Seeing that everyone on his side was in a low mood, he smiled calmly, then picked up a piece of watermelon and brought it to his mouth, "You only have five people, and there are thousands of Japanese pirates. It is impossible for you to cover everything without leaking anything. Besides, losing several earthly branches is very important to the Tang Dynasty."

It won’t have much impact on the national destiny, so you don’t need to care too much.”

"Your Majesty, please stop comforting us." Datou sighed again.

"I'm not comforting you. I'm telling the truth. Do you know what I'm most worried about? What I'm most worried about is that something will happen to you during my absence." After saying this, he picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to the person opposite.

Huang Silang, "Especially Brother Huang, although he is a stranger, he has clear grudges and values ​​​​love and justice. I know that you will not leave after I disappear. I am very worried that something will happen to you during this period, because you are an outsider."

, shouldn’t have to endure this.”

Hearing the words, Huang Silang felt warm in his heart. He stood up in fear and took the watermelon handed to him. "Your Majesty, you are serious. If you didn't help me, I would still be living in Andong, suffering from cold looks and being treated like this by you all."

It's a great kindness, so I should do something."

Said, "Brother Huang, you must also know that I am not only a prince with a different surname in the court, but also a Taoist priest of the Shangqing Sect. Our Shangqing Sect never looks at strangers differently. I thank you for walking with them during my absence. Now I

Come back safely, and I won’t bother you with the next thing. It’s not that we don’t need you, but you are different from us. We are all officials who receive royal salaries. We are loyal to our country. It is our fate to die on the battlefield. Can you

Why should you risk your life to work for the imperial court if you don't receive any salary from the imperial court?"

Previously, Huang Silang didn't know what prompted Datou and others to continue his will to find and protect the Earthly Branches after they were killed in battle. After hearing these words, it finally understood that it was as careful as hair, aware of every detail, and would not bury anyone's efforts and efforts.

contribute.

Without waiting for Huang Silang to answer, he said again, "There is a banquet restaurant in Chang'an, which is the best restaurant in the Tang Dynasty. I will hold a banquet at the banquet restaurant tonight to thank you for your generous help and to see you off."

Huang Silang had already thought about leaving, but after hearing these words, he began to hesitate. During this period, he ate and lived with Datou and others, and they had become familiar with each other. Now that the separation was imminent, he felt very reluctant to leave.

After eating a few mouthfuls of watermelon, he continued, "As for your thank you gift, I have already thought about it. You are a heterogeneous person with a free nature and no restraint. You definitely don't need an official position. And you are a purple-qi cultivator. If you want

It’s easy to get money. Since you like what’s in the cup, I’ll send you a restaurant from Anton.

You, Yanbin Restaurant is famous all over the world for its wine and food. I will ask them to provide a few brewing masters and cooking chefs, and then select a few people from my house to work for you. From now on, you will be the owner of this restaurant, and you will be rich in gold and silver.

Spend whatever you want and enjoy the delicious food.”

After saying this, Huang Silang was very moved and waved his hands repeatedly, "I can't do it, I can't do it. In fact, I didn't do anything. The prince treated me so favorably, and I feel guilty."

Seeing that Huang Silang was so frightened, Datou said with a smile, "Haha, Old Huang, the prince gave you a reward, but it's so disrespectful."

Hearing Datou's words, Huang Silang did not dare to refuse further, so he could only say thank you in fear.

He smiled at him and nodded, and then made some calculations in his mind, "Wei Yang will be the weakest in five days. The Japanese pirates will not attack before then. Let's rest for a few days first, and then go to Gupo Mountain."

, we have to come back as soon as possible and lead the troops to attack Qingyang."

"Attack Qingyang?" Datou Duo was confused.

He said, "You have been staying away from Middle-earth during this period and do not know what is happening in Middle-earth. Some time ago, Li Maozhen and Ji Wang Li Bao teamed up to force the palace. On the way to the east, Li Maozhen captured Qingyang. Now there is a famine in Middle-earth.

There is a shortage of food, so I can only allocate food from the Western Regions, and Qingyang is the only way from the Western Regions to Chang'an. We must capture Qingyang before the grain and grass from the Western Regions arrives."

Seeing everyone frowning, he said, "Don't be sad. Life is about dealing with troubles. Not long ago, Master Zhang captured Luoyang and got 20 million taels of silver. Long Haotian also sent people to send more than 60 million taels of silver."

Liang, with these more than 80 million taels of silver, and with the supply of rice and grain from the Western Regions, the life of the court and the people will be easier, and when we find the remaining earthly branches one by one, we can also take a breath."

People are most afraid of not seeing hope. As long as there is hope, there is hope. After hearing this, everyone in our country was in a good mood. They sat around the stone table, eating melons and chatting.

Datou and others were tired from traveling all the way. After eating the watermelon, Datou ordered them to go back to their room to rest. Datou knew that the Zhang Shan brothers and sisters were also back, so he asked Shi Xuanming to carry the bucket to deliver watermelon to Zhang Mo.

He went to the front yard and ordered his servant to go to the Yanbin Building to find a room. With his status, he could have booked the largest Tai Chi Room on the eighth floor, but after pondering, he settled on the Tianzi Room on the sixth floor.

So there were two reasons for booking this room. One was that he was currently in a very popular position and was suspected of being the master of the palace, so it was easy for others to criticize him for booking a room at the top. The other was that Ni Chenyi had requested the Tianzi room on the sixth floor that day.

He wanted to see the scenery in the room where they ate.

Just as he was about to return to his room, he suddenly remembered something, and then sent his servants to the household department to invite Wu Yusheng and Song Cai to the banquet. He invited Wu Yusheng to show his respect for Huang Silang, and he let Huang Silang go as soon as he came back. Huang Silang could easily misunderstand

Since he was ashamed to be associated with him, he had to find an important court official to accompany him and let Huang Silang know that he didn't mind letting others know that he was his friend.

The reason why Song Cai was invited was because Song Cai had been staying at the Ministry of Household Affairs recently to discuss the details of grain adjustment with Wu Yusheng, worrying about the labor and hard work. In addition, Song Cai was very good at business and knew what preparations were needed to open a restaurant.

After sending the servants away, he turned around and went back to his room. He stopped after walking a few steps because he suddenly remembered that he was hosting a banquet at Tianzihao on the sixth floor. Song Cai would definitely mention this to Ni Chenyi after he returned, and Ni Chenyi was at Tianzihao that year.

He and the big head Yang Kai were invited to the banquet. When Ni Chenyi learned about this, would he misunderstand that he had unresolved feelings for others?

After thinking about it, he did not send anyone to chase Gu Ding. As the saying goes, if you are upright, you are not afraid of a distorted shadow. As long as you have a clear conscience, you are not afraid of misunderstandings. But then again, the reason why I chose the Tianzi house is actually to see things and think about people.

, he didn’t have the idea of ​​eating the food from the bowl and looking into the pot, but he did miss Ni Chenyi very much. After all, Ni Chenyi was passionate about him and had never done anything to hurt him. He could not accept it, but he could not be indifferent and unreasonable.

Ignore.

Since his ill-intentioned attempt failed in the early morning, he decided to go back and continue to look for opportunities. However, as soon as he entered the hospital, he found Zhang Mo eating watermelon with Zhang Shan in the room. It turned out that Zhang Shan had already committed suicide during the time when he met Wu Yusheng, Datou and others.

I'm back.

He has always been in awe of his uncle, because when he was at Longhu Mountain, Zhang Mo barely paid attention to the academic affairs, but Zhang Shan was the abbot of Longhu Mountain, enforced the law strictly and was strict in speech. He regarded Zhang Mo as a teacher in his heart.

It was already very uncomfortable for the uncle to transform into his wife, but it was even more difficult to transform Zhang Shan, his uncle, into his uncle. When he saw Zhang Shan, he would still think of the word "junior uncle" for the first time.

Since I was originally in awe of Zhang Shan, and I had evil thoughts when I entered the house, and I had thought of Ni Chenyi not long ago, when I suddenly saw Zhang Shan, I felt guilty and my expression was not very natural.

It happened that at this time Zhang Shanwen

Turning his head in a loud voice, Zhang Shan could see all the embarrassment and fear on his face.

Zhang Shan's eyes were stern as he looked up and down. Seeing this, he hurried forward and bowed his head, "Brother."

Zhang Shan's expression was very serious and he did not reply. He just looked at him coldly, with obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Even though he was embarrassed, he also knew why Zhang Shan looked at him like this. It was because he was young and impulsive, acted recklessly, and almost caused his sister to become a widow.

Realizing how embarrassed he was, Zhang Mo pulled him to sit down and asked him to eat watermelon together.

Since Zhang Shan had been silent, he was not free to do so. Just when he was about to say something to lighten the atmosphere, Zhang Shan said in a deep voice, "You should know how heavy the burden is on your shoulders. How can you take the wrong direction and risk your troops?"

?”

Without waiting for the answer, Zhang Mo took over the conversation first, "Brother, don't talk about him. He is also forced by the situation and has no choice."

Every word touched Zhang Shan's heart, because he had no choice but to flood Luoyang. If he had more soldiers, he would not be besieged by the Japanese pirates. Thinking of this, his eyes and tone softened, "You too

It’s no big deal, you should consider the consequences when doing things.”

"Yes, yes, that's what big brother taught me." He nodded hurriedly in response.

Zhang Mo handed over a piece of watermelon. Even though he had eaten a lot before, he still reached out to take it. He lowered his head to eat the melon while peeking at Zhang Shan's expression from the corner of his eye.

Zhang Shan ate the watermelon and took the towel handed over by Zhang Mo to wipe his hands, "It's good to be back. I came back this time to report on my duties. Luoyang has decided that the army cannot be left without anyone in charge. I will rush back soon."

"

Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Brother, it's hard for you to come back. You might as well stay for a few more days so that I can listen to your teachings more."

"Actually, you have done a good job. You just need to be more prudent in the future," Zhang Shan said. "Our relationship is too close. In order to avoid the emperor being too worried, it is not convenient for me to stay in the palace for too long. I will first

Go back, you are weak, Zhang Mo will stay to take care of you for a few days."

Hearing Zhang Shan's words, he was overjoyed. He was in awe of Zhang Shan and was under great pressure to be with Zhang Shan.
