low-key is king

Chapter 126
"rebel?"

Hearing Lu Mingyang's words, a look of disbelief appeared on Lu Xun's face, and he said, "Hmph, if you say that the rebellion is also the rebellion of his Yan family, I suppressed the East Prince's Mansion, but it's all about pulling out chaos anyway!"

"Father, you have to know that the uncle has been controlled by Yan Chaolu now, and the woman is coercing the emperor to make the princes, and she wants to replace me, the Lu family. As the Zhendong King of Xuanyang Kingdom, you think you can stay out of it ?"

Lu Xun's next words moved Lu Mingyang a little. What flows in his body is the authentic blood of the Lu family, and he will never allow the foundation of his ancestors to fall into the hands of a foreign relative.

"What's more, when the day comes, Uncle's life is of course in danger, and my Zhendong Prince's Mansion will definitely be a thorn in Yan's side, and it's still impossible to be alone!"

Lu Xun talked eloquently, his face became more and more dignified, and he continued: "Since you have to resist sooner or later, it's better to plan early, so you don't have to be caught off guard by them!"

"My lord, Xun'er is right, we are saving the Lu family, how can we call it rebellion?"

The concubine Zhao Lijing on the side was actually persuaded by Lu Xun a long time ago, or Yan Chaolu's two assassinations made her hate that woman so much that she didn't have much hesitation at all.

"Okay, as the East King of Xuanyang Kingdom, this king will never let the Xuanyang Kingdom change their surname!"

Lu Mingyang is not really a sloppy person, just now he just thought that the capital of the country is the orthodox, and if he raises troops, his reputation will not be right.

But if it becomes the orthodoxy of maintaining Xuanyang's national surname, it will be justified. Now it seems that being demoted to this remote Watanabe City is not a good thing at first.

Otherwise, if the Zhendong Palace has been in the capital for a year, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape the control of the Queen Yan, and it may collapse completely before Lu Xun returns.

"Hehe, it's all about being prepared. After all, the empress is very cautious in her actions, so that no one can catch her. Now we have no reason to raise an army!"

Seeing a ferocious aura emanating from his father, Lu Xun turned his smile again. The two assassinations of the Hidden Assassination Society cannot be said to be instigated by the empress, they have no evidence.

"Lu Xun, you don't need to worry about this matter. It's the right thing to practice with peace of mind and break through to the four realms as soon as possible. I will manage Watanabe City as a monolith. Don't forget what your father used to do!"

Lu Mingyang waved his hand, his words were quite domineering, and the smile on Lu Xun's face couldn't help but get a bit thicker.

The king of a hundred battles has finally returned.

"Of course I won't worry about my father's ability, but there is something that needs to be done in advance!"

Lu Xun interjected a compliment, and then said: "My grandfather should still be an official in the court, right? And Concubine Xu's family has to make arrangements early. When the time comes to fight together, I'm afraid the empress will not Show mercy!"

As soon as the words came out, the face of the princess changed instantly. Their Xu family is a big family in Xuanyang Kingdom, and her father is still active in the court of Xuanyang Kingdom even though he is over 70 years old.

The Xu family, where the side concubine Xu Fengyi lives, has always been in the same spirit as the Zhao family. It is above the court of Xuanyang Kingdom today, and there are few real power figures who support the Zhendong Palace.

As Lu Xun said, if there is a real war, it would be fine if the Zhendong Palace is far away in Watanabe City, but the Zhao and Xu families who are still in the capital will definitely bear the brunt.

"Don't worry, I still have some old disciples in the court, so I will write a book to tell the old Zhao and Xu that they are very powerful. I think they should be able to understand it!"

Lu Mingyang naturally attaches great importance to this matter, those two are his father-in-law, they are also highly respected in Xuanyang country, he can't ignore them whether they are public or private.

"Lu Xun!"

Seeing Lu Xun nod his head and turn around and walk towards the outside, Lu Mingyang suddenly yelled, and only after the former turned his head, he said softly: "You should be more careful yourself, you don't have to work too hard with your father around!"

"Don't worry, I have a measure!"

Naturally, Lu Xun knew what Lu Mingyang was referring to, or he referred to too many aspects, such as when accepting the assassin mission, or practicing so hard.

Lu Mingyang knew that Lu Xun had never given up the idea of ​​seeking revenge from the Luoyoushan saintess, but no matter how strong his second son's cultivation talent was, he still couldn't convince himself that he could surpass the Luoyoushan saintess.

But what Lu Xun showed when he came back this time made it impossible for Lu Mingyang to hit and scold whenever he wanted to like he did when he was a child. The second son's disposition has already become extremely tough.

Even in some respects, he was more thoughtful than Lu Mingyang himself.

Take today's incident as an example, if it weren't for Lu Xun's rhetoric, Lu Mingyang might not be able to make up his mind to resist Queen Yan Chaolu.

It can also be seen from this point that Lu Xun's vision is farther-sighted than Lu Mingyang, the so-called East King of Xuanyang Kingdom.

People without long-term considerations must have short-term worries. Lu Mingyang also believed that after today's battle, it was impossible to hide his own strength any longer.

The empress who is far away in the capital will definitely get the news soon.

…………

County city, Hongshan City!

The administrative level division of Xuanyang Kingdom is based on the model of prefectures, counties and counties, and a small border town like Watanabe Castle is at the level of a small county.

However, Hongshan City is the administrative center of the county in charge of the surrounding counties. Watanabe City is within the jurisdiction of Hongshan City. The city lord of Hongshan City is also the immediate boss of the city lord of Watanabe City.

Generally speaking, the city lord of the county city is a martial artist who has reached the level of the first five realms, but the city lord of Hongshan City is a bit special, and only has the cultivation base of the four realms.

And there is only one reason for being able to serve as the city lord of a county city with the cultivation base of a perfect martial artist in the four realms, and that is because the surname of the city lord of Hongshan City is Yan, the Yan of the Yan family.

In a guest hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the three figures were a little restless. They drank one cup after another of the tea on the table, but they still felt a little thirsty.

If there were people from Watanabe City here, they would recognize these three, they were the father and son of the former city lord of Watanabe City, Yang's father and son, plus a fourth-grade poison master, Master Huaguang.

On that day, Yang Xun took Yang He and Master Huaguang, seeing that Watanabe City was in a desperate situation and unable to recover, he abandoned the city and fled in line with the principle of keeping the green hills alive without fear of no firewood.

It's not that Yang Xun didn't know how many people would despise him for abandoning the city and fleeing, but when his life was at stake, he naturally focused on saving his own life first, so how could he care about other things?

Running wildly all the way, Yang Xun didn't know the situation of Watanabe City at all. After they escaped, it had changed greatly, and it was even more impossible to know that Watanabe City could turn defeat into victory.

Therefore, in their hearts, they always thought that Watanabe City was already bleeding into rivers, so he had to inform the city lord Yan Qingxi of this matter earlier, so that he could redeem himself a little bit.

But it has been a day and a night since they arrived at Hongshan City, the city lord never showed up, he just sent someone to bring them here, and offered them good tea and water, but made them feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.

"Father, do you think City Lord Yan will punish us?"

Yang He had long since lost the endless arrogance of being the young city lord in Watanabe City. A look of worry appeared on his face, and he couldn't help asking, but it only attracted a sneer from Master Huaguang next to him.

"The Sea Clan attacked Watanabe City, and I'm afraid they will soon attack Hongshan City. City Lord Yan is not a five-level martial artist. On this occasion, even if he is dissatisfied, he should show some sympathy!"

Yang Xun was not that worried, perhaps this was the real reason why he chose to come to Hongshan City. Before the great enemy of the Sea Clan, two strong men from the four realms were a rare combat force.

Master Huaguang next to him also thought the same way. He is a fourth-grade poison master, and his role is greater than that of the four-level martial artist Yang Xun. When the time comes, what if he directly joins Hongshan City?
A poison master like Master Huaguang has no loyalty at all. When he was in Watanabe Castle, he could rely on Yang Xun to eat and drink, so he didn't have any objection.

But now the situation is completely different. Yang Xun, the lord of Watanabe City, fled the city in desperation. I am afraid that he will never be the lord of the city again. Why should he hang himself on this tree?

When Yang Xun came to this Hongshan City, Master Huaguang came to find another owner.

And he also knew that Yan Qingxi, the lord of Hongshan City, seemed to have a good relationship with the empress of Xuanyang Kingdom, which was much better than Yang Xun.

"But we've been here for so long, why hasn't he shown himself?"

Yang He was still worried, and complained to the lord of Hongshan City, but as soon as he said this, he saw his father's expression change slightly, and immediately fell silent.

"Hehe, it's really neglectful to make Young Master Yang wait for a long night!"

A light laugh came in from the door, containing a sarcasm that was not concealed too much, and then a figure flashed, and the three people in the hall knew who it was.

"I've seen City Lord Yan!"

This time Yang Xun and Master Huaguang didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, they stood up and saluted that person.

As for Yang He, his face was pale, and he wondered why his luck was so bad.

This city lord Yan didn't come early or late, but he appeared when he was complaining, it seemed like it was intentional.

The person who came was Yan Qingxi, the city lord of Hongshan City. Don't look at the warm smile on his face, but from the corner of Yang He's eyes, he clearly saw a trace of coldness under that smile.

Therefore, Yang He knew that what the other party said just now was by no means sincere, but ironic. The city lord of the majestic county called him young city lord. Isn't that mocking?
It's just that the words have already been spoken, so Yang He can only keep his head down and say nothing. Now he is no longer the glorious young master of Watanabe Castle.

People are under the eaves, let's be human with tail between our legs!
