Chapter 205: Accepting Apprentices
Qi Zhen almost agreed to Jin Zhao's request, taking advantage of these few days, he ordered people to investigate the cause and effect of these things, until a few days later, Qi Siyun was gradually able to walk on the ground.
Qi Siyun has just reached the crown, and is not very old. These days, he always pesters Jin Zhao to ask questions. This young man seems to be particularly interested in the military camp and his affairs.
Since Jin Zhao had nothing else to do, he also told him a little bit, and the kid listened more and more enthusiastically.
Until he came towards Qi Zhen and asked Jin Zhao to accept him as his apprentice.
Jin Zhao didn't want to get entangled with this kid, so he agreed casually.
"General Cui, I didn't expect... to have such a fate with you. The child's parents died young, and I brought him up with my old bones. He and I are the only relatives of each other, so I will treat him as the only relative.It's a bit more serious, this child is pure in heart, I'm afraid he will suffer in the future, general, you are a man of your own mind, you will definitely make achievements in the future, if you accept him as an apprentice, you should protect him more in the future..."
The old prince held Jin Zhao's hand tightly with his haggard hands, trembling, and spoke sincerely and touchingly. Jin Zhao glanced at the young man who was reading at the side, reading with relish, and didn't notice them.
It seems...he really is a grandpa.
No matter how poor the King Qi Palace was, there was still this big family's full family property, so Qi Siyun's life in the future would naturally be worry-free, but that boy looked very handsome, but he was as pure as a piece of white paper.
The other one is not so simple.
Jin Zhao quickly brought Lu Jing's son Lu Guan Bao out from Qi Zhen.
Chief Lu Guanbao looked ruffian, but after being starved for a few days, he was also slumped and lacked energy.
Seeing Jin Zhao, he froze for a moment, thinking that he had misread, "You...who are you?"
"People who can save your life." Jin Zhao said indifferently.
"Then can I go back now?" Lu Guan Bao asked excitedly.
"Not yet."
Hearing what he said, Lu Guan Bao snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that you are also here to frame me?"
"Also?" Jin Zhao asked back.
After solving Lu Guan Bao's side, he found Lu Jing.
At this moment, Lu Jing was already haggard, and the paper scrolls on the desk were also turned into a mess by him, making a mess all over the floor.
Just when he was almost desperate, a black figure appeared in the room. The man was wearing a black cloak, his face was covered by a hat, and he couldn't see his true face at all.
"Who are you?" Lu Jing hurriedly recovered and asked vigilantly.
"The person who can save you, no, to be precise, is your son."
Hearing this, Lu Jing hurriedly stood up from the seat, and quickly walked behind him, but seeing his back was facing him, he was afraid of disturbing him, so he didn't dare to go forward.
"You? Why should I trust you?"
As soon as Lu Jing finished speaking, Jin Zhao threw down a jade tablet.
Seeing the familiar jade tablet, Lu Jing hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, looked at it carefully for a long time, and asked slowly, "Who are you? My son... is in your hand?"
"You don't have to believe it, but...you only have one chance." After he finished speaking, he was about to leave. Seeing this, Lu Jing stopped him without thinking, "I...I believe, what do you want to let my son go??”
Jin Zhao stopped in good time, "Before meeting your son, I want to know...why did you betray Li Wang?"
When Shen Li was mentioned, Lu Jing's expression tightened, and he said, "I...I have no choice but to, the emperor...threatened me."
"Threat? How did you threaten you?"
"My son caused trouble, and even provoked the grandson of the old prince Qi, causing the grandson to fall into a coma. The old prince Qi is old and highly respected. Who dares to contend with him, who can save my son... onlyThe emperor is here." Lu Jing's face was full of helplessness.
"So you put Li Wang's kindness behind you?"
Hearing what he said, Lu Jing sighed guiltily and said, "Everyone has weaknesses, I can't...don't care about my son..."
"It's really stupid. I'm still kept in the dark after being plotted by others." Jin Zhao said with a cold smile.
Lu Jing looked at him in confusion, "Scheme?"
"I have ordered people to find out. Someone deliberately provoked your son and beat him first. He just waved back a few times. During the fight with him, the opponent deliberately pulled the innocent grandson over to resist.After that, your son was so angry that his eyes turned red, and the attack was not serious, so he was framed, if you don't believe it, just ask him." After Jin Zhao finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a figure emerged from the darkwalked over.
Seeing his son who had caused him a lot of trouble standing in front of him intact, Lu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Guan Bao, what he said...is it true?"
Lu Guan Bao nodded and said: "I was indeed framed by someone, but I was arrested by the people of King Qi Palace before I had a chance to say it, and... I don't know who framed me."
Hearing this, Lu Jing seemed to realize something, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"He wants to use you to do things wholeheartedly. How can he not know who you belong to? It's just taking advantage of His Highness's trust in you. Now...you still can't guess who set up this game?"
Jin Zhao didn't say it clearly, but just reminded him a little, and Lu Jing quickly reacted.
"I... I'm almost sorry... Your Highness!" Lu Jing patted his head bitterly, and said regretfully.
"He said he would help you, but it's just that these days have passed, is there any movement?" Jin Zhao asked again.
He had doubts at first, Shen Li's vision of seeing people should not be that bad, but why there are people who betray, everything can only explain...
Emperor Xuanhui is insidious, he can catch people's weaknesses and make people have to compromise.
Since this is the case, the weak spot caught by him... Jin Zhao will certainly find a way to drag it back.
"Guanbao, are you...are you injured?" Lu Jing wiped his eyes, and when he was about to touch Lu Guan Bao, Jin Zhao blocked him.
"You...what do you mean?" Lu Jing hurriedly raised his head to look at him, looking at him with fear.
Jin Zhao took off his hat, revealing his true face.
"You... General Cui! It's you!" Lu Jing was shocked.
That day in the court hall, he refused him to sit on the position of minister so righteously, it turned out...had already noticed that something was wrong with him.
"Lord Lu, don't be surprised. Although I'm not a good person, I'm not that bad. I just can't bear to see you betraying King Li so much. If you don't want to scare the snake right now, there is only one way, and that is to let him follow me."
"You... what do you mean by that?"
Jin Zhao said: "It's up to the plan."
"Before that, I would like to ask Master Lu, if your son is intact, would you still betray His Highness?"
Hearing this, Lu Jing shook his head almost without thinking, "Of course not, Your Highness has treated me with such kindness as a mountain, if it wasn't for Guan Bao this time, how could I... But the emperor hasn't ordered me to do anything, just sayAfter pushing me to the position of Shangshu, there will be things for me to do, so right now...there is no substantial harm to His Highness, maybe...there is still room for redemption."
Jin Zhao inspected him several times, stared at him closely and asked, "Do you dare to swear?"
Without hesitation, Lu Jing raised his palm to his ear and said a few poisonous oaths.
Jin Zhao knew that the ancients valued oaths the most, and they were most afraid of oaths. Seeing that Lu Jing's expression was firm, and he didn't feel guilty like he was in court, he slowly let go of his heart.
