Chapter 142 Pretending to Submit to Prince Su

Lu Qing was still angry. After all, these three people worked for Prince Su and were now taking the blame for him.

But no matter how angry I am, it will be of no use. This is all I can do.

Lu Qing: "Your Majesty is righteous."

Prince Su waved his hand and asked them to leave. Seeing that the four were still standing there, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

The four of them were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect they could escape with their lives, and they struggled to leave with blood all over their heads.

Only when he could no longer see the person did Lu Xingyan remove his hand that was covering his niece. Lu Youtang could actually see something through the gaps between his uncle's fingertips.

Two people had just bumped into the pillar, and bloodstains could still be seen on it.

Lu Youtang was terrified, and his fear of Prince Su was even greater. His hands were shaking, and he clung tightly to his third uncle and did not dare to let go.

Prince Su smiled and said to Lu Qing, "Lord, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, can you sit down and chat with me alone?"

Lu Qing nodded and looked at Lu Xingyan, motioning him to take Lu Youtang and Ming Yuan to wait outside. He could probably guess what Prince Su wanted to talk about.

Only then did Lu Xingyan walk out of the hall with his little niece.

Lu Youtang looked back every few steps. Lu Qing looked at her soothingly and smiled at his little granddaughter, indicating that she didn't need to be afraid and just wait outside.

When they left the hall, Lu Youtang tightly grasped Lu Xingyan's sleeve and looked up at him, "Uncle San, that man is so scary. Won't Grandfather come out?"

Lu Xingyan was silent for a moment, "Don't be afraid, Tang'er, Grandfather has his ancestors in there with him, nothing will happen."

At this time, Gu Xingzhao was indeed accompanying Lu Qing, listening to Prince Su denouncing the ruthless and ungrateful man in the capital to Lu Qing, and vaguely talking about his many lofty ambitions, and then extending an olive branch to Lu Qing.

"In my heart, you have always been a good teacher and helpful friend. I have never forgotten your teachings. When things are done in the future, Xiao Lan will definitely clear your name. You will still be the original Lu Gelao, and the Lu family will still be the original Lu family."

At this moment, Prince Su became his approachable and humble self again.

Gu Xingzhao looked at Lu Qing with concern. In fact, the best way at this time was to agree to Prince Su first. Lu Qing knew it clearly.

It was just like what he said when he advised You Xian. Reputation is important, but it only makes sense if you are alive.

Once you die, the rest is decided by the living.

Otherwise, with Lu Qing's decades of achievements, he should have made a strong mark in the official history, and how could he only appear in unofficial history in the future?

Lu Qing bowed his hands, "Thank you, Your Highness! But to prevent the emperor from getting suspicious, this criminal from the North must still go. It's a pity that I can't go with Your Highness."

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly. Prince Su was overjoyed and held Lu Qing's hand as he saluted. "It's okay! I understand the elder's intention. When the rebellion starts someday, I will find someone to welcome the elder back and rule the world together!"

Lu Qing withdrew his hand without leaving a trace. "My sinner is still valued by Your Majesty. It is a blessing for me. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Prince Su smiled and pulled Lu Qing aside to talk for a while. The two of them looked like a mentor and a filial disciple, and Gu Xingzhao almost believed it.

If she hadn't known that Prince Su wanted to use Lu Qing to win the hearts of the people, she would have really thought that he was a person who appointed people based on merit.

Just looking at the old man bending over and lowering his head, Gu Xingzhao felt really uncomfortable.

When they left the house, Prince Su accompanied the Lu family all the way to the door.

Lu Qing: "There are so many people here, please stay, Your Majesty."

Prince Su then stopped walking, looking very worried, "The road to the north is long and full of dangers, please take care of yourself, Lord."

As he said this, he glanced at Lu Xingyan who was following Lu Qing, "If you are willing, Third Master Lu, I can reserve a place for you by my side in the future."

Gu Xingzhao raised his eyebrows slightly. He had to admit that Prince Su had good taste and actually took a fancy to Lu Xingyan.

Lu Xingyan just nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Judging from his expression, it was impossible to tell what Lu Xingyan was thinking. If it were someone else, hearing what King Su said, he would have already knelt on the ground in gratitude. However, it was precisely this attitude of his that aroused King Su's strong interest.

His tone was full of satisfaction, "Lord Lu, please take good care of your son."

At this moment, Prince Su just thought that Yu Heng was a waste. He could mess up such a simple task as connecting with the Lu family, and he had to show up in person.

But at the same time, he felt that Lu Qing did this entirely for his sake, and he immediately felt relieved.

Lu Qing was not satisfied at all.

Finally leaving Prince Su's sight, Lu Xingyan didn't ask what his old father had talked about with Prince Su. He used the remaining change from buying jewelry earlier to buy two bags of candied fruits and gave them to his niece.

Lu Youtang's mood had stabilized a lot. When he saw the food, he immediately forgot about what happened today and took two bags of candied fruit and asked Ming Yuan to share them.

Gu Xingzhao scanned the injuries of the two people. Although Lu Youtang injured her forehead, it was not serious. Because of Lu Qing, Prince Su had already had someone treat her wound.

But later on, I still have to buy some scar-removing ointment. In the ancient times, people paid the most attention to their facial appearance, and scars cannot be left.

Ming Yuan's injuries were more serious and had not been treated. The wounds were deep, with her skin torn and flesh exposed. Her blood, flesh, clothes and mud were mixed together, but she never cried out in pain. She was even able to eat candied fruit with Lu Youtang.

This Golden Scale Guard is truly extraordinary.

It was not until they left Ji County and there were only a few people left along the road that Lu Qing spoke up, "I guess that by the end of the month at the latest, Prince Su will start a rebellion."

It turned out that he was counting on his grandson to support the Lu family, but his grandson's personality was really... he still needed some experience.

If it was before today, he would not have said these to his youngest son, but his youngest son now looks like a normal person, his talent and courage are far superior to his two elder brothers, and he is more stable than his grandson Xingyao. In the future, he may be able to support the Lu family for him.

Lu Xingyan: "The war between the two sides has caused suffering to the people."

Lu Qing said in a deep voice, "My father has pretended to submit to Prince Su, and we should not encounter too many dangers on the way north, but this is temporary. Whether it is the emperor or Prince Su, they are definitely not wise rulers. If our Lu family wants to protect ourselves, we still have to fight for another way. Do you understand?"

Lu Xingyan was silent for a moment, "Son understands."

When Xiao Zhan secured the throne, he regarded the Lu family as a thorn in his side. Who knew that Prince Su would become the next Xiao Zhan after he succeeded in the future?

Lu Qing smiled and patted Lu Xingyan on the shoulder. "How are you feeling lately?"

Lu Xingyan replied: "Nothing is wrong."

As he said this, he felt a tightness in his chest, and he really felt that his ancestors were getting closer to him, but it was better not to talk about such things.

Gu Xingzhao originally just wanted to tease him, but seeing that he was uncomfortable, he silently took two steps back.

If it were Lu Xingyao, he would be so happy.
