054 Father and son meet
Lu Jinghong didn't think too much about the scene where he met this cheap father. Everything goes with the flow. However, when the time came, many thoughts still welled up in my heart.
As the head of a country, Jiu Zhu also said that when his father ascended the throne, he used drastic methods and cut through the chaos with a quick knife, but why did he later show that he was restrained everywhere, and did he have the meaning of showing weakness to the enemy? For his son, did he really care for him, or did he feel that it was a trouble? Everything is still unknown.
Although he was thinking about these things in his heart, Lu Jinghong was not bothered by this. Instead of guessing, it's better to judge for yourself when you actually meet.
After a while, Ye Fan appeared at the door and saw Lu Jinghong standing in the courtyard, slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Lu Jinghong to have a prediction and wait here. Then he bowed and saluted, and said slightly: "Son, the lord has invited you over." ”
After thinking about it, Lu Jinghong already understood that if his father arrived, it must be extremely secretive, and there were still wine pigs and Li Bai in his yard, which was very inconvenient. Bowing slightly, he was about to speak, and found that there seemed to be someone behind him, and when he turned to look, the wine pig and Li Bai had appeared in the courtyard at some point, looking at him silently. Li Bai didn't speak, but the meaning in his eyes was very clear, and he was more careful. The wine pig just bowed his head silently and didn't say anything.
Lu Jinghong's heart rose warmly, these two uncles cared about themselves completely, and they were full of vigilance against their brothers and even their fathers, although Lu Jinghong felt that they were a little too nervous, but they were extremely touched by their sincerity. couldn't help but bow slightly and said, "Two seniors, I'll come when I go." The implication is that they don't have to worry too much.
Ye Fan saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't say much, just made a respectful waiting. The two of them didn't say a word, and after a few turns in the densely packed manor, they had reached the door of another courtyard. After Ye Fan stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, he silently retreated, hiding himself in the darkness.
And the door of the courtyard has been quietly opened. A crack in the door is exposed. Lu Jinghong took a deep breath, what should come will always come, and what should be faced still has to be faced. Step forward and gently push the door open.
The courtyard was empty. But there was a tall figure, standing quietly in the courtyard, looking at Lu Jinghong. Lu Jinghong also stopped, the two looked at each other silently for a long time, a sense of familiarity from the blood emerged all over the body, Lu Jinghong looked at the strange but familiar face, knowing that the man in front of him must be his father in this life, there was an urge to hug each other in his heart, but he was blocked by an inexplicable emotion.
After a long time, the figure that stood like a mountain finally moved, and whispered softly as if it had come back to its senses: "Like, really like." Then he stepped forward, hugged Lu Jinghong into his arms, and murmured: "Your eyes are exactly the same as your mother's." You should be Hong'er!"
Murong Xiong, that is, Lu Jinghong's father in this life, is the current lord of the Wu Khanate. At this moment, I closed my eyes, and tears seemed to flash in the corners of my eyes. No one knows what he is thinking in his heart at this moment, maybe he is thinking that in eighteen years, he is actually seeing his ill-fated child for the first time, maybe he is thinking that for this child, he has lost his most beloved woman, or maybe he is thinking that the prophecy of the national teacher, this child of the White Tiger Star has finally regained his senses, but he can't predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse.
But when he opened his eyes, his expression had become much calmer, and looking at Lu Jinghong, who was a little at a loss, his eyes showed love. "Over the years, you have suffered ......"
Lu Jinghong was full of dislocation at this time. Although because of his female character, he is not inferior to a man's decisiveness and simplicity, and Lu Jinghong has not shown flaws in dealing with people and things, but no matter what, it is a woman's soul that always lives in this body. Even if Lu Jinghong knew that he was sturdy, even with a beard and beard, and his male characteristics were extremely obvious, Lu Jinghong still regarded himself as a woman in his heart, and he was careful not to have close physical contact with people. Caught off guard by Murong Xiong's arms, Lu Jinghong almost couldn't help but push Murong Xiong away, but finally forcibly held back. But Murong Xiong obviously also sensed the stiffness of Lu Jinghong's body.
Murong Xiong let go of his hand, his expression a little lonely. "I know that you have suffered a lot all these years when you are out alone......"
Lu Jinghong wanted to explain, but found that there was no way to explain it. Say it's not that I'm resisting you, it's because I'm actually a woman...... With his unshaven appearance and deep voice, say I'm not your son, you should call me a daughter?...... Thinking about it, I held back all my words, and only sighed sadly.
This sigh fell into Murong Xiong's ears, but it became another understanding. Murong Xiong said bitterly: "It's me who is sorry for you, sorry for your mother...... I think I am an eight-foot man, but I can't protect my wife and son, and I will be the king of a country in vain......" He said, grabbed Lu Jinghong's shoulders, and said solemnly: "I will make up for you! I will make up for all your losses, and I will make up for you one by one......
Lu Jinghong was grabbed by the shoulder again, almost reflexively turned around, blocked, and called the opposite side with a backhand...... However, he just shook his whole body and lowered his head.
"You have nothing to make up for me...... Father, father. Lu Jinghong finally spoke with difficulty and called out the father.
"Are you blaming me?"
"No, father, you think too much. Now Lu Jinghong has calmed down and began to find the chaotic rhythm.
"I never wanted to gain anything, so I didn't feel like I had anything to lose. Over the years, I have been in a state of confusion, and I can't talk about suffering, and only a sober person can experience this feeling. ”
Murong Xiong was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Lu Jinghong to say this, and then showed a little relief. "Even this, you are like your mother, your mother is also this kind of character, she doesn't care about anything, she doesn't want anything, all the power, wealth and nobility don't seem to be attractive to her. At that time, I could only be by her side, so that I could completely relax myself and be a real person, because I knew that it made no difference to her whether I was an emperor or a commoner......"
Murong Xiong muttered, as if he was caught in the memories of the past, and infinite tenderness appeared in his eyes. That kind of gentleness made Lu Jinghong sigh secretly in his heart, he is also a person he really loves, seeing this kind of look, Lu Jinghong understands a little, Murong Xiong, who really loved his body at the beginning, the strange woman who ignores power and is good at prediction, Dugu Rou.
"But why did she send you out of the palace without telling me, did she think that I would believe the words of the national teacher, and if you were a son, it would be bad for you? Why didn't she discuss it with me? After all these years, she still couldn't trust me? This is the reason why I was angry back then...... But why did she never forgive me and refuse to leave the cold palace, is she always angry with me?"
Listening to Murong Xiong's muttered whisper, Lu Jinghong sighed in his heart, if the owner of his body still has a trace of soul, presumably at this time, he will also forgive this father who has never met, right?
"Father, mother, she's not angry with you...... She just ......" Lu Jinghong sighed, not knowing how to explain it.
As a woman, she will naturally understand that a woman, in the face of her children and her husband, will definitely have the upper hand of maternal instinct, even if at that time, no matter how well Murong Xiong behaves, as long as he does not tell his mother as soon as he listens to the words of the national teacher, then a mother who is in labor will definitely take all kinds of measures to ensure the safety of her child. What's more, Murong Xiong's hesitation in the study alone at that time already showed that he had wavered, even if he finally chose not to believe in the national teacher, his mother would never take such a risk easily, and Dugu Rou was such a very assertive and capable person.
But Dugurou refused to come out of the cold palace after that, perhaps because she was a little disappointed in her father. But this kind of thing, Lu Jinghong didn't want to say it. So I changed the subject. "Father, I want to know about the fortunes of the country. ”
