low-key is king

Chapter 100
In Xuanyang Kingdom, the Lu family is naturally the most respected, but the other big families cannot be ignored.

For example, the Yan family from which the queen came, or the Zhao family and Xu family mentioned by Lu Mingshan. If these families date back hundreds of years, they are all the founding heroes of Xuanyang Kingdom.

Strictly speaking, the two old men that Lu Mingshan was thinking of were his elders, so he got involved in the previous two incidents like mud, and didn't hurt anyone's face.

Naturally, Lu Mingshan could understand the feelings of the Zhao and Xu families. In fact, he himself felt a little guilty about that decision. After all, Lu Mingyang, King of Zhendong, was his younger brother.

If it wasn't for being afraid of the saintess of Luoyou Mountain, why would Lu Mingshan demote King Zhendong from the capital?

The real intention was to keep the Zhendong Palace out of the limelight, which could be regarded as an attitude of the Xuanyang Royal Family towards Luo Youshan.

It's just that what Lu Mingshan didn't know was that the Saintess of Luoyou Mountain only valued the so-called Primordial Divine Blood. As for the Zhendong Prince's Mansion in a small Xuanyang Kingdom, whether it is destroyed or not, what's the big deal?

This is the attitude of a strong man on the top of the mountain looking down on the ants.

In the face of ants, giant elephants can turn a blind eye, or even dismiss them, but ants can't, any movement of giant elephants, even a breath, has a huge impact on them.

Therefore, when Lu Mingshan thought about it, he thought that there was something going on between these two families, and this nonsense over and over again made him feel resentful.

This Xuanyang country, whose Xuanyang country is it?

"These two families are a little tricky, but the concubine can handle it!"

Hearing Lu Mingshan mention Zhao and Xu's family, a gleam flashed in the depths of Yan Chaolu's eyes, but when it reached his face, it turned into a smile, a rather forced smile.

In Lu Mingshan's eyes, he thought that the queen had been wronged in front of Xu and Zhao's family, but she was reluctant to say more in order to take care of her own emotions, which moved him quite a bit.

"There is another matter. I can't make up my mind. I want to ask His Majesty to make a decision!"

Yan Chaolu was hesitant to speak, and the forced smile on his face turned into a look of embarrassment, as if this matter was difficult to talk about, but he had no choice but to ask His Majesty the Monarch for advice.

"Chaolu, tell me!"

Lu Mingshan supported the edge of the bed and straightened his body. He couldn't think of anything other than Xu and Zhao's family in Xuanyang Kingdom today, which would embarrass this empress.

"It's about Zhendong King!"

But Yan Chaolu's next words made Lu Mingshan tremble slightly.

In his heart, he felt ashamed of that brother, and only hoped that everything would go smoothly in the future, but he didn't expect that trouble would come after all.

"Could it be that Luoyou Mountain Saintess is still relentless?"

Lu Mingshan first thought of a possibility, and his already pale face turned pale again.

He can think of other things, but there is nothing he can do about the huge mountain, Xianmen Luoyou Mountain.

"It's not!"

Yan Chaolu intentionally made a fool of herself, and after pondering for a moment, she finally said: "According to the secret report from the Watanabe City Lord's Mansion, the Zhendong Prince's Mansion has always harbored resentment, and may...maybe colluding with the Sea Clan and using the power of the Sea Clan to try to restore Back to the glory days!"

When the empress mentioned the four words "glory of the past", there was actually one more sentence that she didn't say, and that was the sentence that was circulated back then, "The monarch and the king of Zhendong sit together in the world".

"What did you say?!"

Lu Mingshan was so startled that he almost jumped up. His eyes flashed with an extremely incredible light. In fact, he heard it very clearly, but he just needed to confirm it.

"Your Majesty, don't get too excited. This matter... is just a rumor for the time being, and there is no real evidence. Maybe... it's just a rumor?"

Seeing Lu Mingshan like this, Yan Chaolu knew that the time had come. She really didn't have any evidence that the Zhendong Palace colluded with the Hai Clan, and she just came to give the monarch Lu Mingshan a vaccination.

"Yes, yes, it must be a rumor. How could the second brother collude with the Sea Clan? That is a serious crime of betraying the entire human race. He must not do that!"

Lu Mingshan has been completely mobilized by the empress, and now he follows the other party's thinking all the way.

And even as a monarch, deep in his heart, a touch of fear involuntarily rose up, but he just didn't want to think about it.

"Your Majesty, if... I mean, if, if the Zhendong Prince's Mansion really colluded with the Hai Clan, what would you do?"

But Yan Chaolu didn't want to let go of this opportunity, and directly put bloody facts on the table that Lu Mingshan didn't dare to face, so that his face was no longer bloody.

"How? How?"

Lu Mingshan murmured, this serious illness seemed to have exhausted his majesty in ruling Xuanyang Kingdom for many years, and he couldn't answer this question at all for a while, he just kept repeating these three words.

"Your Majesty cares about brotherhood, and my concubine can understand, but colluding with the Hai Clan... Sigh, my Xuanyang has cheated the country for hundreds of years, Your Majesty should think about it!"

Yan Chaolu was very measured in controlling people's hearts. At this time, she was not aggressive. If Lu Mingshan really wanted to come up with an answer, it seemed that she was thinking about the brotherhood of the other party.

But the last sentence, plus a sigh, was like a big hammer hitting Lu Mingshan's chest, causing his body to shake, and he fell limply on the bed.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you? Come, please Mr. Bai!"

Yan Chaolu's face showed worry, he exclaimed, followed by a loud shout.

Naturally, there was another panic outside, but no one saw the smug expression in the empress's eyes.

…………

Watanabe Castle, Zhendong Prince's Mansion!

It has been several days since the six-star assassin assassinated King Zhendong that day, and during this time, Lu Xun has already regained the strength that was taken away by the big monster.

Naturally, Lu Mingyang and his wife would not gossip about what happened that day, and they also told Cao Songli Hua and others not to spread the matter to the outside world.

As for the mysterious man in black, after Lu Xun regained some strength, he had a private conversation with him, and Lu Mingyang didn't worry too much about it.

The current Zhendong King really felt that he was a little old, and he needed to rely on his son to protect him every time, which made him subconsciously raise his heart.

Therefore, during this period of time, Lu Mingyang has been using the medicinal effect of the fifth-grade Peiyuan pill to restore his strength, and strive to return to the peak early, without having to look at anyone's face.

"call……"

Living in the hall, Lu Xunchang exhaled foul breath, then moved his ears slightly, stood up and opened the door of the hall.

Sure enough, Chen Xian, the captain of the guard, stood outside, with a respectful expression on his face, without any concealment.

"Second son..."

Chen Xian was a little hesitant to speak, as if he didn't know how to phrase it, which made Boss Asha who was standing next to him impatient.

Is this guy underwhelmed?Do you want another punch?
"Tell me, what's the matter? Is the City Lord's Mansion looking for trouble for you?"

Lu Xun smiled slightly, thinking that that day with the help of Asha, Chen Xian killed Zhang Song, the commander of the city lord's mansion, with one punch. Presumably the city lord's mansion has always wanted to find a chance to get back this place.

"That's not true, it's just...the sea defense embankment is changed today, and this time it's my turn to suppress the East Prince's Mansion!"

Chen Xian smiled wryly, and then he said a few words that made Lu Xun stunned for a moment, and then he understood what was going on.

Watanabe Castle is a city near the sea, so it is naturally more dangerous than some inland cities, and the biggest danger comes from the Sea of ​​Samsara.

The harassment from the Hai Clan made the citizens of Watanabe City never feel very safe.

On the eastern periphery is a sea defense levee, which shoulders the responsibility of defending against the invasion of the sea clan. Naturally, such a long levee needs someone to defend it.

Therefore, every city near the sea has a rule set by the royal family of Xuanyang Kingdom, that is, every practitioner who is a martial artist must go to the sea defense embankment to guard for a period of time.

Even if it is a martial artist of the first realm, as long as it is a practitioner registered in the city lord's mansion, it must fulfill this obligation, and Zhendong Wangfu who was demoted to Watanabe City is naturally no exception.

In view of the strength of the strength, the time responsible for defending the embankment varies.

For those with their own private soldiers like Zhendong Wangfu, they need to change defenses for a month, which is also a manifestation of strength.

In more than a year, Zhendong Prince's Mansion has had its turn twice, and this is the third time.

The previous two times, it was Lu Dai, General of the Eastern Cavalry, who led Chen Xian and the others to guard the embankment, but there was no attack from the Sea Clan.

But this time, General Lu Dai of the Eastern Cavalry was dead, and Chen Xian, the newly promoted commander of the palace, was somewhat humble in status.

Zhendong Wangfu must send a qualified person.

However, King Zhendong had just recovered from a serious illness, and his son was insane. This task naturally fell on the head of the second son Lu Xun. This was the real reason why Chen Xian came to the door.

It has been more than two months since he came back to the palace, and Lu Xun naturally heard about it, so when Chen Xian talked about changing the defense of the embankment, he realized what he needed to do.

"I remember that it's our palace's turn next month, why is it so early?"

Lu Xun was not so easy to be fooled. After calculating the time in his mind, he asked directly, which made Chen Xian look bitter again.

Such a thing, how can he be in charge?

"The subordinates don't know what's going on, but the city lord's mansion has sent someone over to deliver an order. If the second son thinks it's inappropriate, then I will reject them!"

If it was just Chen Xian from before, naturally he would not dare to violate such rules, but now he is quite confident.

With the support of the second son, who is afraid of whom?

"No need!"

Lu Xun didn't directly say that he wanted to refuse, but when he heard that it was the arrangement of the City Lord's Mansion, he couldn't help but squinted his eyes, always feeling that there was a taste of conspiracy in it.

"The City Lord's Mansion?"
