Chapter 401 So he remembered, Sixth Brother is really amazing.
Lu Zhong rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then strode forward and shouted excitedly.
"Your Highness?"
Both Shen Chu and Pei Yuan were stunned.
"Uncle Zhong, what do you call him?"
Lu Zhong took another step forward, staring blankly at Pei Yuan, and murmured:
"So alike, so very alike."
Shen Chu was taken aback, her gaze slowly tracing Pei Yuan's face.
Lu Zhan's face gradually surfaced in my mind.
That was Lu Zhan's face from ten years ago, and it did indeed bear a four or five-point resemblance to Pei Yuan's current face.
She also noticed this when she first met Pei Yuan.
Thinking about it later, it's understandable that Pei Yuan and Lu Zhan look alike since they are cousins.
Lu Zhong had obviously thought of this as well, and the excitement on his face faded. He even muttered something under his breath.
"What a waste of a face that looks like a prince."
Pei Yuan's face immediately darkened.
He didn't want to look like Lu Zhan, otherwise what would happen if A Chu thought of Lu Zhan when she saw his face?
As if sensing his thoughts, Shen Chu reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
"Sixth Brother, he is Uncle Zhong, one of the four deputy generals under Uncle Lu."
Pei Yuan glanced at Shen Chu's hand tugging at his sleeve, and his expression softened slightly.
"So you're the deputy general by my uncle's side. I'll call you Uncle Zhong like A-Chu does."
Lu Zhong already harbored resentment towards him, and now he was even more hostile towards him.
“Lu Zhong is a crude and uncouth warrior. How could he be qualified for His Highness Prince Rui to call him Uncle?”
Pei Yuan frowned. "You have a problem with me? Say it to my face, don't be sarcastic."
Lu Zhong snorted, "Then let's go outside and talk."
Shen Chu quickly replied, "Uncle Zhong."
Pei Yuan patted her arm, signaling her to calm down, and then gestured for Lu Zhong to follow him.
“Let’s talk in the yard.”
Shen Chu watched the two walk out one after the other, shook her head, and did not stop them.
Uncle Zhong has a fiery temper and can't keep things to himself. If we don't let him speak today, he'll inevitably continue to be sarcastic and sarcastic when he sees Pei Yuan in the future.
She simply picked up Yuanbao, leaned against the window, petted the cat, and listened intently to the sounds coming from the yard.
In the pavilion.
Pei Yuan looked at Lu Zhong calmly, "What do you want to say?"
Lu Zhong stared intently at his face, his anger barely contained, and blurted out:
"Your Highness, as the high-ranking commander of the Flying Eagle Guard, who oversees all officials, you are awe-inspiring. Do you still remember that your mother was born into the Lu family?"
Do you still remember your uncle who treated you like his own son, your loving aunt, and your cousin who taught you martial arts when you were little?
Pei Yuan frowned slightly but remained silent.
Ten years ago, when he woke up in the palace, he couldn't remember anything from before.
Now, all he has in his mind are memories of the past ten years in the capital; he doesn't even remember what his uncle, the Duke of Zhenguo, looks like.
Not to mention his aunt and cousin Lu Zhan.
He tried to recall the memory, but his head felt like it was being pricked with needles, and he experienced excruciating pain.
It was as if a layer of bloody mist had covered my vision, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
He quickly opened his eyes and rubbed his temples vigorously.
Lu Zhong misunderstood his meaning and sneered repeatedly.
“You don’t remember them at all. If you did, you wouldn’t have gone to pay your respects to them once in the past ten years.”
If you remember them, you will feel the tragic loss of the Duke, the Heir Apparent, and the Lu family army on the battlefield.
If you remembered them, you wouldn't have allowed the imperial court to ignore the families of the fallen Lu family soldiers, who didn't even receive a single tael of compensation.
Pei Yuan's gaze was deep. "Is it because of these things that you have a problem with me?"
"Shouldn't I have a problem with you? The Lu family army is loyal and devoted, even to the point of dying on the battlefield. They not only receive no honors after their deaths, but their families also have to endure hunger and hardship."
"You, as the commander of the Flying Eagle Guard, won't even say a word for the Lu family army?"
Lu Zhong slammed his fist heavily against a pillar in the pavilion, his face filled with inexplicable grief and indignation.
An angry voice rang out from behind.
"How do you know that my prince has not spoken up for the Lu family army?"
Lu Zhong turned around and saw a tall young man standing behind him.
The man had a scar the length of a finger near his eye, which made him look somewhat fierce.
"Who are you?"
"Du Song, His Highness's personal guard."
Du Song stepped forward, pulled a stack of papers from his pocket, and tossed them over.
"Take a look at this."
Lu Zhong opened the paper.
Zhang Sanfeng was originally a soldier under Lu Jing in the Second Battalion of the Lu Family Army.
Niu Tianci was originally a soldier under Lu Bao in the Third Battalion of the Lu Family Army.
......
Lu Zhong's hand trembled slightly as he quickly flipped through the paper.
A dozen or so sheets of paper, filled with one name after another.
Some were unfamiliar, some were familiar.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but tear up, "This is..."
Du Song snorted, "These are all former members of the Lu family army. Back then, they were ordered by the Duke of Zhenguo to escort the people of Liangzhou out of the city first, thus saving their lives."
Two years ago, the first thing His Highness did after taking over the Flying Eagle Guard was to send me secretly into Liangzhou.
The first step was to secretly investigate the surviving members of the Lu Family Army, and the second step was to find the relatives of the wounded and killed soldiers of the Lu Family Army.
Your Highness has raised the issue of compensation for the wounded and killed soldiers of the Lu Family Army with His Majesty several times, but His Majesty disagrees and even punishes Your Highness with a cane for it.
Later, after His Highness built Qingfeng Tower and Jinyu Tower, most of the profits were sent to Liangzhou to secretly support the relatives of the Lu family army.
If you don't believe me, you can go back to Liangzhou and investigate.
Lu Zhong's full beard trembled as he stared blankly at Pei Yuan, his eyes gradually reddening.
He stomped his foot and knelt down with a thud.
“Your Highness, I, Lu Zhong, am a rough man and don’t know how to say anything superfluous. I kowtow to you for your support of the Lu family army and their relatives.”
After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in a row.
"So... So Your Highness remembers everything. I misunderstood Your Highness."
Pei Yuan reached out to help Lu Zhong up, saying, "Uncle Zhong, there's no need for that."
Lu Zhong looked guilty and rubbed his hands awkwardly.
His voice was quite loud, and since Shen Chu was openly eavesdropping, he overheard most of the story.
She stood by the window, beckoning to Pei Yuan and Lu Zhong.
"Since we've already talked it out, let's go inside and talk."
As soon as the two entered the house, Lu Zhong couldn't help but tell Shen Chu again everything Pei Yuan had done for the Lu family army.
Shen Chu was deeply moved.
"Sixth Brother..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Pei Yuan suddenly turned his head and looked at her fiercely.
"You are not allowed to thank me. This is a matter for the Lu family."
Shen Chu paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
What a petty man.
"Well, I won't say thank you. I just want to say that Sixth Brother, you're really amazing."
Pei Yuan's ears turned red, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Ah Chu praised him.
Feeling delighted by the praise, Pei Yuan's gaze towards Lu Zhong softened considerably.
"Du Song has reorganized the old troops of the Lu family army. Uncle Zhong, you can go back and take a look when you have time."
"Okay, okay." Lu Zhong choked up. "I'll go back once I find the young master and the third young master Shen."
Speaking of this, Shen Chu quickly asked, "How did it go when you went out to inquire?"
Did you see the guard of the Marquis of Anding with your own eyes?
