stand back, let me come

The ominous premonition in Shen Tang's heart was quickly confirmed.

This is indeed a big demon wind.

The city walls are dilapidated, the streets are bleak, and the buildings still have scorched black marks after the fire, as if this place is a dead city with no people.Shen Tang rode a motorcycle into the city, and what he saw was such a scene.After walking for a long time, I finally saw a few curled up figures nestled in the ruins, picking something up.She turned over and jumped off the motorcycle, and stepped forward without hesitation, trying to get closer to one of them.

"My lord—"

Xun Ding looked at Shen Tang nervously.

Shen Tang waved his hand to signal him not to be too nervous.

"I'm fine, just looking."

If there was anything in the city that could threaten her life, the city would not be breached within half a day.Shen Tang put his hands on his knees, bent down, and approached the old woman.At this moment, the weather has not completely warmed up, and the old woman is wearing a thin jacket, the outer layer of the jacket is worn out, and there is not even a filling reed inside.The exposed skin was frostbitten, some chapped and oozing pus.

"Old woman, what are you doing?"

The old woman is getting old and her ears are not very good.

Shen Tang asked three times in a row, but the other party didn't respond, his skinny body shivering in the cold wind.She raised her hand and took off the coat to cover the old man, only then did the other party notice Shen Tang, and turned his head tremblingly.

Those were a pair of extremely cloudy eyes.

When she looked down and saw the clothes draped over her shoulders, she fell to the ground as if she had just woken up from a dream, and hid back in panic and fear.Only then did Shen Tang see clearly what the old man was holding in his hand, it was actually a little bit of moss.Shen Tang raised his hand and waved Xun Ding back, signaling him to stay away from him so that he wouldn't scare people with his big size.Wait until the other party's mood is stable: "Old woman, can I ask you something?"

The old lady didn't know why Shen Tang came.

Shen Tang said: "Where did the young and strong in the city go?"

When attacking the city, Shen Tang carefully discovered that the defenders were all aged veterans. Although there were generals defending the city, they were all white-haired veterans who were not strong, and there were no young and strong figures after entering the city.She vaguely had an answer in her heart, but she didn't dare to think about it.

The old woman's breathing was unsteady and her words were vague.

Careful identification can still hear what she said.

She said: "Let's go...all go..."

The old woman carefully identified Shen Tang's clothes with her cloudy eyes, and seeing that she was dressed cleanly and decently, she suddenly knelt down on her knees, trying to close her knuckles covered with frostbite, which were stiff and unable to straighten, and begged for alms to Shen Tang in a gesture of obeisance. .Shen Tang asked Xun Ding to bring the food, and the old woman was so excited that she wanted to kowtow, but Shen Tang stopped her with her hand: "Old man, don't do this—"

After getting the food, the old lady didn't eat it by herself.

Instead, he waved at the ruins not far away.

After a while, a thin, dark figure climbed out of there, and staggered to the side of the old woman.The old lady carefully tore off a small piece and fed it to the child.People nearby who saw this scene also gathered together and knelt down towards Shen Tang.

They all came to beg for food.

Of course, there are also people with fierce eyes.

It's just that Xun Ding, who is tall and burly around Shen Tang, dare not make mistakes.Shen Tang asked Xun Ding to take all the rations. At this moment, she couldn't care about anything else, and a more terrifying idea quietly emerged, and at the same time, it made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar...

I'm afraid this city is really not young and strong.

Only old people and children are left.

After a while, Xu Quan arrived on horseback with a bad expression on his face: "My lord, before we arrived, the chief of this place led the young and strong to retreat, and all the food and property in the city were looted and taken away. Before leaving, a big fire was set, and the buildings in the city retreated. Burned more than half of it."

Some families even hid food, barely able to survive for a few days.

More people are facing the desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food.

The old woman beside me was looking for moss in the corner just now.It's just that she is old and weak, and what she finds will be snatched away by someone with a better body.When Xu Quan came, he also saw someone demolishing the mud on the wall, which was mixed with reeds and hay to satisfy hunger.

Shen Tang was shocked by the news brought by Xu Quan.

She muttered in her mouth: "Absolutely done, absolutely done!"

Shen Tang thought that the enemy chose to fortify the wall and clear the field to defend to the death, trying to block their progress as much as possible.But he didn't know that the other party was even more ruthless.Take away the young and strong, leave the old and weak, and the city is running out of ammunition and food.Shen Tang and others came later, are there any living people in this city?She looked at the person who almost came forward to snatch the food, and frantically stuffed it into his mouth after grabbing it, she didn't dare to think about it.

"Yong'an, go find your father and arrange for someone to set up a shed for porridge..." Shen Tang regretted not bringing Lin Feng out. If she was there, the food pressure would be much less, but Lin Feng stayed in the four Baojun is also for cotton, so it is difficult to choose.

Xun Ding said: "Master, our food is also..."

The food that Shen Tang brought out was abundant.

After that, two batches of supplies from the rear were also received.

But according to the current situation, food is simply not enough.

Shen Tang could not doubt it: "Do it!"

Xun Ding had no choice but to cup his fists in response: "The general will follow orders."

Shen Tang's actions were not hidden from the three allies.

Tao Yan tutted his tongue and said, "Our gentleman Shen really does what he says, but I don't know how many properties you have that can withstand such a waste." There are also a lot of old and weak people in the city.

The consumption of this open mouth is not much less than that of a young man.The young and the strong can still fight for them after eating food, but it is useless to feed the old and the weak.Tao Yan is now on fire, wishing that Shen Tang would take out all the food to do such a stupid thing without reward.

Shen Tang was in a very bad mood.

Slanting eyes scorned Tao Yan: "Hehe, the filial sons and grandsons have also started pointing at your ancestor's pocket? Even if I bring your ancestor into the coffin, it will not be your turn to take advantage of it. I don't want your bean sprouts to be kicked again. Close your eyes." Your backyard flower."

Tao Yan stared at Shen Tang with a livid face.

But he didn't dare to continue provocation this time.

It's useless to be beaten by a sick fool.

What Shen Tang didn't expect was that she thought that the three allies would stand on the sidelines, but Qian Yong was the first to lend a helping hand.Of course, he didn’t pay for food——Qian Yong has been relying on his classmate Zhang He all these years, Zhang He pays for the food and money to land the land, and he helps the opponent fight—basically, he eats one meal and worries about the next meal. .However, he still has some people on hand.

It's no problem to send someone over to fight.

Shen Tang looked at him suspiciously and warily.

Qian Yong grinned, and said: "Why is Shen Jun so on guard? You are not the only one who is a human, and everyone else is a beast. But, to say something that is not very pleasant, Shen Jun is doing this kind of thing. It’s thankless and unrequited.”

Realizing that Qian Yong didn't have any malicious intentions, it was rare for Shen Tang to let go of his guard, and responded quietly: "They are rewarded for living."

Qian Yong slapped his thigh and sighed, "We should really let Zhang Yongqing come over and see what the living Great Saint looks like."

Shen Tang thought he was acting weird and didn't want to pay attention.

Unexpectedly, Qian Yong also took the initiative to explain: "This old man has no malicious intentions. I'm complimenting you, really. Although the relationship between our two families is not good, this old man has to tell the truth from the bottom of his heart-if you don't accept anything in your life, you will be convinced." Youli's heart."

Qian Yong didn't want to intervene at first.

But seeing that Shen Tang not only said but actually did it, he felt that he should do something too, how embarrassing it looked.

If he can't afford food, he can afford a person.

In the end, he wanted to ask Shen Tang a question.

Qian Yong held it in his heart for a long time.

"Does Shen Jun have no worldly desires?"

Shen Tang: "???"

This question is a bit dangerous.

Fortunately, what Qian Yong said later turned the topic in a normal direction: "People live for the rest of their lives, either for fame and wealth, or for fragrant cars and BMWs, or for the red sleeves of beauties...Shen Jun seems to be too strict with himself, which is really true. Not like a person."

Shen Tang was silent for a while.

You complained: "Actually, I love money very much."

Qian Yong thought in a trance that his tinnitus was wrong.

"love money?"

Shen Tang said helplessly: "It's fate to lose money."

Whoever spreads out such a group of wonderful scribes who use up their lords will be empty-handed.What else can she do besides wanting?But her truth fell into Qian Yong's ears, but it became a perfunctory excuse.He also didn't take Shen Tang's answer to heart.

After Qian Yong left, Shen Tang turned his head and whispered to Gu Chi.

"Why do I feel that Uncle Qian is seducing me?"

This man is deliberately showing his favor, trying to get her attention?

Gu Chi chose to ignore it, and extracted key information: "He is showing his favor to the lord, trying to repair the relationship between the two. Uncle Qian and Zhang Yongqing have a delicate relationship. The two are still friendly on the surface, but there are frequent conflicts behind the scenes. Zhang Yongqing thinks If he wanted to get rid of Uncle Qian and this burden, wouldn't he have to look for someone to marry? It would be great if the lord could accept him..."

Qian Yong most wanted a piece of his own territory, to take root in the business, but he kicked the iron plate at the side of Shen Tang, who seemed to be a soft persimmon, and his vitality was seriously injured.He continued to participate in the Dragon Slaying Bureau in order to take the opportunity to find a foothold, but the hope was slim at the moment.

Since you can't stand on your own, then continue to rely on it.

Being attached to Zhang He is hanging, and being attached to Shen Tang is also hanging.

Even if there is hatred, as long as Shen Tang's character can stand the test, it is also a guarantee for Qian Yong.It's just that for others, Qian Yong's closeness may be a good thing, but Shen Tang's territory is not much, and there is no excess for Qian Yong.If she accepts Qian Yong, she will have to pay for food, which is not cost-effective.

Therefore, Shen Tang pretended that he didn't know about it.

But he didn't reject Qian Yong's overtures.

Having fewer enemies is always a good thing.

Zhang He didn't give Shen Tang too much time to deal with the aftermath. The war is about a soldier who is very fast, taking advantage of the high morale, and going all out to make another victory.But the result is obvious, the destination of the attack is playing a familiar scene, only the old and the weak are left in the city, no young and old, no food.Zhang He said: "The enemy has sinister intentions and deliberately used this trick to consume our food and grass."

Specifically-

Only Shen Tang's family was consumed.

Tao Yan deliberately raised his voice, and said in a strange way: "The battle opportunity must not be delayed, we should join forces with the leader and the others as soon as possible, and gather troops to attack Qianzhou. Don't lose the big because of small things."

Shen Tang hasn't slept peacefully for the past few days.

The consequences of lack of sleep are temper tantrums: "Did you enter the silkworm room and get stabbed? You speak harshly and get mixed up in the inner prison. You really can't tell who is the real eunuch and who is the fake eunuch. Or— —all real eunuchs?”

Because of Tao Yan's repeated offenses, Shen Tang subconsciously felt sick when he heard his voice, and looked away without waiting for the other party's rebuttal.

The more she ignored her, the more annoyed Tao Yan became.When I went back to plan with my wife, an idea popped up when I rolled my eyes.

"Tao Shenyu is a villain, hmph, a dog can't change eating shit." Thinking that the deaths of his grandfather and father were related to such a villain, Gu Chi felt ashamed for the two elders.He was the first to discover the problem, so he made a decisive decision and ordered the arrest and delivery to Shen Tang.

Shen Tang looked at the two trembling soldiers below.

The clothes on the soldiers are their own.

"Shaoxuan, what's going on?"

Bai Su, who was named, stepped forward and cupped his fists, and replied: "My lord, these two are spreading rumors in the camp to shake the morale of the army!"

Shen Tang was still at a loss.

She was not a success in running the army, but she was not a failure either.

Now that she has not lost a battle, why did her soldiers backstab her?After some interrogation, Shen Tang found out what was going on, and sneered again and again.

This matter is not complicated.

The relationship between Tao Yan and Shen Tang is very bad, but with so many soldiers, it is inevitable that there will be some contact.The two soldiers in front of them got some benefits from the soldiers under Tao Yan's tent. They also heard that Shen Tang had good intentions and embezzled the army's salary to help the elderly and weak.It would be fine if it was only part of it, but if the army had less than half a month left of food, it would be a big problem.

The two soldiers didn't believe it at first.

But it can't stand the opponent's money offensive.

Taking advantage of others, it is natural to do things for others.It's not a big problem to just spread a specious news in private to let everyone know that the military salary has been embezzled.Moreover, there are many people who know about it, and there are many people who pass it on, so we can't find them.

That's what they thought, by chance.

The more Shen Tang listened, the more gloomy his face became.

It was also the first time for the two soldiers to see Shen Tang at such a close distance, and they felt the faint chill and coercion on each other's body, and felt vaguely afraid.In the first place, Shen Tang asked blankly: "Do you know how harmful this rumor will be if it spreads?"

Shaking morale is still the lightest result.

Some serious ones may even cause mutiny!

The two soldiers shrugged and shook their heads.

In their view, this is just talk.

How serious can a topic used to pass the time be?

"Then do you know that this is betrayal? According to the military law, the lightest is a cut in the waist?" Shen Tang raised her voice suddenly, grabbed something at hand and threw it in front of them, her anger made her want to kill Tao Yan's dog coin regardless, "You guys This is courting death!"

They really don't know it's wrong to do so?

Know it, but do it anyway.

"Shaoxuan, leave it to you to deal with, kill it cleanly."

"only!"

Only then did the two soldiers beg for mercy in a panic, Bai Su crushed their mandibles with one hand, and said coldly, "Drag out!"

After the tent was cleared, Shen Tang rubbed the base of his nose tiredly: "Wang Chao, fortunately you found it in time this time...I never thought that Tao Shenyu, a bitch, would be so painful to bite someone out of the blue. Even if it wasn't for you, I also want to kill his whole family from top to bottom. A family should be reunited and neat!"

Gu Chi persuaded: "Please calm down, my lord."

Shen Tang waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm not angry, and I haven't lost my mind. On the contrary, I'm sober now, unprecedentedly sober. Why am I angry with a beast? This kind of bug that jumps up and down is just jumping up and down now." .”

Gu Chi: "..."

She also said that she was not angry, and even said that she killed the whole family from top to bottom. You must know those moths in Longwu County who did a lot of evil, she just killed the bandit leader and spared the women and children.
