Chapter 486

Being able to preserve the lives of the Lu family was already the greatest fortune in misfortune.

Want to continue to be the local emperor of these six commanderies of Jiangdong?

That could probably only be realized in a dream.

However.

Just when Lu Xun was ready to accept his fate.

Gu Yi suddenly changed the subject and laughed:

"The Jiangdong Lu family belongs to the Jiangdong Lu family."

"You, Lu Boyan, belong to you, Lu Boyan."

"From now on, you will stay by my side and serve."

"As for what level you can reach, that will depend on your own fortune."

"Plop!"

Lu Xun knelt on one knee and pledged his loyalty to Gu Yi repeatedly.

With his wisdom, he naturally understood Gu Yi's meaning instantly.

The Lu family chose to oppose Gu Yi, so it was naturally impossible to forgive them easily.

The land that originally belonged to the Lu family would be completely stripped away.

This was equivalent to indirectly stripping the Lu family of their aristocratic status.

But because of Lu Xun's "turning back from the wrong path."

Plus the face of offering two beauties in a row.

Gu Yi would not beat the Lu family to death with one stick.

Promoting Lu Xun was both cherishing Lu Xun's talent and giving the Lu family hope for a comeback.

Of course.

Even if the Lu family really achieved a comeback.

Gu Yi could strip them of everything again with a wave of his hand.

Holding power in one's hands sometimes means being able to do whatever one wants.

Rules have always been set by the strong.

Just like history books, the losers simply don't have the qualifications to live to that day.

Only the victors have the authority to write history books.

However.

Accepting Lu Xun only meant that Gu Yi would not exterminate the Lu family.

The remaining three great aristocratic families, the Zhu family, the Gu family, and the Zhang family, would not have such good luck.

To further show his loyalty.

Lu Xun, this "old six," directly told Gu Yi all the details of the other three great aristocratic families.

To put it bluntly, these three great aristocratic families were just waiting for death.

Within the entire Jiangdong territory, after losing Liu Bei's thirty-thousand-strong army, there was no longer any armed force that could stop Gu Yi.

……

Xu Meng (Lady Xu) and Lu Han entered Gu Yi's room under Lu Xun's arrangement.

These two women were different from the other concubines by Gu Yi's side.

As typical southern women, and both from aristocratic families, they naturally knew how to serve people.

Plus Lady Tang, who was accepted not long ago.

Gu Yi had three peerless beauties serving him on this trip, so he didn't feel bored.

And it is worth mentioning.

Because of Xu Meng, the Chaisang Xu family also received the same "get out of jail free card" as the Lu family.

When Gu Yi's army broke through Chaisang, the remaining clansmen of the Xu family could be spared from death.

……

At the same time.

The news that Lu Xun had gone to Yuzhang and had not returned for a long time soon spread back to Chaisang.

The leaders of the other three great aristocratic families did not think that Lu Xun would sell them out and defect to Gu Yi.

After all.

For so many years, although there had been some competitive relationships among the four great aristocratic families.

But most of the time, the four great aristocratic families still supported each other and shared adversity.

This was another important reason why the four great aristocratic families could stand proudly here.

Under such circumstances.

The leaders of the other three great aristocratic families gathered again at Lu Kang's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

"Uncle Lu, Boyan has not returned for a long time, I fear he has met with misfortune, please restrain your grief."

The patriarchs of the other three great aristocratic families comforted Lu Kang with a trace of sorrow in their brows.

But in their hearts, they were extremely fortunate about this.

If Lu Xun hadn't volunteered to go and see Gu Yi, I fear the person who died today would have been one of the people from their three great aristocratic families.

Regarding the hypocrisy of these three patriarchs, Lu Kang dealt with it perfunctorily.

He had already received Lu Xun's reply last night.

Everything had been handled.

Lu Kang naturally had no worries in his heart.

At the same time, he was very gratified and happy that the Lu family had such a hero as Lu Xun.

However.

Lu Xun had also explained in the letter to let Lu Kang try his best to stabilize the patriarchs of the other three great aristocratic families and not let them jump over the wall in a hurry.

Remembering his grandson's instructions in the letter, Lu Kang hurriedly pretended to be sorrowful and sighed:

"Everyone, Boyan said before he left that if he couldn't return smoothly, please be sure to think of other ways to save yourselves."

"Do not get hot-headed and go to a life-and-death battle with Gu Linzhi."

The patriarchs of the other three great aristocratic families lowered their heads upon hearing this.

This damn... now that things have come to this, what other good ways to save themselves could there be?

Seeing the worried looks on the faces of the three, Lu Kang smiled coldly.

Sure enough, this group of guys was already at the end of their rope.

But the good show had just begun.

If the Lu family wanted to perform well in front of Gu Yi, they naturally had to show their own value.

Therefore.

Lu Kang said deliberately:

"Everyone, you must not forget that although Liu Xuande is dead, Zhuge Kongming is still in this Yuzhang City."

"We can go to Zhuge Kongming and ask if there are any good strategies."

"I suppose with his wisdom, he might be able to exert miraculous effects at this moment."

Lu Kang's move of "diverting the disaster" was played very well.

Although Liu Bei was dead, Zhuge Liang was still there.

The patriarchs of the other three aristocratic families gradually saw a glimmer of clarity in their eyes after hearing what Lu Kang said.

For them now.

A life-saving straw was something to be grabbed whenever possible.

Don't worry about whether finding Zhuge Liang would work or not, just go find him first and then talk.

Soon.

The three of them pulled Lu Kang along and went to the City Lord's Mansion together.

……

And at this moment, Zhuge Liang.

Had also received a reply from Zhuge Jin.

Writing to Zhuge Liang was not Zhuge Jin's private act, but was authorized by Gu Yi.
