Under the scorching afternoon sun, a servant was galloping away in a carriage to the western suburbs of the capital, and laughter was loud in the carriage. An old deep voice smiled: "Go far, go far, do you see it, my father didn't look away this time." ”

The person who spoke was Liu Xun, the king of Ning, and yesterday someone came to report overnight that Lu Zuo had recovered as before, and this news made Liu Xun instantly feel like a treasure, and he was excited. Liu Xun was busy with the matter at hand, and after lunch, he and his two sons couldn't wait to visit Lu Zuo.

Liu Xingzhi still asked his father with a puzzled face: "Father, did you say that this Lu Zuo can help us?" Why are you so interested in him? ”

Liu Xun stroked his beard, smiled and asked Liu Xingyuan: "Xingyuan, do you think it's worth saving this Lu Zuo?" ”

Liu Xingyuan replied with a smile: "Of course, this Mr. Lu is talented, if King Wei didn't make that kind of low-level mistake in this year's Changke, then the top champion is none other than Lu Zuo." And again......"

"Alright, alright!" Liu Xingzhi was quite disdainful to stop his brother from continuing, "There's no need for you to say so much. ”

Liu Xingyuan looked at his father quite embarrassed, Liu Xun frowned and stopped Liu Xingzhi: "You kid, how did you talk to your brother." What's more, what your brother said is right, okay, I said that you are smarter than your brother, but this belly is far from enough! ”

Liu Xingzhi turned his head and snorted lightly, muttering, "I know that I favor the eldest brother." ”

The carriage stopped in front of the mountain gate of Kuji Temple, and Liu Xun walked in front of the carriage like a fly. When the little novices in front of the mountain gate saw that it was King Ning's father and son, they politely stepped forward and saluted: "The three donors, our ancestor said, they are waiting for the three of them in the 'Peach Crane Pavilion'. ”

The father and son hurried to the "Peach Crane Xuan", and saw Lu Zuo, the old Zen master and the three of them drinking tea in the lobby, and then walked in to take a look, Liu Xun father and son looked at Lu Zuo carefully back and forth, and couldn't help but be stunned, is the person sitting in front of him still Lu Zuo? The face that was originally full of scars could not be seen at all, and the thin face was much fuller than before, and the hair was tied in a crown, which was almost the same as half a month ago.

Lu Zuo was still calm and calm, as if he had seen through the thoughts of the three of them, so he stood up and bowed to King Ning, "Lord Wang, the grass people are polite." ”

When Lu Zuo stood up, Liu Xun was so frightened that he took two steps back, feeling incredible, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Are you really Mr. Lu?" ”

Lu Zuo smiled, "If it's fake, what's the matter?" Don't recognize you? ”

"Why has it changed so much? It's like a different person. Liu Xingzhi and Liu Xingyuan couldn't believe their eyes.

"The stab wound on my face was too severe, and Mr. Mizuki helped me remove the scar again."

Liu Xingyuan also smiled: "It's fatter than before!" ”

"For more than half a month, I have been lying down with good food and drink every day, can I not get fat!" Lu Zuo said half-jokingly, seeing that everyone was so happy, he completely forgot what Mr. Shuiyue had said before.

Liu Xingzhi congratulated with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to Mr. Lu!" ”

Lu Zuo waved his hand, "It's not called Lu Zuo now!" ”

"Why is that?" Liu Xun couldn't wait to ask.

"To do it cheaply, of course!" Lu Zuo glanced at the two white cranes chasing each other under the peach tree outside the eaves, "Now you can call me Tao He!" ”

Liu Xingzhi clapped his hands and applauded, "This is a good name, now Lu Xian ...... Oh no! Mr. Tao has returned again, it will be more convenient to change his name and identity, this is really a makeover, and now it looks like this, even the prince and others can't recognize your appearance. ”

Liu Xun said happily: "Since Mr. Tao has recovered, it is better to move to King Ning's Mansion today, eat and live with this king, and this king should consult Mr. sooner or later." I wonder what Mr. Tao thinks? ”

"I thanked the prince first, not in the next to thin your feelings, but in the next is really used to being alone, so ......"

Liu Xun nodded, a little undecided, so he reluctantly said: "Okay, in that case, the old man will find an apartment for you, and do his best for Mr. Tao." ”

Lu Zuo also knew what he meant, if he thinned his face again, it would be a little toasting and not eating and drinking, so he smiled and said: "Then there is Lord Lao, it is best to find a place to live closer to the prince!" ”

"Yes, yes, this matter will be on this king, and the king of tomorrow will send someone to inform you of your residence." Liu Xun was overjoyed, "Mr. Tao, now that you have recovered, you can see if you need this king to arrange a position with you, so that it will be easier to act in the future." ”

Lu Zuo also thought about this problem, he suffered a loss before and suffered in the absence of an official and a half-position, and let others slaughter him, and now although he has King Ning as a backer, it is also the most convenient if he is lost to protect the handsome, so he has to seek an official and a half-position, thinking that for his own sake, but once he is involved in the officialdom from behind the scenes, once his identity is revealed, then he needs to take a risk?

Lu Zuo hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up his mind, the pros and cons were difficult to explain, so he replied casually: "Listen to the prince's arrangement!" ”

At this time, Mr. Shui Yue stood up and bowed his hand to the old Zen master, and said, "Master, since your apprentice has recovered, and I have also explained to my niece, I am ready to leave today." ”

Therefore, the Zen master's face sank, and he stood up and folded his mind to recite the Buddha, "Brother Shuiyue, the old man is a monk, and I hope to see you again in the future." ”

Lu Zuo hurriedly knelt in front of Mr. Shuiyue, "Why is Mr. so anxious, let's stay for a few more days, thanks to your rescue these days, there is only today for the juniors, please let the juniors serve you for a few more days." ”

"No need! You and I are destined, and the old man's niece didn't misread the wrong person, but the old man's instructions, can you remember it sooner or later? Mr. Shui Yue was a little emotional when he spoke, these days of getting along, he knew that Lu Zuo, this young man, was burdened with a heavy burden, and he was also a loyal and filial person, but the pain he endured was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Lu Zuo was already in tears, "The younger generation will remember it in my heart!" But don't you just go away, don't you say goodbye to the county lord? ”

Mr. Shui Yue waved his hand, his jaw trembled a little because of his emotions, and he said in a low voice: "No need! If Jingruo's little girl knows, the old man won't be able to leave. ”

"In that case, the seniors should be worshiped by the juniors." Lu Zuo couldn't help but kowtow, "I wonder if I will be able to see you in the future?" ”

Mr. Shuiyue smiled, his face was quite helpless, I don't know how this kid will continue in the past two or three years, and it will be difficult to have another chance, but he still nodded, and smiled awkwardly and sadly, "Maybe there is still a chance!" ”

Everyone bowed their heads and looked sad, Yin Ji also stepped forward and knelt next to the master, and also kowtowed to Mr. Shui Yue, "Grandpa Divine Doctor, thank you!" When I grow up, I will definitely go to see your old man. ”

Mr. Shui Yue smiled slightly, stroked Yin Ji's head, and then took two letters from his arms, "The old man has two letters here, one is for Jingruo, and the other is for the old man's younger brother, so please help me deliver it on my behalf." ”
