Knowing that they were going to see Zhang Shan, Ni Zuo and Ni Chenyi got up to see him off. Ni Zuo always had a faint smile on his face, and Ni Chenyi was in a very low mood, unable to hide his annoyance and frustration.

Accompanied by the two of them, they walked out of Ni Mansion. Young Master Hei, who was lying under the wall basking in the sun, saw him coming out, so he got up and walked over to him. He usually did not tie his horse when traveling on horseback. Young Master Hei was very smart and also used

If you don't tie it, it will cause resistance and disgust from the black master.

"Your mount is very smart. It actually knows how to step forward to greet the Lord." Ni Tuo said with a smile.

He said casually, "It is not an ordinary horse. The mare was bitten by a zombie when she was pregnant with it. The corpse poison may have stimulated her mind and potential. Not only is she very smart, she can also run thousands of miles a day." .??.??

Hearing this, Ni Zhuo became curious and looked at Mr. Hei up and down, but Ni Chenyi's mind was not on Mr. Hei. "You go early and come back early. I'll wait for you to come back."

He nodded, handed over to Ni Zhuo, got on his horse, shook the reins and headed east.

There are many disguised informants lingering around the Ni family. When passing by these people on horseback, they will raise their eyebrows and glare. He wants to let these people know that he already knows that the imperial court is monitoring the Ni family, and he also hopes that these informants will bring his

How to report various performances to the court.

Zhang Shan, the protector of the country, also holds the position of grand master. The protector of the country is just a title and has no rank. Although the grand master is also a false position, he is a first-class official. On the day of the canonization, the court arranged for Zhang Shan to be a grand master.

official residence.

The Grand Master's Mansion was also in the east city. He rode there on horseback. After half a stick of incense, he arrived in front of the Grand Master's Mansion. Zhang Shan should have said hello to the concierge. When he saw him arriving, the concierge hurriedly came out to greet him and bowed to him.

He turned over and let Young Master Hei free, and then followed the concierge to the mansion. He turned around and found that Young Master Hei had gone to the place where the horse was tied outside the mansion and lay down. This move by Young Master Hei had a strong sense of showing off, because that row

There are several horses tied to the horse-tying stone. Because they are tied, they can only stand but cannot lie down.

The Grand Master is a first-class official, so the residence is naturally not shabby. It occupies a large area and has many rooms. However, compared with the Ni family, the buildings and pavilions of the Grand Master's residence appear a bit old, with darker tones and a sense of solemnity.

Depressed.

The horses outside indicated that Zhang Shan had guests, and the concierge did not take him to the main hall, but to a secluded room in the east courtyard.

He must have heard the footsteps, and the door was opened. Zhang Mo waved from the room, gesturing for him to come in and talk.

Seeing Zhang Mo's calm expression, the anxiety and tension in his heart were greatly reduced, and he quickly entered the house.

Because he didn't know how to address Zhang Mo, he hesitated and did not open his mouth to greet him. If he completely complied with the imperial edict, he was no longer a Taoist of Longhu Mountain at this time and should call Zhang Mo Zhenren Zhang. However, if he really called Zhang Mo "Zhang Zhenren"

Zhenren seems to have blasphemous intentions, so he deliberately downplays his seniority with Zhang Mo.

It wasn't until Zhang Mo closed the door that he came back to his senses, bent down and cupped his hands, "I've met my uncle."

<

br> "Were you thinking about the title just now?" Zhang Mo asked with a smile.

Laughing is the default.

"My brother is meeting guests, let's sit down for a while." Zhang Mo turned and walked towards the round table in the room.

The round table was not big, with a wooden chair on the top, bottom, left and right. Zhang Mo sat on the wooden chair on the west side and the wooden chair on the east side. The main seat in the north was reserved for Zhang Shan.

Zhang Mobi is eight years older, has a mature mind, and is more knowledgeable. He is not that embarrassed. After sitting down, he went straight to the topic, "We know that the marriage grant has nothing to do with you, but the emperor's move still made me quite awkward. But

This was both beyond our expectations and within our expectations.”

Zhang Mo's calmness also impressed me, "What is unexpected and what is expected?"

Zhang Mo said, "First of all, as expected, you are the son-in-law chosen by the Ni family in the martial arts contest. You are also the young leader of our Longhu Mountain, and you are also an important official of the imperial court. You have three identities. This is

What the Emperor doesn't want to see is that if he wants to re-appoint you, he must ensure that you can only be loyal to him in the future, so we had already guessed that he would try to alienate you from Longhushan and the Ni family. But what we didn't expect was us

I didn't expect that he would start so early and use such extreme methods. However, although the move of granting the marriage was eccentric, it was extremely clever. It not only alienated Longhushan and the Ni family, but also alienated you from Longhushan and the Ni family.

At the same time, the relationship between the family also demonstrates the majesty of the imperial power. He can abolish the Taoist certificate granted by Longhu Mountain, and he can also abolish the results of the Ni family's martial arts contest to recruit relatives."

Zhang Mo finished speaking and nodded slowly. Her analysis was similar to Ni Zhuo's.

"I just came from the Ni family," he said. "There are informants sent by the imperial court everywhere around the Ni family."

"I know," Zhang Mo said, "Longhushan and the Ni family have always been on good terms. After the dynasty dispersed, my brother wanted to send someone a letter to explain clearly, but the person who sent the letter found that there were many suspicious people near the Ni Mansion.

, I was worried that trouble would arise, so I didn’t come rashly."

"Looking at this posture, the imperial court wants to take action against the Ni family." He said.

"This is also what we expected," Zhang Mo nodded, "At this time, we and the Shaolin Temple are recruiting new troops separately. Long Haotian of the Beggar Clan is also recruiting new troops. The court has set a limit for us with 100,000 new troops.

With one million taels of fundraising and military supplies, if the Ni family secretly supports and gives private gifts, we can recruit more new troops. The court is worried that we recruit too many troops and have self-respect, so they rush to attack the Ni family to ensure

We can’t get funding from the Ni family.”

As soon as Zhang Mo finished speaking, Zhang Shan opened the door and came in. Seeing this, he stood up quickly and said, "I've met my uncle."

Zhang Shan waved his hand, went straight to the main seat in the north and sat down, then turned to look at Zhang Mo, "Where did you tell him?"

The two of them had barely exchanged a few words, so I heard

Zhang Shan asked, and Zhang Mo explained the conversation between the two in a concise and concise manner to Zhang Shan.

After Zhang Mo finished speaking, Zhang Shan turned around and said, "You don't have to worry that we will doubt you. You must not have known about the emperor's marriage in advance."

"Thank you, uncle." He thanked him hurriedly.

"What do the Ni family think about this matter?" Zhang Shan asked.

"They also know that the emperor is trying to drive a wedge between us. What Mr. Ni means is that I showed my talents when eradicating the eunuchs, and the Ni family is the richest in the world. You will soon have a heavy army. The emperor is worried that we will join forces to seize the opportunity.

His throne." He said.

"Eradicate the eunuchs?" Zhang Shan glanced at them and said, "The main culprits have all run away, how can we eradicate them?"

I don't know why, but I was always a little afraid of this uncle, and I didn't dare to answer him when he criticized me.

Zhang Shan added, "But what Ni Zhuo said is indeed true. The emperor's move is indeed to prevent problems before they happen. But the emperor is not to blame for this. We do have the ability to change the situation. It is reasonable for the emperor to have concerns."

middle."

No nod, no answer.

"What are the Ni family's plans?" Zhang Shan asked.

"They want to move their family to stay away from disasters, and leave their family property and money to you to subsidize military pay when you go to war." said.

"It's wise to just leave to protect yourself," Zhang Shan nodded, "Since you want to leave, you might as well leave early. If it's too late, something might happen."

"Yes." nodded.

"Did they let you go with them?" Zhang Shan asked again.

He replied, "They know that as long as you are here, I can't leave. I have to stay to ensure military supplies for you. However, Mr. Ni seems not very optimistic about the general trend of the world."

"To tell you the truth, I'm not optimistic either," Zhang Shan said in a deep voice, "but we still have to do what we should do. If our parents are terminally ill and we know they won't be cured, then we just stand by and do nothing and don't treat them?"

Hearing the words, he nodded slowly. Zhang Shan's words were very reasonable. However, it cannot be concluded that Zhang Shan's pattern is higher than that of Ni Zhuo. It is that businessmen and Taoists have different philosophies on life. Businessmen are good at weighing pros and cons, while Taoists advocate the clear distinction between yin and yang.

Zhang Shan raised his eyebrows and looked, "I'm just asking you, in this situation like what I just said, what would you do if it were you?"

Zhengse replied, "You do it even if you know you can't do it, and you will lose everything, but you still have to treat it. Even if you don't recover in the end, you can live one day longer, and live longer for a while."

Zhang Shan was quite satisfied with the answer and nodded happily, "Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is the duty of a minister. Helping the world and rescuing people is the purpose of Taoism. I don't know what Ni Zhuo told you. What I want to tell you is that everyone in the world is a parent.

, Parents are human beings too, and they also make mistakes, but just because our parents make mistakes, do we feel resentful and disloyal and unfilial?"

Hearing this, he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Master Ni didn't say anything to me. I understand what you mean. The Emperor is also a human being and may make mistakes. Even if we make mistakes, we should be sincere and kind and help with all our heart, rather than having two ambitions.

, false words destroy the establishment.”

Hearing the words, Zhang Mo smiled, because these words were exactly what she said at Baoqing Inn that day.

Zhang Shan also looked pleased, "People will have selfish motives, and the emperor is no exception. As a minister, you must be tolerant and understanding. What's more, the emperor is just suspicious and seriously ill, not an unscrupulous king. You must not let him use scheming against you."

, and you are resentful because of the stratagem, it means that you are narrow-minded and have no tolerance for others. In fact, the emperor treats you well. My sister-in-law is naturally beautiful, beautiful and intelligent, and has acquired mysterious magic and superhuman martial arts.

Do you think the emperor is not interested in a woman like her? Why not include her in the harem but give her to you? This is a reward for your loyalty to the emperor and the country, and it is the greatest respect for you."

"Brother, what are you talking about? Even if he really has this intention, I will never agree to it." Zhang Mo felt embarrassed.

"Uncle, I, I, I..."

"Okay, stop pretending in front of me," Zhang Shan frowned and waved his hands, "You really treat everyone in the world as a fool. Since the emperor has pierced this layer of window paper, you should stop hiding it. I know you

My favorite, I also know that I like you. In fact, I have been secretly paying attention to you these years. But looking at the world, there seems to be no man who is worthy of you. But you can catch my eye. In this world, you can live up to your fate.

There are not many people who want to avenge you even if they see you being humiliated and even risk their lives for you, which shows that he is deeply devoted to you. Since he doesn't think you are old, don't think he is young either."

Zhang Shan's words directly made the two of them blush. Before they could speak, Zhang Shan rushed out and said, "Don't be complacent. In fact, you are far behind. You are unstable, reckless, impulsive, narrow-minded, and short-sighted."

, you must remember that the fact that he can give up his sister-in-law to you shows his great ambition and high level. For this reason, you should always remember him and cherish him for the rest of your life."

Zhang Mo didn't like hearing it anymore and frowned, "Brother, I've said it before, even if he really has this intention, I will never agree to it, so how can I say 'give it up'?"

He didn’t like to hear it either, “If he really did that, I might not kill him, but I wouldn’t work for him either.”

"It's true that girls are outgoing." Zhang Shan glanced at Zhang Mo, then turned and said, "Don't say harsh words in front of me, you don't even have purple energy cultivation, who did you kill? Okay,

Without saying this, when does Ni Zhuo want to leave?"

"Before sunset." said.

Zhang Shan nodded and said, "Take away as much as you can. Don't be afraid of trouble caused by too many carriages and horses. It is very dangerous now that the war is in chaos and there is no one to protect you. I am coming back this time with eight purple energy masters. At the moment, they
