Gao Yun said almost hysterically: "Brother... what should we do now? What should we do?"
Lu Zuo's face was as dark as water, "It's just as I expected. Brother Xian, you don't have to worry now. I know you are worried about your brother. Don't get into trouble right now."
"How could I not be anxious!" Gao Yun said angrily, "If it weren't for me, my brother wouldn't have become a duplicitous person. This brother of mine owes him so much..."
While Lu Zuo listened, he felt a little guilty in his heart. He couldn't escape the involvement of Gao Yun brother in this outcome. If it weren't for him, Gao Yun wouldn't have gone through this muddy water. When he thought about it again, he thought of his brother Lu Renxiang. , all kinds of melancholy arose in my heart. Lu Zuo calmed down and knew that now was not the time to think about these things, so he interrupted Gao Yun and asked directly: "Where is your brother now?"
"at home."
"That's good. He doesn't want to go anywhere now, let alone the Prince's Mansion."
"Why?"
"Now the prince must be thinking of ways to get rid of Brother Gao. Going to the prince's mansion again is tantamount to humiliating himself."
"Then...will they..." Gao Yun didn't dare to think about it anymore, "will they send assassins to assassinate him?"
Lu Zuo nodded, then lowered his head and thought about it, then shook his head and said: "Probably not. Now that they know your position, they must want to get rid of you even more!"
"Me?" Gao Yun was dumbfounded, "Why is it me?"
Lu Zuo explained: "Think about it, the prince and the others always thought that you and your brother were theirs, so they supported you to become the head coach. Now they know that you are not the prince's people, and you hold such important information." They must be very anxious about military power. At this moment, they want to get rid of you more than getting rid of Brother Gao!"
After hearing this, Gao Yun was not surprised but somewhat relieved. He patted his chest and said, "That's good. If they have any ability, they will come at me. I'm not afraid of birds like them."
Lu Zuo smiled coldly, "You are the emperor's favorite. If I want to get rid of you, it will take a lot of effort!"
Gao Yun didn't know why and asked: "What do you mean?"
Lu Zuo sighed deeply, "They may start with your brother first, so that the emperor will lose trust in both of you brothers."
After hearing this, Gao Jun stood up and cursed: "Mother, then I will guard my brother's house day and night to see if they dare to take action."
"It's useless! They can't be so stupid!" Lu Zuo frowned and thought deeply, "They will definitely find a way to frame the crime and then get rid of the thorn in their side."
"If you are upright, you are not afraid of a slanting shadow. If you are afraid of what he will do, let them find charges!"
"Does Brother Ling really have nothing to do?" Lu Zuo asked.
"This..." Gao Jun lowered his head and was speechless for a moment. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He also knew that his brother had been secretly enriching his own pocket since he entered the officialdom, and would often give the prince something to show his filial piety. If the other party really If you want to harm your brother, it shouldn't be difficult to find a crime. Gao Yun then told Lu Zuo all the things he was worried about. After hearing this, Lu Zuo shook his head repeatedly. After a long silence, he asked Gao Yun to go home first so that he would not be too anxious and would take a look first before talking.
Gao Yun had just left, leaving Lu Zuo alone in the study in a daze. He gradually realized that something seemed to have gone wrong.
"Master..." There was a clear knock on the door.
Lu Zuo looked up and saw that it was Yin Ji. He nodded slightly and motioned for him to come into the study. Yin Ji stepped into the house with a sullen face, then pushed the door shut, and the room instantly became warmer. Lu Zuo lowered his head and thought, not paying attention to Yin Ji's face at all. Yin Ji walked behind the master, buried his head, kept crossing his hands and rubbing them, looking worried. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "Master..."
Lu Zuo was deep in thought and didn't hear Yin Ji's words. It took a long time for Lu Zuo to feel that something was wrong, so he turned around and called Yin Ji softly and asked, "Seeing that you are worried, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Yin Ji turned his head noncommittally, avoiding his master's eyes. Only then did Lu Zuo sense that his apprentice had a problem, so he stood up, patted Yin Ji on the shoulder and said, "Just tell me if you have anything to do!"
"Disciple...something's wrong..." Yin Ji mumbled, his face already flushed, his expression sad, and he sighed softly from time to time.
Lu Zuo was a little confused. His apprentice had always been optimistic and cheerful. He had never seen such a sad look. Could something really happen? So he asked seriously: "What happened?"
Yin Ji suddenly hugged his master and burst into tears. Lu Zuo saw that Yin Ji's crying was getting louder and louder. He didn't know why, but asking him at this time was of no use, so he could only pat him gently. Behind his back, he didn't say anything. He could only hear Yin Ji's crying from loud crying to sobbing. After the crying gradually subsided, Lu Zuocai asked softly: "Ji'er, what's going on?"
Yin Ji choked up, adjusted his breathing, and said: "The old marshal is dead...dead..."
After hearing this, Lu Zuo was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Are you talking about Marshal Zhou?" When Lu Zuo felt Yin Ji nodding, he quickly let go of Yin Ji's hand, and then looked at him questioningly. He, how could he be so sad because of the death of Marshal Zhou?
Yin Ji was so frightened by the master's gaze that he couldn't help but dodge his eyes.
The two were silent for a long time. Lu Zuo finally saw something fishy in Yin Ji's evasive eyes, so he asked again to confirm, "Ji'er, are you talking about Marshal Zhou?"
Yin Ji nodded heavily, sadness evident in his expression. Lu Zuo suddenly thought of some recent events and couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"
"Actually..." Yin Ji lowered his head and didn't know where to start.
Lu Zuo did not interrupt his conversation. Seeing that he was silent, he turned back and slowly sat back on the chair, waiting for Yin Ji to speak.
Yin Ji lowered his head and stood behind Lu Zuo. Seeing that the master seemed to be sighing softly, but not continuing to ask questions, a feeling of guilt appeared in his heart. After mumbling for a long time, he finally said: "Actually, I am Marshal Zhou's..." At this point, Yin Ji choked up, then buried his head deeply and lowered his voice and said, "Eyeliner!"
The atmosphere in the room condensed instantly, and the only sounds that could be heard were the breathing of the two of them, and the howling cold wind outside. After a moment of silence, Yin Ji saw his master staring at his eyes without saying a word. He knew that this day would come to him sooner or later. He imagined how he would one day apologize to his master. When he told his master the truth of the matter, his master Maybe it would roar like the cold wind outside the house, but he never expected that the master would be as silent as the lamp on the case.
Yin Ji watched his master's back swaying in the candlelight, as if he looked very much like the late Marshal Zhou at that moment. Suddenly, he saw his master's body trembling slightly, and his cloak slid down the back of the chair. Yin Ji quickly stepped forward, picked up the cloak, and put it on his master again.
