The Black-Armored General Who Turned the Tide

"My lord, there's no need to test me. I've already said before that what I did was Lu's family affair. In Youzhou, neither the Gao family nor the Zhang family can interfere in Lu's family affairs."

At this point, Liu Buqi no longer had any need to hide anything! Her words also successfully caused a commotion among the Lu family.

Yes, there is indeed someone in Youzhou who can legitimately participate in the Lu family's affairs! The current commander of Youzhou, the imperially appointed Marquis of Anguo, Yue Lingxi!

This Liu Buqi originally entered the Lu family as Yue Lingxi's concubine, but after a series of her performances, no one really regarded her as Yue Lingxi's concubine!

After all, Yue Lingxi has a rather notorious reputation in the Lu family!

As for Shangguan Yan, in his eyes, what great achievements could a child who was just over ten years old make?

After thinking about it carefully, Liu Buqi must be a person planted by some force who wants to use Yue Lingxi's reputation to occupy Youzhou!

Isn’t it the same purpose when you choose to marry off your daughter?

Shangguan Yan, who thought he understood everything, naturally wouldn't dwell on this issue any further.

When Liu Buqi saw the expressions of Shangguan Yan and Lu Zhi and Lu Yi behind him, he could only smile bitterly and said nothing more!

Her husband is a hot commodity in the eyes of these people, but he is also considered a waste by everyone. It is difficult to explain this character clearly in a short time.

Both sides believed that they were in control of the initiative and that delaying time would be beneficial to them, so they were not in a hurry to take the next step.

Liu Buqi and Shangguan Yan only had a few tentative conversations with each other. Although the plans of all parties were already relatively clear, it was not something that could be flaunted after all.

The stalemate lasted until dawn, and the day for the Lu family to open the ancestral temple and worship their ancestors finally arrived!

A servant of the Lu family stumbled in from outside the gate and broke the deadlock!

"Master, there's a group of people outside the door. They say that Youzhou Commander Yue Lingxi has returned to his mother's family to pay respects to his ancestors!"

Lu Ren, with his eyes narrowed, looked at Shangguan Yan, who had an expressionless face. Yue Lingxi's return was something that had been decided long ago.

Shangguan Yan had even discussed this with Tai'an Mansion. When the time came, Yue Lingxi could use Tai'an Mansion as a transit point.

But! Normally, the news from General Tai'an Mansion should have been reported back first, so why did Yue Lingxi arrive first?

There is no point in thinking about it further at this point. Even if something unexpected happens, Shangguan Yan is fully confident that his safety will be guaranteed before Youzhou and Yue Wuyou completely fall out.

Most importantly, he didn't believe that the Youzhou forces had any ability to break through the "cage" set up by Guannei Hou!

Moreover, even if the Shandong Commander cannot be won over by the Marquis, he will never allow any force to kill the Shandong Governor here on his own territory!

After receiving a signal from Shangguan Yan, Lu Ren assigned several clever servants to welcome Yue Lingxi into the mansion, although as the head of the family, he should have gone out to greet her in person!

But the current situation is unclear, even if it is a bit beyond the rules, this is the only way!

…

After a while, a team of more than fifty armored soldiers came into view.

Leading the way was a young-looking general, who walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, his eyes never looking sideways. There were bloodstains on his black armor. With the guards of the troops behind him, an inexplicable murderous aura rose from his dusty appearance!

Only those who have experienced fighting on the battlefield can see that the pair of people in front of them had obviously just experienced fighting on the battlefield not long ago!

Shangguan Luoyang clearly felt that Liu Buqi beside him relaxed his whole spirit after the black-armored general appeared in his sight!

The indifference and indifference in her eyes disappeared, revealing instead the gentleness of an ordinary woman!

The black-armored general, who had clearly seen the confrontation here, also quickened his pace, as if he couldn't see Shangguan Yan and Lu Ren standing in front of him, and led his men straight towards this side!

At this time, Xiao Junzi shouted excitedly: "General, General! The general is here!"

Before Shangguan Luoyang could react to which general it was, the black-armored soldiers and Liu Buqi's men had already gathered together!

The general, covered in blood, seemed to ignore his beautiful face and just hugged Liu Buqi who had already stood up!

"Don't give up, I'm coming!"

The Liu family, who stirred up the turmoil in Jinan, played with the huge Lu family in the palm of their hands, and made his father feel a little embarrassed!

She actually nestled in the broad arms of the black-armored general so easily, letting him put his big hands around her waist very naturally. She didn't look like a powerful and influential woman at all!

Three deafening shouts of "Kill! Kill! Kill!" came to my ears. These were the calls made by the extremely excited Yanjing cavalrymen around me as they struck their chest armor with their sabers in unison!

A crisp sound of killing, each sound shattered the courage of the barbarians! This was the soldiers welcoming their victorious general!

Shangguan Luoyang suddenly felt that the so-called Jinan talents who used to gather around him to recite poems and write couplets were so boring!

No wonder Liu Buqi could recite:

"In the hundred-foot tower west of the beacon-fired city, I stand alone at dusk, the autumn wind blows against the sea. I play the Qiang flute over the mountain moon, without the sorrow of the boudoir thousands of miles away."

Such verses!

A hero, even when he is in love, never shows any shyness! Everything is so direct and intense!

"Perhaps only a hero on the battlefield like this is worthy of such an outstanding and independent beauty!"

Shangguan Luoyang's little woman mentality will obviously not affect the situation that has begun to become clear!

"Shangguan, you brought the captain of the police and the yamen runners to the Lu family and besieged my wife! If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, you will never leave the Lu Mansion again!"

Although the situation has changed a bit, it is not beyond Shangguan Yan's expectations. However, the naked threat from the black-armored general in front of him is really confusing!

"General, this governor was invited by Lu Ren, the head of the Lu family, to help put out the fire at the Lu Mansion. I was simply arresting a group of knife-wielding bandits, but I absolutely do not deserve your censure!"

Yue Lingxi sneered, "Hmph! Do you, the governor, need to personally intervene in the Lu family's affairs? I think it's clearly the work of a thief who saw my wife's wealth at home for ancestral worship and wanted to rob her!"

"Tomorrow I will submit a memorial to the Emperor and report this matter to him! I want him to judge for us. A governor of a state bullying a weak woman is simply lawless!"

Shangguan Yan smiled bitterly. Regardless of whether Liu Buqi was a weak woman or not, it was obvious that this general was taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble!

Until now, I still don’t even know who he is!

Shangguan Yan's question was soon answered. Lu Xin, who had been hiding in Liu Buqi's room, ran out excitedly, "Xier? Is it Lingxi?"

The black-armored general responded quickly, snatched off the helmet from his head, and threw it to Zhang Xiruo beside him, revealing a handsome face that was somewhat similar to Lu Xin!

"Uncle, your Lingxi is back!"
