"Father, Cui family...... The Cui family has done it! ”

Lu Tianhao rushed into the study in a panic and said breathlessly.

"What?!"

Lu Linfeng suddenly got up: "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Tianhao's face was pale and said: "Zheng Yichen took refuge in the Cui family, and with his own hands, seventy-six descendants, including Zheng Mubai, the head of the Zheng family, were killed, and the Zheng family is finished!" ”

"How so? How so! ”

Lu Linfeng was in a hurry, and couldn't help pacing in the courtyard.

The Zheng family, one of the four major families in Xichuan, was destroyed by the Cui family in an instant, how could he not be surprised.

"How is it possible, the Cui family is at an absolute disadvantage, how dare he join hands with the Zheng family? Could it be that they have other powers? ”

Listening to Lu Linfeng's muttering, Lu Tianhao frowned tightly and hesitated: "I heard...... I heard ......"

"Heard of what? You mean! ”

Lu Linfeng asked excitedly.

Lu Tianhao turned his heart and said, "I heard that someone saw a large army in the forest, coming from the south!" ”

"Army!"

Lu Linfeng's eyes froze, and he sat back in his chair dejectedly.

"From the south, nine times out of ten it is the army of the Southern Dynasty, heh, it seems that this is no longer a matter of Xichuan Province, Cui Huanchen is crazy, he dragged the entire Xichuan into the hegemony of the Northern and Southern Dynasties......"

Lu Linfeng laughed miserably, and at the same time said that he was lucky.

He was smarter than Zheng Mubai, and as soon as he smelled that something was wrong, he immediately took his family to hide in Lujiabao, thirty miles east of New Chang'an, where there were many people and enough food, and the walls were high and thick, even if the Cui family really wanted to do it, it would not be easy.

But if you are facing the main force of the Southern Dynasty, these arrangements will be very futile, even if you give him a city, how can you stop the iron hooves of King Wuling?

"Father!"

Seeing that Lu Linfeng was depressed, Lu Tianhao hurriedly said: "Now that it is a critical moment of life and death, please ask my father to make plans early." ”

Lu Linfeng came back to his senses: "What are you going to do?" ”

Lu Tianhao hurriedly said: "Father, if the Cui family really invited the army of the Southern Dynasty, then there will be no room for maneuver with the imperial court, not to mention that the two are competing, no matter who wins or loses in the end, Xichuan is a victim, do you really want to follow the Cui family to jump into the fire pit?" ”

Lu Linfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What else can I do when the matter has come to this?" The Cui family dared to openly act against the Zheng family, that is, to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, so that the Lu and Wang families could make a choice, if we made a slight change at this time, I am afraid that the next one to be destroyed would be the Lu family!

What's more, since the army of the Southern Dynasty is coming, your cousin, as the political envoy of Xichuan Bu, must still be in New Chang'an at the moment, if nothing else, he must have become a hostage of the Cui family now.

Our Lu family is now tied to the chariot by him Cui Huanchen, and if you don't want to, you have to rebel, this old fox, I didn't expect him to do so much! ”

Lu Tianhao shook his head: "Father, Xu Rui's Tianqiwei is in Gonghe Mansion, we still have a chance!" As long as we flee to him, we can temporarily avoid the military disaster, and when the Great Wei wins, we can return to Xichuan! ”

"You're so naïve......"

Lu Linfeng said in despair: "Not to mention whether the broken ship of Great Wei can survive this hurdle, Emperor Hongwei has long wanted to make a move on Xichuan, but there is no suitable opportunity, no matter who wins or loses in this battle, the remnants of Xichuan will lose their glory."

And Xu Rui only has a thousand people in his hands, what is enough? Once the army of the Southern Dynasties takes control of the new Chang'an, the first person to deal with is him, if we flee there, we will really kill ourselves!

Hey...... Wait......"

Saying that, Lu Linfeng suddenly remembered something, and stood up from the chair with a "poof", his eyes rolled slightly, as if he suddenly had an idea again, and he muttered for a while before speaking.

"By the way, Xu Rui's cha may still be a little useful! Aren't you still stalling with him these days? ”

Lu Tianhao was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Snakes and rats at both ends, at that time, the child felt that if it dragged on like this, it would be bad sooner or later......"

Lu Linfeng shook his head and said: "Good delay, we still have an incense relationship with him right now, how can we not use it at this time?" Lu Tianhao, listen! ”

His voice suddenly became very serious.

Lu Tianhao subconsciously stood up straight, waiting for his father's next step.

Lu Linfeng said with a straight face: "From now on, I will expel you from the Lu family as the head of the Lu family!" ”

"What?!"

Lu Tianhao opened his mouth wide and looked at Lu Linfeng in amazement.

Lu Linfeng continued: "The Lu family is in danger, and now you can only bet on both sides, you immediately set off to the palace camp and tell Xu Rui that the Lu family was coerced by the Cui family, and had no choice but to start an incident, but ask him to act as a saint on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, my Lu family is a loyal martyr, lurking in the enemy camp, just waiting for the king to go south to fight back, and defend the rivers and mountains for my Great Wei!"

Of course, I will say to the Cui family that you defected privately and expelled you from the Lu family, so that no matter who wins or loses, although it is impossible for my Lu family to recover its former glory, at least there is a piece of incense left, and that is the opportunity to make a comeback!

It's just that in this way, you will have to bear the infamy of the rebellious family from now on, which is really bitter for you. ”

"As long as it is for the Lu family, Tianhao will not hesitate to break his bones, so why is he afraid of infamy? When the child is gone, please take care of your father, and the Lu family will see the light of day again! ”

Lu Tianhao finally understood what Lu Linfeng meant, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to his father three times.

Lu Linfeng looked at his teary-eyed son, and couldn't help but feel a little sour, and helped him up.

"Hao'er, the road ahead will definitely be very difficult, you have to be more patient and more attentive under the fence, especially in the war, you have to be more careful yourself, the future of the Lu family depends on you......"

Lu Tianhao solemnly hugged his fists and said: "Father, don't worry, the child remembers, and the child will not fail in his mission!" ”

New Chang'an is adjacent to the Wei River, the Wei River is not wide, and the transportation capacity is limited, so the new Chang'an only has a small transshipment terminal, which is not the same as the distribution terminal outside the city of Gonghefu.

On this day, An Ge rushed to continue to discuss cooperation with the foreign affairs manager of the Lu family, but as soon as he got off the ship, he found that there was a commotion on the dock, as if the end had come.

"It's going to be a war, it's going to be a war, run!"

The frightened crowd fled in all directions, and the slender men and coolies threw off their work and scurried around like headless flies, and the crowd dragged their children and daughters, grabbing large bags and saluting frantically towards the boat.

They didn't care whose ship it was or where it was going, as if they could survive as long as they got on it.

An Ge was slightly stunned, and was about to ask his entourage to catch someone to ask about the situation, but he happened to see Ye Shi running this way like crazy, and hurriedly chased after him and pulled him back.

"Hey, what's the matter, aren't you here to buy grain and sell it to the east?"

An Ge asked urgently.

Ye Shi was suddenly caught and immediately furious.

He turned around angrily, and was about to kick out, but he didn't expect that it was An Ge who pulled him, and his anger immediately turned into a bitter look: "Don't say it, I just bought the grain and didn't have time to transport it away, and the people of the Southern Dynasty called, but it's a pity that I have dozens of truckloads of grain!" These dogs! ”

With that, he shook off An Ge's hand and climbed into the boat.

"What, the people from the Southern Dynasty are coming?"

An Ge was shocked, how could he let him leave, and dragged him to ask, "Is this true?" ”

Ye Shidao: "Of course it's true, I saw the banner of the Southern Dynasty army with my own eyes, and it's almost under the new Chang'an City, let go, the ship is about to start!" ”

An Ge was startled, and subconsciously let go of his hand, and Ye Shi immediately turned over like a wild horse on the loose, grabbing the edge of the boat, and grunting.

"Hey, aren't you leaving?"

Ye Shi fled to the boat and finally relieved his heart and asked An Ge loudly.

An Ge shook his head: "You are gone, what should you do with those dozens of carts of grain?" ”

Ye Shi frowned and said, "Admit the loss, isn't it just tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”

An Ge was stunned: "Where is the grain now?" ”

"Just outside the docks, with the flag of my family's business name, the guy and the long-term worker are there."

As he spoke, Ye Shiyi was stunned: "Hey, you don't want those grains, do you?" Listen to me, get on the boat, how can money matter? ”

An Ge shook his head again: "I'm not leaving, you give me the voucher for buying grain!" ”

Ye Shi hurriedly took out an envelope from his arms and threw it at An Ge.

"Hey, the food is sent to you, don't fight hard, come back alive!"

More and more people squeezed up from the edge of the boat, Ye Shi was suddenly overwhelmed by the crowd, and when he saw An Ge for the last time, he was squatting down to pick up the voucher for buying grain.

Ye Shi shook his head: "The people who follow Xu Rui are all crazy, they don't want to die if they want money!" ”

The boat opened, and it wasn't until he felt that the hull of the boat was slightly undulating with the waves, and Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
