Hearing the maid's scream, the restaurant manager was very surprised and hurriedly left his seat and wanted to go out to check.
Unlike the shopkeeper who was confused and nervous, Changsheng seemed quite calm, because he knew that Huang Silang must have lost his temper after drinking and showed his true form and was seen by the maid, so he waved to the shopkeeper and continued to discuss the remaining details.
In fact, all quarrels, disagreements, conflicts, and contradictions are due to one party's lack of self-awareness or lack of sincerity. As long as both parties are self-aware and have enough sincerity, the negotiation will go smoothly and the cooperation will be pleasant. The details were discussed within a short period of time, and then the shopkeeper went downstairs on his own, while Changsheng returned to the Tianzihao room.
The two maids were still standing at the door. When they saw Chang Sheng arriving, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted him. Chang Sheng knew what he was talking about and asked, but one of them only said that the candlelight in the room was flickering and he had been dazzled by it when he was pouring tea.
Changsheng smiled. The six people in the room were all very smart. They had countless ways to make the maid think she was dazzled.
Entering the room, everyone was drinking tea and talking. When they saw Changsheng coming in, everyone hurriedly left their seats and stood up. Huang Silang glanced at Changsheng apologetically. Although it was an alien form, it had purple energy cultivation. As long as it was willing, You can activate the spiritual energy to dissolve the hangover at any time.
Changsheng pretended that he had not heard the maid's scream before, and only said that he was leaving to discuss with Yanbinlou about opening a branch in Anton. He then raised his glass and toasted Huang Silang again, thanking him for the protection and care he had given to everyone in his party in recent times. help.
After such a commotion, Huang Silang felt ashamed and had no intention of staying any longer. He just said that he would leave tonight to return. Changsheng tried several times to persuade him to stay, but Huang Silang had already decided to leave, so Changsheng no longer forced him to go back. Afterwards, the government drove Miss Bai to take Huang Silang back to Anton.
After the banquet, everyone returned to the palace. Changshou took some gold and silver and gave it to Huang Silang for expenses. He also ordered him to visit Dengzhou Inn on the way back to see if Takeda Mayumi was there.
Watching Miss Bai carrying the two of them up into the sky and heading east, Chang Sheng felt relieved and took a long breath.
Shi Xuanming didn't know that Chang Sheng was breathing heavily because he was relieved. He just thought he was a little reluctant to let go of Huang Silang, so he said, "My lord, if you ask to keep him, he should stay."
Changsheng turned to look at Shi Xuanming, "The country is the country of mankind, and the country is the country of mankind, and it is just an alien species. The country of mankind has nothing to do with it. We cannot force it to fight for the country of mankind."
Chang Sheng paused for a moment before continuing, "We are all people in the world, and we don't care much about fame and wealth. But since we have the salary from the imperial court and enjoy the admiration of the people, we should serve the imperial court." Serve and benefit the people. We have experienced many wars in the past few years. We should know that death is not far away from us. We may die on the battlefield one day, and leaving it behind may kill it."
"Amitabha." Shi Xuanming clasped his hands and chanted the Buddha's name.
Changsheng waved to several people, "Let's go, it's still early, there's no rush to sleep. There's still watermelon in my room, let's go eat it."
During the day, Shi Xuanming and Datou brought two watermelons to Zhang Mo. The Zhang Shan brothers and sisters only ate half of it and left. At this time, there was still one and a half watermelons in the room. After the four of them entered the room, Shi Xuanming cut the watermelon. Half a watermelon was cut open, and several people sat around the table eating the melon and talking.
Changsheng said, "I went to Qianzhong Road a few days ago to help Taiping Taoists survive the catastrophe. It also put an end to one of my worries. After all, we took away its turtle treasure, and it is still there. To take care of the reincarnated children of Monk Jianxing, our Notes on Conquering Demons and the Dharma Storehouse of the Right Eyes are all from Monk Jianxing. Taiping Taoists can also take good care of the reincarnated children of Monk Jianxing after surviving the catastrophe."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Yu Yi said, "It's the two of us who benefited, but the prince has to work hard..."
Before Yu Yi could finish speaking, Changsheng waved his hand and interrupted her, "On the way back, I took a detour to Jiangnan and found that the disaster and epidemic situation were extremely serious. When you came back from Lingnan, you should have seen something along the way. We have to raise funds as soon as possible. Fortunately, money and grain have been provided to help the victims. In addition to Luoyang being able to transport back 20 million taels, Long Haotian also gave us 66 million taels. Once Qingyang is recovered, there will be a continuous supply of rice grains from the Western Regions. shipped to Middle-earth.”
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, all three of them nodded.
Chang Sheng added, "Although the situation is still grim at present, there are already signs of improvement. The great victory in Luoyang not only severely damaged Zhu Quanzhong, but also greatly shocked those Jiedushi who supported their own troops. If Zhang Zhenren can do it next By successfully capturing Zhu Quanzhong and Sun Ru, we can expel the Japanese pirates and preserve the Dragon Vein, and if the people's livelihood can be improved, it is not impossible to restore order and revive the Tang Dynasty."
"The Japanese pirates are fanatical and paranoid. They cannot be expelled, they can only be eradicated." Yang Kai said calmly.
Changsheng nodded, then turned to speak, "It's no secret that I have returned safely. The Japanese pirates will also hear the news, and they can also guess that we will rush to Gupo Mountain to protect Weiyang before the end of the day."
"This is exactly what I am worried about," Yang Kai said, "They should know that your vitality has not recovered, and they have been in contact with us a lot in the past few months, and they know a lot about the martial arts skills of the four of us. Since they know We will go, and they will most likely come out in force and do whatever they can to hit us hard and get rid of us once and for all.”
After Yang Kai finished speaking, Changsheng frowned slightly and did not answer immediately. What Yang Kai said was indeed reasonable. Since he knew that they would go, the Japanese pirates had only two ways to deal with it. One was to avoid the truth and retreat temporarily, and the other was to take advantage of him. The vitality has not recovered and the blood is insufficient, so he directly summons heavy troops to confront the enemy head-on.
Thinking about it carefully, the second possibility is more likely, because he is the leader of everyone and the main force of his own side. His serious injury has not recovered, which is a god-given opportunity for the Japanese pirates. Moreover, everyone on our side had killed the seven major families of Japanese pirates in Silla before. The Japanese pirates who stayed in Middle-earth were bound to die in grief and harm their own kind. Whether it was to avenge the seven major families or to show that they were more powerful than the seven major families, Middle-earth now appears. Some of these Japanese pirates have the possibility of fighting to the death with them.
When Changsheng frowned and thought, Yang Kai said again, "Gupo Mountain is far away in Lingnan, and its location is extremely remote. It is impossible for us to mobilize troops on a large scale, and there are no troops in Lingnan to mobilize, but the thousands of Japanese pirates stranded in China all have spiritual energy cultivation. , they can gather quickly in a short period of time."
Changsheng nodded slowly, "Go on."
Yang Kai continued, "The Japanese pirates believe that you will definitely go into battle with injuries, and they also believe that the number of us participating in the battle will not be too many. In order to ensure that we are all taken down, they will probably summon all the Japanese pirates in the Central Plains there. If If we can take them by surprise and invite strong reinforcements, this battle may become the final battle between us and the Japanese pirates."
After Yang Kai finished speaking, Changsheng nodded again. Yang Kai's analysis did make sense, but there were only five days until the end of the day. Where could he find strong support in such a short time? Not long ago, a group of Taoists from Longhu Mountain had a fierce battle with the monsters summoned by Zhu Quanzhong, resulting in many casualties. Moreover, they needed to stay in the army to help Zhang Shan, and it was impossible for them to rush to Lingnan with him.
As for the imperial court, they can't count on it. Although there are some purple energy masters in the Yulin Army and the garrison, the emperor was once imprisoned and transferred. Since then, the emperor has strengthened the defense of the imperial city. The inner masters need to stay to protect the emperor, and they can't. transfer.
The most important thing is that the time is too short, there are only five days left. If the Japanese pirates come out in full force, there will be at least three thousand people. Even if they invite ten or eight purple energy masters, they have no chance of winning, because these Japanese pirates are not ordinary soldiers. They all have spiritual energy cultivation above blue energy.
With the help of a firearm? It didn't work. All the gunpowder from the Ministry of Industry was allocated to Zhang Shan. Even if Zhang Shan had not used it when he attacked Luoyang, it had to be left to him to deal with Sun Ru and Zhu Quanzhong. The most important thing was that Gupo Mountain was very large and was not conducive to firearms. usage of.
After thinking for a long time, Changsheng said, "What you said makes sense, but time is tight and there is no place to call for reinforcements."
"There is strong support, but it may not be available." Yang Kai said seriously.
Chang Sheng didn't understand why Yang Kai said this, he frowned and tilted his head, looking at him in confusion. Yu Yi and Shi Xuanming on the side also looked at Yang Kai with the same eyes.
Yang Kai stretched out his right index finger, dipped it in watermelon juice and wrote three words on the table.
The three of them turned their heads sideways and looked carefully, only to see that what Yang Kai wrote was "Shaolin Temple..."
