Chapter 1: Heavenly Destiny
No one is born a warrior, but for the sake of faith, he is willing to be the best.
"If any accident happens to my youngest son on his way back to Beijing from Shuozhou, I will blame all of you here."
As soon as these words came out, the guests who were pushing and changing their glasses stopped their glasses, and the faces of several of them gradually began to look ugly. The guests were all looking at the middle-aged man with a heroic figure who was hosting the banquet today. The middle-aged man was like a lion guarding a calf, intimidating everyone present.
"After coming to Shuozhou for so many years, I am finally going back to the capital, but I still have some memories of this city. There is really no entertainment in this ancient society, and I don't know if there is anything interesting in the capital. A young man in brocade sitting in the carriage shook the feather fan in his hand and said to himself.
Lu Zhan was originally an art student, majoring in choreography and directing, who would have thought that he would once become the second son of the Lu family.
Lu Zhan left the capital at the age of twelve and came to Shuozhou, and now he is sixteen years old.
A young eagle leaves the cage, not knowing whether it will fold its wings in the storm outside, or become an eagle soaring above the sky. The great wheel of history slowly began to turn.
Lu Zhan looked at the sky outside the car window, then closed the curtain and closed his eyes to recuperate. I thought silently in my heart: It seems that it was really a wise choice when I chose a major, and when I travel to this era, it seems that I will have to rely on the movies and TV series I usually watch in the future.
Under the gray sky, a group of armored attendants stood guard beside a carriage like tall pines.
"We will definitely swear to protect the second son!" A firm and resolute voice came into the ears of Lu Tingchen, the young master of the Lu family.
I saw Lu Tingchen standing next to a carriage wearing a white robe and silver helmet, pressing the sword at his waist, looking at his cousin who was about to get on the car and leave here, his cold eyes revealed a little relief.
"This time, you will send the second brother to Beijing, and everything on the way will be entrusted to you."
The words fell, and the dozen or so people dressed as warriors said goodbye to Lu Tingchen and turned over and left. After sending off the second brother, Lu Tingchen resolutely strode into the Taishou Mansion behind him. At this moment, Shuozhou, where Lu Tingchen is located, is already in turmoil, and in the sand table deduced by the Taishou Mansion, the city represented by Shuozhou is gradually surrounded by the banners of Jin and Nanyan.
Lu Tingchen, who was in command, drew his sword and commanded the deployment of the city defense in an orderly manner, with starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and there was no trace of panic on his angular face.
The generals below saw Lu Tingchen's calm arrangement, although there were 80,000 enemies and less than 20,000 defenders in the city, they were relieved when they saw Lu Tingchen's demeanor.
After the generals retreated, Lu Tingchen looked at the sky outside the window. The darkened sky blew with a little cool wind on the land characters fluttering on the city's head. The enemy was outnumbered, and Lu Tingchen had no certainty of victory in his heart, so after sending his cousin out of Shuozhou, he was able to fight to the death without worry.
A carriage and a dozen attendants galloped along the official road, and they had to leave Shuozhou before the armies of the Jin and Southern Yan kingdoms were completely surrounded.
"Uncle Fu, do you think my cousin will be in danger in Shuozhou?" A richly dressed young man sitting in the carriage asked the old man beside him worriedly.
"Second son, Shuozhou is an important town in the north of my Lujia family, if Shuozhou is lost, all the lands north of the Lujia River will be exposed to the enemy's edge. The eldest prince has always been resourceful and will be fine. The old man named Uncle Fu said with relief.
Suddenly, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the master and servant in the carriage fell hard, and before they could get up and ask what had happened, they only heard an angry shout: "The people in front of you should leave quickly, otherwise we will not be polite to you!"
The second son of the Lu family touched his buttocks, got up and walked out of the carriage to look at the people in front of him.
A ragged man with a saber stood in the middle of the road with his body bent over, and said in a weak tone: "Can you heroes make it convenient and save your next life...... Ahem. ”
"We still have important things to do, this strong man should quickly give way, maybe there are others passing by." The leading attendant spoke with a threatening meaning, and the horses under him gasped for breath, faintly stepping over the people in front of them.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, "they are all people fleeing for their lives, and meeting is fate." Let him come into the carriage. ”
A loud voice gave the man a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
As soon as the attendant at the head wanted to refute, he was scolded back by his eyes, so he had to dismount and help the person to the carriage.
Lu Zhan and Uncle Fu took the person, and the injured middle-aged man said softly: "Thank you for the grace of the son's life, I don't know the name of the son."
"Under the surname Lu Ming Exhibition, the inland family of the river. Seeing that a strong man needs help, it is naturally his duty. ”
"It turned out to be the inland family of He, that's it, Lu Gongzi, you stretch out your hand, I have something to give you." After speaking, he trembled and stretched out his right hand, took out a box from his arms and handed it to Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhangang wanted to ask something, but heard the man say: "Lu Gongzi, this box must be kept alive, and the contents of the box are ...... It's ......" before the person finished speaking, he lost his life.
The young man's unique curiosity drove Lu Zhan to open the brocade box, and Uncle Fu on the side grabbed Lu Zhan's hand stretched out to the brocade box, and whispered: "Second young master, this is someone else's, maybe this is what he wants to entrust his son to hand over the brocade box to others."
On the side of the road, there were several strong men in coarse cloth clothes, who seemed to be dressed like ordinary people, but the steel knives made of stainless steel in their hands showed their unusual identity.
One of them said to the man in charge, "What should I do if this person has fled to the Lu family's convoy?"
"We are short of manpower and should not do it at this moment, so go back and report to the adults first, and see what the adults say. Evacuate first. ”
Lu Zhan looked at the man who fell in the carriage, and secretly thought: Since I let me meet you, it can be regarded as fate, wait for me to find a good place to bury you.
In a flash, it was a few days, and the Lu family's convoy slowly drove into the Guangqu Gate of the capital, and Lu Zhan, who had been dull in the carriage for a long time, decided to ride the horse's horse to breathe.
The capital is really different from Shuozhou, and the prosperity in the capital is still as always, with busy traffic and flowers. The endless flow of pedestrians and the lively shouting of hawkers seem to indicate that this is a peaceful and prosperous era. In the end, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I can't feel the flames outside at all.
Lu Zhan, who was riding a horse on the street, was dressed in a brocade robe and took off the appearance of a gentleman, and the people around him knew what kind of person he couldn't mess with when he was young, and when he saw Lu Zhan, he unconsciously took a few steps back, intentionally or unintentionally giving Lu Zhan a small path on the street.
Lu Zhan, who was riding a horse and shopping, looked around boredly, and suddenly there were bursts of exclamations in front of him. The young man's curiosity was aroused, and he pinched the horse's belly between his legs to see what was so surprising to the people.
The surrounding people saw Lu Zhan in brocade clothes and consciously got out of the way.
An ordinary person was lying on the ground in embarrassment, and it seemed that this person had crashed into the frame of a wealthy family.
A touch of shadow came into Lu Zhan's eyes, with bright lips and fresh teeth, and skin like a beautiful woman. I saw her pointing to the man lying on the ground and cursing. This couldn't help but make Lu Zhan feel the strictness of the ancient class stratification. Lu Zhan secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity, such a peerless beauty was a high-flying and domineering lady.
Lu Zhan heard the discussion of the people around him, saying that the man lying on the ground was injured by the domestic servant of the stunning woman. The surrounding onlookers confirmed Lu Zhan's judgment just now. Such a beauty turned out to be a character like Zhu Jiuzhen.
Lu Zhan was not used to seeing this kind of incident, but he saw Lu Zhan riding on horseback and said to the beautiful woman: "What a big family with a good temperament and a big heart." For such an ordinary person, he was beaten and scolded. I don't know which family trained the demeanor. The tutors in your house are really not ordinary people. ”
After saying that, Lu Zhan rode in front of the people lying underground, and looked at the stunning woman in front of him with a pretended frivolous look. I saw that the woman had an angry look on her face, and before the woman could speak, the maid next to her spoke: "I don't know which family's son-in-law is so nosy, I'm afraid this behavior is not to talk to my young lady, right?"
The people around who watched the lively people watched Lu Zhan's dress of the brocade boy were even more excited, after all, such a good show of wealthy families arguing on the street is rare on weekdays.
Without waiting for Lu to open his mouth to refute, he heard the beautiful woman say with a little anger: "Miss Ben will not change her name or change her surname, and Zhang Yu, the eldest lady of the Zhang family in Pingyuan County, is also." I don't know which gentle son the son was trained in? ”
"I'm not a gentle son, I'm just a side branch from a small and remote place. The inland land exhibition of the inland part of the river is also. ”
Hearing Lu Zhan report his name, Zhang Yu suddenly remembered that he heard his father say a few days ago that the nephew of Lu Ji, the head of the Lu family, was coming to the capital, and I heard that if Lu Zhan's father had not passed away early, the next generation of the Lu family's heir would probably be this Lu Zhan.
Zhang Yu opened his mouth again: "I also asked Lu Gongzi to distinguish things and then come out as a hero, this person obviously wants to blackmail me." Please also ask Lu Gongzi to be careful in the future, I am a woman's family, and I will hold grudges. Be careful that I poison you. ”
After that, Lu Zhan watched the arrogant Miss Zhang get into the carriage and gradually disappear on the long street. The man lying on the ground was long gone. Lu Zhan sighed in his heart, there were people touching porcelain in ancient times.
"Young master, you have to wait for the old man, you can't catch up with the young master when you're old." This vicissitudes of voice suddenly made Lu Zhan hear that it was Uncle Fu.
Throwing away the excited look of the beautiful woman he met just now, he turned his head to show a rigorous family education and a gentle and elegant demeanor. This Uncle Fu has been teaching those rules of etiquette since he was a child. This can make Lu Zhan, who was born in art and advocates freedom and carefree, hurt his brain. can only show a gentle and elegant appearance in person, and continue to be free and easy in a place where Uncle Fu can't see.
There were still a few people dressed as servants standing behind Uncle Fu, and it seemed that the people sent by his uncle had arrived to greet them.
Follow this group of people through the street, step into the door of the two big characters of Lu Mansion written by gild, and sigh that they will return to the Lu family after four years.
"Uncle Fu, you look at the small snacks so delicate, you can also have a piece." Lu Zhan sat in the pavilion and handed the small snack in his hand to Uncle Fu.
After eating a small snack and taking a sip of tea, but after a short while, I suddenly felt dizzy, my limbs were weak, and I fell into the gazebo in the dark.
