annihilation

Chapter 3 Together

Lu Yang has heard such sarcasm more than once. If it was before, he would turn around and leave without refuting.

But after seeing his father just now, Lu Yang got another jade medal, so he was not afraid of the two guards in front of him.

Lu Yang took out the jade token from his pocket, waved it at the two of them, and said, "Do you know this?"

The jade plaque was only the size of a palm, and it was white in color. It was obviously carved from hundreds of suet jades. The jade pendant was engraved with the word "Lu" on the front and the word "Ling" on the back.Everyone in the Lu family knows what this jade tablet represents. Even the housekeepers in the palace would not dare to be presumptuous when they see this jade tablet, because it represents Lu Zhentian, the head of the Lu family. Seeing the jade tablet is like seeing the patriarch.

Sure enough, the two guards were slightly taken aback when they saw the jade token, and one of them was surprised: "How do you have the token?"

Lu Yang put away the jade plaque and said to the two guards: "This is given to me by my father, don't give way!"

The eyes of the two guards were full of hesitation. They didn't believe Lu Yang's words, but the jade medal could not be faked. If Lu Zhentian didn't give it to him, where did Lu Yang get it from?The two guards glanced at each other, and they both saw the flinch in each other's eyes.

The guard who spoke just now clasped his fists and said: "Young Master Ninth, please don't take to heart what you offended just now, we are also doing business, and you also know that no one is allowed to enter the back mountain..."

Lu Yang was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so he interrupted them and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Master Ninth, let's go." Zhang Hu looked at the background of Lu Yang's departure, and then snorted coldly after Lu Yang walked away, "What are you proud of? If you didn't have the token, I would have taught you a lesson."

Wang Feng gave a wry smile, shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, don't take it too seriously. At one time and another, before the mother and son had no status in the family, we can make some ridicule if we want. It's different now, the jade plaque You and I know what it means. We must respect him in the future, if he holds grudges, the future of both of us will be over."

After Lu Yang left the mangosteen forest, ### walked towards the thatched cottage in front of him. It was already evening, and the sky was gradually dimming.When he came to the thatched cottage, the sun had withdrawn the last ray of light on the horizon, and blackness enveloped the world.As night fell and the lanterns came on, only the oil lamp on the westernmost side of the rows of thatched houses was lit.

On a night in late autumn, the night is sultry, and the moon and stars are rare.

The breeze blew the treetops, making a swishing sound, and everything seemed so quiet.

Lu Yang walked lightly into the cottage, in order not to alarm his mother, in order not to let her know that Lu Tao punched him, he had to change into clean clothes first.Lu Yang didn't want his mother to see his current appearance. He was afraid that his mother would worry, because his mother had reminded him more than once not to fight with the young masters of the Lu family.

Lu Yang didn't want to do this either, but some things backfired, and it didn't happen if he didn't want to.

Among these thatched cottages, one belongs to Lu Yang. The interior of the house is extremely simple, except for a dilapidated desk and a chair, there is only one bed, and the quilt on the bed is also thin.All of this explains a reason, his status in the Lu Mansion is not high.One can imagine how Lu Yang and his mother came here these years.

The night wind blows from the window and blows towards the oil lamp on the desk. The wick sways gently in the wind, and it seems that it will be extinguished at any moment.

Just then, with a creak, the door of the room opened, and a woman walked in.

The woman's clothes are also ordinary, no different from the clothes worn by the servants, and even some patches are sewn on.

Lu Yang was afraid that his mother would find him back, so the room was not lit. Seeing the door being pushed open at this moment, he subconsciously turned around to look.When he saw the other person's appearance clearly through the moonlight shining in from the window, he was slightly taken aback, then walked over quickly and said, "Mother, why are you here?"

This woman is none other than Lu Yang's mother - Su Rui.

Su Rui's face was serious, as if she had something on her mind, she didn't answer Lu Yang's words, her eyes swept over Lu Yang.The next moment, Su Rui saw the mottled blood on Lu Yang's chest, his face sank slightly, and asked, "Have you forgotten what mother said? Why did you go out to fight with others again?"

"I, I didn't..." Lu Yang was afraid of his mother's scolding since he was a child, so he quickly lowered his head.

Su Rui's face became even uglier, and he suddenly yelled, "Kneel down for me."

Lu Yang hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and said in a low voice, "Mother, please believe me, I really didn't fight with them."

Hearing this, Su Rui's face softened a little. She still believed her son's words, so she asked, "Since you said you didn't go to fight, let me ask you, where did the blood on the clothes on your chest come from?"

Lu Yang had never lied before, and he would never lie. He told the whole story, "Mother, that's the way it is. I won't give them another chance to act."

Su Rui glanced at his son with all his thoughts, and asked again: "Answer me truthfully, why do you want to peek at them practicing physical skills? Don't you know that under normal circumstances, bastards do not have the right to practice physical skills? Or You didn't take my words to heart at all, and didn't listen to me?"

"Mother, the child never disobeyed mother's words, it's just, just..." Lu Yang moved his mouth a few times, but he didn't know how to say the next words.

Su Rui became even more angry, and said, "Just what? If you don't tell me why, just kneel down for me, and get up when you figure it out."

Lu Yang looked up at his mother, and when he saw his mother's face was very ugly, he knew that his mother was really angry.He is a filial child, and since he was a child, he didn't want to see his mother angry, especially when he secretly saw his mother sitting on the bedside crying, he felt very sad.At that time, he swore that he would let his mother live a happy life after obtaining the honor in the exam.

Thinking of the past, Lu Yang's eyes turned red, and he said, "Mom, I'm going to peek at them practicing physical skills. In order to become stronger in the future, I will take you out of here."

Lu Yang's voice was not loud, but resolute, and his eyes shone with determination.

Su Rui was slightly taken aback, obviously he didn't expect his son to say such a thing, he felt warm and said, "What did you hear?"

Lu Yang nodded, and said, "Mother, I asked Uncle Zhang some time ago, and he told me that even if I get the honor, I may not be able to take you out of here in the future. The rules in Lu's mansion are strict, and the Western Chu Kingdom It is also a place where force is respected, if you want to take you out of the Lu residence, you must improve your own strength..."

A boy in his teens has done so much in private in order to let his mother leave the Lu Mansion, anyone would be moved.

Su Rui was also moved, she sighed and said, "Get up!"

Lu Yang didn't get up, but said stubbornly: "Mother, the child made you angry today, and you should be punished. Let the child kneel for a while longer!"

Su Rui's eyes were full of relief, and he thought of something immediately, and said with a wry smile: "Lu Yang, your idea is correct, and that Uncle Zhang is right, but how difficult it is to do, do you understand in your heart? If You may still have a glimmer of hope for your aboveboard cultivation of physical skills, but if you secretly learn it like this, once you are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."

Speaking of this, Su Rui paused for a moment, then changed the topic: "Silly boy, mother doesn't care about these things, and she never thought that she could leave Lu's house in the future, as long as you are by her side is enough."

Although Su Rui said so, Lu Yang saw a little sadness in his mother's eyes.

Lu Yang didn't know the details of the big family, and he didn't understand the intrigues in the world of adults. After all, he was a child, a very innocent child.Lu Yang looked at things, but still used his own thinking to understand, and couldn't help asking: "Mother, there is something unclear about my son, I hope mother can explain it to me."

Su Rui nodded, pulled up Lu Yang who was kneeling on the ground, pointed to the bed not far away, and said, "Sit down first..." Then, he went to the table and lit the oil lamp.

If Lu Yang wanted to ask, he wanted to ask when he was very young, "Mother, we are all from the Lu family, why do those brothers look down on me?"

"The same people from the Lu family?" Su Rui sneered and mocked, "You treat them as relatives, but they don't treat you as a member of the Lu family, do you understand?"

"Why?" Lu Yang looked at his mother, and finally made a childish and puzzled voice.

Su Rui didn't explain, and she didn't want her son to know too much, because the more he knew, the more dangerous he would be in the future.She only hopes that her son can grow up safely, because once he becomes an adult, he will not be bullied again in the future.When the concubine of the Lu family becomes an adult, he can go to a manor to manage it. As long as he doesn't meet the concubines, he can spend his life safely.

"You will know these things in the future, so don't ask any more." Su Rui changed the subject and said, "Do you still remember the survival technique I told you? Recite it again..."

Lu Yang did not recite it as usual, but asked, "Mom, we have been living here all this time, what do you teach me survival skills?"

Su Rui gave him a look of not thinking too much, and said: "Do you still remember what my mother said to me? The place we live in is not dangerous, but no one can guarantee that we will not go to a strange place in the future. If a person If you don’t have the ability to survive, how can you better protect yourself? When you grow up, you can go to the manor to manage it. I hope you can learn more survival skills.”

"No, even if the child leaves the Lu residence, he must leave with his mother." Lu Yang said in a calm voice.

"Silly boy, it's impossible for mother to leave with you." Su Rui pampered Lu Yang's forehead, her eyes suddenly froze, she stared at Lu Yang's chest, and said in a deep voice, "Have you met him? "

"Him?" Lu Yang's immature face was full of puzzlement. He followed his mother's line of sight and saw a red line protruding from the inside of the clothes on his chest.The red thread was tied with the jade pendant. No matter how stupid Lu Yang was, he knew who the mother was talking about, so he nodded and said, "Mom, I saw my father today..."

Su Rui stood up abruptly, stared at Lu Yang, and said word by word: "Let me ask you, since you saw him, why didn't you tell mother as soon as you came back?"
