When Yin Ji opened the door, it was indeed Gao Yun who appeared in front of him, but he was so tired that he was panting, sweating profusely, and seemed to be a little frightened. Looking at Gao Yun from a distance, who looked panicked, Lu Zuo expected that something must have happened.

Without waiting for Yin Ji to say hello, Gao Yun rushed directly into the house, Yin Ji closed the door with an inexplicable face, and then muttered, "What are you doing like this?" Isn't it a ghost in broad daylight! ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Zuo also asked with concern.

After Gao Yun sat down, he hurriedly picked up the teapot from the table, poured a cup of tea, and poured it directly into his throat, only then did he settle down, and after wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead with the sleeves of his robe, he spit out a few words uneasily and in an atmosphere, "Damn, someone is following me!" ”

Lu Zuo and Yin Ji were surprised in unison: "Tracking you? What about people now? ”

"Yes!" Gao Yun was sure, "As soon as I went out, I saw a few beggars in front of the door who were very suspicious!" ”

"They're disguised as beggars?" Yin Ji asked playfully, "Second Brother Gao, how do you tell that they are the ones who are following you?" ”

"Hmm...... In the past, there were some beggars passing by at our door, and I knew some of their characteristics, but in the past two days there were some beggars squatting in front of my house, and the strange thing is that although they were dressed in tattered clothes and their faces were very pickled, I found that their hands were unusually clean, and I thought them very strange at that time. So I went up and tried to take out two copper plates and threw them into their broken bowls, but when they reached out, I noticed that something was wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Zuo asked curiously.

"There are calluses in the mouth of the tiger's right hand of that beggar!"

Yin Ji also seemed to understand, "Oh! I understand that the calluses at the tiger's mouth are not everything, they are usually lying on the knife all year round and are sharpened by the handle. So second brother Gao, did you judge based on this? ”

Gao Yun nodded, "After I knew, I was tentatively wandering around the street in front of the mansion just now, but I didn't expect that they had been secretly following." Aware of this, I tried to get rid of them, but I didn't expect them to be quite smart and track them very quickly, and I ran a few streets before I got rid of them. ”

Lu Zuo bowed his head silently, and it was very strange, "It's hard to say whose person it is?" ”

"Do you think it will be King Ning or the crown prince?" Yin Ji said.

Lu Zuo frowned, "Hmm! Quite possibly. However, according to what Brother Xian just described, there are calluses in the tiger's mouth, so it is very likely that it is a guard in the palace, so it may also be someone sent by the emperor! ”

"Your Majesty?" Gao Yun shook his head, "I don't think it's the emperor, the most likely is the crown prince, and those people may be the guards of the East Palace." ”

"Brother Xian, how can you be so sure that they are the people of the crown prince Liu Yan? How so? Lu Zuo asked puzzled.

"Because lately my brother has always mentioned the prince to me, saying that he seems to be a little suspicious of me. And in the past two days, the prince has been asking my brother to ask me to go to the prince's mansion for a talk. ”

Lu Zuo began to show a fierce light in his eyes, "Then did you go?" ”

Gao Yun shook his head innocently, "I didn't go, and I ...... Don't want to go. ”

Lu Zuo sighed, "Then it's no wonder people don't believe you!" ”

"But my brother has been maneuvering around it, and if the prince really doubted me, he would have stopped me from participating in the tournament a long time ago! The draw for the martial arts competition the day before yesterday was secretly arranged by them, otherwise they would have let Xun Mou draw me in the first round. ”

"Maybe it's just a suspicion now!" Lu Zuo then asked, "What is the situation on the prince's side now?" ”

"My brother doesn't dare to ask too much now, but according to what he said, they also hope that you can successfully recover Shanzhou this time." Gao Yun nodded with satisfaction when he saw his eldest brother, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, "You said that this expedition, will the prince send someone to interfere with it?" Especially for you and Brother Pang?"

Lu Zuo shook his head, "It shouldn't be, if you lose this expedition, it won't do him any good, and you are in charge, they should still trust you now, but they can't figure out your attitude, so they have no reason to push you to King Ning's side." ”

Gao Yun sighed when he heard this, his face full of frustration.

"Brother Xian, what's wrong?" Lu Zuo also saw his embarrassment a little, "Don't worry too much, you weren't so sentimental before?" ”

Yin Ji also laughed and said: "Second Brother Gao, it seems that it is really a high-ranking official who makes people worried, and people like us in white really can't think about it!" ”

"Xiao Yinji, you can't talk anymore." Gao Yun continued to sigh as he spoke, "I have something unspeakable!" ”

"Unspeakable? What's so hard to say, I think you're just a mediocrity. Yin Ji sneered, and as he spoke, he took a piece of leftover steamed bun from the table and continued to eat.

Lu Zuowan smiled and asked with concern: "Brother Xian doesn't have to think so much, I am here on this expedition to the west, you can rest assured, I agreed with you here two days ago, I am afraid that you will think too much, Shanzhou is my hometown, I know everything about it, and it is because of this that the emperor will send me there." To tell you the truth, in fact, the situation is already in my hands. ”

Gao Yun didn't seem to be listening to Lu Zuo's speech, still bowing his head thoughtfully and not speaking.

Lu Zuo only understood at this time that Gao Yun was not because of this matter, but it was not because of the expedition, so why did he hang his head so much? The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable Lu Zuo feels, since getting along for a while now, Lu Zuo always feels that Gao Yun is much worse than when he first met, or much smarter than before.

Yin Ji saw that the two of them were silent and did not speak, but he was a little anxious, took a sip of tea, and asked, "What do you two think?" Second brother Gao, what's wrong with you this morning? As soon as you come in, you see that you are not willing to give up? ”

Lu Zuo also asked casually: "Virtuous brother! If there is anything to say, it doesn't matter, the foolish brother will solve your problems. ”

"Actually......" Gao Yun wanted to say something, but finally mustered up the courage, "Actually, I'm a little worried about my brother." ”

"Gohan?" Lu Zuo also calculated that Gao Han was hiding from the prince for his younger brother, so it was very likely to become the target of public criticism.

Gao Yun nodded a little disappointed, "My brother is now promoted to the squire of the Ministry of Works because of my affairs, but he is also restricted everywhere because of me. He is also in a bad situation now, I am afraid that the paper will not be able to contain the fire, and if the prince and they find out about the relationship between you and me in the future, I don't care, I am afraid that it will affect my brother. Saying that, Gao Yun sighed again, "Hey...... Every time I think of this, I always feel a little unhappy in my heart, as if I, who is a younger brother, are using his information! ”
