From that letter, Lu Jue learned the true intentions of King Luo, and inevitably linked Zhou Zhao's poisoning with him. Although he said with great certainty that he would stand on the side of justice, he was still in a dilemma in his heart. Coupled with the fact that the antidote was nowhere to be found, he fell into deep distress! Men all want to save face, especially in front of their lovers, in order not to let Zhou Ruoshui see his powerlessness, he hid alone in the garden pavilion and worried.

It is unknown where to find the antidote, and there is no return for tens of thousands of miles, do you really want to watch Zhou Zhao die. At this time, he felt that in the face of life and death, no matter how much power and no amount of gold and silver were useless! went back and forth for more than ten days, which clearly didn't want him to live! Could it be that rights are more important to that person than family affection, he will really be ruthless!

On the other hand, Zhou Ruoshui knew that Lu Jue was busy with detoxification, and he must not be able to eat well and be restless, so he changed his tricks to cook meals and try to make him eat well. He didn't come to look for him when he had a snack, but he wasn't in the room at all, and he was looking for him, so he learned from the night breeze that someone else was in the gazebo. Lu Jue was suffering from a stubborn illness and had a lot of taboos about cold and heat, and Zhou Ruoshui was worried that he would catch a cold and catch a disease, so he took his cloak and hurried away with the other three of her four female guards.

Before he arrived at the pavilion, he saw him standing in the wind from a distance, the corners of his clothes swaying lightly in the wind, and people frowned and were indescribably desolate. Knowing that he was struggling with the matter of finding an antidote, Zhou Ruoshui inexplicably felt a little more sad and sorry in his heart, no matter how capable he was, he was just a mortal, and there would definitely be a time when he could do everything, so he stopped and walked over with a cloak and gently draped it on him.

Lu Jue was worried about where to find the antidote, and when he heard the movement, he already had an extra cloak on his body. He didn't look back, just turned his head slightly to look at Zhou Ruoshui's close figure, because he didn't want her to see his helplessness, he raised his hand and tied his cloak and said, "It's so cold, why don't you let Xiao Ai come to look for me." ”

Women are sensitive and suspicious by nature, and needless to say, they know that things are difficult just by looking at him like this. Zhou Ruoshui didn't move forward and just stood quietly behind him, because she didn't want him to see her worries, that was undoubtedly putting pressure on him again, and she didn't want him to be embarrassed. Zhou Ruoshui bit his lip, resisted the urge to ask if there was a way, took his hand and said softly: "Let's go back!" ”

Lu Jue turned around, looked at her eyes, held her cold hand in the palm of his hand, and comforted: "Don't worry, isn't there still three days left?" There will definitely be a way. ”

How can such an excellent man not be pitied, Zhou Ruoshui raised his hand and stroked the pimple wrinkled on his forehead, and his eyes were full of distressed comfort: "Don't suffer yourself, everyone has a life." As long as you do your best, your father, mother and sister-in-law will not blame you, but the eldest brother 、、、、、、" Before he finished speaking, tears had already burst out of his eyes.

Lu Jue held her hand on his forehead, moved it to his lips and pecked it lovingly, wiped away her tears and said: "If my brother is really unlucky, even if its Seven Star Hall is far away in the sky, I will let it not grow an inch and let him be martyred for my brother!" ”

Bai Tingfeng, who was standing on the side, heard him say the name of the Seven Star Hall, and bowed his head thoughtfully: "Seven Star Hall." He looked up and asked, "What the master just said is in the Seven Star Hall in the territory of the Jin Kingdom, could it be that the poison in the county horse master is seven days away." ”

Listening to her words, Lu Jue suddenly came to his senses, and secretly scolded himself for being confused, isn't there a Jianghu around him? I don't know why I didn't ask her. His brows furrowed, and he asked, "How much do you know about the Seven Star Hall?" ”

As soon as he said this, Bai Tingfeng said proudly: "It's right for the master to ask me, Tingfeng in the Jin Kingdom knows less, but there is a little wind and grass in Daqi, and it can't escape the eyes of our Pepsi Gate." In the past half a year, there has been another news on the rivers and lakes, saying that the Seven Star Hall has developed in the Central Plains, and the rich Jiangnan is their first choice, and the Seven Star Hall rudder they set up is in Hangzhou, and if you want to find the antidote, you might as well go there and take a walk. ”

"Okay, I see" Lu Jue pondered for a moment, and then asked: "I remember that your master said that the hall master of the Seven Stars Hall had a close relationship with Wan Yan Lie, the fifth prince of the Jin Kingdom. At this time, the Seven Star Hall entered the Central Plains, is there any movement in the Jin Kingdom. ”

Bai Tingfeng nodded and said: "Master's analysis is good, not only the Jin country has a trend, but they also united Mongolia and the surrounding small countries to attack together." ”

Lu Jue pondered deeply in his eyes, thinking about these many coincidences, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "What does King Luo mean?" ”

"The prince didn't say anything, there have been several urgent twists and turns at the border pass, and he still doesn't move, what specific instructions there are, there is no way to know when I listen to Feng." Bai Tingfeng shrugged his shoulders and looked like he had done his best.

Although most of the people in the rivers and lakes are righteous, there is also a bad thing, that is, they are too arrogant, and there are always one or two black sheep among the officials, which makes them even more despised as people in the court. She is a literati and an official, so it is reasonable for her to be like this. But since she is doing things for herself, she should let her know who she is. There are too many things around him, and it involves Zhou Ruoshui's personal safety, how can he not have any more mistakes. If she is really half-hearted, don't blame herself for being ruthless.

Lu Jue stared at her meaningfully and said: "It's a good thing that the rivers and lakes and the court are irrelevant, and it makes sense that you don't want to cause trouble." I know that you just don't dare to disobey your master's orders, and you are lazy and perfunctory. However, no matter how free the people of the rivers and lakes are, they are also the people of Daqi, and they are also subject to the law. Don't you think there are no good people in office? Then I will also say plainly, I have a way to wish you out of trouble, and naturally there will be a way to make you irreducible! After speaking, he evoked a light smile, although the smile was light, but the invisible kingly spirit made it incisive.

Bai Tingfeng could obviously feel an invisible pressure, and couldn't help but shiver, knowing in his heart that he already knew that he had something to hide, looking at his eyes a little frightened, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Tingfeng doesn't dare." ”

Lu Jue's cruel words were also heard clearly by the other two, with various expressions, and they began to think about it in their hearts.

Lu Jue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let's go." ”

"Yes" Bai Tingfeng quietly raised his eyes and glanced at him, the faint smile was still on his face, and there was a panic in his heart, so he hurriedly retreated outside the pavilion, stopped and thought for a moment before leaving.

Lu Jue stared at her back and smiled deeply, took off his cloak and handed it to Xiao Ai, and ordered: "You go and pass the word to Lei Gang, and in two hours I will know the specific location of the rudder of the Seven Star Hall, as well as all its matters." ”

"It's Uncle." Xiao Ai took the cloak and retreated.

After the people retreated, Lu Jue stretched out his hand to Zhou Ruoshui, took her hand and said, "Let's go see my brother." ”

"Hmm" Zhou Ruoshui let him hold him, and the two went to Chunhui Garden together.

But for some reason, Zhou Zhao, whose condition had been stable, suddenly deteriorated. It could have lasted for three days, but if there was no antidote to this deterioration, the next day would be when Zhou Zhao died.

Time passed little by little, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and just when everyone was not holding out any hope, Lei Gang brought good news.

Lu Jue now has confidence, as long as he has a specific location, he is confident that he will get the antidote, so he took Gu Shuangyun and Lei Gang alone.

The Qixingtang rudder is located in the south of Hangzhou, and its appearance and layout are no different from ordinary dart boards. And in the daytime, there will be bursts of martial arts from time to time. Things outside the customs can gain a foothold in the Central Plains in just a few months, and it is not difficult to say that there are his advantages.

When Lu Jue and the three of them came to the Seven Star Hall to divide the rudder, the sky had already darkened, and when they arrived here, Lu Jue didn't say much nonsense, indicating his identity and explaining his intentions. The doorkeeper didn't dare to slack off, so he took the three of them to the hall, and said that he would go to the back hall to ask the helmsman, but who knew that it would only take half an hour.

On the way here, Lei Gang inquired about the rudder of the Seven Star Hall and told Lu Jue one by one. The helmsman of this Qixingtang branch is a talented man named Xu He, who is rich in learning and has participated in several imperial examinations, but has failed one after another. Just after being disappointed in the last examination room, he, who was too talented in literature and was too high to be able to rank on the gold list, scolded at the gate of the Gongyuan for three days. Later, because he insulted the imperial court officials, after being removed from the title of Xiucai, he was severely beaten and imprisoned for several months.

Since he was released from prison, he has been disheartened and has gone to Guanwai for ten years. The past ten years have been completely blank, as if there is no such person in the world, not to mention Lei Gang, he doesn't even know everything about the rivers and lakes, so Lu Jue has to use some thought when facing this person.

Time passed quietly, and another half an hour passed, and Xu He had not yet appeared. Lu Jue's patience also grinded down little by little. He lowered his face, threw the teacup in his hand on the table, and said coldly at the people who had already passed it on several times and led them: "You go and tell Xu He that if he still wants to see this place called Qixingtang in Hangzhou City tomorrow, let him go to Deyue Tower to see this seat immediately; If you want to continue to challenge your patience, you can try what you can do! After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.

From outside the door, a voice that was not like a man came, and the voice was soft and like a woman's voice: "It is said that Lord Zhengqing is ruthless, and now it seems that what he said is true." ”

Everyone looked at it, and a man with a bewitching face that did not look like a man stood at the door. If it weren't for seeing his Adam's apple, it would really make people mistakenly think that it was a woman disguised as a man, and this person was the famous Xu He back then.

Lu Jue returned to his original seat and sat down, his expression was cold, and he didn't see a trace of surprise at all after seeing the shocked Xu Hehou. asked in a cold tone, "You are Xu He?" ”

At this time, Xu He showed a seductive smile, and a man's long demon was just that, and he also gave him a smile that made people intoxicated at first sight. This kind of laughter can be described as both men and women.

He saluted slightly, and said softly: "In Xia Xu He, I have seen Lord Lu of Dali Temple. ”

In this way, there is no need to say anything, Lu Jue said directly: "I want an antidote for seven days." ”

Xu He did not answer directly, but sat down in the main seat with an elegant temperament, waited for the maid to re-serve the tea, took a sip of the tea, and smiled back: "The adults must have inquired clearly before coming, and there is no antidote below." ”

Lu Jue didn't care about what he was talking about at this time, and it could be said that he didn't believe it at all, because of all the coincidences. He couldn't believe this person, and he said lightly: "That's your business, what I want is an antidote." ”

Xu He laughed twice and said, "Adults are not in good health, aren't their ears good either!" It doesn't matter, I'll tell you again, I don't have an antidote at all. There was a hint of ridicule and sarcasm in his words.

Before Lu Jue could refute angrily, Lei Gang had already reprimanded: "Bold, you dare to humiliate the officials of the imperial court, you want to go to prison!" ”

Years of knots in his heart made Xu He the most taboo about this matter, he looked at Lei Gang with an ominous face and said unhappily: "Lord Lu is so good at disciplining his subordinates!" I am an ordinary person, and people from the official family are not afraid to spread this word, and they will be said to be unseemly! ”

Lu Jue squinted at this person, and said with a light smile: "Will this seat discipline subordinates, there are people with clear eyes to watch." And whether you are an ordinary person or not, you know better than anyone else. You should understand the meaning of this seat! If you still want to be in Hangzhou tomorrow and see this place called Qixingtang, you'd better obediently hand over the antidote. If not, you have also said that this seat is ruthless, why don't you try what is called a white-faced Yama. Saying that, he leaned on the table, leaned towards him slightly, and deliberately nodded: "It's not easy to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, if something happens, will your master be more ruthless than me." ”

Xu He was not afraid, and smiled lightly: "I have a problem with this person, that is, I don't like to be threatened!" ”

Lu Jue stood up straight and stared at this person, his eyes flashed coldly, he made a long sound, and said indifferently: "Oh, then I might as well tell you that there is torture in Dali Temple to treat this kind of disease, one by one, you can carry a few!" It seems that you are not a fool, so use your smart head to think about whether it is right or wrong to oppose the official family at this time. I don't have much time, and I use extraordinary means in extraordinary times, so I don't recommend seeing one more corpse and burying my wife and brother! Qu Finger knocked on the table, and said with a deep look: "Half an hour" After speaking, he straightened up and arched his hand to him, raised his foot and walked out.

There are advantages and disadvantages to being smart, he will think more than ordinary people, and if he thinks more, he will worry more. Xu He knew what was at stake here, if Qixingtang wanted to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, the government had better stay away, and stop Lu Jue when he was about to step out of the door: "Lord Lu, please stay." ”

This trick is unpleasant to retreat, although Lu Jue's face is still as usual, the corners of his slightly upturned mouth have already shown a trace of his pride. He turned around and said lightly: "You think about it, hand over the antidote." ”
