Chapter 5450 Recovery
After a while, 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 pit in the cabin floor.
"Huh..."
Lu Ji took a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Lu Jin who was knocked unconscious not far away.
After a little reminiscence flashed in his eyes, Lu Ji turned his eyes to Lu Shang beside him.
"Tell me, what's 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 hard to hide.
"Father, I am doing this to help you see through the ugly face of the imperial family!"
"Otherwise, if it weren't for today, I'm afraid we would be sold out by the royal family in the future!"
Lu Shang half-knelt on the ground with a stern look, and said with a righteous face.
"Hmph."
Lu Ji snorted coldly, but his eyes looking at Lu Shang were 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, let's talk about you later."
Lu Ji smiled, walked up, pulled Lu Shang up, and hugged him.
Carefully feeling the hot vitality of his son, Lu Ji finally let go of his hanging heart.
He can be sure that the Lu Shang in front of him is his son.
"But, what happened in the Ji family?"
"And what about the body left in the Ji family?"
Lu Ji let him go and asked, staring into his son's eyes.
Lu Shang looked embarrassed when he heard this. He knew his father's temper very well.
If he revealed the whole story, Brother Zhang would definitely face his father's anger.
"Father, this is me..."
Lu Shang was about to take full responsibility, but Zhang Yifeng suddenly stepped forward and attracted Lu Ji's full attention.
"You must be Senior Qingbei Hou, right? I am Zhang Yifeng. I am here to greet you."
"To be honest, the fake corpse left by the Ji family was made by me, and the purpose was naturally to let Senior Qingbei Hou bring his army to the Snow Country."
"But everything that has happened now has exceeded my initial estimate, and it almost caused Senior Qingbei Hou to suffer a fatal disaster. It is really my fault."
"If Senior Qingbei Hou wants to blame me, please target 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 responsibilities on himself.
"Oh?"
Lu Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Yifeng deeply.
Seeing this, Lu Shang on the side was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Ji.
"Hahaha, you are really a dragon among men. Shang'er can meet a friend like you, which is not in vain for his endurance in this life."
Staring at Zhang Yifeng for a while, Lu Ji suddenly laughed out loud, with a satisfied look on his face.
"Uh, Dad, don't you blame me for faking my death to deceive you?"
Lu Shang was stunned for a moment, then asked in a low voice.
"Blame you? I can't wait to be happy. 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?"
"Hehe, I have been running for the empire all my life, but in the end I still can't resist the royal family struggle in the heart of the emperor."
Lu Ji said with a bitter smile, a lonely look in his eyes.
Zhang Yifeng's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he couldn't help asking in a deep voice: "Senior Qingbei Hou, did you know that the royal family had murderous intentions towards you?"
Lu Ji nodded when he heard this, and replied with a tired look on his face: "Of course, this is why I let Shang'er hide his talent all the time."
"I thought that after being so tolerant, the royal family should no longer regard our Lu family as a threat."
"But now it seems that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, which is really not an empty saying."
Lu Ji smiled self-deprecatingly after saying this, it was in vain that he had never actively asked for any rewards in his years of fighting.
Now the royal family is going to destroy him and his Qingbei Army just because of a little suspicion.
"It is better to take your destiny into your own hands than to work for others."
Zhang Yifeng saw this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he whispered to Lu Ji.
Lu Ji was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at him deeply.
"Mr. Zhang's words seem to want me to rebel and overthrow the emperor's rule?"
Lu Ji said calmly, and it was hard to tell what he thought of Zhang Yifeng's words.
"Rebellion? Of course not. The royal 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 rebellion, but uprising!"
Zhang Yifeng raised his eyes slightly and stared at Lu Ji's eyes that were as calm as water.
After hearing this, Lu Ji couldn't help but lower his head to think, and his eyes, which were originally calm, gradually began to waver.
"Yes, father, the royal family is forcing us so much, why should we continue to serve them?"
"Even clay people have a little temper, and our Lu family will not be bullied by others!"
Lu Shang also raised his fist and said angrily.
Under the gaze of Zhang Yifeng and Lu Shang, Qingbei Hou Lu Ji's eyes finally swelled with anger.
If the royal family only wanted his life, Lu Ji would not have resisted at all.
But the royal family wanted not only his life, but also the lives of his son Lu Shang and even the soldiers of the Qingbei Army.
Under this targeting, Lu Ji's anger was also aroused.
"The emperor is unjust, and he should be pulled down from the highest position!"
"Mr. Zhang, you are right, the sky of the Tianyu Empire should indeed change!"
Lu Ji said in a condensed voice, with a firm look on his face.
"Hehe, it is enough for Senior Qingbei Hou to figure this out."
Zhang Yifeng chuckled and nodded slightly.
Lu Shang on the side was also excited at the moment. He had been forbearing for so many years, and finally had the opportunity to show his skills!
While the three were talking, the warship under their feet suddenly shook, obviously attacked by some kind of aftermath.
"By the way, now is not the time for idle chat."
"Senior Qingbei Hou, when you were poisoned and fainted, someone had already launched an attack on the Snow Country under your name."
"At this time, the Qingbei Army is in the lead, please come forward to mediate the war as soon as possible."
Zhang Yifeng looked at Lu Ji with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice.
"These guys are really messing around!"
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will handle this matter."
Lu Ji's face was solemn when he heard this, and he walked towards the deck of the warship after a low shout.
Zhang Yifeng and Lu Shang followed closely behind him.
