In the dim and cramped secret room, Liu Xingyuan felt extremely embarrassed, because without waiting for Lu Zuo's introduction, Huo Jin actually found a place to sit down. Lu Zuo and Huo Jin weren't particularly good, and they couldn't say anything, so they just replied with a smile: "This is Lu's friend, it's this upright nature, and I hope that the eldest son Haihan." ”

Liu Xingyuan smiled slightly and looked at Huo Jin, he didn't seem to be listening to what they said, so he also shook his head nonchalantly, "Mr. Lu is polite, it doesn't matter." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Huo Jin again, showing a very appreciative look, and he deliberately raised his voice and said, "I think this brother must be a capable person, otherwise he would not be so favored by you, Mr. Lu." ”

Huo Jin still pretended not to hear, looking around to herself.

Lu Zuo hurriedly rounded the field, "Yes, this is the talent that Lu wants to introduce to you." ”

Liu Xingyuan's eyes lit up, "Oh! Dare to ask the name? ”

"His name is Huo Jin." Lu Zuo said, "He is the leader of Fengji Mountain, and he also has a share of the credit for the retreating soldiers." ”

Liu Xingyuan was surprised, and hurriedly bowed to Huo Jin, "It turned out that he was a hero of the country, and he was rude." ”

Huo Jin only raised his eyes at this time to look at Liu Xingyuan, and saw that he was very sincere, so he returned the salute, "This eldest young master is polite." ”

Liu Xingyuan saw that his words were mocking, and he was still so arrogant, so he retracted his smile awkwardly and continued to ask Lu Zuo, "It's so late, I don't know what Mr. Lu is looking for?" ”

Lu Zuo's face sank deliberately, and his eyes were fixed on Liu Xingyuan, "Come to save you." ”

"Help me?" Liu Xingyuan looked at Lu Zuo in puzzlement, and then sneered, "What can I say, Mr. Lu is afraid that he is alarmist." ”

"Is the eldest prince still in the dark?" Lu Zuo was surprised and said, "Liu Xingzhi is already ready to attack you, I came tonight to ask you to go with me tomorrow." ”

Liu Xingyuan smiled indifferently, it is not news that Liu Xingzhi has bad intentions, "Liu Xingzhi's heart of tiger and wolf, you and I already know it, and it is not a matter of a day or two that he wants to harm me." Since Mr. Lu promised me that he would let my father make me the son, why didn't he help me realize it now, but persuaded me to run away? ”

"Do you think Liu Xingzhi will compete fairly with you?" Lu Zuo asked rhetorically, "Do you think that compared to Liu Xingzhi, your power is as great as his?" Do you have as many cronies as he has? And most importantly, are you the prince's son-in-law? ”

Liu Xingyuan listened, hung his head silently, and replied for a long time: "But even if I leave, where will I go?" ”

"Come back to Shanzhou with me." Lu Zuo had already thought of his words, "Now that King Ning and the crown prince are fighting in full swing, Liu Xingzhi can't spare his hand to deal with you for the time being, we can leave the capital, a place of right and wrong, and wait and see. ”

General Liu Xingyuan said suspiciously: "Advance and retreat freely? If I really leave the capital, then Liu Xing's family is dominant, will Mr. Lu still have a way to take him down? ”

Lu Zuo smiled coldly: "It's not so simple for Liu Xingzhi to want to be the dominant family, if King Ning really becomes the crown prince, I'm afraid that King Ning's favorite successor is not him!" What the eldest prince has to do now is to protect himself first. ”

"Good!" Liu Xingyuan suddenly agreed, "I can go with you." ”

Tonight, destined to be sleepless.

In the compound of the Lu Mansion, there is already an atmosphere of early spring. Lu Zuo smelled the fragrance of the attack, but infinite sadness surged in his heart, his mother died, his younger brother was separated from morality, and the situation in front of him became more and more blurred.

"Old man......"

The housekeeper Lao Pan suddenly appeared in front of the stone steps, which really startled Lu Zuo, "It's so late, what's the matter?" ”

Lao Pan bowed respectfully, and said with a smile: "The second master is here again, waiting in the hall!" ”

"Oh......" Lu Zuo was startled at first, and couldn't help muttering, "Why is Renxiang here again?" ”

Lao Pan's ears were sharp, and he hurriedly answered: "Say it's a meeting." ”

Lu Zuo didn't feel good in his heart, "Please come to the courtyard for the second master, I'll wait for him here." ”

"The little one understands."

Lao Pan was turning around and taking two steps, and was stopped by Lu Zuo. Lu Zuo's face was gloomy, and he instructed him: "I will go back to my hometown tomorrow for the next two days, and I will not return to Beijing so soon, and the affairs of my family will be handled by you." ”

Lao Pan nodded, "The little one won't disappoint you, sir." ”

At this time, when I looked up at the sky on the roof, the moonlight was coldly reflected on the stone pavement in the courtyard, and the soles of my feet gradually felt a chill. Under the lights of the courtyard in the courtyard, Yingying could see a few blood-red plum blossoms scattered in the wind, looking at the situation, he couldn't help but make Lu Zuo feel a little sad. Lu Zuo walked to the bottom of the tree, his cold and pale right hand gently picked up the petals, and then carefully looked at the light, the petals were still fragrant.

"Brother, it's so casual and elegant."

Lu Zuo turned his head to look at Renxiang with a smile, and when he saw his younger brother's serious face, he asked, "Renxiang, it's so late, what's the matter?" ”

Lu Renxiang took a step forward, pursed his mouth and lowered his head, not knowing where to start, and after swallowing a few saliva, he boldly said, "I won't go back with you tomorrow." ”

"What?" Lu Zuo didn't seem to hear clearly, and confirmed again.

"I'm not going back tomorrow." Lu Renxiang's eyes were red, "The loss of my mother will be taken care of by you." ”

Lu Zuo was surprised and puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

"You also know that my new household department, my predecessor left a lot of messes to clean up, plus I went back to my hometown for a while, and there are many things in the backlog of errands in the ministry that have not been completed, so ......" Lu Renxiang was a little embarrassed, "I won't go back." ”

Lu Zuo's face gradually became gloomy, "Don't you want to send the old man on his last journey?" ”

Lu Renxiang saw that his brother's tone was a little unhappy, and he was also a little emotional, and he wanted to swallow his saliva.

Lu Zuo saw that his younger brother didn't speak, so he simply made the decision for him and said: "This is the top priority of our family, if there is a reply from the saint tomorrow, we will return to our hometown together." As for the matter of keeping filial piety, being a brother will naturally fulfill the filial piety of the son of man. ”

Lu Renxiang suppressed and said: "Now that you know that you are filial piety, do you know that this is the top priority?" When my mother was dying, why didn't she see you go back to visit? ”

"You ......" Lu Zuo frowned, forcibly suppressing his anger, "You are not for our Lu family." ”

"Lu family, Lu family!" Lu Renxiang was furious and said, "The Lu family is long gone, and there is no Lu family at all." After that, Lu Renxiang's eyes were red, "Now that our mother is gone, she is gone, do we still have a home?" Anything else? ”
