"promise."

The steward hurriedly saluted, and when he came to Wu Liang, he lost his previous arrogance. He bowed down and said humbly, "Master, the master has finished speaking. I will lead the way for you, please."

"Thank you."

Wu Liang first saluted Zhang Liang, then returned the salute to the steward, and then left the hall with him.

In fact, Wu Liang didn't believe Zhang Liang's promise at all.

The conditions he proposed to Zhang Liang were nothing more than a temporary tactic to delay the war. Only by performing the whole trick in this way would it be easier to gain Zhang Liang's trust and thus buy some time for himself and the Hu army.

He could totally imagine it.

The elixir that Zhang Liang asked him to help refine was not trivial. If he did not accept the task, Zhang Liang would not let it go. But after he accepted the task, after seeing the elixir prescription, Zhang Liang was even less likely to let him go with the Hu army.

Leave.

Just like his "exotic fragrance formula" is a secret that is not passed down.

The prescription is also one of those things that cannot be easily revealed to others. If you want to ensure that the prescription does not spread, the safest way is undoubtedly to kill people and silence them.

Therefore, the current situation between him and the Hu army is no different than stretching one's neck with a sword and shrinking one's neck with one sword.

Wu Liang would definitely choose the knife that was more comfortable.

The temporary compromise and cooperation will undoubtedly make his life with the Hu army more comfortable. At least Zhang Liang will not attack them until the elixir is refined.

In the process, they also have more time to look for opportunities to escape.

Actually now.

On the contrary, he was more interested in the prescription.

The reason why Zhang Liang did not hand over the prescription to him immediately, in Wu Liang's opinion, was that there was only one possibility, that is, the prescription was not in Zhang Liang's hands yet.

After all, he and the Hu army are already meat and potatoes on the chopping block, and Zhang Liang is the one with the knife. At this moment, Zhang Liang does not need to consider the issue of trust at all. There is not much difference in handing over the pill recipe to him sooner or later. Under such circumstances

, it is better not to delay the matter, there is no need to delay at all.

As for whether Wu Liang, who knows nothing about alchemy, can refine it...

That's another story.

In short, regardless of whether he knows it or not, he must say he does now, and he must operate as fiercely as a tiger, otherwise he will be of no use to Zhang Liang. If he is of no use, there is no need to keep him, let alone take good care of him.

…

I saw Wu Liang standing and coming out of the hall.

Dian Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately ran forward and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang just asked me to do a small thing. After the thing is done, he promised to let us leave safely."

Wu Liang smiled "innocently".

"That's good."

Dian Wei nodded and followed Wu Liang without saying a word.

"The master thinks highly of you, and I hope you will not disappoint the master. Otherwise, the master is not easy to fool. The person living next door to you is an example."

The steward smiled and gave a "warning" to the side, and then said, "Since the master considers you to be the honored guests of the house, I will explain it later. If you have any needs, you only need to mention it to the servants in the house.

They will try their best to satisfy you and will never dare to neglect you two."

"Thank you, steward."

Wu Liang saluted and smiled.

"However, you are still not allowed to leave the house, nor are you allowed to move around inside the house. Also, please do not come into contact with the person next door. This may affect the master's trust in you and cause unnecessary trouble for you."

The steward said seriously again.

"The villain understands."

Wu Liang saluted and thanked him again.

However, Wu Liang sensed a hint of conspiracy from the steward's "warning".

Since Zhang Liang didn't want them to come into contact with Zuo Ci, why did he arrange them in the same courtyard as Zuo Ci?

I always feel that things are not so simple.

The area of ​​Zhang Mansion is not small, and there are many large and small separated courtyards. It is easy to make separate arrangements for the two of them. If you really don't want them to come into contact with Zuo Ci, you can teach them to connect with each other.

Can't even see him face to face.

But Zhang Liang did not do this.

Think about it carefully.

It seems that's not the case anymore...

Zhang Liang most likely wanted them to make contact, and he might have other motives for doing so:

Zuo Ci possesses some information that Zhang Liang wanted to know but could not get by all means. This information may be related to the elixir prescription that Zhang Liang has not obtained.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Liang could torture Zuo Ci, but he could not kill him.

But Zuo Ci refused to compromise, and the two sides reached a deadlock.
