At the end of the banquet, Lu Shen, Lu Da, Lu Xuwen, and Lu Xuwu saw off the guests at the door, and the guests were almost gone.

Lu Shen turned back to Lu Xuwen and Lu Xuwu and said, "You go to the ancestral hall with me!" ”

Lu Da on the side stepped forward and asked, "Big brother, why did you let the two of them go to the ancestral hall?" ”

Lu Shen said with a serious face: "Second brother, don't ask about this matter, this is related to the future of our Lu family." ”

Lu Da didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to nod.

Lu Xuwen and Lu Xuwu followed Lu Shen to the ancestral hall.

Lu Shen said: "Kneel down in front of your ancestors. ”

The two didn't know what their uncle's arrangement meant, but they still stepped forward and knelt down.

Lu Shen asked on the side: "Do you know, what is the status of our Lu family today?" ”

Lu Xuwen replied: "This is my uncle's more than 30 years of service to Your Majesty, loyalty, and Your Majesty's grace, so that the momentum of the Lu family is today!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Shen said: "Yes and no, there are some things that should be explained to the two of you today, what my uncle said today is the secret of our Lu family, and the children of the Lu family need to remember it for the rest of their lives." ”

Xu Wen and Xu Wu replied in succession: "My nephew will remember it for the rest of his life. ”

Lu Shen began to talk about a past that he had never told anyone.

"Although the Lu family is not from a big family, your grandfather was also a learned and talented person, but his rise was occupied by the big family; Your grandfather can only open a school in the countryside, there are still more than ten acres of fertile land at home, farming and reading heirlooms, life is also good, uncle was enlightened at the age of four, taught by your grandfather himself, when he was a teenager, he was already quite famous, your grandfather hoped that I could get the ascension through the imperial examination or filial piety, but at the age of fourteen, the Wang family side branch wanted to buy our family's ancestral land, so as to connect the two estates, your grandfather did not agree. I went to the county government to deliver the complaint, but I couldn't deliver it, I went to the state capital to deliver it, and I didn't accept it, I wanted to sue the royal court, and I was arrested by the Wang family and put in a private prison, and even beaten to the flesh and blood, they insulted me, so that I lost the right to be a man, this is the humiliation of my uncle! ”

"It's also the eternal hatred of the Lu family!"

Lu Xuwen and Lu Xuwu had never heard of this, and they were trembling when they heard it at the moment, their uncle and Wang Dun had always maintained the necessary contact, but they didn't know that this Wang Dun was the enemy of the Lu family.

Lu Shen continued.

"I have a high fever and I don't go away, they are afraid that I will die in the private prison trouble, so they threw me in the wilderness, but I was lucky to be rescued by a hunter and survived, and when I returned home, I learned that your grandfather had died unjustly, the fertile land was taken away, and the widowed mother and young brother could not continue to live, so I could only sell the ancestral house and take them all the way to Jiandu."

Su Wen, Xu Wu cried: "Uncle, you have suffered! ”

Lu Shen looked at him with a smile and continued.

"It just so happened that the palace recruited people, and my uncle entered the palace like this, and after entering the palace, he was weak, bullied, and had no money to do it, and was sent to His Majesty today, when His Majesty was still a prince who was not favored, but His Majesty treated me very well, His Majesty was very knowledgeable, I read some books since I was a child, so I was good at understanding Your Majesty's mind, and then accompanied Your Majesty to the feudal country, and then followed Your Majesty to quell the rebellion, step by step to today, only to have the glory of our Lu family today, our Lu family is beautiful on the surface, but how many people say that Uncle I am a power eunuch;

No, our Lu family is not, our Lu family is an upright family of scholars. So I send the two of you to study, that is, to inherit the spirit of our Lu family, I Lu Shen only recognize one master in my life, and you are the same, you can only recognize one master, if the master can succeed, you can succeed, if the master suffers, you can't live, this is the eternal ancestral training of our Lu family. From today onwards, there is only one of your masters, and that is the Seventh Highness, so make a blood oath. ”

After Lu Shen finished speaking, he threw down a knife and put two wine bowls on it.

Brothers Lu Xuwen and Lu Xuwu picked up a knife and cut their palms, dripped blood into the wine bowl, and then drank it in one gulp, and said loudly: "We are willing to serve His Royal Highness King Yongwang for the rest of my life, be loyal and die." ”

Lu Shen nodded with satisfaction

"Okay, get up, there is one more thing you have to remember for the rest of your life, the Wang family and our Lu family have a common hatred, my uncle has endured it for decades, and I have never had the opportunity to avenge your grandfather, if I can't repay it in the future, you, our Lu family will take revenge for generations, I want their Wang family to cut off their children and grandchildren!"

Lu Shen was so white that his face looked blood-red, and his murderous aura was compelling.

Soon, Lü Xuwen was sent to Wei by Honglu Temple and became the permanent envoy of the Great Liang to the Northern Wei Dynasty, responsible for the liaison between the two dynasties, and Lü Xuwu also secretly went to Wei with Heilongwei, and publicly identified as the chief treasurer of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and the big businessman who went to Wei to do business.

……

On the same day, Ye Luohe went out of Lu Mansion, the carriage passed by Xuanwu Street, and there was also a carriage coming over on the opposite side, but the carriage looked more luxurious, it was a four-horse carriage of a first-class official, and the lantern of Xie Mansion was carried outside the car.

Ye Luohe shouted to the coachman: "Ye Kai, stop!" Get out of the way"

Ye Kai replied: "Yes, my lord." ”

Ye Luohe's carriage stepped aside, and the carriage from Xie Fu passed through the middle of the road, and when it intersected with Ye Luohe's carriage, a voice came from inside the carriage: "Stop!" ”

The carriage of Na Xie Mansion stopped in the middle, and the curtains of the two carriages were next to each other.

A voice came from the carriage of Xie Fu: "Have you found all the people of the junior brother?" ”

Ye Luohe smiled slightly inside, and replied: "Senior brother, I thought you had always been reluctant to recognize each other, why did you recognize it today." ”

The person in the carriage was Shang Shuling Xie Xun, Xie Xun smiled: "Senior brother, don't you recognize it, so it's still me who is more generous as a senior brother, although we are not taught under the master at the same time, but after all, we are senior brothers, this is true." ”

Ye Luohe: "Senior brother, your Tianlong lineage will also care about the affairs of the Seventh Highness?" ”

Xie Xun: "Senior brother, who made the matter of His Royal Highness the Seventh and the princess go to Wei State, Senior Brother won't be able to guess, right?" ”

Ye Luohe: "Then thank you Senior Brother, the person has almost found it, and there is one that I want to pick up on the road, could it be that Senior Brother also wants to make a bet?" ”

Xie Xun smiled: "Hehe, when did the junior brother see that he had pressed the bet for his brother?" I've always been God's will. ”

Ye Luohe couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, senior brother is really slippery, what the master said is really good." ”

Xie Xun: "It's not so tiring to be a slippery head, junior brother be careful all the way!" ”

Ye Luohe: "Thank you, senior brother! ”

The two carriages staggered by, and Xuanwu Street returned to calm.

There was also a young man in Xie Xun's carriage wearing a white brocade robe, wearing a jade crown, with a delicate face, and a handsome face, the young man did not talk to Xie Xiang when he was talking, and at this moment he asked: "Father, who is the carriage opposite, I see that it is just the car of a five-rank Beijing official, and there is no lantern, does my father still have a junior brother who only serves as a five-rank official?" ”

Xie Xun smiled: "Jin'er, the person in that carriage is not a Wupin Jingguan, and his identity is extraordinary, and he is indeed the younger brother of his father, haven't you always been curious about where your father is studying?" I can tell you about it today. ”

The young man next to Xie Xun is named Xie Jin, who is only nineteen years old, Xie Xun's youngest son, a famous young talent in the capital city, and is currently the doctor of Fengjing in the Guozijian.

It was the first time Xie Jin had heard his father talk about this, and he couldn't help but cheer up.

Xie Xun slowly came: "There was a person in the pre-Qin period, named Ghost Virgin, do you know?" ”

Xie Jin nodded: "Father, that is the number one wizard in the world, and more than a dozen schools such as vertical and horizontal, yin and yang, military family, and sophistication are all based on him, and the disciples he teaches have influenced the trend of the world for the next three hundred years!" ”

Xie Xun nodded: "Jin'er, what you said is right, but it's not all right, the biggest Taoist system handed down by the ghost virgin is the royal road, that is, the academic science of the royal road of the rise and fall of the world, and it is to assist the true dragon son of heaven, pacify the world, and set the art of Kyushu, which has been passed down to the present day for more than 1,800 years." ”

Xie Jin asked, "Father, is it from the dragon technique?" ”

Xie Xun shook his head: "No, it is said that the Son of Heaven is determined by the Son of Heaven, but in fact, the development and rise and fall of every dynasty has never left the influence of the Royal Daoist Sect, and the master of the father is the head of the contemporary Royal Daoist Sect, Huang Longzi, and the person who just talked to his father is the prince and the young Fu Yongguo Xiangye Luohe, he is also the second disciple of Huang Longzi, the younger brother of the father. ”

Xie Jin was shocked: "It turned out to be him, why has my father never heard you talk about it before." ”

Xie Xun continued to explain: "Jin'er, the royal inheritance has three veins, one is the Tianlong vein, this vein only accepts the children of the big family, pursues the way of the temple, and takes the big strategy, but what is the heavenly dragon, that is, the real dragon descends from the sky, not chosen by people, go with the sky, Daxia loses its deer, the world is chaotic, more than 100 years, more than 10 countries are broken, the lives are ruined, all the tribes in the north have entered the Central Plains, a hundred years of Hu and Han integration, if another hundred years, it will not be invited, for the father is the royal heir, the duty is to end this troubled world as soon as possible, my Xie family has never been a family of courtiers, Instead, it only respects the royal way and protects the common people, which is the ancient motto of our family that has lasted for thousands of years. Therefore, our Wang family is the eight great families in the south of the Yangtze River, inherited for more than 1,200 years, experienced five generations of emperors, no matter who is the king, our Wang family is the important minister of the country, an ancient saying you should have heard: "Who sits in the world, Jiang Zuo will be the king Xie!" Do you understand what it means to be a father? ”

Xie Jin nodded: "Father, son understands, when the auxiliary is loyal, the sky will change." ”

Xie Xun nodded: "Your understanding is the highest among the sons of the father, the father is the successor of the contemporary Tianlong lineage, and your Uncle Ye belongs to the true dragon lineage, the true dragon line only accepts the children of the Han family, the true dragon line pursues to find the only true dragon son of heaven, and assists him wholeheartedly, helping him seek a great position, helping him to calm the world, and helping his country to be peaceful, this faction is the most die-hard, so the king dies and the minister is destroyed, if the father acts in this way, our Xie family will cease to exist after a hundred years, so although I am a minister in the same hall as your Uncle Ye, I deliberately do not have deep friendships." ”

Xie Jin asked, "Does my father still have a line?" ”

Xie Xun said: "There is also a vein is to find the dragon a vein, this vein is the most mysterious and detached, only in the troubled times, when the world is chaotic and can not do, someone comes out to find the hidden dragon, the hidden dragon is not used, soaring into the sky, the contemporary dragon vein heir, the name is Yu Xuanji, the road number is looking for the dragon, it is the master's closed disciple, the Tao is Xuan, a body of ability far above the father, the father has not seen him, but he will be the next successor of the royal Taoist faction. ”

Xie Xun took out a Tianlong token from his arms and handed it to Xie Jin's hand: "Jin'er, this is the Tianlong Order, it is the inheritance token of my royal road Tianlong lineage, every generation of my Xie family, there are people who worship under the royal road, inherit the Tianlong lineage, you live for a while, wait for the princess Yongwang to return to the north, and go to the Tianshan Bailu Cave Academy to wait for your little uncle to return, hand over the token to him, he will accept you as an apprentice, our Tianlong lineage can be passed on by you, I hope you don't forget your father's words today." ”

Xie Jin nodded yes and carefully tucked the token into his arms.
