In the hall of Prince Ning's Mansion, Prince Ning Liu Xun was holding scissors in his hand and was proudly tending to the potted plants on the Duobao Pavilion. The smile on his lips had never faded from the moment he returned to the mansion until now. Yes! Liu Xun has not felt this way for a long time. Now it seems that he made the right decision to rescue Lu Zuo carefully. At the time, it seemed like a risky move, but now that he thinks about it, he just picked it from the prince's tiger's mouth. What a great bargain. Ever since Lu Zuo became a think tank, it seems that earth-shaking changes have taken place in just one month, and the prince still doesn't know his situation. This is a master! But? Liu Xun frowned. After a second thought, he noticed something was wrong again, but he couldn't put his finger on it, right? How did Lu Zuo do it in just one month? Who is he? Now I have to raise another question about his life experience. According to what he said, he is just a villager from a small place in Shanzhou. But from his words and deeds, his vision, and even his connections and friends, it can be said that his hands and eyes are all over the sky. , Just imagine how a mountain villager could get so many heroes to obey his orders, and how could he get to know Zen Master Guzhi, who was the minister of Guzhi back then? Moreover, he became his closed disciple. You should know that Zen Master Guzhi had already become a monk and had no interest in the secular world! You have to ask him personally to understand all of this.
Liu Xun was thinking about it when he was awakened by the footsteps outside the courtyard. He raised his head and looked at the flashing figures outside the courtyard. The smile on Liu Xun's lips hung up again. He rushed to the eaves of the corridor and bowed deeply to Lu Zuo. Extremely polite.
Lu Zuo also quickly bowed deeply in return, "Your Majesty, this is a shame! How dare I accept such a great gift!"
Liu Xun laughed, "Mr. Lu, you're welcome! This is as it should be! Come on, come on..." Liu Xun stepped forward and took Lu Zuo's hand, smiled at Yin Ji, and then signaled the butler to step back with his eyes, and then led the The two of them strode into the main room.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Yin Ji still stood behind the master without speaking. Lu Zuo raised his hand and asked politely: "I wonder if the prince has summoned me to come here. What's the important matter?"
Liu Xun smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just don't understand a few things. I want to ask Mr. Lu!"
Lu Zuo also guessed about it, but he still said politely: "My lord, you don't have to be polite. You are the master and I am the minister. If you have any questions, it's okay to ask."
"Is the person named Pang Gu invited here today, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Zuo smiled slightly and didn't want to hide too much. He estimated that Lao Pan had already told him secretly, so he nodded and said: "Exactly!"
Liu Xun was very relieved to see Lu Zuo being honest with him, so he decided to continue asking. After all, Pang Gu is such a powerful character, and everyone is curious, "Then who is he?"
"It's no different. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has extraordinary talent. His unparalleled martial arts skills did not happen overnight. It's just that he has always been hidden in the world, so few people know about him. This time he came to participate in the competition at my invitation. of."
"So this martial arts competition to select a handsome man can be said to be done by you, Mr. Lu..." Liu Xun lowered his voice as he spoke, "Did you arrange the situation yourself?"
Lu Zuo smiled and nodded.
Liu Xun gave Lu Zuo a thumbs up and praised him repeatedly, "Good, Mr. Lu, your move is really good!"
"Your Highness has oversold me. This is just one of the moves. Taking back Shanzhou and winning this battle is the most important thing." Lu Zuo said with a serious expression.
Liu Xun frowned and said, "Are you sure you can win this expedition? After all, even Xun Mou, who claimed to be invincible, was defeated in Shanzhou."
Lu Zuo nodded confidently, "Everything is under my control!"
"But..." Liu Xun was about to say something but stopped.
"My lord, just say it directly, there is no need to hide anything!"
Liu Xun smiled and said: "Is this Gao Yun reliable? I heard that his brother Gao Han is very close to the prince! What if he is the prince's..."
Lu Zuo smiled slyly, "You don't have to worry about this, Your Majesty, of course I have my own way! The most important thing for you now is not to get too close to Gao Yun!"
Liu Xun nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Then if you are not in the capital next, how should I deal with it?"
Lu Zuo lowered his head and thought: "Well... Your Majesty must not form cliques for personal gain while I am away. After the morning court and official business every day, he will go back to the mansion and stay behind closed doors. He will not argue with the Crown Prince. Can Your Majesty do it?" "
"Mr. Lu, you can rest assured, I will definitely comply with your orders!" Liu Xun said, "I wonder how long it will take to regain Shanzhou after Mr. Lu's departure?"
Lu Zuo also hesitated, how long will it take? He didn't have an exact time guarantee, but he had to do it as soon as possible, and he couldn't be delayed at the border for too long, otherwise he would probably fall into another dilemma. After a moment of silence, he said: "We can only resolve the war situation as soon as possible. It's too early to say this now! "
"Well! Then I will be waiting for the good news from Mr. Lu!" Liu Xun cupped his hands and smiled, "Mr. Lu, there is one more thing I have always wanted to ask you!"
Lu Zuo nodded slightly, "Why is the prince so polite today?"
Liu Xun laughed loudly, "It's nothing important. I just want to ask, sir, if you are from Shanzhou?"
Lu Zuo's face suddenly darkened, but just for a moment, when he realized something was wrong with him, Lu Zuo immediately pretended that nothing was wrong, but he still felt a little surprised in his heart. It seemed that Prince Ning doubted himself. It was not a good thing, so he pretended to be nonchalant and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why do you start caring about this?"
"No!" Liu Xun stared at Lu Zuo's eyes, trying to see some slight changes in his eyes, "If Mr. Lu doesn't want to say it, then forget it!"
Lu Zuo secretly laughed in his heart. Prince Ning's move was clearly to advance before retreating. If he doesn't give him an explanation today, I'm afraid Prince Ning will send people to investigate his background. So he smiled and said: "Your Majesty is serious, our family was originally from the Jiangnan area. Later, my grandfather and father died one after another, so my mother took us all the way north to join our distant relatives, and then we moved to Lujiazhuang, Shanzhou! But that period of the past was very unbearable, so our own family rarely mentioned it, let alone Someone else!"
After that, Lu Zuo looked sad, and Liu Xun didn't see anything wrong, so he felt sympathy and bowed to Lu Zuo, "I'm really sorry for making you sad! Since Mr. Lu's mother is still alive, why not invite us together? Living together in the capital? This beautiful capital has everything, and you can also be filial to your old mother, right?"
"That's what you say! But my mother is old and frail, and her hometown is far away from the capital. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the pain of the journey! Besides, she lives in Shanzhou and is used to the mountains and rivers there. Let my mother go again I'm afraid I'll be homesick after leaving my homeland to come here!" Lu Zuo laughed and said, "I wrote a letter to send my greetings to my family before. My mother herself said that she is healthy and able to take care of herself, so I will put this matter aside for the time being. "
