Chapter 231: How could I, the head of the Duan family, die at the hands of a woman and run away!
"Mom, why hasn't the news come yet? Can the fakes really be hijacked?" Duan Long said rather irritably.
His mother Mu Ying, however, looked like she was full of wisdom: "Of course, how can a mere young boy withstand such questioning? He will definitely be deceived by that old guy Lu Geng."
Duan Long nodded when he heard this. Although Lu Xingshi was powerful, he had only been around for a long time, so what experience could he have.
But when he thought of the opponent's strength, Duan Long couldn't help but tremble.
"But if this matter is leaked out, everyone in the Duan family will definitely die!" Duan Long was not stupid, so why did he go against Lu Xingshi for nothing?
Of course he knew what his mother wanted to do. She just wanted to prove that she was the orthodoxy of the Yan Kingdom and that Lu Xingshi was just a deceitful person, and then asked Lu Xingshi to return the power to her.
Yes, it's her, not Duan Long.
Mu Ying was also jealous that Emperor Pingyang proclaimed himself emperor as a woman and even controlled Dasong. She thought that she was the direct bloodline of Prince Yan. In terms of bloodline, she was much more noble than the fake Lu Xingshi, so why couldn't she be the emperor of Pingyang? Like being a queen?
Mu Ying’s face darkened: “What are you hoping for so bad, that you have to hope that your mother will be in trouble?”
As soon as these words came out, Duan Long couldn't help but shrink his head.
This made Duan Long extremely sad. After he drove Duan Chen away and stigmatized him, he immediately began to suppress the Mu family, his mother's family, who supported him, so that he would not suffer the troubles of his relatives in the future.
It's a pity that he failed, otherwise how could he be in such a position.
The current Xiacai Duan family has long existed in name only, and the actual person in charge is his mother Mu Ying.
The opponent actually used the Duan family as a shield, and secretly used the Mu family as the main force, constantly sucking blood, and preparing to seize the Yan Kingdom.
He has also become a puppet. Otherwise, during the period when he first took power, if Mu Ying dared to say this, he would have dared to put him under house arrest in the backyard.
It's just that the done thing is already done and it's too late.
Fortunately, if Mu Ying really succeeds, there will be no harm to him. Mu Ying is his only son. Even if he becomes the empress of the Yan Kingdom, he will still be the prince even if he changes his surname to Mu.
However, Duan Long understood one thing, that is, it was impossible to succeed at all.
How can we seize the Yan Kingdom with such unflattering means, just relying on Mu's few dead soldiers or his incompetent uncles? This is simply whimsical.
The most likely possibility is that Mu and Duan were allowed to die without a complete body.
Now that even Jianghu is almost gone, he still wants to use Jianghu to deal with Lu Xingshi, which is extremely ridiculous.
It is better to raise troops and horses and manufacture armaments, so that this plan still has a chance of victory.
"What? Looking at you, you don't seem to believe that you can succeed as a mother?" Mu Ying showed a sarcastic smile. She got a rare item from the Holy Fire Sect back then.
And she also controlled it through the secret method of Prince Xi's lineage. As long as Lu Xingshi fell into the trap, she was sure to make Lu Xingshi die tragically on the spot.
"Believe it, how could I not believe it." Duan Long understood that his mother had been stunned for a long time. If he had not been controlled by the other party, he would have wanted to escape.
"Just believe it. When the time comes to kill this fake Lu Xingshi, the position of prince will only belong to you." Mu Ying finished speaking slightly nervously, stood up and left.
Duan Long couldn't help but cursed secretly: 'Crazy, everyone is crazy! ’
He has been spoiled since he was a child, but his experiences over the past few days have made him understand that the world is dangerous, and his temper has been severely beaten and is no longer as violent and unpredictable as before.
His current idea is very simple, that is, he must find a way to stop this disaster before it drags him to death along with the entire Duan and Mu clans.
Mu Ying was blinded by the so-called empress. The Yan country is so powerful, can you, a female figure, seize it?
Emperor Pingyang was able to become the empress not because of how powerful she was, but because her husband, the regent Li Xuandao, could control the entire Dasong alone. Otherwise, how could the empress of Dasong appear.
Furthermore, Emperor Pingyang is still a former Song Dynasty orthodoxy. You, the daughter of a descendant of the former Yanxi Crown Prince who is separated by who knows how many lines, cannot stand firm, and the main lineage of the family does not recognize you.
Lu Xingshi became the King of Yan not because the other party was under the banner of Qian Yan, but because he was strong, so he was the King of Yan.
"A woman who only knows some stupid tricks to fight in the house!"
Duan Long cursed out loud this time, and started planning in his mind.
"Let's escape first." After Duan Long was sure that Mu Ying was far away, he carefully opened the tunnel he had dug for more than a month, which led directly to a pool outside the mansion.
He worked so hard to dig it all by himself, and almost burst into tears because he didn't do it.
The tool is a spoon. Don't ask him why he only has this thing. He is a puppet under house arrest, not the rich second generation before.
Thanks to the recovery of the world, his strength has also risen with the tide, otherwise it would be unrealistic to dig such a tunnel.
According to his estimate, it will be dug out soon.
When I leave this residence, the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap.
I no longer have to be a doormat, nor do I have to be frightened. …
"It looks ordinary, how can you have the guts to plot against me." Lu Xingshi was fishing under the pool and observing the Duan Mansion.
In order to avoid alerting others, he even temporarily took off his divine armor.
Fishing is not his hobby, it is just a disguise.
On the way, he also inquired about Duan's situation. Except that the head of the family, Duan Long, seemed to be turned into a puppet, there was nothing to pay attention to.
However, Mu Shi did keep making small moves, but these little moves could not be brought to the table, and they could not reach Lu Xingshi's desk. That is, Lu Xingshi only asked casually this time before he could see them.
As for the things Mu did, how can I put it, they are similar to some chambers of commerce being robbed by Jianghu people. Don't mention this kind of thing on Lu Xingshi's desk. He is not even qualified to be on Luo Lin's desk. At most That means you can only go to the county level, and the county levels above are not qualified.
Even if the other party's plan is successful, the impact will be negligible.
Lu Geng should be the opponent's first plan. After the failure, all subsequent plans will be scrapped.
If the other party really had a complete response record, they wouldn't use moral kidnapping in such a crude way.
Just as he was thinking about it, the fishing rod suddenly sank.
"Eh? Did you catch... someone?" Lu Xingshi thought the fish was hooked at first, but when he saw it, he caught someone with his fishhook. He quickly reached out and lifted up a wet young man. .
"I'm drowning. Where did it come from? Why don't I remember it?"
Lu Xingshi looked around and found that the young man had just fainted and was not dead, so he hurriedly performed first aid.
"Cough~" Duan Long coughed up a large mouthful of water, and opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw Lu Xingshi's appearance, he was slightly ghosted, but he immediately thanked him: "Thank you, brother, for saving me."
There was a slight problem with the tunnel he was digging.
There was nothing wrong with the direction, distance, etc., but he misjudged the water pool, which caused it to collapse when he dug through it, and then the water poured back into it.
If he hadn't been rescued by Lu Xingshi, he might have been swollen by the time someone found him.
"Brother, he looks familiar. Have we met before?" Duan Long felt that he had seen Lu Xingshi somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Lu Xingshi looked Duan Long up and down, and then said, "I also think you look familiar. I guess your surname is Duan."
He recognized Duan Long. He had obtained Duan Long's appearance through the Yan State's intelligence system before. He must be about ten percent similar to Duan Chen. After all, he has the same father and mother. He would be damned if they were exactly the same.
"Brother, you are joking. My surname is Duan and my given name is Long." Duan Long introduced himself with a wry smile, and then said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I still have some affairs. I will repay brother for saving my life in the future."
Duan Long naturally did not think that Lu Xingshi was heading in the direction of King Yan. How could the dignified King Yan be fishing next to the pond behind his house.
What's more, King Yan is wearing royal robes and has an impressive temperament, how could he not recognize him.
"No, let's take revenge today." Lu Xingshi grabbed the other party, making it impossible for Duan Long to get away.
Seeing this, Duan Long could only say helplessly: "Brother, please tell me, if I can do it, I will do my best."
He knew he couldn't rush now.
"I heard that the Duan family was going to rebel, and they bribed Lu Geng to plot the plan. However, Lu Geng was frightened into confessing everything."
"So I'm very curious, how can someone from a small family like the Duan family have such a big heart." Lu Xingshi complained, and he directly asked the head of the Duan family what his psychological journey was.
After Duan Long heard this, his pupils shrank and he felt like shit.
No wonder there is no news that this old guy Lu Geng sold them.
"This... this... has nothing to do with Duan. I really have something to do and I want to take the first step." Duan Long felt that he had never been so wronged in his life. He did not enjoy the benefits at all, and he had to bear the blame.
"Who knows, but why did the head of the Duan family leave so quickly?" Lu Xingshi showed a smile, and then said to Duan Long: "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Lu, and I hold the position of King of Yan in the Yan Kingdom."
"Do you think your own statement can convince me not to kill your whole family?"
At this moment, Duan Long stopped struggling and felt it was difficult to breathe.
What kind of luck was it that he was able to meet Lu Xingshi here and be rescued by him.
If he doesn't give a good explanation now, if nothing happens, Lu Xingshi will kill him later and hang his head on the top of all the heads of his Duan clan as a deterrent.
"This matter really has nothing to do with my Duan family, it's with the Mu family..." Duan Long watched Lu Xingshi put on the magic weapon and heavenly clothes, and suddenly changed from ordinary to majestic, his whole mentality was at this It collapsed instantly.
