Since Lu Changze confessed to His Majesty, he has not even gone to court. He practices at home every day. Sometimes he and Tang Jiao go to the mountains to practice swordsmanship.

Gradually, rumors began to spread in the capital, targeting Lu Changze and Tang Jiao.

It was getting late when she came out of practice, and Tang Jiao was eating dinner while listening to Zixiang's gossip.

Nowadays, people on the street say that Lu Changze wants to be a dandy. Some say it is because he married Tang Jiao. Others say that Lu Changze is seriously ill and may not die for a long time. Some people say that His Majesty wants to reduce the power of the government. There are different opinions, and rumors are like snowflakes, trying to bury the capital.

Tang Jiao stuffed a piece of pork ribs into Lu Changze's mouth: "Master said that we should learn to live without grains."

"Ah."

Lu Changze spit out a piece of bone, and when he saw Lu Chengjun drooling and looking at him, he gave him a piece of green vegetables.

Lu Chengjun threw the vegetables away and stared at the plate of garlic pork ribs in front of Tang Jiao.

Tang Jiao almost choked with laughter and stuffed a small piece of meat into her son's mouth for him to chew and play with.

In the past few days, children have been teething and their gums are itchy.

Heizhu came in from outside and said respectfully: "Master, King Yan is here."

"understood."

Lu Changze did not put down his bowl and chopsticks and continued to eat.

Xiao Chengwu also came with Zhou Zizhen. They had been in the Duke's Mansion for a long time. Looking at the warm scene of a family of three in the small hall, they suddenly felt a little dazed.

Zhou Zizhen looked at Lu Changze, wondering if it was an illusion. He felt that Fu Shang's temperament was very different from before, and he felt a bit more fairy-like.

Thinking that he knew the immortal, Zhou Zizhen thought that this might be the reason.

When they came in, Lu Changze had already put down his bowls and chopsticks and stepped out of the threshold.

The three of them sat at the stone table in the courtyard and took the tea from Zixiang. Lu Changze looked at Zhou Zizhen.

"Prince Yan, is there something wrong?"

After returning from Huaizhou, Lu Changze made everyone aware of his indifference towards King Yan.

Xiao Chengwu felt as if there was a piece of cotton stuffed in his heart, and he felt suffocated no matter how he breathed: "Fu Shang, Mao Qian knows he is wrong. We grew up together and have been in love for so many years. Can't we give him a chance?"

"No." Lu Changze looked at them with an indifferent expression: "To tell you the truth, I have known that he is good at calculations and has deep knowledge. At that time, he was still sincere to me, but I know that one day he will definitely Put the plot on me. I’m not surprised that he spied on my Zhenguogong Palace, he was just following the trend."

Zhou Zizhen and Xiao Chengwu had mixed feelings in their hearts when they heard this.

Zhou Zizhen's jaw tightened and he looked at Lu Changze with disappointment in his eyes: "So you have always been wary of me."

At this moment, he admitted that he was a little flustered, as if he was naked and exposed in front of everyone, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Okay, okay, Lu Changze is indeed ruthless and ruthless enough.

Xiao Chengwu was even more panicked: "We are all good brothers, can we really never be friends in the future? Not to mention other things, the love we have had since childhood can never be fake."

He knew that Fu Shang had always been a person who kept his word and acted resolutely, but they couldn't give him a chance in the years since they were young.

Zhou Zizhen knew that it was useless no matter how much he said, so he stood up and bowed to Lu Changze; "Fu Shang, I am here to apologize to you."

Lu Changze looked at him coldly and said in a firm tone: "Let's not interact with each other from now on. As for Lu Zhishi, if you want to plot her to get the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion on your boat, then I tell you, you used the wrong plan. Lu Zhishi is already your concubine and has given birth to a child for you, but I, the Duke of Zhenguo, will not rush to see her, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhou Zizhen stared at Lu Changze in front of him and finally understood that he had changed.

How could he not understand that for the sake of Lu Zhishi, the Zhenguo Government wanted to draw a clear line with him?

At this moment, he regretted extremely. He should not have impulsively asked people to monitor the Zhenguo Duke's mansion and bring Lu Zhishi into the mansion.

Xiao Chengwu didn't know what to do and was at a loss for a moment.

This is simply a Shura field. He is caught in the middle, and he is not human inside or outside.

Lu Changze put down his tea cup, met Zhou Zizhen's gaze, and said it clearly at once: "You can fight for the position you want. Our government remains neutral. This is my attitude. And His Majesty and I have already said that we will resign from office. You don’t have to spend a lot of time on me in the future.”

what?

Xiao Chengwu's eyes widened in shock and he stood up suddenly: "Fu Shang, you are crazy. Why do you want to stay at home? You have a bright future."

The grandson of the eldest princess and the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, was born in such a powerful family and had nothing to do at home. He must have gone crazy.

Zhou Zizhen was even more shocked than Xiao Chengwu. He did not expect that Lu Changze would make such a move.

What he had previously valued was the power of the Zhenguo Palace and his ability to engage in business. With his talents, he was also favored by his father, and he would definitely have power in the future. This was a very strong boost.

Now he downplayed it and said that he had nothing to do at home, abruptly ruining his future. At this moment, he couldn't see through Lu Changze.

To be precise, he could not see through Lu Changze from beginning to end.

Zhou Zizhen suspected that he did it deliberately in order to distance himself from himself.

No matter what it was, it was impossible for him and Lu Changze to go back to the past.

The two had no choice but to leave.

As soon as they left, someone came to report that His Majesty invited Lu Changze to the palace to see him.

Lu Changze asked Tang Jiao to stay at home and led Heizhu and Heitang to the palace.

Lu Chengjun was a little upset when he saw his father leaving, but Tang Jiao directly asked him to enter the space to accompany Pixiu.

She got up and was about to go back to the house when thunder broke out outside, startling her.

Standing under the eaves and looking up at the sky, his face gradually became solemn.

There was thunder in the daytime on a sunny day, and something was wrong.

Lingjue and Lingyuan, who were in the nearby trees, rushed behind Tang Jiao and lay tremblingly on her shoulders.

Boom, a thick purple lightning struck from the sky, as if it was about to split the entire sky in half. The earth-shattering sound frightened everyone.

One, two, three, suddenly the dark clouds were dense, and countless lightnings struck down like they were free. The whole capital was trembling and shaking, like an earth dragon turning over.

The screams and cries of the crowd slowly came from outside, and thick smoke was seen rising. It was obvious that a house was burning.

Zixiang pointed into the distance: "Master, hurry up, the mountains are on fire."

Tang Jiao jumped up to the roof and saw tongues of fire rising deep in the mountains, the forest was on fire, and thick smoke billowing from several streets.

Thunder comes and goes quickly, and in an instant the dark clouds disperse, as if the thunder never existed.

Squinting her eyes slightly, Tang Jiao felt that something seemed to have fallen from the mountain.

He took out the invisibility charm and crushed it. After becoming invisible, he moved towards the distant mountains and forests with his sword.

Looking down at the street below, I saw that dozens of houses were on fire. Many people were putting out the fire and dragging out the injured for treatment.

The air was filled with the smell of burning, and countless dust flew into the sky. Tang Jiao sped up and soon arrived in the forest.

She wielded her sword and headed straight towards the place where the smoke was rising.
