Hearing Sasaki's words, Changsheng and Zhang Mo almost laughed out loud. Everyone else wanted to save face and suffer the consequences, but this Sasaki did the opposite. He didn't want to save face and suffer the consequences. In order to save his life, he had no integrity and no limits. .
"Okay, I promise you," Changsheng suppressed a smile and nodded. "You go back and try to find out as much information as possible. If they send you next time, they will do it like today. They will take you first, and then try to make you whole body." And retreat."
"Thank you Mr. Changsheng, thank you Miss Zhang Mo," Sasaki thanked him repeatedly.
At this time, the soldiers outside the tent had heard the sound and entered the tent. Zhang Mo waved to them, indicating that they should retreat first, and then turned to Sasaki and said, "Don't be too busy thanking me. Let me ask you, why are you so afraid of death?" Want to be a dead soldier?"
"I don't want to be a soldier, they forced me to be a soldier," Sasaki said hurriedly. "I am an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. I can speak Chinese and do martial arts, so they forced me to be a soldier of death. Miko is still waiting for me in Japan. I I still want to see her again and don’t want to die in Middle-earth.”
When Zhang Mo nodded, Changsheng said again, "Remember, you must tell me the truth no matter what time. As long as you tell the truth, I will definitely not kill you. But if you lie to me, even just once, I will also let you never come back."
"Okay, okay, I remember, I will never lie." Sasaki promised.
Seeing that Changsheng stopped asking questions, Zhang Mo called the soldiers to carry Sasaki out and send him to the stable for detention.
After the soldiers carried Sasaki away, Zhang Mo smiled and sat next to Changsheng, "Although this Japanese is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is not annoying."
Changsheng also smiled, "Yes, true villains who mean what they say are not annoying, but hypocrites who mean what they mean are annoying."
"Yes," Zhang Mo nodded, "This person may be of great use in the future."
Changsheng nodded and stood up, "I brought something for you and brother, I'll go out and bring it in."
"I'm not busy," Zhang Mo stretched out his hand to hold him, "I have a question to ask you."
"What?" Changsheng asked casually.
"If they really take me, will you hand over the sacred bones they said?" Zhang Mo asked with a smile.
"Yes." Changsheng gave the answer without thinking.
"Do you know that handing over the sacred bones may ruin the fate of the Tang Dynasty and affect thousands of people?" Zhang Mo smiled half-heartedly.
"I know." Changsheng nodded.
"Then you still hand over the holy bones?" Zhang Mo asked.
Changsheng said, "I care about the fate of the Tang Dynasty, and I also care about the people, but I will definitely not sacrifice you for them. Besides, that urn was originally my unexpected gain. The worst I can do is return it to them and start all over again."
"Aren't you afraid of people scolding you?" Zhang Mo asked with a smile.
"Why do they scold me? I don't owe them anything," Chang Sheng glared, "They are only satisfied if I kill my relatives for justice? Go away, I am definitely immortal. I can even kill my relatives, so what's the point of loyalty?"
"If one day the emperor..."
Before Zhang Mo could finish speaking, Changsheng waved his hand and interrupted her, "I don't owe him anything either. If he is smart, he'd better not let me choose between you, otherwise he will definitely be disappointed."
"Don't talk nonsense," Zhang Shan's voice came from outside the tent. Then the curtain was opened, and Zhang Shan stepped in and scolded him sternly, "Young and frivolous, narrow-minded and rebellious."
Seeing Chang Sheng being scolded, Zhang Mo winked at him hurriedly, "Didn't you bring something for eldest brother? Why don't you bring it in?"
Changsheng escaped smoothly and ran out to unload the wine and fruit from the back of Mr. Hei. The mud seals of the two wine jars were soaked away by the heavy rain last night, but there were still a few layers of lotus leaves inside. There was no water in the wine jars, and the smell of alcohol was It has not dissipated. But the fruit was not good. The bumpy journey caused more than half of the grapes to be crushed, and the rest fell off the branches.
Changsheng moved the things into the tent, and Zhang Mo washed the good grapes, gave some to Zhang Shan, and put the rest on the wooden table between himself and Changsheng's seat.
The three of them ate grapes and chatted casually. Zhang Mo was eight years older than Chang Sheng, and Zhang Shan was more than 20 years older than Zhang Mo. In Zhang Shan's eyes, Zhang Mo and Chang Sheng were both children. "The emperor has decreed that you be crowned prince. As a minister, I should be grateful before me and loyal at the back. Don’t say such rebellious and unethical words as before in the future.”
Seeing Changsheng being criticized, Zhang Mo wanted to smooth things over, but he never thought that Zhang Shan would be unkind to her. He glanced at her dissatisfied before she could say anything, "You are so much older than him, so you should be kind and seductive, and give guidance at all times. What did you do? You were so emotional that you let him choose between you and the imperial court. It is a betrayal of loyalty and treason."
"Brother, she didn't let me..."
Before Chang Sheng could finish speaking, Zhang Shan interrupted him, "Mencius said, if you are poor, you can be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you can help the world. Yin and Yang bear the responsibility, and the way of heaven is clear. God is so caring for you, and you are blessed with blessings and blessings. You should be grateful and help the world and the people to repay God's kindness. It would be better for you to regard your talent and income as your own selfishness. You only have personal feelings for your children in your heart and have no sense of national justice."
Seeing Zhang Shan's stern tone, Zhang Mo was a little annoyed, "Brother, it's a rare time for me to come here. You keep making a fuss about it. Changsheng, let's go. Don't listen to him anymore."
After Zhang Mo finished speaking, he stood up and left, but she could leave, but Changsheng didn't dare to leave. Just as she was looking around and hesitating, Zhang Shan said again, "You are so eager to leave your post at the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Yushitai. It seems that you are retreating from the rapids and protecting yourself wisely, but in fact you are self-righteous and assuming the holy will. Have you ever thought about where your eagerness to resign will put the emperor? How will the civil and military officials of the court and the public evaluate the emperor? ? Is it possible that the emperor is a weakling who is unreasonable and unreasonable?"
No one likes to be criticized, and Changsheng is no exception, but I have to say that Zhang Shan's words are indeed reasonable. His impatient resignation and official seal do have the meaning of withdrawing in time and running away to avoid disaster.
Seeing Changsheng sitting still without moving, Zhang Mo turned around and dragged him, "Let's go."
"Wait, wait." Changsheng whispered.
Changsheng couldn't leave, so Zhang Mo turned to look at Zhang Shan, "Brother, Changsheng is the prince now. Don't treat him like a child anymore. He has done a good enough job. You can't be picky or picky. He is annoyed, if he doesn’t come back in the future, who do you think will go?”
"No, no, brother is right." Changsheng answered hurriedly.
Zhang Shan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk anymore. You can take him to change out of his wet clothes first, and then walk around with him."
Hearing Zhang Shan's words, Changsheng felt as if he had been granted amnesty, so he hurriedly stood up and left.
"The army is no better than other places, and you are no better than others," Zhang Shan said. "Stay in camp for one day and go back as soon as possible tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay." Changsheng nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Mo was afraid that Changsheng would be angry, so when he left the tent, he whispered, "There have been many changes in the army recently. Brother is not in a good mood. Don't take it personally when he says something about you."
"I'm not angry. He said I didn't do it once or twice," Chang Sheng asked casually, "What happened in the army?"
Zhang Mo took Chang Sheng to his residence, and at the same time said, "The new army that has just been formed has not been in actual combat, so we can only practice it during the march. As a result, the march speed will be very slow, and Yang Shouliang can also Calmly preparing for war has created many obstacles for us.”
"To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first." Changsheng said.
Zhang Mo waved his hand and shook his head, "This road is not feasible. Hanzhong is vast and populated, and quite wealthy. When he learned that we were coming to attack him, Yang Shouliang spent a lot of money to recruit many masters of the evil sect. He was surrounded by a cloud of masters and the defense was tight, just like today. The spreading of corpse poison was done by the demons he recruited."
When Chang Sheng frowned, Zhang Mo said again, "I wonder if you have noticed that there are many fewer comrades in the army."
"I noticed." Changsheng said. The number of people from the Taoist sect that he saw from the Chinese army's tent was indeed much smaller than before.
Zhang Mo nodded and said, "This matter was also done by Yang Shouliang. Many of our soldiers and horses were from the Sanqing dynasty. In order to weaken us, Yang Shouliang used a plan to drain the firepower from under the cauldron and secretly sent people to various palaces to cause chaos. Most of the people staying in the temple are old, young, sick and disabled, so many of our comrades had no choice but to return to the temple to drive away the enemy and protect themselves."
"To be so despicable," Changsheng frowned and asked, "Where is Yang Shouliang now?"
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, Zhang Mo immediately guessed Chang Sheng's intention and waved his hand hurriedly, "You must not mess around. We know about the raid on Jianghuai you led before, but unlike the raid on Jianghuai, at this time, Yang Shouliang has experts like Yun, it is absolutely impossible to make a surprise assassination."
"A master like a cloud?" Changsheng repeated casually.
"Yes," Zhang Mo heard the disdain in Chang Sheng's words, "Kiuzhou is vast and the world is vast. It can be said that there are many talents, hidden dragons and tigers. There are far more masters than we imagined."
"In previous martial arts competitions, we didn't see many purple energy masters." Changsheng said.
Zhang Mo shook his head and said, "On that day, there were only one-tenth of the people in the world who went to the capital under the imperial edict. In addition, there were a large number of masters who were either wandering the streets or living in seclusion in the mountains. Many of them were highly skilled human beings."
"There are evil spirits under Yang Shouliang?" Changsheng was a little surprised.
"Yes, there is more than one." Zhang Mo nodded.
"I have been to many places before, but I didn't find many purple energy masters and evil spirits." Changsheng said.
Zhang Mo shook his head and said, "Although you have been to those places, you have never walked through them all. It's like Chang'an. Although you live there, you have never visited every street or entered every house."
Chang Sheng nodded slowly when he heard the words. Zhang Mo said it was indeed true. Whether it was a trip to the northwest or a trip to the southwest, he just walked through a line and never set foot in every city, let alone every place. A mountain wilderness.
While the two were talking, they arrived at Zhang Mo's tent. After entering the tent, Changsheng took out the square wooden box from his arms and said, "I came here mainly to send you something."
"What?" Zhang Mo asked casually.
"Celestial Silkworm Clothes," Chang Sheng raised his hand to deliver, "It is said that this thing is invulnerable to fire and water, and invulnerable to swords and guns. You may come in handy when you go to war with the army."
"I don't want it," Zhang Mo waved his hand and said, "If you keep it for your own use, your situation is more dangerous than mine."
"There are two pieces of this thing. This one is for you, and I have another one." Changsheng gave it to him again.
"Are there really two?" Zhang Mo tilted his head.
"There are really two of them, please keep them quickly..."
