The main courtyard of the land valve, in the bedroom.

The old lord was blind, and sat on the couch for a long time, he had already believed the news brought by his son, but he couldn't accept it anyway, such bad news.

What does this mean?

The whole valve, the whole Luodu, the whole world knows that in front of all the clansmen, he swore in front of the ancestral tablet that whoever becomes the great master of the Lu valve will give way to him, and he will never regret it, otherwise he will not be able to enter the ancestral hall......

Lu Shang never thought that he would break his oath. But he didn't expect that just a few days after he finished swearing, Lu Valve would actually have another great grandmaster!

This is like a resounding slap in the face, hitting the old lord's face, how can Lu Shangqing be embarrassed?

"The old man thought that within five years, there would be no great grandmaster...... there would be tears, and he sat there and muttered: "It turns out that people have already dug a pit, and when I jump in." I'm so stupid, really, I know that people have bad intentions, why do I still make the oath of Narausch? ”

Seeing his father's devastated and depressed appearance, Lu Xiu naturally felt uncomfortable. At this point, he had already tasted it, and Lu Xin and Lu Yun were selfish at that time. But then again, Lu Zhong was not arranged by Lu Xin. If it wasn't for my father who did such a bad thing, why should he rely on Lu Xin's father and son to help?

"If I hadn't made that vow, my father wouldn't have been able to pass that hurdle." Lu Xiu persuaded softly: "Even if you know that drinking to quench your thirst, you have no choice." ”

"No, at that time, the old man could sell their father and son to Xiahou Valve!" Lu Shang had lost his mind, and he slammed the headboard of the bed with hatred.

"That father is really going to be nailed to the pillar of shame." Lu Xiu smiled bitterly in his heart, and said secretly, you thought like that at the time, because you didn't know that Lu Xin had become a great grandmaster. The dignified Heavenly Rank Grand Master, is it something you can sell if you want to?

"Uh......" Lu Shang was stunned when he heard this, and there was no way to refute Lu Xiu's words. Only then did he feel a burst of fear, if he directly sold Lu Xin to Xiahou Valve at that time, then Lu Xin would reveal the strength of the Heavenly Rank Great Grandmaster, and he would naturally be able to get out of trouble easily. And once the valve knows that he has actually betrayed the great master of this valve, then what awaits him is only ruined and dead......

Lu Xiu looked out the window, the sky was already dark.

He knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he said to Lu Shang in a deep voice: "Father, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more. We have to keep our promises. ”

"No, no......" Lu Shang jumped up from the couch as if he had been stung by a scorpion, took three steps and two steps to the desk, and hugged his own valve master seal. Unless the old man is dead, no one will try to take it from me. ”

Lu Xiu looked at Lu Shang's pitiful and ridiculous appearance, and the crumbling image of his father in his heart finally collapsed completely.

He slowly walked in front of Lu Shang, and with a flick of his hand, he snatched the seal letter from the old lord's arms.

"Rebel, give it back to me!" Seeing that the seal of the valve master was taken away, Lu Shang pounced on Lu Xiu like crazy.

Lu Xiu raised the seal high in his left hand, away from the range that Lu Shang could reach. His right hand pressed his father's shoulder, and with a little force, he pressed the old lord back to the couch.

"Father, sober up." For the first time, Lu Xiu looked at Lu Shangdao, who was still struggling in vain, with a cold gaze: "You are too old to fight with young people......

"I'm still the lord ......," Lu Shang said obsessively.

"You're not anymore." Lu Xiu told Lu Shangdao the cruel truth unabashedly: "Let me tell you the truth, all the deacons except me have now gathered at the Great Elder's Mansion and asked the Great Elder to convene the Council of Elders overnight and elect Lu Xin as the new lord." ”

After a pause, Lu Xiu looked at Lu Shang expressionlessly and asked, "Father thinks that the Council of Elders will agree?" ”

"They can't hide these ...... from me" Lu Shang's struggle became more and more weak, and his flushed face gradually turned pale.

"With the father's oath here, the Presbyterians can do that." Lu Xiu let go of his hand, because Lu Shang was no longer struggling.

"Hehe, hehe......" Lu Shang seemed to have been completely drained, and sat there with tears in his eyes: "You have all abandoned me, you have all abandoned me, even my son is the same......"

"Father, on the contrary, the fifth child and I will take the initiative to support Lu Xin for the sake of my father and our family." Lu Xiu didn't deny it, he slowly handed the valve master seal to his father, and persuaded him in a soft tone: "With my father's wisdom, I naturally know what to do now, which is best for myself and our family." ”

Lu Shang tightly held the tiger button square seal carved from Hetian white jade in his hand, and looked at the eight seal characters of 'sex and faithfulness, benevolence and righteousness' on the top of the head. After a long while, Fang nodded and said, "You're right." How can someone take the initiative to give way and look good? In this way, at least the old man's life can be preserved. Lu Xin also wants to accept the favor between you and Lao Wu......"

"Father really understands the righteousness......" Lu Xiu's hanging heart finally let go. At this moment, he heard a noise in the outer courtyard.

"Father, here they are." Lu Xiu reminded Lu Shang softly.

"I really can't wait for a moment." Lu Shang smiled sarcastically, then raised his voice and said, "Come on, wash and change clothes for this valve master!" ”

The maid outside came in with a basin of water and teeth, clothes and shoes.

"Father take your time, son deal with it first." Lu Xiu whispered softly and wanted to leave the bedroom.

"No, let them wait. You also wait, stay with me. Lu Shang ordered without question.

"Yes." Lu Xiu naturally wouldn't disobey his father anymore, and stood aside obediently.

The maid placed the bronze mirror in front of the old lord and began to comb Lu Shang's hair.

Lu Shang looked at his old and thin face in the bronze mirror, and there was not a single green silk in his silver hair, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's time to retreat......"

。

When Lu Xiu came out with Lu Shang, he saw that the front hall was already full of people.

In addition to him and Lu Xin, the six major deacons, as well as the elders of the Presbyterian Council headed by Lu Xian and Lu Tong, all came.

The result is self-explanatory.

Lu Xiu nodded at everyone, indicating that he had also done it on his side.

In the hall, the original tense atmosphere eased a lot. The old lord has been accumulating power for a long time, whether it is Lu Xia or Lu Yin, they actually scare him from the bottom of their hearts. When the time comes, it's really a lot of trouble, won't it make other people see the joke again?

"What are you all doing here early in the morning?" Lu Shang slowly sat down on the main seat, looking at everyone with a smile.

"Valve master, we have something important to report." Everyone looked at each other, and Lu Xian was the representative to answer.

"If it's Lu Xin's matter, this lord already knows about it." Lu Shang smiled slightly: "Are you worried that I will not keep my promise?" ”
