Not long after, Lu Ji suddenly stood up from his seat and exerted force all over his body.
Two whizzing sounds broke through the air, and two streams of black liquid were shot out from the puncture wound on Lu Ji's waist.
After the black liquid fell to the ground, it instantly corroded a large pit in the floor of the cabin.
"call……"
Lu Ji took a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Lu Jin, who was knocked unconscious on the ground not far away.
After a look of reminiscence flashed through his eyes, Lu Ji just turned his eyes to Lu Shang aside.
"Tell me, what is going on?"
Lu Ji looked at Lu Lu with a serious face, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with an unconcealable smile.
"Father, what I did this is just to help my father, so that you can see through the ugly face of the imperial family!"
"Otherwise, if it hadn't been for what happened today, I'm afraid we, father and son, might not even know when we were sold by the royal family in the future!"
Lu Shang half-knelt on the ground with a solemn expression and said with an upright expression.
"snort."
Lu Ji snorted coldly, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Shang was still full of doting.
The son he thought was dead appeared in front of him again, and even Lu Ji could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Forget it, we'll talk about you brat later."
Lu Ji smiled, stepped forward, pulled Lu Shang up, and hugged him into his arms.
Carefully feeling the hot vitality in his son's body, Lu Ji's hanging heart finally relaxed.
He was certain that the Lu Shang in front of him was his son.
"But what exactly happened at Ji's house?"
"And what about the body left at Ji's house?"
Lu Ji let go, stared into his son's eyes and asked.
Lu Shang looked embarrassed when he heard this. He understood his father's temper very well.
If the whole story is revealed, Brother Zhang will inevitably face his father's anger.
"Father, this is me..."
Just as Lu Shang was about to speak and take full responsibility, Zhang Yifeng suddenly stepped forward, attracting Lu Ji's full attention.
"Your Excellency must be the senior Qingbei Hou. Please be polite to me, Zhang Yifeng."
"To be honest, the fake corpse left behind by the Ji family was made by myself, and the purpose is naturally to let the senior Qingbei Hou bring his army to the Snow Country."
"It's just that everything that's happened now has exceeded my original estimate. It almost caused the death of senior Qingbei Hou. It's really my fault."
"If Senior Qing Beihou wants to scold you, please target me alone. Fellow Daoist Lu Shang only chose to come to Snow Country with us out of desperation."
Zhang Yifeng looked at Qingbei Hou with an indifferent expression and said loudly.
There was no hint of flinching on his face, and he took all the responsibility on himself generously.
"oh?"
Lu Ji raised his eyebrows and took a deep look at Zhang Yifeng.
Lu Shang on the side was about to say something when he saw this, but was directly interrupted by Lu Ji raising his hand.
"Hahaha, you are truly a dragon among men. For Shang'er to meet a friend like you, it is not in vain that he has endured this life."
After staring at Zhang Yifeng for a long time, Lu Ji suddenly laughed out loud with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Um, Dad, don't you blame me for cheating on you?"
Lu Shang was stunned for a moment, then asked in a low voice.
"Blame you? It's too late for me to be happy. Looking at the attitude of the royal family, I really have to die."
"Do you think the royal family will let you go after I die?"
"Oh, I have spent my whole life working for the empire in vain. In the end, I still can't stand up to the royal struggle in his emperor's heart."
Lu Ji said with a bitter smile, a lonely look flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Yifeng's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "Senior Qingbeihou, did you already know that the royal family has murderous intentions towards you?"
Lu Ji nodded when he heard this, and replied with a tired look on his face: "Of course, this is why I want Shang'er to keep hiding his talent."
"I thought that with this patience, the royal family would no longer regard our Lu family as a threat."
"But now it seems that being with you is like being with a tiger. It's really not an empty talk."
After Lu Ji said this, he smiled mockingly. It was in vain that he had never actively asked for any reward during his years of fighting.
Now, just because of a little suspicion, the royal family wants to destroy him along with the Qing Northern Army under his command.
"It is better to take your destiny into your own hands than to work for others."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yifeng's eyes flashed with light and he whispered to Lu Ji.
Lu Ji was shocked when he heard this and looked at him deeply.
"What this Mr. Zhang said seems to be that he hopes that I will raise an army to rebel and overthrow the emperor's rule?"
Lu Ji spoke in a calm tone, and it was unclear what he thought of Zhang Yifeng's words.
"Rebellion? Of course not. The royal family of the Tianyu Empire governs the country unethically. I think the entire Tianyu world has long been unbearable."
"Senior Qing Beihou's move is not a rebellion, but an uprising!"
Zhang Yifeng raised his eyes slightly and stared into Lu Ji's plain, watery eyes.
Hearing these words, Lu Ji couldn't help but lower his head and think about it. Waves gradually appeared in his originally calm eyes.
"Yes, father, the royal family is forcing us so much, why should we continue to serve them."
"The clay figurine is still very angry, but our Lu family is not someone who can be bullied!"
Lu Shang also raised his fist and said angrily.
Under the gazes of Zhang Yifeng and Lu Shang, anger boiled in the eyes of Lu Ji, the Marquis of Northern Qing Dynasty.
If the royal family only wanted his life, Lu Ji would not make any resistance at all.
But it happened that the royal family wanted not only his life, but also the lives of his son Lu Shang, and even the lives of the entire Northern Qing Army.
Under this attack, the anger in Lu Ji's heart was aroused.
"The emperor is innocent, so he should be pulled down from the highest position!"
"Mr. Zhang, you are right, the sky of Tianyu Empire must have changed!"
Lu Ji said in a solemn voice, with a determined look on his face.
"Oh, it's enough for senior Qing Beihou to figure this out."
Zhang Yifeng chuckled and nodded slightly.
Lu Shang on the side was also very excited at the moment. He had been holding back for so many years and finally had the opportunity to show off his talents!
While the three of them were talking, the battleship under their feet suddenly began to vibrate, apparently suffering from some kind of aftermath attack.
"By the way, now is not the time for small talk."
"Senior Qingbei Hou, when you were poisoned and fainted, someone had already used your name to launch an attack on the Snow Country."
"At this time, the Qing Dynasty's Northern Army is the leader, and I would like to ask our seniors to come forward to mediate the war as soon as possible."
Zhang Yifeng looked at Lu Ji solemnly and said in a deep voice.
"These guys are really messing around!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, leave this matter to me."
Lu Ji looked solemn when he heard this, shouted in a low voice, and then walked towards the deck of the battleship.
Zhang Yifeng and Lu Shang followed closely behind him.
