An Shiqing looked at Lu Zuo and lowered his voice, for fear that the wall would have ears, "King Wei has been put under house arrest by the saint!" ”

Everyone looked at An Shiqing in horror and asked, "Why is it so sudden?" ”

"You listen to me slowly...... An Shiqing then explained the cause and effect of the incident to everyone from beginning to end. The crowd was stunned and angry.

Lu Zuo listened with bated breath, but his mind had already begun to turn over the river and think about it, he didn't expect things to be really as he expected, although King Wei was embarrassed, but he didn't expect him to make such a mistake! When Lu Zuo thought of this, he felt that it was wrong, how could it be?

"Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu? An Shiqing interrupted Lu Zuo's contemplation, "My father specially asked me to come and tell you. There is also whether you can go to the house to talk about it. ”

Lu Zuo nodded in agreement, "That's very good!" ”

An Shiqing didn't want to delay any longer, "I already prepared the carriage when I came, and for the sake of safety, I let the carriage stop outside the back door of the inn." Without further ado, go now! ”

Gao Yun and the others also wanted to go, but they were stopped by Lu Zuo, "Now the situation is still unclear, you don't have to follow me." And now that you are all on the gold list, there may be an official from the yamen to spread the good news, so you should stay here. ”

So Lu Zuo accompanied An Shiqing to Pingyuanbo's mansion alone.

An Yuanshan has been waiting in the hall for a long time uneasily, although this time King Wei was under house arrest, he will not be implicated, but Lu Zuo is the biggest victim of this case, for a talent like Lu Zuo, An Yuanshan really likes it tightly, although he has rarely been involved in the court dispute before, but he knows how dangerous it is. And now this teenager has been caught up in this maelstrom, and it is even possible that his life is in danger at any time. His position is high and powerful, although he can keep it safe for a while, but Lu Zuo, a smart young man, is likely to be regarded as an ant by those people anytime and anywhere.

An Yuanshan waited anxiously in the hall for a long time, and as soon as he saw Lu Zuo enter the door, he looked up and down at the thin young man in front of him, but from his eyes, he couldn't see the slightest loss and anxiety, but his brows were furrowed and his expression was nervous.

After An Shiqing closed the door, Lu Zuo saw that there was no one around, only An Yuanshan was waiting for him in a panic, he couldn't help but be a little moved, stepped forward and bowed his hand, and said: "I didn't expect An Bo to be so concerned about me as a pariah, and the younger generation is really grateful." ”

An Yuanshan hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Zuo, who was about to kneel, and said with relief: "Mr. Lu is a genius in the world, and the old man is especially afraid to cherish it!" Sit down. ”

The two did not sit separately from the host and guest, but sat opposite each other according to the guest seat, and An Shiqing stood behind his father.

Lu Zuo arched his hand and asked, "The lord called me here, I don't know what to say?" ”

"You must have known about this time, so the old man won't repeat it." An Yuanshan slowly calmed down, "The biggest victim of this scientific expedition is you, to be honest, the old man is really sad for the world." It's sad that my big man will lose a rare talent who assists the heavens and the earth! ”

Lu Zuo arched his hand and said gratefully: "The lord is serious, whether you can pass the exam or not is God's will, since you have already failed the list, you can only wait for three years to regroup and work hard." ”

"Providence?" An Yuanshan asked rhetorically, "Mr. Lu, do you believe that this scientific expedition case is the will of heaven?" ”

Lu Zuo was silent for a long time before he slowly replied: "The younger generation would rather this be the will of heaven!" ”

An Shiqing couldn't wait to ask: "Oh! In this way, Mr. Lu, do you also think there is something strange about this incident? ”

An Yuanshan continued: "Don't hide it from Mr. Lu, I also think this matter is worth scrutinizing. Although the King of Wei did not understand that the results of the scientific expedition needed to be divided according to the provinces, could the scholars who had been in the sea for a long time not know anything? Wouldn't he try his best to advise the King of Wei about the stakes? ”

Lu Zuo bowed his head thoughtfully and was silent, and then replied slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, those scholars have already been bought!" ”

Although An Yuanshan was angry after hearing this, he was not surprised, "Then who is going to do this?" Who is going to frame the King of Wei and you again? ”

"I guess you know this, sir. If you want to frame King Wei, it is possible for the crown prince and King Ning to do this, but if you want to push me into the fire pit by the way, I think only Xun Mou and the prince will do it! ”

When An Yuanshan saw Lu Zuo say, there was no trace of resentment in his expression, his tone was so flat that it made people feel like an outsider, it seems that this Lu Zuo is by no means a mediocre person, in this situation, he can be calm like this, how many people can there be in this world. An Yuanshan also seemed to have an understanding at this moment, and said, "You mean that from the beginning, all this was arranged?" ”

"Hmm!" Lu Zuo nodded, "From the beginning of the prince and Xun Mou's alliance as party friends, including our final defection to the King of Wei, it has been in their calculations. Of course, it is impossible for the crown prince to do it to you now! ”

An Shiqing was even more puzzled, and said: "How is it possible, he just calculated that we would surrender to King Wei?" ”

Lu Zuo said lightly: "It's not difficult to guess, I also told your father, after all, King Wei needs us the most, and we need King Wei the most." Without King Wei, our situation would be even more dangerous. ”

An Yuanshan sighed, looked at Lu Zuo guiltily, and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, it's me who has caused you!" ”

"The lord is serious, it should be me who should say I'm sorry, in fact, the younger generation has already calculated that the King of Wei will come to you, and it was I who persuaded you to surrender to the King of Wei, you should say I'm sorry, it's the younger generation."

An Yuanshan waved his hand and shook his head to show that he didn't have to be so polite, "You can't say that, I'm also a reasonable person." What's more, the old man doesn't dare to say that he is the pillar of the country, but he is also a meritorious man, as long as the other party doesn't have any handle on me, they don't dare to do anything to the old man! ”

Lu Zuo nodded his hand to express his gratitude, and then said, "But in my opinion, the princes just want to use me to get rid of King Wei." ”

"yes!" Pingyuan Bo'an Yuanshan's eyes showed a worried look, "This is exactly what the old man is worried about, right now you have no merit and no backing, I'm afraid that Xun Mou's gang will be unfavorable to you!" ”

An Shiqing answered: "That's right! Now that King Wei has been placed under house arrest, what should he do next? ”

Lu Zuo pondered for a long time, yes! What's next? Is it really desperate? Now that the King of Wei is under house arrest, if he wants to turn over, whether it is with the saint's temperament or the treachery of the prince, it is difficult to turn over, and the King of Wei is a person who can't hold his breath, I'm afraid that he himself will not be able to protect himself. At present, it seems that only King Ning's strength can compete with it, but now that he has fallen to Sun Shan, and King Ning's temperament is difficult to predict, how can he obey the orders of a scholar like me, who has no merit?
