Her words immediately made Lu Gui and Wang Dai burst into tears.
Lu Chuan gritted his teeth desperately and tried his best to calm down.
He is now the backbone of the Lu family and must not show any weakness.
When Wen Qingzhu saw the Lu family's current appearance, she couldn't bear to look any further. Fu Lie stretched out his hand to stop her shoulder.
The crying continued for a long time, until Zuotang knocked on the door: "General Lu, there is something strange happening over there with the Huns."
Half an hour ago, in a woods outside Dingyuan City.
Pei Zhixuan chased after him and lost sight of Zita.
Looking around, there was no one around. Pei Zhixuan was about to turn around when a sword was placed across his neck.
"Miss Pei, why do you insist on following me?"
Pei Zhixuan looked back sideways and saw that it was indeed Zita. She slowly turned back and looked at him and said: "Prince Zhita, Miss Lei Shuo was hypnotized by Pei Yi. She married Lu Chuan just because she didn't remember you." of the past.”
When it came to Lei Shuo, Jieta still couldn't calm down, but he knew very well the purpose of Pei Zhixuan's words.
The blade of the sword was close to Pei Zhixuan's neck: "Since I didn't do anything, I won't bother her anymore. You can't change Lu Chuan's mind yourself, so you want to borrow power from me?"
Pei Zhixuan did not feel any embarrassment when her intentions were revealed. Instead, she said very calmly: "Yes, I think we can join forces."
"Join forces with you?" Zita couldn't see through her.
Pei Zhixuan took out a wolf fang, and Guita's expression changed instantly: "Where did you get this thing?"
Looking down at the wolf fang in her hand, Pei Zhixuan said calmly: "I got this from Pei Yi's men. Do you know why the White Wolf tribe suffered a disastrous defeat?"
"Did he poison A Yuan Che?" Zita quickly thought of A Yuan Che's death before the war.
Pei Zhixuan threw the wolf fang over and was caught by Zhita.
"He did not inject the poison, but Pei Yi sent people to do the fatal injury to A Yuan Che. What he wanted was not that the Fu Jiajun destroyed the White Wolf Army, nor that the White Wolf Army destroyed the Fu Jiajun. He wanted them both. We will all perish if we lose.”
Kota rubbed the wolf fang and made sure it was a military order from the White Wolf Army, then sheathed the sword.
The atmosphere calmed down, and Pei Zhixuan talked about the next plan: "Pei Yi now has the emperor's trust. If nothing else happens, the next step is to use the Lu family army to destroy you Xiongnu. I suggest you ask for peace from Daqi and let Lei Shuo be the leader. I and my relatives choose to marry you."
"The White Wolf Army is indeed gone, but the Fu Family Army also exists in name only. Don't be too arrogant as a Qi State." Jieta thought Pei Zhixuan was here to persuade him.
Pei Zhixuan didn't want to laugh out loud, her eyes narrowed slightly and she said: "Do you really think that you Huns can seriously hurt Lu Chengen? He was just plotted against him. The remaining Lu Chuan doesn't matter."
"Why did Pei Yi do this?" Zita's contact with Pei Zhixuan was limited, but he knew very well that the woman in front of him would not lie about this kind of thing.
After all, this is of no benefit to Qi Guo.
"Because he is a descendant of Princess Qingyun, and he wants to avenge Princess Qingyun, no matter the cost."
In the Xiongnu military camp.
Jita stood in front of the sand table and thought about Pei Zhixuan's words over and over again.
When he was entangled, Gu Kuo asked for a meeting outside.
"Come in." Zhita calmed down and watched Gu Kuo enter.
After the salute, Gu Kuo raised his hand and reported: "Prince, Lu Chengen attended the wedding of Lu Chuan and Miss Lei."
Attending a wedding? How can it be!
His people have confirmed Lu Chengen's condition, and his ability to survive is already the limit.
"Are you sure?" Zita held his hands slightly behind his back. He knew very well that Gu Kuo's sweetheart Xia Tian had returned to the Lu family again.
Gu Kuo knew that Jieta did not completely trust him, so he did not explain further: "If the prince doesn't believe it, you can wait until tomorrow and see. There are not many people attending Lu Chuan's wedding."
Gu Kuo was very hesitant to ask Gu Kuo to step back.
I thought that Lu Chengen would definitely die, but since he was able to attend the wedding, it at least proved that his situation could improve.
Pei Zhixuan's words on the other side made him really care.
This time, Pei Yi not only destroyed the White Wolf Army and severely damaged the Fu Family Army, but most importantly, he also attacked Lu Ce again and again.
With Pei Zhixuan's ability, he might be able to understand the origins of the Lu family and the White Wolf tribe, but Lu Ce's identity was only told to him by Wu Zhu not long ago.
"Lu Jiajun..." Zhita thought for a moment and finally made a decision.
Upstairs of Yonghe Pass.
Looking at the 30,000 Huns cavalry who were less than ten miles away in front of him, Wen Qingzhu felt very strange.
She had already let Zhita meet Lei Shuo last time, so Zhita should have given up. Why would she choose to attack Qi today
Turning to look at Lu Chuan beside her, she said with great worry: "Why don't you let Yang Liu fight first? You can check the situation later and then go up?"
"No need! Since the Huns are ready to attack, our Lu family has been guarding the border for generations. This is my responsibility." After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he turned and went downstairs.
Not long after, the gate of Yonghe Pass slowly opened, and Lu Chuan took the lead, leading the Lu family's army to charge out.
The war is about to break out. This is the first time that the Qi army and the Huns army face the battlefield.
The sound of fighting shook the sky and the earth, blood dyed the sunset red, and the vast land was filled with gunpowder smoke and countless corpses.
The war lasted for three days and three nights. I don't know whether it was the Xiongnu army who was jealous of the killing, or the Lu family army who was jealous of the killing. Both sides became more and more courageous.
Until Fu Lie appeared with more than 10,000 Fu's troops, the Huns immediately changed their war drums and blew the retreat horn, and a large number of Huns retreated like a tide.
When Lu Chuan entered the gate on horseback, he was covered in blood. Lei Shuo hurriedly greeted him, stepped on the stirrup and mounted the horse, and supported the shaky Lu Chuan.
Someone seemed to be watching her behind her. Lei Shuo suddenly turned around and saw a lonely black figure on the grassland.
The figure of the man looked so familiar that it even made her heart flutter, but Lei Shuo still turned around with awe and took Lu Chuan back to Dingyuan for treatment.
The lobby of the Lu family was silent.
Wen Qingzhu sat on the main seat and looked at the two people coming from the capital with a gloomy expression.
After a while, Lu Lei was the first to ask: "How is uncle?"
"It's okay. The injury is serious. It's not convenient to see outsiders for the time being." Although Wen Qingzhu was Lu Lei who answered, it was another person he was looking at - Ji Chun.
Meeting Wen Qingzhu's gaze, Ji Chun said very steadily: "This subordinate already knows that the emperor also heard that General Lu was seriously injured, so he sent his ministers here and brought the best imperial doctor in the capital."
Ji Chun raised his hand, and the half-old imperial doctor behind him came out and saluted Wen Qingzhu and said hello.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the person in front of him carefully, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Why have I never seen this imperial doctor before?"
"He entered the palace after the princess left the capital. His name is -"
"No introduction is necessary! Since the emperor sent the imperial doctor here, he must not trust my medical skills. Since Mr. Ji is here, why not be a witness."
Wen Qingzhu stood up. Lu Su, who was sitting on the other side of the table, was very worried. Before he could move, Lu Gui next to him took his hand and motioned her not to interrupt.
Walking to the imperial physician, Wen Qingzhu took out a bottle of poison and said, "This is my own secret preparation of poison. If the imperial physician can detoxify it within an hour, I will let you see General Lu."
Not only the imperial doctor, but also Ji Chun's face turned a bit green. He said patiently again and again: "This is the emperor's order. Please don't make it difficult for the princess to resign."
Turning to look at Ji Chun, Wen Qingzhu stopped smiling: "Oral instructions? I only believe in imperial edicts."
Ji Chun seemed to be waiting for Wen Qingzhu's words and took out the imperial edict directly, not wanting to be snatched away by Beidou in the next second, leaving only his red and swollen palms.
At this moment, Ji Chun fully understood Pei Yu's advice before leaving. He looked at Wen Qingzhu angrily: "Is the princess trying to disobey the decree?"
"No, I just didn't see your Majesty's imperial edict." Wen Qingzhu had a smile on his face, which made Ji Chun shudder.
He knew that the emperor would not do anything to Wen Qingzhu, but it was his responsibility if the job was not done well.
Ji Chun couldn't bear it anymore: "Do you have to have the emperor come to you in person before you are willing to obey the order?!"
Surprisingly, Wen Qingzhu fell silent.
Ji Chun felt very strange. The emperor had been dissatisfied with the regent and his wife for a long time. Did Wen Qingzhu finally feel it
Unexpectedly, Wen Qingzhu suddenly raised his eyes and said to him seriously: "If the emperor came to Dingyuan just to let me return to the capital, then I should not have supported him to the throne in the first place!"
"You... How dare you make unreasonable remarks... Make unreasonable remarks..." Ji Chun looked around and found that everyone had their heads lowered, except Wen Qingzhu who was looking at him steadily, leaving him speechless.
It wasn't that he was timid, but Wen Qingzhu's eyes looked so much like the emperor's that it made him feel inexplicably afraid.
Ever since Pei Yu's power was eclipsed, Ji Chun felt the crisis. Before Pei Yi came to the door, he took the initiative to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yi's attitude was very ambiguous, which made him panic.
After waiting for a long time, such a mission came.
As a result, he met Pei Yu by chance and received a piece of advice not to go to Dingyuan.
Ji Chun was eager to prove his worth and decided to take the risk.
It turned out that Wen Qingzhu was more arrogant and domineering than he imagined. He became the emperor's master in the capital, and he was also the master of the Lu family in Dingyuan!
"What are you talking about?" Wen Qingzhu handed the poison to him, making Ji Chun take three steps back in fright.
Wen Qingzhu oil and salt were not available, so Ji Chun could only leave angrily and decided to go to Zuotang first.
Watching his leaving figure, Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao to go to the left hall to say hello, and then looked at Lu Lei.
"Why didn't your father come?"
"My father offended General Bu Liugu and is now dismissed from his post at home."
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Lu Lei hurriedly asked: "What happened to uncle?"
Wen Qingzhu was about to reply when he saw Lu Shu stood up and said, "Follow me."
After wandering to the door of Lu's underground ice room, Lu Shu's stone door, a burst of cold air quickly came out.
She pointed inside and said, "Dad is inside."
"Uncle, is he in there?" Lu Lei had a very bad feeling in his heart.
This is an icehouse to store ice cubes or frozen food needed in the summer. How can people live here
unless-
Lu Shu stopped talking and walked directly inside. Lu Lei followed behind her, his whole body starting to tremble.
Until he came to the ice coffin, a familiar face appeared in his sight.
With a pop, Lu Lei knelt on the ground, stretching his hands towards the edge of the ice coffin. His eyes quickly became red and swollen, and he tried desperately to hold back tears, but in the end he couldn't.
"Uncle! How could the uncle die? He is so powerful, how could he die?" Lu Lei couldn't believe that a member of the Lu family died.
Wen Qingzhu walked to the other side and looked down at the body in the ice coffin: "There is something wrong with the general's injury. We only discovered this after he died. We originally wanted to send a message back to Beijing first, but it was very strange that the Huns suddenly started a war, so We concealed his death."
"It wasn't just the Huns who did it?" The tears on Lu Lei's face condensed into ice, and he looked at her blankly.
"That's right!" Wen Qingzhu pointed to the two wounds on Lu Chengen's armpit and said, "When I saw the general before, his wounds had been covered as they were. I didn't notice it at the time. It was only after he died that the ribs were discovered. There’s something strange about the knife edge on it.”
"Then do you have any clues?" Lu Lei stood up and quickly calmed down his emotions.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while: "Yes, but I'm not sure because this matter is of great importance. I want to ask Sister Shu a question."
