Chapter 223 Where is Lu Xiong?

"You said that Lu Li became the acting city lord, so where did the original city lord go?" Looking at Lu Li's back, someone suddenly asked.

"Speaking of which, it's been a few days since the city lord Lu Xionglu showed up! Is there any other inside story that we don't know?"

"Who knows! We came here to participate in the banquet of the dean of Fengxiang Academy, so why bother with so many of them! Anyway, it has nothing to do with us! It's better to be wise and protect yourself!"

"Makes sense!"

……

Where is Lu Xiong?

Lu Xiong is actually in the City Lord's Mansion now!

The huge city lord's mansion was arranged as a big mourning hall. In the place where the coffin was placed, a spirit card with the words "Aizi Lu Caigui's spirit seat" was placed on the altar for people to look up and worship.

However, in fact, there are only a handful of people who actually come to watch the ceremony.

Apart from the city lord Lu Xiong, there were only two of Lu Caigui's personal maids and one of Lu Caigui's most frequently used dog legs in the mansion.

There are only four of them in the entire mourning hall!

It can be said that it was extremely deserted.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is normal for this to happen.

First of all, most of the people went to attend the Dean's Ascension Banquet and had no time to come.

Secondly, although Lu Caigui is the young city lord, he is a junior after all. He died at a young age and is not qualified to enter the Lu family's ancestral grave.

It can be said that at the moment of Lu Caigui's death, he was nothing but a dead person!

This is the rule of this world, any family member who died young is not eligible to enter the ancestral grave!

A more ruthless family would even directly abandon such a person who died young in a mass grave, allowing crows and vultures to devour his body!
In fact, the reason why such unwritten rules appear is also related to Feng Shui.

Since ancient times, not everyone is suitable to enter the ancestral tomb. In fact, there are many rules and regulations about whether they can enter the ancestral tomb.

Death under the age of 18, including natural or physical causes at the age of 18, is called premature death, also known as "immature death".

Since ancient times, the custom has been strict. It is believed that burying people who died young will be unlucky for the future fortune of the family.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it will affect the Feng Shui of this family.

Although the theory of Feng Shui seems illusory, in fact, it actually exists in this world.

So there are many people who attach great importance to this aspect.

Although Lu Xiong is not one of them, unfortunately, his father Lu Chen is a loyalist of Feng Shui theory!

If Lu Xiong hadn't begged and even forced him, according to Lu Chen's original intention, Lu Caigui wouldn't even have a spiritual title!

Not to mention going to Xuemao Mountain and spending a lot of manpower and material resources to find Lu Caigui's body!
It can be said that Lu Caigui's father worked hard to obtain this deserted and desolate mourning scene after his death!
And the price is that he abdicates to let the virtuous, and hand over the position of city lord to Lu Li to act as his agent!

"You guys go down first, I want to talk to Gui'er alone."

Lu Xiong threw a wad of paper money into the brazier, and waved away the three who had been pretending to be crying.

In fact, the two maids and one servant, except for the little girl who warmed the bed from Lu Caigui, who was a little sincere, the other two were just putting on a show.

Howled here for a long time, didn't squeeze out a single tear, and wanted to use saliva instead of tears to pretend to be sad. Seeing their pretentiousness made Lu Xiong feel annoyed for a while.

Shuangdang drove them away, so as not to see anything.

Regardless of whether they were sincere or hypocritical, the three of them stood up obediently and prepared to leave quietly.

Seeing the three of them closing the door, Lu Xiong sighed.

"Gui'er, my father is incompetent and can only do this for you for the time being!

But don’t worry, one day in the future, your father will definitely avenge you!
Ji Youcai, Luo Bingxin, and...

These enemies of yours, it won't be long before your father will send them down to accompany you!
Especially Luo Bingxin, don't you like her?

Since you can't share the same bed in life, then father will let her share the same bed with you even if she dies!

Guier, wait, this day won't be too far away! "

The candles in the mourning hall flickered, as if echoing his words.

"Gui'er, don't blame your grandfather for being cruel and ruthless, he has loved and loved you since you were a child, it can be said that he is the one who is most saddened by your death!

You have to understand your grandfather's difficulties.

In fact, I strongly opposed your going out this time, but your grandfather said that you are old enough to go out to exercise and see the world, so I did not object!
But I didn't expect that once you go, it will become a forever farewell!

If I knew that this kind of thing would happen, I would definitely stick to it and oppose you!

But now, it's too late.

The only thing father can do for you now is to silently pray for you, hoping that you can live a good life in another world and don't make the same mistakes again! "

Lu Xiong babbled on, without any intention of stopping. Now he no longer has the majestic appearance of being the city lord in the past, but the image of a father who is sad for his child's departure!
"Don't you like your bed warming girl very much? On the day of your funeral, father will let her accompany you. Not only her, but also your other maid and errand runners, father will also give them to you." You send it!

It is inconvenient for you to live there alone, but if you have them serving you, your life there will be much easier.

In fact, if you still need anything, you can entrust your dream to your father, and your father will definitely help you realize it! "

When Lu Xiong said this, the expression on his face was very serious.

"This time, my father has temporarily handed over the position of the city lord for your sake, but my father does not regret it, because if he wants to avenge you, the status of the city lord will only become my burden!
In fact, father can see that your grandfather wants Lu Li to manage Luofeng City instead of father, not just because he brought back a potion that can make your grandfather completely recover and advance to a higher level, but also because father, I really have nothing to continue. Qualifications to serve as city lord!

Not to mention my father, I don't have a wife and son, even if I do, I'm afraid I can't compete with your Uncle Lu Li!

After all, his son Lu Buyuan is just like your brother back then, not only is he full of talent, but he has also perfectly inherited the sword skills inherited from our Lu family!
So, it's not that my father didn't want to abdicate, but that my father had to do so!

After all, letting someone more talented replace your father as the city lord is what your grandfather meant. "

As Lu Xiong said, he wanted to force a smile, but he couldn't, only two lines of muddy tears flowed down the gully on his face.

"Gui'er, father can't help you!"
