Peerless Taoist

Although the Lu Family was a wealthy family that had been passed down for a long time, if one was not careful about this matter, it was very likely that it would decline from then on.    

Although some elders were powerful, they still paid attention to being cautious and mature when doing things. They were unwilling to take risks.    

"Neutral? That means that no one supports us. Once the result is out, our Lu Family will die even more tragically." Lu Changqing said with a cold smile.    

Lu Changsong, who was sitting on the seat of honor, suddenly coughed lightly. No one said anything.    

"I just received news that the Xu Family is going to attack Lu Yu's tribe. Just now, a group of Dragon Guards rushed into the streets and took Lu Yu's cousin away." Lu Changsong said in a deep voice.    

In the past, the Qi Dynasty had planned to capture Lu Yu's relatives in the lower realm.    

The Lu Family and the Skynet acted at the same time. A portion of the family members were rescued by the Skynet, while the rest of the family members arrived at the Emperor Capital's Lu Family.    

Because of Lu Yu, these family members were properly arranged by the Lu Family and treated with great hospitality.    

An elder said in shock, "No matter what, Lu Yu's branch is still a clansman of my Lu Family. How could those imperial court hawks dare?"    

Lu Changsong stroked his beard. He let out a long sigh and said, "The Emperor is anxious. He wants to wipe out Lu Yu's forces as quickly as possible. Otherwise, once Lu Yu returns to the Imperial Capital, it will be the day he loses his throne."    

The people were all depressed. Zhao Yuanyan had no way to retreat.    

Only by weakening Lu Yu's influence to the extreme would he be able to secure his throne.    

"No wonder the Emperor dared to attack the five great academies. He doesn't care about the others anymore. As long as he can get rid of Lu Yu, he won't hesitate to offend Wen Sheng." An elder came to a realization.    

" I have a letter here regarding the Zhang family. "    

Lu Changsong unhurriedly took out a letter, "Lu Yu's cousin, Lu Xuan'er, is a guest of the Zhang family. Now the Zhang family has announced that they want to protect Lu Xuan'er to the death."    

All the people of the Lu Family fell silent.    

Family Head and Zhang Heng of the Zhang family were very close to Lu Yu.    

But no one had expected that the Zhang family would openly challenge the Emperor for Lu Yu's sake.    

"The Zhang family has a different surname, and they are able to protect Lu Yu's family. Can't my Lu Family do that?"    

Lu Changsong looked around and said in a deep voice, "If my Lu Family can't even protect my family, then what's the point of establishing a great family that has been passed down for thousands of years?"    

These words had already expressed his attitude.    

In the end, the Lu Family still placed its weight on Lu Yu.    

...    

Imperial City, Imperial Mansion Palace.    

Emperor Zhao Yuanyan changed into a loose brocade robe and summoned Huang Zixiu and Xu Tiangang.    

These few days, the two of them had already lived in the hall and were summoned to the Palace at any time to discuss matters with the Emperor.    

This was a great favor, which meant that the two of them were already the Emperor's favorites.    

"Xu Qing, Zhen heard that your Xu family has recently been attacked by a group of students. Even the door has been broken. I wonder if anyone has been injured?" Zhao Yuanyan's face was full of smiles, giving off a feeling of a spring breeze.    

It was hard to imagine that such a person had beaten a eunuch to death with his bare hands due to anger a few days ago.    

Xu Tiangang calmly said, "It's all because some of the servants below were injured. This official has already arranged for Xu Xianchun to deal with it."    

Zhao Yuanyan asked, "In many of the memorials that were sent today, it was stated that Zhen was going to release the imprisoned students. What does Xu Qing think?"    

"Absolutely not!"    

Xu Tiangang said in a deep voice, "Forgive this official's words. This group of people is already loyal to Lu Yu's best friend. Their potential is deep. Once they are controlled by Lu Yu, it will be a terrifying power. We must kill them in the cradle."
