Chapter 561: The green water will not change, and your Nanchu will perish.
The courtyard of the Lu family ancestral hall was in a mess. The clan elders gathered around to help Lu Jiuxiao. The young and strong men surrounded the Zhenyuan Lao Dao and a group of imperial guards and Dingxiang guards, their faces full of unkindness.
Qingfeng rushed out and stopped in front of the real veteran Taoist, to prevent the blind young men from the Lu family from rushing up and giving the old Tao a blow.
After a while, Lu Jiuxiao was finally rescued. Several clan elders were arguing. Lu Jiuxiao sat down on the chair and looked at the True Elder Taoist with eyes like fire.
"Zhonglian, there is no grudge between you and me. When my uncle fell ill and died, I was the one who threw the basin. You came to find trouble for me. Are you feeling sorry for me and the Lu family?
ah."
The true veteran sighed: "I won't mention what happened back then. I'm here today because something good has happened to you. If you are willing to listen, I will say it again. If you don't want to listen, I will turn around and leave.
It also saves you, Lu Laojiu, from worrying about the little Jiujiu in your heart and throwing all kinds of shit basins at my head."
In the ancestral hall, the elders immediately started shouting.
"Back then, you, Lu Zhonglian, left home because you failed the exam. What qualifications do you have to come back?"
"For our Lu family, if we fail to achieve the coming of age ceremony, we will have to accept the ministry ourselves. Only then can we continue to stay in the ancestral hall."
"Lu Zhonglian failed your coming-of-age ceremony and refused to accept the ministry. Your name cannot be left in the ancestral hall."
The clan elders talked in confusion.
The True Master looked around, took out a wooden kite the size of a child's palm from his sleeve, breathed in for a while, and tossed it casually, and the wooden kite flew into the sky.
"Okay, look at the way it flies into the sky. It won't be a problem if it flies for three days and three nights."
Lu Laosan was standing next to him and cheered, but after cheering, he immediately shrank his neck to the side. He was good at carving and doing things, but his emotional intelligence was not good, otherwise he would not be able to enter the ancestral hall despite his age.
Pine torches were lit in the courtyard, illuminating the inside and outside of the ancestral hall. Several young men from the Lu family filed in and inserted the torches into the grooves on the wall. The main hall immediately became brighter.
Lu Jiuxiao nodded heavily, his voice drowning out the clan elders in the ancestral hall.
"The third child is right. This wooden kite can fly for three days without any problem. You have passed the test, and now you are still a member of the Lu family."
As he spoke, Lu Jiuxiao stood up, his tall and thin figure trembling:
"Zhong Lian, the family has reached a critical point of life and death. They want to kill our Lu family if they offend the nobles in the government. If you have a way to save the Lu family, it doesn't matter if the patriarch is given to you."
Lu Zhonglian shook his head: "What do I want from the clan leader of Laoshizi? I didn't come here to save you, I just wanted to mention my close brothers and juniors in the family. No one responded to my letter to you, so I had to leave by myself.
It happened once.”
Lu Jiuxiao shook his head:
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work. Although the Han Dynasty is good, it is not our homeland. Even if we leave our hometown to seek wealth, it is not a solution."
"No, no, Zhong Lian, your method won't work."
A group of clan elders discussed it, but they did not reject it directly like Lu Jiuxiao.
The True Elder Taoist glanced at the people in the ancestral hall and spoke in a loud voice:
"Then you should think about it. The commander of the Ordnance Department of the Han Kingdom is General Mingwei of the fourth rank. It consists of the Bird Division, the Ballista Division, the Warship Division, the Armor Division, and the Spear Division. The chief officer only employs craftsmen.
From the fifth rank of guerrilla general."
"I have already negotiated with the prince and asked for the heads of two departments. Are you willing to go? Do you have the ability to capture this fifth-grade guerrilla general?"
Before the True Elder Tao finished speaking, the clan elders' breathing became heavier, and their eyes looking at the True Elder Tao were already full of brilliance.
From the fifth rank of guerrilla general, this is a general.
In the military, there has always been a clear distinction between lieutenants and generals. How many old lieutenants may not be promoted to guerrilla generals after spending their entire lives.
A clan elder licked his lips, his wrinkled face flashing with excitement:
"If there is a way to defeat the army, can this fifth-grade guerrilla general lead an army of soldiers?"
The real veteran glanced at the old man who spoke: "The honors of the Han Dynasty are strict. Since you are from the fifth rank, then everything is equivalent to being from the fifth rank. Entering the army is also a general."
Several clan elders immediately turned their attention to Lu Jiuxiao who was sitting upright:
"Clan leader, this is feasible, just listen to Zhonglian."
"Since Zhong Lian can bring people back, it must be a good thing."
"Listen to Zhonglian, this is an opportunity for our Lu family to rise. Among all the countries, only Han has the most important craftsmen."
After being persuaded by several clan elders, Lu Jiuxiao's expression became a little relaxed. He looked at the people around Zhen Yuan Dao and slowly came to Qingfeng.
"Young general, may I ask what your relationship is with Zhonglian? What is your current official position?"
Qingfeng looked at his master and sighed.
"I am the master's apprentice. I am currently serving as the Internal Information Converter Department of the Ordnance Mansion. I am a member of the sixth rank, and my title is the sixth rank Zhaowu Deputy Lieutenant."
Lu Jiuxiao turned to Gao Dabao next to him: "May I ask this military master, what is your position?"
Gao Dabao grinned: "I am from the imperial guard camp, a personal guard beside the prince, and a lieutenant of Yihui from the seventh rank."
Lu Jiuxiao's face straightened when he heard this, and he saluted Gao Dabao: "Master Gao, I am rude to you. I hope you will forgive me."
Gao Dabao said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, come with us quickly. Although you are doing well here, you are going to have your family wiped out. We will have to wait for a few years in the north. When our Han Dynasty defeats Southern Chu, then we can
Just come back."
Lu Jiuxiao's face straightened when he heard this, "Master Gao is joking, Chu has the military god Xiao Yan, who is invincible in battle, and there are all kinds of sophisticated military weapons made by our Lu family members, how can your Han country be our Chu country's opponent?"
.”
Wang Wu said with a smile: "Don't worry, ancestor. Since this tall man dares to say this, then our country of Han has the strength to equal the state of Chu. Among all the countries, no Han state can defeat Tule or Mie Rou.
However, after driving out the barbarians, defeating the Taixi people, and defeating the British in both directions, the Tang Kingdom was captured by my generals, and I didn’t even dare to let go of anything.”
"It's normal that you live in a corner and haven't heard of these things, but I want to remind you that our country, Han, is invincible in the world."
A group of clan elders began to discuss in low voices.
Lu Jiuxiao's face suddenly turned gloomy, and finally he threw the crutch heavily to the ground.
"I have no reason to hesitate. My family is about to be exterminated. Survival is the most important thing."
"Let's go, let's all go. Just listen to Mr. Gao. We all go. If we want to come back, we will come back when the Han Dynasty unifies the country."
…
Three days later, the Nanchu army finally arrived after receiving the news.
On the border between Qin and Chu, Kang Mazi, who was in charge of the army, looked unkind and muttered:
"Insanity, just leave. I still want to wait for the army to come over and say harsh words."
Lu Jiuxiao, who was sitting in the carriage in front, remained silent, pretending not to hear Kang Mazi's curse.
The real veteran turned his head and glanced at Kang Mazi. Kang Mazi immediately shut up and said with a smile:
"Sir, look at my mouth. I accidentally said the wrong thing. You, sir, don't care about a rough guy like me."
"Hey, here you go, Nanchu Xiao Cong, he really values your Lu family."
Kang Mazi looked serious and gave instructions, while also giving instructions to the deputy lieutenant next to him.
"The spear-tortoise shell formation opens up."
Xiao Cong led his troops to the border, and when he saw the person he was pursuing, his face turned ugly.
"Old Patriarch, why did you go so far and surrender to the Han Dynasty? What good will it do to your Lu family? Think about the relatives and friends of your Lu family who are all over the army. How can you just abandon them like this?"
Lu Jiuxiao stood on the carriage and saluted Xiao Cong with clasped fists:
"Master Xiao, the green water will flow forever and the green mountains will not change. I have no choice but to wait here. But I have a message for Master Xiao. The manufacturing of the True Essence Crossbow is in my Lu family. I hope that Master Xiao can let me go.
Relatives in the military."
Xiao Cong shook his head.
Lu Jiuxiao sighed, turned around and got into the carriage.
Kang Mazi waved his hand, and the guards rushed forward.
"Xiao Cong, I also want to give you a message. If the green water doesn't change, your Nan Chu will be destroyed. You'd better live in peace and anger my Han country. I don't mind pacifying you."
