Neither Lu Fugui nor Lu Yanyan pointed out Bahai's little thoughts.

Bahai was a good leader, and his wholehearted efforts were for his own tribe, which was why Li Jixin chose him at that time.

Only a person who cares about the people is worthy of their friendship...

In Fengxi Town, in front of the tomb of Lu Defu and his wife, Lu Youtian, his son, daughter, grandson, Dalin and Erlin knelt for an hour, and even Qin Gang knelt with them.

The auspicious time has arrived, open the coffin!

Two coffins in one tomb.

Lu Youtian would never confuse his parents' coffins. He opened one of the coffins with tears in his eyes.

There were two identical urns in the coffin, one of which contained the Lu family heirloom - the golden gourd leaf.

Lu Youtian took out the jar and took out the gourd leaves.

Lu Yanyan stepped forward and put a jade ring in.

When my grandmother passed away, my grandfather said he wanted to put one of his own things in the same coffin with my grandmother's ashes.

This jade ring was chosen for him by his grandmother shortly after his grandparents got married. Now it will stay with them...

After getting the golden gourd leaves, the group rushed to Luling in Guanzhong Prefecture.

At the foot of Mount Qitian, Lu Ling's location is very secretive.

Following the records in the Lu family genealogy and the past events mentioned by Li Jixin, the group searched for three days before finding the Diamond Rock Door.

Lu Youtian performed the ritual of three bows and nine kowtows before the stone gate, then placed the gourd jade and the golden gourd leaf on the keyhole of the stone gate...

After more than four hundred years, Luling opened.

The descendants of the Lu family waited with mixed feelings for the completion of Lu Yanyan's briefing and began to walk into the mausoleum.

Lu Yanyan asked everyone to take a torch, and once the torch light dimmed, they had to come out as soon as possible.

Luling is not very big, and there are more than 30 coffins inside.

Lu Youtian and others knelt down and kowtowed in front of each coffin.

Qin Gang kowtowed three more times to two of the coffins. Those were the only two remains of the Ji family that Lu Huashen could find.

The Ji family had no descendants, and the only remaining great-grandson of the head of the Ji family changed his name to Qin Zhonghe, and became as close to the Lu family as a family member.

Qin Zhonghe himself requested that these two corpses be placed in Lu Ling.

The Hexi Lu family is worthy of being the largest imperial merchant in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even though the family property had been divided long ago, and many of the Lu family's collections that were taken away by the Zhou royal family were taken away by Nan Fengyun, the remaining ones still made the Lu family, who had seen many good things, feel excited.

Lu Fugui was very excited. He wanted to restore the Lu family to its peak, but he would never let the Lu family follow in the footsteps of his ancestors.

He has been trying to gain more options for the Lu family, and the next option is Southeast Asia.

As the torchlight began to dim, Lu Yanyan finally found a box in a brass box at the innermost part of the tomb.

The box was made of tungsten iron and inlaid with colorful gems. It was locked.

If Li Jiren had not intercepted the letter from the Luocheng Palace, Lu Yanyan would never have imagined that the most coveted item of the Lu family would be such a box.

Lü Youtian suppressed his bitterness, took the box, and led everyone away from Lü Ling...

In late October, Li Zhaoying, Han Qingyun and others met with the army of Li Jiren and Li Jixin at the south gate of Luocheng.

The city gates are closed.

On New Year's Eve, Ge Wei led people to assassinate people in Prince Lin's mansion but failed and was arrested. Shen Meng was promoted to commander of the Imperial Guard again.

At this moment, Shen Meng and the newly appointed General Zhenyuan, Luo Zhixiang, were both frightened when they saw the disciplined Beiji army outside the city gate.

In early March, Lin Pingyuan led a million-strong army to attack Ji and forcibly occupied Pingyao Prefecture. He threatened the lives of the people in the city and forced Li Jiren to commit suicide and promise to submit to Emperor Zhaowen forever.

In early April, the Beiji army invaded Pingyao Prefecture and saved the people of the city. Among the million-strong army led by Lin Pingyuan, those who had harmed the people were either executed immediately or exiled to Qiang and Rong areas to reclaim wasteland. Those who had not harmed the people were willing to become Beiji soldiers, and most of them were demobilized and returned to their hometowns.

A well-founded expedition turned into a farce, and Dayu's million-strong army, which could barely be called elite, was completely wiped out.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jiren led a large army south from Pingyao Prefecture.

At the end of April, Li Jixin brought another team of cavalry to join forces with Li Jiren.

He passed through Anling Prefecture, Lin'an Prefecture, Yunzhou Prefecture, and Zhengcheng, and took over several cities with almost no effort, and cleaned up the officialdom in various places in the process.

Because of Beiji State's new policies, because of the high-yield crops, because of the restoration of previous taxes, and because of all the things done for ordinary people along the way, people feel that Dayu State's original glory has returned.

Even many cities that the Beiji Army had not passed through were still looking forward to being "liberated" by the Beiji Army as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Emperor Zhaowen's constant conscription, tax increases, and incompetence and rage, as well as the Nanlai bloodline that made most people believe, almost made him lose the support of the people.

Shen Meng and Luo Zhixiang, as ministers of Emperor Zhaowen, couldn't help but call him an idiot.

Even now, both of them believed that the massacre in Wuping County two years ago was caused by Emperor Zhaowen framing Prince Lin's Mansion. However, if Emperor Zhaowen could learn from the previous emperor and treat the people well after the frame-up was successful, they would not have ended up in such an isolated and helpless situation now.

Behind the two of them, there are still one million troops.

Except for the 300,000 soldiers transferred back from the city defense troops in various places, the rest were ordinary people who were recruited only last year, some ordinary people who had no fighting spirit.

When Li Jiren set out from Pingyao Prefecture, he brought an army of 600,000. Every time he passed through a city, he left 50,000 troops to pacify the local people.

Now, there are only 400,000 Jiyang troops under the city.

But Shen Meng and Luo Zhixiang knew very well that the so-called million-strong army in Luocheng could not withstand the 400,000-strong Beiji army.

After Li Zhaoying exchanged information with his two sons, he looked up at Shen Meng and Luo Zhixiang.

"Shen Meng, Luo Zhixiang, I must return to Luocheng. You can't stop me. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices!"

Shen Meng swallowed and said nothing.

As the commander of the defending army, Luo Zhixiang had to fight back, and his family members were now "invited into the palace" by Empress Dowager Chen.

"Li Zhaoying, you traitor, Dayu..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by an arrow.

The arrow pierced his bun, and Luo Zhixiang's hair fell down.

At the same time, Shen Meng almost fell to the ground.

Li Jixin blew on his bow and arrow, looking quite arrogant.

"I'm teaching you a lesson. If you dare to speak rudely again, the next arrow will be aimed at your left eye!"

A drop of sweat rolled down Luo Zhixiang's forehead. He opened his mouth but no sound came out for a long time.

Shen Meng's heart was pounding. Li Jixin's kung fu was already unmatched in May last year, and now, in just a year and a half, he had improved a lot.

Just now when Li Jixin drew his bow and shot at him, he was ready to block it, but Li Jixin only used a small piece of silver to hit his shoulder, and he was unable to dodge it.

Shen Meng felt that his shoulder was almost broken.

Li Jixin whispered to Lu Changping and Han Qingyun beside him.

"Now I know why Changping always likes to carry some small change on him. It's quite useful as a hidden weapon, but it's a bit wasteful, two taels."

Lu Changping rolled his eyes. If people knew that the Prince of Beiji was so distressed over two taels of silver, he would be laughed at again.

Li Jiren, however, agreed with Li Jixin: "Use copper coins next time."

Prince Lin glared at his two troubled sons and said, "Can't we use stones?"
