Hearing the words, Datou was very moved. He knew that the reason why he didn't share the bloody horse with him was because the two of them had a close relationship and had a close personal relationship, but he didn't expect that he was still thinking about finding birds to use as his mounts.

"Sir, you have so many things to do every day, so don't get distracted by these trivial matters." Datou said.

"This is not a trivial matter," he buried his head in writing. "This long-distance run made me understand one truth, that is, no matter how fast the horse is, it cannot outrun the birds. The black man may run fast enough, but he is still not as fast as the homing pigeon. The birds can fly in a straight line."

, but horses can only run along the winding roads. In addition, horses are not allowed to set foot in some places, so birds are more useful."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Datou sighed helplessly, "Sir, I don't know how to repay you for your kindness to me. Please stop worrying about me."

Hearing this, he stopped writing and raised his head, looking straight at his head.

Datou didn't know why he was staring at him, "Sir, it's not that I don't know how to praise, but..."

"But what?" he asked casually.

Datou didn't know how to answer, so he had to lower his head and say nothing.

Knowing what Datou was worried about, he pondered for a while and then made it clear, "You were injured and fainted during the martial arts competition that day. I have examined your injuries. I already knew that you were suffering from a chronic illness, and it was quite serious. During this time, I also

I have been worrying about this matter. Your chronic illness cannot be cured by ordinary medicinal stones. I still have a silver pill left by the King of Medicine in my hand, but this silver pill cannot heal your injuries and prolong your life. I already know

I will go to the Taiping Inn and ask them to pay careful attention to it. If there are any treasures of heaven and earth that can heal their wounds and extend their lives, they must take it no matter how expensive it is. If they need to get it in person, I will go there no matter how risky it is."

What he said made Datou stunned and his eyes turned red.

Worried that Da Tou was sad and sighing, he said casually, "Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth is in heaven, I will try my best. If I survive from a desperate situation, it is your fate. If I am unable to save it, it is due to my luck."

"Sir." Datou was so moved that he choked up.

"Okay, I made it clear today. You don't have to pretend to be so hard in the future." He raised his hand and dipped in ink and continued writing, "How is the situation in Shuzhou?"

Seeing that business was mentioned, Datou had no choice but to calm down and replied, "Just as you are worried, although the imperial court did not send troops to attack, the surrounding cities did not trade with them, and they could not get supplies. The four cities of Shuzhou had almost no food and grass."

It was all consumed, so before I left, I entrusted the merchants in Jiangnan to raise 10,000 dans of rice for them to meet their urgent needs."

After Da Tou finished speaking, he took out the gold seal that had been given to him before and carefully placed it on the desk.

"I don't have time

You have been taking care of the business of the Ni family, and the accounts are all in your hands. Take this gold seal, I have another one here." He said casually, the Ni family did not take them away before leaving.

of gold seal.

Da Tou waved his hands repeatedly and said it was inappropriate. Only when he frowned and raised his head did Da Tou take back the gold seal and said that before using it, he must ask for permission in advance.

At this time, I have finished writing about the bloody horse, and I have begun to ask for credit for the group of veterans from the Western Regions. The more powerful you are, the more cautious you should be with your words, because it is easy to be blamed for your great achievements, and you cannot directly ask the emperor to reward you.

These veterans were suspected of making decisions on behalf of the emperor, so in the memorial he could only try his best to describe the tragic situation of these veterans stationed in the Western Regions, as well as the fact that the Tang military flags were always hanging on the walls of the city where they were stationed, and he also had to tell about the instigation of the horse bandits in the Western Regions.

They only thought that the Emperor of Tang Dynasty had abandoned them, but this group of veterans always believed that the emperor and the court had not abandoned them. Faced with the provocation and persuasion of surrender by the horse bandits, the veterans remained unmoved and faced many times the situation.

Our own horse bandits attacked the city in groups, while the veterans held on to the territory of the Tang Dynasty and fought bloody battles, preferring death to surrender.

Although the memorial does not suggest what the emperor should do, it is certain that the emperor will reward these veterans heavily after reading the memorial.

While writing, he asked casually, "You should have met my second and third senior brothers. How are they doing?"

"It's okay," Datou said, "Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. The second master and the third master are worthy of being your fellow disciples. Compared with their own safety, the second master and the third master are more worried about your situation. You are so young."

Although you are young but hold a high position, they are very worried that the imperial court will do something that will destroy the birds and hide the bows. Furthermore, they are also very worried that their rebellion will drag down your Majesty. After all, the relationship between you is no longer a secret."

Da Tou did not answer the conversation when he spoke. What Da Tou said was within his expectation. Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu had always been very caring about their junior brother. When they learned that he was in Longhu Mountain, they were worried.

He would be looked down upon and looked down upon by others, and Li Zhongyong even specially asked Chen Li to travel all over the place to give him money.

At this time, he was writing an apology. Although he was a hussar general, he did not have military symbols. Naturally, he did not have the power to mobilize troops. It was undoubtedly an overstep of authority to ask these veterans to withdraw their defenses without permission. This seemed like a small matter, but it could not be done.

Not to mention, the emperor has many close ministers around him, and these ministers who can make comments at any time, including the emperor himself, must know that he is positioning himself correctly and knows what matters are not within his authority.

Datou made a hard trip, and the news he brought back was naturally more than this.

After a few words, he continued without waiting for questions, "Your Excellency asked me to ask the second master and the third master about their future plans, and I also asked. They are now in a dilemma. They also know that procrastinating like this is not a long-term solution, but there is no way to have it both ways.

If the law rises up and aims at Chang'an, but you are still in the court, they can't turn against you and fight with each other. If the delay continues, once the preparations for the new army of the imperial court are completed, they will definitely go to suppress the rebellion and suppress the rebellion."

After nodding, Datou continued, "I asked them privately if they had any thoughts of being recruited. The second master was a little tempted. However, the third master had a very bad impression of the imperial court and did not intend to serve the imperial court. The third master has some

Many close friends and confidants have the same ideas as Third Master, and I don’t know whether they influenced Third Master or whether Third Master influenced them."

At this time, he had finished writing the memorial. After listening to Da Tou's speech, he put down his brush, leaned back on his chair, frowned and sighed. He had already explained the matter of Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu to the emperor. The emperor's attitude was also very clear. The two committed crimes.

If you commit a serious crime, you must perform great meritorious deeds to atone for it, but Chen Liqiu does not want to make meritorious deeds for his crime, which makes it very difficult for him to do so.

However, he can also understand Chen Liqiu. What happened to Miss Zhao is an eternal pain in Chen Liqiu's heart. It is impossible for anyone, including him, to truly empathize with her. The Jiaofang was established by the imperial court, and in Chen Liqiu's view, the imperial court was a source of harm.

The main culprit of Miss Zhao's death, and the current emperor is the nephew of Prince Hong. It is reasonable for Chen Liqiu to be arrogant, hateful, and unwilling to serve the imperial court.

I understand and admire Chen Liqiu's reluctance to be recruited. If it were him, he would not compromise.

But this will create a deadlock. If you don't recruit, you will be surrounded and suppressed. The imperial court will definitely not send Zhang Shan's troops to encircle and suppress them. Whether it is Long Haotian's troops or Tongchen's troops, they will all be captured.

The capabilities of the four cities in Shuzhou. .??.

However, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu are not ordinary people. They have respectively practiced Xuanyin Magic and Chiyang Magic, which are derived from Hunyuan Magic. If the two of them join forces, it is possible that Long Haotian and Tong Chen will take action in person.

He was killed by their hands.

In addition, the two of them also memorized four magical secrets. With these eight magical secrets, the two of them were able to help and train a large number of martial arts masters in a very short period of time. These people were much more powerful than ordinary soldiers.

Datou could see that he was worried, but he couldn't hide it, "The third master has many cronies, and their families are all in the city. It would be very difficult for us to open up the net and let them leave. After all, they have a large number of people with their families."

, we dare not open the door to convenience for them."

"Do they have the idea of ​​​​migrating far away to avoid disaster?" I asked.

Datou smiled awkwardly, "Two

I am indifferent and open-minded, but the third master seems to be unwilling."

"I won't surrender, and I won't leave," he sighed helplessly, "What on earth do my third senior brothers want to do?"

"They seem to want to wait and see what happens," Datou said. "It's not all for themselves that they are staying. It's because if the court one day does something bad, you won't be left alone."

Heaving a sigh of relief, the two of them had no intention of being recruited, and the opportunity he had finally fought for them was useless.

Datou said in a low voice, "Sir, I heard the third master's tone, he seems very confident, I must have already had a countermeasure."

He didn't answer the call. He could understand Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu, but the two people's inability to leave did add a lot of trouble to him.

However, considering the change of position, his appointment as an official in the court would also make the two of them have more worries. If he had not become an official in the court, the two of them would have rebelled long ago. After all, at this time, the feudal towns were divided and the Tang Dynasty was besieged on all sides.

It was impossible for all the 300,000 new troops that the imperial court had finally raised to be used to attack them.

Seeing his worries, Datou spoke to comfort him, "Sir, things haven't gotten out of hand yet, so you might as well wait and see what happens."

He waved his hands sadly, "What's the use of just waiting to see what happens and the lice on your head move to your body? You'll have to face it sooner or later."

Datou couldn't think of any feasible solution, and he wanted to feel relieved but didn't know how to speak.

Chou sat for a moment, straightened up and picked up the written memorial and read it again. After making sure that the ink was dry and there were no typos, he closed the memorial and handed it to Datou, "Give it to Yang Kai and ask him to hand over the golden-furred horse."

The bloody horse was brought to the palace."

Datou took the memorial and said, "Those sweaty horses are a little tired after a long journey. Should I rest for a night and dress up before sending them over?"

"No," he waved his hand and said, "the sweaty horse is too powerful. Many people saw it when I returned to the city. The emperor will get the news soon. If he can't hold back and asks for it, we will eat Coptis chinensis in silence."

Well, if you still haven’t left your lost BMW, you’d better send it away as soon as possible.”

"Yes, yes, you are more considerate." Da Tou agreed repeatedly, turned around and stepped forward.

He stood up and followed him, "I have been away for many days, and the Ministry of Finance must have a backlog of official business. I will go to the Ministry of Finance."

"Okay, do you need me to go with you?" Datou asked.
Chapter completed!
