stand back, let me come

Chapter 1362: Kick the Widow's Door at Night [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The two spears crossed above the enemy's neck and sank into the ground.

Large mouthfuls of dirty blood gushed out of his mouth, splashing half of his face, and even sticky blood stained his eyelids, almost flowing into his eyes. He was like a stranded fish, and even though he was unwilling in his heart, he was powerless to save the situation. The deputy general saw this scene in the chaos and said anxiously: "Don't hurt my lord——"

Shen Tang pulled the defeated general up from the ground.

"Watch it, don't let him die."

Not all enemies need to be killed.

What's the point of expanding the territory if there are no useful people in hand? She doesn't have much time to cultivate her own confidants now, so she can only expand the territory while screening. The enemy general was still struggling when he was caught. Luo San took a look and slapped him on the waist while no one was paying attention.

Just now, seven or eight big men couldn't hold him down. He was harder to hold down than a New Year pig. But Luo San made the enemy general obey him immediately. In the blink of an eye, he was tied up and put in a special prisoner restraint.

The enemy general was still immersed in the dirty trick just now, his eyes widened, just in time to meet Luo San's eyes: "You——"

He had some impression of Luo San.

We had even had a drink together before when we were reporting on our work in the royal capital.

He was extremely disappointed and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You bastard, I thought you were a man, but you treated me like a thief's lackey?"

Luo San said: "Young people should not commit sins by speaking carelessly."

First, he did not submit to Xiahou Li, he just owed her a favor and wanted to find a chance to repay it; second, even if he submitted to Lady Xiahou Li, the lower limit of the other party was much higher than the upper limit of the Lord of Qi. Submitting to the former was considered a lackey, so what was submitting to the latter?
The enemy general was angry: "You are just a nobody!"

Seeing him struggling violently again, with his internal wounds showing signs of bursting and expanding, and the soldier who was suppressing the enemy general being thrown over and fell on his buttocks, Luo San couldn't help but sigh and said, "My friend, in my opinion, you have only been receiving salary from Qi State for a few years. Qi State pays you to sell your physical strength. To put it bluntly, what's the difference between you and the farmhands of a landlord? Look, you and these soldiers are all working for others, why do you have to embarrass them? Don't be so shameless, you'll really lose your life."

The enemy general became even more furious: "Who do you say is the farmhand?"

Luo San carefully considered changing the word: "Thug?"

The farmhands are the ones who do the work, and the thugs are the ones who guard the house.

The metaphor of a farmhand is not really appropriate.

The enemy general almost wanted to fight Luo San to the death when he heard this. Luo San saw the situation and gave the enemy Danfu another blow. The soldiers who suppressed the enemy general were so tired that they were sweating all over: "Lord Luo, please stop talking."

The enemy general panted like a trapped animal and said, "Lord Luo? I guess you defected because the villain promised you a title of nobility and a chancellor."

Luo San said: "Why can't I just work hard on my own?"

There was no need for him to be granted a title of nobility; wherever he went he was known as "Marquis Luo".

The enemy general obviously had no idea of ​​the meaning behind his words.

In other words, even Luo San's former subordinates did not know his true past and strength, and a few of his confidants knew at most that his strength was not as simple as it appeared. The people of the Qi Kingdom's court would not know that they had a colleague who was a 20th-rank Chehou, including the enemy general.

No matter how the enemy general struggled, it was an indisputable fact that he was severely injured and captured alive by Shen Tang in three rounds. The main general was defeated, and the deputy general was blocked from rescuing him, which directly led to the collapse of the army's morale. Shen Tang successfully caught a fat rabbit: "If you don't cooperate, you will starve for two days."

A courageous warrior resists hunger, but ordinary soldiers do not.

Will the enemy general be prepared to remain loyal to Qiguo and watch his subordinates who have followed him for many years starve to death, or will he submit to her obediently and start a second spring in life? She tore off a rabbit leg in front of the two fat rabbits: "I'll see what you do."

I caught two rabbits in one day.

One in the morning and one in the evening.

"Huh, can you really kill everyone?" The enemy general said that he was not afraid of threats and always responded to soft tactics rather than hard ones!

"Why not?" Shen Tang tore off a piece of meat and said to Gu De, "Yourong, tell him who we are!"

Gu De said: "We are 'thieves'."

An official identity stamped by the King of Qi’s court.

Shen Tang echoed him, "Did you hear me? I am a vicious thief, but if I had any conscience, I would not go against your Qi Kingdom, which is known for its 'peaceful government and harmonious people' and 'popularity', don't you think? Look, the clothes we wear and the food we eat are all obtained from the common people who are being exploited by heavy taxes. There is no surplus food at home, and we can't even support ourselves, so where can we get rice and grain to feed your men? If we can't support them and can't release them, then can't we just kill them? There is nothing we can do about it."

"you--"

Shen Tang said with a smile, "Generals, please be sensible. Obey or not! Your loyalty and chastity may win you a good reputation, but how can you feel at ease if you cause the innocent deaths of thousands of brothers? I don't like to force things. A forced melon is not sweet. So, Yourong, let someone dig a pit. Dig it before dawn. If they refuse to obey, kill them all and bury them!"

Enemy general: “…”

How can this be called not forcing?
"Bah, you thief think you can scare people like this?"

The other one was less seriously injured and was more stubborn.

Shen Tang looked down at him, and his imposing aura suppressed him so much that he could hardly raise his head. Just when he thought Shen Tang would draw his sword and kill him, Shen Tang suddenly grinned. He bent down slightly, lifted him up with one hand, and walked towards the construction site with big strides, throwing him to the edge of the pit.

Shen Tang dusted off his hands and said, "You come to supervise."

Fat Rabbit No. 2 looked at the pit that was beginning to take shape with bloodshot eyes.

"I will fight with you!"

The Dan Mansion was sealed, and without the endless supply of martial energy, the dozen or so young and strong soldiers were already giving themselves a headache just relying on their physical strength.

Fortunately, Fat Rabbit No. 2 was tied up with his hands tied behind his back, which greatly limited his strength. He was alone, while the soldiers could constantly replace people. The two sides were deadlocked for a quarter of an hour, and the pit operation continued. The struggle ended only when Fat Rabbit No. 2 was exhausted and pressed to the edge of the pit.

Luo San watched Shen Tang tearing the cold rabbit leg to taste it, and was a little worried: "Your Highness's actions will make them secretly hate you."

Today's actions are also inconsistent with Lady Xiahou's usual character.

Shen Tang said indifferently: "Hold the grudge if you want."

Holding a grudge only shows that you are narrow-minded and it will be difficult to achieve anything in the future.

Actually, apart from threatening them and causing them some physical pain, she didn't do any extra harm. She fought quickly and decisively, minimizing the casualties of their old men. If the battle dragged on for a long time, there would not be only a hundred or so corpses on the ground.

Appeasement can certainly make people loyal to you.

but--

Shen Tang said honestly: "It takes time and energy to recruit people."

Where does she have so much time to play this game now?
Violence is one of the rules of troubled times.

Shen Tang was just following the trend.

Luo San said: "What if they really don't want to surrender? They are determined to live and die with Qi State and keep the chastity for the King of Qi State?"

Shen Tang was silent for three seconds.

"Even a toad can get his fill of swan meat. It's not surprising that even a loser like the King of Qi has a few loyal followers. If they really want to risk their lives to earn this chastity arch, how can I not allow it? Kill these two and bury them in the same grave as their King."

These two made her lose face, and she couldn't slap them in the face. She couldn't let them go, but if she killed them, they wouldn't know whether Shen Tang had tricked and killed their old subordinates. In this way, Shen Tang had a way out, and the two of them also reached a spiritual climax and completed the achievement of [Sacrifice for the Lord], which was a win-win situation.

Luo San was secretly shocked.

He was even more certain that Xiahou Li would not be content to be inferior to others.

She was unwilling to reveal her ambitions before because she needed to use the King of Kang as a shield to attract the attention of the outside world and buy time for her to grow and develop. Once her wings are fully grown, it will be the day when she will truly "be silent for three years, and when she does, she will be amazing"!
He just said, how could a hero really be willing to be inferior to others?
Shen Tang had no idea what Luo San was thinking about. After she finished eating the roasted rabbit, she meditated for three or four weeks. Just as she opened her eyes and exhaled the foul air, she received the good news that the two fat rabbits were willing to surrender.

Yes, if you don’t give an answer, a big hole will be dug.

"The two generals have suffered."

Shen Tang looked at the two people with pale faces, untied them one by one with a smile, and asked someone to bring clean water for them to wash their faces.

The two of them had to accept the favor even though they didn't want to.

They all suppressed their emotions and washed their faces in a hurry.

"...Since we have already agreed, we will not break our promise easily. Please...My Lord, please keep your promise and do not hurt any of my old subordinates!" It was the first time that they felt the word "Lord" was so hot. The tone was hard and sounded like a provocation.

Shen Tang didn't seem to notice anything unusual in their words.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He smiled and said, "It's natural."

He turned around and asked Gu De to speed up the progress of digging the pit.

The two of them saw a scene that left them dumbfounded.

The soldiers who were just slowly digging the pit suddenly became excited, and they rushed into the pit a few times, and the progress bar of the pit was filled up in a short while. The two of them almost couldn't sit still, and before they could jump up, Shen Tang pressed their shoulders and couldn't move.

"Don't worry, generals. You have misunderstood."

This pit was indeed used to bury people, but it was not used to bury living people, but to bury soldiers who died in the melee.

She said, "Dig deeper to avoid being disturbed by wild animals."

The noise was so loud that it could not be hidden from the woodcutters who made a living by cutting wood.

Meat is a precious food in troubled times, it can be from animals or humans. Every time a fight breaks out, if the battlefield is not properly managed, there will always be fearless civilians who come to steal the bodies afterwards. Therefore, even if she does not burn the bodies, she will dig a four or five meter pit to bury the bodies. Not to mention wild animals, even ordinary people with tools would find it difficult to dig so deep in a short time.

The two suppressed their anxiety and continued watching.

In the end, I found that things were just as Shen Tang said.

The bodies were neatly laid out at the bottom of the pit, not thrown around or piled up randomly, and even the soldiers' clothes were not stripped off.

At least I don’t come naked and leave naked.

The two of them looked at it silently and carefully discovered that the number was wrong.

They looked at each other, and this time no one spoke first. Instead, Shen Tang took the initiative to say, "To be honest with you two generals, the military doctors under my command are quite skilled. For all those who can be saved, we simply treat their injuries and wait for transfer, so the number of people is relatively small."

It was not that she concealed the casualties, nor that she processed some of the bodies into food. It was just that words were not enough, and they would not trust others easily. Shen Tang also had a way to deal with the two of them, and let them meet the captured deputy general. When these people met, the captives had just finished a meal of dry food. The deputy generals still had consciences, and the main general was in danger, so how could they accept the enemy's kindness?
"My Lord/General——"

The embarrassed group met again, held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

The two fat rabbits looked at their respective officials in surprise and asked hurriedly, "Thief...did that man torture you?"

The deputy general's face was clean, and his hair, which had been messed up in the melee, had been tidied up and looked quite neat. Apart from the worry and fatigue that could not be concealed between his eyebrows, he did not look like he had been abused...

"That's not the case."

"But they refused to tell us where our lord is. We are so worried." Looking at the bruised and battered commander, the deputy commander was heartbroken and almost cried, "Our lord has suffered. It is because of my poor protection."

The two fat rabbits fell silent.

They realized that Shen Tang's harsh words were all lies.

The big pit was dug to properly deal with the dead soldiers, and the captured soldiers were not threatened or abused, but were given dry food. Shen Tang's behavior of slapping them twice and giving them two sweet dates made the two of them feel uncomfortable. When they were extremely angry, they realized that they had misunderstood others' kindness and felt guilty for no reason.

They thought they had compromised and given themselves to the thief in exchange for the best situation, but turned around and were told that they had judged him by their own standards and that he was not a bad person at all. Not only was he not a bad person, he could even be called a good person.

One of them sighed: "Ah..."

Now that things have come to this, what else can they do?

They could only follow the other party and take it one step at a time. The deputy general and others looked at them in confusion, and the two of them didn't know where to start.

Luo San, who watched the whole process, said: "..."

He always felt that this scene was a little strange.

Shen Tang smiled strangely: "It's right to feel weird."

Luo Sanxi asked: "Why?"

Shen Tang argued: "It's like me kicking a widow at night... no, a widower. The little widower was alone with two kids. I saw that he was handsome and he was afraid of me. Without knowing the truth, he picked up a club to beat me. I subdued him, and he thought I was going to force him. He couldn't fight to the death, so he had to obey me reluctantly, hoping that I wouldn't kill his young son. But he found out that I simply found that the roof of his house was collapsing and came to save him. I didn't beat his young son to death, and I treated the three orphans and widower kindly. At this time, the handsome little widower found that I was handsome and handsome, and thought to himself, it's not impossible to obey her, she looks like a decent lady."

Luo San: "..."

After a long while, he managed to utter, "Didn't you pierce the roof?"

Shen Tang nodded in acknowledgment, and then argued: "Isn't it because the roof has been in disrepair for a long time that I poked it a few times? It doesn't matter whether the roof is broken or not. What's important is that the little widower has completely followed me after this incident."

"…Is this old man also that little widower?"

This really cannot be substituted.

The lady laughed and said, "How can Luo Hou be a little widower?"

Luo Sanshi was sensible and didn't get to the bottom of the matter.

He rubbed his brows.

Maybe he had lived too long, or maybe he had a good temper, he didn't care about Shen Tang's teasing. It was still the old saying, in troubled times, the strong are respected. He was powerful, so what difference did it make whether he was a "little widower" or a "little widow" in front of her?
"No wonder the lady gets along so well with that bastard Gong Xichou."

These two are indeed birds of a feather.

＿|￣|●

There are only two days left in December, so hang in there.

May this year end smoothly and everything go smoothly in the coming year.

PS: Speaking of which, I am very worried. It has been a long time since Tui Zhen was serialized, and the average subscription has not increased. It is still the second best seller. Will you starve to death if you publish a new book in March?
