Miss Luo was very smart. When King Chen looked over, she lowered her head and sobbed. Zhou Lang patted her shoulder and comforted her tenderly, but he disagreed with King Chen and said, "My sister is already so upset, and you still want to criticize her!"

Liu Chu was stunned: ...What did he say?! He saw that the couple was so affectionate and harmonious!

Chapter 87

Compared to the Da Sima Mansion next door, the Sikong Mansion is already quite leisurely. After all, there are differences between the three dukes. The water conservancy and sacrificial affairs that the Sikong Mansion is in charge of are not of much concern in the current situation of war in the north. It is so leisurely that Hengyang King Liu Mu came to the government office in the morning and took a look around and left. When Liu Mu came again, he brought back his newly acquired sword. The young man sat in the office room of the Sikong Mansion as if no one was around, and wiped his newly acquired sword carefully with a silk cloth.

The sword was like clear snow, reflecting the young man's cold and stern brows.

Liu Mu couldn't let go of the sword and wiped it lovingly. Suddenly, a young man's elegant face was reflected on his sword. The young man looked at his sword curiously, as if he was studying a broken sword to see if there was anything worth appreciating.

Liu Mu raised his eyelids and smiled: "What are you doing here?"

Lu Xian coughed and said, "We are all colleagues. I am here to take care of you, young master."

The actual situation is that the young men in the same yamen told him bitterly that since the Prince of Hengyang came to their Sikong Mansion, he has not done anything. The files piled up in the Sikong Mansion have not been seen by the young prince even once. Liu Mu is so idle, why does he come to the Sikong Mansion? Wouldn't it be better to find a yamen without practical work? However, the Prince of Hengyang is violent, and His Majesty still favors him. The young men don't want to be scolded in front of Liu Mu. It is said that Lu Erlang is good friends with the Prince of Hengyang, so the young men recommended Lu Erlang to test what the Prince of Hengyang means.

It happened that Lu Xian had other plans of his own, so he came directly to find Liu Mu.

Lu Xian asked indirectly, "Young Master, you will leave Jianye soon and go to the border like my third brother? Young Master, you will also go to Nanyang?"

Liu Mu said lazily: "The war in Nanyang is not serious enough for anyone to go there, right? I want to go to Yingchuan."

Lu Erlang immediately praised: "Yingchuan is a good place!"

Liu Mu: "...Do you think I'm going to travel?"

Lu Xian coughed dryly.

After a lot of idle chatter, Lu Erlang sat below the King of Hengyang and kept making indirect comments. Liu Mu rolled his eyes at him several times, but he was unaware of it. The young man had a warm smile on his face, which made Liu Mu secretly wonder and feel aggrieved. This Lu Erlang really didn't know how to read people's expressions. After talking for a cup of tea, Liu Mu still didn't get to the point. He put down the sword in his hand impatiently: "Why did you come to me? Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I am only staying temporarily in Sikong Mansion. I don't plan to do anything here with you."

Lu Erlang understood very well: "Don't blame me, you dislike us. A true man has ambitions to go far and wide. I feel the same way... I'll tell you something in secret. I'm doing my father's homework and I also plan to go to the border."

Liu Mu: "...You?!"

He took a quick look at Lu Erlang's figure. He was tall and handsome, elegant and gentle, and had the usual thin appearance of a scholar. Young men from noble families usually had outstanding looks. This young man had a fair face and long fingers. Such a person could only hold a pen, but he actually wanted to go to the battlefield?

Lu Erlang said shamelessly, "I was just thinking of saying hello to you, young master. After all, we should get to know each other. You must be a general who will go to war. I definitely can't go to the battlefield. How about I follow my third brother's example and become your military officer? With your help and my father, when you leave the capital, I can go with you."

Liu Mu was extremely surprised and looked at the abnormal Lu Erlang again. Imitating Lu Sanlang and Lu Yun? Although it was later confirmed that it was his own brother who wanted to kill him, Liu Mu actually had a suspicion in his heart that the assassin who came to his Hengyang Palace to spy on him that day was Lu Sanlang. Lu Sanlang was definitely not just a famous scholar... Lu Erlang and Lu Sanlang, they were a bit too different, right?

Liu Mu: "Are you serious?"

Lu Xian nodded.

Of course he had thought about it. After his third brother left, he worried about the ominous dream day and night, and was extremely anxious. He had been having dreams all the time, as if only something happened in reality, or something was different, would stimulate the dream to continue. Recently, after Lu Sanlang left, Jianye was peaceful, and Lu Xian had not had dreams again.

Without dreams, he couldn't figure out what would happen in the dream, and he didn't know how to prevent Saburo's death.

After much thought, Lu Xian decided that the best solution was to go to the border himself. He would watch over and take care of his third brother all the time, so there would be no chance of any accidents, right?

However, there were only two sons in the Lu family, and his younger brother had already gone to the border, so it was almost impossible for the Lu family to send him there again. Lu Xian's own father absolutely disagreed with his son going to such a dangerous place to take risks, so Lu Xian had no choice but to ask Liu Mu for help. However, after he talked for a long time, Liu Mu showed no interest and declined to thank him, obviously not wanting to work with him.

Liu Mu thought, why would I want a weak scholar to join the army? Not to mention a person with a brain disease? Why doesn't a person with a brain disease treat his disease properly, but has to run around everywhere?

Seeing that the young Prince of Hengyang was indifferent, Lu Xian had no choice but to use his trump card: "...I went to Yingchuan with you, and I am under your watchful eyes every day. You don't have to worry about me staying alone in Jianye and accidentally telling others about your secret of wanting to kill the king."

Liu Mu: “……?!”

Liu Mu's eyes were filled with a storm of wind and snow, and he kicked over the table in front of him. He stood up and asked sinisterly, "Are you threatening me?"

Lu Erlang was forced to sit back by the blizzard on the boy, his face pale. Seeing the murderous intent in the eyes of the King of Hengyang, Lu Erlang hurriedly said: "I want to go to the border with you! I stand on your side!"

Liu Mu stared at him for a long time with a cold gaze: "Do you really just want to go to the border without any other purpose?"

Lu Erlang smiled bitterly: "The other purpose is just to take care of my third brother, which has nothing to do with you. Sir, please help me."
