When Lu Zuo heard that they were staying at the inn, he became even more annoyed, "You are obviously here to cause trouble!"
"No, no, no!" Chen Tuizhi said, his beard trembling as he explained, "Eldest Brother, I was indeed sent by Master to help you! The two of them are here to cause trouble."
Lu Zuo also felt angry and funny. Seeing that he was a dignified eight-foot-tall man with a ferocious face, but so afraid of him, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, "When are you coming? I'll calculate the time for you two." Isn’t it supposed to be the day? Why did you only show up today?”
Chen Tuizhi stared with big eyes, "It's your fault. Although you are easy to find, I don't know who is coming and going in the house, so I never dare to show my face. Even when you sleep at night, there is someone beside you. Yes, so sometimes I either go back to the inn to find Lu Manxi, or I hide in the rockery, always wanting to wait for you to show up again when you are alone, but I never find the time."
Lu Zuo suddenly realized, "Oh, you're talking about him! That's my apprentice, it's okay. I will allow him to go to Gao Yun's house to play for a while today, and he may come back later, and I will introduce him to you by the way! , What’s the matter with Second Uncle Lu sending you here this time?”
"Master asked you about your plan? When autumn comes, he said he doesn't know if he can hold on!"
"What?" Lu Zuo was stunned, "You must hold on, you must wait until we recommend the next candidate!"
"But An Shiqing is really powerful. Recently, he always organizes small forces to invade Shanzhou. The cooperation between Dafan and Qita seems to be getting more and more impatient! Master asked me to ask you if there is any way to stabilize the situation. Them!" Chen Tuizhi looked slightly anxious.
Lu Zuo lowered his head and thought for a long time, "Do we have any brothers in Kyoto?"
Chen Tuizhi nodded, "Yes! I am the leader of the Green Forest Alliance of the Seven Provinces, and we also have brothers in Kyoto!"
"Okay! Find a reliable brother to send a message to Uncle Lu, saying that if the two countries are not of the same mind and Shanzhou falls before autumn, then they will get nothing. Then after autumn comes , the Han army would not be aiming to regain Shanzhou, but would choose to destroy Tibet." Lu Zuo's eyes were sharp, as if everything was under his control, "By the way, people must pass on the message."
Chen Tuizhi nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, senior brother! Then I'll send someone to hurry up now!"
"By the way, let the person who delivered the message also report to my mother that she is safe. And you should come back tonight! Bring them two back to me. You are not allowed to go anywhere until I get a letter for you. Go! Go back quickly!"
Chen Tuizhi respectfully said "yes" and went out, then climbed over the wall of the courtyard and disappeared into the dark night.
Lu Zuo waited anxiously in the house for a long time, and suddenly heard someone knocking lightly on the door. Lu Zuo stepped forward and opened the door. Sure enough, Chen Tuizhi had returned from finishing his work. However, he saw Chen Tuizhi standing at the door in a hurry. Lu Zuo asked seriously, "Where are Lu Manxi and Qin Hong?"
Chen Tuizhi pointed to the outside of the yard and replied: "The two of them are over there at the rockery and don't dare to come over!"
Lu Zuo said in a gentle tone: "Call in, I won't be angry with them!"
Chen Tuizhi turned back and ran to call again, as if he had received the command arrow. Lu Zuo straightened his clothes and sat back on the master's seat in the main room. Shao Qing, Chen Tuizhi dragged a man and a woman into the room on each side. The man was Lu Manxi. He was less than 20 years old, with a face as white as snow and a graceful demeanor. The woman was Qin Hong, but her face was slightly dark, but her facial features were clear and pretty. Seeing Lu Zuo's serious face in the hall, the two men did not dare to look at him, so Chen Tuizhi dragged him to the middle of the main hall.
The two of them kneeled on the ground with a "pop" sound, their heads lowered and their faces drooped, "Elder brother, we know we were wrong!"
When Lu Manxi and Qin Hong plucked up the courage to look up again, they found that their senior brother looked completely different from before. If Chen Tuizhi hadn't said that he was Lu Zuo, they wouldn't have believed their eyes. They couldn't help but Standing up, they all came to Lu Zuo and looked him up and down, muttering from time to time: "This... incredible, really incredible! He is much more handsome than before!"
Lu Zuo said with a sullen face, "Kneel back..."
Lu and Qin were like lost squirrels, they immediately took two steps back and knelt on the ground respectfully, "Elder brother, we are here to see you this time. If you are fine, we can go back and recover with confidence. "
Lu Zuo turned his face and ignored them. Qin Hong suddenly stood up and gathered around Lu Zuo, squeezing his shoulders and patting his back in a coquettish manner, while saying with a complacent smile: "Elder brother, please don't be angry! We are also worried about your safety. We saw that you haven't replied to your letter, so we Came over to take a look.”
Lu Zuo was also dumbfounded, "Okay, don't do this with me. What do you mean you came to see me? I think you have long wanted to come and see the colorful world of Kyoto!"
Lu Manxi smiled and said: "There is really nothing that can escape the eyes of senior brother!"
Qin Hong quickly glared at Lu Manxi and murmured in a low voice: "You are the only one who talks nonsense!"
"Manxi, get up!" Lu Zuo's tone was much more tactful, and then he said earnestly, "This Kyoto is not the wealthy land you imagined. There are reefs and dangerous shoals everywhere. Anyone who comes into contact with me will be in danger. Now that I'm sleeping with a tiger on my back, how can I care about you two? If something happens to you, how can I explain it to Uncle Lu! So after you wait for me to get the road guide in the past two days, you You two have to go, you hear me?”
Lu Manxi murmured: "Senior...Senior Brother, you are not just trying to...drive us away, so you are making alarmist remarks, are you?"
Lu Zuo slapped the table with his hand, and Lu Manxi was so frightened that she knelt down again. Then Lu Zuo said angrily: "Why don't you believe my words! You think I live in Kyoto just for fun! Look at my face now, it was scratched by the enemy one after another." After that, he held up his arms again. The sleeves exposed my wrists, "Have you seen the scars on my wrists? They were picked apart in prison. Senior brother, I used to be able to lift a thousand pounds, but now I can't even lift a knife to kill a chicken!"
Chen Tuizhi and the others were shocked when they saw it, and their faces suddenly turned pale. With tears in her eyes, Qin Hong lay on her senior brother's knees and begged him, "Senior Brother, since it's so dangerous here, let's go back to Shanzhou together, to Fengji Mountain, where we can be as carefree as we were when we were little. How nice it is to live a carefree life.”
At this moment, many past events came to Lu Zuo's mind. He recalled that what he looked forward to most at that time was to follow Uncle Lu to Fengji Mountain, and then follow him to learn Wushu, and lead his junior brothers and sisters to catch game in the mountains. , but all that is in the past, and it is impossible to go back to that time again. From the moment he set foot on the land of Kyoto, all the good things have been lost to him, and what has followed is the deliberate revenge. He knows that there must be someone to shoulder this heavy burden. Not his brother Lu Renxiang, let alone his junior brothers and sisters. This task can only be shouldered by himself.
