Chapter 5450 Recovery

Not long after, Lu Ji suddenly stood up from his chair and exerted all his strength.

With two whooshing sounds, two streams of black liquid shot out from the wound on Lu Ji's waist.

After the black liquid fell to the ground, it instantly corroded a large hole in the cabin floor.

"call……"

Lu Ji let out a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Lu Jin who was knocked unconscious on the ground not far away.

After a hint of reminiscence flashed across his eyes, Lu Ji turned his gaze to Lu Shang standing beside him.

"Tell me, what is going on?"

Lu Ji looked at Lu Shang with a serious face, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a smile that was difficult to conceal.

"Father, I did this to help you, so that you can see through the ugly face of the imperial family!"

"If it weren't for what happened today, I'm afraid we wouldn't know when the royal family would sell us out!"

Lu Shang half-knelt on the ground with a stern look on his face and spoke righteously.

"Humph."

Lu Ji snorted coldly, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Shang was still full of doting.

The son who was thought to be dead appeared in front of him again, and even Lu Ji could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.

"Forget it, we'll talk about you brat later."

Lu Ji smiled, walked forward, pulled Lu Shang up and held him in his arms.

Carefully feeling the burning vitality of his son, Lu Ji finally felt at ease.

He was sure that the Lu Shang in front of him was his son.

"But what exactly happened in the Ji family?"

"And what about the body left at Ji's house?"

Lu Ji let the man go, stared into his son's eyes and asked.

Lu Shang looked embarrassed when he heard this. He understood his father's temper very well.

If the whole story was revealed, Brother Zhang would inevitably face his father's wrath.

"Father, this is me..."

Just as Lu Shang was about to take full responsibility, Zhang Yifeng suddenly stepped forward and attracted Lu Ji's full attention.

"You must be Senior Qingbei Hou, I am Zhang Yifeng, honored to meet you."

"To be honest, the fake corpse left by the Ji family was made by me, and my purpose was naturally to get Senior Qingbei Hou to bring his army to the Snow Country."

"But everything that has happened now has exceeded my initial expectations. It almost caused Senior Qingbei Hou to suffer a fatal disaster. It is really my fault."

"If Senior Qingbei Hou wants to scold me, please blame me alone. Fellow Daoist Lu Shang only chose to come to the Snow Country with us out of helplessness."

Zhang Yifeng looked at Qingbei Hou calmly and said loudly.

There was no sign of fear on his face, and he took all the responsibility on himself.

"Oh?"

Lu Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Yifeng deeply.

Seeing this, Lu Shang, who was standing by, was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Ji.

"Hahaha, you are really a dragon among men. It is not in vain that Shang'er has met a friend like you, and his forbearance in this life is worth it."

After staring at Zhang Yifeng for a while, Lu Ji suddenly laughed out loud, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Um, Dad, you don't blame me for faking my own death and lying to you?"

Lu Shang was stunned for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

"Blame you? I'm so happy, but looking at the attitude of the royal family, they really want me to die."

"Do you think the royal family will let you go after I die?"

"Oh, I have worked hard for the empire all my life, but in the end I still can't overcome the royal struggle in the emperor's heart."

Lu Ji said with a wry smile, a hint of loneliness flashing in his eyes.

Zhang Yifeng's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Senior Qingbei Hou, did you know that the royal family had murderous intentions towards you?"

Lu Ji nodded upon hearing this, and replied with a tired look on his face: "Of course, this is also why I want Shang'er to keep his talent hidden."

"I thought that after being so tolerant, the royal family would no longer regard our Lu family as a threat."

"But now it seems that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, which is not an empty saying."

After Lu Ji finished speaking, he laughed at himself, thinking that it was a pity that he had been fighting for years and never asked for any reward.

Now, the royal family is going to destroy him and the Qingbei Army under his command just because of a little suspicion.

"It is better to take control of your own destiny than to work for others."

Seeing this, Zhang Yifeng's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he whispered to Lu Ji.

Lu Ji was shocked when he heard that, and couldn't help but look at him deeply.

"From what Mr. Zhang said, it seems that he hopes that I will raise an army to rebel and overthrow the emperor's rule?"

Lu Ji spoke in a calm tone, and it was impossible to tell what he felt about Zhang Yifeng's words.

"Treason? Of course not. The imperial family of the Tianyu Empire is ruthless in governing the country. I think the entire Tianyu world has long been troubled by it."

"Senior Qingbei Hou's actions this time can't be considered as treason, but uprising!"

Zhang Yifeng raised his eyes slightly and gazed into Lu Ji's eyes that were as calm as water.

Hearing this, Lu Ji could not help but lower his head to think, and waves gradually appeared in his eyes, which had been calm originally.

"Yes, father. The royal family is forcing us so hard. Why should we continue to serve them?"

"Even clay figures have tempers, and our Lu family will not allow others to bully us!"

Lu Shang also raised his fist and spoke angrily.

Under the gaze of Zhang Yifeng and Lu Shang, anger finally rose in the eyes of Qingbei Hou Lu Ji.

If the royal family only wanted to kill him, Lu Ji would not resist at all.

But the royal family wanted not only his life, but also the lives of his son Lu Shang and even the lives of all the soldiers of the Qingbei Army.

This attack aroused Lu Ji's anger.

"The emperor is unjust, he should be pulled down from his supreme position!"

"Mr. Zhang, you are right. The sky of the Tianyu Empire should indeed change!"

Lu Ji said in a serious tone, with a determined look on his face.

"Hehe, it's good enough that Senior Qingbeihou can figure this out."

Zhang Yifeng chuckled and nodded slightly.

Lu Shang standing by was also very excited, rubbing his hands together. He had been patient for so many years and finally got a chance to show his skills!

While the three were talking, the warship under their feet suddenly shook, apparently attacked by some aftermath.

"By the way, now is not the time for idle chat."

"Senior Qingbei Hou, when you were poisoned and unconscious, someone had already used your name to launch an attack on the Snow Country."

"At this time, the Qingbei Army is led by Qunlong. Please come forward to mediate the war as soon as possible."

Zhang Yifeng looked at Lu Ji solemnly and said in a deep voice.

"These guys are really reckless!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. I will handle this matter."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ji's face turned solemn. He said in a low voice and then walked towards the deck of the warship.

Zhang Yifeng and Lu Shang followed closely behind him.
