"The Marquis is indeed a person that people want to win over and want to disappear immediately. It's no wonder that Brother Huang is so anxious."
Compared to the fourth prince, the fifth prince is much calmer.
The throne is out of reach for him, and his threat is naturally the least among all.
But to say he is innocent, that is not necessarily the case.
"Your Highness, something happened to the young Marquis today. I'm afraid I have to go back first."
Lu Yuntian said.
The fifth prince waved his hand and said casually:
"Brother Lu, go back. We'll get together some other time."
After he finished speaking, Lu Yuntian and his men left quickly. Not far away, a group of people arrived. It must have been Lord Lu.
The fifth prince looked at Lu Yuntian's back with some pity.
The attendants had been following him for a long time, and then they spoke in confusion.
"Your Highness, why do you think so of Mr. Lu?"
Lu Yuntian is a today's hero and the eldest son of the Marquis. His Highness seems to be pitying him.
The fifth prince glanced at him, but he had the leisure to answer it.
"Didn't you realize that Lu Yuntian has always called Lu Qingfeng Lord Hou? To say that Brother Lu, I am really a pitiful person. My parents are dead. Even if I am adopted by Lord Hou, I will probably only become a poor man in the end. piece."
Coupled with Lu Yuntian's talent, it really put the Hou Mansion at the forefront.
The attendant understood and suddenly felt that this was the case.
But even if Lu Yuntian is a pawn, it is definitely a good thing for their Highnesses. Winning over a genius is not better than winning over the out-of-reach Marquis?
Seeing that Lu Yuntian had joined Mr. Hou over there, they were getting in the way, so he left.
…
It was already the next day when Lu Feng woke up.
He got up from the soft bed and stretched. When he turned his head, he saw his father standing beside his bed. He was so frightened that he jumped out and grabbed the pillar beside the bed.
"Dad?! Why are you here?"
"By the way, I fell into the water? Oh, that's not right. How did I get up? Didn't I almost drown?"
As he spoke, Lu Feng looked around in horror as he touched his body, checking whether he was missing any arms or legs.
Seeing Lu Feng's frightened look, Lu Qingfeng's face darkened.
A slap fell on the solid wood table.
boom!
Lu Feng once again displayed his perfect acting skills. He immediately stopped moving and hugged the pillar, looking at his father with fear in his eyes.
"Tell me, what happened last night! If you don't tell me clearly, you will be whipped in the yard today!"
I have to say that his father's voice was really loud, almost deafening him.
Lu Feng, whose acting skills were excellent, swallowed and said what he had planned yesterday.
After he finished speaking, his father looked at him like he was looking at a fool. Lu Feng had no doubt that if his eyes wandered any further, his father would definitely hit him!
"You said, someone saved you? Or was he standing on the lake in the air? Do you think he is an immortal?!"
"That's nonsense!"
Lu Qingfeng has lived for more than forty years, but he still doesn't know whether immortals exist?
Everyone longs to become an immortal, but this is just a rumor, and the peak of martial arts can only extend life to two hundred years.
If there really are immortals, why are they in Fengling Continent limited to two hundred birthdays? !
Lu Feng knew that his father didn't believe it, so there was a reason!
He pretended to be scared and sneaked closer to his father.
"Dad, I swear what I said is true. There are really people standing on the lake. It's not a trick. And... there seems to be something at the bottom of the lake. It's so big and scary."
Whether it was Lu Feng's strong convincing tone or something else, Lu Qingfeng was slightly shaken.
"Then tell me, what is that thing at the bottom of the lake? And what does that immortal look like?"
Lu Qingfeng looked at his unfulfilled son with an expression that did not let him go at all.
"Uh, ah, I passed out before I could see clearly."
Lu Feng scratched his head in embarrassment.
Lu Qingfeng had seen this unsatisfactory look more than once, and immediately snorted, but he did not press Lu Feng about what happened next.
Lu Feng felt that his elder brother should have said it. Seeing that his father was not so angry anymore, he coughed twice and sat on the chair.
I was afraid of being beaten just now, otherwise I would have sat down long ago.
"Dad, I heard that my eldest brother and the fifth prince were together yesterday. What happened? Does my eldest brother like the fifth prince? Then should I go and fawn over him?"
The Fifth Prince has a good reputation, but Lu Feng doesn't know the details, so it's hard to say.
If there is nothing else, Lu Feng is just afraid that the people who attack him are among these princes, so wouldn't he be in trouble day and night?
This is not okay.
In the past, if Lu Feng asked these questions, Lu Qingfeng would not tell him a word, but what happened yesterday still made him a little worried.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Qingfeng told Lu Feng what Emperor Wu had said.
"Your eldest brother will probably start to take sides in the future. If you can, follow your eldest brother's lead. Don't be as pushy as before and go out fooling around."
The princes are about to come of age and it is time to really start to get in touch with martial arts. What happens next is Lu Yuntian's own choice.
"What's wrong with this? I'll just stay in the Marquis' Mansion when the time comes."
Lu Feng had originally planned to stay quiet and avoid causing trouble when he became an adult. His father's words seemed to suit his wishes, so Lu Feng began to cross his legs.
By the way, start eating the pastries on the table.
It's early in the morning and everyone is hungry.
Finally, his father Youyou said:
"When did I tell you to be a waste in the Marquis Mansion?"
These words were said in an understatement, but when they fell into Lu Feng's ears, they were like thunder, and he almost choked on the water in his throat.
After he recovered, he looked at his father with wide eyes:
"No dad, if I don't stay in the Marquis Mansion honestly, where will I go?"
In Lu Feng's opinion, the Hou Mansion should be a relatively safe place, and he didn't want to go to an unfamiliar place.
"Martial Arts Academy."
Lu Qingfeng said three words casually, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
Hmm? It tastes good.
Then he looked at the teacup in his hand in surprise. Why did this teacup look so familiar? And this tea always feels like I’ve seen it somewhere before?
Lu Qingfeng looked at the teacup and tea thoughtfully. Looking at him like this, Lu Feng suddenly remembered that the tea in his room was the Taoist tea given by Emperor Wu two days ago. At that moment, he felt that the wound on his back that had not yet healed began to hurt. .
"Martial Academy, hahahaha, what a great place. Hahaha. I really want to go. It's not fun to stay at home. I will definitely follow my brother closely."
"Well, it's getting late. Dad, why don't you go see your elder brother? My son won't keep you, hahaha."
He immediately decided to agree to this request that he really didn't want to agree to, and at the same time took the tea from Lu Qingfeng's hand pretending to be casual.
At the same time, he helped the person up, as if he were serving his ancestors.
Lu Qingfeng, who had not been helped by his son before, felt baffled. Although he felt it was a bit strange to be supported by someone, he still stood up along with his son who had finally become "sensible".
When he walked out of the room, he still wanted to give a few words of advice.
"Wait until you go to the martial arts academy and practice martial arts hard, otherwise... forget it, you will know after you go there."
Lu Qingfeng thought of some things that were not worth remembering halfway through, but stopped in the second half and smiled at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng: Have you ever seen a tough guy fake a smile? I have seen!
Dad, if you really don’t want to laugh, you don’t have to laugh.
After leaving his son's yard, the gentleness on Lu Qingfeng's face disappeared. The soldiers wearing armor standing upright at the gate of the yard bowed their heads respectfully and handed him over when they saw him.
"Master Marquis, the eldest son has been punished. Do you want to go and see for yourself?"
Also knows how to be punished.
Lu Qingfeng's expression was cold. He was clearly the adopted son Lu Yuntian, but he didn't seem to care about this "genius" adopted son.
"Go and have a look."
The soldiers immediately followed Lu Qingfeng and walked to the most secret place in the Hou Mansion.
