He didn't know why Zhang Mo had the aroma of orchid on his body, but he was sure of one thing, that is, the orchid aroma came from Zhang Mo himself and not from the external environment or the fragrance of clothes, because no matter where Zhang Mo was, he didn't care.

No matter what kind of clothes she wears, there will always be a faint orchid fragrance on her body.

Feeling confused, he took a deep breath and smelled it. No, for some reason, Zhang Mo did not have that special orchid fragrance on his body today.

He said he had something to ask, so Zhang Mo looked at him and waited for him to speak. Seeing that he was still reluctant to speak, he urged him, "What's the matter? But it doesn't matter."

The dragon vein map was of great importance. I had doubts in my heart, so I did not mention it, but temporarily changed the question to another question, "Uncle Master, I have been studying the Shangqing magic recently, so please come to me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Mo waved his hand and interrupted him, "What did I think? As the saying goes, the great road is invisible. Everyone has different experiences in the study of magic. It is difficult to learn from others. You need to understand and figure it out yourself.

"

Originally he was just confused, but after hearing Zhang Mo's words, the doubts in his mind turned into suspicion. He began to suspect that the Zhang Mo in front of him was not who he was.

Even if he became suspicious, he never showed his expression, "Yes, yes, uncle, what you said makes sense. By the way, uncle, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

"Don't bother, I already had it on the way here." Zhang Mo shook his head and picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

Seeing Zhang Mo holding a cup and drinking tea, I began to wonder if I was being too preoccupied, because Zhang Mo's movement of holding a cup and drinking water was no different from before.

"Uncle Master, I have already allocated the military supplies for the new army," he said. "It's just that the treasury is empty and there is insufficient money and food. The Ministry of Commerce can only provide three months of the scheduled six months of military supplies. I will find a solution as soon as possible for the rest."

"It's hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. It's really hard for you," Zhang Mo said casually, "Now the recruitment of the new army has been completed, and your two senior brothers have occupied Shuzhou and other places. You must be mentally prepared. The court is likely to let the newly formed army

The new army will go to recapture these cities."

Hearing what Zhang Mo said, all doubts disappeared, he closed his eyes and shook his head, sighing deeply.

"Has anything happened in Chang'an recently?" Zhang Mo asked.

This was the second time Zhang Mo asked a similar question. He wanted to talk about the Dragon Vein Map, but he swallowed it back, "It's nothing. I just copied the Anxiang Tower in the city a few days ago."

Well, I got more than eight million taels of silver."

"Where's Ni Chenyi? Did she write to you after she went to the Western Regions?" Zhang Mo asked again.

I no longer doubted Zhang Mo's identity at first, but after hearing what she said, I started to feel suspicious again, because Ni Chenyi was a Taoist, and Zhang Mo, as a master uncle, rarely called her by name, calling her Sanyizi.

Most of the time.

"No," he shook his head and said, "I don't know how she is doing now."

Zhang Mo said casually, "The Ni family has treated you well. Before leaving, they left all their property to you."

"Yes," he nodded, "By the way, uncle, I sent them west that day, and you and uncle left for the south. We met at the crossroads. What was in the box you gave her?"

"A scripture, kept as a souvenir." Zhang Mo said.

As soon as Zhang Mo said this, his hair stood on end. The two groups did meet in the city that day, but Zhang Mo didn't give anything to Ni Chenyi. He asked deliberately to confirm Zhang Mo's identity, and Zhang Mo's answer

It was directly confirmed that the Zhang Mo in front of him was not Zhang Mo himself.

Having had the experience of being slept with by a rat demon before, I immediately suspected that the Zhang Mo in front of me was a demon in disguise, because it was already dark when Zhang Mo appeared, and demons and ghosts usually appear at night.

There is another reason for nervousness and palpitations, that is, it is not difficult to see from what this person said before that this person knows the situation between him and Zhang Mo very well. Not only does he know that he and Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu are brothers, he even knows that Zhang Mo

His words and deeds can all be imitated so perfectly.

Even though he had discovered the other party's flaws, he was not in a hurry to expose the other party. No matter what he did, he had to have a motive. The other party took a big risk by pretending to be Zhang Mo and approaching him. He wanted to find out why the other party pretended to be Zhang Mo.

In order to confirm whether the other party was a monster, I picked up the teapot and poured tea for him, then handed the tea cup over. When the person stretched out his hand to accept it, he touched her finger intentionally or unintentionally. Just a slight touch confirmed this person.

He is indeed a living person, not a monster.

Since it is not a monster, there is only one possibility, the art of disguise.

After handing the tea cup to this person, he stood up from his seat and said, "Uncle Master, please wait a moment. I'll ask them to buy some fruit."

The man nodded.

He moved his chair and turned around. He did this to turn his back on this person. If this person pretended to be Zhang Mo in order to take his life, this would be a good opportunity.

However, the man did not take action. He walked out of the room, called the guards over, and ordered them to go out and buy some fruits and snacks.

After sitting down again, I had confirmed that this person was not pretending to be Zhang Mo to kill him. This made me even more confused about what this person wanted to do by taking the risk.

He didn't know the details of the other party, and he didn't dare to speak casually. In order to avoid making the other party suspicious, he had to sigh and pretend to be worried.

"Have you encountered anything recently?" the visitor asked.

This is the third time this person has asked a similar question, and I immediately thought of it

It is possible that the person came here because of something that happened recently. Because he was worried that asking direct questions would make him suspicious, so he would make indirect suggestions and guide him, trying to get him to speak out on his own initiative.

"Nothing happened, I'm just a little worried about my senior brother and the others," he said.

"This matter is indeed difficult," the visitor nodded and said, "I understand who you are. You miss your old friendship. They were all your senior brothers before you joined Longhu Mountain. By the way, your master had several other disciples besides you.

?”

As soon as the visitor said this, he immediately realized that the other party was probably coming for Mayumi Takeda. To make sure, he casually said, "In addition to me, the master also had four disciples when he was alive, three men and one woman."

"Is there a woman?" The visitor seemed a little surprised.

If he had never doubted the visitor's identity, he would never have thought twice about what the visitor said. However, he had already doubted the visitor's identity, so he was always alert. As soon as the other party said this, he immediately guessed it.

The other party came for Takeda Mayumi.

"Yes, her name is Tian Mayumi," she said, "I saw her not long ago."

"Tama Yum? How come you have such a strange name?" Someone answered.

"She is an envoy sent by Japan to the Tang Dynasty, not from our Tang Dynasty," he said. "This time she came to Chang'an for business. I met her and invited her to a meal."

"Isn't the imperial court looking for the Tang envoy? How dare she come to Chang'an?" the visitor asked.

Hearing people's words, she thought anxiously. She first met Takeda Mayumi in the Dali Temple Prison. At that time, she was accompanied by two male envoys to the Tang Dynasty. The two male envoys to the Tang Dynasty must have seen his appearance. They cannot be ruled out.

It was possible that they found out that he deliberately released water that night. If the two found out that he deliberately released water that night, they would have followed Takeda Mayumi the next day. If they followed Takeda Mayumi, they would have discovered that Takeda Mayumi had met him.

It is not unreasonable for him to have such a guess, because on the night of the incident, Takeda Mayumi went back to get the hairpin under the big locust tree, and a male envoy to the Tang Dynasty followed and watched. This shows that this person was extremely careful and did not completely believe Takeda Mayumi.

The Dragon Vein Map is extremely important to the Japanese, and they will never allow any accidents to occur on the map. This person came pretending to be Zhang Mo, probably to confirm the authenticity of the map in their hands.

"She is here to save people," he said. "This matter is a long story. Recently, the imperial court is rectifying the administration of officials. The Yushitai has sent inspection envoys to all major prefectures and counties. The arresters of the Yushitai are not enough.

I went to Dali Temple a few days ago. During the banquet, Yang Shuyun mentioned that Dali Temple was searching for the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. I was worried that Tian Zhengong was also arrested, so I went with him to see the female supervisor. Who would have thought that an assassin would rob the prison?

There are three people in total, Tian Mayumi is one of them."

explain

There was a slight pause here, then he continued, "That night I felt that the woman looked a bit like her, but I didn't dare to confirm it, so I didn't take them down. As a result, Mayumi Tada came to the door the next day. I asked her why she broke into prison to save people.

She didn't say anything, and I didn't delve into it, so I invited her to have a meal. Later, I heard from Yu Yi that they broke into the Dali Temple prison again that night, but they couldn't rescue anyone."

"Who is Yu Yi?" the visitor asked.

"A nun was originally a police officer of Dali Temple," he said. "Dali Temple sent her to investigate the assassination of Prince Hong. She found out that the matter was related to me but did not report it. Later, when I became powerful, I transferred her here.

She went to Yushitai. Her old acquaintances were all in Dali Temple and she often went back. On the night of the incident, she happened to go to see Zhang Ziyan to reminisce about the past."

"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different. You, a senior sister, have no law and can rob people of prison and hurt others. You must keep a distance from her." The visitor warned.

"Actually, she doesn't need to be jailed at all," he said. "If she tells me the truth, I can directly ask Dali Temple to release her. It is the Japanese ronin who invaded the border, not these envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. There is actually no reason for the court to arrest them.

.”

The visitor nodded slowly.

At this moment, someone outside reported that there were officials from the three departments asking to see him.

Hearing this, he turned around and looked at the person who came, "In order to rectify the officialdom, many officials need to be arrested. In the past few days, there are always people coming to ask for mercy. Uncle, please sit down for a while, and I will go and meet with him."

The visitor nodded, "Go ahead."

He opened the door and felt relieved to be outside. He was glad that someone could come to see him at this time, because he needed time to think about the details.

Datou had been sent out by him before, presumably on Datou's behalf. Yang Kai was about to come to the backyard to help him feed the horses, and the two of them walked out of the corridor to meet each other.

He glanced back to make sure that the man hadn't followed, and whispered to Yang Kai, "Go to the Taiping Inn immediately and find Song Cai, the shopkeeper on the third floor, and ask him to prepare eight old Taoist instruments.

Don't prepare too much, it's just for everyone in the Beggar Clan."

Yang Kai nodded, turned and left.

When he came to the lobby to talk to the officials of the Third Division, he didn't take anything he said to heart. He kept weighing and weighing in his mind. This person was undoubtedly sent by the Japanese to confirm whether he knew about the dragon vein map. If this person was taken away

If this happens, the other party may guess that the dragon vein map has been leaked, and Takeda Mayumi will immediately be in danger.

This person cannot be captured, let alone killed. She must be allowed to escape intact.

Rather than letting her return empty-handed, she had to take away the eight Taoist magical artifacts, because this person had previously offered to deliver the magical artifacts to the eight Purple Qi masters who were escorting the Ni family.
