Chapter 399 – Admiring The Plum Blossom And Solving The Mystery! (1/2)

Chapter 399: Admiring the plum blossom and solving the mystery!

“This is too much.” Soul haunting whip Luo Xu didn't think the old guy of the Song family would not give any face to the Defense minister. In fury, he was about to charge up the steps and slam on the door again.

“Luo Xu.” Lu Xingkong called out.

“Master——” Luo Xu's face was red with anger. A minister would rather die than see his monarch humiliated. As a man saved by Lu Xingkong from the pit of death, this was more difficult to accept than death. “Let me break in. I want to see what sort of place is the old residence of the Song family.”

Lu Xingkong with a smiling expression looked at the old door with paint was peeling off and softly said, “the Divine continent is vast, there are many towering figures and cultivators that want to burst through this door, but just how many can succeed?”

“I would rather die than submit.” Luo Xu fixed a fierce stare at the door.

“You also can't get in if you're dead.” Lu Xingkong said, smiling. “Do you know why the old residence of the Song family is not in the Tiandu city but is built outside the city gate of Tiandu?”

“Is it not to seek peace and quiet in a noisy surrounding.” Luo Xu smiled coldly. “I heard that the person of the Song family——likes quiet, so he moved out to live in the old residence.”

“If it were for the sake of quiet, then given the status of the State Minister how will he not find a better place in the city? The Xiang mountain next to the Grand Temple, the Jade mountain next to Golden lake, and the hunting garden behind the imperial palace, are these not all beautiful and secluded places to live in?”

“Then what is the reason?” Luo Xu asked.

“The Song Family is a gate.” Lu Xingkong stated in a low voice. “They are the first gate of the Tiandu city. Any enemy that comes to invade must first break through the old residence of the Song family. Only then can they attack the second gate——For thousands of years, the Song family's old residence, this first gate, had never been breached, which means the second gate of the Tiandu city also had never been breached. As long as the Tiandu city is not breached, the Chu clan's country will never waver.”

“A family and a clan keep the peace of a city and a country. Can other family and clan be compared? It is precisely because of this that the people of Tiandu extremely respect the Song family. The world all call the Song family as the 'Kingdom's Library'. In fact, in my opinion, the Song family is not only the West wind library, but also the iron gall bladder of the Kingdom. With this gall bladder, the West wind will have the courage to face any difficulty and setbacks.”

“The foreign enemy cannot break through the Song family's old residence, how could the people of West Wind break through? What would the world think of us?”

“General——” Luo Xu was unwilling to let it go. He did not care what status the Song family had, or what status the old guy of the Song family had. Their General had been on horseback his entire life and had protected the borders of the country, but now that they had returned to the capital they could not even go through the Song family's door? If this matter were to go out, the General and the Lu family would become the laughingstock of Tiandu.

“Isn't the old guy in the Lu family powerful? How could he not even get through the door of the Song family residence?”

“Can the Lu family be compared with the Song family? I'm afraid they are not even worthy of scrubbing their shoes—”

“That person of the Song family gave a slap to the Lu family's face——he already said he doesn't like Lu Xingkong, but he had to go there and bring trouble to himself——”

All sorts of rumours, taunts and attacks will most likely come flooding over.

However, is the status of the Lu family and Song family that different?

“We just can't let this go.” Lu Yi said at the side.

“It might not be a bad thing to not see us.” Lu Xingkong thoughtfully looked at the courtyard, as if his eyes could penetrate the walls and talk to the old man in the courtyard.

He had mobilised so many troops to come pay a visit but the other person refused to see him——How can that be a good thing?

Luo Xu couldn't understand.

“Go back.” Lu Xingkong turned towards the black iron carriage.

“Yes.” Luo Xu answered, hurriedly dashed to pull open the curtain for Lu Xingkong and made an inviting gesture.

Throwing another fierce glance at the tightly closed door, Luo Xu leaped onto the shafts of the carriage, and urged the horse forward with his whip.

Go!

With a light shout, the black iron carriage began to move.
