Chapter 143 Skull
Old Mrs. Pei fell to the ground.
She held Pei Yaozu's hand tightly: "We are obviously a family, a family."
"Why fight and kill?"
"Yunniang, Yunniang, you are the softest-hearted one. This is your uncle. Yaozu is the only child of the Pei family. He cannot die. Yaozu is the only child."
"With only one man..."
Old Mrs. Pei tried to persuade Mrs. Xu.
"Yunniang, will you listen to me? If you do, I will still treat you as the daughter-in-law of the Lu family." Old Mrs. Pei stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Xu's hand.
"You tell Yanshu, Yanshu will listen to you."
"If you spare Yaozu, I'll let Yuanze come back to see you, how about that?" Old Mrs. Pei looked at her expectantly.
Mrs. Xu is a love-brained person. She likes Yuanze and regards Yuanze's words as the emperor's decree.
Mrs. Xu pushed Mrs. Pei away with an indifferent look.
"Pei Yaozu is such a ruthless person who harmed my son, and you still want to forgive him? I just wish I could chop him into pieces!"
"Only son? His inferior incense would be eliminated if it were cut off, which would be a disaster for the people."
"At that time, Yanshu was still the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion. His crime of murdering the eldest son is even more serious. I ask Lord Zhong to sentence him severely!" Xu ignored Old Pei's crying and had a cold expression.
Immediately, Lord Zhong arrested Pei Yaozu and pronounced the verdict.
At that time, Lu Yanshu was still the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion, and he was directly charged with murder and sentenced to be executed in the autumn.
When Mrs. Pei heard this, she fell to the ground and fainted.
Xu raised her hand to wipe her tears, ignoring the wailing of the marquis.
The Xu family also supported my sister in the hall. Now that they returned home, my aunt and Mrs. Xu wiped their tears.
"Yan Shu was blessed with a good life and good fortune after all the hardships. Fortunately, they got divorced."
"It's a pity that Lu Jinghuai escaped..." everyone sighed.
Xu Yiting looked at his nephew. In just half a year, Lu Yanshu had grown to a level that amazed him.
"Lu Jinghuai's poems are excellent, but in the imperial examinations, essays are more important than poems."
"Your uncle has read your policy paper. He is far inferior to you."
"This time, I'm afraid that the loyal and brave marquis may have lost the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds."
Lu Yanshu and Xu Yiting were chatting in the study.
The hostage Xuan Jichuan stood obediently behind Chao Chao, wiping Chao Chao's hands and mouth from time to time.
Xu Yiting glanced at it.
"Dong Ling has repeatedly offended Bei Zhao, and the proton has found a protective umbrella."
"If it weren't for Chao Chao, he would have been killed if the war had started. A dead end had allowed him to find a way out."
"After the defeat of Dongling this time, the general will have to return to the imperial court in the next few days. I'm afraid the hostage's life will be even more difficult. Following Chaochao, at least no one dares to humiliate him."
Lu Yanshu chuckled: "Even if he met Chao Chao, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't protect him."
"Speaking of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is somewhat..." Xu Yiting always felt that the Crown Prince was too attentive to Chaochao, and even subtly praised Chaochao above himself.
"Don't worry, uncle. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be truly protecting Chao Chao." Lu Yanshu saw with his own eyes that day that the Crown Prince's temperament changed drastically that day, and he screamed at people to leave his body.
It was Chao Chao who gave his soul peace of mind.
He was almost possessed by someone.
This is also the reason why he did not stop the prince from contacting Chao Chao.
"Your second uncle will return to Beijing next month. I'm afraid he will be promoted. You'll have to thank Chao Chao then."
If it weren't for eavesdropping on Chao Chao's thoughts and averting the danger during the Linluo flood, the Linluo dike would have burst and Master Xu's life would have been in danger.
Lu Yanshu smiled tenderly: "Chao Chao doesn't even know that we can eavesdrop on her thoughts."
The two smiled at each other and said, "Next month, uncle will wait for the good news from Yanshu."
The Xu family had dinner before returning home.
As soon as he left, the servant came hurriedly to report.
"Madam, the general who guards the country has returned to the capital, and General Rong has sent a visiting card."
"The general is waiting outside the door and wants to visit you." The servant scratched his head.
It's not a good idea to come to see the lady so late at night, right?
But seeing that the general was exhausted and his eyes were full of expectation, he couldn't help but refuse.
Xu coughed lightly, and Lu Yanshu said with a smile: "It's late today, let me go to see the general." He muttered in his heart, why did General Rong come to the Lu family instead of returning to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?
I had never heard that General Rong knew my mother before?
Lu Chaochao chuckled and followed with his short legs.
[The general who guards the country?] I have memories of him...】
[According to his original fate, he returned to the capital without an imperial edict to collect the bodies of the Xu family, his mother, and everyone else. 】
[He was originally a loyal minister, but because the entire Xu family was executed, he... betrayed the country and defected from Beizhao, and followed Xuan Jichuan to attack Beizhao! 】
[Oh, never get married in your life, and be alone until death. 】
[He likes his mother.] But my mother is a love-brained person...】 Lu Yanshu paused, took a deep breath, and then calmed himself down.
When Lu Yanshu arrived at the front yard, he saw a tall and majestic man wearing silver armor standing in the house.
The armor glowed coldly under the moonlight.
He was not as elegant and gentle as Lu Yuanze. He was full of murderous aura, but it was well restrained in his eyes.
He was not as eloquent as Lu Yuanze and seemed a little clumsy.
The general who would never give up an inch on the battlefield, when he saw Lu Yanshu, he took a step back nervously.
He glanced furtively behind him.
"She didn't come...don't look at her." The little guy shouted crisply.
General Rong is so tall that Lu Chaochao is not even as tall as his legs.
"Ah, I didn't see your mother." General Rong waved his hands and refused repeatedly.
"Wo didn't say he was going to see his mother..." Lu Chaochao said faintly.
The general came to his senses, his body stiffened and his mouth tightly shut.
If it weren't for his dark skin, you would have seen his flushed face.
It turned red all the way to my ears.
He paused: "I heard that your mother got divorced? It's really... uh..." He tried to straighten the corners of his mouth, looking sad.
"Oh, what a misfortune." The corners of his mouth curved wildly.
"Uncle, you are laughing so happily." Lu Chaochao exposed him without hesitation.
The tall man scratched his head anxiously, thinking about the sad thing a thousand times, and restraining himself from laughing out loud.
"I...I..." He was so anxious that he was sweating all over. He had clearly rehearsed the speech a thousand times on the way, but why couldn't he say it out loud?
"I'm your mother's friend. My name is Rong Che." General Rong looked at Lu Yanshu and the other person with burning eyes, as if he was looking at someone through this face.
"Are you Yanshu?"
"You are Chao Chao, right?"
"It's our first meeting, and I haven't prepared any gift. Here..." General Rong looked at Lu Chaochao, thought for a while, and took out a gift from his arms.
"This is for you. It's very meaningful. It's the skull of a tyrant that was left behind when we conquered the tyrant."
The cold and pale skull looked quite creepy under the moonlight.
"This is the tyrant's skull, and there is only one in the world." General Rong stuffed it into Lu Chaochao's arms.
He returned to Beijing in a hurry today, and the only thing he could bring with him was the tyrant's skull.
"If you have any difficulties, you can come to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to find me."
"This is a token of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
After saying this, the general who was decisive and ruthless on the battlefield fled in panic.
Lu Yanshu holds the jade pendant.
Lu Chaochao holds the skull.
Lu Chaochao? ! !
