After Shen Tang said these words, the room fell into silence again.

Shen Tang, who has always been confident and frank, felt inexplicably uneasy for the first time.

Reason told her that she and Qi Shan had known each other for more than ten years, and the two of them did not even have this little trust. But on the other hand, she was well aware of the special nature of Qi Shan's way of being a scribe. Those who could awaken this way of being a scribe People must be extremely lacking in trust.

Trust is like a mirror

A broken mirror cannot be put back together again.

Once there is a crack in trust, there will be endless suspicion and worry. In the more than five years since the end of the Chaoliguan War, Qi Shan has never doubted himself, not even similar thoughts have appeared, and this accident will undoubtedly be the end of the world. The seemingly indestructible trust was shattered into pieces. Even if it was later explained that it was just a misunderstanding, it also revealed that Shen Tang had the ability to escape from the shackles of the scribe's way of [Lord Killing]. A constraint that can be unilaterally severed at any time, the so-called constraint Can it also provide a foundation of trust?

The longer Shen Tang waited, the more he felt suffocated by the air.

She was vaguely afraid of Qishan's answer.

He is as smart as praying for good. He has been in the Gods Society for many years and has been able to handle it with ease. He naturally knows how to answer in a watertight way, but this kind of answer is definitely something Shen Tang doesn't want to hear. As the former leader of the Caotai team and now the head of Kang State, she has spent all these years She has heard too many flattery words and seen too many people who are good at dancing. She can accept others wearing masks in front of her and treat her with caution, because accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. But she cannot accept people like Qishan being arrogant and conciliatory with her!

She asks herself questions and treats others with sincerity.

Naturally, I also hope that the other party will return my sincerity.

Qishan can't accept being questioned and suspected by her master, so can she accept that her sincerity will only be exchanged for cheap and hypocritical feelings?

It's better not to listen than to listen to what you don't want to hear.

Just when Shen Tang was about to find an excuse to leave, Qi Shan's lips had no curves, but his eyes were astonishingly bright, and a smile penetrated his eyes: "My lord, Shan drew his sword at that time——"

Shen Tang lost his energy: "Draw your sword and chop me?"

Although the possibility is unlikely, with Qi Shan's record of killing seven masters in a row, and the method of [killing masters] as a scribe, Shen Tang feels that when he is furious, he will really vent his anger with two swords - even if he doesn't He would kill her, but he must be holding an unknown fire in his heart.

Qishan said: "It was suicide."

Shen Tang suddenly opened his almond-shaped eyes: "Are you crazy?"

Qishan's expression was calm, with a bit of self-mockery and a bit of reminiscence: "Crazy? Maybe. Maybe Cong Yuanliang protected me and died in the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas. At that time, I called the sky and the earth not to respond, and the earth and the earth were not working. , he was already crazy. It was only after meeting the Lord that he managed to regain some sense. However, most people only have the thought of seeking death for that moment, and it is over."

It doesn't feel good to have your trust broken down.

If he hadn't met Shen Tang, he wouldn't have lived for many years, at least not today, because the scribe's way of [killing the Lord] was too overbearing, and the physical burden it brought was beyond the limit of what he could bear, and also because of his The desire to live is not high.

It can be said that he lives entirely by his spirit.

At that time, the energy in my heart was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished anytime and anywhere. Either I should give up my mind completely and find a place deep in the mountains and old forests to live out my remaining life, or I could continue to look for that ideal thing that is almost impossible to exist in this world. lord.

If you choose the former, you can survive for a few years.

Choosing the latter, he could almost foresee his own death.

[Lord Killing] There is a limit to the number of times this scribe's method can be activated. The eighth time he activates it, he and his lord will inevitably die together.

There is always a way out.

What he met was Shen Tang who was being hunted.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

If one of them had to die, he didn't want it to be her. Qishan had said back then that if one day he lost his master's trust, it would be because he had done something wrong. He laughed at himself: "The end of [killing the master] is [Kill the minister]."

Perhaps only a twisted soul like his could give birth to such a contradictory way of being a scribe - he wanted to end his master and save himself, but he never thought that the sword would end up across his neck.

However, Qishan has no regrets.

When I learned that this was a misunderstanding, I no longer had any worries.

"The Lord is willing to explain it himself, and Shan is very happy."

The status of the master and the ministers are naturally unequal. As the master, she can respond in countless ways, whether she responds positively, is vague, or even avoids talking about it.

Thunder and rain, could it be God’s grace?

As a subject, I can only accept it.

But she didn't do that.

The person who appeared in this room was Shen Youli, not Shen Tang, the leader of Kang State. She had not changed in the past ten years.

Shen Tang clasped his face with his fingers.

"Ahem, it's good to be happy, but it won't happen next time."

After all, she is also the head of a country.

Why should she coax her ministers like this every time?

Speaking of this, Shen Tang couldn't help but look around.

Qi Shan thought she was looking for something.

Shen Tang waved his hand: "No, I'm looking for someone."

"Looking for someone? Who?"

"Of course I'm looking for that elusive living man, but I remembered that he is still with the main force of the army and is not here at the moment. If he were here, I would not be embarrassed just once, but be embarrassed for eternity." Shen Tang patted his chest with some joy, then frowned in distress, "I don't want future generations to see this record and be treated as a joke."

Qi Shan shook his head and said: "No, the Lord was brave and majestic last night. Even if it is written into the history books, it will be admired and admired by future generations."

Her master looked down upon herself too much.

Shen Tang could only hehe: "You don't understand history! Do you believe it? If this paragraph is written by a living man, there will definitely be people who are so idle that they will eat life and death in future generations. This paragraph is the ironclad proof!"

This daily life man has a strong head and a straightforward personality. Shen Tang wanted to read the daily life notes several times but was rejected directly by him. He even wrote down the year, month, day and time when she wanted to read the daily life notes. Shen Tang was rejected even if she wanted to read the daily life notes several times. Let it go. After a few times, she gave up.

Qi Shan is puzzled: “What is ‘eating life and eating death’?”

Shen Tang spread his hands and said: "The literal explanation is that you like a certain couple to the point of emotional excitement. The popular explanation is that when future generations see this, they will think that we have an affair."

Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to escape.

She vaguely heard a rumor that the living man was also a fan of the book "Five Elements of Immorality". She only hoped that the living man could remember his ethics as a living man and be merciful in his writing. Otherwise, she would have to lift up the coffin even if she lay down in it. Die with your eyes open!

Qishan tried to understand, but ultimately couldn't.

It's not that I don't understand the second half of the sentence - not to mention distant later generations, even among the people today, there are always people who suspect that the Lord has an affair with unmarried officials in the court (both male and female), including himself, Chu Wuhui, Qin Gongsu, Kang Jishou... even Ning Tunan and Lin Lingde have not escaped, and the book has repeatedly banned insinuations. If this were not the case, when the royal court inspected various places, the officials passing by the jurisdiction would not present handsome men and beautiful women, and there would not be so many men and women among the people who coveted the Lord. The position of royal husband/royal wife.

What I don’t understand is why I like a couple at the same time?

Don’t you think the world between the two of you is too crowded?

Don’t you feel that you are redundant?

Shen Tang was asked by Qi Shan.

She thought for a long time before giving her answer.

Scratching his head, he said uncertainly: "Well, maybe, maybe, it's because love is such a stupid thing, or is it more interesting to watch other people talk about it? It would take so much effort to talk about it yourself."

Qishan thought carefully: "It does make some sense."

There is so much work, so busy affairs, going to court every now and then to scheming with the foxes in the court, weighing the pros and cons, and having to guard against the censor's desk from time to time to find fault, and the resentment is heavier than that of a ghost. How can I have the time to have sex with others, you and me? ?

It's quite refreshing to see others struggling with love.

Once you’ve seen it, just treat it as if you’ve also talked about it.

Qishan had a smile in his eyes.

"It's more interesting to watch other people."

If it were an ordinary world, and Shen Tang was still a bachelor at this age, the civil and military officials in the dynasty would be so anxious that it would take time to train an heir, and it would also take time for the heir to grow up. If the king dies during this period, the weak ministers will be in charge. If she is strong, it will inevitably cause huge waves in the government and the opposition, and may seriously lead to the destruction of the country. After all, Shen Tang is alone, and she does not even have a clan connected by blood.

But this world is different.

As a person with both civil and military skills, Shen Tang can rule healthily for many, many years as long as she is not poisoned and assassinated to destroy the country, and her mind is clear and she is not confused. The successor will come later. It doesn't matter if it's twenty years.

Qi Shan is pleased that at this age, the Lord can still concentrate on government affairs and not care about beauty. This is much better than other Lords.

Shen Tang didn't know what Qi Shan was thinking at this moment.

If you know it, you must break your defense a little.

After the crisis of trust with Qi Shan was lifted, Shen Tang felt refreshed and his appetite was 30 to 40% better than usual. On the other hand, Yun Da and Gong Cheng were not in such a good mood.

The senior officials of Beimo knew about the two men's actions.

I'd also be happy to see this come to fruition.

According to their existing intelligence, the general guarding the key pass is Chu Jie. This man is very powerful and has the protection of Kang Guoguo. When he occupies the terrain of the key pass, Gong Cheng or Yunda, no one wants to kill him.

All are a bit tricky.

However, Gong Cheng and Werder went together.

It is not difficult to kill Chu Jie who is not fully prepared by surprise.

Even if Chu Jie survives by chance, his defeat in public will inevitably lead to a setback in the morale of Kang's army and a sharp drop in morale. If he wants to force Yunda and his two men back, it may take a lot of national fortune. All of this will provide the opportunity for the Northern Desert army to attack Kang.

The country creates favorable conditions.

They never expected or imagined that the two of them would return without success.

How is this possible?

That's exactly what happened.
