His father's gaze made Liu Fengchen feel an inexplicable pressure. Liu Fengchen didn't know why his father promised to provide Yun Fan with those sword armors. If the reason is just "for the sake of the country", it will not convince Liu Fengchen.

Of course, Liu Fengchen didn't know about Yun Fan's secret meeting with Liu Su. However, Liu Su revealed this matter, as well as the transaction between him and Yun Fan, to Lu Weiwen without reservation.

And Liu's move to provide Yun Fan with sword armor also made Xia Hong doubt Liu Su's current position. Originally, Xia Hong thought that his old friend Liu Suhui had kept a distance from Yun Fan as he had done during the small gathering in Liufu on the night of August 10, and always put the clan first, so as to avoid another catastrophe similar to the "Bright Light Change".

Xia Hong's original intention has always been to hope that the royal power can be better supervised, and then avoid the overflow of power. But unfortunately, with the changes in the internal situation of the country and even the situation in the world, everything is quietly changing.

Interestingly, when Xia Hong said the sentence "We have all changed" to Han Bin, Han Bin only used one sentence to make Xia Hong, who thought he knew Liu Su very well, realize that in fact, it was not him Xia Hong who knew Liu Su best, but Han Bin. Moreover, Liu Su knows Xia Hong better than Xia Hong knows him.

In Liu Su's heart, the family, the clan, and the country each have a certain proportion. But if you have to sort it, the Su Kingdom will be the first, the family second, and the clan third.

Many years ago, in Liu Su's heart, the family was put first, just like Liu Fengchen now. At that time, Liu Su was young and vigorous, eager to prove himself.

Later, the "Bright Light Change" made him realize that the power of overseer would be abused, and the families who left the clan would eventually be left alone and fighting their own enemies. As a result, Liu Su in this period put the clan first, the family in the second, and the state in the third.

Later, after the first battle of Jingweiguan, Yun Chen went and did not return, and his life and death are still unknown. Liu Su, who also had an unrelieved grudge against Yun Chen, also reconciled with himself and Yun Chen during this period, and led the children of the clan to fight against the Mexican Kingdom when it invaded the Kingdom of Dreams. During this period, in Liu Su's heart, the country was the first, the clan was second, and the family was third.

These lasted until the day Yun Fan returned.

Today's Liu Su still puts the country as the first place in his heart.

If Yun Fan did not return, or after Yun Fan returned, Liu Su led the clan to suppress Yun Fan, just like on the night of August 10, when he was absent from the banquet with the leaders of the clan, he openly expressed his stance with Yun Fan and drew a clear line. Maybe Xia Hong won't take the risk and join forces with Han Bin.

Liu Su understood that the two of them were just using each other. However, as Han Bin and Xia Hong began to join forces, the fate of the Liu clan was also pushed to the side of the Yun clan by them in this process.

In fact, Liu Su doesn't want to take sides now.

In his heart, the clan and the family are tied for second place. He didn't want to cause contradictions and estrangement between the clan and the family because he helped Yun Fan. It is a pity that estrangement and contradictions have arisen at this time, and Liu Su cannot avoid it.

Although, Liu Su did promise to help Yun Fan build that batch of sword armor for the sake of the country, and made a deal with Yun Fan in the process, that is, Yun Fan helped him find out who injured Liu Feng's soul to the way it is now, and he continued to make more sword armor for Yun Fan.

In fact, Liu Su also realized that after the end of the battle in Liuyun City, Yun Fan might take action against the clan, and it was indeed possible to integrate the Frost Sword as Xia Hong said. However, the premise of all this is based on the fact that Yun Fan can win the battle of Liuyun City and come back alive.

Xia Hong, on the other hand, was worried that once Yun Fan won the battle of Liuyun City and returned alive, his prestige would be difficult to suppress. At that time, even if Yun Fan wanted to openly target the clan, the clan could only swallow his anger. However, if Yun Fan is defeated in the battle of Liuyun City and dies in battle, then the clan can continue to use Yun Ji as a puppet, and use Yun Ji's hand to eat away at the Chiyan warriors and Sabe Iron Cavalry in the city little by little.

Putting aside the lost territory of recovering the country, at least holding the "Bright Moon and Mirror Moon" will not be too much of a problem. As long as Yun Fan is not against the clan, then the clan will play the role that Yun Fan should play in the next step and recover the kingdom of Shu.

This is the wishful thinking of Xia Hong and Han Bin.

Unfortunately, these willows had already expected it.

As a result, Liu Su did not gamble.

Because, not long ago, he finally learned Yun Fan's true background from this Bright Moon City, which had been blocked by the Frost Sword from all outside information. In addition, he was worried that the Qianyu clan, which had not moved for a long time, would make trouble in the process, so in the end, Liu Su chose to take a slightly biased position towards Yun Fan.

It can be seen from the conversation between Liu Su and Xia Hong yesterday that Xia Hong doesn't know about Yun Fan's true life experience at the moment. Maybe he had heard of it before, but in view of his hatred for Yun Chen and the jealousy of the Yun clan, Xia Hong did not treat these stories of "chasing the wind and shadows" as facts.

After learning that Yun Fan turned out to be the son of the barbarian kings Asaranti and Yun Han, Liu Su immediately concluded that Yun Fan would no longer be able to threaten the interests of the clan. Because, Yun Fan is not Yun Chen's bloodline. Although he has the blood of the Yun family in his body, it is a pity that Yun Fan is not surnamed Yun, and he cannot ascend to the throne of the Su Kingdom and succeed to the throne of the country.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Su will help Yun Fan.

However, these Liu Su did not share them with Xia Hong.

Because, when Liu Su realized that Xia Hong was testing him, Liu Su was also testing Xia Hong. He was eager to see if Xia Hong would continue to support his every decision, when he didn't know what kind of secrets were hidden behind Liu Su's every decision.

As a result, Xia Hong made his choice. And Liu Su also made his own choice after Xia Hong. In Liu Su's heart, the state of Su is still the first, but now the family is starting to rank second.

Xia Hong is not wrong about one thing, most people in the clan will still listen to Liu Su's words, and only Liu Su can reorganize the clan. Because of this, Xia Hong and Han Bin planned to shake Liu Su's position within the clan first, and then implement their plan.

This also forced Liu Su to start cooperating with Yun Fan in the true sense in order to maintain the family's status in the clan. After all, the purpose of Yun Fan and Liu Su is to hope that Shuguo can get better and better.

Therefore, in order to be able to realize this day, Liu Su must grasp the power of the clan in his own hands, instead of letting Han Bin and Xia Hong ruin all this because of their own selfishness and whispering.

After a long silence, Liu Fengchen sighed and said to his father: "If there is anything that father wants to ask now, just ask." ”

After hearing this, Liu Su turned to ask Liu Feng's soul: "If you are given a chance, what do you want to ask your brother?"

Liu Fengsoul was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then continue the topic just now, what does this matter have to do with Mr. Lu." ”

Liu Su didn't speak, and looked at Liu Fengchen silently.

But he heard Liu Fengchen say slowly: "Mr. Lu is now his father's protégé, not an outsider. In view of what has happened before, I think he is the only one who can help us get out of this dangerous situation. ”

Liu Fengsoul frowned: "Do you know Mr. Lu, are you so sure that he will definitely help our Liu Clan, instead of prioritizing the interests of the entire Su Country?"

Liu Fengchen asked rhetorically: "Why do you need to understand?"

Liu Fengsoul listened to it, and was suddenly speechless.

But I heard Liu Su ask Liu Fengchen at this time: "In your heart, if you want to sort the clan, the country, and the family, which one will you put first and which one will be at the end." ”

"I will put my family first and my country last. Liu Fengchen said without thinking, and added, "Anytime." ”

Liu Su smiled slightly, and then asked Liu Feng Soul: "If you were asked to rank these three, which one would you put first and which one would be at the end." ”

Liu Fengsoul thought for a while, and finally hesitated: "I will put the Su Kingdom in the first place, and the clan at the end." ”

Liu Su was curious: "Why." ”

Liu Fengsoul explained: "How can there be a home without a country?"

But he heard Liu Fengchen ask rhetorically: "However, if you put the clan at the end, you are not afraid that the final power will be abused, and then the tragedy of the "Mingguang Change" will be repeated again?"

Liu Fengsoul sighed: "Tragedy will always repeat itself, this is the rule of history, you can't stop it and can't avoid it." It will recreate the same ending in a different form. It is true that the abuse of royal power can be avoided through the checks and balances of the clan, but what if the clan power is too great?"

Liu Fengchen listened to it and pondered silently.

At this time, Liu Su instead cast an approving glance at Liu Feng's soul. In fact, what Liu Fengsoul just said happened to be what Liu Su was thinking during this time. And Liu Su's previous resentment towards Yun Chen, as well as his estrangement from the Yun family, also came to the surface after Lu You was arrested, part of the truth of the "change of bright light" surfaced, and the mystery of Yun Fan's true life experience was revealed, and he finally laughed at it.

However, these are the words hidden in Liu Su's heart. He didn't tell anyone, and he wouldn't tell anyone. This is Liu Su, who never talks to anyone about his heart. He knew it was dangerous.

In contrast, although Liu Fengsoul occasionally speaks freely, he lives his life very comfortably. Looking at his brooding brother, Liu Fengsoul asked, "So, does Mr. Lu have any tricks in the hands of our Liu clan? Otherwise, why is my brother so sure that Mr. Lu will give priority to the interests of our Liu clan?"

Liu Fengchen glanced at his father, Liu Su understood, and turned to explain for Liu Fengsoul for him: "This originated from a deal I made with Lu Weiwen. ”

Liu Fengsoul sighed: "Deal, it's another deal." ”

Liu Su said: "Without a deal, how can it be a win-win situation." ”

Hearing this, Liu Fengsoul looked at Liu Su helplessly: "So, what kind of deal did Mr. Lu make with our Liu family, what will he bring to our Liu family, and what can our Liu family bring to him?"

Liu Su paused, then turned to look at Liu Fengchen.

......

"What Lu Gongzi means, do you want me to help the Liu family stabilize the leading position of the clan, or do you want to find an opportunity to directly eradicate the Xia family and the Han family for the Liu family. Gu Yina looked at Lu Weiwen in front of her with interest, and it seemed that through the conversation she had with Lu Weiwen just now, she had gradually accepted Lu Weiwen's identity as a lobbyist of the Liu family. She paused and continued, "Also, why should I help the Liu family?"

Lu Weiwen: "If Mr. chooses to help the Liu family, it is equivalent to helping the country and helping me." ”

Guina: "What do you mean by that?"

Lu Weiwen: "Right now, because the Liu clan created a sword armor for the young master of Yun Fan, the Xia family and the Han family are more and more jealous of the young master of Yun Fan, and they are worried that the Liu family will begin to favor the Yun family in this process, and then shake the status of the clan in the kingdom of Shu. Therefore, yesterday afternoon, Xia Hong, the head of the Xia family, paid a visit to the Liu family. ”

Guina: "I don't think it's a visit, is it?"

Lu Weiwen: "Yes, the name of the visit is actually a temptation." ”

Gu Yina: "And what did they talk about?"

Lu Weiwen: "It's inconvenient to tell Mr. about this." ”

Gu Yina: "Master Lu, the sincerity is not enough." ”

Lu Weiwen: "It's not a good thing to know too much. ”

Gu Yina: "In that case, then I should be sure that this is not a trap specially set for the prince? After all, since we arrived in the kingdom of Shu, those spearheads and hidden arrows against the prince have never been put down. ”

Lu Weiwen: "That's why we need to find a way to change this situation, don't we?"

Gu Yina: "If you help the Liu family, you can change?"

Lu Weiwen: "At least, in my opinion, the Liu clan has not done anything really against Young Master Yunfan so far, and has also provided corresponding support for Mr. to build the 'Bright Moon and Mirror Moon' twin city fortifications." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Yina immediately remembered that it was because of Lu Weiwen's plan that she finally got the help of the Liu family. She didn't expect that there would be such a step today, and Lu Weiwen actually used this as a reason to hope that she would help the Liu family.

After thinking about it, Gu Yina gradually realized that every step she had taken before her was in the "calculation" that Lu had not heard. She rethought the path she had traveled before, and whether Lu Weiwen was really helping her or using her along the way.

Looking at Gu Yina, who was silent in front of him, Lu Weiwen continued: "There is not much time left for us, Mr. Gu. ”

Gu Yina took a deep breath and asked Lu Weiwen rhetorically: "For such an important matter, why don't you go to the prince and ask me." In the end, only he could finalize it. ”

Lu Weiwen: "After convincing Mr., I will personally go to the young master of Yunfan." This also eliminates the process of the young master having to persuade Mr. in turn, and can get twice the result with half the effort and kill two birds with one stone. ”

Gu Yina was surprised: "So, Lu Gongzi thinks that I am easier to persuade than the prince, right?"

Lu Weiwen smiled: "On the contrary, I think it is more difficult for Mr. to be persuaded than the young master." ”

Gu Yina: "Then you should come to me first." ”

Lu Weiwen: "I want to give it a try." ”

Gu Yina: "Lu Gongzi, please go back." ”

Lu Weiwen: "I hope Mr. Weiwen will consider it carefully." ”

Gu Yina sighed and made eye contact with Lu Weiwen, "If the son who is sitting in front of me now is still the one I saw at the banquet on the night of August 10, even if he sits at the end of the family, Lu Weiwen, who is never humble or arrogant, no matter what he asks me, I will find a way to help him." It's a pity that there is no if. ”

Gu Yina's words made Lu Weiwen fall silent.

"You're in a hurry, you're in a hurry to prove, you're in a hurry to change, you're in a hurry, and even though it's all in your plan and plan, you're also ignoring the simplest of things. She said lightly, her sapphire eyes and Lu Weiwen's gaze touched again, and Lu Weiwen asked puzzledly, "What's the problem?" ”

"People change. ”

Guina sighed and said loudly,

"Someone, send off. ”

As soon as her words fell, two samurai in heavy armor pushed open the door of the council hall, ready to invite Lu Weiwen out. At the last moment, Lu Weiwen suddenly said to Gu Yina: "Slow!"

Gu Yina: "Is there anything else that sir?"

Lu Weiwen: "Mr. is not curious why I became a protégé of the Liu family, and thinks that as long as Mr. helps the Liu family, he will help the country, the clan, and finally help me?"

Gu Yina was silent for a moment, then slowly turned around:

"I may have been curious before, but now I don't care. ”

After saying this, Gu Yina stepped behind the screen.

The two "Chiyan warriors" wearing heavy armor invited Lu Weiwen out of the meeting hall of the Luoxia Mansion. On the way out, Lu Weiwen repeatedly pondered where he had said something wrong, and finally returned to Lu Yuan, and gradually understood in the sigh of the five flowers. Actually, what Lu Weiwen said was right, but his attitude was wrong.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

......

Liufu, Tinglan Courtyard.

Liu Su handed over Liu Feng's question back to Liu Fengchen for answering.

After all, just now he said that he didn't need to know what kind of person Lu Weiwen was, so he could let Lu Weiwen be their Liu clan's saddle before and after. This made his younger brother Liu Fengsoul feel very disgusted.

Liu Feng Soul hates this relationship between using and being used, although this is the way of the world now, but Liu Feng Soul does not want such a thing to happen around him. It was precisely because Liu Su saw this that he asked Liu Fengchen to answer.

He didn't want it to be a barrier between the two brothers.

In fact, neither of the brothers knew that Lu Weiwen was sent by Liu Su to see Gu Yina. This is a plan made by Lu Weiwen and Liu Su after discussing with them, but now Lu Weiwen has failed to convince Gu Yina, so things have a different direction.

After a moment of silence, Liu Fengchen said lightly: "The reason why Lu Weiwen became his father's protégé is actually just a symbol. In order to tell the outside world that Lu Weiwen can speak on behalf of our Liu family in public in the future, and it also helped us avoid some troubles. For example, Lu Weiwen can replace his father or our Liu family to meet some people who are inconvenient to meet, and ask us to convey some inconvenient words. If the situation is not right, we can also clear up the relationship in time. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Fengchen paused specially to observe Liu Feng's emotional changes. At this time, in the eyes of Liu Feng's soul, there was a faint sense of anger. Then, Liu Fengchen said calmly: "In exchange, after everything is decided, our Liu clan will rehabilitate Shen Menglong, one of the "Star Twin Stars", as the head of the Shuguo clan. ”

Liu Fengsoul listened to it and looked at Liu Fengchen in surprise.

"Is it true what you say?"

Liu Fengchen didn't say anything, and turned to look at Liu Su.

Liu Su nodded and asked the sad and angry Liu Fengsoul.

"Anything else to ask?"

Liu Fengsoul forcibly suppressed his emotions and remained silent.
