Go back to before Lu Hai was killed. That night, Fan Li was on duty in the palace.

He and Zimei exiled the last batch of sacred trees to Mudu, and Zimei returned to the palace incognito. Fortunately, more than a year after she left the palace, everything in the palace was safe and nothing serious.

Fan Li said to Zimei that he had been away for more than a year, and he wanted to meet Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. It's not just an inspection job, it's also an emotional need, and he's been away for so long, and he's missing the girls so much.

Zimei said: "There is no problem with this, I will arrange it." When does Fan Jun plan to meet Xi Shi? ”

Fan Li said: "It's now." ”

Zimei said: "Then wait for a while, and after King Wu goes to bed, I can let Xi Shi come over." ”

Fan Li said: "Okay, let's wait a little longer." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a noisy sound at the gate of the palace, Fan Li hurried over and said loudly, "What happened?" ”

I only heard a soldier say in a panic: "Go back to my lord, something big happened on the construction site." ”

Fan Li: "Don't worry, say it slowly, what's wrong?" ”

The soldier said, "Lord Lu Hai fell into a deep ditch." ”

Fan Li only felt that his head "buzzed". Hurriedly asked, "How is Lord Lu Hai?" There is no danger. ”

The soldier said: "I don't know for the time being, everyone found that the adult fell into the deep ditch, immediately organized rescue, and sent me to report the news." ”

Fan Li said to one of his chamberlains, "Go and report this to the king." ”

"Yes!"

Fan Li turned to Zimei: "Zimeijun will go to the construction site with me." I might need your help. ”

Zimei said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Fan Li said: "Can you not let others see you?" ”

Zimei said: "No problem, only you can see me, no one else can see me." ”

Fan Li said: "Okay. Then he said to the soldier who had come to report the news, "Go, take me to the construction site." The soldiers took the lead, Fan Li and Zimei followed, and the three of them rode out of the city and came straight to the Gusutai construction site.

Fan Li asked the soldier: "What's your name?" ”

The soldier said, "The little one is called Luo Zichen." Lord Lu Hai's personal entourage, responsible for illuminating the daily life of adults. ”

Fan Li said: "Luo Zichen, when Lord Lu Hai had an accident, were you at the scene?" Tell me about the situation. ”

Luo Zichen said: "Lord Lu Hai usually goes back to Xiangguo's Mansion for the night, and it is only ten miles away, and he can arrive in a blink of an eye on horseback. But sometimes there are many things, and adults will stay at the construction site headquarters. Today Shenmu is exiled, and the lord is very happy, he wants to arrange a lot of new sections to start, so he said that he will not be in Xiangguofu tonight, and will spend the night at the construction site. I fetched food, let the adults eat it on the construction site, and then walked to the headquarters. It was supposed to be me, because I usually lead the way in front of adults. But tonight the adults were happy, and walked quickly in front of me. As soon as I got on the small bridge, I heard an exclamation from an adult, and I fell down. ”

Fan Li said: "Who else was there at that time? ”

Luo Zichen said: "There was also Chang Geng present at the time, who was Lord Lu Hai's assistant. I've been following Lord Lu Hai's side, getting a ruler and drawing for the adult. When something happens, they will mumble and discuss it together for a long time? ”

Fan Li: "What else is there about Chang Gung?" ”

Luo Zichen said: "There are no special circumstances. It was Lord Lu Hai who would arrange for Chang Gung to work, sometimes arrange for him to go to the carpentry site to work for a few months, sometimes arrange for him to work at the masonry site for a year, and arrange for him to work in the blacksmith furnace for a while. I think that's a bit weird. I asked Lord Lu Hai. ”

Fan Li said: "What did Lord Lu Hai say? ”

Luo Zichen said: "Lord Lu Hai said: "Those who are engaged in engineering not only have to move their mouths, but more importantly, they can do it themselves, and you Luo Zichen also have to work." ”

Fan Li said: "Luo Zichen, have you gone to work?" ”

Luo Zichen said: "Go and do it." I've been following adults for four or five years, and I've never stopped working. ”

Fan Li said: "Then tell me, what level of your craftsmanship is now?" ”

Luo Zichen said: "I don't boast at all, all the crafts below, carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths, and masons, are no worse than any craftsman on the construction site, and even better than their craftsmanship." ”

Fan Li said: "Okay! Also, you have been following Lord Lu Hai for a few years, can you understand the drawings? ”

Luo Zichen said: "Yes." I understand the arrangement and deployment of the entire project and the technical requirements of each part, because Lord Lu Hai explains to us in detail every time. ”

Fan Li said: "Okay. Luo Zichen, this time Lu Hai unfortunately had an accident. If Lord Lu Hai unfortunately dies or is disabled, can you be responsible for directing the completion of the project? ”

Luo Zichen pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, I can't. I know what I'm capable of. When it comes to hands-on, no matter what kind of craft it is, there are not many people in the world who are stronger than me. As for conducting projects, I am at such a level that as long as someone gives me a plan, I can command it 100 percent. But if I want to be creative and come up with the whole plan, I can't do that. ”

When Fan Li saw this Luo Zichen, his thinking was clear, his expression was smooth, and his logic was rigorous. As soon as I listened to it, I felt the temperament of an excellent craftsman. He said: "Luo Zichen, then tell me, who can have such an ability?" ”

Luo Zichen shook his head and said, "I don't know this, only Lord Lu Hai can know this." But as far as I can speculate, Chang Gung should have this ability. In terms of hands-on, Chang Gung is slightly worse than me, but I found that Lord Lu Hai often discusses with Chang Gung about the overall layout of the project and the docking and integration of various types of work. In addition, I have one more doubt. ”

Fan Li said: "What is the doubt? ”

Luo Zichen said: "I doubt that Lord Lu Hai has already accepted Chang Geng as an apprentice. ”

Fan Li said: "On what basis do you say this? ”

Luo Zichen said: "I found that Lord Lu Hai looked at Chang Gung differently, not like a superior or superior, but like a father looking at his son with the kind of appreciative and loving gaze. Of course, that's how I feel, it doesn't count. Another thing that can be used as evidence is that one day, Lord Lu Hai was talking to Chang Gung, and I happened to walk in, and I heard it clearly, Chang Gung called out, 'Master! However, as soon as I entered, I immediately changed my name to my lordship. ”

Fan Li said: "Okay, I understand. Brother Luo Zichen, I am the deputy commander-in-chief of the Gusutai project, and I am also the personal guard of King Wu, and I now formally inform you that every word you said to me just now is absolutely confidential, and you are not allowed to say a word to anyone. Can you do it? ”

These words were very serious, Luo Zichen didn't turn a corner for a while, looked at Fan Li suspiciously, only to see Fan Li's face serious and cold, and hurriedly said, "The little one understands." ”

Fan Li said: "From now on, you will disappear, and when I arrive at the scene, you will follow this Zimei girl and leave, and she will arrange you in a safe and proper place." I'll go see you and give you orders. Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

Luo Zichen said: "The little one understands, and obeys the arrangement of the adult." ”

More than ten miles away, I arrived at the scene in one meal. Lu Hai has been rescued. Fan Li shouted in his ear: "Lu Hai, Lu Hai." Good brother, wake up. ”。

Lu Hai slowly opened his eyes, his lips moved, Fan Li hurriedly attached his ears, only to hear Lu Hai's faint voice say, "Chang Geng...... Can...... Entrusted! ”

Before he finished his sentence, Lu Hai's eyes closed and never opened them again.
