At first, he just said it casually and didn't think much about it, but when he looked back and saw Zhang Mo looking at him with an angry look, he realized that his words seemed to be ambiguous. However, he had already said it, so instead of explaining it embarrassingly, it would be better to just admit he was wrong.

Thinking of this, he grinned at Zhang Mo.

"Be honest with me, or you will die." Zhang Mo glanced at it, "I haven't touched the letter. Please take a look at what is written inside."

He sat by the bed, picked up the letter, spread it out and read it.

"What's written in it? Where are they now?" Zhang Mo asked casually.

He didn't answer, but raised his hand and patted the place next to him.

Zhang Mo naturally would not be fooled by him, so he still sat at the table and stopped asking.

Seeing that Zhang Mo couldn't come, he could only read the narrative, "They are currently on Lingnan Road. Although Yu Yi's Zhengyan Dazang can be transmitted to people through the air, Lingnan is too far away from Chang'an, so she can only transmit herself back. I learned that I am still alive.

, she was very happy. They had not been idle for a moment during the three months since I was missing. They had been running around looking for the remaining earthly branches according to the dragon vein map. However, things did not go very smoothly. They will know the specific situation when they come back.

Report to me in detail."

After listening to the narration, Zhang Mo frowned slightly, "Sun Ru has always been in collusion with the Japanese pirates, and Sun Ru naturally understands the truth. Now he has joined forces with Zhu Quanzhong to fight against the imperial court, and Zhu Quanzhong has recruited many evil people who are looking for the Earthly Branches.

In the process, it is likely that we encountered obstacles from Japanese pirates and demons.”

"It is possible," he nodded seriously, "Although all the eight major families who came to China in the later period were defeated, the main force of Japanese pirates sent to China in the early days is still there. According to my estimate, the number will not be less than 5,000, and

There are many purple energy masters among them, and even if they don't join forces with Zhu Quanzhong's demons, it will be extremely difficult for Datou and others to deal with them."

"When they went to find me that day, there was a stranger walking with them. Do you know about this?" Zhang Mo asked.

He put down the letter and lay down, "I know that Huang Silang is actually a weasel. We have helped him since Andong City, and he wanted to repay his kindness, so he has been following us. This Huang Silang is cultivated in Dongyuan, and I am not here.

It has done a lot of work during this period."

The Shangqing Sect has always been tolerant of heterogeneous people, and there are many heterogeneous disciples in the sect. Therefore, Zhang Mo has no prejudice against heterogeneous people. After listening to the story, he ignored the matter and said, "You are so tired from traveling all the way. Take a rest."

.”

"What are you doing?" he asked casually.

"I won't do anything, I'll just stay here with you." Zhang Mo said.

"You are two feet away from me. How can this be called accompanying me?" he muttered.

"Then what do you want?" Zhang Mo was helpless.

"Come over and sleep with me," he said. "I don't want to do anything else. I feel at ease when you are by my side."

Although Zhang Mo didn't believe that he could keep what he said, he couldn't refuse. After hesitating, he got up from his seat and walked closer slowly.

He was originally lying down with his clothes on. After Zhang Mo arrived, he turned over, sat up, and took off his coat.

Zhang Mo's Taoist robe was originally on his body, so he took off his outer garments and shared the same bed with him.

Originally, I wanted to keep my word, but when things came to pass, I found that my self-control was not as strong as I thought. I wanted to take advantage of the situation and climb a tree.

He can do whatever he wants, but Zhang Mo doesn't allow him to do whatever he wants, because his vitality has not been restored, his qi and blood are deficient, and he is in urgent need of replenishment. How can he allow any loss?

Zhang Mo's grasping hand did not allow him to do anything wrong, and he tried several times to break free, but failed, so he restrained himself and hunkered down, hiding his strength and biding his time, waiting for Zhang Mo to catch him by surprise when he relaxed.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mo never relaxed, kept a low profile and put himself to sleep. In fact, he was just acting on a whim. His energy and blood were seriously lacking, and his body was extremely weak.

It was late afternoon when I woke up, and Zhang Mo was still lying next to him.

When she found her eyes open, Zhang Mo immediately turned over and sat up. It wasn't that there was something urgent to do, but that she knew very well that she would try again after waking up.

Zhang Mo suddenly left, feeling very disappointed. He frowned, clicked his tongue, and sighed in displeasure.

"Get up quickly, I heard the cry of the golden eagle earlier," Zhang Mo said, "It should be Datou and the others who are back."

Hearing Zhang Mo's words, he hurriedly stretched his arms and sat up, "Even if he comes back, Datou will come back first. They are far away in Lingnan, and a bloody horse cannot run so fast."

Zhang Mo didn't answer the question and found a set of clean daily clothes from the suitcase in front of the bed, "Quickly change your clothes and get up and freshen up."

"I have to change the inside too," he stretched, "It's really hot in the south, and I almost stink."

Zhang Mo nodded and found a change of underwear for him, then placed it on the bedside with his back to avoid suspicion.

If Zhang Mo stared intently, he would definitely feel awkward, but seeing her back turned to him, he felt a little disappointed. He reached out and touched her suddenly as if in a panic.

Zhang Mo couldn't laugh or cry, "Stop making trouble, there must be someone waiting for you outside, get up quickly."

He was very proud of the successful sneak attack. He quickly changed his clothes and put on his shoes and went to the ground. At this time, Zhang Mo had already filled him with water. He quickly washed his face and combed his hair, "Is the elder brother also outside?"

"I don't know," Zhang Mo shook his head, "You and I are in the room, so of course they won't come and disturb us." .??.??

Thinking that everyone was waiting anxiously outside, but I was in the room with Zhang Mo, I felt very embarrassed. I hurriedly put hairpins in my hair, straightened my clothes, and then opened the door and went out, "I'll go out first, you can take your time to pack up."

"

Opening the courtyard door, he looked around and saw no one outside. He walked through the corridor to the main hall. The butler who had been waiting here hurriedly greeted him, "Your Majesty, General Yang and the others are back and waiting for you in the west courtyard."

"Are they all back?" he asked casually.

The butler nodded, "I have just returned, and there is a man in yellow accompanying the four generals."

"Oh," he asked after nodding, "Where is Master Zhang, has he come back?"

>

"No," the butler shook his head, "Someone came to the palace at noon. They just said that the emperor wanted to entertain the grand master."

Hearing the butler's words, he felt at ease. He was most afraid of his uncle, who was as careful as hair and as sharp as a torch. If Zhang Shan had come back early, he might have guessed what he was doing with Zhang Mo in the room, even though he

I was exhausted and didn’t do anything, but under the melons and plums, I couldn’t explain it at all.

The steward added, "Wu Shangshu from the Ministry of Revenue knew that you were back, so he came here to see you. He has been waiting in the main hall for a long time."

He originally wanted to go to the west courtyard, but after hearing the steward's words, he turned around and headed north. In private, he wanted to see Datou and others first, but in public, he should see Wu Yusheng first.

It was hot in summer, so the door was always open. When I went to the main hall in the middle courtyard, Wu Yusheng in the room saw him coming, so he got up from his seat and hurried out to greet you, "See you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Wu Yusheng's relaxed and happy expression, he said casually, "Although the 20 million taels seized in Luoyang cannot solve the urgent need, it can also be a slight buffer. You can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Your Majesty, the good news doesn't stop there," Wu Yusheng took out a memorial from his sleeve, "Look."

He took it casually, opened it and read it, and saw that this memorial was written by Long Haotian to the emperor. First he flattered the emperor, and then he thanked the emperor for fulfilling his promise to make him king. The last thing he said was the more serious matter.

Knowing that the national treasury was empty and the finances were tight, 'the ministers and other officials in Xichuan broke down their belongings, and together with Xichuan's century-old tax payment in advance, they got a total of 66 million taels of silver, which has been loaded and shipped, and will arrive in the capital in the near future.'

"Haha, what do you think of this?" He returned the memorial to Wu Yusheng.

Wu Yusheng said, "This person has many spies in the capital. After hearing about your safe return and Zhang Zhenren's victory in Luoyang, he was worried that we might conquer Xichuan, so he paid tribute to show his loyalty and seek peace."

"Yes, I think so too," he nodded and said, "I have dealt with him not once or twice. Although this bitch is full of bad intentions, he has a lot of brains. He knows that we are in urgent need of money right now, so he did this.
