this?

Wu Liang was shocked.

Is this person really Zuo Ci?!

He can be sure that he is definitely not the only one who refuses to believe that the person tied into a rice dumpling is Zuo Ci. Anyone who knows anything about Zuo Ci in future generations will definitely not believe that the next person is Zuo Ci.

.

A famous alchemist who was able to fool Boss Cao around in history, and a near-godly stranger who was recognized and recorded by many historical celebrities and ancient books, could have such embarrassing moments and such a huge contrast, it is really unbelievable.

Imagination is simply too ridiculous.

But then I thought about it again.

There is no way this person is not Zuo Ci.

Because according to the information obtained by Yang Wanli, Zuo Ci did not have any influence in Jinyang City before, and the people did not know who Zuo Ci was at all. Therefore, no matter who it was, no matter what the purpose was, there was no way he could pretend to be Zuo Ci.

If necessary, this approach is not as effective as randomly finding a charlatan in a local village.

And it is precisely because Zuo Ci has never appeared in Jinyang City before, so even fabrication and impersonation have no basis. If it were not an almost impossible coincidence, the name Zuo Ci should not be here at all.

He appeared everywhere, and it was even more impossible for Zhang Liang to call him an immortal master in front of the whole city.

so……

Just when Wu Liang was in a state of shock and uncertainty.

"Crack!"

Seeing that Zuo Ci had fallen off the carriage and was still twisting and trying to escape, the driver jumped out of the carriage with agility and whipped him.

"Uh-huh!"

The pain made Zuo Ci twist his body even more violently, and even rolled on the ground.

The groom looked at Zhang Liang with fear. When he saw Zhang Liang looking at him, a look of obvious fear appeared on his face, and then he hit Zuo Ci with two more whips.

"Pah! Pah!"

While whipping back, he cursed angrily, "You are a short-lived ghost who has been stabbed a thousand times. If you don't want to live, you will die. How can you implicate me? If Zhang Gong punishes me for this, I will definitely repay you double the amount."

Get in the car quickly if you don’t want me to!”

As he spoke, he did not dare to delay any further. He quickly grabbed the rope around Zuo Ci and used all his strength to drag Zuo Ci into the carriage.

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"

Zuo Ci was still struggling.

However, his whole body was tied tightly, and it was difficult for him to use the strength to break free. In the end, he was forcibly dragged back into the car by the driver.

And in this process.

Wu Liang also noticed Zuo Ci's expression.

When Zuo Ci looked at Zhang Liang, who was standing next to Wu Liang, he was unwilling to accept it. His grief and anger were mixed with a little fear. It was a more complex but easy-to-understand expression. Obviously, the relationship between Zuo Ci and Zhang Liang was definitely not the same.

It was exactly the opposite as what Wu Liang had thought before.

…

After a while.

Everything returned to calm.

When Wu Liang turned around and looked at Zhang Liang beside him, he realized that Zhang Liang was already looking at him with a half-smiling expression on his face.

"Mr. Zhang..."

Wu Liang quickly lowered his gaze and bowed.

"Do you recognize this person?"

Zhang Liang asked with a smile.

"This is the first time this villain meets this person, how can he recognize him?"

Wu Liang lowered his head and said.

"But when you saw him just now, you seemed to be in a trance."

Zhang Liang then laughed again.

"It's just that in the previous sacrificial ceremony, Duke Zhang had recommended him and called him an immortal master. The villain was also present at that time, so I have a little impression."

Wu Liang put it another way and said, "That's why I was a little surprised when I saw this person in such a state, so I fell into a trance."

"Haha, this is the second time you have lied to the county."

Zhang Liang smiled again, and without waiting for Wu Liang's quibbles, he immediately said as if he was playing a word game with him, "Since you have met this person at the sacrificial ceremony, it shouldn't be said that this is the first time you have met him, it should be

See you for the second time."

"What Mr. Zhang taught me is that the villain made a mistake in his statement. Please forgive me, Mr. Zhang."

Wu Liang had no choice but to salute again quickly and put on a trembling look to apologize.

"Hmph! What I dislike the most in this county is people who tell lies!"

Zhang Liang suddenly snorted coldly, and his expression suddenly turned cold.

Looking at the soldiers around Zhang Liang, they seemed to have been stuffed into their arms by a ball of snow after hearing these words. They all shivered and shrank their necks.

"..."

Dian Wei also quietly lowered his arm, ensuring that he could instantly take out the copper dagger hidden in his waist at any time.

This time he did not carry the pair of halberds tailor-made for him by Wu Liang. Those weapons were a bit flamboyant. In order to get closer to Zhang Liang more easily and gain his trust, Wu Liang placed his copper daggers.

On Dian Wei.

"Mr. Zhang forgives me for my sins. The villain realizes his mistake. The villain realizes his mistake!"

Wu Liang's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly bowed down in fear and apologized to Zhang Liang.

This time it’s not just because of the polite-before-attack style of doing things.

But Wu Liang does have a bit of a sense of uncertainty.

After all, he still preferred that the person being tied up was Zuo Ci.

Who is Zuo Ci?

Such a person met Zhang Liang and met such a miserable end. Wu Liang naturally had reason to believe that Zhang Liang was not a good person, and maybe he was an extremely terrifying figure that was not recorded in history books.

That's why.

Before fully understanding the situation, Wu Liang believed that there should not be any conflict with Zhang Liang.

He even regretted it. He should have asked Yang Wanli to investigate carefully for another ten days and a half, and maybe he could find out some of Zhang Liang's details instead of being so reckless as now.

It is also strange that the records about Zuo Ci in the history books misled him.

This made him habitually think that everything in Jinyang City was dominated by Zuo Ci, and Zhang Liang was just a little person who was played around by Zuo Ci.

Wu Liang certainly didn't have any burdens or worries when he came into contact with a little-known person. After all, his ability to play tricks was no worse than anyone else in this era. At least so far, he had never encountered anyone who could really pull off a few tricks.

opponent.

"It smells so good..."

Facing Wu Liang's sincerity and fear, Zhang Liang stopped looking at him, and then brought the sachet in front of his face, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully, saying to himself, "It smells so good.

I have never seen such a strange aroma in my life."

"If Mr. Zhang likes it, I am willing to prepare a few more servings for Mr. Zhang to enjoy. I just ask Mr. Zhang not to argue with the villain about his sin of blunder."

Wu Liang quickly bowed down again and followed Zhang Liang's wishes.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang finally opened his eyes again, looked at him with interest and said: "So, although you can't give me the secret recipe left by your ancestors, you can prepare this for me according to the secret recipe.

fragrant?"

"Why not? A good horse still needs Bo Le's appreciation, and Bo Ya needs Zi Qi's close friend. If the villain's ancestors knew that this fragrance was so favored by Zhang Gong, they would be very happy to think about it."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Haha, you are quite a well-rounded person."

Zhang Liang still looked very interested and said noncommittally, "I'm afraid a few servings won't satisfy me... Since you said so, just follow me back home. As long as you concentrate on arranging this incense for me, I will do it myself."

I won’t treat you badly.”

As he spoke, Zhang Liang turned around and walked towards the carriage regardless of whether Wu Liang agreed or not.

"Walk!"

The soldiers spontaneously surrounded Wu Liang and Dian Wei and escorted them behind the carriage.

…

"Master..."
