Chapter 468: Hidden Hand
"Father, you know best in your heart, now that the court is surging undercurrents, and the country is about to change. On the eve of the change of color, only by twisting into a rope and making efforts in one place can we survive the crisis! I only heard Lu Xiu say urgently: "But my father went to see Xiahou Ba at this time, and I, Lu Valve, will no longer have independence at all." Xiahou Ba must have asked his father to take Lu Xin's father and son as a vote, and as soon as Lu Xin's father and son died, my Lu Valve's vitality was greatly injured and his luck was cut off, so I had to obediently follow Xiahou Valve to survive for a while. When the time comes, Lu Wen regards himself as the agent of the Xiahou valve, shouting everywhere, what can the valve owner do? At that time, without outsiders' hands, my land valve will be removed from the seven valves! ”
Lu Xiutong's eyes were red, and for the first time in his life, he looked directly at his father, and said in a deep voice: "Father, for the sake of this valve, you have to believe in his father and son once no matter what!" ”
The anger in his eyes shocked Lu Shang and made him feel cold.
Lu Shang couldn't help but feel depressed. It turns out that even his own son doesn't support him, but you can imagine that once he bows to Xiahouba, how will Lu Valve look at him? I'm afraid no one will take himself as a valve owner seriously, right?
"Well, follow your orders, I'm not going." Lu Shang held the sedan railing and slowly walked out of the sedan chair, not wanting to look at Lu Xiu again.
"The old man will let you toss, but see if I am ruined and ruined, who can keep you and the father and son"
After the old lord finished speaking, he returned to the dormitory with the support of the steward, leaving only Lu Xiu kneeling in the snow under the corridor......
Throughout the day, Lu Yun was a little distracted.
waited until the door of the square was closed after dark, and the guards sent out to explore the wind came back and told him that Lu Shang had not gone out all day. Lu Yun relieved his mind at this time, and smiled at Lu Xin, who was opposite the chess scale: "It seems that my father still understands the uncle, and he really stopped the valve master." ”
In the whole plan, Lu Yun's only worry was that Lu Shang would betray his father and son and bow to Xiahou in order to protect himself, and the situation would become very unfavorable to him. But Lu Xin told him very firmly that Lu Xiu would stop Lu Shang. And as long as it's Lu Xiu, he will definitely be able to stop it.
Sure enough, at the end of the day, the valve owner didn't go out. And tomorrow is the day before the ancestor worship, and all the valve owners will bathe and fast, and close their doors to thank guests, so Lu Shang didn't go to see Xiahou Ba today, so he won't go to see him again
Lu Xin sat upright with a smile, his eyes shining brightly, and said: "Brother who has played since childhood, I naturally know the character of the eldest brother. He is very knowledgeable and takes the overall situation into account, if he is not trapped by the demons, he is really the best choice for the owner. ”
"Hehe" Lu Yun smiled noncommittally: "Thinking about it, there is still something that needs to be done by my father personally." ”
"What's the matter?" Lu Xin asked.
"On the day of ancestor worship, it's best to strike while the iron is hot to take down the Great Elder." Lu Yun twisted the jade chess pieces in his hand, and said slowly: "I'm afraid that relying on the valve master alone will not be enough." ”
"Hmm." Lu Xin nodded approvingly. The Council of Elders is used to check and balance the Lord of the Valve, and it is naturally difficult for Lu Shang to reach into his hand. Over the years, the Council of Elders has long been self-contained, even if the Second Elder and the Lord get closer, it is just to borrow Lu Shang's power and counteract the aggressive pressure of the Great Elder.
"The valve master's attack on the Great Elder will inevitably cause the elders to be angry with each other. It is likely that when the time comes, even the Second Elder will remain silent. Lu Xin pondered for a moment and said: "After all, the Second Elder has been severely suppressed by the Great Elder over the years, and the Great Elder has too many comrades, so he can't help but be afraid." ”
"So, we have to dispel the scruples of the second elder," Lu Yun looked at Lu Xin fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "Let him stand up when the time comes, and help the lord hammer a few nails on Lu Wen's coffin board!" ”
"Of course it's great to be able to do that." Lu Xin also looked at Lu Yun and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to see the second elder?" ”
"My father went alone, but I was afraid that he would be alone." Lu Yun smiled faintly, dropped the chess pieces and said, "If you can get Uncle Lu together, then a big thing can be done." ”
"Lu Pong?" Lu Xin patted his head when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "How did I forget him!" "Lu Pang is Lu Xin's cousin and the son of Lu Xiang's eldest brother Lu Tong.
Lu Xiang and Lu Tong's branch are also regarded as descendants in Lu Valve, and the last five generations have a place in the Council of Elders, although it is not as good as the generation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a corpse vegetarian meal when it is passed to Lu Tong. But after one or two hundred years of inheritance, there is always its own business in the presbyterian church, and there are still some people who are willing to advance and retreat together.
Lu Xin thought for a while, but he was a little embarrassed: "Lu Pang is easy to say, but my uncle, I'm afraid he doesn't want to stand up for us." ”
Lu Tong and Lu Xiang have never been on good terms, if it wasn't for Lu Tong's secret troublemaker, Lu Xiang would not have been driven to live in Luonan. For more than ten years, the two sides have become more and more married, and it was not until Lu Xin became the deacon of the land valve and Lu Yun became famous that there was a sense of ease. But it is also limited to Lu Pang coming to visit Lu Xiang, and Lu Xin going to return the salute to Lu Tong, this kind of movement between juniors.
However, this is also understandable, after all, being implicated by Lu Xin, Lu Tong has completely lost the trust of the Great Elder. After the father and son had a bad relationship with Xiahou because of the divorce, Lu Tong didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore.
"No matter how you say it, it's also breaking bones and connecting tendons," Lu Yun said confidently: "Besides, we don't make it difficult for the eldest grandfather, we just let him push the boat afterwards, and I believe that my father and Uncle Pang can talk about him." ”
"Okay, I'll try it tomorrow." Lu Xin thought about it, and there was really nothing to be embarrassed about, so he nodded in response......
Early the next morning, Lu Xin asked people to prepare a gift and go out, and he didn't turn back until dark.
"How's it going, father?" Lu Yun took Lu Xin's warm hat and big hat, and asked softly.
"It's all done." Lu Xin's expression was full of joy, not at all like a busy day outside. "Uncle is also fed up with the anger of the Great Elder, and promises that if the valve master can do it tomorrow, he will do what I want. The second elder is a little more difficult to do, but he also knows that tomorrow is the time when my land lord lives and dies, and I have explained the truth to him, and I believe that he will not be confused. ”
"Well, father has worked hard." Lu Yun nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Sister made a warm pot, just wait for you to come back for dinner." ”
"Haha, don't say it sooner." Lu Xin was overjoyed when he heard this, and made a rare joke: "Is it that if you don't complete the task, you won't have anything to eat?" ”
"I thought that Lu Lin's family would also keep food." Lu Yun also smiled.
"When has this been," Lu Xin couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "How can the second elder still have the heart to keep food?" I'm afraid he won't have time to sleep tonight. ”
"Also, who told my father to come to the door so late?" Lu Yun smiled apologetically, and said heartlessly: "But it doesn't matter, anyway, I can't sleep a lot tonight, and the second elder is not worried about being without a companion." ”
"Hahaha." Lu Xin laughed twice and walked side by side with Lu Yun to the greenhouse. There, Lu Xiang and Lu Ying were already waiting for them in a hot hot pot.
