The northern frontier.
Hu family.
In the lobby, Mr. Hu held a secret letter from Jiangdong in his hand, with a look of sadness on his face.
"Father, how is the situation?"
"The Lu family, there's something going on."
Hearing what Old Man Hu said, all the descendants of the Hu family had their expressions condensed. Hu Hantu glanced at his old man instantly and said in a deep voice: "Father, this uprising in the Lu family is also a godsend for my Hu family. Good opportunity.”
"Now, the Lu family occupies the two counties of Jiangdong and Changyan. They can gather hundreds of thousands of horses with just one shout. Now, the court's border troops on all sides dare not move lightly. The Lu family's uprising at this time is tantamount to A sharp sword hangs above the crumbling Yu Dynasty."
"Our Hu family is located in the frontier, and the Lu family is standing in front of us. If we respond now, there may not be a place for my Hu family in this world!"
"that's right!"
As soon as Hu Hantu finished speaking, he immediately received support from all the Lu family members, who all looked at the old man.
"Master, Han Tu's words are not unreasonable!"
"The Lu family can cause trouble, and so can our Hu family. Besides, with the Lu family standing in front of us, my Hu family can take advantage of this to recruit troops."
"Let's get started!"
A series of majestic voices sounded, and all the Hu family members present looked a bit ready to move. Only Old Mrs. Hu looked gloomy, and the worry in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Dayu, his energy is not exhausted yet."
"This incident is tantamount to selling out and seeking death."
"The Lu family... finally took this step, but Lu Wenhan made the wrong move!"
Seeing Mr. Hu's worried expression, Hu Hantu and others looked a little puzzled and looked at him doubtfully: "Father, what do you mean?"
"Will the Lu family fail?"
"It's not failure... it's destruction!"
"Just like the Chen family and King Huai, they disappeared into thin air."
"How can this be?"
Hu Hantu looked unconvinced and said softly: "The Lu family has been ambitious for a long time. They have been planning for generations. They have piles of money and food, and they are very famous. Changyan and Beihe counties have long become their back garden."
"Now, if you call out from a high place, the heroes in the world will definitely respond."
"Why is father so sure that the Lu family will fail?"
Old Mrs. Hu shook his head. Ever since his second son had an accident in Huainan, he has been very pessimistic and worried about the unknown fate of the entire family. The funny thing is that no one has realized the situation of the Hu family?
"The Lu family intends to turn the world around and seize the destiny with their own efforts, but this Dayu has spent hundreds of years in ups and downs. What storms and waves have he not seen?"
"How do the two armies of Changyan and Beihe controlled by the Lu family compare to the sixteen states of Huainan?"
"How do the tens of thousands of fine armors hidden in the hands of the Lu family compare to King Huai's 200,000 troops?"
"But King Huai was defeated in the end, completely defeated."
"At that time, the four realms were not stable, there were still strong enemies from Da Yan, and there were barbarians from all four realms looking around. Looking back today, the four realms are stable, how can the Lu family win the world?"
"Is it possible that together with my Hu family, we can overthrow the Yu Dynasty that has lasted for more than a hundred years?"
Old Master Hu's rhetorical question made everyone realize that although the Lu family was strong, it was insignificant compared to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under King Huai's command.
Today's Dayu seems to be in a precarious situation, but powerful enemies from all directions have been waiting for hundreds of years, but they still have not entered the pass. Can this seemingly crumbling Dayu Dynasty be overthrown by just a Lu family?
"Father, the imperial court and King Yong have already taken action against the Chen family and the Lu family."
"Who knows, the next one will target our Hu family!"
"Now, my Hu family's salt shop has been banned one after another. This has simply dug up the foundation of my Hu family."
"Is it possible that we have to watch the court attack us?"
Mr. Hu let out a long sigh and stood up slowly. His slightly rickety figure was actually a little more weathered. He sighed softly: "Go, dismiss the servants, and present me with my invitation to pay my respects. I want to go to Beijing."
"What?"
As soon as Mr. Hu finished speaking, the whole hall was in an uproar, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Father?"
"What...are you going to do?"
"I, are you going to find a way out for the more than a thousand members of my Hu family?"
"Father, I don't agree!"
Hu Hantu's expression was fierce, and he said with a hint of anger: "My Hu family has accumulated wealth for generations, but now the imperial court has repeatedly suppressed my Hu family. Do we have to bow to the imperial court?"
"After a hundred years, what will we look like when we go to meet our ancestors?"
"Yes, head of the family, if the imperial court really doesn't leave us a way to survive, my Hu family is not a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by others."
"The worst thing is, rebel against him!"
Everyone looked angry, but Mr. Hu waved his hands and was about to walk out of the hall, when he suddenly saw a figure staggering in: "It's not good!"
"Hello...the master of the house, the army...the endless army as far as the eye can see!"
"What are you going to say?" Hu Hantu picked up the servant in front of him with an angry look on his face: "What kind of army, please explain clearly."
"Outside our mansion, the endless army has surrounded our Hu mansion."
As soon as he said this, Hu Hantu's eyes were empty, and his expression was full of panic. Mr. Hu was also stunned for a long time, with a haggard and bitter smile on his face: "It's too late..."
…
Changyan City.
Sheriff's Mansion.
A ray of morning light shone into the hall, and dots of light and shadow shone on the ground, gradually moving upward until they were blocked by several figures.
"coming?"
"Um!"
The blood on Li Xiuning's body was not yet dry, but when he saw Ning Fan, he showed a gentle smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, but your highness remains as charming as ever."
"Last General, please see His Highness King Yong."
"No need to be polite!"
Ning Fan stood up and looked at the generals behind Li Yong. They saw familiar faces, but he couldn't recall their names. However, the scene that happened to that man in the martial arts training ground of Duke Jingguo couldn't help but replay in his mind. .
"Thank you for your hard work."
"We've been fighting all night, let's go down and rest first!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ning Fan looked at Li Xiuning, stepped forward to remove his armor, and asked, "Are you not injured?"
"No!"
"Have the prisoners been properly placed?"
"Um!"
The two of them asked and answered questions, but gradually fell into a short silence. The atmosphere couldn't help but become extremely awkward. Their eyes met inadvertently. Ning Fan saw lovesickness in Li Xiuning's eyes. This was clearly the look on his face after not seeing his sweetheart for a long time. .
"Lord!"
A rough voice came from outside the hall, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu were seen striding into the hall, breaking the tranquility.
"Hahaha!"
"This group of boy scouts in the Lu Mansion are really inexperienced. Hu Hou and I haven't had our fill of killing yet..."
"Yeah, the princess is here too!"
