The people who appeared in front of Duanmu Yuhua at this moment were the Lu family who had fallen into seclusion more than ten years ago. No one knows where they went, let alone why they left.

The Lu family is the most alternative existence among the families, and they were given by the mandate of heaven a hundred years ago, and they have been responsible for raising the monarch for generations.

The last emperor of the Lu family to appear in the eyes of the world was Lu Xingyun, and the disciples he put on the bright side were only known to the original deposed prince Duanmu Qinghui and the current prime minister Lu Weizhen.

Many people speculate about Lu Weizhen's identity, whether he is Lu Xingyun's child or a blood relative of the Lu family. He has never been noncommittal about these questions.

After the abolition of the crown prince and the treason of the enemy, the Lu family naturally could not escape the involvement, and their reputation was greatly damaged. But after all, they have taught generations of monarchs in a hundred years, and their merits and demerits have been offset by their demerits.

After Duanmu Qingjia ascended the throne, he only abolished Lu Xingyun's position as emperor. Then there is the declaration that there will be no more such an official office from now on.

As a result, the Lu family was born, and they no longer involved in the affairs of the king, nor did they care about the affairs of the world.

Lu Xingyun seemed to take his family to live in seclusion, and was silent for many years. However, during this period, many incidents in Beixiang, Xiliang, and Dongyang were very similar to his style in terms of resolution.

Although Lu Xingyun taught a prince who collaborated with the enemy and treason, if you talk about intelligence and strategy, no one can compare with him today.

Yes, a few years later, Lu Weizhen was born. He won the champion in one fell swoop, and since then he has risen step by step, and has been reused by the emperor.

Lu Weizhen swept through the officialdom with thunderous means, which seemed gentle and harmless on the surface, but many people planted it in his hands. With the help of his hands, Emperor Yuan De uprooted many hidden stakes and hostile forces in the court.

Although they are masters and apprentices, Lu Weizhen and Lu Xingyun are diametrically opposed people. One of them was made in the family and defeated in the family. One has become oneself and has never been defeated so far.

Emperor Yuande Duanmu Qingjia once asked Lu Weizhen.

"What do you want?"

Is it to seek fame and fortune, or to use this to revive the Lu family, or do you have any other ideas?

Emperor Yao Duanmu Zetang also asked Lu Xingyun like this, and his answer was like this.

"I hope that the dust and mist will benefit the mountains and rivers. It is hoped that the light at the end of the candle will brighten the sun and the moon. I am willing to use this body as a boat to cross the common people. ”

The young boy replied with a modest smile and armrest.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is a layman, and he has nothing to rely on. What is sought is only under one person, and stretched out to ten thousand, only a saint can do it. ”

"The eldest husband has the talent of the world, how can he be empty and old under the forest spring."

What you are accomplished, you must be held back by what you are.

Lu Weizhen's achievements do not come from his background, not from his family, but only from himself. Yes, before he became the prime minister, no one had ever associated him with Lu Xingyun.

It's just that at a banquet, the emperor suddenly asked curiously.

"Who is Lu Qing's teacher?"

The white-clothed guest was silent for a moment, and then said.

"Lu Xingyun."

When the world saw Lu Weizhen, he was already the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person. Speaking of him, people put Lu Xingyun as his husband first.

It seems that it is because of this that he has been able to achieve what he is today. It seems that because of this, it is not surprising that he can do all this.

But they didn't know that he only told his relationship with Lu Xingyun after he stood on a high position. From beginning to end, he didn't want to use Lu Xingyun's reputation to build momentum for himself at all.

Emperor Yuan De clearly realized that Lu Xingyun was Lu Xingyun, and he was standing behind the Lu family. But Lu Weizhen is Lu Weizhen, and there is neither the Lu family nor Lu Xingyun behind him.

Lu Weizhen came up step by step by himself. With nothing behind him, he can move forward without hesitation, and he is the strongest blade in the Empire.

In the backyard of Yanyu Fangcao Hall, the bone butterfly flew back to her palm and changed back to the appearance of the bone whistle.

Duanmu Yuhua looked at the people holding torches in front of her, if she accepted them, then she would have to carry the expectations of a family.

She didn't know why Lu Xingyun chose herself, just because he loved Xie Yunrong, and she was the child of his sweetheart?

Many clansmen of the Lu family would not lie, and Lu Xingyun did choose her.

But he didn't give her a reason why he chose her, and even threw her a responsibility that didn't belong to him.

"We will be sent by the young master, if you need us in any matter after that. Just blow the bone whistle and we'll be waiting here. ”

If she wants to get the help of the Lu family, she will have to bear the rise and fall of the entire family.

The elders were in front of them, and seeing the girl's silent and hesitant appearance was not as they expected. He tried to say something several times, but he endured it.

"It's getting late today, I'm going to go back and rest first, and I'll talk about it later."

She nodded her head toward the elder who was standing at the front, looked at her earnestly, and then lowered her head. Without looking at the others with torches behind them, they turned and left as if they had run away.

"Young Master ......"

The people behind him couldn't help but shout, a little unspeakably anxious and lost. But the girl's pace did not stop there, but moved forward faster, and soon disappeared from their sight.

"It's okay, it's not time yet. When the time comes, she will naturally come back. ”

The elder looked into the distance, gently comforting the others behind him. At that time, she will definitely be able to take them with her and correct the name of the family.

Duanmu Yuhua quietly returned to the backyard of the palace, lying on the bed, she had no sleep all night. Everything is a mess, a lot of things, and I can't figure it out.

The bone whistle handed over to her by Qingye could never be the handiwork of Yuxi Lingyue. Thinking about a lot of things that have happened recently, there seems to be some connection.

Scenes flashed through her mind, and she suddenly sat up from the bed. It's Lu Weizhen! It is him, it must be him, and the key to solving all problems must be him.

Outside, the morning was twilight, and she pressed down the ups and downs in her heart. decided to wait for dawn to go to Zuiyue Tower to wait, and be sure to ask him clearly.

At this moment, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Weizhen had just sent Wei Sique away.

The current image of Lu Xiang is really not good-looking, his clothes are torn several times, and there are a few bruises on the exposed skin. Half of the white jade mask fell to the ground, and a color hung on his face.

And Wu Anjun, who has always been as cold as ice, limped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, his face gloomy and scary.

The little guys were terrified, obviously when the two of them came back together, didn't they still talk and laugh. Why did you only enter the study for half an hour, and when you came out, you became this, this way?

It's not that they haven't seen the two of them pinching each other, but it's the first time they've seen each other roll up their sleeves and fight like this, and they've made themselves so embarrassed.

After Wei Sique walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he found a secluded corner and spit out a mouthful of blood in his mouth. Unfortunately, this scene happened to be seen by the attendants of the Wei family who came by car.

Wei Sique: "......"

The attendant hurriedly stopped the carriage, jumped down from it, and leaned over and half-knelt in front of him.

"Jun, Jun, Jun, you, are you okay?"

There was silence, the man didn't speak, and the attendant wanted to cry.

After a long while, Wei Sique slowed down his stagnant breath and spoke.

"Benjun is fine, you see it tonight, don't tell anyone."

"Yes, yes, my subordinates will never, never dare."

"Let's go."

Wei Sique lifted the curtain and got into the carriage, and the attendant got up from the ground tremblingly. He touched his heart first, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

What's going on......

In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, although Lu Weizhen's smile on his face did not decrease, it even became more and more bright. But the attendants are all his confidants, so they naturally know his temperament.

Seeing their masters like this, they all consciously took a few steps back, and none of them dared to step forward.

After a long time, the young man in white raised his eyes and looked at them. He is not wearing a mask at the moment, he is a humble gentleman, and he has a good skin that is as warm as jade.

Because of the hanging of colors, the clothes are not very neat. It's like a gentleman who fights with people in the willows of Fireworks Alley, and he is quite frivolous.

"You—"

"Back to the master, my subordinates didn't see anything."

Everyone replied in unison.

"Huh."

The young man scoffed and closed the door to the room.

After reading the contents of the paperwork, he did have a fight with Wei Sique.

The paperwork that had fallen to the ground was torn in half, and he crouched down to pick it up. Fortunately, I was able to protect it, and I was almost burned by that barbarian just now.

The matter of stealing documents from the Wei Mansion was made by Lu Xingyun. After reading the contents of the paperwork, he was even more sure that Mr. had hidden a lot from them, and that it was a big game.

Before Lu Xingyun passed away, he told him in detail what he was going to do next, and told him about it.

"If you want to know the answer, find it yourself."

Since he has inherited the kindness of his husband, he should do things for him. After all, initially, it was Lu Xingyun who saved him and Xie Yuzhi.

He was still Xie Jiusi, not Lu Weizhen. At that time, the only thing he wanted to do was to take revenge and give justice to his family.

Lu Xingyun spent the last three years of his life teaching him what he wanted. But really he started teaching him, only a year.

In the first two years, Lu Xingyun has been telling him not to hate.

"Child, you are a piece of jade. But now there is a flaw on this piece of jade, and hatred has blinded you. If you want me to teach you, you must first learn not to hate. ”

"The enmity of relatives, how can you not hate."

"If love is too persistent and hatred is too strong, it will make people lose their clarity and heart. If you face the future with hatred, then everyone is an enemy in your eyes. ”

"I'm not asking you not to hate, but to control yourself and not to hate yet. If you want to do that, you have to see everyone as the same. ”

At that time, Lu Xingyun took him away from Shengjing and lived in Pingwu Temple in Chunshan. The host took them in, Lu Xingyun is old, and he worships the Buddha and copies books every day, which can be regarded as a reward.

He was young and strong, but because of the fire, the killing, he was injured and weak.

But he still had to go up the mountain every day to chop wood, chop wood, carry water, and cook...... All the same, rain or shine.

In the beginning, he climbed the mountain all morning, and had to rest by the side of the road against a tree for a while. As a result, he couldn't keep up with the strong monks, and he always fell behind.

I've worked hard, but I can't do it well.

He can't do such a small thing. His mood became even more depressed because of this, and revenge seemed to be even more elusive.

It took another afternoon to chop firewood, and by the time he returned to the temple with firewood on his back, it was already close to midnight, but fortunately Lu Xingyun kept food for him.

He took the military book written by Lu Xingyun and studied it, and Lu Xingyun asked him.

"What do you get today?"

The boy bowed his head and did not speak. In his heart, he felt that this was a waste of time.

He worked so silently for another month, and in the late autumn to winter, Lu Xingyun suffered from a cough and asked him to go down the mountain to get some medicine.

He went to the pharmacy to fill the medicine, only to see a crowd gathered in one place. He didn't want to join in the fun, but the sound of the crowd talking still came to his ears.

"The top three in this year's autumn are all people surnamed Wei and Fu."

"Top three? It's not just that, in this row of scholars from top to bottom, the Wei family and the Fu family account for more than half. ”

"Tsk, the Xie family is gone, these two are dominant."

“……”

The boy paused, then turned to leave. He was absent-minded all the way, not noticing that someone was following behind him, it was a group of local gentlemen.

"Little boy."

The leader went up first and stopped him, and looked at the boy with squinting eyes, intending to step forward and catch his hand.

"Little boy, make a friend?"

He took a step back, although there were not a few good men in Beixiang, but it was the first time he had seen pedestrians who dared to openly intercept pedestrians on the street.

Several people surrounded the boy, and one of them shook his purse.

"Play with us, it's yours."

He frowned and shook his head in refusal.

"Why, it's too little."

"I'm not playing, I'm going home."

"Get out of the way, I'm going home."

His tone was too cold, and his whole temperament was extremely gloomy, but he frightened a few gentlemen.

"Take it away, let's go to the house to play."

Several people approached him, and the boy picked up a brick against the wall. They retreated slightly, but the next second they saw him smash his forehead hard, and his face immediately bled profusely.

“……”

"You,"

The young man's eyes were cold, and he picked up the brick and smashed it in his face a few times, which was almost miserable.

“……”

Several people were stunned.

", whatever, that's a disappointment."

"Gone, gone."

When they were all gone, he lifted his sleeve and wiped his face, bowed his head and continued to walk forward.

It was about his bad luck that when people were unlucky, they always came one thing after another, and he met the bandits again at the foot of the mountain.

The thieves searched him and found no silver, and the bamboo basket was carrying some medicine bags, and there was nothing of value.

They immediately angrily punched and kicked the young man, and he was beaten and dying.

It was obviously painful, but he didn't even snort, just looked at these people coldly.

It's such a sense of powerlessness again, and nothing can be done.

Resist, how to resist? Avenge? How to get revenge? Fair, how fair? He is like this, and there is no hope for the future.

He hated it so much, he felt that it should be the limit to get here. It rained in the sky, and the thieves cursed and left.

He slowed down for a moment and got up from the ground.

He was dazed and walked up the hill with his head down. A man who was rushing down the hill was walking fast with two loads of bricks, which he should have used to build houses and the like.

The two collided head-on, and the man stumbled and all the stones fell to the ground.

"Oh, you don't have long eyes when you walk? I managed to put it on. ”

He got up from the ground and walked on. The man caught up with him in one step and grabbed him by the collar.

"Damn it, you hit me. If you don't put it back on for me, forget it, and leave without apologizing, how did your father teach you. ”

He didn't resist, and looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly.

"Apologies."

He didn't speak.

"What's the matter, you're still dumb?"

The two were in a stalemate for a while, and when the man saw that he didn't react, he was a little deflated and let go of his hand.

"This has to be reloaded into the basket, do you know how difficult it is to fill it piece by piece? What kind of evil have I done, such bad luck? ”

What did he do again, and his home was gone overnight. The man cursed as he picked up the bricks and put them in the basket. He didn't care and continued to walk up the mountain.

But his body is weak, and after being beaten so badly, his mood is up and down like this. I didn't hold it at the moment, and it was dark in front of me.

"Are you going to die?"

Before he passed out, he heard the man ask him this.

Well, he thought, he couldn't do anything anyway.
