Lu Zuo lowered his head and was silent. In fact, he knew very well that once he got involved in this court dispute, there would be no turning back. Compared with the Crown Prince, King Wei, and King Ning, they were more powerful, but he was like an ant. Either he will be promoted to a higher position and avenged, or he will repeat the same mistakes and die unjustly.
Although Yin Ji didn't understand what he was hearing, when he heard his old friend Zen Master saying that Master was about to be in trouble, he quickly asked: "Is there danger? What should I do? Master, aren't you omnipotent? You must help me, Master!"
After Yin Ji finished speaking, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, asking his old Zen master to find a solution. In the short period of one month that Yin Ji spent with his master, he knew that his master was extremely intelligent and rare in the world, and his martial arts skills were the best among all the others. If even my master can't do anything about it, then who else can save him? Then there should be only the master’s master—this mysterious and profound old man in front of me!
Yin Ji kowtowed as if pounding garlic, and was already crying bitterly.
At this time, even Gao Yun seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter and knelt down, "Master, you should also think of a solution! Brother Lu is your apprentice, and I am also his sworn brother. If he is gone, I will I don’t want to live anymore.”
Although Gao Yun spoke rudely, he was extremely sincere when he spoke. Seeing how exaggerated they were, Lu Zuo quickly helped Gao Jun and Yin Ji up.
After a moment, Zen Master Guzhi slowly replied: "What can I do? I believe that Gongfu has this ability, so he should walk this road by himself!"
Lu Zuo nodded in understanding and didn't ask another word.
Zen Master Guzhi continued: "Gongfu! But my master has something to tell you. You must survive these two months. As long as you can survive these two months, you can..."
Therefore, when the Zen master said this, he didn't say anything more. Lu Zuo nodded very wisely to indicate that he understood.
The night was dark, and it was still much colder at night than during the day. Under the corridor of the Prince's Mansion, there were two men wearing black and green cloaks, hurriedly rushing to the study of the Prince's Mansion. The person walking in front was Xun Yu, and the person following behind was his son Xun Mou. Today was the day they agreed to discuss countermeasures.
There was another person sitting in the study of Prince Liu Yan, and that was the prince's father-in-law, Xu Bingde, Minister of War.
The four of them chatted and sat down, and the prince asked Xun Yu straight to the point: "How are things going?"
Xun Yu replied confidently: "Everything is fine!"
The prince nodded with satisfaction, "Yes! I believe that with Duke Wei's power in the court, there should be no problem with this!" The prince then continued to ask curiously: "What about Lu Zuo?"
Xun Yu nodded, his eyes full of admiration, "This person is indeed a rare talent. His papers are really well written and he doesn't require too much work from us. The first place is indeed worthy of his name!"
"Well! That's good, how many more are there?" the prince asked eagerly.
Xun Yu said proudly: "It's no problem, the Ministry of Rites has our informants, and we use special marks on the transcribed papers, so they can't be wrong."
The prince couldn't help but slapped the table, "Very good! This time, I will let my uncle Jiuwang taste what this bitter fruit tastes like!"
Xun Mou frowned and said, "It's just... the Queen Mother may intervene when the time comes!"
"What should we do?" The three princes asked at the same time.
Xun Mou thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, you will have to come forward to persuade His Majesty to show mercy when the time comes!"
Prince Liu Yan was very puzzled. He opened his eyes wide and suppressed his excitement, "Don't even think about it! Liu Xu must die."
"Your Highness!" Xun Mou continued calmly, "If you want to continue to gain the emperor's favor, instead of waiting for this good man to wait for the Queen Mother, it is better for you to be a good person before this happens. You can also leave a good legacy to the emperor. impression."
The prince then lowered his head and thought as if he had some enlightenment. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Isn't there a way to get rid of the weeds?"
Xu Bingde also interjected: "General Xun is right. At the moment, we are trying to find a way to make King Wei fall out of favor. We will discuss the rest later in the long term. Besides, the current situation is just our guess. In case of this action..."
"There is no such thing as a chance!" The prince quickly interrupted Xu Bingde, "We must succeed this time. General Xun will have to rely on you and his son this time!"
Xun Yu replied confidently: "Your Highness, please put it down, it will be absolutely safe!"
The prince nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Xu Bingde thoughtfully: "By the way! How are you doing at Prince Ning's Mansion recently? Is there anything going on?"
Xu Bingde also said strangely: "There is nothing abnormal! Ever since there was an extra King of Wei, King Ning seems to have disappeared from everyone's sight. I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd?"
"That's good! It's important to get rid of King Wei first now. Killing King Ning won't happen overnight. As long as we can hold him down firmly and don't let him get ahead."
Xun Yu and his son also nodded to show that they made sense.
Xu Bingde then asked curiously: "Your Highness, what about Lu Zuo? Are you sure you want to get rid of him too?"
The prince glanced at Xun Mou's livid face, then sneered contemptuously: "He is not qualified to be our target. Our target is King Wei, and Lu Zuo is just a tool."
"It's a pity that Lu Zuo is indeed a talent. Regardless of talent or martial arts, he can be regarded as a dragon or a phoenix among men!" Xu Bingde still cherishes Lu Zuo's talent. If Lu Zuo can be used by the prince, then why not? But he also knew that the reason why the prince wanted to get rid of Lu Zuo was because of the face of Xun Yu and his son.
The prince waved his hand to signal Xu Bingde to stop talking, "Father-in-law, there is no need to say so much. Isn't he just a commoner? Even Lu Zuo, who has killed all the people in the world, cannot compare to Xun Mou of this palace."
Xun Mou quickly knelt on the ground with a bang, kowtowed and thanked him profusely.
Xu Bingde looked at the prince's proud expression and couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Did the prince's words just now, "Even if he kills all Lu Zuo in the world," include sacrificing someone like himself? Thinking of this, Xu Bingde's face was as dark as water, he lowered his head and said nothing, and did not ask any more questions.
The prince hurriedly helped Xun Mou up, "General Xun, how polite you are! The loyalty of your father and son to this palace can be learned from the sun and the moon!"
After the prince helped Xun Mou up, he sat down again, and then asked: "But I have heard about something. I wonder if General Xun and Duke Wei know about it?"
Xun Yu said: "Your Highness, it's okay to say it. My father and son will definitely know and say everything."
"Okay! Then I won't be secretive anymore." The prince chuckled, "I heard that Lu Zuo has a book on "Ghost Valley Zongheng Lun", do you two know about this? "
Prince Liu Yan and Xu Bingde both looked at Xun Mou with expectation and curiosity, waiting for his answer.
Xun Yu and his son looked at each other in confusion, and didn't know how to answer. It's not true to say yes, and it's not true to say no. If they tell the truth that they don't know, but Xun Mou and Lu Zuo are from the Guigu family, I'm afraid it will make the prince think that he is just faking it. It's so profound that it even feels like it contains evil intentions.
