King Luo, who came to Hangzhou, refused Zhou Wenfeng's kind invitation and did not stay in Zhou's mansion on the grounds of his different identity, but took the nearly 1,000 people to live in Suiyuan, and after settling those people, he only brought a few close guards and returned to Zhou's house. As Zhou Wenfeng's in-law Zhou Zhao's father-in-law, he first visited Zhou Zhao, who had just recovered from a serious illness, and then went to the garden alone on the grounds that he had something else to do, and met Lu Jue, who had been waiting there for a long time.

Sitting with him at this time, Lu Jue's mood was extremely complicated, and it was also a hundred tastes. The Jin State and the Mongols joined forces to invade the border, but the King of Luo, who had a heavy army, completely ignored it, and was in dire straits with the hardships of the Li people! He did not stay in Beijing to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy, and he did not give the order to send troops to resist the enemy. On the contrary, he had the leisure to attend the wedding of a courtier's subordinate, which made Lu Jue, who had always admired him, puzzled and surprised.

thinks that when he was not crowned, he asked for orders to go into battle to kill the enemy, and after a few years, he gained a lot of prestige in the army when he was young. According to his current status, even if his prestige can't gather the four things, as long as he really has the heart to resist the enemy, any man with a warm blood, who will not follow him to the death to protect his homeland, but his current actions are not difficult to make people speculate.

King Ranluo had already taken Lu Jue's expression in his eyes and guessed his thoughts. The slightly frowning eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, but then a kind and gentle smile appeared, and he said in one sentence: "What you are confused in your heart is true, this king has not sent troops to fight the enemy for a long time, in addition to attending your big wedding ceremony, he does have another purpose, in order to find a gold medal arrow that can command the army?" ”

Whenever he was in front of him, Lu Jue always felt like a child, and he couldn't hide it from him as soon as he thought about it. At this time, let him speak out what he thinks in his heart, and he lacks that freedom! He rubbed his hands on his legs, changed his sitting position, and sighed softly: "What is the gold medal order arrow, Wei Chen has heard it in the court for several years. The things given by Taizong represent the precious things of holy grace, meritorious service, and commendation, how can the protector of the country fake his hands with others? ”

I can't hear this, the implication is that the thing is still in the capital, more precisely, it is not in his hands, so I have no idea about him. King Luo hooked the corners of his mouth, and he didn't know the meaning of his words: "Lord Siqing is young and promising, and his means are extraordinary, how can he not know where the gold medal order arrow is." Don't blame the king for not reminding you that those few things are in your hands, and they don't do you any good except to bring you death. A word of advice to my lord, let's leave it to this king! ”

Hearing such an unfamiliar name. makes Lu Jue feel so uncomfortable, he is the person he admired when he was young, once upon a time who did not pay his sincerity, so it seems to be a false feeling! He secretly thought about the past, since he intervened in the case of King Luo's disappearance, he inadvertently learned his true identity, and naturally learned a lot of King Luo's ulterior conspiracy. The young man at home, Lu Jue also heard a lot about it, and many deeds of King Luo when he was young in the army, he has always admired him! If you have the opportunity to get in touch, you will treat it wholeheartedly. But those gossips in the capital, whether true or not, made him puzzled, in order to solve the doubts in his heart and to prove that the person he respected, would not be a person with a different heart. For this reason, he also took advantage of his position to secretly do a lot of investigations, but this investigation not only did not solve the confusion in his heart, but also grasped a lot of his ulterior insiders. Although Lu Jue has not fully understood these insiders, he at least has a mustard for King Luo.

King Luo's heart is unfathomable, deep and unpredictable, and it is difficult to know his heart; The people at the border are in dire straits, and tens of thousands of lives are at stake. Lu Jue's heart began to be entangled, but after pondering for a while, he finally suppressed his indecisive heart and decided to hide it. He clasped his hands on his knees, lowered his eyes, and said helplessly: "The minister is a civil official, although he has heard of the thing that commands the army, he has never seen it, how can it be in the hands of Weichen." However, the prince can rest assured that if it is useful to the place of Weichen, for the sake of the people of Daqi, the minister will do his best. ”

King Luo's hand holding the lid of the teacup paused slightly, and a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes. After staring at him for a moment, he tapped the lid of the teacup on the tea bowl, smiled and made a fierce accusation: "The safety of the country and the health of the people are all against the selfishness of Lord Siqing." For a few years, once the title of the gold list, I was fortunate to be an official, but my lord did not do his best for the safety of the people of Limin, and the king who was a teacher was deeply disappointed in you! On the face of him, he was full of grief, and he was completely disappointed with the people he relied on.

If it weren't for his own investigation and understanding of him in advance, maybe Lu Jue would have been shaken by his words. Lu Jue avoided his gaze with a slight weakness, stood up and hung his head, hugged his fists and bowed deeply, and his words were full of helplessness: "Weichen's ability is limited, and he is powerless!" I hope the prince will understand. ”

Hearing this, King Luo should have been angry, but he put on a kind smile, stood up and walked to Lu Jue's side, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. He said earnestly: "There are some things that the king should tell you, are you ready?" ”

Lu Jue was a little surprised and said, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

King Luo smiled lightly, walked behind him, pressed him to his seat, held his shoulders tightly and said: "You must be very surprised in your heart for so many years, why do you receive all kinds of special treatment, now that Daqi has reached an eventful time, it is time for you to know all this, so that you can make the right choice in times of crisis." ”

Lu Jue looked sideways at King Luo who was standing behind him, smiled faintly, and said with a firm attitude: "Lord Xie reminds you that Weichen has always been very clear about what he should do!" ”

King Luo glanced at him, smiled without words, patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the pavilion, turned his back to Lu Jue, looked ahead with sadness in his eyes, sighed lightly and said slowly: "For so many years, what should be done or what should not be done, this king has done everything, and there are not a few people who are suspicious of hostile people, but I have no regrets." Cough. Saying that, he sighed again, turned around and smiled apologetically: "Look at how I told you this, back to the topic, you are a little Dali Siqing, even if you are young and promising, young talent, is it really worth the prince and prince to start frequently!" Attract people's jealousy and make people's eyes, with you as the son of a rich businessman, it is not worth their attention. Now this king will solve your doubts, because you are the son of the current saint and the former filial piety queen, that is, the crown prince Zhu Rui who was proclaimed in the current dynasty. If you are really interested in the throne, this king is willing to help you! ”

His uncertainties make Lu Jue elusive, but one thing is obvious, that is, he already knows that he already has two tokens of troop transfer in his hands, which are the million troops of Daqi! He supported it so vigorously because he was ambitious, and once he was tempted by this easily accessible country, it would be a big storm. He has no real power and an unstable foundation, and he is a prince outside the world, and even his identity is still in doubt, at that time, which prince and prince will be convinced of such a prince who should have been lost, and he can reap the benefits of the fisherman by fighting together. However, Lu Jue knows in his heart whether he wants to be a caught stork or a fisherman who reaps good profits, and now he can only say that he has a opinion! However, at this time, there are only two of the four tokens of the command army, and the time has not yet come, for the safety of the people around him, he can only be with this person at this time.

After thinking about it, he also walked out of the pavilion, stood on the same side as King Luo, and said in a trembling voice: "The prince is saying that I am not the biological son of my parents. ”

King Luo couldn't help but be frightened and worried when he saw that he began to breathe rapidly, knowing that if he continued like this, his heart palpitations would recur. looked anxiously appeased again and again, and under his own comfort, Lu Jue gradually calmed down. Hurriedly asked, "Xiao Jue is better!" Do you want to pass Liu Lingling to take a look?"

Hearing this, Lu Jue frowned and glanced at him, and said absentmindedly: "Thank you for your care, Ziyu is much better." ”

"It's okay, okay, this king won't force you too much, think about it in the next two days." Raising his hand and patting him on the shoulder, he reminded him slightly: "The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, this king is waiting for good news." ”

Lu Jue's eyes were at a loss, and he bowed his hand in a panic and said, "The minister will definitely consider it carefully and will reply to the prince as soon as possible." ”

King Luo smiled mildly at first, then frowned, and corrected with slight displeasure: "Whether you are an official, a citizen, or a descendant of the royal family, now that your identity is clear, what should you call me." ”

"Yes" Lu Jue hurriedly made amends for his sins, and then changed his words according to his wishes: "My nephew has seen Uncle Huang." ”

"Very well, that's for now." King Luo patted him on the shoulder, and reminded him again: "Think carefully, as long as you remember one thing, only this king has the ability to keep you worry-free for a lifetime, whether you advance or retreat, you think about it, this king still has other things to do, and he will leave first." ”

"Nephew, congratulations to Uncle Huang." Lu Jue bowed deeply and gave a big gift. It wasn't until King Luo completely disappeared in front of him and he couldn't see his figure anymore that he straightened up. Restoring his calm and normal expression, he raised his hand to cover his chest and pressed it on the excited heart, whether he was yin or yang, friend or foe, although he made a decision in his heart, but his constant care would still make him waver. He walked to the lake and looked down at his own reflection in the lake, as if to examine and remind himself that one wrong step would be doomed.

I don't know how long I stood there, and Zhou Wenfeng's voice came from behind me: "He's gone." ”

This voice made Lu Jue stunned for a moment, and realized who the person behind him was, so he hurriedly turned around and saw Zhou Wenfeng standing behind him with a solemn face, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Child, I've seen my father-in-law." ”

Zhou Wenfeng didn't say anything, just looked him up and down, and his eyes didn't know what to look like. After a long time, he spat out a sentence: "Follow me." After saying that, he turned around and took the lead.

He didn't say much, and Lu Jue didn't ask much, just followed him to Yunfu Tower one after another. Zhou Wenfeng gently pushed open the door of the study, walked in first, and stood at the table waiting for him to come in.

And Lu Jue did not rush in, but in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, he recruited Bai Jiu to come, and with Bai Jiu's kung fu, he would not hide from his ears.

Seeing that he was so cautious and cautious, Zhou Wenfeng didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Wait for him to close the door and walk in before asking: "I heard all your conversations, how to choose, do you still have hesitation?" "What I know is related to the survival of the entire Great Qi, and I can't tolerate the slightest difference, it's not that he can't trust Lu Jue, so much temptation will make anyone move. People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the hearts of others are unpredictable, so we can only be cautious in order to protect ourselves.

Lu Jue heard his distrust from Zhou Wenfeng's words, and he was not aggrieved in his heart. His eyes were striking, he tried his best to prove it, and tried his best to express his attitude: "Father-in-law, although the child is not a person of great benevolence and righteousness, he still understands some simple truths, and he can still distinguish which is more important than the child." I don't ask my father-in-law for forgiveness, I just hope that my father-in-law can rest assured. "No matter what you do, you want the support and affirmation of your family. This matter has reached the point of life and death, but without the support of his father-in-law, it is obvious that Lu Jue has begun to feel uneasy and anxious.

If Zhou Wenfeng had let go of his opinions because of these few words, he would not have today's status and wealth. He could see that Lu Jue was telling the truth, although he did not let go, but his gaze at him had eased slightly, but his tone had not yet loosened, and he said: "Sitting on the world, the number of heroes, and sitting on the position of the Ninety-Five, these are what you deserve." The court fought for flesh and blood, and how could you ever care about these people who had no blood relatives, don't you think these sacrifices are necessary? ”

This sentence made Lu Jue completely withered, full of remorse, lowered his head and looked like he had lost his fighting spirit, and his tone was full of remorse: "If you can go back to the beginning, the child will never do the stupid thing of entering Beijing to take the exam again." Brocade clothes, jade food, high positions and power are all not as valuable as family affection, but 、、、、、、" sighed lightly and did not continue, but he made his position clear between the lines.

Zhou Wenfeng snorted lightly and said, "Don't be busy thinking about it first, I'm asking you how you want to do it!" ”

Lu Jue lifted his sleeves, unfolded the crystal bracelet on his wrist in front of Zhou Wenfeng, and said sincerely: "I don't want to be above 10,000 people, I just don't want to be a negative person." ”

Whether it is true or false, Zhou Wenfeng is so knowledgeable, he can tell it clearly. I was all relieved in my heart, what more could I ask for this good husband. In my heart, I also decided to pour out everything I knew. He walked up to Lu Jue and held his shoulders tightly. He comforted: "Ziyu, you can do what you decide in your heart, don't sway from side to side because of anyone's words." Now that you've chosen this path, don't regret it. Even if there is a muddy path and an ancient wooden bridge in front of you, as long as you are confident and persevering. Even if the road is full of thorns, as long as you walk through the light, you will be ahead. You can rest assured that no matter what time it is, your father-in-law is the striker and your strong backing. ”

Lu Jue's eyes were full of confidence because of this, and he nodded confidently and said, "Father-in-law, rest assured, the child knows what to do." "Even if the road ahead is bleak and life and death are uncertain, what is there to be afraid at this time, family affection is a weapon to defeat everything.

Zhou Wenfeng said: "Didn't he want you to give him an answer as soon as possible?" You set a time, and your father-in-law will go with you. Our son-in-law work together, and its profits are golden. ”

"Hmm."

There are two completely different attitudes, one is the secret coercion and temptation, all kinds of coercion; The first is to encourage and support the first drink. Only family affection is precious, and it is done and cherished.
