I'm the one running the game

"Mom, why hasn't there been any news? Can the fake really be coerced?" Duan Long said rather irritably.

His mother Mu Ying looked like she had a good idea: "Of course, a young boy like him can't stand such doubts. He will definitely be deceived by that old man Lu Geng."

Duan Long nodded when he heard this. Although Lu Xingshi was powerful, he had only been in the martial arts world for a short time. What kind of experience could he have?

However, when he thought of the other party's strength, Duan Long couldn't help but shudder.

"But if this matter is leaked, my Duan family will surely die!" Duan Long was not stupid. Why would he go against Lu Xingshi for no reason?

He certainly knew what his mother wanted to do. She just wanted to prove that she was the orthodox of Yan State and Lu Xingshi was just a fraud, and then let Lu Xingshi return the power to her.

Yes, it was her, not him, Duan Long.

Emperor Pingyang became an emperor as a woman and even controlled Dasong. Mu Ying was jealous. She was the direct descendant of the Prince of Yan. In terms of bloodline, she was much more noble than the fake Lu Xingshi. Why couldn't she be a female emperor like Emperor Pingyang?

Mu Ying's face darkened: "Why do you have to hope for your mother to be in trouble?"

Duan Long couldn't help shrinking his head after hearing this.

This made Duan Long very sad. After he drove Duan Chen away and stigmatized him, he immediately began to suppress and support his mother's family, the Mu family, so as to avoid the disaster of his relatives in the future.

It's a pity that he failed, otherwise how could he end up in such a position.

The current Xiacai Duan family has long been in name only, and the actual controller is his mother Mu Ying.

The other party actually used his Duan family as a shield, and secretly used the Mu family as the main force, constantly sucking blood, preparing to seize the State of Yan.

He also became a puppet. Otherwise, if Mu Ying dared to say so during the period when he just came to power, he would dare to put him under house arrest in the backyard.

But the matter has been done, and everything is too late.

Fortunately, if Mu Ying really succeeds, it will not be bad for him. Mu Ying has only one son. Even if he becomes the empress of Yan, he can just change his surname to Mu and still be the prince.

However, Duan Long understands one thing, that is, this thing is impossible to succeed.

How can he seize Yan with such unpresentable means, relying on Mu's few dead men or his uncles who are useless? This is simply a fantasy.

The biggest possibility is that Mu and his Duan family will die without a complete corpse.

Now that even the Jianghu is almost gone, he still wants to use Jianghu to deal with Lu Xingshi, which is ridiculous.

It is better to raise soldiers and horses and manufacture armaments, so that there is still a chance of success.

"What? You look like you don't believe that your mother can succeed?" Mu Ying showed a sarcastic smile. She got a rare item from the Holy Fire Cult.

She also controlled it through the secret method of the prince's lineage. As long as she let Lu Xingshi fall into the trap, she would be sure to kill him on the spot.

"Believe it, how can I not believe it." Duan Long understood that his mother had been insane for a long time. If he hadn't been controlled by the other party, she would have wanted to escape long ago.

"Just believe it. When the time comes, kill Lu Xingshi, the fake, and the position of the prince will only be yours." Mu Ying said with a little neurosis, and got up and left.

Duan Long couldn't help but curse in his heart: 'Crazy, all crazy! '

He was spoiled since he was a child, but the experiences in these days made him understand the dangers of the world, and his temper was also beaten and no longer as violent and unpredictable as before.

His idea now is very simple, that is, before this disaster drags him and the entire Duan and Mu families to death, he must find a way to stop it.

Mu Ying was blinded by the so-called empress. Yan State is so powerful, how can you, a woman, seize it?

The reason why Emperor Pingyang can become the empress is not because of her powerful means, but because her husband, the regent Li Xuandao, can control the entire Dasong alone. Otherwise, how could there be the appearance of the empress of Dasong.

Moreover, Emperor Pingyang is at least the orthodox of the former Song. You are the daughter of the descendant of the former Yan Prince Xi who is separated by countless veins. You can't even stand firm. The main vein doesn't recognize you.

Lu Xingshi can become the King of Yan not because the other party is under the banner of the former Yan, but because he is strong, so he is the King of Yan.

"Women who only know some stupid schemes and house fights!"

Duan Long cursed directly this time, and began to plan in his mind.

"Let's run away first." After making sure that Mu Ying had gone far away, Duan Long carefully opened the tunnel he had dug for more than a month. The tunnel led directly to a pond outside the mansion.

He dug it alone with great effort, and almost burst into tears.

The tool was a spoon. Don't ask him why he only had this thing. He was a puppet under house arrest, not the rich second generation before.

It was also thanks to the revival of heaven and earth that his strength also increased with the tide, otherwise it would be unrealistic to dig such a tunnel.

According to his estimation, it will be dug through soon.

When he leaves this mansion, the sky will be high for birds to fly and the sea will be wide for fish to jump.

He no longer has to be a punching bag or be scared.

…

"It looks ordinary, how dare you plot against me." Lu Xingshi was fishing under the pond and observing the Duan Mansion.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he even took off his magic weapon and clothes temporarily.

Fishing is not his hobby, it is just a disguise.

On the way, he also inquired about the situation of the Duan family. Except that the head of the family, Duan Long, seemed to be a puppet, there was nothing to pay attention to.

However, the Mu family did make small moves constantly, but these small moves could not be put on the table, and could not reach Lu Xingshi's desk. It was only when Lu Xingshi asked casually this time that he could see it.

As for the things done by the Mu family, how should I put it? It was just like some chambers of commerce being robbed by gangsters. Such things were not qualified to be put on Lu Xingshi's desk, not even Luo Lin's desk. At most, they could only be put on the county level, and the county level above was not qualified.

Even if the other party's plan succeeded, the impact would be negligible.

Lu Geng should be the other party's first plan. After the failure, all subsequent plans were scrapped.

If the other party really had a complete response plan, they would not use moral kidnapping so crudely.

Just thinking about it, the sudden fishing rod sank.

"Eh? Caught...someone?" Lu Xingshi thought the fish had taken the bait at first, but when he looked, he saw that his hook had hooked a person. He quickly reached out and lifted up a wet young man.

"He's drowned. I don't remember where he came from."

Lu Xingshi checked and found that the young man had just fainted, but he was not dead yet. He quickly gave him first aid.

"Cough~" Duan Long coughed out a big mouthful of water, opened his eyes a little dazedly, and saw Lu Xingshi's appearance. He even had a double vision, but he thanked him immediately: "Thank you for saving me."

There was a small problem with the tunnel he dug.

There was nothing wrong with the direction and distance, but he misjudged the pool of water. When he dug it through, it collapsed directly, and then the water flowed back.

If he hadn't been rescued by Lu Xingshi, he might have been swollen by the time someone found him.

"Brother, you look so familiar. Have we met before?" Duan Long felt that he had seen Lu Xingshi somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Lu Xingshi looked Duan Long up and down, and then said: "I also think you look familiar. I guess your last name is Duan."

He recognized Duan Long. He had obtained Duan Long's appearance through the intelligence system of Yan State before. The similarity between him and Duan Chen was about 10%. After all, they have the same father but different mothers. It would be a miracle if they were exactly the same.

"Brother, you are joking. My last name is Duan and my name is Long." Duan Long introduced himself with a wry smile, and then said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I still have some things to do. I will repay you for saving my life in the future."

Duan Long naturally did not think of Lu Xingshi as the King of Yan. How could the King of Yan be fishing next to the pond behind his house?

What's more, the King of Yan was wearing a royal robe and had a great temperament. How could he not recognize him?

"Don't, just report it today." Lu Xingshi grabbed the other party and made Duan Long unable to break free.

Seeing this, Duan Long could only helplessly say: "Brother, please tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely do my best."

He knew he couldn't be impatient now.

"I heard that the Duan family was going to rebel, and they bribed Lu Geng to plot. As a result, Lu Geng was frightened and confessed everything."

"So I am very curious, how can a small family like the Duan family have such a big heart." Lu Xingshi complained, and he directly asked the head of the Duan family what his psychological journey was.

After hearing this, Duan Long's pupils shrank, and he felt a little shocked.

No wonder there was no news, it turned out that Lu Geng, the old man, sold them out.

"This...this...has nothing to do with the Duan family. I really have something to do and want to leave first." Duan Long felt that he had never been so wronged in his life. He didn't enjoy any benefits at all, and he was blamed.

"Who knows, but why did the head of the Duan family leave so quickly?" Lu Xingshi smiled, and then said to Duan Long: "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Lu, and I hold the position of King of Yan in Yan State."

"Do you think your statement can convince me not to kill your whole family?"

At this moment, Duan Long stopped struggling and felt that it was difficult to breathe.

What kind of luck is this? He actually met Lu Xingshi here and was rescued by him.

Now if he doesn't give a good explanation, if nothing unexpected happens, Lu Xingshi will kill him and hang his head on the highest of his Duan family's heads as a deterrent.

"This matter is really not my Duan family's business, it's the Mu family..." Duan Long looked at Lu Xingshi wearing the magic weapon and clothes, and suddenly changed from ordinary to majestic. The whole person's mentality collapsed immediately at this moment.
