Chapter 215: Discouraged
The study room in the Lu Mansion was so quiet that it was almost suffocating, Lu Zuo sat on the chair behind the bookcase and began to cough incessantly, from light to severe, the cough was almost about to cough out the internal organs, and even the gauze lamp on the bookcase was faint and faint with the coughing sound.
Yin Ji's face was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to pat his back for his master, and asked anxiously and concernedly, "Master, are you okay?" Do you want to call Lang Zhong for you? ”
Lu Zuo coughed and couldn't speak, and raised his hand to signal that it was not necessary. In the end, Lu Zuo finally stopped coughing, but his face turned red because of this, and his eyes seemed to have tears, and he said softly: "Go back to the house and rest!" I want to be alone......" he said and coughed again, "Silence! ”
Yin Ji felt that he was guilty at the moment, and if he didn't get the master's forgiveness today, he would be ready to die, so he ran to the hall with emotion, knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed again and again, and kept chanting: "Master...... If you don't forgive the disciple, the disciple would prefer to judge himself today. ”
Lu Zuo's face was pale, without a trace of blood, his expression was gloomy, and he seemed to be a little disheartened, and he said coldly after a long time: "There are three kinds of people in this world, one lives for others, one lives for oneself, and one doesn't know how to live. And I didn't know how to live, until what happened last year made me completely change my mind, it turns out that I live for others and for hatred, so I especially envy those who live for themselves, just like you. I used to think that you were a person who was free and easy by nature, a person who lived only for himself. That night under the low wall of the alleys of the capital, when I first saw the true face of the young man, I felt full of joy, and when I heard his life story, I felt even more love and pity, so I regarded the young man as my own brother, loved him, loved him, and taught him what I had learned all my life, and even told him my most secret treasures, hoping that he would inherit my mantle. Speaking of this, Lu Zuo sighed and said very sadly, "But ......"
At this moment, Yin Ji was already in tears, kneeling at Lu Zuo's feet, and kept wiping his tears.
"You ......" Lu Zuo held back for a long time, watching Yin Ji cry heartbreakingly, but he couldn't say the word "go" in the second half.
Yin Ji hurriedly said: "Master, it's true that I'm Marshal Zhou's eyeliner, but I've never betrayed you, not at all!" If there is half a lie in what the disciple said, I would rather die if the sky thunders and splits......"
Lu Zuo's heart was touched, and his frowning brows were slightly soothed, and he slowly said, "Why are you arranged by my side?" Who are you? ”
"The apprentice's original life experience is not false, I was taken in by the master in the temple when I was two years old, and he also taught me a lot of skills, but then when I was fourteen years old, the master recommended me to Marshal Zhou, so I am also ......" Yin Ji lowered his head and looked dazed.
"So you're also a secret disciple of Old Marshal Zhou?" Lu Zuo asked in a low voice.
Yin Ji nodded dejectedly, "Xun Mou was originally a closed disciple of Marshal Zhou, he didn't want to accept other disciples, since my master and he were old friends, secondly, he saw that I was talented and intelligent, and wanted to cultivate me into a talent, and one day he could help him, so he made an exception to accept me, but this news is not known to anyone other than the old marshal and my master, so this matter can be said to be a secret, I have always lived next door to the Shuaifu, and it is usually Marshal Zhou who comes to teach me in person." Yin Ji continued, "I know that Master showed up last year! The old marshal was very curious about your background, and he was also curious about whether there was such a book "The Theory of the Ghost Valley", so he thought of using me as an undercover agent to sneak into your side secretly, and you know what happened later. When Yin Ji said this, he quickly denied it, "But Master, the apprentice really didn't betray you!" There really isn't a ......."
Lu Zuo sneered sadly, "Does it include "Ghost Valley Vertical and Horizontal Wheel"? ”
Yin Ji's face turned red in an instant, and he snorted, "This ...... I...... I was just...... I made sure that the old marshal had this book, but I didn't tell him where it was hidden! ”
Lu Zuo raised his left hand, and his originally pale face turned red, and he held back his beard for a moment before he said in a dumb voice: "You...... Let's go! ”
"This ......" Yin Ji cried bitterly and knelt down to Lu Zuo, "Master...... Master...... I really don't have any other ...... in this world."
"Let's go! The fate of you and I as master and apprentice is over. Lu Zuo's face was expressionless at this time, "With your current ability, even if you are alone...... Okay you...... Let's go! Lu Zuo said that he stood up slowly, shook the corner of his sleeve to break free of Yin Ji's hand, and then walked out of the study door tremblingly.
In the study, only the sad Yin Ji knelt in place, at this time he had mixed feelings, but there was nothing to vent, he has been studying under three masters, the first master in the temple brought him up like his own father, the second master Marshal Zhou taught himself a lot of skills, but he understood that Marshal Zhou just used it as his tool, and the third, he was also a teacher and friend, and really regarded himself as his own relatives, and told himself everything without reservation, although he did not betray the master in the real sense, But concealing one's background is a fact.
Tonight was extremely cold, but at this time, Lu Zuo didn't realize it, maybe it was because his body had been numb from the cold, and the study was not far from his own room, but he felt like he had walked all night, and the cloak on his body slipped under the porch, and he didn't know it. Lu Zuo propped up and returned to the outside of the wing, there was still a bright light in the wing, and a shadow came in the room, and that person was quiet.
Seeing that Xianggong's face was flushed, but his face was very haggard, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" How do you toss yourself like this? So cold, and not wearing a cloak? ”
Lu Zuo saw his wife as if he had seen a savior, holding Jing Ruo's hand tightly and walking into the house with difficulty, but at this moment, his chest had begun to surge, and he wanted to answer Jing Ruo's words, but he couldn't do anything about it, and he coughed vigorously while trembling as he walked, and his eyes gradually turned a little red. Jing Jingruo's face was as frightened as earth, and he walked forward with his left hand on his arms, patting his back with his right hand, and consoling Lu Zuo's situation. When Lu Zuo finally walked to the edge of the bed, he suddenly felt a churn in his chest, spit out a mouthful of blood, and the hemp quilt on the bed was instantly cornered. Quiet Ruo "ah" screamed, frightened to the flower color, I thought that Xiang Gong just occasionally felt cold, I didn't expect it to be so serious, quickly helped him lean on the side of the bed, and then rolled up the dirty quilt, and then let Lu Zuo lie on the bed, just when Jing Jingruo was about to take the quilt to change another set of quilts, suddenly Lu Zuo screamed, and when he looked back, he saw Xiang Gong's face hideous, the corners of his mouth drooling, and then his limbs began to twitch. If it's not good to be quiet, Xianggong will clearly mean that the old disease has recurred.
