hours."

Shen Tang: "..."

Good guy, a real aristocratic family is actually by her side!

She now remembered that Gong Xiqiu had said that the Gongxi clan had committed serious crimes, and that the whole family met their benefactor on the way to exile and was rescued by him, so they decided to live in seclusion. Before living in seclusion, it was possible to have a big family and a big business. But, this is too big.

Looking at the level that Gong Xiqiu said, not even a single family can reach it in the mainland today. It's no wonder that a large family has lived in seclusion for so many years, and their lives are still nourishing. Gong Xiqiu even plays pearls like marbles every day, so that his ancestors can be rich.

Fortunately, the Gongxi clan has long since lived in seclusion.

If it were still a wealthy family now, she would definitely not let him go.

Shen Tang was very curious: "I don't remember any of the large families you mentioned with the surname 'Gongxi'."

Gong Xiqiu said: "Of course it's because he changed his surname."

His mind was stuck for a while.

The ancestral surname is so unfamiliar to him that he cannot remember it without thinking about it deliberately: "However, the family records have been burned and repaired several times, and the original surname of the ancestor is not certain, so it is not important."

Shen Tang: "..."

When the ancestors heard this, they were probably so angry that they sat up in the coffin.

Shen Tang's heart moved: "Can I really use the ancestral property?"

How can people give up money just to save face?

Gong Xiqiu looked at Shen Tang, who was almost touching her face, and tilted his head back to avoid it. Her smile was too scary: "I have no objection. Big brother will also follow the teachings of our ancestors. But to what extent, I don't know. I don’t know, don’t be disappointed if Mama is missing.”

Shen Tang smiled, hooked his shoulder and patted his chest.

The armor was slapped by her: "It is light on etiquette but heavy on affection. With the friendship between you and me, how can I dislike the lack of money? This is simply rain from heaven! Victory in this battle will never happen as long as Kang Guo is still alive." I will treat your family badly. I promise!"

Gong Xiqiu rubbed his chest that was numb from the shock.

He muttered: "None of this matters, as long as you promise to give your body to me after you die and let me bury you back to your clan."

Shen Tang teased him: "I'm afraid it won't be possible to negotiate with the officials."

The remains of the king are buried in the royal tomb.

Gong Xiqiu said disdainfully: "Do I need to discuss it with them?"

Shen Tang: "...You turned around and dug up my royal tomb?"

This is indeed something Gong Xiqiu can do.

Gongxi Qiu Li said confidently: "Mama is a sacred object worshiped by the clan. After death, she will naturally return to the clan. What is the royal tomb? Can you sleep comfortably in a coffin like the clan's?"

As he spoke, he became anxious.

Shen Tang: "..."

She decided to change the subject.

Every time the topic came up, Gong Xiqiu always looked like he wanted to push her back into the coffin and bury her alive, completely ignoring their many years of friendship. The former's ancestral brain circuit really made him anxious, and he might not be able to wait until his death.

Shen Tang thought about the windfall and pretended to cough: "Is the old clan far away? Do you want someone to help the Jimo High Priest?"

Gong Xiqiu said: "It's something that ordinary people can't find."

Shen Tang was aroused and curious: "Where is it?"

Most people can't find her, but she is the head of a country.

As long as she is still in Kang State, there is no place she cannot go.

Gong Xiqiu tried his best to recall: "It seems to be called what kind of sea... ends of the earth and ends of the earth? Capes and ends of the earth? Sea and mountains or mountains and seas?"

Shen Tang sighed: "My ancestors knew that you didn't even remember the name of your clan, so why didn't you raise the coffin overnight and beat you for being an unworthy descendant? Forget it, let's talk about this later, it's important now."

Gong Xiqiu followed Shen Tang and continued to mutter.

"What does it seem to be called Taoyuan?"

Shen Tang said: "I still have the Garden of Eden."

Didn't Gongxi Qiu say before that the ancestors of the Gongxi clan lived in the "Garden of Eden" more than a thousand years ago and were lucky enough to survive the disaster of annihilation? Shen Tang's casual ridicule frustrated Gong Xiqiu, and he was embarrassed and respected: "It's strange that the clan chronicles are written in a sloppy and boring way."

Is it his responsibility that he can't remember?

"The Garden of Eden and the land of the old tribe are two different places."

"Mama, give me time, I will definitely remember it."

"If that doesn't work, when Bei Mo is defeated, let me take you back to see it. Listen to me, why not see it with your own eyes?"

Shen Tang didn't look back and replied casually: "Then, you brothers joined forces to press me into the coffin and bury me alive?"

Not only must we guard against Gong Xiqiu, we must also guard against Jimo Qiu.

With that said, the two of them arrived at the temporary operations hall.

Shen Tang opened the door.

Twenty or thirty pairs of eyes in the room looked at each other.

All the ferocious eyes fell on Gong Xiqiu.

They only heard that Gong Xiqiu wanted to bury the Lord alive!

Shen Tang cleared his throat and smoothed over the awkward situation: "Hehehe, don't worry, gentlemen, it's all just a joke. Is there any news from the other side? Have you figured out the strength of the troops in the Northern Desert?"

Shen Tang and others decided to take the initiative. Naturally, they could not wait for the enemy to come over at Yaoriguan. The main force used Tuocheng as their base. Gong Shuwu asked himself to be the vanguard, and Shen Tang agreed.
