Turbulent Times Chapter 991: The last conversation between father and son

The owner of Spring and Autumn Valley nodded, without saying a word, directly sat on the groom's seat, drove the carriage, and drove Lu Youwei away at a gallop.

However, Wang Junlin looked at the county seat of Zhuo County where the Lu family's ancestral house was located in the front left, and said: "Go to the county seat of Zhuo County and wait for news!"

Pause, he sighed, and said: "The order goes down, the army is resting outside the city of Zhuo County, and I will go into the city to inspect Zhuo County."

…

…

Just when Wang Junlin entered the county seat of Zhuo County and started his inspection tour under the welcome of the county magistrate, county magistrate, county lieutenant, and Du Wei, Lu Youwei was in the Spring and Autumn Valley. Accompanied, he went in through the side door of Lu's ancestral house very smoothly and without disturbing anyone.

When Wang Junlin led people to Lu's ancestral house, Lu Bian got the news that his youngest son, Lu Youde, led three thousand private soldiers and annihilated the whole army. His expression calmed down, and then he started a series of arrangements, but unfortunately, some of his arrangements soon reached Shen Guo'er's ears.

After Lu Youwei entered the Lu family's ancestral house, he wanted to say something to the Spring and Autumn Valley Master, but when he turned his head, the Spring and Autumn Valley Master who had been behind him had disappeared at some point.

Lu Youwei's pupils narrowed slightly, and he looked around carefully for a while, but he didn't find the figure of Spring and Autumn Valley Master, so he took a deep breath and went to see Lu Bian. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Under Lu Bian's arrangement, the whole Lu family didn't know that Lu Youwei colluded with Wang Junlin and killed Lu Jianheng. Therefore, Lu Youwei is still the number two person in the Lu family today. All the way to Lu Bian's study without hindrance, he knelt down facing Lu Bian without saying a word as soon as he entered the door.

After learning of Lu Youwei's return, Lu Bian didn't seem to be too surprised. He looked at Lu Youwei who was kneeling on the ground and said, "I'm a little surprised that you came back alone. Tell my father why Wang Junlin let you go." You come back alone."

Although Lu Youwei knew that his father had only the clan in his eyes, and he did not value family affection as much as the clan, but seeing that his father did not ask about the deaths of Lu Jianheng and Lu Youde at all, he still couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.

"Father, Wang Junlin actually doesn't want to destroy our Lu family. He actually has his own ambitions. He only follows His Majesty's wishes when dealing with Lu family." Lu Youwei took a deep breath and said.

Lu Bian looked deeply into Lu Youwei's eyes, trying to see from his son's eyes the truest thoughts deep in his heart. After a while, he said calmly, "What does Wang Junlin want?"

Lu Youwei immediately said: "Wang Junlin wants us, Mrs. Lu, to be his arm."

Lu Bian suddenly became very angry, squinted his eyes and said: "Wang Junlin is nothing, even if it is the emperor, we Lu may not be willing to be his arm, who does he think he is, depending on what you mean, is it true?" Want to humiliate our Lu family like this?"

Lu Youwei knew that his father had always been the proudest person in the world. From his father's point of view, only two or three of the seven clans and five surnames in the world, like their Lu family, had thousands of years of inheritance. Compared with them, even the royal family is looked down upon by them. And poisonous husbands like Wang Junlin, who came out of nowhere, were actually better than those officials from poor families in my father's heart.

So Lu Youwei knew what his father meant, and whispered back: "But now that we are under the roof, we have to bow our heads! Isn't father also planning to fake his death?"

Sovereign Lu looked at his son coldly and disgustedly, wondering why he gave birth to such a son.

"You can die, I can die, and even your brother can die, but the Lu family's millennium inheritance must never be ruined, and you must never become a puppet in the hands of others." .

Lu Youwei took a look at his father's wrinkled face, with a filial smile on his face, and replied: "Father taught me a lesson."

Pause for a moment, and then said: "It's just that Wang Junlin and the five thousand sailors will come soon." Lu Youwei glanced at his elderly father, and continued to say in harmony: "Look... how to deal with this? "

The patriarch of the Lu family gave Lu Youwei a cold look, and knew what he was thinking, that he wanted to bow his head, express his surrender to Wang Junlin, and then let himself really fake his death, or even die for real.

Sovereign Lu snorted coldly: "I was not sure before, but now I can be sure. Wang Junlin will never risk offending all the powerful and nobles in the world to wipe out our Lu family."

"But father, Wang Junlin cannot be judged by common sense." Lu Youwei said with a blank face, but a sneer flashed in his heart.

Father looked down on Wang Junlin's bloodline, but after he got in touch with Wang Junlin, he vaguely felt that in Wang Junlin's eyes, a thousand-year-old family like the Lu family was like a bug, or even a parasite.

The patriarch of the Lu family slowly closed his eyes and said, "Don't worry! If Wang Junlin dares to lead an army to surround our Lu family's ancestral house, news of my death will spread. The Lu family town has 30,000 people, and then Zhuo County, and even There will be some chaos in Fanyang County. Wang Junlin will withdraw his troops to prevent chaos in Fanyang County. At that time, the news of my death will reach the ears of the Luoyang Emperor. It can be regarded as Wang Junlin’s confession to the emperor. Continue to exist proudly”

Speaking of this, Lu Bian suddenly frowned and said, "I'm not hiding it from you. I originally made your younger brother Youde the suzerain. Now that he's dead, it stands to reason that with your ability and prestige It is more appropriate, but if you become the suzerain, you may become Wang Junlin's puppet."

Lu Youwei's heart skipped a beat, and thinking about how his father sent him to Rongcheng County yesterday as a bait, and where he almost died there, he couldn't help feeling a bit of hatred in his heart.

Sect Master Lu thought about it for a while, and felt a little tired. With his gray hair and furrowed face, he looked so old.

Lu Bian said with a murderous look on his face: "This matter is settled like this. I have one last arrangement. If Wang Junlin dies, I will still fake my death in order to give the emperor an explanation. Then you will You can become the suzerain. But if Wang Junlin is not dead, after I fake death, you can't be the suzerain, so let your fourth brother be the suzerain! Don't be unhappy."

"Don't worry, Father." Lu Youwei didn't know what his father had arranged, but he had a vague feeling that Wang Junlin couldn't be killed at all, so if he followed his father's arrangement, he would never be able to become the suzerain of the Lu family.

He walked behind his father, put his hands on his father's shoulders, as if he was about to help him up, and said in a harmonious voice: "No matter who is the suzerain, the child will definitely have no objections."

PS: Whether or not Lu Youwei should kill his father, I have been hesitant today, and I always feel uncomfortable writing such a plot—————
