Chapter 206: Journey to the West
When Xun Mou learned of his master's words, his excitement was beyond words, but he didn't expect the master to hide it and arrange an insider to be by Lu Zuo's side, and now it seems that as long as this insider stands up to prove Lu Zuo and others, then it can be said that it will be easy to catch Lu Zuo and others. Xun Mou couldn't wait to ask: "Who is this inside line, Master?" Why don't we let him stand up and expose Lu Zuo, then Xia Jingying's father and son can not only get revenge, but also wipe out Lu Zuo, wouldn't it be wonderful! ”
Zhou Zhongwang had a calm face, his eyes drooped, and he looked powerless, "He doesn't want to say it, and he doesn't want to force him as a teacher!" ”
"Why is that?" Xun Mou's emotions were a little out of control, in his opinion, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, "Master, who is this inside line you are talking about?" Let the apprentice convince him, and he will help you! ”
"No need!" Zhou Zhongwang opened his eyes vigorously, "As for who he is, don't inquire anymore, the teacher promised him that he wouldn't tell the third person to know." Now that he is leaving, let him live the life he wants! ”
"This ......" Xun Mou gritted his teeth, lowered his head heavily, and tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart, it seems that the master is really old and confused, while persuading himself to get rid of Lu Zuo as soon as possible, there is an extremely simple and deadly method, but he doesn't need it, since he has already arranged the internal line, why don't he say it for a long time, now that the enemy is present, it is really difficult to understand his thoughts. After a long time, Xun Mou raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Master! Now is not the time to be rash, if you don't get rid of Lu Zuo, he will definitely become his fish and meat one day! Master, no matter what, you must do the apprentice a favor in the end! ”
Zhou Zhongwang's cheeks trembled, his eyes closed and he breathed hard, struggling in his heart for a long time, but he still sighed and shook his head.
"Master!" Xun Mou almost roared, his voice trembled, like anger, like grief and helplessness.
"I promised him for the teacher, let's let him go!"
Xun Mou saw that the master's expression was depressed, and it was not easy to force it anymore, and when he was about to say something, the footsteps outside the house came from far and near, and it was several family members of the master who rushed into the hall, seeing that the master had woken up, several men and women in the middle of the house cried with joy, and they all gathered around the edge of the bed, Xun Mou had to withdraw from the crowd, looked up at the housekeeper standing behind the screen boringly, and then lowered his head and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back. As soon as Xun Mou walked to the eaves of the porch, he saw that there was already a light snow outside the house, and the dim candlelight on the window lattice was reflected on the snow in the courtyard. Xun Mou's left foot, which had already stepped down the stone steps, suddenly retracted it, he looked back at the half-hidden Zhu Men unwillingly at the moment, and turned around and was about to push the door, but he heard the sound of whimpering in the room, but he stopped his hand. At this moment, the door opened with a "squeak", and he was greeted by the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, holding an umbrella in his hand.
When the housekeeper saw that it was General Xun, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yo! General Xun is still here! I thought you were far away and ready to catch up with you! As he spoke, he raised the umbrella in his hand and handed it to Xun Mou, "The master said that it would snow heavily, so let the little one bring you an umbrella!" ”
Xun Mou frowned, looked at the old housekeeper coldly, slowly took the umbrella in his hand, his heart was mixed, he didn't know what to say, he didn't even notice that the housekeeper turned around and entered the house at the end, he stood under the eaves of the corridor in a daze, he didn't know what time the wind and snow hit him, he carefully experienced the old housekeeper's words, it was snowing heavily? Umbrella? Master is shrewd and experienced in a hundred battles, and can always be reused in the hands of the eccentric and suspicious emperor, he definitely has his wisdom in life, and the words he just said must have a deep meaning, hey! After Xun Mou sighed, now that the master is still thinking about himself, it would be a little ungrateful to go into the house to persecute the master. Thinking about Xun Moufu, he turned around and opened the umbrella and stepped down the stone steps. The weather is cold, the stone steps are slippery, Xun Mou is cold and slippery, almost fell, a staggered out four or five steps, Xun Mou really woke up, when he was not angry, suddenly heard a cry in the hall, resounding through the house, Xun Mou was startled, yelled badly, threw the umbrella, turned around and ran to the hall, when he hit the door to see, sure enough, everyone beat their chests around the bed and cried, and the house was crying for a while.
"Master......" Xun Mou rushed to the bed heartbreakingly, lying on the edge of the bed and crying until he almost fainted......
The fourth day of the first lunar month is the day to invite God, and the people have all kinds of customs. Before the sky was polished today, King Ning had already secretly sent someone to invite Lu Zuo to the secret room of the palace. Lu Zuo hurriedly changed his clothes, and when he saw that it was snowing heavily, he hurriedly put on another coat. Jing Jingruo looked at Xiang Gong while dressing him, and saw Xiang Gong's face sallow and pale under the light, and couldn't help but mutter: "King Ning is also doing things in a hurry, what can be the urgency?" Can't wait until dawn to go? ”
Lu Zuo said unhurriedly: "The sky is not yet dawn, and it is snowing so heavily, King Ning has sent someone to urge, presumably there is something else in the palace!" ”
If Jing Jing heard the word "palace", he instantly reacted and thought that something had happened to the emperor, so he asked nervously: "Something happened in the palace?" Could it be the emperor and his old man......" If he didn't dare to say any more, his eyes were anxious and fell on Lu Zuo's brow.
Lu Zuo's eyes were cold, and then he shook his head, "It shouldn't be!" If it was really the emperor who died, King Ning should be in the palace at this time, and it would be impossible to have time to summon me! ”
"Master......" Yin Ji outside the house urged again, "Okay, okay?" ”
Jing Ruo's eyebrows were still faintly worried, her eyes looked at her husband's face expectantly, and she whispered: "Be careful......
Lu Zuowen laughed and said, "Don't worry! I'm leaving......" and hurried out the door.
Yin Ji waited outside the house, holding an umbrella in his left hand and a lamp in his right hand, leading the way while covering the snow for his master.
In the dark room of King Ning's Mansion, King Ning Liu Xun was pacing back and forth in the dark room with a tight space, his steps were brisk, and he looked at the secret passage leading to Xinghua Restaurant from time to time. The warmth in the room was so warm that people didn't know that it was the cold winter wax moon, and the smile on the corner of Liu Xun's mouth was as difficult to hide as a spring breeze at the moment. Liu Xingzhi, who was sitting at the table behind him, looked calm, tasted the tea in his hand, and said slowly: "Father, are you so happy?" Don't you just ......"
"You know what?" Liu Xun interrupted Liu Xingzhi with a smile, "This is great news, great news!" Your father and I have been waiting for this day for many years, and today is finally here! ”
"It's not for you to be the prince!" Liu Xingzhi was a little disdainful, "Look at you!" ”
As he was speaking, there was a sound of footsteps in the secret passage, and Liu Xun was so anxious at this time that he couldn't help but say something, walked to the secret passage, and greeted him in person.
