Chapter 328: Return to Lu Mansion
readx;? In the evening, the sky becomes more gloomy, looking at the black clouds above Jinling City, presumably a rainstorm is not far away, the so-called mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, although there is no rain in Jinling City now, but it is already a strong wind, and the hawker merchants who have been going to last until late at night on weekdays have closed early today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In the huge Jinling City, there are few people in sight on the criss-crossing streets, and even if you can occasionally see one or two pedestrians, they are passers-by hurrying towards their homes. The wind swept the land of Jinling, raising the dust on the street high, and even overturned some tents on the side of the street.
At this moment, a team of carriages and horses with the brand of the King of the Holy West slowly drove out of the gate of the imperial city, and there were twenty or thirty guards around the car, and the guards of the gate of the imperial city naturally did not dare to stop the car of the King of the Holy West, and after saluting, they quickly let go, and this team of cars and horses also disappeared into the night in the face of the strong wind.
The carriage traveled until the south of the city before slowly stopping in a secluded place, and the driver hurriedly opened the curtain, and there was only one person sitting in the carriage, that is, the 'King of the Saint West' Yan Zheng.
"This king will send you here!" Yan Zheng said lightly, at this moment, the few guards standing around the carriage dressed as people were Lu Yifan and Liu Sandao, "Now Lu Mansion is an extremely sensitive place, this king should not appear there too much, so as not to be caught!"
Lu Yifan gratefully arched his hand at Yan Zheng, and then said loudly: "Just now along the way, I have told the King of Shengxi everything that happened in the northern Xinjiang, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to meet the emperor, and I hope that the king of Shengxi can tell him the truth after meeting the emperor, and beg the emperor to find a way to solve the rebellion in the northern Xinjiang as soon as possible, the most important thing is to rescue the governor of Xichen and the soldiers of the border guard mansion first, I am afraid that after Lan Shixun kills in the northern Xinjiang, he will attack them!"
"This king understands!" Yan Zheng nodded solemnly, "You don't have to worry about this matter, go back quickly!"
"King Saint Xi's kindness, Lu will definitely remember it! If he has the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay the great kindness!" Lu Yifan nodded and said.
"Let's go!" Yan Zheng smiled and waved his hand lightly at Lu Yifan and the others, and then ordered someone to lower the curtain and turn the carriage and walk in the direction of the imperial city.
After Lu Yifan watched Yan Zheng's car leave, he took Liu Sandao and a few people to walk quickly in the direction of Lu Mansion. At this moment, he was anxious, eager to see Lu Haoqian and Liu Qingyuan.
The carriage slowly drove towards the imperial city, and Yan Zheng sat quietly in the car, staring at the string of prayer beads in his hand with deep eyes, and the contemplative color between his eyebrows was overflowing.
"Let's make trouble! The bigger the trouble this time, the more beneficial it will be to this king! Yan Chong is confused and mediocre, Yan Yi is selfish, Yan Lie and Yan Hao are just flatterers! If the Yan clan royal family allows these people to continue to mess around, it will become a big trouble sooner or later, only this king is qualified to be the emperor of the holy realm, and only this king is the real Ming Jun in the Yan clan!"
"Master, where are we going now?" asked the guard in the car in a respectful voice outside the carriage.
"How is the matter that this king has given you?" Yan Zheng asked in a flat tone.
"Back to the master, you asked me to secretly invite the people of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce to come to Jinling City for a while, and my subordinates have already done it! There is a person named Qi Shan who seems to have a lot of background, and he is the person who came to Jinling City this time!" the guard outside the car hurriedly replied.
"Oh, where is he?" As soon as he heard Qi Shan's name, Yan Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Back to the master, Qi Shan now lives in the Moon Tower!"
"Yuelou?" Yan Zheng's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise at the guard's answer, "Yuelou is a prosperous place in Jinling City, there are many people, this Qi Shan knows that this king wants to see him secretly, how dare he live in such an eye-catching place?"
"His subordinates also persuaded him to change to a secluded place, but Qi Shan said that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is, and the more secret things are, the more they must be talked about in public, if they only know how to hide it, then even a small matter will be falsely rumored to become a big thing!" The guard outside the car informed Yan Zheng of Qi Shan's words.
"Hehe......" Hearing this, Yan Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, but there was a hint of admiration in the laughter, "What a Qi Mountain, it seems that the people in the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce are really not ordinary people! Okay, this king will come to the city with him this time! Let's go, now we will go to the Moon Tower, this king will go to this Qi Mountain for a while, to see how capable he is, and whether he is qualified to help this king do great things!"
"Drive!"
After receiving Yan Zheng's order, the guards who were driving the car shouted loudly, and then raised their whips, turned their horses' heads and ran quickly in the direction of the Moon Tower!
......
Lu Yifan and his entourage hurried back to the Lu Mansion, and now the Lu Mansion has long lost its former style. The gate is closed, and even the guards who originally stood outside the door have now been withdrawn, and the gold-lettered plaque with the inscription "Wending Mansion" that was originally hung above the main gate has now disappeared without a trace, and the entire Lu Mansion looks lonely and depressed from the inside out. And when Lu Yifan stood in front of his house and saw this scene, the melancholy in his heart was simply speechless, since he was conscious, the Lu Mansion has always been a wealthy family, the door is very lively, the name of Wen Ding Gong has made countless officials in the holy area come to visit day and night, compared with today, it is simply like two places!
This feeling that this kind of thing is human and wrong made Lu Yifan's heart swell with an indescribable bitterness.
"Knock!
Lu Jun took the lead in rushing up and slammed the door of the mansion, and a moment later, with a rush of footsteps and a rapid gasp of uneven breath inside the door, the door of the mansion was slammed open from the inside. And the moment the two doors opened, Lu Wencai's slightly pale face suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yifan and the others.
"Who knocked ......" Lu Wencai poked his head out, complaining quite dissatisfied, but when he saw Lu Jun standing in front of the door, the words that had already reached his lips stopped abruptly, and then Lu Wencai's eyes turned, and he saw Lu Yifan and a few people behind Lu Jun. And after seeing Lu Yifan, Lu Wencai was a little overwhelmed and stunned for a moment, and then he rubbed his eyes desperately with his own hands, opened his eyes to the maximum, and looked at it seriously again, "Are you...... Yifan?"
"Wencai, why haven't you seen me for more than half a year, and you don't know me anymore?" Lu Yifan was also quite excited when he saw Lu Wencai, and his eyes were slightly red and funny. Don't look at Lu Wencai, who doesn't learn and has no skills, but he is an iron-hearted defender of Lu Yifan, the two of them have been playing since they were children, and the love in this is naturally needless to say.
"Yifan! It's really Yifan! Yifan is back! Yifan is back!Haha......" Lu Wencai is a very emotional person, at this moment he is crying and laughing, in front of so many people, he is not shy about dancing, he first rushed up and hugged Lu Yifan fiercely, and then jumped left and right in place for a long time, turned around and grabbed Lu Yifan's arm and shook it desperately, and then turned his head to shout loudly in the mansion, looking at Lu Wencai's appearance at the moment, he actually hated that he had a doppelganger technique, he wanted to enjoy the joy of reunion with Lu Yifan, and wanted to tell everyone in the Lu Mansion the news as soon as possible。
And it seemed that he heard Lu Wencai's shout, Lu Haoqian, Liu Qingyuan, and other relatives in the Lu Mansion also walked out one after another.
"Patriarch, look, it's Yifan! It's Yifan who is back!" Lu Wencai took Lu Yifan's hand and strode towards Lu Haoqian in the mansion, and he wanted to repeat this sentence if he couldn't meet someone along the way.
"Kihara Gongzi, this person ...... Is there a problem here?" Ah Chang, who came to Jinling City for the first time, was frightened by Lu Wencai's strange behavior, only to see her hide behind Ji Yuan timidly, stretching out her hand and gently pointing at her head. Originally, she wanted to directly say that Lu Wencai had a problem with his head, but she felt that it was not polite, so she changed it to this action.
"Haha, this person's name is Lu Wencai, there is no problem with his head, you will know after you get acquainted with him, Wencai is actually a kind-hearted good person!" Ji Yuan was also infected by Lu Wencai's joy, and explained with a chuckle.
"Dad!Mother!The child is back!" As soon as Lu Yifan saw Lu Haoqian and Liu Qingyuan, his body shook suddenly, and before Lu Wen could react, Lu Yifan had already knelt down in front of Lu Haoqian and Liu Qingyuan, and kowtowed respectfully to them with red eyes, "The child is not filial, so my father and mother are worried!"
"Fan'er, my Fan'er is back......" Liu Qingyuan's tears couldn't stop flowing down when she saw Lu Yifan, the greatness of maternal love is the most in the world, I saw her desperately break free from the servant girl next to her, and suddenly fell on Lu Yifan's body, opened her arms and hugged Lu Yifan tightly into her arms, although Lu Yifan has grown into a seven-foot man now, but in Liu Qingyuan's eyes, he is still the baby child in his arms who needs his mother's protection as when he was a child," There is no day that my mother doesn't think about Fan'er, and it's good to come back now...... It's good to come back......"
"Mother!" Lu Yifan obediently attached himself to Liu Qingyuan's arms, and let Liu Qingyuan gently stroke his back, "The child is not filial, let my mother worry about me!"
"Fan'er, you've grown up, and you're about to be a mother who can't hold you anymore!" Liu Qing's pear blossom gradually showed a loving smile on her face, and a pair of loving eyes stared at Lu Yifan tightly.
"Mother, no matter how old the child is, he will always be a child in his mother's arms!" Lu Yifan also smiled with tears, and reached out to gently wipe away the tears on Liu Qingyuan's face, his sensible appearance made the smile on Liu Qingyuan's face a little thicker.
"Yifan!" Although Lu Haoqian, who has been standing next to him, does not have old tears, the ecstasy in his heart still can't hide from the eyes of the people present, the so-called father's love is like a mountain, thick but obscure, Lu Yifan may not be able to understand it when he was a child, but now that he has grown into a big man, he understands Lu Haoqian's mind very well.
"Dad!" Lu Yifan kowtowed deeply to Lu Haoqian again.
"En!" Lu Haoqian personally stretched out his hand to help Lu Yifan up, "Seeing that you have returned safely, my father is relieved!"
"Dad, aren't you going to tell me about such a big thing at home?" Lu Yifan frowned and reproached, "If it weren't for Lu Jun running thousands of miles to the north to tell me everything here, I'm afraid I'm still in the dark by you now!"
"What can you do if you tell you something?" Lu Haoqian sighed helplessly, "What can't even be solved by being a father, do you think you can change something when you come back?"
"Dad, I ......"
"Fan'er!" Without waiting for Lu Yifan to open his mouth again, Liu Qingyuan shook his head slightly at him, "Don't make your father angry as soon as you come back, a lot of things have happened in our Lu family during this time, you must already know, your father can't eat or sleep for several days, so don't worry him anymore!"
"Dad, I'm sorry......" Under Liu Qingyuan's persuasion, Lu Yifan suddenly realized his recklessness, and hurriedly apologized to Lu Haoqian, "The child definitely doesn't mean to blame Dad!"
"Okay, dad understands!" Lu Haoqian waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Dad!Mother, I want to go to my father-in-law's spirit first and put a stick of incense!" Lu Yifan said in a condensed voice.
As soon as Lu Yifan's words came out, everyone in the Lu Mansion was shocked, especially Lu Haoqian and Liu Qingyuan, only to see that the two of them first glanced at each other in surprise, and then a trace of hesitation appeared in their eyes.
"Yifan, how do you know that there is your Uncle Han's spiritual seat in the mansion?" Lu Haoqian asked bluntly.
"It was the King of Shengxi who told me!" Lu Yifan briefly told **** Qian and others what happened after he returned from Northern Xinjiang.
"No wonder!" Lu Haoqian nodded with a look of understanding, then changed his words and said lightly, "King Shengxi has indeed helped us a lot in this matter, and he has been trying to please his father during this time, but his father always feels that this person is very scheming, and he must have some intentions, so he has always maintained an untempered relationship with him! Yifan, you should not get too close to this King of Shengxi in the future, you know?"
Although Lu Yifan didn't quite understand Lu Haoqian's words, he still nodded slightly.
"Also, from now on, as a father, you will not be allowed to say that Uncle Han is your father-in-law in front of outsiders!" Lu Hao said modestly.
"Why?"
"Han Ling'er has now been assigned to marry by the emperor, and she will marry Yan Ze Gongzi on the eighth day of the first month, and she will be a woman of the royal family in the future, if you talk nonsense again, won't it be a big rebellion?" Lu Haoqian taught, "My father knows that you are interested in Ling'er, but the emperor's order cannot be violated, so you will forget her in the future! This will be good for you and Han Ling'er......"
"Impossible!" Without waiting for Lu Haoqian's words to fall, Lu Yifan suddenly refused, and the resoluteness of his attitude made Lu Haoqian unexpected, only to see him staring at Lu Haoqian with solemn eyes, and said earnestly, "Dad, it is absolutely impossible for me to give up Ling'er! I have already made a lifelong agreement with Ling'er, and we will never change between us! I don't care who this Yan Ze is, and I don't care how great the emperor's marriage is, in short, whoever dares to rob my Ling'er will have an enmity with me Lu Yifan!"
"Yifan, how can you be an enemy of the royal family? That Yan Ze is not an ordinary person, you have to be careful about your words and deeds!" Lu Dingxuan, the second elder of the Lu family, scolded angrily.
"Hmph, what kind of bullshit Yan Ze should be careful!" Liu Sandao sneered and answered, "Lao Tzu is going to castrate this bastard when he comes back this time, if you know him, go and tell this Yan Ze, let him wash and dry, and wait for Lao Tzu to clean him!"
"You ......"
"Wencai!" Without waiting for Lu Dingxuan to open his mouth again, Lu Yifan suddenly snorted, which frightened Lu Wencai's body and couldn't help trembling, "Now take me to my father-in-law's mourning hall first!"
"This ......" Lu Wencai looked at Lu Haoqian with a gloomy face in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Liu Qingyuan hurriedly stepped forward, reached out and gently tugged Lu Haoqian's arm, signaling him not to be angry. After Lu Haoqian took a deep breath, he calmed down the anger in his heart a little, and then nodded lightly to Lu Wencai.
"Okay! Yifan, come with me!" Lu Wencai couldn't help but be happy after getting Lu Haoqian's consent, and then grabbed Lu Yifan's arm and ran towards the backyard of the mansion as if he were running away.
"Patriarch, this fan is too disobedient, if this continues, sooner or later there will be a big mess, and our Lu family will ......"
"No need to say more!" Without waiting for Lu Dingxuan to open his mouth, Lu Haoqian suddenly waved his hand, and then said with a gloomy face, "I have my own measure!
After that, Lu Haoqian no longer paid attention to the dissuasion of everyone, and turned around and walked towards the backyard with Gugu, and Liu Qingyuan hurriedly followed when he saw this. Only a group of people from the Lu family who were at a loss were left in the courtyard.
Call!
Boom! Click!
At this moment, the cold wind suddenly intensified, and at the same time, accompanied by a loud bang, a thunderbolt also instantly broke the tranquility of Jinling City, and a huge lightning bolt split the night sky between the volleys, illuminating the earth, and also illuminating the gloomy faces of everyone present!
The wind is blowing, and the rain is coming!
Ruthlessly poured into this Jinling City, which has long ceased to be quiet!
......
