Tiandu. Lu mansion.
Gongsun Yu was sitting on the armchair in the main hall, like the head of the family guarding this huge family.
Little fatty Lu Tianyu was sitting upright next to his mother. Even though his heart, liver and lungs were all attracted by the battle on Mist Mountain, but he could not go out. The only thing he could do was to accompany his mother, and with her — — he sat there with his back straight. His mother was extremely strict with him, and if she saw him sitting in the wrong posture, she would punish him.
Among the aristocracy, the requirement of etiquette was almost harsh.
Lu Tianyu could not understand why his mother would not let him go out?
It was said that the whole Tiandu had gone to watch the battle of the century — — Old immortal of Still water Mu Dingyi personally took action, this was a major event that had not been seen for decades?
Besides, the other side of the decisive battle was Li Shinian's brother. Li Shinian's brother was his own brother. Moreover, he had saved his father's life and was the benefactor of the Lu Family, as well as Lu Tianyu's benefactor.
There was a saying in Tiandu: A child with a father is like a treasure, a child without a father is a weed.
Thinking of the tragic days after he lost his father, there was a lingering fear in his heart.
In the depths of his heart, he respected and liked Li Muyang.
It was just that he did not like the appearance of Li Muyang.
What kind of man is a man without a few pounds of fat on his body? Lu Tianyu was quite satisfied with his chubby body.
Moreover, he was so good-looking, like a woman — — there was no masculinity at all.
Men should be like Grandfather and Father, like Uncle Li and Uncle Meng — —
Stocky and stocky, with a full face of beard.
There was another thing he could not understand. Li Shinian and his family, who lived in the backyard of the Lu mansion, had suddenly disappeared. Except for Li Muyang, who stayed behind to fight Mu Dingyi, the others had all left Tiandu without anyone knowing.
"Why did they just leave?"
"They should say goodbye, right?"
"What exactly happened?"
※ ※ ※
Lu Tianyu did not know what secrets were hidden behind these things, but being born in a powerful family like the Lu Family, his political acumen was still very high. He knew that a calamity was about to descend. And the Lu Family would be in the eye of the storm.
The stewards of the Lu Mansion were constantly coming in and out, constantly delivering the latest news to Gongsun Yu's ears.
"Madam, the decisive battle has begun. Mu Dingyi's attack is fierce, and Young Master Muyang's strength is also not weak — —"
"Madam — — good news, Young master Muyang defeated Mu Dingyi, Mu Dingyi died on the spot — —"
"Madam, the grandfather of the Song family, Song Gudu, has appeared. It seems that the situation is not good for Young Master Muyang — — and some people say that Young Master Muyang is a dragon. How could Young Master Muyang be a dragon? How could there be dragons in the divine continent?"
※ ※ ※
Gongsun Yu's face alternated between joy and worry.
When she heard the good news from Li Muyang, her face glowed with excitement.
When she heard that Li Muyang was in danger, her face was full of worry and anxiety.
In Lu Tianyu's heart, his mother was a gentle, dignified, calm and magnanimous woman. However, for some reason, her mood fluctuated too much today — — as though the person in the duel was her own son.
However, Lu Tianyu also knew that Li Muyang was his father's savior. During his return to Tiandu, his father trusted and trusted him, and his mother was also grateful to him. Even his Grandfather, who had always been dignified, had a rare smile on his face when he faced him — —
"Does Mother really think of him as her own son?" Lu Tianyu speculated in his mind. At first, he was a little jealous, thinking that there was another man who had come to take his favour and status, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
However, thinking of all the help he had given to the Lu Family, as well as the fact that he was fighting against those old monsters who had been famous for decades, his life hanging by a thread, and could be killed at any time, he felt that Li Muyang was actually quite pitiful.
Seeing that his mother was even more worried because of Song Gudu's appearance, Lu Tianyu walked over and gently massaged her shoulders. "Mother, don't worry, Brother Muyang will be fine, Grandfather and Father will also be fine — —"
"Tianyu — —" Gongsun Yu clasped her youngest son's hand, looking at his sincere chubby face, and said softly, "It's okay. Nothing will happen to the family. Nobody will be in trouble. "
"Yes." Lu Tianyu nodded seriously, smiling. "Brother Muyang is so powerful, he could even kill Mu Dingyi, he must be the strongest in Tiandu, other people naturally cannot beat him."
Gongsun Yu shook her head, then nodded again.
She knew in her heart that Song Gudu was not Mu Dingyi, and the housekeeper had just come to report that Song Gudu had just stepped into the Astral projection realm, and was now the strongest in the West Wind Kingdom.
The person who had just stepped into the Starry Sky had gone to Mist Mountain to find trouble with Li Muyang, would Li Muyang be able to withstand it? Would the Lu Family be able to survive this calamity?
However, she did not want Lu Tianyu to suffer such torment with her.
She clenched Lu Tianyu's chubby hand, saying aloud, "Yes, your brother is the strongest in West Wind, other people naturally cannot beat him."
Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance of the small courtyard.
The housekeeper of the Lu residence hurriedly ran over, shouting, "Madam, things are not good, things are not good — — the Qilin army suddenly rushed over to our Lu residence, trying to surround us — —"
Ho!
Gongsun Yu sprang to her feet, roaring, "They dare do this — — who gave them the order?"
"The leader is General Song Lang of the Qilin army — —"
"The Song family." Gongsun Yu's eyes were piercingly cold, the anger in her heart was spreading everywhere, making her body feel like it was about to explode.
However, she knew that when the family was in danger, her father-in-law and husband were not at home, so she must remain calm at this time. "Do they have an excuse? It is a serious crime to besiege the House of Duke for no reason. Could it be that they want to rebel? "
"Madam, General Li of the City Patrol has gone to negotiate with them. General Li told me to tell Madam to prepare for the worst — —"
"Prepare for the worst — —" Gongsun Yu's heart sank, pondered for a long time, and then resolutely issued an order. "Begin the implementation of the 'Spring Wind' plan."
The housekeeper exclaimed, "Madam — —"
"Execute it immediately."
"Yes. Madam. " The housekeeper's face was contorted with horror, took a deep look at Gongsun Yu, and then walked outside with heavy steps.
The millennium family, the Lu Family's mansion, was it going to — — collapse like this?

At the entrance of the Lu residence.
Two teams of people stood facing each other. One team was clad in blue light armour, equipped with horses and long swords. This was the elite of the City Patrol, personally led by General Li Kefeng.
The other team was clad in red heavy armour, equipped with long spears and imperial swords. This was the Qilin army of the Empire that carried out a special mission, led by the Song family's' Jade Faced General 'Song Lang.
Li Kefeng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was sitting on a tall horse at the forefront of the team.
His face was gloomy, and his eyes were almost about to spew fire.
"Song Lang, are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing now? Disobeying the Emperor's order, without the Tiger Seal, you dare to mobilize the Qilin army in Tiandu, and even dare to attack the House of Duke of the Empire — — do you know what this is? "
"Who said I don't have the Emperor's order? Who said I don't have the Tiger Seal? "Song Lang had inherited the good genes of the Song family, with a jade face and a handsome face. Dressed in a set of red heavy armour, he looked majestic and intoxicating.
"Where is the Emperor's order? Where is the Tiger Seal? "
"The Emperor's order is the golden word of His Majesty, who would dare to falsify it? The Tiger Seal, because of the urgency of the matter, I came out in a hurry and forgot to bring it out. However, I have already sent someone back to retrieve it, it will naturally arrive in a moment — — "
"Without the Emperor's order, without the Tiger Seal, privately mobilized the Qilin army to besiege the House of Duke, this is the crime of rebellion — —" Li Kefeng's voice suddenly rose, shouting at the Qilin army soldiers in red armour: "Song Lang intends to rebel, do you also want to follow him in rebellion? The crime of executing the nine sins, my fellow countrymen must think clearly. Even if you do not think for yourself, you must think for your family — — "
Song Lang sneered again and again, looking at Li Kefeng with a condescending gaze.
This was one of the characteristics of the Song family. Their deep family heritage and profound family knowledge made them able to look down on all living beings.
There was no doubt.
There was no movement.
The Qilin army, from top to bottom, were all looking at their General Song Lang with reverence and fanaticism.
They believed every word that Song Lang said, and they obeyed every order of Song Lang.
Since the first West Wind Emperor, until now, the commander in chief of the Qilin army had always been appointed and held by the Song family. This was not so much the Qilin army of the West Wind Kingdom, but rather the Qilin army of the Song family.
Evidently, Song Lang also had full confidence in the control of the Qilin army.
He looked at Li Kefeng with a cold and arrogant face, sneering. "General Li, you are also a soldier, and have fought many battles. Don't you know that it is a taboo for soldiers to suspect each other? "
"General, the soul of the army. If I can make you and the City Patrol Division turn against each other with just a few words, doesn't that prove that you, as a General, have failed too much? In the same way, if you can make the Qilin army betray me with a few groundless accusations, then it proves that I, Song Lang, am incompetent, and deserve to die. "
"It seems that your Song family is determined to commit treason this time. Since you have already decided to die, then don't blame me for being impolite — —" Li Kefeng said in a loud voice.
Clang!
Li Kefeng drew out the sword in his hand, pointing to Song Lang in front of him. "With me here, no one can take a step near the House of Duke. City Patrol Division, listen to my order, the lower stone is the boundary, if anyone dares to cross this boundary, kill them. "
"Yes." The soldiers of the City Patrol Division drew their swords in unison.
The corners of Song Lang's mouth curved in a sarcastic smile. "When did the City Patrol Division have such power and prestige? It's just a few city gate bailiffs, catching thieves and beating up villains. That's all. Do you really think you are a master of hundreds of battles? "
Li Kefeng's face was the colour of pig liver.
He was originally the general of the border town, and there were countless soldiers under his command. However, because they were Lu Xingkong's people, and Lu Xingkong was ostracized by the people in the imperial court, they were transferred from the army and returned to Tiandu.
Although Lu Xingkong had done everything he could to arrange a good position for them — — but how could the City Patrol Division be compared to the field troops on the frontier of the Empire?
Of course, to be able to control a part of the military power in the capital of the Empire was already an extremely difficult task. Many of his military colleagues had been assigned to civilian posts in ministries and commissions, which was more like asking for their old lives.
"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated." Although Li Kefeng was holding back his anger, but he did not panic in the face of danger, borrowing Li Lang's words to boost the morale of his soldiers. "The outcome is unknown, the City Patrol Division will only die."
"Only die." The elites of the City Patrol Division thundered.
They had all heard Song Lang's words, and at this time everyone was suppressing a bellyful of anger. And after being incited by Li Kefeng, they could not wait to brandish their swords and rush over to kill to their heart's content.
Song Lang looked at Li Kefeng with a dignified expression, putting away his arrogant and conceited thoughts.
He originally wanted to say that the City Patrol Division was the 'bailiff of the government office' to attack their morale, and make them fear when facing a lion that had been through hundreds of battles, and quickly resolve the battle.
But he did not expect Li Kefeng to borrow strength to fight back, and instantly find a flaw to counterattack. Not only did his intention not succeed, but it also made the City Patrol Division furious, and their combat strength also greatly increased.
Song Lang could feel the anger and killing intent exuding from the soldiers of the City Patrol Division. However, no one could stop the advance of the Qilin army.
Because, they were the Emperor's army.
Clang!
Song Lang pulled out the sword at his waist and roared: "Qilin army, charge."
"Kill — —"
The Qilin army soldiers clad in red heavy armour raised their spears and charged toward the City Patrol Division in front.
"Kill — —"
Li Kefeng took the lead, clamping the horse's abdomen with his legs, and brandishing his sword, he charged toward the opposite side.
The flames of war ignited at the first touch.
The blue City Patrol Division and the red Qilin army clashed at each other, roars shaking the sky, flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

"Li Fu, ah Li Fu, I have always said you are a good dog — — you are indeed a good dog, but this dog is not for me to use, but a good dog that someone else placed at my side — —"
Chu Xianda burst into laughter, filled with grief and indignation.
He had never imagined that his chamberlain, Li Fu, was also one of their people.
He had always regarded him as a confidant, had handed over his most confidential matters to him to handle, and had also placed his greatest power in his hands.
How many times had he discussed with him about which officials he could use, and which officials had disloyal intentions towards him. And how many nights, when he was discussing secret matters with the core officials around him, he was serving them with tea.
At that time, he thought he was a natural moat, a chasm between him and the outside world.
It was only now that Chu Xianda understood that Li Fu was a spy, a traitor. He was a chess piece that they knew about him like the back of their hand, a trump card in their plot.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
"You old dog, you old dog — —" Chu Xianda pointed at Li Fu's face, his fingers trembling, and roared in a sorrowful voice, "I will kill you, I will kill your whole family, I will execute your nine generations — —"
Li Fu bowed deeply to Chu Xianda, saying in a low voice, "Old slave thanks Your Majesty for your trust and reliance over the years, but I am in the imperial court, I cannot do as I please. Old slave really has wronged Your Majesty. But, Your Majesty, Old slave is just a chess piece. When Old slave was arranged to serve the former Emperor, today's fate had already been decided — — "
"Everyone has their own corresponding position. Your Majesty is the ruler of the Nine Five, the proud son of Heaven. You have the power to decide life and death, and control the life and death of countless people. But, Your Majesty, Old slave has no other choice, Old slave's fate had already been decided decades ago — — Old slave used to be one of their people, even if decades have passed, Old slave is still one of their people. Until death. If I want to jump ship midway, the previous ship will no longer accommodate me, and Your Majesty will dispose of Old slave like trash, right? "
"That makes sense. It really makes sense — — "Chu Xianda's eyes blazed with murderous intent." White Bear, kill Li Fu that old dog. "
"Yes, Your Majesty." A buzzing voice sounded.
A white figure appeared behind Li Fu, raising the bronze axe in his hand and swinging it at Li Fu's head.
Above the giant axe, there was a yellow flame burning. This person was born with brute force, and his essential qi was pure and abundant. He was a human shield for Chu Xianda.
He was always at the forefront when charging and breaking through enemy lines. He was a person that Chu Xianda trusted very much.
"Swoosh — —"
Black smoke filled the air, shrouding White Bear's tall body.
When the black smoke dissipated, White Bear's huge body had turned into a bony skeleton. His hair had withered, his muscles had atrophied, and the previously lively giant had become lifeless.
Behind him stood a short and small person.
"Black fly — —" Chu Xianda stared in shock at the thin and ugly little person. He did not expect that even the people around him would betray him. "You're also — —"
Black fly's little hand left White Bear's back, where a charcoal-like hole had been burned.
"Your Majesty — —" Black fly expressionlessly cupped one hand in the other to Chu Xianda. "I'm sorry."
"You — — you — —"
"Elder brother, don't be angry — —" Prince Fu came over with a smile on his face, a complacent and arrogant look on his face. He looked at Chu Xianda and said: "If you get angry and hurt your body, then wouldn't it be good for me, your brother?"
"Prince Fu — —" Chu Xianda gnashed his teeth, staring at Prince Fu. "It's you — — I didn't expect it to be you — —"
