Xicheng, Chongdefang.

"Aha……"

Lu Chen, who had just taken a nap, stretched vigorously, then got up from the bed.

As if there was a tacit understanding, there was a sound of light footsteps outside at the right time.

"Cousin, are you up?"

"Just got up."

Lu Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes, put on his shoes, and walked outside.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Luo Xiaoyu dressed in purple standing in front of the door.

"Cousin, dinner is ready."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Chen nodded, stretched out his hand habitually, and rubbed Luo Xiaoyu's little head.

Luo Xiaoyu not only didn't resist, but squinted her eyes slightly, and felt the touch of Lu Chen's palm through her hair, just like she always ran around behind Lu Chen's butt when she was a child.

The two came to the dining room together and sat opposite each other on both sides of a very ordinary dining table.

"That's right, cousin."

Just halfway through eating, Luo Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something, and said softly: "Your Majesty rewarded your cousin with the house, the house deed and land deed have been prepared, and the person who sent the contract documents said that the house has been repaired, You can move in anytime."

After a pause, a tangled look flashed in her eyes inexplicably.

"Cousin, when shall we move there?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said casually, "Then the day after tomorrow."

Hearing this, Luo Xiaoyu nodded slightly.

"okay……"

The action of grilling rice is inexplicably a bit big.

At this time, a blue butterfly flapped its wings and flew in slowly.

"What a beautiful butterfly~"

Luo Xiaoyu quickly noticed the butterfly, its eyes were slightly bright, and it even looked like it was eager to try.

Girls, most of them have no resistance to beautiful and cute things.

Lu Chen just glanced at it, then looked away and concentrated on cooking.

After dinner, Lu Chen was about to go back to his room, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Like a conditioned reflex, Luo Xiaoyu stopped tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, and then got up and walked outside quickly without waiting for Lu Chen to speak.

Looking at her petite figure, Lu Chen shrugged and swallowed the "I'll go and see" that he was about to say.

After a while, she trotted back like a hardworking bee.

"Cousin, there is a man who claims to be the head of Nanpi Gu's family and asks to see him."

Gu family?

Lu Chen thought for a while, then nodded with a clear face.

"Let him in."

"it is good."

After Luo Xiaoyu ran away again, Lu Chen straightened his clothes and walked towards the living room.

But he didn't notice that the butterfly saw him leave, so it slowly left the dining room, flew into the air, and finally landed on an inconspicuous eaves in the living room.

Not long after, Luo Xiaoyu led an elegant middle-aged man over.

The person who came was naturally Gu Yanming.

He first sized up Lu Chen for a moment, then before Lu Chen could speak, he cupped his hands at him, and said in a rather low voice, "I'm Gu Yanming, I've met Mr. Lu."

"Your Majesty is in trouble."

Lu Chen got up and saluted in return.

"The ancestors of the Gu family followed Emperor Guangwu and made great military exploits for the recovery of Great Xia. The hereditary marquis, not only did not sink in the power, but strictly governed the family tradition. Who doesn't know that there are many talents in Dingyuan Hou's mansion, full of loyalty? Now the Marquis The daughter of the Lord guarded the frontier fortresses for the imperial court, wiped out countless alien races, and kept the northwest border safe. She has made great contributions to the court, and the Gu family has made countless military exploits and made outstanding achievements. How dare I entrust myself to the Lord Hou?"

Hearing this compliment without any ambiguity, Gu Yanming's expression couldn't help but change.

He carefully looked into Lu Chen's eyes calmly, but found that there was nothing else in his eyes except respect.

After a while, he sighed secretly in his heart, and then said: "Thank you Lord Lu for your love, old man, I am ashamed."

As he said that, he walked up to Lu Chen, and said, "It's not clear whether my daughter is a loyal or a traitor. As far as I am concerned, in my opinion, the Gu family is not worthy of your respect, Mr. Lu."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes moved slightly.

He was polite first, asked Gu Yanming to sit down, and told Luo Xiaoyu to prepare some treats for guests.

After Gu Yanming sat down, Lu Chen asked in a deep voice, "Master Hou, don't you believe your daughter?"

In Gu Yanming's mind, inexplicably, the scene where Zhao Shi deliberately arranged for his daughter to meet Zhao Feifei, an idiot who only knew how to talk on paper, made Zhao Feifei fall in love with his daughter at first sight, pursue her crazily, and then force him to die after his daughter clearly refused.

In the next second, he couldn't help but sighed.

"Oh, the family is unlucky."

Hearing this, an imperceptible light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.

Unlucky family?

As the saying goes, knowing a daughter is like a father.

In that case, Gu Simiao...

"Lord Lu."

Gu Yanming suddenly looked at Lu Chen with great awe: "The old man knows that Miao'er has saved your life, and I am very grateful that you have worked so hard to save the Gu family's life, but the matter of Miao'er... the old man thinks that Master Lu should not go This trip to muddy water is wonderful."

As Gu Yanming's voice gradually fell, the light in Lu Chen's eyes became brighter.

Tsk tsk... Gu Yanming is quite a nice guy.

It's already like this, and instead of trying to protect himself by all means, he is still thinking of others.

A good person.

But when he said this, it was obvious that he was extremely pessimistic about the matter of the barren state.

It seems that Gu Simiao is against it!

The more this is the case, the more you can't back down...

At this time, Gu Yanming said again: "Lord Lu is deeply trusted by His Majesty. Even if he does nothing, he can make progress. He is so righteous, open and upright, and knowledgeable about heaven and man. He can be called a generation of heroes. There is no need to gamble your future by assisting His Majesty in creating a great cause..."

"Master Hou, don't say any more."

Before Gu Yanming finished speaking, Lu Chen suddenly interrupted in a cold voice: "I will never change my mind."

Hearing this sonorous and forceful answer, Gu Yanming was stunned for a moment.

Then he shook his head again and sighed, "Master Lu, why are you bothering..."

"My life was saved by Miss Gu."

Lu Chen stood up slowly, then walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

As he walked, he said in a deep voice: "Of course, if it's just for saving your life, at most I'll give you my life back, but before Miss Gu left, she asked me to be a good official who wholeheartedly serves the people and cares about the world. It is to repay her kindness."

Hearing this, Gu Yanming's heart trembled suddenly.

Isn't this... what he taught his daughter?
In a daze, Lu Chen's voice sounded again: "It is precisely because of Miss Gu's words that I can be unwaveringly loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Fortunately, His Majesty trusts me so much that I am here today, otherwise, I would have been lost to everyone. "

"It's so kind, it's like being recreated, so..."

The sound of heavy footsteps brought Gu Yanming back to his senses in an instant.

"No matter what, I don't believe that Miss Gu will betray the imperial court, disregard the common people in the world, and easily start a war. Even if everything is at stake, I will guarantee her."

"Even if you, the father, don't believe her, the court officials don't believe her, the whole world doesn't believe her, I will never waver."

After finishing speaking, Lu Chen walked out of the living room with a cold face.

"Xiao Yu, see off the guests!"

Looking at Lu Chen's back that was drifting away, Gu Yanming only felt a little sour in his eyes.

Daughter, you must not let down Lu Yushi's trust.
At the same time, the blue butterfly on the eaves flapped its wings lightly, soared into the air in the cool evening wind, and flew into the distance
