Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Chapter 396 Zuo Yunfeng Goes Crazy

Bullshit advice!

It sounds nice, but you are still trying to use the lives of your loved ones as bargaining chips to threaten me?

Lu You's mind was in turmoil, and the look he gave Duanmu Rong became even more unfriendly.

"Did you also send people to arrest Lu Yi and the others?"

After a little thought, Lu You finally asked the question that was in her mind, even though she already knew the answer to the question.

Among the villagers of Heyuan Village, the ones she cares about are her third uncle, third aunt and Uncle Li. This is still influenced by the memory of her original body.

They are all really good people to Lu You and his siblings.

As for the other villagers, including the original body's grandparents.

Lu You could only say that it was irrelevant.

She values ​​friendship, but she is not a brainless saint.

If people in Heyuan Village were in trouble, she would certainly help if she could, but she would never risk her own life and property.

The only ones who could really make her compromise were Lu Yi and Widow Zhou.

This is the family she chose for her whole life!

"We sent someone, but they couldn't find it."

Duanmu Rong looked at Lu You and said.

"But we have obtained some information. The bloodbath of more than 200 people at the west gate of Dingrang County may be related to your brother."

"Not everyone outside the city was killed that day. A porter had a stomachache and ran to a nearby field to squat. He managed to escape."

"According to him, three black panthers appeared here at that time."

three……

Lu You stared at Duanmu Rong and reached out to grab Duanmu Rong's wrist tightly.

"It's Lu Yi, where is he now!!"

When sending Lu Yi out of the city that night, Lu You initially sent a black panther to accompany him for protection.

Later, he asked the Qingzhou city garrison team to bring two black panthers to Lu Yi, making a total of exactly three!

This thing is so representative, it must be Lu Yi!

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Rong raised her hands to block Lu You's arm.

"Calm down, we didn't find Lu Yi."

"How is it possible!" Lu You stood up and shouted, "You Hidden Dragon Guards are members of the royal family, and your influence spreads throughout the Wu Kingdom. How is it possible that you didn't find my brother?"

Duanmu Rong looked up at Lu You and said, "Who told you that I am a member of the Hidden Dragon Guard?"

Lu You was puzzled and just frowned at Duanmu Rong.

Seeing Lu You's expression, Duanmu Rong had no choice but to explain again.

"The Hidden Dragon Guard is directly under the royal family, and the emperor is the supreme ruler in all matters."

"But at the same time, the eldest prince, the second prince, and my son also have the right to call upon them."

"But there is a prerequisite for this transfer, that is, the Hidden Dragon Guard will submit a letter to His Majesty to review exactly how many people they have transferred and what they have done."

"This is an open secret, so when summoning the Hidden Dragon Guards, there will be a lot of scruples."

"There are many inside stories involved, so I can't go into details with you."

"You just need to know that we are all disciples of the Third Prince and have nothing to do with the Hidden Dragon Guards."

Zuo Yunfeng, who was standing next to him, stretched out his hand to fan away the mosquitoes around him.

"That's easy to explain."

"Emperor Wu has many sons and daughters, but only a few of them are most likely to inherit the throne. Among them, the eldest, second and third princes are the most popular."

"And Emperor Wu has not yet chosen a crown prince."

"So the three princes have been fighting openly and secretly over the years, constantly forming cliques and factions to strengthen their own camps."

"The dispute over the succession involves all civil and military officials, and even the Hidden Dragon Guards cannot escape it."

"The three princes must have placed their own people in the Hidden Dragon Guard."

"If the Third Prince uses the Hidden Dragon Guards to look for you, the other two princes will definitely get the news."

"Then the Second Prince will definitely send someone to attack you!"

"Either win her over or kill her. Anyway, I will never allow a "witch" like you to join the Third Prince's camp."

Hearing Zuo Yunfeng's words, Duanmu Rong looked over with a smile.

"Yo!"

"I never knew that Young Master Zuo knew so many details. It seems that the Zuo family pays close attention to the affairs of the imperial court."

Zuo Yunfeng did not reply, but moved closer to Lu You.

"I think you should obey."

"You performed too brilliantly in the battle of Qingzhou Prefecture. Now you are being targeted by the three princes."

"Choose one, and someone will protect you."

"But if you don't choose any of them, the three of them will be worried that you will side with the other two parties, and they will definitely kill you."

"I suggest you choose Wu Quanwen. After all, he knows many of your methods and saved your life, so he is half your friend."

"Give me a pancake!"

Duanmu Rong was smiling as she watched Zuo Yunfeng persuade Lu You, but she was slightly stunned.

What is the code for "give me a pancake"?

The next moment, Lu You casually handed Zuo Yunfeng a steaming pancake, and then grabbed one out of thin air for himself, and the two of them started eating in front of Duanmu Rong.

Click...

[Negative emotions from Duanmu Rong +90, +90...]

"Where did you get the sesame cakes?"

Lu You glanced at Duanmu Rong and ignored her, turning to look at Zuo Yunfeng next to him.

"You're talking so much, why don't you join Wu Quanwen's school?"

"I'm different." Zuo Yunfeng replied with a smile: "We in the Zuo family have rules that we can't serve as officials in the court, and we can't associate with any officials above the prefectural level."

"It's hard to be a family of Jianghu origin, and it's even harder to be a famous family that can be passed down for hundreds of generations."

"The reason why our Zuo family can stay out of trouble is that we act uprightly and do not offend any faction. We are moderate!"

Fart of mediocrity.

It's just about retaining the right to side with either side at any time.

Everyone is afraid that you will side with the opponent, so no one will force the Zuo family to take sides.

Lu You thought to himself.

But Duanmu Rong next to her just smiled.

"Master Zuo, that was the past. Things are different now."

"After my son returned to Wudu, he reported to His Majesty everything you did in Ningguan and Qingzhou Prefecture."

"The emperor was very pleased to hear this, and personally wrote down the eight characters 'The greatest heroes serve their country and their people', and sent them to your Zuo family along with other rewards."

"Now the entire Wudu knows about your heroic feat of fighting your way from Ningguan to Qingzhou Prefecture with His Highness."

"Whether you like it or not, you are now considered the Third Prince's person."

The pancake slipped from his hand, and Zuo Yunfeng seemed to be frozen in place, staring blankly at Duanmu Rong.

"Then our Zuo family..."

"You are the eldest master of the Zuo family, what do you think?" Duanmu Rong answered casually.

"Fuck Wu Quanwen! This is too mean!" Zuo Yunfeng stood up and cursed.

Duan Mu Rong's face suddenly turned cold: "You are speaking dirty words and insulting His Highness. This is a crime of great disrespect!"

Zuo Yunfeng lowered his head and looked at Duanmu Rong.

"What's wrong with me scolding him?"

"If I can beat him, I will chop him up!"

"He is a prince after all, how dare he act more shamelessly..."
