People from aristocratic families may be useless, but they are definitely not incompetent.

Once you make up your mind, most people move forward without hesitation.

Lu Renzhen decided to go to Miyun County overnight. He wanted to see Gu Tianya as soon as possible.

Regardless of success or failure, there is no way out after taking this step.

…

The so-called desperate move is to put everything on the line and either achieve the goal or lose everything.

This takes a lot of courage!

It only takes two hours to ride a fast horse from Fanyang City to Miyun County. However, Lu Renzhen was desperate, so he did not rush to Miyun alone.

This young master of the Lu family, who was having difficulty in assuming power in his family, took everyone in his clan, including his wife, concubines, and toddlers. More than twenty people took advantage of the darkness and left quietly.

to the Lu family.

When they arrived outside Fanyang City, the scribe had already been waiting for them. Ten large vehicles, plus more than two hundred servants, all gathered into a convoy and headed towards Miyun County overnight.

This is really a desperate move, taking all the family and property with them.

Cars were rattling, horses were rushing, and because we had to protect our property, we were not going very fast.

Lu Renzhen's wives and concubines were sitting in the carriage, but his wife Xie actually chose to ride a horse. The woman and her husband rode side by side, and suddenly looked back at Fan Yang with a sad voice, and said quietly: "I am getting married.

After joining the Lu family for five years, I really feel reluctant to leave this place..."

"If you don't leave, you will die. If the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs left."

"Husband, have things really come to this?"

"It's not there yet, but it will definitely be in the future."

"Husband, I think you are too cautious." Ms. Xie suddenly spoke in a low voice.

Lu Renzhen glanced at his wife and asked in a deep voice: "Why does Madam have such an idea?"

The Xie family was born in a noble family, and her words were well adjusted. She slowly analyzed: "The Fan Yang Lu family ranks among the top five surnames in the family. Now it is known as the most powerful family, with disciples all over Hebei, and there are thousands of officials.

, the influence is so wide that it can destabilize the entire north. As long as the Lu family does not cause huge disasters, even the Tang royal family will not kill them. After all, the price of moving a family is too high, so I think

The Lu family will not fall..."

Lu Renzhen let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Yes, the Lu family is not expected to fail. It has been inherited for hundreds of years and is now a behemoth. As long as it does not cause a huge disaster, no one is willing to destroy a family, but

, the Lu family happened to cause a huge disaster."

His wife was full of curiosity and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Husband, can you tell me who we have offended?"

Lu Renzhen looked up at the sky, and after a long while he softly uttered a sentence, saying slowly: "Your best friend since childhood, Li Xiuning..."

Xie was startled and said subconsciously: "Xiuning is in Hebei, and Lu has always been at odds with her, but Xiuning has never shown anything, and has even endured many times for the sake of the stability of Hebei. She is a woman with a big heart, and it is said that she is not

What will happen to the Lu family?"

Lu Renzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "It was before, and now is now. She will definitely be furious this time, because the Lu family colluded with Master Liang to kill her."

He paused for a moment, then continued: "If it was just a plan on her, Li Xiuning would only regard it as a conspiracy between the camps. But she is pregnant with a child now, which means that once Lu's plan succeeds,

It will also kill her children. Madam, you are also a woman, you should know what is the most intolerable thing for women..."

Mrs. Xie's face changed drastically, and she subconsciously blurted out: "Ms. Lu actually wants to kill Xiuning?"

Lu Renzhen nodded heavily and said in a difficult tone: "You understand now, we must leave the Lu family."

Xie's face was pale and she looked in the direction of Miyun. After a long time passed, she hesitated and said, "Husband, did you choose to go to Miyun County to ask me to plead with Xiuning?"

"No, it's Gu Tianya I want to see."

…

If you ride a fast horse, you can reach Miyun County in two hours, but it will take a whole night for the team to travel in the same direction.

In the early morning of the next day, we finally arrived in Miyun County, and then drove for half an hour before we arrived at Gujiacun Station.

The scene in front of them first confused everyone in the Lu family.

But at this time, in front of the inn, there were hundreds of soldiers kneeling in front of them. Each of the soldiers was shirtless, with thorny thorns tied on their backs. They knelt on the ground with deep guilt on their faces.

The leader was a strong man with more thorns on his back than the others. Those thorns were pierced into the flesh, and blood was constantly dripping down.

"What's going on?" Ms. Xie looked frightened.

Lu Renzhen hesitated slightly and said subconsciously: "This seems to be an act of asking for forgiveness, or a punishment in the army by the Detachment of Women. In short, no matter what, we must not get involved. Madam, please don't say anything, let's stay aside for now

Watch."

Xie came from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River and was not the kind of woman to make a fuss. Hearing this, she nodded quickly and cautiously rode back.

Lu Renzhen also rode back, then got off his horse with his wife. The couple stood far away on the roadside, watching the scene in front of them with breathless concentration.

At this time, there were faint voices coming from the village behind the inn.

But I heard a man's words with a hint of admonition, as if he was saying goodbye to his relatives at home, and said warmly: "Zhaoning, you must remember that you can't do strenuous activities on weekdays, but you can't lie in bed and be lazy. You must go to the river for a walk every day.

Legs, and don’t get angry or get angry, otherwise it will be too late if you want to regret it if you have fetal gas. Chang’e, you are responsible for supervising your sister-in-law, Xiaoqing Xiaorou, you must also be responsible for supervising..."

I heard several women chattering, seemingly agreeing to the man's instructions.

The man added: "The summer grain harvest is being done over in Wuyang County, and I always feel worried about the refugees, so I may have to stay for a while, and I may not go home to visit relatives after seven days... Zhao Ning, can you please stop being so embarrassed?"

, we agreed on this last night."

I heard a woman snort angrily: "You go away, you better go away. It is best not to come back for half a year, and it is best not to be able to catch up with the birth of the child."

The man smiled bitterly and seemed to start to comfort him.

…

Lu Renzhen and his wife looked at each other. Both husband and wife could see the surprise in each other's eyes. Lu Renzhen said: "The man who spoke must be Gu Tianya."

Ms. Xie said softly: "I heard that woman's voice sounded like Xiuning."

The couple looked up together, staring at the road leading to the village behind the inn. Soon, seven or eight people appeared from the other side of the road.

They are members of Gu Tianya's family.

However, it was said that Gu Tianya was holding the reins of his mount and was persuading Zhao Ning and others not to send him off again. Suddenly, he glanced at the post station, his face suddenly showed a look of astonishment, and he blurted out: "Yan Jiu? What do you mean?

?”

At this moment, the group of kneeling soldiers all knelt down and prostrated, saying loudly: "Master, please punish me."

But seeing Yan Jiu's face full of guilt, he suddenly pulled out a thorn stick from his back. He raised the thorn stick high above his head and said with a guilty face: "Master, Yan Jiu is guilty..."

Gu Tianya took a deep breath, turned to look at Zhao Ning, and asked in a deep voice: "Is this your order?"

Zhao Ning looked calm and shook his head slowly: "I know this, but this is not what I meant."

"How long have they been kneeling?"

"Three days ago, the night when Tubol and Sun Mao were killed."

"No, I asked them to go to the border of Yunzhou to hang the body that night..."

"They didn't go. They were stopped by Ma Sanbao. Ma Sanbao personally took people to Yunzhou and ordered them to stay here and kneel to wait for your punishment."

"That means they knelt for three days and three nights?"

"Yes, three days and three nights."

"why did not you tell me?"

"It's not easy for you to go home. I want you to spend more time with me..."

Gu Tianya's face gradually turned blue, and he yelled at Zhao Ning for the first time, and said angrily: "Just for this little thing of spending more time with you, Yan Jiu and the others knelt for three days and three nights and you didn't tell me?"

Zhao Ning looked calm, as if she didn't blame herself at all, and just said calmly: "I didn't make them kneel, it was Ma Sanbao who made them kneel. So you can't blame me for this, because I can't stop it at all."

Gu Tianya seemed to be even more furious, and asked fiercely: "Ma Sanbao is your subordinate, and you actually said you can't stop him?"

"Wrong, Ma Sanbao is no longer my subordinate."

Zhao Ning's face remained calm, and he obviously did not blame himself. He said calmly: "Ever since Ma Sanbao cut his wrists with you and dissolved the blood, he is no longer a general of the Detachment of Women, but the first retainer of the Gu family."

Zhao Ning paused for a moment when he said this, looked at Gu Tianya without hesitation, and said solemnly: "The retainer, the Lord is supreme, the retainer can handle family affairs. When he feels that someone has offended you, the Gu family

With the authority of the owner, he can make any decision to safeguard the interests of the Gu family, and as the head wife of the Gu family, I have no right to stop him. The only thing I can control is the back house..."

Gu Tianya stood stunned on the spot, and after a long while he turned around to look at Yan Jiu and the others. He saw that Yan Jiu's body was pierced by thorns, and he couldn't help but stepped forward to help him.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ning suddenly spoke up, as if to remind him: "If you just pull him up like this, then he will only die. Ma Sanbao will beat him to death. Even the father comes and can't stop it."

Live. Because managing the family affairs is the right of the retainers, even the emperor cannot interfere in other people's family affairs."

Gu Tianya immediately put his feet back and did not dare to step forward to help Yan Jiu, but he seemed very puzzled and asked with an angry face: "What mistake did they make?"

Zhao Ning looked at Yan Jiu and others, and said with a serious face: "On the night when Tu Bo and Sun Mao were killed three days ago, they disrespected you as the head of the family because of my order. But they forgot one thing. They

They are no longer soldiers of the Detachment of Women, they are private soldiers of the Gu family..."

Gu Tianya seemed to be trembling with anger, and shouted angrily: "It was obviously because of you that night that they wanted to attack Liang Kingdom."

Zhaoning sighed, stepped forward and hugged Gu Tianya's arm, and explained softly: "My command was given to the soldiers of the Detachment of Women, but they are no longer soldiers of the Detachment of Women. Tianya, please remember, this is untouchable.

They violated the rules, and they broke the rules."

As he spoke, he looked at Yan Jiu and others, and said: "As members of the Gu family, they actually disrespected you, the head of the family. Ma Sanbao did not beat them to death, which is considered a great mercy."

Gu Tianya took a deep breath and said in a difficult tone: "Could this be the way of controlling powerful people?"

"No, this is a rule to ensure the stability of the family."

Lu Renzhen stood on the side of the road and suddenly spoke, explaining this sentence on behalf of Zhao Ning, and then added: "A retainer is a minister of the master of the family. Since ancient times, the master has humiliated his minister and died. This minister originally refers to the retainer."
