Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"It's just that brother has an imperial mandate today and really doesn't know when he will be free. That's why he dare not reply to Brother Chu. Please forgive me."

"How about this? After today, my mission is over. Then I will be the host and personally send a message to entertain Brother Chu. What do you think?"

Zhou Xiahai smiled and looked cautious, which immediately made Chu Mo suspicious.

After thinking about it, he directly took Zhou Xiaohai's hand and came to a corner.

"Xiaohai, tell me the truth, did Li Shimin do anything? Who is he going to attack?"

Zhou Xiaohai didn't expect that Chu Mo would reveal the purpose of his trip as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was so frightened that he almost lost control of his expression.

But his panicked look really caught Chu Mo's eyes.

Although Zhou Xiaohai didn't say a word, his expression said everything.

He patted Zhou Xiaohai on the shoulder, then took out two banknotes from his arms, stuffed them into his hands and said:

"Thank you, brother. Let's get together some other time when you have free time."

After saying that, he returned to the team and walked directly towards Cui's house with Chu Ruowan and his party.

Looking at the two banknotes in his hand, Zhou Xiaohai had long lost his initial joy. At this time, he wanted to tear them into pieces and then throw them on Chu Mo's face.

You bitch, if you cheat your father with a tael of banknotes, won't your conscience hurt?

But think about it, after getting two taels of silver for nothing, I still have to send the god of plague away, so I might as well forget it.

However, just as he was about to put the banknote in his arms, he suddenly reacted.

No, I didn’t seem to say anything just now, right?Why is that guy looking at me with a completely understanding look?

Also, what the hell is he thanking himself for?

Do you really want to treat him to dinner in two days?With the meal money, just the few taels of silver he gave me, can I get my money back?

Chu Mo, who didn't know how much trouble he had brought to Zhou Xiaohai, was already approaching Cui's house.

Along the way, he carefully recalled every detail after meeting Zhou Xiaohai, and soon discovered that the purpose of the other party's trip should be the palace, not the direction of Daxingshan Temple.

This made him somewhat unpredictable.

Logically speaking, the war at Daxingshan Temple is about to break out. Shouldn't the sergeants in Chang'an City gather there as soon as possible?

Moreover, the imperial palace is already guarded by the Imperial Guard, so there is no need to redeploy troops.

But Zhou Xiaohai and the others did the opposite, which left Chu Mo a little confused.

Just when I was thinking about whether to take down the dozen or so soldiers who were leading the way for questioning, there was a sudden rumble of footsteps on the street in the distance.

Looking up, another large group of people rushed towards this direction.

Without Chu Mo's instructions, Chu Ruowan directed everyone to start avoiding.

Soon, the men and horses in the distance rushed closer.

Just when Chu Mo was about to ask Chu Ruowan to send someone to follow him secretly, an accident happened.

I saw the leading general suddenly reining in the reins, and then looked at Chu Mo and his group with an unkind expression and drank:

"Who are you? You dare to gather here in broad daylight. Is there some conspiracy?"

The captain who was leading the way for Chu Mo heard the general's call and immediately stepped forward to reply:

"My lord, we are escorting these people to the Cui Mansion on the orders of my general. Please make it convenient for your lord."

When he heard that it was Zhou Xiaohai's people, the general immediately softened his expression, but he still couldn't help but look up and down at Chu Mo and his party.

When Chu Mo saw that the other person was staring at him, he rolled his eyes and gave the person a middle finger:

"Hey, grandson, what are you looking at? Do you believe that your grandpa will pull off your eyeballs and stomp them out?"

The sudden shouts and curses made everyone stunned. Then, a touch of anger appeared on everyone's faces. They put their hands on the sabers at their waists and stared at Chu Mo fiercely, waiting for the general to say a word. If he said that, he would pounce on him, drag out this ignorant guy, and hack him to death with a knife.

However, what is surprising is that in the face of Chu Mo's provocation, the general did not show any sign of anger. Instead, he looked at Chu Mo again for a while, then jumped off his horse, and then walked quickly to Chu Mo. In front of him, he asked softly:

"Are you Mr. Chu?"

Chu Mo blinked his eyes:

"you know me?"

"Sir, the younger one is Li Changlin, who was guarding the Suzaku Gate before. Have you forgotten?"

After hearing what the other party said, Chu Mo felt that the person in front of him did indeed look familiar.

"If you're not guarding the Suzaku Gate, why are you here leading the troops?"

Li Changlin chuckled twice, and then said sheepishly:

"It's thanks to your lord's blessing that I have been promoted all the way up and now I am the deputy commander of the Beiya Imperial Army."

"No, His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict today, asking me to wait until we enter the palace..."

Speaking of this, Li Changlin paused.

Look at your mouth, why is it that you have no control over it and that everything you say comes out?

While he was feeling annoyed, his hand was held by Chu Mo.

Skillfully he pulled Li Changlin aside, skillfully took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and stuffed them into the layer of the opponent's armor. Chu Mo asked again skillfully:

"Xiao Lizi, tell me, does Li Shimin have any big plans? Let you enter the palace to hunt down traitors?"

Touching the thick stack of banknotes on his chest and looking at Chu Mo's curious expression, Li Changlin hesitated for a moment, but finally did not dare to deceive the other party.

You must know that the person standing in front of you is a person who even gives His Majesty the Emperor a headache, but there is nothing he can do about him.

Look at the way the other party is walking out casually, with hundreds of people following behind him.

If I don't reveal some useful information today, I will probably offend this villain even if I don't tell him about the banknote he gave me.

As long as he restrains himself here and misses the time for his gathering, then he will definitely be unable to eat and walk around.

After making an excuse for himself, Li Changlin accepted Chu Mo's bank note with peace of mind, and then said solemnly:

"Sir, we followed the Holy Order and brought people to the palace to change defenses."

Li Changlin deliberately emphasized the word "special".

How could a person like Chu Mo not hear it?

Immediately, he laughed, patted the other party's shoulder and said:

"Well, little plum, we agreed that in two days, you will treat me to a drink, and we will see you there."

After saying that, he returned to the team as if nothing had happened, waved to Li Changlin again, and left with the others.

Looking at Chu Mo's leaving figure and touching the banknote in his arms, Li Changlin was overjoyed.

I didn't expect that I could receive such a large amount of extra money just by going out.

If I can complete the errands assigned by His Majesty the Emperor later, then I will be promoted and make a fortune.
