Xiao Quzhi pointed to the wine jar and said, "This is the wine made by my master, it is very intoxicating, and I can only drink a small bowl at a time." After speaking, Xiao Quzhi gestured with his hand.

Then he pointed to the box of chocolates and said: "This is the immortal fruit that the master asked for the emperor, this box of sealed ones is dedicated to His Majesty and Niangniang, and there are three zeros for Gao Gaocheng, the envoy of the king, and Duan Bei will try it." After saying that, Xiao Quzhi took out three identical chocolates from his backpack.

"Oh, and our share?" Wang Chengen said excitedly.

"Master commanded, dare not do it. The three of them can taste it for His Majesty to see if it is really a fairy fruit. ”

Wang Chengen was overjoyed, what about the immortal fruit dedicated to the emperor, he didn't dare to taste it if he gave him a hundred dares, but since it was tried for His Majesty, and it was ordered by his master, it was different.

"This fruit is packed with spirits, so be prepared when you eat it." Xiao Quzhi peeled one open and gave it to Wang Chengen: "The envoy will ask first." ”

Wang Chengen put the chocolate in his mouth and took a bite. Gao Xianzhi and Duan Xiushi's gazes fell on his face.

A mouthful of wine juice flowed into the mouth, and instantly the whole mouth was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and the throat was hot. The chocolate and rock sugar melt little by little, and the wine flavor is mixed with the taste, which is a wonderful feeling that has never been felt before. Wang Chengen didn't speak for a long time, the expression on his face was indescribably rich, and his eyes emitted a strange light.

Wang Chengen put the chocolate in his mouth, reluctant to bite it, the melted chocolate liquid, rock sugar water, mixed with fruit wine slowly flowed into the stomach, and the whole person was hot and dizzy.

A chocolate Wang Chengen ate it for more than three minutes before eating, with a happy expression on his face: "Sure enough, it's a fairy fruit, it's really delicious." ”

Gao Xianzhi and Duan Xiushi also ate their own chocolates, and of course the result was the same as Wang Chengen, and the two of them showed intoxicated and excited expressions.

The two closed their mouths for a while, and Gao Xianzhi reacted: "It is indeed an immortal fruit, what about the third treasure." ”

Xiao Quzhi picked up the camping lamp, glanced at the oil lamp lit in the room, and said: "This thing is called the Eight Scenes Glass Lantern, and it can only show its seconds in the dark." ”

Duan Xiushi blew out the oil lamp as he said, and Xiao Quzhi pressed the switch of the camping lamp.

30 ultra-bright LEDs instantly lit up the entire room, and the eyes of the three people opened wide, as if they had seen the most incredible thing. Xiao Quzhi pressed the switch again, and 60 LEDs illuminated the whole room brightly, like daytime.

Xiao Quzhi put the camping lantern on the table, and said: "This is the treasure of the immortal family, Master asked me to dedicate it to His Majesty the Emperor, wishing His Majesty a blessing to the world and a long life." ”

"Your Majesty blesses the world, and the holy life is extended." The three of them said in unison.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the three of them, Xiao Quzhi knew that his calculation had succeeded. The appearance of this lamp was completely beyond their imagination, unexpected, incomprehensible, and in the end it could only be attributed to ghosts and gods. Gao and Duan are a little better, but Wang Chengen is like crazy.

Wang Chengen came to Xiao Quai's illness with a little trembling, turned his head to Gao Xianzhi and said, "This son must go back to Chang'an with me immediately, and we will leave tomorrow morning." ”

"I can't go back to Chang'an with you now, because I still have a fourth gift to give to Your Majesty." Without waiting for Gao Xianzhi to speak, Xiao Quzhi hurriedly said.

"Oh, and treasures? Hurry up, huh? Wang Chengen felt like he was going crazy.

"My fourth gift is to obey the orders of the division and help the Anxi army win the Great Cannibal, and the Tang Dynasty will expand its territory and truly enter the river." Xiao Quzhi said unhurriedly.

Gao Xianzhi immediately remembered, no, didn't he just want to ask, how did his master want him to help him? It was only interrupted by the offering of treasure. Gao Xianzhi came back to his senses and said, "Then how does your master want you to help a certain family?" ”

"Will you believe me?"

"Yes."

"It's a matter of heaven, I can only tell you alone." Xiao Quzhi's tone was both serious and firm.

Duan Xiushi and Wang Chengen saw the solemnity of Xiao Quai's words, and quickly said goodbye and left the room for Gao Xianzhi and Xiao Quai.

"Can you say it now?"

Xiao Quzhi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's about my life and death, I want to ask Zhongcheng to make an oath before I say it, and I can't tell anyone about today's events." ”

Gao Xianzhi frowned: "So serious? ”

Xiao Quzhi nodded and said: "If you don't send it, I won't say it, and I will go to Chang'an with the envoy tomorrow." ”

Gao Xianzhi thought for a while and said, "Okay, I swear, if I leak what you said today to a third person, I will let a certain arrow pierce his heart and die." ”

Xiao Quzhi thought to himself, Gaoli stick was finally fooled, it was in vain for me to plan step by step, fooling people seriously, and I almost couldn't hold back a few times. Now he can finally say: "Master said that if Gao Cheng goes to the river, he will be defeated, and if there is not one out of ten in the army, Zhongcheng may die!" ”

Gao Xianzhi looked at Xiao Quzhi with a flawed expression, his body trembled slightly, he looked very emotional, and he almost wanted to have a seizure, but in the end he forcibly suppressed it: "What did you say?" ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled and said, "Zhongcheng doesn't have to be angry, just sit down and listen to me in detail." ”

"You say."

"On that day, I was practicing, and Master called me and told me that he had inadvertently comprehended the Heavenly Machine, that is, this year, Datang would suffer three major defeats, and tens of thousands of Datang soldiers would die. The tutor couldn't bear it, so he sent me down the mountain to solve this crisis. The tutor said that there were three big defeats, but the defeat of the Anxi army in the river was the most regrettable, so he asked me to go down the mountain to help the high school and turn defeat into victory.

The tutor also said that if I forcibly change the heavens, I will be punished by heaven, and the tutor will find a way to resolve it for me. However, the mana of the family teacher is limited, if I leak the heavenly machine and affect the results of the other two battles, the family teacher and I will be counterattacked by the heavenly machine. Therefore, I had to ask Zhongcheng to make an oath before I dared to tell the truth. ”

The rhetoric has been thought of a long time ago, and all Xiao has to do is to organize the language and mobilize emotions when he is on the spot. He finished speaking without hurry, and then looked at Gao Xianzhi with a straight face.

Gao Xianzhi's face was solemn. This passage is so shocking that the other party keeps saying that not only will he win the battle, but also two places will also lose the battle, and tens of thousands of soldiers will die! How is this possible?

It is no wonder that Gao Xianzhi thinks so, since the Tang Dynasty defeated the Tuqi Shisulu Khan more than ten years ago, the Tang Dynasty has never encountered a decent opponent, and almost never lost a battle. In the battle of each opponent, they have the advantage, the Turks weakened, the Turks were destroyed, the Khitan, Xi was honest, although the Tubo was still strong, but in the past ten years, the Tang Dynasty has also won many battles against the Tubo, and there are very few defeats.

Gao Xianzhi really couldn't think of any enemy that could make Datang lose more than 100,000 soldiers at once.

Especially if he himself will lose, lose to Da Shi? This is simply ridiculous, how can you lose!! It's just a big food, just a few Zhaowu Jiuguo Hu, how can it be the opponent of my Anxi Iron Army? Even if I can't win easily, how can I lose so much, I don't even save one out of ten, and even I almost die?

Gao Xianzhi's face sank, slowly stood up from the bed, stared at Xiao Quai's eyes, and said, "How do you say that so-and-so will be defeated?" ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled, what he wanted was this effect: "There are clouds in the book of soldiers, knowing each other and knowing oneself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles; I don't know who I am, one wins and one loses. Dare to ask Zhongcheng, how much do you know about big food? ”

"This ......," Gao Xianzhi said. Gao Xianzhi does know less about big food. Not to mention the big food, even the understanding of the nine surnames of Zhaowu is relatively vague. Because, he thinks, this is not needed at all, Datang is the strongest in the world, and all enemies will be wiped out in front of Datang.

Xiao Quzhi glanced at him, and his speech sped up, "I can tell Zhongcheng that the strength of Dashi is not weaker than that of Datang." The territory of Da Shi is not much worse than that of Da Tang, and the soldiers of Da Shi are not worse than those of Da Tang, and they are all not afraid of death. They also have the best war horses in the world, the sharpest scimitars.

Zhongcheng should know how powerful Sassanid Persia was back then, dominating the Western Regions, and in less than ten years, it was completely conquered by the Great Eclipse. The last prince of Persia was exiled in Chang'an, and Zhongcheng of the Persian Temple in Liquanfang should have been there, right? To the west of Dashi, there was also a thousand-year-old empire, the Rome of the Great Qin in the Han Dynasty. The Great Eclipse competes with it and defeats each other many times.

And to the east of Dashi, what is competing with our Datang is only a Khorasan province of Dashi, which is equivalent to a Datang festival envoy, and can compete with Datang and Tuqi Shi for so many years.

The Great Cannibals have sent envoys to Datang many times, and the merchants of Dashi are also all over Chang'an and Luoyang, doing business in Datang all the year round. Da Shi can be said to know Datang very well, but what about our Datang? Have you ever sent an envoy to Dashi, but there are Tang businessmen who go to Dashi to do business? How much does the entire Datang know about Dashi? ”

The more Xiao Qu was sick, the faster he talked, but the more Gao Xianzhi said it, the more frightened he became, and he already believed most of Xiao Qu's words. Sassanid Persian Gao Xianzhi still has an understanding, a rare big country, it is indeed destroyed in the hands of the Great Eater, when Gaozong, the capital of Anxi escorted Pei Xingjian to escort the Persian prince home. On the other hand, Datang does not know enough about Dashi, but Dashi knows more about Datang.

I don't know the enemy, but the enemy knows me, and I lose half of it before I fight!

Gao Xianzhi groaned there without speaking, and Xiao Quzhi continued: "Therefore, Master asked me to help Zhongcheng, the Anxi Iron Army, unparalleled in the world, as long as Zhongcheng no longer despises the big food, this battle will be won!" I am a person from the mountains and wilderness, and I don't know about soldiers, and nothing else can help Zhongcheng, but I know all the truth and the inside story of the big food, and Zhongcheng can ask me along the way. The words have been said, and Zhong Cheng thinks about it. ”

Xiao Quai's sentence is not false, his father is an expert in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and he is particularly concerned about the Battle of Talas. Under the influence of his father, Xiao Qubing also knows a lot about this history, and in his computer, there is all the information about this battle.

Gao Xianzhi laughed and sat back on the Hu bed. He became more and more convinced that the young man in front of him had indeed come to help him. If he made irresponsible remarks about his various measures and the combat strength of the Anxi Army, Gao Xianzhi would have to doubt the authenticity and motives of the other party. But he only said not to underestimate the enemy, and I know all the details of the big cannibal, you can ask me, Gao Xianzhi completely believes it.

As for how the other party is young, how he knows all the details of the big food, Gao Xianzhi doesn't think it's strange, who calls someone a good master.

"In this case, you can go back to Anxi with me, and tell me about the situation of the big food along the way." He paused, remembered something, and said, "The other two battles, is there really no way to change it?" ”

"There is no way, you know, it is easy to know the destiny of heaven, but it is difficult to change the destiny of heaven. Besides, the tutor only counted that there would be, but did not count when, where, and whom. Only the Anxi Army was counted by the family teacher, and it was extremely difficult to change the day. ”

For this, Xiao Quzhi thought very clearly. It's easy to say, but it's even more difficult to make others believe it, and his own plans can only make Gao Xianzhi half-convinced, let alone others thousands of miles away. Besides, even if people believe in you, will you be able to win? It would be good to be able to change the tide of the battle of Talas, and if you are not greedy, you will only achieve nothing.

Gao Xianzhi was silent, sighed, and thought in his heart, I hope his master's prediction was wrong.

Gao Xianzhi called Duan Xiushi and Wang Chengen in and announced the decision: Xiao Qu was sick and wanted to go to Anxi with him.

Wang Chengen saw that Xiao Qu was sick and did not go to Chang'an, so he decided not to go back. The three of them discussed the selection of five shrewd and capable soldiers, and rushed back to Chang'an with the baby horse tomorrow morning to offer the treasure.

After dinner, Xiao Quzhi explained in detail the use of camping lanterns and precautions to the three of them and the two smart and clever soldiers selected by Gao Xianzhi, which were written by Duan Xiushi without going into details.

Let's just say that late that night, none of the four of them slept. Xiao went to the sick and found a place where there was no one, first stood in a three-body pose, closed his eyes, felt the changes in his body, and soon entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

Gao Xianzhi told Duan Xiushi what Xiao was going to do, except for the prophecy, of course. Unexpectedly, Duan Xiushi agreed with Xiao Quai's words, and also thought that his side was indeed a little underestimated.

The little eunuch Wang Chengen, who couldn't sleep all night with excitement, looked at the camping lamp again and again, and began to write the recital, while muttering to himself: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the slave maid has found you a fake immortal disciple this time." ”

"Ahh In Chang'an, thousands of miles away, in the early hours of the morning, Li Longji, who was asleep, suddenly sneezed loudly and sat up from the bed.

"San Lang, what's wrong?" Yang Guifei on the side asked with concern.

"It's okay, I dreamed that Lao Tzu gave me a dream, saying that there were immortals offering treasures." Li Longji said half-asleep and half-awake.

Then, a few days later, he really received three treasures.
