"Knock knock knock...... There was a knock on the door of a guest room on the second floor near the courtyard.

Yin Ji saw that there was no response in the house, so he knocked hard three times in a row.

"Who is it?" The voice was thick, and the voices in the room must have been Pang Gu responding, but he was very impatient when he heard the tone, "Don't knock on the damn, I'm already asleep!" ”

The house was brightly lit, and Yin Ji knew that he was fooling people, so he deliberately annoyed him, and continued to knock on the door silently, Lu Zuo smiled silently and did not stop him.

"Who?" The rough voice in the room seemed to be more agitated, and then the swearing seemed to get closer and closer. After the door opened, Pang Gu suddenly looked up, and when he saw that it was Lu Zuo and Yin Ji, he jumped up excitedly, "Brother Lu, little Yin Ji, why did you come?" Hurry up, hurry up! Inside please! With that, he shoved them both inside, then turned back and closed the door.

Lu Zuo sat at the table and said with a smile: "Brother Pang, it seems that there are a lot of people who come to you tonight!" ”

Pang Gu poured water for the two of them, and said helplessly: "Brother Lu, don't laugh at me, when you talk about this, I'll be angry!" ”

After Yin Ji drank the water poured by Pang Gu in one gulp, he took the kettle and teased him with a smile while pouring water: "Brother Pang, isn't this very good?" ”

Pang Gu patted Yin Ji's head, "You kid, you can say!" Then he complained to Lu Zuo, "Brother Lu, now I understand the old saying, what is the cold window for ten years, there is no ......."

Yin Ji answered: "No one has asked about the cold window for ten years, and he has become famous all over the world in one fell swoop!" ”

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

"But I think Brother Dang today is called 'If you don't sing, you're already a blockbuster, and if you don't fly, you've soared into the sky'!"

"Xiao Yinji, you are amazing, follow Brother Lu to learn to chew words!" Pang Gu then slapped the table and sighed, "These people annoyed me to death this night, so wouldn't it be even more troublesome in the future?" Ay...... I think the younger brother, I still learn to hang the seal and seal the gold of the second master, and I don't have to do anything when I leave. ”

Yin Ji continued to sneer and said: "Brother Pang, then Second Master Guan is looking for Liu Xuande to hang the seal and seal the gold, who are you looking for?" ”

Pang Gu stared at Yin Ji, his eyes widened, "I'll find Brother Lu, I don't have time to talk to you kid about this, I mean seriously." ”

"That's it!" Lu Zuo smiled and said, "You guys don't have a war of words!" Brother Pang, I also understand your suffering, but since the matter has become a fact, there is nothing to refuse, I believe that as a brother, I conclude that you will be able to do something in the court. ”

"But......" Pang Gu looked helpless, "This human favor that comes and goes every day, I can't stand it because I always do things against my will." ”

Lu Zuo drank a glass of water, "Do you know why the emperor made you the rank of Huaihua and let you go out with the army?" ”

"I know!" Yin Ji hurriedly replied, "Because the big brother is very capable." ”

Pang Gu also looked at Lu Zuo with deep understanding, wanting to get his instructions.

Lu Zuo sneered: "Ji'er, what you said is just one of them. ”

"Could there be another reason?" Pang Gu asked curiously.

Lu Zuo nodded, "Another point, what the emperor likes is that you are not good at making friends with people, and you will not be friends with people!" ”

"But?" Pang Gu was very puzzled, and thought, "But the emperor and I are only a few faces, how can I know my personality?" ”

"Hehe......" Lu Zuo raised the teacup in his hand and asked, "Brother Pang thinks this teacup is worth much?" ”

"Where is the common thing of the people's family!"

"Then how did Brother Pang know that this cup was an ordinary thing?"

"Naturally, I have seen a lot, and I will know it at a glance!" Pang Gu was puzzled, "Brother Lu is avoiding the important and trivial, asking what is this broken cup for?" ”

Yin Ji sneered: "Brother Pang, you still don't know what my master means!" Even I know! ”

Pang Gu looked at Yin Ji, and then looked at Lu Zuo with a puzzled expression, "This ...... What do you mean? ”

Lu Zuo explained: "Whether the cup is worth anything or not, ordinary people can see it at a glance, the emperor has read countless people, is a person worth a heavy responsibility, isn't it clear to his old man?" What's more, our emperor is over half a hundred years old, and it can be said that he has a unique vision. ”

"Oh!" Pang Gu suddenly realized, but he lowered his head a little resentfully and continued to think in pieces, "But I'm just afraid that his old man will have to look away, anyway, I don't want to be this official!" I originally wanted to refuse today, but before I could say it, the emperor said that he was tired and wanted to leave, and I was in a hurry at that time! ”

Lu Zuo smiled and said: "I also saw it today, when you were about to speak, I expected that Brother Pang would definitely refuse politely." But the emperor said that he was tired, did you really believe it? ”

Pang Gu was puzzled: "Brother Lu, what do you mean ......?"

"What the emperor said at that time was just a pretext!"

"I see, that means the emperor also saw my intentions at that time!" Pang Gu guessed.

Yin Ji smiled, "It seems that Brother Dang is also quite smart!" ”

Pang Gu ignored Yin Ji's teasing words, just lowered his head and said meaningfully: "Hey...... This court is really complicated! ”

"Brother Pang doesn't have to worry too much, there is still a brother!"

"It's easy to go up the mountain and hard to go down, since the wood is ...... It's done, then you can only move forward. Pang Gu knew that even if he wanted to quit now, it would be useless, so he asked, "Brother Lu, what should the younger brother do next?" ”

Lu Zuo said in a low voice: "At the moment, we can only wait for the Autumn Queen Class to go on the expedition, as long as there is no fork on the prince's side, it shouldn't be a problem to take back Shanzhou this time!" ”

Seeing him swearing so much, Pang Gu couldn't help but wonder: "Why is Brother Lu so confident that he will definitely be able to take back Shanzhou?" ”

Lu Zuo sneered: "Everything is under my control, Brother Pang, this is also your chance to make contributions!" ”

Pang Gu hugged his fists, "It doesn't matter if you make contributions, as long as you can follow Brother Lu, the younger brother is also willing." ”

Yin Ji also shouted: "Master, this time I will also go into battle to kill the enemy, the apprentice's Zhan Lu sword has not really come in handy!" ”

"Kill? Ji'er, you have a chance in the future! Lu Zuo smiled slightly, and then continued to ask Pang Gu, "Did the Holy Lord say when to send troops?" ”

"Don't Brother Lu know?"

"This kind of thing is so important, the emperor won't tell me."

Pang Gu stood up, leaned into Lu Zuo's ear, and whispered: "Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the army will be dispatched on August 16. ”

Lu Zuo nodded and muttered, "This is about the same time as I expected, now we have to start preparing!" ”

"Prepare what?" Pang Gu looked at Lu Zuo, who had a strange expression, and asked.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Lu Zuo pretended to be calm.

"By the way, there's one more thing I almost forgot!"

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

Pang Gu was indignant and said, "When I came back from the palace tonight, I found that someone was following me!" ”
