Back Off, Let Me Come

Because Chu Yao handled the situation promptly and strictly sealed the news, the impact of Shen Tang's accidental injury was minimized.

Civil and military officials gathered outside the tent, looking towards the camp from time to time.

Most of them didn't know the details of Shen Tang's injury. They only knew that the central army had ordered a withdrawal in advance, and only after the troops were called off did they hear about the accident of their lord. This sudden news made everyone feel uneasy, and when they saw Chu Yao coming out, they immediately gathered around to inquire about the news.

"Prime Minister Chu, what happened to the Lord?"

"Prime Minister Chu, can we go in and see the Lord?"

Chu Yao was in a dilemma at the moment. He couldn't tell his colleagues that the Lord was defeated by the God Kang Wen again. First, his ribs were broken by a kick from the warhorse, and he was almost killed by anger. Then, he accidentally added fuel to the fire and broke his cervical vertebrae, right?

Military commanders who live on the edge of a sword all believe in gods and ghosts in their hearts, and they always choose an auspicious day with good military fortune to go to war.

If I say it now, it will really affect my confidence.

Chu Yao could only say: "My Lord, you have had some enlightenment this time, but due to the noise of the battlefield, your mind was not able to understand it clearly, and you were temporarily in a state of confusion. Fortunately, the problem was solved in time, and now your body is fine. You will be well after resting for half a day. You don't need to worry, and you can get busy."

What he said was very different from the news that had been circulating.

However, everyone present was a smart person. They not only knew Chu Yao's position in the master's heart, but also knew the master's position in Chu Yao's heart. In such a large country like Kang, if anyone would never betray the master, Chu Xiang would definitely be among the top, so naturally they were not worried that he would harm the master. Seeing that he looked tired, some people had doubts in their hearts but did not expose them. They accepted this explanation on the surface and bowed to leave.

Of course, Chu Yao only said these words to get rid of other people, but he couldn't hide them from Gu Chi, a veteran who was in the early stage of the business.

He looked strange: "Kang Jishou again?"

Chu Yao was helpless: "Besides him, who else could it be?"

An eighteenth-rank great minister was knocked down by a war horse?

Even if the quality of this warhorse is top notch, it can't do it. The difference between the two is like the difference between a tiger and Su Shang, the "cat pretending to be powerful" of Qishan's family - Su Shang can kick a tiger and break seven or eight ribs with one kick? It's really outrageous.

And Kang Shi, the plague god, can turn the impossible into possible.

As long as he is there, even the smallest probability can happen.

While paying attention to Chu Yao's expression, Gu Chi mentioned some details casually: "Didn't the Lord specifically tell General Chu to keep an eye on Ji Shou before he left for the battle? Given his personality, it's impossible for him not to pay attention. Could it be that he encountered a difficult battle?"

Either Chu Jie is unreliable or he has hit a wall.

Chu Yaojing was reminded of this and his face looked even worse. He suppressed his anger and said, "The master is asleep in the tent. Wang Chao, you should send someone to protect him. This is the most likely time for accidents. I will go check if there is any news from Chu Jie."

Gu Chi agreed immediately: "Of course."

He heard the master's cursing voice and knew that he had woken up. After seeing Chu Yao off, Gu Chi stepped into the main tent. What he saw was not the furious and manic master, but Shen Tang who was lying upright and staring blankly at the top of the tent. He looked like a bubble with colorful glass luster, which would burst into foam with a "pop" if touched lightly.

Quiet, haggard, pale, and weak.

Very beautiful and atmospheric.

Ignoring the ten dirty words she cursed out every second in her heart, even the goddess Nuwa would have to admit that this was her graduation project.

Gu Chi saluted, but Shen Tang ignored him.

Gu Chi said "Forgive me" directly and sat down quietly.

Shen Tang looked at the top of the tent, and he looked at Shen Tang. The stronger the Wudan warrior, the more sensitive he was to the gazes of the outside world. If someone stared at him for too long, he would feel uncomfortable like a maggot attached to his bones. The king and his ministers were in a stalemate for a while, and Shen Tang had to come back to his senses from the pain of "looking up at the sky at a 45-degree degree of sorrow" and took out a doll from under the quilt and threw it in front of his knees.

"My Lord, don't be angry. It will hurt your body."

Gu Chi put the doll back next to her.

Shen Tang said quietly, "I need a private space to greet the thief heaven. Are you coming over to enrich the vocabulary?"

Gu Chi's presence prevented her from expressing herself freely.

"Chi has already mastered the little vocabulary of the master."

Shen Tang: “…”

Well, this thing can’t be driven away even if you try.

If she didn't want to save face, she would have wanted to pull the quilt up and bury her head. No matter how bold Gu Chi was, he wouldn't dare to lift her quilt. She sighed helplessly and instructed Gu Chi: "Okay, don't sit there stupidly, peel some fruit for me."

After a while, the sound of Gu Chi's sleeves rubbing against each other was heard as he stood up.

But for a long time I didn't hear the sound of the blade peeling the fruit.

Shen Tang was told by Fang Yan not to turn her neck. She tried to look sideways but couldn't see what Gu Chi was doing. Just as she was about to ask if he didn't find it, she heard Gu Chi sigh, "The fruit is rotten."

Shen Tang: "... within expectations."

Gu Chi added: "A fruit was hollowed out by a small snake."

"What's good about a pile of rotten fruit?"

People who didn't know the truth thought she was abusing the minister.

As a result, Gu Chi reached out and picked up the last red fruit on the fruit plate. He took a bite and it was juicy, crisp, thick and thin. He praised: "It is worthy of being a tribute fruit."

Shen Tang: “…”

How can you tolerate this?

She picked up the doll next to her and threw it towards the sound.

This time it hit Gu Chi directly in the face.

Gu Chi didn't know how to sympathize with his master. He wanted to laugh but was afraid of making her angry, so he held it back until his face turned red and he couldn't breathe. Thinking that Kang Shi would inevitably be punished by his master when he came back this time, he was very happy to watch his colleagues suffer.

With his jokes, Shen Tang had no time to think about the social death he had experienced before he fell into a coma. He only needed to calm down a little, and his mood changed from greeting the God of Plague Kang Shi to worrying about the important official Ji Shou: "Did he send any news back?"

Without mentioning who this "he" is, Gu Chi knew it very well.

"Wuhui went to investigate and just left."

The news hasn't come back so quickly.

Shen Tang closed his eyes and thought for a while: "Wang Chao, have someone invite Gong Yang Yongye over. Please ask him to make the trip this time."

It is better to overdraw on "Huabei" than to get into trouble.

Gu Chi was not surprised at all. The lord's patience and love for Kang Shi were obvious to all. If it wasn't true love, which emperor would be willing to keep a plague god who brought disaster to his master around for more than ten years, and would not be willing to kill him even if his ribs were broken.

Hua Yuanhua wanted to give Cao Gong his head, but the latter was unwilling.

Gu Chi did not obey blindly: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

Most of the pressure on the front line is concentrated here, and Gongyang Yongye is a 19th-level Guannei Hou. Even if he is not sharp enough and cannot exert the strength that this realm should have, he can still make the enemy army on the opposite side tremble. If he is transferred away, the pressure on our side will be even greater.

In the past two days, we have been throwing stones at the catapults of the other side, not only to detect the strength of the other side's troops, but also to test the deep ravine under the long bridge. The bottom has indeed been tampered with, not only will the warriors feel heavy when they are in the air, and it is difficult to maintain a stable altitude, even the largest-scale boulders thrown by the catapults at full firepower will visibly reduce their altitude and speed when passing over the long bridge, and the landing distance is greatly different from the expected, and the lethality is also weakened.

We have sent people to investigate.

If you can find and destroy the center of the formation, attacking will save a lot of effort.

The impact of this formation is still one-sided.

Throwing attacks from Kangguo to the Changqiao Stone Fort had a negative impact on both people and siege equipment, while those thrown from the Stone Fort were normal. Gu Chi didn't know whether it was because of the direction or the judgment of the enemy and us.

"... Master, let's wait for the news before making a judgment?" Gu Chi didn't really want to tell Gong Yang Yongye or Luo San the news. As mentioned before, Wudan warriors tend to believe in gods and ghosts, and the stronger they are, the closer they are to the peak of martial arts, the more so. Shen Tang was in such a bad state after being defeated by Kang Shi. Gu Chi couldn't judge what the attitudes of these two people were, and he was afraid that they would have second thoughts.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Shen Tang: “…”

She had no choice but to respond in silence.

He lay straight in this position for a long time.

Fang Yan tried his best. Shen Tang had a strong foundation, and her ribs and cervical vertebrae had completely healed. She stood up with a somersault and stretched her numb limbs. Just as she was about to sigh in comfort, she felt an unspeakable stabbing pain in her waist. She cried out and maintained her posture, not daring to move, panting softly: "Stretching, stretching my waist——"

When Chu Yao came back exhausted, he saw Shen Tang holding the lamp stand with one hand and pounding his waist with the other hand, with a very distorted expression.

"Wu Hui, are you back?"

"We have received new news from Ji Shou at the front line."

He hurriedly brought it to me before I could even read the battle report.

Shen Tang opened the book with a grin on his face, read it quickly, and threw it to Chu Yao, continuing to rub his cramped waist: "I wanted to wait for Ji Shou to come back and give him a good beating, but - forget it."

Chu Yao finished scanning quickly, and any further blame turned into a sigh.

It’s really not Kang Shi’s fault at all.

The enemy's lineup was indeed too luxurious, and it was much better to win by overdrawing on luck than to lose and be wiped out. No matter what Kang Shi sacrificed or what means he used to push back the ambushed enemy, let's just say whether he won or not? It's OK if he won.

However, Chu Yao also saw other things from it.

“I’m afraid that waterway cannot be preserved.”

It's not easy to build a thousand-mile long dike, but isn't it easy to blow it up?

Shen Tang stopped pounding his waist and said, "If we can't protect it, we can't delay. If we delay for too long, we will have to withdraw even if we don't want to."

Qin Li could transport the clouds over there, but this method could only solve the urgent problem and could not be used as a stable logistical water supply. Shen Tang straightened up with pain, supported his waist and walked slowly for a few steps, but the sole of his right foot began to cramp.

Shen Tang took a deep breath and stared at his right foot with a ferocious expression: "...if you can, make my two feet cramp!"

The result is, of course, that you get what you ask for.

There was a lot of chaos and she was so exhausted that she had no strength left.

He decided not to move and sat down. This way, nothing would happen again. "Go ahead and take the others down to explore. Have you found anything?"

Jiang Sheng has a natural advantage in breaking the military formation due to his special literary skills. Kangguo attracted the firepower of the stone fort and entrusted Luo San to lead the team down the cliff with Jiang Sheng.

Brought back a good news and a bad news.

The good news is that the source has been found.

The bad news is that the source is too large and buried deep.

"Even if Luo San is present, we are not sure we can destroy it?"

"The news that Xiandeng brought back is that it cannot be destroyed. Rather than saying it is a spiritual array, it is better to say that it is a very special magnet..." No, it is not accurate to say it is a piece. It should be said that it is a special magnet vein, which happens to be distributed along the deep ravine under the long bridge. The burial depth is more than 150 feet. With Luo San's strength, it is impossible to destroy it without making a noise: "Ordinary magnets will attract and repel each other. This special magnet is also the same for people with martial energy."

Will attract.

Therefore, whether it is an arrow condensed by a warrior's martial energy or a huge rock thrown out by a catapult, it will be attracted.

"Xian Deng also brought back a message."

Shen Tangzheng thought about the countermeasures: "News?"

"The energy of heaven and earth below the ravine is also different from that of the outside world."

"Is it some kind of nuclear radiation again?" Shen Tang murmured, and then asked, "Did Xiandeng say anything different?"

"It wasn't Xiandeng who discovered it, but Luo Hou. The closer to the ground, the denser this special energy of heaven and earth becomes. Luo Hou once tried to destroy it and explore it, but he found that the greater the force he struck out, the greater the force that rebounded. He almost got internal injuries from the shock because he didn't check it out. It was as if he had hit a mountain instead of air."

Shen Tang also remembered some details after hearing this: "...Wuhui means that we have been fighting with the enemy these days, and our attacks may be affected by more than just the so-called gravity?"

Indeed, the catapults on the opposite side were relatively small in scale.

However, Shen Tang did not suspect anything at first.

The stone fort opposite the long bridge has a relatively open terrain, so a smaller catapult can be deployed. With more catapults, the smaller power can be compensated. Our side is restricted by the terrain and cannot be deployed, so naturally a large catapult is more cost-effective. Now that I think about it, maybe there is another reason?

Shen Tang had no expression on his face, but he was cursing in his heart.

Is the air of the heaven and earth under the long bridge still a "non-Newtonian fluid"? Will it become hard when subjected to a stronger external force, and become soft when subjected to a weaker external force? Every time this happens, Shen Tang really wants to greet the culprit from thousands of years ago.

What is this mess?

She mused, "Use cleverness to defeat force, and use softness to overcome hardness."

Perhaps this is the key to crossing the bridge and capturing the Stone Fort?

"Wuhui, how are the preparations for the fierce fire oil, iron chains, etc.?"

Shen Tang and his team initially planned to drive the iron ropes into the opposite mountain wall and artificially build several iron rope bridges, not necessarily using any one of them to cross to the other side. The battle was just to attract the enemy's firepower to one place, and then split off a group to go around from another place.

This plan requires the help of good timing.

Qin Li can use the way of scholars to control the fog. The thickest state can ensure that you can't see your hand in front of you. However, due to the special structure under the long bridge, the fog condensed by the literary energy is obviously not available. Then he can only wait for the natural weather. Qin Li will use the way of scholars to push it again. The disadvantage is that the density of the fog is not ideal. Shen Tang plans to use fire attack to add fuel to the fire: "Wuhui, my hand is cramping——"

I submitted the revised introduction several times but it was rejected every time. I don't think there is anything discordant in it.
