A very clear expression passed between Sun Ru's eyebrows.

But the eyes passed in a flash, and she was still the princess of Soochow who cared about her mother and brother, and her and Lu Xun's family.

"If Boyan goes, he will be exposed easily. Why don't you... let me contact this merchant for you and test his tone to see if there are any opportunities in Soochow."

"It's not Soochow." Lu Xun's voice suddenly became heavier and he said every word, "It's the Lu Jiajun, it's me... and you!"

When he mentioned this, his eyes sparkled.

Those extremely sharp eyes were directed at Sun Ru, and the aura was so powerful that it was like a fierce flame rolling straight towards him. Ordinary people would be afraid that they would be knocked down immediately.

Sun Ru also pursed her lips subconsciously. She had never seen her husband with such a fierce expression.

On the contrary, it was Lu Xun. He raised his head and faced the sky... What he couldn't help but think of was his energy over the years.

If the story of "Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang" starts with a bowl and ends with a country.

So for Lu Xun, his story is the opening card, and what he has to do is to win over the entire deck!

Fifteen years ago, when Lu Xun was seventeen, his cousin Lu Ji was twelve.

Twelve-year-old Lu Ji is the head of the Lu family, but he is young, so Lu Xun acts as the head of the family.

The "family" of the Lu family, one of the four major families in Soochow, is the lineage of Lu Xun's fourth grandfather, Lu Kang. The fourth grandfather's house holds all the resources of the Lu family, and Lu Xun of the third grandfather's house can only be regarded as a "branch" of the side branch.

Originally, Lu Xun's growth trajectory was just like the trajectory of any "family separation" in this world, gradually being submerged in the vicissitudes of troubled times.

But...an incident in the first year of Xingping completely changed Lu Xun's fate.

——He was dealt the most critical card!

That was when Sun Ce was ordered by Yuan Shu to attack Lu Kang, the head of the Lu family, who was stationed in Lujiang.

In this battle, Sun Ce was victorious, half of the Lu family died, and the fourth master's house suffered almost all casualties. It was then the turn of Lu Xun from the third master's house to become the acting patriarch of the Lu family.

Later, the Lu family's enemy Sun Ce died and Sun Quan took over.

As the acting patriarch, Lu Xun chose to "put aside the past grudges" and "be magnanimous" when faced with the Sun family, which had a blood feud with his family. He cooperated with the Sun family and supported Sun Quan.

Four years later, his uncle Lu Ji was twenty-two years old. Logically speaking, Lu Xun should hand over his position as the head of the Lu family, so-called "returning everything to its original owner."

Unfortunately, Sun Quan sent Lu Ji to be assigned... No, he was appointed to Jiaozhou as the governor of Yulin. There were many oranges in Yulin, so it was perfect for Lu Ji, who was young and pregnant with oranges, to go there!

And my cousin Lu Ji is from Jiaozhou? How to be the patriarch of the Lu family?

Therefore, Lu Xun was still the head of the Lu family. Until his uncle Lu Ji, who had been pregnant with Orange all his life, died in Jiaozhou, the head of the Lu family never changed again.

Lu Xun, who was born in a "separated family", had secured his position in the "Zong family" for decades. His status gradually increased as Sun Quan secured his position in Jiangdong.

The reason for this is not because of his "humility", but because of his transparency and forbearance.

In these troubled times, human life is like a piece of grass.

What is the hatred of the past?

Didn’t it mean that half of the Lu family died at the hands of Sun Ce?

He, Lu Xun, could not care less and married Sun Ce's daughter Sun Ru without blinking an eye. Others said that grudges were forgotten with a smile, but he, Lu Xun, was "married and forgotten with grudges." He turned hostility into friendship, wasn't it enough?

Where did this happen?

The bigger "pattern" of Lu Xun is that he even changed his name.

Lu Xun was originally called Lu Yi. The reason why he changed his name to Lu Xun was because the character "Xun" was written like this, with the character "Sun" at the top and "Zou Zhi Di" at the bottom. In ancient times, the "Zu Zhi Di" was "Lu". Lu Xun's name

By changing your name, you are clearly telling Sun Quan that our Lu family is willing to support your Sun family for the rest of our lives!

This marriage, this name change!

How could Sun Quan not appreciate and support this acting patriarch of the Lu family?

After that, it was familiar. Lu Xun played a card and made it into a company.

Sun Quan wanted to develop Jiangdong and farm fields, so he needed money!

Who has money? The Lu family has money!

Therefore, the patriarch Lu Xun became the captain of the field camp.

When a disaster occurs and we need money for disaster relief, who has the money?

The Lu family still had money, so the patriarch Lu Xun went to provide disaster relief.

Isn't it a coincidence that Sun Quan wants to build an elite army capable of fighting? Armor, weapons, and horses all require money. Isn't it a coincidence? The Lu family is poor and only has money left.

Even if Shanyue in Jiangdong is in chaos, how can we appease Shanyue?

If you raise them and provide for them, won't you stop causing chaos?

But keeping him seems to cost money!

…It’s still Lu Xun, the Lu family is not short of money.

Therefore, in the entire Soochow, whoever went to attack Shanyue came back in despair. Only Lu Xun not only returned victorious, but also surrendered 10,000 Shanyue soldiers.

In history...the crossing of the river in white clothes was accomplished by these thousands of soldiers crossing the mountains.

How could Sun Quan not like such a Lu Xun and such a head of the Lu family? How could he not support him?

Along the way, Lu Xun was most aware of his difficulties.

He forbears, and for the sake of identity and status... he abandons his past feud with his enemy, marries his enemy's daughter, and changes his name to Lu Xun to express his loyalty.

After more than ten years of hard work...

Why did Lu Xun do all this?

Isn’t it just to chase the highest step by step, step by step, step by step, and be the existence in the land of Soochow, where one person is lower than ten thousand people!

Do you want to be the one who starts with one card and joins the entire deck - Lu Xun and Lu Shen?

It was precisely because of this that when he heard his wife mention that she was going to spy on the merchant for Soochow, Lu Xun subconsciously interrupted.

——It’s not Soochow, it’s Lu Jiajun, it’s Lu Xun himself!

Lu Xun is selfish, he only loves himself!

The superficial affection between husband and wife is due to the forbearance in the heart.

Sleeping with the daughter of his enemy every night, who can understand the pain and helplessness in Lu Xun's heart these years?

Now…

Sun Quan was defeated in Xiaoyaojin, and all the brave warriors in Jiangdong were discouraged. Now was Lu Xun's opportunity to "make further progress".

He felt that he was about to reach the elusive position of "the Commander-in-Chief of the Jiangdong Army".

Before that, he must make the Lu family army more capable of fighting, and equip the Shanyue people he raised with the most sophisticated and most restrained weapons against the northern cavalry, and then... if there is no sound, it will soar into the sky and destroy Soochow in Xiaoyaojin.

Take back everything you lose!

Only in this way can his prestige soar to the sky again!

Only in this way can his cards... be immortal!

"Bo Yan, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Sun Ru bit her lip and quickly asked Lu Xun, her words were a little timid.

He felt that Lu Xun was a little strange today.

call…

After taking a long breath, Lu Xun quickly restrained his ambition and selfishness, and he became the husband who loved his wife again.

"I was so excited just now..."

Lu Xun's voice was apologetic.

Hearing the gentleness of his voice, I noticed that the "fiery and majestic" aura on his body gradually dissipated.

Sun Ru then took a step closer to Lu Xun, "Bo Yan was not like this in the past... Is it so inevitable for Boyan to get these weapons?"

call…

Lu Xun breathed softly again, gathered his thoughts, and spoke meticulously.

"Madam, haven't you understood yet? Soochow is a big dyeing vat. In this big dyeing vat, you can either dye others into your own color, or you can just go with the flow and let them be dyed into other people's colors!"

Lu Xun lowered his voice and mused: "In Soochow, only the stronger you are, the better you can protect yourself. Doesn't the tragic ending of Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci prove this? The same is true for the wife's mother and the brother's belonging. For

Family, in order for my wife to find out the truth about my mother and brother, I, Lu Xun, dare not slack off for a day!"

"These ordnances are an opportunity. The Lu family is not short of money, but they are short of methods to restrain the northern cavalry. As long as the Lu family's army can defeat Zhang Liao and regain what Xiaoyaojin Shang and Wu Hou lost, then... how can Madam meet

If not for my mother and younger brother, who can rival the prestige of the Lu family in the entire Jiangdong? Therefore, you and I are not doing this for Soochow, we are doing it only for the Lu family, and for you and me!"

Lu Xun was persuading Sun Ru... using Da Qiao and Sun Shao to persuade Sun Ru.

Da Qiao and Sun Shao are Sun Ru’s weaknesses!

These words indeed touched her most sensitive nerve.

"I...I know what to do!"
