The dead was already dead, so the living had to stand up and speak.
Lu Xingkong had long been 'dead', died in the hands of Song Gudu of the Song clan, died in the insidious hands of Cui Xichen of the Cui clan. This was also the reason why the West Wind imperial family was wise to eradicate the rebel group of the Song clan that plotted to usurp the throne and establish a new Emperor.
Lu Xingkong died, with tragedy and the sympathy of countless people.
Moreover, Lu Xingkong's death was the cause. It was the 'opportunity' for the changes and purges of the Empire's political map.
A dead person suddenly came back to life. Then, all of this was worth discussing, worth pondering, and all of this would become like a child's play.
At that time, there would naturally be people who would think that since Lu Xingkong was faking his death, then on the Sword God Square, Song Gudu killing Lu Xingkong was just a cover-up?
Since Lu Xingkong did not die, then why could he watch the Lu clan being slaughtered and hunted down? What was he planning?
Since Lu Xingkong was not dead, then Song Gudu was not dead? Did the Song Clan rebel or plot a rebellion? Is the Cui Clan a victim of politics?
And so on — —
In the world, the most frightening thing was the word 'intention'.
Once someone put their heart into it, pondered over it, then there would be more and more flaws, and the truth would become clearer and clearer.
Lu Xingkong was experienced and astute, and naturally did not want such a situation to happen.
Therefore, since he was already 'dead', then he could only be a silent dead man forever — —
He could hide behind the scenes and manipulate all this, but there were some things that someone must stand out in the open.
Naturally, Lu Qingming, who was far away in Jiangnan, was the best choice.
Lu Qingming was the son that he had worked hard to cultivate, and was also his only son. He had the ability and prestige, and was the best choice for the continuation of power.
Whether the Lu clan could soar again, or become the number one family of West Wind like the Song clan that controlled the imperial family in the palm of their hands, Lu Qingming was a very key figure.
He was in the prime of his life, how could he go and live in seclusion in an unknown place?
Therefore, Lu Xingkong had to summon his son out.
The world thought that Lu Qingming was still in Wind City, and was the Lord of Wind City. He still thought that Wind City was still under his control, and that the Gongshu clan was still working for him.
Only Lu Qingming and a very small number of core people knew that Lu Qingming had long been quietly taken out of Wind City by his grandson to start a new life in an unknown place.
Wind City could be said to be the Wind City of the Peacock Imperial Court, and the Gongshu clan also began to serve the Peacock Imperial Court.
This was also the reason why the Peacock Imperial Court suddenly had so many Lu Ban war chariots participating in the battle — — This really caught the West Wind army unprepared.
It should be known that when he was in power, the Gongshu Clan had always been his right and left arm, helping him forge the most powerful weapons in the world. Who would have thought that they would fall into the hands of the enemy today, and even have to bear the brunt of that war chariot …
Why did Xu Da put on such an act in front of everyone? It was to find an opportunity for Lu Qingming to make a comeback.
Lu Qingming couldn't stand out on his own. Everyone knew that the things that were delivered to the door were generally worthless.
He needed others to cry, beg, and kneel on the ground to ask him to come out. In that way, when Lu Qingming came to Zhongzhou State, he could call for help. Wouldn't he have to treat the Master that he invited out well?
In terms of planning and scheming, there were not many people who were the old man's opponent.
Therefore, Xu Da looked up at the old man, and then hurriedly lowered his head — — He didn't want the old man to know that he had seen through all of his means. He hoped that in the old man's eyes, he was a General who only knew how to use troops and not strategies, and not a politician.
When he lowered his head, Xu Da regretted it again.
"Isn't this trying to cover up making things more obvious? With the wisdom of the old man, what can't he understand? "
"You — —" The old man cast a deep glance at Xu Da, saying with a smile, "You like to do these things that you think are smart — —"
Xu Da's heart trembled, bowed his head deeply, and said in an ashamed tone, "I've let General laugh at me."
The old man waved his hand. "We are one family, what are you saying these words for?"
Xu Da was overjoyed. He knew that what he was doing was in line with the old man's smile, but his face did not change. He said in a low voice, "This is also something that can't be helped. The situation is so bad, the Peacock Army's offensive is getting stronger day by day. Originally, we had a strong city and high walls to defend, but now that the Peacock Army used the Lu Ban war chariot, the strong city and high walls are no longer secure. With the attacks these days, the walls have collapsed, and Zhongzhou City has been seriously damaged. "
"I asked the generals if there was any way to deal with the Lu Ban war chariot. Everyone shook their heads, and no one could offer a good plan. The only thing that can deal with the Lu Ban war chariot is the same Lu Ban war chariot. Therefore, if the young Duke can stand up and support us, and let him preside over the overall situation, the people's hearts can be used. And if the Gongshu Clan can reach Zhongzhou State, then the Peacock Army's siege can be solved. This is killing two birds with one stone. That's why Xu Da dared to agree to the request of the generals to write to the young Duke. "
The old man nodded. "Since you have agreed, then act according to the plan — — however, I'm afraid that even if we write a letter, it will be difficult to ask him to come out."
"The Little Duke was born in West Wind, grew up in West Wind, and has been in the army for many years. The Mountain Shaking Army, the Yue Mountain Army and the Broken Star Deep Army in Central Continent City are all the trusted subordinates of the Little Duke — — The human heart is made of flesh, I believe the Little Duke will not disregard these brothers and comrades." Xu Da said with a firm face. "I have the confidence to ask the Little Duke to come out."
"Then go." The old man nodded. "There's still no news from Muyang?"
"Jinzhou City has been breached, the young Master and the Princess of the Peacock Imperial Court had a great battle, and both disappeared at the same time — — We have sent a large number of scouts to search for them, but have not found anything. Originally we were worried that the young Master would be captured by the Peacock Army, but later we found out that even the Peacock Army was searching for their whereabouts, so we dispelled this idea — — It is said that the Peacock Army has not made any progress. "
"Continue to search." The old man said in a low voice. "If he is alive I want to see him, if he is dead I want to see his corpse."
"Yes." Xu Da respectfully responded. "Also, that person of the Yan family has been captured by the Peacock Army — — today the spies reported that he will be beheaded in three days, should we do anything?"
"The boy of the Yan family? Yan Xiangma? "The old man had a thoughtful expression on his face." He is a good seedling — — "
