Wu Zhan shed tears all the way, but now he didn't shed a single tear. His father told him that he didn't want to see his tears and that it was a sign of cowardice. Now facing the spiritual status of everyone in the family, his father's words and deeds towards him are all vividly remembered and he dare not forget them. He wants to be a strong man like his father, be proud of his father, and want his father to be proud of him.
Everyone looked at the memorial tablets on the table, which were the memorial tablets of the entire Wu family. Neatly and densely packed. There are a total of three hundred and forty-two, which are the spiritual tablets of everyone in the Wu family when they were exterminated, including the hired servants.
On this table is the hero's spiritual tablet, a symbol of the great glory of the past. They are all members of a large family that is by no means inferior to the royal family. But now only the tablets are left, which makes people feel chilly.
The entire hall is clean, tidy and spotless. This must be the result of people coming to clean it frequently. From this small detail, it can be seen that it must be someone sent by the royal family to clean it. Otherwise, the Wu family has been exterminated or was exterminated on the grounds of treason. Who would dare to come here to clean up the Wu family.
Moreover, all the martyrs of the Wu family have spiritual tablets. If it were not established by the royal family, no one would erect a monument for the exterminated family. No matter how prestigious the Wu family is, no one would dare to do this. This must also be the work of the royal family. All signs prove that the Lu family has not judged the Wu family as treason.
Wu Zhan knelt for a while, stood up and walked out. Everyone followed him out. Wu Zhan walked straight to his own martial arts arena, which was located in the backyard of the Wu family and covered a huge area. Wu Zhan stood in the center of the martial arts arena, closed his eyes, and recalled the time when his father personally guided him in martial arts training.
His father had extremely strict requirements for him and always had a cold face. If he didn't meet his requirements, he would be beaten. At that time, he still had a lot of complaints, but now when he recalls it, it was so rare and so kind. A smile appeared on Wu Zhan's face for a while, because he recalled a warm place; and a scowl filled his face for a while, because he remembered an angry place.
No one bothered Wu Zhan, leaving him to reminisce about the past. This man has been filled with hatred since he was ten years old, and he has suppressed himself for more than twenty years. There were so many worries that needed to be vented, but he still chose to remain silent and did not utter a single complaint to express his depression. Just comfort yourself with memories. This is a real man who bears the pain silently alone.
After a long time, Wu Zhan finally opened his eyes. There is no resentment in the eyes, and they are full of energy and vitality.
"My family does not allow me to be a little decadent. People from the Wu family should stand upright."
Wu Zhan's sonorous words expressed his feelings and proved the extraordinary qualities of the Wu family. To be able to remain so calm under such great hatred is no wonder that this family has a prestige that is not inferior to that of the Emperor's family.
"Everyone, our Wu family is about to have a clear victory now, but it will never be smooth sailing. There will definitely be a fierce battle. If anyone among them is unwilling to participate, our martial arts battle will not be forced. After all, this is the private matter of my Wu family, and we still They will be comrades-in-arms. Anyone who is willing to help Wu Zhan, I would like to thank you here."
After Wu Zhan finished speaking, no one said that they would not participate. But no one gave any heroic words, but everyone's eyes expressed the same meaning. Fight for the Wu family.
The Wu family is a sacred family and a selfless family. Most of the people present when something happened to the Wu family were children. However, the heroic deeds of the Wu family are widely spread among people, and they are all familiar with the deeds of the Wu family.
And now this family that is loved so much by people is about to regain the glory that should belong to him. And being able to contribute to such a family, everyone feels that this is an extremely honorable thing.
"Okay, Wu Zhan will keep everyone's love in mind. Originally, when everyone came to my house, I should do my best to be a landlord, but now is not the right time. When the Wu family's great revenge is avenged, Wu Zhan will serve wine here and thank you all. of great help.”
"I'm back at home again. My mood is very complicated and I need to be quiet. I'm sorry, I hope you all can forgive me." After that, he turned and left.
"Xiao Yuan, help Brother Zhan settle everyone down." Wu Zhan left without looking back and said to Lu Yuanxi.
Everyone looked at Wu Zhan's leaving figure, and no one was a little unhappy because of Wu Zhan's departure. The home that has been absent for more than 20 years is back again. After returning with a huge hatred on his back, I am afraid only he himself knows what kind of emotions Wu Zhan is feeling in his heart now.
Now he needs to be alone, maybe find a secluded place, and cry. This is a proud man in a proud family, although the martial arts everyone sees is so majestic and strong.
But he is also a human being, and he also has a sad side, but he just holds on in front of everyone. But when everyone saw his lonely back when he left, they could all guess what kind of suffering Wu Zhan was suffering in his heart right now.
What a glory the Wu family was back then. No one in the big family of more than 300 people except him was spared overnight. The dead are gone too, and the living have to bear all the pain and suffering. Even a strong man like Wu Zhan would find it difficult to accept this.
Lu Yuanxi arranges everyone’s accommodation. The Wu family was not as big as the imperial palace, although there were five to six hundred people who accompanied Wu Zhan home. But living in the Wu family is more than enough. Moreover, Lu Yuanxi also sent people to buy food for everyone and deliver it to each room.
Three days passed without incident, and martial arts never appeared during these three days.
On the fourth day, news suddenly came from the palace. Ask Wu Zhan to bring people to the palace to discuss matters. Wu Zhan finally came out and selected about twenty people to follow him. There are too many people here, and we can’t all go. I just brought some people with official positions and extremely powerful cultivation. Xunfan, Leng Wushuang and Situ You were among them.
When they came to the palace hall again, the emperor was still sitting there. However, he looks much better than he did three days ago, so Xunfan's rejuvenating grass must have had an effect.
This time, unlike last time, everyone was standing. Tables and chairs were placed on the left and right sides of the hall, and wine and food were placed. There were already many people sitting there. Although there were many people, no one spoke. They all sat there quietly, obviously everyone had guessed what the central topic of today's discussion was.
After everyone in Wu Zhan took their seats, soon Lu Manxi and Journey arrived. Lu Manxi still had a devilish smile, while Cheng Cheng had a gloomy expression. He also came with twenty or thirty strong men. Behind him were three women, two of whom Xunfan knew, they were sisters Huo Feng and Huo Huang. Between them is a woman with a white veil.
Looking at the complexions of Huo Feng and Huo Feng sisters, they have strong cultivation, and the woman masked in white gauze has a strong aura emanating from her body. This woman is quite powerful.
Some important people arrived one after another, and waited until everyone was seated. The emperor took the wine glass from the guard's hand.
"Everyone, I have called you here today. I have a few words to say to you.
"The people who can be present today are generally divided into three categories: one is the descendants of the meritorious family who founded the empire with the ancestors of the Lu family; the other is the wealthy and famous families who have risen later; the third is the rising stars of the younger generation. You are all the future and hope of this continent. .The reason why the empire exists is to protect the people of this continent from living and working in peace and contentment.
"Of course, this was just the purpose before, but today there has been a sudden change. Magical cultivation has appeared on the road, and the current situation on the mainland can no longer be understood using the previous way of thinking. What the future will bring depends on rising stars like you."
"But no matter the past, present or future. As the current emperor, I have to thank you all for your selfless dedication, which has enabled the empire to have a foundation of hundreds of years. I am here to thank you all and please drink this cup." After speaking, the emperor raised his head high. Wine glasses, everyone picked up the wine in front of them and drank it all.
The emperor took a short rest and then continued: "I, a useless person, live in this world for only one thing. My brother Wu Zheng has suffered unjust injustice for more than twenty years, which I can never let go of. Now, Wu Zhan has returned, and I As an emperor, I cannot let a martial arts family with unparalleled merit be tainted by unfounded charges. And as the eldest brother, I cannot let my brother die in peace."
Everyone knows that today's banquet is about the Wu family's unjust case. After the emperor's simple opening remarks, he went directly to the topic. Everyone stared, except Lu Manxi who remained nonchalant and poured himself a drink with a strange smile on his face, as if he didn't hear the emperor's words at all.
"Over the years, I have asked Manxi and Yuan'er to investigate secretly. I believe I have also gotten some inside information about the injustice done to the Wu family back then. Manxi, Yuan'er, please tell me!"
The emperor must have had a persuasive reason for calling everyone here today. He actually assigned his two sons to be responsible for handling the affairs of the Wu family. It seems that there will be a saying today that the affairs of the Wu family will be revealed to the world today.
Lu Manxi held the wine glass in her hand and looked at the emperor with a smile. "Father, my sons and ministers are not talented. They have achieved nothing for many years." As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.
He actually said he got nothing? This is completely prevarication. No matter how secretive a thing is, no matter how long the time has passed, there can be no clues. As for the significance of his finding nothing, almost everyone thought of one thing - "Could the tragedy of the Wu family have anything to do with the eldest prince?"
The emperor didn't do anything, Lu Yuanxi suddenly jumped up. "Humph, brother, what do you mean by this? Even those people who framed the Wu family back then, no matter how rigorous they are, can't be clueless. How can you say that you have gained nothing. What on earth do you mean?" Lu Yuanxi was angry and glared. My own big brother.
This question was asked by their father, and Lu Manxi's perfunctory attitude was really irritating. Everyone's angry gazes were directed at Lu Manxi, but he still smiled and simply ignored everyone's gazes.
"The eldest brother is stupid and can't do things well. The fifth brother is smart and capable. I believe I can give everyone a satisfactory answer." Avoiding the important and choosing the light. Saying that he is not capable will completely cover up his perfunctory attitude or other meanings.
"You." Lu Yuanxi was so angry that his elder brother was speechless.
"You bastard, a ruthless guy. When Uncle Zheng was alive, he loved you very much and personally guided you in martial arts. He treated you as his own, no different from his own son. Uncle Zheng left unjustly, and you actually said Nothing was gained. Uncle Zheng has devoted all his energy and dedication to you, the entire Lu family, and even the entire empire. In exchange for you getting nothing? You are a heartless and unjust bastard." Lu Yuanxi was so angry that he cursed.
Lu Manxi didn't seem to hear Lu Yuanxi's curse, so he poured a glass of wine and tasted it slowly. As if the matter here has nothing to do with him, he treats it with a silent attitude.
Almost everyone was aroused by Lu Manxi's attitude and glared at him. The martial arts battle was particularly severe and bloodshot eyes appeared. This is a disregard for the Wu family and a disregard for feelings. Cold-blooded. If today's matter hadn't been of great importance, Wu Zhan would have had the urge to kill.
The emperor also looked at Lu Manxi resentfully. He didn't look very good either. He turned to Lu Yuanxi and said, "Yuan'er, since your elder brother found nothing. Then tell me, what exactly did you find?"
"Hmph." Lu Yuanxi snorted again.
