Zhou Zhong looked at Xun Mou's anxious appearance that he had never had, and there was a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, it seems that this Lu Zuo and his master Xu Li are simply a virtue, mysterious and mysterious every day, always making people feel unpredictable, and compared to Lu Zuo, it is simply more than that! Zhou Zhongwang sat down while thinking about it, and said, "Get up!" Now that the matter has come to this point, you have come to find a teacher, but is there any good plan? ”

Xun Mou stood up with his head bowed slightly, and then stopped talking, for fear that he would be refuted by the master, so he didn't dare to say it for a long time. "I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

"Say it! What else do you and my master and apprentice have to hide? ”

"Apprentice wants to ......" Xun Mou cleared his throat, "Apprentice thinks, Master, you can come forward to take command again!" ”

Zhou Zhongwang frowned, noncommittal, and pondered for a long time before he said, "Do you want to recommend yourself again for the teacher?" ”

Xun Mou lowered his head again, "It should be said that it is for you, Master, to turn the tide!" ”

"Hmph......" Zhou Zhongwang sneered and shook his head, "I'm afraid that the teacher will eat closed-door soup again!" ”

"If Master doesn't take this opportunity to find prestige in the army, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the Holy Lord to reuse you!"

"As a teacher, it is long overdue to retire from the rivers and lakes and not ask about the affairs of the court, these so-called fame and fortune are nothing to the teacher!"

Xun Mou saw that what the master said was sincere, and knew in his heart that he was rejected last time when he took the initiative to ask the saint, so he was so negative, so he said: "Could it be that the master retreated because of the emperor's refusal?" ”

Zhou Zhongwang lowered his head and frowned in thought.

Xun Mou continued: "If the master doesn't come out of the mountain again, the emperor doesn't believe it, but there is still an apprentice, this time the apprentice comes back from a defeat, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty look down on the apprentice!" Xun Mou began to choke up as he spoke, "Please have pity on the apprentice, Master!" ”

Zhou Zhongwang listened, raised his head and looked at Xun Mou with cold eyes, he is already in the last years of the wind and candle, and he has been on the battlefield for decades, and now fame and fortune are indeed no longer the temptation of the past, but only Xun Mou, the apprentice he has painstakingly cultivated, must help him become famous, not to mention that his opponent is still the apprentice of his senior brother, so he gritted his teeth in his heart, "Then as a teacher, I will rely on the old man to help you again, this time, you must be in command for the teacher!" ”

Xun Moufu cried bitterly and fell to the ground, "Thank you, Master!" Thank You, Master! Master's grace of reinvention will never be forgotten! ”

"Alright, alright! Get up! The man has gold under his knees, and he keeps kneeling back and forth! ”

When Xun Mou stood up again, a smile appeared on his face again, "This time, Master will take the initiative to ask for help again, and the Holy Lord will definitely give you face for the old man." ”

"For the teacher to understand! When the time comes, you will still be by my side, and this is also the time for you to make meritorious contributions and win back the trust of everyone. ”

"This matter is not too late, tomorrow morning, I will invite the master to enter the palace to face the saint and settle this matter! Master, what do you think? ”

Zhou Zhongwang nodded, "Hmm! That's it! Zhou Zhongwang suddenly remembered something, "Mou'er! ”

"In vain!"

"I heard that you have been very close to the prince recently, but is there such a thing?"

Xun Mou hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Master, the prince is also the prince of the country, and the apprentice also wants to do his best for the country, right?" ”

"You!" Zhou Zhongwang's tone had a hint of blame, "I advise you for the teacher, it's best not to get involved in the dispute between right and wrong, whoever is the emperor we will assist, don't do those opportunistic things, understand?" ”

"Master taught me! The disciples must keep it in mind and never forget! ”

The nights of late summer are a little cooler than during the day. Lu Zuo was in the courtyard, strolling around with a hand-cranked feather fan. Yin Ji sat on a chair, soaked his feet under the locust tree, heated water in the wooden basin from time to time, rubbed the soles of his feet, and shouted at the master: "Master, if you don't wash it again, I'm not welcome!" Hey hey ......"

Lu Zuo looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said, "You wash it first!" ”

"Master, what's wrong with you? Another preoccupied look, aren't we much safer now! The prince also sent us a few more family members, and now you are also from the rank of the ninth rank of Hanlin to be edicted, what are you afraid of? Yin Ji looked at the master and blinked innocently.

Lu Zuo lowered his head, bit the feather fan lightly and walked to the locust tree, and also sat on a chair next to Yin Ji, and said with a smile: "Now we are also in the bright place, so we must be more careful." ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the stone road in the courtyard, Lu Zuo pointed in the direction of the courtyard with a feather fan, and said with a smile: "Needless to say, this footstep must be the housekeeper coming." ”

Yin Ji raised his head, and a figure flashed outside the courtyard, sure enough, it was the housekeeper Lao Pan, Yin Ji shouted: "Uncle Pan, what's the hurry?" ”

Lao Pan strode to Lu Zuo's side, and then replied: "Master, General Gao outside asks to see you!" ”

"He's coming! Didn't I tell you that if General Gao came, there would be no need to report it! Lu Zuo's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear the blame.

Lao Pan bowed, "The little one remembered!" I'm going to go and invite him in. ”

Less leaning, Gao Yun came to the yard unhurriedly, and saw that Yin Ji was soaking his feet in the eldest brother, so he came from afar and teased: "Big brother, you are very comfortable!" ”

Lu Zuo looked up and smiled at him, "This is no way!" ”

Gao Yun walked up to his eldest brother and asked with a smile, "Why do you soak every day?" ”

Yin Ji interjected: "Of course, the master said that after soaking these medicinal materials with hot water, soaking my feet is good for the master, and the master told me to soak the master's feet every day, I dare not forget." ”

Lu Zuo looked at the slightly childish Yin Ji and couldn't help but smile. Gao Yun continued to ask the eldest brother with concern: "Has the condition recurred in the past few days?" ”

Yin Ji didn't wait for the master to answer, so he hurriedly said: "It's been a lot better recently, since the Kuji Temple came out, the master's problem has not occurred." ”

Lu Zuo patted Yin Ji's head lightly and said with a smile: "This has to be due to Ji Er's careful care!" ”

Gao Yun laughed and joked with Yin Ji, "Little Yin Ji, you should also be your second brother's apprentice!" ”

Yin Ji made a ghost at Gao Yun, pouted, and laughed: "Just you? I'll talk about it after I win! ”

"Yo! The temper is not small. Gao Yun was quite upset by his provocation, "Then let's compete!" ”

Yin Ji continued to immerse himself in washing Master's feet, and said, "When I finish washing Master's feet, you will have it!" ”

"That's it!" Lu Zuo said sharply, "Brother Xian, I asked you to come, I have something important to tell you!" - Ji'er is okay, put it away, wash it here today! ”

Yin Ji handed the master a towel and took the footbath away.

Gao Yun asked, "What's wrong with the eldest brother?" What's the matter? ”
