Zhang Shengnian used all his strength at this time and seemed to be barely standing.

He watched Tie Liuzhen drive his horse to the front of the cavalry. The cavalry easily cut through the mountain road and rushed straight to the end of the Koryo Iron Prisoner Army. The private troops that had been cultivated with countless hard work were strangled with the Koryo people behind them.

Blood flowers kept blooming, and broken flesh spread out on the ground.

However, clusters of faint fire surged deep in his pupils at this moment. He did not answer Gu Liubai's question, but asked in a strange tone, "Don't you think this world should not be like this?"

Gu Liubai looked at the old man with a little strange look, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Shengnian didn't know where the strength came from and said sternly, "Don't you think this is unfair? Everyone is born by his parents, and everyone has a life, but so many people are desperate, but they are killed by a few powerful practitioners. So many people have been easily defeated by one or two powerful practitioners for many years. This world should not be like this!"

Hearing this voice, Chen Ruoruo sneered, she wanted to say that you two people fighting, but they can't blame others for being big?

However, at this time, Zhang Shengnian had continued, "One or two extremely powerful practitioners can decide the outcome of a battle, and even affect the rise and fall of a dynasty. Is this right? If the dynasty wants to be stable, it must rely on powerful practitioners. However, the clans always have the resources to practice. How can poor families have the opportunity to climb up? If even the clans have to give them to them, how can such chronic diseases be changed?"

"Everyone has a book?"

Zhang Shengnian laughed sadly again, "No matter how high your knowledge is, you are not a powerful practitioner. A clan can assassinate you by sending a practitioner to assassinate you. Even if everyone can practice, a clan can still hold the most powerful practice method in his hands. If you want to obtain powerful secret techniques, you must become a loyal slave of the clan. Is this world fair?"

Chen Ruoruo frowned.

Lu Letian looked at Zhang Shengnian with some surprise. He never thought that this old man would say such words.

There was no turbulence on Gu Liubai's face.

He looked at Zhang Shengnian, stretched out his finger and pointed out the mountains not far away, and said calmly, "These mountains, you have different views from different places. You can think what you said is correct. It seems that practitioners have become the root of unfairness, but you can try to see the Tang Dynasty from another place. You also understand that at this time, except for those particularly poor families, most ordinary families can even afford to study as long as they are diligent enough. No matter whether reading can get a better future, at least they can read and read, learn to learn, gain more knowledge, and see different worlds. Also, think about it, in the Tang Dynasty, at least everyone has food to eat, and there are not many people who starve to death. But which of the previous dynasties could do better than the Tang Dynasty?"

Zhang Shengnian sternly said, "Is that satisfied?"

"Don't seek medical treatment in an emergency." Gu Liubai said lightly, "You also say it is a chronic disease, deeply rooted and chronic disease that affects the whole body. Do you think it can be changed overnight by verbal talk by some people?"

Zhang Shengnian was stunned, but he still subconsciously refuted, "Emergency diseases require strong medicine!"

"If they say you believe it?" Gu Liubai smiled contemptuously, "Do you believe me or the prince?"

Zhang Shengnian was stunned.

Guo Que could hear clearly at this time. He said, "Do you think the prince is as powerful as Gu Daosheng? If Gu Daosheng can't do something, the prince tells you that he can, then you believe it?"

"The Tang Dynasty is a good bowl now. Although everyone who eats from the bowl may have different things, at least everyone can eat from this bowl." Gu Liubai looked at Zhang Shengnian and said calmly, "It is not only people like you who know that even when the administration collapsed in the late Sui Dynasty, there are still people working hard to govern and want reform. Do you think I don't want to change this chronic disease? But you also know that the Tang Dynasty was a prosperous era that has never been seen in the ages. Do you know how many people you mentioned are so powerful that they feel unfair to give their lives to form this prosperous era? At this time, if you want to change in the prosperous era, you should not directly break this bowl, but to take gentle measures as much as possible. You can eat a full meal from generation to generation, live a comfortable life, and proceed step by step, isn't it good?"

After a pause, Gu Liubai looked at Zhang Shengnian and smiled slightly mockingly, "So do this same thing, do you believe in the children of the family who are born with a golden key in their mouths, these vested interests you mentioned, or believe in the people who say this? In terms of reputation and ability, do you think the prince is better than me? Should you believe them or me?"

Guo Que was so excited that he almost applauded.

Lu Letian remained silent. He looked at the peaks that Gu Liubai was lit, and an unprecedented feeling rose in his heart.

He formed the Tianming Tower with Wang Renshan and others, and naturally wanted to do something great that would be worthy of all ages. However, his position and what he saw were different, and his eyes seemed to be limited to the interests in the city of Chang'an. But listening to the conversation between Gu Liubai and Zhang Shengnian, he knew that there were some things he would not think deeply and would not do, but Gu Liubai had already started to do it.

Gu Liubai looked at the battle in the mountain road and stopped discussing this issue with Zhang Shengnian. Instead, he said, "Perform the previous bet first. Since you lose, let me tell me where these firearms come from."

Zhang Shengnian was silent for a while and said, "These firearms come from the Blue Bird Workshop."

"Blue Bird Workshop?"

Lu Letian and Shangguan Zhaoyi were shocked at the same time.

Shangguan Zhaoyi was afraid that Gu Liubai would not know about the workshop, so he quickly explained softly, "Luoyang's workshop, military workshop... has nothing to do with Duke Pei."

Gu Liubai frowned instantly, "What does this mean is that the firearms used by the rebels of Fufeng County were secretly made by the workshop under the jurisdiction of Duke Pei Guogong?"

Zhang Shengnian nodded and said, "I am willing to accept the loss. I promise that this kind of thing is not false. Anyway, after this battle, this matter should be revealed soon."

Gu Liubai also nodded and asked, "Then where does the manufacturing method and materials of this firearm come from?"

Zhang Shengnian hesitated for a moment and said, "As far as I know, perhaps it is a catalogue from the Sui Dynasty, which has been secretly improved over the years."

Gu Liubai nodded, looked at Zhang Shengnian, and asked seriously, "Who are you guys?"

Zhang Shengnian was stunned.

He didn't expect Gu Liubai to ask such a question.

Gu Liubai's eyes fell on the white-haired old men who were killed by him, and then continued, "You should all be soldiers. What is the reason that makes you willing to lurk among the people for so many years and do this kind of thing silently?"

Zhang Shengnian's eyes also fell on the corpses of the white-haired old men. His body shook and stood firm again, "This is not within the scope of the bet, why do you care about such things?"

"I said you believe others than you do." Gu Liubai said calmly but with great confidence, and slowly, "I care about a lot of things. I can't do anything in the world fairly, but now you know who I am. You should have heard that at least the things in Yankangfang are very fair, and I don't just care about things related to my interests. You may have family, but my mother, including Guo Beixi and Liang Fengning who taught me to practice, have already died for the Tang Dynasty. What they wanted to see was just a better Tang Dynasty. I couldn't understand before, but when I went from Youzhou to Chang'an and saw the completely different differences between the Tang Dynasty and outside the pass, I began to understand. If you think the world is unfair and you can't support your grievances, maybe you can trust me."

Zhang Shengnian looked at Gu Liubai's eyes, and he seemed to see the authenticity of what he said from Gu Liubai's eyes.

Guo Que couldn't help but say contempt, "Brother, is there anyone with better reputation than Gu Daoshou outside the Tang Dynasty and the Pass? If he went to Famen Temple, even Sheng Ying and Tie Liuzhen believed in him and were willing to work hard for him, why don't you believe him?"

Zhang Shengnian laughed. He was obviously quite excited and could not reconcile his internal energy to suppress his injuries. So when he smiled, blood flowed down the corners of his mouth. "What if someone like us is someone who is very close to Gu Daoshou? For example, Duke Pei?"

Lu Letian was shocked, but Gu Liubai said calmly, "If so, I will give you an explanation, but you must understand that what you know and see may not be true. The facts you think are sometimes just want to use what your people show you. As for Duke Pei, I don't know much about him, but I just think that although the generals who fight step by step from the army like him are certainly kind and do not control the soldiers, he is unlikely to make loyal and brave soldiers feel unfair, and this unfairness cannot be declared. If you don't believe it, then give me some time and I will find out the truth of the matter."

Zhang Shengnian remained silent.

Gu Liubai looked at the corpses of the white-haired old men and said slowly, "Do you just want to forget this way? I lost this time, I just want to forget this way? And you think you may have to take revenge, but you don't want to try and see the truth of the matter?"

Zhang Shengnian's eyes fell on the corpses of those people. Before he could speak, Gu Liubai handed him a medicine for injury.

Zhang Shengnian's breathing paused slightly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then said in a cold voice, "We were all defenders of Baicaoyuan back then."
