"I regretted it when I said it, but Lei Xuzhi was furious because of this and never gave me a chance to explain."

Thinking of the situation at that time, Liu Feng swallowed and continued, "Fortunately, he was still following the rules and did not do anything to us. He just asked us to go to Lexiang to witness the death of Sect Master Lei. At that time, this incident had caused an uproar in the city, and the Lei family's army also had a large-scale commotion. Some people even bleeded their arms on the spot and sweared to aggravate them. Lei Xuzhi ordered the entire army to gather in front of the mourning hall, and claimed... He claimed that what he wanted was not compensation, but morality."

Liu Bei sighed deeply.

He himself has always held high the banner of morality, but at this time, he was more annoyed by the word morality than anyone else. It is because everyone in this world has their own morality, and they can also give in, divide and compromise, but once the morality in each person's heart is involved, they often endure.

The ancients said: "Follow the Tao but not the king, follow the righteousness but not the father." For this morality, even the king and the father can be put aside... Could it be that Lei Xuzhi also needs to achieve this level?

No, Lei Xuzhi may not want to achieve this level. Lei Yuan is a smart person, and he cannot not understand the importance of the Sun-Liu Alliance to the Zuo General's Mansion. At this time, nothing can shake the Sun-Liu Alliance, and it will also not touch Mrs. Sun. Not to mention that the Lujiang Lei family is not good, Liu Bei himself can't do it.

But Lei Yuan had to do so.

I have heard that in the past few decades, the mountain has been a source of gatherings of countless refugees, defeated soldiers, bandits and despairs. People in the mountain naturally lack respect for the court and the regime, and many people are even full of hatred. To control these fierce subordinates, sometimes they must adapt to their basic requirements, and even behave more harder and more fiercely than them.

Since the people of the army would never accept the sect leader being bullied and died, Lei Yuan would never accept it. As long as he wanted to succeed the sect leader of the Lei clan of Lujiang, he must grasp the morality, even if he had to pay a heavy price for it.

Lei Yuan looked at the two bamboo slips on the case table. It was the document brought by Lei Yuan and Guan Ping. One was to file a mourning complaint to the Left General's Mansion, and the other was to file a mourning request for dismissal from his post. Lei Yuan had already done all his work. By tomorrow, he might have to do some foreign affairs.

Thinking about the efforts spent in order to attract the Lujiang Lei family; the role this clan played in stabilizing the situation after arriving in Jingzhou; and thinking about the possible conflict between the two sides in the future, perhaps he would never be able to return to his previous attitude of uninterrupted cooperation in the future, Liu Bei was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

"Military advisor, what are your tricks?"

The white feather fan shook slightly, and Zhuge Liang sat upright and pondered.

Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang and asked again, but he heard Zhuge Liang slowly say, "Bosheng, there is one thing that I haven't heard from you just now. You must ask you to think about it carefully. Lei Xuzhi said that there is no compensation, but morality. But has he said what the 'morality' he advocated?"

Isn't the morality that Xu Zhi wants... Well? Liu Feng almost opened his mouth and said something like "blood debt and blood repayment", but he thought about it carefully, but found that he could not answer. It seemed that the whole thing was going from beginning to end, and the feelings of the crowd were surging and Lei Yuan was angry, but he had never clearly stated what kind of morality the Lujiang Lei family advocated.

Liu Feng shook his head blankly: "Or it has been said, or hasn't said it? I really don't remember it."

Zhuge Liang looked at Guan Ping again.

Guan Ping thought for a while and said confidently: "Military advisor, Xu Zhi has never started."

Zhuge Liang got up and walked back and forth in the hall.

The eyes of the rest of the people followed him and they also hit him back and forth several times.

"Kong Ming, what did you think of? Could it be that there is any particularity?" Liu Bei asked.

*******

When the Left General's mansion was discussing the matter overnight, the funeral ceremony that had been prepared was being carried out in Lexiang County. The process of burial quilts, inscribed flags, bathing, and combing were not familiar with it at all, so Lei Yuan could only act slowly with other people's command.

Occasionally he would think of the stories that happened between father and son, which belonged to this world and were memories hidden deep in his mind. Lei Yuan originally thought that those memories had nothing to do with himself with a new soul, but now he knew that these memories were still clear. Although one of the protagonists of the memory left the world, and those joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness also lost their meaning, his father was still the father.

It seemed that not long after, and it seemed that after a long time, the sky in the east was white, and the stars gradually disappeared in the sky, and the morning breeze blew, and the chill was blowing.

Lei Yuan walked out of the main room and stood in the center of the courtyard to get some breath.

Many servants and maids were running around him, and sometimes someone bowed to him.

He saw Lei Xu's little wife Wu standing by the door with two children. One of the two children was named Lei Shen, who was already a teenager; the other was named Lei Xia, who was about ten years old. He looked obviously crying, but he was a little confused.

He raised his hand and pointed to the woman and the child.

Fan Hong immediately took a step forward: "[Youyou Read] Xiao Langjun?"

"No, how can you let them stand outside?" Lei Yuan said: "Let them all go in and accompany them. Please place them well, don't be rude."

Lei Xu's family management method seems to be a problem, so when he passed away, someone tried to show his goodwill to him in this way. But Lei Yuan would not do anything to bully an orphan and widowed mother, not to mention that the two children were indeed his relatives in blood.

Lei Shen was obviously more agile and kept paying attention to Lei Yuan. Seeing Lei Yuan signaling to him, he suddenly ran over and bowed like a decent look.

"I've met my brother."

Lei Yuan nodded slightly, looked at Lei Shen and did not speak.

The boy's appearance is more delicate than Lei Yuan, obviously he looks less like his father Lei Xu and more like his mother.

At this moment, Lei Yuan suddenly thought of his brother Lei Xiu who died on the battlefield. The age difference between Lei Xiu and himself was probably the same as himself and Lei Shen. When he was a child, the two brothers got along intimately, which was one of Lei Yuan’s few good memories. Even though Lei Yuan was no longer the Lei Yuan he used to, when he was searching for the memorials, he still felt that kind of warmth.

Seeing Lei Yuan not speaking, Lei Shen seemed a little afraid, but it did not show it clearly.

"Take good care of your mother and brother, tell them not to worry about anything." Lei Yuan said.

"Yes." Lei Shen gave a gift.

When Lei Yuan was talking, Wu hesitated and thought about it, but was stopped by Fan Hong. Lei Shenzhe went back and said a few words. Wu looked at Lei Yuan, showed a grateful look, and hurriedly saluted; Lei Yuan nodded slightly, and they went into the house.

And Lei Yuan stepped outward.

When he walked outside the courtyard gate, he seemed to have entered another world.

Hundreds of fully armed soldiers stood in black all over the streets outside the door. They were waiting silently, and the silence and solemn spirit penetrated the audience. Lei Yuan stared at them quietly, as if he saw wild beasts forced to a dead end.

These people are the real backbone of the Lei family in Lujiang. They are warriors who are generous in sorrow and joy, and are generous in their own lords. They are heroes who take the shame of the lord as their own, and resolutely strive to avenge them. Lei Yuan believes that even if he asks them to launch a decisive attack on Gong'an City, they will act immediately without hesitation.

The soldiers stared at Lei Yuan, waiting for his orders.

After a night, calmness and reason had returned to Lei Yuan, but his anger was still burning like a flame and not extinguished. He even thought that, to some extent, it was because he had bloody in the mountains that ruled out many opponents and advocated coming to Jingzhou to rely on Liu Bei, which caused the current result. This made him feel strong guilt. The guilt aggravated the anger, prompting him to make up his mind to do something to force some people to bow their heads.

He also firmly believed that he had the power to do what he wanted to do!

Lei Yuan took a deep breath and exhale deeply.

Just as he was about to say something to the soldiers, a horse suddenly ran from outside the city.
Chapter completed!
