Chapter 152: A Small Record of Verbal Confrontation Talismans
Chapter 152 Verbal Confrontation Fu Zhuan Xiaolu
Seeing Chang Xiao come in, Chen Zhuo and Mr. Wu stood up quickly. Chang Xiao was wearing official uniforms, and they were a head shorter at first, so they quickly saluted.
Chang Xiao didn't wait until he passed by the two of them and sat safely on the chair in the hall. Then he smiled warmly and said: "Please get up quickly. We are old acquaintances. No need to be formal. Sit down quickly."
, sit down quickly."
Chang Xiao's nouveau riche behavior and shameless hypocrisy made Chen Zhuo feel itchy at the root of his teeth, but he couldn't say anything because the other person's status at this time could withstand his worship.
Master Wu was still very well-educated. He stood up and said with a smile: "I was walking with Master Chang that day, but I didn't expect that Master Chang was actually a third-rank member of Jinyiwei. It's really disrespectful."
Chang Xiao conveniently grabbed the tea cup on the table, used the cup lid to skim the floating tea, and said with a smile: "Master Wu, there is no need to say these lies in front of a real person. Chang himself didn't even know that he could get into this official position.
Let’s be honest, are you two here to reminisce or discuss business?”
Mr. Wu's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this. Even he was not used to Chang Xiao's aggressive straightforwardness. Many official words were now bottled up in his stomach and could not be spoken. Sometimes the conversation was like
It’s like fighting, the initiative is particularly important. If you have the initiative, you can lead the topic during the conversation and make the topic go in the direction you want. It may seem like a small thing, but it is definitely a big skill! Especially for both parties
When both sides are attacking each other, taking the initiative means having the upper hand and being able to strike first!
At this time, Chang Xiao suddenly took the initiative in the conversation.
Mr. Wu chuckled and said: "Part of it is to reminisce about old times, and the other part is to curry favor with you, a third-grade official. And the other part is to ask for your convenience."
Chang Xiao frowned slightly when he heard this. He felt that he could not see through Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu was a very impeccable person on the road, but now it seems that the city is deeper. He is smiling and friendly, but he always gives people the feeling of a hidden needle.
Chang Xiao slowly put the tea cup aside, looked at Chen Zhuo and said, "Brother Chen, what convenience do you need?"
Master Wu is a very impeccable guy. Chang Xiao couldn't tell what Mr. Wu's purpose was behind talking to him, so he turned to talk to Chen Zhuo. Although this behavior was not very polite, Chang Xiao didn't care about the issue of impoliteness.
!
In Chang Xiao's impression, Chen Zhuo is still a young man, and the city is not deep. If he is asked to open his mouth and talk more, he will definitely be able to discover something.
From Chang Xiao's point of view, it is definitely not a good thing for Tianzhuo's people to come to visit. After all, Tianzhuo's reputation is not much different from that of Jinyiwei. To say that they came to visit to reminisce about old times is really ridiculous. I'm afraid they themselves don't believe it.
, Chang Xiao doesn’t have much history to talk about with them!
If they said they were here to curry favor with Chang Xiao, Chang Xiao would not believe it at all. Now if anyone in the entire court wanted to curry favor with Chang Xiao, it would be a big joke and would be regarded as a lunatic.
As for asking for something from him, Chang Xiao thought that this might be reliable. So Chang Xiao didn't ask anything else and directly asked Chen Zhuo what he wanted.
Chen Zhuo was stunned. He didn't expect Chang Xiao to suddenly talk to him. Chen Zhuo felt at this moment that although Chang Xiao was asking questions indifferently, Chang Xiao seemed to be casual.
The eyes of both eyes were focused on his face, and every expression on his face fell into Chang Xiao's eyes. This feeling was as if he was facing a cunning officialdom fox in his forties or fifties, instead of
A young man under twenty years old. This feeling gave him a sense of astonishment.
Chen Zhuo felt a little uncomfortable. He moved his shoulders slightly and glanced at Lord Wu before saying: "That's it. Lord Chang can probably predict our identities, so there is no need for us to hide this matter! Wu and I
Sir, we are all the most ambitious people in the Shenji Camp. I need Sir Chang’s help in such a matter.”
"Recently, Jinyiwei arrested a person, a businessman who resold porcelain and tea between our Ming Dynasty and Western Folangji. It wasn't a big deal at first, but we have been keeping an eye on this person for a long time. He and those who claim to be the Holy Cult
There is some connection with the cult foreigners. We wanted to take this person to heaven and interrogate him carefully to see if he had any evil intentions. However, Wang Tongzhi, the royal guard, refused to let him go, so Mr. Wu and I found you.
Here, see if you can go your own way and get people out."
Chang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. At this time, he was also very concerned about the things in the court. Although he seemed to be doing nothing all day, hiding in the study, he must talk to Chang Sheng for an hour every day.
Sheng is an old fox in the capital. He can't hide any troubles from him. Although Chang Sheng is not popular with officials now because of Chang Xiao, he still has his own way to find out what is going on in the court.
Yes! When I get the news, I will send it to Chang Xiao every day!
Therefore, Chang Xiao is no longer as blind to the court as before.
Which foreigners were involved? No wonder Wang Tong knew and refused to let them go.
You must know that because of the heavy snow incident in Shaanxi, those foreigners are now popular people around the emperor. The emperor even personally selected the site to build a church for the so-called holy religion of the foreigners.
And this Tianzhu is the royal eagle dog in the immortal world. Now his status is being squeezed by those foreign monks, and he is starting to become a little unstable. If things go on like this, he will become more and more marginalized!
In Chang Xiao's view, Tianzhuo would naturally do something to attack these foreign monks at this time. Obviously, this businessman who traveled between the Ming Dynasty and Folangji might be Tianzhuo's breakthrough point.
It's just that this businessman has been arrested by the Jin Yiwei. Wang Tongzhi is the eyes and ears of the emperor. Every move can be said to represent Chongzhen's meaning. If he doesn't let him go, that means Chongzhen won't let him go. He knows that the emperor won't let him go. This kind of thing
It would be ridiculous for him to ask Chang Xiao to solve the problem. It was really a bit ridiculous to seek medical treatment for something sick.
Chang Xiao had these thoughts in his mind just for a moment. Chang Xiao kept staring at Chen Zhuo and looking at the expression on Chen Zhuo's face.
Finally Chang Xiao discovered something strange.
Generally, when asking for help, there will always be some emotion in the eyes of the person asking for help. Either he hopes that the request will be fulfilled, or he is afraid that the other party will reject him, but there is no expression in Chen Zhuo's eyes.
If this feeling can be explained by what Chang Xiao said in his previous life, it means that there is no drama in the eyes.
I am used to watching TV series. Some actors are saying the same lines and changing their movements and expressions, but those eyes are as empty as two holes. Undoubtedly, Chen Zhuo's eyes are like this at this time. Chen Zhuo's acting skills are really not good.
Home!
This shows that Chen Zhuo does not expect Chang Xiao to help at all, and it also shows that Chen Zhuo is memorizing his lines.
Chang Xiao frowned slightly, and then began to think about it. He was not thinking about whether to help or not. He couldn't help at all, and there was no need to help. The emperor was unwilling to let him go. Why should he let a jester who was trying to gain power?
Chang Xiao is still very clear and understanding about where he is.
Since Chen Zhuo and Mr. Wu don't want to ask for anything from themselves and don't think they can help them, then why do they come to me?
This thought circulated in Chang Xiao's mind, and then a sudden flash occurred in Chang Xiao's mind. When he went to kill the living Buddha, he must have left a flaw no matter what. Just the name he left behind when he left the city.
It is the most important loophole. Is this why they are here?
Chang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. If this was the case, it would be really bad!
Chang Xiao laughed dryly and said: "Wang Tong knows that there is nothing we can do if we don't let him go. You should go to Mr. Wang for your request. You two went to the wrong temple."
Master Wu took the words at this time and said with a smile: "Master Chang is a popular person around the emperor. If Master Chang can say a word, he might be able to help us Tianzhui. You must know that all those foreign monks have ulterior motives.
With evil intentions, if the emperor gets too close to them, it will be a great harm to our Ming Dynasty."
Chang Xiao looked into Mr. Wu's eyes and thought: "This Mr. Wu is a first-class actor. When he speaks, both his eyes and expressions are completely impeccable. If Chen Zhuo hadn't spoken first, I would have really
I have no idea what you are here to do."
However, Chang Xiao also suddenly remembered that when he was in Wufeng County, he met the foreigner hiding in the tomb. The white-skinned foreigner behaved strangely.
In fact, Wufeng County can only be regarded as a small place. Ordinary foreigners will never go there. If you want to say that the foreigners who inexplicably went to the remote Wufeng County and hid in the tombs did not have ulterior motives, they would always laugh at themselves.
Absolutely don't believe it.
For foreigners, Chang Xiao had no favorable impression. The gentlemanly demeanor of later generations of foreigners were all exaggerated and idealized. Chang Xiao did not deny that in his previous life, most of those foreigners were considered
Relatively civilized, but to put it nicely, it is the result of civilizational progress, but to put it bluntly, it is actually the result of plundering other countries and becoming rich yourself!
In Chang Xiao's opinion, foreigners in this era are in the period of plunder. They are all barbarians, dirty and rude, and have no direct connection with gentlemen and civilization.
Moreover, foreigners have never done anything good to China from the beginning to the end, not to mention things like the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. Especially a soldier like Chang Xiao is well aware of the details of some internal conflicts.
Of course, what the foreigners did was right from a foreign perspective, and they were all defending the interests of their motherland, but from Chang Xiao's perspective, it was really abominable.
After Chang Xiao frowned and pondered for a while, he shook his head with a smile and said: "To be honest, I have only met the Emperor two or three times. Now the Emperor has contracted a disease and cannot even go to court. Several cabinet ministers cannot see the Emperor."
, I won’t even have the chance to see the emperor. I’m afraid I won’t be able to speak if I do!”
Master Wu was not surprised by Chang Xiao's rejection, but he still showed a very helpless expression, sighed, and then changed the subject: "Sir, I heard that you are very interested in the world of cultivating immortals, but we are not here this time.
If I want to bring you a decent gift, let me give this "Small Records of Talisman and Seal Script" to you. It is a small greeting gift, but please don't tear it up and beat us two out."
Chang Xiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but his eyes were fixed on the thick book that Chen Zhuo took out from his arms.
Chen Zhuo stepped forward and handed the book to Chang Xiao with both hands.
Chang Xiao glanced at Chen Zhuo and made sure that Chen Zhuo had no other ideas and that there wouldn't be any fog or the like suddenly appearing in the book, so he took the book.
This book is very new, as if it was written just now. On the cover of the book are written the four characters "Fu Lu Xiao Lu". Apart from the fact that these four characters are very beautiful, the binding is very ordinary, simple and nothing surprising.
Chang Xiao is indeed unlikely to reject this kind of book. If Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is put together with this kind of book that records immortal magic, Chang Xiao will choose the latter without hesitation.
