Chapter 205: Three Stories of the Past
"At that time, after we fled Chang'an. It was intercepted in the western suburbs. β
"What's going on? Be clear! β
Lu Zhongzhi's face was stern, when he learned that his beloved daughter was bullied by Fang Qiao and left Beijing with his son, he was first angry, and then rushed all the way from Jiangnan to Guannei, calmed down, and thought clearly, if there was no Fang Qiao's acquiescence, how could the Lu family and his two sons come out of Fangfu, but he went to ask Fang Qiao, but the person refused to tell him the details.
Originally, he hid the Lu family mother and son as Fang Qiao, but later with the ascendion to the throne of the saint, he was sure that Fang Qiao did not know the whereabouts of the Lu family mother and son!
It is said that Fang Qiao was a person, and he let the Lu family go, how could he not send someone to follow, and later he always suspected that something went wrong at that time, and the people sent by Fang Qiao must have lost the Lu family for some reason. At this time, I heard Lu Zhi talk about being intercepted that day. I remembered such a stubble again.
Lu Zhidao: "I was young at the time, I don't remember very clearly, and then when I was two years older, I pestered my mother to talk to me, and at that time, my mother was sad and angry, so she secretly released me from the ancestral hall and took us to escape from the houseββ"
He paused in a tone, turned his head to look at Lu Zhongzhi, and said with a smile:
"This matter is ridiculously tight, Xiaoyu and Lu Jun don't know, my mother took us away from home at that time, at first where was the intention of going away and flying high, but when Fang Qiao was angry, she wanted to take us to avoid it, and wait until the limelight passed, and then go home, and she still has a trace of thought, in you, looking forward to the day when the seat is set, you will come back."
Lu's temperament is impulsive, as early as Fang Qiao took the second concubine back to the house, he felt cold, but because the children endured it, even if Fang Qiao was cold, she would take care of the children's future, how could the sister-in-law of the dignified clan be angry because of her. Wandering in a foreign land.
"Huh?" Lu Zhongzhi thought that he knew his daughter who was sometimes lacking in tendons, and after finding out that she left home due to negative anger, he never thought that she would have the idea of avoiding it for a while.
Lu Zhi recalled, while saying: "We went out of Yanxing Gate before dawn, a few miles later, in the suburbs met a group of masked people, they just hijacked the carriage, then from both sides of the road burst out of a dozen cloth knife men shouted 'protect the people in the car', the two sides fought, we did not dare to go down in the car, just a masked man was stabbed to death outside the car door, the head opened the curtain, the face towel fell, the mother happened to recognize, this is Fang Qiao's captive martial arts. β
He snorted, his eyes glistening with a little pleasure:
"You also know the mother's temperament, not good at speculation, but like to think about it, this thing is also a coincidence, if it weren't for the group of masked people who appeared first and hijacked. Later, the gray-clothed knife man shouted 'protect the people in the car', and at that time she thought that those masked people had hijacked our way, it was really Fang Qiao who planned to kill her because of you, and she was originally disheartened, and she was stunned because of our brother to endure it, and when this kind of thing happenedββ"
Lu Zhongzhi couldn't help but interject, "What are the gray men you are talking about?" β
As soon as Lu Zhi told him, Old Man Lu guessed that those masked people in the house were going to kill people, and they obviously wanted to take the Lu family to other places, but the man in gray made him puzzled, where did such a person run out?
Lu Zhi was interrupted by him, so he changed his words and said: "You listen to me first-those gray-clothed swordsmen and masked men are evenly matched, and when the two sides are inseparable, my mother was indignant for a while, so she kicked the dead body down, told us to hold on to the carriage and sit down, and then drove the carriage all the way away, and those masked men were to chase after them, but they were stopped by the gray-clothed men one by one, and finally we left the group of people behind......"

Thirteen years ago
Lu Shi was pregnant, and drove the carriage with her two children all the way, and ran for a morning before stopping, abandoning the carriage and wanting to change the waterway. But suddenly the abdominal pain was unbearable, and before he got on the boat, he fainted on the shore, Lu Jun was already scared and cried, Lu Zhi had to be sensible and knew to ask for help.
Although the family of three changed into the most ordinary clothes and fled, in the eyes of people outside Beijing, they were also wealthy, so one person had a crooked heart and wanted to cheat them out of money.
"It's clear and daytime, and I can also bump into such a small night, just to make you angry."
Just as Lu Zhi and Lu Jun were fighting for their bags, a man with a beard came out of the woods on the shore, with a sword pinned to his waist and a pink swaddling cloth in his arms, talking and walking towards them.
The little man was probably cowardly, so he loosened his bags on the spot and ran away without looking back.
This man saw that Lu Jun's face was full of tears, and Lu Zhi looked vigilant. glanced at Lu Shi, who fainted on the ground behind them, and grinned:
"But need help?"
After speaking, he stuffed the swaddling clothes in his arms to Lu Zhi, who was less than his waist height, "Hold it tight, if you break me, I don't care about the one in your mother's belly." β
Lu Zhi tightened his arms in a panic, glanced at the sleeping baby in his arms, the man had already picked up the big-bellied Lu family, and said to the two brothers:
"Grab your things and come with me."
It was when there was no way out, and the two children were still young, so where did they think so much. Lu Zhi held the baby, Lu Jun was stronger, carried two bags, and followed the bearded man out of the shore.
The man led them to a small village nearby, found a farmer and gave them some money, placed the Lu family in place, and asked the peasant woman to invite the older woman in the village to check on the Lu family.
Xu is Lu's foundation is good, the child did not have an accident, slept for one night, woke up the next day and was fine, saw the man, thanked him, in the other party's inquiry, he half-truthfully said his experience, the Tao is that after the death of the husband, because of the dispute over family property, he took his son and was chased and killed here.
The man looked like a shrewd man, and believed it or not, he just asked, "Where are you hiding?" β
"Shuzhong." When Lu's royal car was running wildly, he thought about where he would go in the future.
The man laughed and said very kindly: "Then let's stop by the way, why don't I give you a ride, this ability to escape, but few people can match me." β
After the Lu family was stopped and robbed by the masked man, she was afraid that she would be caught again, and the children would be in danger, and this man saved her once, and he brought a baby, not like a bad person, she didn't hesitate to respond.
"Madame, let's have a companion."
After the two agreed, they took money from the villagers in exchange for some dry food that morning, bought an old cow, put it on the cart, and went to Shuzhong.
Under the guidance of the man. Along the way, they changed carriages three times, walked through the waterway twice, and finally entered Shudi, just arrived in a city and county, lived in the inn for one night, and the next day, the man said goodbye without saying goodbye.
In the end, the Lu family only knew that the person's surname was Yang.

After Lu Zhijiang left Beijing, after a few days of twists and turns, he reached out and swallowed most of the herbal tea on the table, looked sideways at Lu Zhongzhi who was contemplative, and said:
"I have always had such a vague period in my childhood memory, and then when I was older, I heard my mother talk about it, and it was compatible, and my grandfather asked me where those gray men came from, which happened to be what I didn't understand, I thought about these things repeatedly, I thought they were my grandfather's old department, but now I know that they are not."
Lu Zhongzhi's fingers lightly tapped on the armrest, "I moved the foundation to the south at that time, and there were only a few eyeliners left in Beijing, you said that those cloth swordsmen are good at martial arts?" β
"Well, those people obviously knew Fang Qiao's intentions, and if they had malicious intentions towards us, they should have killed us at that time, but they stopped Fang Qiao's people and gave us a chance to escape."
Lu Zhongzhi asked, "Do those swordsmen have other characteristics, such as moves and words?" β
"You haven't taught your mother martial arts, where does she know what moves, she sees things as black is black, white is white, even when she told the things at the time, I also pieced together for a few days before I got it straight."
For example, when those masked people suddenly appeared, she said at the beginning that it was someone sent by Fang Qiao, and Lu Zhi asked her how she knew, and she went on to tell that it was from the person who fell by the car door.
The gray-clothed swordsmen are unknown and nowhere to be found, Lu Zhongzhi is disappointed, and Lu Zhi changes the topic:
"Fang Qiao's wishful thinking, after we left Chang'an, the western suburbs hijacked the carriage and placed us elsewhere, saying to King An that we escaped, and claimed to be recuperating externally, and wanted to wait for King An to lose, and then let our mother and son show up, so that we would not offend you, who knew that by mistake, first the gray-clothed swordsman, and then let us meet the man surnamed Yang, lost us, he had to succeed to the throne after the emperor, saying that we were taken captive by King An."
It can be said that the reason why Lu's mother and son disappeared and no one found them later was entirely due to the man surnamed Yang.
Lu Zhongzhi listened to his analysis, nodded in agreement, and then asked with some concern: "Then your mother now knows that she mistakenly thought that the boy surnamed Fang was going to send someone to harm her?" β
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows, "I naturally know, after recognizing my grandfather, she learned that Fang Qiao was secretly Touan Wang, as soon as I straightened out this Central Plains Commission, I told her about it, you are the second to know, Xiaoyu and Lu Jun, I will talk to them later." β
After finding their family of four, Lu Zhongzhi would find the Lu family first and break through from her, which Lu Zhi did not expect, Lu Zhi had always been worried that the Lu family still had feelings for Fang Qiao, so although he had already guessed that Fang Qiao intended to release them back then, he never made it clear to the Lu family, but after the old man Lu exposed the matter, her reaction made Lu Zhi very relieved, and he told her everything in one go.
When Old Man Lu heard that he was the second to hear it, his heart was a little comfortable, and the worry between his eyebrows disappeared a little, "Then your mother, what does she think?" β
Lu's union with Fang Qiao back then, although it was the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, it was also her own fancy, and Old Man Lu was afraid that she still had a friendship for that kid.
Lu Zhi's eyes suddenly warmed, and he said softly: "Mother said, what has passed, never think about looking back." β
