Chapter Twenty-Seven: Expansion

When Lu Shun heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

At this time, Ling Zhuo happened to come in and said with a smile: "Here."

Lu Shun hurriedly saluted him, kowtowed, and said, "The minister has seen His Royal Highness King Zhen."

Ling Zhuo walked over with a smile, helped Lu Shun up from the ground, and said, "Lord Lu doesn't need to be polite. I was just passing by here, and I heard that the people were saying that you were going to move, and I gave them a cake, so I looked for an excuse and came and looked. ”

Lu Shun hurriedly said: "Minister's luck."

Ling Zhuo kept smiling, seeing Lu Shun so frightened, he reached out and pulled the sleeve of his hand that was raised in the air, pulled him inside, and said, "Lord Lu tortures me so much, I can't stand it." He didn't give Lu Shun a chance to speak, and said: "Lord Lu is promoted now, I may not have the opportunity to eat Lord Lu's wine, I wonder if Lord Lu can invite me to a cup of tea here?"

Lu Shun was pulled by Ling Zhuo's sleeve, a little stunned and heard him say this, and hurriedly said, "Naturally, it's okay." instructed the subordinates with him, and said, "Go and make a cup of good Lu'an melon slices for His Royal Highness King Zhen."

The subordinate commanded: "Yes."

Ling Zhuo listened to their words, smiling brightly beside him, and his eyes became even more gloomy. It turned out that he even inquired about what kind of tea he liked to drink.

Shangshufu was a little empty because the subordinates had packed up their things, and the sunlight outside shone directly through the window, and some dust flew on it.

Lu Shun was a little surprised, and said: "His Royal Highness King Zhen should not be blamed, the Shangshu Mansion has been cleaned up, so it is like this, if you want to go to the Anle Hou Mansion for tea next time, the minister will definitely be disrespectful."

When Ling Zhuo heard this, he smiled and waved his hand, sat down and said, "Lord Lu doesn't have to be polite, I am a casual person, and I don't care about this." He looked at Lu Shun with a smile and said, "You sit down, I have to look up at you while standing."

When Lu Shun heard this, he sat down in fear and said, "The minister knows his mistake."

Ling Zhuo, who was listening to his words, raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Lu doesn't have to be so rusty, I didn't say anything." He half-jokingly loosened the somewhat deadlocked.

When Lu Shun heard this, he put down his hand and hung it on his lap, and at this time, the subordinate brought the tea up and put it in front of Ling Zhuo and Lu Shun.

Ling Zhuo picked up the purple sand cup with a smile on his face, took a sip, and said, "This high-grade Lu'an melon slice is really fragrant."

Lu Shun hurriedly said: "If Prince Zhen likes it, it's fine."

Ling Zhuo raised his eyes to look at Lu Shun and said slowly, "I wonder how Lord Lu learned that I love to drink these Lu'an melon slices?"

Hearing this, Lu Shun hurriedly put the teacup in his hand back on the table, hung his head and said, "When the minister heard about it, he remembered it in his heart."

Ling Zhuo raised his eyebrows and teased, "Lord Lu's words are not honest."

When Lu Shun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's Weichen who inquired."

Ling Zhuo was finally satisfied when he heard the truth, played with the edge of the purple sand cup in his hand, and said leisurely: "That...... Why did Lord Lu ask? ”

"This ......" Lu Shun hurriedly raised his head, just in time to see Ling Zhuo also looking at him with straight eyes, as if he wanted to see his thoughts, Lu Shun was surprised, and hurriedly lowered his head again, and after pondering for a while, he spoke: "Naturally, it is to let His Royal Highness King Zhen pay attention." After finishing speaking, some cold sweat broke out on his hands, and he was a little surprised that King Zhen, who had always been gentle, would have such a domineering gaze, but because of this, the matter he and Xu Mai had calculated changed from one percent to four percent of them.

"Hmm......" Ling Zhuo said, "I did pay attention." Now, without waiting for Lu Shun to guess what his tone meant, he continued to smile and said, "I received Lord Lu's gift, and I like it very much." He gave him a purple knot rope, although it is common, but there are many knots tied on it, which is practical but not practical, but it is used by the ancients to show their loyalty...... It was purple again, and when he saw it, he knew what it meant.

When Lu Shun heard this, he suddenly looked up at him, but he still saw the deep and bottomless eyes, and the smile that never fell from the corner of his mouth. He lowered his head again, his palms sweated a little more, and suddenly he didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong.

Ling Zhuo looked at Lu Shun's head, suddenly squinted his eyes, smiled even brighter, suddenly took out a brocade box from his cuffs, put it on the table, and said, "Lord Lu, look at this."

When Lu Shun heard his words, he raised his head, looked at the brocade box on the table, and asked puzzledly, "What is this?"

Ling Zhuo raised his chin and said, "You open it and take a look."

Lu Shun stretched out his hand and opened it, and there was a copper bracelet in between, lying quietly in it with a fierce breath, he didn't answer, and looked up at Ling Zhuo.

Ling Zhuo spoke: "If my guess is right, it is Lord Lu, who intends to be with me, if I guess correctly, Lord Lu will accept it and keep it with me at all times, if I guess wrong, Lord Lu will ......" He said this, stopped suddenly, and stopped talking.

Lu Shun listened to his words, but he was surprised and happy in his heart, surprised that Ling Zhuo had such a means to make him submit to him without two hearts, and happily, his current situation has finally eased a little.

Ling Zhuo raised his eyebrows and played with taste: "Lord Lu, why are you stunned?"

Lu Shun hurriedly retracted his mind, knelt and kowtowed, and said, "Minister, thank you, His Royal Highness King Zhen."

Ling Zhuo didn't let him get up, but slowly stood up, and said calmly: "Lord Lu has thought about it?"

Lu Shun: "Ministers must be loyal!"

When Ling Zhuo heard what he said, he suddenly smiled, as if he remembered something. smiled for a moment, and then said concisely: "I don't care about Lord Lu's obedience to the eldest brother in the past, and in the future, I hope you will remember what you said." Naturally, I will not treat you badly. ”

Lu Shun kowtowed: "The minister receives the order."

"So be it." Ling Zhuo spoke: "Lord Lu doesn't have to kneel on the ground, the ground is very cold." I also stayed for a short time, lest there be rumors. ”

Lu Shun hurriedly stood up from the ground and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhen, the minister still has one more thing to ......"

Ling Zhuo raised his eyebrows, looked at his appearance, and then understood, and said, "Are you asking Xu Mai?"

"Yes." Lu Shun was still bent over, but he was surprised in his heart, it seems that King Zhen is indeed a person with a strategy.

"You don't have to worry too much about him." Ling Zhuo spoke: "I also like the sword he gave me, he is still idle at home now, I will let people find a reason to meet him." He paused and said, "You annoyed your father, and he is now angry with you, although An Lehou is an idle job, it is not bad." Don't go out and wander around if you have nothing to do, settle down, and make friends with the powerful people you offended in the past. After a while, I will have your position restored. He lifted his chin and continued:
