Chapter 66
In the heavy rain, the sword in the hand of the young Hengyang King Liu Mu moved forward little by little. Thunder and lightning flashed from the sky, reflecting the young man's pale, handsome, yet determined face.
Actually, I'm a little reluctant.
He was unwilling to commit murder. Lu Erlang was a simple, weak scholar. Although he always pestered him to promote his cousin, he had never done anything to annoy others. At most, he was annoying. But it was not wrong for people to be annoying. When he knew that his brother wanted to harm him, and when the whole world seemed to be an enemy, the servant left by Lu Erlang waiting at the alley comforted Liu Mu's heart. The lantern in the servant's hand calmed Liu Mu's violent temper, allowing him to return home safely. Return to the mansion, lick the wounds by himself, and finally decide how to deal with the royal brother who wanted to kill him.
In a way, Liu Mu even thanked Lu Xian. However, however... the hut was surrounded by Liu Mu's men, who broke in. Liu Mu thrust his sword forward, and Lu Xian stepped back with a pale face. Lu Xian explained anxiously: "You misunderstood! I just want to know what happened in the middle, why you became like that... but I don't care what you are going to do!"
He just wanted to know what happened between Liu Mu and Cousin Luo. Only if he knew, could he save the relationship. In the dream, Cousin Luo was pitiful, but Liu Mu was not happy. No one got the best result. His dream was what he saw with his vision. After all, a dream was a dream, and it was hazy and blurry. He had to investigate in reality, so that he could...
But his words sounded like a parody to Liu Mu. The young man bent his lip and said sarcastically, "It has come to this point, why are you still afraid to speak? I want to kill the king, isn't that a great rebellion in the eyes of Lu Erlang?"
Lu Xian: "I know there must be a misunderstanding, there must be a reason, you are not that kind of person..." If the King of Hengyang is really a cruel person, he has offended Liu Mu so many times, and Liu Mu will not just be annoyed by him. If the King of Hengyang is a cruel person, when he thought that the King of Chen assassinated him, his reaction would not just be to target the King of Chen in the government...
The only brother he trusted, the brother who always cared for him and took care of him, the brother who was the source of all his strength, was different from the ordinary royal children who competed with him for the throne.
Liu Mu was very sad. If his only brother in the world wanted to kill him, and his mother was an accomplice, who could he trust?
Staring at Lu Xian's sincere eyes and watching him eagerly explain, the young Liu Mu was nonchalant again: "I don't believe anything you say. I don't believe anyone now... You really meddle in other people's business. When you came to my house and saw those Taoists that day, although I had doubts in my heart, you shouldn't have cared too much. You are the second son of the Lu family, and I will pretend that you don't know. What can I do to you? You insist on finding out the reason, then even if you are the second son of the Lu family, I will have to take action against you, even if I am an enemy of the Lu family..."
Lu Xian's eyes narrowed suddenly - become an enemy of the Lu family!
He instantly thought of the Lu family's wrath after his third brother passed away in his dream. At that time, the Lu family believed that the emperor was the driving force behind the Lu Sanlang incident, and the Lu family turned against the emperor. The famous families of Jianye joined hands to fight against the new emperor. Neither side had reached the top of the power, and neither side was willing to give up the power in their hands. It was this kind of internal friction that delayed national affairs and caused the South to be surrounded by the North's army...
Could it be that something happened to Lu Saburo in the dream, and because of his several small changes in reality, he became the one who got into trouble?
Is Liu Mu destined to break up with the aristocratic family? !
Lu Xian's heart sank. The sword in Liu Mu's hand had already pointed at his chest, and it was icy cold. He was not completely worried about his own safety. He was still trying to persuade: "You can't kill me! I am a direct descendant of the Lu family. If I die, the result will be different from that of an ordinary Lu family member. No matter how well you hide it, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. The Lu family will definitely know. You will be condemned by thousands of people and regarded as an enemy by the aristocratic family. Your future will be ruined..."
Liu Mu narrowed his eyes. When he heard him talk about "aristocratic family", he became more certain that he could not keep this man.
Liu Mu: "I'm sorry, the person who knows such a big secret of mine, either stays with me forever to make me feel at ease, or I send him to death... I am not at ease with a young man from the Lu family staying with me, and I can't stand on the same side of interests with your family. Lu Erlang, you are a good person, but I still want to kill you."
He hardened his heart and lowered his eyes, not looking at Lu Erlang's pleading eyes, not listening to his excuses. He regarded Lu Erlang as an enemy, and although he felt a little bit reluctant, he held the sword very firmly. As soon as he finished speaking, "stab", the sword tip cut through the man's chest and stabbed inside, blood spurted out -
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a guard came over from the side and rushed towards Liu Mu's sword. This guard was Lu Erlang's Lu Xian's man. After the arrival of King Hengyang, his men captured all the guards who followed Lu Erlang. But how could the guards be willing to see their own master die? No matter what, these guards could not escape the difficulties today. If Lu Erlang was alive, he would comfort their families for them. With Lu Erlang's character, their families would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives; if Lu Erlang was gone, they would have no hope at all!
The guard charged at Liu Mu's sword, and powerfully knocked away the thin Lu Erlang. Liu Mu was startled, and when he looked up, he saw a dark shadow rushing towards him. He frowned, turned the sword tip, and instinctively lowered his wrist to strike, and the guard who suddenly rushed over died in his hands. Before the guard died, he shouted: "Protect my lord!"
The other guards who were captured in the house had the same mentality. Seeing that someone was dead, they broke free from the grasp of the Hengyang King's men, fought back, and rushed to the bloody Lu Erlang and Lu Xian. Several guards lifted Lu Erlang and cooperated well. One of them broke through the window and escaped, while the others cleaned up the mess and fought with the Hengyang King's men who chased out. When Liu Mu was stunned, several guards had already jumped out of the window with their lover. Liu Mu chased out of the house and saw several dark figures carrying Lu Erlang on their backs and escaping into the depths of the woods in the lightning and rain.
Liu Mu: “Chase!”
"Now that things have come to this, no one can be spared!"
Lu Xian was arrogant. As a young man from an aristocratic family, he didn't care about the emperor's power. This made him act without caution and even hurt the people around him. Now that he knew Liu Mu wanted to kill him, he had no choice but to run away desperately. There were only him and a few guards in the woods. He kept hiding and running, but there were dozens or even hundreds of pursuers behind him. Liu Mu would never let him leave and expose what happened tonight.
