Seeing how tired Chang Sheng was, Da Tou wanted to bring him a war horse from the military formation outside the city for him to ride on. But before he could walk towards the military formation, Chang Sheng guessed what he was thinking and waved his hand to stop him, "No, let's go." Let's go back."
Changsheng spoke, but Datou could only obey. He and Shi Xuanming accompanied him on his return trip to the west.
It is true that Changsheng is exhausted, but with the support of spiritual energy, it stands to reason that his spirit will not be so sluggish. The main reason why he is exhausted physically and mentally is because of nervousness and fear. This is a battle that must be lost, but he often makes surprises at critical moments. Zhao'er first managed to control the garrison, and then used the incoming garrison to frighten and control the Shence Army. Coupled with the necessary bluff and false edicts, one link after another, finally made the falsehood come true and reversed the situation. The situation, no matter which part of the previous problem has gone wrong, will lead to the whole game being lost.
The reason why he was able to win this war was only part of his mental strategy. There was also a lot of luck. If he had not agreed to hand over the Heavenly Silkworm Magic to Long Haotian last night, Long Haotian would not have temporarily betrayed him today. This was because of him. What I have never foreseen before, luck is indeed luck.
Before the three of them left the square area, Da Tou spotted Ni Chenyi running over from the southwest direction of the square, "Sir, Miss Ni is here."
Chang Sheng turned around when he heard the sound and saw Ni Chenyi walking in a hurry with an anxious look on his face.
Datou was very discerning. When he saw Ni Chenyi coming, he waved to Shi Xuanming, "Sir, let's go back first."
Changsheng nodded and stood there waiting for Ni Chenyi to come over.
Not long after, Ni Chenyi arrived and saw Chang Sheng covered in blood. He hurriedly pulled his sleeve and looked up and down, "Are you injured?"
"It's okay," Changsheng stepped forward, "Chang'an has been under martial law, why are you still running around?"
"I heard your cry and knew that something happened in the palace," Ni Chenyi followed Chang Sheng, "but my martial arts skills are mediocre. Even though I am anxious, I dare not come to create trouble for you."
"You were right not to come," Changsheng said casually. "Like the situation just now, even if you come, you won't be able to enter the palace."
"What's the situation in the palace now?" Ni Chenyi asked.
"The situation is under control," Changsheng said. "The garrison is under our control. The Shence Army has withdrawn from the palace. The palace defense is now all taken over by the Yulin Army. However, Yang Fugong took advantage of the chaos and ran away. Fortunately, the division Uncle and the others are back, and I won’t be needed for the next thing.”
Any other woman would have asked endless questions to dispel her doubts about the details, but Ni Chenyi did not do that. She saw that Chang Sheng was exhausted both physically and mentally, so she changed the topic to a lighter topic, "If you are sleepy, go back to sleep. If you are hungry or thirsty, let’s go eat first.”
"I don't have any strength in my body right now," Changsheng said casually, "It's really dangerous. Fortunately, we won. If we lost, not only would the emperor and I die without a burial place, but Longhu Mountain and the Ni family would also be bloodbathed. To this day I am still afraid.”
Ni Chenyi walked west slowly with Chang Sheng, talking while walking, but the two did not mention the misunderstanding in the morning. Ni Chenyi was not ordinary smart. Seeing such a thing happen, he naturally knew why Zhang Mo appeared in Chang Sheng's bedroom in the morning. Discuss secret operations.
Changsheng didn't mention this matter because he believed in Ni Chenyi's judgment and believed that there was no need to explain. Secondly, he was very satisfied with Ni Chenyi's performance in the morning. Although Ni Chenyi was shocked and desperate, she did not lose her composure. She always maintained restraint and followed etiquette. If she were a village woman and a commoner, she would probably cry and mess up the matter on the spot.
It is reasonable to say that I would rather marry a slave of a noble family than a noble lady of a noble family. A lady of a great lady is a lady of a great lady, and most of the ladies of a great lady are well-educated and sensible. Most of the impressions of traffickers and lackeys on ladies are that they are unruly, willful, arrogant, unreasonable, and domineering. In fact, this is completely wrong. This is just their guess that they judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. In their opinion, if one day they become If a wealthy family has a wealthy family, their daughters will become like that.
Ni Chenyi accompanied Chang Sheng as he walked west. When Chang Sheng wanted to speak, she would respond with words that were mostly comforting. When Chang Sheng didn't want to talk, she wouldn't ask endlessly for details or make Chang Sheng irritated.
Since the whole city of Chang'an was under martial law, there were only soldiers and no pedestrians on the streets. When passing by the Yanbin Building, Ni Chenyi said softly, "The fire should not be put out under the stove at this time, and there are many braziers in the Yanbin Building, which is very warm. If you have nothing else important to do, you might as well have something to eat before going back."
Changsheng nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked towards the banquet building.
Because the martial law was so sudden, many guests were blocked in the Banquet Building. Many people in Chang'an knew Chang Sheng, and when they saw him and Ni Chenyi arriving covered in blood, they hid on the second floor.
Changsheng didn't bother to go up high, so he sat down at the table next to the door. The waiters all recognized him and Ni Chenyi. It seems that the waiters in this high-end restaurant have better eyesight than the waiters in ordinary restaurants. They saw that there was a lot of blood on Changsheng's body. They took the initiative to bring hot water and towels.
While Changsheng was wiping his face, the waiter began to tell the names of the dishes. Unlike most wine shop waiters who are eloquent and chatter about the names of the dishes, the waiter at the Yanbinlou did not speak very fast, and would give a brief pause after each dish name. Pausing to allow customers to think and make a decision is actually what customers like best. The purpose of naming dishes is to let customers know what dishes are available in the store, rather than to talk endlessly and show off how fast you can speak.
Chang Sheng was indeed hungry, so he asked for a meat dish, a vegetable dish, rice and porridge, and a bottle of wine. He didn't like drinking, but he had never been able to get out of his previous extremely nervous state and wanted to use wine. Calm down your emotions.
The huge restaurant only served one table, and the chefs in the back kitchen worked together to deliver the vegetables and meals quickly.
Ni Chenyi also ate, but only very little. Most of the time, she served Chang Sheng, pouring wine for him, serving soup for him, and picking up vegetables with him.
Immortality is not just about eating and drinking. After eating a few mouthfuls, you will take a long breath or express a few sighs. Most of them are 'what a risk', and there are also a lot of 'lucky'.
When people are in a bad mood or tense, eating is a good way to relieve stress. This is also the reason why many people eat and drink heavily when they are in a bad mood. With food in their stomach, tension can gradually be relieved.
Changsheng originally thought that it would take him a long time to recover, but after he had eaten enough, he realized that his mood had stabilized, and his physical strength and energy had also recovered. He galloped on horseback last night, two thousand miles round trip in the snow, and his stomach was full. If there is nothing inside, it will inevitably lead to depression and lack of physical strength.
Changsheng knew that Ni Chenyi wanted to know the cause and the whole process of the matter, so while drinking water and tea, he started talking about the eunuch's plan to harm yesterday. He was clear-headed and could express concisely and accurately, and Ni Chenyi was also very smart. Changsheng She could easily understand everything he said, and she understood the whole process with just half a stick of incense.
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, she felt relaxed, but Ni Chenyi was nervous. She thought that Chang Sheng and others' sudden attack today was carefully planned and fully prepared. Only then did she realize that Chang Sheng's attack was purely impromptu and there was no prior plan. The preparation and planning, under such circumstances, to eradicate the eunuchs who controlled the government and held military power in one fell swoop can be called a miracle.
"How sure are you before taking action?" Ni Chenyi asked.
"I'm not sure," Chang Sheng shook his head and said, "But I can't help it. They have already attacked me. It's like tearing their faces. I can't do it if I don't do it. Although I am very smart, I am still young after all. I am definitely not that good at planning. The opponents of the old foxes, every time I delay for a day, I can block one hole, and others can dig two holes. Therefore, the longer I delay, the less chance I have, so whether I want to or not, I have to make a desperate move. Fortunately, I won."
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, Ni Chenyi nodded slowly. Chang Sheng was right. Since the Eunuch Party has attacked Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng's survival means that both parties have become mortal enemies. Once the Eunuch Party has taken precautions, both parties will enter into a fighting mentality. If there is a stalemate in the conspiracy, then there will be no chance of immortality at all.
After pouring hot tea for Changsheng again, Ni Chenyi said, "There is something I don't quite understand."
"What?" Changsheng asked casually.
"If you couldn't escape unscathed last night, you wouldn't have this golden opportunity today. What I'm confused about is that you agreed to hand over the Heavenly Silkworm Magic to Long Haotian last night. Was it just to protect your senior brother and his family?" Ni Chenyi asked.
"Part of it," Changsheng said, "there are also three other reasons. One is that Long Haotian trusts me. As long as I verbally agree, he dares to let me go. This makes me feel that I am quite successful as a person. The second reason is that I I fell into the enemy's trap because I was impulsive and careless. Anyone who makes a mistake must bear the consequences, and I am no exception. Since I made a mistake, I have to pay the price and accept the loss."
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, Ni Chenyi nodded repeatedly with admiration and approval. It is a common problem for most people to be strict with others and unwilling to accept losses. They do something wrong but hope to escape punishment and escape unscathed. If Chang Sheng did not make the decisive decision and bravely endure it last night. If we lose, there will be no chance of eradicating the eunuchs today.
"Is there another reason?" Ni Chenyi asked.
Chang Sheng smiled and said nothing.
"Say it." Ni Chenyi urged.
Changsheng smiled and said, "The Heavenly Silkworm Divine Skill is not an ordinary skill, it is a magical skill that can completely transform one's body. If I teach such a powerful skill to the treacherous, despicable and shameless Long Haotian, he will definitely do bad things after he masters it, but I have I have a way to control him. If he behaves recklessly, I will make a thousand copies or ten thousand copies of the Qi training method of Tiancan Sheng Gong, and everyone who practices martial arts will have one copy. By then, everyone will be able to practice Tian Can Shen Gong, you say dragon How will Haotian feel?"
Changsheng smiles, and Ni Chenyi smiles too.
Changsheng Xianxian put away his smile, "If I really do that, it will be a trick. As long as Long Haotian doesn't do too much, I won't trick him. This time I have truly realized what it means to be helpless." Even my enemies dare to believe me. This is my success as a person. In the future, I will continue to stick to my heart, keep my promises, and do what I say."
Ni Chenyi nodded in approval, then whispered, "I vaguely heard you speaking from the south gate earlier. You announced in public that you would retain the official positions of the generals of the Shence Army. They are rebels and will be purged and reorganized by the court afterwards. What do you do? Can they retain their official positions?"
Changsheng sighed, "I am also worried about this matter. At that time, I could only say that in order to stabilize the situation. I don't have any good options now. Let's go to court tomorrow and see what the emperor's attitude is..."
