stand back, let me come

Chapter 1292: Concealing the truth (Part 1292) [Seeking monthly votes]

The last second, I was thinking, what kind of storms have I not seen in my life?

The next second, I saw such a cool operation for the first time.

Zixutang manipulated the pupils of the crowd with one hand to cause a local earthquake, just like a goose with its neck being strangled, unable to utter a word for a long time. For a moment, I didn't know whether I was curious about why the master collected these things, or shocked that the master wanted to use these things to do something big. Who expanded their territory by relying on two boxes of men's calf pants?

He Xin took a deep breath and told himself to stay calm.

He Haogu, He Haogu, you have participated in many fights among officials in the court, so you are well-informed. Don't make a fuss about everything. No matter how horrifying and bizarre the things are, they are likely to happen to the people in Kangguo.

If you really can't calm down, you can push your brother out.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the attendant was not there.

If the recorder was here, he would have written this down in the record book and recorded it in the history books. The master and the owners of these calf-nose pants would have been "famous in history". Everyone has to die, but not in this way. Just thinking about it makes my eyes darken.

[I have a question, where did so many calf-neck pants come from? ]

I prayed in my heart that this matter had nothing to do with the Lord.

Having such a group of strange colleagues is already a self-deprecating thing. If the master also goes crazy and turns into a perverted fan of Dubi Ku, He Xin dare not imagine how many stereotypes future scholars will have when mentioning the Kangguo Dynasty.

A fan of court battles, a man who beats up his colleagues, a pioneer of the tactic of using the calf-nose trousers, and a king or his ministers who are more difficult to control than a New Year pig when they go crazy...

Fortunately, God heard the prayers in the congratulatory letter.

Shen Tang said: [Before the Gongxichou brothers and Shaochong returned to Kangguo, they had been rangers in the Central Region for a while. These calf-nose pants were all the spoils they won from challenging everywhere. I didn't expect that they would come in handy at this time. It's strange to say that the ranger circle in the Central Continent actually has such a heavy taste rule. However, I carefully understood the story behind it and found that this rule is quite humane. The original intention was to use the calf-nose pants instead of the head. ]

It is worthy of being the central region where aristocratic families are prevalent!

Even the rangers were so polite in their fights.

He Xin heard this and his expression faded. Instead, he showed admiration: [Using this as a replacement for the head? It is indeed a kind and clever idea! It is not easy for a warrior to practice martial arts. If he dies in a meaningless private fight, it will cause grief to his blood relatives. He is unfilial to his parents, unrighteous to his wife, and unkind to his children... Using the calf-nose trousers as a replacement for the head is indeed the best of both worlds.]

A real man should die meaningfully even if he dies.

Dying for violence is clearly the most worthless way to die.

Shen Tang also agreed with the congratulatory message: [I don't agree with some of the bad things in the Central Continent, but this ranger rule is good.]

We can consider introducing the ranger circle within Kangguo.

The knights-errant were violent and ruthless, often going too far in a fight, and if one side could not control its strength, a murder might occur, which had a very serious adverse impact on public security. The knights-errant group was mixed, and some of the more powerful warriors would roam around after committing murder, which not only affected public security, but also affected the government's governance of the local area.

Shen Tang currently has no way to completely eliminate this problem.

Confiscate banned weapons?

How do I collect this?

  At most, it would restrict ordinary rangers, but it would not work for those brave warriors. As long as they have martial energy, they can transform into various weapons. The ranger rules of the Central Continent gave her inspiration. She might be able to find another way, starting with standardizing the rules of fighting and restricting the occasions of fighting. Brave warriors are naturally aggressive, so instead of suppressing them violently, why not guide them step by step?

He Xin also thought of this.

He pulled out a palm-sized scroll from his sleeve, and then took out a charcoal pencil to add a line on it, ready to bring it up at the court meeting. The writing of the congratulatory letter stunned Gu De and the others, but they couldn't help but want to stand in awe.

  He always keeps official business in mind, how can he be a bad person?

They will feel relieved to have such colleagues to work with in the future.

[My lord is planning to use these calf-nose pants...] Xiahou Yu felt very embarrassed and awkward when he said this, but his lord was serious and handled the matter impartially, which made him look shy. [...Use this token to recruit their owner?]

[That’s roughly what I planned.]

Winner takes all, loser for Kou.

Xiahou Yu worriedly asked, "What if they get angry out of shame?"

There are also people who refuse to pay their debts.

Shen Tang said: [Don't worry about that. They shouldn't be that shameless. I heard Gong Xichou say that when he was looking for his elder brother Jimo Qiu, the two brothers often missed each other because of fate. The only clue was that his elder brother and his companion Shao Chong challenged strong men from all over the place, and Gong Xichou chased them all the way. Many of their targets were defeated by the brothers one after another.]

That is to say-

Many of the defeated soldiers lost two pairs of calf pants.

A pair of trousers is equivalent to a life.

You can deny your debt for one life, but do you have the nerve to deny your debt for two lives?

The brave warriors were more loyal and honest. As long as Shen Tang showed the token, they would be willing to help Shen Tang fight a few battles even if they were unwilling to bring their families to join him. The most important thing was that they were willing to come! Once they came, Shen Tang was absolutely sure to keep them and hold their hearts! Everything is difficult at the beginning!

Xiahou Yu: [……]

Suddenly, he felt a little sorry for the defeated.

  When they thought about how much profit these calf-length pants would bring in the future and how they could solve their urgent needs, they were no longer just calf-length pants. Several people wrote down the names on the calf-length pants and compiled them into a list. The more Xiahou Yu wrote, the more frightened he became! The people on the calf-length pants were not ordinary people!

He was familiar with several of them.

Shen Tang was not surprised at all: [This is normal. Gong Xichou is arrogant and likes to play high-level games. He doesn't like to blow up fish ponds unless it is official business. In private fights, it is better to choose those who are stronger and thicker. You don't have to worry about killing them. ]

Those who are too weak will be reincarnated after a few slaps.

Jimo Qiu had to familiarize himself with the power of the integration of [Dihu Guanding], and also tried to choose opponents with strength close to or stronger than his own, relying on pressure to stimulate his potential. The two brothers' brains were unexpectedly tacit, saving Shen Tang a lot of trouble.

What’s even more clever is that they challenged their opponents as rangers at the time, with no faction or camp affiliation, and victory or defeat was pure.

If a Kangguo general were to challenge the same opponent, it would involve a power struggle, and the loser would rather sever his own meridians than admit defeat. Losing to an individual is fine, but losing to a hostile force is not!

Shen Tang went to visit with the list in his hand.

The invitation to visit is a pair of calf-nose pants.

Adhering to the principle of proximity, Shen Tang's first target was a county marquis, whose farm was next door. It was said that in order to support his private troops, the county marquis next door could exploit the local tenants, but he also gave them a certain amount of protection to the maximum extent.

Overall, life is barely survivable.

Shen Tang originally planned to annex this place.

I didn’t expect that he was on the list, so I don’t have to worry about it anymore.

After so many years, he looked at the calf pants with his name on them, and the dark memories of the past came flooding back to him. He felt like the sky was about to fall. No wonder he had no harvest today. Was bad luck waiting for him here? He held the edge of the calf pants tightly, his face switching back and forth between black, white, green and red, his eyes red and misty.

The unbearable memories suffocated him.

【Who sent it? 】

[It’s a strange lady. ]

[Lady? Female? Are you sure it’s not a male?]

The county lord felt like he was alive again. He managed to calm himself down and ordered someone to invite the lady: [Remember, be respectful!]

He didn't want to lose his third pair of trousers!

[I wonder why the lady came to my house with the token of love? ]

With the handle in someone else's hands, the county marquis dared not show off. In order to be as approachable as possible, he had to hold his voice. He spoke softly, fearing that he would anger Shen Tang and provoke the damned little beast. Shen Tang said: [Of course I have something to ask for. ]

The county lord was surprised when he heard this: [Do you have something to ask for? ]

  He raised his eyebrows inwardly, a feeling of joy flowing quietly. Could it be that the little beast who took away his calf-nose pants has died?

If so, perhaps I can deny my debt.

His eyes fell on the calf-nose pants, but he was thinking whether to destroy the body or not. Shen Tang didn't care what he was thinking: [This item was given to me by my close friend. He was busy with something and gave it to me, saying that it could help him out of an emergency. Right now, we are just starting out, and we are short of manpower. I would like to ask the county marquis...]

The county marquis sneered when he heard this: [If your close friend came in person, I might be able to give him some face, but what gives you the right to do so? ]

Not everyone can make him admit defeat even if they are given a calf-nose trousers!

Shen Tang said: [The county lord doesn't want to recognize him? ]

The county marquis laughed and said, "It's the same knife. A 30-year-old man holding a knife or a 3-year-old child dragging a knife. Which one should the lady fear?"

He acknowledged the token.

  He doesn't recognize the person!

Want to gain benefits from using a token?

It would be better to let the real owner of the token come and speak in person.

Shen Tang: [The county lord thinks I am a three-year-old child? ]

The county marquis hummed a tune through his nose.

He said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

Shen Tang was mentally prepared for this scene. She slowly stood up and looked down at the county lord who was a few steps away: [Please give me some advice! ]

When the county lord heard these four words, he became furious.

[How dare you, a mere woman, say such things to me? 】

Shen Tang raised his eyebrows: [I am not just a nobody. ]

The county lord sneered: [What if you lose? ]

Shen Tang said: [What if I give you the waist scarf? ]

[What do I need your waist scarf for? If I want it, I want you! My wealth today is not an insult to you! ]

After the tragic loss of the third pair of calf-nose pants—

He couldn't help but cry in his heart.

  How could a mere county marquis like me deserve to be robbed of my calf's pants by four damned little beasts? This was simply too much!

Shen Tang looked at the neatly folded, brand new silk trousers with snow-white pearls the size of longan sewn on them and asked a question.

【Would silk be uncomfortable as underwear? 】

It doesn't absorb water at all, and cotton cloth is more skin-friendly.

Also, who would sew a string of pearls on a trousers?

Looking at the position of the pearl, Shen Tang had a strange expression.

[County Marquis, this one has really never been used? ]

The county marquis looked so humiliated that he almost cried.

【This, this is a custom! 】

Ever since the abnormal custom of wearing a calf-nose hat instead of a head started that year, although the county marquis had not been defeated again, he still kept in mind to be prepared for any eventuality.

Somehow, someone makes people prepare something new.

In order to show his status, he followed the trend and sewed a string of pearls.

This Dubibi pants is not for defeating anyone, it exists to warn himself that he cannot suffer the same humiliation for the third time! Every day, looking at this Dubibi pants, he worked hard to improve himself and practiced hard. In the past few years, his progress has indeed been much greater than before.

Unfortunately, I hit a wall.

Shen Tang nodded and followed the local customs.

After defeating the opponent, she asked someone to take out the second pair of calf pants with the name of the county marquis written on it. The county marquis stood up as if his butt was electrocuted, and stared at the second pair with his tiger eyes. A thought flashed through his mind: [What is your relationship with these people? ]

Why do both of them exist in this person's hands?

Shen Tang said: [Of course, my ministers.]

The county marquis's expression at this moment was extremely wonderful, and finally it was frozen in a blank. He closed his eyes, exhaled as if he had given up, and said: "Forget it, I didn't expect these people to be impressed by you. It's not a disgrace to be their colleague."

Now it was Shen Tang's turn to be surprised.

Her original intention was to find someone to do a short-term job for her.

From what he said, he's prepared to work for a long time.

  He can recruit the opponent to his side by just fighting, and at the same time make a fortune from his local business!

[However——this token——]

As the county marquis spoke, he began to hesitate.

To show his sincerity, Shen Tang returned the three pieces: [This matter is known only to heaven, earth, you and me, and no one else will know about it. ]

The county lord said stubbornly: [I am not someone who cannot afford to lose. ]

After a while: [What is the current strength of the strange hero Qiu? ]

His lifelong wish is to get his revenge one day.

  Not only should we blame Xia Chou and Jimo Qiu for their Dubi pants, but we should also ask them to take them off on the spot, so that we can avenge our previous shame!

Shen Tang: [Eighteenth-rank great minister.]

County Marquis: [……]

Shen Tang seemed to hear the sound of the spout of the kettle opening.

Shen Tang gave him ten days to pack up and arrange his men, and he rushed to the next one without stopping. Not everyone needed to fight like the county marquis, some of them were generous and agreed to help for a while, and then returned to their freedom and redeemed their tokens, while some of them were irritable and gloomy and wanted to kill people to silence them.

As for the latter, Shen Tang didn't give any face.

[My best friend wants to hold a founding meeting for his school. He will pick an auspicious date and invite all his relatives, friends and old acquaintances. At the meeting, he will inevitably recall the past achievements...] Imagine a group of well-known people gathered together to admire the Dubi Fu with their own autographs and tiger seals. Among these people, there may be acquaintances or enemies of the original owner of the Dubi Fu.

[You are despicable! ]

Everyone is destined to die, but they cannot die as a society.

Shen Tang used various tricks to quickly make up for the shortcomings of his generals.

Some of the original owners of these calf-nosed pants have died, some have gone far away, and some are missing, but the remaining ones are enough for Shen Tang to use. She also sighed: [The military commanders carefully selected by Brother Jimo Qiu are indeed very impressive. ]

Back then, the two brothers only challenged warriors who were at or above the thirteenth level. After a few years, these people have made some progress. In terms of overall average quality, they are even better than the Kangguo military commanders! If the quality is good, why worry about the quantity?

  |ω`)

Although Zixu does not have very strong warriors, there are more than ten or twenty unlucky guys with an average of more than thirteen hits.
