Chapter Fifty-ninth: No word is better than ten thousand words, the Lu family's choice
The Lu family in the east.
One of the eight founding families of the People's Republic of China.
An ancient family that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.
Look at the vicissitudes of the ages, the world has changed, but it still stands tall.
For such an ancient family, there is a legend in charge, which can ensure the family's immortality.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the Lu family broke away from Daqian and founded their own country based on their heritage, they could become a powerful country second only to the Seven Sects of the Ten Kingdoms.
This is why.
The Eight Founding Members of the People's Republic of China had such great energy in Daqian.
And even the late emperor couldn't suppress them directly.
Their choices can also affect Daqian.
But recently, the Lu family has been very uneasy.
The imperial edict of Qin Hai asked the Ning and Lu families to mobilize their strong men to guard the Kuntian Mountains.
And for this kind of ancient clan, even Qin Hai has no control over it.
The Lu family are not stupid.
You know that the Kuntian Mountains are a meat grinder.
The Eighteenth Prince is in a fierce momentum. He must capture Kuntian and send out a large army. If he really resists forcefully, he doesn't know how many people will die.
"Master, what should we do? The war in Kuntian is urgent, and His Majesty has issued successive imperial edicts. We cannot delay any longer, otherwise we will be disobeying the imperial power. You should know that this is the most taboo thing for the royal family."
All of them were clan elders, and they were all standing next to a middle-aged man.
"There is a legend behind the Eighteenth Prince, and powerful generals such as Yun, Dian Wei, Meng Tian, Zhang Liang, Huang Zhong, Yang Quan, and the Three Elders of Xueyuan are all powerful characters. And until now, no one knows that there is someone hiding around him. What can be predicted, if we join the war, the strong family members will suffer countless injuries!"
A clan leader is worried.
"Humph, it is also a conspiracy to fight against the Eighteenth Prince. The big families in the Central Region have been harboring ill intentions and have been expanding their power to the Eastern Region. This time, all the local tribes in the Eastern Region have been transferred to the front line. I heard that the losses were not small. And after the war? The strong ones in the Eastern Territory will be empty. At that time, they will be occupied by others."
"It's a good strategy to weaken the local power in the east and suppress the eighteen princes."
"Yes, especially the Cai and Su families, they have been expanding in the east in recent years."
An elder from the clan expressed his dissatisfaction.
The territory of Daqian became stable, and the structure of Ten Kingdoms and Seven Sects was formed. Before major changes were formed, it became more involuntarily.
"My Lu family has been a little lonely in the past thousand years."
They shook their heads.
In the past thousand years, the Lu family has not produced any outstanding geniuses, not even a few quasi-legends. Their strength has declined a lot and they can no longer withstand big losses.
Flowers never bloom.
The country will prosper forever.
Even ancient tribes that have been inherited for tens of thousands of years may decline and be eaten by others bite by bite.
Just like the Kuntian Divine Sect from a long time ago, after reaching its peak, it also fell apart.
If the Lu family does not strengthen itself, it will become history.
"We must not participate in the Kuntian War lightly. It can be expected that if we participate in the war, we will inevitably suffer losses. If we push the Eighteenth Prince into a desperate situation, we will definitely die and bring disaster to the entire Eastern Territory. This His Highness is not a simple character!"
The clan elder said sternly.
"But it's easy to say, this is an imperial decree, can we really disrespect it completely?"
Another family of old men.
There was a lot of discussion, and there was a quarrel.
The current patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Chongfeng, had a headache.
How could he not know the hidden dangers in this?
All in all, it would not do him any good to the Lu family, and the power of the eighteenth prince was also very powerful.
"What are the Ning family doing? Have they gone to the Kuntian Mountains?"
Lu Chongfeng asked.
Although the Ninglu and Ninglu families are both in the Eastern Territory, their priorities are different.
The Ning family is closer to the sea and has considerable power on the deserted sea.
The Lu family is located around the Kuntian Mountains and is more powerful.
"The Ning family seems to have gone!"
"How easy is it for those old foxes from the Ning family to leave? For thousands of years, they have kept a low profile and have not participated in the struggle."
Lu Chongfeng didn't believe it.
"Clan leader, I have news here. The Ning family only went there symbolically. After the loss of the northern border, it is said that a large number of powerful Ning family members went to the deserted sea."
"I heard that the Ning family discovered an alien space in Guixu Ruins of the Desolate Sea. There are countless treasures inside, and there are also opportunities to lead to legends. Countless of their powerful people have gone there to seize the opportunity and offer it to the current Saint."
"Old fox!"
When Lu Chongfeng heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry and cursed directly.
What a treasure.
He knew very well that there were countless treasures in the deserted sea.
He believed that the Ning family might really want to offer the treasure, but going before the war started also showed their attitude.
The Ning family is willing to obey the imperial court's instructions, but they can't do it. A large number of powerful people have gone to Guixu. The environment there makes it impossible for them to return immediately even if they want to.
This kind of political intuition is too keen, and the strong ones should be removed early.
Even if the court knew about it, it wouldn't be able to find any thorns in it.
You deserve to have your family prosper and not decline.
"The treasure offering may be true, but I don't know who it will be dedicated to. It depends on the battle in the east, but now it has given us all the problems."
He was annoyed.
The Ning family did not inform him of the expedition.
"Clan leader, does anyone want to see you?"
Suddenly, a man came in.
"If you don't see anyone, if it's someone from the imperial court, just send him away."
Lu Chongfeng was bored.
"Chief, this man is not from the imperial court. He is Mengfeng, the governor of Yanshan County and the envoy of the eighteenth prince." The messenger said.
"Mengfeng!"
Lu Chongfeng's expression changed: "I understand."
The eighteenth prince's envoy arrived at this time, and he could guess why.
He thought for a while and decided to meet him.
In a guest reception hall.
Meng Feng was drinking tea. When he saw Lu Chongfeng arriving, he stood up and said, "Clan Chief Lu, long time no see."
"Mengfeng, you are so brave. As the imperial governor, you directly surrendered to the rebels. Do you believe that the leader of the clan will arrest you and send you to the imperial court for questioning!"
Lu Chongfeng shouted.
"No, if Lu Chongfeng wanted to plead guilty, I wouldn't be sitting here drinking tea right now." Meng Feng said with a smile.
"Tell me, why did you come to my Lu family?" Lu Chongfeng said.
"Lu Chongfeng must be able to guess what I want to say, and this is a letter His Highness asked me to bring."
Mengfeng took out the letter.
"Your Highness's letter!"
Lu Chongfeng was silent for a long time before accepting the letter.
Without waiting to open it, Meng Feng added: "I know that the Lu family is in a difficult situation now, but I want to say that this time is very important to the Lu family. The choice is up to you, the patriarch, and you should know that His Highness is determined
, will definitely seize the throne."
Lu Chongfeng just nodded.
When he opened it, he found a piece of white paper with nothing on it.
"Speechless words are worth a thousand words. I understand what Your Highness means."
He is a smart man and knows that there are actually countless sentences on a piece of paper.
After he finished speaking, he sat on the chair for a long time.
Even if the wind blows, it won't bother you. How can you not think about it for a long time if you know such a big thing?
This quiet period lasted only half an hour.
"Mengfeng, you stay here first, I have other things to do."
After he left, he went to the family's forbidden area.
In the forbidden area, where the legendary ancestor of the Lu family retreated, he looked towards a house in front of him.
He, the head of the family, cannot make a decision on such a big matter, leaving it to the legendary ancestor to decide.
"Give this letter to the ancestor. It is from the eighteenth prince."
He handed the letter to a guard outside.
After the ancestor received the letter, he did not reply immediately. After a long time, the guards actually brought out two letters.
"Clan leader, this is what our ancestor meant." the guard said.
One letter is from Qin Yu.
One letter is from the ancestor of the Lu family.
Lu Chongfeng opened it and found a piece of white paper with no words written on it.
Smart people like this anyway.
"Ancestor, I understand what you mean." This chapter has been completed!
