Chen Tuizhi blinked his eyes, hesitated, and said after a long time: "Senior Brother, you are still so powerful, I have been poked by you."
Lu Zuo gently turned the sword in his hand, and when he saw his face inside the sword, he smiled strangely and murmured: "This... is just the beginning!"
Yin Ji also asked Chen Tuizhi, "Uncle Second Master, do you think the Holy One praised Prince Ning?"
"Yes, for this birthday celebration, the gifts given by Prince Ning and Prince Ning are almost the same, but it seems that the gift we prepared for Prince Ning is more pleasing."
Yin Ji also clapped happily, "Master is really powerful, just such a gift can help Prince Ning regain the upper hand!"
Chen Tuizhi smiled and said: "Little Tao Qian, you are quite smart. It seems that you are not in vain by your master's side!"
Lu Zuo smiled slightly, holding the sword blade with his left hand and the hilt with his right hand. He held the sword flat to his right eye, then closed his left eye and carefully looked at whether the sword blade was flat. Then he snorted and smiled coldly, "This Make the Zhanlu Sword's blade smooth and sharp. It is indeed a good sword. If it is not used to kill people, then it is just a piece of scrap metal!"
"Elder brother, what do you think will happen to the prince next?" Chen Tuizhi asked.
Lu Zuo threw the sword to Yin Ji to catch it, turned around, sat back on the futon in front of the piano case, lit a stick of sandalwood in front of the case, and said, "What would you do if you were the prince?"
Chen Tuizhi stood aside and thought: "If it were me, I would be surprised! In the past, the gifts given by King Ning were gold and silver treasures. How could he be so original this year?"
"Then what?"
"Then..." Chen Tuizhi lowered his head and thought, "Then let people ask if Prince Ning has any advice from someone behind the scenes!"
Lu Zuo smiled and said, "Smart! I didn't expect that a reckless person like you would know so much!"
Yin Ji asked curiously: "Master, will they find us?"
Lu Zuo's eyes were cold, looking at the rising smoke of sandalwood, and said calmly: "It will be a matter of time before our true identities are known. But before we are discovered, I must meet the emperor first!"
Chen Tuizhi and Yin Ji asked in unison: "Why?"
The corner of Lu Zuo's mouth was slightly raised, with a sense of confidence on his face. He stretched out his right thumb and gently plucked the strings. The sound of the strings seemed to startle Chen Tuizhi and Yin Ji, and they were startled at the same time. , Lu Zuo continued: "Do you still want to make the same mistake again? Only by letting the emperor know my existence can I not be easily bullied like before. Relying on King Wei, since it is unreliable, do you think you can live in peace with King Ning? ? Whoever has the highest power is truly reliable!"
Chen Tuizhi looked at Lu Zuo with piercing eyes and asked doubtfully: "What? Do you want us to be the emperor's lackeys? Don't we want to..."
Lu Zuo raised his head and stared coldly at Chen Tuizhi. Chen Tuizhi swallowed his words. Lu Zuo then focused on the sandalwood incense. The sandalwood incense curled up. The fragrance was refreshing. Lu Zuo smiled slightly. He blew the wisp of green smoke gently and watched the green smoke disperse and then gather again. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Look at this green smoke. When the wind blows, it scatters everywhere. When the wind stops, it floats again." Gather together again and rise slowly. If we retreat, what do you think we look like?"
Chen Tuizhi and Yin Ji looked at each other in confusion, looking at Lu Zuo with puzzled expressions, and then shook their heads together to express that they did not understand.
Lu Zuo laughed, "We are like this wisp of smoke now, and the emperor is just a gust of wind. No matter how he blows, as long as our fire is not extinguished, one day we will reunite and rise again, and he is A gust of wind will always stop one day."
When Lu Zuo spoke to the end, his eyes were steely and his tone was unquestionable. Chen Tuizhi also understood what Senior Brother meant, "Yes! I understand. Senior Brother, you are saying that we have to be patient for now, right?"
Lu Zuo smiled and said, "You're not stupid, so you don't need me to tell you."
Yin Ji suddenly asked with flashing eyes: "But will the emperor see us?"
"Of course!" Lu Zuo said without hesitation.
"Why? Master, are you so sure?"
"That depends on Prince Ning's sincerity! He must be eager to recommend me now." Lu Zuo plucked the strings again, "By the way, did the man in black find out who he was that night?"
Chen Tuizhi lowered his head, "No!"
"Well! This is embarrassing for you, but you know who it is without checking?"
Yin Ji showed a smart smile, "Master, I know, he must be the prince's man, right?"
"Yeah! I just didn't expect them to notice us so quickly. Fortunately, we didn't show any signs of weakness!" Lu Zuo nodded, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Back off, junior brother and junior sister will send them away. No!"
Chen Tuizhi nodded and said, "We have sent someone away!"
"You sent a few people there, but something went wrong on the way and they escaped again!"
"Don't worry, senior brother. I've sent four people to escort me this time. They are all the best in martial arts in our village and have the best brains. And I've also sent two to follow you secretly. Once we escort back to Fengji Mountain, , I will report back to Beijing immediately." Chen Tuizhi said with confidence, and also wanted to show off his ability in front of his senior brother.
"Yeah! Very good!" Lu Zuo nodded slightly, "Your ability to do things now is getting smarter and more capable than before. Uncle Lu and Uncle Qin have sent you to me now, which is very timely! But you are the most You rarely show your face outside, you know?"
"I understand! I usually remove the tattoos on my face when I go out. Please don't worry, senior brother!"
"This is not enough. From now on, it will also be posted in the house. Remember?"
Chen Tuizhi nodded in agreement, and then Lu Zuo began to play the piano again before going to have dinner.
The night was getting deeper, and Prince Liu Yan did not return to his residence until Xu. After changing into court clothes, the housekeeper came to report that Xu Bingde and Xun Yu were already waiting in the study.
After Liu Yan came to the study, Xu Bingde, Xun Yu and his son quickly stood up and saluted. Liu Yan waved impatiently, "There's no need to be too polite! Everyone, please sit down!"
After everyone was seated as guests and hosts, the servants went into the room and offered the dishes, and then went out and closed the door.
Liu Yan took a sip of tea, sighed, and stood up again, pacing back and forth in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.
Seeing this, Xun Mou also knew what was on his mind, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so restless. The results of today's gift can be said to be evenly divided. Didn't His Majesty give you the same reward? Moreover, Your Highness's gift was also awarded the title of Wei Zhenhou. This It’s also a good story! Why is Your Highness so pessimistic?”
Liu Yan still sighed, spread his hands, looked at Xun Mou angrily and helplessly, frowned and said: "General Xun, you don't know something!" After saying that, Liu Yan turned his head and sighed again!
