Lu Zifeng was watching in the room and was amused. Why didn't he realize before that this kid was actually a martial arts fanatic? In order to find an opponent, he ignored everything else. Fortunately, Lu Qiu and others were reliable, otherwise he would have to do it himself.
After watching for a while, Lu Zifeng felt helpless and had to leave the room and go up to the roof.
"Lu Ziyan, if you're still playing around here within ten breaths, I'll let you go back to the capital lying down."
Lu Ziyan was fighting excitedly, as he had finally found someone who could fight against him. However, when he heard his elder brother's words, he knew that his elder brother was not joking, so he immediately said.
"Brother, don't worry, I promise to finish him off within ten breaths."
The man was startled when he suddenly heard the sound coming from the roof. He quickly looked at the roof, but he only saw a black shadow. It was dark, and although it had snowed, he could not see clearly in the dark.
At this moment, Lu Qiu, Lu Dong and others also dealt with those people, which made the people who came out of the opposite room look at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that they came out too late, and only one person was left being beaten by the young man in the opposite room!
Lu Zifeng glanced at the room opposite without saying anything. He was now paying attention to his younger brother Lu Ziyan.
After three breaths, the man also fell to the ground, deader than dead. Lu Zifeng got off the roof and looked around.
"Let's deal with this place! There's such a big commotion here, and no one from the government has come. It seems that Ruzhou Prefecture is not a good place!"
Lu Zifeng said as he walked back to the house.
"Lu Ziyan, come with me."
When Lu Ziyan heard his elder brother calling him to come into the house, he followed him in. As soon as they reached the door of the house, they met Yun Zhaolin who was walking out of the house. When Yun Zhaolin saw the two brothers Lu Zifeng, he hurriedly saluted with his fists.
"Greetings to the two Lu princes. I am Yun Zhaolin, the son of the Marquis of Jing'an in the capital. I greet you two and thank you for saving my life."
Lu Zifeng looked at Yun Zhaolin in confusion. He knew Marquis Jing'an. The current Marquis Jing'an was the father of Yun Zhaolin in front of him. Marquis Jing'an's father, Yun Zhaolin's grandfather, died on the battlefield to protect his great-grandfather.
After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Marquis of Jing'an on Yun Zhaolin's father. Marquis Jing'an was only three years old at that time. When Marquis Jing'an was eighteen years old, Emperor Taizu arranged for him to marry a wife. However, for some reason, Marquis Jing'an had no children for many years after marriage. It was not until he was nearly forty years old that he gave birth to his eldest son, Yun Zhaolin. Three years later, he gave birth to another son and a daughter.
Yun Zhaolin is the eldest son, the Marquis of Jing'an, and he and Lu Ziyan are both the Marquis's sons.
Lu Zifeng nodded.
"You are too polite, Prince Yun. I think what happened tonight is aimed at you, Prince Yun! You'd better be more careful."
Yun Zhaolin smiled helplessly.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Master Lu. Actually, it's not hard to guess. It must have been my half-brother's doing. I've experienced a lot over the years, but I have no talent for martial arts, so I only survived by relying on my bodyguards."
Before Lu Zifeng could speak, Lu Ziyan beside him asked curiously.
"So that villain Yun Zhaofeng is your brother. I was wondering if there was some similarity between your eyebrows."
Yun Zhaolin was also stunned when he heard this and forced a smile.
"So the Prince of Cheng'en Marquisate also knows about my illegitimate brother?"
Lu Ziyan chuckled.
"Well, I dealt with that guy quite a bit some time ago, and now I know that he actually sent someone to assassinate you. However, from what I know, he probably doesn't have the brains to do it, right?"
When Yun Zhaolin heard Lu Ziyan's evaluation of his younger brother, he was not angry, but nodded in agreement.
"He doesn't have that kind of brain, because he has a good mother. His mother is the one who leads all these things."
Yun Zhaolin looked at the guard and said.
"You two have worked hard today. You should go back and rest first! I will take care of this."
After returning to the house, Lu Zifeng said to Lu Ziyan.
"Go back to sleep. This Ruzhou Prefecture looks very complicated. You'd better behave yourself and go home tomorrow."
The next morning, just after dawn, Lu Ziyan was woken up by Lu Zifeng.
"Hurry up and go back to the capital after dinner."
Today's breakfast was not eaten in the room, but in the lobby downstairs. The innkeeper walked directly to Lu Zifeng and knelt down to express his gratitude.
It turned out that after the shopkeeper got up in the morning, the waiter took him for a walk around the inn and found out that the entire inn was almost burned down last night. If the guests living upstairs had not been alert, not only himself, but the entire inn would have been ruined.
Lu Zifeng pulled the man up.
"It's okay, they're all minor matters. After all, it's us who got you into trouble. I'm glad you don't blame us."
After breakfast, Lu Zifeng took Lu Ziyan and prepared to go to the capital.
Watching the Lu brothers leave, Yun Zhaolin didn't say anything. He knew why Lu Zifeng didn't want to have a close relationship with him, so he just smiled and didn't care.
"Sir, isn't this Prince Lu a little too arrogant? After all, you are also the prince of the Marquisate, and your status is not lower than his!"
Yun Zhaolin chuckled.
"I know why he doesn't want to be close to me. Isn't it because of my father who favors his concubine over his wife? His actions over the years have made him a laughing stock in the capital. Do you think there is any noble or official who would still be willing to associate with him?"
"If I want to have a friend in the capital, I have to give up my status as the heir of the Jing'an Marquisate. But I'm unwilling to do so. My mother is in poor health. If I leave the Marquisate, she might not survive. Moreover, in this world, a father can have no children, but a child cannot have a child who wants to sever ties with his father. That would be a blow to my mother as well. So I can only endure this for now. I think that in three to five years at most, I can take my mother away from the Marquisate."
The guard looked at Yun Zhaolin and sighed helplessly in his heart: The prince has a really difficult life. The marquis has used his wife to hold the prince hostage. For the sake of his wife, the prince can only temporarily endure the harassment of the marquis's concubine.
How could Yun Zhaolin not know the reluctance of his guard, so he smiled and comforted him.
"Don't worry! Let's set off back to the capital! If we leave now, we should be able to reach the capital by evening."
The two brothers Lu Zifeng and Lu Ziyan just stopped to eat something at noon, and finally arrived at the south gate of the capital at 3:00 p.m. However, before they entered the city, Lu Ziyan was shouting there.
"Brother, look, father and third brother are over there, they are distributing porridge!"
Lu Zifeng looked in the direction of Lu Ziyan's whip, and it was indeed his father and his third brother. They were watching the servants giving porridge to the victims.
