After returning from Thousand Buddha Temple, Li Muyang had already changed out of his odd-job clothes and removed his makeup. After taking a hot bath, he put on one of the several sets of fine clothes given to him by Lady Gongsun, and put on the jade pendant, becoming an elegant young master once again.
Handsome, fresh, and elegant.
He had an extraordinary bearing and was cultured and refined.
This was his grandson Li Muyang, the grandson Li Muyang whom he had sent away...
Lu Xingkong stared at Li Muyang and pondered for a long time without saying a word.
After a long time, he drank the tea in his hand and laughed, saying: "To have such a good grandson, Heaven really treats me, Lu Xingkong, well."
Li Muyang also laughed foolishly, thinking: I just said it out of courtesy, and you just replied out of courtesy, is there a need to be so happy?
Besides, don't you already have a grandson? Is he not as good as me?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Muyang laughed even more happily.
"That must be the case. How many of these good-for-nothings in Tiandu are better than me? Even that Song Tinyun, the jade tree of the Song family, is only so-so... hahahaha... "
The smile on Lu Xingkong's face gradually faded, and he looked at Li Muyang and asked: "Li Muyang, what do you want?"
"What?" Li Muyang was taken aback, and then thought he had understood the hidden meaning of these words. He waved his hand and said: "Grandpa, you really don't need to thank me anymore. Uncle Lu and Aunt Gongsun have already thanked me, the clothes I'm wearing were given to me by Aunt Gongsun, and the jade pendant I'm wearing, as well as the four beautiful maids... Aunt Gongsun has given me a lot of things, Grandpa really doesn't need to take this matter to heart. If you continue like this, you are treating me as an outsider. "
Lu Xingkong laughed and looked at this simple and honest grandson: "You saved her husband, so she should treat you like this. No amount of gratitude is too much. "
Li Muyang said shyly: "It's really too much, I'm flattered."
"You haven't answered my question yet. What do you want? Or, what kind of person do you want to be in the future? "Lu Xingkong's expression became serious as he asked aloud.
"Muyang has nothing else to ask for, I just hope that the family is safe and happy." Li Muyang said aloud.
In the past, he hoped that his skin could become fairer, his brain could become smarter, and his talent could improve … Now, he had all of these. Therefore, there was no need for him to hope for anything else. He only hoped that his family would be safe.
After experiencing life and death in the illusion, he realized how precious life was.
If they could live together as a family in harmony like today, there was nothing more blissful than that.
"What if someone doesn't want your family to be safe and happy?" Lu Xingkong asked.
Li Muyang's eyes turned cold as he said, "Grandpa, what do you mean?"
"For example, the Cui family, such as the many vassals of the Cui family, such as the forces that have the same goal as the Cui family — — If the Lu Family falls, what would your Li family do?" Lu Xingkong's face was calm, but he threw out an extremely realistic and cruel question.
The Lu Family was now under attack from all sides. If the Lu Family could not withstand, and the behemoth collapsed with a loud 'boom', someone would come to cut their flesh, someone would come to drink their blood, and someone would come to extract their bones to make soup — — At that time, how would the little Li family hiding at the foot of the Lu Family protect themselves?
Li Muyang's expression was solemn. "Muyang has never wanted to provoke anyone, offend anyone, and do not have too much ambition and desire. I do not seek to be famous throughout the world, and even more do not want to be conferred a title. What I seek is nothing more than personal freedom and the well-being of my family. However, if someone wants to harm my family, Muyang would rather die than submit, and desperately resist. "
"Rather die than submit, desperately resist. For the sake of one's family, it's only right. " Lu Xingkong said with a smile. "The world says that I, Lu Xingkong, am overbearing and unreasonable, and that I have overthrown the imperial power. In fact, what I seek is nothing more than personal freedom and the well-being of my family, just like you. What else? "
Li Muyang frowned slightly. Xiaoxin asked, "In that case, why doesn't Grandfather take a step back?"
"Take a step back?" Lu Xingkong sneered. "If I could take a step back, I would have done so long ago. If you take a step back, others will find out that you are timid. You will be forced to take a second step back, and then a third step back. When you have nowhere to retreat, that is the time to take your life and plot against your family. At that time, you would be unarmed, without any death warriors, how would you protect yourself? How would you protect your family and friends? "
Lu Xingkong looked at Li Muyang, saying in a low voice, "My, Lu Xingkong's death is not to be regretted, but if the whole family is to be buried with me, this is not what I want. In that case, I will die with everlasting regret. Besides, you have come this far and stood in such a high position. You have many wings behind you and many followers. When the tree falls, the monkeys will scatter. If the monkeys only scatter, this is fine, but it is unknown whether these soldiers who have fought for the country and the people will be able to keep their lives. Under such circumstances, how could I retreat? How could I dare to retreat? "
Lu Xingkong looked at Li Muyang and said, "Isn't General Xu Da just an example? If you didn't save him this time, and I didn't protect him, would he still be alive? In his family, the men would be sent to be slaves and the women would be prostitutes. In the worst case, they would be beheaded and their entire family would be exterminated. Is this the retribution that a veteran of hundreds of battles deserves? "
Li Muyang felt his breathing quicken.
He didn't think that his unintentional action back then would save the life of a general, including the lives of the general's entire family.
It was no wonder that Old Master Lu valued him so much. If it wasn't for that incident, this important general under his command would have been beheaded.
"We can only go forward?" Li Muyang looked at Lu Xingkong and asked.
"We can only go forward and fight to the death." Lu Xingkong's eyes were firm and resolute as he said in a low voice.
Li Muyang sighed softly and said, "Like this, it has become an unsolvable knot."
"There are hundreds of ways to solve the knot, whoever solves it will die." Lu Xingkong sighed softly and said, "For the sake of the family, we can only persevere to the end. When others charge with a sword, you suddenly retreat. Victory and defeat are decided, life and death are decided. "
"The Li family has received too much grace from the Lu Family and will still need the protection of the Lu Family in the future. At this time, the two families should be one. If one loses, we all lose. If one dies, we all die. "Li Muyang thought carefully and chose his words. Although his father, Li Yan, was the head of the Li family, but Li Muyang felt that he had grown up and that there were some things that he should shoulder. "Is there anything I can help with?"
