Chapter 93: Changed Name Again?

  Hundreds of riders came with the wind, and gradually, the figures of the knights emerged from the heavy yellow sand, presenting themselves before everyone's eyes.

  The young men and women who had been waiting on both sides looked back curiously with their heads held high.

  Just as the cavalry were galloping towards them only three hundred paces away, they suddenly shifted to either side, clearing a path in the middle.

  Then a black-lacquered carriage that looked comfortable and luxurious everywhere came out of the crowd, appearing before everyone's eyes.

  When he saw the horse carriage, General Geng's face changed slightly, and the young men and women became excited at the same time. The crowd that was still discussing in a flurry took another step back and quieted down a lot.

  In a daze, Lu Xuan heard Atie hastily reminding him: "Lu Xuan, get off the bus quickly."

  Her voice had just fallen when Xiao Yan said: "Ati, what are you worried about? Have you forgotten Ah Yue's identity?"

  Ati suddenly realized.

  At this time, all the young men and women had quickly climbed out of their carriages and were standing respectfully on one side.

  Lu Xuan also got off the donkey cart. As she walked to Atai's back, she heard a nun ask timidly: "Are you going to ask Hou?"

  King Shang replied, his voice low as he warned the crowd: "Didn't your family remind you? When you see this young lord, pretend you don't know who he is. Also, if he doesn't say it himself, seal your lips and just pay respects."

  "Yes, yes."

  Listening carefully around her, Lu Xuan finally understood that no one had ever mentioned his origins before, and it turned out that a gag order had been issued.

  Just as Lu Xuan raised her head, she saw General Geng standing upright like a gust of wind, with a thin smile at the corner of his lips. However, that cold smile was fleeting, and when she looked again, he had returned to his usual cold-hearted and cold-mouthed demeanor.

  The Knights are getting closer and closer.

  The black, spacious and luxurious carriage gradually galloped to the side of the group of young people.

  Just as everyone bowed their heads at the same time, the carriage swayed and then came to a stop.

  Lu Xuan suddenly felt that the breathing sound beside him had quickened a bit.

  The horse carriage stopped, and the people inside slowly lifted the curtain, looking over this way.

  Just as the young men were hesitating about how to speak, General Geng stepped forward and bowed his fist: "So it's you who has arrived. I pay my respects." His voice was icy cold, his attitude neither polite nor arrogant.

  "Is that so?" A low, gentle voice rose from the carriage, "To be able to meet General Geng in such a small place is truly a fortunate encounter... but I wonder what brings the general here?"

  His laughter has a special flavor, as if nothing is taken seriously, as if all things in the world can be ridiculed and teased, yet it is extremely gentle.

  No one had expected this nobleman to speak up. At once, Wang Shang and the others cautiously lifted their heads and curiously looked over at the two of them.

  Lu Xuan also raised his head.

  As she raised her head, she met the nobleman's handsome and elegant face.

  Lu Xuan glanced at this nobleman and saw him smilingly staring at General Geng, seemingly unaware of himself, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  Facing the nobleman's ridicule, General Geng's expression remained stern and unyielding. He said in a low voice, "I heard that there are many bandits in Hanyang, so I brought my troops to take a look."

  "General Lian is good at loyalty and righteousness!"

  When the noble's voice echoed, General Geng calmly and respectfully replied: "Reporting to the imperial court is a matter of course."

  "Retaliate against the imperial court?" The nobleman chuckled and said: "General Geng is indeed loyal and righteous!"

  This remark is really ambiguous.

  Just as Lu Xuan was muttering to herself, she saw that noble's gaze shift, and it was actually directed at her.

  "...He looked at me! He actually looked at me!"

  Lu Xing's heart skipped a beat, and the person she feared most was him. Although she still didn't know what his identity was until now, she had always been very clear that as long as he said something casually, her fate would completely go off track.

  Lu Xuan suddenly raised her head, her black eyes staring straight at the nobleman. She looked serious and vigilant.

  Under Lu Xuan's gaze, the nobleman seemed to want to smile. So, he also looked at her seriously, and in the four eyes facing each other, only saw his perfectly shaped thin lips curled up, slowly revealing a gentle smile, and then his mouth moved, about to call out her name.

  No way, can't let him summon it!

  Lu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly took a step forward, bowing deeply to the nobleman. In the midst of shock and silence, she said loudly: "Lu Shi Awen has seen the master!"

  “……”

  Dead silence all around.

  As if unaware of the disbelieving gazes fixed on him, Lu Xing bowed and then strode to the noble's carriage, saying respectfully: "Your humble servant was unaware of your arrival, and failed to greet you from afar. Please do not blame me, sir."

  After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and knelt down on one knee, facing the noble person in the carriage, like a proper servant, and performed a proper subordinate's greeting ceremony!

  “……”

  It's still very quiet downstairs.

  It's just too quiet, even the sound of breathing is being deliberately suppressed.

  Ati Wang Shangwen Qing and Geng Jiang Jun stared at Lu Yue in disbelief. Everyone here knew her identity, knew she was a woman.

  A dignified and proper lady like her, in front of so many people, showing such deference to this nobleman, as if she really thought herself a young man, one of his attendants... Was she deceiving him, or had the nobleman given his consent?

  All the sins in the world, for those in superior positions, the crime of deception is always one of the most heinous crimes. Many times, this sin represents unforgivability.

  In a stifling breath, the noble's eyes narrowed as he stared at Lu Xuan, and after a while, his low, ambiguous voice sounded, "Lu Shi Awen?"

  Look, it's been a while since he last saw her, and she's already changed her name again!

  This is really unbearable...

  Lu Xuan's expression didn't change, as if he hadn't heard the mocking tone in Guiren's voice at all. He replied solemnly: "Your humble servant is here."

  The nobleman leaned back and said lazily: "This... what was your name again last time you mentioned it?"

  Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged, she replied seriously: "Master said Ah Wen is called what, Ah Wen will be called what." The tone was extremely loyal, unfortunately, her face was too cold and not enough to curry favor.

  The nobleman tugged at the corner of his mouth and said lazily, "Come over here."

  What does he want her to go over for? She has already knelt down in front of his carriage, if she goes any further, isn't it going into his carriage?

  Lu Xuan suddenly raised her head, and with a smile in her eyes, she stared at him for a moment before lowering her head. "Reporting to Master, Ah Wen doesn't want to!"

  It's really said with conviction and certainty.

  Faint cries of surprise could be heard from all directions.

  The nobleman slowly bowed his head, looking at Lu Yue kneeling in front of him. Under her silver-white long gown, the girl's hair was black and shiny. From his angle, he could see her slender white neck and her long, lightly fluttering eyelashes.

  Without raising his head, he could imagine that she must be pursing her lips tightly, with a stern expression as if facing a formidable enemy...

  After staring at her for a while, the nobleman said lazily: "Alright, let's set off."

  As soon as the words fell, dozens of voices responded in unison: "Yes." Then the carriage started, and the young men also climbed onto their own carriages in a daze.

  Lu Xuan and the other nobles' voices fell, and they stood up with standard and neat movements. Then, very naturally and very calmly, they walked towards their own donkey cart, sat down, lowered their eyes, and as usual, picked up a book to read.

  “……”

  At this time, even General Lian couldn't help but look at Lu Yue.

  Wang Shang was stunned for a moment and exchanged a glance with the other young men.

  To be honest, this is the first time they have seen someone who can be so calm and fearless in front of this person.

  This man is notorious for his unpredictable temper and ruthless behavior. How many people have not dared to get up without his permission, kneeling for several days?

  Ah Xuan, should be fearless of the ignorant?

  With the addition of this noble person, the team quieted down. Even Ati, who loved to talk the most, was now quietly lowering her head.

  However, while some people feared it, even more people looked at that luxurious carriage with admiring and yearning eyes, looking at the person in the carriage who was drinking slowly.

  Chen Shu fell silent for a moment, then leaned in close to Chen Zhen and said in a low voice, "Second brother, do you think that with this person's temperament, if he takes a liking to Ah Yan, will he no longer care about what she has done?"

  As soon as this was said, Chen Zhen was shocked. He stared at his own brother and scolded in a low voice: "A Shu, how can you think like that? Do you want to gamble with the fate of the Chen family? I know you care about Ah Yan, but there's no need to be so overly concerned!"

  Chen Shu turned his head to look at Lu Yue's donkey cart and retorted, "I'm not making a bet... Look at how he treats this Lu girl. In front of hundreds of people, he speaks nonsense and fabricates stories as he pleases. Whether she wants to be a man or not, whether she disregards etiquette and repeatedly offends him or not, he doesn't mind. Second brother, you and I both know that once someone reaches his position, as long as he's willing, the world's rules and etiquette are all a joke."

  "You're crazy!" Zhang Zhen didn't listen at all, he impatiently glared at his younger brother and said in a cold voice: "A Shu, I know what you're thinking. You want to call A Yan back to see if she can catch this person's eye. You really are crazy." With a wave of his hand, he summoned several guards and ordered in a low voice: "Keep an eye on Fourth Brother, don't let anyone come into contact with him!"

  "Yes."

  Several guards walked towards Chen Shu, seeing them approaching, Chen Shu took a deep breath, did not struggle, but only turned his head to look at Lu Yue's donkey cart.

  Staring at Lu Xuan, his eyes narrowed into a line. In those fine and thin, obsessive eyes, there was a hint of hatred.

  He didn't like Lu Xuan, he always thought that it was because of Lu Xuan's appearance that his sister ended up in her current state. He couldn't accept that this woman, who wasn't as beautiful as A Yan, wasn't as talented as A Yan, and whose gentle ways weren't even comparable to those of the fallen noblewoman A Yan, could rely on the favor of the person in front of him to climb to the pinnacle of glory. And his own beautiful, pitiful sister would be reduced to a life of loneliness from then on.

  What's more, he was so disgusted with someone that he couldn't even avenge himself because of fear! What scared him even more was that she would rise to prominence and he would never have the chance to avenge himself. He thought, he must make that person lose interest in her, there must be some other girl to replace her, only then would it be fair.

  At this time, several guards had arrived at Chen Shu's ox cart. They pulled down the curtains of his carriage, a sturdy and imposing canopy that completely blocked his view.
