stand back, let me come

Chapter 1275: One Battle to Decide the Southwest (XII) [Happy National Day]

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Mei Meng.

She remained calm and bent down to pick up the note.

The King of Qi was close enough to see the contents clearly at a glance. A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he hesitated to speak. Miao Ne, wearing a horse armor, accompanied the King all day, and at this moment, he also had an excellent view. As the King's "talking flower", she would not miss the slightest change in his expression. What the King was not convenient to say, she said: "This handwriting seems familiar?"

Gongyang Yongye did not recognize Mei Meng's handwriting, but Miao Ne did.

With Miao Ne's unremitting efforts, the King of Qi State really trusted her. Not only did he allow Miao Ne to copy his calligraphy and write congratulatory messages for his subjects during festivals, he also taught her how to handle unimportant memorials to relieve his worries. No matter how well Miao Ne did, she would always respectfully ask for his instructions, which made the King feel satisfied but also a little regretful.

  What are you sorry about?

It is naturally a pity that such a good seedling is not his own daughter.

If it was her own daughter, there would be no doubt that Wang Tainu would be the right choice, and she would not have to give birth to children in succession for several years in order to have a talented and qualified heir. Even though giving birth was not a big deal for her now, and she did not need to raise the child herself, it was taboo to have a fetus in her belly, which would still cause some inconvenience to her private life.

Every time I feel this way, I regret not being a man. Men don’t have to carry a child themselves, it’s efficient and inexpensive, and they don’t have to feel bad if one or two babies die. Her children are different, one a year, and if one of them dies, it means that the pain of pregnancy that year was in vain.

Because the heir was still too young, the King of Qi State raised the young You Bao as a junior - this child was sweet-mouthed and capable, and he was from the heir's father's clan, the You family. If he was trained well, he could assist the heir for decades in the future - You Bao had naturally seen Mei Meng's memorials and recognized the other party's handwriting: "Look familiar?"

Miao Ne moved his lips, a little afraid.

"…He looks familiar, a bit like Mei Xiang…"

"It's not 'like', it's clearly 'actual'. Kangguo's intention to sow discord is too obvious, who can he fool?"

She would not doubt Mei Meng's loyalty just because of a piece of paper. Disagreeing with Mei Meng's ideas was one thing, but questioning and undermining Mei Meng's prestige in public was another. This was the front line, and no matter how big the conflict was, she had to wait until this hurdle was over.

As soon as the King of Qi opened his mouth, he concluded that the fact that there was Mei Meng's handwriting on the note was just a means for Kangguo to sow discord.

  As for how Kang Guo imitated Mei Meng's handwriting so similarly?

The King of Qi did not ask any more questions.

Seeing Mei Meng's expression change instantly when she saw the note, she knew there might be something behind it - no matter what the story was, as long as Mei Meng didn't betray her, she could pretend to be deaf and dumb now.

"Gentlemen, who can enhance the prestige of our army?"

The King of Qi raised his hand and patted Mei Meng's shoulder. He looked past her and looked directly at the allied army. Being threatened like this while sitting on the banner was like two beasts fighting. One of the beasts showed its fangs covered with saliva, and its muscles were ready to go, using the most primitive force to suppress the momentum of the other beast. If you can't fight back, you will lose in momentum alone, and your morale will be affected.

The generals looked embarrassed.

In terms of archery, they are naturally the best. Hitting the target from a hundred paces away is not even a threshold for them. The key to the problem lies in the distance between the two armies. If you want to achieve a similar effect and fight back, it is far from enough to rely on strength and accuracy. You also need exquisite martial energy control and explosive power. In this way, the big arrow can be shot from a long distance and accurately threaten the central army.

Their archery skills are good enough, but their martial courage is not enough.

Someone secretly observed Gong Yang Yongye out of the corner of his eye.

With the other party's level of strength, this job is easy for him.

Unexpectedly, Gongyang Yongye pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending that he could not understand the hints from others' eyes. The ruler of Qi State could not directly order the other party to act. The nineteenth-rank Guannei Marquis had a bigger frame than her ruler. Just when the atmosphere was deadlocked, a brilliant arrow burst out from the camp and shot towards the Kang State camp. The surging wind blew the flags and the dust filled the sky.

Luo Yuan put down the bow in his hand.

He glanced at this group of shameful people with complicated eyes.

They were already slapped in the face, and they were still thinking about whether they could do it? Regardless of whether they could threaten the Kangguo camp, shouldn't they just do it first? Luo Yuan's already bad mood was made worse.

With a snort, he collected the arrow and left.

He said nothing, but it seemed like he said everything.

They don't even have the courage to fight back, what a bunch of rubbish.

The group of people who had not blushed at being humiliated by Kang Guo's arrows, blushed on the spot when Luo Yuan looked at them. Qi Cang finished watching this monkey show, sneered in his heart, and prepared to leave quietly. Shen Wuyou Tang followed him and said, "Strange, don't you want to watch the fun?"

"Entertainment can be divided into good and bad. Good shows make you happy, but watching too many bad shows can make you lose your mind." Qi Cang said that he likes to watch entertainment, but he is not picky about all entertainment. "This is a bad show. Watching it every day will make people hallucinate and think that everyone in the world is stupid. I won't watch it anymore."

  He is not the kind of person who likes to use his brain. What if he is led astray by this group of people and his brain degenerates further?

Shen Wu You Tang curled his lips.

When it comes to sarcasm, Qi Cang is far ahead of others.

"Are you still going night fishing tonight? My people said they found a small island with few people and fish. It's not too far from here. With our strength, it only takes half an hour to go back and forth." Fishing is addictive. Qi Cang had taken her to night fishing every day before, and she had developed a habit of it. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't cast a rod in a day. The master was also affected, staring at the water in a daze every day.

Alas, Qi Cang is really committing a sin.

Qi Cang paused: "With our strength, it will take another half an hour? Where? There's no need to go to such a remote place to kill people and dump corpses."

It is convenient for a strong warrior to travel.

Take the empty road directly between the two points without any traffic jams or detours.

"Just say whether you're going or not?"

"Go, of course I will go."

  How can fighting be as important as going fishing?

We cannot miss the opportunity to return home with a full load because of fighting.

Not only that, he also wanted to show off to Shen Tang the new fishing rod he got yesterday. This was not an ordinary fishing rod, but a fishing rod used by the best fisherman in the area. Qi Cang's men specially collected it. Shen Tang was skeptical about this.

"Bad students have too much stationery."

Failure to catch fish may have nothing to do with the fishing rod.

Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and this night fishing trip was ruined by the sudden war. He was ready to take out his fishing rod, but unexpectedly, news from the central army disrupted his plan. Qi Cang looked down at the fishing rod and sighed with regret.

The subordinates looked at their moody boss anxiously.

"General, do you still want this..."

Qi Cang said unhappily, "What do you mean by want or not? When the war breaks out, can I really abandon the battlefield and go fishing? Damn my stuff, this will be blamed on Kangguo. If I can't catch fish, I'll catch people!"

As soon as he left the tent, he ran into Shen Tang, who looked surprised: "If we can't fish tonight, you and I can compete in killing people!"

Shen Tang dropped his fishing rod and basket and transformed into a military armor.

He took a few steps forward and followed: "Why did the fight suddenly start?"

The Qi State camp is in a hurry, and so is my side.

  Didn't they start the war without any notice? Even if the wind direction tonight was suitable for a surprise attack across the river, it wouldn't happen so quickly. Shen Tang asked Qi Cang, who could Qi Cang ask? Why ask so many questions? Just kill!

Shen Wuyou Tang secretly contacted the original body.

She updated her memory and understood it based on the information.

This matter has to start with a third party.

The time was around noon.

The vanguard scouts found more than 40 boats appearing near the waters, with strange flags flying high on their sails. They did not belong to the Southwest Allied Forces. They were not heading towards the Southwest Allied Forces, but rather towards the "besieged" Kangguo main force. As a warning, a Kangguo scout chopped off a piece of bamboo with one hand and threw it into the water, then took a deep breath and stepped lightly onto the bamboo.

With a slap of the palm, the water breaks through.

"The camp ahead, stop!"

After saying that, he pretended to pluck the bowstring and let out a long arrow. "If you don't stop, it's considered a war!"

The fleet also spotted the scout on the water and immediately ordered the sailors to stop rowing. The leader came over on the waves, the splashing water did not touch the corner of his clothes, and his movements were graceful and neat. When he got closer, he saw that the other person looked young, in his early twenties at first glance.

"May I ask if you are from Kangguo?"

It was the first time for the scout to be called "General". He thought to himself that this person was very polite and considerate. He needed the help of bamboo to stand on the water. The other person's feet were empty on the water, and his strength was far beyond his own. He couldn't help but relax his expression. She said, "Yes."

The young man said, "We are here to seek refuge."

The scout was stunned when he heard this.

It seemed that he didn't expect the other party to have this intention.

It's not that there were no defectors from Kangguo during their fight, but they were all small fish and shrimps, bringing all their possessions to seek self-protection. Once Kangguo lost its power in the war, these people would run away faster than rabbits. The young man in front of him was different. Look at the more than 40 warships behind him. Not to mention the strategic value of these warships, there were nearly a thousand people on the warships alone...

Could it be that the enemy arranged a false surrender?

The scout didn't dare to agree easily, and asked these people to report their origins first, and then wait here, and she would go back to report. The young man didn't feel neglected at all, but clasped his fists and said to her: "Trouble."

The message was transmitted to the master as quickly as possible and awaited his decision.

Shen Tang was also puzzled: "To surrender? At this time?"

It sounds like a trick played by the enemy.

Wu You didn't hear any news in the Southwest Allied Camp, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Wu You's intelligence can only be used as a supplement and can't be over-relied on. Shen Tang asked: "Did you explain your origins?"

"It is said that the family name is Luo."

"Luo?"

Shen Tang flipped through his memories.

There are several well-known Luo clans in the southwest continent, but they are either too far away to travel across mountains and rivers to join them, or they are staunch allies of the southwest countries and will not betray them. The more she listened, the more she felt that these people were coming here to pretend to surrender, so she gave up the nest she had just prepared: "Bring them over, meet them, and have some fun."

"By the way, go inform Wangchao to work overtime."

As soon as Gu Chi arrived, he noticed a strange smell in the tent.

When the curtain is opened, a tall and straight figure comes into view.

Looking at the front appearance, even the most picky person will have a positive first impression of this face. The young man has an extremely fair complexion. Unlike men and women nowadays who grow long hair because "the hair and skin on their bodies are given by their parents", this person has messy and unruly short hair.

That’s fine, but young people dress in a rebellious way.

The collar opened all the way down to the waist, revealing a white and full chest, and his waist was low, almost reaching his hips. In other words, if this person had more body hair, he would probably reveal something indecent.

Gu Chi frowned.

This is no different from harassment.

Jimo Qiu obviously thought so too.

With an unhappy look on his face, he stood between the young man and His Highness.

Gu Chi asked, "Could you please tidy up your appearance, sir?"

The young man looked down and said, "What's wrong with this?"

Jimo Qiu: "You must not be untidy in front of the emperor."

The young man scratched his short hair, smiled brightly, showing his white teeth, and tried to tighten his collar, explaining: "Oh, I wear this for convenience in the water. I'm used to it. Please forgive me."

Gu Chi felt that his explanation was a bit perfunctory.

Gong Xichou tilted his head and moved closer to his elder brother.

"Why is there a fishy smell?" It was not the young man's body odor, but the other party's martial energy. Gong Xichou was knowledgeable, but this was the first time he smelled a fishy smell from martial energy.

Ordinary people can't smell it, but he is strong enough to smell it.

Jimo Qiu also answered in a low voice: "It's a mermaid."

"Ok?"

"Mermaid, the opponent's martial arts totem."

Gongxichou: “???”

Shen Tang, who was not very interested at first, said: "???"

Gong Xichou: "Dugong?"

“Not a dugong.”

If we trace it back carefully, we can at least trace it back to the end of the last human civilization. Jimo Qiu's memory is incomplete, but he has gradually obtained some things from the inheritance and knows some secrets. At the end of the last human civilization, humans tried almost all methods to continue the race. One of them was to accelerate evolution and merge into the ocean.

The land cannot be cultivated and produce anything, so it's a dead end no matter how you look at it.

The ocean is dangerous, but at least there is a glimmer of hope.

Of course, these plans failed.

However, the traces of these genetic experiments were left behind with reproduction, such as the young man in front of him, his Wudan Totem was one of the traces. Of course, in the eyes of others, the young man's Wudan Totem was not enough to be considered a curiosity, but rather useless.

Gu Chi glanced at him frequently.

Jimo Qiu noticed his gaze and smiled slightly.

Gu Chi: "..."

I definitely said it on purpose for him to hear.

Shen Tang also asked the mermaid, no, why did the young man surnamed Luo join him? The Southwest Allied Forces were the local power in the southwest, and joining them was obviously more cost-effective and safer than joining her.

The mermaid was quite honest: "Mr. Shen has beaten Luo Yuan."

  Whoever hits Luo Yuan, he will fight him, it’s that simple!

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment before he realized who Luo Yuan was. Wasn't he one of the two nineteenth-rank Guannei Marquises of the Southwestern Allied Forces?

"Do you have a grudge against Luo Yuan?"

The mermaid said frankly: "Ancestors' enemies."

As soon as he heard that Luo Yuan had escaped, he called on his clansmen and rushed over to seek revenge. However, Luo Yuan relied on the Southwest Allied Forces, and the more than 40 boats under his command were useless, so he had no choice but to surrender to Luo Yuan's enemy. So this surrender happened.

Shen Tang: "..."

Judging from her expression, does she look like she believes it?

  (ゝω)

As mentioned above, Luo Yuan sent his wife away to learn from a master in his early years. After completing his studies, he secretly met with his wife and gave her a child. Luo Yuan was unable to defeat his master in battle, so he used this incident to provoke him, and thus became his enemy.
