Chapter 355: The Decline of the Family

readx;? Dawn has arrived, and at this moment, a layer of fish belly white has appeared in the east of the sky, and the non-dazzling morning glow will shroud the Jinling City behind him with extraordinary glory, but now this glorious and prosperous city has become a lingering nightmare for the people of the Lu family, and the only thing they can do now is to try their best to escape from the prosperous Jinling behind them as much as possible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is a dense forest, about thirty miles away from Jinling City. From the direction of Jinling City, a group of disheveled and blood-stained people were hurrying towards here, and they had been running tirelessly for nearly two hours, just to get here to join the other group of people who had been waiting here for a long time.

They are all members of the Lu family, and when the Lu Mansion was suddenly killed by a large number of black-clothed people, these Lu family members escaped in batches, and under the guidance of Ji Yuan and others, they met here.

"It's the patriarch, the patriarch is here!" A member of the Lu family who was hiding behind a big tree, as soon as he saw the group of people who were hurrying not far away, even his eyes lit up, and then a touch of ecstasy quickly surged into his face.

The leader of the group of people who came was Lu Haoqian, who was in disarray, and at this moment, where did he still have a little bit of the elegance of the past in his gray-headed appearance? No matter how he looked at it now, he looked like a person who had fled from exile.

When Lu Haoqian, who was frowning, walked quickly to the woods, his hurried steps stopped abruptly, only to see him first look up and down at the blood-covered clansmen in front of him, and then raised his eyes to look around, as if he wanted to find something from the depths of the surrounding woods, and his expression looked very anxious.

"Patriarch, don't look for it anymore! Only these people escaped from the Lu family......" The old tearful Lu Dingxuan was already tired and slumped on the ground, he cried in a low voice while constantly brushing his sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I think my Lu family is the Jinling Wang clan, but now there are only dozens of people left in this area to survive, it's really my Lu family......

Looking at Lu Dingxuan's heartbroken appearance, the surrounding Lu family members hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Looking at Lu Haoqian again, I saw that he didn't say a word after listening to Lu Dingxuan's words, and the whole person stood quietly in the woods as if he was petrified, looking at the front with blank eyes. At this moment, each of them had red eyes and silently kept tears, either their own blood on their bodies, or stained with the blood of other clansmen, in short, none of them looked clean, and they all looked sad and sad like a lost dog, lifeless, which made people unbearable to look at directly. And Lu Haoqian silently watched his immortal clansmen like this, no matter how Liu Qingyuan on the side appeased, he was never moved.

Lu Haoqian seems to have aged a lot overnight, the white hair that was not lush suddenly appeared most of it at this time, and the wrinkles on his face seem to have become clearer, and his slightly rickety thin figure seems to have a sense of fragility that will be fallen by the wind.

"The matter has come to this point, I still hope that Lord Lu will mourn ......" Ji Yuan comforted softly, "Brother Liu has already gone to save Yifan, and when Yifan comes here, the Lu family will definitely be able to find another way out!"

"No matter what, although the Lu family suffered this catastrophe, but fortunately, a lot of clansmen have been retained, and in time, the Lu family will definitely be able to make a comeback, and the children and grandchildren will be full!" Xie Yun nodded in agreement, saying that his blood-covered face also forced a smile of relief, "I think my Xie family was slaughtered by Lou Zong's bloodbath back then, and now there is not even a chance to make a comeback, natural disasters are inevitable, but fortunately, I can survive the catastrophe for the rest ......of my life."

"Poof!"

Before Xie Yun could finish speaking, Lu Haoqian suddenly turned around and bowed down to Ji Yuan, Xie Yun and the others, while the other Lu family members also hurriedly followed behind Lu Haoqian when they saw this, kneeling to the ground one by one, and even Lu Jun and Lu Wencai knelt behind them with sincerity. The sudden actions of the Lu family frightened Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, Yin Xi, and Liu Meng at a loss, and Ah Chang, who looked panicked, wanted to step forward to help Lu Haoqian and Liu Qingyuan up, but they firmly pushed them away.

"The Lu family can still survive these dozens of clansmen in the face of the disaster of blood and light, thanks to your sacrifice of your lives! Here, please accept three bows from my Lu family, in order to thank you for saving your lives!" Lu Haoqian said to Ji Yuan and Xie Yunyi righteously, and then took the lead in bowing to them, and the other clansmen of the Lu family also bowed respectfully with Lu Haoqian.

"I can't help it!" Seeing this, Ji Yuan and Xie Yun hurriedly panicked, since they couldn't support the people of the Lu family, then a few of them simply knelt down to everyone in the Lu family, and Ji Yuan even comforted again and again, "We can't afford this worship of the Lu family, we and Yifan are brothers who share life and death, whether it is me or Xie Yun, Yin Xi, Liu Meng, or even A Chang, who of us has not received Yifan's sacrifice of his life? Who has not received Yifan's kindness?" Now that the Lu family is in trouble, it is only natural that we have the same hatred and hatred for the enemy, so why not thank you? Lord Lu and Mrs. Lu still hope to get up quickly, if you insist on refusing to get up, then we can only kneel all the time!"

"If it weren't for you tonight, I'm afraid that my Lu family would be wiped out!" Liu Qingyuan sobbed softly with tears streaming down her face, "You are not the Lu family, but you are willing to sacrifice your life and forget death for us, this kindness will not be forgotten by our Lu family for eternity!"

"Madame's words are serious!" Xie Yun's face forced a smile, "I think that in order to help me avenge the destruction of the gate and slaughter the city, they did not hesitate to be the enemy of the entire Lou Sect, compared to that incident, what is it tonight?"

"Patriarch, don't blame me for talking too much, in the final analysis, this matter is still because of Yifan, if he didn't make an enemy of Yan Ze and Shengdong King because of a woman, how could my Lu family end up today?" Lu Dingxuan didn't forget to scold Lu Yifan in front of Lu Haoqian at this time, "My good and decent Lu family, in the end, it was all because of Yifan's fault and fell so far, we lost so many relatives overnight, who should we find this account?"

"This matter is responsible, the so-called godfather's fault, here I make amends to all the clansmen, the Lu family's suffering, the first sin lies in me, the patriarch, I am willing to apologize with death, in order to comfort my Lu family's innocent death of the soul of the dear relatives in the sky!" Lu Haoqian said without hesitation to draw his sword and kill himself, if it wasn't for the ancient eye and quick hand to stop him, I was afraid that the hateful Lu Haoqian would really spill blood on the spot.

The Lu family was already heartbroken at the moment, and when they saw Lu Haoqian's move, they cried even more sadly, and Lu Haoqian, who has always been strong, couldn't bear the inner torment anymore at this moment, and cried bitterly with everyone in the Lu family. The panic of not knowing what to do and the grief of losing a loved one are intertwined, forming the most painful entanglement in the hearts of the Lu family today. And Ji Yuan and the others stayed aside, with more than enough heart but not enough strength, so they could only silently listen to the cry of the landing family to God.

"Dad, mother!"

Just when the faint cries of the people of the Lu family echoed everywhere in the woods, I only heard a rapid shout suddenly coming from a carriage in the distance, and then before this voice fell, I saw a gust of wind lifted from the carriage, and in the blink of an eye, it swept in front of Lu Haoqian and others, and when the wind fell suddenly, Lu Yifan's sad face also quietly appeared in front of everyone, and Liu Sandao followed closely and also fell beside everyone.

"Fan'er!" As soon as she saw Lu Yifan, Liu Qingyuan immediately pounced desperately, she first looked Lu Yifan up and down carefully, and only after confirming that Lu Yifan was okay did she hold Lu Yifan in her arms, "It's great that Fan'er is okay, otherwise I really don't know how to live for my mother......"

"Mother, it's all because of the child's affairs that you will suffer this catastrophe, the child is really unfilial!" Lu Yifan had mixed feelings at the moment, and for a while, he didn't know what attitude to face the people of the Lu family.

"It's come to this point, and it doesn't matter whose fault it is, it's good for people to live! It's good for people to live...... "Where does Liu Qingyuan still have so many scruples? Now it's enough for her to only know that her son is still alive."

"Yifan, did you go well when you came out?" Ji Yuan turned his mouth and asked, "Did you have any conflicts with the people of the royal family?"

"I ......"

"How can it not go well with the help of this king?" Before Lu Yifan could answer, a joking voice suddenly came from the carriage in front of him, and then he saw that Yan Zheng, the king of the Holy West, slowly stepped off the carriage with the support of the coachman.

As soon as they saw King Shengxi, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned, and then the Lu family, who was already extremely nervous, picked up their swords again and prepared to fight to the death. They didn't understand Yan Zheng's intentions now, so in their consciousness, as long as they were from the royal family, they were their enemies.

"King Shengxi, I don't know what you are ......" Lu Haoqian waved his hand to stop everyone's recklessness, and then looked at Yan Zheng with a puzzled expression, obviously he didn't figure out why Yan Zheng appeared here.

"Dad, don't get me wrong, the child was able to escape from death row in the imperial city smoothly, thanks to the adventurous help of King Shengxi!" Lu Yifan hurriedly explained when he saw this, " Because of Yan Ze's death, the King of Shengdong hated our Lu family to the core, so he took the initiative to send people to attack the Lu Mansion at night, and after getting the news, the King of Shengxi rushed to the imperial city to report the matter to the emperor, hoping that the emperor could come forward to prevent this catastrophe, but he met Brother Liu who came to rescue me outside the imperial city, and after Brother Liu explained the situation of the Lu family to the King of Shengxi, King Shengxi expected that it would be too late for the emperor to come forward, so he temporarily changed to the imperial city death row and rescued me, so that I could avoid death tomorrow!"

"In this way, the King of the Holy West is the great benefactor of my Lu family!" Liu Qingyuan looked suddenly enlightened, and then hurriedly bowed to Yan Zheng and said, "Thank you King Shengxi for rescuing Fan'er!"

"This king is not only helping your Lu family, but also helping my royal family save the last bit of face!" Yan Zheng said with a wry smile, "The successive events in the Shengdong Royal Mansion have caused my royal family to lose face, and His Majesty the Imperial Leader is very angry about this. His Majesty wanted to find out everything so that he could give an explanation to the world, but he didn't want King Shengdong to be so anxious that he disregarded His Majesty's advice and sent someone to wash the Lu family without authorization...... Alas......" Yan Zheng's words did not continue, but through his bitter expression, it was not difficult to see that he still seemed to have a trace of sympathy for Yan Zheng in his heart.

"King Shengxi has repeatedly taken risks to help my Lu family survive the crisis, how can I, Lu Haoqian, repay this kindness!" Lu Haoqian arched his hand with guilt and said, "King Shengxi has a great kindness to my Lu family, and I, Lu Haoqian, will repay King Shengxi as a cow and a horse in the next life!"

"Lord Lu don't have to be polite, this king helped you because there was nothing wrong with what you did! Do you still remember when Your Majesty ruled that Han Xiao punished the death penalty of the Nine Clans, you knelt in front of the gate of the imperial city every day and begged bitterly? At that time, although this king knew that you were right, he still advised you to stop and not to annoy Your Majesty, but in the end you still chose to rob the Dharma field, although the matter was revealed, but this king sincerely admired you, Lord Lu is a true hero with affection and righteousness! Including the matter about Yan Ze marrying Han Ling'er later, from the very beginning, this king knew that this was a mistake, and he had repeatedly persuaded King Shengdong, but it was a pity that my brother has always been very arrogant, where is he willing to listen to my advice? In the end, it made a big mistake, resulting in today's situation, and the fault lies with King Shengdong, not you Lu Haoqian, so this king is also just helping not helping relatives! What's more, if it is really caused by King Shengdong all the time, I am afraid that the majesty of my royal family will really be completely lost by him!"

"What the King of the Saint West said is yes!" Lu Haoqian sighed with a wry smile, "It's just that I pity my people who died in vain......"

"Now that the affairs of the Lu family are so big, I believe that within a few days, the city will be full of storms again, although King Shengdong is wrong, but his identity is the emperor's brother after all, I think His Majesty will not be too embarrassed by him, and when the time comes, it is inevitable that all the blame will be put on the head of the Lu family, in order to stop the tongue. What's more, Lu Yifan escaped from death row tonight, and His Majesty the Emperor will definitely take advantage of the topic, if you want to return to Jinling City and ask His Majesty the Emperor to administer justice, this road must be impassable!"

"How could Lu have been in the dynasty for many years and not know the doorway here? King Shengxi, please rest assured, my Lu family will not return to Jinling City again, let alone implicate this matter on King Shengxi!" Lu Haoqian swore and promised.

"That'...... I wonder what Master Lu's plans are in the future?" Yan Zheng nodded thoughtfully, and then asked with a suspicious expression.

"We want to go all the way to the southwest and find a place to stay!" Without waiting for Lu Haoqian to speak, Lu Yifan opened his mouth first and replied, "Compared to other places, I have been to the southwest anyway, so I am relatively familiar with it!"

"Oh!" Yan Zheng first agreed, then he raised his eyebrows, looked at **** Qian meaningfully, and said with a smile, "Lord Lu can take his family to Xijun, Xijun is the king's place to ensure that you are safe, and after you arrive in Xijun, this king can send someone to arrange everything for you!"

"King Shengxi has a good intention, Lu Mou understands it, but after all, we are all guilty now, if we go to Xijun, I am afraid that it will bring a lot of trouble to King Shengxi, Lu really can't bear to bother King Shengxi anymore, I just want to find a secluded and secluded place, and spend my life in peace with my family!" Lu Haoqian politely excused.

"Since Lord Lu already has a plan, then this king will not force it!, but I hope Lord Lu will never forget that this king is your friend, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can go to Xijun to find me at any time, and the door of my Holy West Palace's palace will always be open for you Lu Haoqian!" Yan Zheng laughed loudly as he spoke.

"Thank you King Shengxi, Lu will definitely remember!" Lu Haoqian hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"That's it! I have prepared some coils in the carriage for you to take with you, although there are not many, but they should be able to hold until you find a place to stay!" Yan Zheng waved his hand, and then grabbed Lu Haoqian's arm, showing an extremely reluctant expression, "The day is about to dawn, and this king will not accompany you much if he wants to rush back to the imperial city, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will be furious because of last night's incident! You should be careful all the way here, if you live a stable life after settling down, then you don't need to write to this king, so as not to expose your own location." If you are not stable, then go directly to Xijun to find this king, don't have any mustard, this king will never be troublesome to you Lu Haoqian!haha......"

Lu Haoqian carefully took a large package handed over by Yan Ze and coiled it, and his old eyes were already moved to tears. He bowed down to Yan Zheng silently, full of gratitude, and Yan Zheng glanced at the Lu family again, then turned around and boarded the carriage, and under the greeting of the coachman, the carriage greeted the morning light and drove quickly in the direction of Jinling City.

"Yifan, let's get ready to go!"

"Wait a minute!" Lu Haoqian, who didn't wait for Lu Haoqian, who got up slowly, to fall into his voice, but Lu Yifan frowned slightly, and then said with a solemn face, "Father, mother, you go first, the child still has some things to do!"

"Do you think Dad doesn't know your mind?" Lu Haoqian said with a bitter face, "You want to go back to Jinling City to find Ling'er's girl, don't you?"

"That's good!" Lu Yifan agreed bluntly, "Brother Liu has already told me along the way that after I was taken away by Jinwei, Ling'er was quietly sent to Fluttershy's house by Lu Jun, and now that we are leaving Jinling City with our family, how can I leave my wife?"

"I'll go with you!" As soon as he heard Lu Yifan's words, Lu Jun couldn't wait to open his mouth and say, "I know where Fluttershy's house is...... Although Lu Jun's words were high-sounding, in fact, what he was going for, everyone present knew very well in their hearts. Nothing more than wanting to meet his sweetheart, Fluttershy.

"That's it!" Lu Haoqian looked weak, only to see him wave his hand weakly, and then whispered to Lu Yifan, "Daddy, you have grown up now, and you will be in charge of the affairs of the Lu family in the future!"

As soon as Lu Haoqian's words came out, everyone in the Lu family was surprised, and Lu Haoqian's words undoubtedly meant that Lu Yifan was promoted to the position of the new head of the Lu family. But today's Lu family is different from the past, and naturally no one is fighting for anything about this mess, so when Lu Haoqian nominated Lu Yifan, no one in the Lu family said anything more, after all, they are still alive now, and it is thanks to Lu Yifan's brothers who sacrificed their lives to save them. Except for the second elder Lu Dingxuan, who was slightly unconvinced, everyone else quite agreed with Lu Haoqian's meaning.

"That's good!" The matter was urgent, so Lu Yifan no longer hesitated, only to see him nod his head happily in agreement, and then turned to Ji Yuan and the others and said, "Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, Yin Xi, Liu Meng, my Lu family's relatives will be handed over to you! I will take Brother Liu and Lu Jun back to Jinling City secretly, and I will chase you after Ling'er is rescued!"

"No problem!" Ji Yuan agreed without hesitation, but after a while, his eyes moved, and he asked suspiciously, "It's just where do you want us to go?"

Hearing Ji Yuan's question, everyone, including Lu Haoqian, couldn't help but set their eyes on Lu Yifan, and their eyes were filled with a thick look of doubt, everyone wanted to know what the first decision to make when Lu Yifan began to take on this defeated family?

In the face of everyone's expectant eyes, Lu Yifan and Liu Sandao looked at each other inadvertently and smiled.

"Western Imperial City!"
