Yin Ji next to him stepped forward and grabbed the officer's collar, wanting to teach him a lesson, but Gao Yun grabbed him and signaled him not to be impulsive. Gao Yun also knew that these people were probably here to capture his eldest brother, so he winked at Yin Ji and asked him to go to the backyard to tell his eldest brother to escape quickly. Gao Jun, what advice do you have from the officers?"
After hearing this, the officers immediately changed their expressions. However, when they saw Yin Ji running to the backyard alone, they wanted to stop him, but because of Gao Jun's face, they had to apologize and said with a smile: "It turns out it's Xianggong Gao. , we are also doing things under orders, and we also ask Mr. Gao to inform him of Lu Zuo’s whereabouts!"
"You officials are handling cases. If you can ask me where you can, go find it yourself if you have the ability."
Just as Gao Yun said this, a loud voice came from behind the courtyard, "Are you looking for me here?"
When Gao Yun looked back, he was stunned on the spot. Yin Ji behind Lu Zuo spread his hands to Gao Yun helplessly.
The officials were like hungry dogs after seeing meat. They took out the ropes from their waists and rushed forward crazily. How could Gao Yun make these people stop? He opened his arms to block the intersection, intercepted the officials at the waist, and then with all his strength, Push all these officials out of the way. Seeing that Gao Yun was extremely powerful and that he was currently the number one martial artist, those few officials did not dare to make another mistake. He could only stand up slowly in agony and complained: "Master Zhuangyuan, we are doing things impartially. If Lu Zuo resists arrest, it will be a death penalty according to the laws of our court."
Lu Zuo said calmly at this time: "Did I say I won't leave with you?"
Several officials were stunned after hearing this. Gao Yun was also extremely anxious at this moment. He came to Lu Zuo and asked Yin Ji in an anxious voice, "Didn't I ask you to take your eldest brother away?"
Yin Ji frowned and said innocently, "Do you think I can stop Master?"
Gao Yun pulled Lu Zuo's sleeves again, and whispered in his ear: "Brother, I'll hold it for you. You go quickly."
Lu Zuo looked at a few poor officials and ignored Gao Yun's questions. He just waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say anything more. Lu Zuo then stepped forward and stood in front of the officials and said loudly, "Let's go!"
The officers looked at each other in confusion, and then, as if they had received an order, they stepped forward and tied Lu Zuo tightly with ropes.
At this time, more and more people were watching, and Yin Ji blushed with anxiety. He quickly stepped forward to stop him and hugged Lu Zuo tightly. Several officials looked at Gao Yun and did not dare to stop him too much. Yin Ji kept shouting: "Master, if you leave, what will happen to my disciple? I won't let them take you away."
"Ji'er, don't worry. Master is just going to cooperate with the investigation and will be back in a few days! Follow your second brother Gao honestly and don't get into trouble, you know?" After Lu Zuo said this, he motioned to Gao Yun to take Yin Ji to the hospital. Pull back.
Gao Yun reluctantly stepped forward and pulled Yin Ji away, trying to persuade her, but Yin Ji still held on tightly. Lu Zuo then said seriously: "Do you remember what the master told you at first? Just do what the master said, but you can't save me."
As if he had received an order, Yin Ji suddenly let go of his hand. When he raised his head, tears were already streaming down his face, but he still held back his sobs and said, "Master, you have to take care of yourself."
Lu Zuo nodded meaningfully and said, "Yes! Don't worry, I will come back safe and sound."
Gao Jun and Yin Ji just watched helplessly as the officials took Lu Zuo away. When Lu Renxiang came out of the room to see what happened outside, he had already been taken away, leaving only Gao Jun and Yin Ji. He stood there stunned.
"Gao Jun! Did something happen to my brother? Just now the store clerk said that several officials were arresting him. Is that true? Where is he now?" Lu Renxiang was already extremely anxious.
Gao Yun sighed, nodded, and then looked at Yin Ji, "Yin Ji, what did your master just say to you?"
Yin Ji thought: "Master said to go find Uncle Ping Yuan!"
"Oh! That's right!" Gao Yun clapped his hands and turned from sadness to joy, "Only Uncle Ping Yuan can save him now."
"Without further delay, let's go quickly." Lu Renxiang said excitedly.
When Lu Renxiang and the others arrived at the Earl's Mansion, it was already noon. And Anyuanshan had been waiting for Lu Zuoye at his house all morning, but he still hadn't come. When the housekeeper came to report that the current civil and military champions Lu Renxiang and Gao Jun were visiting, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart, so he quickly ordered his servants to bring them to the main room. meet.
As soon as Anyuanshan and the three of them entered the main room, Lu Renxiang led Gao Jun and Yin Ji and knelt down directly to Anyuanshan before even exchanging greetings and greetings, while begging the earl to save Lu Zuo.
"What are you doing! One of you is the number one scholar in the imperial court, one is the number one scholar in martial arts, and the other is Mr. Lu's disciple. How can I bear such a great gift? If you have something to say, sit down and say it slowly!" An Yuanshan also said He was startled, and while asking them to sit down, he asked, "Renxiang, what happened to your brother?"
"My brother was taken away by the government. The people who came didn't say why. He was just tied up and taken away." Lu Renxiang had tears in his eyes. "Sir, you have to save him!"
After the four of them sat down, Anyuanshan thought for a moment and said, "I didn't expect that the prince would also take action against Mr. Lu!"
Gao Jun interjected: "Is it because of the rebellion against King Wei? My eldest brother was not involved in this matter, so why arrest him?"
Anyuanshan shook his head and said that he didn't understand either, "Lu Zuo has no fame now and has some connections with the King of Wei. In addition, the person he offended was the prince. They wanted to punish Lu Zuo. It’s just as easy as pie.”
"What should we do?" Yin Ji and the other three asked almost in unison.
Anyuanshan frowned and thought, this matter is indeed very difficult, and now he is in such an embarrassing situation. Although he has some power in the court, Lu Zuo offended the prince. Now if he uses his own power to go Rescuing Lu Zuo would be tantamount to exposing oneself and the prince's opposition, so this is absolutely unacceptable. Should we go to Prince Ning? That's all it is now, and when I made an appointment with Lu Zuo today, it was also for this matter. But now I went to see Prince Ning and asked him for help to save Lu Zuo. I wonder if he would risk confronting the prince for this matter.
"Sir..." Lu Renxiang interrupted Anyuanshan's thoughts, "Is there any way?"
Anyuanshan raised his head and looked at the three of them, and suddenly the plan came to his mind, "Now the case of King Wei's rebellion will be handed over to the three judicial departments for trial. However, as far as I know, among the three judicial departments, in addition to Yushitai, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are all We are from Prince Ning, so as long as we ask Prince Ning to take action, we will definitely have a chance of survival."
Lu Renxiang hesitated and said, "But will Prince Ning risk offending the prince for his brother?"
"It's hard to tell now! We'll find out when we get there." An Yuanshan gritted his teeth secretly. At this point, he could only treat a dead horse as a live doctor.
It's March, and many border countries are getting ready to take action. They have been preparing their troops for a winter month, and now they can finally start searching. The Dafan Kingdom in the western border of the Han Kingdom united with the Qita Kingdom to annex Shanzhou, and the Shanzhou Jiedushi was killed. Immediately afterwards, the enemy army was besieging Lanzhou, and the border was in a hurry. When the battle report was received in Kyoto, everyone in the Han Dynasty was shocked. The Han Emperor immediately summoned the old marshal Zhou Zhongwang, as well as the Prime Minister Li Shizhi and the Minister of War Xu Bingde to meet with them to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy.
