In Xiangfan City, there was a graceful woman wrapped in silver like a fur coat. It was hard to imagine that twenty years ago it was a ghost city filled with a gloomy aura. She looked like a widow from a poor family who married into a rich family and suddenly changed her appearance. There was no trace of poverty, only the splendor of jewelry.
A carriage slowly moved through a quiet and deep narrow alley. The horse's hooves clattered against the limestone floor, creating a series of crisp sounds. The coachman was a beautiful woman. She was called Apricot Flower in the Prince of Jingan's estate. Everyone knew that she was Young Master Lu's personal maidservant. As that blind Young Master Lu's position in Xiangfan became more and more stable, her status also rose along with it. Even the head steward of the Prince of Jingan's estate had to squeeze out a smile when he saw her. He was afraid that she might blow a pillow wind at Young Master Lu's side. As for whether she really had intimate relations with Young Master Lu, only the heavens knew. Who in the Prince of Jingan's estate didn't know that Young Master Lu was the number one favorite of the young vassal king? Xing Hua, a man of sacrifice whose real name was Liu Lingbao, carefully pulled up the curtain. Lu Xu walked out of the carriage and pushed the door to the private courtyard. Xing Hua could only wait outside the courtyard and did not dare to look at the courtyard door. There were two small courtyards. Originally, there were two Begonia plants in the courtyard. However, Begonia plants could not withstand the sunlight. The courtyard was dark and did not absorb the sunlight. One of them had already died. Lu Xu went straight to the main room. Before he went up the stairs, he stopped. A woman who was guarding the door was frowning. When she saw Lu Xu, she was first surprised and then happy. She quickly walked down the stairs and kept a good distance from him. She said respectfully and softly, "Greetings, Young Master Xu."
Lu Suan smiled lightly and bowed his head slightly. He did not lack etiquette. Although he disliked this woman of unknown origin and never hid it in front of the young Lord, he would not make an enemy out of her if he had to deal with her. There was a sound of porcelain smashing on the ground. Lu Xu looked up at the main room and frowned. Since Zhenwu the Great stepped on the boat at the Spring Lake, the King of Jing An returned to Xiangfan City in a daze. He had not shown up for many days. Many important political affairs that needed to be annotated by the Lord were delayed. Although he was worthy of the title of the most intelligent person in the Jing An Palace, it had always been taboo for counselors to overstep their boundaries. The woman sighed and said, "Young Master Lu, please come in and persuade him. His Highness has only been drinking ever since he came back.
He has eaten nothing. "Lu Suan nodded and walked up the stairs. The woman followed him closely. She was dignified but charming. She looked like the princess who died with the King of Jing An. She gently pushed the door open for Lu Xu. In the room, Zhao Xun's hair was disheveled. He was sitting in the corner with his back against the wall. Dozens of wine jugs were rolling around him. He smelled of wine and did not look like a Lord at all. When he saw Lu Xu, he felt guilty at first and then became angry. He picked up the wine jug with trembling fingers. The jug was empty. The young Lord who was almost as famous as his father in Xiangfan City waited for a long time but did not get a drop of wine. He threw the wine jug and smashed the only remaining porcelain bottle on the shelf. Lu Suan was blind but not blind. He was not surprised by Zhao Xun's depression. His Royal Highness had not experienced many twists and turns in his life. After he became the new King of Jing An, his life was smooth. However, when he was on his way to the top, his dignity was trampled on by the enemy he hated the most. Lu Xu did not comfort him. Instead, he turned around and took a new wine jug from the woman. He sat opposite Zhao Xun and handed it to the young Lord who only dared to hide and drown his sorrows in wine. When he heard the woman's footsteps and the sound of the door closing, he said slowly, "Crown Prince Beiliang is really the reincarnation of Zhenwu Great Emperor. That is a good thing."
Zhao Xun, whose eyes were cloudy, was stunned for a moment. Then he regained some clarity. He took the wine jug and stopped drinking. Instead, he stared at the true backbone of Xiang Fan.
Lu Xu said calmly, "Back then, the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements was popular in the Shangyin Academy. Huang Sanjia claimed that Liyang, who had the Fire Element, was going to unify the world. The nemesis of fire was water. Beiliang ruled the northwest and had the Wudang Mountain which worshipped Zhenwu Great Emperor. It was said that 800 years ago, Zhenwu Great Emperor came to the world and became the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty originated from the southern border of Beiliang. This was the reason why the Imperial Astronomer instigated the Case of the White Clothes in the Capital. For the Emperor who did not care about the common people and ghosts, he would rather believe in the change of the dynasty and the change of the Five Elements than not. The old Lord is the adopted son of Wang Xianzhi of the Emperor of War City. There was also the disturbance of Zhenwu Great Emperor coming to the world at the Lake of Spring. I don't believe that the Emperor can sit still. I believe that Wang Xianzhi can ignore the imperial edict, but I don't believe that Wang Xianzhi can resist the temptation of fighting with Zhenwu Great Emperor. What other competition in the world could be more suitable than the battle with God Yujing, who had walked down from the celestial heavens, as the finale? The imperial court can tolerate His Royal Highness who has already gained power, but it will never accept a King of Beiliang who has ambition and fate. Why don't you make a bet with me on whether Wang Xianzhi will leave the city in the near future? "
Zhao Xun's eyes lit up. He did not care about the disrespect in Lu Xu's words towards the Royal Family. He clapped his hands and laughed, "That makes sense! I won't bet, I'll definitely lose! "
