Chapter 314: The End of the Road

readx;? Six days passed quickly, and the fact that Han Xiao was punished by the Nine Clans for the crime of rebellion and the whole door was already spread in Jinling City, and everyone knew about it. www.biquge.info In fact, Han Xiao's status in the hearts of the people of Jinling is still very high, and the great achievements made by the protector of the country for the holy land, for the emperor, and for the people, people will not forget.

Although these star-fighting people in Jinling City can never imagine the deceit in the court, their pity for the Han people is quite real. It's just that regret can only be regret, what can these people who don't know why do? What can they change? Now even the courtiers who follow Han Xiao in front of and behind the saddle on weekdays are all in danger, and when they mention Han Xiao, they all stay away, let alone try to save each other.

After talking with the Shengxi King Yanzheng that day, Lu Haoqian did not intend to give up, he tried to contact the courtiers, trying to give the emperor a letter of all the people and ten thousand ministers. But the result is unsatisfactory, there are still some people who are willing to sign the book of the people, but the book of Wanchen is what it is like to take it in the past, and what it is to get it back. Except for Lu Haoqian's name on it, none of the courtiers dared to sign it.

For six days, Lu Haoqian almost couldn't sleep at night, and tried everything to try to change the status quo with a sad face, but no matter how smart Rao is, now he has reached this point of exhaustion. In just a few days, Lu Haoqian seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden, and his previous black hair also showed a hint of paleness, and this was the first time he felt so powerless in more than ten years.

In the evening, in the Lu Mansion, Lu Haoqian's study was brightly lit, and the sad Lu Haoqian was sitting behind the bookcase, supporting his head with his hands, casually flipping through the books on the bookcase, sighing a few times from time to time, and Mrs. Liu Qingyuan was standing quietly beside him with a bowl of ginseng soup, silently accompanied.

"Master, you haven't slept for several days in a row, and your body will not be able to stand it if you continue to stay up like this!" Facing Lu Haoqian, who was at a loss, Liu Qingyuan said with worried eyes, "Let's drink this bowl of ginseng soup first!"

"Alas!" Lu Haoqian frowned and waved his hand, and said in a heavy tone, "Madam, where can I drink any ginseng soup now! Brother Han's family is locked up on death row and tortured, tomorrow is the beginning of spring, which means that the Han family will be all executed tomorrow......"

As a woman, Liu Qingyuan doesn't understand the court dispute, let alone intrigue, so she can't give Lu Haoqian any good way, seeing Lu Haoqian frowning all day long, Liu Qingyuan can only feel worried and sad.

"Why does His Majesty the Emperor have to kill Lord Han?" Liu Qingyuan said softly, "Lord Han has worked for His Majesty the Emperor for so many years, and he has worked hard without merit, how can His Majesty the Emperor do it......"

"Madame, don't talk nonsense!" Before Liu Qingyuan finished speaking, Lu Haoqian immediately interrupted her next words, and at the same time, Lu Haoqian also looked around cautiously left and right, listened carefully to the movements around the study, and only after finding no abnormality did he sigh lightly, "Be careful that the wall has ears!"

"I ...... I just pity my daughter-in-law who didn't pass through the door...... I have long regarded Ling'er's girl as my daughter, but now she is also being implicated, my heart is really like a knife!" Liu Qingyuan said and whimpered in a low voice, the color of grief overflowing.

"Madam, why shouldn't I?" Lu Haoqian said with a bitter face, "My Lu family and the Han family have been friends for generations, and they have been brothers since childhood. At that time, we almost stepped into the court as ministers, he was a military general, I was a civil minister, and the two of us assisted His Majesty the Emperor to protect the stability of the holy land, so many years have passed, and our brother's affection has never changed, and now Brother Han is in trouble, many people advise me not to wade into this troubled water to avoid self-error, but how can I really sit idly by? What's more, I know that Brother Han was wronged, which is even more unbearable! But speaking of Lu is also very ashamed, in the past, I was full of talent, and I could not do it in front of the landslide, no matter how big and difficult things in the court were, I can resolve them very well, why is it Brother Han's turn to be in trouble today, but I have become an elm pimple, every step is extremely difficult, in vain I Lu Haoqian has always boasted that he is lucky and smart, but in the end, it is nothing more than that!" Saying that, Lu Haoqian actually patted his head with his hand, and he looked extremely self-blaming, and he couldn't wait to beat himself up to relieve his hatred.

"Master, don't do this!" Liu Qingyuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Lu Haoqian's movements, and comforted softly, "In the past, the lord had the full support of His Majesty the Emperor behind him, and what you did was naturally smooth, and the lucky stars were shining! Now the person who wants to kill Lord Han is His Majesty the Emperor, this time without him as your backing, of course, you will work hard step by step, and it will be difficult to succeed! This has nothing to do with the wisdom of the master, it can only be said that this time it is just a catastrophe for Lord Han, it is destined, you can't hide if you want to!"

Hearing Liu Qingyuan's persuasion, Lu Haoqian couldn't help but reach out and gently hug Liu Qingyuan's waist with gratitude, and then said softly: "This matter makes Madame worry, I really shouldn't have it! But I understand what Madame meant, maybe Brother Han's fate really has such a catastrophe! It's a pity that Brother Han is too stubborn, otherwise with his ability, it would be impossible for that death row to trap him!"

"If Lord Han really escaped, then it is not the Lord Han you know!" Liu Qingyuan reached out in distress and gently stroked Lu Haoqian's temples, which had gradually turned white, and said softly, "This time, the efforts made by the master for Lord Han are obvious to the whole Jinling City, Lord Han is worthy of a friendship with you, it is worth it!"

"Madam, I still say the same thing, I will never give up until the last moment, so ......"

"Master!" Without waiting for Lu Haoqian's words to come out, Liu Qingyuan suddenly stretched out his hand to block Lu Haoqian's mouth, and then smiled gently, "Qingyuan has been decided since the day I married you, and I will support you unreservedly no matter what the master does in the future! So, if the master wants to do it, don't worry and do it boldly! Even if the rest of the Lu family doesn't understand you, I will stand behind you and live and die with you!"

"Madam, in this life, I can marry you, and I will die without regrets......"

Lu Haoqian heard Liu Qingyuan's heartfelt words, and when he was moved to tears, he gently leaned his head sideways on Liu Qingyuan's arms, and in his eyes with a trace of tears, a terrifying and resolute light flashed out inadvertently.

......

Gradually into the night, every household in Jinling City also lit up candles, and the lights were bright for a while, but it did not lose the prosperous name of Jinling City. But in a place near the imperial city in Jinling City, it was still dim at the moment, and even a few faint candles were better than nothing, but reflected this place more bleak and gloomy.

This is the death row, a place dedicated to the people who are waiting to die. And now more than 400 people in Han Xiao's family are all locked up in this death row.

Probably because there have been too many unjust souls in this death row, so the surroundings of death row are even more chilly now, and there is a sense of sadness and sadness everywhere.

At the door of death row, Lu Jun, Lu Wencai, and Fluttershy are standing there anxiously, as if waiting for something. After a while, I saw a sergeant in armor walking out of the death row, and as soon as they saw this sergeant, Lu Jun and the three hurriedly greeted him.

"Sixth son, what's going on?" Before the sergeant could stand firm, Lu Jun couldn't wait to ask. At this moment, Lu Jun and Lu Wencai are both wearing the armor of the city army, obviously they have returned to the city army camp to continue their errands, and the emperor really did not break his promise, although Lu Jun and others seriously injured the prince of the royal family some time ago, but after all, the emperor did not have the responsibility to track down anyone in the Lu family.

The sergeant named Liuzi was actually a pawn who was responsible for guarding the gate of death row, and there was nothing special about him, but he had spent two months in the city army camp, so he got acquainted with Lu Jun, and Liuzi has always admired Lu Jun's personality and regarded it as his goal.

"Brother Lu Jun, it's still not good!" The sixth son looked at Lu Jun and the three of them with an anxious face, but shook his head helplessly, "This time it is not our own people in the cell who are responsible for guarding Han Xiao, but the Golden Guard, it is said that he was sent by the Emperor to prevent Han Xiao from making any trouble! You also know that the Golden and Silver Guards, these two forces have always been not very sympathetic, and in their eyes, they only have the Emperor, where can we see these little characters! So this time I went in and before I could open my mouth, I was blasted out by them!" Saying that, the sixth son glanced at Lu Jun quite guiltily, and said curtly, "I'm sorry, Brother Lu Jun, this time you ran away in vain!"

In fact, since Han Ling'er was put on death row, Lu Jun would come here with Lu Wencai every once in a while, the purpose was to go in to see Han Ling'er, but every time he came with hope, he was blasted out in disgrace. Huang Jinwei can't understand people, no matter what Lu Jun does, he just can't see Han Ling'er.

In fact, Lu Jun didn't meet Han Ling'er for anything else, just to see Han Ling'er for the last time for Lu Yifan!

"Liuzi, you are a waste, in vain we once took you to eat and drink spicy food, you don't want to think about who stood up for you when you were bullied in the city army camp!" Lu Wencai looked angry, and said that he was going to roll up his arms and sleeves to do something to Liuzi, but fortunately, he was stopped by Lu Jun.

Fluttershy is also sad, although she and Han Ling'er only have a one-sided relationship, but the two of them talk extremely speculatively, as if they have become good sisters who hate to see each other late, and now that Han Linger is about to be executed, Fluttershy's heart is also extremely uncomfortable.

"It's useless for you to beat him, he wants to help us too!" Fluttershy hurriedly explained, pulling Lu Wencai, who was flushed.

"No!" Lu Jun said with a solemn face, "I must see Ling'er, tonight is the last night, if I can't see her again, how should I explain when Yifan comes back?" Ling'er must have a lot to say to Yifan, I can't let her go away like this!" Saying that, Lu Jun was about to rush inside, but was hurriedly stopped by the sergeants guarding the door such as Liuzi.

"Hey, Brother Lu Jun, I'll beg you if you count the sixth son, okay? Don't make any more trouble!" The sixth son begged bitterly, "If you alarm the golden guard inside again, not only will you not be able to enter, but also the sixth son and my little life will be ruined by you......!"

"Fart!" Lu Wencai gasped angrily and scolded, "Do you know who Han Ling'er is? He is the daughter-in-law of our Lu family's eldest young master Lu Yifan who has not passed the door, and now Yifan is not here, if he comes back, I know that it is you guys who stop us from seeing Ling'er for the last time, and you will not be able to eat and walk around......"

"We are also acting on orders!Brother Lu Jun, as a city army, I think you must be able to understand our difficulties!" Seeing that he couldn't speak of Lu Wencai, the sixth son could only look at Lu Jun earnestly. Compared with Lu Wencai, Lu Jun is still very reasonable.

"This ......" Lu Jun gritted his teeth anxiously, but he understood the meaning of the sixth son very well, in fact, even if the sixth son let them in at this moment, they would still be stopped by the golden guard when they got inside, and not only would they not be able to see Han Ling'er at that time, but they would also affect more people. Before Lu Jun returned to the city army camp, Lu Haoqian told him not to make any trouble at this juncture, so as not to endanger the entire Lu family.

"There are also Chu Ding and Luo Xiu's gang of bastards, they said that they went back to the Holy Soul Academy to ask Dean Qiu Ming for help, but after such a long time, they didn't even let out a fart!" Lu Wencai was so angry that he snapped his fingers and counted them one by one, "I have long seen through the lack of righteousness of these people, and they used to say that as a fellow disciple, they must be obligated to do things like that, but now it seems that it is all perfunctory, we really believe the wrong person!"

"It is said that people do not die for themselves, and some people say that even husbands and wives are just birds in the same forest, and they will still fly separately when disaster strikes!" Fluttershy frowned, tears of sadness in her eyes, "Originally, I thought that these words would only be fulfilled in us ordinary people, but I never thought that people like you, who are usually high and powerful, would be even more ruthless and indifferent than us ordinary people!" In the past, the Protector of the Kingdom had infinite scenery, and how many followers did he have, which one of them was not full of swords, mountains and fires, and swore to serve to the death, but now? Something happened to the Han family, but no one could see it......! What a ......."

"It's really a hot and cold world!" Lu Jun sighed helplessly, "Lord Han's best friend yesterday, and today we are the only one left!"

"Lord Lu kneels in front of the Imperial City Gate every day to plead for Lord Han, this matter has already moved the heavens and the earth, and it has touched countless ordinary people, but unfortunately we have the heart but the power......" Fluttershy nodded in agreement.

"The person who ordered Lord Han to be killed this time is His Majesty the Emperor, who in the Holy Realm would dare to go against His Majesty the Emperor?" Lu Jun said with a wry smile.

"There's one!Sacred Domain Sect Master!" Lu Wencai sneered and said, "It's just that I don't think this Sacred Domain Sect Master is not a good bird, he can't wait for chaos in the court!"

"Lu Jun!"

Just when Lu Jun and the three of them were in a stalemate with the six sons and other guards, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the darkness, and when Lu Jun turned around, an old figure gradually emerged from the darkness, it was Lu Haoqian's cronies, ancient.

"Ancient!" Seeing this, Lu Jun hurriedly stepped forward.

"Come back with me, the patriarch has something important to discuss!" Gu said quickly to Lu Jun, his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it.

"Big deal?" Lu Jun frowned at first, and then his eyes lit up suddenly, "Isn't it Han ......"

"Shhh

"Okay!" Lu Jun nodded desperately with excitement, and then he sorted out his emotions a little, and then hurriedly turned his head and said loudly to Lu Wencai, "Wencai, you send Fluttershy back for me now, I have to go back with Gu beforehand!"

"You ......"

Before Lu Wen could open his mouth, Lu Jun suddenly shook his figure, and then quickly disappeared into the distant night with the ancient one.

"This Lu Jun is really unreliable......" Lu Wencai looked at Fluttershy with a puzzled expression, and could only shrug his shoulders with a wry smile.

"It's okay! Lu Jun must have a reason for leaving in such a hurry! We can't get in, let's go!" Fluttershy was quite reasonable, only to see her smile slightly, then glanced at death row again, sighed softly, and finally left the place silently with Lu Wencai. And seeing them leave, the six sons couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. If Lu Jun insisted on refusing to leave just now, they really didn't know what to do!

However, after Lu Wencai and Fluttershy left, it took less than a stick of incense to make a sturdy carriage hidden by a curtain slowly in front of the death row door.

Before Liuzi and the others stepped forward to interrogate, they saw a sturdy figure jumping out of the carriage, and as soon as they got out of the car, they directly reached out to stop the Liuzi and the others, stopping them from approaching.

"You ......"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The man didn't explain much to the six sons, but shouted in a deep voice as he pulled out a token from his waist.

It's a golden token, but this small gold medal is carved with nine golden dragons entwined with each other, and it's lifelike and not cluttered at all, and you can see that it's worth a lot of money at a glance.

However, the most striking thing is not the nine dragons, but the word in the middle of the nine dragons. Yes, this gold medal is different from other tokens, and its most obvious difference is that it has only one word on it, and it is also the only word. But that one word alone is enough to symbolize its unrivaled status and power!

This word is "Emperor"!
