Back Off, Let Me Come

  Chapter 217 217: Thirteen Brothers【Ask for a monthly ticket】

"The harvest is fair, and the loss is not big." The middle-aged man called "Ninth Brother" looked unhappy. He raised his hand to wipe his face, spat, and then said, "Let's not talk about this, now Brother, I have more important things to report to Big Brother."

  The new young general knew something bad had happened when he saw this.

  He said: "Brother is in charge of the account."

  The "Ninth Brother" pointed at Shen Tang and the others, and told his brothers: "These are met on the road for Brother Wei, you send someone to settle down, Brother Wei goes to see Big Brother first, and I will tell you in detail later."

  The young general looked at the three of Shen Tang curiously.

The first time I saw Shen Tang's face, I thought my brother had brought back a baby girl, but when I saw the Wenxin monogram on her waist, my inner activities turned into surprise—what a handsome and beautiful girl, who is better than applying makeup without powder Fu Fen, a young man with red lips and white teeth.

  His eyes swept over Qishan and the others inadvertently.

   Surprised!

  It turned out to be three literary scholars!

  As for the soldiers who took care of Duwei Yang in the carriage, and the soldiers who got off the carriage and led them were ignored. Gu Chi listened to his heart, and looked at Shen Tang with strange eyes. He knew that Shen Lang looked like a boy and a girl, but everyone's first impression was wrong...

   Alas, there are troubles with being good-looking.

   Gu Chi straightened the corners of his mouth, and slightly bowed his hands in salute.

  The "Ninth Brother" went to the tent in a hurry, and Shen Tang and the others were taken by the young generals to set up their tent. The location of the camp is not remote, but there are no secrets to be heard. There are tight patrols around, and every move is exposed under the eyes of others.

  In just a few steps, Shen Tang had already exchanged names and characters with the young general. The two were talking and laughing, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years. This young general's surname is "Chao", his first name is Lian, and his character is Qingzhi. He just passed his birthday a few days ago, and he is twenty-two.

  Shen Tang was curious: "Huh? The little general's surname is Chao?"

   Chao Lian replied: "Yes."

  Shen Tang asked: "Isn't the surname 'Gu'? I see 'Gu' on the flag outside the camp. Did you call me 'Big Brother' just now?"

   Chao Lian was taken aback by Shen Tang's question, and immediately explained dumbfoundingly: "No, no, Shen Lang misunderstood."

  He followed up with a brief explanation.

  He, elder brother and ninth brother are sworn brothers.

  There are a total of thirteen brothers, he is twelve, and there is a younger brother who is a few years younger than him at the end. The brothers have different backgrounds. Some of them are serious businessmen. Because of the turmoil in the current situation, the business cannot continue and they can only find another way out. Leading to a fatal disaster...

  Some were born in the market, some came from poor families, and some even worked as officials for several years.

  Shen Tang listened with gusto.

  She said: "Then you should be from the Lian family."

  This person's breath is stable, his steps are light, and his whole body is full of energy and blood. Looking at the thick calluses on his palms, it can't be saved by practicing for many years. Looking at him with a righteous spirit, clear eyebrows, and clear eyes, he must be a person with a good temperament.

  If Zhai Le is the most prosperous round of scorching sun in summer, then Chao Lian should be a clear spring under the moonlight in the midsummer night.

  It is refreshing to see it.

  Gu Chi pouted secretly.

   With this praise, where does the father-in-law look at his son-in-law?

  Chao Lian smiled kindly, and said a little shyly: "Shen Lang has good eyesight, his ancestors have joined the army for generations, no matter how big or small he is in the family, as long as he can walk, he must start practicing martial arts..."

  Shen Tang "exclaimed": "So strict?"

"After all, it is the foundation of one's life. When you are young and solidify your foundation, the chances of growing up steadily will be greater..." As he spoke, he remembered something, and his eyes and eyebrows were slightly dark and bitter, but he quickly returned Returning to normal, "I couldn't help myself for a while, I made Shen Lang laugh. Shen Lang, everyone, please—"

  He led Shen Tang and the others into the temporary camp.

  Yang Duwei was also carried out of the car by two soldiers.

   Seeing Yang Duwei who looked like a blood man, Chao Lian was secretly surprised. He didn't expect a living person to survive such a serious injury.

  Shen Tang: "Little general, is there a doctor in the camp?"

"Of course, it's just that the medical skills are limited. The martial artist Shen Lang is so seriously injured and his foundation is completely destroyed. Even if he can be saved..." Chao Lian's unfinished meaning—even if Shen Tang paid a lot of money and material resources. , the rescued person is just a useless person.

  Although Chao Lian's medical skills are only superficial, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child. As a brave fighter, he can still see some of Yang Duwei's injuries. Under the nervous and sad eyes of the two soldiers, Shen Tang sighed, "I know that."

   Chao Lian moved very fast.

   Not long after, someone came with a medicine box.

  Chao Lian called him "Sixth Brother", but this "Sixth Brother" was not a warrior, but a Wenxin scholar with a thick goatee, and the Wenxin monogram on his waist was a very rich khaki. With Shen Tang and the others watching, he carefully took Yang Duwei's pulse.

   After a face-to-face meeting, he told about Yang Duwei's situation.

  He asked: "This person spontaneously ignited his courage not long ago?"

  Shen Tang said: "Yes, I met a strong enemy."

  He stroked his beard and said, "That must be a very powerful enemy."

  Three Wenxin scribes were present, and they were reduced to an ending where they could only barely escape by burning their courage... How terrifying is the enemy?

  "Sixth Brother" Fu Xu was thinking about treatment strategies.

Not long after, he came up with an idea: "Wu Dan cannot be saved. But this person has a profound background, and there is still undissipated martial energy in his meridians. The martial energy in the meridian stays for a while longer, and then find a warrior to replenish his energy, nourished by martial energy, keep the heart pulse uninterrupted, and with the help of decoction, he will be able to recover in one month at the latest."

  Shen Tang heaved a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

  The sixth brother waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's just a doctor's job."

   Chao Lian helped the sixth brother to carry the medicine box on his back, took the prescription he had prescribed and asked the soldiers to catch him, and told the soldiers to watch carefully and not be careless.

  Watching the two of them leave, Gu Chi was thoughtful.

  Qi Shan poured himself a glass of water, moistened his dry throat and lips, and asked, "Is there something wrong with these two?"

  Gu Chi pointed at himself: "Are you asking me?"

   "If you don't ask, who do you ask?"

Qishan felt that the "sixth brother" was not a good person, in order not to startle the snake, he didn't use the words of the mind-peeping person to test - it's okay not to be discovered, once it is discovered, it may be regarded as an unfriendly provocation - Gu Chi's way of literati is different.

   As long as he doesn't say it himself, basically no one will find out.

  Gu Chi laughed and said, "It's too natural for you to order people around."

   Praying for kindness: "Who put you and me in the same boat."

  If the boat leaks, everyone will die together. Even if Gu Chi can swim, he will pull Gu Chi into the water together!

  Gu Chi: "..."

   His face was so dark that he could compare with the ash at the bottom of the pot to see who was darker.

  He reluctantly said: "There is nothing wrong with that Chao Lian, but the newcomer is not easy. He has roughly guessed the identity of Captain Yang, and he is also suspicious of the origins of me and others..."

  Qi Shan asked: "Is there any malice?"

   "There is no malice, but there is a desire to solicit."

  Pray for kindness and hear the words, and I am relieved for the most part.

   Now we have to find out the details of these forces.

   This job was originally intended to be handed over to Gu Chi—such a good spy, while he can still go whoring, he can go whoring for nothing.

   Who knows that the person who is more suitable than Gu Chi is Shen Tang.

  This house girl who thinks she has "slight social phobia" used the excuse to go out to look at the decoction, but she has already inquired about the news when she came back. She raised her head and drank a bowl of water, hiccupped when she finished drinking, and asked the two of them, "Have you ever heard of Taoyuan being sworn brothers?"

  Pray for goodness: "..."

  Gu Chi: "..."

Shen Tang slapped his thigh and said: "This faction is almost the plus version of Taoyuan Jieyi - I mean the number of people, ten more than Liu Guanzhang! There are thirteen brothers in total, each with their own abilities. Their eldest brother is Gu Ren, He was originally a son of a poor family. He was recruited by a mentor at fifteen, lost his wife at twenty-five, and was recruited by the local county magistrate. He lost his wife at thirty-five. His current wife is the daughter of a local wealthy gentry. At the age of fifteen, someone calculated with a magic stick, saying that his wife might suffer bloodshed this year..."

  Pray for goodness: "..."

   Is there something wrong with his teaching method? Why does Mr. Shen Xiaolang always become extremely excited and energetic when he mentions these news?

Gu Chi said: "I have heard about Gu Ren. It is said that he is good at giving, donating rice porridge, building bridges and roads, and often helping poor families. He is known as a 'benevolent man'... Many diners volunteer His disciples are willing to serve him for free..."

  Qi Shan's eyes became subtle.

have a look-

  Seriously ask about the difference between gossip and intelligence.

Shen Tang continued: "This is true. Many soldiers in the camp heard that Gu Ren was going to raise an army and voluntarily followed. Although there are not many people, his other twelve brothers have their own areas of expertise. It’s doing a decent job.”

  Qi Shan said: "It's not easy."

   Volunteering to follow the battlefield, what a good reputation is this?

   I don’t know if this reputation is really good?

   Or fake?

Shen Tang also took time to wander to the next-door camp, and heard a different evaluation - doing good deeds and accumulating virtue also requires capital, Gu Ren is originally a child of a family who has fallen into poverty, his family is so poor that he needs help from others, but he will marry a wife .

  Besides, Yue’s family is either an only child or the son’s ability is weak, unable to support the lintel. His son-in-law was recruited by the old father-in-law to treat him like a half-son. In the early days, he relied on the support of his Yue family and his wife to make a fortune, otherwise he would not be able to manage such a good reputation.

   At first glance, it seems to be a scumbag template.

   But it's strange that the former Yue's family is very satisfied with him. Even if the daughter is gone, even if the son-in-law becomes someone else's son-in-law, they are still full of praise. From the perspective of reputation alone, Gu Ren's true "person lives up to his name", which arouses the sour jealousy of the camp next door.

  Shen Tang took stock of the thirteen brothers one by one.

   Like a few treasures.

   Let me focus on that "sixth brother".

  I heard that he used to be an imperial physician who served the court of the Xin Kingdom, and his medical skills were superb, but something happened a few years ago, he was demoted and warned, and almost lost his life. Deeply aware of the darkness in the official world, the royal family of Xin has no cure, resigns in anger and goes into seclusion, and travels around the world.

coincidentally-

   "He was the one responsible for Chu Ji's abortion back then."

   Chu State, the hometown of Chu Yao.

  Chu Ji, Chu Yao came to Xin Guo together as her dowry. Shen Tang didn't expect to meet someone related to this case, so that "sixth brother" should know something inside. It's just that Shen Tang didn't find out, maybe there will be a chance in the future.

  As for "Ninth Brother", that middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, used to make a living by robbing tombs and stealing, and he has practiced for many years without a single failure. Afterwards, he stole it on Gu Ren's head. Gu Ren had clearly discovered his tracks, but neither arrested nor reported him.

  Gu Ren sent someone to deliver a batch of money to the door the next day.

  I hope this little thief can change his mind and take the money back to buy a few acres of land, marry a beautiful wife, and live a good life. He hadn't been caught before, because the people who were stolen were ordinary people. If he stole into the house of a martial artist or a scholar of Wenxin, he would die if he was caught. The "ninth brother" found out that it was Gu Ren after inquiring, and came to the door with the stolen money on the third day.

  From then on, I changed my mind and started a new life.

   Gu Ren had a good talk with the twelve sworn brothers, and almost all of them had a good talk. When Shen Tang inquired about it, he listened with gusto.

  There are thirteen brothers, but the most powerful one is the youngest brother Thirteen. He was almost raised by Gu Ren as his son. It is said that he is born with supernatural power, but unfortunately, his mind is no different from that of a six-year-old child, and he also has some symptoms of madness.

  Don't listen to anyone, only Gu Ren.

In addition to Gu Ren and Gu Ren's twelve sworn brothers, Shen Tang also inquired about other news - such as the edict issued by Zheng Qiao, calling on the world's heroes to jointly attack the rebel forces headed by King Zhu. There are twelve ways!

   It said that there were twelve channels, but the actual number was more than this.

   There are not many troops in each route, but if they are all gathered together, they should be able to beat the rebels in terms of quantity. As for the quality—

   It depends on the actual combat.

  Not long before Shen Tang and the others came, Gu Ren's camp had a confrontation with a group of rebels. Gu Ren's side won a complete victory and captured more than a hundred people. The other road was more unlucky, they got a tie, and only relied on Gu Ren's assistance to drive the rebels away.

  Shen Tang was talking vigorously, and suddenly paused.

  At this time, the voice of a soldier came from outside the tent.

  That Gu Ren wants to meet them.

  Shen Tang stopped talking, and asked Qishan and the two with his eyes.

   It's not about whether or not we will meet, but who will be the representative to meet.

  The result is no suspense.

  Who made Shen Tang the "Lord Lord"?

  But Qishan was not at ease to let Shen Tang pass alone.

  Gu Chi was just here to join in the fun, to see what the rumored Gu Ren looks like, and to hear if this person is what he looks like.

  The location of the main account is a little far away from Shen Tang's side.

  When the three arrived, there were already several presences with strong auras in the tent, and they were also spotted. Opening the curtain, the first thing that catches the eye is the middle-aged man sitting at the top.

  This person has benevolent and gentle eyes, elegant and peaceful temperament, and no hostility in his body, giving people a kind and amiable initial impression.

  Although the actual age is already forty-five, but because of his strength and proper maintenance, he looks like he is in his early thirties.

  In addition to this man, there are Chao Lian, "Sixth Brother", "Ninth Brother", and two strange faces in the tent—these two are tall and tall, and they are like a thick wall just sitting. By visual inspection, the two stood up and were about the same height as Gong Shuwu.

  Shen Tang thought about his small body, and curled his lips inwardly.

  She also wants to breathe the high air

   They all looked at Shen Tang and the other three.

  The soldier replied: "My lord, the three gentlemen have arrived."
