Zhang Mo was invited here by Chen Liqiu. After arriving, she found that Chen Liqiu was not alarmist, and his mood was indeed extremely low. Even if she tried hard to hide it, she could still feel that he was forcing a smile on his face and cheering up.

Her mood has always been very stable, and she has never experienced such a big fluctuation. Before she can give any advice, she must find the real reason for her depression, and she is inconvenient to ask directly, so she can only make insinuations. Fortunately, these words finally allowed her to find the reason.

The root cause of the disease.

Originally an orphan, he has become accustomed to being alone after many years of solitude. The appearance of Lin Daozhang, Batulu and others gave him family affection and warmth, but at the same time, it also burdened him with responsibilities and responsibilities that were not his own.

Mission, from the moment he met Lin Daozhang and others, he never lived for himself. Everything he did after that was to repay the kindness that Lin Daozhang and others had shown him.

In order to repay Taoist Master Lin's kindness, he traveled all the way to Gezao Mountain to deliver medicine. Later, in order to repay his father's status as a Qingtian Master, he made an exception and restored Taoist priest Lin's Taoist membership, so he joined Longhu Mountain. In order to repay the kindness of Longhu Mountain,

Because of his kindness, he would represent the Shangqing sect in the martial arts examination for children, and even later become an official.

In the process, he got acquainted with Batulu, Datou and others. Their presence gave him companionship and warmth, but at the same time, it also gave him endless worries and concerns. In fact, he hoped that everyone would always be around, not because he needed them, but because he needed them.

Everyone who is kind to him hopes that the other party will have a good outcome.

But the things that everyone does are often dangerous, and their lives are at risk at any time. They are nervous and worried about everyone all the time, and they can't guarantee everyone's safety. This is the main reason for their low mood.

In addition, there are secondary reasons. What you are doing now and what you did before are not what you want to do. Doing things you don’t want to do cannot guarantee the safety of people who are kind to you.

This makes him feel that the sacrifices he has made are meaningless, and he is not a person who gives up halfway. Therefore, although he feels that what he has done is meaningless, he is still trying to support himself and persevering.

Although Zhang Mo found out the reason for his depression, he was not in a hurry to give advice.

Because people are different, extremely smart people like this are the hardest to persuade. Any evasion and self-deception will be keenly detected by them. If you want to persuade such people, you must respect the facts and be comprehensive and fair.

As he lowered his head to drink the soup, Zhang Mo recalled eagerly in his mind and sorted it out one by one. He found out that his loyalty to the emperor was not entirely due to the emperor's kindness to him, but also a large part of the reason was that the emperor granted marriage to the two of them and made an exception for the pardon.

Regarding the crimes of Chen Liqiu and Li Zhongyong, you must know that Chen Liqiu and Li Zhongyong committed heinous crimes. The emperor pardoned them, which made me feel that I owed the emperor a huge favor.

The emperor's promotions and titles to Datou and others were all based on face. Naturally, he knew this, so he took the favor to himself.

In addition, Ni Zhuo and others were let go at that time, but the emperor did not refute his face and allowed Ni Zhuo's family to escape unscathed. This was also a great favor, and he remembered it on his own head.

A drop of grace is repaid by a spring. This is the way of doing things. In order to repay the emperor's kindness, he can only turn the tide and shoulder this heavy burden. But until now, he found that no matter whether it is Li Zhongyong and others or Datou

Others, including himself, everyone in Longhu Mountain, and even the Ni family far away in the Western Regions, did not stay out of the situation because of his sacrifice, and were still facing danger, which made them helpless and frustrated.

By this time, the situation was clear. He had no concern for the country and the people, and no ambition to leave a name in history. Everything he did was just to repay the favor. The only way to open up his heart was to

One way is to let him understand that the sacrifices he has made and the pressure he has endured are meaningful.

After thinking anxiously, Zhang Mo decided to go straight to the point. For a person like this, deliberate encirclement and guidance can easily backfire, making him feel that his mind has been slighted, and he must tell the truth to him.

"I used to work against the will of heaven with my eldest brother and the others.

Fa, are you angry with me if you lose your Yangshou?" Zhang Mo asked in a harmonious voice.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mo would suddenly ask this question, so he put down his spoon and looked up at her.

"I am yours, and I should consult with you before doing these things, but I didn't. This is my fault." Zhang Mo said.

"I have no right to be angry with you," he shook his head and said, "I almost died in Silla and made you sad and sad. My fault is even greater."

"I promise you, no matter how difficult the war is in the future, I will never make any other mistakes." Zhang Mo said seriously.

He nodded, "I will try my best to think more carefully about things in the future, and no longer risk my life easily." .??.

"By the way, there's something I have to remind you." Zhang Mo said.

"What?" he asked casually.

"The palace you are living in now was the residence of Prince Hong. Back then, you and Chen Liqiu broke into the palace and killed Prince Hong," Zhang Mo said. "Will Chen Liqiu be moved by the scene and feel unhappy if he lives there?"

Hearing Zhang Mo's words, he suddenly realized, "I would have forgotten it even if you didn't tell me. It is necessary for you to remind me. I still have several houses in Chang'an. When I choose one to give to them, they will have one when they come to Chang'an in the future."

A place to stay.”

"Did Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu encounter danger a few days ago?" Zhang Mo asked casually.

"Yes," nodded, "in order to raise money for the imperial court, they were trapped by a mechanism in an ancient tomb. Fortunately, I arrived in time and they were safe. If I had arrived a few days later,

,The consequences could be disastrous."

"You don't need to worry too much," Zhang Mo said, "Li and Chen were originally prisoners of the imperial court, but now not only have they been pardoned, but they have also been made generals. They should make up for their mistakes and share the worries of the imperial court."

He glanced at Zhang Mo but didn't answer.

Zhang Mo added, "Without you, Shuzhou would have been captured by the imperial court long ago, and they would have lost their lives. As a junior brother, you are impeccable. You have done everything you can do for them."

"You were with them this morning

What was said at the door?" He asked with a frown.

Zhang Mo did not answer the question, but said, "There are also Datou and Yang Kai. As a superior, you are extremely kind to them. Without you, they would not be able to be a general, let alone a general."

"What exactly do you want to say?" he asked doubtfully.

Zhang Mo said seriously, "What I want to say is that you are worthy of all of us. Don't worry about us all the time in the future. You are not a god. You cannot predict things in advance, control everything, and you cannot protect everyone."

Without waiting for an answer, Zhang Mo said again, "That day, I only thought you were dead in Silla, so I wouldn't be sad, but I felt very calm in my heart, because it was God's blessing to get to know you. After several lifetimes, if I could ask for more,

If it lasts forever, wouldn’t it be too greedy?”

"I'm not as good as you said." I felt a little embarrassed.

Zhang Mo said again, "It's the same between you and me, and it's the same between you and Datou, Batulu and others. You are also a Taoist priest. You should know that fate is determined by fate. You can gain it calmly and lose it calmly. There is no need to be nervous and worried, let alone panic.

disturbed."

"I'm not panicked either." He denied casually.

"You do," Zhang Mo said seriously, "you are always worried that we people will not be able to accompany you to the end."

"What happened to you today?" he asked in confusion.

Zhang Mo did not answer the question, but said, "I shouldn't have gone with my eldest brother last time. You were still injured, so I should have been by your side."

I didn’t understand why Zhang Mo was acting out of character today, “What happened to you? Did something happen?”

"It's okay, I just felt it," Zhang Mo said, "Eat it quickly, it will get cold if you don't."

"I'm full." He said.

"Are you really full?" Zhang Mo asked with a smile.

"I'm really full." He nodded.

"Are you really full?" Zhang Mo was still laughing.
