Zhou Zhong saw Xun Mou looking anxious like he had never seen before, and felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart. It seemed that this Lu Zuo and his master Xu Li were simply a virtue, mysterious and mysterious every day, always making people feel unpredictable, and Compared with Lu Zuo, it is even worse! Zhou Zhongwang sat down while thinking, and said: "Get up! The matter has come to this. You have come to see me as my teacher. Do you have any good ideas?"
Xun Mouwei stood up with his head lowered, and then he hesitated to speak. For fear of being refuted by his master, he hesitated for a long time and did not dare to speak out. , "Disciple, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
"Tell me! What else can you and my master and disciple have to hide?"
"Disciple wants to..." Xun Mou cleared his throat, "Disciple wants to master, you can come forward and lead the battle again!"
Zhou Zhongwang frowned, noncommittal, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Do you want to recommend yourself to the teacher again?"
Xun Mou lowered his head again, "It should be said that I want you, Master, to turn the tide!"
"Hmph..." Zhou Zhongwang sneered and shook his head, "I'm afraid I will be rejected as a teacher again!"
"If Master doesn't take this opportunity to find prestige in the army, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Holy One to reuse you again!"
"It's long past time for me to retire from the world and not be concerned about the affairs of the court. These so-called fame and fortune are nothing to me!"
Seeing the sincerity of what his master said, Xun Mou knew in his heart that he had been rejected when he asked the emperor to take the initiative last time, so he was so passive. He asked, "Did master give up just because of the emperor's rejection?"
Zhou Zhongwang lowered his head and frowned in thought.
Xun Mou continued: "If master doesn't come out again, the only one who the emperor won't believe is me. This time my apprentice came back after a defeat, and everyone in the court looked down upon him!" Xun Mou said. As he spoke, he began to choke, "Master, please have mercy on me!"
After Zhou Zhongwang heard this, he raised his head and looked at Xun Mou with a stern look. He was already in his twilight years and had been on the battlefield for decades. Now fame and fortune did not have the same temptation for him as before, but only Xun Mou, his disciple who he had painstakingly cultivated, must It’s all about helping him become famous, not to mention that his opponent is his senior brother’s apprentice, so he gritted his teeth in his heart, “Then I will rely on my old man to help you one more time. In this expedition, I must take command!”
Xun Moufu cried bitterly and knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! Master's kindness in reincarnation will never be forgotten by my disciple!"
"Okay, okay! Get up! There is gold under the man's knees. What are you talking about when you keep kneeling back and forth!"
When Xun Mou stood up again, there was a smile on his face again, "This time, Master takes the initiative to ask for help again. Your Majesty will definitely give you face."
"Master, I understand! You should still follow me when the time comes. This is also the time for you to make meritorious deeds and win back everyone's trust."
"This matter should be settled sooner rather than later. Early tomorrow morning, I will invite Master to the palace to meet with the Holy Spirit to finalize this matter! Master, what do you think?"
Zhou Zhongwang nodded, "Yeah! That's it!" Zhou Zhongwang suddenly remembered something, "Mou'er!"
"Disciple is here!"
"I heard that you have been very close to the prince recently, is this happening?"
Xun Mou hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Master, the prince is also the crown prince of the country, and my disciple also wants to do his best for the country, right?"
"You!" Zhou Zhongwang said with a hint of blame in his tone, "I would like to advise you, it is best not to get involved in the dispute between right and wrong. We will assist whoever is the emperor and don't do those opportunistic things. Do you understand?"
"Master's lesson is this! Disciple must keep it in mind and never forget it!"
Late summer nights are a little cooler than during the day. Lu Zuo was in the courtyard, holding a feather fan and taking a leisurely stroll. Yin Ji sat on a chair and soaked her feet under the locust tree. From time to time, she heated the water in the wooden basin. While rubbing her soles, she shouted to the master: "Master, if you don't wash your feet, I'll be rude." !hey-hey……"
Lu Zuo looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said, "Wash first!"
"Master, what's wrong with you? You look worried again. Aren't we much safer now? The prince has also sent us a few more servants. Now you are also a ninth-grade Hanlin waiting for an imperial edict. What are you afraid of? ?" Yin Ji looked at his master and blinked innocently.
Lu Zuo lowered his head, bit his feather fan and walked under the locust tree. He also sat on a chair next to Yin Ji and said with a smile: "Now we are also in the light, so we have to be more careful."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the stone pavement in the yard. Lu Zuo pointed in the direction of the yard with his feather fan and said with a smile: "Needless to say, these footsteps must be from the housekeeper."
Yin Ji raised his head and saw a figure flashing out of the yard. It was indeed the housekeeper Lao Pan. Yin Ji shouted: "Uncle Pan, what are you so worried about?"
Lao Pan strode to Lu Zuo and replied: "Sir, General Gao is asking for a meeting outside!"
"He's here! Didn't I tell you that if it was General Gao who came, there was no need to report it!" Lu Zuo's tone was calm, and no blame could be heard.
Lao Pan leaned forward and said, "Remember, little one! I'll invite him in right away."
Shao Qing and Gao Jun came to the yard unhurriedly and saw Yin Ji soaking the eldest brother's feet, so they came all the way and joked: "Brother, you feel very comfortable!"
Lu Zuo raised his head and smiled at him, "There's nothing we can do about it!"
Gao Yun walked up to his eldest brother and asked with a smile: "Why do you go there every day?"
Yin Ji interjected: "Of course, the master said that soaking these medicinal materials with hot water and then soaking the feet is good for the master. The master told me to soak the master's feet every day. I don't dare to forget."
Lu Zuo looked at the slightly childish Yin Ji and couldn't help but smile. Gao Jun continued to ask his eldest brother with concern: "Has your condition recurred in the past few days?"
Yin Ji didn't wait for the master's answer, and rushed to say: "It's been much better recently. Since coming out of Kuji Temple, the master's problem has not happened again."
Lu Zuo patted Yin Ji's head gently and said with a smile: "This is all thanks to Ji'er's careful care!"
Gao Yun laughed loudly and joked about Yin Ji, "Little Yin Ji, you should also be your second-year-old brother's apprentice!"
Yin Ji made a fool of himself at Gao Yun, pouted, and said with a smile: "Just you? You can only tell me after you beat me!"
"Oh! You have a bad temper." Gao Yun was quite unhappy with his provocation, "Then let's have a try!"
Yin Ji continued to wash Master's feet while saying, "When I finish washing Master's feet, you will suffer the consequences!"
"Okay!" Lu Zuo said sternly, "My dear brother, I asked you to come because I have something important to tell you! - Ji'er, that's it, put it away. That's all for today!"
Yin Ji handed the master a towel and took the footbath away.
Gao Yun asked: "What's wrong, brother? What's the matter?"
