In the southern corner of the city, in the compound of the Lu Mansion, Lu Jing ran all the way, and finally returned here again, back to his home......

Tang Zhan followed Lu Jing together, while Xiao Tian and Su Jia left first, and as for Lu Zhao and Lu Meng, they also returned home first. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoYesterday's battle in the city, a scene of exquisite bloodshed, because of the war through the door of the house, standing here today, is really back home.

Looking at the weathered door plaque of the Lufu compound, compared with the prosperity and glory of two years ago, it seems that it is all desolate and vicissitudes now. Although he did not encounter the tragedy of Nangong Murong's family, the courtyard was sparse, things were wrong, the cold wind was bleak, and there was no return to the past. The only thing to be thankful for is that the ruthless war is over, and the family will not die, except for Linglong, who was martyred, the rest of the family is safe and sound......

"Let's go in, Jing'er......" Seeing Lu Jing standing in a daze at the gate of the compound, with a dazed expression, Tang Zhan was deeply touched by the side and reminded softly.

"Hmm......" Lu Jing simply agreed, and then walked into the compound with Tang Zhan......

Everything in the house has not changed, except for the barbaric traces of the Mengyuan soldiers "breaking into the door" yesterday, the flowers and plants in the courtyard, brick and soil, in Lu Jing's eyes, are so familiar. The only difference is that the atmosphere at home is different from the past -- two years ago, she was still the daughter of everyone in the Lu Mansion, eccentric, naughty and willful, and devoted herself to the whole person, and the officials and people of Bianliang all knew about it, but the atmosphere was witty and harmonious; but now he has returned as a "hero", and he is more mature and stable than before, and has experienced the heat and coldness of the world and the flames of war, and he knows how to cherish a lot, but he has also lost a lot, and the courtyard after the war has left a desolate and bony feeling......

The two went straight to the direction of the main hall, and Lu Jing looked at it squarely. There, his father and mother, as well as Lu Zhao and Lu Meng, have been waiting for a long time......

"Miss, are you back...... "At the door of the main hall, Green Cloud was waiting here early, it should have been the joy of returning home and reuniting, but in Green Cloud's eyes, there was a little more sadness - perhaps because of Linglong's death, Green Cloud has not been able to cheer up from the grief of the deceased until now.

"Hmm......" Lu Jing still responded simply, looking at the door of the main hall, she was about to go in and face her parents and relatives who had not been in for two years, and her heart was complicated.

Tang Zhan seemed to see Lu Jing's thoughts, stood at the door and said silently: "Jing'er, your father and mother are waiting in the house, they must want to see you, there are many things I want to say to you, I won't go in......"

Lu Jing didn't make a sound, just nodded slightly, pushed the door and walked into the main hall alone, leaving Tang Zhan and Lu Yun to guard the door.

Looking at this scene, Tang Zhan couldn't help but think of the first time he came to the Lu Mansion two years ago, and it was Lu Jing who brought him to the main hall to meet her parents. At that time, he was also guarding the door with the maid, but that time, the person who accompanied him was Linglong...... Compared with the innocence and joy of two years ago, now that she returns home, the atmosphere is full of remembrance and sorrow, and Lu Jing's figure is also a lot more mature, a little less rude and willful when she was young, and a little more calm and filial piety......

"Squeak-" pushed open the main door, and Lu Jing finally saw his father Lu Zhanhong, and his mother Ruan Cuiying, who was already lovesick......

Lu Zhao and Lu Meng were the first to return home, the elder brother was on crutches, and the younger brother was beside him, telling Lu Jing to return home today, Lu Zhanhong and Ruan Cuiying were also emotional - two years ago, it should have been just the Lu brothers who went north and promised their father to stay at home as a daughter, but Lu Jing chose to leave home willfully, leaving only a shallow letter, and then there was no news for two years; if it wasn't for being held hostage by Wang Dasheng yesterday, Lu Zhanhong still doesn't know the life and death of his daughter; although he became a general of the first army, The heroine made herself unexpected, but this time's 'two years of willfulness' seemed to be a bit excessive, Lu Zhanhong's eyes were mixed with seriousness and regret......

"Jing'er ......" Ruan Cuiying was already a little impatient, seeing her daughter who she hadn't seen for two years again, the injuries on her body subsided for a while, and she stretched out her hand excitedly.

In comparison, Lu Zhanhong, as a father, has much more serious eyes. Two years ago, he was worried that something would happen to his daughter, he was overly sad, and he dyed his white hair, but now he is wearing armor and a military uniform and returning to him, Lu Zhanhong's expression is complicated and indescribable......

"Father, mother, my daughter is back......" Lu Jing finally spoke—it was still a familiar voice, but a little less innocent and a little more vicissitudes......

"Kneel down ......" Lu Zhanhong's expression was complicated, and without saying a word, he directly ordered him to kneel, as if he wanted to train him in family law.

Lu Jing did not hesitate, looked directly at her eyes, and knelt down in front of her parents.

"Sister Jing......" "Sister ......" The Lu brothers couldn't help but whisper when they saw it in their eyes.

Ruan Cuiying watched her daughter finally return safely, but Lu Zhanhong, as a father, ordered her to kneel down and reflect, and couldn't help but feel pity, and tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes.

However, for herself, Lu Jing did not have any objections, it seemed that she had reunited with her parents who had not seen her for two years, and in the face of the long-lost strict father's training, Lu Jing was very happy to accept it.

Lu Zhanhong slowly walked to Lu Jing's side, his eyes were uncertain, and his tone was mixed: "What did you promise me two years ago?"

Lu Jing still seems to have a clear memory, looks straight ahead, and "admits his mistake" and said bluntly: "My brother and brother go north, and my daughter stays at home alone, as long as she returns safely after victory, she can marry her daughter to the descendants of the Tang family......"

"Then what did you do wrong?" Lu Zhanhong continued to ask.

Lu Jing continued to "reflect": "My daughter insisted on leaving home, did not tell her family, followed her brother and others to the north, violated her oath, and made her father and mother suffer and worry for two years...... The daughter is unfilial, and she is willing to suffer the punishment of the family law-"

Listening to Lu Jing's words, Tang Zhan, who was standing at the door, felt inexplicably emotional......

Lu Zhanhong looked at his daughter dressed in battle armor and women's appearance, as a general of the first army, it was very different from everyone two years ago, thinking of the countless hardships that his daughter may have suffered in the past two years, Lu Zhanhong said with tears in his eyes: "If it weren't for Wang Dasheng taking his father hostage yesterday and telling me what happened to you in the past two years, I would have thought you died outside!-" The last sentence was extremely excited, especially when it came to the word "death", Lu Zhanhong couldn't help but grit his teeth and be indignant.

Lu Jing knew that under her father's seriousness, she was more worried and sad about herself, but fortunately, after the war was over, she could still kneel in front of her parents safely and soundly to atone for the sin of unfilial piety. Lu Jing closed her eyes slightly, and said quietly: "My daughter is not filial, so my father and mother are worried, if my father is punished, my daughter should suffer ......."

"Okay-" Lu Zhanhong held back his tears, picked up the wooden staff used for family law from the side of the threshold, slowly walked behind Lu Jing, raised his hand and said, "There is a saying in family law, children are not filial, and they should be responsible for the cane...... You were self-willed and undisciplined when you were young, but for the sake of your daughter, after you became sensible, your father never punished you with a rod; but this time, you have been away from home for two years, and not a letter has been returned, and your family has been waiting for a long time, and there is no news of life or death, and your mother is still suffering from illness because of this, and her unfilial piety will be punished with a heavy rod!"

"My daughter is willing to be punished—" Lu Jing knelt on the ground and said firmly.

When Lu Zhanhong saw it, he was no longer "soft", raised the wooden staff, and hit Lu Jing, his daughter, on the back.

"Don't—" Ruan Cuiying cried out loudly as she watched her daughter suffer from the cane.

"It's okay, mother, let your father fight, let your father and mother worry about it for two years, and become ill, this is the ...... that your daughter deserves" Lu Jing looked at her mother's worried eyes and comforted her.

"Bang-" As soon as the words fell, Lu Jing was hit the back-Lu Zhanhong came down with a stick, without any softness, and it hit Lu Jing's back with a heart-wrenching sound, and others watched and listened, and their hearts were entangled and unbearable.

"Forehead ......" from childhood to adulthood, this is the first time Lu Jing has been severely punished by his father's cane, although with his own body and bones, he can't stand many skin injuries, not to mention wearing armor, but this cane reprimand, but it is deeply imprinted in Lu Jing's heart - it is a kind of inner pain, the pain of remembrance.

"Bang-" Immediately after that, Lu Zhanhong still did not relent, and continued to stick hard. Lu Jing thought a lot in her mind for a while, and she didn't hold her breath to rest, but when this stick came down, she was a little dizzy in front of her, and the pain in her heart was added to it. But Lu Jing still gritted her teeth and endured the pain, she knew that she had been away from home for two years, and the worries and pains she had brought to her parents, her unfilial piety and willfulness, and she should use this punishment to atone for her sins......

While the others watched Lu Jing endure the scolding, Lu Zhanhong, as a father, had no intention of being soft on his daughter at all - Ruan Cuiying didn't say anything, she was already crying bitterly; Lu Zhao and Lu Meng, who were brothers, couldn't bear to continue to watch Lu Jing "suffer" alone, and even had the urge to accept the punishment together; while Lu Yun and other subordinates watched outside the door, the scene of "father scolding and training daughter" was the first time for a large family, and everyone was a little irritated and did not dare to continue to look directly......

Finally, Tang Zhan outside the door couldn't stand it anymore......

"Senior-" Tang Zhan ran into the main hall, knelt in front of Lu Zhanhong, and stopped him, "Senior, don't fight anymore, Jing'er knows it's wrong...... What's more, the reason for all this is because of me - if I hadn't insisted on going north two years ago, Jing'er would not have left home with me, making the two seniors worry for two years...... Blame me for everything, if the seniors want to punish me, let me be punished for Jing'er-"

Lu Jing didn't speak, but was still kneeling on the ground, and from time to time she glanced at Tang Zhan who was kneeling beside her, with a complicated expression.

Lu Zhanhong saw it in his eyes, as if he had something in his heart, his eyes were certain, he raised his stick and waved it down again......

"Knock knock-" There was a sound of a wooden stick falling to the ground, and Lu Zhanhong stopped scolding the cane......

Everyone present looked amazed......

"Two sticks are enough...... Finally, Lu Zhanhong turned his back and said slowly, "Jing'er, it is precisely because you have grown up, are sensible, and have achieved achievements outside, so now that I come back, I will beat you ruthlessly...... You remember, two sticks, for two years, two lessons - you are my daughter, I love you, you made mistakes when you were a child, I can't bear to beat you, but this time, you are too 'willful', too much, I have to beat you, let you learn a long lesson...... Because I am your father, and like your mother, I love you as a daughter more than anyone else, so I am the only one who will be ruthless and teach you a heavy cane......"

said harshly, but when Lu Jing heard it, she cherished it every sentence - in contrast, only her own daughter, who knew her father best, always loved her like her mother, and she left home this time, but she deeply hurt her parents, so she should be beaten......

"Thank you, Dad, Dad's lesson, my daughter keeps it in mind......" Lu Jing still knelt on the ground and smiled with relief.

Lu Zhanhong looked out of the door, no one noticed, the tears in the corners of his eyes still flowed down after all...... "I haven't returned for two years, your mother misses you very much, just here, accompany your mother, as well as your brother and brother, let's talk about each other......" Lu Zhanhong wiped his tears with his long sleeves, which was not easy to detect, and then walked out of the hall door and ordered, "Tang Shaoxia, you come with the old man, the old man has something to talk to......

When Tang Zhan heard this, his eyes couldn't help but be stunned, and he couldn't think of what Lu Zhanhong wanted to say to himself.

Lu Jing knelt on the ground and smiled sideways at Tang Zhan. Tang Zhan understood Lu Jing's eyes, motioned for himself to follow, then nodded and got up, and echoed: "Okay, senior......"

So, Tang Zhan also walked out of the door and slowly followed Lu Zhanhong out of the main hall......

The Lu family was left in the hall, and finally had a chance to meet again......

"Jing'er-Jing'er......" Lu Zhanhong left, Ruan Cuiying dragged her injured body and couldn't wait to walk in front of Lu Jing.

"Mother, slow down, ......" Lu Zhao and Lu Meng shouted when they saw it behind their backs. But Lu Zhao's legs and feet were inconvenient, and Lu Meng had to be on the side.

"Jing'er-" Finally seeing her daughter again, Ruan Cuiying excitedly grabbed Lu Jing's hand and kept calling out to her heart.

"Mother's ......" Lu Jing finally revealed her daughter's tender eyes, reunited with her mother, and said with tears.

"How's it going...... Is it okay, Jing'er? Your father beat you like that, does it hurt in your back, is it hurt?" Thinking of the "pain of cane punishment" just now, Ruan Cuiying was afraid that Lu Jing was hurt, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Lu Jing shook her head with a smile, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, mother, my daughter has been away for two years, and she has endured all the swords, guns and sword wounds, this 'suffering of cane punishment' is nothing...... Moreover, it is precisely because my father loves me that he beats me like that......"

Ruan Cuiying listened, thinking of the suffering that Lu Jing had suffered in the past two years, she stroked her daughter's cheek, and secretly pityd: "Look at you, you have lost so much weight that even your hands are calloused...... Your brother too, broke his leg and foot in the war, but fortunately he didn't die. The family is still together, and they have not been ...... by the tragedy of the Nangong Murong family."

Lu Jing smiled slightly, slowed her mother's hand, and continued to comfort: "Mother, my daughter has grown up, and she is no longer the daughter who slept in the ivory tower two years ago...... In the past two years, not only has she seen a wide range of things, but her daughter has also become the leader of the vanguard of the righteous army, the 'hero of salvation' in the mouth of the people of the world, and has completed the volunteer that your father and mother failed to complete in your previous life, you should be happy, right......"

"But the war is cruel, and my mother doesn't want to see you and your brother suffer from them......" Ruan Cuiying continued to say sadly.

"Don't be sad mother, isn't it okay for me to have my brother and Xiao Meng?" Lu Jing continued to comfort, "Don't worry, there is no military affairs these days, I will stay at home and spend time with my mother and father - tonight, our family will be together, as before, and have a reunion dinner in peace and harmony......"

Ruan Cuiying nodded, and tears of relief flowed from the corners of her eyes...... (To be continued.) )
