Hearing Sasaki's words, he and Zhang Mo almost laughed out loud. Everyone else wanted to save face and suffer the consequences, but this Sasaki did the opposite. He didn't want to save face and suffer the consequences. In order to save his life, he had no integrity and no bottom.

"Okay, I promise you," he said, suppressing a smile and nodding, "You go back and try to find out as much information as possible. If they send you here next time, they will do what they did today. They will take you first, and then try to make you whole body.

retreat."

"Thank you, thank you, Miss Zhang Mo," Sasaki thanked him repeatedly.

At this time, the soldiers outside the tent had heard the sound and entered the tent. Zhang Mo waved to them, indicating that they should retreat first, and then turned to Sasaki and said, "Don't be too busy thanking me. Let me ask you, why are you so afraid of death?"

Want to be a dead soldier?"

"I don't want to be a soldier, they forced me to be a soldier," Sasaki said hurriedly. "I am an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. I can speak Chinese and do martial arts, so they forced me to be a jade-breaking warrior. Meiko is still waiting for me in Japan. I

I still want to see her again and don’t want to die in Middle-earth.”

After Zhang Mo nodded, he said again, "Remember, you must tell me the truth at all times. As long as you tell the truth, I will never kill you. But if you lie to me, even just once, I will

It also makes it impossible for you to come back."

"Okay, okay, I remember, I will never lie." Sasaki promised.

Seeing that there were no more questions, Zhang Mo called for the soldiers to carry Sasaki out and to the stable for detention.

After the soldiers carried Sasaki away, Zhang Mo smiled and sat next to him, "Although this Japanese is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is not annoying."

Yi smiled and said, "Yes, true villains who mean what they mean are not annoying, but hypocrites who mean what they mean are what is annoying."

"Yes," Zhang Mo nodded, "This person may be of great use in the future."

After nodding, he stood up and said, "I brought something for you and brother, I'll go out and bring it in."

"I'm not busy," Zhang Mo stretched out his hand to hold him, "I have a question to ask you."

"What?" he asked casually.

"If they really take me, will you hand over the sacred bones they said?" Zhang Mo asked with a smile.

"Yes." He gave the answer without thinking.

"Do you know that handing over the sacred bones may destroy the fate of the Tang Dynasty and affect thousands of people?" Zhang Mo smiled half-heartedly.

"I know." Nod.

"Then you still hand over the sacred bones?" Zhang Mo asked.

Said, "I care about the fate of the Tang Dynasty, and I also care about the people, but I will definitely not sacrifice you for them. Besides, that urn was originally my unexpected gain. The worst I can do is return it to them and start all over again."

> "Aren't you afraid of people scolding you?" Zhang Mo asked with a smile.

"Why are they scolding me? I don't owe them anything," he glared, "They are only satisfied if I kill my relatives for justice? Go away, I will definitely not be killed, even my relatives can be killed, so what's the point of loyalty?"

"If one day the emperor..."

Before Zhang Mo could finish speaking, he waved his hand and interrupted her, "I don't owe him anything either. If he is smart, he'd better not let me choose between you, otherwise he will definitely be disappointed."

"Don't talk nonsense," Zhang Shan's voice came from outside the tent. Then the curtains were opened and Zhang Shan stepped in and scolded him sternly, "Young and frivolous, narrow-minded and rebellious."

Seeing the rebuke, Zhang Mo winked at him hurriedly, "Didn't you bring something for eldest brother? Why don't you bring it in?"

He escaped smoothly and ran out to unload the wine and fruit from Mr. Hei's back. The mud seals of the two wine jars were soaked away by the heavy rain last night, but there were still a few layers of lotus leaves inside. There was no water in the wine jars and the smell of alcohol was gone.

It has not dissipated. But the fruits are not good. The bumpy journey has crushed most of the grapes they brought, and the rest have fallen off the branches.

After moving the things into the tent, Zhang Mo washed the good grapes, gave some to Zhang Shan, and put the rest on the wooden table between himself and the seat.

The three of them ate grapes and chatted casually. Zhang Mobi is eight years older, and Zhang Shan is more than 20 years older than Zhang Mo. In Zhang Shan's eyes, Zhang Mo and he are both children. "The emperor has decreed that you be a prince. As a minister,

We should put gratitude first and loyalty second, and don’t say such rebellious words as before in the future.”

Seeing that he was being criticized, Zhang Mo wanted to smooth things over. He never thought that Zhang Shan would be rude to her. Before he could speak, he glanced at her dissatisfied, "You are so much older than him, so you should be kind to her and guide you at all times. You

How did you do it? You are so emotional that you actually let him choose between you and the imperial court. It is a betrayal of loyalty and treason."

"Brother, she didn't let me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Shan interrupted him and said, "Mencius said that if you are poor, you can be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you can help the world. Yin and Yang bear the responsibility, and the way of heaven is clear. God has favored you so much, and has brought blessings and blessings to you. You should be

It is better for you to be grateful and help the world and bring peace to the people in order to repay God's kindness. It would be better for you to regard your talent and income as your own selfishness. You only have personal feelings for your children in your heart and have no sense of national justice."

Seeing Zhang Shan's stern tone, Zhang Mo was a little annoyed, "Brother, it's a rare time for me to come here. You keep fussing over it. Go away and stop listening to him."

Zhang Mo said

After that, she stood up and left, but she could walk but didn't dare to leave. Just when she was looking around and hesitating, Zhang Shan said again, "You are so eager to leave the errands of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Yushitai. It seems that you are leaving.

Retreat bravely from the rapids and protect yourself wisely, but in fact you are self-righteous and assuming the holy will. Have you ever thought about where your eagerness to resign will put the emperor? How will the civil and military officials of the court and the people in the market evaluate the emperor? Could it be that the emperor is a

When the birds are gone and the bows are hidden, what will happen to the unkind and unjust king?"

No one likes to be criticized, and this is no exception, but I have to say that what Zhang Shan said is indeed reasonable. His eagerness to resign and take the official post does mean that he can withdraw in time and run away to avoid disaster.

Seeing that he was sitting still and not moving, Zhang Mo turned around and dragged him, "Let's go."

"Wait, wait." whispered. .??.

Without leaving, Zhang Mo turned to look at Zhang Shan, "Brother, he is the prince now. Don't treat him like a child anymore. He has done a good enough job. You can't be picky and nitpicking to annoy him."

Now, if I don’t come here in the future, who do you think will go?”

"No, no, brother is right." He answered hurriedly.

Zhang Shan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk anymore. You can take him to change out of his wet clothes first, and then walk around with him."

Hearing Zhang Shan's words, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly stood up and left.

"The army is no better than anywhere else, and you are no better than others," Zhang Shan said. "Stay in camp for one day and go back as soon as possible tomorrow morning."

"Okay, okay." He nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Mo was afraid of getting angry, so when he left the tent, he whispered, "There have been many changes in the army recently, and my brother is not in a good mood. Don't take what he said to you seriously."

"I'm not angry. He said I didn't do it once or twice." He asked casually, "What happened in the army?"

Zhang Mo led him to his residence, and at the same time said, "The new army that has just been formed has not been in actual combat, so we can only practice it during the march. As a result, the march speed will be very slow, and Yang Shouliang can calmly

Preparing for war has created many obstacles for us."

"To shoot the man first, shoot the horse; to capture the thief first capture the king." He said.

Zhang Mo waved his hand and shook his head, "This road is not feasible. Hanzhong is vast and populated, and quite wealthy. When he learned that we were coming to attack him, Yang Shouliang spent a lot of money to recruit many masters of the evil sect. He was surrounded by a cloud of masters and the defense was tight, like today

The spreading of corpse poison was the work of the demons he recruited."

While frowning, Zhang Mo said again, "I don't know if you have noticed that there are many fewer comrades in the army."

"I noticed it." He said, saying that he had seen it from the Chinese army's tent earlier.

There are indeed many fewer people in the door than before.

Zhang Mo nodded and said, "This matter was also done by Yang Shouliang. Many of our soldiers and horses were from the Sanqing dynasty. In order to weaken us, Yang Shouliang used a plan to drain the firepower from under the cauldron and secretly sent people to various palaces to cause chaos.

Most of the people staying in the palace are old, young, sick and disabled, so many of our comrades had no choice but to return to the palace to drive away the enemy and protect themselves."

"To be so despicable," he asked with a frown, "Where is Yang Shouliang now?"

Hearing the words, Zhang Mo immediately guessed the intention and hurriedly waved his hand, "You must not act recklessly. We know that you led people to raid Jianghuai before, but it is different from the raid on Jianghuai. At this time, there are many experts around Yang Shouliang. I want to

A surprise assassination is absolutely impossible."

"A cloud of masters?" he repeated casually.

"Yes," Zhang Mo heard the disdain in his words, "Kiuzhou is vast and the world is vast. It can be said that there are many talents, hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are far more masters than we imagined."

"In previous martial arts competitions, I didn't see many purple energy masters." He said.

Zhang Mo shook his head and said, "On that day, the number of people in the Jianghu who were ordered to go to the capital was only one or two out of ten. In addition, there were a large number of masters who either wandered the streets or lived in seclusion in the mountains. Many of them were highly skilled human beings."

"There are evil spirits under Yang Shouliang?" I was a little surprised.

"Yes, there's more than one." Zhang Mo nodded.

"I have been to many places before, and I didn't find many purple energy masters or evil spirits." He said.

Zhang Mo shook his head and said, "Although you have been to those places, you have never walked through them all. Just like Chang'an, although you live there, you have never visited every street or entered every house."

Hearing this, he nodded slowly, and Zhang Mo said it was indeed true. Whether it was a trip to the northwest or a trip to the southwest, he just walked through a line in a hurry, and never set foot in every city, let alone every land.

Mountains and fields.

While they were talking, the two came to Zhang Mo's tent. After entering the tent, he took out the square wooden box from his arms and said, "I came here mainly to send you something."

"What?" Zhang Mo asked casually.

"Tiancanyi," he raised his hand to deliver, "it is said that this thing is invulnerable to water, fire, and invulnerable to swords and guns. You may be able to use it when you go to war with the army."

"I don't want it," Zhang Mo waved his hand and said, "If you keep it for your own use, your situation will be more dangerous than mine."

"There are two pieces of this thing. I'll give you this one, and I have another one." Send it again.

"There are really two?" Zhang Mo tilted his head.
