stand back, let me come

Chapter 1253: Cutting off the Robe and Breaking the Ties [asking for a monthly ticket]

It is impossible to call for help.

Zhai Le didn't want to make too much noise and be criticized by the court officials.

He tensed the muscles in his cheeks, his whole body was like a bowstring stretched to the extreme, his peach blossom eyes were dark, with a majesty that he had not had when he was young. He tried to use his eyes to force Shen Tang to stand up, but Shen Tang's face was as thick as the corner of a city wall.

Not only did she refuse to get up, she even fanned herself with a memorial.

Finally, it was Zhai Le who couldn't hold back any longer. He clenched his fists and suppressed the urge to fight. He persuaded the other party with emotion and reason: "You are the king of Kangguo, and you should sit on the throne of Kangguo. This is Quguo, and you are sitting on the throne of Quguo now!"

After not seeing each other for several years, don't force him to use swear words and hit others!

Shen Tang said: "The throne lies in the spirit, not in the form. Without the glory, it is ultimately just a broken chair to sit on. I sit on this chair, does that mean I am the king of Qu? Xiaofang, Xiaofang, you are obsessed with appearances."

Zhai Le had been dealing with court officials for many years, and his tongue was well-trained. He could choke people to death when he opened his mouth: "Are you obsessed? I thought you just shaved your head to cool off, but I didn't expect you really wanted to become a monk."

Shen Zixu Tang: "..."

The arc of the fan in his hand became smaller and smaller until it became stiff.

She suddenly exploded with emotion and threw the memorial in her hand like a boomerang towards Zhai Le's face: "Zhai Xiaofang, are you calling me bald?"

He stepped onto the table and took a big leap.

Zhai Le had been on guard for this, but the speed of the "memorial boomerang" was too fast, and the distance between him and Shen Tang was too close, so he had to stiffen his body, nail his feet firmly to the ground, lean back and let the memorial pass by. Then he twisted his waist, flew to the side, and easily clamped the memorial that was about to return with two fingers.

He said, "Don't play with memorials."

Shen Tang clapped his hands and said, "Good waist!"

Zhai Le was so shocked that he almost sprained his ankle. He said angrily, "Save these obscene words for your male lover."

Shen Tang scratched his face. He didn't expect Zhai Le to react so strongly.

I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Perfect score for male morality!"

They used to be able to compete in handstands with a stone between their legs, and discuss together how to train the chest muscles to strengthen their friendship, but now even a compliment on a good waist can break their defenses. Shen Tang felt that things have changed, but he also admired the other party's excellent character as a man.

Zhai Le: "..."

No, he just felt that being teased was offensive to him as the king, so he got angry subconsciously. But when he calmed down and thought that it was her who said that, he felt it was normal. What was abnormal was that after so many years, she was still the same.

You grow older, taller, and lose hair, but you don’t grow mentally.

Zhai Le, who prides himself on being calm and reserved, doesn't bother with her.

He walked slowly towards the throne and prepared to sit down, but Shen Tang flashed back with a silky side step and sat down before him. Zhai Le looked at the throne, but he couldn't do the childish thing of sticking his butt out to push people away. He endured the bulging veins on his forehead and took a deep breath.

"Well, what are you doing here this time?"

"Is there nothing I can do to find you?"

Zhai Le threw the memorial back on the table and said, "Haha, Lord Shen has been active in the central region in recent years in his avatar form. This place is much closer to Qu State than Kang State is to Qu State. Have you come to visit during the holidays? You never visit me for no reason!"

  Not to mention a visit, there was no diplomatic exchange between the two countries. Shen Youli had no purpose this time, and Zhai Le's name was written backwards!

Being exposed in front of others did not embarrass Shen Tang.

The main point is that she is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

"The one who knows me best is Xiao Fang, and her guess is so accurate!"

Zhai Le: "... Is this a close friend?"

He looked at Shen Tang with his peach blossom eyes and waited for what was to come.

Before his patience ran out, Shen Tang suddenly dropped a bomb, like a flat-bottomed landmine exploding beside Zhai Le's ears, almost making his brain freeze. Shen Tang said, "If you and I were not close friends, why would I think of you every time something good happened? Zhai Xiaofang, are you interested in sharing this piece of fat meat in the central region with me?"

Zhai Le: "..."

He was silent for a long time, so long that Shen Tang thought he didn't hear clearly, then he suddenly asked, "Why do you bring this up suddenly?"

Many years ago, Zhai Le knew that Shen Tang did not play by the rules.

But I didn't expect that after so many years as the ruler, his temper not only didn't change, but it seemed to be "terminally ill".

When Zhai Le came in, he guessed dozens of reasons for her coming, none of which was to divide the Central Continent. He also didn't expect that something that could cause a bloody storm in the court could be said so lightly by her. Did she know what she was saying?

"I'm not mentally ill, don't look at me as if you're suggesting I go see a doctor. I'm serious this time!" As he said this, Shen Tang changed his casual attitude and sat up straight, "Zhai Xiaofang, you have to help me!"

Zhai Le seemed to have heard some huge joke.

The young man's affectionate peach blossom eyes were filled with coldness, and his words were merciless: "If the two countries have diplomatic relations, please ask Lord Shen to send an envoy to visit. If it is a personal request, you and I have some friendship, but these friendships are nothing in front of our country."

Zhai Xiaofang really couldn't do anything to Shen Youli. She could only watch the other person sitting on her throne and couldn't get angry because she couldn't beat him one-on-one. But the King of Qu State would never give in to King Shen. Zhai Le frowned and prepared to drive the guest away.

Shen Tang was not in a hurry: "Why not listen before drawing conclusions?"

Zhai Le raised his hand, indicating that he was all ears.

Staying at Zhai Le's home ground, Shen Tang still had no sense of being an away player, and said calmly: "I think it's better for you to agree. Take advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger, so that you can still fight me in the future. If you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand your territory... Xiao Fang, in the future, when the two countries face off, the gap in national strength is huge. No matter how unwilling you are, you can only offer your life!"

For so many years, no one dared to offend Zhai Le like this.

"My head?" Zhai Le's eyes darkened, and the long weapon burst out from his palm, the sharp blade pointing at Shen Tang, "This is Qu Country, is it because I am too easy to talk to that you are so reckless!"

Strong winds blew the hanging landscape painting curtains.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense.

The guards outside the palace noticed something unusual and wanted to go in, but were stopped in their tracks by Zhai Le's shout: "Get out! You are not allowed to enter without an imperial decree!"

These people didn't know when Shen Tang came in, and how long he had been reading the memorials. They would only cause trouble if they came in, so they might as well get out of here. Zhai Le's robe fluttered without wind, and the faint smell from it made Shen Tang understand a little: "Gong Xichou said that you can't stay, and that it would be a big problem if you stay. You didn't disappoint him. You can manage the country while practicing to this level. Brother, you are the real king of memorials! To be honest, it won't hurt you to seriously consider my advice."

Zhai Le laughed out of anger: "Shen! You! Li!"

His tone was colder than ever.

  With a turn of his wrist, the blade changed direction, as if he was going to cut off Shen Tang's robe in front of him, obviously intending to sever the ties of friendship!

Shen Tang spoke before he made his move.

"I'm packing up the southwest."

Zhai Le's movements stopped in mid-air.

He has been the ruler for many years, and he can guess the general situation with a little thought. Kangguo puts its energy into the southwest battlefield, and the central mainland does not want her to continue to expand and is ready to snipe her. Kangguo feels exhausted, so it comes to Quguo to be an ally. As long as Quguo holds back the central forces, no one can interfere with Kangguo anymore.

"So, you are asking for help from others?"

Zhai Le was so angry that he almost laughed.

This is the first time in my life that I have seen someone asking for help be so arrogant.

Shen Tang disagreed: "How can this be a request for help? The central forces' actions will only add a few stumbling blocks to my path and delay me for another year or two! They can't stop me!"

"Lord Shen is so confident, what does it matter now?" Shen Tang pointed at himself with his thumb: "I am awesome!"

Zhai Le: "..."

Shen Tang was on the verge of losing control and getting angry, testing him: "If you don't go down to contain the central forces, I can still annihilate them, but it will take too much time. By then, I will control the northwest, southwest and central regions, and you and the northeastern forces will definitely put aside your past grudges and cooperate in order to protect yourselves. And I have been fighting for many years, and my vitality has been greatly depleted. It is not easy to annex you all at once. For the sake of safety, I must rest and recuperate for a few years, stabilize society, and resume production..."

Zhai Le said indifferently: "You are so arrogant!"

He was determined to become the master of the world before he even made a decision.

  Does she think she is dead?

Zhai Le said: "Since you are so confident, I will wait here for the Kangguo cavalry to attack us. I will wait for many years!"

Shen Tang sneered, "Neither you nor I can wait any longer."

Zhai Le asked sharply, "What do you mean?"

If it was just saying that Zhai Le couldn't wait, it would be considered a provocation, but when Shen Tang added herself to the mix, the context changed completely.

Zhai Le observed Shen Tang suspiciously, as if he wanted to see a playful look on her face, but he only saw seriousness. Some guesses flashed through his mind: "Is there something wrong with your body?"

If that was the case, he would not bother with the dying person.

Shen Tang shook his head and said, "That's not it."

It was the first time she mentioned the "golden hoop" left by Yunda to outsiders, and Zhai Le's face was full of mixed emotions, which was very interesting.

"This is absurd and ridiculous. Even if the Yunda you are talking about is a twentieth-rank Chehou, so what? Let alone one twentieth-rank Chehou, even if a hundred of them come together, it is impossible to destroy the world. You overestimate him." Zhai Le shook his head, concluding that it was another tease.

Shen Tang said, "If you believe it, it will exist. If you don't believe it, you will die early."

Zhai Le: "..."

Shen Tang took a sip of the tea that had long gone cold: "If we must fight to decide the outcome, I hope my opponent will be you! Even if we are powerless in the end, at least we can watch the end of the world together."

At the end of the world, we should always spend it with those we like.

How can it not be romantic to have close friends and relatives who firmly follow you, and the enemy on the other side is also a childhood friend? Shen Tang put down the teacup and continued, "Of course, I don't expect you to help me when I say this. There is only an exchange of interests between countries. You will not suffer any loss if you share a piece of fat meat together. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. I dare to bet 60% of the continent on a life-and-death game!"

"If I win, I will be the master of the world."

"If you lose, we will die together!"

  If it really came to that, Shen Tang would not think that Zhai Le would voluntarily surrender for the sake of the so-called lives of the world. This idealized fairy tale ending would not appear in this collapsed world. After all, for the sake of the lives of the world, why did Zhai Le have to take a step back?

Couldn't Shen Tang be the great sage and take a step back?

Shen Tang will not retreat, and neither can she! She can either survive to reach the unified finale, or die in the underworld!

Zhai Le stared into Shen Tang's eyes.

These once passionate peach blossom eyes were now cold and sharp, as if they could see through the truth hidden under Shen Tang's false disguise.

After a long while, he said, "There is another possibility. I win!"

Unifying the world is not exclusive to her, Shen Youli, right?

"I will discuss this matter with others."

Zhai Le exhaled a breath and closed his eyes to think.

"Whether it is true or not, I will know it myself."

It’s impossible for whatever Shen Tang says to be true.

Shen Tang said: "I'll wait for your news."

After she left, Zhai Le immediately found Yu Hai and told him about Shen Tang's visit. Yu Hai was so shocked that he almost stood up. Seeing that Zhai Le was unharmed, he felt relieved: "If she dared to come here, the master should have found someone to take her down!"

Instead of having a chat with old friends after a long separation.

"Didn't Guilong know that she was just an incarnation?"

What’s the point of capturing an incarnation?

It's a thankless job.

Yu Hai said: "Even so, the Lord cannot tolerate it! If this matter gets out, how can the Lord establish his authority?"

It doesn't sound good when it is passed down to later generations, as if it is a head shorter.

Zhai Le waved his hands, indicating that he didn't care about these details. What the future generations said had nothing to do with him. "Gui Long, give me some advice. Do you think what Shen Youli said is true or false?"

Yu Hai said: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, and it doesn't matter whether we win or lose. What matters is that Shen Youli can really hold on under pressure from both sides. In the future, whether we take over the Northeast or join forces with the Northeast forces to fight against her... our situation will be passive."

When potential enemies show their cards, they must either catch up or surpass them. They cannot hesitate where they are, as this is a dead end.

Zhai Le made some assumptions in his mind.

"Given her temper, I'm afraid she won't rest and recuperate."

He would just take a gamble on his life or death.

Rest and recuperate?

While she was recuperating, would the enemy remain in place? It would be better to attack them all at once while their morale was high, and the chances of winning would be greater! If Zhai Le was her, she would do the same.

  Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!

Yu Hai looked at Zhai Le with a strange expression.

  Zhai Le didn't even seem to realize that he was subconsciously certain that Shen Tang could succeed, but who could say for sure about such things?

"Your Majesty's worries can only come true after Shen Youli successfully 'overcomes the tribulation'. If she fails, Kangguo will be eaten up by the two vultures in the southwest and the central part, and there will naturally be no trouble in the future." Yu Hai frowned, "I will send people to verify the truth of her talk of the destruction of the world. If it is true..."

"I will be her match!"

  He could also be the one destined to unify the world!

Yu Hai: "What if it's fake?"

Zhai Le lowered his head and looked at the cold peach blossom eyes reflected by the blade, with a hint of contempt and murderous intent on his lips: "If it is false, I will sever my ties with you! There are not two vultures devouring Kangguo, but three!"

Shen Tang's appearance reminded him.

To rule one's own territory and to live in peace in a corner is ultimately like drinking poison to quench thirst.

Unification is the only way to truly eliminate future troubles!

"Guilong, don't you think there are too many countries in the world?"

Yu Hai looked at the lush scenery outside the window.

"There are too many. One is enough."

Didn’t Xianggu buy a second-hand Polo in early July to practice driving? However, the delivery time was awkward and I missed the subsidy deadline. Yesterday, I checked Xiaohongshu and saw that the ZJ subsidy was traced back to the past, which met the conditions. Today, I hurriedly sold the Polo to a second-hand car dealer. After deducting the loss of the Polo, I can still make tens of thousands of yuan from the subsidy. Hehe, I can buy a new phone.
