stand back, let me come

Chapter 1254: I came at the wrong time? [Seeking monthly ticket]

It is not easy to investigate Shen Tang's talk of destroying the world.

However, Yu Hai also has his own way.

As the head of the Southeast Branch, he has more connections than most people can imagine. Direct investigation is not possible, so he used Yunda's cooperation with the Northwest Branch and its trends over the past few years as a breakthrough point, and also investigated Qishan of the Northwest Branch. Regardless of Qi Yuanliang and Shen Youli, who is the puppeteer controlling the puppet and who is the puppet controlled by the puppeteer, the interests of the two must be the same!

Zhai Le hadn't seen Yu Hai for several days.

Just when he was about to ask, Yu Hai came to see him with a pair of haggard dark circles under his eyes. He accompanied Queen Zhao to eat, and their little son was cute and adorable, sitting next to his parents to eat. Although Zhai Le and Zhao were the king and queen of Qu State, they were close and loving like ordinary couples in private, raising their children and not sticking to the old rule of not talking while eating.

When you come across something the other person likes to eat, don’t forget to give them a couple of bites.

Of course, this is Zhai Le's habit.

When he was young, he traveled with his brother Zhai Huan. It was impossible for them to always abide by the rules of aristocratic children. Influenced by his personality, Zhai Le was also willing to share what he liked. Queen Zhao was not used to it at first, but she got used to it over time.

Some even feel that this move can bring couples closer together.

"Father, my son wants one too."

Zhai Le had no choice but to lean over and hold out his chopsticks: "Okay, here you go."

Halfway through the meal, Yu Hai came to ask for a meeting.

Zhai Le guessed that the investigation had yielded some results, and put down his chopsticks. "Sanniang, you use your food first. Gui Long must have come here for something urgent. Keep an eye on that brat and don't let him eat too much."

"Just don't worry."

Zhai Le is not optimistic about this.

In his early years, he designated his second daughter as the crown princess, determined to entrust her with important tasks, and trained her according to the standards of an heir in every aspect. Regardless of opposition from the royal family, the civil and military officials, or the heated debate among the people, he never wavered, which meant that no matter how talented his youngest son was, he would never have a chance to be king. Out of guilt for the child, and the fact that this child was very likely to be her last in this life - Zhai Le found an absolutely safe contraceptive recipe, and even for the sake of the second daughter's stable heir, he could not give the queen another child - Queen Zhao loved the youngest son even more.

Not to mention that the youngest son has learned how to coax adults without any instruction.

"Eat less."

Zhai Le could only pat his youngest son's head.

He was shocked to see Yu Hai's haggard appearance.

"Has Guilong not slept these days?"

Yu Hai shook his head: "How can I sleep?"

Zhai Le felt more confident after hearing this: "Did Yunda really do something to make the whole world buried with him?"

Yu Hai said: "I can't find the specific details, but from the analysis of clues, looking at Shen Youli's actions over the years, we can see some clues. This is what I found in the past few days."

Zhai Le looked at the thick pile of intelligence, and it took him a long time to read it all. Fortunately, there were red key points marked by Yu Hai, and he only needed to read these to get a general understanding. The more Zhai Le read, the more silent he became, and he even forgot when to put down the intelligence.

Yu Hai asked, "What does the master plan to do?"

The Qu State has basically gathered the forces in the southeast, and took the opportunity of friction with the northeast forces to show off its muscles, giving a slap and then a sweet date, barely deterring the greedy eyes of the outside world with bad intentions! Seize the opportunity to recuperate and try not to let people see the signs of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It has now entered a stage of stable development, and it is time to truce and restore people's livelihood.

If we go to war again, the opposition will not be small.

The Qu Kingdom does not have to help contain the central forces. It can also choose to wait for Shen Tang to be attacked by two parties and then reap the benefits when the three parties are fighting. Of course, this choice is not wise. Not only is it too mean, it is also easy to capsize!

It is not easy to gain an advantage in a fight between two parties.

Zhai Le said: "Contact these people privately."

He gave Yu Hai a small note.

Yu Hai opened it and saw that they were all military generals! This was not surprising, because most of the opposition came from the civil officials, and the military generals' training resources were mostly on the battlefield. As long as Zhai Le convinced this group of people and got their support, this matter would basically be accomplished.

He put the note into his sleeve.

Zhai Le asked again: "Have you found out where Shen Youli is staying?"

"This person is at the outskirts of the capital. Your Majesty wants to see her?"

Zhai Le lowered his head and wiped his beloved sword until the blade could clearly reflect his eyes. He sheathed the sword and hung it on his waist again. He picked up two jars of wine and said, "Of course we have to meet. We have agreed to work together to divide up the fat piece of meat in the middle. We should reach a preliminary agreement on how to divide it and how much to divide, so as to avoid confusion after the matter is accomplished. She will not be ashamed of defaulting on her debt."

Yu Hai also stood up and followed: "I will go with the Lord."

Qi Yuanliang's lord, he is also very interested.

Shen Tang did not deliberately conceal her whereabouts, she was just afraid that others would not be able to find her. The government affairs of the central company were handed over to Gu De, and Xiahou Yu followed her into the territory of Qu State to do business.

Although it was not the first time, she still wanted to sigh - Xiahou Zikuan is really a very unique Quqing Academy limited edition white moonlight, he can make connections wherever he goes. She didn't have a chance to use the travel expenses she brought with her on this business trip.

While others have to spend money when going out, he only needs to scan his face.

This time, Xiahou Yu's friend took the initiative to arrange the villa in the suburbs. He treated him to delicious food every day. He arranged a poetry gathering for an outing the day before yesterday, and a banquet for drinking wine by the stream yesterday. There was also an itinerary planned for today, but it was abandoned because Shen Tang refused to go out.

The friend simply stayed in the villa to play chess and drink tea with Xiahou Yu.

  Inside the window, two scholars were playing chess elegantly, and outside the window, Shen Tang was twisting her wig with a ferocious expression. In addition to the one in her hand, there were two more wigs on the rope for replacement. Every time my friend looked up and saw this scene, he couldn't help but pause!

He immediately lowered his head and saw the box beside him. He felt relieved. His friends had heard that Xiahou Yu had a stable home a few years ago, and they were happy for him. They also heard that many of his classmates had gone to join him, and now they are helping their lord to run his power in a decent way. During this trip through Qu State, Xiahou Yu brought him two special gifts, biographies of famous officials and scholars produced by Kang State in the northwest.

A friend of mine has one too, but it's a pirated copy and the workmanship is crude.

  Once, my friend mentioned it to Xiahou Yu during a correspondence. Unexpectedly, he would remember it and even brought him a limited edition. The limited edition is so attractive just for the paper quality. My friend really couldn't figure out how Kangguo could produce it in large quantities while ensuring the quality. Not only the Kangguo edition of biographies of famous officials and scholars, but also the books of Northwest Kangguo Bookstore are the best in the industry!

The paper is of good quality, the handwriting is clear, and the layout is concise.

  The most important thing is that it is of good quality and cheap!

My friend has heard more than once that it is easy for scholars in the northwest to publish books. All they need to do is give the manuscript to the official Kangguo bookstore. After the bookstore reviews it and gets the book number, they can print the book and sell it in the bookstore in the country. The profit is 50-50. Profit comes second, and the most important thing is to become famous! Which scholar does not want his words and deeds to be passed down to the world?

It’s nice to print it out and keep it at home to look at.

The more he listened, the more excited he became, but the distance between them was too far.

He could only ask friends from all over the world to bring him a few volumes if they had the chance. There were rarely any bulky scrolls on the shelves in his study. Instead, there were neatly stacked hardcover books.

Xiahou Yu also had good intentions.

I voted for peach and reported it to Qiong Yao.

He also treated the other party more sincerely.

The girl next to Zikuan is quite strange.

  He once accidentally saw her take off her wig and shave off the sparse hair that had just grown on her scalp with a razor blade. He was immediately shocked and widened his eyes. This woman was actually dressed as a nun?

When my friend thought of some nuns in rural temples, her face turned unhappy, and it was obvious that she had imagined something strange. Until Shen Tang corrected her that she was not a nun! She was just bald for some reason, and some parts of her scalp could not grow hair, so she used a wig!

The friend was immediately ashamed and bowed his hands to apologize. It was one thing to know it in his heart, but it was another to see Shen Tang drying several wigs with his own eyes. Xiahou Yu looked like he was used to it. How could Xiahou Yu not be used to it? Among these wigs, there was one that a colleague privately prepared for the master's birthday last year. Just how to fix the hairstyle gave the clever embroiderer a headache, but fortunately it was completed on schedule.

The master was very satisfied with this wig.

  The top of the head is high, the hair is thick and the hair color is rich!

So far, only two people know that Shen Tang is showing off his wig.

When Zhai Le climbed over the wall carrying two jars of wine, the number of people who knew the secret of drying wigs became four. Shen Tang paused in combing the wig, Yu Hai jumped down from the wall and almost lost his balance, and Zhai Le's eyes switched between the clothesline and Shen Tang.

Zhai Le sniffed: "Am I here at the wrong time?"

Shen Zixu Tang: "..."

She appeared calm on the surface, but in fact she was screaming in her heart.

He pretended to be calm and put a wig on his head. His movements were smooth and natural, which made the audience jump in surprise and look unbecoming. "No, you came at the right time. Oh, you brought some wine? It's rare to see it here."

Zhai Le was always the one who went to her for free drinks.

"I'll treat you to a drink."

Zhai Le raised her hand, and one of the jars of wine drew a beautiful and simple arc in the air and landed steadily in Shen Tang's hands. She slapped open the red cloth seal with one hand, and the rich aroma of wine filled her nose, making her feel drunk just by smelling it. She took a sip and said, "Good wine!"

"Don't rush to finish it, drink while we chat."

"Chat? Sure!"

Shen Tang had long been certain that Zhai Le would agree, otherwise he would not have stayed here for several days. Zhai Le is no longer the reckless but righteous boy he was back then. He is also responsible for the livelihood of a country, so when cooperating with others, he must be very careful and not give up an inch of land.

Zhai Le saw Xiahou Yu through the window.

Xiahou Yu raised his glass and saluted from a distance, just as a greeting.

His friend's pupils suddenly shrank, his muscles stiffened, and he stopped in mid-air because Zhai Le had already walked with Shen Tang to another place, and Yu Hai followed closely behind without noticing him at all. When the three disappeared from his sight, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"That wasn't..."

"The ruler of Qu State, Zhai Xiaofang."

The friend smiled awkwardly: "It really is the Lord."

He was an official in the court of Qu State. Although he was not a high-ranking official, he was also qualified to see the emperor. He should have been on duty these days, but because Xiahou Yu came, he asked for leave from his superiors, and Yu Hai was the one who approved his leave. It was quite embarrassing to be seen by the two of them.

My friend paused while holding his chess hand, thinking of something.

He asked carefully, "The Lord seems to be here to look for..."

My friend's eyes moved to the fluttering wig on the clothesline.

The king was able to come in person, and judging from their conversation, it seemed that they were old acquaintances. I guess the identity of that "nun" is not simple either.

Xiahou Yu said: "I came to look for my master."

My friend nodded: “Oh…oh?”

  Wait, what did Zikuan call that person? ? ?

Shen Tang sat cross-legged on the rockery beside the pond, eager to take a sip of the wine. Although the taste was not as good as her spirit wine, it was more complex and unique, something she had never tasted before. Zhai Le touched the wine jar with her and got straight to the point: "How much do you want?"

Shen Tang was prepared for this.

She knew that Zhai Le would come to her house either to inquire about the details of the apocalyptic disaster or to discuss with her how to divide the spoils.

Shen Tang doesn't like to suffer a loss: "Fifty-fifty."

Even though Zhai Le was mentally prepared, he was still made to laugh by her.

He suppressed his anger and said, "Fifty-fifty? Shen Youli, I didn't know you were so shameless. You could even ask for this?"

Shen Tang asked: "Why are you so shameless?"

Zhai Le asked her, "Can you provide troops or food?"

Kangguo's main focus is on the southwest, and it will not take the initiative to transfer troops away unless it is absolutely necessary. If Zhai Le does not leave, Kangguo's only solution is to recruit new soldiers in the country and then transfer some of them for internal defense to make do. In this case, both the number and strength of troops are far below the average level. If Zhai Le leaves, Shen Tang will have less pressure on border defense and can concentrate on dealing with the southwest, with less investment in the central region. In this case, she actually has the nerve to propose to split the central region with herself 50-50???

  Is this any different from just putting money directly into his pocket?

Shameless and greedy!

Shen Tang said: "I can send out troops and also provide food."

Zhai Le: "..."

Shen Tang continued, "I can even infiltrate the Central Powers to tip you off and stab them in the back at a critical moment. The power I have been operating in the Central Region over the past few years is indeed small in scale, but it is elite. In order to deal with today's situation, I have long been prepared."

Zhai Le shook his head: "It's useless."

It is just hooliganism to only mention quality without mentioning quantity.

He is not as naive as he was back then, and he will not be easily deceived. Just based on Shen Tang's family background in the Central Region, he wants to share the spoils with him? Even if he agrees in a daze, the civil and military officials in the court will not agree. Zhai Le took the initiative to propose a ratio.

"Eight-two, you two, I eight."

"June 4th, if we can talk about it, then talk about it. If we don't want to talk about it, forget

"Seven and three, you three, I seven."

Shen Tang looked at Zhai Le with resentment in his eyes.

Zhai Le said: "It's useless for you to look at me like this. This time, sending troops will definitely cause great resistance. The civil and military officials in the court have been tired of war for a long time, and the people also need time to recover. If there is no sufficient reward, who is willing to take the risk to provoke the central countries?"

Shen Tang asked a key question.

"If it's 70% to 30%, which 70% do you want?"

Under Shen Tang's gaze, Zhai Le took a map from Yu Hai. The lines were simple and only a rough distribution could be seen.

“It’s these seven points!”

Shen Tang laughed out of anger at the first sight.

"Why don't you just shove a knife into my pillow?"

  (`)

A few days ago, I went to my grandfather's house to play, and he took me a popsicle from the refrigerator. I found that the popsicle was not frozen hard, but half-melted. I think the refrigeration is not good enough. The old refrigerator that has been used for more than ten years should be retired. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I thought about changing the refrigerator. I opened the APP to see the guide, but the big data pushed the local government subsidy for old-for-new. The last time I bought a refrigerator was for decoration, and the similar configuration cost about 10 to . This time, I searched and found a similar configuration (I didn't know how to look at it, but the size and function were similar) with more than positive reviews. Counting the government subsidy, it was finally discounted to . I have to sigh that the development is really fast.
