Lu Xingkong held the paper in his hand, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, and stared at the clouds in the sky, remaining silent for a long time.
After a long time, he asked, "How do we contact them?"
The old butler noticed that his master was moved, smiled and said: "Isn't Miss Qiji also at Starry Sky Academy? She and Young master Muyang were classmates. Why don't we let Miss Qiji get to know him first? "
Lu Xingkong folded the letter in his hand and put it away. He looked at the old butler and said, "Don't you find it strange?"
"What's strange?"
"Qiji had no intention of going to Starry Sky Academy, she always wanted to go to Westwind University — — I also asked her about this. But when the news that Li Muyang is going to enter Starry Sky Academy came out, she suddenly changed her mind. "Lu Xingkong looked pensive." Does she know something? "
The old butler also laughed. "Does Miss Qiji know the secret of that year? That was impossible. I think, it must be because her friends also chose Starry Sky Academy, so she followed them. Didn't Little Prince Chu Xun also go to Starry Sky Academy? "
Lu Xingkong looked at the old butler. "You suspect that Qiji went to Starry Sky Academy because of Chu Xun?"
"Master, you are so busy with government affairs that you don't understand the minds of these young people. They are at such an ignorant age, and they study and cultivate together every day, it's reasonable to have deep feelings for each other — — "
"Prince Fu is nominally in charge of the Monitoring Division and is Xu Da's direct superior. Xu Da was in a difficult situation in the Monitoring Division, although he controlled the central core and directly provided services to the Emperor. However, the Emperor did not trust him. He had not even summoned him for many days after he took office. His superiors were hostile, his colleagues ostracized him, and his subordinates were cunning and unwilling to put their lives on the line. If General Xu Da wanted to take control of the situation, it would be difficult for him to do so in a short time. We need to think of another way to break out of this situation. "
The old steward comforted him, saying: "Master, look at you, it's all you worry about. Since you have placed General Xu Da in the Monitoring Division, even if it is a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, he must still charge forward. You're going to give up now that you're tired? Besides, General Xu Da was brought up by you, and he has fought countless battles. On the battlefield, he had never been afraid when he fought with people head-on and drew blood. Can't he handle such a small difficulty? "
"The battlefield is dangerous, but the situation in the court is a hundred times more dangerous." Lu Xingkong sighed softly and said: "On the battlefield, you only need to fearlessly charge forward because you don't need to worry about your back at all. The ones behind them are all brothers that you can rely on for life and death. But in the imperial court, they had to look forward and guard against the back. Xiaoxin had to be cautious on both sides. If he wasn't careful, he would be swallowed whole, not even his bones would be left. Those people kill without spilling blood. "
"But what you said is right. Don't suspect the people you use, and don't use the people you suspect. I believe that General Xu Da will be able to break out of his cage and contribute to the country and the people. "
"Qiji is on good terms with the boy of Prince Fu, will this have any effect?" The old butler asked aloud. "Perhaps, this is also the best way to break out of the situation?"
Lu Xingkong shook his head. "Prince Fu has always regarded himself as an idle prince, drinking and listening to plays, running dogs and cockfights, but now that the Emperor has arranged such an important position, he most likely won't be easy to get along with, and will have his own ideas — —"
"Master, what do you mean?" The old butler looked at Lu Xingkong in astonishment, asking in a low voice.
"Prince Fu is a blessed person." Lu Xingkong said with a smile. "A person who was bestowed with the word 'Fu', how could he be a simple person?"
The shock in the old butler's eyes had yet to dissipate. He bowed and said: "I will pay attention to collecting information about this area."
Lu Xingkong nodded. "It's better to be prepared."
"Master, what about contacting little young master?"
"Forget it." Lu Xingkong waved his hand dismissively. "Qiji is indifferent, arrogant, proud and hard to get close to. If Qiji takes the initiative to get close to that boy, I'm afraid the gains will not make up for the losses. Not only will they not be close, their relationship will be destroyed. "
"Let's let nature take its course. That boy was born into the Lu Family, no matter where he is, he is the blood of my Lu Family. The Cui family is the best proof. If he had not killed Cui Zhaoren on the way to school, General Xu Da would most likely be dead by now, and our Lu Family would also suffer a catastrophe — — That person above and the Cui family worked together to set up a trap, they are ruthless and decisive. Pull one hair and the whole body will be affected. It's really dangerous. "
"He doesn't even know who the Lu Family is, but he has already saved my Lu clan. Could it be that this is not the will of the heavens? If we take the initiative to contact him now, it will attract the attention of some people. It's not good for both sides, it's better not to contact him. "
"Yes, Master." The butler answered with a smile. "I'm afraid Master will be worried."
Lu Xingkong patted the letter in his bosom, saying: "I've already contacted him."
"I'll ask someone to report on little young master Muyang's current situation."
Lu Xingkong did not refuse. "Li Yan and Luo Chi are well?"
The old butler was taken aback for a moment, then instantly understood his master's thoughts. He replied: "With Madam taking care of them, they naturally don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"Well, there's also that little girl — — Li Shinian, she's said to be a clever child. Lu Tianyu suffered a lot in front of her? "
"You know young master Tianyu's temper, he looks harmless, but when he stabs someone with a knife, he's very efficient. Some time ago he wanted to bully that girl, but he didn't expect that girl to be an upgraded version of him. He suffered a lot in her hands — — It is said that young master Tianyu now hides from her. He's even more afraid of Miss Qiji. "
Lu Xingkong laughed heartily. "Talented people come from the common people. Only when they have real contact with life, struggling in the streets for many years, can they really adapt to the situation — — This little girl is very interesting, I want to meet her. "
The old butler nodded. "She's very interesting. She's only been here for a few days, but everyone in the mansion likes her, and many people especially come over to chat with her. Everyone who sees her calls her Miss Shinian, no one would treat her as a servant's child — — "
Lu Xingkong nodded. "That's good. Don't let this girl be wronged again. "
"Yes. Master. "The butler answered.

Heart garden, the small courtyard where Kong Li lived.
Because the place where Xiahou Qianbai lived was called 'Medicine Hut', Kong Li was not to be outdone, he ordered someone to custom-make a plaque at the door and personally wrote: Heart garden.
Let's not talk about who is the first teacher of Starry Sky, or the most handsome man of Starry Sky, but at least he cannot be weaker than the other. Otherwise, how would he have the face to go out and see people in the future?
Li Muyang stood at the entrance of Heart garden, noticing that the courtyard door was wide open. Inside the courtyard, the smoke of incense curled up, and the soft chanting of Sanskrit resounded in his ears, making his mind instantly pure and extremely comfortable.
"This is the power of Buddhist scriptures." Li Muyang thought to himself. "Since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism have competed against each other. Countless geniuses have emerged from Buddhism and Taoism, creating countless strong people of Starry Sky. It can be said that Buddhism and Taoism are the two insurmountable peaks of the cultivation world, the most powerful existence in the world. Even the rapidly developing Changbai sword sect and the fiercely expanding sword schools of various countries are just juniors in front of them, incomparable. "
"Dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism is very hard, but as long as I can persevere, not afraid of hardships, and master their powerful power. In the future — — who the hell would want to slay a dragon? Who the hell would dare to come and kill me? "
With this thought, Li Muyang's demeanor became even more humble and courteous. He stood in the courtyard, calling softly: "Is Master Kong here?"
"Come in." The chanting of Sanskrit stopped, and Kong Li's voice sounded.
When Li Muyang entered, Kong Li was sitting on a praying mat, meditating and drinking tea.
Kong Li put down the teacup and motioned Li Muyang to sit on the opposite praying mat. "It's evening class time, I dare not slack off."
"Extraordinary people can achieve extraordinary feats. Master Kong was able to achieve what he has today not only because of his rare talent, but also because of his hard work and hard work. "
"That's true." Kong Li nodded in praise. "The world puts talent and physique first, but are there few people in the world who are truly talented? How many people can keep their heart and break out of the encirclement? Talent is gratifying, but to be able to persist for decades on one thing, without slacking off, without resorting to trickery, with a solid foundation and a profound understanding of Buddhism. You can still illuminate the starry sky and achieve supreme prestige. "
Li Muyang bowed and said in a low voice: "Student understands."
Kong Li raised his hand and motioned Li Muyang to get up. "About that matter, what do you think? You want to dual cultivate in Buddhism and Taoism, and I do intend to accept you as my disciple. However, this kind of thing depends on fate, but also on mutual understanding. It can't be forced. "
Li Muyang kowtowed again, saying in a loud and clear voice: "Li Muyang is willing to become Master Kong's disciple, serve you for life, and ask for advice from Master every day."
Kong Li nodded. "Well, I'll temporarily accept you as a registered disciple. When I'm free, you can come with me to Great Zen Temple. At that time, we'll officially set a master-disciple relationship and perform the ceremony of apprenticeship — — Our Buddhism is more orthodox, unlike some people who casually accept people as their disciples."
"— — Thank you, Master Kong." Li Muyang expressed his gratitude again.
Kong Li nodded. "You can dispense with the formalities. Let's talk about practical issues. "
Kong Li stared intently at Li Muyang, asking in a low voice: "What kind of gift do you want?"
