Chapter 124: Advance and Retreat
In the hall of King Ning's Mansion, King Ning Liu Xun was holding scissors in his hand, and he was complacently playing with the potted plants on the Duobao Pavilion, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not fade away for a long time from the time he returned to the house to the present, yes! Liu Xun hasn't found such a feeling for a long time, and now it seems that he made the right decision to carefully rescue Lu Zuo, at the time it seemed that it was a risky act, but now looking back, this is simply picking up a big bargain from the mouth of the prince and tiger, since he has Lu Zuo as a think tank, it seems that in just one month, earth-shaking changes have taken place, and the prince still doesn't know his situation, this is a master! But? Liu Xun frowned, thought about it, and found something wrong, but I can't tell what it feels like, right! In just one month, how did Lu Zuo do it? Who is he? Now I have to have another question about his life experience, according to him, he is just a mountain village man in a small place in Shanzhou, but from his speech and demeanor, as well as his vision, and even his connections, it can be said that his hands and eyes are all over the sky, just imagine how a mountain village man can let so many heroes obey him, and how can he get acquainted with the minister of the humerus and the old Zen master? And he has also become his closed disciple, you must know that the Zen master has long been a monk and does not care about the world! You have to ask him about all this in person to understand.
Liu Xun was thinking about it, he was awakened by the footsteps outside the courtyard, raised his head, looked at the figure flashing outside the courtyard, the smile on the corner of Liu Xun's mouth hung up again, he rushed to the eaves of the porch, bowed deeply to Lu Zuo, and did his best.
Lu Zuo also hurriedly bowed deeply and returned the salute, "Lord Wang, this is a torment!" How dare I accept such a great gift! ”
Liu Xun smiled, "Mr. Lu is polite!" And rightfully so! Come on, come on, ......" Liu Xun stepped forward to hold Lu Zuo's hand, smiled at Yin Ji, and then motioned for the housekeeper to step back, and then led the two of them into the hall with great strides.
After the guests and hosts took their seats, Yin Ji still stood behind the master and did not speak. Lu Zuo asked politely: "I don't know if the prince is summoning me, what's the matter?" ”
Liu Xun smiled: "There is nothing wrong, but there are a few things that I don't understand, I want to ask Mr. Lu!" ”
Lu Zuo also guessed eight or nine points, but still said politely: "The prince doesn't have to be polite, you are the lord, I am the minister, if you have any questions, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"The person named Pang Gu today, was it invited by you, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Zuo smiled slightly, and didn't want to hide too much, it was estimated that Lao Pan had already told him in secret, so he nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”
Liu Xun saw that Lu Zuo was honest with each other, and he was very relieved in his heart, so he had the heart to continue asking, after all, Pang Gu was such a powerful character, everyone was curious, "Then who is he?" ”
"It's no different, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is talented, and it doesn't happen overnight to have today's world-beating martial arts, but he has always been hidden in the rivers and lakes, so very few people know about him. This time, I was also invited to participate in the competition. ”
"So, this competition to select a coach, it can be said that Mr. Lu, you ......," Liu Xun said and lowered his voice, "Is it the game you arranged single-handedly?" ”
Lu Zuo smiled and nodded.
Liu Xun gave Lu Zuo a thumbs up and praised again and again, "Gao, Mr. Lu, your trick is really high!" ”
"The prince has an overreputation, this is just one of the moves, and then taking back Shanzhou and winning this battle is the most important thing." Lu Zuo said with a stern expression.
Liu Xun frowned and said, "Then are you sure to win this expedition?" After all, even Xun Mou, who is known as invincible, is planted in Shanzhou. ”
Lu Zuo nodded confidently, "Everything is under my control!" ”
"But ......" Liu Xun wanted to speak and stopped.
"The prince just said it directly, there is no need to be obscure!"
Liu Xun smiled: "Is this Gao Yun reliable?" This king has heard that his brother Gao Han is very close to the crown prince! In case he is the crown prince's ......"
Lu Zuo smiled slyly, "Don't worry about this, I naturally have my own way!" The most important thing for you now is not to get too close to Gao Yun! ”
Liu Xun nodded in agreement, and asked again: "Then if you are not in Jingshi next, how should this king deal with it?" ”
Lu Zuo lowered his head and thought, "Well...... During the time when I left, the prince must not form a party for personal gain, and every morning after the court is finished and the business trip is completed, he will go back to the house and close his door and not fight with the prince. Can the prince do it? ”
"Mr. Lu can rest assured, this king will do it!" Liu asked, "I don't know how long it will take for Mr. Lu to recover Shanzhou?" ”
Lu Zuo was also a little hesitant, how long would it take? I don't have an exact time to guarantee, but I must do it as soon as possible, not at the border for too long, otherwise it is likely to fall into another predicament, and I was silent for a moment before saying: "We can only solve the battle situation as soon as possible, it's too early to say this!" ”
"Hmmm! Then the king is waiting for Mr. Lu's good news! Liu Xun smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, there is one more thing that this king has always wanted to ask you!" ”
Lu Zuowei nodded, "Why is the prince so polite today?" ”
Liu Xun laughed, "It's nothing important, I just want to ask Mr. if you are from Shanzhou?" ”
Lu Zuo's face sank instantly, but at that moment, the moment he realized that something was wrong with him, Lu Zuo immediately pretended to be fine, but he still felt a trace of surprise in his heart, it seemed that King Ning was a little suspicious of himself, this is not a good thing, so he pretended to be indifferent, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, why did you start caring about this?" ”
"Nope!" Liu Xun's eyes were fixed on Lu Zuo's eyes, wanting to see a slight change in his eyes, "If Mr. Lu doesn't want to say it, then forget it!" ”
Lu Zuo smiled secretly in his heart, King Ning's move is clearly to advance and retreat, if he doesn't give him an explanation today, I'm afraid that King Ning will send someone to check his old bottom, so he smiled and said: "The prince is serious, our family was originally from the Jiangnan area, and then my grandfather and father died one after another, so my mother took us all the way north to distant relatives, and then moved to Lujiazhuang in Shanzhou!" It's just that that period of the past is very unbearable, so our own family rarely mentions it, let alone someone else! ”
After that, Lu Zuo's expression was sad, and Liu Xun didn't see anything wrong, so he sympathized and bowed to Lu Zuoyi, "I'm really sorry for arousing your sadness!" Since Mr. Lu's mother is still alive, why don't you invite you to live in the capital together? This splendid Kyoto has everything, and you can also honor the old mother's knees! ”
"That's what I said! But my mother is old and frail, and her hometown is far away from the capital, so I'm afraid that her old man can't stand the pain of the journey! Moreover, her old man is in Shanzhou, and she is used to the mountains and rivers there, so let her mother leave her homeland and come here again, but she is afraid of homesickness! Lu Zuo said with a smile, "I have also written to the family before, and my mother herself said that she is strong and can take care of herself, so I will put this matter aside for the time being." ”
