"Thank you Lord Longen!"

Xue Chengwu quickly bowed to Hu Xian.

Hu Xian nodded slightly and said, "Although your father committed a heinous crime, you can stand up and testify against him without deliberately concealing it. It is really rare and precious. It can be seen that you are a righteous and brave person, and you will definitely be a hero Deeply reused."

Xue Chengwu said: "Don't dare to be it, I will only do what I should do. My father taught me to be loyal to the country since I was a child, but unfortunately... he himself forgot these four words."

Hearing this, Hu Xian couldn't help sighing, and said: "Xue Zhengde, Xue Zhengde, you have failed my trust in you, you have failed the respect of the people and soldiers of the Cangwu country, and your son... It's not a pity to die!"

At this time, Luo Yi couldn't help but glance at Xue Chengwu, but saw that his face was full of gloom, and when he encountered such a thing, he would only know how much pain he felt inside, and outsiders could not understand it. .

Luo Yi felt that Xue Chengwu was indeed not easy, and in the future, no matter what, he would have to help him more.

Afterwards, Hu Xian was ready to discuss future countermeasures with Lu Pingan and others. After all, even if he was the emperor of the Cangwu Kingdom, it would be very difficult to deal with this matter.

But before they could speak a few words, they heard a shout from outside the Imperial Study Room.

"Your Majesty, Wei Guogong, General Mingwei, and Dean Zhang, please see you if you have important matters!"

Hearing this, Hu Xian, Lu Pingan and others were all startled.

Hu Xian frowned slightly, and ignored the people outside for the time being. Instead, he said to Lu Ping'an, "The three of them, they came to see me together, what do they want to do?"

Lu Pingan said solemnly: "I guess... it is related to the incident we were talking about. It should be Xue Zhengde who discovered that Xue Chengwu was missing and felt that something was not right, so he decided to do something..."

Hu Xian stared slightly and said, "Could it be that Wei Guogong and Zhang Boshi also participated in that incident?"

Lu Pingan said: "I don't know about Duke Wei Guo, but according to my investigation, the National Education Institute is indeed very suspicious."

In the Honggu Town incident, there were two groups of people who wanted to be disadvantageous to the Lu family. Han Yingge’s behind-the-scenes instructions have been found out, and the rumor that caused Ma Junhua’s misbehavior came from a member of the National Education Institute. Elder.

Although this does not directly prove that the National Education Institute must have something to do with that incident, it is still very suspicious after all.

Lu Pingan thought that after dealing with Xue Zhengde, he would investigate the National Education Institute.

But I never expected that those guys had come to the door together now.

Hu Xian's expression became extraordinarily gloomy, and said, "Well, I understand, I want to see what tricks they want to play."

Lu Pingan said: "Then the three of us hide first?"

Hu Xian nodded and said, "That's also good."

The area of ​​the Yushufang is not small, enough for the three of Lu Pingan to hide.

Then, they hid behind a large bookshelf.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ping'an used a magic trick to hide the breath of the three of them. Unless someone from the transcendent realm came, no one would be able to perceive their existence.

At this time, Hu Xian shouted to the people outside the Imperial Study Room: "Let them come in."

After a while, the three of Xue Zhengde walked into the imperial study room.

After they met with Hu Xian, Hu Xian asked normally, "What are you going to do?"

Weiguo said: "Your Majesty, the minister has received a letter, please look it over."

Hu Xian asked suspiciously: "Who wrote it?"

Weiguo said: "As for the people from Dongyu Kingdom, you will know who they are after you read them, Your Majesty."

Hu Xian thought for a while and said, "Bring it up."

Wei Guogong called out the letter, stepped forward, and handed it out.

After Hu Xian took it, he opened it and looked at it.

But after a while, Hu Xian's face changed drastically, and he shouted angrily: "What? How dare he threaten me like this?! Is this really what Qi Zhu wrote?"

The three Lu Pingan were shocked when they heard this.

With this sentence alone, their previous guesses seem to have been answered.

It's just that they didn't expect that the force Xue Zhengde said would actually be the royal family of Dongyu Kingdom!

However, it is no wonder that Xue Zhengde is so confident.

Wei Guo justified: "Return to your Majesty, it is true, there is also the seal of Dongyu Kingdom's imperial seal under the letter.

Hu Xian immediately used his perception to confirm. After a while, he coldly snorted and said, "Writing such messy letters is also stamped with the imperial seal. I really don't know what that guy thinks!"

Wei Guoyi said: "But at least it proves the authenticity of the letter, but I don't know what your majesty would like after reading it?"

Hu Xian said coldly: "Just because he has a personal grievance with Lu Ping'an, do you want me to make an order to copy the Lu family? He is humiliating me and humiliating the Cangwu country! Just such a ridiculous thing, do you dare What do you want me to ask? Do you need to ask?"

Weiguo justice: "Your Majesty, the ministers also know that Qi Zhu's actions are ridiculous and unreasonable, but the key is that he said, if your Majesty you disagree with this matter, Dongyu State will raise troops to attack our Cangwu country! For the royal family For the court, for the people of dawn, please think twice!"

As soon as the words fell, Xue Chengwu and Zhang Boshi standing next to each other said, "Please think twice!"

The three of Lu Pingan didn't know the specific content of the letter, but after hearing these conversations, they had already guessed a general idea.

Although Lu Ping'an knew very well, Qi Zhu hated him deeply, and had always wanted to put him to death.

But Lu Ping'an could not have imagined that Qi Zhu, as the emperor of the Eastern Yu Kingdom, would use such a despicable way to deal with him!

This also means that Hu Xian is about to fall into a dilemma and can only choose between the people of Cangwu Country and Lu Ping's family!

If Lu Pingan is not in this imperial study room today, and Hu Xian chooses the former, then Lu Pingan will forge a **** feud with the royal family of Cangwu Kingdom.

But if Hu Xian chooses to reject Qi Zhu and preserve the Lu family, then the entire Cangwu country will be in danger. In the end, Hu Xian will either abdicate or become the king of the dead, the consequences will be even more serious!

Qi Zhu's method was extremely shameless, and also extremely cruel.

It seems that in Qi Zhu's eyes, the people of Cangwu Nation are nothing at all. A war is just to fight, and it doesn't need many reasons.

In the past, many people, including Lu Pingan, believed that with Qi Zhu's violent and domineering and retributable character, after becoming the emperor, he was very likely to become a tyrant.

Now it seems that this statement is really not wrong at all.

Qi Zhu regards human life as a waste, and in order to avenge personal revenge, two countries can start a war, regardless of how many people will die!

Of course, all these pressures are now on Hu Xian. As long as he is willing to agree to Qi Zhu, it seems that the war can be avoided...

Suddenly, there was a loud pop in the Imperial Study Room.

Hu Xian angrily took a picture of Long's case, then suddenly got up, glanced at the three of Wei Guogong, and said coldly: "Think twice? Does this matter need to think more? How can I agree to this request?"

Weiguo said: "Your Majesty, it was Lu Pingan who did not know what was good or bad, and provoke Qi Zhu. Their Lu family did not teach Lu Pingan well, and they had an inescapable responsibility. But if it was for their Lu family, the entire Cangwu country would face the east. The threat of the Yu State army is not worth it!"

Xue Zhengde arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, with the national strength of our Cangwu Nation, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the invasion of the Dongyu Kingdom. Once a war breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous. Please also take the overall situation as the priority and make your decrees as soon as possible!"

Hu Xian scolded: "You are a country man, a general, that's how you look at this matter? It's really stupid, I'm so disappointed!"

At this time, Zhang Boshi also gave his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the old man also believes that Qi Zhu's request should be agreed. This is certainly detrimental to dignity and even makes people feel very aggrieved, but the fact is that Dongyu is much stronger than us. , The bad thing is that you can only sacrifice the Lu family if you want Guotai and people's peace!"

Hu Xian glared at Zhang Boshi, who was white-haired and white-bearded, and said, "Dean Zhang, I think you are also confused! You have said so much, you have not seen the essence of this matter at all, Qi Zhu wants to destroy The Lu Family, but the deeper reason is that he is despising our Cangwu Country, and even wants to control our Cangwu Country at will!"

With that, Hu Xian walked out of the Dragon Case, and while walking slowly, he said: "This time he wants us to destroy the Lu family, so next time he has a whim and wants to destroy Li Jiazhang. Home? Or, if he wants something else, do I have to agree to his request?"

Hu Xian glared at the three of Wei Guogong and said: "He can threaten me to go to war because of a little personal grievances. What else can he do? If I only know to give in and obey, then he will definitely be in the future. By intensifying efforts and advancing every inch, war may have been avoided by then, but where can this country be better?"

As he said, Hu Xian's tone suddenly became a little slower, saying: "Take ten thousand steps. The Lu family are also my people. If I can't even keep them, how can I continue to hold on to this country? "

These few words made the three of Lu Ping's shocked.

Obviously, Hu Xian was not scared by Qi Zhu, but rather calmly saw the root of the matter.

In front of Dongyu State, Cangwu State is indeed an extremely weak existence.

But even so, as the king of a country, Hu Xian still has his backbone and dignity!

Faced with the unreasonable demands of the power, Hu Xian did not succumb. Even if this is about to face great risks, he still made his own choice!

However, the three of Wei Guogong seemed to have anticipated this a long time ago, so none of them showed too unexpected emotions.

But Hu Xian’s words have reached this point, and they don’t want to persuade them anymore. So, Wei Guogong asked: "That is to say, your Majesty, you have decided to reject Qi Zhu’s request. Wugu suffered crusade by the army of Dongyu Kingdom?"
