Yin Ji interrupted angrily: "That's good. Next time I go there, I have to give that guy a look..."
"Qian'er..." Lu Zuo squinted and shouted sternly.
Liu Xun waved his hand kindly, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! If your apprentice is unhappy with him next time, I won't use him!"
"My lord, don't take children's jokes seriously!" Lu Zuo said with a smile, "My lord, please continue to tell me, what's going on in this restaurant?"
"In order to cover up people's eyes, I had someone buy the restaurant. There is a secret passage in the woodshed of the restaurant, which leads directly to the woodshed of my palace. Only a few of my confidants will know about this secret passage. Today, Japan Wang Te came to inform you."
Seeing his sincere expression, Lu Zuo knew that Prince Ning was willing to tell him the matter, which meant that he completely trusted him, so he cupped his hands and said, "The prince is interested. This way, it will be easier to communicate with him in the future."
At this time, Liu Xun took out a jade sign from his sleeve, holding a tassel in his hand, "This is the jade sign you will use when you go to the Xinghua Restaurant in the future. Just take this jade sign and go to the counter to find the cashier, and he will take you there." Let’s go to the secret passage in the woodshed. I guess Tao Qian already knows who the accountant is. His name is Dai Heng, and he is also a confidant who has been with me for many years, and he once served as a member of the Yulin Guard."
Lu Zuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect Prince Ning to be so thoughtful. Even the accountant was carefully arranged. Lu Zuo asked calmly: "So the guys inside are also the prince's confidants, right?"
Liu Xun nodded, "Exactly! But apart from that, the others are all idle people hired from outside, so you still need to be careful."
After that, Liu Xun handed the jade plaque in his hand to Lu Zuo. When he looked at it carefully, he saw the four characters "Anguo Ningjia" on the front and the four characters "Fu Shou Kang Ning" on the reverse. The jade plaque was crystal clear and the carving was exquisite. fine. After Lu Zuo looked at it, he held it in his arms.
After Liu Xun and Lu Zuo exchanged a few words, they stood up to say goodbye. Lu Zuo and Yin Ji saw Prince Ning to the door before giving up. Watching Prince Ning's carriage go away, Lu Zuo couldn't help but take a deep breath, and there seemed to be a rare expression on his face. A look of sadness appeared.
Yin Ji also seemed to realize that something was wrong with his master, "Master, what's wrong? It's rare to see you with such an expression?"
Lu Zuo squinted his eyes, looked at the bustling street, and said meaningfully: "We have to be more careful on the road we are going to take next!"
Yin Ji looked at the master with confusion, "Why? Can't we start over now?"
Lu Zuo shook his head disapprovingly, "The trouble we are going to encounter will be even more severe!"
"Isn't it true that Prince Ning is our backer?"
Lu Zuo smiled contemptuously, "Isn't it rare that you lose your car to save your handsome man?"
Yin Ji became even more confused after hearing this, "Master, haven't you already chosen to assist Prince Ning?"
The corners of Lu Zuo's eyes showed a long-lost cunning, and the strange curve of the corners of his mouth made Yin Ji shudder. Then he patted Yin Ji's shoulder gently and said: "Sniper Rabbit Sanku, what I want to do for my master is revenge, not repayment of gratitude!"
After speaking, Lu Zuo turned around and went back to his house and said, "Go back! Let's continue playing the piano! There may be distinguished guests coming in the next two days!"
Yin Ji looked at his master's retreating back, scratched his head, and murmured: "Dignified guest? Prince Ning? Uncle Ping Yuan? Er... or Xun Mou?"
At this time, the gatekeeper rushed up to Yin Ji with a smile, "Master, do you have any instructions?"
"Uncle Pan, my master said that there will be distinguished guests in the next two days! Keep a close watch and notify me immediately when the distinguished guests arrive. Do you understand?" Yin Ji asked.
Menzi Lao Pan nodded repeatedly, "No problem, I will tell you first."
On a summer night, the courtyard of Tao Mansion was very cool, and the gentle night wind rustled among the locust trees. In the main room, Yin Ji and Lu Zuo were playing chess. Yin Ji kept shouting to cheat, and Lu Zuo always let him go, but Yin Ji was still no match for the master's sophistication.
After the two played two games of chess, they walked quickly outside the courtyard. Then they knocked on the door and greeted: "Master, Master! There is a man named Gao Jun outside who wants to see you. He has to force his way in, so we stopped him. Do you want to see him? Let him in?"
Hearing the voice, it turned out to be Lao Pan, the gatekeeper. After hearing this, Yin Ji and Master looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, they remembered what Master said, so they asked, "Master, is this the distinguished guest you mentioned?"
Lu Zuo shook his head and said with a smile: "No, Gao Yun is not a guest. Listen to what Lao Pan said, he is clearly the host! Haha..."
At this time, Lao Pan urged again: "Master, what do you think?"
Lu Zuo chuckled, "Bring him in!"
After a while, there was another sound of footsteps outside the yard of the main house. It was clearly Gao Yun cursing something, while Lao Pan was nagging Gao Yun. Yin Ji smiled and said: "Second Brother Gao is here!"
Yin Ji got up and walked to the door and was about to open the door. Suddenly there was a "bang" and the door was pushed open by Gao Yun. Lao Pan was still nagging impatiently: "You young man, what if?" The door is also broken, but what should I do..."
Gao Yun ignored Lao Pan and seemed to be dumbfounded when he saw his brother. He fell to his knees with a "pop". The housekeeper was stunned. It seemed that he was an old acquaintance. Lu Zuo waved to Lao Pan and told him to go down first. After the door closed, Lu Zuo helped Gao Jun up and said, "My dear brother, you are welcome."
Gao Yun stood up and looked at Lu Zuo up and down with wide eyes by the candlelight, "This... this change is really huge! Brother, I didn't believe it when I heard what Zen Master Guzhi told me, but I didn't expect that he really changed his appearance. That Mr. Shuiyue is really awesome!"
"Yes! What have you been busy with these days? I haven't seen you for several days, and you just showed up now!" Lu Zuo said.
Gao Jun sighed, "I also want to visit you these days, but there are too many things going on. It will be the Holy Emperor's birthday in a few days. Envoys from all over the world are in Kyoto these days. I am responsible for patrolling the imperial city, so I Recently, we have been setting up defenses all over the capital day and night, so I don't dare to make any mistakes! Today's arrangements are almost complete, so I went to Kuji Temple to find you. Master said you were here, so he hurried over to find you."
Lu Zuo seemed to be lowering his head in thought. He didn't react until Gao Yun called him twice, so he asked Gao Yun again, "So, has the capital been peaceful recently? Is there anyone suspicious?"
"Suspicious person?" Gao Yun was confused, "Brother, which one are you referring to?"
"No...no!" Lu Zuofu lowered his head again, and then said nonchalantly, "Sit down first!"
After the three of them sat down in the room, Gao Yun began to talk about what he had seen and heard in the past few days. Yin Ji was surprised when he heard this, while Lu Zuo kept frowning in thought.
Gao Jun seemed to have seen the clues, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Ever since I came in, I've seen you looking like you were out of your mind. Did something happen?"
Lu Zuo has always kept his emotions and anger hidden, and the reason why he let Gao Yun see the worry on his face is just to make use of the topic, so he smiled and said: "To be honest, brother Yu really needs help from brother Xian for something right now! "
