The prince got Xun Mou again this time, and his joy was beyond words, and the three of them sat down again. The prince couldn't help laughing and said: "A while ago, I got Lu Zuo, a great scholar in the world, and now I get General Xun, who is said to be unparalleled in the world! It is said that 'Xun's plan for Lu Zuo is available in the world'. It seems that all the people in the world can get it." It’s in my bag!”
"Lu Zuo?" When Xun Mou heard this name, his heart tightened and his brows furrowed, looking quite displeased.
"Yes! He has been placed in a big house by me now." The prince looked proud, "Didn't General Xun meet him? I heard that you competed with him in arm strength a few days ago, and the two of you didn't. Up and down."
"Exactly, this person is indeed not simple. His body is thin, but he can lift a huge cauldron."
"What? General Xun, just say whatever you want!"
"In my opinion, there is something fishy about this Lu Zuo, but I can't tell what's wrong! I always felt that there was something strange about what happened in Kuji Temple that day!" Xun Mou was obviously a little confused.
Prince Liu Yan didn't take it seriously. In the past few days, he had been in contact with Lu Zuo and Xun Mou one after another. Overall, he felt that the two of them were really capable of assisting the world. Lu Zuo was thoughtful, smart and calm, making you unable to guess where he was. What do you think? When we get along, we always feel close and far away. Xun Mou's personality is somewhat opposite. He is as intelligent as Lu Zuo, but Xun Mou is straightforward. Once he is honest with you, he will not be secretive. This is the biggest difference between him and Lu Zuo. The prince chuckled and said: "General Xun must be paranoid! This world is so big and there are so many strange people and strange things. I guess this Mr. Lu must be born with supernatural powers!"
Xun Yu was open-minded and said to the prince: "The prince is indeed very open-minded. He doesn't doubt people and doesn't doubt those he employs."
"I'm here today. I actually have one more thing to ask you!"
Xun Yu looked at the sincere expression on the prince's face and felt a little frightened. "Your Highness, it's okay. The father and son of the humble minister will do their best."
"Your Highness is doing this for King Wei!" Xun Mou had already seen through Liu Yan's intentions and said casually.
"Exactly! General Xun is as amazing as Mr. Lu. You have seen through my words before I even said them out." Prince Liu Yan was a little in disbelief.
Xun Mou replied: "It's not difficult to guess. During the morning session today, the emperor just issued this order, and many officials must have been speculating. I'm sure there must be many people going to the Wei Palace to pay homage today."
"Who says it's not the case! One King Ning is enough to annoy me, and now here comes King Wei. I really don't know what my father is thinking? Since I have been appointed as the crown prince, I don't want to give all my rights to him. Leave it to me." The prince looked at Xun Mou with annoyance, hoping that he could give him an idea, "General Xun, I am really under attack from both sides now!"
"Your Highness is under attack from both sides, and so are King Ning and King Wei! What does His Highness's guest Lu Zuo say?" Xun Mou obviously first wanted to know Lu Zuo's opinion on the matter.
When Prince Liu Yan heard Xun Mou ask about this, he shook his head with a puzzled look on his face, "Is it still weird for me now? When I asked him this question, he didn't say anything and just wrote on the palm of my hand. Two words. What do you guess it is?"
Xun Mou and his father looked at each other suspiciously, then looked at the prince curiously.
The prince then replied: "Mr. Lu only wrote the word 'Xunmou' on the palm of my hand and said nothing else! Look, I've just rushed to your house to visit you two!"
After the prince said this, he suddenly realized, "Oh! So that's what it means. It seems that this Lu Zuo is indeed a god! You see, I have the support of the two of you when I come to the Xun Mansion. Mr. Lu has already figured it out. Understand."
After Xun Mou heard this, he felt somewhat dissatisfied. After all, others had always been his pawns. When the prince said this, he felt as if he had been plotted by Lu Zuo.
The prince could see Xun Mou's uneasiness from his expression and quickly explained: "I think it was Mr. Lu who asked me to ask General Xun for help. General Xun, what do we think we should do next?"
"Then it depends on whether His Highness the Crown Prince wants to retaliate or eradicate the root cause?" Xun Mou's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Prince Liu Yan just said lightly: "Of course it is to eradicate the root cause. I will never let him be the examiner of regular subjects. It seems that General Xun has some clever plan?"
Xun Mou smiled and shook his head.
"What? General Xun can't do anything?"
"No! I mean to let King Wei continue to serve as his chief examiner. As soon as this regular subject is over, King Wei's future will also be over." Xun Mou said, taking a sip of tea.
"Oh?" the prince asked impatiently, "General Xun, tell me, what should I do?"
"How to do it?" Xun Mou smiled strangely and confidently, "Then it depends on whether His Highness is willing to bear the pain and give up my love!"
The prince gritted his teeth, showed a fierce look on his face, and breathed out from the back of his nostrils, "As long as I can bring down King Wei and King Ning, I will do anything!"
"Your Highness, we'd better have lunch together and it's not too late to discuss this matter again." Xun Yu reminded.
"Haha!" The prince said with a cheerful smile, "That's so annoying!"
Xun Yu then summoned Butler Wang several times and told him to quickly serve food to entertain His Royal Highness. After lunch, the prince and the Xun family talked for several hours. Seeing that it was already dusk and feeling that the sky was getting colder, they stood up to leave. Before the prince left, Xun Mou whispered to the prince to act according to plan and not to act too hastily.
After Prince Liu Yan left, Xun Yu and his son met in the study again to discuss. Xun Yu was still uneasy about the prince's sincerity and couldn't help but ask: "Mou'er, do you think the prince is reliable?"
"Whether it is reliable or not depends now on what we do! If we do well, the prince will naturally be reliable. At least the prince's power in the government cannot be underestimated."
"But the King of Wei has the support of the Queen Mother. I'm afraid it won't be that simple, right? If the wife is compensated and the army is defeated, then the gain will outweigh the loss!" Xun Yu was still worried.
"How can we achieve hegemony if we don't have the courage to risk everything! We are timid and can only wait for others to deal with us!" Xun Mou smiled calmly, "And when you surrender to the prince, you must first give him a greeting gift, right?"
Xun Yu nodded. He believed that his son had already taken this step and could only make this plan. In fact, Prince Liu Yan still has a good chance of winning even without the Xun family's participation, not to mention the fact that he and his son Xun Mou are now assisting him.
"What you said makes sense, but I'm particularly worried about one person!"
"You're talking about Lu Zuo from Shanzhou, right?" Xun Mou saw his father's hesitation.
Xun Yu nodded, "After I heard you talk about what happened to Kuji Temple a few days ago, I always feel that this person's background is a bit strange. How come Xu Li, my old friend, Zen Master, suddenly has such a disciple? And you and I don't Knowing this person, how could Chen Tuizhi, the leader of the thieves back then, be so familiar with you like a treasure? He knew that there was a person in the world but he still kept it secret."
After hearing this, Xun Mou held his left hand with his right hand, touched his chin with his left hand, frowned and thought for a moment, "And the master Ku Ku Taoist who had not appeared for many years also appeared. The most important thing was that he said a strange prophecy, 'Xun Mou, Lu Zuo, the world Available'."
