After hearing this, Fan Hesui's face darkened. He glanced at Lu Zuo and saw him nodding, so he replied with a hearty smile: "Fan and his father have known each other since early years. This child is pitiful. His father died a long time ago. But Lu Zuo and his son are very independent, and Fan tried to help them several times, but they all refused. Since they moved to Lujiazhuang, I have no news about them. It is also fate that I can see him this time."
Liu Xingyuan and Lu Zuo had gone through so much together this time, and had guessed a lot of things. Seeing that Fan Hesui still had no intention of speaking, it was inconvenient to continue to ask questions.
That night, Lu Zuo and the others stayed in Fan's mansion before they returned to the military camp in the suburbs after being repeatedly persuaded by Fan Hesui and his son. After dinner, everyone went back to their guest rooms. Only Liu Xingyuan could not sleep alone at night, strolling in the garden.
Liu Xingyuan looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. His family had suffered. In just one or two months, the sky had changed. Now he was promoted to Prince Ning and became the marshal of the rebel army.
"My lord, can't you sleep?"
When Liu Xingyuan looked back, he happened to be Lu Zuo. He cupped his hands and said, "Isn't it the same with Mr. Lu?"
Lu Zuo and Liu Xingyuan stood side by side in front of the court, raising their heads to look at the moon, "'The first moon is like a bow that has been strung up, clearly shining straight into the sky. It is here several times this month, and it will come here tomorrow and next year.'"
"What a poem!" Liu Xingyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Mr. Lu is deliberately motivating me! Yes, now the arrow is on the string, Liu must be shot down. In the future, we can come here to appreciate the moon and write poems."
"You two are so happy!"
"Oh? It turns out to be the princess." Liu Xingyuan said with a rare joke, "You two are staying up so late, aren't you here to comfort me, a lonely person?"
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Jing Jingruo asked Lu Zuo seriously: "Today you told my old husband that you had plans to attack the capital, but are you serious?"
Lu Zuo nodded, "I have already discussed this matter with the prince. It is not the time to talk about it now. I may need your brother's help then. Jingruo, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will naturally find a way to protect it." My father-in-law and his family are safe."
"What about Renxiang?"
Liu Xingyuan saw Lu Zuo bow his head and said nothing, so he took the opportunity to ask: "I heard that your brother betrayed you?"
Lu Zuo said earnestly: "I believe Renxiang had no choice but to do so!"
"I guess Liu Yan trusts him now!" Liu Xingyuan continued to ask, "I heard from my old husband today that you fled to Shanzhou? There are so many people in the daytime that I can't ask. Can Mr. Lu tell you honestly now?"
Lu Zuo said without thinking: "At this time, I have no intention of hiding it from you. In fact, I am Wu Qingfeng's eldest son."
"Wu Qingfeng?" Liu Xingyuan said in disbelief, "Is this the Wu Qingfeng whose family was exterminated by my grandfather because of the 'treason case'?"
Lu Zuo and An Jingruo nodded in agreement.
Liu Xingyuan was stunned, "Is it true that my father sued Li Shizhi for releasing three people from Wu Qingfeng's family? Are they the three of you, mother and son?"
Lu Zuo nodded solemnly, "Yes, Li Shizhi is really a great benefactor to our family. Without him, our Wu family might have been divorced long ago."
Liu Xingyuan suddenly realized, "I should have thought that after Li Shizhi was arrested, Liu Xingzhi congratulated you, but you remained calm and silent."
Lu Zuo said helplessly: "I think your father and the others should already know my identity by then."
"Yes, my father has suspected your identity for a long time, but he has never been able to find any evidence."
Lu Zuo smiled bitterly, "Your father has always asked me about everything, but he kept hiding this matter from me about Prime Minister Li. I guess he became suspicious of me at that time. Later, in order to bring down Prime Minister Li, he continued to send people Looking into my father’s case back then, maybe he had already figured it out at that time, but he just kept pretending to be deaf and dumb in front of me.”
"Oh, I understand." Liu Xingyuan said thoughtfully, "The reason why you are willing to follow my father is because you want him to avenge your father?"
A ray of cold light shone from Lu Zuo's stern eyes, falling on Liu Xingyuan. He didn't expect Liu Xingyuan to be able to push it up. He then smiled sadly and said, "Yes. Initially, I placed my hope on Liu Yan. , but found that he was not interested in my father's case, and even thought that my father was more than innocent, so he later targeted..."
"So your target turned to King Wei Liu Xu?"
Lu Zuo nodded, "Hey, King Wei was too impatient and was deceived by others, so he failed."
"Then why did you choose to assist my father in the end? As far as I know, my father is not interested in Wu Qingfeng's case, and the cost of reversing the case for Wu Qingfeng is too high. It is impossible for my father to do it for him. Did you avenge yourself?"
"Yes!" Lu Zuo was disappointed, and then sighed helplessly, "No one will help me, and I have no other choice. The reason why I assist your father is just because I hope that after your father ascends the throne, he can help me. I would be satisfied if I was redressed. But I didn't expect... that he would actually use this case to bring down our family's benefactor, and he didn't even discuss the matter with me."
Liu Xingyuan also shook his head helplessly, "My father always wanted to bring down the prince's gang before he was alive. With this little braid holding him, he will definitely not care about other people's thoughts, so in the end you left. , is this the main reason?"
"It's just one of them!"
"One?" Liu Xingyuan was puzzled at first, and then said suddenly, "I think your brother Lu Renxiang betrayed you, which is why you made up your mind to leave." Then Liu Xingyuan asked with some resentment, "It seems that you have actually been there for a long time. You tried to save my father, but you abandoned it and took me with you. In fact, you had already thought of the current situation and took me away just because you wanted to use me to rally the world after my father's defeat. You are resisting Liu Yan, right?"
Lu Zuo did not answer. Jing Jingruo explained at this time, "You misunderstood him. My husband-in-law expected this ending, but he also knew the old prince. It was impossible for him to believe my husband-in-law's words at that time. He originally I wanted to persuade the old prince not to kill Prime Minister Li, but finally gave up the idea, and the old prince already knew his identity. Saying such words would only make the old prince disgusted, so I chose to remain silent. As for why you didn’t persuade your father. If you take action earlier, it will actually be too late by then.”
"Why?"
Lu Zuo looked at the night sky and replied calmly, "Still my brother."
Liu Xingyuan looked at him in surprise, "How?"
"After he came back to the capital, I noticed something was wrong with him. At that time, I suspected that his wife might have got some information, maybe about my identity, maybe about Prime Minister Li. It was not until later that my junior brothers and sisters told me, When Mr. He returned to my hometown to investigate my life experience, I thought that the prince and others must already know something, and they just sent Mr. He to confirm it again. "
"So, Lu Renxiang didn't really tell them your life experience?"
