Seeing how angry Chang Sheng was, Zhang Mo said with a smile, "Why don't you go back earlier, the autumn night is cold, don't keep Yu Yi waiting for a long time."
"I don't." Changsheng curled his lips.
"Let's go, let's go, the days are long." Zhang Mo urged with a wave of his hand.
"The days are long?" Changsheng tilted his head and smiled evilly, "Hey, that makes sense."
Zhang Mo was born in a Taoist family, he was upright and bright, and he was extraordinary. After a moment of confusion, he realized that Changsheng was deliberately being evil and misinterpreting the idiom, and he also knew how to persuade him not to leave. In desperation, he had no choice but to shake the reins and urge the horse to lead the way.
Changsheng followed behind on horseback. As he was marching, he looked left and right and saw a medicine shop in front of him closing the door. He hurriedly rushed his horse and threw a piece of silver from his horse to the shopkeeper, "One tael each of Patchouli, Angelica dahurica, and nutmeg. Grind it finely and mix it up. I'll come back to pick it up in half an hour, and I'll reward you with the extra silver."
Zhang Mo saw Chang Sheng's actions and heard what he said to the shop owner, but she did not ask Chang Sheng why he did this. As a member of the Taoist sect who is involved in the art of Qihuang, she naturally knew what Chang Sheng said. All three medicines are pungent.
It was said that it was half an hour, but the drug store owner waited for Changsheng for a full hour before he hurried back, and the horse he had previously ridden disappeared.
After waiting for more than an hour in the middle of the night, the drugstore owner was too sleepy to open his eyes. However, when he saw the return of Changsheng, not only did he not complain at all, but instead served tea and water and greeted him with a smile.
The reason why the shopkeeper is so diligent is not because he is kind-hearted and kind to others, but because Changsheng gave him more rewards before. These rewards can cover half of his monthly income. All people who have achieved great things can understand the difficulties of others and give more. Take less and be generous. All philistines will make calculations, haggle over every detail, and be stingy in their efforts.
Of course, Changsheng would not sit down to drink tea. He grabbed the packet of medicinal powder and walked out quickly. When the shop owner chased him out of the door, Changsheng had disappeared.
The ancients said: Living with good people is like entering a house of orchids, living with unkind people is like entering a house of abalones. Everyone will be affected by the environment. The longer you stay in a certain environment, the greater the impact. After an hour, Changsheng was already filled with the fragrance of orchids.
When Changsheng arrived outside the city and saw Yu Yi, the scent of orchids on his body had long been covered up by patchouli and other medicines. Yu Yiyi said that he had not agreed on a return time before leaving, nor had he ever ridden a horse, so he came here to wait to be greeted.
The remaining one has dark blue spiritual energy and does not have much spiritual energy reserves in his body. Since Yang Kai is not accompanying him and he cannot replenish his spiritual energy in a short period of time, he can only send Changsheng back to Chang'an first, while he stays in Luoyang temporarily and waits for the spiritual energy to recover on its own.
When he returned to Chang'an, he found that only Shi Xuanming stayed in the house, while the auras of Yang Kai and Datou appeared in the night market in Xicheng. As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was the busiest time in the city at the third watch.
Even though he knew where the two of them were, Changsheng never went to look for them. No matter what he did, he had to combine work and rest. After finally relaxing for a few days, let them go.
Due to being very tired, Changsheng returned to the palace and washed up and went to bed. When he got up early the next morning, he found that Yu Yi and Yang Kai had returned, both in their respective rooms. Shi Xuanming was also in the palace, with only the bronze talisman on the big head. Still in Xicheng.
Changsheng was very familiar with Chang'an and naturally knew that Da Tou's location was Fireworks Willow Alley, but even if he knew, he pretended not to know, because although Da Tou was a dwarf, he was also a man.
Changsheng had always disliked going to court. After waking up, he ate breakfast alone in his room. Then he took out the book of strange stories in the wilderness and continued to look through it. He couldn't run around aimlessly this time. He had to make up his mind before setting off. Those places where you want to go next, and specific routes to move based on the areas and locations of these places.
At Mao Shi, Yu Yi came. Earlier, Chang Shengsheng took Murong Feng to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to receive an errand. She had already finished the matter, and Murong Feng had already gone to Ye Ting to work as an errand.
After hearing what Yu Yi said, Changsheng asked casually, "Do you think this person will cause us trouble?"
Yu Yi thought for a while and replied, "It's hard to say. It's easy to change one's nature but hard to change one's nature. This man's heart is not right and he will never be able to change his mind. However, he also knows that he has caused a big disaster and he will probably be able to restrain himself for a while."
Changsheng nodded, "It's rare for me to have some free time. Let's go see your junior sister. Don't worry that the magic talisman will reveal your whereabouts. You are a monk, so it's normal to go to the nunnery. Our salaries are all in the palace's account. If you need money, just go to the accounting office to withdraw it." "
Yu nodded and stood up, excused himself and left.
At Chen time, Datou came and changed his clothes. He also came to report on errands. Previously, Changsheng had ordered him to take out the silver coins stored in the mansion and send them to Beidou Palace. Since the silver stored in the mansion were huge silver ingots the size of a manger, the shipment was also very difficult. Conveniently, it had already been loaded onto the truck and sent out yesterday evening, accompanied by a hundred garrison troops. Since the entire route was in areas controlled by the imperial court, there was no need for too many soldiers to escort it.
After Datou finished speaking, Changsheng asked casually, "You didn't pull up the flags and hang the flags, did you?"
The big head waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, what I am saying is that it is not a glorious thing for my daughter to let others take advantage of her. If I really pull up the banners and hoist the flag, won't I show my face to attack the Beidou Palace?"
"Yun Zhenzi has a silver talisman, and he has not yet made a clear position," Changsheng said. "Even if this person cannot be used by the court, we should try not to force him into the hostile camp."
Datou sighed, "I understand the truth, but it's a pity that one million taels. When the fake emperor made trouble, we, the swindlers, collected 10 million taels and gave it to the court. All the property left by the Ni family was wiped out by us. Well, the one million taels in the house is our last personal money. If you give it to him, if you use the money in the future, you will have nowhere to go."
Changsheng turned over a page and continued reading, "Don't feel bad about the one million taels. Even if we don't give it to Yun Zhenzi, we still have to give it to Murong Feng according to the agreement. What's more, we all have salaries, and I still get the prince. Two stipends, the stipends for the five of us, Lumi, plus the land rent for the workplace, should be 70,000 to 80,000 taels a year, which is enough."
"It's more than 70,000 to 80,000 taels. I did the math and found that there are 120,000 taels." Datou said.
"That's right, as long as you have enough money, it's useless to have more." Changsheng saw a useful clue while speaking, and then he picked up his pen and started writing.
Seeing that Changsheng had been busy, Datou stood up and left.
Changsheng wanted to stop Da Tou and order him to find a girl from a good family, but he swallowed the words before he spoke. Everyone wants to save face, so he had better not say it.
Changsheng had been running around all day long and had not lived in the palace for a long time. Now that Changsheng has returned to the palace, the servants of the palace come to deliver the menu as usual. The so-called menu is somewhat similar to the emperor turning over the concubine's brand when he goes to bed. The plate was filled with small wooden signs with the names of the dishes written on them, and the prince could order whatever he wanted.
The prince can not only decide what to eat, but also when to eat, because the kitchen has a stove and a fire all day long, and a cook is always on standby. As the prince whose status is second only to the emperor, his salary is still very high, and he can not only do everything he wants The palace maids and eunuchs, as well as the ceremonial guards, sedans, chariots and horses for traveling are also all available, but Changsheng does not pay attention to ostentation and rarely mobilizes troops and crowds.
Due to excessive concentration, Changsheng did not order the cook to cook some simple meals until sunset. After dinner, he continued to read, read and sift. Although the Great Wilderness Identity Record only has more than 200,000 words, it is easy to read and read, but difficult to sift through. After all, there are only You can’t go everywhere in a month.
Yu Yi returned to the palace at the beginning of the night. In order to confuse her whereabouts, she visited several other nunneries after visiting her junior sister, which is why she came back so late.
At this time, Datou, Yang Kai and Shi Xuanming were not in the house. All three of them knew how to drink, especially Shi Xuanming. The three of them were at the banquet building, and they were undoubtedly drinking.
In order to avoid being criticized by civil servants for forming cliques for personal gain, Changsheng told the concierge that all the court officials would not see him. It was not that no one came to see him, but that all those who saw him were kept out of the house.
At about 6:00 the next day, Song Cai asked to see him. Song Cai came to discuss with the Ministry of Household Affairs what kind of goods the grain team would bring on its return trip. There were also markets in the Western Regions, and timely communication of information could increase the benefits of exchange.
Changsheng stayed with Song Cai to have lunch together, and then wrote a letter to Ni Chenyi. The letter only said that the Zhang family spoke highly of her and was very friendly. Considering that she was tired from traveling, there was no need for her to come in person. If you come to see Zhang Mo, just greet him with a letter.
After sending Song Cai away, Changsheng continued to work at his desk until the third watch. It was not because he was diligent and self-disciplined, but because he could sense the location of all the spiritual talismans. At this time, many spiritual talismans, including Long Haotian, were everywhere. Move, and several of their movement trajectories actually overlap with the areas where the spiritual objects recorded in the Great Wilderness Chronicles are located. This shows that these guys are also looking for rare spiritual objects everywhere. In order to avoid being caught first by others, everyone on our side also We must get on the road as soon as possible.
In the past few days, most of the nights were spent staying up late. Shi Xuanming and Yang Kai often went out together, sometimes taking Yu Yi with them. The place they went to most often was the Yanbin Building.
Yanbin Restaurant is the most expensive restaurant in Chang'an. It costs a lot of money to go there. However, Changsheng not only doesn't feel anything wrong, but is actually very pleased. Datou and others do this not because they want to spend a lot of time and alcohol, but because they know that they may meet in the future. Why should I compensate myself in advance, so that if I die in battle one day, I will have less regrets.
Chang Sheng didn't quite understand Da Tou's wandering around the alley of fireworks at first. You have to know that Da Tou holds a high position and even if he is disabled, it is easy to find a good girl.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Changsheng finally understood that Datou had also prepared for the worst, not wanting to die in battle one day, betray his true feelings, and leave behind worries.
On the evening of the fifth day, Changsheng called to everyone, "I have almost sorted out the clues in the Great Wilderness Record. I will have another night's rest tonight and get up early tomorrow to set off..."
