Lu Zuo excitedly asked Mr. Shuiyue to heal the scar on his face. Mr. Shuiyue waved his hand to indicate that he didn't have to worry and would wait until tomorrow to take care of it.
In this way, Mr. Shuiyue returned to the Earl's Mansion with An Jingruo to reunite with Anyuanshan. Only Yin Ji and two monks were left in "Taohe Pavilion" to take care of Lu Zuo. Now that Lu Zuo woke up, Yin Ji was extremely happy. , never wanting to leave the bedside for a moment.
After dinner, it was a hot summer day, and the cicadas and birds were so noisy under the eaves. Yin Ji and the others couldn't stand the commotion, but Lu Zuo seemed to be listening to the sounds of nature. He thought he hadn't heard this in the world for a long time. Beautiful music. While several people were chatting with Lu Zuo, a voice came from outside the corridor: "Mr. Lu is awake, right?"
Lu Zuo motioned to Yin Ji to go out and take a look. Shao Qing and Yin Ji led the three people into the house. Lu Zuo looked sideways and saw that it was Prince Ning and his son. Lu Zuo quickly apologized and said with a smile: "The common people cannot show courtesy, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
When King Ning Liu Xun saw that Lu Zuo had really woken up, he laughed loudly, "Mr. Lu, there is no need to be cautious, I have finally woken you up!"
Lu Zuo also smiled knowingly.
Liu Xingyuan, who was behind Liu Xun, took a step forward, narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lu, do you feel better?"
"It's much better. The common people are really ashamed to let the prince and his son worry! I also heard from Ji'er and the others that it was you, the prince, who rescued the ordinary people from death row. The ordinary people are so grateful that they can't repay you!"
Liu Xun waved his hand with a strange expression, "Hey, Mr. Lu, you don't have to be polite. How can you say that there is nothing to repay? Your survival is the best reward."
Lu Zuo also knew the intention of his words, "How is the situation these days?"
"Mr. Lu has just woken up from a serious illness. Let's wait until he is better before we can discuss this." Liu Xun also wanted to ask him, but he still had to speak politely. He took the initiative to talk to Lu Zuo about this as soon as he woke up, which showed that he had the purpose of saving people. Too strong.
The corner of Lu Zuo's lips raised slightly, "I have heard Gao Yun talk about it a bit, but he has just entered the officialdom and knows very little about it. The prince should know more, so he might as well talk about it."
"Okay, since Mr. Lu wants to know more, I can just talk about it." Liu Xun stared at the two monks and Yin Ji who were bowing their heads in silence beside the bed, and signaled to Lu Zuo whether to let them out.
Lu Zuo stopped the two monks and said, "Junior brothers, you can go out first. Ji'er can take care of me here."
The two monks clasped their hands and bowed to everyone before leaving. Liu Xingzhi also smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, a lot has happened in the past few months without you..."
Before Liu Xingzhi could continue, his father Liu Xun glanced at him sideways, and then Liu Xun answered: "Xunmou was defeated on the front line. Does this Mr. Lu know?"
Lu Zuo nodded slightly, "They told me about this. I heard that the Holy Emperor has recalled him, and now An Shiqing, the eldest son of Pingyuan Bo, is appointed as the governor of Lanzhou."
"Yes." Liu Xun continued, "I don't know why the emperor is very angry about this defeat. I heard from people in the palace that the emperor often wakes up in the middle of the night and cannot sleep these days. I don't know if it is related to this. related?"
"Of course it's relevant! Originally, the emperor had high hopes for Xun Mou after the old marshal Zhou Zhongwang, but this time his wings were broken after he took command for the first time. I'm afraid the emperor will feel embarrassed. What the emperor has been thinking about these days is who will be the leader after autumn. Come and take on the role of head coach.”
Liu Xun was startled, "Oh! Mr. Lu is really smart, so who do you think he will send next?"
After Lu Zuo thought for a moment, he suddenly felt a severe pain in his head. Liu Xun seemed to notice Lu Zuo's slightly painful expression, and quickly asked: "Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Yin Ji took a bottle of potion from the bedside and smeared it on Lu Zuo's forehead a few times. Gradually, Lu Zuo felt more comfortable. After a while, he said, "'There is no general in Sichuan like Liao Hua as a pioneer!'"
Liu Xun seemed to understand what Lu Zuo meant. He was right. Xun Mou had always been the rising star that the emperor wanted to train after Zhou Zhongwang. It was probably only a matter of time before Xun Mou was trained. One day he would succeed Zhou Zhongwang. As for the handsome position, he pretended to be serious and continued to ask: "Mr. Lu, what do you mean?"
"My lord, do you know where the prince is better than you?" Lu Zuo asked calmly.
Liu Xun was half unhappy when he was asked this question, but he didn't want to get angry. Then he frowned and couldn't answer no matter what.
Liu Xingzhi said with disdain: "That Liu Yan dares to compare with my father, he is so young! Isn't Liu Yan just relying on the emperor..."
Although Liu Xun wanted to say something in his heart, he also knew that saying this in front of a person like Lu Zuo was really stupid, so he glanced back at Liu Xingzhi, and Liu Xingzhi timidly swallowed his words. Liu Xun's expression immediately changed again, as if he was trying to apologize to Lu Zuo, "Mr. Lu, please make it clear!"
Lu Zuo turned his face and looked at Liu Xun, "Prince Qiang will be available to him in the future."
Liu Xun hit his fists together and suddenly realized, and then sighed: "Who says otherwise? Having Xunmou means having an entire army in the future. Once Xunmou comes to power, no matter how we resist, we will hardly be his opponent. "Liu Xun sighed inwardly. Originally, Lu Zuo was expected to replace Xun Mou, but now that Lu Zuo has disabled hands and feet and has no fame, it is even harder to support Lu Zuo.
"Exactly!" Lu Zuofu looked up at the roof again, "So now we should be happy that Xunmou was defeated."
After hearing this, Liu Xingyuan just nodded slightly and did not answer. His younger brother Liu Xingzhi interjected: "That's right, otherwise Xun Mou would have reached the sky in one step. At least in the past two years, it will be difficult for Xun Mou to immediately take control of the military."
Liu Xun asked impatiently: "Then what should we do now?"
"Haha... Of course, we should first train the generals who we think have promising prospects as the replacement of Zhou Zhongwang in the future, or the replacement of Xun Mou!" Lu Zuo said calmly, he had already thought of the candidate.
"Oh?" Liu Xu was stunned for a moment, "But is there such a person now?"
Lu Zuo smiled slightly, "My lord, have you forgotten? There is still him!"
"Oh! That's right! There is also General Gao Jungao!" Liu Xun felt as if he had found a treasure, but suddenly thought of his brother Gao Han, and his face dropped again, "But I heard that his brother and the prince are very close. I heard that the position of General Gao was obtained by the prince for him, I wonder if it is true or not?"
Lu Zuo suddenly gasped twice, Yin Ji quickly patted Lu Zuo's chest to help him breathe, and Shao Qing slowly regained his breath. Lu Zuo laughed involuntarily, "My lord, do you think that if the prince recommended it, the emperor would be so obedient and let a young man be promoted several levels to become this extremely important general of the Jinwu Guard?"
