Chapter 207 Song of the Sky
Lu Yunzheng once thought that he had guessed all the truth last night.
The only thing he couldn't understand was why Xizhi had to bypass him and cooperate with Prince Xiang. Was it to become Prince Xiang's woman?
But he and Xizhi have been husband and wife for a long time. Doesn’t Prince Xiang care about this?
But now, with Jiang Xun's reminder, everything has a better explanation.
Because Xizhi and he were not loyal to the same person, so how could Xizhi reveal anything to him?
Moreover, Xizhi not only betrayed him, but also set a death trap for him long ago!
Lu Yunzheng's eyes were wide open, and at this moment there was only endless despair and fear in his eyes, and a bone-chilling chill.
At this time, Jiang Xun's voice came faintly: "When you saw General Lu off this time, did you tell him to be careful of the people around him?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzheng suddenly raised his head, his face pale.
The crisis occurred two years later. He thought it was far from over, and the Prince Xiang who was behind the scenes had been put under house arrest. He thought his father's life would no longer be in danger.
But...but if the one really behind the scenes is Prince Rui, then...
Lu Yunzheng could no longer sit still and was about to lift the curtain to get out, but Jiang Xun waved his hand.
"No matter how bad you are, General Lu defends his country and his loyalty is admirable."
"General Shen can't just sit there and watch. He has already discussed this with General Lu in detail."
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, cold sweat rolled down his forehead and he was still frightened.
It's his fault.
He was still relying on what he knew from his previous life, and was blinded by one thing, so he didn't even see who the real enemy was from beginning to end!
"Sir, we have arrived at Chaotian Street."
The reminder of the south wind was heard outside.
He couldn't quite hear what was being said in the car, but there was nothing unusual, which meant that Lu Yunzheng was relatively well behaved.
For some unknown reason, the young master suddenly took Chaotian Street when going to court these days, and he was also ordered to stop at Chaotian Street.
This was actually a detour, but the young master always had a deep meaning in his actions, so he didn't ask and just did as he was told.
"Well, stop for a moment."
Jiang Xun's voice was heard from the car.
Upon hearing this, Nanfeng got out of the car and waited on the side, not daring to disturb his own master.
Inside the car.
Jiang Xun looked at Lu Yunzheng who was in a trance and said calmly: "Mr. Lu, you should know the truth that the lips and teeth are cold."
As both are military families, General Shen and General Lu are such good brothers.
When the Shen family was framed in the previous life, General Lu had already died. If the Shen family encounters disaster again in this life, General Lu will definitely not stand idly by.
Lu Yunzheng felt extremely tired at the moment, and he understood what Jiang Xun meant.
Now they have the same enemy, and his father, whom he cares about most, is on Shen Zhengsheng's side no matter what.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng said miserably: "Now as long as I can protect my father and the Lu family, I have nothing else to ask for."
Jiang Xun got the answer he wanted, made a gesture to see the guest off, and said calmly:
"Then please continue to be 'ignorant'. If you want to protect General Lu and the Lu family, you will have to show your skills."
"Of course, if Mr. Lu is not competent——"
"You don't have to use provocation. I'm not stupid enough to not see your intention. You are in the emperor's grandson's camp. If you overthrow Prince Rui, you will be the biggest winner."
Lu Yunzheng's face turned pale, and he said this coldly, but there was a sense of powerlessness in his voice.
Jiang Xun said calmly: "We each take what we need."
Lu Yunzheng lifted the curtain and got out of the car. Just as he was about to take a step, Jiang Xun's ambiguous voice came from behind him:
"Master Lu, do you know the "Song of Chaotian"?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzheng looked back at Jiang Xun in confusion, but half of his face was hidden in the shadow of the car curtain and he could not see clearly.
Lu Yunzheng was confused at the moment and had no intention of exploring further, so he turned around and left.
It was not yet fully light outside.
Some vendors have already started setting up stalls on Chaotian Street, ready to welcome early-bird diners, with wisps of smoke rising from the stoves.
There were some traveling merchants who had gotten up early, carrying goods and driving mules and horses, preparing to leave the city to do business.
There were also some people walking in a hurry, wearing simple clothes, and seemed to be rushing to do chores or work in workshops.
Lu Yunzheng staggered, blending into the crowd of people busy making a living, looking so out of place.
Jiang Xun looked past them and far towards the end of Chaotian Street, and saw a blurry huge monster in the darkness in the distance.
Everyone in the world knows "Chaotian Ge", which is an old story from the end of the previous dynasty.
There is a Chaotian Street in the capital city. At the end of the street is the Chaotian Steps, which lead directly to the Chaotian Gate of the Imperial Palace.
The last emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent and tyrannical, causing the people to live in misery.
Old Censor Shi was an upright person all his life. When he saw that the emperor was incompetent and the country was in danger, he started from the beginning of Chaotian Street, knelt to the end of Chaotian Street, and then knelt on the Chaotian Steps, shouting out advice and criticizing the current ills all the way.
It was a pity that he was old and weak, and he knelt with difficulty all the way. Finally, he was exhausted on the Chaotian Steps and died of vomiting blood.
After Emperor Taizu of the Sheng Dynasty heard about this, he ordered people to compose the "Chaotian Song" to warn and warn future generations to be wise rulers and put the people of the world first.
In his previous life, when he was at his wit's end, he followed Censor Shi's example and knelt all the way up the Chaotian Steps with the determination to die.
When Censor Shi climbed the stairs, the people praised him and felt sorry for him. They offered him water and food and surrounded him to protect him.
However, because of the Shen family's notoriety of treason, every time she went there, the people along the way would throw dirty things at her.
The young children, ignorant and naive, also started throwing stones, hitting her head and causing it to bleed, and they laughed and called her a traitor.
She shouted loudly to protest her injustice, not daring to stop for a moment. Her legs were covered in blood as she knelt, and a trail of blood was left behind her.
On the day of proposing marriage, Sui Sui had told him about this matter in a casual manner, and he had a dream about it some time ago.
In his dream, he heard that the girl from the Shen family was walking on her knees in Chaotian Street, and he hurried there from the Dali Temple.
Standing at the intersection of Chaotian Street, he saw a bloody road spreading forward, accompanied by dripping blood and filth on the ground.
The steps to heaven are steep and long.
It was stained with years of blood and was covered with her bloody handprints.
The matter became a big deal, and the imperial guards were sent from the palace to beat her down the Chaotian Steps.
She struggled and shouted, fell down again and again, and crawled forward again and again, until her body was covered in blood and she lost consciousness.
Standing at the intersection of Chaotian Street at this moment, Jiang Xun closed his eyes slightly, and the figure of Shen Jiasui seemed to appear in front of him again.
She knelt forward with difficulty, blood flowing from her broken forehead, blurring her eyes and sliding down her cheek.
The people along the way could be heard spitting and cursing at her, and some even took the opportunity to rush forward and push her hard.
But Suisui was such a stubborn person that she would never attack the common people. She would definitely struggle to kneel down again and continue moving forward.
He could even imagine that the fabric at her knees was worn out, and the stones on the road were embedded in her wounds, tearing her flesh into pieces and sticking them together with the cloth...
Jiang Xun's eyes suddenly turned red.
Every imaginable detail was like a sharp blade, stabbing into his heart.
No one can forgive Lu Yunzheng for Sui Sui, and he——
Jiang Xun's eyes were filled with anger.
Just now Lu Yunzheng asked: "Do you, Jiang Xun, dare to say that you are perfect and have never made a mistake?"
No, of course not.
Jiang Xun is selfish and has personal desires. He can even be more ruthless than anyone else when it comes to scheming and using tricks.
He just doesn't want to, but sometimes there are exceptions.
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
Right, Lu Yunzheng.
