Chapter 243: I'm going to twist your head off!
Looking back now—
Kang Shi realized he had made a huge mistake.
Chu Yao's act of giving away heart-protecting pills was definitely a wise move based on experience.
He blinked repeatedly, but no matter how many times he repeated it, Shen Tang did indeed rush out to save the person, and it was a "snatching someone from the jaws of death"! The motorcycle seemed to know that its owner was gone, and tried to push through the crowd to walk in her direction, but the reins were pulled by someone.
The motorbike turned its head and glanced sideways.
From this angle, there's a hint of murderous intent about him.
Qi Shan said in a low voice, "Don't make things worse."
How can a motorcycle understand human speech?
But the little animal's alertness told it that this person was not to be trifled with.
So after a while of making a fuss, it calmed down.
Kang Shi snapped out of his daze and clutched the heart-protecting pills in his sleeve.
Somewhat bewildered and dazed, he asked Qi Shan a question that came from the bottom of his heart: "Yuanliang, is...is Shen Lang normal?"
Qi Shan said with a dark face, "It's perfectly normal."
Kang Shi asked, "But isn't Shen Lang a scholar with a literary mind?"
Qi Shan said with a forced smile, "There's a saying among the people: 'A large forest has all kinds of birds.' Logically speaking—with so many scholars and gentlemen, it's not surprising to occasionally find someone with the courage and style of a martial artist, right? Whatever it is, as long as they're alive, that's good."
Gu Chi: "..."
Kang Shi: "..."
That makes some sense.
The most basic requirement that scholars and literati have for their lord is that he must be a living, breathing person.
Kang Shi secretly covered his forehead.
This doesn't make any sense at all!
Even more bewildered than Kang Shi were the other members of the Allied Forces, including some like Chao Lian who couldn't bear to see tragedy unfold and were prepared to intervene. But wanting to help was one thing; actually being able to do so was quite another.
Unexpectedly, some people have become united in thought and action!
This man was none other than the short, frail, and somewhat diminutive Shen Langzhu, among a group of scholars and warriors. Some, refusing to believe it, even secretly pinched themselves with their fingernails, putting in considerable effort, wincing in pain. Good heavens, they weren't dreaming!
What intrigued them even more was Gongxi Chou's line—"Why is it you again?"—Could it be that Lord Shen was right when he said Gongxi Chou's legs were too short to run? For a moment, some people actually lowered their gaze, trying to see just how short Gongxi Chou's legs were.
Gu Chi: "..."
He really couldn't hold it in any longer.
Qi Shan looked at Gu Chi's forced smile and pained expression, and said, "If you've heard anything interesting, why not share it?"
Gu Chi: "Gong Xichou has short legs."
Many people suspected that his legs started below his knees.
Qi Shan: "..."
He was somewhat disappointed with these Allied forces' useless idiots. They were still fighting and debating generals, couldn't they be a little more serious?
Alliance Leader Wu Xian's wildly beating heart finally calmed down slightly when he saw Zhao Feng rescued by Shen Tang. During that attack, he hadn't been thinking about being targeted himself, but rather about Zhao Feng's death!
As for this Lord Shen—
In Wu Xian's eyes, Zhao Feng's life was absolutely worth more than the small piece of territory that Shen Tang wanted. After this campaign, even if he didn't get the credit from Shen Tang, he would still keep his promise to "lend" the territory—yes, he believed that Shen Tang would get the credit.
The scholar in the black robe looked at Qi Shan with a meaningful expression.
Other details are not yet apparent, but Lord Shen is indeed more resilient than Qi Shan's previous lords, which explains why Qi Shan has taken notice of him.
Zhao Fengze sat on the ground with an incredulous expression.
He stood up to protect his master, not expecting to survive himself.
He never expected that the person who saved him would be Shen Tang.
Immediately afterward, Shen Tang retorted with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Well, what do you mean 'Why me again'? Does Feng En not want to see me?"
Feng En was the courtesy name of Gongxi Chou.
It is said that his adoptive father obtained it himself.
However, Gongxi Chou didn't like this character very much.
He preferred to be called by his full name or by his childhood nickname "A-Nian" rather than by the term "Feng-En." To Gong Xi-Chou, the title "Feng-En" was provocative.
His face darkened, and he unleashed a murderous aura: "Mama has saved people from my clutches time and time again. Does she really think I won't kill you?"
"Of course I didn't think that way." Only a fool would entrust his life to the occasional mercy of his enemy. Shen Tang followed up with a smile, "You did want to kill me, but you didn't succeed, did you? Anyway, we've intercepted you so many times, one more time won't make a difference."
Gong Xichou's face visibly darkened.
only--
He said, "I won't fight you."
Shen Tang loosened Zhao Feng's collar and told him to go back.
By the way, why?
It doesn't matter who you fight with.
Gong Xiqiu said in a low voice, "Because I'm tired of it."
He doesn't like to deal with the same person too many times because it gets boring once he figures out their tactics. Instead, he prefers the unknown that brings him surprises.
Therefore, he did not want to compete with Shen Tang.
He glared at them and then taunted the Allied forces again: "What, are all the Allied generals dead? Are they hiding behind a scholar and watching others charge into battle? Or are tens of thousands of soldiers stripped of their armor, perhaps not a single one of them is a man? How absurd and laughable!"
Shen Tang retorted angrily, "As long as you can fight, that's enough. Why are you discriminating against people with different professions?"
What happened to the literary scholars?
As long as you can blow someone's head off, that's fine.
Shen Tang's Motherly Sword was already itching for a fight!
However, some people were even more impatient than her.
"Alright! Let me have a go at you!"
This man was none other than Shao Chong, the sworn brother of Xia Shisan under Gu Ren! Of course, he hadn't acted rashly or rushed out on his own; he had Gu Ren's permission. Gong Xichou's provocative words were truly infuriating! Who could tolerate such behavior?
After discussing with Alliance Leader Wu Xian, they decided to send Shao Chong to fight in the second battle—again, they were planning a war of attrition.
Shao Chong will exhaust Gong Xi Chou's stamina; the third battle will be left to Shen Tang. Whether they repel or kill him, their side will be in a favorable position.
The elite rebel army that was pulled out only numbered ten thousand. As long as Gong Xichou, their spiritual pillar, was kept in check, the chances of victory were over sixty percent!
Of course, Gu Ren also had his own little scheme in mind.
He hoped that Shao Chong could use this opportunity to make a name for himself.
Compared to slaying a relatively unknown enemy, challenging an invincible "monster" in the eyes of many is far more likely to bring fame. Even if one is defeated, there's still Zhao Feng to fall behind. Zhao Feng's end is Shao Chong's beginning!
Gong Xichou glanced at Shao Chong and immediately saw through his trick. He then said with even more disdain, "Your allied forces are all incompetent—are you really pushing a child out to die?"
Shen Tang hugged her Mother's Sword with a wronged expression.
They felt deeply that Gong Xichou had "betrayed" their friendship!
Shao Chong's mind was only that of a six-year-old, and he was completely unaffected by Gong Xi Chou's words. He was riding a horse without even wearing full armor.
Gong Xichou said, "Boy, go home and drink your mother's milk!"
"If I don't drink milk, I won't have a mother, and—" Shao Chong tilted his head and thought for a moment, then remembered what he was there for, and grinned like a child, "I'm going to twist your head off!"
