Splendid Twins

Lu Yuan consciously ignored Si Qing's chill, took the things and walked towards his home.

The uninhabited, shabby courtyard is desolate and silent. A hunter used to live here, but he went out one day and never came back. The courtyard became the property of the village, and later the village chief decided to settle him here.

Lu Yuan stood at the door, tall and upright. Just as he was about to push the door open, he sensed a wave in the air. He withdrew his hand and secretly activated his internal force.

A stone came from afar with great force. Lu Yuan turned around and swung his hand back.

"Snapped!"

The stone followed its original trajectory and hit the man, startling him and making him cry out:

"master!"

The man in black took the initiative to show up, and knelt directly in front of Lu Yuan as soon as they met. He suppressed the excitement in his eyes, and his tone was a little choked:

"Master, please forgive me, I am late!"

Lu Yuan's aura became majestic, and his voice was deep and sharp:

"How dare you attack me, my king!"

The man's face turned pale, his eyes full of fear:

"This was not my intention. I was helpless."

When Lu Yuan heard this, his eyes darkened: "Come in and tell me."

Then he opened the door and went in first. There was a strong smell of damp in the room. There was not even a chair inside. Lu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed. At this moment, he looked calm and imposing.

The man was shocked by the poverty in front of him. He looked up and met Lu Yuan's cold eyes. Then he lowered his head and asked softly:

"Master, you live here?"

Lu Yuan's face was as calm as water, and he curled his lips:

"Shadow Blade, why didn't you follow my orders?"

As soon as these words came out, Shadow Blade's eyes turned red, and he suppressed his anger and spoke:

"When you first entered the palace, I and others were restrained by the Dragon Guards. Later, we received news that you had insulted the concubines. The Queen Mother was furious and punished you to reflect in the Muchi Palace. After I got rid of you..."

"Say!"

Lu Yuan spoke in a deep tone, his fists on his knees were clenched tightly, veins bulged, and his knuckles turned pale from excessive force.

"The man from Muchi Palace was exactly like you in both appearance and behavior. I and others were deceived... Afterwards, he handed over the military token and the blade order to the Queen Mother."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, which made people shudder.

Shadow Blade was barely holding on. At this moment, the air seemed to have frozen, and an invisible sense of oppression filled the surroundings.

After a moment, Lu Yuan suppressed all his anger and unwillingness, and spoke expressionlessly:

"What about the rest?"

Shadow Blade said in a hoarse voice:

"Ten brothers have been killed in the past few years. In addition to my subordinates, there are three others coming to meet you this time. The others have been sent out to carry out missions."

"How did you discover the anomaly?"

Lu Yuan suppressed his anger, he hated the mother and son for being so treacherous!

"He has been acting more and more erratically in the past two years, and his moods are violent and violent. Yingyue even discovered that he eats almond cakes. Most importantly, he knows nothing about the political affairs of the Flying Eagle Army. We became suspicious but had no evidence. Some time ago, the Queen Mother urgently summoned him at night, and he hurried into the palace but was carried out. When I went out to look for a doctor, I met Master Canliao, who asked me to look for him in the southeast direction. That's how we sneaked into Dai Viet, until we saw the mark you left behind."

Ying Ren knelt on the ground and said all the words in one breath. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He lowered his head and waited for Lu Yuan's reaction.

Instead of getting angry, Lu Yuan laughed, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth. So what if it's fake and real?

That idiot probably doesn't know that the Blade Guards and the Flying Eagle Army were both created by him. Even without military tokens and blade orders, he can still command everyone!

The mother and son had a flaw in their plan, and they didn't know that he couldn't eat almonds since he was a child.

"Get up and call these three in."

Ying Ren stood up and saluted respectfully, with tears flashing in his eyes. In the past few years when their master was away, they had suffered endless grievances at the hands of that man.

Lu Yuan tapped his knees with his fingertips, his eyes were as deep as an unfathomable cold pond, revealing the utmost indifference and ruthlessness.

Since ancient times, the birth of twins in the royal family has been an ominous sign. The emperor and the queen chose Xiao Junyi to live alone. If Master Chan Liao hadn't interceded for him, he would have been dead by now!

When he was twelve years old, his father passed away and Xiao Junyi ascended the throne. He changed his surname and joined the army. His life, which had always been like walking on thin ice, became like licking blood on the edge of a knife. Many times, his life was on the verge of death and he always thought he would not survive. However, God had a good vision and allowed him to stand out in the limelight in the book of merit time and time again.

When he first ascended the throne, Xiao Junyi was led by the nose by a group of old ministers. The empress dowager then remembered his existence, and after some arrangements, she turned him into her adopted son, the Prince of Jin, who was personally appointed by Her Majesty!

The King of Jin has an army of 200,000 at his command. Which court official dares to go against the young emperor?

He tried to forgive, but others were unwilling to let him go!

Combined with what Si Yao said, they not only stole his luck, but also made him go crazy and mad without dignity until he died quietly.

When she handed him the glass of wine, he thought it was a debt owed by a mother to her child, but he didn't expect it was a request to take his life.

With the last bit of strength he had left, he hid in the dung bucket used in and out of the palace. Before he passed out, he only heard footsteps by his ears. When he regained consciousness, he was here...

There were a lot of people at the door, and several voices rang out:

"This subordinate greets the master!"

Lu Yuan's expression became stern, and he said in a deep voice:

"Come in."

In addition to Shadow Blade, the other three people who came were Shadow Moon, Shadow Wind, and Shadow Han. The eyes of the four were filled with excitement and joy, and more of them were grateful for having survived the disaster.

"Yingyue and Yingfeng are going to the Flying Eagle Army to reorganize. Anyone who dares to speak up will be punished by me!"

Lu Yuan's eyes were deep. The 50,000 Flying Eagle Army were his private soldiers. It was inevitable that people would be uneasy after he had been away for such a long time. So let him make an example of them to scare the monkeys!

"Yinghan, go back, calm him down, and wait for my return."

This 'he' is of course the fake one, he wants those people to suffer the consequences!

"I obey my orders!"

Lu Yuan tapped rhythmically with his index finger, revealing a nonchalant sense of oppression. Several people lowered their heads and dared not act rashly, thinking that this was their master.

It is the aura of authority without anger that inspires awe in people, rather than the arrogance and conceit of the fake ones who rely on their power to overwhelm others!

"You guys go first, Shadow Blade stays."

"Yes!"

The three of them hurried away, and Shadow Blade waited respectfully for orders.

The sound of firecrackers was heard in the distance. Lu Yuan stood up and said in a light tone:

"Do you have money?"

Shadow Blade was stunned for a moment, then he handed over his waist bag with both hands. Lu Yuan untied the rope, revealing several large-denomination banknotes. He snorted:

“How much have you saved in the past few years?”

Ying Ren felt a pang in his heart: This familiar feeling is really good!

"Not much saved. He is stingy and doesn't even ask for travel expenses when the brothers go on missions."

Lu Yuan raised his hand for a moment, then patted his shoulder:

"I will compensate you when we get back."

Shadow Blade turned his head away and endured it to the extreme. After a while, he asked softly:

"When are you going to leave?"

"hold on……"

He wanted to spend the New Year with her, but he was afraid he would not have the chance again in the future.

Hand the couplet next to it to Shadow Blade:

"Post it on this door."

Liu Niang had already prepared a New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone had washed their hands except Lu Yuan, who had not yet arrived. Si Lao Er, thinking about taking a sip of wine, said to Si Yao:

"Yaoyao, go check on Lu Yuan's couplet. I just forgot about him..."

"I'll go. It's cold outside. Yaoyao, stay home."

Si Qing had already stood up and was walking out. As soon as he went out, he saw Lu Yuan coming from not far away. He stopped and waited, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
