Luo Jing was slightly stunned by the old man's complaints.
I almost suspected that I had heard it wrong.
He turned his head, glanced at the old man, and hesitated slightly.
"That... Senior..."
Luo Jing asked suspiciously: "Why are you so angry?"
My death seems to have nothing to do with you, right
Or is it that Emperor Li has some kind of relationship with the Zhenbei Palace
But according to the history that Luo Jing knew, when the empress ascended the throne, the old Zhenbei King made the greatest contribution. It was the powerful military force of the Zhenbei King that cleared all obstacles and the empress was able to ascend the throne successfully.
At that time, the evil prime minister Yan Song was deposed and driven away. The emperor, who had been imprisoned in the deep palace for many years by the evil prime minister, had a keen sense of smell. He immediately broke free from the cage, won over the imperial guards in the capital camp, broke into the palace at the critical moment, and ascended the throne again.
However, the restoration of Emperor Li lasted only one night, and the Prince of Zhenbei led his army back and broke through the capital. Finally, in full view of the public, the old Prince of Zhenbei beat Emperor Li to death on the dragon throne.
Logically speaking, the descendants of Emperor Li should have an irreconcilable feud with the Zhenbei Palace. Why does this old man react so strangely
Luo Jing expressed his confusion.
Feng Bulie glared at Luo Jing and said, "How come you don't know anything?"
"That little bastard Lu Gaoxu didn't tell you anything?"
As he spoke, Feng Bulie slapped his forehead and said, "Nonsense! You must have said nothing!"
"If Lu Gaoxu had told you the situation, how could you have hidden from our Zhenbei Palace?"
"That bastard is really not doing anything!"
Feng Bulie said, somewhat indignantly: "If he had told you everything, you wouldn't have hidden in the Zhenbei Palace, and you wouldn't have been seen by the old gang members of the Heavenly Book Pavilion."
"Now I have to send you to the Night Division... Hateful!"
Feng Bulie said, staring at Luo Jing angrily, "Where's Lu Gaoxu? Where did your father, that bastard Lu Gaoxu, go?"
"It's ok that there has been no news for so many years, but he didn't tell you anything and let you go to the Central Plains alone... Is there shit in his head!"
Feng Bulie was indignant.
Luo Jing hesitated slightly: "Um... Senior, please calm down."
Luo Jing looked around and found that people were coming and going around.
But the old man said, "Speak whatever you want, no one can hear you. Within ten steps, everyone is within the protective Qi of my body. Even if a Taixu cultivator comes, he won't be able to hear what we are saying."
"You can speak freely, don't worry about the walls having ears."
The old man's words made Luo Jing slightly stunned.
He sensed it slightly, but could not find the location of the protective true qi that the old man mentioned.
It seems that the gap in strength between the two sides is too big...
Luo Jing said helplessly: "Senior, please calm down. The person you scolded is actually no longer alive."
"He died of illness when I was young."
"He went astray while practicing the Heavenly Demon Technique and could not be saved."
"I was raised by a maid, and I never knew my true identity. It was not until I cultivated to the God Summoning Realm and recovered my memories as a baby that I learned my true identity."
Luo Jing simplified and modified part of his own experience and told Feng Bulie about it to test the old man's reaction.
Feng Bulie was stunned, unable to accept this bad news.
"Is that kid Lu Gaoxu dead?"
"Were you raised by a maid?"
The old man grabbed Luo Jing and asked anxiously, "What about your sister? Your sister Lu Li... You two siblings came out of seclusion together with that brat Lu Gaoxu. Where's your sister? And your mother? Are they okay?"
The old man's nervousness and concern are not fake.
Luo Jing looked at the nervous old man in silence, confirming that the old man really cared about their family, the descendants of Emperor Li.
but…
Luo Jing sighed, "When my father went astray and died, my mother also died."
"As for my sister..." Luo Jing paused and said, "I don't know where she is. Maybe she is still alive."
Luo Jing continued to talk nonsense and did not tell the truth.
Although the old man cared about him very much, Luo Jing's character destined him to not be easily trusted by others.
Therefore, Luo Jingmohu just perfunctorily gave an answer without making any comment.
But this news has crushed the old man.
This legendary number one warrior in the North and top master of the time, after hearing Luo Jing's answer, he stood there in a daze, looking at Luo Jing in disbelief.
There was unspeakable sadness and heartache in his eyes.
After a long while, the old man murmured, "Is this the reason why Lu Gaoxu hasn't sent any news back in all these years?"
"I thought he was resentful of the old prince's arrangement back then, but it turns out to be like this..."
The old man looked at Luo Jing again, and his eyes became kind and distressed, so kind that Luo Jing even felt a little corny.
"Kid, you've suffered a lot over the years."
The old man sighed, patted Luo Jing's shoulder slowly, and said: "So you really don't know anything, so you dare to enter the Central Plains alone... Alas..."
"Lu Gaoxu, ah Lu Gaoxu..."
"And old prince... if you knew this would happen, would you still drive them away?"
The old man was extremely sad, recalling the past.
Luo Jing listened to the old man's whispers and vaguely guessed something.
It seems that the descendants of Emperor Li lived in the north and were protected by the Zhenbei Palace? But later, for some reason, the old Zhenbei King drove Lu Gaoxu and his family away
Calculating the time, when Lu Gaoxu and his family left the Zhenbei Palace, Lu Li had already been born, so the old man knew the names of Luo Jing and Lu Li.
But Lu Li should have been very young at that time, and Luo Jing was also very young. It was probably more than 20 years ago
More than 20 years ago, the elderly empress began to become senile and killed all the royal descendants. Almost all the royal descendants of Taizu were killed by the empress.
At that point in time, the old King of Zhenbei might have been unable to continue to protect the descendants of Emperor Li, so he drove Lu Gaoxu and his family out of the Great Wall
Although the area outside the pass is the territory of the Demon Sect, at least it is far away from the threats from the Night Watch and the Queen.
However, the old King of Zhenbei did not expect that not long after he drove Lu Gaoxu's family away, Lu Gaoxu's family was destroyed because he went astray during his cultivation and was killed by a greedy maid.
Luo Jing guessed what happened back then and stood beside the old man without saying a word.
If you want to make a lie sound true, it has to be half true and half false, or even nine out of ten true and one out of ten false. In addition, you need to say less.
Because the more you talk, the bigger the loophole will be.
The old man didn't speak, and Luo Jing didn't continue talking either.
After a while, the old man came back to his senses from the sadness of reminiscing.
He looked at Luo Jing with melancholy, and said, "Don't be afraid, kid. Go to the Night Walk Division and stay there for two days."
"When Uncle Feng returns, I will try to persuade Young Master to find a way to rescue you."
