Chapter 112 [It's Not Good to Be the Head of the House]
What Ning Shangwu said also has a certain amount of truth. If all the people of the family are unanimous to the outside world, the overall strength of the Canglong Kingdom will definitely double.
But in fact, it's not that easy.
Not to mention that between the major families, it was originally a relationship of mutual beware.
The country's royal family alone is full of problems. Ning Shangwu probably didn't know that the royal family of the Canglong Kingdom had already colluded with the demon clan.
If a country, even the top of the country has rotten, then the country can be regarded as coming to an end.
Such a country is not something that a group of people with lofty ideals can defend.
Moreover, a war is a matter of death.
When the state compulsorily conscripted soldiers, the various families pulled out some useless waste children to join the army, and they were naturally absolutely unwilling to let them use their elite combat strength.
A chivalrous person like Luo Yan is not something that can be found anywhere.
Thinking like this in his heart, Luo Ming naturally wouldn't say it directly.
And then, in the dialogue between the two, Ning Shangwu did not leave "Luo Yan is a great person".
From the look of adoration in Ning Shangwu's eyes, Luo Ming believed that he was really praising Luo Yan.
But over time, Luo Ming also heard some off-string sounds.
This Ning Shangwu seems to be praising Luo Ming's father, but in fact, he is also deliberately instilling some thoughts in Luo Ming, "Your father is very honorable for serving the country".
At the beginning, Luo Ming felt that the conversation with Ning Shangwu was very relaxed and comfortable.
But as Luo Ming discovered his true intentions, Luo Ming began to speak cautiously.
In the final analysis, Ning Shangwu is also a person with a deep heart in the city.
What he said was nothing more than wanting to pull himself into the water, so that he and the entire Luo family would serve the royal army of the Canglong Kingdom.
I have to say that this kind of person who makes a good impression on you at first, and then slowly and subtly changes your thoughts. It's really hard to prevent.
If it weren't for Luo Ming being a traverser, he wouldn't have such a deep affection for this country. I'm afraid I'm already talking about it at this point.
Thinking about this layer, no matter how openly and secretly Ning Shangwu followed, Luo Ming was unmoved.
Between the words, it was all indifferent.
Over time, Ning Shangwu also saw what Luo Ming meant.
A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"General Luo Yan is a great hero who cares about the safety of the country, but unfortunately, in this Canglong country, I am afraid there are no such heroes. ”
Ning Shangwu's words, although he was talking about the entire Canglong Kingdom.
But Luo Ming knew that he wanted to say "his father is a hero, but it's a pity that his son is not promising".
This refers to the Sang scolding Huai-style agitation method.
It's a pity that he provoked the wrong person.
Luo Ming didn't want to talk to him about this matter anymore, so he deliberately diverted the topic and talked about the form of the Luo family.
"In order to deal with this sudden demon invasion, my Luo family also suffered heavy casualties, and if I want to recover, I'm afraid I will have to recuperate for a few years. ”
Luo Ming didn't lie, in this battle, the Luo family lost the Great Elder and more than two hundred young blood.
Of course, in order to exaggerate the amount of losses, Luo Ming blamed the deaths of Luo Tianxing and Luo Chen, as well as all the senior guards, on this battle.
Hearing this, Ning Shangwu couldn't help but stop talking.
After confirming from his lieutenant that what Luo Ming said was true, it was difficult to say anything more.
Although he knew that these were just Luo Ming's prevarications, the Luo family did suffer heavy casualties. Even if he bluntly said that he wanted to recruit them to work for the Luo family to serve in the royal army, Luo Ming had a legitimate reason to refuse him.
He said so much to Luo Ming, and his purpose was naturally not just to take a fancy to Luo Ming's strength.
At the same time, he also fell in love with the power and influence of the Luo family in Qingzhou.
The head of the Luo family is in Qingzhou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the uncrowned king.
If you control the Luo family, you will control the major family forces in Qingzhou, and even the major sects.
But Luo Ming's words blocked what he was going to say next.
However, Ning Shangwu was not in a hurry.
He had already said before that he would let the royal family send a reward to Luo Ming.
It's actually a trap.
This trap, Luo Ming is still young, and he can't see it. But the fourth master of the Luo family beside Luo Ming, after listening to the whole conversation between the two, his heart was like a mirror.
After Ning Shangwu left Cangming City with his royal army on the grounds that it was getting late.
The fourth master of the Luo family said to Luo Ming: "It seems that General Ning intends to recruit our Luo family. ”
For Luo Tianping's words, Luo Ming was not surprised, he could hear Ning Shangwu's extraneous voice, and Luo Tianping could naturally hear it.
Luo Tianping is Luo Ming's fourth uncle, and in his impression, Luo Tianping is a dedicated person.
When Luo Tianming was alive, the best relationship with him was the fourth uncle Luo Tianping.
When the original owner was still in the Luo family, Luo Tianping also took good care of the original owner.
Thinking about it, Luo Ming said: "He wants the Luo family to fight for him, fourth uncle, don't worry, I have my own measure." ”
Since Luo Ming wants to be the head of the Luo family, he will naturally not do family affairs as casually as his own private affairs.
Hearing this, Luo Tianping said: "Actually, being friendly with him is not without benefits to our Luo family, after the death of the second brother, the bridge between our Luo family and the royal family will be broken." What Ning Shangwu said today is actually to renew this bridge for our Luo family. ”
Luo Ming thought for a while when he heard this, and said, "I didn't expect this, but I have other plans for the affairs of the family and the royal family." ”
Luo Ming remembered that Jiang Luanyin had said that Luo Yan had buried the Canglong Seal outside the territory.
If you want to open up the bridge between the Luo family and the royal family, this Canglong Seal will be a good opportunity.
However, Luo Tianping on the side was a little surprised, and then shook his head and said: "It's late, so far, our Luo family can only contact the royal family through Ning Shangwu." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
Seeing Luo Ming's doubts, Luo Tianping explained: "You have just started to dissolve the family affairs, so naturally you don't understand. Just now, when you promised him to go to the royal family to seek a reward for the Luo family, you had actually agreed to let him become the bridge between our Luo family and the royal family. ”
Hearing this, Luo Ming was a little stunned.
At that time, he thought that Ning Shangwu was just a piece of kindness, so he just symbolically shirked it and did not refuse.
I never thought that there was such a deep meaning in this.
Luo Tianping continued: "In this Canglong Kingdom, all families, when they develop to a certain scale, need to be attached to the royal family of Canglong Kingdom. ”
"And this time, General Ning reported to the royal family to seek a reward for our Luo family. In fact, he is telling the royal family that General Ning has become a bridge between our Luo family and the royal family. ”
"In the future, if our Luo family wants to have any ventilation with the royal family, we need to go through the hands of General Ning. ”
Hearing this, Luo Ming suddenly realized.
I couldn't help but laugh at myself.
No wonder Ning Shangwu walked so simply just now, it turned out that he had already invisibly yin himself. There is no rush at all.
I was sorry that he had the righteousness of a soldier at the beginning, and I was close to him, but I didn't expect that the other party's scheming was so deep!
Luo Tianping patted Luo Ming's shoulder and said, "You will become the head of the family in the future, and you still have a lot to learn." General Ning only came to Qingzhou as a guard general in the past few years, and he only has an official name and his reputation is not high. Therefore, the support of the local forces in Qingzhou is needed. And our Luo family is the largest family in Qingzhou. If he wants to completely control Qingzhou, he needs to recruit our Luo family and use the prestige of our Luo family to seek power for him. ”
Luo Ming nodded.
As Luo Tianping said, if you want to be a good head of the family, there are many, many more things to learn.
