Chapter 1535 Lu Family
The fall of Zhang Xu Kingdom would definitely spread, bringing pressure to the other big kingdoms. They didn't want to lose, not in the slightest bit.
Thus, the war will definitely be fiercer.
They didn't want to see Fei Yang Kingdom grew stronger, so what they could do was to push their own soldiers at the border to create more trouble for Fei Yang Kingdom. Whether it was effective or not, they simply didn't want to allow Fei Yang Kingdom to be strong enough to conquer them too.
They had been in the warring state for so many years, how could they be willing to accept being conquered?
…
<Long distance away, near the north border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom, Lu Family>
Lu Family was part of Zhang Xu Kingdom that was considered loyal by Emperor Zhang Hou Tian. Not to mention, the head of their family was Heavenly General Lu, who was staying at the north border, facing the fierce attacks from Fan Yi Kingdom.
Thus, he sent his people to call Heavenly, General Lu back.
Unfortunately, their Capital City was too weak to hold on and thus this call could be considered to be useless.
But at this time, Heavenly General Lu was looking at the youth in front of him with rage and anger brewing from the bottom of his heart. He was already so old and had been in power for so many years, but he didn't expect that he would eventually fall to someone else's tricks.
Can this even be considered as tricks?
"I don't think my family is so interesting for you, Young Master Si," Heavenly General Lu sneered.
In front of him, Si Bai was sitting calmly and quietly. He didn't look like he was meeting his elder but instead someone equal to him. Though, the base of his confidence was because he knew Heavenly General Lu's characters and there were many people from Dark Moon Organization following him.
"Grandfather in law, I come here in peace." Si Bai shrugged. "My wife and her family members are here to greet you."
Heavenly General Lu snorted.
He had been suspicious when his family members all come to here one by one. The Lu Family had some position in the court, but why did the other family members came here as if they were seeking refuge?
Thus, he asked for some details and found out that one of his granddaughter had just gotten married not long ago.
And her husband… wanted to meet him.
Heavenly General Lu looked at the young man in front of him. This was the first time he met Si Bai, but he had seen Si Mo Fan. Si Bai's appearance was 7 points similar to Si Mo Fan, allowing him to know his real identity.
Not to mention, the way Si Bai brought himself had already leaked out the fact that he was an assassin.
'Why did my granddaughter got attracted to this brat in the first place?'
Heavenly General Lu wanted to pull his granddaughter and asked her fiercely. But in the end, he simply said nothing and only watched this young man in front of him who had stolen the heart of the young lady in his family.
Si Bai had no high status or prestige.
In normal times, it was impossible for Lu Family to marry their precious daughter to Si Bai.
But he had contributed to their family from time to time and had some interesting knowledge that attracted the young lady. In the end, Si Bai managed to get her heart and the family had to agree to their marriage.
Nevertheless, Si Bai never revealed the fact that he came from Dark Moon Organization.
Until today.
"As part of Zhang Xu Kingdom's soldiers, I don't think it'll be wrong for me to kill you here." Heavenly General Lu looked at Si Bai coldly.
"If you were to make a move, Lin'er will be sad, Grandfather in law." Si Bai showed a helpless smile. "And Lu Family is already a very powerful family, so you have to slow down your progress and not pick strong son in law for your granddaughter nor too high ranked noble families for your daughter in law."
Heavenly General Lu looked at Si Bai with the same cold expression.
But what Si Bai said was true.
Lu Family was rising rapidly both in the military and political world. The previous emperor didn't care too much but some officials had been eyeing them, not satisfied with them having too much power.
At first, they were complacent.
But later, they realized that the more they have power, the more the emperor might want to rectify them.
Thus, they could only slow down their development.
In this world where the Emperor had the absolute say and power, they had to be cautious in fear of breaking the balance. The so called overlord was nothing in the face of that one decree from the Emperor.
Thus, they couldn't do anything but to make sure that their power was within the acceptable range for the Emperor.
If they were too strong, it was estimated that the Emperor would be the one killing them first before they could even do anything.
It was tragic.
But the highest power had to be in the Emperor's hand.
Too powerful would only make that person wary of them.
This was also one of the reason why when the young lady of Lu Family suddenly asked to get married with an unknown commoner, they agreed with her after some persuasion. They had to pick someone with relatively ordinary qualification to marry into their family.
And Si Bai's appearance plus their own daughter's infatuation gave them the answer they needed during this time.
After getting married, Si Bai showed nothing unusual aside from his loving his wife deeply and could only think about her. It was to the point that the people following him already wanted to vomit from the dog food he kept on feeding them.
