The night is silent, and the West Corner Courtyard is quiet and silent.

Lu Zheng sat upright on the chair, Ying'er rubbed his shoulders behind him. His emotions were unstable, his thoughts flew, and his heart seemed to be unattained.

When the Lu family came, he subconsciously refused to go to Jiangning without any hesitation. With the support of the old lady of the Zhang family, he easily did this. Hong Shen had no choice but to have no chance to put pressure on Lu Zheng. If he was unwilling to live in Yangzhou, he would have to go back to Jiangning in shame within a few days.

However, Lu Zheng's mood could not be calm. He was a child of the Lu family, and this could not be changed no matter what. Can he stay in Yangzhou forever?

Yangzhou is just a small place, Dakang is very big, and the world is very big. If Lu Zheng wants to live his life vigorously, Yangzhou can only be a springboard, and even Jinling is just a springboard.

To be honest, Lu Zheng actually had some kind of inspiration deep in his heart. The pool in Yangzhou is too small to accommodate him, and he wants a bigger stage.

However, the Lu family in Jiangning made him feel resistant. When he thought of going to Jiangning and facing such a complex and huge family, he felt very resistant.

You should know that the Lu family is not comparable to the Zhang family. Although the Zhang family is known as the four great masters of Jiangnan, it has actually declined. With such strength as the Zhang family, it can only be regarded as a third- and fourth-rate family in Jiangnan.

However, the things inside the Zhang family are so complicated enough that the Lu family is many times bigger and many times more complicated than the Zhang family.

Jinling was ten times larger than Yangzhou. It was the place of the two palaces and the location of the Southern Court. The prosperity of the south converged here. Lu Zheng's mind was filled with countless reverie for all this.

"Young Master, do you have any worries?" Ying'er said softly.

Lu Zheng sighed lightly and said, "I'm here today, I'm going to pick me up back to Jiangning!"

"Hmm?" Ying'er's hands shook, her face changed slightly. Lu Zheng raised his hand and grabbed her little hand and said, "Even if he goes to Jiangning, I will take you with me!"

"Uh..." Ying'er's body stiffened even more, but her face turned red suddenly, and then her heart became extremely quiet, and her mood became comfortable for no reason.

After nothing happened all night, Lu Zheng tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The next morning, he asked Sun San to prepare a car, and the master and servant went to the Green Bamboo Forest.

The green bamboo forest is still the same as before. The bamboo forest is lush and the winding paths are secluded. However, perhaps because of the mood, Lu Zheng felt that today's thatched cottage was a little different.

Inside and outside the thatched cottage, there are fewer and fewer children who are usually busy, and they are deserted. Although it is summer, Lu Zheng feels a bleak scene.

Lu Zheng got off the carriage and went straight to the study where Master Yan usually stayed. In the study, Master Yan was sitting on a recliner, and there was a boy standing behind him. Looking at this boy, Lu Zheng was very unfamiliar with him. He had never seen him before.

Apart from this boy, he never saw anyone inside and outside.

"Shi Yan..." Lu Zheng bowed respectfully and wanted to speak. Old Yan opened his eyes. His eyes looked very turbid and had little spirit:

"You are finally here! I guess you should come, so I'll wait for you!"

"Hmm? Master Yan, are you...are you leaving?" Lu Zheng said in surprise.

The old man nodded slightly and smiled and said, "Yes, it's silence. If you don't leave, you may not even have the person to collect the body! Aren't you leaving too? If my news is correct, Jiangning seems to have come!"

Lu Zheng was speechless and nodded, "No, but Master Yan, I...I'm not ready to go to Jiangning for the time being, I..."

"You can delay for a while, can you delay for a lifetime? Next year, can you still stay in Yangzhou? The gentle village, the tomb of heroes, and at the age of sixteen, there is a decayed breath on your body. Alas..." The old man sighed, Lu Zheng lowered his head, and could not say a word.

The old man paused and said, "I have taught you a lot of things. Those things are destined to ferment in the torrents and stir up the storm between life and death.

What I teach you is dead, just like I stay in this green bamboo forest. Even if I have the talent of heaven and earth in my heart, I will die.

You are only sixteen years old, so you should stay together like me and die of old age in the mountains and forests?"

Lu Zheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed seriously, and said, "The teacher's teachings, the disciples suddenly realized. Even if there are many difficulties and dangers in the future, they cannot avoid it. If they cannot avoid it, they have to rely on themselves to go through it.

You can’t choose your own life, sometimes there is only one way, and if you can’t move forward, there will be no way. I understand!”

After Lu Zheng said these words, he felt mixed emotions. He suddenly realized that he could no longer stay in Yangzhou. Master Luo left, and now Master Yan was about to leave. Gui Liang was in a half-rescue state. Who else was around Lu Zheng?

The Zhang family has never had a sense of belonging in Lu Zheng's heart. Yangzhou is not his home at all. He can only stay for a while in Yangzhou at most. As Master Yan said, unless he gives up his ambitions, is willing to live a mediocre life, but can he be willing to do so?

Master Yan's words were really a wake-up call, which made Lu Zheng wake up in horror.

Master Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at him very sensible. After a long time, he said, "You have followed me for so long. I have taught you all the things I can teach you. Some of them you don't know can't teach you. You are not lucky, but God has given you intelligence. However, you have never lacked intelligent people in the world. Brother Zheng, you must remember that your mind is the first, your mind is clear, and you will have a world in your heart.

If you have the universe in your heart, you will have your own pattern. The bigger the pattern you have, the bigger the thing you can do. Great prosperity is vast and vast, and the vast world is not the same. Don’t wait until I’m old and sigh that I’m not going to be too late!”

After Master Yan said that, he slowly stood up from the recliner. At this moment, a carriage drove into the green bamboo forest. The boy behind him supported him and kept holding him onto the carriage.

"Master Yan, where are you going? Disciple...Disciple..." Lu Zheng originally wanted to say that he was going to find him in the future, but when he thought of Master Yan's age, as he said, it was almost dead.

When he went there, Lu Zheng would not have a good time to see each other in the future? When he thought of this, Lu Zheng felt extremely uncomfortable. He could no longer say the words afterwards, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Mr. Yan taught him too much this year. Lu Zheng spent countless days in the Green Bamboo Forest. Although this place is not as magnificent as the Zhang family, Lu Zheng felt extremely free. Unfortunately... there is no banquet that will last forever, and Mr. Yan is finally leaving.

"Brother Zheng, go back, I am just an old man, what's there to worry about? There is still a beauty in Yushan and a girl in the family. Isn't that bad old man worth worrying about? Haha..."

Master Yan laughed in the carriage, and the carriage slowly left the bamboo forest. As soon as Master Yan left, the inside and outside of the hut was empty and there was nothing left. The lush green bamboo forest seemed to have no vitality. This place suddenly made Lu Zheng strange.

Lu Zheng returned to Xijiaoyuan with thoughts. Because the people from the Lu family had not left yet, Lu Zheng temporarily moved from the academy. The environment here seemed unfamiliar. In the afternoon, Ying'er happily came over and said:

"Young Master, the people from the Lu family went to Yangzhou to find out your name. Haha, they were all confused, especially when they heard that your house was rewarded by the Prince of Qin, the leader completely gave up the idea of ​​bringing you back to Jiangning.

My second grandma had just told me that the man surnamed Hong had already said goodbye to the old lady, saying that she would leave by boat tonight."

Lu Zheng frowned slightly. Hong Shen was leaving, but he was not happy at all. For some reason, he became even more irritable. He became restless. He always felt as if something was about to happen.

He stood and paced, his heart pounding. As soon as he sat down, he felt inexplicably panic. Suddenly, he felt his heart became empty, a feeling he had never had before.

You should know that he is a human being for two lives now, and his life experience is so rich. He looks like a teenager, but his character and scheming are far beyond his actual age. He has never been so panicked before.

Ying'er also felt strange about Lu Zheng's condition, but she thought in her heart that Lu Zheng was thinking about homesickness. After all, Lu Zheng is from Jiangning, and it has only been more than a year since he came to the Zhang family!

Ying'er has also heard of Lu Zheng's situation in the Lu family. He clearly cannot survive in the Lu family. He came to the Zhang family now. After Lu Zheng came to the Zhang family, Ying'er clearly had his experience.

Through these experiences, Ying'er could also imagine Lu Zheng's experience in Jiangning. The young master's life was really hard. It was actually worse than many servants. God is really unfair to him.

In this state of uneasiness, suddenly a scream came from the west courtyard, and then Lu Zheng heard Liu Song's voice.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, where are you?" Liu Song's voice was extremely panicked. Lu Zheng suddenly stood up and his face changed.

Before he could walk out of the main hall, Liu Song had already broken into the door and rushed into the yard.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

"Sister, my sister is gone, she is gone!" Liu Song said. After he said that, the huge man cried out.

"Ah?" Lu Zheng took a deep breath, unable to believe his ears.

Liu Song said with a sad face: "I'm really leaving. This is the letter he left to me. The one who took her away was the old man who lives in the bamboo forest you often go to. Look at this letter..."

Lu Zheng took the letter from Liu Song. He carefully read the content of the letter and was completely confused. Looking at the handwriting on the letter, the handwriting on it was beautiful, which was undoubtedly Liu Wan's handwriting.
