"Still calling you General Lu? Is it time to change your title?"
Dong Lingjiu was startled, but he immediately reacted. He chuckled and stepped forward to pick up the tea from the table and handed it to Lu Yihai respectfully.
"Uncle, please have some tea."
He is powerful, he has military power, he is good at strategizing and planning, but in front of Xia Tan'er's family, he is willing to be a lowly person and give him the respect he deserves, just because Lu Yihai is Xia Tan'er's uncle. It's that simple.
"Eh!"
Lu Yihai responded happily and took the tea with a satisfied look on his face and took a sip. If the Nine Emperors Uncle could one day call him uncle, his life would not be in vain.
Of course, this move also means that Lu Yihai admits that Dong Ling will be a member of the Lu family from now on. Since he is a family member, he will naturally support him fully.
"Tell me, is there anything I need uncle to help me with?"
For Dong Lingjiu, who has long since lost his parents, the title of uncle is a bit new, but he calls it quite smoothly.
"Is your uncle really interested in cultivating Tan'er to become the head of the Lu family in the future?"
"Intentionally or not, we have to see whether Tan'er has the ability to take on this important task. Ling Feng's master lacks courage in his actions. Among the descendants, only Tan'er is not only Yimo's biological daughter, but also has the courage to stand up to me. , The head of the Lu family doesn’t want anyone without courage or plan.”
Dong Lingjiu already understood the meaning. It was still the same sentence that Xia Tan'er had to pass the test before she could succeed as the head of the Lu family.
"Second question, when will uncle return to the army?"
"Why are you so eagerly waiting for me to leave?"
Lu Yihai glanced at Dong Lingjiu with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
To be honest, Dongling Jiu's city was even better than him. Being able to save his life after the emperor ascended the throne at a young age showed that his thoughts were extraordinary.
"I have received news that when he came to invade during the Kyushu Festival, Tan'er's mother happened to be poisoned before the Kyushu Festival. I didn't realize that there was something strange."
"You mean there is someone in the palace who is collaborating with the enemy?"
"That's exactly what I mean. I was ordered to take charge of the Kyushu Grand Conference but I am really incapable of doing all the work. I, the lieutenant general of the court, can't believe it. Only my uncle, who is loyal and courageous and a member of the Lu family, will definitely not betray Dongling."
Lu Yihai was silent. He raised his eyes and glanced at Dong Lingjiu.
"With internal and external troubles, wouldn't it be a good time for you to ascend the throne and become the emperor? Does the Nine Emperors Uncle really not want to be the Nine-Five Supreme?"
"I have no intention of taking the Dongling throne, and Dongling cannot be in chaos at the moment. If I want to grant Tan'er the throne, it is natural that the Lord of the Nine Provinces is worthy of Tan'er's status."
Dong Ling Jiu's arrogance was not exaggerated in Lu Yihai's opinion. He did have this ability and was the most suitable candidate. However, he did not expect that Dong Ling Jiu would be so frank with him and set such a big goal in such a small way. He said it in the study room.
But then he thought about it, why should he hide it when he was a family? Frankly confessing now would definitely bring more benefits in the future, not to mention that doing so would save him a huge enemy.
If there is another dispute between the four countries, all the aristocratic families will definitely take action. Dong Lingjiu has been wooing the Lu family from the beginning. No wonder he dares to openly admit his identity in front of him.
"That's good. I agree with you. I will leave after Tan'er's two competitions are over."
"Thank you uncle."
"As an uncle, I would like to remind you that in the future you will come to the Lu Mansion openly and covertly so that the people below will laugh at you."
