Lu Zuo thought about it for a long time, but he never got the point, could it be that King Ning preferred his brother Liu Xingyuan? None of this makes sense! It stands to reason that I can't interfere in this matter, and I don't have time to intervene, after all, I am now caught in the battle between King Ning and the crown prince, if I am distracted to think about these problems, I am afraid that I will be on the verge of the contradiction between King Ning's father and son at that time.

"Master, Master......"

Yin Ji screamed a few times before Lu Zuo came back to his senses.

Lu Zuo's face was a little pale, after a day of exhaustion, his forehead began to sweat again, and his feet didn't seem to obey the call and always wanted to sit down, Lu Zuo looked pained, and said softly, "Ji'er, come and help me, let me sit under this tree for a while!" ”

"What's wrong?" Yin Ji asked eagerly, and helped the master to sit under the big tree, "It seems that I have always seen Master and you are distracted these days, but you were not like this before!" ”

"Really?" Lu Zuo smiled, "Maybe I'm thinking too much!" ”

"I think you're just too tired! Let's go back and have a good rest, Brother Pang, it's not too late to wait until tomorrow! ”

Although Lu Zuo felt that Yin Ji was reasonable, but it was not okay not to go now, "No, today Brother Pang was awarded the rank of Huaihua by the Holy Lord, this position is estimated that he himself did not expect, he is a person who is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and suddenly got this official position, it is estimated that he is in the room at this time, and he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot!" Now we must wait for us to tell him what to do next! ”

Yin Ji pouted and smiled: "Brother Pang's luck is really good, he has only been in the capital for a few days, and now he has actually mixed with the Huaihua rank of the sixth-grade official!" After that, he laughed at himself, "Hey...... Master, you said that I also played very well today, why didn't I get a half-official position? ”

"What? Ji'er, you're also starting to become an official fan? Lu Zuo laughed.

"Do you still want to serve the master, so you don't want to be an official! It's just that when I competed with the second brother today, I kept letting him, otherwise the second brother wouldn't even be able to pass my level! Yin Ji raised his chin triumphantly as he spoke.

Lu Zuo patted Yin Ji's shoulder, "I've worked hard for you today, go back and let the chef in our house cook something for you!" ”

Yin Ji smiled again in the dark night and showed two rows of white teeth, "Thank you, Master!" I want to eat...... Mutton! ”

"Yo!" Lu Zuo sneered, "This is what the rich eat!" ”

"Master, I want it! It's been a long time since I've eaten lamb! ”

"Really? Didn't you eat enough in the school military field yesterday? ”

Yin Ji smiled, "That...... That doesn't count! ”

"Good ......," Lu Zuo admitted, "Help me up first, let's go to Brother Pang's room first!" ”

Yin Ji asked with concern: "Master is not better now, if not, let's sit for a while?" ”

"No need! It's almost the second watch now, and after we go to Brother Pang's house early, we can go back to rest early! ”

"But......" Yin Ji looked around and saw that there was silence in the courtyard, so he asked in a low voice, "Master, did you say that no one is following us now, and if we are found to have dealings with Brother Pang, will it make people suspicious?" ”

Lu Zuo smiled happily: "Ji'er is getting more and more careful now!" ”

"Master, don't make fun of me anymore, I'm telling you seriously!" Yin Ji looked serious.

"Don't worry, Xinghua Restaurant is very safe here, but it is estimated that someone has already known about our relationship with Pang Gu, and there is nothing to avoid now!" Lu Zuo said, stretched out his right hand, "Come, hurry up and help me, I want to get up......"

Yin Ji helped the master, slowly stood up, and then dusted off the dust behind the master, and the master and apprentice walked towards the restaurant and the guest hall.

Passing through the small courtyard and coming to the guest hall, it was suddenly clear that although the lights in the courtyard were dotted, it was only enough to see the way clearly, and the candlelight in the guest hall was bright, shining like day. At this time, it was already the second watch, so there were no guests in the living room. As soon as I walked into the guest hall, I saw a shopkeeper sitting on a chair by the stairs dozing, holding a kettle in his hand, the spout was facing down, and the water in the pot was dripping out from time to time because of Xiao Er's sleeping position.

Lu Zuo was about to take a look and walked to the front of the stairs, when he suddenly heard "Cangchangchang", and then made an "ah" sound, it turned out that the kettle of the little second brother fell to the ground, waking the shopkeeper from his sleep. The shopkeeper found that the ground was full of water, and he stomped his feet in a hurry, and when he looked up again, there were two people in front of him who were snickering on the side, so anxious that the shopkeeper's face was red, and when he looked at it again, it turned out that he was still an acquaintance, isn't this the old man Lu who lives in the next house!

The shopkeeper hurriedly played a round, "Let Mr. Lu laugh, laugh!" I was really sleepy, and there was no one at this time, so I slept for a while! ”

"Go ahead!" Lu Zuo pointed upstairs and asked, "That guest officer named Pang Gu can live upstairs?" ”

"Are you talking about the huge man who participated in the competition today and won the second place?" The shopkeeper asked rhetorically.

Lu Zuo bowed slightly, "It's him!" ”

The shopkeeper's expression changed abruptly, "Don't provoke him, today our restaurant is about to be broken by all the dignitaries of the court, and they are all here to find the big people, but they are all rejected by him, and even I am scolded by him." Then he muttered incomprehensibly, "He's such a weirdo!" ”

Lu Zuo smiled kindly: "It's okay, I'm his friend......"

"Don't ......," the shopkeeper waved his hand noncommittally, "I came here today, I said so, I see that you are a frequent customer here, and the acting boss also said that you are a distinguished guest, and the small one will let you go up, so you should go knock on the door by yourself!" ”

Yin Ji smiled teasingly: "Little second brother, dare you to guard the door for Brother Huge here?" ”

"Otherwise, it's all at this time, why am I still laying my eyelids here! If I don't stay here......" The shopkeeper said as he pointed to the stairs behind him, "This staircase can be trampled on today!" The first two came to visit in the evening, and they were persuaded to leave, but then there were more people who visited, and people became impatient, and one of them was scolded by the huge man. As he spoke, he lowered his voice again, as if he was afraid of being heard upstairs, "This master upstairs is really not easy to mess with, just this bull's temper, Mr. Lu, I advise you not to go up and provoke." ”

Lu Zuo and Yin Ji looked at each other and smiled, "Then let's do this first, the little second brother has worked hard, Ji'er, reward ......"

Yin Ji smiled and took out a few copper plates from his sleeve to reward, and the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he made a gesture of invitation with a smile, and said, "Mr. Lu, please, I'm afraid that people will sleep when it's late." ”
