Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 241 The Emperor Arrives
"My strength is far from enough."

Lu Qingcheng said humbly: "There is no comparison with you, Aunt Qiu."

"You."

Li Ruoqiu smiled and said: "Just like your father back then, he also liked to lie. He also said that he was not as strong as me back then, but when he took action later, he left me far behind."

As she spoke, she looked back at Tang Chuowan and Qiao Yun, "Do you think so?"

"Correct."

"Yes."

They both laughed.

"What are you talking about? Are you all so happy?"

A voice suddenly rang in several people's ears, and then a young woman appeared in front of everyone.

"Aunt Mei."

Lu Qingcheng recognized the other person and threw herself into his arms, "I was just going to see you."

The person who came was none other than Liu Mei. She smiled and touched Lu Qingcheng's head, "You know how to coax people with nice words. If I don't come to you, you won't know when you will come to see me."

"I did not lie to you."

Lu Qingcheng nuzzled into Liu Mei's arms, "I plan to come over and take a look, and then go to Liu Mansion to find you."

Somehow, she had been kissing Liu Mei since she was a child.

As she grew up, their relationship got better and better.

They have the same affection as mother and daughter, and they are like sisters.

"Since you have come to the capital, you can stay at my house."

Liu Mei was a little puzzled, "Why are you here?"

"This is the Lu Mansion."

Lu Qingcheng raised his head and pointed at the door plaque, "My father also lived here for a long time. I miss him and came here to look for traces of his stay."

"alright."

When Lu Fan was mentioned, Liu Mei fell silent.

The others were also silent.

At this moment, they all fell into memories and thought of that man.

His appearance was so clear, and everything in the past appeared before their eyes one by one.

It's like he never left.

But it has remained in their memories.

"Squeak!"

The door of Lu Mansion suddenly opened, and Zhi Qing walked out, looking at several people with surprise.

"Chow Wan!"

"Qiao Yun!"

"Allure!"

"Why are you here?"

Zhiqing was surprised and happy, "And Miss Ruoqiu and Liu Mei, why are you all here?"

"Aunt Qing."

Lu Qingcheng screamed happily and ran over, "You haven't changed at all, you are still so beautiful."

"I'm old."

Zhiqing smiled and held Lu Qingcheng's hand, "You are so beautiful! Let me take a good look at you."

"Let's go in and talk."

Tang Chuowan reminded from the side: "Don't stand here."

"Okay, please come in."

Only then did Zhiqing remember to greet a few people to come in.

"Get in the car."

Qiao Yun got on the carriage and motioned for several people to get on.

"Aunt Mei, Aunt Qiu, let's go."

Lu Qingcheng held someone in his arms.

"Okay, I'll ride with you in the carriage."

Both of them smiled and did not refuse.

No matter what request they made to Lu Qingcheng, they seemed unable to refuse.

In their eyes, Lu Qingcheng was no different from their own children.

Even closer than his own children.

Lu Qingcheng, Liu Mei, Li Ruoqiu, and Tang Chuowan entered the carriage carriage.

Zhiqing sat in front with Qiao Yun.

"drive!"

Qiao Yun gently waved her riding whip, and the carriage drove into the Lu Mansion.

The journey was smooth and we stopped in front of a small courtyard.

"arrive."

Everyone got off the carriage, entered the house, and sat down separately.

Zhiqing went to make a pot of tea and poured it for several people.

"It's great to see you all again."

Lu Qingcheng's eyes swept over the faces of several people one by one. At this moment, they were both friendly and satisfied.

These people are all old acquaintances of my father and have close relationships with them.

Now they are considered her relatives.

"Yes."

Li Ruoqiu was also very moved, "I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to get together. It's really rare."

"I suggest that we sit together at noon."

Lu Qingcheng smiled and said, "Let's have a few drinks for our rare reunion."

"it is good."

The crowd readily agreed.

……

……

The next day, in the morning.

A golden carriage drove out of the palace.

There were five hundred Guards Cavalry in front of the carriage, leading the way.

In the middle are five hundred imperial guards guarding the carriage.

Behind them are five hundred dragon shadow guards, responsible for the rear.

There were also many eunuchs, maids, and officials accompanying him.

A team of nearly 2000 people walked on the street, majestic and eye-catching.

Before leaving the imperial city, it aroused countless people's discussion.

"The emperor actually left the palace?"

"Where is this going?"

"Initiating such a big battle?"

"very strange."

The news quickly spread out of the imperial city and from the inner city to the outer city.

Much faster than the marching team.

The whole capital suddenly became lively.

Countless people poured into the streets and waited on both sides of the road, just to see the true face of the emperor.

"drive!"

Riding in the front was a young general.

His surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Yunchang. He is the eldest son of the Wu family in the capital and the younger brother of Wu Lingzhao.

Now he is the commander of the Guards Battalion.

As one of the emperor's close ministers, the guard camp he commanded, like the Long Shadow Guards and the Imperial Guards, was the sharpest sword in the emperor's hand.

But compared to the other two commanders, he has huge potential.

After all, he is still young, only 16 years old this year, so he can be called a teenager.

In terms of official position, even Lu Fan back then was not as good as him.

So does strength.

As early as a year ago, he advanced to the Xiantian realm.

This made him very proud.

More importantly, his parents had a son in middle age, and his sister was more than ten years older than him, so she doted on him.

The same goes for my brother-in-law.

There are also many elders, as well as many of my sister's close friends, who are extremely indulgent to him.

It can be said that he grew up being pampered.

This makes his temperament somewhat arrogant.

Fortunately, when he was a child, he suddenly heard about Lu Fan's deeds, and while admiring him, it gave him goals and motivation in life.

Surpass Lu Fan!

For this reason, he began to work hard to practice, and finally successfully advanced to the Xiantian realm at the age of 15.

"Shut up!"

Wu Yunchang stopped in front of the Lu Mansion and looked up at the door plaque.

Unparalleled country!

The four big characters are particularly eye-catching.

He knew that when he was 16 years old, it was when Lu Fan became famous.

This door plaque was also given to Lu Fan by the late emperor at that time.

From then on, Lu Fan made rapid progress and soared into the sky.

Wu Yunchang was extremely clear about all Lu Fan's deeds.

He had heard about it countless times, starting from Lu Fan's participation in the selection of the Dragon Shadow Guards, to eradicating the Black Tiger Gang and the Sands Gang, exterminating the horse thieves, participating in the competition, and all the subsequent events.

Already in the heart.

From the current point of view, his starting point is much higher than Lu Fan, and at the same age, he is also much better than Lu Fan.

"Go and knock on the door." His eyes gradually lowered, looking at the closed door of Lu Mansion, Wu Yunchang ordered: "Just say that the emperor is visiting and wants to meet the princess."

"Yes."

A soldier got off his horse, came to the door of Lu Mansion, and knocked on the door.

At this time, the mighty team has stopped.

Countless people also came to watch the fun.

People were puzzled when they saw the team stopping in front of the Lu Mansion.

"Why did the emperor come to Lu Mansion?"

"Don't there only be a few servants in the Lu family?"

"Why did the emperor come in person?"

"Is there someone important here?"

"probably."

"This person is so proud that even the emperor wants to visit him personally."

"Who is it?"

"Ordinarily it should be the Lu family."

"Could it be that Lu Fan is back?"

"impossible?"

Everyone was making guesses in their minds, looking at the gate of Lu Mansion curiously, waiting for the moment when the answer would be revealed.

Not long after, the door of Lu Mansion opened and a little doorman ran out.

He looked at the soldier a few times and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"This little brother."

The soldier said politely: "Please go in and announce that the emperor has come to visit the princess."

"it is good."

The little doorman ran away.

After a while, he came back and opened the door, "Please come in."

"Thank you little brother."

The soldier ran back and said, "Commander, you can go in."

Wu Yunchang turned his horse's head and ran towards the back of the team, "You guys wait here, I'll go ask the emperor for instructions."

"Yes."

The crowd agreed in unison.

Wu Yunchang rode up to the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Princess invites you to come to the mansion to meet me."

"Ah."

A voice sounded from inside the carriage, "Three generals, please come into the mansion with me. Everyone else will stay where they are."

"Yes."

A young eunuch stepped forward and opened the door curtain.

The first person to get off the bus was a woman. She looked to be in her 20s, elegant, yet extremely beautiful.

She is none other than the Queen of Zhou Dynasty, Wu Lingzhao.

The person who came down next was a young man, none other than Emperor Zhou, Li Mu.

He looks about the same age as Wu Lingzhao, but everyone familiar with the matter knows that Wu Lingzhao is six years older than him.

Back then, he insisted on marrying Wu Lingzhao, but Li Tianrun strongly opposed it.

After Li Tianrun died, no one finally dared to stop him, allowing him to get his wish and marry Wu Lingzhao as the queen.

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Wu Lingzhao and Li Mu walked side by side.

Zhu Jingtian, the commander of the Long Shadow Guard, Mu Yan, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and Wu Yunchang followed closely behind.

"Did you hear that? I'm going to visit the princess."

"Oh, I know, she is the daughter of Zhennan King Lu Fan, Lu Qingcheng."

"It turns out to be her, no wonder."

"For no other reason than that she is Lu Fan's daughter, that's enough."

"Yes, with this identity alone, you will be respected wherever you go."

"Even the emperor has to show her courtesy."

"I just don't know how strong she is?"

"It's definitely not bad. After all, she is Lu Fan's daughter."

"Then who should I compare my score with? Compared with ordinary people like us, he must be much better, but if he compares with General Wu Yunchang, it may not be the case, right?"

"That's true. Although they are about the same age, General Wu Yunchang is known as the most outstanding genius among the younger generation of Da Zhou."

"There are not many people who can compare with military generals."

"I really want to see the last match between the two of them. I'll know how good they are by then."

"I'm afraid you and I won't have the chance to see it."

"That's right. With such a noble status as the princess, how can he take action so easily?"

Amid everyone's discussion, Li Mu and Wu Lingzhao arrived in front of the Lu Mansion.

Tang Chuowan, Qiao Yun, and Zhiqing came out to greet them.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come inside."

"Thank you, three girls, please lead the way."

Li Mu was very polite.

"it is good."

After saying a few polite words, Tang Chuowan and the others turned around and walked ahead to lead the way.

Everyone was silent, thinking about their own thoughts.

Wu Lingzhao, in particular, was deeply touched.

She came here a lot back then.

It's just that she came to play with Lu Fan as Lu Fan's friend.

Now that she is a queen, she has to visit Lu Fan's daughter. This kind of psychological gap is something she still can't adapt to even though Lu Fan has been ascending for many years.

Wu Lingzhao was okay, but the one who felt the most uncomfortable now was actually Li Mu.

He was the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and was supposed to be in charge of the greatest power in the dynasty.

But this is not the case.

The Lu family, the Ye family, and the Liu family were like three mountains weighing on the head of the Li family dynasty, making him breathless.

Even though Lu Fan has been ascending for many years, this is still the case.

He couldn't resist at all.

Just because the strength of these three major families is too strong, but they are closely connected.

Even if one family is alone, it is not something that today's royal family can compete with, let alone three families united?

As long as the other party wants to, the Li family dynasty can be destroyed at any time.

As an emperor, he is always in crisis and walking on thin ice.

For this reason, he had to deign to come and visit Lu Qingcheng.

Just because Lu Qingcheng is Lu Fan's daughter!

Ugh!
Li Mu sighed secretly in his heart, when will such days end?
Although his mother is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, and he is considered half of the Liu family, his surname is Li after all, and he represents the Li family, so he naturally has to consider the Li family.

For now, he can only hope for the future.

After thousands of years, the three major families may decline, and then it will be time for the Li family to rise again.

However, he may not be able to wait for that day.

All he can do now is try his best to continue the Li family dynasty.

Fortunately, he has a background in the Liu family, so as long as he doesn't make big mistakes, he can maintain it safely.

Li Mu was thinking about it when he was guided into the living room.

Lu Qingcheng, who had been waiting for a long time, came out with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and the three generals, please come in quickly."

"The princess is polite."

Several people exchanged pleasantries and sat down.

Zhiqing went to make a pot of tea and poured it for several people.

Then she, Tang Chuowan, and Qiao Yun sat aside.

"The three generals should also take a seat."

Li Mu looked at the three people behind him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wu Yunchang and the others sat down as instructed.

Li Mu asked with a smile: "When the princess comes to the capital this time, will she stay longer?"

"Well, I plan to stay for more than ten days before leaving."

Lu Qingcheng nodded, "Your Majesty, the reason why I came to the capital this time is to retrace my father's path and look for the traces he left behind. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to be accommodating and allow me to enter those places to take a look."

"Such a small thing, of course it's no problem."

Li Mu turned to look at Wu Yunchang and ordered: "General Wu, I leave this matter to you. No matter where the princess wants to go, you will make arrangements."

"Yes."

Wu Yunchang responded loudly.

"correct."

Li Mu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Princess Princess, has there been any news about your father in these years?"

"No."

Lu Qingcheng shook his head, "It is precisely because there is no news about my father and I miss him so much that I want to go out and look for his past."

"Ugh!"

Wu Lingzhao suddenly sighed.

Thinking of Lu Fan, she couldn't help but feel a little bit resentful in her heart.

But now, she is married and Lu Fan's daughter is already so old.

There was no need for her to dwell on the past anymore.

What's more, Lu Fan is now in the fairy world, separated from his family, and is far less happy than her.

At this moment, she was actually relieved.
