Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 1223 Chapter 1223: Come on, Zai Zhong (Part 1) [Asking for monthly votes]

"I've met my ancestors."

Outside the camp, the young man was very proud that he had borrowed flowers to offer sacrifices to the Buddha and was able to win over the military commander without spending a penny. But before the joy could reach his brows, the general opposite him suddenly clasped his fists behind him and saluted, as if he had seen someone terrifying.

The boy reacted suddenly.

He immediately put away his unnecessary expression and bowed deeply to the herb collector with a respectful and humble attitude. Looking up again, there was only admiration in his eyes. As a down-and-out child, he knew that everything in front of him was brought about by this cheap ancestor, how could he dare to be scornful?

The medicine collector raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite.

"What were you talking about just now? You sounded happy?"

Although the young man was scheming, he had not practiced it well enough. He could not distinguish the true emotions in the medicine collector's words, and was worried whether the other party really did not hear it, or whether he knew and asked. However, the general next to him reacted quickly and said, "The young man just asked the general for advice."

The medicine collector glanced at the other party lightly.

"Oh? What did he ask you for?"

The implication is, what is the confusion that makes me unable to talk to him, an ancestor, but having to bow to a half-hearted outsider?

Just one glance made the hairs on the general's body stand up, and his scalp felt itchy and numb, as if hundreds of ants were crawling over him. The military general swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva nervously, resisting the urge to use his martial energy to resist the pressure of the herb collector, and said: "I'm asking for advice on how to settle the female prisoners who were rewarded by the Lord... Xiaolang is young and kind-hearted, and he doesn't want women and children to suffer. bully…"

The young man doesn't understand, but the general understands a little.

In the era when the medicine collector lived, killing was common and even more cruel than today. At their most ferocious, warlords fought against each other, and revenge and revenge were commonplace. The wars became more and more crazy, and every battle involved rape, robbery, and even massacre, so that every household was covered with silk.

At that time, men's youth was rapidly declining, and women not only had to work hard to have children, but also had to bear most of their livelihoods. Even so, the speed of childbirth and childbirth still cannot keep up with the butcher knife of warlords.

The population has been cut in half repeatedly, and the forces of all parties have also failed to recover.

Under the pressure of a sharp decline in population, the major warlord forces had to reach a certain tacit agreement, whether fighting or plundering, to spare the lives of female prisoners as much as possible. Herb collectors who came from that era may not understand the practice of using female prisoners as military prostitutes to reward soldiers. The general didn't know whether his speculation was right or wrong. Fortunately, the medicine collector's reaction gave him reassurance.

He raised his eyelids: "Oh? How do you want to deal with it?"

The young man's face turned pale as he listened.

He didn't dare to interrupt, praying in his heart that the general would not answer wrongly.

Fortunately, this military general came to his wits in a hurry and was also eloquent: "These female prisoners were given by the Lord and they are noble women of Youguo. Their status is special and it is difficult to release them at will. The general is going to send someone to make inquiries. , see if there are any soldiers of suitable age who have done meritorious service but are not yet married, and match them up to create a marriage, which will also show the Lord's kindness to the humble and the weak. "

"Pity the lowly and the weak? Ha, he is somewhat human."

The medicine collector left with his hands behind his back.

The young man opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

He inadvertently looked into the dark pupils of his ancestor, and the pores all over his body exploded in an instant, his mind went blank, and he almost lost the ability to think. When he came to his senses, he was surprised to find that the inner lining was wet with sweat at some point, and the soft satin was sticky against his skin.

The other party's slightly playful words came into my ears.

"...You can't forget your origins. I remember that your ancestors also faced rough circumstances. As her heir, you don't have to say how to honor your ancestors, but at least you shouldn't rub salt into the wounds." The herb collector dropped these words before leaving, with a tone that sounded like Too impatient.

The boy didn't dare to move until the medicine collector had left for a long time.

His cheeks burned badly, and all kinds of embarrassment surged up. He didn't know whether it was because the herb collector's right to dispose of the things thrown to him was interfered with, or because the "gift" promised to others was forced to be withdrawn, or because he learned that My ancestors also encountered this kind of thing, and they were told frankly in front of outsiders. The young man relied on his family background, illustrious ancestors, and innocent life experience. Even if he is now in dire straits, his bloodline will bring him back to the clouds...

The appearance of Cui Zhi and the medicine collector convinced him of this.

But he didn't want his ancestor to expose him personally.

The military commander could tell at a glance that the boy was uncomfortable, so he found an excuse to leave. Continuing to stay here would only make people uncomfortable.

The medicine collector had no idea about the boy's psychological activities.

Even if you know, you can't understand what the other person is thinking.

When he was young, let alone ordinary people, not even nobles from aristocratic families or the royal family could have enough to eat every day, nor could everyone be covered with silk and satin. Survival is still a problem, who still worries about the crotch issues between men and women?

Ever since he learned that he was alive by blood, the medicine collector couldn't help but recall the details of that year. I think about it every day and dream about it at night. I remember some details in my dreams these days. He vaguely remembered that the other party was a young widowed woman and her last name.

Born into a wealthy family, life was not easy.

She was captured when the city was destroyed, and her luck was given to a pretty good man, who protected her and her family members for two years. It's just that the man was unlucky, and his life was taken away by a stray arrow during a certain attack on the city. Huanyi Nu followed her few relatives and wandered all the way, and found other tribesmen who were kind and willing to take her in and give her a place to live.

The Huanyi girl in the dream has a pair of hands covered with thick calluses. She relies on others and has to do everything by herself, including all menial and tiring work. That day when they were entangled by the stream, all he could think about was curiosity and the novelty of experiencing clouds and rain for the first time, and he didn't pay much attention to anything else.

Compared with most ordinary women at that time, Huanyi Nu was lucky. She at least lived to the end of her life and had her descendants around her. But these are not enough to erase the pain of the early years. As her descendants, we should not be ashamed not to pity our ancestors.

After all, he was not the one who watched the child being born or raised. The herb collector was not very close to the boy, and he could only give little advice. It's best if you can understand it, it doesn't matter if you can't understand it...

The bloodline he longs for is the bloodline that can inherit everything he has.

It's not like he's not picky about anything.

The young man knew that he had offended his patron, so he turned around and went to the Cui family leader for advice. Cui Zhi is an uncle who is a family friend, so the other party will definitely not ignore him. If he can establish a good relationship with Cui Zhi, he will become a big help in the future and help him rebuild the glory of his family!

What happened here soon reached the ears of the Lord of Qi State. She puffed out smoke and stared at the white jade cigarette holder in her hand with great interest: "...I thought he was a murderous master, but I didn't expect that he was also a lover of flowers. People are fine in their roughness.”

"Lord, those prisoners?"

The leader of Qi State said: "Just do what you have to do."

Except for the female prisoners who were targeted by the medicine collector, all other prisoners, regardless of gender, were treated according to the old rules. Those who deserved were killed and those who deserved rewards were rewarded. She saw Qi Cang sitting in the corner wandering in his thoughts, and deliberately named Qi Cang and asked Qi Cang's opinion on this matter.

What can Qi Cang think?

Now he just passes the time by watching other people lively.

When the fun is not enough, he will deliberately provoke a fight: "I don't care about this at the end, I just think that if Mei Nujun knows about this, she will try her best to write a letter to stop it..."

In Qi Cang's view, Mei Meng is a woman who knows how to survive. She knows very well that if she wants to survive in a crisis-ridden environment, she cannot do it with the strength of one person alone. It is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. Waiting for Chehou to be beaten to death.

It is only right to win over allies as much as possible.

Not only does he win over every woman who can cultivate internally, but he also makes his appearance externally. After Mei Meng came to power, in every war won by the Qi State in foreign wars, the captured women could not be rewarded and rewarded as casually as before, and the soldiers were rewarded. In order to appease the sergeant's dissatisfaction, Mei Meng made up for it in material terms. Most of the loot was given to the sergeant, and the military salary was sufficient. The effect was considered satisfactory.

Although this move offended a group of people, the compensation was adequate and the resistance encountered was not as great as expected. At the same time, it also attracted a group of allies for Mei Meng. This group of allies started too late and the growth time is too short. If you want to see benefits from these people, you still need to wait patiently. Mei Meng has this patience, but the leader of Qi State does not.

When Mei Meng woos allies, her interests are the first to be harmed.

The lion's share of the loot should have been hers. The loss of profits can be seen with the naked eye, but the gains will be more than ten or even decades later. Who knows what the situation will be like at that time? Is she still the owner of the land beneath her feet?

Hearing Qi Cang mention Mei Meng, the king's face darkened visibly, and he said, "Jinghe will understand Gu's difficulties."

Military generals are not that easy to drive.

These are all jackals, tigers and leopards who don’t show their flesh and don’t show their mouths.

Mobilize their enthusiasm for fighting and make them willing to sacrifice their lives to conquer the city. Gold, silver, jewelry and the power of beauties are the most direct and effective stimulation! Fighting requires money, governance requires money. Instead of spending your own money, it is better to spend the enemy's money to do your own thing.

It's not that she doesn't understand Mei Meng's intention.

It just felt so stupid and thankless.

She is the head of the country, the head of the country who holds the power of life and death, and those who are beneficial to her power are her allies! Power is her ally! The enemy's woman is just a resource for her to achieve her goal! Why pity? Why risk offending your own people to be kind? Which high-ranking person in the past and present did not rise to the top by stepping on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood? How can a foot-stepping thing be divided into men and women?

She only cares about immediate gains and losses.

Qi Cang mentally shrugged and said, "Maybe."

Not long after, Cui Zhi came to see him.

Qi Cang was very discerning and resigned, leaving some space. After walking out of the tent, he looked face to face with Cui Zhi, squinting slightly to try to see the man's thoughts. He opened his mouth with a strange tone: "Who else is Cui Gong planning to introduce to the Lord?"

Cui Zhi smiled and said nothing.

Qi Cang deliberately pinched his throat: "Cui Gong is now a popular person beside the Lord, but I have something to say to you. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, let alone a tigress."

Cui Zhi went straight to the point: "General, you might as well speak frankly."

"Mei Jinghe was plotted by you?"

Cui Zhi looked directly at Qi Cang's scrutiny with a calm expression: "The general's words are an injustice. Didn't she commit suicide by committing suicide?"

Why did the villain file the complaint first?

Why didn't you say that his wife Cui Hui almost died at the hands of Mei Meng?

Qi Cang snorted heavily, rolled his eyes and left.

Cui Zhi did not regard Qi Cang as a threat.

Qi Cang is a rebellious person, a white-eyed wolf who can betray at any time. If I really want to say that I am sincere, it would be for Zheng Qiao back then. After all, Zheng Qiao was really generous to Qi Cang, and the two of them had the same chemistry, so it was hard not to get along. The current king wants to do what Zheng Qiao did and surrender to Qi Cang? Not likely.

He might be stabbed in the back by Qi Cang one day.

The king didn't care about the conversation between Qi Cang and Cui Zhi outside the tent. She only cared about how Cui Zhi was doing. Cui Zhi was a little surprised by the eagerness of the king: "...As far as I know, Gongyang Yongye seriously injured the famous general of Kang State with a huge advantage and returned with a great victory. There is no brave warrior in Kang State who is more troublesome than Gong Xiqiu... "

As for Shen Youli being slightly better than Gong Xiqiu?

This is all news from a few years ago.

Lord Shen was concentrating on taking care of state affairs and handling state affairs. How could he have so much time to practice? He was probably left behind by Gong Xiqiu.

Taking Gongxi Qiu was a blow to the morale of Kang State.

The king was still dissatisfied and even urged Cui Zhi.

The leader of Qi State could only tell the small details of the recent past, and sighed: "...As the saying goes, one can only tell by seeing the slightest, but I feel that Gongyang Yongye is not the same person. Even if he is asked to repay a favor and ask him to surrender and help for a while, it is after all an external force and cannot be relied on for a long time. ”

The herb collector won't help her for long.

But Kang Guo will always be a hidden danger unless he is killed.

She will naturally be impatient.

Before that, she had one more thing to do.

"...Every member of the Youguo clan has been taken. Youguo has been completely destroyed. Let's have people write a message to tell the world. Let's see how Shen Youli responds. Will she shamelessly continue to mess around, or will she retreat with the knowledge? !”

Gong Xiqiu suffered a great loss and did not know whether he would live or die.

Shen still has sense, so she should reconsider.

Just because there will be a battle sooner or later doesn't mean it has to start now.

Not long after it was sent out, Shen Tang responded quickly, and the content of the response was quite rude. The leader of the State of Qi ignored the insults and long nonsense that made the Three Corpse Gods furious, and refined the core of the article - the leader of the State of You had already predicted Qi State's prediction, and guessed that Qi State would be ruthless, so he took a backup plan. , send Youguo Zongji to Kangguo territory in advance!

This Zong Ji is the last bloodline of Youwang royal family!

If she doesn't die, who can say that You Country has been destroyed? If she doesn't shed the last drop of her blood, who can say that Youguo has no hope of recovery?

The leader of Qi State almost broke his pipe.

His fangs rubbed together and he let out a few curses in dialect.

"...Does the person named Shen still want to be embarrassed?"

Who can prove that this Youguo Zongji is real? Could it be that the person named Shen found someone to disguise himself? The Qi State questioned Zong Ji's identity and took out the royal family tree of King You. They were the members of the Youguo clan who were slaughtered according to their genealogy. Where did they slip through the net?

The Youguo clan girl was so angry that she vomited blood.

A mouthful of blood spilled all over the ground, and his face turned pale.

As the bad news of the destruction of You Kingdom and the massacre of her clan came, she was devastated. I knew Qi Guo was ruthless, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless! After the grief, there is overwhelming hatred! There was only blood left in the world, and the word revenge was filled in his mind.

Revenge is easier said than done.

No friends, all alone.

What could she use to get revenge against the powerful country in the southwest?

unless-

She made a desperate move and pinned all her hopes on Shen Tang.

As if a drowning person is grasping the only straw, she grabbed the hem of Shen Tang's clothes, looked up and begged: "The common people ask for nothing, only ask for her - a thousand! Knives! Ten thousand! Cut! I only want her to die a good death!"

Hey, sigh, when I buy a car, aren’t other people treating me to congratulate me? Why am I treating you? I emptied my wallet when I bought a small car (I dug out my pockets and found not a single penny was missing. JPG) Now it’s fine. Two banquets were promised. It happened that my cousins ​​joined the army and came back to visit relatives, so we might as well celebrate together (I You have to eat as much as you can with an open stomach!)
