Lu Yunxi's father, who disappeared ten years ago supposedly to sell tea but was actually a rebel leader who eventually became Emperor. He saved Xie Zhiyuan and was joined by him when he was just a commoner with fewer than a thousand men and barely a hundred horses. He captured Jingdu and sent a letter to his family urging them to return to the capital. He is described as not well-educated. Lu Yunxi left home when she was six years old and only clearly remembers his thick, coarse beard.
