Lu Xingyan's laughter was particularly loud in the hall. Prince Su's face darkened and his tone became unhappy, "Mr. Lu San, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
Lu Qing did not stop her. He felt sorry for his granddaughter and was annoyed by this, but due to the situation, there were some things he could not say.
It is true that the Lu family cannot afford to offend Prince Su in their current situation, as it would bring disaster.
In order to consider the overall situation, the youngest son can say those things that he cannot say.
Lu Xingyan reached out to wipe the tears from his niece's face and turned to Prince Su, "I thought the prince was meeting my father today to discuss something important, so my father brought me here."
"The younger generation in the family has suffered, but the prince wants to send my father away with twenty strokes of the cane. Does he think my father is only worth these twenty strokes of the cane?"
Prince Su pursed his lips slightly. One would never have guessed that Lu Qing's youngest son was such a sharp-tongued person.
"Mr. Lu San, you are joking. Twenty strokes of the cane are not light. They can't get off the bed now. How about I order people to carry them here and apologize to Miss Lu in person?"
Gu Xingzhao laughed out loud. Even a fool could guess how it was possible that those people were really beaten.
Prince Su said this only because he was certain that Lu Qing and Lu Xingyan would not really let him carry the person out.
But Lu Xingyan was not a man who played by the rules. He looked at Lu Qing who remained silent and said, "Father, I think our Lu family is losing power now, and anyone can step on us."
Prince Su frowned. What else did Lu San want to say?
Lu Qing looked at his youngest son and felt that he had brought the right person today. If it was the eldest son, he would have been humiliated by now. If it was the second son, he would have bumped into Prince Su and started to scold him.
Prince Su is not our ancestor, so Sun Tzu's methods are of no use to him.
Only the youngest son was neither humble nor arrogant in front of Prince Su, and he was quite eloquent.
Lu Xingyan looked disappointed. "I thought the prince was a reasonable man, but I didn't expect that he couldn't even get justice for Youtang being injured like this. Does father have to stay here and be hated by others?"
Lu Qingyu choked, looked at his granddaughter, then at his son, and then at Prince Su. It was obvious that his son's words touched his heart, and he felt quite insulted.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my impoliteness. I am afraid that I will not be able to talk with you today. Please let me and the younger generation leave together!"
Having said that, he was about to leave with his son and granddaughter.
Hearing the meaning of Lu Qing's words, Prince Su immediately became anxious, "Wait a minute, Lord!"
What Lu Qing and his son said just now meant that they were willing to surrender, but they were unhappy because Miss Lu was injured. They thought that the twenty strokes of the cane were too light and felt humiliated, so they were disappointed.
Although he wanted to protect those men who had followed him for many years, these people were incomparable to Lu Qing.
As long as Lu Qing was willing to surrender to him and help him win the world and the hearts of the people, let alone a few men, even those around him who had made great contributions, what's the harm in killing them! ?
Only the one in the capital could not see the situation clearly, did not know the will of the people, and regarded the Lu family as a thorn in his side.
Little did they know that whoever gets Lu Qing would win the hearts of the people of the world.
A king who has lost the support of the people will be conquered by all the people in the world.
What Xiao Lan wanted was not only the chair, but also the hearts of all the people in the world. He wanted to surpass his father and become an emperor revered by future generations in history books.
Let my father know that he chose the wrong person back then.
The one who should be sitting on that chair is himself, not him, Xiao Zhan. How could a thing born by a lowly palace girl be worthy of competing with him for it?!
Others dared not look directly at Prince Su, but no one could see Gu Xingzhao. She could look at anyone she wanted, even if she put her face close to him, no one would notice.
When he saw the cruelty in his eyes, Gu Xingzhao was shocked. It was not his illusion, this man was indeed sinister. It was no wonder that the late emperor chose Xiao Zhan. After all, what good thing could be picked out from a trash can?
She is now more optimistic about Shunyu from the bottom of her heart. If the little princess works hard, she may be able to defeat both of her royal brothers in the future.
Prince Su quickly had the four men who had kidnapped Lu Youtang brought to the hall and made them kneel in front of Lu Qing and the others to apologize.
These four people can be considered as his confidants, and handing them over to Lu Qing is already the greatest sincerity he can show.
In case Lu Qing and his son couldn't see it, he said in a deep voice: "These four people, whether to kill or chop them up, it's all up to you, the elder. I won't say a word."
The four men froze, but they didn't want to die.
At this time, Lu Qing was not in a position to speak, so Lu Xingyan, who was standing beside him, spoke for him, "My father is kind-hearted and cannot bear to hurt others, so I, as his son, am the one who speaks for him. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
Prince Su nodded and agreed with Lu Xingyan's words. He now admired his youngest son Lu Qing. He originally thought that among the people with the surname Lu, only Lu Xingyao had some of Lu Qing's style. He never thought that this sickly youngest son was the most like Lu Qing.
Lu Xingyan slowly covered his niece's eyes with his hands, his voice was neither too high nor too low, his speed was neither too fast nor too slow, revealing a gentleness, and a smile on his face, "Our Lu family has always only sought fairness. Since my niece's head was injured today, I would like to trouble you to put some injuries on your heads as well."
Gu Xingzhao stared at him blankly. He was still standing there. His face looked harmless, like a tranquil landscape painting. His voice was so pleasant and warm, which made people feel comfortable when they heard it.
It is such a gentle person who, in a gentle tone, tells others to bang their heads against the wall until they bleed.
"." This man is too different from the two brothers Lu Zhou and Lu Yang.
Gu Xingzhao felt that his previous understanding of Lu Xingyan was too one-sided.
Lu Qing, the father, was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that since his granddaughter had injured her head, it was only natural for his youngest son to let these people bleed as well.
The four subordinates looked at each other, no one wanted to die, and they looked at their master for help, hoping to ask for mercy.
Prince Su did not look at the four people, and said in a stern voice, "Don't you understand what Third Master Lu meant?"
The four men felt a chill in their hearts.
The leading man lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "I obey your orders."
After saying that, he rushed towards the pillar next to him without hesitation. There was a loud "bang" and his head collided violently with the pillar, and blood gushed out instantly.
Seeing this, the other three followed closely. For a moment, the sound of collision echoed in the quiet hall. Blood bloomed on the heads of the four people, and the blood flowed down their foreheads and faces to their necks.
The four of them staggered towards Lu Youtang who was beside Lu Xingyan, and said weakly, "Miss Lu, we four didn't mean to hurt you today, please forgive us."
Lu Youtang's body stiffened slightly, a little scared, he gently tugged at Lu Xingyan's sleeve and whispered, "Third Uncle."
Girls cannot stand seeing blood, especially since Lu Youtang is so young.
Lu Xingyan was relieved, "Since you're injured, let's stop here."
Prince Su looked at Lu Qing and asked, "I wonder if the elder has calmed down?"
Gu Xingzhao looked at the four people in front of him, the blood on his forehead all over his face, looking miserable and embarrassed.
He is a good man, more courageous than Prince Su, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong master.
