This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

Chapter 634 The Name of Cold River
"It is for this reason that Lu Shangshu's kindness of dripping water has been reciprocated. These years, he has not only secretly worked together with Jinyiwei, but also sent his nephew to Jinyiwei. His intentions are well-intentioned." Old Master Luo seemed to have a thorn in his words.

Lu Yannian said slowly: "My lord's words are wrong, how can it be regarded as a drop of grace. Back then, my brother's wife was attacked by water thieves just after giving birth to him. If it wasn't for Lord Meng, I'm afraid my poor My nephew has long since disappeared."

The air in the tea room froze for a moment, this remark made Old Master Luo's eyes slightly narrowed, he looked directly into Lu Shangshu's eyes, and asked calmly: "This is the first time I've heard of this, can Lu Shangshu tell you in detail."

"Actually, there is nothing to say." Lu Yannian paused, and said slowly, "Master Meng escorted my clan brother and wife back to Beijing. In order to thank him for his kindness, I will ask Mr. Meng to take care of the newborn child. named it."

Old Master Luo leaned forward slightly, with serious eyes, Lu Yannian said leisurely: "Speaking of which, maybe my nephew has a relationship with Master Meng. When he grows up, he doesn't like reading and prefers martial arts, so I made the decision to send him into Jinyiwei." .”

Old Master Luo said in a deep voice, "I seem to have an impression of the person Lu Shangshu mentioned."

Lu Yannian smiled and said: "Your Majesty is naturally no stranger. Speaking of which, my nephew behaved perversely and was rude in front of your Majesty a few times. It's because I'm an uncle. I'm here to make amends. I hope your lord There are a lot of them, so don’t argue with him.”

Old Master Luo stared at Lu Shangshu solemnly: "Forgive me I don't like to ask divination and guessing riddles, but I dare to ask, who is the child's name?"

Lu Yannian lowered his head, and after a long silence, holding the half cup of cold tea in his hand, he said slowly, "When the child was just born, Mr. Meng intended to name the child Yaoze."

Old Master Luo didn't say a word, Lu Shangshu didn't finish his sentence, he just continued to say: "But later I think this son's life is too much, and this word is too heavy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue—"

"That's why I suggested that Mr. Meng simplify the complexity. The child was born in the cold winter months, and his fate was fixed on the river, so he named the child after that." Lu Yannian took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Cold River."

Old Master Luo put his hands on the table at some point, sat up slightly with his upper body, leaned forward a little, and fixed his eyes on Lu Yannian.

Lu Yannian was unmoved, and after a while, he slowly got up and bowed to Old Master Luo: "I got up today, I couldn't help talking some gossip, I hope you don't mind, sir, by the way, I will be there in a few days On the big day of my nephew's return to the clan, if you are free, please honor it."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yannian slowly exited the tea room, and at the same time, Qi Yunzhou, vice president of Meihua Academy, quietly walked in from the other side.

"teacher."

Qi Yunzhou came to sit where Lu Yannian was just now, looked seriously at Old Master Luo who was still in a trance, and said jokingly: "It seems that Master Lu is not over forty as rumored in the market, but he is well-maintained. The teacher thought that Master Shangshu Say, is it credible?"

When speaking of the second half of the sentence, Qi Yunzhou's expression became more serious.

Old Master Luo slowly recovered from the shock, he stroked his beard and said, "What Lu Yannian said can indeed explain some of the mysteries back then, and it is clear that Lu Hanjiang was able to pay attention immediately when he was a fledgling."

Qi Yunzhou calmed down, and said in a low voice: "So, the teacher thinks that the missing child in Jiangnan was taken away by Mr. Meng under the guise of being a child of the Lu family?"

Old Master Luo was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I'm not sure, I've been investigating Jiangnan's affairs carefully for many years, and how many forces have intervened in it. Under the suspicion, at most, I can only find out that Meng Yuan brought back a child from Jiangnan. "

Qi Yunzhou reminded in a low voice: "Teacher, don't forget that when Junior Sister left Jiangnan, she also took a child with her."

"You're right."

Old Master Luo closed his eyes tightly and pondered for a while, then slowly opened them again: "The whereabouts of the child taken away by the Crown Princess is still unknown, although Meng Yuan doesn't know whether he is suspicious or there is something real, but it is finally possible Confirm that the child in his hands is the current Lu Hanjiang."

Qi Yunzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and analyzed: "If it is Mr. Lu, then it is understandable that Mr. Meng has cultivated his trust in him over the years. With Lu Shangshu's favor alone, it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Meng, who has power over the government and the public, to do it." So much."

"Meng Yuan's whereabouts are unknown now, but we may be able to get a glimpse of one or two from what he has done over the years." Old Master Luo said intently.

Qi Yunzhou thought for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said, "The teacher is talking about Princess Yongle? Indeed, if Master Lu is really a nobleman, wouldn't this marriage mess up the seniority?"

Old Master Luo waved his hand: "In front of that seat, seniority is a small matter. This old man would rather believe that this is one of Meng Yuan's tricks."

Qi Yunzhou frowned and said, "So, the teacher thinks Master Lu is the real one."

Old Master Luo shook his head again: "It's hard to say, everything is unknown now, Meng Yuan is missing, good or bad is uncertain, Lu Yannian's move is intended to win over, we must not act rashly."

Qi Yunzhou sighed: "But, teacher, what I'm afraid of is that we won't be able to stay out of the matter forever. Now you and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess are known as masters and apprentices, and you have a lot of conflicts with Lord Lu. If you keep silent, I'm afraid that Jin Yiwei will close his eyes It was cut with a knife."

Old Master Luo frowned: "According to what you mean, are you planning to lean towards Jin Yiwei?"

Qi Yunzhou spread his hands, and said calmly: "Teacher, to be honest, Junior Sister's methods are indeed remarkable, but compared with Jin Yiwei, I'm afraid it's still a little bit worse, and the key points are all on the edge of the knife. , if they really turn their backs one day."

Qi Yunzhou paused, and said in a low voice: "I don't think the imperial army can stop the Jinyiwei, especially now that the imperial army has a clear stand, and the junior sister can't do anything about it. The situation in Beijing and China has been one-sided from the beginning. I can't figure out how she will win. .”

Old Master Luo blew on his beard, stared and said, "Speak clearly!"

Qi Yunzhou smiled awkwardly: "Teacher, didn't I let you make the decision? If I had to choose by myself, then I would have to rely on neither side. I'm really not sure."

Old Master Luo frowned, and Qi Yunzhou continued: "Jin Yiwei does have the upper hand, but I know that Junior Sister is powerful, and she may not have the ability to turn things around. I can't think of it, and it doesn't mean that Junior Sister cannot do it."

As he said that, Qi Yunzhou said again: "Besides, what happened 20 years ago is full of doubts, and there is no conclusion yet. It is still uncertain whose side is right, so I think it is wise to protect yourself at this moment. Of course, if the teacher can stand up for me It's better to choose."

Old Master Luo looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Someone has already used the academy to test Jin Yiwei. In such a situation, how can you protect yourself wisely?"

"It's so difficult," Qi Yunzhou said vigorously, "Teacher, don't worry, I'll set off right away, first go to the junior sister's palace to kowtow to pay my respects, and then kneel outside Master Lu's mansion to plead guilty, so everything will be safe."

Old Master Luo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot when he heard this, he raised his hand and pointed at the door, angrily said: "Get lost!"

"Okay." Qi Yunzhou smiled and left the tea room smoothly.
