The Last Mecha

Chapter 200 Release on Bail, Letting Go

Hearing Jiang Mulin's sudden question, Zhang Li's wrinkled face did not move at all, and he still said in a weak tone: "Which one is Master Jiang talking about?"

"It's meaningless for Mr. Zhang to talk like that. The question is not difficult, is it?" Jiang Mulin raised his teacup, and the warm tea poured into the two potted plants at his feet, his tone neither salty nor weak.

"That's not what I said. Yes, I know what it is about, but after thinking about it, it might not be a big deal for someone like Master Jiang. If I insist on it, it would be a bit offensive."

"Hey, Mr. Zhang means that this is no longer a problem for me."

"After all, Master Jiang is as clear as I am about the manpower and material resources of Breton and Fusang people in Jiangsong, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow, so it's hard to say."

"My lord also thinks this is a Hongmen banquet?"

"I, an old guy, really have no idea about this matter. Speaking of which, I originally wanted to ask, should Master Jiang?"

"If they really want to talk, this is a good opportunity. Your Majesty means that you don't want to get into trouble with two countries at the same time."

"Master Jiang can speak up if he has any needs, but it's a pity that the people in my hands may not be as good as your apprentices in terms of individual soldiers."

"I'm just kidding, those youngsters have too little knowledge, so Yun Qian has been practicing for the longest time and has achieved some results. But they are all from the original body, and they are not equipped with any technological components that can double the result with half the effort,"

"It's ashamed to say that this aspect started late in the country, and everyone didn't."

"If that's the case, it's a headache—however, individual soldiers may not be needed, I just think it would be better if there is a personal scene, no matter whether they really want to talk or not, I want them to sit in peace Come down and talk."

"However." Zhang Li retracted his sleeves, "I heard that the meeting place is in Rui Zelan's neutral pavilion. If the Municipal Council makes a big splash, it may give people a chance to make a fuss. I heard that His Majesty recently wanted to Negotiating with foreigners, since you want to talk, it’s not easy to get caught by these tails.”

"That's true." Jiang Mulin scratched his chin with two fingers, "What about the forces outside the government?"

"I'm not afraid of speaking harshly, Master Jiang, with the establishment of the Guoshu Academy, the only ones in the martial arts community who are willing to help are your own connections."

"Your Excellency, what do you mean, in Jiangsong City, my surname Jiang is alone and helpless?"

"Of course not. As long as you say a word, the entire city council will take care of you."

"The premise is that I speak up, right? I understand, indeed, no one wants to take the blame for employing people indiscriminately and having a bad influence." Jiang Mulin nodded, "Okay, I get it, I don't need the Municipal Council tonight Help, even said you better not move, Mr. Zhang must know what I mean."

"clear."

"That's it for this matter. I've already decided. I'm just asking casually—it's about the memory core. I know Mr. Zhang has no intention of treason with his heart, but you really think this matter can pass like this. ?”

"If His Majesty is still not satisfied, I will check later. I, Mr. Zhang, have nothing to complain about. After all, everything is due to my own ineffective supervision. If you go back and forth here, please trouble Master Jiang."

Zhang Li trembled and bowed to salute, but was held firmly by Jiang Mulin's strong hands.

The old man's wrinkled face was reflected in the gray eyes, and the exhaustion that could not be concealed appeared from every corner.

Jiang Mulin said slowly with a blank face: "Master Zhang, although my surname Jiang is a martial artist, I know a thing or two about officialdom and politics, and many things are not right and wrong, so I naturally understand the truth—— It's not your fault, what's the trouble with this trip?"

"I, Mr. Zhang, was born in a poor family. I lost my wife in middle age and had no children. I have no relatives in this world. In this regard, I am not ashamed to say that I am somewhat similar to Master Jiang. Your four apprentices...maybe there will be five soon. , What are they to you?" Zhang Li didn't raise his head, and a deep voice came, "I'm offended, the old man just asked this question, and doesn't need to hear the answer."

The middle-aged man in front of him was silent for a long while, and finally nodded, "Okay, I understand, Master Zhang thinks so, so I can't say anything. But everything has its own limits, it's the same for me and His Majesty. Master Zhang understands this truth, but others may not."

"Understood, I understand. Before the situation gets out of hand, I will clean up the door. Just in case, I also want to borrow a reliable person from Master Jiang tonight."

"How reliable is it?"

"The more reliable the better."

"Okay, for the rest, let's get in touch."

"Take all precautions, but it's hard to guard against house thieves."

After Zhang Li was sent away, Jiang Mulin, who was sitting in the courtyard, looked at the sky and muttered.

"Master Jiang." Song Yunqian, who was hiding in the back room, quickly jumped out and yelled, "Zhang Li, this old bastard, made it clear that he wanted to stand by and watch, right?"

"Yunqian."

"Let's not go. I understand. With such a big Jiang Song, there are only a few of us brothers and sisters standing by your side. A letter from Zhenghe Emperor not only opened the way for us, but also let Xingyi The door became the target of criticism."

"Yun Qian." Jiang Mulin's voice raised two pitches, and the big apprentice who was chattering in front of him quieted down, "I just have a question, do you believe your master?"

"I believe."

"Then don't worry about it. Your master is not a fool. If you jump into the fire pit by yourself, will I live long enough to find my own death?"

"But."

"Speak less, manage less, and learn more. Now is not the pure era of the past. For those of us who practice martial arts, we should seldom touch the affairs of bureaucracy, but - we must understand."

"Yeah." After listening, Song Yunqian held his chin in thought for a while, and then looked sad, "Master Jiang, but what Zhang Li said just now was confusing to me, except for the fact that the Municipal Council didn't want to get involved in the meeting. , didn't hear anything."

"Hey, you can't hear it, of course you can't. The memory core has caused Zhang Li to have a heart disease. I'm afraid the entire city council will not end well in the end."

"Master Jiang, the person involved in the memory core is really not Zhang Li? Who the hell is that?"

"Want to know?"

"I don't want to, I'm so anxious."

"That's right. At night, first of all, you let those little devils settle down. Be sure, make sure they don't have any chance to act wild, you have to make sure."

"Master Jiang, don't worry, I have a unique skill in this regard."

"After that, I have something else to ask you to go, and you will understand after you go."

"what's up?"

"I want you, go and help that Zhang Li."

"what?"
