Ren Zhen's performance since he went to the north is completely the other extreme. In order to open up the situation in the Northern Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, he fought for everything, and even did not hesitate to anger the eastern and western parties in the court, which can be described as sharp.

In Mo Yingshou's view, young people are strong in blood and strength, and swaggering through the market is the way to death. Ren Zhen used too much conspiracy, it was too rigid and easy to break, and it was easy to poke out of the basket in the future.

He was very worried about Ren Zhen's safety, after all, the two shared weal and woe, if Ren Zhen became a prisoner and faced the torture of Xue Yingwei, he might confess him, then at that time, it would be impossible for him to continue to fight and live a stable life in the troubled times.

Therefore, in front of Ren Zhen, he said this, not to sincerely ask Ren Zhen how to deal with himself, but to imply and remind him that as the owner of the embroidery shop, he could not make too many enemies, let alone provoke the Southern Jin Dynasty and cause death for himself.

"If you run a gambling business, you should understand a truth. No matter how clever a gambler is, it is impossible to win and not lose, and once he loses, he will go bankrupt and never recover. In troubled times, the safest way is not to gamble and not fight. ”

He believed that with Ren Zhen's wisdom, he would definitely understand the meaning of the exhortation.

Ren Zhen was silent for a while and said, "I understand." ”

He had no idea of arguing or rebutting. For example, people drink water and know their own warmth and coldness, everyone's situation is different, and it is as difficult for others to understand their own difficulties as it is for them to understand others.

Mo Yingshou's expression was slightly relaxed, and he said, "However, I am very much in favor of saving Wu Daosi. You should be able to see that he is an important pawn in Beihai, hide him under his command, in case Beihai gains power in the future......"

He stopped at the point and didn't say anything.

Ren Zhen smiled secretly, this person is really an eagle and a wolf, always thinking of finding a way out, and now he regards Wu Daosi as a talisman, if Beihai can really capture Chang'an and restore Gaotang, he can use it to curry favor with the old royal family.

He didn't want to talk about the topic of Beihai, so he said: "There is one thing that I have always wondered, the Mo family lives in Chang'an, and the head of the eagle is the head of the family, and his status is Xuanhe, why did he put on the red clothes of the embroidery workshop?" ”

After all, Mo Yingshou's family business and relatives are all in Chang'an, if he wants to seek glory and wealth, he should also be loyal to the Northern Tang Dynasty, and he will never take the risk of working for the Southern Jin Dynasty and committing treason to the enemy.

What the hell is he trying to do?

Since Ren Zhen knew that Mo Wentian was the head of the eagle, he couldn't figure this out in his heart. However, the information about the leaders of the four halls in the workshop is blank and there is no way to find out.

Mo Yingshou frowned, looked directly at Ren Zhen, looked at it for a while, and then said: "About this secret, I should let you know, maybe it is also your fate." ”

Ren Zhen was stunned, I don't know why.

"When I joined the embroidery workshop, I was only twenty years old, and I was not the head of the Mo family. At that time, I felt that staying in Chang'an was too boring, and I longed for the free life of fresh clothes and angry horses, so I went out to travel. Along the way, I always heard people praise that the south of the Yangtze River is good, the sunrise river flowers are red, and the river water is as green as blue in spring......"

As Mo Yingshou spoke, he got up and walked to the bookshelf, picked out an ancient book, flipped through it casually, and his melodious thoughts drifted back to a long time ago.

So, I crossed the river alone and sneaked into the hinterland of the Southern Jin Dynasty, wanting to have a good time. Once, at the Jinling Restaurant, I got drunk and behaved wildly, which attracted the attention of other guests. Unexpectedly, one of them actually saw me in Chang'an! ”

When Ren Zhen heard this, he was suddenly shocked, and it seemed that he was in trouble.

"That person recognized that I was the eldest son of the Mo family in the Northern Tang Dynasty, and he went to the Yamen overnight to report to the official, and also slandered me as a spy of the Northern Tang Dynasty, intending to cheat the bounty. Defenseless, I was taken into the embroidery workshop and tortured. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Ying's eyes were cold and terrifying.

"I'm innocent, what's the best trick, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that a man dressed in white like a ghost came to visit me in prison, saying that as long as I took advantage of my identity, I followed the arrangement in the future and helped him get information, he could let me go."

Dressed in white like a ghost?

Ren Zhen suddenly thought, "That person is ......"

Mo Yingshou turned around and nodded, confirming his guess, "That's right, it's Uncle Cao Guo." ”

Ren Zhen's expression changed suddenly, the vicious methods of his uncle Cao Chunfeng, he had deeply understood it for several years, how could he not know how powerful it was.

"As long as I can live, how can I not agree? In this way, I became a member of the embroidery workshop. At that time, I thought that as long as I fled back to my territory, even if I broke my promise and refused to fulfill my previous promise, what could the Southern Jin Dynasty do to me? ”

He coughed dryly, his face was slightly pale, and he said bitterly: "I later learned that my thoughts were too naïve. If the Southern Jin Dynasty dares to let me come back, they are not afraid that I will change their hexagrams, and they have already had a way to deal with it. That Cao Chunfeng did a hand and foot in my body......"

"What did you say?"

Ren Zhen suddenly jumped up from the chair and stared at Mo Yingshou, his face paler than the other party.

Mo Yingshou knew why he was so excited, patted his shoulder, and asked him to sit down first.

"He had some kind of Gu in my body. Every once in a while, the Gu poison will attack, and the pain all over the body will be unbearable, as if being bitten by ten thousand snakes, life is worse than death. On the night of the first poison attack, he personally appeared in Chang'an and gave me a pill, and after I took it, the poison Gu immediately retreated. ”

Thinking back to the horrible pain, a lot of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"He told me that this poisonous Gu was raised by him himself, and he was alone in the world, and no one but him could solve it. As long as I am willing to be obedient and obediently serve the Southern Jin Dynasty, he will regularly send me antidotes to suppress the onset of poisonous Gu in advance. I was greedy for life and afraid of death, and I didn't dare to commit suicide, so I was tamed. ”

Ren Zhen trembled slightly, and his whole body was cold when he heard it.

At this time, he finally appreciated Emperor Wu's maneuvering methods. He was extremely sure that he must have been poisoned by Gu in his body before he could be released with confidence.

"So, under the control of the Southern Jin Dynasty, I took advantage of the deep foundation of the Mo family to single-handedly establish the Eagle Vision Hall to monitor the northern border. During this period, in order to seek medicine, I killed too many compatriots in the Northern Tang Dynasty, and I could never turn back. Nanjin Enwei used it together, and finally gave me an antidote to completely eliminate the poisonous Gu. ”

The Eagle Vision Hall is very successful, and Emperor Wu also understands the truth that it is too much, and exerts excessive pressure on Mo Yingshou, in case he drives him crazy, it is too cost-effective.

Chief Mo Ying exhaled a breath of turbidity, like the rest of his life after a catastrophe, wiped his sweat and said: "The thing I regret the most in my life is to travel to the Southern Jin Dynasty. understands the most profound truth, that is, never be the enemy of the Southern Jin Dynasty. Hope you understand soon! ”

He just said that maybe it was Ren Zhen's fate, that's what he meant. The Southern Jin Dynasty even took great pains to tame an eagle falcon, if it was to deal with the embroidery owner, it would not be as simple as a poisonous Gu.

The name in Ren Zhen's body may be even more terrifying.

Therefore, he told this secret in the hope that Ren Zhen would realize the consequences and stop doing stupid things that angered the Southern Jin Dynasty. Otherwise, once the Southern Jin Dynasty lowered the punishment and implicated his net worth, then he would have died too unjustly.

Ren Zhen's eyes froze, he looked at Mo Yingshou, tried his best to restrain his collapse emotion, and asked, "The poisonous Gu in my body has never attacked, what is the situation?" ”
