And judging by Lu Jun's appearance, it doesn't look like he was born as a concubine. It's not that Bai Yutang looks down on those concubines, but that when there are concubines, ordinary families will suppress the concubine's success and cannot receive good training. The difference in temperament is irreparable.

Now that Lu Jun can say that, it means that the other party's mother is not a concubine, at least she is also an ordinary wife, but if it is an ordinary wife or the main wife, shouldn't the tablet be put in the ancestral hall? How can there be such a saying? Woolen cloth.

"My mother is my father's ex-wife, but later there was something wrong with my mother's family. My father was afraid of being implicated, so he demoted my mother to a concubine. I was just seven years old at that time..."

Lu Jun's tone was very calm, as if none of these things happened to him, or because he had gotten used to all kinds of unfair treatment over the years and could deal with it calmly.

From Lu Jun talking about his father trading his life for his future yesterday, Bai Yutang knew that the other party should be the latter, and seeing that the other party didn't care, it was obvious that he no longer regarded him as a relative.

Feeling angry, disappointed, feeling unfair, feeling sad, it’s all because deep down in my heart there is still a little expectation, and there is also a love. If it is a stranger you think is unimportant, then these emotions will naturally not be will exist.

"After my mother was demoted to a concubine, she passed away within two years. In order to cover up this incident, my father married a new man when the accident happened in my mother's house. My mother couldn't stand the series of blows. , That's why I died in depression!"

Speaking of this, a shadow finally appeared in Lu Jun's eyes. Even though so many years have passed, when he thinks about it again, he still can't take it lightly. Unlike his cruel father, his mother can be called It was the most beautiful light in his first half of life.

"What are you going to do next?"

He didn't ask any more questions. To be honest, Bai Yutang was able to fully guess the course of the matter. As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Lu Jun was so young at the time, so he must have been tortured by others. It is estimated that he has suffered a lot of grievances, and if he continues to ask, it will poke people's scars.

"How to do what?"

Lu Jun glanced at Bai Yutang with some puzzlement. The current situation seems to have no room for him to choose. If everything goes well, he can naturally become a hero of the court. A future that belongs to him.

If things don't go well, and he is killed by the people sent by the court, or by the people of the King of Changsha, that's what he deserves. It's just a pity that he can't see his so-called father and his father. The stepmother looked remorseful.

"I mean, after everything is over, do you still plan to stay in this court?"

Regarding his plan, Bai Yutang seemed very confident. At least he had never doubted that he could save Lu Jun's life. That's why he asked about Lu Jun's future plans.

It has to be said that Bai Yutang did have some sympathy for Lu Jun's experience. As the saying goes, the poison of a tiger does not eat its children, and Lu Jun's father was really too cruel.

"Let's take one step at a time. I haven't thought about it that much. Anyway, I'm alone and have no worries. If I die, no one will be sad. If I don't die, I can wander around the world by myself. It's easy to do. , let’s live with the situation!”

After being stunned for a moment, Lu Jun smiled casually and said indifferently, as he said, if a person survives by luck, he can do whatever he wants without planning anything.

"Looking at your appearance, even after the matter is over, you probably won't go home. If you want, you are welcome to come to the empty island at any time..."

For Lu Jun, Bai Yutang still had a good impression of him, although his behavior was a little pedantic, and he was always a little naive in thinking about things, he had seen too little, and was easy to be deceived.

But the other party is not like him after all. He has been in the arena for so many years. After seeing more of the world, these problems will not be a problem. The key is that the other party's nature is not bad, but it is worth asking.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang couldn't help but think of Qin Ming again, his eyes darkened slightly, he wasn't actually a bad person, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hide him in the house back then, and he would have gone out to deal with those men in black .

Especially after hearing Lu Jun talk about the imperial court's attitude towards Qin Ming and others, Bai Yutang couldn't say that there was anything wrong with the other party's choice. After all, there is only one life, and it is very easy for the other party to want to change their way of life. Normally, especially when faced with his companion dying in front of him, Bai Yutang could only sigh in the end, and that was all.

"Thank you, Brother Bai, if I can survive, I will definitely go to Sinking Island to find you if I have the chance..."

Lu Jun was slightly taken aback, looking at Bai Yutang's expression that seemed to be just casually speaking, a warm current surged in his heart, and the smile on his face became more real.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even this stranger who just met could do so much for him, why his biological father could cruelly send him into such a situation.

"What are you talking about? If so, with me, Bai Yutang, your little life is so easily taken away by others!"

Hearing Lu Jun's reply, Bai Yutang immediately became unhappy, thinking who Bai Yutang is, there are countless masters in the world, with him, even if you want to die, it's not so easy for you, okay? How dare you doubt him? .

"Really, then I want to see if you can protect him!"

As soon as Bai Yutang finished speaking, before Lu Jun could react, a sinister voice sounded suddenly, and then a bright silver light shot towards Lu Jun's eyes very fast. , did not give Lu Jun the slightest chance to react.

"I'm just waiting for you. The mouse who followed us all the way is finally willing to come out..."

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if Bai Yutang had been prepared for a long time, the scabbard in his hand swung horizontally, blocking the bright silver light at the very moment.

Hearing a crisp bang, the shot dart fell to the ground. A sneer sneered at the corner of Bai Yutang's mouth. Looking at the direction the dart was shot from, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. I'm not afraid of your inaction. I'm afraid you won't come out, Bai Yutang walked slowly along the way, isn't he just waiting for someone to come.

It wasn't until this time that Lu Jun finally came to his senses. Looking at the glistening dart on the ground that was coughed out, it was extremely sharp at first sight, and his heart was beating violently. A little bearish, but when he really faced this life-and-death situation, Lu Jun realized that he was far less indifferent than he imagined.

"Haha, Bai Yutang, can you protect him for a while, can you protect him forever? I want to see how long you can last..."

Seeing that the dart was blocked by Bai Yutang, the sinister voice gradually faded away, obviously he did not intend to come out and fight with Bai Yutang.

Frowning, Bai Yutang looked around carefully, hesitatingly looked around in the direction where the dart came from, but still found nothing, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, what he was most afraid of was such a thing happening .

If it is a head-on battle, few people will be his opponents, but when it comes to this assassination, he really doesn't have much research on this aspect, although the unique intuition and inspiration of a warrior can help him avoid such accidents, But if you want to protect a person, it's hard to avoid for him.

He was so flamboyant on purpose just now, in order to arouse the opponent's desire to win and lose, and let the opponent show his flaws. As long as he finds the opponent's figure, then everything will be easy to handle, but what Bai Yutang didn't expect was that Well, the other party is so treacherous, he has already seen his thoughts, even if he does not show his face, there is nothing he can do.

Thinking back to the opponent's throwing dart just now, Bai Yutang knew that this time the matter was completely difficult. Originally, it was easy to hide from the dark and hard to defend against, and the opponent had such a unique skill. I can't relax.

"Brother Bai, what should we do next?"

Lu Jun's complexion turned slightly pale, obviously he hadn't recovered from the panic at the front line of life and death. Seeing that Bai Yutang was frowning and not speaking, he couldn't help asking in a panic.

"Go on, as long as you reach the barracks, you will be safe. As for this journey, you should be more careful!"

His eyes flickered slightly, seeing that Lu Jun was obviously a little scared, Bai Yutang couldn't help comforting him, and he was indeed right. When he arrived at the barracks, no matter how powerful the assassin was, it would be very difficult for him to do anything. After the king of Changsha knew about this matter, he would definitely not sit back and watch Lu Jun be killed by the other party, so as to give the court a chance and an excuse.

It's just that it's not so easy to get to the barracks. With this assassin who is good at stealth and assassination, the road is doomed to be difficult. Now I just hope that Lu Jun himself can be more vigilant, otherwise Well, relying on Bai Yutang alone, a person's energy is always limited.

"I understand, I will be careful..."

Hearing the implication of Bai Yutang's words, Lu Jun's face strangely improved a lot. Although there is such a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, the martial arts he practiced since he was a child was not for fun. If something happened while I was fully on guard and there was an expert protecting me, then wouldn't this martial arts practice be in vain?
