The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Reality tells us that until the very last step, no one knows who the mantis is, who the cicada is, and who the oriole is …
In the eyes of the Song enterprise, she was the oriole, the Lu enterprise was the mantis blocking the chariot, and the Chu enterprise was the cicada.
In the eyes of the Chu Dynasty, the Song Clan was a mantis, and the Lu Clan was a cicada waiting to be caught after autumn.
However, in the eyes of Lu Enterprise, the Song enterprise was a mantis, and the Chu enterprise was a cicada that was about to be eaten.
King Hui had originally thought that he would be the only one in power, and that the Chu Royal Clan would regain their imperial authority. He would work hard to win the hearts of the people and become a wise monarch whose name would be left in the annals of history.
What he didn't expect was that the important minister he could rely on had become a traitor, and the confidant he could entrust to had become a huge threat …
Half of the country!
He actually dared to ask for half of the kingdom!
Such guts, such a big appetite …
If he could, the King of the Hui nation would have killed him with a single stroke of his sword. He would have destroyed his entire family and clan.
Can I?
The King of the Hui nation got a negative answer from the eyes of his followers. They did not have the confidence to win.
"Duke Lu, we need to give this matter further thought … I've said it before, as long as Duke Lu says it, what's wrong with giving half of the kingdom to you? At the end of the day, the Chu Clan's empire was fought back by Lord Lu. Without Master Lu, I don't know how the Song enterprise would bully and humiliate me. However, this matter is of great importance. Can you give me some time to prepare? "
"A long night is fraught with dreams. If the Song enterprise had acted more ruthlessly and decisively, would there still be His Majesty and me today? Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly. "
"Lord Lu, are you forcing me to declare my stance on the spot?"
"I just don't want His Majesty to worry about this matter."
"What a loyal minister."
"His Majesty is also a benevolent and wise ruler."
"Duke Lu …"
"Your Majesty …"

He had said all he wanted to say. Anything more would be useless.
None of them were fools. One didn't want to give it to him, while the other wanted it now. There had to be a result in the end.
Now, it was a competition of whose fist was bigger and whose strength was stronger …
The two of them stared at each other, one like a knife, the other like a sword.
As the sword and saber clashed, killing intent overflowed.
The outcome of the battle had just been decided, but they had shed all pretense of cordiality for the sake of splitting the spoils of war.
Looking at Lu Xingkong's calm and deep eyes, the King of the Hui nation suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
He had seen this pair of eyes somewhere before, and it left a deep impression on him …
Song Gudu!
Yes, that was Song Gudu's gaze.
Forever calm like water, and forever deep and unfathomable. At a glance, it gave people the feeling that they were about to drown.
Lu Xingkong's eyes became Song Gudu's eyes, and Lu Xingkong — — also became Song Gudu.
All the powerful officials in the world had the same eyes, right?
The King of the Hui nation suddenly understood that if he did not "give" the tiger tally today, Lu Xingkong would not allow him to leave this small courtyard …
The Starry Sky Eye was cruelly pecked at by the Desert Eagle.
He, the West Wind Emperor, was also in the palm of his hand.
The plot from decades ago was for today's abdication, wasn't it?
What a pity! What a pity!
Did his brother, who had regarded him as his uncle, know that he had trusted the wrong person with all his sincerity?
If that was the case, he wouldn't have used such an extreme method to end his life …
Clang …
The wooden door of the small courtyard was pushed open.
A group of people bolted in, and walking in the front was the Prince of the West Wind Kingdom, Chu Xun.
The blind Chu Xun walked calmly and calmly. A group of black-robed people stood on both sides of him, following closely behind him.
Chu Xun stood in the middle of the small courtyard, bowing deeply to his father, "Son pays respect to Father."
"Xun 'er, what are you doing here? Leave quickly. "The King of the Hui nation bellowed.
Even if he very much disliked his blind and useless son, but Chu Xun was still his own flesh and blood. If Lu Xingkong suddenly made a move, not only would Chu Xun not be able to help, but he would also be a burden.
"I came to visit Father." The corners of Chu Xun's mouth curved in a strange smile. "I heard that Duke Cui had just left here, his hair was disheveled, like a corpse. I also heard that Father came here to meet with someone. Son was wondering what kind of important person could make Father and Duke Cui personally come here to meet — — "
As he spoke, Chu Xun's black satin covered "eye sockets" had shifted to where Lu Xingkong was, hissing: "Defence minister, how have you been?"
"Good." Lu Xingkong looked at Chu Xun, his voice calm.
He had thought that the outstanding youngster of the Chu clan, who had always been thought highly of, would not be able to recover after his eyes were gouged out, and would completely disappear from the eyes of the public.
Who would have thought that not only did Chu Xun not disappear and not die, but he also grew up in a different way.
The current Chu Xun seemed to be much more mature and composed. Moreover, even though he was standing there motionless, there was a murderous look between his brows, and black qi was curling around his body, giving off an eerie and terrifying feeling.
This boy is not a good person!
"I originally thought that Xun came at the wrong time and disturbed Father's secret discussion with the distinguished guest. But, since that distinguished guest is the Defense Minister, that proves that this trip was a lucky one … "The smile on Chu Xun's lips became even wider as he said," Defense Minister, you should also have a deep impression of Xun, right? "
"Prince Xun is an outstanding talent of the Chu clan, the proud disciple of Starry Sky, how can I forget?"
"Outstanding talent of the Chu clan? Proud disciple of Starry Sky? " Chu Xun laughed wildly. "Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning when you say such words? How can a blind and useless prince be an outstanding talent of the Chu clan? As for the praise of the proud disciple of Starry Sky — — only your obedient grandson of the Dragon clan is qualified, right? "
Chu Xun suddenly pulled off his eyepatch, showing his empty eye sockets to Lu Xingkong's eyes. He shouted angrily: "Lu Xingkong, this is your masterpiece, this is your evil deed — — seeing me like this, won't you have nightmares at night?"
"No." Lu Xingkong said softly. "I use the internal breathing technique to sleep. I've slept very well all these years. "
"You sleep very well, I don't sleep well — — Lu Xingkong, I want to kill you every moment. I want to take revenge, I want to slaughter your Lu clan until not even the fowls and dogs are left — — "
"I thought you were dead and I wouldn't have the chance to personally chop off your head. The heavens have blessed me, I didn't think you didn't die — — Lu Xingkong is still alive — — great, really great. Lu Xingkong, I will personally dig out your eyes and make you become like me. I will cut off your limbs and make you crawl on the ground like a maggot, struggling at death's door, living a life worse than death — — "
The more Chu Xun spoke, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait to draw his sword and behead Lu Xingkong on the spot.
Lu Xingkong calmly looked at Chu Xun and said: "It seems that you really do hate me. But, you can't kill me. "
"Lu Xingkong — —" Chu Xun suppressed the hostility in his heart and sneered: "Do you think I'm still the Chu Xun of the past? Do you think I'm still the trash that you can easily dig out my eyes? "
Lu Xingkong looked noncommittal and said: "Then let's try."
"Try — —"
Chu Xun's mouth chewed on these two words.
"Try — — of course I have to try — — but, before I do that, I want to ask Master Lu for a small favor — —"
"Let's hear it."
Chu Xun clapped his hands and immediately two young and beautiful girls were escorted in.
The two looked reluctant, desperately trying to break free from the black-robed men's restraints, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't do it.
"Chu Xun, I didn't expect you to be such a person — — let us go — —" Chu Ning shouted angrily.
Seeing the Hui King standing on the side, Chu Ning immediately complained to the elders: "Uncle, Chu Xun bullied me — —"
The Hui King was deeply worried at this time, how could he be in the mood to ask about such trivial matters?
He looked at Chu Ning with dissatisfaction and said: "You shut up first."
"— —" Tears welled up in Chu Ning's eyes, but she clenched her teeth and didn't let the tears fall.
Cui Xiaoxin reached out and held Chu Ning's hand tightly, using her meager strength to comfort her.
Her eyes, however, were on Lu Xingkong, who was sitting on the stone chair in the small courtyard. This old man … Wasn't he already dead? He died in front of so many people, so why was he still alive? And why was he able to stand in front of the Chu father and son unscathed?
Thinking quickly, it was as if the many things that had happened in the past six months suddenly had an explanation.
Cause and effect, there was a cause and an effect.
Who was to blame for the cause of today's evil in the future?
Cui Xiaoxin was originally an intelligent woman, and the moment she saw Lu Xingkong, she understood a lot of things.
However, now that she was a captive, she didn't know about the Cui family's recent situation, nor did she know about the relationship between the Cui family and the imperial family or the Lu family, so she simply kept silent and expressed her dissatisfaction at the right time.
"But, does he know? Does he know that his grandfather is still alive … and has been hiding behind the scenes to manipulate the empire? "
As expected, Lu Xingkong's eyes shifted to Chu Ning and Cui Xiaoxin's faces. He glanced at them and asked: "This is what you want to ask me for help with?"
Chu Xun pointed to Cui Xiaoxin and asked aloud: "You must know her, right?"
"The bright moon of the empire, Xiaoxin of the Cui family. I know her. "
"Does Lu Xun know about her relationship with your family's little dragon?"
"I've heard a little."
"Miss Xiaoxin is here, why don't you invite your grandson Li Muyang over for a gathering?" Chu Xun said with a smile: "An evil dragon can be seen everywhere, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven for me to find him. But if he comes to find me, it'll be much easier. "
"As an elder, it's not appropriate for me to concern myself with the affairs of the younger generation."
"But, if you, as an elder, don't say anything, don't do anything …" Chu Xun opened his arm, and a sharp knife made of thick black smoke suddenly rushed to Cui Xiaoxin's neck. When the blade touched the flesh, a tiny trace of blood flowed out. Chu Xun's face was ferocious as he said coldly: "She's going to die. Die in front of you. At that time, has Lu Xun thought about how to explain to your precious grandson? "
