Chapter Eighty-Four: Kill them all
Lu Zuo saw Lao Pan asking, so he contemplated it, there was always a vague sense of foreboding, a few days ago he sent someone to spy on him, indicating that the other party had some suspicions, tonight's assassination attempt can be seen, indicating that it is coming at himself, not long after the man in black fled tonight, seeing that Yin Ji did not pursue, he led people to rush in again, this is obviously to use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, so anxious to get rid of himself, it must be Xun Mou has been on guard, no! They're not going to give up tonight. Lu Zuo then ordered: "Lao Pan, you can dispose of these corpses and leave two on my bed!" ”
When Lao Pan and Yin Ji heard this, their jaws were about to fall off, "Huh? Sir, this ...... How are you going to sleep on this? ”
"Don't make a noise, Tao Qian and I can't sleep tonight, let's wait to go to the 'Xinghua Restaurant' to rest, none of you can make a noise, once something happens here, you immediately go to the 'Xinghua Restaurant' to tell me, remember?"
Lao Pan agreed, so he didn't continue to ask.
Xinghua Restaurant is brightly lit and has not yet closed. The two shopkeepers were still yawning, sitting at the counter as if they were asleep. Lu Zuo took Yin Ji to the counter, and just wanted to speak, the guy subconsciously opened his eyes and looked at Lu Zuo, and said with spirit: "This official, there is a guest room upstairs, I will arrange it for you if you need it!" ”
Yin Ji suddenly flashed in front of Lu Zuo and joked, "Don't you recognize me?" ”
The guy woke up from a dream, "Oh, it's you!" Then you are Mr. Tao! Seeing that there was no one around, the man whispered again, "The prince has already ordered, you two can choose any room, you have offended a few days ago!" ”
Another guy also quickly stood up and saluted, "The two of you came to the restaurant so late, are you looking for the prince?" ”
Lu Zuo smiled and said: "It's nothing, the door of the house is closed, and the subordinates can't open the door when they sleep too deeply, so come and find a room to sit in." ”
"Well said, well said! What kind of room do you want to command? I'll take you two upstairs! The guy laughed.
"Just be sober! By the way, if someone from my house comes to me later, please ask the two guys to help bring it. ”
The guy really arranged a simple and spacious room for Lu Zuo, and the guy boiled a pot of tea again and put it on the round table in the center of the room, and then said goodbye.
Lu Zuo saw that Yin Ji's child was yawning and sleepy, so he said, "Qian'er, you go to sleep first!" ”
Yin Ji held back his sleepiness, shook his head, wanted to sober himself up, and then smiled: "Master, I'm not sleepy, didn't you say that there is danger tonight!" I want to protect you! ”
Lu Zuo shook his head and sighed after hearing this: "Hey! If it weren't for the fact that the tendons and tendons were broken by Xun Mou, resulting in the loss of martial arts, it would be right to protect you for the teacher now! It's a pity that after 20 years of martial arts training for the teacher, he was abolished by Xun Mou in vain, so that he can't carry his hands and shoulders now! ”
Yin Ji saw that the master was rarely excited, so he comforted: "So we must move to the prince, kill Xun Mou, and avenge the master." ”
Lu Zuo was silent, was that reminiscing? Or contemplation? Or is it planning? Yin Ji couldn't see Master's thoughts anymore, but felt that familiar feeling was back.
There was a gong sound outside Xining Street, and the tea in Lu Zuo's cup was already cold, Yin Ji sat next to Lu Zuo, lying on the table and falling asleep. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Yin Ji was also awakened instantly, glanced at the master, and invariably looked at the door.
There was a knock on the door, and at the same time the voice of the man came, "Mr. Tao, your housekeeper is here!" ”
Yin Ji's originally tense nerves were relieved for a moment, and Lu Zuo motioned for Yin Ji to open the door, and sure enough, there was a gray-faced old Pan standing next to the guy.
Seeing him look so depressed, Lu Zuo couldn't help but stand up and ask, "What's wrong with Lao Pan?" Something happened at home! ”
Lao Pan was obviously frightened, and he was already sweating all over, he gasped for breath, swallowed his saliva, and said in a dumb voice: "Out of ...... Something's wrong! ......"
Lu Zuo saw that his throat was hoarse and his mouth was dry, so he hurriedly handed a glass of water to Lao Pan. After Lao Pan swallowed, he cleared his throat and said, "It's on fire!" ”
Yin Ji and Lu Zuo asked in unison, "Where is the fire?" ”
Lao Pan slapped his thigh with his hands angrily and helplessly, "Ouch, where else can it be, our house is on fire!" The firewood house and the main house are on fire, and now the neighbors over there are helping to put out the fire! ”
After hearing this, Lu Zuo sat on the stool with a gloomy face, "He really knows about it in such a hurry." ”
Lao Pan and the others didn't understand what he was talking about, Lao Pan was already angry, and said: "I don't know which one suffered a thousand knives so miserable, and the assassination can't be set on fire." Fortunately, God has eyes, sir, you have the foresight to come and live here, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Yin Ji slapped the table even more, "It's too much, Master, why don't I go and find out these people?" ”
"Not necessarily!" Lu Zuo raised his hand, and a sly smile appeared on his face, "Tomorrow as a teacher will surprise them!" ”
The Prince's Mansion was shrouded in darkness, and there was silence inside and outside the courtyard, and no cicadas and insects could be heard, only the sound of pacing back and forth in the study. After drinking a few cups of tea with Xun Yu, father and son and Xu Bingde in the study, they were so energetic that they simply didn't sleep, waiting for news in the prince's study. The crown prince Liu Yan went back to the house early to sleep, and sent someone to tell him if there was any news.
At this time, the summer night was compared with the day, and the study was unusually hot, so Xun Mou simply left the door of the study open, so that there could be some cool breeze in the courtyard. Xu Bingde saw that Xun Mou was so anxious, so he put down the teacup in his hand, and said impatiently at the corner of his mouth: "General Xun is a little restless, it's only the fifth watch now, and it must not be so fast." ”
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps from far and near, Deng Zhuo, who was dressed in black, strode into the study, and saw that the three adults were there, and when they were about to clasp their fists and salute, Xun Mou couldn't wait to ask: "How is the matter going?" ”
Deng Zhuo smiled flatteringly, "It's already done!" ”
Xun Yu and Xu Bingde also stood up in unison, walked behind Xun Mou, and also gathered around Deng Zhuo and asked, "Can you ask clearly?" Is the owner of Tao Mansion Lu Zuo? ”
"It shouldn't be wrong, when the first assassin sent by his subordinates went, he was stopped by that young man, the Zhan Lu sword in that person's hand, and his subordinates turned into ashes, they also recognized it, it was Yin Ji's kid's sword, since Yin Ji called that person his master, it must be Lu Zuo, it can't be wrong!" Deng Zhuo said with certainty.
Xun Mou then asked, "Can you see your face clearly?" ”
Deng Zhuo hesitated, "I didn't see it clearly when the black light was blind!" But when I heard Yin Ji call him Master, it would definitely not be wrong! ”
"And what about the back? How do people die?"
