When Lu Xun heard this, he smiled again.

Lu Ji glanced at Lu Xun, "This rumor... was you intentionally..."

"Shh!" Lu Xun immediately stopped laughing and made a gesture of banning the words.

There was a sound of footsteps in the hall, and then a servant brought some simple midnight snacks, a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles.

Lu Ji naturally had already used the late-dry rice dumplings early on, and Lu Xun didn't talk much nonsense. He held the bowl and finished eating in a blink of an eye. Then he rinsed his mouth and asked the servant to keep the plate. Then the two of them went to the study room silently, lit the candle, and sat down.

『Do more, make more mistakes, do less, make less mistakes." Lu Xun said slowly, 『Now, Jiangdong is in turmoil, I have to be careful...』

"Is it the place of Wu Hou..." Lu Ji raised his eyebrows.

Lu Xun nodded and shook his head again, "Absolutely. But... Wu Hou would be better off coming out later..."

Lu Ji raised his eyebrows, "Why not just..."

Lu Xun shook his head, then looked at Lu Ji very seriously, "This statement must not be said! Words will cause harm!"

Lu Ji nodded and said, "I know this, I just don't understand..."

"Jiangdong," Lu Xun was silent for a while, and then whispered, "Jiangdong must have a Marquis of Wu... Otherwise, there will be chaos!"

Some things seem to be very unreasonable, but since they exist, they have certain rationality.

Just like Sun Quan.

Many people in Jiangdong don’t like Sun Quan, just like the Lu family, but actually don’t have any good feelings for Sun Quan and Sun family.

But rationally, Jiangdong must have such a person. As the nominal commander, it is like the Han Dynasty must have an emperor. The Jiangdong gentry hoped that Sun Quan would be undermined like Liu Xie and was the nominal "burden man", but Sun Quan obviously did not want to.

Specifically for the Lu family, because the Lu family suffered a heavy blow, if Sun Quan blocked it in front, the Lu family would not be the first target of the Jiangdong gentry. If Sun family was gone, then there would naturally be no unified front in the Jiangdong gentry, and the drama of big fish eating small fish would be staged. From this perspective, Lu Xun chose to bow his head and do things under Sun Quan. This is the reason.

"Now we are all in a hurry to cut off his minions first," Lu Ji said, "If Marquis Wu comes out, he will probably be very angry again... But this time, Marquis Wu will be somewhat restrained..."

Lu Xun smiled, "What else can this be done? That's all."

"Well... I heard something a few days ago that pirates appeared and invaded the village..." Lu Ji nodded and said, "It seems that there is probably another mystery..."

"This is what..." Lu Xun said halfway, suddenly paused, then stood up with his hands on the table, his face changed.

"You are..." Lu Ji didn't understand why Lu Xun suddenly had such a reaction.

"It's broken!" Lu Xun changed his sarcasm, "This may have given Wu Hou a chance!"
